Chapter 308. Change construction site (3)
“Good. Do you like it. Let’s make a contract.”
Kwak!
The mermaid queen held out her hand.
We shook hands with each other.
For a moment, I felt her overwhelming forearm strength.
I felt like my hands were being crushed in a refreshing way.
Still, Lloyd was able to smile widely.
‘Whoa. The contract was successful.’
I felt relieved inside.
The joy of completing the contract welled up in my heart.
It wasn’t even a crowd.
‘Because this was pretty close.’
The mermaid queen brought tempting conditions.
Nevertheless, there were concerns about whether this contract would be properly concluded.
It was because of the greed that everyone has.
‘Because the mermaid queen could have greed to monopolize the jewel. Because I couldn’t say that there was no possibility.’
That’s what greed is.
No matter how much this side excavated the gem.
Even if, thanks to this side, Beau-ok was able to see the light of day.
So, if you can use gems unexpectedly.
‘At that point, once in a while, greed rears its head. What you already had What I’ve been able to enjoy That kind of greed that I just want to be alone.’
But what if the mermaid queen is in such a greedy state?
no matter how good the terms are.
I thought she wouldn’t accept the contract.
But fortunately, good results were obtained.
‘I’m glad the mermaid queen is such a big crowd.’
She was a much bigger being than I thought.
Thanks to this, it seemed that the big picture of the terms of the contract proposed by this side was coolly seen through and weighed.
It was an ideal result.
‘This way, I’m also worthwhile to work conscientiously.’
In fact, this one wasn’t even greedy.
Of course I was greedy.
Just without informing the mermaid kingdom.
Shall we build the jewel in the Prontera estate?
Whether the mermaid kingdom protests or not, will the construction proceed?
Wouldn’t that be easy?
I also felt tempted.
Honestly, it was a really sweet temptation.
‘Because it wouldn’t be difficult to do that. Tauranga, the first key material I threw into the mermaid kingdom before, I just need to ask Yongyong to bring it.’
Anyway, the mermaid kingdom still doesn’t know the relationship between Yongyong and this side.
So, even if Yongyong steals Tauranga?
The mermaid kingdom wouldn’t know that this side got it.
‘Besides, there wouldn’t be any problem secretly building a gem in Prontera territory. Because it’s a mermaid. It won’t be easy to come up on land. But even on land, how could they know that the Jewel was being built in the Frontera Territory in the eastern inland?’
So, if this is what you want.
If Chimi is honest with her greed.
Construction could have proceeded without their knowledge.
But it didn’t.
The reason was simple.
I thought it was trash.
‘What’s the difference between running a subcontractor in South Korea and building a business that’s getting full while building a business?’
The act of secretly building a jewel in the Frontera territory after obtaining cooperation by saying that it would be built in the mermaid kingdom.
Even if the conditions are tight and difficult, the construction company promises to entrust the work again next time if the work is done well, and then the next time the construction company slaps the unit price to another company at a lower price.
The two didn’t feel very different.
In the end, it felt like something similar.
Even though he usually makes fun of his mouth.
Although he hits a lot of thin rocks with his mouth movements.
At least he didn’t want to live by using those who helped him like that and throwing them away like devoted partners.
I also thought that this was the last line of conscience that I had to keep.
So it was.
‘thank you. Thank you for recognizing my sincerity.’
Lloyd felt grateful to the mermaid queen.
Of course, I didn’t feel sorry.
In fact, Hellgate was opened because of him.
Although it was not intentional.
At the time, it was something I had no choice but to commit because of the lava giant.
I don’t want to die from being beaten, so I’m hiding that fact to the end.
‘sorry. I’ll take responsibility and close the Hell Gate.’
Maybe if you activate the bail?
Wouldn’t it be possible to convince the King of Hell to know how to close the Hell Gate?
Lloyd pushed forward with that expectation.
Now that we have drawn the consent and contract of the mermaid queen.
It was time to move without delay.
“thank you. Then, thinking of your sincere cooperation, I will work hard to build Book.”
I quickly greeted the queen and went down to the deep sea with Xaviel.
