A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

Chapter 284

284 – Great Depression Disorder (5)

Even though they say people fall into a dreamland because of false gold, reality is important to me.

‘Rather, it is easier for people who value reality to wake up from a dream.’

Reality and dreams.

For me, reality is a better world than a dream, but for others, this may not be the case.

It’s a given.

Because I’ve been doing various things for nine and a half years, there may be people whose lives have been ruined because of me.

For example, in the case of Marquis Zeros Barcel, in his dreams, he may still be able to enjoy a happy life with his fiefdom.

Even though he died.

Even if it is not necessarily the Marquis of Zeros, the surviving family members of the Knights of Golden Dawn under Zeros may want more in the dream.

Instead of being kicked out of Barcelona and living in a humiliating life in an imperial-style brick house while cultivating land in Lembury, you might live a life of enjoying the traditional luxury and vanity of Nostrum based on the enormous amount of gold coins earned by the head of the Knights of the Golden Dawn.

‘No one really knows.’

A dream is literally a dream.

Since it is not a dream that you create on your own like Baek-eun, you cannot infer the content of the dream.

I just compile the information by combining what people who have experienced dreams say.

The war between Nostrum and the Empire.

The betrayal of the Counts of Sirene.

Nostrum’s Last Guardian, Gibraltar.

One of the reasons why Gibraltar in the dream was able to withstand the empire was because the canyon was tightly closed.

In that sense, for those who want the world in their dreams to become reality, the current situation may be crazy and on the verge of jumping.

Goo goo goo.

A loud vibration echoes along with the sound of blasting.

An imperial excavator digs into the ground with the sound of a magical engine, spits out a pile of dirt behind it, and continues to advance toward the empire.

“It’s amazing to see it again.”

“Yes. Passionate.”

I visited the Gorge with Sir Robert.

If I had to, I tried to organize my thoughts by doing simple labor by digging the canyon with a shovel.

“The Empire. Don’t you think I’m selling it too hard?”

“The intention is to destroy the entire canyon before Gray Gibraltar changes his mind.”

After the canyon development project was approved with Queen Naria’s permission.

The Habsburg emperor mobilized all his capabilities and began developing the Gibraltar Gorge.

The fact that ‘that person’ was assigned to the person in charge shows how much attention is being paid to this canyon.

“Ahh…! Are you here, His Excellency the Governor of Barcelona?”

A middle-aged man wearing an imperial suit and a helmet-like helmet on his head and he hurriedly ran towards me.

On the man’s left arm was an armband with the corporate pattern of Iferia Development Industry Corporation.

“Franklin Tennessee, head of the canyon development project. Is that right?”

“Yes, yes! Oh my, how you remember my name. It’s an honor, Excellency the Governor.”

It is definitely not easy for a middle-aged man to appear in such a low manner to a 19-year-old child.

Even if I turn 20 years old in just a few months.

‘There is status and class before age.’

Franklin Tennessee.

Among Ipheria Industries, one of the senior executives of the project team called ‘Canyon Development Industry Corporation’.

“Yes. That’s right. By order of His Majesty, Ipheria Company… I am Franklin Tennessee, Director of Canyon Development Research Institute of Iperia Industries’ Development Industry Corporation.”

And on top of this man-

“Has Empress Erwin returned to the imperial palace?”

“Yes, yes. I guess the entire industry is experiencing problems due to the golden crisis…”

There is Empress Erwin.

In other words, this man is Empress Erwin’s person.

‘He has the ability, but it’s too late to recruit him. I have no choice but to outsource it.’

At the same time, when I was a traitor to Gray, he was the person who entrusted almost 70% of authority over the development of Gibraltar.

“If you are coming to see the Empress, you should go to the Imperial Capital…”

“I just came to see you in person. I just came to check how the canyon development is progressing.”

“Ah, is that so…”

When the director of Tennessee gave off a hint that I was not going to leave easily, he gave me a subtle look of reluctance.

You won’t like it.

The people at the site were originally in charge of the construction – Zhen Zhou, who was also the contract owner – and in addition, the person who was expected to be the next emperor of the empire came to inspect the site by surprise.

In the first place, he is Empress Erwin’s son-in-law, and is also the one who said to proceed with the development of the canyon.

“Well, I don’t know where to start to show you…” “Hmmm.”

Since it came without warning, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

“Right now, the canyon development is mainly focused on roads, right?”

“Oh, yes. Can you see it over there?”

The Tennessee Minister pointed to one side of the direction stretching north, where the Empire’s magic builders were making loud magic engine noises.

“Tunnels are being drilled in the direction of the canyon. It has been confirmed that the hole drilled in the direction of the canyon opens in the direction of the Empire, so all we have to do is construct as planned.”

Before undertaking large-scale construction, the empire first checked the problems that had plagued the empire for 500 years.

A cliff that never cuts in the direction of the empire.

What happens if you drill a hole in the direction of the nostrum?

‘It was pierced.’

I dug a hole through the wall from the first gateway and then circled back towards the empire, and the hole was easily dug.

At first, the shovel did not go in.

