The World Best Engineer novel - chapter 31

“Father, go ahead!”

Doo doo doo! Arosh ran. The worm-like tendons twitched. He hit the ground with his muscular calves as thick as a streetlight. The size, reminiscent of the Ural Mountain Boar, rushed at an unbelievable speed. Then the larger orc from the other side responded enthusiastically.

“Son, Kyuik!”

Kudo Doo Doo! A middle-aged orc came running. The serpent-like tendons blazed. He slammed into the ground with his muscular legs thicker than a power pole. A rice cake pole as huge as the Tunguska nuclear brown bear was rushing in the dust. And it crashed. Tuqua! It was a pitiful sight for the air molecules that might have been caught between the two muscular masses. However, apart from this sentiment, Arosh and a middle-aged orc, the two rich men embraced each other and had a fierce (?) reunion.

“You bastard Arosh, Kook!”

“Father, Kyuik!”

“Are you okay, Kyuik?”

“I’m fine! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“It’s good. But don’t cry, son.

“Are you talking about a moment like this, Quik?”

“Of course. If he, who is emaciated due to hardship, cries recklessly, nutrients are leaked out and his muscles are reduced.”

“Hey, muscle loss, boo!”

“If you’re a warrior, shouldn’t you just avoid that, Quik?”

“As expected, your father is wise, Kyuik!”

… … No, I think the brain is more like dumbbells than being wise. Lloyd took a deep breath. The appearance of the rich orcish people sharing the sun in full swing. If I threw it at the local gym, it seemed like it would warm up about a ton of the three major workouts. Even then, as soon as we met, we started talking about muscle. In the novel Iron-Blooded Knight, orcs were called heavy muscle idiots, and I thought that expression was quite accurate. A smirk came out of nowhere. On the other hand, suddenly, I remembered what had happened a week ago. ♣

“Will that plan work?”

“Yes, maybe.”

Lloyd nodded. She picked up the kettle. he tilted Slowly, clear tea water filled the baron’s cup.

“As I said, Arosh trusts me completely. I see it as a life saver. Besides, I heard that he was the chief’s son.”

“Your son? Chieftain?”

“yes.”

Lloyd picked up his teacup. she tilted He took a sip and passed it over her neck.

“Perhaps he will acknowledge his son’s coming-of-age achievements.”

“Because of the head of the queen ant… … That’s right.”

“Yeah, I put a spoon on it.”

Co-authoring, co-hunting. I was thinking about giving it a title like that. You said you caught the queen ant with Arosh. So he planned to ask him to be recognized as a warrior too.

“But will the chieftain easily acknowledge you?”

“It wouldn’t be a good thing. Guess I’ll have to try it out. In any case, the benefits of success are too great.”

It was true. What if you are recognized as a warrior by the orc chieftain? With the support of Arosh, 120 orc warriors can be mined. A strong and valiant 120 orcs. I will mine coal without getting tired. more capable than a thousand human miners.

“Besides, there will be almost no labor costs other than room and board. It’s that high-end workers are free.”

“But wouldn’t it be dangerous? It’s a little bit difficult to go directly to the Orc Village… … .”

“it’s okay. Arosh, the son of the chieftain, regards me as a benefactor.”

“Uh… … .”

The baron’s expression darkened. He didn’t like Lloyd’s risk. Orcs are a wild and wild race. Do you want to go to their land? I wanted to dry it out if possible. After that, Lloyd worked hard to persuade the hesitant Baron. It was a battle of stubbornness between the Baron and Lloyd. Of course, the winner was Lloyd.

“… … good night. Instead, there are conditions.”

“What is it?”

“Take the soldier. About thirty people.”

The baron’s argument was that at least that level of escort would give you peace of mind. Lloyd accepted the Baron’s terms. An escort of thirty soldiers. He would have been as good as insurance in case it was possible.

“All right. Then, in addition to the 30 soldiers of the engineering corps, I’ll take the Arahan Gyeonggi with me.”

So the preparations for departure proceeded smoothly. Packed with camping gear and food. We were able to leave the next morning. A couple of barons came out to see them off to the front door of the mansion. He looked like he was genuinely concerned about this. I felt sorry for a while. But that mind was quickly put to rest. If it wasn’t for him, he would have fallen like the original. They were a couple who would soon die.

“Then, I will go.”

He greeted me with a slightly complicated feeling. That’s how I started a baron writer. He crossed the Eastern Mountains with his party. Arosh was a capable warrior and guide. Thanks to his familiarity with the geography of the mountain range, his party was able to move away from dangerous monster habitats. Thanks to you, we arrived at the Orc Village safely at the end of the ten-day journey. And finally… … .

“Kwiik! nice to meet! If you’re speaking in Akush, I’m Arosh’s father, Quik!”

