sick.
It is unfair.
little bit more.
If only I had a few more days.
If that were the case, all plans would have been realized as planned..
- Alicia… … Termina Magentano… … that abominable…….
Warlock Targa had a look of resentment on his face..
King Alicia’s eyes sparkled coldly..
The blade of the sword digging into his neck as frighteningly as his eyes..
That cold feeling was the last memory of my life..
His own head cut off with a single sword.
The dirty feeling of the moment my head floated in the air and then fell to the floor and rolled around like a ball..
However, regardless of that feeling, the urgency of the last few seconds made it necessary to activate the final secret strategy..
I still couldn't forget it.
Reluctantly.
I really can't help it.
There's really no other way than this.
It was like that even now, when he gave up his body that was on the verge of death and transferred his soul into this huge bone..
I was angry.
My teeth were shaking.
So I promised myself to be patient..
little bit more.
If only we had a few more months.
Then all your revenge will come true as you wish..
- Once my spirit settles down…….
Dragon bones stored in a luxurious treasury.
The huge skull moved slightly, clattering with dark resentment..

“You said you've never designed a garden, I guess.?”
“Yeah, it just so happened that.”
It's starting again.
Lloyd smiled sheepishly and thought..
Viscount Noord smiled proudly..
“It's okay. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Because you don't have a long career anyway. Rather, wouldn’t this be an opportunity to have a good experience??”
“This is a natural statement. I only trust you, Viscount..”
“Hehehe, is that so? It feels like they're giving me too much credit and only leaving the work to me.?”
“Oh, did you get caught??”
“I can see clearly, man..”
“Still, I can't help it. How dare I compete with you in the field of garden design?.”
“Hehe, it's true no matter what this friend says…….”
The Viscount's gums were in full bloom in his smile..
Unlike the waving gesture, it is an expression that is never disliked..
The more it happened, the more moist and chewy Lloyd's sweet talk became..
“no. I'm serious. So, I would like to feel many things by looking at Viscount’s design from the side. Like you said, it will be a really good experience..”
“Hehehe. This guy decided to steal my design techniques.?”
“Isn’t that how juniors are supposed to grow up like this??”
“Wow, that's really interesting. Even if I say something like this, I don't hate it.”
“no. It's because the Viscount is so generous and looks upon me favorably..”
“is it?”
“yep.”
“Hehehe, really!”
The Viscount continued to laugh happily..
And then I spread out the wad of paper on the workbench..
“So, would you take a look at this? I was thinking about the grand scheme of the garden last night..”
“Have you already started the basic design??”
“Because there is no reason to delay.”
Viscount Noord shrugged his shoulders..
“It seems like the land, the space to be decorated as a garden, keeps asking me for favors. Please make it beautiful quickly. I ask you to allow me to reveal my true self..”
“…….”
“That's why. I don't know what you think, but I really enjoy this process. My heart trembles and I am happy. This process is like discovering the beauty, balance, and harmony hidden in that randomly placed space little by little by my own hands..”
Viscount Noord speaks carefully while looking at the drawing..
Looking at the Viscount's profile like that, Lloyd suddenly thought for the first time that he was a cool guy..
‘This person truly loves garden design..’
just for money.
Or for a handsome reward.
I felt like I was different from someone who takes charge of tasks and handles them like a snob..
So I thought.
‘Ah, I can entrust the gun to you more effectively..’
Let’s give them more work and admire them..
Then, this person's happiness index will skyrocket..
At the same time, I can comfortably work as a salaried Lupin..
‘This is true mutual assistance, what else is this if not a win-win?!’
It was from then on..
Lloyd further praised Viscount Noord without any compunction..
With a truly happy face, Viscount Noord undertook the survey and then the design..
But that didn't mean that everything could be left to the viscount alone..
About 15 days after the full-scale garden design began,.
Viscount Noord said with an embarrassed face..
“Phew, I'm worried about this..”
“yes? Is there any problem??”
Has this side been taking over the work too blatantly?.
So has the Viscount finally reached the limit of his patience?.
Lloyd asked slightly worried..
Fortunately, that wasn't the Viscount's concern..
“This is because of the waterway specially ordered by His Majesty the King for this construction..”
