Chapter 356. The reason why A/S is scary (1)
Whoa!
Huge bone wings stirred the air.
An even bigger dragon dragon soared into the sky.
Thanks to this, King Venetogna was frightened and had to self-regulate his bladder vigorously.
‘…Heh gasp!’
He couldn’t come to his senses at all.
He just had a meeting with a madman who brought a bone dragon to his capital.
Even so, he was trying to rescue the kingdom from the crucible of destruction.
I never dreamed that the ending would be such a kidnapping drama.
I really didn’t know that I would enjoy a bare-body free air ring 3,000 meters in the air on top of the Bondragon’s palm in this way without a plan.
‘Huh hee hee pole!’
Hung! Whoo! King of Kings! hook!
Up there, every time Yongyong’s huge wings stirred the air.
Every time it accelerates rapidly with a terrifying roar.
So every time the headwind is the face and hits the whole body.
King Venetogna had to shrug his shoulders.
please don’t fall down
He gave a lot of strength to his trembling legs.
Of course, even in the midst of that, he tried his best not to lose his last authority and pride as a king.
“This is it! this! Hmm! What an outrage!”
I screamed as loudly as I could.
I hope that his voice does not tremble.
Only the eyes were brightly lit.
It never stooped flat or prostrated itself.
Even if he died, he vowed to die with a dignified figure, and instead stood tall.
Thanks to that, it was Lloyd who freaked out.
“…Aww tea!”
Surprised, he quickly stretched out his hand.
I’m afraid King Venetogna will be blown away by the wind.
To prevent the unexpected ending of the fall, he quickly grabbed my shoulder.
and shouted
“sorry! In fact, if I don’t do this, you won’t believe me at all!”
“You mean?”
“You mean the completion of the canyon railway to be used as a trade route in the Pantara Mountains! If you don’t believe me no matter how much I do, why don’t you show it yourself!”
“Show me? to wine? Are you still going to say that nonsense?”
“No, it’s just to prove it’s not bullshit! So some! Bow down for a moment!”
“…Whoops!”
Lloyd’s hand squeezed King Venetogna’s shoulder.
The king could not stand it and sat down.
And it was hot.
His beard trembled at the insolence of daring to sit on the king’s shoulder.
With angry eyes, he tried to shout at Lloyd.
but before that.
Lloyd’s words, which came out half a beat, interrupted the king’s scolding.
“Do you see it over there?”
“…what?”
The king lost the timing while trying to rage.
Taking advantage of his flinch, Lloyd quickly pointed to one side.
A message to tempt the opponent to look back was also attached.
“If you look there, you will understand all my actions.”
“what….”
Half wrath, half bewildered.
Just like that, the king turned his head involuntarily, feeling like half seasoned and half fried.
Following Lloyd’s gesture, he looked down at the foot of the Pantara Mountains far below.
And without realizing it, I took a deep breath.
“her?”
It was straight.
The places where the peaks and valleys used to be were neatly cut and tidied up.
Of course, it was still full of steep slopes.
but….
“What is that?”
Lines were drawn along the slopes of the canyon.
It was going up the slope of the slope in a zigzag.
However, upon closer inspection, it was not simply a line drawn on the ground.
It was long.
Two rows of metal lines were placed along the narrowly raised road.
And on one side, a tall, long cart I had never seen before was rattling up the slope along two lines of iron.
“These are the tracks and trains I mentioned.”
The corners of Lloyd’s mouth curled slightly.
After all, I thought it was a good idea to get the test train moving at the right timing.
He said while keeping his eyes aligned with the king towards the railway.
“The principle is simple. It is to move a long wagon with wheels of the size that fit the railroad on top of the railroad at regular intervals.”
“But how could that slope….”
“A lot of techniques were used. It’s a trade secret, so I can’t reveal it.”
“….”
The king’s heavy silence.
In the meantime, Lloyd’s voice became serious.
