History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 33

“What does it mean to make a hole several meters deep in a rock with a single sword?.”
Javiel frowned..
His eyes are looking this way.
There was a look of disbelief, wondering what nonsense he was talking about..
“I don't understand a little. Can I be honest with you??”
“to be honest?”
“yes.”
“What about that? Are you trying to beat me up with facts without filtering again??”
“I repeat, I have never assaulted Lloyd..”
“there is?”
“When do you mean?”
“In the anthill. You once hit my solar plexus with your fist.?”
“Of course…….”
“Oh, after that, I slapped him three times to make him come to his senses. right?”
“There were two. The third one stopped just before hitting him. Lloyd came to his senses.”
“Ah, that was why it was disappointing.?”
“Of course... … no, no.”
“…….”
“Anyway, back to the point, to be honest with you, I've never heard of someone doing something like that with a sword..”
“doesn't exist?”
“yes. Even if it's a sword master.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
it was true.
How can you make a hole several meters deep in a rock with just a sword?.
Even blowing up a rock through that hole?.
I had never heard of such a thing..
This was true even when looking at the anecdotes of numerous sword masters left in history..
‘Even though he developed later than others, it was impossible even for the founding king, Sir Michael, who was called the strongest of all time in his later years. Sir Michael's sword aura, as recorded, is about 1 meter. Even with the length of the sword plus the aura, he could only cut or destroy at a range of a little over two meters..’
sword auror.
A technique of applying highly concentrated mana to the sword..
It was a technique that could be considered a symbol of the Sword Master..
But even that destructive technology had its limits..
It was impossible to attack an enemy at a distance beyond the range of the auror..
‘After all, a sword is a close range weapon..’
No matter how powerful the attack, you must approach and cut and stab it directly..
You cannot attack enemies from a distance like a wizard can by firing spells..
That was the Sword Master's characteristic and weakness..
“But Mr. Lloyd is ignoring that common sense. You're promising to teach me imaginary skills that don't even exist. It's like…….”
“I think I'm talking crazy?”
“yes.”
Javiel quickly nodded..
“Obviously so. Is this an absurd statement that only a crazy, deranged, or insane person would make?.”
“Hey, it's too obvious to put a deal on someone while they've caught a case.?”
“What is a deal??”
“Phew, that's it. Anyway-”
Lloyd chuckled..
“What would you do if I taught you those skills?.”
“Do you really think it's possible??”
“Is that so? Try answering first.”
“If Lloyd’s rant is true,-”
Javiel said with serious eyes..
“At that time, I will gladly follow Lloyd’s wishes..”
“really? You will do whatever I tell you to do.?”
“of course.”
Javiel nodded..
If what Lloyd said was true, there was nothing to lose..
At the same time he thought.
That offer must be a bluff.
There is no way such an absurd thing is possible..
“good. It was agreed upon. Then from now on-”
Lloyd held out his hand..
I tapped Javiel’s shoulder..
And he said it as if it was no big deal.
“I would like to draw my sword, increase the rotation of the mana circle to the maximum, and then force the two circles to overlap and collide.?”
“……yes?”
“Oh, and don't involve the rest of the Circle in the conflict in the process. You have to protect your heart. Otherwise, my heart will triple axel due to shock and then paralyze. Crossing the Jordan River in one go.”
“what to say now…….”
“Just give it a try.”
“Here, now??”
“uh.”
Lloyd nodded..
Javiel felt perplexed..
‘Is that possible?.’
I felt like my common sense was being destroyed..
It was a vague mental technique that felt like a part of the body..
Nevertheless, this attempt was unfamiliar to him..
It was an attempt in a way I had never thought of before..
No, I never even thought it was possible..
It was obvious.
Each mana circle rotates faster as its output increases..
The faster the rotation, the more a kind of repulsion occurs..
Like magnets of the same pole, they repel each other..
But to force it to collide?.
“are you okay. If you protect your heart with the rest of the circle, you won't die..”
“…….”
Lloyd's words were so calm..
So my confidence dropped even more..
Of course, Javiel didn't even know in his dreams..
Another self in a different space and time than here.
In the novel Iron Blooded Knight, it is revealed that he created this technique..
This technique is one of the techniques that made him the strongest knight in the history of the Laurasian continent in the novel..
