The Greatest Architect

Holsie Schillo and Fat Meatloaf.

The two loan sharks fled the burinake.

Of course, they didn't forget to listen to Lloyd's demands before escaping.

I had no choice.

An Orc Arosh snorts.

I stared at two private loan sharks with the same furious gorilla eyes.

As soon as the word 'enemies of the Baron Frontera' came out of Lloyd's mouth, he was ready to lift up the table and cut off the heads of the two bondsmen.

Perhaps not many humans can leave such angry Orcs by their side.

The same was true of both private loan sharks.

‘At this rate, you might actually die. ’

Sweat glands were activated on the backside of Shylo and Meatloaf.

It was not just a vague fear or anxiety.

They knew.

Orc Warriors have no human laws whatsoever.

‘If we're wrong, we could just kill us here and run off into the wilderness. ’

I'm literally being screamed at by angry Orcs.

The two private loan sharks were not allowed to die.

As soon as they finished the calculation, they put a sales smile on the price.

“Huh? When did we say we wouldn't listen to the young master? Of course I do. Aye, I do. ”

Meatloaf said in a hurry.

Shiloh was also succeeded by the next horse.

“Of course it is. We're kind of in a relationship. Do you have a memorandum? I could write one right now. ”

“Is that so? Oops. You should be thankful. ”

He certainly had a clever smile on Lloyd's mouth.

As such, Lloyd handed out his memorandum to two private loan shareholders.

The contents of the memorandum were only two things.

Allow the baron to repay some of his debts in the future.

Reduce the amount of interest based on the amount of debt remaining.

‘ ……. ’

The two lenders grabbed the bitter chest and agreed to a memorandum.

Lloyd was pressured to do something about it, so he had to take a stamp, not just a signature.

“Then... we're done! ”

Immediately after the interruption, Shiloh and Meatloaf marched like poop dogs.

Negotiate with them.).

His goal was to be achieved.

‘Perfect. I got the best I could get out of the situation. ’

Threats involving Orc Arosh were very efficient.

Orc Warriors are blind.

Not bound by human law.

Fists that were closer to the law were still materialized.

Two private loan sharks who enjoy exploiting the law and system.

It was their perfect counter pick.

‘Of course, if I feel like it, I want to blackmail them and pretend that I don't owe them anything. ’

I couldn't do that.

It was impossible in the first place.

‘Cause that's illegal. Even private loans are legally owed. ’

What if we nullify that debt by blackmailing it?

Both private loan shareholders will report it.

Conviction would be a financial crime, roughly through blackmail.

In other words, the baron will be in great legal trouble.

‘It's hard to do that. ’

On the other hand, what are the two consensus from the previous memorandum?

It was the maximum possible thing within the boundaries of the law.

That was to extract the most appropriate benefit for the situation.

‘Let's settle for now. If you try to eat too much, pretend to eat too much. One step at a time. Then you'll see the way. ’

It was still a debt of considerable value.

However, if you sweat hard, you will be able to clear all of them one day.

With that in mind, Lloyd looks back at the baron and Arosh.

“Now that our lands and the Steel Sands have joined hands like this, let's all take selfies as a commemoration…… or should we leave a commemoration?" ”

“That would be great. ”

The baron nods with a happy face.

Arosh tilts his head toward the monument.

Lloyd told the executive officer of the mansion to bring a painter.

Baron Frontera in the countryside in the eastern corner of the Kingdom.

And beyond the Eastern Mountains, the Steel Sand Tribe.

It was a historic moment when two games of power were officially reborn as bloodshed.

♣

It was the next day.

Lloyd starts to make a busy move before easing the fatigue of his journey across the mountains.

‘I don't have time for bruises. ’

Time is not on your side.

While you're at it, the date is still ticking.

Every time the date flows, the interest payment date is also approaching.

So I couldn't waste my time.

I had to work harder.

Lloyd ordered what to do.

‘First, I'd like to dispose of the treasure pile I received from the Orc tribe as payment for the Stone Glacier construction. ’

Used as an exercise tool for a long time (?) The gold was treasured.

Thanks to you, the damage was quite severe.

But what if we dispose of it all at once?

It will be quite a necklace.

Given the damage it causes to be used as a workout device for a long time?

Perhaps 20% of the debt could be repaid.

It wasn't just that.

The crevices of the steel spill out, and the iron rebar was piled up well.

