The best territory designer of all time - Episode 380
380fury. How to face fate (2)
“Well, it's easy.”
it's really easy.
If you think about it, it's not that difficult to come up with..
Thinking like that, Lloyd grinned..
Javiel and Sir Georexius looking at themselves.
I raised an eyebrow at the two..
“what. why. what. Why do they both look like that?.”
“I'm curious and worried about what kind of crazy thing they're going to do this time..”
Javiel answered as if he had been waiting..
The silver-haired knight continued..
“But right now, it doesn't matter if it's crazy, I think there has to be a good solution somehow. I didn't know that the warlock that Lloyd and I dealt with at the time would become such a problem..”
“I know. After all, I didn't even know that he would use the King of Hell as his backbone..”
“So, what is the easy way?.”
“There is such a thing. You'll find out once you clear things up from here and return to the territory. So, Georek… … No, Lexi?”
- Yes, my lord..
Hell Knight answers the call.
Lloyd asked him.
“First, we need to remove some barriers. I've been holding on with my foolish mentality since a while ago, but this is secretly making me feel anxious. So I'm telling you, you can remove this barrier.?”
- Of course, my lord..
“Then get rid of it.”
- I will follow your orders.
It was the moment when Sir Georexius nodded..
……hook?
Just like a gas burner that runs out of butane gas goes out..
Or, the screen of a cell phone suddenly darkens when the battery is low..
The magical barrier that had been erected surrounding the city disappeared in an instant..
It was such a simple process.
Even grandiose orders.
Even evil witchcraft.
There was no need for any fancy moves..
Lloyd's head tilted to one side..
“hey?”
- Yes, my lord..
“Why is it so simple??”
- It's originally a simple process.
“okay?”
- yes. This is because the concept is to cancel the activation rather than remove the barrier..
“So, why did you do it now when you can easily cancel it like this??”
- That's because my lord didn't specifically order it.…….
“really?”
- Indeed, my lord..
“Actually, I didn't do it because it was convenient to activate that barrier.?
- …….
“Wow, look at someone lying from the first day of work in case they think he's Satan's friend, Hell Knight..”
- Oh, it's not a lie!
“Really?”
- Yes, my lord..
“So, if you want, you can create that magic barrier again??”
- That's not it, my lord. The barrier requires meticulous preparation every time it is activated..
“Then I'm glad.”
Lloyd shrugged and gestured to Sir Haviel and Georexius..
“Then let's go, there's a lot to do..”
So I took the two of them and left the public hall..
We left the city and went to a temporary camp under a cliff..
Even though it was late at night, the camp was crowded..
numerous citizens.
Regardless of status or wealth,.
Everyone was coming out of the temporary tent and making noise..
It could have been so.
‘A magical barrier rose up around Namaran and just disappeared..’
It must have been a strange and overwhelming sight..
On the one hand, it must have looked scary and mysterious..
Lloyd passed by the crowd of citizens who were muttering and murmuring..
Fortunately(?), we, Javiel, and Sir Georexius all wore hoods, so no one paid attention to us..
So we entered Count Namaran's temporary tent..
“You arrived safely..”
Count Namaran jumps up as soon as he sees this..
Then, when she saw the Hell Knight walking in the hood, her shoulders flinched and stiffened..
Lloyd swallowed a bitter smile and spoke quickly..
“it's okay. Our Hell Knight won't... … no, it's safe.”
“It's safe.?”
“yes. You just signed an employment contract with me and decided to work for me..”
“…….”
“You don’t have to look at it with such strange eyes. Hmm! Well, anyway, things worked out well. You've seen walls come and go..”
“Yes, I saw it. So, are you both injured??”
“yes. Thanks for your concern.”
Lloyd grinned..
and said.
“The wall thing has been worked out. A similar situation will not occur in the future. So, we can safely send citizens home. And I would like to add, I think I need to go back to Frontera territory right now..”
“Frontera territory? now?”
“yes. It's difficult to go into detail, but.”
Lloyd said with a bitter smile..
Count Namaran asked as if he had guessed what was going on here..
“Even though the facility supporting the slope is quite damaged, if you are trying to rush back without fixing it... … Looks like something urgent and big happened there.?”
