The Greatest Architect

13. Asran cardinal method (2)

“Asran Deep Law. You want me to teach you that? ”

“ ……. ”

Xaviel stops.

I opened my eyes without knowing it.

I had to.

Master, you’re just his escort.

It was because words could never come out of such a man’s mouth.

You know my Mana technique? Lloyd?

I couldn’t understand.

Even in insomnia, this technique was also its own secret.

Of course I never told anyone.

I didn’t even have any enemies.

No, it was only a month ago that I even named it “Asran Achievement Method”!

‘It’s an unfinished performance. How do you know that? ’

Is this wretch using some kind of mind reading technique?

He looks at Lloyd in the face of a mysterious being.

Lloyd snorts.

“Well, why? Well.”

“ ……. ”

“Why are you looking at me like that? ”

“Of course… ”

“Of course?”

“How did you know? ”

He was a man who pretended to hide things every time.

The only thing that comes back is ridicule.

Now that Xaviel knows about it, he doesn’t have to.

Secret instead (?).

The answer was simple.

“He said it all in his sleep. ”

“Yes?”

“Seriously, did they teach you everything on their own? ”

“Is that true? ”

“Yes.”

Lloyd grins.

The truth?

Of course not.

It’s a perfect lie.

Xaviel didn’t have any bedtime stories.

Even the appearance of falling asleep was like a picture of an elegant figure.

Lloyd drooled on his lips and conscience.

“Prove it if you don’t believe me? ”

“Proof?”

“Here’s an example: ”

In the novel “Knight of the Iron Blood,” Asran’s deep method was detailed.

I recalled it and recited it to him.

“Manhattan has its limits. Born to set biological limits. So there’s a limit to the amount of Mana you can mobilize at once. ”

It was like a computer ram, or a water tank.

There are clear limits to the amount of data that can be flown once with an 8 gigabyte ram.

The amount of water that can be transported once with a liter of water tank is limited to 1 liter.

The amount of Mana that man can move with his heart was the same.

There was a limit to the size of the heart.

I could not break that limit as long as I was human.

“That can’t be anyone’s exception. No matter how strong the prosecutor is, no matter how hard he tries. The reason is simple: you were born human. The human body, precisely the biological capacity of the human heart, cannot be exceeded. That’s why dragons with dragonhearts are so deceitful. ”

“That’s ……. ”

“Shh. Listen more. So you thought. What if you were to pull Mana from the outside, not inside your body? What if Manahart could see the Mana absorbed from the outside environment? Then we can temporarily push ourselves beyond the limits of biology and deal with Mana. ”

Lloyd grins.

Javier still has a calm look on his face.

However, he did not miss the faint earthquake in the pupil.

“Since then, you’ve been secretly studying new managing Mana. Not long ago, I even gave him a name. That was about a month ago, wasn’t it? Is that right?”

“… That’s right. ”

“Why are you so soft on me? ”

“You weren’t wrong enough to get a toe. ”

“Right? Let’s get the story back to square one. ”

This is what I want to talk about.

“You left that hot heart behind, didn’t you? Are you trying to teach me how to perform a normal routine where dogs and cows all learn to clean their mouths? Are you a kindergarten master of swordsmanship? Did you try to sell me a bun that doesn’t have a kidney? ”

“But, Lloyd, ”

I said, “I know. It’s in your nature. You don’t teach people. By the way, am I” anyone “to you? ”

“Yes.”

“Phew.”

“Technically, Lloyd is just my escort. Plus”

“Besides?”

“If I want to teach Lloyd my cardinal skills right now, that’s impossible. ”

“Why?”

“Because it’s unfinished. ”

Xaviel’s voice becomes decisive as a knife.

“Lloyd was right about my concept of the judiciary. The key is to absorb external Mana and use it as your own. But it’s also a way that no one has succeeded yet. Even I’ve made a theory, and I haven’t actually succeeded yet. ”

“So?”

“Dangerous. Especially if you’re a novice like Lloyd and don’t know Mana’s basics.” ”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Are you worried about me? ”

“Of course not. ”

“Tsk. Pumpkin. ”

“Thank you.”

