The Greatest Architect

The manuscript is signed.

The signature was quick.

You make fun of the pen like you don't have to think twice.

From his own point of view, so did I.

It was because even the last hope had fallen.

“Lord Kurno, I presume. Even if he came into the conference room and didn't stop and noticed the whole time. I was so obvious. ”

The way to leave the order and return to the baron.

Lloyd says in the back of the saddle.

Xaviel nods in front of you.

“That's what it looked like to me. ”

Definitely did.

Lord Kurno has jumped into the conference room.

I didn't even have the strength to stop him.

But since then, the bird has been contained enough.

He would have been able to intercept his senior knights as much as he wanted to, like, communicate or reprimand them.

But that's not what happened.

“Perhaps you were expecting your articles to make a variable. That was the last hope I had. You cut it off. ”

“As expected, I see. ”

“Well, how does it feel to have a new title? ”

“What new title? ”

“Pee Maker. ”

“ ……. ”

“That's right. You swing your sword, huh? Sir Kurno's sword will be severed, eh? That's why Lord Kurno wet his pants, saying," Oh, my God. "”

“ ……. ”

“Lord Kurno won't be able to lift his head for a while, thanks to that dark history. I'll kick in the duvet every night. If I were you, I'd pack up and move to a different land tonight. No, I could cross over to another continent so no one would recognize me at all. Well done, anyway. Awesome. ”

“I just stopped the cowardice from hitting someone in the back. ”

“Of course! A pee maker. ”

“ ……. ”

“Why? You don't like it? ”

“I don't think I need to answer that. ”

“Is that supposed to mean you like me, then? ”

“Never, never. ”

Tak, percussion!

Xaviel grabs the harsh grip.

Royd smiles mischievously.

“Thanks to you, your sword skills are spreading everywhere. ”

It was true.

Xaviel cuts Lord Kurno's sword.

Cutting the sword with the sword.

It was never easy.

No, it was to put a sword on the anvil and decide if I should hit it.

Besides, what a knight Lord Kurno is.

He was a senior knight of his own order.

He was also renowned for his swordsmanship.

“Word on the street is Lord Kurno has surpassed the level of Sword Expert. What do you think? How does it feel to be the one to strike the sword? ”

“Rather than a rumor. It was clearly the sword of a man who made it to the middle level of Sword Expert. ”

“You forged such a sword, you. ”

“I see.”

“Yeah. There's gonna be a lot of rumors going around in these parts, not to mention the stables. ”

“What will the rumors be? ”

“Maybe it's like this. Prince Xaviel Asrahan, the youngest knight in the eastern corner of the Frontera, suppresses the Knights of the Sort Expert Intermediate in his neighbouring territory. ”

“A modifier named Sword Expert would follow. ”

“Of course.”

Probably would

Cutting off the opponent's knight's sword.

It is only possible if there is at least one level of skill difference.

In other words, in the future, the Baron Frontera will be known as the territory with knights of Sword Express.

“There are pros and cons because of you. ”

“Pros and cons? ”

“Less people will underestimate our territory first. You have a deadly and terrifying weapon. ”

“So what are the drawbacks? ”

“You.”

“…… Yes? ”

“I'm sure there's a lot of people after you. ”

“Who's after me?" ”

“Who. Lots of lords, targets, and so on. ”

“You mean they'll try to recruit me? ”

“Of course.”

Lloyd nods.

“Think about it. Senior Sword Expert. Besides, she's barely 20 years old without any fluff on her. If you were a great lord or merchant, what would you think after hearing the news? ”

“…… I think I'd like to use it as an ambush. ”

“Isn't that right?"

“Yes.”

“That's right. They'll want to use you as a sidekick. I'm going to spend a lot of money to raise him. I'm only 20 years old now. If you really invest 10 years of your life and raise it, you could get a thirty-year-old sod master. ”

Thirty-year-old Sword Master.

It was a great story.

