The Greatest Architect

“My name is Arosh. Thirty-five generations descended from the great Orc Akash, if you ask me! ”

“Thirty-five generations? ”

“Yes, cough. ”

“Is that 30 plus 40 plus 5? ”

“No. Forty minus thirty plus five. ”

“You're a 15th generation descendant? ”

“You're a genius, calculating it in seconds! ”

“ ……. ”

Tsk.

Lloyd's dirty.) I looked at Arosh, an orc who opened his eyes in his bedroom with emotion.

And I thought,

Have I picked up an idiot without a frontal lobe?

‘Or maybe this Orc has only 15 brain wrinkles. ’

Suddenly, I remembered what happened today.

You explored the anthill with Xaviel.

It was the last step of the safety check over 16 days.

At last, I reached the deepest, lowest level of the anthill warehouse.

I found this Orc there.

Surprisingly, he was alive.

“It's been a long time since I woke up. The paralyzed ant was so annoying, it made me sick. ”

“Paralyzed?”

“Yes, cough. ”

“I see. Paralyzed. ”

I thought I knew.

An Orc that was housed in a warehouse.

Then it was for that purpose. I didn't have to say it.

‘The ants must have stockpiled it for storage. By using paralytic poison. ’

The best way to keep food fresh is not to kill it.

Living meat doesn't rot or rot.

Arosh grins with a big fang.

“If you speak for me, it's Arosh of the Charge. You can't die easily without finishing your adult ceremony. ”

“Adult Ceremony?”

“Yes, cough. ”

“Are you still Mija? ”

“What is Mija, cuckoo. ”

“A minor... No, I'm not an adult yet. ”

“At the end of the Maturity Ceremony, I am recognized as a Warrior Orc. That's why they raided the Wild Ants' territory. ”

“Is catching a beast an adult of your tribe? ”

“Yes, cough. ”

Alosh's words continue.

“It is a custom passed down through the great generations of our forefathers. So since my grandfather's grandfather's son's father had a home in the Eastern Wilderness, it was profitable. ”

“…… Just tell me you're a great grandfather. ”

“Anyway, I caught a lot of beast ants. I hit, cut, and killed. Ten kills, ten kills. And then I got so excited, cough. ”

“So?”

“I wanted to catch the queen and be recognized as the best warrior. Went into the anthill, boom. ”

“Into the anthill? By yourself? ”

“Of course. A warrior is not afraid to be alone. ”

“You're crazy.”

It seemed like I knew how this Orc had become a food staple for ants.

Without control of excitement, he would have been surrounded and exhausted by a violent charge.

He would have been paralyzed eventually.

Lloyd laughs in disgust.

‘Lucky you. Even this Orc who survived the situation.I gathered all this Orc. ’

Suddenly, I remembered the commotion that happened here earlier.

As soon as I found out this guy was alive in the anthill, I carried him back.

Of course, there was a commotion in the mansion.

The maids who had seen Orcs for the first time were filled with fear.

The baron who came in his pajamas after hearing the news said that his face was white.

Lloyd, what are you doing? ’

‘Inheriting the throne... No, I brought Orcs, as you can see. ’

‘So why Orcs? ’

‘I have something in mind. First of all, have a drink of cold water. ’

Lloyd rather calmed down.

The baron was relieved with a calm attitude.

I found it while I was exploring the anthill. If you spare this Orc, there will be great gains in the territory. ’

"Gain"?

‘I heard that Orcs are brave warriors and have a strong personality that distinguishes between grace and vengeance. ’

It was true.

It was mentioned several times in the article in the Blood of Novels.

‘I'm familiar with that fact, but are you okay with that? ’

"That's all right. Javiel will take him down if he wakes up and stirs up a riot." ’

I relieved the baron so little.

Arosch lies on his bed.

I've summoned a physician from the Territory.

Fortunately, the doctor recognized Arosh's symptoms at a glance.

