History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 264
264fury. Mermaids enjoy steaming (3)
Construction of an undersea cave sauna has begun..
“So, from now on, you just have to bring in the tube worm secretions..”
“bug… … Do you mean secretion?.”
“uh.”
“How much can I bring?.”
“As much as possible. Just keep going. Until I tell you to stop taking it.”
Lloyd chuckled and held out a conch shell..
A size that is completely different from a typical conch shell..
It was a huge shell, big enough for a decent person to fit into..
A sigh flowed from Haviel as he accepted the shell..
“All right.”
I don't like it.
But I can't help it.
Because what that fake guy does is always right..
Because it’s probably true this time too.
‘I always do the wrong thing. They may give orders that you don't understand or show strange behavior. But in hindsight, there was always a clear reason and purpose for that action or order..’
It was the fake Lloyd who saved the Frontera family from danger until now..
Javiel thought it would be like that this time too..
‘I don't know how building a sauna facility on the sea floor will lead to preventing the restoration of destiny, but let's follow it anyway. Let's believe it.’
Javiel moved obediently, recalling the actions of the fake Lloyd he had seen and felt so far..
We approached the bubbling hydrothermal vent..
Shhh!
Hundreds of tube worms greeted him..
As if sensing danger, it fired sticky secretions..
Javiel quickly picked up the conch shell..
Moving with exquisite timing, he caught the tube worm secretions with the conch shell..
‘Is this the sticky stuff that bugs usually use to build their nests? Looks like glue.’
I finally understood why Lloyd had asked me to bring him tube worm secretions..
The plan is to use this secretion as a cement substitute underwater..
It was from then on..
Javiel collected tube bug secretions all day and moved them to the sauna construction site..
Lloyd at the scene mixed the secretion with pearls from the sea floor..
Then, I applied it generously to the floor, walls, and ceiling of the underwater cave..
‘Uhmmm, uhuhmm. Lululu.’
Lloyd hums and applies special tube worm cement for underwater use..
He looked like a plasterer at a construction site..
In fact, he smoothened almost every surface of the underwater cave to be used as a sauna with pipe worm cement..
It was an enormous amount of hard work to do alone..
However, his physical strength was already far beyond that of an ordinary person..
‘Whoop! Whoosh! Hehehehehe!’
Manahart has already reached intermediate sword expert level..
In addition, it is equipped with a free play circle..
The result was an energizing stamina that never gets tired..
It was constantly moving.
Meanwhile, we did not forget to secure and bury a hydrothermal pipe to draw hot water from the hydrothermal well..
“Hey, now that we have the tube worm secretion, let's get some more..”
“Are you talking about the clam shell?.”
“Oh, even if I don't say anything, I act like a fool?”
“This is not the only project we have completed together with Lloyd..”
Javiel’s sighing complaints continued..
“After surveying, design. Foundation construction. Clearing the ground. Build a framework. Pour cement. Finish it. If pipes need to be buried, at a timing like now. Now I get the basics. What order does the scene work in?.”
“Is that so?.”
“yes.”
“Wow, that would be nice. i envy you. It will be fun. Sincere congratulations.”
“…….”
Really.
How did he get dragged to the bottom of the sea like this and do this kind of work with that person?.
Javiel felt a sense of self-destruction that was confusing him to the very core of his soul..
However, the busy movement did not stop..
I brought some clam shells that I had collected in advance..
We worked hard on the foundation together with Lloyd..
The pipe was cut and trimmed to the size it would be buried in..
The joints between pipes were joined with pipe worm cement..
And five deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimneys were connected to hydrothermal pipes..
“hey! push!”
Quack!
Lloyd and Javiel moved in unison..
The tube was pushed from a distance to avoid being burned by the hot water..
A pre-sized hydrothermal pipe perfectly covers the hydrothermal vent chimney..
Boom! Kwareuk!
Strongly acidic hydrogen sulfide, lead, and iron-enriched seawater at 400 degrees Celsius, which was spewing out from the hydrothermal vent chimney, rushed into the hydrothermal pipe..
At that moment, Lloyd activated his surveying skill..
[Start scanning.]
Tsutsutsutsutsu!
His eyes carefully scanned the installed hot water pipes..
Is there any place where hot water is leaking?.
Are there any toxic ingredients leaking out?.
His eagle eyes shined like when he was choosing Australian beef sirloin with his long-awaited salary..
And after a while I felt relieved.
‘good. There are no leaks whatsoever.’
From the hydrothermal vent where the hydrothermal pipe begins to the inside of the sauna..
Go further and reach the exit beyond the sauna cave..