“First of all, I sincerely bow my head and apologize to the King, who is the rightful ruler and monarch of the Kingdom of Veneto, for committing today’s rudeness. Although it was done because I wanted unnecessary conversation to flow for a long time and lead to a hostile atmosphere, it would certainly be an act to be criticized for bringing it in so recklessly.”
“….”
“However, I thought it would be best for both of us to confirm with our own eyes, even if it was a little overbearing. This is because it was considered the surest way to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings and subsequent disputes on the day of deepening the emotional rift.”
“….”
“Of course, I am well aware that this is also my excuse. So I earnestly bow my head and ask for it. I sincerely hope that you will treat my rudeness today with the same generosity as Hahae.”
Lloyd’s voice was more serious than ever.
It wasn’t deliberate seriousness.
It was sincere.
‘of course. They brought the king of a country like a kidnapping. To be honest, I thought I might have gone too far this time.’
So I was worried.
but it was over
There are plenty of other benign means.
It was obvious that there would be too much wasted time and effort.
‘Because of the time freeze anyway. Because of the difference in the sense of time that was created like that. From the point of view of the king and the people of the Veneto Kingdom, it must have been less than a month since Yongyong broke the peak. It was obvious that I would never believe that a trade route across the mountain range had been completed in the meantime.’
But how hard did it take to explain it?
Because of Yongyong’s demolition of the peak, he must have been on high alert.
Just thinking about it made me sick.
So it was.
One hundred words are not enough.
I just wanted to show you.
I thought you would believe me if you did.
‘So now I have to calm down. To be honest, I was a bit rude.’
It was the old King Venetogna.
I wonder if you were quite surprised when you were kidnapped(?) earlier.
Even now, the blood that had drained from his face hadn’t returned.
Lloyd felt sorry for that and took off his winter clothes.
It was carefully placed on King Venetogna’s shoulder.
No more unnecessary words.
Sometimes silence is better than words.
I think now is such a time.
He waited patiently for the King’s reply.
“….”
Venetogna’s thick, white beard twitched.
In fact, he was deeply surprised.
It was because of Lloyd’s attitude.
‘Have you apologized to Gwain?’
It was unexpected.
It’s a powerless abduction situation.
I thought I was going to die without moving.
As such, the rude kidnapper was making an unexpected and polite apology.
that it had to be like this
I thought this was a better way for each other.
He looked into the eyes of this side with sincere and respectful eyes, calmly revealing them.
At the same time, it was showing evidence that it had to be like this.
The Pantara Mountains spread out beneath your feet.
It was a railroad that was made to penetrate there.
‘Was the author’s words true?’
Of course, it could be a trick.
It may be a ploy to disarm one’s mind in this way. No, the possibility of that is quite strong.
However, King Venetogna immediately shook his head.
‘no. The author’s position is too advantageous to be a trick. Right now, Guwain is just a helpless old man kidnapped by them. If you put your mind to it, harming the wine won’t be a chore.’
But what about that Lloyd Frontera?
It didn’t.
Didn’t do this one.
Neither threatened nor threatened.
Instead, he calmly showed what he claimed as evidence.
After that, he was handing over a polite and careful apology saying that he was really sorry.
‘If the purpose is to take the life of a winemaker, there won’t be any need for that. It would be over if I just do wine here. The same goes for the kingdom of wine.’
What if that Lloyd is trying to invade and destroy the Kingdom of Veneto?
You don’t have to do anything so complicated.
This is the yard where they were kidnapped.
take your life like this
Advance to the capital as it is.
It would be enough to execute destruction and slaughter with Bone Dragon at the fore.
If you do, the kingdom’s defenders, whose king has been lost and the center of command lost, will collapse in an instant.
‘But the author isn’t like that.’
After thinking that far, King Venetogna finally lifted his suspicious gaze slightly.
With eyes that left only a slight doubt.
In a slightly embarrassed mood at the fact that he dared to kidnap himself.
asked Lloyd harshly.
“You are a very nasty person. I’ll ask for a wine. Lloyd Frontera, are you always like this?”
“Oh, no.”
“if?”
