The Greatest Architect

The trade city of Cremo.

It was the central city of Cremona, in the eastern part of the Kingdom.

Earl Cremo there is, of course, the Lord of the region.

In other words, he was a practical superior to the Baron Frontera.

"In South Korea, I think, um, a librarian? ’

The most powerful man in the province.

Even within the kingdom, I could not believe it.

So Lloyd tilts his head.

I had some questions.

“Well, is the Earl really buying those treasures? ”

“I see. So why don't you send me this letter? ”

“But why? ”

“Why?”

“Actually, those treasures, the ones that Orcs used to deal with as exercise equipment, aren't worth much. There's gonna be a lot of little scratches. ”

It was true.

No matter how precious the treasure may be, it needs to be managed.

Those treasures had long been rolled into Orc props.

It was a precious treasure at first glance.

If I wiped it well, it was shiny too.

However, if we looked closely, it was a little different.

There were scratches and scuffs all over.

It was engraved quite a bit.

“So the person who was going to buy this was either a low-priced, treasured, rural aristocrat to boast about, or a merchant who would benefit from an intermediary deal with those customers. ”

It was Lloyd who expected it.

Some kind of secondhand (?) treasure.

So I was even more curious.

‘You don't have to buy a second hand like this by the time you're an Earl. ’

Someone who can collect fresh treasure if he wants to.

No, you can even summon your father-in-law to make treasure.

I can't believe you would buy a second-hand treasure like this.

It was definitely a bit strange.

It's as awkward as the boss of a giant corporation sending a used car out for an exorcism ride.

Or a famous wife who wants to have a luxury bag and searches the old country.

“Is there another use for it? ”

Lloyd asked.

The baron shrugs.

“I don't know, but..."

The baron taps his chin and narrows his eyebrows.

“Last I heard, the Earl was about to erect a large statue in Cremo. ”

“Frostbite?”

“That's right.”

“Why?”

“I don't know if I can do that. Anyway, it's my guess, but maybe they just want to remove the jewels from the treasure they bought from us and decorate the statue. ”

“Oh, that's a possibility. ”

Then Lloyd nods.

A small jewel to decorate all over the giant statue.

I finally understood the purpose of using it.

‘Surely recycling gems taken from second-hand treasures will save you more money than buying new ones. It's a big statue. It's something to see from afar anyway. So even a jewel with a small scratch shouldn't be a problem. ’

Lloyd recalls a chandelier among the treasures stored in the warehouse.

A chandelier that once lit up the hall of a nobleman.

Maybe he was turned into a giant hula hoof of Orc Warriors.

Nevertheless, most of the gems tucked around the chandelier are safe. You'll get a fair amount of jewelry if you take it all out.

‘Earl, you're a sight for sore eyes. ’

Anyway, I was happy that I had a place to sell.

Moreover, it was even more pleasant to be able to dispose of all the treasures at once.

The good news of welcoming yourself like this.

In return, Lloyd gives the baron the good news.

“Now it's my turn. ”

“I came to see you. ”

“Yes, the water tax I mentioned this morning. ”

“What was the reaction of the Lakona bird? ”

“Ha, you should have seen it for yourself. ”

Lloyd shudders.

I told him about my work with Birch in the interview room.

He told me all the pathetic things he had seen there.

The baron's mouth dries up happily.

He looks like someone who's been dead for a hundred years.

The clown ascended to heaven properly.

In fact, I did.

‘It would have been a great humiliation for Lord Kurno to come and deliver his own threats last time. ’

It was a threat that there was no way to resist.

Not only was the knight sent to you, but he was blatantly ignored.

As a baron, there would have been no such humiliation.

But now?

Birch, who humiliated himself, was listening to the story of signing the contract of tears.

Even Lord Kurno drenched his pants.

Humiliation and black history experienced by those who humiliated themselves.

Wouldn't it feel good to hear that?

‘Maybe it feels like honey flowing through the cochlear. ’

The baron's delight made Lloyd feel better.

The town's festival surroundings has made me feel overwhelmed.

‘So, Debt, let's settle this quickly. ’

First day of Mani Hadan's possession as soon as possible.

I've been running really hard ever since.

Just a little more.

Just a little more effort.

I saw hope that I could clear the debt step by step.

Likewise, the night of the small festival was as bright as the hope of dawning.

♣

From the next day, Lloyd was busy moving.

Time is not on your side.

It was always Lloyd who lived on one side of his mind.

It wasn't until dawn that I enjoyed the festival until I fell asleep.

We have a lot of work to do. Heave-ho! "

Getting up early in the morning and preparing for a busy day.

