The best territory designer of all time - Episode 22

22fury. Second random draw (2)

Paaaat!

Pale light colored the space.

An unfamiliar silhouette began to appear..

Its true nature was revealed with an intense shock wave..

Pachi Chit!

“Bell!”

Something shouted loudly.

It fell in this direction.

Lloyd didn't want to miss it, so he quickly took 'it' with both hands..

Plump texture that falls into the palm of your hand.

What kind of fantasy species was chosen this time?.

Lloyd confirmed the appearance..

“Bell!”

“uh?”

10Centimeter long plump body.

big round head.

The eyes are round and bright..

There is even a golden bell tied with a ribbon decoration at the end of the tail..

“……snake?”

The new phantom species was a snake.

But it was a two-headed snake..

It wasn't an insult or a disparagement..

It was truly the size of a chubby 2-head body with an exact 1:1 ratio between head and body.!

“Are you really a snake??”

“Bell!”

I nod that’s right..

That smiling face was refreshing.

When I saw that, something suddenly occurred to me..

Lloyd asked.

“Is your name Baul??”

“Bell? Drop drops!”

A new phantom species, no, a bell nodding its head again.

As expected, my guess was correct..

‘Shouting out your own name is not uncommon..’

Famous cartoon Pixudo Pika Pika.

Thinking like that, I understood well the relationship between the names and cries of the phantom species..

Lloyd, who had been thinking about that, looked at Baeul-gi..

2It's a snake with a life-to-body ratio..

I had doubts about whether I could crawl properly..

But Lloyd did not make a hasty judgment..

He already had experience pulling out pudongi..

the experience told me.

You shouldn't judge a phantom species solely by its appearance..

“Oh, bell?”

“Bell?”

“Do you have a manual or something??”

“Ppadropul? Bell!”

I asked just in case and it was true..

The bell opened its mouth wide..

There was a lucky bag in the mouth..

When I opened the lucky bag, I found a set of 10 sunflower seeds and a neatly folded note..

Lloyd read the note carefully..

[Baeulgi user manual]

[Rattles are adorable rattlesnakes. Please take care of it with love and care..]

[Bell gives absolute trust and loyalty to you, the summoner. A phantom breed is a lifelong pet and another member of the family. Please don't carelessly abandon it..]

[Bellies can change their size by eating two types of sunflower seeds..]

[Red sunflower seeds: Makes bells huge. Maximum enlargement duration = 12 hours]

[Blue sunflower seeds: Makes the bells look cute. Please feed it before it exceeds its maximum gigantism maintenance time. If you go more than 12 hours without eating blue sunflower seeds while in the gigantic state, Bell will fall into a state of exhaustion. It will return to its small form on its own, but it will no longer be able to grow large again within 24 hours..]

[2The cost of purchasing a set of colored sunflower seeds is 1 RP..]

[Bell can use various skills while in a gigantic state..]

[Digging up dirt (Lv). 1)]

[Speed ​​up dirt digestion (Lv). 1)]

[Steel grunt discharge (Lv). 1)]

‘Huh, what is it? Digging up dirt? Accelerated digestion? Steel grunt discharge?’

Lloyd, who was looking at Bell's skill list, opened his mouth wide..

It was an absurd combination of skills..

‘It's impossible to eat dirt and make steel... … It doesn't mean everything?’

I thought, no way!.

He took out a red sunflower seed..

I handed it to Baeulgi as a test..

“Oh, bell?”

“Bell?”

“I want to try this?”

“Bell!”

Jeongbul quickly took a bite of the sunflower seed as if he had been waiting for it..

Lloyd put the bell on the ground. He quickly backed away..

Finally, the moment Baeulgi swallows the red sunflower seeds.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

“Bell!”

It became huge.

A chubby two-headed rattlesnake with a body length of 5 meters..

‘Yeah, I expected this much..’

It was Lloyd who had already experienced Podongi..

He approached the giant bell..

“Oh, bell?”

“Bell!”

“I want to try my skills as a test?”

“Bell?”

“Digging up dirt, digesting it, things like that. you can do it?”

“Drop drops?”

Jeongbul’s eyes became pale..

It was a look in his eyes that made him doubt his own abilities..

Lloyd was stingy..

‘Hmm, the reaction is sobering. Is Bangpolyi’s personality a bit different from Podong?.’

It seemed like that..

He changed his tone a little more to a request tone..

“Of course I believe in your abilities. That's because I wanted to take a look. I thought it would be cool.”

“Bell?”

