“Bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!”
Kwaaaaang-!
The volcanic explosion skill exploded..
The magma created in Bell's stomach was shattered..
It turned into millions of pieces of dust and erupted violently..
5The plump, meter-sized body of Bang Bang was suddenly pushed away..
Tuchem!
The bell leapt.
It flew up from the western main tower of the suspension bridge..
It flew across the Majena River in one go..
There was a thick chain tightly clamped in its mouth..
And there was a cable attached to the chain.
Paaaaat!
plump arrow with rope.
No, the bell biting the chain flew away..
A long cable, led by Bell, drew a clear line over the 238-meter-wide Majena River..
And rushed towards the top of the eastern tower..
There was a natural(?) cushion waiting there to catch the bells..
“Podong! Podo-dong!”
10A meter-sized Podong stands on two feet..
I spread my arms wide and stuck out my puffy belly..
I held my breath so recklessly..
Soon the bell flew and collided..
Tooong!
Jeongbul's round head was buried in Podongi's belly like an arrow..
However, Podong’s stomach was protected by several layers of structure..
The cotton-like thick fur absorbed the force of the first impact..
Thick leather prevented secondary damage..
The puffy belly dispersed the rest of the shock..
Podong moved his arms.
I held on to the bell in case it bounced away..
Promising not to let go, I hugged him and rolled around..
At the end, the black eyes of the two phantom species met..
“Podong?”
“Bell!”
“Podo-dong?”
“Drop drops!”
We confirmed that each other was comfortable..
A bright smile bloomed brightly.
Behind him, Javiel moved quickly..
“It's now!”
Lloyd's voice comes from across the street..
In the midst of that cry, I stretched out my hand and grabbed the chain..
It was a chain that Baeul-gi had crossed over..
I got a card!
The chain and the connected cable held together to prevent it from falling..
All Mana Hearts and three Mana Circles were mobilized..
“Hmm!”
Clumping!
Podong and Baulgi also came running..
held together.
I held on and pulled..
pulled, caught.
Finally, the cable at the end of the chain was caught in my grasp..
At that moment, I turned around. He carried it over her shoulder. I walked. She moved forward. approached the goal.
There was a socket there to connect the cable to the top of the pylon..
“Put it in!”
With Lloyd shouting, the end of the cable was pushed into the socket..
Slam! Geek!
The cables and sockets fit tightly, as if they had been made by measuring them with a ruler..
Immediately after checking that, I turned the socket. locked it.
The cable is securely fastened.
But Javiel was not relieved..
I quickly turned my head. I looked back at the western main tower across the river. Lloyd's appearance was confirmed..
Only then was I able to see it.
“……success!”
Lloyd was waving his arms in this direction..
A slightly gasping cry was also heard..
It looks like the cable over there has also been connected..
“Phew.”
After completing the most dangerous and thrilling process, Javiel finally breathed a sigh of relief..
Lloyd is safe too..
That's enough.
♣
After that, complex processes continued one after another..
I've only just hung up the main cable..
Under the increasingly hot sun, the second act of construction unfolded..
The main cable was also connected to the back of the pylon. It was secured to each land-facing anchorage at the rear of the tower..
After that, a suspension made of chains was installed..
If the main cable hanging between the pylons was a clothesline, the suspension material was shaped like dozens of harp strings hanging vertically from the clothesline..
In the process, Podong played an outstanding role..
To conclude, Podong was a master of rope climbing..
10With its large size measuring up to a meter, it was able to easily ride the main cable..
It was basic to run on the undulating cable as if it were flat ground..
It was also possible to hang and move freely..
Sometimes I slipped due to my chubby belly..
“Podo-dong!”
Every day, we walked freely across the cables, hanging and fixing numerous suspension materials to the cables..
Once the suspension installation was completed, the biggest task remained..
The task was to raise the deck of the bridge and connect it..
To achieve this, Lloyd first floated the deck in the river..
“I'm so glad.”
“What a relief?”
The dwarven craftsman, Wells Corgidus, looked up at Lloyd..
A satisfied smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..
“This is the bridge deck I ordered. The truss structure was made much stronger than expected..”
“Can you say that? Who made it.”
“Of course, you are Corgidus, the best craftsman..”
“Guy, flattery is.”
Corgidus snorted..
“But you arrogant human being. What do you plan to do from now on?.”
“What do you plan to do??”
“That's it.”
Corgidus pointed toward the river with his chin..
There was a large raft floating on the river..
And on top of the raft was part of the bridge deck, which was a huge steel truss structure..
