The Greatest Architect

Paaaaaah!

The pale light flooded the room.

An unfamiliar silhouette began to wander.

He revealed his true identity with a powerful shock wave.

Pachychit!

“Droplets!”

Something cried out in secret.

Whitrick falls toward you.

Lloyd won't let go. He quickly received it with both hands.

A fluffy feel that falls on the palm of your hand.

I wonder what kind of hallucinations they picked this time.

Lloyd confirmed his appearance.

“Droplets!”

“Huh?"

A plump, 10-centimeter body.

Round, big hair.

Her eyes are round and dazzling.

A golden bobble of ribbons at the end of the tail.

“…… Snake? ”

The new phantom was a snake.

It was a second-in-command snake.

It was not insulting or demeaning.

It really was a chubby, two-timing idiot with a head to body ratio of exactly 1: 1!

“Are you really a snake? ”

“Droplets!”

I nod my head for a hit.

The smiling face tingled.

That made sense to me.

Lloyd asked.

“Is your name a bubble? ”

“Droplets? Droplets! ”

A new phantom, or a drop, that nods again.

I knew it.

‘Shouting your name is not uncommon. ’

The famous Picasso cartoon Picasso.

That made sense to me the relationship between the names of the hallucinations and the shouting.

As Lloyd thought about it, he looked at the bubble.

A snake with a second-in-command ratio.

I doubted if I could crawl properly.

But Lloyd did not make a rash decision.

He had already drawn a Podong.

The experience told me.

You can't just judge a hallucination by its appearance.

“Bubbles?”

“Droplets?”

“Do you have a manual or something? ”

“Drop? Drop! ”

Just in case, it was real.

The droplet opened its mouth wide.

There was a belly bag in his mouth.

When I opened the belly bag, I found 10 Sunflower Seed Sets and a gently folded note.

Lloyd read the note.

[DROP GUIDE]

[The droplet is a lovely rattlesnake. Take care of her with love and attention.]

[The bubble brings absolute trust and loyalty to you, the Summoner. Hallucinations are lifelong pets and another family member. Please don't indulge me.]

[The droplet can change its size by eating two kinds of sunflower seeds.]

[Red Sunflower: It makes the droplets gigantic. MAXIMUZATION Hold Time 12 Hours]

[Blue Sunflower: It makes the droplets look small. Please feed it before it exceeds the maximum maintenance time. If you skip 12 hours without eating blue sunflower seeds in the large-scale state, the bubble becomes exhausted. It comes back to its own little form, but it's not going to be able to do that again in 24 hours.]

[Two-color Sunflower Seed Set costs 1 RP.]

[A bubble can use a variety of skills while it is in a giant state.]

List of skills by bubble

[Eating dirt (Lv. 1)]

[Earth Digestion Acceleration (Lv. 1)]

[Drain Steel Kick (Lv. 1)]

‘Phew, what the hell. Eating dirt? Accelerating fire? Extracting steel? ’

Lloyd opens his mouth, looking at the droplet's skill list.

It was an unquestionable combination of skills.

‘You can't mean eating dirt and chewing steel...' ’

I couldn't believe it.

He pulled out the red sunflower.

I gave it to the droplet as a test.

“Bubbles?”

“Droplets?”

“Would you like to try this? ”

“Droplets!”

As if a drop was waiting for me, I asked the sunflower.

Lloyd drops it to the ground. He quickly retreated.

Soon, the drop swallowed the red sunflower seeds.

Phew!

“Droplets!”

It's getting bigger.

A chubby, two-legged rattlesnake 5 meters long.

‘Yes, I expected this much. ’

It was Lloyd who had already experienced Podong.

He approaches the huge bubble.

“Bubbles?”

“Droplets!”

“Would you like to try a skill as a test? ”

“Droplets?”

“Eating dirt, digesting things, that sort of thing. Can you do that? ”

“Drop?”

The droplet's eyes became blurry.

He did not doubt his abilities.

Lloyd is small.

‘Well, that's a refreshing response. The bubble is a little different from the Podong. ’

It seemed like it.

He changed his tone to a little more favorable.

“Of course I trust your abilities. I just want to see it. I thought it would be cool. ”

“Droplets?”

“I mean it.”

“Droplets!”

