Chapter 311. Praise chain effect (1)
“Actually, that can stop time!”
It was during an intimate family meal.
Lloyd’s courageous bomb declaration embroidered the table.
I didn’t say roundabout.
I wondered what life was like.
Rather, it would be better to reveal it shamelessly.
The count and couple had deep trust in him, so it would be convenient to do this.
It was Lloyd’s declaration that he made with that thought in mind.
But Lloyd overlooked one fact.
The countess and his wife’s trust in themselves.
It was the fact that it was much deeper, bigger, thicker, wider and dope than expected.
‘honey.’
‘Hmm?’
Upon hearing Lloyd’s declaration.
The count couple exchanged quick glances.
‘My child must have suffered a lot these days.’
‘Hmm, that’s how you see it too?’
‘yes. I would have said such a thing if I had felt so much pressure.’
‘I guess so. ha. Because everyone expects a lot. Because I don’t want to disappoint that expectation. I have to show you something somehow. I think he’s like that because he’s been working so hard.’
‘Tell me so. How hard it must have been alone.’
‘My heart hurts. I wonder if we’ve neglected him too much.’
‘that’s right. I feel sorry for him because he always seems to be trying hard alone and carrying everything on his back.’
‘It would be nice if we could be of some help.’
‘The more we do this, the better, right?’
‘Then let’s appease him for now.’
‘Yes it is.’
The couple are united.
Numerous glances reminiscent of telepathy were exchanged in the exchange of glances.
And the couple joined their hearts without words.
A single operational goal was set.
It was to pat my son.
The first shot of the soft offensive was opened by the Count.
“Hmm, that’s right. That’s great.”
“…Do you believe me right away?”
“Every believe. When was the last time you talked nonsense?”
“but. I kind of did.”
“right. How sincere you are in everything. The feeling of stopping time is not something that can be felt at any time.”
“…yes?”
“Actually, even this father sometimes feels as if time has stopped. Lately, it’s mostly when I help your mother trim the flower garden.”
“Is it a flower garden?”
“Mmm, flower fields. It’s like when you’re squatting in the scorching sun while you’re working on the soil. Beads of sweat flow on my forehead, flowers bloom beautifully, and my stomach makes a rumbling sound. At that time, I thought of this. Oh, I guess it’s time for lunch now.”
“Oh that….”
“But when I wake up with such thoughts and look up at the sky, I realize that there is still a long way left for lunch. At that time, I feel as if time has stopped and I have stopped.”
“….”
“Why is the flower garden like that? This father is really curious. So sometimes….”
“honey.”
“….”
said the countess softly.
At that moment, the Count shut his mouth.
Did he realize his mistake only belatedly?
The countess’s smile towards the count became meaningful.
“oh. They said they were happy when I helped them touch the soil together, but it must have been a lot of hard work in the flower garden.”
“….”
“What are you talking about? I’ll have to do it myself from tomorrow.”
“Oh no, ma’am, that’s not it….”
“What can I do? It seems like time has stopped It’s so boring. You can’t force someone who hates it and says it’s difficult.”
“I am happy! Seriously!”
“really?”
“…Big hum.”
“If it was that hard, why don’t you tell me.”
“Oh no, not to the extent of saying it’s difficult…Well, I thought it would be nice to ride a horse and get some cool air from time to time….”
“Then, would you like to take a break from working in the fields until tomorrow and go horseback riding?”
“Ho alone?”
“yes.”
“really?”
“yes.”
“Thank you!”
“It’s fine.”
The thrilled count and the happy-smiling wife.
Lloyd, who had been watching the scene, sighed deeply.
“It’s good to make the couple, Geum-seul, come closer. The thing I said about stopping time is….”
“Okay. This mother knows.”
“yes?”
“Don’t try too hard. Sometimes you can go slow. Or is it not possible to fail? So it’s okay. our son Even now, you are doing very well.”
“….”
“It’s okay if you can’t do grandiose things like stopping time or changing the world. Still, it doesn’t change the fact that you are our son. So son?”
“yes.”
