The Greatest Architect

It's past the full moon.

Lloyd's group makes a smooth journey.

It was a cold weather for the new year, but it didn't rain.

Thanks to this, the group's pace is light.

Lloyd and the barons, Xaviel and Lord Bavaria, and the soldiers who came to Cremo with them. I was able to enjoy a peaceful and quiet journey without incident.

At the end of the 15-day journey, the group returns to the Baron Frontera.

At the same time, Lloyd's vacation was over.

I'm home. I have to work. ’

Welcome back to the land and the warmth?

Lloyd didn't have that.

I had a lot of work to do.

There was just so much work to be done.

‘We have to finish the Onstone Supply. We should check to see if the water conduits are frozen in the winter cold. Besides, the people who have been stockpiling firewood since early winter are going to run out, so we should prepare to sell some grenades. ’

That's how you make money.

You must earn money to repay your family's debt.

Only when I pay off my debt can I feel comfortable sticking straws in this land.

That way, you can spend the rest of your life sucking on honey in a reasonably peaceful and comfortable place.

Such raw (?) in order to realize their ambitions.

As soon as Lloyd unmasked himself, he called the Baron Administrator.

“You called, Lloyd. ”

“Yes, I did. Do me a favor. ”

“What kind of favor are you asking? ”

“Shaylo and Meatloaf, are you in contact? ”

Shiloh and meatloaf.

Horizontal and fat.

He was the two loan sharks money to the baron and play interest in the loop.

The magistrate nods.

“Yes, I can. ”

“Then send me a call right away. Let's meet.”

“Is there anything else you'd like to share? ”

“Nothing. That's all I have to say. ”

“I understand.”

The marshal retreated.

As Lloyd instructed, I sent men to Shylo and Meatloaf.

On that afternoon, two loan sharks visited the baron.

However, their attitude was a little different than before.

“Hahaha, how are you? ”

“Big time! How have you been? ”

Shiloh and Meatloaf kept their manners intact. They even brought their own baskets of flowers and wine for gifts.

I couldn't have imagined it before.

Even in front of the baron, I couldn't find his arrogant expression anymore.

The reason was simple.

‘Cause you don't want to die. ’

Lloyd grins.

They had already faced the threat of Orc Warrior Arosh before their last visit. They even know that the Baron Frontera and the Steel Sand Orc tribes are bloodthirsty.

Blood blindness is precious to Orcs.

An enemy of a friend is an enemy of mine.

The principle is to kill fewer.

That's why you don't want to be the enemy of the baron, so you can take care of yourself.

Lloyd greets them, swallowing a bitter smile.

As soon as I sat down, I got to the point.

“It's been a long time. Actually, I have some good news for you. ”

“Good news?”

“I recently made some money. ”

Shiloh and Meatloaf tilt their heads.

It seems that the work in Cremo has not yet spread to this region.

Lloyd smiles meaningfully towards them.

“I think I can repay you for some of the money I owe you. ”

“Repayment? ”

“Yes.”

“Then how much……. ”

“Approximately half the total debt. ”

“Huh?”

The eyes of the two quadriplegics widen.

Amazing. Unbelievable.

The amount the baron of Frontera owes.

Because it was never worth it.

‘You couldn't handle it in the first place. How?

Shiloh and Meatloaf have the same idea. On the other hand, I also recalled the time when Baron Frontera rented private loans to them.

‘At that time, Baron Frontera was confident. ’

The baron who came looking for them.

I thought you were planning on buying land this time.

I don't have enough money to buy it, so I borrowed it to help.

So he asked.

Are you gonna be okay?

Interest. Expensive.

Then the baron nods as if he's okay.

He said the land he was going to buy will soon be priced in the heavenly realms. Then I also assured him that I could pay back the money I borrowed this time quickly.

And the baron of Frontera was destroyed.

‘It turns out that the owner of the land was a fraud. ’

After releasing the person, the fraudster told me that all of Baron Frontera's investments had been hushed. Even the land that Baron Frontera invested was a false property, a land that existed only by paperwork.

It was a complete fraud.

But that didn't make me the only two quadriplegivers to be kind to the Baron Frontera.

‘I borrowed money at my own discretion, and I'm responsible for it. ’

It's kindness and nothing in front of money.

As promised.

That's the scary thing about money.

The two quadriplegics adhered to that principle more than anyone else.

The contract was executed in an even manner.

A tremendous proportion of interest that was taken instead of short-term loans. I added it to the principal every day without a single ounce of enuri.

Interest has increased.

Interest has been raised again as the principal increases.

Interest calls interest, and the principal inflated increases like a bubble.

While Baron Frontera was struggling to pay off interest, the total debt was suddenly raised to an even greater extent than the original principal.

So Shiloh and Meatloaf thought to themselves,

I can't repay that money forever.

The baron's abilities won't be enough.

So let's roll him with interest and get the baron's mansion and his inheritance.

‘Cause that's how we do it. That's a lot more than the first loan. ’

I waited.

Like a spider watching a fly streak on a spider web. Like a viper staring at a poisonous mouse.

Waiting for the baron to dry up.

But it wasn't.

An unexpected card appeared from the baron who thought he was going to die. My oldest son, who was a wretch, started doing a lot of things and called for a change.

And that wretch, Lloyd Frontera, is now declaring that he can pay off half his debt at once.

“Hey, is that true? ”

I still can't believe it, so Shylo asked.

Of course, Lloyd nods as if it were perfectly natural.

“Yes.”

Of course it was true.

An amount equal to half of the total debt.

I have plenty of room.

No, he was even able to settle half his debts and spare some time.

‘Earl Cremo was a big help. ’

Lloyd smiles freely.

The trade city of Cremo.

It was a thankful neighborhood that gave a nuclear advantage to itself.