‘Hmm, this…… seems to have been poisoned by a poison used to hunt and store wild ants' fingernails. Then you can take this medicine. ’

"This?"

‘This powder is obtained by drying and grinding the leaves of Tanaria. It had an excellent effect on paralysis. ’

I took medication from the doctor.

The doctor's advice is to treat the fever (?) was awesome.

Arosh opened his eyes in less than 10 minutes after taking the medicine.

“Thanks anyway. If you hadn't taken me out of there, I would have been Arosh, the ant food. ”

“Right? Thank you, right? ”

“Yes, you are my savior, my savior. ”

“Then I must repay the savior. Right?"

“Yes, cough! ”

“All you have to do is tell me what you want in return, then? ”

I knew it, I knew it.

Lloyd's voice fades.

Arosh nods more vigorously.

“Of course. Say something, mortal! ”

“I need 120 Orc men to work in the mines. ”

It was like I was just waiting for the moment to say it.

Lloyd speaks as if stabbing, without spinning.

In fact, this is why I saved Arosh.

Orcs are strong.

Stronger and more powerful.

Brave and fearless, he jumps into danger without hesitation.

I could tell you're the most talented species I've ever had to deal with Dwarves for a tough mining job.

‘That's why I saved you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all the way out here to take care of her. ’

That's how I saved you.

I was gracious.

I said what I wanted.

But Arosh's color was strange.

I've been avoiding this eye for some time now.

“ …… ”

“Hey?”

“ ……. ”

“Tell me if you want anything. ”

Lloyd tilts his head, his head tilting.

Arosh rolls his sleepy eyes sideways.

“Hey, mister? ”

“ ……. ”

“Orc, can you look at my eyes? ”

“Cough, that would be... difficult, cough. ”

“Hard what? ”

“Thank you, Human, for saving me, Arosh. I, Arosh, will do anything to repay you. But the favor you just asked, Human, is a little different. ”

“Something else. How different.”

“You are not a warrior, Cough. ”

“So?”

“A man who is not a warrior cannot feed on an Orc man. You don't deserve it. ”

Arosh's downcast face reminds me of a strange look.

He said with a sincere regret.

“I'm sorry, human. I don't think I can do that request, bud. ”

I meant it.

That guy, Lloyd.

Saved myself from the land of the dead.

A savior who almost ended up being eaten by ants in a dark anthill.

I wanted to repay this favor somehow.

I wanted to listen to every request that man made.

To solve grace and vengeance, you don't save your life.

That was the pride and honor of Orc warriors living in the wilderness.

I was sorry to hear that.

It was because Lloyd pulled out a request that he could not listen to even if he wanted to.

“So, because I don't qualify as a warrior, you can't bring Orc men into the workforce? ”

“Yes, cough. ”

“What do I have to do to qualify? ”

“We should have an adult ceremony. In the same way we do. And you must be acknowledged by the chieftain, Cough. ”

“Really?"

I smiled at Lloyd's mouth.

He raises his chin and rebels.

“Then I think I deserve it. ”

“What, cooked? ”

“That's right. You said we could have an adult dinner. But they say your adult ceremony is about catching a beast ant. ”

“Yes, cough. ”

“Would you like to see the rejection site? ”

Lloyd raises one hand.

I raised my thumb and pointed to one side of the bedroom.

Arosh's gaze shifts with his fingers.

Over Lloyd's shoulder.

Along the bedroom wall.

I touched something on the wall.

“It's the queen's head. It's a trophy I picked up this time. How about it? ”

“Pay……? ”

Arosh's mouth widens.

It really was the queen's head.

It wasn't fake or fake.

He was the son of a tribe who spent his life fighting beast ants.

There's no way he couldn't recognize the beast ant's head or the queen!

“How do you do that, bud? ”

“Somehow, I caught him and walked. ”

Lloyd grins.

Half were right, half were lies.

You were right to catch the queen by exploding methane gas.

But it wasn't a hand-to-hand fight.

Lloyd put a metal plate on his face and smeared it on his lips.