‘Of course, that was going to happen a long time from now..’
Lloyd suddenly remembered the contents of the novel..
Blasting (confined blasting)).
At the time of developing this technique, Haviel had just reached the level of a sword master..
In addition, a fourth circle was installed..
Combination of Sword Master and Quadra Circle.
That alone was enough to put him in the ranks of the strongest knights of all time..
But even after obtaining such strength, he faces the limits of his power..
Namaran's Wall.
It was a castle wall with an evil and powerful defensive spell..
Behind those walls there were thousands of refugees he had to save..
Even with an aura-covered sword or the quadra circle's mana amplification, the barrier could not be broken..
In that state, time passed in vain..
The date announced by the evil wizard has arrived..
If this continued, thousands of refugees would become sacrifices in the wizard's ritual..
And finally the bright fateful day.
Javiel, struggling to break through the barrier, attempts a final attack..
After a desperate attempt, the two circles unknowingly collide..
It was the first time he used blasting, a technique he had never imagined..
It was also the moment when Namaran’s barrier was instantly torn down by its unimaginable power..
‘After that, blasting became Javiel's favorite main weapon..’
It has literally established itself as a technique that represents the Iron-Blooded Knight along with its shabby mind techniques..
But I can't believe I'm teaching that to this guy now..
At the same time, it felt strange..
‘I will definitely have to learn it when I become a triple circle later..’
Even if I wanted to learn it now, it was impossible..
two circles to collide.
Besides that, a circle to protect the heart was absolutely necessary..
In other words, blasting was a skill that could only be learned by reaching at least the triple circle level..
‘Of course, it's not easy to do the triple circle..’
It would be the same even for Javiel..
Lloyd chuckled as he thought that..
“Hmm, I'm still hesitating. Do you really not believe me??”
“…….”
“Are you scared??”
“Of course not. but-”
“but?”
“I need you to make me a promise..”
“Um, what a promise.?”
“This is the new technology that Lloyd taught me..”
“huh.”
“If it's a lie or a dirty prank to fool me…….”
“If it's a joke?”
“Please extend the lullaby service for free and indefinitely in the future..”
“Hurrell.”
It was a bolder proposal than I thought..
At the same time, it was a suggestion that clearly showed what the guy thought about the lullaby service..
“Now that I see you-”
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Lloyd's eyes..
“You have become unable to live without lullaby services.?”
flinch.
Javiel's shoulder twitched very faintly..
Lloyd continued..
“What should I do? It's obvious?”
“That's too much speculation..”
“Uh huh. Look me straight in the eyes and say?”
“I have never avoided Lloyd's gaze..”
“Are my eyes in my nostrils??”
“…….”
“That's it. I'll promise.”
“Are you sure??”
“uh. If what I said was a lie or I was just trying to trick you, then the lullaby service will have unlimited refills from now on. Even for free.”
“You promised..”
“Okay, so just give it a try. I didn't forget the method I told you earlier.?”
“yes.”
Grumble.
Javiel drew a long sword..
Lloyd took a few steps back..
‘I'm a little worried because it's my first attempt... … If you're Javiel, you won't go wrong while practicing this..’
Habiel was several steps ahead of us when it came to the shabby way of thinking..
Has a triple circle.
The control of each mana circle was also excellent..
He had reached the level of skill and sophistication like a craftsman..
Even though it was my first time trying a concept, I had faith that it wouldn't hurt my heart..
‘Of course, you will have a hard time for at least a few days..’
It was a technique that collided the mana circles rotating at high speed inside the body, especially near the heart..
Naturally, there will be tremendous shock and strain on the body..
Even if you are a genius at swordsmanship, it will take that much time to get used to it..
‘So a week at the earliest? It might take more than 15 days. Then, consider that the quarrying work will start from then and set a construction schedule.…….’
Tookkkk!
“succeeded.”
“…….”
Something unbelievable happened.
Lloyd opened his mouth blankly without realizing it..
I looked at Javiel a few steps ahead..
And I cast my gaze a little further away..
There was a mark on the ground that wasn't there before..
“It's not as difficult as I feared..”
“…….”
A long furrow as long as 10 meters was dug..
It wasn't just a sign that it had been sold from the outside..
a long hole inside the ground.
