The Greatest Architect

“Look out! Slow down! ”

Shoot him, damn it!

Winter winds blew in front of Cremo Harbor.

Wind swells through the harbor.

Then it got stuck in the side of the sailboat.

A large sailboat flinches up and down.

The crane on the deck of the sailboat was shaken naturally.

Every time, Lloyd's eyes became sharp.

You stare straight through the sea outside the shipyard while maintaining your concentration.

Sailor captain approaches towards him like that.

“Were you pushed aside? ”

“Yes, it's about 50 centimeters to the port. ”

“Fifty centimeters. Do I have to recalibrate something that's been pushed away? ”

“Of course.”

Lloyd raises his head.

I turned to the captain.

“There should be no marginal error. if you think about the size and shape of that crane that was lifted in the first place. ”

Lloyd points up.

The captain's gaze follows his finger.

Soon the captain could see.

Two sailboats floating side by side.

A crane on the deck of two Sailboats.

A large structure was seen being carried up by the two cranes so aligned.

It was a structure that Lloyd called "Casey."

16 meters across.

16 meters vertical.

Height is 30 meters.

It was a big box made of thick wood.

You see a crack in the top and bottom.

A strange, giant wooden box with only a few edges is being transported by a crane, suspended in the air between the two sailboats.

The captain thought.

‘What the hell is that for? ’

It's not floating.

I'm just moving it to sink.

If you're gonna do that, why you're moving it, what you're gonna do with it sinking.

As a captain, I had no idea.

I remembered the bitter smile on Lloyd's mouth.

“You'll never guess, but that, Casey, was designed and built just in time to put it down. But what happens if something goes wrong on the landing site? ”

“Hmm, maybe……. ”

“Construction is going down, isn't it? ”

“ ……. ”

“Then you must be overwhelmed by the inevitability of Count Cremo. ”

“ ……. ”

“And I will invite the captain gently and hold him accountable. ”

“ ……. ”

“Are you confident you can handle that? ”

“No, of course not. ”

“You're not?”

“So, um, 50 centimeters on the starboard side? ”

“Yes, that's it. Thank you."

“You're welcome.”

Lloyd grins.

The captain scolds the crew.

The crew is busy moving.

Two large sailboats leap to the right.

Lloyd's gaze flashed more intensely and looked at the sea.

Engaged with surveying and design skills simultaneously.

Tsutztsu!

Examined the sea level condition to be constructed with a surveying skill.

The options of the design skill have also been activated.

[Skill only option ②: Show Floor Plan (3D) function is activated.]

The hologram images overlapped in the field of view in front of me.

The foundation of an artificial earth designed using design skills and simulation options.

The shape of the foundation appeared as a stereoplanar view on the sea floor.

Thanks to this, Lloyd was able to pinpoint exactly where to put Casey.

‘Good.'

I raised my thumb to the captain.

The captain shouts, "Moore."

The crane is loosened.

Heavy Cayson goes down.

Splash!

I was submerged in the water, splashing water.

I kept going down.

Finally, I reached the bottom of the sea.

There was no error in Lloyd's design.

‘It's a good start. ’

I was relieved to find Casey's location.

It's been two days.

Meanwhile, Lloyd ordered hundreds of wood pegs.

“15 meters long and 30 centimeters in diameter. All I ask is that you peel and trim the flannel trunk. ”

“You mean the willow? ”

“Yes.”

Lloyd nods at the count deacon's question.

“It's the easiest to get around here, but it's also moisture-resistant. ”

It was true.

In fact, the cottonwood was handheld in the early Venetian construction of the ground.

It was also used as a foundation for the Basics of San Marco, a Venetian specialty.

It was a material proven to be reliable through history.

“So it would be great if you could be as strong and ready as quickly as possible. ”

“Huh? Haha, I see. ”

Hurry up, it's a Korean specialty.

The magic (?).

Thanks to that, Lloyd was able to take over all the stakes in just three days.

Around that time, the wooden crate that had been placed in front of the sea was also in place.

It was thanks to its own weight.

‘There's a sea floor full of pearls and mud. ’

Thanks to you, the bottom of the sea was very soft.

A large and heavy structure was placed on the bottom of such a surface.

The weight of the structure dug deep into the mud.

It was like a car that forgot to stop in a swamp or white sand, and the wheel fell deeper because of its own weight.

A box so large, it dug through the soft floor.

The clay and sand below were mixed and fixed deep into a relatively hard layer of Karanto.

That's why you drilled into the bottom of the box, the giant box.

On the other hand, the reason for puncturing the top was to drain the water.

