Chapter 295. Never ignore humans again (3)
Ding Dong.
[A new tribute to you by the centaur species has been created.]
[A new tribute < Never ignore humans again > has been created.]
‘Huh.’
A sweet ringing sound in your ears.
A message that comes to mind in front of your eyes.
These moments are the most rewarding.
The sense of accomplishment of having accomplished something soars.
Lloyd, with a feeling of warm satisfaction, cast his gaze at the details of the tribute.
[Never disrespect humans again]
[Praise rating: Local oral tradition]

who arrives quickly.
There was someone who proved faster.
So what if you want to run like that?
Then, shall we run south?
Only 600 kilometers.
[Praise effect: You opened up a new era of long-distance running for the centaur species by showing phenomenal tenacity and endurance. Even the centaur champions who were your rivals, as well as some of the centaurs who watched the match, wholeheartedly acknowledged your long-distance performance. Your reputation will spread to the far corners of the Great Plains, and a new way to conserve stamina over long distances will become fashionable among the centaur foals. Also, you have the < Fuel efficiency improvement > passive option that reduces physical strength consumption by 1/2 when the heart rate is over 140 beats per minute
. Period: 160 years]
[The effect of praise is applied 24 hours within the area and period of praise. Also, depending on your actions in the future, the area and period of praise may be extended or shortened.]
[CP provided by tribute every month: 2]
[Current CP: 1477]
‘…Heh heh heh.’
After examining the tribute options, Lloyd laughed.
It had to be.
An option created thanks to this tribute.
It was because the performance of the option exceeded expectations.
‘Is this cool? Doesn’t that mean that at a heart rate of 140 beats per minute or more, the consumption of physical strength is reduced by half in an open flat area of 1,000 square meters or more?’
At first glance, it seemed like a complicated activation condition.
But if you think about it a little?
It was a fairly loose condition.
‘of course. If your heart rate is 140 per minute, it’s a figure you can take even if you exercise a little hard. Besides, flat terrain with a length and width of more than 100 meters each is quite common.’
So what if only two conditions that are subtly generous like that are met?
It meant that the fuel economy improvement option was automatically activated immediately.
It also meant that the stamina consumption was cut in half.
‘This is honey.’
It will be useful in any crisis or unexpected situation in the future.
Capturing those thoughts, Lloyd raised his head.
He said to the exhausted Comanche.
“I have to return the borrowed items and people to their place, so please wait here for a moment.”
Evidence to prove his victory over the Comanche.
So, it was my turn to return the inauguration ceremony mug for the chief of the northern border guard of the Magentano Kingdom, a badge of rank, an ID card, a toothbrush, a ceremonial sword, a family flag, and his mistress.
I called Kkoming.
fed red sunflower seeds.
I returned the goods and the border guard’s wife.
Back to the Comanche.
He raised the tired Comanche and put him on Kkoming’s back.
He also burned Xaviel, who had followed him from afar.
Two humans and a centaur.
Thanks to that, I flew on the back of Kkomingyi, who was cramped at the very edge of the crowd.
I returned to the starting point, Charcoal Stone Wind Village.
I informed everyone of this side’s victory.
“…After the process and fierce competition, I reached the finish line first. Right?”
“exactly. admit my defeat The human Lloyd Frontera is the only winner of this match.”
Manifesto of Lloyd and Comanche.
The eyes of the centaur tribesmen widened.
Everyone was confused by the unbelievable result.
But Lloyd wasn’t mean.
Whether they’re confused or not.
I did not forget to take the spoils of victory first.
“Okay so everyone pay attention!”
Lloyd’s voice caught the attention of the centaur tribesmen who were about to hum.
The moment when everyone’s eyes and ears are focused.
He declared as if he had been waiting.
“Anyway, as you can see, the match was decided like this. Yes, it is. Mr. Comanche was the champion of a proud tribe of centaurs three years in a row, and I was faster than Mr. Comanche.”
“….”
everyone’s silence.
Someone swallowed dry saliva.
And everyone thought.
What is this person trying to talk about?
An ominous yet uncomfortable feeling of foreboding bloomed.
Lloyd’s words continued.
“Yes, I am faster than Mr. Comanche. So, faster than all of you here. Faster than all centaurs in the world. But will you all remember? That’s what Mr. Comanche said right before the match started.”
A meaningful smile bloomed on Lloyd’s lips before he knew it.
Eventually, everyone’s ominous (?) premonition became reality.
“Centaurs do not listen to those who are slower than themselves. Is that correct?”
“….”
“Is that correct?”
“….”
“what? Does everyone sleep in the stable?”
“….”
“Well, since everyone has no answer, I will answer. That’s right. Mr. Comanche clearly said so. But I’m faster than all of you. So, to conclude, from now on all the centaur gentlemen and ladies of the Great Plains must follow my words.”
coo kung.
Everyone’s heart sank.
But regardless, Lloyd’s calm remarks continued.
“So I’m going to set the rules. From now on, the rules I am going to tell you will be the rules to be followed not only here in the realm of the Cinderwind tribe, but also for all centaurs, young and old, who live in the Great Plains of Klamath.”
Lloyd looked around at everyone gathered in the clearing.
A meaningful smile grew on his lips.
Before long, from the perspective of the Centaurs, a declaration that felt like a thunderbolt fell.
“Rule number one. All sprinting within the village is prohibited.”
“…what!”
“No what!”
As soon as Lloyd’s declaration fell, the centaur youth jumped up and down.
But either way.
Everyone was so surprised that they tumbled and did head spins or not.
Lloyd continued his declaration as if it had nothing to do with it.
“The second rule. The match for marriage proposal must be held only in the ‘Colosseum’ that will be built from now on.”