“I'm serious.”

“Bell!”

Only then did Bang Bang’s expression clear up..

I twitched my chubby body as if I was feeling better..

Then he lowered his big, round head..

I opened my mouth towards the training ground floor..

“Drop drops!”

Hot! Mutter! gulp!

……Mom, he eats dirt.

Is that what I look like when I eat chicken?.

The bell ate the dirt so deliciously that it made me think so..

Scoop it up, swallow it down.

After eating like that for a while, he burped..

Then he suddenly started wagging his plump, short tail violently..

“Bell! Drop drops!”

Jingling jingling!

The ribbon bell at the end of the tail made a loud noise..

At the same time, the bell raised the tip of its tail..

He made an expression that gave strength..

next moment.

Tuhwahahahahaha!

A long, red-hot steel bullet was fired straight ahead.!

“…….”

This isn't some kind of nonsense.

Lloyd suppressed his bewilderment..

Instead, I looked at the steel bullet fired by Baeul-gi..

Only then was he able to realize the true power(?) of Baeul-i..

‘This is awesome.’

The sound that Baeul-i fired was really made of steel..

But it wasn't just a messy look..

‘It's rebar.’

It was about 10 meters long..

The thickness was similar to that of a thumb..

But it was constant.

There were no jagged spots at all..

It had a completely consistent thickness from beginning to end..

In other words, it was a perfectly refined rebar itself.!

‘Even super hot.’

Even now, the steel crack had not cooled down..

The heat remained and it turned red..

The meaning was clear.

‘You can cut it before it cools down. You can cut or bend it to any length you want..’

That is, it can be cut or bent to size on site and immediately used as a construction material..

This meant that rebar could now be used freely..

You can freely do that at any time as long as you feed it with dirt.!

‘Isn't it completely crazy??’

I liked it too much.

It was unbelievably awesome..

If you think about it, this wasn't just about pulling out rebar..

can scoop up dirt.

In other words, you can dig a tunnel..

So, if you include bells in the shield method you originally planned,?

‘Inside the shield device, the rat scoops up the dirt. Drill a hole. At the same time, steel groans… … So, discharge the rebar. Then the blacksmith cuts the rebar right on the spot. Workers can create and erect the segments that will support the shaft on site. When the plate wall is built, the shield is advanced again, the rat scoops up the dirt, and the rebar is pulled out.…….’

A work plan was steadily developed in my head..

The more I thought about it, the more amazed I became..

‘If this plan is realized, the construction period can be reduced by 1/10..’

Lloyd thought it would be great if there was just a guy with the ability to dig..

But when I pulled this out, it was even more amazing..

Lloyd looked back at Bell, feeling a little dazed..

“Oh, bell?”

“Bell?”

“Wow, it's really awesome.”

“Drop drops?”

“No, I think it's a huge hit..”

“Bell!”

Lloyd gave a thumbs up..

Jeongbul also smiled brightly as if he was happy..

***

Construction preparations have gained momentum.

It was from the day I got Baeul-i through a random drawing..

Lloyd designed the shield device to fit the bell..

The composition of the reinforcing bars that make up the segments and plate walls was also adjusted accordingly..

This was because Baulgi was the key to this construction..

“Podong! Podo-dong!”

“Bell?”

“Podong!”

“Drop drops!”

Fortunately, Podong and Bangbi got along well..

Because it was a hamster and a snake, I was worried that a tragedy might occur, but in hindsight, it turned out to be just unfounded..

Was it because of the sense of homogeneity of being the same phantom species?.

The fluffy hamster and the chubby two-headed rattlesnake instantly became best friends..

On days when we didn't have work, we stayed together all day, rolling around on the floor with our puffy, chubby bodies. We basked in the sun together, dozed off, basked in the sun again, or dozed off again..

‘Ugh. I hope you like it. Even though I roll around all day, I get complimented on how cute I am..’

While the two phantom species were rolling around, Lloyd was busy moving around..

I went in and out of the blacksmith shop every day..

I harassed the blacksmith all day..

Directly supervised the production of the designed shield device..

Thanks to this, after about ten days, the shield device was finally completed..

It was a cylindrical device that looked like a long Coke can laid down, with openings at the top and bottom..

The diameter of the cylinder is about 3 meters..

There was a seat at the front center of the cylinder for Baeulgi to ride(?). Around it, solid support structures to support the cylindrical outer wall were densely packed in a honeycomb shape..

There was space for the workers behind it..