“Normally they act a bit more vicious.”
“….”
“Oh sorry. This is not a threat. I didn’t mean to. Really.”
“….”
That just sounded intimidating enough.
King Venetogna ate his sore mouth.
And I realized
‘It’s a position that I have no choice but to start as the outcome of this negotiation loses.’
Anyway, that Lloyd Frontera is holding the hilt.
In addition, behind the author’s back is the mighty hegemon Magentano.
How about in the current situation?
That the author does not harm himself.
That Magentano doesn’t invade.
It would have been best on this side to just be grateful.
So, in a way, this is rather than a negotiation?
It should be seen as a place to hear the notice of the Magentano royal family through the mouth of the author.
‘….’
It’s a little humiliating, but it can’t be helped.
It’s just the cold reality.
King Venetogna, who had done the calculations in his heart, said, trying to hide his composure.
“If you do, let’s listen.”
“You mean the will of His Highness the King whom I serve?”
“Yes. It seems like Gwa-in is the one who has to listen to it anyway.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Thank you. Rather, I should express my gratitude. About the magnanimity of the Magentanos, who did not readily choose to invade even in this situation.”
I put my bones in my words and laughed bitterly.
Lloyd said with more politeness in his voice.
“All right. If you do, I will convey the will of Your Highness. My lord, King Alicia Terrmina Magentano, wants direct exchange and trade with you.”
“A.C? trade?”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodded.
His answer followed.
“You probably know. My home country, Magentano, has wanted to advance to the Southwest for generations since its founding. However, each attempt was thwarted by insurmountable geographical barriers.”
“okay. Because of the Pantara Mountains.”
“you’re right. So my lord, King Alicia Terrmina Magentano, gave me a special order to build a trade route that would stably cross the Pantara Mountains.”
“Isn’t this an invasion route?”
“Whether the railroad below will be used as a trade route or an invasion route is a matter for my lord and you to decide.”
“You just opened the road according to the order, but what purpose the road is used for is up to the politicians? You are irresponsible.”
“sorry. But because it is true.”
“okay. fact is true Guwain wouldn’t even bother denying that.”
“Thank you for noticing.”
“What is gratitude?”
King Venetogna clicked his tongue.
That Lloyd Frontera.
The more I mixed the words, the more I hated and coveted them.
The same was true of the narration skillfully escaping from the target of responsibility, as well as the shameless face maintaining composure while clearly showing such intentions.
I hated him because he was the other party to the negotiations.
I wondered what it would have been like if I had been under him.
‘I’m really envious. Alicia, I can’t imagine that Gwanin would be so envious of that greedy and ferocious woman.’
Actions Lloyd Frontera showed today.
Take the initiative by boldly crossing the line.
Set the direction of negotiations based on initiative.
He was making himself play on the plate.
At the same time, he was exquisitely taking only actions that aroused as little hostility as possible.
That was why.
“Then do you believe that you are not intending to pass political responsibility on to an old man like me just by mouthing it?”
With clever words, he glanced at Lloyd.
It seems like it’s real, but it’s not real.
Mix your true heart in it.
If this side accepts the notice.
The other side asked what to give.
Although this side is powerlessly informed.
If you really want to consider this side as a partner, I asked what kind of sincerity you would show.
waited at the same time.
Will Lloyd really accept his intentions?
With a hint of curiosity and anticipation, his wrinkled eyes lit up.
And Lloyd did not disappoint King Venetogna’s expectations(?) in the slightest.
It was as if he had clearly anticipated what King Venetogna would want.
As if he appealed that he was prepared for it, of course.
He wore a natural smile.
“of course.”
“Of course?”
“yes.”
He nodded his head confidently.
Like a salesperson who satisfies a new customer, he said, licking his lips.
“Isn’t post-sales service following the conclusion of a transaction an essential virtue?”
That’s how it is.
That way, you can laugh and skip all of your liver and gallbladder.
Lloyd’s smile shone more warmly as he embraced the dream of exploitation of kindness.
