The Greatest Architect

“Let's start here. ”

It was a particularly sunny afternoon.

Like this, under the warm winter sun, Lloyd made a shadow of his hand.

My eyes narrowed in the shadow of my hand.

Then I looked around the Magena River.

‘Survey.’

Tsuzuz!

His eyes are filled with a mysterious energy.

At the same time, his vision changed.

I remembered a lot of information about the landscape that I had originally seen.

It was like seeing the world through augmented reality.

Thanks to this, Lloyd was able to keep track of the terrain along the Magena River.

‘Slanted banks of rivers are covered with flat stones. There's a road between a man and a wagon on the bank of that river, and the building is... Hmm, this is going to be tight. ’

Like the Han River, the Magena River traverses the heart of the king.

But there was something different about the Han River.

It was that the town branches were right next to the river.

In fact, there were only 10 meters of roads and houses from the bank of the river.

‘In this sense, it might be more like, well, the Sen River in Paris, France, or the Donau River in Budapest, Hungary. ’

I had never been to Paris or Budapest myself.

But I've seen data on urban development cases.

By the way, this place he's trying to survey right now is not at all secluded.

It was about a million light-years away from an unpopular river bank.

The horse dragging the wagon right next to you has passed.

He grunts and snorts at his neck.

Finally, I let go of the horse poop and went away.

That wasn't the end.

Thousands of passersby were passing by.

It was like watching the Hongdae Street Friday night.

Even so, most of the crowds that passed by stopped. I gathered together and started chatting and throwing my eyes this way.

“Oh, my God. Look at him. ”

“How can a man be so handsome as a sculpture? ”

“The sun is shining more thanks to him.... ”

“Hmm, cool. He looks as radiant as he did in my youth. ”

“The maestro still looks radiant. ”

“Haha, is that so? ”

“Yes, the crown is shiny. ”

“Hehe! You don't want to go to work tomorrow, do you? ”

…… the rumbling poured endlessly. Dozens and hundreds of pairs of eyes flashed towards this direction as well.

There is only one destination for them to see.

It was Xaviel's face.

‘Whoa, this is crazy. ’

Lloyd sighs deeply.

Then I cast a grumpy glance to the side.

“Hey.”

“You called, Lloyd. ”

“Yes, I did. ”

“What brings you here? ”

Xaviel's face still frowns and frowns.

Lloyd shoots Pinzan in the face at Xaviel.

“What brings you here? Can't you just stay away from me and follow me? ”

“Yes?”

“An example of what. Would you look at that? ”

“ ……. ”

“What do you see? ”

“I see people. ”

“Right? But what are they doing? ”

“I'm making a lot of noise looking this way. ”

“Of course you would hear every single word in detail, wouldn't you? ”

“Of course.”

“Do you feel anything? ”

“I do.”

Xaviel insists as if it were natural.

“I think we should get a basket before we head back to the castle. ”

“Basket?”

“Yes.”

“What's with the basket? Do you want to cover your face with it? ”

Loyd's mouth blooms with laughter.

Why did he think of all that? It was great.

You know, the people who've been gathering around to see him, especially the women who are still blowing up in real time. That's why I was so distracted by those women who seemed to be forming a Xaviel Fan Club today. I was about to be interrupted by the surveying.

“If you want to use it, you better hide it with a big one. ”

You twirl and laugh and make jokes.

Somehow, Xaviel doesn't smile.

Rather, I tilted my head and asked what it meant.

“You're wearing it on your head. Why do you have to cover your face? ”

“… huh? ”

“I'm just saying, it's not the basket I was going to use. ”

“Then?”

“We want to make it easy to bring what you'll get to your place. ”

“What will you receive? You can't.... ”

“Yes, this is a confessional letter. ”

“ ……. ”

“It's okay if you only get a few letters. But when you get together, you're in trouble. There are different sizes of letters and envelopes. In addition, some people write urgent messages on the spot and pass them around quite well. ”

“So, you're looking for a basket to carry a confession letter? ”

“Yes.”

“ ……. ”

Javier nodding his head so confidently. It was a very natural attitude around this situation.