In addition to the amount reserved for the construction to be done later, it was also reserved for sale.

‘If we dispose of all that in the treasure, we might be able to clear about 30 percent of the principal. But there's no way to sell them now. ’

No matter how precious or expensive something is, if no one can buy it, it's a horse-drop cake.

But what about the baron of Frontera?

Just ordinary farmers, woodcutters, and occasional border merchants.

I couldn't find anyone to buy those treasures and steel or pay the price for them.

‘But we can't just hand them over to private loan sharks for life. If you do that, you'll hit the price. We have to change it to Doubloons. ’

Cash in on the private loan sharks.

That principle made Lloyd think he'd sooner or later have to go to the big city to get rid of that treasure and iron and turn it into gold coins.

Of course, it was forbidden to go without any preparation.

What if we go a long way with so many supplies, and we're left with nothing?

What if I can't find a place to sell?

That is a waste of time and effort.

It's literally just a bunch of wasted steps.

So Lloyd went to the baron.

You asked for a hydrogen gate about the merchant to dispose of the goods obtained this time.

“If that's the case, of course I'll have to deal with it first. Very well. I'll question the merchant. If we can get ahold of him, we can get our stuff to Cremo City right away. ”

The city of Cremo was a central trading town in the province of Cremona, including the Baron of Frontera.

‘Phew, first of all, we have to wait for the disposal to be ready. Well, let's do something else in the meantime. ’

Days of remaining priorities.

It was a coal mine.

‘I've brought Orc Miners for that. ’

Lloyd raises his head.

A void in front of the mine entrance.

There are 120 fallen Orc miners.

Lloyd talks to them.

“Well, I'm sure you've heard about what you're going to do today. ”

“I hear you, cuckoo! ”

“Dig, dig, dig! ”

“Boom, boom, boom! ”

Orc Miners have a huge fist.

Lloyd smiles bitterly.

“Yes, that's right. I'm going to go into this tunnel here, and I'm going to dig up the coal, and I'm going to break it up, and I'm going to break it down. ”

“Smashing is fun, cough! ”

“I'm excited, I'm excited! ”

Orc Miners are even more excited.

You raised a shovel with a pickaxe that was given to you for your work.

I felt like I could send a male to the battlefield right away.

Maybe that's why.

Following Lloyd's remarks, the Orc warriors open their eyes wide as if it were a royal drop.

“But not everyone in this room will be working together. There's an order to things. ”

“What, cooked? ”

“What are you talking about, cuckoo? ‘

I wondered.

I tilted my head.

Lloyd continued.

“It's all about efficiency and safety. Now, from there to there. And from here to there. Okay, great. Let's split Joe up. ”

Lloyd commands the Orc Miners with his bare hands.

After a little commotion, 120 Orc miners came into four groups of 30.

“Well done. Let's name each group to make it easier to distinguish. ”

“Boobs, koo-koo! ”

“Back, back, back! ”

“Shoulders, shrug! ”

“Lower body, lower body! ”

Orc Miners shouted loudly.

So the names of the four pairs were quickly assigned.

Lloyd said:

“Yes, well done. We will now share the work schedule in pairs. ”

Dividing Orc Miners into groups.

That was Lloyd's plan.

‘Twice a day, two days a week. and every other day.’

You will work for a total of 6 days.

On the seventh day?

‘Make everyone rest. Relaxation is important.'

And the next six days we exchange day and night.

Joe, who had previously worked by day, worked by night, and Joe, who had been sent by night, worked by day.

A commotion arose among the Orc miners as Lloyd's plans were announced.

“Then my Joe will be the first to go, cuckoo! ”

“We're going to be burning coal all day long! ”

“Exercise! Exercise, cough! ”

...... Orc miners were considered to be an exercise in mining.

Thanks to this, Lloyd had to sweat a lot to keep them quiet.

I could convince everyone that planning exercises and relaxations were beneficial for muscle growth.

In addition, Lloyd managed workers in many ways.

‘Because mining is hard and dangerous. ’

They sent five engineering soldiers to each group.

I made them security agents.

In addition, an additional vent was installed in the shaft.

He also gave me a mask to keep the dust out.

Any remaining work was prohibited.

There was also a bathing facility at the entrance of the mine.

The Orc miners also provided a place to rest comfortably.

