The best territory designer of all time - Episode 10
10fury. A motherfucker with grit (1)
“I will solve your insomnia. how?”
“…….”
Javiel clenched his fists without realizing it..
Is this what it would feel like to get hit on the head with a hammer out of the blue?.
‘You know about my insomnia? Lloyd? how?’
Chronic insomnia that started bothering me a few years ago.
I have never revealed it.
No, I never told anyone..
I had no recollection of showing off at all..
“What do you mean by that?.”
An awkward smile appeared on Javiel's lips..
“Insomnia. I don't know what you're talking about all of a sudden..”
“Hmm, yeah?”
“yes.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. Javiel. I'm trying to play it off now.?”
“Of course not.”
“no?”
“yes.”
“But why are you smiling? It's also completely awkward.”
“yes?”
“You know what? This is the first time you're smiling in front of me, except for the bullshit.?”
“…….”
“Oh my. See how the smile disappears when it is pointed out to you. So it's too obvious. Are you embarrassed? Tsk tsk tsk, what are you doing with something like this?.”
“…….”
“Since I can see what's inside, it's okay to pretend. Let’s just make this clear. I solve your insomnia. Instead, you teach me swordsmanship. how is it? I think this is a pretty good deal..”
“…….”
Javiel was silent..
Honestly, I was embarrassed..
chronic insomnia.
It was a symptom that had suddenly been bothering him for three years..
The reason or cause was unknown..
At some point, my senses became so sensitive..
the sound of a minor grasshopper.
The sound of tree branches shaking in the wind.
Even the sound of the blanket shaking as you toss and turn..
sound heard by ears.
Various scenery reflected in the eyes.
Every touch that touches your skin.
Even the slightest smell of air felt with every breath.
Everything was so clearly caught in his senses..
Even when I closed my eyes, I could feel each and every blood vessel in my eyelids..
Even the sound of pulsing in my ear holes pierced my ears at every moment and every second..
In short, it felt like all my senses were piercing my whole body like needles 24 hours a day..
I couldn't fall asleep completely..
I was so exhausted from tossing and turning all night that the only sleep I could get was a little bit of sleep at dawn..
there was no solution.
I tried everything but it was no use.
It's been 3 years already.
It was a pain that I kept hiding by groaning alone..
Or, it was a difficulty that could not be revealed hastily for fear of it becoming a weakness..
All I wanted was to get a good night's sleep..
‘But you know that? That fucking idiot? how?’
Javiel's expression turned cold..
Lloyd's eyes became sly..
‘How long. I know because I read the novel..’
Javiel was the main character of the novel Iron Blooded Knight..
I have read the contents of the novel carefully and remember it..
I know almost every little thing about Haviel..
The same was true for insomnia..
‘Right now, you probably don't know the cause of the insomnia that's bothering you. but i know.’
Sword Master Syndrome.
That was the cause of insomnia.
‘As the level of swordsmanship approaches that of a sword master, all senses become abnormally active. Is this a natural phenomenon experienced by humans as they move to the superhuman stage?.’
The same was true for Javiel..
He reached the advanced level of Sword Expert at only 17 years old..
At the same time, Sword Master Syndrome began..
I spent every night tossing and turning in pain..
Nevertheless, the cause was not known for a long time.
There is only one reason.
It was because Javiel was from the countryside..
‘In rural areas like this, it is difficult to find an intermediate sword expert, let alone an advanced sword expert. No, if you search around the capital of any kingdom, you will find that there are at most three advanced levels. So, information about Sword Master Syndrome was not commonly available..’
If there was a world with the internet.
‘It would have been information that could be easily accessed just by searching ‘Naver Knowledgein’..
On the other hand, this place was different..
Transfer of knowledge through limited personal connections or books.
Or, it is transmitted through word of mouth, where it is difficult to determine the authenticity..
Other than that, there were almost no ways to acquire new information..
For that reason, Javiel in the novel does not realize the true nature of his insomnia until two years from now. And it wasn't until three more years later that she overcame her insomnia through a chance encounter..
‘I'm going to bring it forward, I.’
I know how.
So definitely.
“I think it will be successful. How are you??”
“Do I really have to answer??”
“Well, it's not even an obligation..”
Lloyd said while chopping his salad with a fork..
“Do not misunderstand. Isn’t this a hard sell? I'm just asking you to believe it once..”
“You mean Lloyd??”
“uh.”
“…….”
“Good things are good things. In times like this, please trust each other. Building constructive relationships through trust. Helping you in difficult times Such is social life and life. is not it?”
“…….”
“Why is your expression so sullen??”
“…….”
“Do I sound like a fraud when I say this??”
“To be honest, it's a bit like that..”
“I'm not that trustworthy?”
“yes.”
Javiel nodded resolutely..