However, when the Sword Master myself took a shovel and filled it with aura and pierced the hole, ordinary workers could shovel as if the protective layer had been removed from that area.

‘The gateway and the cliffs were filled with the magic of the golden dragon, but it was not a place where disassembly was impossible.’

Even though the hole was created, it was still uncut in the direction of the empire, as if magic was protecting it. However, the fact that a hole was opened in Nostrum was enough to proceed with the business in earnest.

‘This is it.’

Before regression.

At the end, when the princess of the ruined kingdom took only me to shovel in the Gibraltar Gorge, saying she was looking for something of her, I really wanted to hit her on the head with the shovel.

It was so desperate, but what was the point of digging into this canyon with the power of just two people?

“What is the progress of the tunnel?”

“If we dig for just one more month, the hole will open. If we strengthen the walls and take good care to prevent them from collapsing, we will be able to pass through the tunnel as quickly as possible and go to places other than the canyon.”

Goo goo goo.

For a canyon that prevented imperial attacks for 500 years, it is being dismantled too easily in the direction of Gibraltar.

“Were there any problems in the middle due to Nostrum’s mysterious miracle?”

“Fortunately, there were none. Really, I was very fortunate that there were no pillars with magic circles engraved on them or gold gushing out.”

“I’m really glad.”

“Yes. I know you shouldn’t say things like this at a construction site, but…”

The Tennessee director whispered in a very cautious voice.

“…Today is the 74th day without an accident…!”

“Don’t say it.”

“Yes?”

“There are strange superstitions in Nostrum.”

I pointed to the ground where the Tennessee warden was walking.

“When a clerk working in a store with no customers says, ‘There are no customers today,’ customers will flock in, or the moment he mentions the OO day without an accident…”

“aaa!!”

“Accidents happen.”

“…Your Excellency the Governor.”

The Tennessee director pointed in the direction of the screaming workers, as if feeling unfair.

“Strictly speaking, it didn’t happen because His Excellency the Governor-General came to the scene?”

“There’s nothing I can’t say.”

“Me, Tennessee. A man who says what he has to say even if his head is dying right now.”

“And what if I die?”

“If you die like that, your reputation will be tarnished.”

“As expected of someone who works under Empress Erwin.”

“I also heard about His Excellency the Governor…No, more than that!!”

The Tennessee warden suddenly moved his body and hid behind Sir Robert, who was just standing still.

“Please save me! No, please take care of that!”

“Yes. You came because of me, so I have to deal with it.”

Front.

The golden slave, the person who changed the 74th day without an accident into the 0th day without an accident, is creaking and coming towards me.

“But when that thing appears, should we consider it an accident?”

“Choose Excellency the Governor! Please!”

“Don’t you think it’s strange? The imperial workers who are trying to destroy the canyon don’t touch anything, not even the construction magic tools at all. They only come to kill Gibraltar.”

“Isn’t that all because Saint Geo Nostrum gave the order to kill Gibraltar? Those ghosts are just puppets who blindly follow the king’s orders!”

“…”

Without realizing it, I clapped my hands towards the Tennessee director.

“It would be great if everyone, whether Imperial or Nostrum, had the same common sense as you.”

“I’m going to tell this to everyone I know, so please deal with it quickly… Ugh!!”

The Tennessee warden screamed and trembled at the golden heroic spirit that moved like a zombie.

For an empire where monsters called ‘undead’ are rarely seen, they are a walking mystery, so I understand to some extent their fear.

“How do I handle it? …Huh?”

The moment I tried to pull out my wand.

Clutter.

The golden hero stopped his actions

He stopped walking at the same pace he was walking towards me, holding his sword.

“Recently, a series of things that I don’t even know about are happening. Why is that happening again?”

Golden Heroic Spirit.

False gold.

And now-

From noble mtl dot come

“Hey, Mr. Governor.”

Major General Tennessee slipped out from behind Sir Robert and whispered softly.

“Isn’t there a place over there? It’s the place where the canyon was cut.”

“…Hmm?”

“There was a protruding part, so I smoothed out the unsightly part a little. Doesn’t that monster’s behavior seem like it was stepping on gold?”

“I stepped on gold.”

It feels like I’ve stepped on a forbidden line, but why does it sound different to me?

“…Then.”

I took a step to the side for a moment and got closer to the canyon.

“Young master!”

“Cho, Excellency the Governor!!”

The distance got closer, but the golden slave just stared at me and didn’t move at all.

“Let’s see. If you look at the top of the canyon… It’s clearly carved well. But, if you look at the fact that you can’t get in just because it’s here…”

I closed to the canyon and walked right in front of the golden slave.

“It seems certain that there is a mysterious ‘end’ to this canyon.”

It was nothing special, but I gained confidence.

“Tennessee Major General.”

Suddenly.

“Make a proposal to Empress Erwin. Increase the manpower for canyon development by two or three times more than now.”

“Well, if you do that… “

“Are you short on budget?”

I picked up the false gold that had its head and heart cut at the same time, losing its shape and slowly scattering.

“Here, there is gold. This is the budget.”

“…”

“It’s a joke. Don’t be so blunt. Nostrum jokes don’t work at all.”