Corgidus continued to ask questions..
“Didn’t you say you were going to connect that thing to the upper suspension material today??”
“Yes, I did..”
“But it's nice to have it floating in the river, but how are you planning to lift it??”
“Oh, you mean that?.”
Lloyd chuckled after receiving the question..
“There are many ways. It's called the 'jack up down' construction method, and I'm trying to apply it to suit the current situation..”
“jack up down?”
“yes.”
“what is that.”
“Well, to put it simply… … Hey, just take a look..”
“what?”
Lloyd just grinned..
It was a bit difficult to explain it to people here..
However, it was impossible to say, ‘This is the method used to build Gwangan Bridge in Busan.’.
So I just shrugged my shoulders..
Of course, Corgidus's mind became more complicated..
‘Jack up down or something. How are you going to lift that thing??’
I couldn't understand.
This was because he knew better than anyone else the scale of the truss structure bridge deck he had manufactured this time..
‘Even though all the craftsmen under my command were mobilized, it took a whopping 4 months to make the six spaces. It's really heavy. The weight of one square or block alone is easily over 100 tons..’
But how do you lift it from the raft to the height of the suspension beam?.
It was a moment when the wrinkles around the father-in-law's eyes deepened with doubt..
“Bogurrrrruk, Hamang.!”
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from the middle of the river..
It was right after that..
Shoot aaaaa!
“uh? The river water is sucked in!”
The river suddenly stirred as if an onlooker was shouting..
It seemed like it was swirling, but then I was sucked into one spot..
It was as if a hole had appeared in the riverbed where there was none..
Soon Corgidus and the onlookers came to see it..
The overwhelming sight of a water-drinking hippo swimming under a raft.!
“Damn! hippopotamus!”
Jump up! I burst out laughing!
Hamangi shouted loudly and drank water from the river..
One sip, two sips, each time Hamangi’s body swelled like a balloon. It grew endlessly.
10meters, 15 meters, 20 meters…….
Crackling!
The raft was carried on the back of the growing Hamangi..
“Hippo! Hamang!”
Hamangi’s body grew even more unstoppable..
The raft on his back was also lifted upward..
50meters, 60 meters… … Finally, when Hamangi's body grew to 70 meters, Lloyd gave a signal..
“Hamang, stop!”
“……Hamang?”
“Can you stop drinking the river water for a moment??”
“Hippomang? Hamang?”
“I'll let you drink it again later!”
“Hamang!”
……Just like that, Hamangi stopped at 70 meters. Thanks to this, the bridge deck on its back was fixed at a height of 48 meters above the river surface..
The height was exactly the same as the point where the end of the previously installed suspension material came down..
Lloyd shouted..
“Come on, let's go.!”
He led the waiting workers across the bridge deck..
Dozens of strands of suspension material were connected to pre-made sockets throughout the countertop..
When one block of top was connected, the same process was repeated..
“Hamang!”
Hamangi, which had become small, grew bigger again and pushed up the next block..
Lloyd, Javiel, and the workers who were waiting above connected the top and suspension materials. We also connected the top plate to the top plate using a link-type joint joint device that we had ordered in advance. The hot flames created by wizards replaced the welding process..
The connection work continued for several days..
Finally finished connecting the last top..
Clap!
The moment when the final suspension material is inserted into the socket.
A clear message appeared before Lloyd's eyes..
Ding dong.
[Construction of a suspension bridge in the royal capital Magenta has been completed..]
[You have successfully completed the construction of the first large suspension bridge in the history of the Laurasia continent..]
[This new type of bridge will be deeply loved by the citizens of the royal capital. Additionally, it will be called ‘Roy Harvey Bridge’ after the builder and his handsome knight..]
[‘‘Roy Harvey Bridge’ will become a new landmark in the royal capital Magenta..]

[850 Earned RP.]

‘it's okay.’
A welcome message informing you of your achievements.
RP acquisition message full of joy every time you hear it.
Lloyd smiled brightly as he looked at that. she realized.
The construction of a long suspension bridge was successfully completed..
Also, he thought.
Achievement RP is just the beginning.
Compensation so generous that it will make your stomach explode is real from now on..
♣
“Jim Alicia Termina Magentano declares.”
Coo! Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
King, Alicia's quiet voice rang majestically..
It wasn't a megaphone magic to raise your voice..
she was a sword master.
He was able to freely use the technique of amplifying his voice in all directions by attaching mana to it..
A voice that rings so loudly.
With each word, 20 magically controlled golems moved in perfect harmony..
