The best territory designer of all time - Episode 66

66fury. Reinforcement of phantom species (2)

‘volcanic eruption?’

Lloyd's eyes wavered..

If you interpret it literally, it means that a volcano is erupting..

No, it means erupting a volcano..

‘It can't really be like that..’

If the volcano really erupts, it would be a major disaster..

Isn't it a nuisance skill that can't be used in most cases?.

Lloyd's gaze turned to Baeul-i..

“Oh, bell?”

“Bell?”

Baul-ri raised his head..

A cute face that hasn't changed even after enhancement.

The bright black eyes were sparkling as if asking me to ask anything..

Lloyd asked with a warm smile..

“Hey, I just got a new skill.?”

“Bell!”

“Is that really a volcano exploding or something like that??”

“Bell? Ppadropul? Bell!”

“Hmm, it’s similar but different.?”

“Bell!”

“Can you explain more??”

“Drop by drop! Bell!”

“Mmm, it's going to explode?”

“Bell!”

Bell nodded his round head..

“…….”

Similar yet different.

It's going to explode.

There was no way to specifically guess what that answer meant..

‘The best way to be sure is to check it yourself..’

Lloyd packed the three phantom species in his inner pocket..

I put on my coat again and went out of the blacksmith shop..

‘I need to go a little further away.’

If possible, go to a place without people..

To a place where you can't even see people's houses.

So, even if a big explosion occurs, move to a place where there will be no damage to the surrounding area..

‘Because I don’t know the exact nature of this skill yet..’

It seemed best to be as careful as possible..

He even stopped by the dorm and woke up Javiel..

“Hey, wake up.”

“Ugh, uhm.”

“I want you to wake up?”

“Off.”

“Just open your eyes, you shabby sheep.?”

“What kind of curse is that again?.”

“Oh my. See your eyes flashing bright blue?.”

“Lloyd was making fun of me, so I couldn't help but open my eyes..”

“That means I was already awake.?”

“yes.”

“I didn't want to wake up so I kept pretending to sleep.?”

“yes.”

“omg. I don't even deny it.”

“Because I wanted to stay asleep if possible..”

Javiel stretched his neck this way and that and raised his upper body..

Rubbing heavy eyelids.

I guess I slept really deeply and woke up reluctantly..

Lloyd realized that he had committed the atrocity of waking up an insomniac in the middle of the night without hesitation..

A bitter smile came out of me..

“Well, what can I do? This is the situation.”

“What a situation.?”

“I need you to protect me for a moment..”

“What do you mean, you have to protect it?.”

Javiel's eyes, which had been trying to shake off sleep, suddenly became clear..

Lloyd's bitter smile deepened..

“volcanic eruption.”

“yes?”

“I need to protect me from a volcanic eruption.”

“…….”

“hey?”

“…….”

“Why are you silent?.”

“Can I be honest with you?.”

“uh.”

“I'm thinking about ways to protect Lloyd from mental illness..”

“They say it's not mental illness, but a volcanic eruption..”

“My worries are getting more intense..”

“Hey? Because it's real?”

Lloyd took out a bell..

Baeulgi smiled brightly when he saw Haviel..

“He's going to cause a volcanic eruption.”

“……yes?”

“It's true, bell?”

“Bell!”

The bell nods its head brightly.

Only then did Javiel's eyes become sharper..

“After all, it was real..”

“Do you believe the bells more than me?.”

“At least neither Baul, Podong, or Hamangi lie. It's very different from someone who hides their dark insides and enjoys deceiving others, making fun of them, and laughing evilly..”

“Tsk.”

It's been a long time since I felt it, but Javiel seems to have an outstanding talent for hitting an opponent's solar plexus with a fastball at 160 km/h..

Nevertheless, his attitude was very serious and serious..

So it was a direct pitch that was more difficult to refute..

‘I was born with it, I was born with it.’

Lloyd said with a bitter smile..

“Well, anyway, it looks like Bell has learned a new skill. I think they're going to cause something similar to a volcanic eruption..”

“Are you trying out that new technology??”

“uh. I can't guess the power.”

“All right.”

Javiel took his coat and sword..

So we left the inn together..

I walked the streets at night and passed through the city..

Headed in the opposite direction from the coast, inland.

I passed through the gate and went to the back of the city, avoiding the guards..

I entered the deserted midnight forest..

Suddenly, I saw a fairly large vacant lot..

‘This would be appropriate.’

Lloyd placed the bell in the center of the clearing..

I held out a red sunflower seed to Bell..

“Oh, bell?”

“Bell?”

“Our bell, want to have a late night snack??”

“Drop drops?”

“Hey, sunflower seed midnight snack..”

“Bell!”

The bell smelled the sunflower seeds and waggled its short, chubby tail..

I put a sunflower seed in his little mouth..

And quickly took a step back..

The transformation took place immediately..

Tuang-!