Especially considering that all the feisty sod masters were over 40.

I mean, it's like I'm literally running a 20-year-old coffin or a zodiac, or Michael Jordan, Ronaldo, or Messi. ’

What if I get it?

There will be enough for two generations of future lords, not to mention the times.

Other lords.

Power merchants.

Maybe even the king of this country.

They can't just leave this kind of greedy bread.

“Maybe we should start a measles. ”

Lloyd sees Xaviel in front of him.

The one with the back of his head.

So I couldn't read his face.

But I could feel the look on his face.

“Measles. It doesn't matter. I have no intention of serving other lords. ”

Yeah, that's what Xaviel looks like.

It was the original Blood Knight.

I didn't waver at any temptation around me.

Even at the time of the fall of Baron Frontera in the novel.

I could abandon the ruined land as much as I wanted.

I was able to choose a comfortable path to serve a more powerful and promising lord.

But Xaviel did not.

Until the baron dies.

No, not even after she died.

I did not serve the other lords to the end.

And so it was, after the ascension of the Sword Master.

Even the powerful Duke, King and Emperor's offerings were firmly sprinkled.

His lifelong master was with the glorious ambassador, Baron Frontera.

‘Quite a guy. ’

It's actually not that easy to live.

No, it's practically just impossible.

The man who stubbornly defended it all his life was Xaviel sitting right in front of him.

‘So he won't have to worry about finding another owner. ’

Compete for Xaviel instead.

We must be prepared so that the baron will not be harmed.

Lloyd suddenly laughed as he engraved his plans for the future.

It reminded me of another knight who defended his allegiance to the Baron Frontera.

“By the way, doesn't Lord Bavaria blame you? ”

“I don't know what you mean. ”

“What are you talking about? Every time I do a job, it's about the surgeon you put on. ”

“Ah.”

Xaviel nods as if he knows what you're talking about.

“But Lord Bavaria saw my footsteps and said a few words. ”

“What?”

“Excellent, I hear.”

“That's it? ”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to learn, do you want to check your swordsmanship, or nothing like that? ”

“Oh, I told you once that I was jealous. That's it.”

“Lord Bavaria. ”

Obviously, the novel is still the same.

Lloyd recalls what was mentioned several times in the Iron Blood article.

It was a description of Lord Bavaria.

‘Talent is a common but honest, fair and greedy and innocent personality. ’

Even though Xaviel's ability surpassed him with such personality, he didn't seem to feel much of a glance.

No, it was more like "welcome."

"Xaviel's getting stronger, so he thinks he's helping the territory. ’

Personality that thinks about the progress and benefits of the territory before the competition of the individual.

I thought you were good enough to leave the Engineering Corps in charge.

At the same time, we need to improve Lord Bavaria.).

“By the way, ”

“Hmm?"

“Why did you do that before? ”

Xaviel's sharp question penetrates his mind.

Lloyd tilts his head.

“Earlier? What? ”

“Lord Kurno's duel request. ”

Xaviel's voice was a little rough.

It was like he pointed out a mistake.

“You were a bit rash. ”

“Because you refused the duel? ”

“I don't think you should just say no, I think you should just say no. ”

Xaviel continues.

“If you refuse the duel without a cause, you will become a connoisseur. And of course, I know that Lloyd doesn't care about such hypocrisy. But Lloyd is not just an individual. Clearly a member of the Frontera family, therefore……. ”

“If you refuse a duel without a castle, who will become famous for the territory and the baron? ”

“…… Yes. ”

Xaviel in the front row grips his head.

His words continued.

“Perhaps if you were Julian, you would have done something more refined. ”

“Julian?”

“Yes.”

“Tsk, why are you talking about him here? ”

Lloyd laughs in disgust.

Suddenly, another figure in the blood of a novel came to mind.

Julian, Lloyd's brother. ’

Julian Frontera.

Lloyd's five-year-old brother and the baron's son.