‘10 each entered from the west and east sides of the Roy Harvey Bridge..
marched towards the center of the bridge.
Coo! Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The bridge deck shook with every heavy step..
But the bridge did not collapse.
Rather, it was more flexible and sturdy..
Twenty golems gathered at the center of the bridge..
Until then, the ‘Roy Harvey Bridge’ boasted a comfortable appearance..
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Twenty golems stopped..
They lined up behind the King who stood on the podium in the center of the bridge..
A happy smile bloomed on King Alicia’s lips..
“Lloyd Frontera, who built such a strong and beautiful bridge, is personally given the title of ‘Master Craftsman’..”
Wow-!
Hundreds of pure white pigeons filled the sky..
Citizens gathered along the riverside cheered..
The old bridge was an insecurity to them..
Every spring, I was worried that it would collapse due to floods..
Especially after the cracks appeared this spring..
A bridge that must be used to cross the river.
I felt anxious every time I crossed it..
I was afraid that it would suddenly collapse without warning..
Nevertheless, I had no choice but to cross because I had to make a living..
But now there is no need to be anxious.
beautiful new suspension bridge.
The Roy Harvey Bridge seemed safe to them..
Aside from the strange shape that looked like it was hanging on a clothesline, there was not a single pier hanging into the river..
So I had faith that even if a violent flood came, I would not be affected in any way..
It was the same now too.
As many as twenty golems were marching and gathered in the center. However, let alone shaking, the legs did not sag or sag at all..
“Lloyd! lloyd!”
Lloyd's name was mixed in with the cheers of the citizens..
The voices chanting my name grew louder..
Finally, with one voice, the gathered citizens shouted in unison..
It was a voice filled with the highest respect and gratitude that citizens could express in honor of the person who built them a safe new bridge ahead of the upcoming festival commemorating the completion of the suspension bridge..
Thanks to this, Lloyd had to drop his shoulder..
‘Whoa.’
Would you feel like this if you became a global Korean Wave star?.
A situation where your name is echoing throughout the city..
It was unrealistic, but my heart pounded..
Afterwards, various compliments from the king continued..
Various rewards also continued like Vienna sausages..
received huge compensation.
The amount was more than enough to repay the Baron's private loan..
In addition, a lifetime pension was given as a bonus..
‘done. it's okay.’
Is there any reward in the world greater than money?.
Lloyd had his fists clenched throughout the completion ceremony..
Even if my clenched fists were sweaty.
I was proud.
It was thrilling.
It's already been a year and a half since I came here after living as Kim Su-ho..
Pay off the private debt you've been longing for all along.
It has finally become a reality.
‘Now, if I go back to the Barony, I'll just live the rest of my life sucking honey and wallowing..’
Finally paid off all the debt.
Pensions are paid out in a hurry in the country..
Since he is a country noble, there is no risk of being caught up in grand treason or anything like that..
There, I will enjoy the rest of my life in peace like a bee..
Lloyd was in a happy mood..
So now there's only one problem left to solve..
A promise I made secretly when I took Julien out of the academy a few months ago. If you can achieve that, you can return to the barony with a lot of peace of mind..
With that in mind, Lloyd measured the timing..
I looked into the king's eyes..
I quickly got down on one knee..
After the completion ceremony, he spoke in a somewhat sad tone to the King who was coming down from the podium..
“Your Majesty, first of all, I would like to thank you for the kindness you have bestowed upon me today. However, apart from that, I, Lloyd Frontera, have something I would like to express to your Majesty the King..”
“what?”
The king, who was about to leave the podium, stopped..
Her gaze slowly returns this way.
“It's something I really want to tell Jim. Something.”
done.
I came over.
Feeling that, Lloyd smiled beneath his lowered head..
He happened to be given the title of master craftsman..
It is a situation where the King's favor and trust have been gained..
So, the time is now..
“It is no different, but extremely absurd, irrational, and despicable acts are continuously being committed at Magenta University and Academy, which Your Majesty personally supports. I wonder if Your Majesty is aware of this situation..”
“……What? There's an absurdity going on at the academy that Jim doesn't know about.?”
“It's a pity, but it's true, Your Majesty..”
Lloyd's sorrowful voice.
Lips with a secretly meaningful smile.
Finally, the response I was waiting for came back..
“Please explain in a little more detail.”
It was from then on..
Those who only believed in their family and installed themselves at the academy.
Academy officials who defended and protected it.
To crush them without even having any excuses.
Lloyd's thorough tattling, filled with facts like a tightly packed cod roe shell, has begun..