After a long time, I arrived at the site of the prison.
I took the key material Tauranga that was thrown there.
I also took the statue that I put in when I first excavated the treasure site.
In the process, he received help from mermaids.
Numerous mermaids moved the Tauranga and statues to land with their muscles twitching.
After that, things went even smoother.
After confirming that the mermaids have returned to the sea.
I called Yongyong.
I rode the Tauranga and the statue on his back.
After loading all the key materials found earlier.
It flew towards the Prontera territory in the southeast.
‘As expected, the ride comfort is a large sedan, and the seating comfort is a large aircraft.’
A large body that can withstand long-distance high-altitude flights!
Thanks to that, the flight was more stable than ever.
After half a day, we arrived at the Frontera estate.
“Bo Bone Dragon!”
A farmer’s composed cry resounded in the Marez clearing.
I passed by the cry and circled the sky over the territory.
and the center of the manor.
Top of a low hill.
I landed Yongyongi in front of the Frontera mansion located there.
Kuwaang-!
There was already an uproar in front of the mansion.
Bone Dragon appeared out of nowhere.
Even got down in front of the manor house.
There was a law that would make a fuss enough.
But the uproar was not a wave of fear and chaos.
It was the opposite.
“It’s a bone dragon! It’s a bone dragon!”
“Really, Master Lloyd came with the Bone Dragon!”
“Long live, Master Lloyd!”
“Long live His Majesty the King!”
The first to dispatch the territory guards cheered.
The quick-footed locals who started flocking to Yongyong from the time he circled the sky above the territory were also with him.
Even though the bone dragon landed with a huge cloud of dust.
Although it shows tremendous force emanating from its own size.
Even so, few Young Ji-min were afraid of Bone Dragon.
Seeing that, Lloyd was able to realize.
‘The news from the capital came all the way here first.’
Suddenly, he remembered the events of the time he stopped by the capital to find Tauranga.
It is said that he saved the king’s spirit there.
to open a banquet
Yongyong officially debuted(?).
Just like the king came to rule the bone dragon.
It was revealed at an official event.
Thanks to this, he became a public servant of the royal family.
Legally, Yong-Yong was being pampered.
‘The news is all out there. But it sucks. What happened to the people of this territory? No matter how much news is delivered in advance, isn’t it human psychology that Yong-yong shrinks a little when he faces a big guy?’
I immediately felt that way.
However, the people of this territory were not at all.
Of course, I could guess why.
‘Pudongi bells there, a hamangi that grows up to several tens of meters, and a bibeong that is about 100 meters long. I’ve been in contact with big kids too often.’
That’s why I wondered if I was used to this size (?).
A bitter laugh came out.
That bitter smile grew thicker after he got off Yongyong’s back.
“hey. What happened. How did you, a mere human, be able to control the bone dragon?”
faster than anyone else.
differently from others.
The red dragon Solitas, who came running with a frightened expression, was the first to greet us.
Without a chance to say hello, he asked with a threatening look.
Lloyd grinned.
“Somehow, that happened. Maybe he saved the soul of the owner of this skeleton from hell. Anyway, have you been escaping well?”
“of course. This body is a great dragon. Nothing is impossible for me.”
“Oh is that so?”
“of course. Now I have fully graduated from tree cutting and am cutting gravel.”
“oh.”
“After graduating from gravel, I plan to move on to metals and animal bones and horns, and then jewelry.”
“Oh oh.”
“After that, I’ll be able to find a wife for the first time by piling up a mountain of jewels.”
“Ohhhh. You are wonderful.”
“yes?”
“yes. Until then, you have to work hard to burn the sewage sludge.”
“….”
“Besides, since you’re a member of a great clan, haven’t you had a strange feeling lately?”
“Is it a strange feeling?”
“For example, something like feeling the aura of a very great being nearby.”
“I didn’t really feel that way.”
“Oh did you?”
“of course. There is no way you can feel the energy of a nobler and greater being than me in this pitiful human territory.”
“Ah yes. What would you do?”
Lloyd smirked again.
I asked, just in case.
I wondered if this young dragon felt the presence of the Dragon King Berkis.
