History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 166

166fury. Undercover (2)

‘Javiel?’

Lloyd almost stabbed his own eyeball with the finger he was rubbing around his eye..

It had to be that way..

Because it was so absurd.

‘what? You don’t like prying into someone’s life because it’s dishonest? He said he felt skeptical because it did not seem to suit his duties.?’

I remembered something that happened around midnight a few days ago..

The guy who returned to his dorm under the pale moonlight.

He had a face filled with self-destruction and skepticism..

He was very resistant to our orders to investigate Cannavaro..

I coaxed that guy and sent him back..

After that, I wondered why there was no news for a few days..

‘……Were you actually enjoying it?.’

plain dress.

Shiny straight hair silver wig.

When I saw Javiel lightly powdered there, I sighed and admired him at the same time..

It felt so amazing.

Because he is a really handsome guy.

He even has a good-looking appearance and is a busty guy..

Just by wearing a little makeup like that, I felt like a peerless beauty..

‘Plus, she's slim. Although he is full of muscle on the inside, he has no flab at all, so he looks very slim when he puts on clothes. Although being tall is a bit burdensome. Still, people here think I look like a supermodel..’

Anyway, it seemed like it was thanks to that(?).

Javiel's popularity at the distribution center seemed to skyrocket..

It even made me feel like I was at the concert hall or fan signing event of Kwice, the strongest female idol on Earth..

It was then.

“hey? Ibo show.”

Someone tapped my shoulder from behind.

When I turned around, I saw a man who looked like a refugee giving me a crooked look..

“Well, if we're standing in line, let's move quickly. Why are people so slow??”

“ah?”

“Let's go and stop freaking out.?”

“What?”

The man pushed his back with his whole body.

No, it wasn't just him..

Dozens of people lined up behind him all shifted their weight and moved forward..

It was a familiar feeling that was somehow unfamiliar..

‘This is subway line 2 during morning rush hour.?’

Sindorim Station came to mind..

Sindorim Station during rush hour.

It wasn't just an ordinary subway station..

It was a melting pot and a battlefield where all kinds of people were pushing against each other..

It was also a mysterious space where something happened every day where I could often move without my having to move, just by the pressure of people around me..

But it was just like that now..

Lloyd came through the crowd to check on Javiel. He suddenly got caught up in the crowd of people lining up at the distribution center..

I tried to get out, but it was already too late..

Suddenly, we stood in line together..

Oh Sun-do-sun experienced forced bu-bi-bu-bi..

Meanwhile, I was forcibly pushed away..

To Haviel, who is revered as the goddess(?) of the distribution center.

“…….”

“…….”

Javiel blinked as he looked this way..

This person is smiling a half-rotten smile at him..

Even for a moment that silence.

The guy said it in a flirtatious way..

“Hold out the bowl, please..”

“ah.”

I suddenly picked up a wooden bowl..

I held it out towards the guy..

A question came out of my mouth without me realizing it..

“Excuse me, Lady's name is?”

“ah… … This is Ella.”

“Ella?”

“yes. When you say ella, it’s ‘el’, when you say ella, it’s ‘la’..”

“…….”

Seeing that he gave an uncharacteristically stupid answer, he seemed to be just as confused as me..

‘boy ~.’

I guess they infiltrated the distribution center like this to make the background investigation they ordered more thorough..

Lloyd backed away at that point so as not to embarrass Javiel further..

“Thank you, Miss Ella. Well then, that's it.‘

got soup.

I one-shotted it and barely escaped the line..

Just as I was barely able to take a breather, Count Namaran's administrator approached me..

“Hehe, Prince Frontera, I didn’t see it that way.?”

“yes?”

Lloyd tilted his head..

What are you saying, this guy?.

Also, why are you spinning around like that?.

The administrator gave me a wry smile as if he was pretending not to know something..

“When I told you about that beautiful woman earlier, you didn't seem to be very interested. But when I saw him, I didn't know he was more active than me.?”

“…….”

“What was it like talking to you in person? What about your voice? What about the way you speak??”

“Oh, really. If you're curious, go and check it out yourself. Let’s get to work, let’s get to work. Hmmm!”

Lloyd pretended to be angry and cleared his throat..

My mouth was itching..

You all are being deceived.

If you know that lady who is either Elaine or Elaine, she is a man who you wouldn't even find gentle. Moreover, his sleeping habits are so bad that he cannot sleep without a lullaby..

