History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 77

“This is my first time seeing something like this.”
The doctor looked up..
A perplexed expression appeared on his face..
“Obviously my heart isn't beating. So it's natural to die. No, he should already be dead. But it's alive. Even breathing…….”
“I'm fine. Am I right?”
“That's right.”
Lloyd lying in hospital bed.
The doctor's eyes as he looked at Lloyd seemed full of confusion beyond embarrassment..
It could have been so.
It is natural for someone whose heart stops to die. No, it's a law of nature.
But there was an exception right in front of me..
At first I thought it was undead. I also thought it was a fresh(?) zombie made from a freshly dead body..
but it wasn't.
This patient was clearly alive.!
A bitter smile appeared on the Count's lips..
“Could you explain in a little more detail?.”
“Ah, yes.”
The doctor wiped his half-bald head with a handkerchief..
His explanation continued..
“As you know, the heart is an organ that supplies blood to the entire body. Therefore, when the heart stops, the pulse stops. It means dying. But this patient is now…….”
“now?”
“My pulse is racing. Even when my heart stops.”
The doctor continued..
“That's not all. I'm even breathing. I have a slight fever, but my body temperature is quite normal. So I don't understand it even more. Did this patient receive magical treatment??”
“No, I never did that at all..”
The Count shook his head..
A night of disaster brought about by Giga Titan.
Lloyd, who collapsed that day, has not received proper treatment until now..
No, a more accurate explanation would be that there was no suitable way to treat him..
‘Because no one dared to treat me.’
Lloyd's condition was truly bizarre..
my heart stopped beating.
But the pulse was fine..
Breathing continued calmly..
Thanks to this, every doctor he called was embarrassed, appalled, and shocked when he diagnosed his condition..
It was the same today.
“Actually, I called other doctors before I called you. You are the eleventh..”
“…….”
“Everyone had the same reaction as you. The cause could not be found, and of course a cure could not be proposed. Are you like that too??”
“I am…….”
“You can be honest. It's so strange that no one can fault your abilities..”
“sorry.”
“Is that so too?.”
“yes. This is my first time seeing a patient like this.…….”
“It's okay. You worked hard to get this far. Let's go. Travel expenses and remuneration will be taken care of by the general butler..”
“All right. Well then, that's it.”
In the end, the eleventh doctor who was called also retreated in despair..
The Count of Cremo's expression darkened..
‘Can't I find a way to wake that friend up like this?.’
Lloyd Frontera lying in hospital bed.
He was a talent I never wanted to lose..
last night of disaster.
It was even more so when he thought of the grace he received that day..
‘Countless citizens are indebted to that young man. That's the same for me too. If it weren't for that friend, would I have been this fine now?.’
It wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for Lloyd's base..
The sailing ship he was on must have also been caught up in an attack by the Giga Titans..
Not only himself but also his only daughter would have lost their lives..
It was a terrible thing to even think about..
He shook off the goosebumps and looked away..
“Aren't you tired?.”
“I'm fine.”
The corner of the hospital room where the Count's gaze was directed.
The silver-haired knight who was standing there silently shook his head faintly..
The count's bitter smile deepened..
“I understand that you are not fully healed yet..”
“I have enough power to protect you, Lloyd..”
“That's amazing.”
“That's too much praise..”
In reality, Javiel was still wearing a splint on his left arm..
The day I was hit directly by the front leg of the Giga Titan..
This was because the injured arm at the time had not fully healed yet..
“If you can only use your right arm, it's not a big problem..”
“But it looks like you've been holding on with your eyes open for four days already..”
“Anyway, I suffer from insomnia..”
“Is it Sword Master Syndrome??”
“yes, maybe.”
Javiel nodded..
I didn't know that before. But now, thanks to Lloyd, he also knew to some extent the true nature of his insomnia..
“I can't believe I'm already suffering from that syndrome at that age. That's amazing.”
“It is thanks to my master’s deep and great care..”
“You mean Baron Frontera??”
“yes.”
“I envy him.”
“If you wish, I will tell you that, my lord..”
“No, that's enough.”
The count waved his hand..