Unlike the drunkard Lloyd, he was sincere and loving.

He seemed to combine only the virtues of the baroness and the baroness.

"Thanks to him, I'm studying abroad with great expectations of the Baron. At the Academy of the Capital City. ’

The Knights of the Blood of Novels meet a miserable end.

I get kicked out of the Academy because I can't pay my tuition.

That evening, unfortunately, I met a robber in the back alley of the capital.

Refuse to give out items required by the robber.

An old pendant given to me by my mother, the baroness.

You get stabbed trying to protect it.

To face such a senseless and hopeless death in this dark alleyway that passes by.

That was the fate of Julian Frontera in the original novel.

‘Of course, things will be different now. ’

Since the baron has escaped his fall, Julian will not be expelled from the Academy.

Like in the novel, you will never encounter a robber while transporting the back alley.

Regardless of Lloyd's recollection, Javier's nagging bombers were still undergoing extensive fact-shooting.

“…… Runny Lloyd needs to be a little more mature about himself, like his younger brother Julian. All of Lloyd's actions and words are not his alone. You must take responsibility for all of the actions that come with the honor and prestige of the Frontera family. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

“Of course, there's no denying that Lloyd did a great job this time. You deserve to be praised. So if you show a little more nobleness, I think it would be even more fashionable. I dare say so. ”

“So next time you want me to challenge you to a duel, turn down more plausibly? ”

“Yes.”

“Don't just provoke your opponent like you did before and turn your back on him? ”

“Yes.”

“But you're here. ”

“…… Yes? ”

One word that I spit out as if this were passing by.

Xaviel in front of you pauses.

Lloyd grins.

“You were with me. I believed that no matter what happened to me, you would always be there for me. You're just as capable and reliable as he is. ”

“ ……. ”

Somehow, Xaviel couldn't keep up.

Lloyd tilts his head.

“Slurp. Why aren't you responding? That was creepy, wasn't it? ”

“ ……. ”

“Hey?”

“ ……. ”

“You must have fainted. ”

“I didn't faint. However”

“Only?”

“I could hardly bear it because I felt like I was going to flip over. ”

“Gosh, did you almost puke? ”

“Yes.”

“Was I really that terrible? ”

“Yes.”

Xaviel's back head nods with a clear nod.

But at that moment, in Lloyd's eyes, I remembered a message with the opposite meaning.

Ding-dong.

[Xaviel Asrahan is moved by what you have said.]

[The awkward doubt that Xaviel Asrahan has been holding on to you has gone away.]

[The many favors and considerations you have shown to Xaviel Asrahan have now been misunderstood and conveyed to Xaviel Asrahan.]

Huh?

A message that comes to mind about Javier's silver haired head as a background.

Seeing it, Lloyd opened his eyes wide.

[Xaviel Asrahan's affection for you has increased by +14.]

[Current relationship with Xaviel Asrahan: +5]

[Significant relationship improvement with the main character earned 252 RP.]

[Current RP: 1607]

From [intimacy with Xaviel Asrahan] to [ordinary attention], up to 2 levels.]

[Received an extra 50 RP as a bonus based on Amity tier 2 up.]

[Current RP: 1657]

"Phew."

You took over 300 RP with you at a time.

‘This is almost social achievement. ’

What an 18 RP piece of shit.

Lloyd glances at Xaviel's back head as if it were a precious piece of gold.

If you don't mind, I'd like to stroke that albino's back head.

At the same time, I realized at the same time.

‘There was a reason why this guy's affection was so impressive. ’

In fact, there have been a lot of things that have spread to Xaviel so far.

Solved his malignant insomnia.

You helped to complete Asran's obstructed core.

At the anthill, I carried him out with my life.

He also taught us about the advanced application of Asran.

He didn't have one or two things to be grateful for.

It was not unusual for me to have my liking pierced the sky.

‘But the reality was different. ’

It was really different.

Strangely, I didn't have a good crush on him.