After all, I thought that a newbie is still a newbie.
In any case, Solitas couldn’t pursue this further.
To be precise, he was stopped by the territory’s guards.
“Ugh! Where dare! When it comes to blacksmith’s apprenticeship, do you easily approach Master Lloyd!”
The senior knight of Yeongji and the commander of the engineering corps, Lord Bayern, came in.
Solitas flinched at that scream.
A look of anger appeared on the young dragon’s face.
But it was really only for a moment.
Perhaps he recalled the contents of the contract with this side, and quickly calmed down his expression and went back to being an ordinary blacksmith apprentice.
As Solitas retreated, Lord Bayern approached.
He showed a solemn and respectful example towards this side.
“It’s been a while, Master Lloyd.”
“okay. Long time no see Lord Bavaria. Hasn’t anything happened in the past?”
“of course. There were no major problems with the maintenance of the water supply, apartment, and other facilities entrusted by Master Lloyd.”
“Yeah, good job.”
Passed Lord Bavaria.
The guards, the Engineers Corps, and the Goal Guards, Young Ji-Min, flocked.
Their welcoming, respectful, and envious glances poured in.
I had a strange feeling inside.
‘When I first came here, I only received a lot of glares of contempt and hatred.’
It reminded me of the day I entered Lloyd Frontera’s body.
At that time, everyone’s attitude towards this side was just cold.
How cold and cold it is.
Although I used to treat this side on the outside because of my status.
The light of contempt was evident in everyone’s facial expressions and eyes.
There was even Young Ji-min, who started a fight just by looking at this from a distance and hurriedly went back to another road.
‘But it’s different now.’
The look of contempt changed to one of respect.
The expression of disgust became a smile of welcome and envy.
The same was true of the count couple who hurriedly ran in while trimming the flower garden.
“It’s Lloyd!”
“Is this okay?”
As soon as they ran in, the count couple warmly embraced each other.
How crazy did you run?
The hands of the two people who were out of breath were covered with soil from the flower garden that they had not yet shaken off.
thank you for that
I was overwhelmed and grateful.
To consider this as my son.
always warmly welcomed
For showing concern rather than hospitality and joy.
So I was even more grateful.
“Let’s see. Are you okay? huh?”
The hand of the countess grabbing the ball this way.
Perhaps, in her eyes, the Bone Dragon standing tall behind her did not even come into view.
Even if there is any huge and overbearing existence in the world.
The one who sees only the son in front of his eyes first.
I thought that kind of person might be my mother.
That was the look in her worried eyes as she looked at her face.
“I heard the news. how cold was it huh? Why did you do such a dangerous thing?”
“…ah ha ha Could it be that the leak of cold air also reached here?”
“of course. Do you know how much this mother surprised your father?”
“Um sorry.”
“Is it better than sorry? Weren’t you hurt?”
“Oh, that was a long time ago. I am fine like this.”
“Then what about aftereffects? Have you been to the doctor?”
“Ah yes. I said it was fine.”
“Then what about the trial? Wasn’t it scary?”
“ha ha ha….”
“So why did you do such a thing?”
“What happened….”
Lloyd laughed awkwardly.
I guess it’s like that too.
No matter how great this thing is.
Even if you come riding an enormous Bone Dragon.
In the end, I thought that in front of the existence of a mother, she could only be seen as an eternal child.
So, without realizing it, the back of my nose became cold.
‘mom.’
Suddenly, I remembered my mother in Korea.
It occurred to me that even if you were alive and saw me now, you would have sent the same worried questions with the same face as the countess.
Maybe that was it.
Lloyd clasped the Countess’s hands.
I looked back at the count with my eyes widened involuntarily.
The Count patted him on the shoulder with a deep look.
“Good job. Well done.”
“yes.”
Again, I cry unconsciously.
I made a promise in my heart.
I want to protect these people.
I want to be with these people forever.
So, I will work harder in the future.
I made a promise, swallowed my tears, and smiled brightly.
And one day, when I have a family, I finally put into my mouth what I really wanted to say.
“…I’m home.”