“He seems like such a tight friend. The Baron will be horrified if you tell him that. I am not a person who covets subordinates' subjects. I don't want to be misunderstood like that. but-”
A meaningful light appeared in the count's eyes..
“No matter how this ends, it looks like you might be a little busy..”
“What do you mean by that?.”
“Your Majesty the King.”
The count continued..
“Anyway, I am in a position where I have to report this incident to His Majesty. All the lands of this country are under your grace. So, of course, the story of your group cannot be left out..”
“…….”
Javiel's head nodded faintly..
Actually it's natural.
He himself stepped forward and tied the Giga Titan's feet..
Lloyd came after that and put an end to the Giga Titans..
It was a fact that could not be hidden..
“Perhaps His Majesty will show great interest in you. Anyway, all I can hope for now is for that friend to wake up okay. For a friend like that to close his eyes like this is something you would not want..”
“I agree..”
“Well, anyway, my ramblings were long. I guess I'll just go. I'll come back with another doctor around this time tomorrow..”
“All right.”
“If you are having a hard time, call someone and let them know. My knights will be able to protect that friend well..”
“All right.”
“That friend is really hard.”
“thank you.”
The count laughed..
Finally, he glanced at Lloyd in the hospital bed with worried eyes and left the hospital room..
Only Lloyd and Javiel remained in the hospital room..
“ha.”
Only then does the sigh I was holding in come out..
I cast my complicated gaze, which I tried so hard to hide, onto the hospital bed..
‘Lloyd, are you okay?.’
Lloyd lying in a hospital bed as if asleep.
Javiel's blue eyes became disturbed as he looked at him..
Suddenly, yesterday's events came to mind..
Was it after the tenth doctor visited?.
As before, the doctor also failed to understand Lloyd's condition..
It was frustrating to watch..
That's why.
Time left alone with Lloyd.
I checked Lloyd's condition without anyone knowing..
Unlike doctors, he used his own method using mana..
However, Lloyd's condition was truly shocking..
‘I've reached the triple circle stage.’
I could feel it as soon as I invested my mana into it and diagnosed it..
Three circles surrounded Lloyd's heart..
Lloyd had previously been in the double circle stage, but while he was defeated by the Giga Titan, he created a triple circle..
That wasn't the only surprise.
‘Those three circles were spinning at incredible speeds..’
It was a speed beyond common sense..
The rotation speed was close to the limit of the faint mind..
Thanks to this, a powerful mana magnetic field surrounded the entire heart..
Because of that, I couldn't look inside the circle. He couldn't even get a glimpse of the state of his heart. He had no way of guessing what was happening..
That wasn't the only strange thing.
‘The body of the Giga Titan I examined two days ago... … I added it.’
I could still recall it vividly..
The gigantic corpse of a giga titan collapsed on a rocky cliff near the coast..
He was a member of the investigation team that examined the body..
Thanks to this, I clearly saw the fatal wounds carved into the monster's body..
11Between shell number 1 and shell number 12.
The weak point of the Giga Titan mentioned by Lloyd.
There was a huge hole there..
I knew it as soon as I saw it.
It was a trace of a hole made by blasting..
So I couldn't understand it even more..
‘The scale and power of the blast... … It was so different from what I knew..’
It was on a scale that went beyond common sense..
It was an insane level of power..
torches and candles.
shells and beads.
If you compare that blast with yours, the difference seems to be quite big..
The more I looked, the more I could not help but feel astonished..
However, one thing was certain.
It was true that the person who used that crazy level of blasting was probably Lloyd..
‘How on earth…….’
It seemed like there was probably some kind of connection between that incredible level of blasting and Lloyd's current state..
But the details were still unknown..
‘What on earth did you do that day, Lloyd?.’
Javiel cast a look filled with deep doubt and concern..
However, Lloyd, lying in the hospital bed, did not respond. The only response he gave was a quick exhalation..
As Javiel looked on, only the winter sunlight falling on the quiet hospital room was silently waning..
Of course, Javiel didn't even know in his dreams..
This moment you are looking at.
An unprecedented, miraculous spirit is sprouting inside Lloyd..
