History of the Greatest Estate Design - Episode 325
325fury. The sitting angel in the guest room (2)
“Uh, well, if you let me stay here, in return I... … How about telling me some news from heaven??”
“Oh, news from heaven!?”
“Ah yes. Because you said you needed help. Because he said he would let me stay here..”
“First of all, it's a good start. Please tell me in more detail. Hmmm!”
Lloyd pretended to clear his throat..
I did my best to control the corners of my mouth that were trying to get in my ear..
However, it did not stop the tongue from performing the hula dance of joy in the closed mouth..
‘good. Just right.’
The left angel in front of me.
I did it just in case, but it happened as expected..
As you might think, he is an innocent guy who has not been out of time in the human world..
Maybe that's why I intentionally act petty and put pressure on them, so they quickly end up giving me what I want..
Just like now, showing a rudimentary appearance at the negotiation table..
“Could you please be more specific? Well, what can I say. Although I have lost my angelic link and cannot return to heaven, communication with heaven is still possible to some extent. Especially since I'm an angel in a pretty important position..”
“Thanks to you, I can listen to instructions from superiors??”
“yes. It's similar.”
“Then, you can inform me of any additional reactions or decisions from heaven related to the construction of the Jewel of Truth at any time.?”
“I guess so..”
Raphael nodded..
Lloyd tilted his head..
“But is it okay to do that??”
“yes?”
“Teacher Angel, no, Raphael?”
“yes.”
“After all, isn’t Raphael an angel in heaven? That's a pretty high rank too. But is it okay if you tell me information about the heavens??”
“yes. Anyway, I lost my angel link and was put on a sort of suspension from my duties..”
“Hmm.”
“I'm just informing you of what the higher-ups decide; it's up to you to decide how to use that information. So even in heaven, they won't really stop me..”
“Well then, that's a good thing. Can I trust Raphael??”
“what… … What do you mean?.”
“Couldn't it be possible to give me false guidance from heaven??”
“Lie?”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodded..
“By any chance, they could pretend to cooperate and demolish the jewel by surprise without anyone knowing. Isn't it??”
“That's not it. I don't think so..”
“Why??”
“Because of your advice. The decision to demolish the jewel this time... … Was it really right to make a unilateral decision without consulting with you? … I have a feeling of skepticism..”
Raphael smiled good-naturedly..
It was honestly sincere..
For the first time, I felt ashamed that I had failed in my official duties..
On the other hand, I also felt an unexpected sense of relief..
No matter how successfully we execute an illegal official task, what can we do?.
I also had doubts about the professional calling I had taken for granted..
He pointed to his flame ring..
“Besides, I can't lie anyway. The moment you tell a lie, you lose your purity. You've probably seen it before. As soon as I uttered an insult, the flames disappeared from this ring of fire..”
“Hmm.”
“If you have any doubts, you can try it out now..”
“may I?”
“of course.”
Raphael confidently recommended.
Lloyd pretended to think for a moment and then suddenly held out his hand..
“Now, this is my hand. Is that correct?”
“you're right.”
Raphael's answer.
Indeed, the ring of flame did not go out..
Lloyd's test questions followed..
“Then the second test. This is Javiel from our territory who competed with Raphael. That guy has great looks. Is that correct?”
“very correct.”
Raphael answered as if it were obvious..
The ring of flame is still not extinguished.
Lloyd's third question followed..
“From an objective perspective, I, too, have a pretty decent appearance. Is that correct?”
“you're right.”
hook.
The ring's flame went out..
“…….”
Raphael was silent out of embarrassment..
Tears formed in Lloyd's eyes..
Even for a moment such silence.
A shout of anger(?) came out of Lloyd’s mouth..
“Isn't that damn ring broken?!”
“…….”
“That's right. It's broken. There is absolutely no reliability whatsoever. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“…….”
“In fact, it's purity and all, but isn't it just something that lights up and goes out depending on your mood? Right? It's like that. Oh, I'm surprised again..”
“Hey, this.”
“Why are you giving me a handkerchief?.”
“I don't know what it means, but please wipe your tears first.…….”
Hwareuk!
The flames of the flame ring came to life..
“…….”
The stream of tears flowing down Lloyd's cheeks became thicker..
But he had no choice but to admit.
That fire ring seems to be working fine..
Therefore, you can fully believe in the truth of the heavenly news delivered by the left angel..
‘good. First off, I got exactly the card I wanted..’