Then the bubble's expression cleared.

I felt better and my whole body twitched.

Then he bows his big, round head.

You open your mouth to the floor of the training ground.

“Drop!”

Bobstone! Well! Gulp!

... Mom, eat her dirt.

Is that what I look like when I'm eating chicken?

The drops were delicious to the point of thinking about.

Eat, swallow, swallow.

After eating like that for a long time, I tried.

Then suddenly, I started waving my chubby, short tail.

“Drops! Drops! ”

Twinkle, twinkle!

The Ribbon Bell at the tail makes a loud noise.

At the same time, the droplet raises its tail.

You make an empowering face.

Next moment.

Vocalogy!

It launched a thin, long, crimsonly seared steel rod directly behind it!

“ ……. ”

This is not a hoax.

Lloyd suppresses his confusion.

Instead, I examined the steel spit the drop emitted.

Only then can he truly wield the power of the droplet.).

‘This is awesome. ’

The clicks that the droplets fired were really steel.

But it wasn't just a clumsy move.

"It's iron."

It was about 10 meters long.

It was similar in thickness to the thumb.

It was consistent.

There was no jagged spot at all.

The thickness was completely constant from the beginning to the end.

In other words, it was perfectly refined steel itself!

‘Even incredibly hot. ’

It was still cold as steel.

The heat was still there, so it was red.

The meaning was clear.

‘I can cut it before it gets cold. You can cut or bend to any length you want. ’

That is, you can cut it or bend it to size on site and use it as construction material immediately.

It meant that steel could be used as a free material.

Feel free to sprinkle dirt on that too!

"Are you out of your mind? ’

I liked it too much.

I was unbelievably cool.

If you think about it, it wasn't just pulling out steel.

You can eat dirt.

That is, we can sell the underground tunnel.

So what if you put the droplet in the shield technique you originally planned?

‘A bubble in the shield device feeds on the soil. Penetrate the tunnel. Maybe I should cut through the steel at the same time... So let go of the iron. Then the blacksmith cuts the rebar right off the spot. Workers can create and erect segments to support the shaft, namely plate walls, in the field. Once the plank is erected, the shield advances again, the droplet feeds on the soil, pulls out the steel.... ’

A work plan was set up in my head.

The more I thought about it, the more I was amazed.

‘If this plan is realized, we can reduce the construction period to one-tenth. ’

It was just Lloyd who thought it would be nice if he could come out with the ability to dig.

But it was so much more awesome when I pulled it out.

Lloyd looks back at the bubble, feeling a little numb.

“Bubbles?”

“Droplets?”

“Oh, you're amazing. ”

“Drop?”

“No, I think it's an invitation. ”

“Droplets!”

Lloyd raises his thumb.

The droplet smiled brightly.

* * *

The construction preparation was firmly applied.

It was from the day I got the droplet by random extraction.

Lloyd designed the shield device to fit into the bubble.

Segments, the steel construction of the panels, were also fitted there.

It was because the droplet was the key to this construction.

“Po-dong! Po-dong! ”

“Droplets?”

“Podong!”

“Drop!”

Fortunately, Podong and Bubble were well acquainted.

It's a hamster and a snake.) I was worried that it would happen, but after a while, it was just a slope.

Maybe it was because of the same fantasy.

Mulberry hamsters and chubby second-class rattlesnakes quickly became united.

All day long, I rolled the floor full of mulberries and chubby bodies. Together, we sunbathed, fell asleep, sunbathed, and fell asleep again.

‘Phew. I hope you like it. I was praised for being cute even though I was lying around all day. ’

As the two illusions rolled around, Lloyd was busy moving.

I went to the forge every day.

I've been stirring up blacksmiths all day.

Directly oversaw the construction of the designed shield device.

Thanks to you, about ten days later, the shield device was finally completed.

It was a cylindrical device that looked like it was laying down an elongated collagen pierced up and down.

The cylinder is about three meters in diameter.

In the center of the front of the cylinder lies a bubble (?) I had a place to go. Around it, a rigid support structure to support the cylinder's exterior wall was contorted in the shape of a honeycomb.

Thereafter, there was space for the workers.

There, the workers were protected by the shield structure, and would harvest and cut the droplets' steel shavings, steel shavings. We were able to erect a plate to prevent the collapse of the shaft in an instant.