Lloyd licked his lips..
“Then how about doing it like this? Let's build one when we implement it..”
“When implemented, do you mean?”
“uh. We're trying to build trust with each other. If you get lucky, I'll do it.”
“what…….”
“Then, let’s try it with the ‘swing’. Come on, try your luck.”
“…….”
“hurry.”
“……that.”
“Will you believe me, my faithful knight Habiel??”
“Yes it is.”
“…….”
“What a sudden transition. If you thought such a trick would work easily, you are mistaken..”
“omg.”
“Rather than that, I would like to ask a question..”
“Phew, tsk. What.”
“Why are you suddenly carrying a summoning book with you?.”
Javiel's gaze was directed to the table in front of Lloyd..
Summoning Basic Spellbook.
It was the book Lloyd was reading while eating..
“Ah, this?”
Lloyd chuckled..
“I'm just reading because I'm bored.”
“yes?”
“Just reading. then no?”
“…….”
Javiel kept his mouth shut..
Lloyd's smile deepened..
“Javiel, your intentions are so obvious. I'm trying to change the topic like this.?”
“I just asked a question.”
“That's it. Let’s stop talking about what we were talking about..”
“…….”
“So, you don't believe me.?”
“That's right.”
“why?”
“There is no particular reason.”
“I just can't believe it?”
“yes. I just can't believe it. Why not??”
“…….”
Reverse counter following the counter.
As expected, Haviel is not an easy guy..
Lloyd grinned..
“Now you think you've hit me hard?”
“I don't really think so.”
“That's right?”
“yes. I just gave you an honest answer..”
“Well, okay. Well, that's all for today's story..”
“Today's story?”
“Let's talk about tomorrow tomorrow.”
Lloyd put down his fork..
finished eating.
After that, I leaned on the back of my chair and concentrated on reading the summons..
Didn't even give Javiel a glance.
Of course, I didn't even talk to him..
When the maids put away the dishes and leave.
It's been like that ever since..
In the bedroom, only the sound of books turning over was heard quietly..
In the meantime, Javiel faithfully stayed by Lloyd's side..
With a slightly more complicated expression than usual.
The night got deeper.
♣
A few days have passed.
So far, the construction of the ondol room has proceeded smoothly..
Under the proper supervision of Lord Bavaria, the soldiers' movements became more orderly..
The soldiers were barely able to move one bag of red clay on the first day..
But things changed as a few days passed..
I gained stamina.
My strength increased.
I got the hang of it.
Now I can carry two sacks with ease..
This was thanks to the moderate intensity of work, rest, and proper nutrition every day..
Skilled workers also acquired more skills.
They soak up water like a sponge.
Or, just as the sweet and sour pork batter mercilessly absorbs the sauce..
I quickly learned new knowledge and concepts taught by Lloyd..
The construction of the first house was completed successfully..
It became more comfortable starting with the construction of the second house..
There is no longer a need to stay on site all day..
All you had to do was visit the site once a day..
Is the scene running properly?.
Is construction progressing according to the drawings?.
Is there anything missing or mistake?.
As long as I did a general inspection, things started running on their own..
Thanks to this, I was able to use the remaining time faithfully throughout the day..
It was a peck at Javiel..
“Did you sleep well last night??”
“Yes, I slept well..”
“That's right?”
“yes.”
“You really can't lie.”
“Do you mean me?”
“uh.”
“No way.”
“No way, what.”
“…….”
“You know what? It's really obvious when you lie.”
“What part are you talking about specifically?.”
“Want me to tell you? Nope.”
“…….”
“After I tell you, I'm going to act so that it doesn't show..”
“no.”
“no?”
“yes.”
Javiel momentarily avoids looking at me while answering..
As expected, that guy has no talent for lying..
Lloyd chuckled..
“I still hate it. I won't tell this to someone with insomnia..”
“…….”
“Where did this come from? On the subject of not being able to sleep.”
“…….”
“Are you upset? Are you sad? Then accept my offer.”
“I don't like it.”
“They say it will help you sleep well?”
“I still don't like it.”
“Because you don’t trust me?”
“That's right.”
……It was like that..
But Lloyd never gave up.
I suddenly asked while eating breakfast..
“Hey, Habiel?”
“Yes, Lloyd..”
“Did you sleep well last night??”
“…….”
“Take the offer, now?”
“I don't like it.”
I asked again while walking down the hallway..
“You know, Javiel..”
“Please speak, Lloyd..”
“It's okay to keep having trouble sleeping?”
“…….”
“So, accept the offer..”
“I refuse.”
I also asked on the way out for the on-site inspection..
“Oh, that's right. Javiel?”
“Yes, Lloyd..”
“How does it feel when you can't sleep all night??”
“…….”
