History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 388
388fury. A weapon called faith (3)
two hours ago.
The time when Lloyd was talking to Bibungi at Lake Capua on the hillside of the Eastern Mountains..
In the territory below the mountain range, the left angel Raphael was radiating his unique friendliness to the residents of the territory..
All the way! Joowoouk!
“great. one more.”
Left Angel Raphael's hands moved busily..
He lifted the bucket full of cow milk and moved it to the side..
I picked up the empty bucket and handed it to the shepherd..
The shepherd's hands were also busy..
All the while, the cow's milk filled the bucket with a cloud of steam..
A happy smile appeared on the shepherd's face..
“Hehehe. You don’t have to help me like this. I don't know if I'm just causing trouble to the left angel for no reason..”
“What are you saying? Other than helping, I help because I can. Hey, didn't you hurt your back last month?.”
Raphael, the left angel, smiled kindly..
his words continued.
“It would be difficult to lift a heavy bucket with an injured back. You'll get hurt again, and you'll develop chronic back problems. It's easy for an injured area to get hurt again..”
“Oh my, it's people like me who always get hurt and live like that..”
“No, it's not the same. Don't humble yourself like that and cherish me..”
“Hehehe. yes. I understand, Left Angel. I'm so thankful for this…….”
“I'm just trying to treat you to a meal.?”
“Good. This time, the canned potatoes are thick and delicious..”
“Potatoes. Good.”
Raphael's smile became even warmer..
Joy was also evident in the hands of the shepherd milking the cow..
moderately cool wind.
moderately warm sunlight.
Even the clouds walking between them.
It was a perfectly quiet and beautiful day..
Raphael thought.
‘The human world is fun because it's not always perfect..’
Because it’s not that good.
Sometimes there are dark clouds and showers pouring down.
Even then, the warm sunlight shone down..
It was different from the heavenly world where everything was always perfectly beautiful..
So, paradoxically, the perfect sunlight on a day like this felt even more beautiful..
‘Potatoes, too. It's bumpy. Some taste off. That it wasn't stored properly. Like sprouts. But that's why sometimes, when you taste a perfect potato, you're amazed..’
Carrying buckets full of cow milk.
Returning together to the shepherd's house.
Raphael likes this place a little better..
But that was then..
“By the way.”
A shepherd's voice penetrates my thoughts.
When I turned my head, I saw that the shepherd walking alongside me was also looking this way..
“You might think it's strange to ask this, but do you know any news about Master Lloyd??”
“News from Lloyd Frontera.?”
“Yes, Mr. Left Angel..”
“Hmm, that's strange. Everyone knows that he returned to the territory not long ago, and you probably know it well..”
“You know that. But what can I say? There's something a little strange about it..”
“What a strange thing?”
the left angel asked.
The shepherd wrinkled his nose as if embarrassed..
“Young Ji-min said that he truly cares and loves everyone..”
“aha. I am talking about what he has known as the Jewel of Truth. That's right?”
“yes, that's right.”
“It was very surprising?”
“That's it, hehe. yes.”
The shepherd laughed as if he was embarrassed..
“I knew well that Master Lloyd cared for Youngji. This is because he is a person who hates losing money. Still, I was a little, no, very surprised that people like me truly care and love people..”
“Why are you surprised??”
“There is no need to truly care and love..”
As if it was obvious.
the shepherd said.
“People like us just work hard, pay taxes, and when war breaks out, we get dragged into the battlefield. And then he dies. Isn't that the end? Those in high positions are just a little better than livestock, no, sometimes they are worse than livestock, like us. It's good to have it. The more the better. If you don't have it, it's a shame, so bring it from somewhere else to fill it. A being that is treated just like a number..”
“But Lloyd Frontera was different.?”
“yes. The lord and Master Lloyd were different. In particular, Master Lloyd used to be very temperamental... … But at some point, things changed drastically. Because they treated us humanely. Even when everyone is in danger, come forward and protect us. Still, wow. He just takes care of the things below him meticulously, and he puts so much effort into it so that he can get something out of us later, but at least to this extent, we were lucky enough to have met a good superior, that's all I thought..”
“haha. I didn't know that he truly cared for and loved everyone..”
“yes. I didn't know you cared for us that much..”
“So, it was good.?”
“no.”
The shepherd shook his head resolutely..
He said while looking at the left angel with meaningful eyes..
“I'm rather worried.”
“I'm worried?”