“Because of the waterways.?”
“That's right. You remember, right? The Majena River runs through the royal capital. Didn't Your Majesty tell us to draw water from that river and create a channel in the garden?.”
“Yes, I did..”
“He also requested that a ship capable of carrying up to 50 people be allowed to leisurely pass through the waterway and admire His Majesty's statue and dragon skeleton..”
“Yes, I remember too..”
“That's why. Well, it's good to build a waterway.…….”
“Is there a problem with the waterway design??”
The Viscount scratched his head at this question..
“The water level difference between the entrance point of the waterway where water from the river enters the garden and the outlet point where it goes around the garden and exits is greater than expected..”
“You're saying the water will flow faster than expected..”
“Yeah, that's it.”
The Viscount touched his tired eyes..
“The flow speed is much faster than expected. Of course you can launch a boat. But if things continue like this, I'll have to give up leisurely viewing the garden..”
“Hmm, I guess so..”
Lloyd shook his head as he looked at the drawing the Viscount pointed to..
Looking at it this way, the difference in water levels at both ends of the waterway was clearly larger than expected..
‘This isn't just big, it's almost 25 meters long.?’
But if you launch a boat on a waterway like this,?
To exaggerate a bit, it's not a cruise ship, it's an amusement park flume ride..
Admire the beautiful garden?
Marvel at the magnificent stone statues and dragon skeletons?
That kind of leisure becomes a story of dreamland..
‘Either everyone is busy throwing up all over the place due to seasickness, or it will be a full-fledged Grand Canyon whitewater tour where you can enjoy an unexpected thrill..’
Lloyd asked after gathering his thoughts..
“Then, how about extending the waterway itself??”
It would be the simplest solution..
As if the road coming down from the steep mountain was intentionally made into a round and round hairpin course..
If you extend the length of the waterway as much as possible, you will be able to control the flow rate to some extent..
But the Viscount shook his head..
“no. It's not like I haven't thought about that either..”
“Is there a problem with that method too??”
“That's right. It's not beautiful.”
“yes?”
“The waterway is spread out too scatteredly. In such a large garden, each section has its own theme, but if the waterway is expanded too much, the space allocated to the waterway will invade all the themes. You can't do that..”
“Then, how about using a double-opening miter gate??”
“……what?”
Viscount Noord paused..
Double opening type?
miter gate?
Towards the puzzled man, Lloyd said as if it was no big deal..
“Actually, it's not that complicated of a concept. Can I use a pen for a moment??”
“Uh, here it is.”
“thank you If I were to simply draw the principle with a picture, it would be like this. It is made by cutting off the waterway in steps..”
“for a moment. And what about the boat? How do you get through the terraced waterway?.”
“That's why there is a lock gate..”
Swish swish.
Lloyd smiled and drew a rough outline of the lock..
“A lock is built in the middle of the waterway, that is, at the end of the stairs. What if a ship comes through the lock? Then, block the road where the ship entered. It's like putting them in a fish tank..”
“Then?”
“Just drain the water from the fish tank..”
Lloyd quickly drew the water level in the picture at a lower level..
“If you drain the water from the fish tank, wouldn't the boat go down along with the lower water level??”
“I guess so.”
“When the water level drops sufficiently, you can open the lock on the opposite side from the one you blocked earlier..”
“……ah.”
The Viscount's eyes twinkled..
“The 'next staircase' of the waterway leads from the lock on the other side. A waterway with a water level one space lower. Am I right?”
“Yes, that's an accurate summary..”
Lloyd nodded..
It's actually a simple principle.
A lock, a bulkhead, is built at a specific point in the waterway to block the waterway..
When the ship enters the lock gate, close the lock gate.?
The space inside the lock becomes a square fish tank..
Then, adjust the water level by adding or removing water from the fish tank..
When going from a high water level to a low water level?
Just drain the water..
When going from a low place to a high waterway?
Just add water.
You can add and drain water according to the water channels on both sides of different heights..
It literally acts as a ship elevator..
Like the locks on the Canal Saint Martin in Paris, France..
“Of course, the lock itself has to withstand the water pressure, so you can't just make it bigger. According to my calculations, the water level can be adjusted by about 3 meters per lock..”