There was no hot water leaking at all..
It was a perfect construction.
It was from then on..
Lloyd further accelerated construction..
More focused on burying hot water pipes.
Most of the hot water pipes were covered with pipe worm cement to prevent heat from leaking out of unnecessary places..
Instead, hot water pipes were clearly exposed in each room inside the sauna, where heat should flow out..
Then a definite change occurred..
‘Oh my, it’s getting hotter..’
The temperature inside the sauna rose significantly..
After that, the inside of the cave was cleaned up..
The door was made from large seashells and crab shells..
We also created a theme for each sauna area..
Traditional(?) red clay sauna.
A sea forest bathing sauna full of seaweed.
An emerald sauna filled with mysterious luminescent plankton glass beads..
A tropical beach sauna with the concept of immersing yourself in warm white sand..
In addition, there is a Himalayan iceberg sauna, a tongdori dehydrator sauna, and an extreme bungee jumping sauna..
Every effort was made to ensure that the mermaid guests visiting the sauna were not bored..
In addition, a lounge was prepared in the largest auditorium-sized space that would be the main space..
‘If you think of it as a Korean-style jjimjilbang, it's a place where you can roll around, read comic books, and eat eggs..’
Just like that, the 21-day construction was completed..
The sauna was completed literally at the speed of light..
‘Whoa. thank god. It was fortunate that there was an underwater cave near the hydrothermal vent..’
The structure of the cave was also amazing..
It honestly felt like a gift from nature to build a sauna..
Thanks to this, there was almost no need to do the foundation work, which would have taken the most time and effort..
We were able to focus only on hot water pipe installation, burial, and interior construction..
‘So now it's time to receive guests.’
I completed the sauna..
Now I had to bring in mermaids to be steamed(?).
Rotorua decided to take on that role..
“How is it? Those who decided to come said when they would come.?”
“Oh, that's it…….”
The evening the sauna was completed.
Rotorua looks embarrassed.
“Um, that's it. I received an appointment from some acquaintances a few days ago. He said he would definitely come back once the sauna was completed. Everyone clearly promised that…….”
“Did you do it? no way?”
“…….”
“So you're saying you'll come next time.?”
“I'm sorry. You have no shame.”
Rotorua slumped her shoulders..
Lloyd clicked his tongue at that sight..
‘Tsk tsk. Somehow, it felt strong..’
From the beginning, Rotorua was an outsider in mermaid society and had few friends..
So I didn't have high expectations.
I got an appointment from some acquaintances..
Even a few days ago, when I was smiling brightly and boasting, I thought, ‘Really?’.
But it seemed like my hunch at that time was right..
‘Saying you'll come next time is the same as saying you won't come. For Koreans, this would be equivalent to saying, “Let’s eat together sometime next time.”.’
But Lloyd was not disappointed..
Instead, he patted Rotorua on the shoulder..
“it's okay. Don't be too discouraged. Because I have thoughts too.”
“Hmm, maybe you had prepared for something like this in advance??”
“yes.”
It's obvious.
Lloyd continued..
“A place called a sauna would be very unfamiliar to the mermaids here. This may be a concept you are seeing for the first time. Moreover, isn't it a facility created by humans on land like me and Haviel, and not by mermaids? That's why.”
“I thought mermaids would not look at saunas very favorably.?”
“yes. I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to attract customers unless I found a way to raise their curiosity and expectations..”
“Hmm, if you do that, what kind of preparation did you prepare in advance??”
“This is it. wait a minute.”
Lloyd took out two large chunks of something from behind the sauna counter..
Rotorua realized the identity of the lump(?) and opened her eyes wide..
“that… … Deep sea crayfish and king crab shells No?”
“yes, that's right.”
Lloyd grinned..
“Habiel and I will use this to promote the sauna..”
Javiel's shoulders, who had been watching the conversation between the two, were slightly shaken..
His blue eyes looked at Lloyd as if he were looking at a crazy person..
Lloyd's smile became even more shameless..
“what. why. what.”
“…….”
“Don't curse with your eyes, speak with your mouth.”
“Can't you swear instead of speaking with your mouth?.”
“why? They told me to use this?”
Lloyd held up a king crab shell the size of a person..
Javiel's expression became crumpled..
“I'm not a clown.”
“huh. know. Newspaper.”
“yes. It's exactly as you said. I'm glad you know that. But why is Lloyd telling me, the driver, to use such an ugly thing?.”
“For the family you are loyal to?”
“…….”
“If you use this, everything will be solved. The Frontera family will prosper even more. You might be able to avoid danger. If you think about it, this isn't something I'm asking for. I hate this too.”
