The Greatest Architect

81. Reputation Awakening (3)

“Since time immemorial, many kings of the past have worked hard for the peace and comfort of nobles, citizens, and all the other peoples. In addition, the foundation for people to live in peace has been regarded as a burden. ”

Gaaaah!

The grimoire opened with a cheerful sound.

His solemn voice dug a hole in his ear.

So Lloyd thought to himself,

‘Oh shit. If you do this, I'll leave.’

Lloyd sat on his knees politely in front of the policeman.

I was glad to keep my head down.

It was because I didn't have to show him a complicated face.

‘The king's decree. It's like a double-edged sword. ’

He glances around.

The baron kneels side-by-side.

I could see the baron's eyelids and eyelashes trembling.

Glory in abundance.

The joy and happiness of blooming endlessly.

It was like the person sitting in front of the bank window with lottery winning paper.

Well, that's enough.

This was the countryside.

It was one of the barons stuck in the east corner.

Unless there's a big war and the king is friendly. Or if there's a disaster in history that's going to happen and they're going to scout it for themselves.

Other than that, the king was a thug who would never put one toe in his life.

But here comes the king's policeman.

The decree written in the king's own hand came down.

‘It's probably an honor for the family to be left behind. From the baron's perspective.’

What greater joy and glory could a nobleman have?

Lloyd's expression became a little more complicated secretly.

‘Well, it's an honor. Honor that will only be useful when used well. ’

The crown prince has come to deliver the king's decree.

The scenario was approximate.

‘Probably because of what happened in Cremo. ’

I got the construction from the Earl.

Naval man-made terrain has been successfully created.

Afterwards, you defeated Gigatitan who attacked the city.

Perhaps it was because of the act that entered the king's ears.

That's why he wants to pay for the ball and give you a reward.

‘I feel good. Slurp. It's a bit burdensome. This is why I didn't want to fight Gigatitan. ’

Lloyd's brow twitches.

It was true.

It would have been best if I had just successfully completed the construction.

That's how you get the construction money, and by virtue of that, you get several projects from the great powers of the big city through Earl Cremo. I earn a good profit by raising the price of my name as a moderate contractor.

That's what Lloyd drew.

In addition, I was only going to draw there.

‘That's all I had to do. That's as good as it gets. I figured if I worked hard for a few years like that, I'd pay off the debt to the loan sharks. ’

By his calculations.

I had already repaid half my debt.

Thanks to you, the interest is even lower than before.

There were also monthly water taxes taken from neighboring Rakona's orders.

That alone allowed me to save for the money I had left over.

I didn't want any more.

I thought it was overpaid to go further.

‘All you have to do is repay the debt. So don't go out there until you've done too much work. If you do too much of what you do, you might end up paying off your debt and continuing to work. ’

So far, the busyness has been to repay the debt.

After I pay off my debt?

I didn't want to work.

I didn't want to work hard.

Living hard to die has already been bored in Korea.

But even here, I didn't want to live like that all my life. I didn't even want to get rich. I just wanted to suck honey for the rest of my life as a peasant.

‘Eat to your heart's content. Watching books and lying around. Then, if you get bored, ride a horse. Meet the right girl and get married. Not too hard. Having children, being impure, being generous enough. That's the life I want. ’

And now?

The painting he drew had unexpected variables in it.

Fighting an unwanted gigantitan. A huge achievement that I built while rolling around trying not to die.

That's how he stamped it in the eyes of the king.

‘Phew. What should I do about this? ’

It felt good, but at the same time it was embarrassing.

Suddenly, my memories in the military came back to me.

‘Even in the military. Moderately, it's best to go halfway, but I didn't know that at the time. ’

It was true.

Maybe it was private time.

It was the first day I was stationed at the base after my training camp.

As soon as I left, the warden asked me.

Civil engineering? You want a shovel? ’

So I answered.

Sitting on each chair in the administrative room.

And he raised his voice to the top of his lungs and said, "Yes! Yes! ’

‘That was the beginning of all misfortune. ’

Lloyd sighs deeply.

The answer I shouted without thinking.

That was the beginning of his own misfortune.

From that day on, you will receive a dedicated summon (?). I was called into all sorts of work.

Beginning with the drainage, it was a day of refurbishing the outpost, refurbishing the perimeter fence, constructing the chief, refurbishing the gym or the dry cleaners, refurbishing the battlefield, various repairs, construction, and repairs.

"Later on, they were all summoned up to either spin or weld! ’

Thanks to this, I was able to master a weld that wasn't even there for me.

Even though Gyeonggi-do was from the Yeouido Mechanization Unit, he spent more time working on platoon tactics and individual combat exercises.

I rode more Rikka than an armored car.

I had to touch more shovels than a rifle.

Then I spent my entire military life as Van Nogademan.

‘Even as I was getting closer to my role, I even lured him into hiding! ’

In fact, he received even a gentle reasoning to say that he would stay in the army as a deputy commander.

Of course, I hated armies and pegs.

Of course I refused.

When my life became difficult later, I regretted it a little.

‘Anyway, don't bounce too much. I don't want the rumors to spread too well. From then on, I kept getting hurt by my superiors. ’

But it seemed to be happening to him now.

It was even more so when I heard the contents of the commandment he was reading without tiring.

“So Jim couldn't grieve after hearing what had happened in Cremo…… blah…… and in the meantime he felt great joy at the achievements of young nobles and luxury…… blah…… showing incredible courage and sacrifice. ”

‘Whew, please. ’

I have to clean up Marez's mess.

