History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 383
383fury. honest determination (1)
“Lake Capua. We will make holy water there..”
“yes?”
Javiel frowned..
Lake Capua.
He asked where he would get 2 billion liters of clear water to be used as an ingredient for holy water, and even if he made that much holy water, how he would distribute it to the legions of hell..
“Is there that much water in Lake Capua??”
“uh. That's about it. To be exact, between 1.9 billion and 2 billion?”
Lloyd shrugged..
The Eastern Mountain Range stands tall to the east of Frontera Territory..
Capua, a huge mountain lake at the waist of the mountain range.
It was not a natural lake.
It was a lake created by Bibyeongi’s house-building activities..
But the scale was truly enormous..
‘The straight line distance from the surface of the water is approximately 60 kilometers. The curved surface distance is about 120 kilometers? It's almost the same size as Soyang Lake in Korea. The average water depth is a little shallower than that, but it's still enough to compare..’
For reference, the fresh water volume of Soyang Lake near Chuncheon, Korea was 2.7 billion tons..
The fresh water volume of Lake Capua is about 2 billion tons, which is comparable to that of Lake Capua..
Perfect for making holy water.
No, actually…….
“2 billion liters of holy water. That's the amount suggested to be made from the beginning..”
“Did you do that??”
“uh.”
“But I have more questions and concerns..”
“What?”
“I'm sure you're not trying to turn the entire lake water into holy water.?”
“It's not that it's not, it's true?”
“…….”
“The lake, I'm just going to turn it into holy water..”
“…….”
“Then there is no need to store it separately. how good.”
“But then the water supplied to the waterworks and the dye house of the Vichy of Lacona…….”
“doesn't care. Even if a small amount is discharged into the water supply, it will not be reduced by much from 2 billion liters..”
“No, what I'm saying is that if holy water leaks out of the water pipes, the residents will ask what to do..”
“Oh, that? A waterworks where holy water flows gently. Good.”
“…….”
“If you drink it, you will become healthy. The color of the dye will also become even. It's good, right? But I'm a bit curious..”
“What are you curious about?.”
“If drinking holy water comes out as rest... … Should I say holy rest??”
“…….”
“sorry.”
“You just need to know.”
“Uh, okay. anyway.”
It seems like everything is ready.
It's like they're preparing for everything.
Lloyd had a confident smile on his lips..
“The lake itself will be transformed into holy water. I've already thought of a way to distribute it efficiently on the day of the decisive battle. In order to implement that method, we will make various preparations from now on. So you can stop worrying.”
“All right.”
“……hmm?”
“yes?”
“Did you eat something wrong??”
“That's not it. Why do you look at me like that?.”
“Because it’s strange.”
Lloyd tilted his head..
“Okay, Rae. Just don't grab any pods and you get it. Our Javiel is not like this..”
“…….”
“You are Javiel, right??”
“you're right.”
“But why?”
“Do you hate it because I agree so easily??”
“No, not that. Because it’s awkward.”
“You have to get used to it..”
Javiel burst out laughing..
It's true.
You'll have to get used to it..
From now on, I have decided to believe everything this person says. Because he decided to do it..
With that thought in my mind, I said something else with my mouth..
“Wouldn't it hurt more if I often counter Lloyd's words or opinions and pretend to follow him, but sometimes he pokes me where it hurts?.”
“omg. Was it something like that?.”
“yes. That's it..”
“evil bastard.”
“You're not in a position to say something like that..”
“I don't know. If I do it, it's romance, if someone else does it, it's adultery..”
“aha. So you're going to respond with shamelessness..”
“What is life? If you don't have any weapons, you have to be shameless..”
Lloyd smiled bitterly..
I said these words without thinking..
After spitting it out, I looked back.
It seems like words that show the trajectory of one's life itself..
That feeling made me smile bitterly..
“Anyway, that's it. From now on, you can just prepare for your future plans. But not today. First of all, I have to start acting like a human today..”
“If you are a human being?”
“Since you're home, I have to say hello. I had a good time,.”
The bitter smile became slightly darker..
After saying this,.
I felt like the Count and Countess were my real parents..
Lloyd shook his head gently to get rid of the pointless thought..
‘What kind of ridiculous idea did I have... … . If you think about it, I'm just a guy who took my real son's place. It's like I've committed a crime against both of you. So let’s not dare to think arrogantly like that..’
Could it be that our relationship has become a bit like a family?.
A heart overflowing with people that emerge little by little.
I forced it and pressed it..
