307fury. Change the construction site (2)
“If I could make the Arctic air cold again... … . At that time, would you please cooperate in changing the construction site of Book??”
“what?”
Lloyd's subtle question.
At that question, the mermaid queen twitched her pectoralis major muscle..
She tilted her head and asked back..
“It makes the Arctic air cold? That one?”
“yes.”
“how?”
“There is a method prepared for you. If the Queen gives permission, this is a method that can be implemented today and see results..”
“Even today? right now? Is that true??”
“of course.”
“…….”
Lloyd answered confidently..
The Mermaid Queen stared at him..
“That person is such an amazing person..”
“Is that so.”
“of course. I've been thinking about this for a while, but it seems like there's something different about you than ordinary people..”
“Ahaha, words of praise…….”
“Should I say that I often feel like hitting someone for no reason?.”
“……yes?”
“He's really smart and smart, but that's because it's secretly sentimental and obnoxious..”
“Uh, um, do you like it or don’t like it?…….”
“It's both.”
Suddenly, a bitter smile appeared on the Mermaid Queen's lips..
It was a smile that seemed to have already understood their intentions to some extent..
“Now that I think about it, they must be quite used to our kingdom. I've been here for quite some time. I came and went often. In doing so, we would have been able to understand what difficulties our kingdom is facing..”
“Yeah, I won't deny it.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to come up with conditions that I couldn't refuse. Am I right?”
“I'm sorry.”
“No, it's okay. It would be quicker to check it out now. Did you say that we can cool the air in the North Pole right away? Even today?”
“yes.”
“good. to prove.”
“All right.”
A faint smile of satisfaction appeared at the corner of Lloyd's mouth..
done.
The intention worked.
‘The Mermaid Queen has a personality as exciting as her muscles. Good thing she didn't go around in circles and hit the straight ball..’
I deliberately suggested it out loud..
Be honest without going around in circles.
I expressed my thoughts as is..
The problem that the Mermaid Queen most desperately wants to solve.
presented a solution to the problem.
My back is itching like crazy right now..
It was a strategy that seemed to aim at that exact spot with a pinpoint and scrape off the clothes..
‘Fortunately, that customized strategy worked..’
Lloyd was inwardly relieved..
“Then come to the surface with me..”
I left the kingdom with the queen..
I left the deep sea and went up to the surface..
Hellgate was seen blazing open above the lapping Arctic Ocean..
Lloyd said.
“Then let's do it right away. Oh, before that, the Queen, please step back a little further..”
“far? why?”
“You could easily get swept away by the cold..”
“Hmm, sure.”
The queen swam away.
After confirming that the distance between her and her was sufficient, Lloyd took a deep breath..
‘Phew. carefully. slowly.’
Kiiiiing……!
The three-pronged mana circle rotated..
Absorbed the surrounding mana.
amplified with a circle.
In the process, Manahat was awakened..
To be precise, right after using the last time freeze, I touched the coldness of the winter heart that was attached to Manahart..
A mass of cold air created as a side effect of using time freeze..
It reacted right away..
Tsussss!
‘……Gwap!’
As if I had touched a lurking beehive..
Or, as if waking up a hedgehog that was taking a nap..
The cold gave rise to a thorn-like energy..
Cold mana was sprayed randomly around Mana Heart..
It was as expected.
‘Bingryong said that. This coldness, the heart of winter, will continue to grow as I use it. It will settle down in Mana Heart like a parasite and spread throughout the body. like cancer cells.’
Suddenly, Bingryong Tyranus’ warning came to mind..
Did they say that if you want to live long, you shouldn't use the heart of winter carelessly?.
At the same time, I remembered how to use the circle that I had practiced a little bit without Javiel's knowledge while coming here..
‘are you okay. We've already done safety testing. This is because it uses the coldness created as a side effect. Because I'm not using the heart of winter!’
focused.
The rampaging cold was cut away with a mana circle..
The shaved cold was absorbed into the mana circle..
The rotation of the mana circle was reversed..
From absorption to discharge.
The flow of mana has changed.
I stretched my hands up.
In that state, the three-pronged circle collided..
The collision of the circles created a fierce shock wave..
I spit it out with both hands..
It was a triple blast that amplified the cold energy absorbed by the circle and emitted it..
Tsu Chemical-!
Will it feel like this if I suddenly become a human smart converter air conditioner?.
An overwhelming amount of cold air shot vertically into the sky..