‘That's enough. ’

Next was the mobilization of labor.

Lloyd made up the workforce.

Thanks to the baron's permission, Baron Frontera, things went on for four years.

A blacksmith group to cut hot steel on site.

Even an engineer to assist the blacksmith and advance the shield device.

I finished my human makeup in no time.

Immediately commenced work.

True Power of Shield Device (?) emitted this light.

“Drops! Drops! ”

The droplet in the shield mechanism shifts its large head.

I swallowed hot rocks and dirt with my mouth wide open.

A short while later, my stomach started to flutter.

I waved my short tail vigorously.

Twinkle, twinkle!

The bubble of the tail resonates.

“Coming out!”

The blacksmiths are nervous about Lloyd's cry.

Soon, the droplet's steel furnace was shot in the form of steel.

Fire in the hole!

Steel muscles that glide and squeak.

“Hurry up before it gets cold. Xaviel!”

Lloyd shouts.

Xaviel moves in his cry.

I took off my coat.

I drew my sword.

Shhh!

Longsword has the same cool glow as Xaviel's expression.

It falls vertically like lightning.

It was toward the steel steel.

Tsk, tsk!

Javier, a high-ranking Sword Expert, struck down with all his might.

Longsword cuts the burnt steel so neatly.

It wasn't once either.

“Hey! You're doing great with your measurements, right? ”

“Of course.”

Tsk, tsk, tsk! Stone bank! Stone bank! Bitch!

Xaviel's Longsword makes a dazzling move.

You are relentlessly lowered towards the steel.

In the original "Knight of Iron Blood", it was a sword of iron that handed down numerous powerful enemies.

But now it was being used to cut through the steel of the Fantasy Bell.

The knife teasing was as neat and confusing as Han Seok-Bong's mother, who cut bread every night, or Mrs. Kim, who worked her whole life at Kim Bob Heaven.

Chubby, chubby!

A long, short, decimal piece of steel rolled around.

They were all the same dimensions as Lloyd's.

Lloyd raises his thumb.

“Great! There won't be a single error in the seed leaf. ”

“… Thank you. ”

Good old Lloyd.

Slice iron to slice (?) Xaviel sighs deeply in one's own life.

It was the blacksmith's turn next.

“Move before the steel gets cold. Assemble!”

“Yes, sir! Younza! ”

Under Lloyd's command, the blacksmiths make swift moves.

Xaviel bends the cut steel to the measurements.

Tied up, tied up.

Fixed and assembled.

A step-by-step plate wall was formed. It's up.

A tightly woven cylindrical plate is sized to match the inner surface of the shield.

Lloyd, who confirmed it, cries out.

“Shield, forward! ”

“Forward!”

Dozens of engineers joined forces.

The lever connected behind the shield is forcefully pushed.

The heavy shield, loaded with drops and workers, slowly moves forward.

The droplet advanced exactly one meter into the dug space.

Then the one meter long plate remained behind.

Cough!

The shield carrying the shaft passes forward.

Then the ceiling of the shaft and the debris and rocks on the wall fluttered.

But it didn't collapse.

The wall of the shaft and the ceiling were supported by a plank in an empty space where the shield had left.

Everything was as Lloyd planned.

‘Good, it works. ’

Lloyd's eyes were filled with confidence.

Lloyd's voice was more energized than ever before.

At the same time, his eyes looked more closely forward.

Tsutztsu!

Intermediate surveying skill that is activating constantly.

Thanks to this, Lloyd was able to look ahead at the 5 metres he was planning to sell the shaft.

What's the situation on the foreground?

No traffic, no dangerous gases.

I was able to direct the work while looking into it clearly.

It really was a ‘forecast of the front of the house’ in real time.

It was a state-of-the-art technique such as elastic wave inspection (TSP, HSP) and reflection photography used to explore the ground in the field of the modern world.

“Come on, keep it tight! ”

“Let's go!”

“Droplets!”

Along with Lloyd's command and the strong spirit of the workers, the shrieks of the drops echo in succession.

The shout dug deeper and deeper into the side of the mountain.

It was a rapid construction process.

So no one knew.

who will greet them at the end of this tunnel that we're digging.