“I feel like you keep pushing yourself too hard..”
“Lloyd Frontera.?”
“yes. I saw it earlier too.”
“I can't believe I saw it?”
“You are riding Sir Coming and rushing up to the Eastern Mountains alone..”
The shepherd's gaze was directed towards the mountains to the east..
“The expression on his face was not that of someone just going out for a walk or a drink. So, he must be dealing with something we don't know about. Just like you did every time, alone. So I am worried and dissatisfied. I'm also curious. Do you know what kind of work Lloyd is handling??”
“Uh, that's…….”
The left angel hesitated to answer..
And then I remembered.
That I am a being who cannot lie.
No, you can do it, but even if you try, it will quickly become apparent..
“……I know.”
Even if you lie that you don't know, the flame ring behind your back will go out immediately..
If you do this, the shepherd will easily know that your answer is a lie..
The left angel reluctantly nodded..
The shepherd’s eyes widened slightly..
“Ah, as expected. Then, it seems Master Lloyd is really preparing for something else without our knowledge. Is it really so??”
“Umm, I see..”
The left angel was deeply moved..
I was really bitten by this shepherd..
They use a speaking style that makes you answer by choosing between yes and no, as if asking for everything and then confirming it at the end..
If that's the case, you can't make excuses or answer with lies, right?.
In the end, he remembered a bitter smile..
“I won't go into detail. That would have to be Lloyd Frontera's responsibility. So to put it briefly, the beings of hell are planning to invade this place..”
“……yes?”
The shepherd's steps stand tall.
The other shepherd brothers who were walking together also stopped, with their ears pricked in this direction..
I looked back in disbelief..
I looked at the flame ring here as if checking..
Of course, the flame ring is still active.
The left angel’s bitter smile also deepened..
“Lloyd Frontera is trying to stop the invasion and protect everyone. He has made many preparations, and the first thing he has done is to evacuate all of the residents here, including you..”
“Us… … Are you ready to evacuate??”
“exactly.”
it was true.
Earlier, I happened to see it while passing by..
That was Lloyd and the dragon Solitas talking..
Of course, I could also faintly hear what they were talking about..
“Lloyd Frontera is almost ready to evacuate you to safety. He seemed very relieved by that fact. He must have been very worried about you..”
“…….”
The shepherd had no answer..
The same was true for the rest of the shepherd brothers..
I hope so for a while.
The shepherd who asked the question turned to his brothers with a serious face and said,.
“I guess this isn't the time for us to sit still..”
“I agree, brother..”
“I think the same thing..”
“I think so.”
The shepherd brothers all nodded with serious faces..
I even put down the cow milk bucket that I had been working so hard to carry..
Seeing that, the left angel felt anxious..
‘Did I say this for no reason?.’
I should have let Lloyd reveal it..
I couldn't lie so I just answered.
Could it be that it becomes a source of trouble for Lloyd?.
I started to worry.
It was even more so when I saw the shepherd brothers suddenly becoming more serious..
The left angel thought it was necessary to resolve the situation at least a little..
“Look, I think everyone has a bit of a misunderstanding. As I just told you, Lloyd Frontera was the first to prepare for your evacuation. So everyone, don't be too agitated. Instead of acting hastily, it's better to follow Lloyd's evacuation plan.…….”
“I am not shaken, Mr. Left Angel..”
“Mmm?”
“I have no intention of acting hastily..”
“Yes, that's right?”
“yes.”
The shepherd brothers nodded as if to express their agreement..
The first shepherd said.
“Rather, I feel angry. Master Lloyd. Also, I thought you were suffering alone without us knowing. But you made preparations to evacuate us first. It's not like we're a burden. Isn't it??”
“Uh, that's…….”
“I'm angry at Master Lloyd. No, if something like that happens, what's the point of being honest about it and asking for help? So you thought we would run away first? I'm disappointed that you see us like that. Isn't that right, everyone??”
The first shepherd looked back at the rest..
The shepherd brothers responded as if they had been waiting..
“I agree, brother. Master Lloyd, it's nice that you worry about us and take care of us, but this is a bit too much..”
“That's right. I guess you thought that if you told us that, we would turn a blind eye to Master Lloyd's suffering..”
“I’m a bit sad too. If you're having a hard time, you can just ask for help. Isn't that right??”
“The youngest is right. I guess this doesn't just happen..”
The eldest shepherd said to the youngest.