Like a giant spear made of frost.
With the momentum to slam dunk into the sun.
It rose without hesitation.
spread like a fountain.
Pahat-!
Trillions of ice particles spread like pollen.
Each particle rapidly froze the air molecules it came into contact with..
A calm cold storm enveloped the skies over the Arctic Ocean..
The temperature around the North Pole dropped to dozens of degrees below zero..
The cold air thus formed spread throughout the Arctic Ocean..
The same was true for the rippling waters of the Arctic Ocean..
Damn it... … ! Hehehe!
In an instant, the sea in the area froze to a thick consistency like a yogurt smoothie..
It thickened, hardened, and came together..
Finally, icebergs formed everywhere..
It was successful terraforming, no, polar forming..
“……Huh, huh.”
Lloyd gasped after finishing the cold eruption..
I brought my trembling hands to my thighs..
I pinched it hard..
“Kwaap!”
I finally came to my senses when I pinched my inner thigh until it bled..
He hurriedly shook his head and checked his insides..
‘I almost passed out. If anything, let's never use this again..’
I was dizzy.
The cold that appeared in Mana Heart as a side effect of using Winter Heart..
I thought I could amplify it with the Mana Circle and let it out..
So, I had experimented in advance..
While riding Yongyong all the way here,.
I turned the mana circle without Javiel knowing..
Touching the cold, poking me.
They said they tested the likelihood of success and risk..
But my impressions after actually using it are:?
As expected, it was on a different level from the test..
‘I thought I was going to die.’
Lloyd stuck his tongue out..
It's not that it's not, it's the moment when the cold erupts.
I felt like all my internal organs were taken out and put on display..
In addition, he even felt like his soul was being ejected(?) into the set menu..
However, it was not entirely without the reward of succeeding in blowing out cold air..
‘Thanks to this, the coldness clinging to Mana Heart has decreased considerably..’
Is it because some of it was erupted by cutting it with a mana circle?.
The coldness generated as a side effect was reduced by a whopping 1/3..
‘Is this an unexpected effect?.’
It seemed like that..
It was a coldness created as a side effect of the winter heart..
It stuck to the mana heart like a cancer cell and did not fall off..
However, by taking a small risk like this, I erupt into a mana circle.?
It was noticeably reduced.
‘If used well, it can be useful. In particular, it may be possible to significantly slow down or prevent the side effects that Bingryong warned about..’
Of course, it will be quite hard on your body..
Moreover, it can only be ejected when cold has accumulated..
It couldn't be overused at any time..
‘If you think about it, this might feel similar to collecting special bombs when playing an airplane game..’
A bitter smile formed at a thought that suddenly occurred to me..
When I thought about it, it really was like that..
If you use Freeze Time with the Heart of Winter,.
As a side effect, cold air is created in Mana Heart..
If necessary, the cold could be ejected into the mana circle..
‘I literally have a special move that I can use in a critical moment..’
It's not a bad income.
With that self-compassion, Lloyd gave up his thoughts..
Before I knew it, I looked back at the mermaid queen who had come next to me..
“How is it?”
“…….”
“Is there any air conditioning… … No, you still feel like you don't have enough cold.…….”
“no, not that.”
the queen asked with a slightly dazed look on her face..
“What on earth is that??”
“This is Lloyd Frontera. If you look at Yomojomo, your friend, the builder of the jjimjilbang, you will see a rather warm face, and even a quick glance will make you feel attractive.…….”
“Put all that bullshit aside, was he a wizard??”
“Well, you can think of it as roughly similar..”
Lloyd smiled bitterly..
Something like a wizard.
Other than that, there was no other way to explain the cold blast he had just shown..
“This is thanks to the fact that I recently accidentally absorbed something quite useful. Although it puts a bit of a strain on my body, I am now able to perform these tricks. Anyway, how do you feel? It looks like it's gotten quite cold to me..”
“Not quite. great.”
“Is that so?”
“of course.”
The Mermaid Queen nodded..
She looked around with satisfied eyes..
“It's been a while since I felt this cool breeze on the water here. It's cool and refreshing. On the one hand, I feel relieved, and on the other hand, I'm still worried..”
“If you're worried?”
“This cold wind will only last a few months?”
“yes it will.”
This time Lloyd nodded..
He admitted it obediently and looked up at the Hell Gate in the sky..
“'Cause it didn't go away.”
