The Greatest Architect

“Podong!”

A hole in the wall of dirt.

Through the hole, Podong pops out his head.

I smiled at Lloyd, who was sitting on the wall.

Lloyd opens his mouth in disbelief.

“Podong...? ”

“Podong!”

“Really, is that you? ”

“Po-dong! Po-dong! ”

Podong nodding forcefully.

In the little round head of Podong, what had recently occurred came to mind.

♣

He was too bored until a few days ago.

Lloyd had been working on mining development all day.

The droplet used to leave all day while being mobilized for construction.

But he had nothing to do with it.

I had to spend my daily life in a room.

It was good at first, but I couldn't help it if I kept going like that.

The shivering boredom.

Eventually, I ran out of Lloyd's room.

The mansion was wandering around.

Then I encountered the woman who was growing flowers in the flower garden of the mansion.

It was the baroness, Lloyd's mother.

The baroness was very pleased to meet her.

And I said,

‘Thank you so much. A few mice have been wrecking the flower garden lately. You're related to them, right? Would you be able to find them if you could? Ask those kids not to ruin the flower garden for me. ’

... was a request.

Of course I accepted.

I didn't have anything else to do anyway.

After accepting my request, I was excited and ran to the grass.

Since then.

Podong searched for rats near the mansion for days.

Finally, I caught a swarm of rats and met with their leader.

On the spot, I made a modest offer to the leader of the rats.

Podong? Podong! ’

The baroness asked me not to use the baroness' flower field as a playground.

However, the leader of the rats replied:

Chop? Chop! '

I have no idea what you're talking about.

That is, the pupils did not know the language of the mice, and the mice did not know the language of the pupils.

It was an unfortunate lack of negotiation.

It was also the beginning of a war.

Podong declared war on a group of mice.

Every time I saw a group of mice, I ran bravely.

You press down with your belly, bounce off your butt, and hit your head.

Every time, the mice were busy running away.

It was the same today.

Podong chased the leader of a group of mice.

But the mouse commander was quicker than I thought.

I ran away without getting caught.

Podong chased after him hard.

Through the mansion garden, through the driveway, through the village, to the foothills and into the tunnels under construction.

And then, suddenly, through the tunnel, into the anthill.

"Podong"?

I came in and threw it away.

I also lost the mouse commander.

I tried to take a step back from there.

If I didn't hear a familiar voice from nearby, I would have gone back to the mansion.

Phew! Phew! ’

It wasn't the voice, it was the breath.

But that alone allowed me to understand who Podong was.

Podong!

The one who summoned himself to this world.

Who allowed you to be who you are.

It was Lloyd's breath.

Po-dong! ’

I was happy to raise my voice.

But no answer came back.

Lloyd still lets out a loud breath somewhere nearby.

And every time, I hear the sound of digging the ground with shovels.

"Podong"?

Podong tilts his head.

And I thought,

It looks like Lloyd's digging up some ground nearby.

Then you can go help yourself.

Po-dong, po-dong! ’

I found the direction where the sound was coming from hard.

It's not far. It's just across the hall where it belongs.

Since then.

Podong also began digging.

You dig hard at the sound of Lloyd's voice. I moved my frowning butt to sweat on the palm of my cheeky hand.

And it was finally here in front of Lloyd.

“Really, is that you? ”

“Podong!”

“ ……. ”

A mulberry feel that rubs your cheeks like a greeting.

I also smelled a distinctive tail of Podong.

Lloyd could feel it.

Podong was really hit.

“Huh, how did you get here? ”

I said that, but I couldn't be more pleased.

It was the moment I wanted it to be over.

I was waking up a little.

A punch hole pierced by Podong.

It was thanks to the air.

‘Of course, I still think my head is going to break. ’

Hypoxia remained.

The air coming through the small hole only prevents the condition from deteriorating.

‘But it's much better than dying. ’

Lloyd wiggles his fingers.

Luckily, I moved on my mind.

He told Podong.

“Podong? I have a favor to ask. ”

“Podong?”

“Will you bite my nose? I'll wake you up. ”

“Podo-dong?”

“It's okay. It won't kill you. ”

“Podong?”

“Really? Come on. ”

“Podong!”

Podong, who was on his shoulder, got into position.

I got up on my feet and put my hands on this cheek.

And then I asked him to bite my nose.

“Podong!”

Snickers!

“…… Grrr! ”

It was much more irritating than I thought.

My whole body was flabbergasted, making a big jolt.

But thanks to me, I came to my senses.

“Grrrgh, thank you! ”

Lloyd smiles at Podong, who flies his fist over his shoulder.

And I got up hard.

I almost crawled to the wall on my knees.

I put my face to the hole that Podong drilled.

I drank some air coming out of the hole.

I feel a little better.

‘We have to save him, too. ’

Lloyd turns.

I crawled to Xaviel.

Xaviel is completely unconscious.

Fortunately, I couldn't stop breathing.

I dragged him here, moaning.

I grabbed his collar and pulled his torso up.

I put my face in the hole.

For a moment, I saw his complexion improve.

‘Then let's get out of here. ’

I didn't know when further collapse would occur.

If there is another collapse in this situation, you will die.

Knowing that, Lloyd struggled to get up.

You pick up the dropped steel shovel.

The Aslahan method could not be used due to the penalty of using the Enhancement Explosion option.

Instead, there was still some strength left to move.

He stabs the wall with a shovel.

Ku-uk.

The tip of the shovel dug a centimeter into the dirt.

That was enough.

In that state, Lloyd leans forward.

He puts all his weight into a shovel.

Kugu...