It was a sign that an explosion had occurred from within and the ground had been turned over in a straight line..
“Hey, Habiel?”
“Yes, Lloyd..”
“Are you a monster??”
“no. Of course I am human..”
“…….”
Monster, I guess that's right..
Or maybe it's my mother's friend's son, an imaginary creature that I thought only existed in legend..
Lloyd looked at Javiel in bewilderment..
Javiel smiled elegantly with only one lip..
“Thank you, Lloyd. You weren't kidding me..”
“Do you know that now??”
“yes.”
“Harrell. Look at how shameless it is.”
“I had no choice. Because it’s a concept I’ve never thought of before..”
“So do you understand now??”
“yes. but-”
“but? What is it again?.”
“I was curious about how Lloyd came up with such an exquisite technique..”
“why? Can’t I think of things like this??”
“Of course not…….”
Javiel blurted out his words..
Lloyd tightened his hold on his neck..
“That's it. Keep your promise. You know I'm not kidding you, now?”
“yes.”
“Then just do what I tell you to do.?”
“I'm willing to do anything.”
Although he may be cold, he does it for sure if he does it..
Javiel nodded..
At that moment, a message appeared before my eyes..
Ding dong.
[Javiel Asrahan is grateful for your teachings..]
[Javiel Asrahan's affinity for you has increased by +3..]
[Current relationship with Javiel Asrahan : -11]
[Earned 54 RP by slightly improving relationships with key characters.]
[RP you currently own : 561]
‘good.’
I was convinced that he had accepted this matter with his heart..
Now, it was time to test its performance(?) for full-scale quarrying work..
♣
“Now, from now on, you will play the role of human dynamite..”
The next morning dawned.
Far west from the orc village.
Lloyd held up a large brush in the granite area exposed at the foot of the mountain range..
And then I soaked it in the jar I was holding in my arms..
slap.
The red paint I received from the orcs soaked into the brush..
Lloyd held up a brush covered in red paint..
I stamped it on the floor at regular intervals..
“here. And here. Here again.”
puff puff puff!
A fist-sized red dot was engraved on the floor..
“You see the places I mark?”
“yes. Can I just stick a sword in there??”
“okay. You're smart. Stab, hit the mana circle, boom. know?”
“All right. But is there a set depth??”
“huh. 10 meters.”
“10Meter?”
“It's the deepest hole you can make at your current level. yes?”
“yes.”
“Poke at that depth consistently. And explode. with full force.”
Lloyd clenched his fist and opened it as if showing off..
“From the beginning, they calculated the depth at which it would explode and marked the point where it would explode. Instead, after everything explodes, you have to quickly run away in my direction? Otherwise, you'll end up crushed by a collapsing rock. Understand?”
“……All right.”
Javiel nodded..
Lloyd retreated dozens of meters from the planned explosion site..
I raised my arms high towards Javiel..
“three! two! one! Fire in the Hole!”
shouted loudly.
1Seconds later, I saw Javiel raise his sword..
Soon, the guy disappeared. No, it became blurry. Moving with ghostly speed, he stabbed his sword into the rock..
Lloyd clenched his fists as he looked at that scene..
‘please succeed.’
If successful, quarrying becomes incredibly easy..
Just as a revolution occurred in quarries thanks to the invention of dynamite by Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel. Just as stones that previously took dozens of people to dig out for a year using primitive chisels, hammers, and crowbars can now be dug out in just a few days..
If Javiel plays the role of ANFO, or neumite, an explosive used in modern blasting work, the ice storage can be completed within this month..
‘That's why I taught you blasting. Please pay for my meal!’
Lloyd prayed..
and witnessed.
flashing!
“……!”
Flashes of light rose from all over the huge granite rock..
Immediately after that, Haviel came running towards me like a gale..
Arrived in an instant and stopped right in front of me..
“I'm home.”
Clap.
The guy put his longsword in its sheath..
That moment-
Tuhuahahaha!
Fierce shock waves and gusts of wind came from the granite area..
The entire huge rock mass was split into dozens of pieces..
It collapsed like a giant falls..
Rumbling……!
An overwhelming roar that shakes the earth.
Lloyd clenched his fists without realizing it. I was sure.
“it's okay.”
Finally, all construction preparations are complete.
Now, it was time to start construction in earnest..