Although I received an unexpected fact attack(?).
Nevertheless, Lloyd was quite satisfied..
An angel who plans to sit here in this territory for 10 years..
It was thanks to me getting the card I was secretly hoping I could get from him..
‘There was something like that in the novel The Knight of Iron Blood. It is said that heavenly angels can maintain contact with heaven under any circumstances. I can hear instructions from superiors. But what if this guy sits down in the estate? I thought the simplest and most direct help you could give me was to keep in touch..’
In this way, you can obtain information from the heavens in real time through the left angel..
Knowing in advance the decisions of the higher heavens.
Thanks to this, we can prepare for heaven’s response..
It was probably the most necessary and desperate information in the current situation..
‘Because the completion of the prison is just around the corner..’
Even so, it was just in the midst of finishing construction..
If you stick to construction just a little longer.
It really could be completed.
then?
‘I'm going to use the gem right away..’
How to prevent the restoration of destiny phenomenon.
You just have to figure it out..
After that?
‘In the worst case, stronger measures may come down from heaven. But it doesn't matter. If you feel like you can't handle Heaven's decision, then just remove the gem. Anyway, the way to prevent the restoration of fate will be figured out..’
Lloyd decided that.
So, let's complete the palace.
All you have to do is find out how to prevent the restoration of fate phenomenon..
The most important thing is to hold on until then..
Therefore, we need to obtain information from the celestial world in real time..
When will they raise the mace of demolition?.
You have to know the timing so you can take the time and measure the angle whether you block or resist..
The probability of surviving until the gem is completed increases..
After completing his calculations, Lloyd finally put a satisfied smile on his lips..
“Phew, good. If I do this, I can believe it..”
“Is that so? So can I stay here now??”
“yes. On the condition that news from heaven be provided in real time at any time..”
“All right. Then please take care of me.”
“Hehehe, it’s me. So come on, let’s write a contract now..”
“……yes?”
Lloyd took out two blank sheets of paper..
Raphael tilted his head..
“What is that??”
“Well, whatever. It's a contract. rent contract.”
“…….”
“Of course, any promise or transaction must be written down in a contract. That's common sense. This may not be the case in heaven, but this is the underworld where only the strong survive..”
“…….”
“Now, let’s start by summarizing what was verbally discussed earlier.…….”
Lloyd writes down a contract very skillfully..
Raphael, a fallen angel, is embarrassed and troubled by Lloyd's attitude..
Just like that, a deal to live in a rented room between two conflicting beings was concluded..
♣
Two more days passed again.
Meanwhile, the dam and dam construction sites have been cleaned up..
It was a scene that was in shambles due to the descent of the Left Angel and the fierce battle that followed..
It took a lot of work to organize it..
But the cleanup was quick..
“of course. There is no time to rest. Come on, let's get to work! Goal Soldiers, providing relief again today!”
[Night Shift!]
[vigil!]
[Death from overwork!]
Lloyd rolled the goal troops day and night..
Fortunately(?) they were fine even if they didn't eat or sleep..
It was truly a flawless, hard-working unit that considered working overtime and staying up all night as the greatest virtue..
‘Well, of course they also like to rest and play. But right now, the situation is the way it is..’
The situation was such that it was necessary to hasten the completion of the prison..
If the schedule is stretched.
Then, if additional measures are taken from heaven,.
It was a situation where the jewel could be demolished right before completion..
‘So you must hurry. From now on, it’s really a battle of speed..’
Lloyd had a bitter heart..
Construction resumed as soon as the site was cleared..
The remaining part of the dam was built up..
Of course, the design was followed exactly..
We secured a strong backbone(?) that can resist external forces with the weight of the dam itself..
Thanks to this, the dam is fully equipped with the requirements to handle all the hydrostatic pressure, dynamic pressure, positive pressure, wave pressure, sediment pressure, etc. that will be applied to the dam..
That wasn't all.
‘Here, we can't just trap the water like an ordinary dam..’
Here in the reservoir of the dam, the jewel of truth will operate..
As a result, huge waves will be created..
‘I can't withstand those waves.’
No matter how strong the dam is.
Lloyd had calculated that it would be difficult to withstand the surge that would be created by activating the gem..
So, a path was secured for the huge waves to escape naturally..
upper central part of the dam.
It was intentionally lowered and made to protrude sharply..
The approximate shape was similar to an open spout of a paper milk carton..