I sold the secondhand treasure I got from the Orcs to the Earl.

With that, I made some pretty heavy necklaces.

I was asked by the Earl there.

Construction of marine artificial terrain.

I got a lot more from that construction than I had originally promised.

The night before Cremo left, we had a deal with the Earl.).

Are you thinking of returning to the baron tomorrow? ’

"Yes, it is."

"Too bad. I didn't even give you a fair reward for defending Gigatitan." ’

‘Then why don't you repay me now? ’

Do you want something in return? ’

‘Yes, it's money. ’

‘ ……. ’

I want double the cost of doing artificial earth work. ’

"Slurp. Let's double it. ’

I thought you said you were going to return the ball. ’

"1.6x."

‘Ha. I was fighting to kill Gigatitan. ’

"Phew. 1.7x. Not anymore. ’

"Thank you."

…… through a series of constructive and harmonious negotiations.

“It's full cash. Of course, you'll need to confirm. Then let's go.”

Lloyd's awake.

He still takes a few quadriplegics downstairs.

Baron Frontera, who was waiting there, opened the vault with the Administrator.

Inside, gold coins and gold clubs were flashing.

The mouths of the two quadriplegics have been ripped from underneath your ears.

So I settled half the debt I had on the baron.

The interest in the future was also reduced by half.

‘That means that half of the water taxes collected in the ordinance will be accumulated in net profits. ’

After calculating, Lloyd raises his head in satisfaction.

The vault was empty again to pay off the debt.

Of course, I was confident enough to refill it.

In order to do that, I had to move without any slowness.

From that day on, Lloyd continued to work hard every day.

“Here! Grab it! ”

“Yep!"

I put the extension belt directly on my waist.

It's been a long time since I've held a tool in the construction site.

Onstone houses that have been regularly supplied by the Baron.

You've taken charge of the site of making that last Ondol.

So, from the previous Ondol contract to the additional contract won, it was the moment when all the contracts were completed and the construction was completed.

Ding-dong.

[Onstone Home Repair on Frontera Terra Territory is complete.]

[You have achieved a successful delivery by introducing new heating methods into one region. Residents will quickly adapt to this new and easy-to-use heating system and feel satisfied.]

[Ondol Heating is a residential culture unique to Frontera.]

[Ondol Heating is known as the Frontera floor heating system] and is a page in the history of the construction of the continent.]

[Bonus based on significant construction achievements, a large amount of RP will be awarded.]

[Earned 400 RP.]

[Current RP: 1,946]

‘Wow.'

A cheerful message beautified my eyes.

An unexpected achievement reward.

And a small construction fee.

It was a welcome benefit to roll in like this.

But Lloyd didn't stop.

My mouth does not tear, nor do I lie idle for a moment.

Rather, I was speeding things up.

‘I've been away too long because of Gigattans I didn't think of. ’

I had a lot of work to do.

Headed to the mine of bitumen.

I went in and out of the mine for a few days and hung on a safety check.

Then I checked on the status of the construction of the rental house in Marez Gage.

It was a house where the contracted immigrants would come and live in spring.

‘So you have to make it good. ’

Contracted immigrants.

It was mostly peasants who lived a reasonably modest and stable life. Those who did so decided to go on their own big adventure.

My land, even if it's a bit more burdensome than the steady income of other lands. That was how they decided to relocate.

‘Thank you. They're the ones who took the biggest risk. ’

That's what danger is to the poor.

Moving a rented house. Or quit your job and start something else. I don't have enough money to live on right now, so I can cancel the insurance even if I have to take a lot of damage.

Every little choice is a little adventure. There are no stockpiled assets, so there is no chance of redemption if one fails.

Perhaps people who live a stable life do not know that feeling.

But Lloyd felt that way himself.

I had to live in Korea every day at the high school, feeling that every moment. It was not a big deal for others to choose, but only after they were prepared to do so.

I feel like I don't have a back.

Every day the cost of opportunity leads to a problem of survival.

After experiencing that, he was well aware of how the immigrants opened up.

‘First, we need to reassure them. That way you can focus on your work. ’

I wanted to make it easier for me to stay at home at least.

That way, even migrants will have more strength to take over the land. We will be able to make the whole place richer.

A cozy home where you can rest.

Lloyd thinks it's the beginning of settling down. So I paid more attention and inspected the construction of the rental house.

After that, the work continued.

You make sure the water doesn't freeze.

The condition of the stockpiled coal was also checked.

Just like that, I ran for almost 20 days busy.

Then I was able to handle most of the work that had been done.

Nevertheless, Lloyd could not rest.

“Lo, Lloyd! ”

It was Lloyd who came out of the warehouse after checking the coal.

The magistrate rushes towards him.

I shouted in a trembling voice.

“Hey, you've got a customer, cow, customer! ”

“Guest?”

“Yes!”

“Then why are you so embarrassed? ”

Lloyd tilts his head.

It was strange.

The clerk was an experienced man. But I can't believe someone like that is so embarrassed by his guests.

Do you have a very impressive guest?

Lloyd frowns.

“Who the hell is here to make such a fuss? Besides, if you're an important guest, you should inform the baron before me. ”

Lloyd bites.

Actually, I was just finishing up and getting some rest. I was a little annoyed, to be honest, that I came to see myself and not the lord.

His frustrated question overwhelmed the magistrate.

“Well, well, well…. ”

“That?”

“The chief has arrived. ”

“A crowbar? What? ”

“The royal conspiracy from the royal family. ”

“Your Majesty? ”

“Yes.”

The magistrate nods forcefully.

He frowned as if he couldn't believe it either.

“So, the king's conspiracy is looking for Lloyd. ”

“What?"

The crown prince is here to see you?

Lloyd's eyes widened.