“…….”
“But what if you refuse this? Ah, that was it. No one knew that that moment would be the starting point of the downfall of the Frontera family. But the wheel of tragedy had already begun to turn... … Wouldn't the history teacher's voice, saying, echo in a classroom about 200 years from now?.”
“What nonsense are you saying?…….”
“Because Lord Asrahan did not cooperate. Because we failed to attract mermaids as guests. The sauna is ruined. I can't find the jewel. The family falls. Society is collapsing. Young Ji-min falls into a ricochet..”
“…….”
“A boy from Yeongjimin who fell into a ricochet starved all day. The dog also starved. The two spent the cold night hugging each other tightly, relying on each other's body heat. But no one offered a helping hand to the boy and the dog. Just like that, the boy and the dog took their last breaths slowly and surely. At that last moment, a dew-like teardrop formed at the corner of the boy's eye. The boy let out a sad muttering to himself with his last breath. Ah, if Lord Asrahan had just used the king crab shell back then,…….”
“…….”
“After hearing the last words, the puppy grunted and licked the boy's cheek. But the boy didn't move a thing. The dog realized. She knew that the time had come for her to follow the boy's side. So she is a puppy…….”
“I will write it.”
“Yeah, good idea. It's a puppy.”
“…….”
“Ah, I was mistaken because you intervened. Hmm, well thought out, Javiel..”
“…….”
Javiel kept his mouth shut..
Lloyd passes the crab shell into my arms as if he had been waiting for it..
That shameless face could never have seemed so disgusting..
But on the other hand, I had to admit it.
‘after. I don't know what you're thinking.’
Anyway, that fake Lloyd is really doing this to save his family..
Putting aside the absurdity and weirdness of the method, it is also true that we must actively help that fake work..
Otherwise, my master will die in three years..
“…….”
So let's write.
Just close your eyes and try it.
Javiel put down his pride.
Covered with pink king crab shell.
I put my hand in the claws..
In that way, he transformed(?) into a figure with only his legs sticking out from under his shell..
Meanwhile, Lloyd also covered himself with a crayfish shell..
He even hung a sign prepared in advance around his neck..
The sign had the phrase written in large letters:.
“Come on, let's go.”
“…….”
“What are you doing? Don't follow me quickly.”
“…….”
The back of Lloyd, who waddles away wearing a crayfish shell and looks back..
Javiel, who was watching this, had to barely suppress the urge to write a letter of resignation on the spot..
‘Phew.’
Let's be patient. Hold on.
This is all for the master and the family..
With that thought, he waddled along with Lloyd..
I entered the city of mermaids.
I took a seat in the busiest Alzip area..
From then on, I had to listen to Lloyd shouting hard to attract customers..
“everyone! This doesn't come every day! Celebrating the opening of the Mermaid Kingdom’s first sauna! It's a completely free event! Do you want to safely relieve muscle fatigue without smelling sulfur? Are your joints feeling sore these days? Let’s try it first, brothers and sisters.!”
“…….”
How can you say those words without any shame?.
Javiel once again admired Lloyd in many(?) senses..
Meanwhile, I thought.
‘No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to have much effect..’
It's not that it wasn't, it really seemed that way..
This outfit is so unique and stands out..
Lloyd's loud shout.
Thanks to this, quite a few mermaids stopped swimming..
The mermaids were showing curiosity and flocking around..
But that was it.
‘Everyone is laughing.’
Just because it's amazing.
Because it’s funny.
Like seeing a clown.
There was only a brief moment of attention being paid to this direction..
They were just flirting as a spectacle..
Among the mermaids gathered like that, none seemed really interested in saunas..
‘What on earth were you thinking when you did this?…….’
This kind of thing is not effective even if you just look at it..
It's just a miserable and ugly struggle..
Inside the king crab shell, Javiel had a bitter taste..
Then wouldn’t it be better to stop that fake Lloyd now?.
Wouldn't it be better to avoid at least outright ridicule?.
The moment you have that thought.
Lloyd came to my side..
“Plus, big brother, sister, mermaids! If you come to our sauna!”
He shouted loudly and stretched out his hands..
I touched this shoulder, no, the king crab shell..
suddenly.
sudden.
pressed.
“You can still enjoy this face while taking a steam bath.!”
Snap!
All too suddenly, Lloyd's hand pressed down on the king crab shell with all his might..
As if a squeezed pimple core breaks through the skin..
In an instant, Javiel's head popped up, breaking the king crab shell..
Suddenly, Javiel's face appeared..
“……!”
The effect was amazing.