Even if the Count and Countess see themselves that way,.
At least until I tell you the truth about the real Lloyd, I shouldn't dare hope for family love..
I made that promise again and again..
And said hello to the count and wife..
“I went there.”
“……uh?”
It happened to be a count and couple enjoying a chat after dinner..
What were we talking about?.
They were two people sitting side by side drinking tea with warm smiles..
Then, my eyes widened when I heard this greeting..
I jumped up without anyone telling me first..
I moved in a hurry this way..
“Are you here??”
Clasp both hands.
Look at your face and whole body.
After making eye contact,.
I have been told countless silent words.
Lloyd could feel it all..
“…….”
Haven't you had a hard time?.
Are you injured or in pain?.
Did you eat well?.
So are you okay?.
Since they didn't bring it up, the two people looked at me with more questions in their eyes..
It must have been because of those gazes and touches..
My heart breaks without even realizing it.
Without hesitation, I was struck by the warm feeling..
The promise I repeated a while ago when I came to say hello was in vain..
Lloyd smiled brightly, as if he were talking to his real parents..
“yes. I'm here.”
no longer needed to be said.
The Countess welcomed Lloyd warmly..
I had a hard time traveling so far..
Pat me on the back and make me sit next to you.
Looking at the rough back of my hands.
I laughed silently for a while.
and thought.
This child is not their real son.
I don't know why this happened.
Nevertheless, this child has also become no different from a son..
He is a deep, kind, and sincere child..
Someday I'll tell you everything.
So I will never reveal that this child is not my biological son..
I don't want this good kid's feelings to be hurt by showing off like that for no reason..
I hope that doesn't happen.
I thought so.
Like treating my real son.
I smiled more warmly, worried with all my heart, and welcomed you warmly..
It was thanks to that.
Lloyd had no time to know what was in the Countess's mind..
I just thought you two didn't know your secret yet..
On the one hand, I was grateful, and on the other hand, I swallowed my guilty feelings..
On the other hand, I promised.
No matter what happens.
No matter what hardships come.
I will protect these two like my parents..
That's why.
That night, when everyone was asleep.
Lloyd used the ending spoiler to get a glimpse of the upcoming decisive battle with the legions of Hell..
♣
“……omg! Heo Eok!”
Running.
kick the ground.
Jump over the corpse.
Running again.
I let out a rough breath..
“Huh! omg! Hell's legions invade! When is it! 90 days later!”
Skak!
Defeated a Satan.
I jumped over the body and extended the shovel..
The shovel covered in aura stretched out furiously..
crashed.
Tukeng!
A great sword blocking a shovel.
Eyes shining behind the black greatsword.
The Hell Knight's greatsword took over the shovel. Spilled it out.
Kaga Gagak-!
the shovel slipped.
The great sword moved cleverly..
The moment I felt that, I quickly lowered myself..
Quaaaaa-!
A storm of great swords passing through space as if it would tear, no, completely destroy it.!
My hair was flying all over the place..
I got goosebumps.
But I don't even have time to realize it.
It was because I felt like I was alive behind the scenes..
“……Sigh! The scale of the invasion!”
I bounced my bowed body..
I took a step to the side and swung the shovel..
KwaKang!
“……!”
I barely managed to block the great sword that came from behind..
No, I didn't block it, it felt like my whole body was being crushed..
“……Okay!”
I lost my balance.
fell down.
Did I miss the shovel?.
My hands were so numb I couldn't feel them..
But I didn't even have time to look at it..
I lifted my head first..
“……!”
Another Hell Knight who hit me from behind.
His eyes were burning right in front of his nose..
At the same time, my heart became warm..
Like being struck by hot iron.
Kuuk.
The sound wasn't loud.
No, it was laughably quiet..
I just thought this was the sound of a person's body being pierced by a piece of metal..
Cook, cook! cook!
sick.
Even before.
Even from behind.
The black great sword stings my whole body one after another. It pierces through. His blood soaked. To destroy life. use evil digging into.
The sensation of feeling each and every broken organ intact..
Every time that happens, my whole body shakes.
My mouth dropped open..
But there was no voice.
Only a faint moan, like a deflating balloon, came out..
My vision quickly became blurry..
The gray sky shimmered..
Are my eyes full of tears?.
But why are my tears dark red?.
“……Whoop, whoop.!”
I need to talk.
What should I say?.
Rapidly losing consciousness.
In the strange feeling of life leaking out along with blood..
In the eerie goosebumps and unrealistic pain that grips my whole body,.