“I'm the youngest. You run the fastest among us, so quickly go down to the village and tell the truth..”
“All you have to do is tell everyone everything.?”
“of course. Everyone probably feels the same way as us..”
“Yes, then I will go.!”
There was no way for the left angel to stop him..
The youngest shepherd ran to the village at the foot of the mountain..
The youngest son who arrived in the village was busy shouting out something..
The village people whispered.
Some people ran to the neighboring village.
Like a horse without feet runs a thousand miles.
Through people's mouths and mouths.
The news spread throughout the territory..
Most of the residents who heard the news had a similar reaction to the shepherd brothers..
Master Lloyd, I'm disappointed that I didn't see it that way..
Did you think of us as that?.
Do you think we have no attachment to the territory?.
Everyone gathered in groups of twos and threes, complaining..
Early in the morning, I put down my hands while collecting eggs laid by a hen..
While picking out weeds in the field, I shake off the dirt with my hands..
Putting down the ax that was used to chop wood.
I took off my blacksmith apron and.
As the crowd of residents gathered at the manor house, Lloyd came down from the eastern mountains..
“……omg.”
Lloyd opened his mouth wide..
He had just been surveying the topography of the eastern mountain range..
In the meantime, I saw a message that appeared out of nowhere and came down right away..
But I quickly flew over on Komingi.?
The front of the manor house is literally crowded..
It was full of residents gathered.
It looked like a rebellion had occurred..
“Master Lloyd! Is it true that the legions of hell are attacking?!”
“But why didn't you tell me that?!”
“If you knew that, did you think we would run away?!”
“I'm disappointed, Lloyd.!”
“Us too! Should I help Master Lloyd?!”
“Why do you always suffer alone and make people feel uncomfortable?!”
“We are not a burden!”
Everyone loudly complained about the late arrival..
With clenched fists.
With a vein in my neck.
We can do it too.
It can be of any help.
So don't hide it, let's do it together.
I was shouting until I was hoarse in this direction..
“……her.”
It was absurd..
It was so unexpected..
Lloyd tried to suppress his absurdity and looked away..
Crowds gathered in front of the manor house.
I saw a left angel standing awkwardly on one side..
‘Is that what you said??’
I sent a glance.
‘I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this.’
The left angel responded with a shy glance..
Lloyd was able to properly understand the situation..
‘So, this is because the left angel couldn't lie, so it became known to the residents. Hell's Invasion.’
But surprisingly, the reaction wasn't bad..
No, there was a completely unexpected reaction..
‘I was wondering how to let people know that the legions of Hell were invading. Actually, he thought everyone would panic as soon as they found out..’
Everyone is immersed in fear and anxiety.
There is turmoil and confusion.
Some people say they can't stay here.
I can't even trust the evacuation plan..
If this happens, I will run away in advance..
I thought there would be quite a few people leaving like that..
In the meantime, I thought that fear would spread and more people would turn their backs on the territory..
‘But what on earth is this?.’
Lloyd looked at the gathered crowd..
Farmers, shepherds, women, woodcutter, blacksmith, tavern owner, and even the mansion's maids..
They were gathered together tightly, surrounding the manor house, and pouring out protests in this direction, as if they were preparing for some kind of siege..
But the content of the protest was so absurd..
‘If something is difficult, let's do it together? Don't think of them as sacks of barley.?’
So, let's get through this together.
Even if it's hard, let's be together.
Please join us too.
Everyone was shouting with one voice.
‘No, what is this? Overcoming national crises is not my hobby. What, are they Korean? huh?’
It was such a ridiculous situation..
To be honest, I didn't really understand..
‘No, there is no particular benefit to them by doing this. Why on earth are they like that??’
I also had that question..
Of course I knew why.
‘Achievements accumulated so far. And the praise combo effect. Well, I guess it's something like that..’
Maybe that's why.
The elements that have been cultivated so far are.
This is probably due to the positive synergy effect..
Isn’t that why he’s showing behavior that I don’t readily understand?.
‘Well, anyway, it's nice to see you from my perspective..’
Lloyd chuckled..
Actually, I was worried.
I'm afraid everyone will run away.
I'm afraid they won't cooperate.
I'm afraid there will be a setback at work..
All my concerns were completely washed away..
‘If you give it to me like this, it’s good for me.’
Residents asking for help in suffering together.
Lloyd's eyes are full as he looks at them..
The plan of rewarding overtime and all-night work has blossomed like a premonition of victory..