“Does that mean we can install such locks throughout the waterway??”
“yes. Then, it will be possible to maintain a very gentle flow speed throughout the waterway and allow leisurely operation of tourist ships..”
“I guess so. In addition, passengers who see the garden on a boat will be mesmerized by the sight of the lock gate in operation. Then we can decorate the inside of the lock beautifully. This is to capture people's attention the moment the water recedes and the inner surface of the lock is revealed..”
“……Oh, that's something I hadn't thought of either..”
“is it?”
“yes. I really didn't think about it that far. You are also a viscount..”
“Hehe, this friend is humble. Hehehe.”
Viscount Noord chuckled..
At the same time, he was secretly impressed.
I looked at Lloyd with meaningful eyes..
‘This guy is really considerate of me..’
In fact, it was something I felt from the day we first met, when he was polite to me..
This young guy isn't showing his full potential..
Don't pretend to know anything.
Rather, be wary of praise from those around you..
He always seemed to humble himself..
It was like that just now..
‘It's a lock. I never even thought about using it for a waterway in the garden. But he seemed to choose his words so as not to make me feel embarrassed about that..’
He even gave credit for the idea of decorating the lock at the end..
He acted like he hadn't even thought of it that way..
Of course, the Viscount could see that it was Lloyd's consideration..
‘There's no way the person who suggested applying locks to the garden wouldn't have thought about that. This is clearly an attempt to take credit for this idea from me..’
why?
I didn't know why.
However, the Viscount did not hate Lloyd..
No, on the other hand, it felt amazing..
Maybe, just maybe, he's actually more capable than you.
I was grateful for a young friend who did not reveal it carelessly and took care of his pride..
At the same time, I felt a subtle sense of friendly competition..
That's why.
‘I guess I'll have to work harder.’
It is unacceptable to blindly rely on the favor of juniors in the industry..
Here too, you will need to demonstrate the experience and abilities you have accumulated over a long period of time..
In this way, the Viscount became even more motivated..
It was from that day.
Active leadership of Viscount Noord, who carried the rifle.
And thanks to Lloyd’s appropriate participation,.
The largest garden in the history of the Magentano royal family has been designed in earnest..
Construction began with the full support of the royal family..
The number of mobilized workers was around 5,000..
Even royal wizards rolled up their sleeves.
Powerful magic tore up, turned over, and straightened the land..
Thousands of workers sweated with shovels and tools..
Lloyd's phantom species also joined in..
“Now, you know? Dig, peel, remove!”
“Po, bang, ha, kko!”
Podongi dug a waterway..
The bell swallowed a pile of dirt..
Hamangi brought water and filled the pond..
Komingi was busy moving thousands of trees..
On the other hand, I contacted Frontera territory and even invited Bibengi..
“Bibbeong-!”
Throughout the work, Bibeongi tried to appeal to Bangpouli about his immense strength and tireless toughness. In other words, he participated in the construction with all his passion..
100As meter-sized phantom species actively joined in, the speed of construction became surprisingly fast..
The seasons changed quickly.
The autumn leaves became darker.
leaves have fallen.
The tree branches became thin.
Pure white frost covered the branches.
After the end of the year with the first snow falling,.
Everyone is getting older by one year.
Javiel made fun of Lloyd again with that.
Lloyd was trembling and making a fuss..
While fighting, flower buds form.
One day in early spring when magnolias are in full bloom.
‘Termina Grand Garden’, an ambitious show window created by the Magentano royal family to reveal national power to the outside world, has been revealed to the world for the first time..
On that day, a festival was held in the royal capital, which welcomed the spring season..
A grand completion ceremony was held at the 'King's Advance Road' located in the center of Termina Grand Garden and the main square at the end, 'Magentano's Rest'..
A tall stone statue of the king.
A 200-meter-long dragon skeleton bowing down respectfully toward a stone statue..
Everyone who attended the completion ceremony exclaimed in exclamation at the magnificent majesty..
Maybe that was why.
Throughout the completion banquet,.
No one noticed that secret changes were beginning to occur in the dragon's skeleton..
Less and less…….
The dragon's skull is feeble, without anyone noticing.
but surely.
started to move.
