The Greatest Architect

Rumors have spread.

It spread fast.

Where people live, there is no place without rumor.

But even so, the rumor spread faster and stronger than usual.

It was because the content was so unique.

“Master Lloyd says he's finally mad. ”

“What?"

“I heard you were shoveling. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Literally. They're shoveling in the back yard of the tavern. Soil it, chop it. ”

“Why?”

“I don't know about that. I heard he threatened the owner of the tavern. ”

“Threats?”

“They must have taken the land behind the tavern. ”

“Haha, like……. ”

Someone opens their eyes to the table.

Someone whispered in the field.

“You hear that? Looks like young Lloyd's suicidal. ”

“What, finally? ”

“I heard. He was digging in the dirt yesterday, and today he's digging it again. ”

“Digging?”

“He keeps muttering things to himself, laying flat stones on the ground. ”

“That can't be.... ”

“It's not a grave to bury your coffin in. ”

In addition, various versions of speculation and speculation were overwhelming.

I heard that the Baron Drunken Master is secretly storing his liquor on the ground.

Or digging a tunnel to escape his father's surveillance.

Even new tastes (?).

There were a lot of rumors and spectators.

Just like that, the eyes of the colonists were drawn.

The Onston Room gradually took shape.

♣

‘People are chatting so well. ’

Lloyd wipes the sweat off his forehead.

The chains are covered with mud.

But it didn't matter.

He looked around.

A compact hot-room room covering 3.6 metres of landscape.

In the past few days, the foundation has been laid as well as the wall.

‘It was hard.’

Create an on-the-go room.

I knew it wouldn't be easy.

In practice, it was harder than I expected.

There were no tools used at the site in South Korea.

‘I don't have any power tools. ’

I had to solve everything by hand.

I reached the foundation of my work experience in Nova Alba and the military.

It took me two days.

Total muscle pain was a bonus.

I polished the officer and processed the timber.

Based on mid-length structure.

I've even put up the shelf.

Reinforced wood is woven between the columns.

I pretended to put a fried straw crust dough on it.

That was the first time he completed the Yellow Brick Wall in three days.

“Phew. Xaviel? ”

“You summoned me.”

“Isn't it hard for you? ”

“I've adjusted quite a bit. ”

“Really?"

Xaviel can hardly breathe in this situation.

No matter how good you are at exercising, it's different.

It must be a waste of strength to use your unused muscles.

And yet, he's still like that?

‘It means that the power that remains in the first place is different. ’

I was amazed at the strength of that steel kingpin.

As expected, he's reliable.

Especially when you pour it for free.

Lloyd is fortunate with a gentle gesture.

“Then let's do what I tell you. ”

“Are there any more? ”

“Of course.”

“Why?”

“I haven't finished building the Ondol Room yet. ”

“But Lloyd asked me for a little help. ”

“You did?”

“That's right.”

Xaviel speaks in a cool, distinctive manner.

“Lloyd first asked me for help shoveling. That's all you have to do. But he kept changing his mind ever since. When he finished chopping the dirt, he asked me to help him trim the wood, and he asked me to help him, saying that it was hard to even do mud dogs later on. ”

“Hmm, so you didn't like it? ”

“Of course.”

“Because you're a knight? ”

“ ……. ”

Xaviel doesn't answer.

But Lloyd knew that silence meant positivity.

Maybe so.

Handling shovels and saws, not swords, with dirt all over your body.

You think it's not worthy of the knights' honour.

But Lloyd dug a hole in his mind.

“By the way, Aren't knights supposed to help the weak? ”

“Yes?”

“You'd think so, too. ”

“Of course……. ”

“Right? So this is about the knight, too. It's the work of a great knight to help the weak. Even at this point in time, the owner of the tavern's mother must be trembling with chills. ”

“ ……. ”

“Ah, if we complete this even a day faster, your mouth will be filled with happy laughter……. ”

“What else can I do? ”

Xaviel sighs deeply.

Lloyd smiles sinisterly.

“Let's make some axes. ”

He points outside the Onston Room.

“You see that log in the back yard of the tavern? ”

“I saw it.”

“Yes, well done. That's a tree called Red Song. Axe that thing and make a panel to put it on the roof. ”

“What is a panel? ”

“It looks like this. ”

Zec.

Lloyd paints a large picture on the dirt floor.

“One span across, two spans long, and one finger thick. If you think of it as a longer version of an eingpad tablet…… oh, you don't know the tablet, do you? Think of it as a vending machine. Instead, cut it evenly. Do you understand?”

“Better a saw than an axe, then? ”

“No, it's not. The axe is better.”