♣
Excited. Exciting.
Lloyd's heart raced..
No, Mana jumped..
his heart had stopped.
It was obvious.
A few days ago, his heart received a huge shock..
Exposed to the impact of blasting without the protection of a circle..
It wasn't even an ordinary blast, it was a blast where three circles collided..
The force of the fierce collision hit the heart..
If it had been Javiel or any other knight, the damage was so great that death would have occurred at that moment..
But Lloyd was different..
he didn't die.
my heart didn't explode.
The mana heart in my heart didn't explode..
The reason was simple.
Because he had no manahat..
Exciting, Exciting…….
It was Lloyd who had not yet created Mana Heart..
It was like that from the time when Lord Neumann first prepared for the duel..
He had no manahat..
To be exact, I didn't have time to make Manahat..
In the first place, Mana Heart was not something that anyone could easily make..
An enormous amount of time and effort had to be invested in the synthesis itself..
Even if you are a genius of the century, at least 6 months.
Even for someone called a genius, it took about two years..
Needless to say, ordinary people.
Around 5 years at the earliest.
In cases where qualifications were insufficient, it could take more than 10 years..
Of course, Lloyd was not a genius or a genius..
He was just a person who had learned some strange techniques to prepare for the duel with Lord Neumann..
After learning the vague practice method, I thought that was enough..
I didn't bother making mana hearts..
So he didn't have manahat..
Unlike the splendid appearance of the mana circle surrounding his heart, the inside of his heart was in the same state as that of an ordinary person..
That fact saved him..
Saved his life from the crash caused by the Mana Circle..
Thump... … Thump thump…….
In the first place, Manahat was not a natural being in the human body..
The essence and identity of Mana Heart was that in order for humans to generate greater power, mana that far exceeded the natural amount was stored in the heart through artificial training..
But Lloyd didn't have that..
In other words, from a mana perspective, his heart was almost empty space..
There was no mana heart to burst..
Instead, there was only empty space..
Rather, the impact of the blast filled the empty space..
Explosive power filled the space and condensed..
It condensed and created a core with unique properties..
A storm of mana was reorganized around the core and settled inside the heart..
slowly.
slow.
but definitely.
Dukuung… … ! Cooung!
Inside the three rapidly rotating circles, a new Mana Heart of an unprecedented form was being born..
♣
A few days have passed.
Meanwhile, the trading city of Cremo has become more organized..
Everyone tried to escape the aftereffects of the disaster..
Repairs to the destroyed central square have been completed..
The collapsed and damaged buildings and bell tower were largely repaired..
The blown up guard post No. 23 was rebuilt, and most of the injured people left the place..
Meanwhile, many rumors were circulating in the city..
Some rumors say that there was someone who rescued the people who had fallen into the sea after a sailing ship was destroyed by a Giga Titan attack. Another rumor said that a person summoned a beast to extinguish a fire that was spreading near the square..
And some rumors say that a man fought against the Giga Titans. Another rumor said that the man defeated the Giga Titan at the end of the fight, and that he was left in a coma as a result..
As such, many rumors spread..
It spread and fit together like a puzzle one by one..
Naturally, the truth came to light one after another..
The person who rescued those who fell into the sea and the person who extinguished the fire were the same person. The person who extinguished the fire and the person who fought against the Giga Titan were the same person. He had killed the Qi Titan and was lying in a hospital bed, suffering from death..
Finally everyone knew.
Lloyd Frontera.
He did it..
Thanks to that, everyone was safe..
It was from the day I found out.
One by one, citizens gathered in the city square..
There was one purpose.
There was only one wish.
“Why are we gathered in this cold weather? of course. Lloyd Frontera saved me. Because I want that person to survive..”
So we gathered together.
I didn't care about the bitter midwinter wind..
The citizens' wishes for Lloyd's recovery were louder and hotter than the bitter wind..
We prayed and sang in unison.
I thought it was a reward for Lloyd's sacrifice for the city..
Ten days passed again like that..
The last day of the year has dawned.
That day when the particularly cold wind blew.
Finally, as everyone had hoped, Lloyd opened his eyes..