It was a habit from Korea.

I woke up at the same time as always.

As soon as it was light out the window, I opened my eyes and woke Xaviel up.

You have begun preparing to travel to Cremo, the trading city.

“I think we'd be in trouble if we had too many people. Hold it as tight as you can. ”

“Is that okay with you? If you think about safety issues……. ”

“It's all right. I have Lord Asran. ”

“Hmm. That's true. ”

It was Lloyd trying to get to Cremo City himself.

The baron, who didn't do it, captured a total of 100 performers.

Of course Lloyd was freaking out.

“If you have too many mouths, you'll also need a lot of supplies. Besides, the engineers, we have to stay and make the warmstones. ”

It was true.

Too many mouths will increase the burden of food, etc. needed.

With more luggage, more preparation and slower movement.

Moreover, winter was approaching.

“In the spring, the contract for the residents was to make all the hotstones before winter came. I should have finished all the hotstones I had signed by now, but I didn't. ”

It was all because of the construction of water.

I had to mobilize all the people who were building the stone to create the water supply that was not in the plan.

“So I'll take as few engineers as I can. We must complete the on-stone replenishment before winter comes, even if we have to do all the on-stone construction. ”

“Then how many people were you planning to take? ”

“I think I can hold the treasure thread for as few as twenty men as I can to keep the wagon in check. ”

“Will that do? ”

“Yes.”

According to Lloyd's determination, the number of people going to the trade city was Lloyd, Xaviel and twenty engineers.

Of course, the construction of the personnel did not leave immediately.

There was something I had to do before I left.

Water to supply directly to the Autonomous Dye Workshop.

It was a conduit installation for it.

‘We had a contract anyway. ’

The water supply had to be set up quickly.

so that the monastery can receive the tax much sooner.

“Now, don't be so hasty. Step by step! What's the best part of the scene? ”

“Safe!”

“Great. You guys bore me to death in the mountains, right? ”

“Yes!”

“Then put it in! ”

“Wooooo!”

We mobilized some of the engineers.

From the Essence of Territories to the Birch's Dye Workshop.

I repeated many things I had done in the mountains.

I dug a set path.

The engineers were groomed.

The giant snake conduit is inserted, connected, and buried.

The whole process consisted of fourteen thousand.

‘We have everything ready. ’

Not just surveying, but design.

It was Lloyd who had finished early before he went to find his bird and won the contract.

The same was true of the Giant Snake.

During the construction of the conduit to the territory in the mountains, I secured an extra Giant Snake Book in advance.

I pre-trimmed and covered all the reinforcements.

All readiness is complete.

So what if Podong digs the ground and the engineers mow it up?

I was able to install the plumbing immediately.

‘It's like, well, it's like a three-minute curry dinner in the middle of a mountain. ’

It was that comfortable.

It was quick.

Almost every conduit could be constructed in just one full night.

The slopes at the foot of the Eastern Mountains have been adequately leveraged due to high altitudes in the Frontera territory and in the territory.

The average inclination of the total conduit captured is approximately 0.7%.

‘This should be enough. ’

The day the last conduit is connected.

At last, the Birch Dye Workshop was fed with its first water supply.

It was not lime mixture. It was running directly from Lake Capua at the foot of the mountain range.

Thanks to that, Lacona, a specialty of the Bird's Order, came to life.

The old colors and sheen came back.

Of course, Birkhoff was impressed.

“Huff, huff! Finally. Finally... ”

“What do you think? It's worth the constant, isn't it? ”

“Indeed. How did I hesitate to sign a water supply contract.... ”

“What can I say? It was the water taxes. ”

“ ……. ”

“Can't the water taxes be pushed since the first month? ”

“Oh, I see. ”

I was impressed with the resurrected laconate fabric.

However, as soon as he heard the word 'Water Tax’, his face turned gloomy.

A sinister smile has spread over Lloyd's mouth.

‘You're always welcome to this kind of courtship. ’

It didn't cost me a gram to feel sorry or pity.

An opportunity for crisis.

It was a crisis presented by the bird in the beginning.

He overcomes that and sticks a straw in his bird.

It was a titanium-grade straw that wouldn't let go for decades at least.

And that wasn't the end of the reward.

Ding-dong.

It was a moment to turn around, leaving behind a gloomy log.

Suddenly, I remembered the message with a clear tone.

[You have successfully introduced a constant water system.]

[This is the first time in the history of the continent.]

[The construction and utilization of your water supply system will be lengthened as a pioneering model for the civil works of the empire and continent.]