Of course, chopping with a saw is easy.

It's easy to scale.

However, during cutting, wear occurs severely.

As a result, the grain of the tree is broken.

The broken grain soaks into the water.

It rots away quickly.

“If you don't want to change the roof in less than a year, use an axe. ”

“… OK. However.”

“Only?”

Then Xaviel looks at you with a slightly odd glance.

“Where did Lloyd learn to do this? ”

“Like this? Building? ”

“That's right.”

It was still cold as snow.

However, the emotions hidden in the coldness were faint.

It was an intense curiosity.

Lloyd was open and honest.

“Korea University.”

“Yes?”

“I learned it at the Korean University. ”

“ ……. ”

“It's true. It's not a lie. ”

“But I've never heard of such an academy. ”

“Oh, of course you've never heard of me going to school somewhere? ”

“That's right.”

“Then keep wondering. All right, let's go. We got a lot of work to do, so let's get moving. ”

Lloyd shakes his hand.

You sent Xaviel out.

Cutting red trumpets with an axe to make a panel for the roof.

That was something Xaviel could do better than himself.

It was the difference in talent.

Whether the target is a person or a tree.

Xaviel has the best talent for making two targets out of things that depend on me.

‘He's already an advanced Sword Expert. ’

It was from the beginning of the novel "Knights of Iron Blood."

It was a fact no one in the territory knew.

Even the baron, Xaviel, did not know.

At this point, however, Javier is already an amazing level of talent.

Advanced Sword Express.

The Sword Master, known as the end of the sword, was just moments away.

In a small country, there are three or four people who could plunder it.

It was literally a knight of the small and medium-sized kingdom.

‘I'm only 20 years old now. ’

It wasn't until Xaviel left this land that he realized his tremendous skills.

It's a matter of the future that is yet to come.

‘Let me move anyway. ’

I rested well enough.

Lloyd started his next step.

The Alpha and the Omega of Ondolbang.

Light. Salt. Hot kidney.

Like a graphics card on a high-end gaming computer.

It was the foundation stone construction.

‘This is really important now. ’

Even if it makes the building look good?

If Ondol doesn't work properly, it's a bust.

Knowing that, Lloyd was able to concentrate as best he could.

‘From here to here as planned. ’

It was when I was in the army.

The commander of the regiment was suddenly stuck in the steamed yellow clay.

It was elected as a major representative for the creation of the Imperial Land Vault at the military headquarters.

What's the result?

The happiness index of the battalion commander's wife has risen dramatically.

The Fellowship Commander's Favor Enriched (?).

Lloyd took advantage of his experiences and memories.

I dug the floor.

It was a passageway through which the heat and smoke from the furnace would enter and pass.

‘So that the heat can circulate through the room floor as long as possible. ’

You carve your way around the tunnel.

Meanwhile, I did not forget to carefully adjust the height of the passageway.

‘This way, the heat doesn't go away, but it lasts as long as possible. ’

Heat is the first surge in the furnace.

The incoming heat frog.

A grilled whale that spreads effectively with dead heat.

A whale that catches heat one last time before escaping.

and a chimney that prevents rain and cold air from entering the vents.

‘It's hard.’

But be more careful.

Reduce errors as much as possible.

I checked again.

I checked and refined it again.

After that, the wall of the passageway was finished with clay.

I dried enough of the finished clay.

You place a flat, flat stone on the passageway.

‘Thick stones on the lower neck near the anvil and thin stones on the opposite upper neck. ’

I placed it delicately.

It was because the upper neck was slowly warming less away from the furnace.

That is why, if the thickness of the stones to be rolled into spheres was different, we could expect the whole floor to be evenly warmed.

‘Now it's your turn. ’

You close the gap between the courtyards with a flint.

The top is covered with clay dough.

The dry mud is trampled on by bees again.

The floor was evenly chopped and thoroughly dried with heavy bees.

The surface was then cleaned and finished with as thin a finish as possible and a surface rake.

It took me three days to get there.

The essence of Ondol Construction was completed.

But I had to postpone the chance to test it.

“Hey, Master Lloyd? ”

I was rejoicing at the freshly made hotstone floor.

A servant walks in.

“The Lord is looking for you. ”

Baron Arcos Frontera, Lord.

It was my father's call.

‘No way.'

Suddenly, there was a place.

Lloyd leaves the Ondol Room unfinished.

Until then, the grumbling of the spectators who were gathering and chattering paused.

Lloyd passes through the awkward silence to the baron's mansion.

♣

“I hear strange rumors have been spreading lately. ”

Dallac.

The fork moves.

A crude handmade sausage picked up by an iron fork.