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
“Oh, that’s not it….”
“Shhh. are you okay.”
“This mother also heard from your father. Didn’t you try alone to prevent the misfortune that the Dragon King told you about? Didn’t you dare to express your concern to erase us, and you were struggling by yourself like that? how hard would that have been How lonely you must have been.”
“….”
“It still is. Build a dam, build a great building called a jewel…It’s going to be a tough day. It will be more difficult in the future. So that’s the story. Don’t try to carry it all by yourself. When you are tired and tired, tell your mother and father honestly. Can you please?”
“…Ummm yes.”
“Yes, thank you. our son Let’s eat then. Mother’s nagging was unnecessarily long, right? The food will get cold.”
The Countess smiled heartily.
So Lloyd couldn’t just refute or explain.
It just wasn’t the mood.
I want to pat this.
I’m afraid this one will be difficult.
I’m afraid this side will be burdensome.
I couldn’t say anything about the smiles of the two people who were trying to pat their hearts so carefully as if they were considerate.
So Lloyd was unfair.
‘Keueouk…. I mean, believe me. I can really stop time?’
How am I supposed to understand this?
Lloyd grinned awkwardly and bit off the salad.
But it was the next day.
A strange air current began to circulate in the Prontera estate.
To be precise, strange rumors circulated among the residents.
“Brother, do you know? Well, Master Lloyd said he could stop time.”
“what? What are you talking about?”
“What are you talking about? That’s what I heard from my wife.”
“To Jesu?”
“yes.”
“Jesu-san, are you having a hard time these days?”
“Oh no. Even my wife and I heard it from somewhere else.”
“Somewhere else? where?”
“I heard from the maids of the lord’s mansion.”
“What did the maids say?”
“Well, I heard that Master Lloyd said that to the lord during a meal. Say you can stop time.”
“haha? really?”
In the shade of the tree, the woodcutter’s brothers spoke loudly.
On the other hand, in the grass, the shepherd boy said to the hunter girl.
“Hey, isn’t that right?”
“You know what.”
“Mister Lloyd says he stops time.”
“what? Did you eat something wrong?”
“no it’s not. It’s real.”
“Where did you hear that nonsense?”
“My older sister.”
“Sister Emily?”
“uh.”
“What did your sister say?”
“Oh Mr. You don’t believe my words, do you believe my sister’s words?”
“of course. Do you believe the shepherd boy that I am crazy?”
“….”
“Besides, since Emily said it, you have to believe it. Anyway, so what did my sister say?”
“Mister Lloyd confessed to the lord during the meal that he could stop time.”
“So what about the lord?”
“He said he smiled and soothed the young master. That’s why I heard that the young master had a slightly regretful expression.”
“Were you embarrassed?”
“huh.”
“then…Is that real?”
“right? Do you see it too? Don’t you think it’s nonsense that Master Lloyd stopped time?”
“of course. You are Master Lloyd. is not it?”
“Yeah, I can see it.”
The shepherd boy nodded.
At the same time, the bar owner was raising his voice at the tavern in Yeongji.
“Uh huh, who is this person? So, did you think Master Lloyd couldn’t do that much?”
“No, hey, master. I don’t mean that….”
“What does that mean! Thanks to the young master, you got the land in the Marez clearing, so you can escape from being a tenant farmer, huh? He said that he cultivated the land well and sent his son to Cremo to study? But do you doubt Master Lloyd’s ability?”
“Aigoo, owner. Don’t get excited….”
“Am I not excited now? Our Master Lloyd was suspected?”
“No, do you believe me too?”
“…believe?”
“I believe you.”
“Then get a drink.”
“….”
“Actually, I am. I owe a lot to Master Lloyd. do you know An ondol room built by the young master in the yard of our bar.”
“Oh you know.”
“My mother is Thanks to the ondol room, I had a very comfortable stay. Even now, when I think of that grace, my heart still thumps. That’s why. Do you know if there are people who doubt or gossip about our young master?”
“Oh, you know. I don’t know why.”