“But you know what? There was something a little more interesting about catching that queen. Do you know what it is?”

“Well, what was it, cuckoo? ”

“Somehow the queen is losing her strength. ”

Lloyd's voice fades.

“You were tired like you were fighting someone else? But a sword like this was found nearby. Xaviel?”

Lloyd looks back.

Xaviel, standing still behind him, raises his sword.

It was an Orc steel sword I found while researching the anthill.

Arosch's eyes widen as he looks at it.

“Cough? That's my sword, Cough? ”

“Right? I knew it. ”

Lloyd smiled meaningfully.

“Now I know. Who do you think the queen was tired of fighting? ”

“Are you kidding me, Cuckoo? ”

“That's right. That's right. Smart.”

Lloyd smiles brighter.

Of course it was a red lie.

Arosh's Iron Sword was found in a place that had nothing to do with the queen ant.

But that was not important.

‘The really important thing is to believe that they are. ’

That's how we close the deal.

That was the only thing that mattered to Lloyd.

Of course, Javier's eyes were a little irritated by Javier's ‘this fraud’ who flew into the back of his head in real time.

But it didn't matter.

“Come to think of it, didn't you have a bigger ant when you were fighting in the anthill? ”

“Phew... Phew. ”

“You've been so busy fighting, haven't you? ”

“Yes, cough. ”

“But there was. There's evidence here, right? ”

You received an iron sword from Xaviel.

I gave it to Arosh.

“Here, your iron sword proves it. The queen is tired of you. ”

“So what do you say, human? ”

“I don't think so. I'm not the only one who caught the queen. ”

“Are you kidding me? ”

“That's right. As a result, we caught it together. The queen, you and I. That's us. ”

“ ……. ”

“Collaboration. Co-Production. Co-Popyright. What a beautiful horse. Isn't that right?”

“Then... Cough. ”

“Let's take it all together. ”

Lloyd speaks as if stabbed with an awl.

“You, technically, failed the adult ceremony. I didn't make it back to the precinct. If we go back now, we'll be treated as losers. You know?”

“Cuckoo?”

“But here, imagine taking this queen's head with you. What do you think?”

“ ……. ”

“Amazing, isn't it? ”

Gulp.

Arosh's collar trembles.

It was awesome to imagine.

There have been many warriors at the age of majesty, but no Orc has ever caught a queen.

But you're making that achievement yourself.

Appendix You will receive the hot gaze of every Orc virgin.

Not only that, but all Orc Warriors will be honored.

Lloyd's voice gently scratches the itchy side of the young Orc.

“Think about it. You got nothing to lose? Besides, it's not a scam. Strictly speaking, I wouldn't have caught the queen if it wasn't for you. Isn't that right?”

“Well, then... Cough. ”

“That's right. Shoulders back. You are one sick Orc. ”

“Cough!”

“Good. Looks good. Then can you do me a favor? ”

“Please, make a profit? ”

“Together we took the queen down. So take me to your quarters. So I can be qualified by the chief. So if I'm qualified to be a warrior, I can send 120 Orc men as workers to our territory. ”

“Then I... Cough... ”

“Be the best adult warrior ever. You can repay me for that. Everyone will be happy. What do you think?”

“ ……. ”

Arosch looks at Lloyd.

A human smiling in this direction.

Thank you for saving yourself from death.

Such a silver woman was making really good eyes.

He even offered me a generous offer.

Arosh fixed his mind.

“Yes, Human! I, Arosh, am an Orc warrior who does not take kindness lightly. I will do everything in my power to help you become a warrior, slurp! ”

A young and innocent Orc Warrior reaches out with a cauldron like hand.

Lloyd shakes hands forcefully.

Of course, Arush had no idea.

At this moment, Xaviel is giving himself the look of grief.

Lloyd is smiling blatantly at the impostor who caught the big breath.

Thus, Lloyd's big picture was being drawn to put the best miners into the newly completed coal mine for free.