“Yes, I think it will happen soon. I would like to make a promise.”
“If it's a promise?”
“After finishing the work at the estate, I will come back and do the repair work..”
“Is it free??”
“Is that possible?.”
“also. I thought so.”
“also. That's the way the world is.”
Lloyd smiled and added a few words of advice..
I'm sorry for leaving so quickly now.
However, fortunately, there are still quite a few intact stakes and anchors left..
As long as no additional significant impact is applied to the slope, the collapse will not progress further..
So, you can live in peace for the time being..
I will definitely come before the collapse begins again..
I asked Count Namaran and made a promise..
And immediately left the camp..
I got on the Yongyongi that was waiting nearby..
But Yongyong started dancing as soon as he saw Hell Knight..
It also waggled its tail like a big puppy meeting someone it was happy to see..
“Why is he like that??”
Lloyd asked, unable to see anything..
Sir Hellknight Georexius shrugged his shoulder blades..
- They are welcoming me warmly..
“you? why? We used to know each other?”
- That's not it.
“then?”
- Umm… … Thanks to me, I was finally able to escape from being the youngest member of the Golbyeongdae.…….
“aha.”
Now I see that our Lord Lexi has suddenly become a new recruit..
The youngest member of the Bone Corps, Hell Knight..
Lloyd held back the laughter that threatened to escape and climbed on top of Yongyong's head..
Javiel, who was sitting next to me, asked.
“But Mr. Lloyd. I have other questions and concerns..”
“huh? What.”
“The culprit who caused this wall incident. Are you not catching it??”
“Oh, that?”
Lloyd curled the corners of his mouth..
I said, thinking it was natural for Javiel to be curious like that..
“No need to catch it. Because there was no such thing as a culprit to begin with..”
“yes?”
“There was none. criminal.”
“then… … Who on earth planted magic power in the pile?.”
“restoration of fate.”
“…….”
Habiel keeps his mouth shut.
I looked back at the guy and said.
“The scattered magical power was gathered together by the phenomenon of restoration of fate. In which place? In the past, during the first Wall incident, I was at the place where I excavated the Noctanium gem..”
“Does that mean, by any chance, that the artificial stake near the place where the jewel was buried was imbued with magic??”
“uh. Exactly.”
Lloyd nodded..
It was an almost accurate summary..
It was also information confirmed through the ending spoiler where he was killed by Hell Knight..
“So now there is no need for the magic to come together again. There will be no situation where a wall arises. Because this guy is alive and well..”
Lloyd glanced at Lord Georexius..
Hell Knight nodded..
- You are correct. In the first place, that barrier was meant to awaken and summon me. Now that its purpose has been achieved, it will never be created again..
“I heard?”
Lloyd shrugs while receiving Hell Knight's words..
Javiel nodded slowly..
“but. After hearing it, I guess so..”
“Yeah, something like that..”
It really is like that..
That's what the phenomenon of restoration of fate is like..
It was supposed to happen like in the original, but they canceled it..
It was a characteristic of the restoration of fate phenomenon that it was reproduced in a similar form here..
But now?
Hell Knight is not dead.
Regardless of whether he became one of our subordinates or not, he is alive and well..
Lloyd thought that was the most important thing..
‘of course. A magical barrier created in Namaran. After all, it is a magical power supply device to awaken and summon Hell Knight Georexius. But now? The Hell Knight summoned like that did not die. The role of the barrier has been fulfilled..’
So, if Georexius continues to function normally,?
At least the wall won't be re-created in the meantime..
This makes Namaran safer..
‘That's why I didn't kill this guy..’
To survive and run safely.
To make me your subordinate like that..
That was the ultimate goal we wanted to achieve by solving this case..
‘Anyway, whoa. Goal achieved.’
Lloyd took a deep breath..
Will we be able to do it like this in the future?.
On the one hand, I'm scared and anxious.
On the other hand, I thought it was worth a try..
“So, first of all, let’s go to the territory.!”
Kwaaang-!
Yongyong kicks off the ground and takes flight.
That's how I left Namaran..
I stayed up all night and flew..
Soon the dawn of Dongcheon dawned..
I returned to the estate through the dawn fog at the foot of the mountain..