10The bell that was 1cm tall suddenly grew to 5 meters tall..

Lloyd asked.

“Oh, bell?”

“Bell?”

“Can you use the volcanic eruption skill later??”

“Bell!”

“Yes, thank you. When I give the signal, it explodes..”

“Bell!”

“By the way, the volcanic eruption skill..”

“Bell?”

“If I use that, it won't mean that this forest will disappear.?”

“Bell! Drop by drop! Bell!”

“what? It depends on the direction of writing?”

“Bell!”

“Then you can use it in whatever direction you want.?”

“Bell!”

Bell nodded his now huge head..

He then pretended to block both ear holes with his chubby tail..

“Drop by drop. Bell!”

“Instead, tell me to cover my ears because it hurts my eardrums.?”

“Bell!”

“Then I don't have to stay far away.?”

“Bell!”

The bell nods again.

It seemed like a volcanic eruption was a little different from a literal volcanic eruption..

Lloyd said with a little relief..

“okay. Then, when I give the signal, there will be a volcanic eruption over there.?”

“Bell!”

The bell raised its tail as if giving a thumbs up..

Lloyd distanced himself from Baeulgi by about 10 meters..

I hid behind Javiel..

Javiel drew his sword..

“I'm ready.”

Perhaps the intention is to create a curtain of sword energy by swinging the sword at high speed..

That's why there's no need for a shield..

Lloyd felt reassured..

shouted at the bell.

“Now, bell? start!”

“Bell!”

Bang Bang, who was quite there, answered..

I started scooping up dirt from the spot..

Then, his chubby body trembled for a moment as if he was digesting food..

Soon, he started wagging his tail violently..

Jingling Jingling Jingling!

The bell on the tail sounded a clear warning sound..

At the same time, he raised his tail high..

The process up to this point was the same as the normally used skill, the steel grinding..

On the other hand, what happened next was so different..

Rumbling-!

“……!”

A roar that really feels like a volcano shaking.

At the same time, a violent physical phenomenon occurred in Baeulgi's stomach and anus..

magma erupted.

It was magma made from scooped-up dirt..

As the magma erupted outward, it underwent extreme changes..

Throwing a bet!

From the beginning, the bellies' stomach was an environment of high temperature and high pressure, enough for magma to be created..

In comparison, the outside world(?) outside the anus was different..

The pressure was much lower than in Jeongbul's stomach..

The temperature also differed by several hundred degrees..

In other words, the magma that was ejected experienced an extreme decrease in pressure and temperature..

The change in the environment drastically reduced the saturated gas pressure of the magma..

Volatile substances dissolved inside the magma fluctuated..

the water boiled.

Carbon dioxide is running rampant.

Chlorine, fluorine, sulfide substances, carbon monoxide, etc. ran away..

In other words, all the gases were vaporized at once and exploded, tearing through the magma..

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

A big explosion finally occurred.

The magma shattered in an instant..

Torn to pieces in micrometers.

Tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of pieces of volcanic ash were dispersed and sprayed..

Although the process was long, it actually happened in less than 0.1 seconds..

Moreover, the explosion did not end in just one time..

Quaaaaang-! Fuuuuuuu-! Kwaang-!

Normally, a long-held fart doesn't end in just one go..

The volcanic eruption finally stopped after making three more loud noises in succession..

“gagging.”

A gasp came out of my mouth..

‘Wow. crazy, crazy.’

Lloyd hit both ears with his palms..

My ears were deaf even though I covered them tightly..

But when I saw the scene unfolding before my eyes, my deaf ears were not the problem..

‘All the trees have fallen.’

A volcanic eruption fired(?) over there.

The explosion was so strong that the trees in that direction fell like dominoes..

The number alone seemed to be more than 50 trees..

But Lloyd didn't run there right away..

There was something to check before the results of the volcanic eruption..

“Hey, are you okay??”

“…….”

“hey?”

Habiel has no answer.

I tapped the guy on the shoulder..

Only then did Javiel flinch his upper body..

I looked back here late..

“Did you call me??”

“uh. Are you deaf by any chance??”

“I can't hear what you're saying clearly.”

“……Uh, sorry. I forgot to cover my ears and didn't tell you..”

“yes?”

“no. It'll be okay in a little while.”

“yes?”

“Has it really become Saojeong?.”

“yes?”

“……done. wait a moment.”

He must already have very sensitive hearing due to Sword Master Syndrome..

It seemed like it was because I was defenselessly exposed to a loud noise in that condition..

Lloyd gestured to Javiel to wait and then approached Bell..

“Bell? you are okay?”

“Bell!”

“what? It's so cool?”

“Bell! Drop drops!”

“Oh, it's a bit difficult to do it again. Can you do it later??”

“Bell!”

I left my regret(?) behind and headed towards the place where the volcanic eruption was launched..

It had already become a gray world..

Ash was still falling like snow from the sky..