“I don't think I'll accept the offer anymore.?”
“It doesn't cost anything at all.”
Even during dinner, I suddenly asked.
“Hmm. Javiel?”
“……Tell me.”
“Are you actually enjoying not being able to sleep? Endorphins are rushing out? I feel a sense of pleasure?”
“…….”
“Pervert, pervert.”
“…….”
Even when I was lying down to sleep, he attacked me and asked me again..
“Ugh, Javielle.?”
“…….”
“I won't sleep well tonight either.?”
“…….”
“Instead, I'll give you a good night's sleep. Thank you, right? not happy?”
“…….”
“Are you familiar with this? Please answer without swearing with your eyes..”
“Phew, I get it..”
“What do you mean you understand?.”
“Lloyd's suggestion, I will accept it..”
“really?”
“yes.”
Lloyd jumped up..
Javiel bit his lip..
I'm so sick of it now.
I felt like I was dying after torturing people like that all day long..
I was so nervous that it was almost impossible to even doze off..
‘Of course, I don't believe in Lloyd's suggestion..’
Lloyd Frontera.
He is not a very trustworthy person..
But to stop those damn ridicules and questions?
I thought this was the only way..
“In any case, this is an acceptance subject to the premise that Mr. Lloyd really solves my insomnia. So solving my insomnia comes first..”
Of course nothing will be solved.
I didn't have any expectations that Lloyd would have that ability..
It would be better to accept the offer and let it fail..
It seemed easier to give up so cleanly..
‘Because I don’t want to teach you swordsmanship..’
I couldn't believe Lloyd..
Until recently, I was a person who drank every day and got into accidents..
He's shown a bit of a change recently, but I don't know how long that will last..
You never know when bad habits will rear their head again..
‘But teaching someone like that how to use a sword? nonsense.’
It would be better to put a knife in the hand of a child..
Thinking so, Javiel said.
“Honey Lloyd, please prove it first. That I could solve my insomnia..”
“Ok, fine. I want to sit here first?”
“All right.”
Javiel did as Lloyd told him and sat down on the relaxation chair..
And I snorted inwardly..
It was because I saw Lloyd clearing his throat..
‘Are you really trying to sing me a lullaby?.’
A lullaby.
It wasn't even funny.
At the same time, I felt confident..
Tonight, there will never be a miracle like the lie of falling asleep soundly..
But the moment Lloyd opens his mouth.
His confidence began to crack..
“When performing a tensile test on a reinforcing bar by applying a specified stress of the steel material corresponding to the yield strength ??? can.”
‘……uh?’
It was something I couldn't understand..
I'm sure I'm just saying something ordinary..
It's not like I'm speaking a mysterious foreign language..
So, I'm speaking Korean..
Somehow I couldn't understand a thing..
Moreover, those words continued endlessly.!
“……However, the yield strength cannot be designed to be more than 5,500kgf/cm2. This is because the yield strain when the yield strength of the reinforcing bar is 5,500kgf/㎠ is almost the same as the ultimate strain of concrete on the compression side, 0.003. and…….”
‘…….’
For some reason, I became dazed as I listened..
This is definitely the real world.
I felt like I was losing my mind..
“And about the amount of rebar... … blah blah… … Except for slabs that require static reinforcing bars… … This and that... … The reinforcement ratio P is the given reinforcement cross-sectional area... … This and that... … The minimum rebar ratio must be more than ????min=14/????y... … Blah blah…….”
‘…….’
I became drowsy.
My whole body is pounding.
Consciousness creeps in.
The boundary between reality and space has become blurred..
resistance was meaningless.
Even if I widen my eyes.
Even if I wiggle my hands.
Didn't listen to anything.
‘When you fall asleep... … It doesn't work…….’
“……The unit of ????y here is kgf/㎠... … Know the Miju… … The reason for the minimum rebar cost is… … Yallyyallyyalasheng… … This is to prevent sudden bending failure… … Flexural member and 0.10????ck⦁A or… … Shallari Shalla…….”
‘…….’
This is a reading of a major book that boasts more destructive power than sleeping pills(?).
That was it..
Javiel's eyes relaxed..
My eyelids slid shut..
I lost consciousness.
My whole body was sagging in the relaxation chair..
I fell asleep completely without realizing it..
A smile of remorse appeared on Lloyd's lips..
‘It's just like the scene in the novel..’
That day in the novel when Javiel overcame insomnia for the first time.
That day, he happened to hear a complex magic spell being recited..
I fell asleep without realizing it due to the soft and endless reading..
Like right now.
Now, Javiel will never forget the taste(?) of the comfortable sleep he experienced today..
I will be unable to fall asleep without the lullaby service from my major..
Lloyd's smile changed from happy to evil..
‘Now your sword skills are all mine.’