Lloyd arrived at the estate and headed straight to the mansion..
But the first person he visited was not the Countess and Countess Frontera..
“Hey, Dragon King? Are you there??”
Knock knock?
I timidly knocked on the guest room door..
I pricked up my ears and looked for signs inside..
But there was no sound or reaction..
‘also. Jana.’
I can't hear a single breath.
Even though this person has the hearing of a sword master.
‘Indeed, the Dragon King Berkis. He's the strongest sleeper I know..’
How deep are you sleeping before you can even hear the sound of your breathing?.
Perhaps we have reached the level of success only in the field of sleep..
With that in mind, Lloyd gently turned the doorknob..
Luckily the door wasn't locked.
‘good.’
I will sneak inside..
I will politely wake up the Dragon King Berkis..
Without disturbing his temper as much as possible..
Throwing in an offer that would tempt him.
I will make that sleepyhead join the war as a reinforcement for this side..
‘If that happens, will the army of Hell invade? It's easy to solve. No matter how strong the hell army is, it will be nothing more than chewing gum to Dragon King Berkis..’
If you are a dragon king.
If that overwhelming power.
Maybe he can even compete with the King of Hell..
Lloyd thought so. He was sure. I expected it. She desperately wanted it. With sincere wish, I cast my gaze deep inside her guest room..
And I was embarrassed.
‘uh?’
There was no.
Dragon King Berkis was nowhere to be seen in the guest room..
‘what? Could it be that they used magic??’
Could it be that he hid his appearance and presence through invisibility magic for a more perfect night's sleep?.
With that thought in mind, I quickly mobilized my dark mind..
I turned all three circles..
I searched without missing a single trace of the surrounding mana flow..
But I didn't feel it.
‘doesn't exist.’
Not even a trace of Berkis' breathing or a trace of Mana could be detected..
I was very embarrassed.
It was an unexpected situation.
‘Dragon King Berkis That's a sleeping tank that doesn't even bother tossing and turning while sleeping. But he left his bed and went somewhere? This makes sense?’
Unless there is some strong motive..
It was a situation that was thought to be impossible to happen..
But I saw something that proved it was a true story(?).
It was a small note left on the table next to the bed..
“…….”
Lloyd picked up the note..
The contents of the note were not only simple, but overly simple..
[go. ㅊ ㅈ.]
“…….”
At first I thought it was some kind of password..
But when I looked closely, it wasn't there..
‘This could not be... … persimmon? Find porridge? So, this is me. If you find it, kill it? That's it?’
That seemed to make sense..
Even as I write this short sentence.
I'm tired of writing just a few more words.
It looks like he left a note like this..
‘It's a note left by the Dragon King Berkis. That makes sense too. He's leaving. If you come and bother me, I'll kill you..’
I laughed out loud without realizing it..
On the one hand, I thought it was a disaster..
‘Tsk. It is a disaster that can be easily solved with the support of Dragon King Berkis..’
But it seemed like it was going through the water..
It was because of the personality of Dragon King Berkis that I had experienced so far..
‘Basically, it's arbitrary. I have to go to a public office in a moody mood. So, don't listen to anyone else except your wife. Extremely selfish and impulsive. But that guy took the trouble to leave a note like this.?’
It should have been seen as a strong expression of intention..
However, if you ignore his expression of intention and go to see him,?
‘I'm going to die. really.’
What is the Dragon King Sponsorship Membership?.
It will fly by in just one queue..
You'll end up getting really ugly..
There may be a situation where you die from the Dragon King before the Hell King..
Lloyd, who had been tapping the calculator all the way to that point, smiled bitterly..
‘……Whoa. There is no support fire from the Dragon King for now..’
In fact, it was the most powerful card..
it's gone.
I suddenly lost my appetite..
But Lloyd wasn't one to give up..
“Lloyd, what do you plan to do now?.”
“Well, well. I'll have to go to plan B, I guess.”
“Plan B… … What do you mean?.”
“uh.”
Lloyd nodded..
Toward Javiel, who is looking this way with his eyebrows furrowed..
I asked calmly, as if it wasn't the time to make a fuss yet..
“Have you ever showered with 2 billion liters of holy water??”