‘We created a spout through which the waves would naturally escape while minimizing the pressure on the dam..’
Just tilt the paper milk carton.
Milk flows out from the pointed spout..
The waves created by the operation of the gem will also flow downstream like that..
‘Because we have already done countless simulations. Because it was verified like that.’
100Lloyd was percent confident it would work as intended..
At the same time, he also accelerated the construction of the Jewel of Truth..
A huge pyramid resembling a general's gun.
The exterior decoration was implemented identically to the design drawing..
In the process, the dwarven craftsman Corgidus was a great help..
“This is my friend! What if they dig that place like that? huh!”
Solitas, a red dragon who became the master's apprentice, worked hard all day long to carve relief decorations on the outer walls of the jewel..
As expected, the entire process proceeded smoothly and quickly..
Lloyd's job satisfaction as he supervises construction progress has also increased day by day..
Meanwhile, Javiel's suspicions about Lloyd deepened day by day..
“That's why I'm telling you, I think Lloyd is very suspicious..”
“what?”
Is this some kind of nonsense again?.
After finishing the day's work.
As I was coming out after finishing the on-site inspection, Javiel suddenly said something meaningful in his characteristic cool tone..
Lloyd frowned slightly..
“What is suspicious?.”
I'm sure that guy didn't know who we are..
Is it because I felt like I was being stabbed for no reason?.
The voice that spoke back to him made me tingle without realizing it..
However, Javiel still asked in a calm tone..
“Lloyd's skills.”
“my skills?”
“yes.”
“what skills?”
“Apparently, you had barely reached the advanced level of Sword Expert until a few months ago..”
“Oh, that.”
Phew, that's a relief.
Lloyd was inwardly relieved and joked..
“also. You recognized me even if I didn’t tell you.?”
“It's natural. Because I saw the aura forming on the head of a spade..”
“Did you see it? Hitting the angel's head with that?”
“yes. That wasn't the only thing I saw, though..”
“What else did you see??”
“I witnessed an unnatural and strange sight where an angel seemed to somehow move as Lloyd intended..”
“Yeah, that's a mistake.”
“I didn’t think it was a mistake.”
“It's an illusion. What kind of superpower am I? Are you a wizard? Besides, just because I have a little bit of talent, wouldn't I be able to control an angel as I want??”
“but…….”
“No matter how much I think about it, I don't think that's right?”
“yes. Looking back, I guess I lost my mind for a moment and overestimated Lloyd..”
“…….”
“but. Lloyd, you don't have that kind of ability. The level of a sword master is, well, it's an extreme situation where you're fighting against an angel, so it's possible that you accidentally surpassed your limit..”
“…….”
“Plus, the ability to control angels at will. I guess I lost my mind for a moment. At best, someone like Lloyd. It would be an extremely realistic and universal common sense that such a great thing would never happen..”
“…….”
“Hey, by the way.”
“huh.”
“Why are your eyes watering so much?.”
“no. It's shiny.”
“For some reason, the bridge of your nose turned red..”
“I have a bad rhinitis.”
“The corners of your mouth are trembling.”
“I guess I'm neurotic.”
“Why?.”
“It's because of you. Why is it so shit. They beat people like this all the time. Completely without blood or tears.”
“As I've said repeatedly, I have never assaulted Lloyd..”
“Tsk tsk. Even shameless.”
“Isn’t that Lloyd’s specialty?.”
“Oh, that's the correct answer.”
Lloyd burst out laughing..
It was fortunate.
The fact that this person rose to the level of sword master so quickly.
The attack design options used against the Left Angel are also.
There didn't seem to be much suspicion..
‘Well, I guess I'm finding it a little strange. That can't be helped. Since the offensive design option is so inconspicuous, all you have to do is just ignore it and you're done. However, going from an advanced sword expert to a sword master in just a few months... … Tsk. It was a situation where there was no other solution, so even though this seems strange, I can't help it..’
Let’s just lay down an iron plate..
Thinking like that, Lloyd tasted Haviel..
I loaded my tongue with words of calm and shameless counterattack..
But that was then..
“……you! Lloyd Frontera.!”
In the distance, in the direction of the Frontera family mansion,.
Someone flew in with a pair of shining wings spread.
It seems like he wants to pay for food in a rented room..
Or as if there was big news.
“What you've been waiting for! For the jewel of truth! Additional measures have come from heaven.!”
Left Angel Raphael shouted loudly as if announcing urgent news..