I'm about to start a coal business.

I'm a little busy right now.

So please don't call me King.

No, you can call me later when you're free.

Lloyd earnestly prayed for the king.

However, his solemn voice was absent.

“Commander, I invite Lloyd Frontera and Xaviel Asrahan to the throne to pay for their achievements." The two of them, together with the policeman who delivered the edict, order you to move immediately to the Royal Road. Public power published in January 617 by King Alicia Termina Magentano in Wangdo Magenta. ”

Tick took, tick!

The scroll with the ordinance lightly dried.

Maybe that policeman practiced that move all day long.

At the same time, the baron kneels next to him, shaking his shoulders. I was so impressed, I began to get the fever between my bows.

“Ugh… sob! Huff, huff! ”

“Baron Arcos Frontera, raise your head. ”

“Huff, huff! Hehehehe!”

“You must be proud of your son. I have a wonderful son. ”

“Yippee, yippee, yippee, yippee! Heave, heh! ”

Ding-dong.

[Arcos Frontera's affection for you has increased by +9.]

[Current relationship with Arcos Frontera: +56]

[Greatly improved relationships with key people earned 90 RP.]

[Current RP: 2,036]

‘Whew.'

Lloyd breathes heavily.

At this point, I didn't seem to have a choice.

It was already irreversible.

‘It's better to just play the game like this. ’

Methods to maximize benefit from a changed situation.

As a result, the choice to settle debts at all costs is to move forward.

This side doesn't look so bad either.

No, it might be much better depending on how to use it.

After a quick calculation, Lloyd raises his head with a bright face.

“Lloyd Frontera receives a great royal decree. ”

Thus, the royal road, such as the head of the Lightning McQueen's Judicial Notice, was decided.

The festival was held at the Baron Frontera.

It was a time when winter was at its peak, and it was a time when few hands were involved in farming. You, too, have gathered the colonists who were hanging around the bottom of the warm Onstone Grove.

It really felt like the senior candidate for the judicial notice came out of the neighborhood.

‘If you hang a few banners on the front pole of the village entrance, the atmosphere will be perfect. ’

I suddenly thought of Lloyd watching the festival.

The atmosphere was really not a joke.

In fact, I did.

It was a country bumpkin with little dreams or hope. He was a young master who drank every day in such territory.

However, from one day, the young master changed completely.

Suddenly, he seemed to have regained consciousness.

I started living hard.

I've done things.

I succeeded in everything I did.

I made as much money as I made oil out of nothing. I got rid of the dark aura that was brought upon me by the trickster.

And now, in the nick of time, I receive the king's decree.

They're called the Kingsguard. They get big prizes.

The shoulders of the peasant countrymen shrugged.

No, in fact, the benefits they would receive would not be small enough.

“The pride of the people of the territory will be inspiring. Not only that, you'll get better treatment when you meet people from other lands. Not only is it easy to be despised gone, but you will have a small gain when dealing in goods. ”

“Hmm, it means that you will now hear less' on a topic from a thug. '”

“Something like that."

In Xaviel's reply, Lloyd nods.

It was a plausible story.

‘This territory should be all for the people here. ’

This is the home and home of the Frontera.

However, the reputation of the territory has risen.

It became a territory that received decrees and teachings from the king.

It has become a title that others in the province cannot easily ignore.

‘You should be proud. Well, it's the football or the baseball team that cheers you up, but it's the shoulders that wiggle. ’

Such a psychology was seen in the modern world where Korea was.

A specific soccer team wins in the Champions League

Even the team's most popular player scores a winning goal and carries the game and blows it up.

Then Lloyd saw countless community bulletin boards pop up online that day.

‘I was in such a frenzy that I had no advantage over you. ’

On the other side of the world, it was human psychology to be so enthusiastic about myself and a football player without any academic delays or bloodshed.

But what happened here?

What are the cases in which you received an edict?

It would be a real benefit to the residents, directly or indirectly.

It was even more so because he gained his reputation by receiving the decree and became a lord in the future.

That is why everyone will have a feast with such sincerity.

Every time I see myself on the road, my eyes will be dazzled like the fans who met the Earth's strongest Idol bulletproof vests.

‘Well, thanks to you, I got an extra RP. ’

100 to the baroness.

30 to Lord Bavaria.

You received 70 RP from the entire territory.

Of course, the RP that was collected was piled up.

I wanted to upgrade my Manahart skills right away, but I couldn't help but wonder when another critical moment would come.

‘Just building skills like Manahart doesn't make you stronger. ’

Skill should be upgraded for future situations. Seeking such tailored growth will help me cope well with the situation. Not in the anthill, not in the battle with Gigatitan.

In reminiscence of that experience, Lloyd kept the RP as hard as a half-moon bear preparing for winter's sleep.

At least a little RP invested in the transformation of the illusions was all he allowed himself.

[You purchased 100 Sunflower Seed Sets.]

[Purchase Cost: 100 RP]

[Current RP: 2,136]

Likewise, Lloyd prepared for the royal road to Chagok Chagok.

Of course, I didn't just prepare for the journey.

I prepared a bigger picture.

‘Since the king laid the board like this, it's better to suck the side of the plate to the broth properly (? Of course!’

That's how Lloyd decided.

I spent the last few days planning.

And finally, the day of departure for the Kingdom came.

On the way to the Royal Road, Lloyd's big painting was the day to start up the debt to the baron completely.