The shovel digs deeper into the soil.

Deeper, deeper, rougher, to the end.

And finally, I saw it through.

Pussy!

The shovel, which was slowly digging in the ground, suddenly entered.

The shovel has broken through a 30-centimeter wall and escaped to the other side.

Got it!

Lloyd leans forward with more strength.

A mass weapon in which his body bears the weight (?).

Kuang!

You hit the wall with your shoulder.

I pushed the dirt with my whole body.

Finally, the wall crumbles.

“Whoa, whoa! ”

I was crushed by a pile of rubble, but it didn't matter.

Lloyd takes a deep breath.

Much more oxygen was lodged in his lungs than he could barely drink into a small hole.

I felt more energized.

“So why don't you open your eyes now? ”

Lloyd grunts and carries Xaviel.

I felt heavier than before, either because he fainted or because this side was exhausted.

But Lloyd stepped up.

‘The more time like this, the quieter you walk. Except for useless power. Tighten your lower back and lower back. ’

It's a trick to carry heavy things when you're tired.

You must not rush just by force.

Then it spreads quickly.

The heavier it is, the less urgent it is.

The harder it gets, the trickier it gets.

It was Lloyd who was carrying a lot of cement sacks and brick forks when he was in and out of the labor stations every morning in Korea.

It's like carrying a load of tiles and bricks all day and going up and down to the fourth floor of the villa. ’

You bite your teeth hard.

I focused only on walking.

Thanks to Podong in the lead, I was able to ignore finding my way.

All I did was take a step and check the floor where I would move to the next step.

How long have you been walking like that?

An unexpected message appeared before my eyes.

Ding-dong.

[Under extreme circumstances, we are overcoming our physical limitations with different tricks.]

[That particular experience has had a huge impact on [Skill: Asran Deep Law].]

[New skill option has been opened.]

[Skill Only Option ③: You can maintain a mild state of use in Asran, even when you are extremely exhausted from sleep mode. At this point, the Mana amplification rate is fixed to the usual 10%.]

What the hell is this? ’

Lloyd blinks.

It was an unexpected skill option creation.

The effect immediately felt like my body.

Kiiing...

Mana's double circle around the heart.

It was a sleepless circle.

But I woke up from that sleep and started spinning.

It was only a tenth of the usual turn.

But it was enough.

I've empowered Lloyd, who was extremely tired, with the power of the drought.

‘Mana is absorbed again. ’

Asran's trial was automatically triggered even if it was unintentional.

A small amount of Mana is drawn and absorbed from the surroundings.

The absorbed Mana was turned around and fed to the rest of the body.

A new vitality emerged.

‘Yes, you can. We can get out of here! ’

Lloyd's stride is strong and fast.

I walked for a long time.

He still holds Xaviel in his arms and never stops.

Meanwhile, his surroundings began to change.

The number of luminescent mushrooms that inhabit the walls of the ant hole gradually decreased.

But the oyster did not darken.

Far ahead.

It was because the flashing torch light illuminated this side.

“There! It's Master Lloyd! ”

I heard someone scream.

A number of desperate steps towards this direction.

Rushing in to support this side.

Among them was the baron.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt? ”

A hollow voice that bites you with both hands, clasped your face to this side.

Lloyd stops laughing.

I didn't have the heart to answer.

I'm alive.

The relief loosens the tension.

I smiled.

I closed my eyelids.

"Whoa, what a day. ’

When I was in high school, I used to stretch out like this if it was hard enough to get exhausted.

Lloyd holds the baron in his arms as if he were falling apart.

It was the end of a long and hard day.

♣

Time has passed.

In the meantime, Lloyd falls asleep deeper than anyone thought.

After a day or two, I didn't open my eyes.

Only bruised muscles and ligaments were severely injured.

I didn't see any signs of illness.

The physician in the territory said that the body is just resting, that the tired body is recovering through sleep. So the barons were silenced.

The barons often stayed in Lloyd's bedroom.

I stayed by Lloyd's bed for as long as time allowed.

Especially the baron.

The baron stormed ahead of the beast ants the other day.

He was the one who didn't kill himself more than anyone else in order to penetrate the way down to the underground anthill.

Even though one arm was broken in the fight, even after the aftermath of that fever, he refused the bed and tried to protect Lloyd.

The baroness' determination was no less than that.

She cleaned up the land on her husband's behalf.

You go directly to the soldiers who were injured in the battle with the Beast Ants, and you crush their balls and patch their wounds.

In the meantime, warm rumors spread throughout the land.

It was rumored about Lloyd.

When the beast ant first appeared, this wretched young master evacuated his workers first. It was left behind with Xaviel to keep them safe. It was also said to have jumped into the anthill and defeated the beast and rescued the knight Xaviel.

There were witnesses.

Workers at the moment of evacuation.

The soldiers saw Lloyd holding Xaviel in his arms at the moment of rescue.

You risked your life to protect your people.

A young master who carried a faithful knight without giving up the rest of his life.

The men in the territory clenched their fists as they listened to the story, the virgins felt their hearts palpitating, and the old people's eyes blushed.

Meanwhile, the barons called Xaviel, who woke up first.

I asked the young and faithful knight what happened in the ant den.

While listening to the story, the couple were sometimes surprised, sighed, and swept away their breasts.

Just like that, everyone waited.

I really looked forward to it.

May their master awaken.

Quickly get up healthy.

It was the fourth day since the accident happened.

Lloyd opens his eyes.

[All of Baron Frontera is deeply impressed by your heroic courage and heroic role model.]

[Bonus for this huge social achievement and a large amount of RP will be awarded.]