All I could hear was the harsh voices of the Hell Knights who stabbed me..
- You will become the master's new subject..
- Welcome, Lloyd Frontera..
- Also congratulations.
- Now you will join us, Suho Kim.
“her… … black…….”
What kind of bullshit are you talking about?.
please stop.
I want to say something.
no words came out.
My vision became blurry.
There's only one thing I see.
The blue eyes of the Hell Knight approaching.
coming this way.
getting closer.
Like I'm going to devour you.
As if I'm going to dig out my eyes.
As if being pulled into the abyss.
closer. continue. Madly. Kill it. Kill it. Kill it. Kill it. Kill it. Kill it. Kill it. Kill it. kill it.
“……Hahahaha!”
Lloyd screamed and woke up..
I curled my toes tightly..
I grabbed the blanket.
I pulled him towards my body, which was covered in cold sweat..
And then he looked down at his chest..
“omg… … ! Huh! Huh?……?”
does not exist.
There is no great sword piercing the chest..
No piercing wounds, no flowing blood..
So, until just now, that was…….
“Wow, it was a dream. haha. under.”
The goosebumps that haven't gone away yet.
a wet pillow.
dark and quiet bedroom.
As soon as I confirmed it, a smile of relief flowed out..
“Wow me. Of course. haha. What a dream.”
It was truly a creepy dream..
It was a dream so realistic that it made my teeth tremble..
Actually, it had to be that way..
“Of course… … Are you just dreaming what you saw in the ending spoiler? Whoa.”
A nightmare that just woke me up.
That was exactly what I saw in the ending spoiler before I went to sleep..
Thinking about that made me shiver again..
‘There are already spoilers for the ending. After watching that, I felt uneasy and couldn't sleep well..’
It was the most horrible death I've ever seen..
It was so vivid it gave me goosebumps..
That's why.
Since I saw that earlier.
Even when I lay down to sleep, I couldn't fall asleep..
It was because my mind was so confused..
Still, I can't help it.
First of all, it is beneficial to sleep well.
Only then will I be able to work with strength starting tomorrow..
That's the best way to stop their invasion..
I was tossing and turning, repeating to myself endlessly..
After tossing and turning for a while, I finally fell asleep..
‘But, tsk. I only slept for about 30 minutes.’
It seemed like it was because it was still dark outside the window..
Lloyd lifted the glass of water from the bedside table..
I quenched my burning throat by leaning in at once..
As a result, I completely lost sleep..
‘Whoa. You were wrong tonight.’
It seemed impossible to sleep again now..
As I woke up, I wanted to summarize the ending spoiler I saw earlier..
‘So, I died surrounded by Hell Knights. The number of Hell Knights who surrounded me at the time was five? That was about it. furthermore…….’
The battlefield that came into view during the last fierce battle.
No, the territory has become a battlefield..
Hell knights were rampaging everywhere..
The White Lancers were helpless..
The dragon Solitas and Yongyongi were struggling..
Even Javiel was surrounded by dozens of Hell Knights and was struggling hard..
The number of Hell Knights that briefly came into view seemed to have been at least 200..
‘At least 200 bodies. Probably much more than that actually..’
However, 2 billion liters of holy water?
Did my future self not utilize it properly?.
‘no. It may have ended up like that even though I used it. Probably so. Then, the method I am thinking of now for spraying holy water is not sufficient. I need to rework my plan. The most certain information is that the invasion is 90 days away. So, in the meantime, we are looking for a new spraying method. Create more reinforcements. It may be a tight time, but you can change that ending. No, I'm going to change it. need to change.’
I calculated hard and picked up the glass of water again..
I drank two more drinks in a row..
But my hands kept shaking.
I couldn't hold a glass of water properly..
Before I knew it, the corner of my eye twitched too..
“Ah Mr. Why are you like this?.”
weird.
I'm not even a child.
It was just a dream.
But why do I still keep breaking out in a cold sweat?.
Is my whole body shaking like this because my heart can't calm down?.
Why on earth do I.
“I don't want to die…….”
Without even knowing.
Tears came out.
I cried silently.
I was scared.
I was afraid.
I don't even want to die.
I hated it when other people got caught up in it because of me..
The burden of having to take responsibility for that was so scary..
That's why.
Lloyd cried silently for a long time..
I sobbed silently in my private bedroom..
That's why I didn't know at all.
Outside the tightly closed bedroom door.
Javiel stood silently in that hallway all night..
Because I couldn't open the door.
I was making up my mind alone.