Lloyd bit his lower lip without even knowing it.

‘Khh, you filthy bastards. ’

Nasty, dirty bastards in the world.

I hope I get a hemorrhoid later.

It would be nice to win a set with chronic constipation.

Such a little thing.) As Lloyd growls, he cherishes his hope on one side of his chest.

“Yes, basket, whatever. Anyway, step away and follow me. ”

“Why should I? ”

“I can't concentrate. ”

It was true.

“That's the second time they're talking. They're blinding themselves too much. What's with all the chattering around here with nothing to do? No, to measure, you have to look around the river, the bank, and look around. But what is that? It's not like there's a top star or anything. I'm not watching a zoo monkey. Phew, so lasting. ”

“So they're interfering with Lloyd's measurements? ”

“Of course.”

“Is it less distracting for me to walk away from Lloyd? ”

“Maybe?”

“I will not be able to listen to that order. ”

“…… Why? ”

“It's so much fun to watch Lloyd swarm in the sand. ”

“Hehe.”

“I'm kidding.”

“Never sounded like a joke. ”

Lloyd opens his eyes.

Xaviel still looks calm and calm.

“You're kidding. I am Lloyd's escort. It's a busy place with lots of traffic. I think it's imperative that the melee escort be prepared for any unexpected emergencies. ”

“In the meantime, do I look like I'm prancing? ”

“Do you feel that way? ”

“Uh. Protect my body. Beat my menthol instead. It's exciting, right? ”

“Of course you are nagging. ”

“ ……. ”

“Phew.”

“ ……. ”

Let's just shut up and take a look.

He chewed up the sadness next to John Saeler, who would be a part of the history book, and Lloyd once again focused on measuring.

In fact, the spectators gathered to see Xaviel were a bit disturbed. But get rid of people.) I couldn't throw it away, so I sold the item instead. The detailed data were collected by changing the location of the observations.

Then there was a natural fact.

‘There's a reason the bridge keeps collapsing. ’

There were periodic signs of river flooding along the riverside. You may have crossed it with your bare eyes, but with measurements, it was clear.

It was due to the subtle differences in ingredients left in the rock and soil.

‘It's very small, but there's only a little bit of downtown soil left over there, over to where the river is full. It's an ingredient that can be seen in the quadriplegic layers upstream. ’

Perhaps other components of the soil upstream of the Magena river were washed down here together by flooding, kicked up together to the height of the river and left traces.

But the height was considerable.

It was higher than expected

"At the highest elevation, you were submerged not only in the bridge, but also in the upper level, where people and wagons travel. It must have been hard to survive with that giddy stone bridge. ’

The upper part of the leg, a man-made mourning.

When the water reaches there, the bridge is finished.

The long, broad structure itself floats in vast amounts of rivers and is subjected to transverse water pressure.

Not only that, it is also affected by the buoyancy of full water.

The balance of power that has been designed and maintained since the construction of the bridge is completely shaken.

‘Still, I couldn't make the bridge really high. ’

To make the stone leg taller, the bridge that supports the leg must be stronger and larger. However, because of the volume of the bridge itself, it interrupts the flow of river water. I have to get that much water pressure.

Water pressure that you get as much as it gets stronger.

The more you try to build a big bridge?

Risk also increases with irony.

Such a kind of dilemma occurs.

‘I'm glad you insisted on building a suspension bridge. ’

Lloyd nods deeply.

A suspension bridge he claimed to be the king.

If you build it, you will be able to overcome most of the problems that other stone legs have faced before. We can avoid the same misfortune as the other broken bridges.

It was because the need to build bridges in the middle of the river would disappear.

‘The ramp is about 238 meters. At this rate, we can set up towers on either bank, so that they won't be submerged in the river. ’

That's how you build a tower.

Drill the cable through the main tower.

Use cables to float and support the bridge itself in the air.

If the river is blown, the bridge will be hit by the flood, but it will be almost gone.

That was Lloyd's calculation.

Of course, it wasn't easy.

No, to be honest, it was a huge challenge.