In my opinion, I wanted to tell everyone in the neighborhood..

It was because I felt sorry for the people who reacted as if they were lovesick without knowing who that guy was..

But he zipped his lips for the greater good..

‘First of all, that guy, Javiel, is undercover..’

I'm not the type of guy who would do something like that for a joke..

There must be a reason why he does that..

They must have smelled something distinct and are trying to sneak in by doing something like that..

‘Let's believe it for now.’

Let's just let him do what he does for now..

With that in mind, Lloyd hurried his steps..

I thought that as much as Javiel worked hard to carry out our orders, we also had to do our part..

So, under the guidance of the administrator, I went to the blacksmith shop..

I requested the blacksmith to make an anchor..

At first, the blacksmith was tilting his head..

It was only natural that the anchor itself was unfamiliar to me..

However, when I handed him a pre-drawn blueprint and explained it in detail, he nodded as if he understood..

‘thank god. They say he's the most trustworthy blacksmith in this city. It's nothing compared to the incredible skills of old Corgidus, but I can trust him as an anchor..’

Thanks to you, I have one less thing to worry about..

Afterwards, Lloyd went out of the castle alone..

I walked around the castle wall and along the cliff slope..

Used the surveying skill.

The skill option ‘Underground Scanning’ was activated..

‘From now on, we'll have to put stakes and anchors all over the place, so let's look at it in a little more detail..’

How to actually drive an artificial stake.

How to set the angle and depth of the anchor.

We looked closely at the actual construction site..

‘Hmm, it would be advantageous to increase the overall structural stability by inserting artificial piles in the flat areas that form the road, and to install anchors on the slopes to prevent runoff. It would be enough to construct it repeatedly from the top of the castle wall to the bottom of the cliff..’

With that in mind, I carefully collected data on the actual terrain..

Bedrock information was also thoroughly captured..

But it was in the meantime.

‘hmm?’

A strange object was detected while examining the ground through underground scanning..

‘What is that??’

The depth is about 50 centimeters below the surface..

At first I thought it was just an ordinary rock..

But it wasn't.

The top is pure white and round..

The bottom is angled and bumpy..

That's right…….

‘It's a skull, right? Why is something like that there??’

Lloyd frowned..

Literally, the entire human skull was buried in the ground..

But no matter how you look at it, it was not a place to build a grave..

Plus, it's just a skull.

The bones of the body were not even visible nearby..

‘Are only the heads of the executed people buried here?.’

Lloyd shrugged..

Well, it's around a big city..

Because it is a place with a deep history..

All sorts of things must have happened over a long period of time..

It would not be a big deal to have a skull of an executed person buried nearby. Thinking like that, Lloyd passed by the unclaimed skull he could detect in the ground..

I continued to concentrate on what I was doing..

Activating the surveying skill.

Focusing on underground scanning.

I walked around while understanding the construction site..

But how long did it take to walk like that?.

Another skull detected in his underground scanning.

‘What is that?.’

Lloyd's brow furrowed..

It was so similar to before.

Depth is about 50cm from the ground surface..

Only the skull was buried in the ground, without a body..

He passed by that place again, tilting his head..

‘I feel uncomfortable for no reason. Or is my luck special today? If it were Korea, this would be today’s lottery ticket..’

Without realizing it, I shy away from a thought that suddenly comes to mind..

He shook off the uncomfortable feeling..

I once again immersed myself in my work..

But after 10 minutes.

He could no longer snicker and laugh..

‘what. There's more?’

I saw the skull again.

50cm deep from the same surface as before.

Moreover, when I looked closely, I saw that the skull was buried upright in the ground, just like the previous two times, facing the city..

“…….”

He looked back with stern eyes..

I looked in the distance at the spot where the first and second skulls were discovered..

And I checked the distance to where I am now using my surveying skill..

Surprisingly, the spacing between the three points was exactly the same..

‘I think there's something to this.?’

It's just the skull of an executed person buried haphazardly.?

I thought it would never happen..

Three skulls were buried at the same depth and orientation.

Moreover, the spacing between buried points was almost the same..

As for how identical it was, the error was only about 10 centimeters..

‘At this level, it can be said that he almost went to bed, decided on a place, and buried it. So this wasn't just buried by chance. There's definitely something to this.’

Lloyd was already rummaging through his backpack..