… … Hundreds of Orcs in the village were watching and shaking hands with the chief of the Orc tribe.

“Yeah, nice to meet you.”

“I heard from Arosh. You said you saved my son, did you?”

“Yeah, somehow.”

“good night! Then you are also my benefactor, kuik!”

“At the same time, a warrior who hunted the queen ant with your son.”

“… … What, cuddly?”

Akush tilted his head. Lloyd blinked at Habiel. She untied her cloth that Habiel was carrying on her back. A black mass as big as her gym gym ball appeared.

“It is the head of a queen ant. I took it as a loot.”

“Koo, Kook?”

Akush’s large neck wiggled up and down. It was not only Chieftain Akush who was surprised. Hundreds of orcs gathered around him as well.

“Cooky? What is that, Kook!”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a beast ant head that big, boo!”

“It looks like it’s going to be ferocious, Kook!”

“It looks like it will be strong, Kyuik!”

“It looks delicious, kuik!”

“… … There is a rice thief here, Kwiik!”

In a word, the orc village fell into admiration and commotion in an instant. You must not miss this moment. Don’t give yourself time to make a sound judgment. If you push the atmosphere once you’ve been shot, you’ll have an advantage. Lloyd, having judged that, said quickly.

“I was exploring the burrows of beast ants. I found the exhausted staggering queen ant. So it was hard to catch. But there was an orc iron sword lying near the queen ant.”

“Iron sword made of oak, huh?”

“That’s right. It was the sword of your son Arosh.”

After speaking, Lloyd glanced at Arosh. Arosh snorted her.

“What the benefactor is right, Kuik!”

“So, does that mean that you, son, lost all your strength by fighting the queen ant, and then the benefactor caught the queen ant, Quik?”

“Yes, Kook. It’s like fighting together, Kyuik!”

“Ummm, Kyuik… … .”

Chief Akush’s thick eyelids twitched. His dark green eyes alternately directed his son, Lloyd, and the queen ant heads. He recognized the head of the queen ant at a glance.

‘It’s true, Kuk.’

He was a chieftain who had struggled with beast ants all his life. They knew better than anyone how powerful the queen of their pack was. She said that her own son had hunted such a formidable enemy. The chief’s thick pectoralis major trembled with emotion.

“Son, Kook!”

“Yes, Kyuik!”

“Congratulations! You are a warrior now! In the name of the chieftain, I, Akush, declare that the orc Arosh has become a dignified warrior of the clan, Quik!”

“Thank you, Kuik!”

“good night. As a commemoration, today is the lower body, kuik!”

“A man’s lower body, boo!”

As soon as Akush’s command fell, Arosh ran to one side of the village. He carried a large statue placed there on his shoulder. A huge size that would be enough to weigh 0.5 tons. It was even a gilded statue. It wasn’t just that. In addition to the gilded statues, there were a lot of luxurious things around them, and they were being abused (?) with exercise equipment. A chandelier that is used as a weight for weights. The rod embedded in the middle was a pillar decorated with pearls. Even a treasure chest full of gold coins was used as a full kettlebell!

‘Huh, crazy.’

A scene came to mind in the novel Iron-Blood Knight, describing how capable the orcs were warriors and marauders. But in reality, I added it.

‘It must be the loot accumulated over the decades. But the Orcs have no place to use them even if they have gold and silver treasures.’

🥺 Gold and silver treasures that have been turned into exercise equipment. A gilded statue of Arrosh grunting after doing a squat. When I saw everyone, my mouth watered. Meanwhile, Arosh sniffed and snorted while carrying the statue. Each time he stood up and repeated his sitting, showing off his anaconda-like thigh muscles. A happy smile appeared on the lips of Chief Akush seeing such a son.

“Did you see it? Today is a happy day, Kyuik.”

The chief turned around. He reached out a hand like a pot lid and placed it on his shoulder.

“Thank you, human. You not only saved my son, but you also showed the courage to catch the queen ant together, Quik.”

“Then, am I recognized as a warrior?”

Lloyd asked. Sometimes you just need to be blatant. In the first place, you should ask this outright. Chief Akush nodded willingly to see if it had worked.

“Of course! I, Akush, are human beings in the name of the chieftain… … Kook?”

“This is Lloyd. Lloyd Frontera.”

“… … I declare that the human Lloyd Frontera has been recognized as the dignified warrior of the tribe, Quik!”

Finally, Acush’s proclamation fell. Hundreds of orcs gathered around cheered together. And chieftain Akush exclaimed as if it was natural.

“The human benefactor has become a warrior! As a commemoration, the human benefactor is also lower body today, kuik!”

“… … Yes?”

for a moment. This rice cake man. what did you just say

‘Aren’t you supposed to be asking me to do squats with that 500 kilogram statue on my back?’