The climb was as sharp as an ant's eyes.

At first I was curious.

Maybe later.

‘I thought it was just because of his unique cold personality. ’

Apparently not anymore.

‘He didn't believe me. ’

I was literally hitting the wall in my heart.

That's why even though this side did me a favor, I didn't accept it as it is.

You son of a bitch! ’

On the other hand, I thought about it.

But on the other hand?

From Xaviel's point of view, it made sense to me.

‘He was raised by the baron as a child. You've seen all of Lloyd's shit the whole time. ’

From the age of preschool to adulthood.

He grew up watching Lloyd's truth for decades.

In other words, Xaviel's behavior and authenticity that he felt engraved on the bones were truly historic (?) It was a traditional grade.

But this guy's been sober for months?

Suddenly you're getting good at it?

"He's not so soft as to let his mind go easily, Xaviel. ’

That was Javier's nature.

Basically, he was tricky.

I was cautious of the favors of others

Once he opened his heart, he showed his sincerity, but he didn't open his heart easily.

But the door in his heart was finally just as open as his fingernails.

Lloyd grins at Xaviel's back.

“Hey.”

“Yes.”

“You hated me so much. ”

“I can tell you the truth. ”

“Huh."

“I still don't like it. ”

“Phew.”

“Do you remember the first time I held a wooden sword when I was six years old? ”

“No, not at all. ”

“Lloyd is the one who broke the wooden sword I had received for the first time from the Lord that day. ”

“…… Whew. ”

“Actually, I haven't thrown away my broken wooden sword yet. ”

“Did you keep it in your lodge? ”

“Yes.”

“Why? To reminisce about your gratitude to the baron, something like that? ”

“No, I don't want to forget Lloyd. ”

“... Hehe. ”

Ha, Lloyd Frontera.

You really were a piece of shit.

I have nothing to say.

Around this time, I understood why Xaviel kept being so harsh on this side a hundred times.

Xaviel's words precede him.

“That's why I still hate being creeped out. Please don't pretend to be as close as possible. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

“Yes.”

Ding-dong.

[Xaviel Asrahan is struggling.]

[Xaviel Asrahan is unraveling a long time in his mind.]

[Xaviel Asrahan is feeling slightly favored by you for listening to him, in contrast to the coolness of his appearance.]

[Xaviel Asrahan has +1 'd your appeal.]

[Current relationship with Xaviel Asrahan: +6]

[A slight improvement in relationships with key characters resulted in 18 RP.]

[Current RP: 1675]

‘…… this dishonest one. ’

Lloyd stops smiling.

After that, Javier's nagging and thorny whining continued.

But somehow the complaint didn't sound as cold as before.

Tough but not cold.

Like that, Lloyd's pitch.).

Two people sitting forwards and backwards on the back of an angry horse.

We couldn't see each other's faces.

Instead, he drew a similar smile.

I returned safely to the baron after sunset.

Likewise, there was a small festival celebrating the completion of the water supply in the land.

Meanwhile, new and good news was also awaiting Lloyd.

“You're just in time. How did things go at the palace? ”

“Yes.”

The baron approaches first and greets you this way.

“Well done. Well done. ”

“Thank you."

“Yes, that story went well. We'll talk about it in a little while, but let's start with this. ”

The baron pulls something out of his arms.

It was a rolled parchment letter.

“This came this afternoon. Remember what you asked me to do the other day? ”

“A favor I did? ”

“Yes."

“Oh, did I ask you to find a place to dispose of the treasure you acquired from the Orc Tribe? ”

“Yes, it is. That reply came around noon. ”

The baron smiles face to face.

“Earl Cremo of Cremo, the trading city, wants to buy all the treasures at once, and he sends you this message to bring the treasure. ”

A parchment letter with a smile on it.

The same smile was raised on Lloyd's mouth when he saw it.

Finally, a chance to turn the enormous treasure that was kept hidden into money.