I took out a folding hand shovel..

I dug hard at the place where the skull was buried..

Soon he was able to unearth the skull..

But the moment you reach in to pull the skull out of the hole,.

Parts!

“……Tsk!”

Pain hit my fingertips as if I had been shocked by electricity..

Lloyd hurriedly retracted his hands and examined the skull..

‘Magic?’

I couldn't feel it when I was buried in the ground..

I felt like it was dug up like this and made visible..

I saw it through a dark mind.

A high density of mana was gathered.

It was an extremely gloomy, dark, and evil type of mana..

It was from the moment I sensed it..

‘wait for a sec. No way, this…….’

Lloyd's brain started spinning..

Skulls buried at regular intervals.

The gloomy mana condensed in that skull..

Based on that, I tried to think about it..

inference and inference.

guesses and predictions.

facts and opinions.

reality and falsity.

Clearly sorted out, classified, and put together..

Predictions and inferences were made based on evidence and phenomena revealed before our eyes..

At the end of the puzzle that was put together like that, the conclusion was carefully revealed..

‘The Wall of Namaran. I was making this.’

I got goosebumps at the end of the realization..

Suddenly, the Namaran Wall episode from the novel Iron Blood Knight came to mind..

Javiel in the novel experienced hardship and frustration before the wall..

We overcame that and achieved dramatic growth..

Most of the story's focus was on the process of breaking Namaran's barrier and achieving heroic achievements..

Thanks to this, the detailed principles of how the wall was created were not revealed..

‘That was this. A skull filled with black magic. By burying it around the city.’

He looked at the skull with new eyes..

thought at the same time.

If I could disperse the mana condensed here?

Then the black magic might disappear.

That we could prevent the wall of Namaran from being built..

‘Should I try it?.’

He looked at the amount of mana condensed in the skull..

And I checked my shabby way of thinking..

‘Triple Circle Level 2.’

What if we mobilize all of this?.

Can we dismantle that concentrated mana?.

I measured the angles calmly and objectively..

‘Is it possible?.’

I got the answer.

Then there is no reason to hesitate.

Kiiiiing!

There were no eyes around at the time..

He stretched out his hand, activating a vague mental technique..

Demonstrated the mana absorption ability of the Heart Beop to its full potential..

The moment your fingertips touch the top of your skull.

‘Inhale.’

An extremely gloomy mana surged through my fingertips like a tidal wave..

‘You shouldn't eat this. I have an upset stomach.’

The three-pronged circle was rotated to its maximum extent..

I sent the gloomy mana flowing into my body to the other hand. Like unraveling a skein of thread. Meticulously. released. I sent it flying away. into the air. Like smoking. Step by step. Surely.

How long was it like that?.

After about a few minutes.

“……Whoa!”

Lloyd let out a deep breath..

His face was slightly pale..

But there was a proud smile on my face..

‘I did it.’

Is this what the bomb disposal team feels like?.

Fortunately, the three circles withstood mana absorption, dissolution, and discharge well..

The gloomy mana condensed on the skull in the pit has completely disappeared..

He took the skull out of the hole.

It was to take a look.

But that was then..

rattle.

There was a sound inside my skull..

The sound of something small and solid rolling around.

“uh?”

Lloyd's eyes widened as he examined the inside of the skull..

“jewel?”

A jewel as black as obsidian lay inside the skull..

The size is about the size of a thumb nail..

Even at a glance, it was shiny and shiny..

In short, it was a very expensive-looking gem..

‘for a moment. So this, the skull, was the packaging box that contained this jewel. The condensed mana was contained in the jewel. Anyway, since I dismantled Mana, this gem also became ordinary.…….’

From now on, this jewel belongs to me..

seed profit.

A smile of capitalist greed appeared at the corner of Lloyd's mouth. My heart suddenly beat to the 16-beat Jajinmori rhythm..

It was from then on..

‘Treasure hunt, start.’

Lloyd started running around the cliff slope around Namaran until his feet were sweating..

Like a puppy panting for a bone.

Like skipping meat from curry without my mom knowing..

I explored the underground until my eyes turned red..

In this way, the evil plans of the warlocks are also thwarted..

Feed the enemy some sweets.

At the same time, I also carefully stocked up on expensive jewelry..

To fill my wallet richly and full.

It was a journey of desire willing to take place in the name of justice..