The falling ash piled up on the floor in gray color..

The sight of grass, flowers, rocks, and trees all covered in gray ash was as if…….

‘It looks like it's completely covered in volcanic ash..’

For some reason, my eyes also stung a lot..

Lloyd covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve..

I squinted my eyes as much as possible and observed the ground..

It was with surveying skills..

Tsutsutsutsu……!

The surveying skill was activated, and various information about the ground under his gaze came to mind..

The slope of the land was clearly visible..

The bedrock and soil texture of the stratum were identified..

Lastly, the indicator…….

‘This is real volcanic ash.?’

Lloyd's eyes, which had been squinting, widened..

He unconsciously lowered his knees and stretched out his hands..

I smoothed out the gray ash lightly covering the ground..

A texture finer than flour left my fingertips..

‘It's real.’

Volcanic ash that I wanted to save so much.

Volcanic ash that, if available, will immediately solve the cement problem..

The volcanic ash was now piled up in a heap before my eyes..

Plus, you can make this at any time.!

Thump thump, my heart was pounding..

‘oh my god. Seriously invited.’

In addition to rebar, they also make volcanic ash, which is the main material for cement..

Honey dripped from Lloyd's eyes as he looked back at Baeulgi as if he were giving him luck..

♣

Things went smoothly.

It was all thanks to the volcanic eruption, a new skill acquired by strengthening Baulgi..

The day after acquiring the new skill, Lloyd went to the dockside shipyard..

Purchased five large sails for sailing ships..

I had someone sew the sail..

The five sheets were meticulously stitched together..

That's how long and huge cylindrical diapers were made..

At one end of the diaper is a five-ply fine sieve that filters out fine particles and releases only the air..

At the other end, a hole about 1 meter in diameter was made..

Baeul-gi stuck his waist in the hole..

Naturally, I ended up wearing a 30 meter long inflatable diaper..

In that state, the bell ate the dirt in the central square of Cremo city..

My chubby body trembled and I digested it..

I shook the bell on my tail.

Jingling jingling!

Signal that the explosion is ready.

The moment that signal appeared, Lloyd covered his mouth with his hands..

I shouted loudly to the onlookers gathered around the square..

“Everyone, cover your ears! It's a lie!”

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

A volcanic explosion skill exploded inside the giant diaper..

Volcanic ash and gases of great heat erupted violently, causing the diaper to swell..

Then it was filtered through a five-layer sieve provided on the other side..

The gas slowly escaped out of the diaper..

Only the volcanic ash that was filtered through the sieve remained inside..

Lloyd's shout continued..

“It's a lie again!”

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

Volcanic explosion skill that explodes in succession.

Each time, the residents of the trading city cheered at the rare spectacle..

Merchants and sailors passing by also opened their eyes wide at the true scene..

Later, not only the city guard but even the Count of Cremo came out to take a look..

“Is this what you asked for permission to explode in the square??”

“Yes, Count..”

“Hmm, I didn't know you had the ability to summon such beasts..”

“It's just a talent I got lucky with..”

“How? no. Summoning isn't as easy as it sounds..”

What the Count said was true..

Magical talent was basic, and communication with summoned animals was also necessary..

‘Moreover, they say that the rarer the summon, the more difficult it is to handle..’

Bell was a summoned animal that even the count, who had a wide knowledge of knowledge, had never seen before..

A huge rattlesnake that eats dirt and sprays ash like that..

I've never heard of it or imagined it..

‘My friend's abilities are not average. The same goes for the young man over there who serves as an escort..’

The count suddenly remembered a rumor he had recently heard..

Frontera Territory at the foot of the Eastern Mountains.

It is said that two talented young people started to make a name for themselves there..

‘He was said to be the eldest son of a lord who rallied the people of the territory with his amazing construction skills, and a guard knight who reached the rank of sword expert at the age of only 20..’

Lloyd and Javiel.

The count's eyes towards the two people shone meaningfully..

It was not a feeling of jealousy or greed..

Rather, it was closer to a look of satisfaction..

‘I'll have to see how they handle this issue..’

I will be watching the moves of those two closely..

I will check if the rumors are true..

As a result, if we get a glimpse of the extraordinary side of those two like the rumors,?

‘I will have to report this fact to Your Majesty in detail..’

It is a clear national loss that such extraordinary talent is buried in a corner of the countryside. Such a talented person must unfold his will in a field that suits his abilities..

To that extent, the kingdom will become richer and stronger..

It was heartbreaking just thinking about it..

And perhaps today, the Count of Cremo thought, he may have discovered two such talents..

I suddenly felt happy.

Just like that, every time the Count of Cremo smiled faintly, Lloyd's powerful shout rang out in the square..

Every time, volcanic ash piled up and gathered together..

Lloyd's offshore artificial ground construction project.

A full-fledged stage was now being prepared for his abilities to be known to the world..