“Now, Hamann? ”

“Howl!”

“Do you like saltwater, not beast? ”

“Hippo! Hippo! ”

“You love it because it's so salty? ”

“Howl!”

“Good. Lots of salt water here. ”

“Howl!”

“Especially since you can see inside of Casey here. ”

“Hippo!”

“You can drink it all. ”

“Howl!”

Chamberlain!

The hammer leaps into the pool of Casey.

I opened my mouth.

I started drinking seawater constantly.

Shoot me!

A vortex has appeared.

The giant hammer blows up like a water balloon.

That's how much the water in the ocean went down.

2 meters, 3 meters, 5 meters...... finally the floor was revealed.

“Hammam! Hammam! ”

Lloyd has even prepared a bamboo straw for the giant moat.

Thanks to this, Lower Mane was able to drink from the inside without leaving a single drop of seawater in every corner.

“Hamaan!”

With Haman's happy smile, the inside of Casey is perfectly dry.

The seabed that made the foundation was completely exposed.

Of course, the water outside didn't come in.

At the top, the waves were blocked by a sufficiently high wall outside of Casey.

At the bottom, the water of the sea could not be flowed in thanks to Casey's digging a few meters to the Karanto floor.

A perfectly dry construction site was created in the middle of the sea.

‘It worked. Luckily, it worked out just as well. ’

Lloyd clenches his fist.

Box Casey Construction, a modern construction law.

I applied it accordingly to the situation here.

On the other hand, I felt anxious just in case.

In case the new technique fails.

In case the water comes in.

I refined the design with numerous simulation options turned.

Thanks to that effort and research.

‘There's no water at all. Perfect.'

The first step was a success.

Lloyd immediately pushed the next phase of construction.

It was a friction peg insertion.

“Here, Xaviel? ”

“ ……. ”

“Finally, it's your turn. ”

“ ……. ”

“Sullivan? My heart's pounding, right? ”

“So-so... Phew. ”

Xaviel sighs deeply.

And he looked at the huge wooden hammer he was holding.

Or should I call it a hammer?

‘It looks like you've pulled off a siege. ’

In fact, it was a huge hammer.

The hammer's head reached 1 meter.

The handle made of steel was as thick as the forearm. It was over two meters long.

No matter how you look at it, it's not made for human use.

Lloyd, who gave me something like that, looked disgusted.

“Lloyd, perhaps?"

Xaviel's voice, looking back at Lloyd, turned cold.

“Are you seriously treating me like construction equipment?" ”

“Yes, of course. ”

“ ……. ”

“I've been, and I always will be. ”

“But I'm a knight. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

“I didn't master swordsmanship just to do this every day. ”

“Then I'll change my mind. ”

“What did he say? ”

“You just have to think you've mastered swordsmanship to do this every day, right? ”

“ ……. ”

“Wow, it's worth it. Right?"

“What the……. ”

“Hey, it's all about the mind. Do you know Ambassador Won Hyo? ”

“I don't know anyone like that. I don't want to feel that way. ”

“Huh. A young man who sees the world negatively. ”

“Correct that, please. I'm not looking at the world, I'm looking at Lloyd negatively. ”

“But you're talking like that and you're holding a hammer? ”

“Of course……. ”

“A pathetic gesture to not lose your lullaby service. ”

“ ……. ”

“Let's stop whining and get to work, shall we? ”

Lloyd raises a large stake.

I put it in place and held on tight.

It was an unbearable weight for an ordinary person to bear.

However, thanks to the help of Asran's court, he was able to concentrate and hold on moderately.

Lloyd grins with a sweaty face.

“One shot. Exactly, okay? ”

“… OK. ”

Xaviel fixes and grabs the hammer with reluctance.

I look up at the top of Lloyd's wooden stake.

At that moment, the Silver Hair Knight plunges into the ground.

Ta-ah!

I took a quick leap.

I raised a hammer like a brass ball.

You strike like lightning, shining blue eyes.

Kuang!

The hammer head strikes the top of the peg precisely.

Xaviel, a senior knight at Muir Sword Expert.

Manat's Mana, as well as Manat's amplified Triple Circle, was a full-scale blow.

The results were surprising.

Tu, tut!

A 15-meter-long peg plunged into the roots in a single stroke.

A deep smile came from Lloyd's mouth.

“That's right. You're good at it, right? ”

“ ……. ”

“Here's another one. ”

You set up the second peg.

Xaviel sighs and holds up the hammer.

After that, I hit a myriad of pegs.

15 metres of cotton wooden pegs were tucked away at 60 centimeters apart.