Lloyd swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

But how well the ominous premonition fits. Chieftain Akush patted him on the back and grinned.

“let’s go! I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll be with you too, Kyuik!”

“… … .”

“A man’s lower body, squeaky!”

“… … .”

you are the sky My eyes darkened. The cheers around him were only getting bigger. Lloyd felt an embarrassment that surged like her bone broth.

“there?”

“Cook?”

“I like to exercise and I’ve heard quite a bit of heavy stuff in the field, but that’s a little… … .”

“Cooky? What do you mean, Quik?”

“I think it’s too heavy for me.”

Lloyd said frankly. It was true. He was quite confident in carrying heavy things. In addition, thanks to the sharp mind method, he was able to exceed the physical ability of ordinary people. But it wasn’t enough to laugh and squat with a frostbite that weighed well over 500 kilograms, an uncomfortable-looking statue!

“Thanks for the exercise recommendation, but is there something lighter?”

I didn’t want to break my back or leg like this. So she asked. However, I could see Chief Akush’s expression hardening.

“What? You can’t carry that, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Even though I was recognized as a warrior, are you ok?”

“of course… … .”

“It’s ridiculous that a warrior can’t carry that, cuddly!”

“… … .”

“It’s a tool that is a light axis in the village. For young warriors to warm up. But if you can’t take it, you don’t deserve to be called a warrior, Quik.”

“Hey, I’m not an orc.”

“Still, a warrior must do it, Quik.”

All of a sudden, Akush was smirking. Lloyd’s expression hardened.

‘shit.’

Somehow I thought things were going well. I didn’t expect to be tackled here because of the unexpected squat. He shook his head hard.

‘Except for not being able to do the lower body or that exercise, it’s a warrior’s recognition, and everything seems to be blown away. What do we do?’

It was too sad to give up here. Just being recognized as a warrior will give you great benefits. 120 sturdy orc warriors could be used as free miners. I didn’t want to give up that easily. Of course, I hated it even more when I broke my back while bluffing too much.

‘I have to find a way.’

No squats Instead, it should appeal to something else. You have to make use of the skills you are capable of. So, you will need to be recognized for their qualifications. Lloyd’s eyes moved quickly. He looked all over the Orc Village. We gathered all the information that caught our eye, such as the environment and their tendencies. classified. analyzed. Then, suddenly, there was a point to point out.

‘for a moment.’

His eyes, which were moving quickly, stopped. It was a pit made in the corner of the village.

“What is that?”

He pointed to the pit and asked. Chief Akush’s reply came back.

“that? It’s a meat dumping pit, kuik.”

“Are you throwing away the meat?”

“Yes. Throw it out there and bury it with soil, kuik.”

Akush nodded his head.

“I throw away what I can’t eat because it hurts. If you eat something like that, you will get a stomach ache. I am weak and cannot exercise. If you don’t exercise, you’ll lose muscle.”

Suddenly, there was a deep regret in the chief’s voice.

“It’s very unfortunate. If you don’t throw it away and eat it all, you’ll gain that much muscle. It’s always sad, Kukik.”

“okay?”

“Yes, Kook.”

Akush had a dry mouth. The corners of Lloyd’s lips rose slightly.

‘This is it.’

Suddenly, the contents of the middle part of the novel Iron Blooded Knight came to mind. At some point, quite some time has passed since now. After repeated adventures, Habiel confronts the orc tribe alone. He demonstrates his wits in a tough fight and surrenders. The base was the one that interfered with the hunting of the Orc tribe.

‘The wilderness where the orcs live is barren. Farming is not possible at all, and gathering enough food cannot be obtained. So, the dependence on hunting is very high. Almost all food is prepared by hunting.’

Hunting formidable large monsters in the wilderness. The Orc tribe prepared food like that. To do that, I had to be more courageous. However, there was no technology to preserve the food prepared so hard. I just knew how to stack it up and eat it. The food you have prepared will go bad quickly.

‘Habiel, realizing that, diligently interfered with the hunting of the Orcs. Then, within ten days, the orc village was struggling with food.’

Food could not be accumulated due to poor preservation technology. Every time I failed to hunt, the food I got was cut off. There will inevitably be a food shortage. Lloyd recalled the story in such a novel.

“There is one thing I would like to suggest.”

“Suggestion, ok?”

“That’s right.”

He looked up at Chief Akush and said.

“Instead of skipping lower body workouts, I will build a cool food reserve, so please recognize me as a warrior.”

They provide a generous amount of money for the construction with gold and silver treasures that are rolling in there. He was recognized as a warrior, and he took the workers as well. At the same time, I received an order for construction and paid for the construction cost. Eat pheasants and eat eggs. Win a fight and eat Baron. Shop and get coupons. After completing the calculation, an evil smile appeared on Lloyd’s lips.