But the baron's hand stopped there.

I didn't take my fork to the mouth.

I glanced this way, across the table.

“He's doing something in the backyard of the tavern. ”

That look is not warm.

Frankly, it's cold.

I feel like I'm staring at something more troublesome than my son.

In his eyes, Lloyd's taste became bitter.

‘This body has its drawbacks. ’

Owner of this body that you own.

Lloyd Fronte was a typical jackass.

Gambling and vandalism from booze and alcohol.

Other intangible quality.

So glamorous (?) History and karma were stacked.

So I always had to confront the prejudices of the people around me.

In other words, no matter what he did, people looked down at him.

I wonder what that bastard's up to this time.

What kind of accident is he trying to cause again?

Have you lost your mind?

Or it's time to die.

Please don't embarrass me.

... and so on.

It was the same now.

“Let's hear it. What are you up to this time? ”

The baron's voice was as cold as his eyes.

As soon as I heard it, I realized.

That's not the question.

A reproach.

Lloyd shrugs.

“If you've heard the rumors, you know. We're making a hot stone room that the tavern owner ordered. ”

“Ondra's room?”

“Yes.”

“Are you making fun of this father with words like that that that fooled the tavern owner? ”

“If that's what you think, I can't help it. ”

Lloyd was surrounded.

At this point, I don't know what to believe.

Rather, it seemed like a useless misunderstanding would be perfect.

Even so, he persuaded the baron before his eyes.

It was awkward.

‘If you mix it up for a long time, you might get noticed. ’

Parents can somehow recognize their children.

You are not Lloyd Frontera.

This is the body of Kim Su-ho.

I was worried that I would be doubted for no reason.

He chose to avoid a deep conversation.

“I'll finish my meal if you say so. ”

Like fucking Lloyd did.

I cut the plaster banks and focused on eating.

Before I say anything else, I thought we should just fill our stomach with food in front of us and get up quickly.

The baron's question flew into the ear like that.

“Was it because of the family situation? ”

“ ……. ”

“If you had eyes and ears, you'd know what's been going on. Did you do this on purpose because you were upset? ”

“ ……. ”

Are you referring to an impostor?

My guess was right.

“But it's okay. It's just a passing wind file. It's no big deal. Who was I? The Arcos Frontier of the Fifth Generation. This father can overcome this kind of hardship in no time. So don't let it get to you too far. ”

“ ……. ”

“This father will give you strength, so don't let him shake you. ”

“ ……. ”

I've heard that one before.

Suddenly, Lloyd raised his head.

I looked at the baron.

Handsome Middle-Eastern man.

But I'm tired of the look on his face.

I could see his face overlapping his face one day.

‘Same as before. ’

It was my last vacation from the army.

That's what my father looked like when he was suffering from investment fraud.

He grabbed my hand.

Don't worry about it.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's no big deal.

You only care about studying.

He smiled so hard and pleaded with me.

So he didn't know.

I just thought it was really okay.

A year after that.

I didn't even know that my parents who couldn't break up in debt would make extreme choices.

However, the baron was making the same face as his father at that time.

‘Lies.’

That's not good.

He's pretending to be okay in front of his kid.

Tak.

Lloyd drops his fork.

It was a long time ago when I thought about only eating.

I also decided to stay away from the baron for a little while.

And he opened his mouth without even knowing it.

“Don't give up. I'll make it work. ”

If we go back a few years.

It was something I wanted to tell my father.

I got up quietly in my seat.

The baron looks at this side with strange eyes.

A slightly different grain than the earlier coolness.

The eyes were heavy, so I left in a hurry.

Luckily, the baron doesn't hold this way.

♣

Construction continued.

The hall in the back of the tavern quickly appeared.

The gaze of the onlookers was pouring in.

I baked it with you in the eyes of misunderstanding, murmuration, and rumor.

Carbonated to prevent deterioration of the tree.

I wasn't used to it at first, so I ruined a few.

Some are too burnt and broken, and some have retreated.

However, after several attempts, I came up with a trick.

The key was to burn only 3 millimeters deep on the surface of the shipping panel.

‘Perfect. ’

Lightweight and durable panels.

The water was not easily smeared.

I thought it would last 10 years.

The roof was woven into a panel.

The vinegar was dried and covered with mud from the floor.

I applied a thicker piece of cardboard with a damp grass and pasted it onto the vinegar.

The beans were soldered with soybean oil and the resin was coated to finish waterproofing.

It was the completion of the studio.

I set the fire as a test.

I touched the floor.

“That's enough.”

I could not help but smile.

Now it was time to confirm the customer's response.