“….”
No one jumped this time.
Everyone agreed to Lloyd’s declaration?
It wasn’t.
Lloyd’s shameless expression.
Speech without communication.
It was because he realized at once that this was a non-negotiable situation based on his attitude.
So, Lloyd’s remark was a notification, not a conversation.
It was a notice, not communication.
It was the same even with the last words to confirm.
“Okay then I will ask. Is there anyone who does not agree with the rules I have set?”
“….”
“Of course not. Everyone is slower than me.”
“….”
“If you feel unfair, you can challenge me and prove that you are faster.”
“….”
everyone realized
It would be useless even if I challenged that person.
No matter how hard you try, you will be defeated just like the Comanche.
The reason was simple.
‘You’re going to use the right of the person who received the challenge to set the finish line arbitrarily! Then you’re going to ask me to run another 600 kilometers!’
Everyone shuddered.
Is there anyone else who could turn even the Emperor of Mobile War into a patient of Mobile War by being so dirty, mean, savage, and mean?
‘Or are all human races like that?’
If that’s the case, it’s difficult.
that’s so scary
Everyone shook their shoulders at the sudden thought that crept into their minds.
But I couldn’t help it.
Dirty and petty though.
It’s really sloppy, so my teeth are shaking.
There was no way to reject that man’s words.
Because I couldn’t think of a way to win.
Thanks to that, everyone reluctantly nodded.
As soon as Lloyd made everyone agree (?), he ran to the warchief’s stable with his eyebrows flying.
“…I went through the process of persuading everyone.”
“persuade?”
“yes.”
“really?”
“Sure.”
“Hmm, I have eyes and ears too.”
“Then you should have seen and heard better.”
“…Tsk. I didn’t know you would use such a vicious tactic.”
“Anyway, to allay the warchief’s concerns, everyone has decided to follow the safe driving rules. Not just the Cobblestones, but all the centaurs here in the Great Plains.”
“Well, let me admit that one thing. It’s really great.”
Warchief Cherokan was genuinely impressed.
I was so impressed that I put a bitter smile on my face.
“Since you said so confidently that you would persuade everyone, I was wondering what method you would use, but I never thought you would ask me to run on such an ignorant street. I didn’t even know I was going to win it again.”
“Did you?”
“It did. honestly. so it was amazing Anyway, since you kept your promise, now it’s my turn to keep it.”
“Yes, thank you. Please sign here.”
Flutter!
Lloyd took the papers out of his pocket as soon as the warchief’s words ran out.
The warchief’s eyebrows twitched.
“…What is this?”
“This is a construction order contract.”
“construction…order?”
“yes.”
nodded quickly.
He said as he smeared his lips with oil.
“Didn’t you sign a conditional contract with me a few days ago? If I succeed in persuading the tribesmen here, the warchief will accept my proposal and order the construction.”
“It was.”
“So, it is a document that finalizes the contents of the conditional contract.”
“This is what you are holding out right now?”
“yes. You must keep your promise.”
“….”
Are all humans really like this?
The Cherokan, feeling slightly bewitched, interfered with the contract.
If Lloyd builds a Circuit Coliseum.
It was a contract stating that the warchief would guide you to the location of ‘Taupo’, the material of the jewel.
Finally, a smile of great satisfaction appeared on Lloyd’s face.
“great. You made a wise choice.”
“Then, are you going to start construction now?”
“yes. It should be. As stated in the contract here, the manpower and materials I request must be supported by the Warchief as wholeheartedly as possible.”
“Okay. If you’re going to build that Colosseum or something, build it properly.”
“Leave it to me.”
With a loud bang, he left the stable.
I was able to exhale after holding my breath.
“…Whoa.”
Gearco ended up winning the Colosseum construction.
But there is also a gap to sweep your heart.
There was no time to relieve the accumulated fatigue.
‘A horn that relieved fatigue! I have to work!’
You must lead a fulfilling life.
For that to happen, people must have a solid foundation.
But what about your base?
It’s a Prontera estate.
How to make it better?
We need to stop the phenomenon of restoring the shitty fate.
So there was no time to rest.
Until one day comes the day when you enjoy a leisurely and abundant life and suck honey.
I hope that day will come earlier.
I vowed to live hard today.
That’s how I got into surveying right away.
Fortunately, there were plenty of places to build a Colosseum.
Anyway, it was a place where all four sides were flat.
In addition, since it is an area with little rainfall, there was not much concern about drainage.
‘I wish I could only do this every day in a place like this!’
…It was almost like a voice came out.
Besides, he had no particular intention of making this time and space grandiose like a real Roman Colosseum.
‘Because it’s unnecessary. I just need to build a track that I can run on with full throttle and safely separate it from my daily life.’
That was the crux of this construction.
Therefore, the Colosseum to be built this time would have a structure similar to a modern car racing arena or racetrack rather than an ancient building in Rome.
‘So, set the overall site area wide. The track is solid. This is the space where spectators can safely stay and watch the game.’
In addition, various spaces were constructed.
A waiting area for the centaurs participating in the match.
A place to cool off and relax after an intense game.
Or even a space to provide first aid in the event of an unexpected accident.
We anticipated various situations and needs, came up with ideas accordingly, and made practical designs.
‘Especially the track to run during the competition is important. Because it’s a safety issue. At the same time, it becomes difficult if a lot of work is involved in maintenance. To be strong without damage semi-permanently.’
meticulously designed.
experimented rigorously.
I even delayed sleep and hung on.
Ten days and a half passed like that.
The design of the Colosseum was finished by the time the dark circles around the eyes began to settle down.
‘Now it’s time to stop time.’
To save time during construction.
The time has finally come to use Time Freeze.