“anyway! If it’s our young boy, you’ll have to stop the time! That should be enough for our young boy Ahm! By the way! I knew from the very beginning that our young master was a person who would become great!”
“But the owner? Didn’t you complain every day that the young master behaved in a tavern before?”
“Ah, that was about that time!”
…It was like that.
In other words, rumors spread to the manor through the mouths of the maids who served Lloyd and the count couple’s meals.
Lloyd seems to be able to stop time.
Everyone readily believed that.
It was the exact opposite of what Lloyd was worried about in the first place.
Lloyd could clearly feel such an unexpected atmosphere.
It was through the message that popped right in front of my eyes.
Ding dong!
‘uh?’
Lloyd widened his eyes.
I was lying in bed trying to sleep.
But I couldn’t fall asleep, so I was tossing and turning.
Suddenly, an unexpected message popped up in my mind.
But the content was so unexpected.
[Rumors about you are spreading among the residents of Prontera Territory.] [
The residents of Prontera Territory sincerely believe in your claim that you can stop time and are looking forward to it.] [
Some cold-hearted residents say it is an unrealistic rumor, but Their opinions are being ignored in favor of the majority of public opinion.]
[The numerous achievements and accolades you have accumulated so far in the territory are bringing out this atmosphere.] [
Praise < The Executor of One Hundred Commandments > takes effect.]
[ Praise < Builder of the Fallen Territory > takes effect.]
[Praise < Savior of the Bells > takes effect.]
[Praise < Eldest Son of Prontera > takes effect.]
[Praise < Leader of the Weary > takes effect.]
[Praise < Red tissue paper or blue tissue paper > takes effect.]
[The six compliments above have a comprehensive linkage effect.]
[The people of the territory toward you It has risen from the < Like and Trust > stage to the < Love and Praise > stage.] [
Now, the residents of Frontera Territory will sincerely believe in you and follow you no matter what you do.]
‘What is this again?’
Lloyd shook his head involuntarily.
I looked at the message carefully with a feeling of disbelief.
I was able to understand right away.
‘oh my god.’
People believe in themselves
It’s not just believing, but sending blind faith to the level of praise.
Thanks to that, he doesn’t find his time freezing strange at all.
‘I didn’t even expect this much.’
Wouldn’t the act of stopping time seem strange?
Wouldn’t it be considered to be against the providence of nature?
So, wouldn’t it be misunderstood as witchcraft or black magic?
You could lose the trust of the local people.
Maybe it’s getting suspicious eyes.
I was worried and worried.
That’s why I told the count couple first.
Borrowing the authority of the lord and announcing a time freeze to the villagers.
I thought that it would be possible to reduce the confusion and misunderstanding that would arise due to the time freeze phenomenon.
‘But that was all for nothing. There’s no harm in using it right away from the time freeze.’
The trust of the residents towards him was beyond imagination.
When I thought of that, the corners of my mouth caught in my ears without even realizing it.
The days I worked hard in the estate until now.
I also thought that it wasn’t wasted time.
It was rewarding.
Thanks to that, I felt better and slept better.
I barely fell asleep at dawn and woke up early in the morning.
And waited.
have breakfast
Digestion is a bit slow.
The sun rose to its proper height.
Only then did Lloyd leave the mansion.
stood in the front yard.
‘The time is right. Because time freeze literally stops all time outside the realm. The position of the sunlight doesn’t change. So between 9 and 10 am, this time would be the best.’
If you use Time Freeze at night, it will be difficult.
Because the night will last forever
But what if time stopped at noon?
It will be hot all the time.
Then it becomes difficult to proceed with the work.
So Lloyd chose an hour in the morning that was moderately sunny but not too hot.
Standing tall in the front yard of the mansion.
Turned on the time freeze option window.
Ding dong.

It was time to start the construction of the dam and the jewel of truth complex in the gap of stopped time.

The office of Gabriel, the 1st-class high-ranking angel who oversees the affairs of the heavenly world.
A stack of urgent reports was placed on Gabriel’s desk.
On the surface of the report, this was written.