Okay, the stake is going in. ’

Every time the stake hit, I remembered the satisfaction in Lloyd's mouth.

A wooden stake perched at the bottom of the sea.

He didn't worry at all about the stake decaying.

It was because if you stick it in the ground like this, you won't have to come into contact with the air.

‘No matter how many trees are stuck in the ground and submerged in water, they do not rot. Stay alive for hundreds of years without touching the air. ’

In fact, many of Venice's buildings have survived to this day.

Whoo-hoo! Kuaang!

Xaviel jumps up.

I hammered the hammer like a brass.

Every time, a peg dug through the ground.

“Great! Keep going! ”

“There's no need to rush. ”

Encourage Lloyd's strength and Javier's harsh repetition.

So there was another stake on the sea floor in front of Cremo Harbor.

Statue of the Earl's Dream and Hope to Revive a Declining Port.

It was a stake underneath the statue.

♣

It's been a few days.

There were over 700 stakes embedded in the bottom of the casing.

Construction proceeded at an unbroken, rapid pace.

The height of all the top of the peg was adjusted.

I welded the top of it together with steel.

There, I stretched the steel frame even more.

And the inside of the case was filled with cement.

Volcanic ash gathered in bulk thanks to the droplets.

It was a Roman cement made from a combination of volcanic ashes.

So I went through a theoretical and nursing process.

The weather was nice.

The early winter sun was just right.

The wind was moderately dry.

The spilled cement was completely dry.

Subsequently, the casson border was removed.

I cut the hardened cement to the height of the ground.

Then, the marine artificial terrain was completed, covering 16 meters by height and 256 square meters by height.

“We have also intentionally set the height of the artificial earth. ”

“You deliberately set the height? ”

“Do you know what time it is? ”

“I know. It's high tide.”

“That's right, we've adjusted the height of the ground to be exactly 50 centimeters higher than the surface height of the premature tide. ”

“Huh? Hmm, indeed. ”

Lloyd's confident description.

The Earl nods as he hears it.

It was the right day for the waves.

I was afraid that the wavehead would touch the top of the artificial ground.

“This is good enough. If Gigatitan saw a statue of a mermaid standing here from afar, he would think it was floating in the sea. ”

“I was aiming for it. ”

It was true.

And luckily, it was less than an assistant car.

What if the tide were just right when the sea level went down?

You won't recognize the A.I. very rarely from a distance.

“Very good. Very good. But you do realize we're not done here, right? ”

“Of course.”

Lloyd understood the Earl's words at once.

His work was finished.

That's how the artificial terrain was completed.

But it wasn't over yet.

‘You haven't set up a statue yet. ’

This artificial terrain you created.

This was the foundation for erecting a statue everywhere.

“Then it's my turn to wait. ”

“It won't take long. ”

“I understand.”

From now on, it's time for the artists to make statues.

Receiving the commission from the Earl will be after the statue is fully formed.

That was the expected Lloyd without any further explanation.

"As an Earl, of course. After sending me the money for the construction, I will be in trouble if there is a problem with the foundation in the process of erecting a statue. ’

That is, if there is a problem with the foundation, he should stay here for a while so that he can provide A/S.

‘I need to rest for a few days. ’

It's been a long summer's journey from the Baron to here in Cremo.

Construction preparation and construction started as soon as we arrived here.

It was a place that ran without rest.

I needed a break.

So I really took a rest.

As long as the frostbite is installed.

I spent every day hanging around the inn.

Sometimes I ended up with Xaviel, and sometimes I solved a riddle.

Meanwhile, Xaviel received seven additional love letters from the Earl's favorite Miss Christine.

Lloyd's "This is who I am!" ’The combined shout was a bonus.

And after the full moon.

Finally, the giant mermaid statue is completed.

That evening, a grand ceremony of completion was held.

Six sailboats were anchored under giant statues set in the sea ahead.

It was a boarding party.

Of course, Lloyd and Xaviel were invited.

I attended the party wearing a conquest purchased downtown like Mo.

‘This looks like the Statue of Liberty. ’

Lloyd thinks, looking up at the giant mermaid statue on the sailboat deck.

A blazing sunset that illuminates the sea.

The statue I looked at in it was magnificent and beautiful.

I felt so proud thinking that I had designed and built a statue like that.

That's why Lloyd didn't know.

No, everyone at the party.

Citizens who are finishing their day in the port city.

Everyone could not even imagine.

Grrrrrrr...!

A sea quite far from the sea where the statue of a mermaid was erected.

There, a 90-meter-long, 2,500-ton giant monster was observing the statue of a mermaid with ferocious eyes.