Knowing that, Lloyd had been stuck in a lodging in the palace since the evening he finished measuring. All day and all night, I hung up on the design of the suspension bridge. I repeated to create and test numerous models with simulation options with design skills.

So nature's biggest issue of this design became the manufacture of cables.

Cables were a kind of rope made of thick wire.

“Bubbles?”

“Droplets?”

I was thinking about how to make cables.

Lloyd thought, maybe.

I asked the droplet rolling next to me.

“Are you sure you want to buy steel? ”

“Droplets!”

“Can you pull that out much thinner than usual? ”

“Drop?”

“How much is it, um, about? ”

Lloyd raises his hand and narrows his thumb and forefinger in front of his eyes.

The gap was about 5 millimeters.

“Just like that. ”

“Bauangwool?”

“Is that possible?"

“Droplets?”

The droplet tilts its head.

Will it work or won't it work?

It was a bit ambiguous.

It seemed like he wanted something.

Lloyd asks a silly question.

“If I can do something for you, right? ”

“Droplets!”

Then the droplet nodding.

He opened his mouth to see if he was happy to know his heart.

“Drop! Drop! Drop, drop, drop! Bam bam!”

“…… what? You have to mix petroleum clay in a 1: 1 ratio with oily clay? You want to add magnetic-rich sand and massage and gravel to that? ”

“Drops! Drops! Droplets!”

“By making it look like pizza? ”

“Drop!”

“Spread the dough like a dough? The rest on top of it? ”

“Droplets!”

“While you're at it, you want me to sprinkle plenty of basalt, obsidian, olive, and chrysanthemum and talc with tin? ”

“Drop!”

“Sir, is there anything else you want? Do you have any Oatmeal Crust? ”

“Droplets!”

“…… I'm glad that's enough. ”

The droplet explained that once you eat dirt in the right kind and proportion, you can pull out fine, elastic steel like wire.

Moreover, fortunately, the materials described by the droplet were not very difficult to obtain.

“Fine. I'll ask the royal family for it. ”

“Droplets!”

That way, Lloyd goes to the royal officials.

The droplet asked for the ingredients. He added that it is a necessary material for the construction of suspension bridges at the behest of the king.

Thanks to that, I was able to get the answer that everything would be ready in a few days.

‘You really need a thin wire like that. ’

You need it to make a cable.

Specifically, the 5mm diameter wire he demanded of the droplet was at the heart of the construction.

To create a Parallel Wire Strand (PWS) cable with my mind in mind.

‘Phew. That's all we need to prepare for now. ’

It was a place where I hung up on design for days, going to sleep.

In the meantime, I stayed in my home and came out for the first time. I was a little relaxed during that time.

Maybe it's because of that.

I was a little dizzy, and my head was spinning.

‘You need to cool off. Let's take a break today. ’

Lloyd squeezes the back of his neck.

It was still a pile of things to design. However, if the vigilante continues like this, this side will fall first.

‘There are other things you can do while resting and breathing. ’

Suddenly, a bitter smile came out.

That reminds me.

Ever since I arrived in the royal province, I've been completely oblivious to my work with the king.

‘If you go to the Kingdom, make sure you deliver this to your brother. Don't forget to say we love you. ’

The unexpected landscape of the day when the Prince began.

A message from the barons who came from the landscape.

A large pouch that I gave to this side just like that.

Inside, there were all kinds of things.

‘There's a lot more to it than winter coats and blankets and homemade bacon. I'm not a baggage merchant. ’

When I think about it, the bitter smile becomes more intense.

I could see what the barons looked like when I prepared the barley sacks.

That's why.

‘I need to move with the wind today. ’

Lloyd returned to his quarters.

I brought a large pouch of manners from the Barons. The king also crossed the town square. So he headed to the Royal Academy, Magenta University of the Royal Road for the Barons' errands.

Julian Frontera, who was referred to as Lloyd's blood in a novel article in Iron Blood. A sad talent who has cleaned up his studies at the Royal Academy, but has never prospered.

The moment of meeting with the unknown brother was approaching.