There, workers would receive and cut the steel bars, or rebars, while being protected by the shield structure. It was possible to immediately build a plate wall to prevent the mine from collapsing..

‘That's enough now.’

The next step was manpower mobilization..

Lloyd organized the work crew.

Thanks to the permission of the lord, Baron Frontera, the work proceeded smoothly..

A group of blacksmiths who will cut hot rebar on site..

Even the engineers who will assist the blacksmith's work and advance the shield device..

The personnel composition was completed in an instant..

Work started immediately.

The true power(?) of the shield device shined through..

“Bell! Drop drops!”

The bell inside the shield device moved its big head back and forth..

With his wide-open mouth, he bit down on dirt and rocks and swallowed them..

After a while, my chubby stomach grumbled..

It shook its short tail violently..

Jingling jingling!

The bell on the tail rang loudly..

“comes out!”

The blacksmiths tensed at Lloyd's shout..

Soon, Baeul-gi’s steel screech was shot out in the form of a rebar..

Tuhwa Chemical!

The steel muscle turns red and shoots out like taffy sticks.!

“Hurry before it gets cold. Javiel!”

Lloyd shouted..

Javiel moved at his cry..

I took off my coat and threw it away..

drew the sword.

Grumble!

The longsword had a cool glow just like Haviel's expression..

It fell vertically like lightning..

The red color was directed at the iron bars..

Cheekkeok!

It was a sword that Javiel, a senior sword expert, struck with all his might..

The long sword cut the heated steel bar very cleanly..

It wasn't just one time either..

“hey! You are doing well according to the measurements, right??”

“of course.”

Tskkeok! Tskkeok! Stone bank! Stone bank! Thrash!

Javiel's longsword moved dazzlingly..

It hit the steel bar without stopping..

It was the iron-blooded sword that cut down countless powerful enemies in the original ‘Steel-Blooded Knight’..

But now it was being used to cut the steel blades of the phantom species..

The knife skills were neat, flashy, and precise, like the gimbap cutting skills of Han Seok-bong's mother, who sliced ​​rice cakes every night, or the woman who worked at Kimbab Heaven all her life..

Clang! iron gun!

Steel bars cut into dozens of long and short strands were lying around..

Everything was the same size as Lloyd instructed..

Lloyd gave a thumbs up..

“good! There wouldn't be an error in even a single perilla leaf.?”

“……thank you.”

Lloyd cheering.

Habiel sighs at his situation, having suddenly been reduced to a rebar cutter..

The next turn was for the blacksmiths..

“Move before the rebar cools down. Assemble it!”

“All right! Yeongtsah!”

Under Lloyd's command, the blacksmiths moved in perfect order..

Javiel bent the cut rebar to the size..

braided and tied.

fixed and assembled.

The board wall was built step by step. was built.

The cylindrical plate wall, made of tightly woven reinforcing bars, matched the size of the inner surface of the shield..

Lloyd shouted after confirming that..

“shield, advance!”

“Advance!”

Dozens of engineers recited in unison..

I pushed the lever connected behind the shield with force..

The heavy shield carrying Bell and the workers slowly moved forward..

It advanced exactly 1 meter into the space eaten by the bell..

A 1 meter long panel wall was left behind..

Grumble!

The shield that supported the mine shaft had passed forward..

Then the soil and rocks on the ceiling and walls of the tunnel shook..

But it didn't collapse.

This was because a plate wall remained in the empty space where the shield left, supporting the walls and ceiling of the tunnel..

Everything was as Lloyd had planned..

‘good. It works properly.’

Lloyd's eyes filled with confidence..

Lloyd's voice directing the work became more energetic..

At the same time, his eyes looked ahead more carefully..

Tsutsutsutsutsu!

Intermediate surveying skills that are constantly being activated.

Thanks to this, Lloyd was able to preview the situation 5 meters ahead of where the mine was to be dug..

What is the ground situation ahead?.

By any chance, are there any dangerous gas layers?.

I was able to see clearly and direct the work..

It was literally a ‘forecast for the future’ that took place in real time..

It was an ability comparable to the latest technologies such as seismic testing (TSP, HSP) or reflection photography, which are used to examine the ground in the actual modern world..

“Now, let's keep pushing!”

“Okay!”

“Bell!”

Lloyd's command, the workers' powerful commands, and Bell's loud cries rang out one after another..

The cries dug deeper and deeper into the side of the mountain..

Construction progress was rapid..

So everyone didn't know.

What kind of being will greet them at the end of this tunnel they are currently digging?.