[Your name is recorded in the history of the construction of kingdoms and continents.]

[A bonus to the continent's first achievement provides a large amount of special RP.]

Gain [600 RP.]

[Current RP: 2275]

Oh?

Lloyd stops.

The message kept coming back to me.

[Rumors spread about you with great achievements in the nearby region.]

[Especially the central bureaucrats and civil engineers of the kingdom will have a deep interest in the engineering and social value of the water supply system.]

[You have begun to spread your reputation as a builder.]

[People who have heard your rumors will have deeper confidence in your construction plans.]

‘Compensation for the introduction of the water system. ’

Lloyd reads the message and understands it.

‘Somehow, when I made all the water in the territory, there was no reward for my achievements. ’

It was actually a bit of a question.

But when I saw the message now, I knew why.

‘It wasn't just constants this time. We had to meet the conditions for utilizing the facility properly. ’

It wasn't just about breaking the water supply.

actually supplying water through the water supply.

Ultimately, introducing a 'system’ that receives a capital charge.

It seemed to have been a condition of achievement.

‘Great. Great. ’

Reward message for beautifully embellishing your eyes.

Seeing that, Lloyd smiles satisfactorily.

‘RP's overflowing. ’

The highest RP obtained so far was obtained all at once.

It wasn't just that.

‘Reputation and trust as a builder. It's not represented by numbers, but this is gonna be a really big reward. ’

It was Lloyd who wanted to continue to win big.

That way you can earn big bucks.

I can repay the baron's debt quickly.

In the meantime, I earned my reputation and trust as an architect.

In other words, it was easier for the client to get the contract for the construction order than before.

‘Here's a reward to keep in mind. ’

It was my favourite reward.

After that, a small reward followed.

The liking of the barons rose by 3, respectively.

Sir Bavaria 2, who oversaw the construction, has risen.

Four has risen from the rest of the territory.

Thanks to you, I took an extra 126 RP.

I also received a warm heart from the people around me.

“Please be careful. ”

The day after I finished connecting the water supply to the manuscript.

Lloyd departs for Cremo, a trading city.

The barons escorted me to Lloyd.

The baron draws his worries and orders endlessly toward this direction.

“Be careful about everything, and don't be careless everywhere. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I'll keep that in mind. ”

“If anything happens, hide behind Ser Asran. ”

“Yes, I will do that. ”

“When something dangerous happens, you run first. ”

“Then what about the engineers? ”

“Well, then run away with me. ”

“ ……. ”

The baroness was no worse than her husband, relaying the concerns of the infinite.

“Come back anytime you're tired. You can't go to strange, dark nights, creepy places, dangerous places? ”

“Yes, yes. I understand.”

“Don't ever pick a bite. ”

“Yes, I'll keep that in mind. ”

“When you sleep, don't kick the blanket. ”

“Mmm-hmm, yeah. ”

“And take this, too. ”

“What's this? ”

“Amulet.”

“…… like this cute pink doll? ”

The baroness' amulet.

The face of Lloyd, who took it, crumpled upon application.

It was a stuffed bear too cute to call an amulet.

Even the colors were chic teenage girl sentimental pink.

However, the baroness who handed over the teddy bear looked solemn.

“The same thing. You can't talk nonsense. ”

“Hey, but……. ”

“This amulet was made by my mother all night long. ”

“Ah……. ”

“Don't just keep your mouth open. Take it. ”

“What's the use of this? ”

“They say you can stop nightmares if you hold them in your arms every day. ”

“Hehe.”

“The ignorant dream and sleep until they are sober and lucky. So make sure you sleep with this all the way here. Okay?"

“ ……. ”

It was all my concern that I gave it to you.

I couldn't just hand out stuff like that.

Then I suddenly remembered my mother when I was living in Korea.

‘Are all moms like this? ’

I don't think I need it.

Sometimes I'm annoyed and ashamed.

He was an endless caring, caring and hugging person.

But at the time, I just didn't think it was necessary.

Why I used to think it was just annoying.

I regretted it when I came back now.

Every time you give it to me.

I'd say thank you more.

I regretted myself in the past when I didn't.

Maybe that's why.

“Yes, thank you. Seriously.”

I received a doll smiling brightly.

I hugged him with relief.

As much as I couldn't do for my mom.

More with regret in my childhood.

So the barons escorted you out of the territory.

Of course, no one knew until then.

Lloyd heads to the trade city to dispose of old treasures.

At least no one had foreseen the future where this young master of the countryside and his guard would leave him in the trading city of Cremo to build legendary achievements.