‘From there to the warehouse. ’

Expanded the storage in the baron's mansion.

It was a storage facility for mining coal.

It took me a whole month just to get a proper mining system.

Meanwhile, Orc Miners are their own (?).

They perfectly lived up to Lloyd's expectations.

There really was no best miner.

I thought of it as a workout.

I never got tired.

I was motivated.

You pull a pickaxe with your magical power.

You pushed the cart with enormous weight.

Thanks to this, coal mining has an explosive elasticity.

A cart full of coal was loaded every hour.

The heavy cart quickly moved to the paved road.

The baron's mansion warehouse is filled with charcoal.

Every time, a smile was born on Lloyd's lips.

‘Very good. Very good. ’

Counterpoint is piling up.

When winter came, it turned into egg whipping money.

In that thought, a joyful smile flowed out.

There was something else there that made Lloyd very happy.

Ding-dong.

[There is a growing hatred about you throughout the territory.]

[You have shown courage and prowess in taking risks to rescue the soldiers abducted by the Black Wizard earlier.]

[The rescued engineers were praising you for your family, relatives and acquaintances all month long.]

[All residents of the Frontera territory have now come to your attention.]

[All the colonists praise your noble courage.]

[A bonus for these social achievements gives you a large amount of special RP.]

[300 RP obtained.]

[RP you currently have: 911]

‘Good.'

It was another accomplishment I had expected since returning to my inner land.

It's finally returned to a full abortion of 300 RP.

‘RP is an asset to keep. ’

It was an intangible asset and weapon that could only be used by itself.

Of course, even in the consecutive castles, Lloyd never let his mind go.

I still have a long way to go.

A long way can't just be a long way off.

There must be small or thick obstacles everywhere.

Obstacles that could have been predicted had to be removed early or prepared.

“The wondrous food of Orc miners, for example, is one of those potential problems. ”

“Food?”

That evening.

Xaviel mutters in Lloyd's words.

The Silver Hair Knight looks up at his escort, Young Master.

Then his master, Lloyd, smiles blankly, sitting on his bedroom desk.

“Literally. He ate it like crazy. ”

It was true.

The Orcs' food was enormous.

If he debuted as a food BJ in Korea, great success was guaranteed.

“Obviously. He's huge, isn't he? Plus, he's all muscles. I spend half the day working in the mines. ”

“Well, I was a little surprised when I saw them eating. ”

“Right? Now there's food stockpiled in the territory. It'll be chaotic by next year. ”

He was also true.

Now I can feed them with my rations.

But after a year or two, we almost ran out of food.

“Then you'll have to pay a lot of money to buy grain from your neighbor's territory. As long as we don't do anything about it. ”

“Why does that sound like you've got a plan?" ”

“Really?"

“Yes.”

“Ding, ding.”

Lloyd smiles gladly.

“Xaviel, I've been hanging out with my brother for a while. You're getting smarter.”

“You used to be smart. ”

“Oh, you did? ”

“Yes, and I am."

Xaviel's expression stands still.

“It's not Lloyd's brother. ”

“Oh, is that it? ”

“Yes.”

“Don't you sometimes feel the urge to call me 'brother' just blooms out of the rubble? ”

“Never, never, ever, I swear, Hansako, I don't want to. ”

“You don't like it that much? ”

“Yes.”

“Hmm, I was going to tell you the wonderful secrets of this body if you just called me brother once. ”

“ ……. ”

“Do you know what the secret is? ”

“No, never. ”

“Tsk, you arrogant bastard. ”

“Thank you. I'm just a little curious as to what you might have in mind. ”

“How to deal with the future of Orc Foot food crisis? ”

“Yes.”

Xaviel nods.

That young master you're carrying.

I was sometimes confused by what I saw.

This was the exact moment.

‘I don't know what it is. ’

He often said nothing but nonsense.

I thought it would be small.

Some were clever and some were evil.

To be honest, it was a little grumpy and awkward.

Sometimes, however, it was imperceptible, wondrous, and mysterious.

For example, this was a moment like this, with a big smile and a plan that he had never dared to imagine.

“It's simple. We'll turn an abandoned swamp south of the territory into farmable land. Well, the trick is to mix Vertical Drain (VD) techniques. ”

“ ……. ”

“What do you think?”

Lloyd smiling this way.

Somehow, Xaviel felt overwhelmed.