“I guess so. Even though it's cold here now, hot wind will continue to flow from that Hell Gate..”
“The Queen is right. What I did today is actually only a temporary solution for a few months..”
“The fundamental solution is?”
“We need to close that Hell Gate. I will do that for you.”
“Is there a way??”
“Once the jewel is completed, we will be able to find out how. All you have to do is ask Bo-ok..”
“That's great.”
Finally, the wrinkles disappeared from the Mermaid Queen's eyebrows..
But her cautious gaze towards us still remained..
“So, are you saying that you will take responsibility for both the temporary measures just now and the subsequent closure of Hell Gate? Instead of changing the construction site of the jewel to your territory,?”
“yes. If the Queen cooperates.”
“Hmm.”
The queen was deep in thought..
Her worries didn't last long.
“good night. Let's trust the credibility they've shown so far..”
“thank you Okay, then this…….”
As soon as the queen nodded.
Lloyd took out two sheets of greased parchment from his pocket..
“It's a contract. Let’s check it carefully..”
“…….”
“Instead of building the Jewel of Truth in Frontera territory, I, Lloyd Frontera, will resolve the warming phenomenon in the Mermaid Kingdom and the Arctic Ocean and close Hell Gate. Also, when the Jewel of Truth is completed in the future, the Mermaid Kingdom and the Queen will equally enjoy the right to use the jewel under my joint name... … Is this a contract that says.”
“Hmm. It's a contract.”
“Because it's good to be certain about anything. Isn’t this how the promise will remain as evidence??”
“Well, he is like that too.”
The queen's eyes carefully scanned the contract..
Indeed, the content was not different from what Lloyd said..
The queen's thoughts deepened..
‘This is a deal where we give up the construction site for Jewel in exchange for closing Hell Gate. When I think about it, it’s not that bad. No, this is clearly a deal that will benefit our kingdom..’
When I thought about it, it was like that..
Although the Jewel of Truth is the treasure of the Mermaid Kingdom,.
That was just a story from a distant mythical era..
In fact, mermaids after the mythical era lived without knowing about jewels..
I have lived without any discomfort for a long time without any inconvenience..
No, I didn't even think I needed a gem..
It was a gem that was so completely forgotten..
‘But this man unearthed it.’
If it weren't for Lloyd Frontera.
Could Book see the light of day again?.
Not so, the Queen thought..
‘Moreover, if we build a jewel in our kingdom, the risks will increase as much as the benefits..’
The Queen looked back on the lessons of the mythical era.
All races at the time coveted the Jewel of Truth..
To give the wisest answer to any question.
Treated as the most powerful weapon in the world.
So everyone tried to hog the gem..
A war was waged to monopolize the jewels..
The bloody battle of all races that ended the mythical era.
It was a great war.
‘In the end, the jewel was destroyed. They say that our ancestors also lost their homes and suffered a great blow. But what if Jewelry is built in the kingdom now, today? There's no guarantee that what happened back then won't happen again..’
Maybe not right now.
If the existence of the gem is known.
In the future, everyone will covet the gem..
The peaceful mermaid kingdom may become embroiled in war..
‘However, if the jewel construction site is given over to Lloyd Frontera's territory,?’
I felt like I could pass on that risk..
But Bo-ok’s name is shared..
The right to use jewelry would be fully enjoyed..
In other words, the risk could be passed on to Frontera territory and the rights could be fully enjoyed..
The Mermaid Queen, who had been counting up to that point, stopped without realizing it and smiled bitterly..
‘This was a proposal that took into account the fact that I would be doing these calculations..’
I forgot it.
I laughed out loud at this new realization..
But strangely I didn't feel bad..
This was because I could feel Lloyd’s consideration in this proposal..
‘In fact, things like construction sites could have just been decided without informing us. No, normal selfish people would have done that..’
But the Lloyd Frontera in front of me didn't do that..
It must have been a hassle.
I must have been greedy.
Nevertheless, we formally requested negotiations with this side..
He even put forward a pretty good proposal that would satisfy both sides..
Then there is no need to skip this.
No, rather, it is a contract that should be welcomed with open arms..
“Good. Do you like it. Contract, let's make it.”
The Mermaid Queen smiled brightly and flexed her pectorals..
A deal-making smile appeared on Lloyd's face..
The most powerful treasure of the mythical era.
It was the moment when the construction site for the Jewel of Truth was officially decided to be Frontera territory..