“Anyway, can’t you tell me it’s dangerous because it’s not finished yet? ”

“That’s right.”

“What if it doesn’t get dangerous? ”

“…… Yes? ”

Xaviel’s eyebrows twitch slightly.

Lloyd grins.

You must be anxious about what else this side has to say.

“Let’s see why your judgments are incomplete and where they’re blocked. ”

“What do you mean…. ”

“Absorb Mana from the outside. Bring him to Manahart and fuse him with his original Mana. But I can’t. It’s always jammed in there. Reject attempts to fuse. Crash. That’s why it failed. Right?”

Xaviel’s eyes shake.

“How do you do that? ”

“Not really. I told you. I heard it all in my sleep. ”

“ ……. ”

A lie that I’ve been listening in my sleep.

In front of the magical excuse like the invincible Cheetki, Xaviel’s mouth is shut.

Lloyd’s smile grew darker.

‘You have nothing to say. The guy who sleeps so hard, he doesn’t even know what his sleeping habits are. ’

Suddenly, I remembered the contents of the article in Iron Blood.

In this period, Xaviel was actually unable to complete the trial due to that conflict.

I tried many but failed many times.

‘Finally, five years later, when I changed my mind and completed the cardinal law. ’

After that, Xaviel sharpens the finished cardio.

It will finally be the first Grand Master in the history of the continent.

And Javier’s transition of ideas is in five years.

That’s what Lloyd said.

“It seems to me that the attempt to mix external Mana with his Mana was a mistake, no, a mistake. ”

“Yes?”

Xaviel’s eyebrows twitch and move.

“What do you mean? ”

“Literally. Why do you have to stick the external Mana inside Manahart? Manahart’s dose limit is killing him. Besides, why would you want to mix external mana with your mana? Isn’t that a stereotype tied to the way Manahart operates? ”

“That means……. ”

“You can spin it from the outside. Outside Manahart.”

“ ……. ”

Xaviel’s eyes gradually grew in awe.

You’d already realize that by now.

Lloyd picks up a branch that was rolling around the corner from the training ground.

I drew a picture of Zec on the ground with a branch.

“What if it absorbs the external Mana? I’m asking you to rotate it like this. Heart, Manahart on the outside. ”

“You want me to make a loop circle around your heart? ”

“Yes, Circle. Sounds like a good name.”

“Then Manawa’s body… ”

“You don’t have to mix it up. It’s a separate operation. My Mana is inside Manahart. The foreign Mana absorbed from the outside is rotated in a circle on the outside of Manahart. What do you think?”

“ ……. ”

“I just said what comes to mind? You know, I’m a beginner in managing Mana. Maybe that’s why you’re not obsessed with stereotypes. ”

“ ……. ”

“If in doubt, try it yourself. ”

“I understand.”

Xaviel nods straightaway.

It seemed like I had a hunch.

Since then, Lloyd hasn’t opened his mouth.

I just took a few steps back quietly.

I watched Xaviel quietly test a new cardinal law.

How long has it been?

Finally, Xaviel opens his eyes.

I looked back this way with meaningful eyes.

“Thank you.”

Ding-dong.

[Xaviel Asrahan’s affection for you has increased by +5.]

[Current relationship with Xaviel Asrahan: 22]

[Visible relationship improvement with key people earned 90 RP.]

[Current RP: 187]

[The intimacy phase with Xaviel Asrahan went up from to.]

[Received an extra 5 RP as a bonus for Amity level up.]

[Current RP: 192]

‘You did it.’

Xaviel’s gratitude.

A slightly different look.

And Lloyd could be sure as he saw the message of liking that came to his mind.

Xaviel had finally completed the heart of Asran.

“Good for you? ”

“Yes, Lloyd. ”

“How’s the circle coming along? ”

“Yes. One of them seems inefficient in managing Manat, so I made several. ”

“How many? ”

“There are three. ”

“Phew.”

Triple Circle right after your first success.

Xaviel was the same man.

‘Then you’re almost at the edge of the Sawmaster’s gaze. ’

Xaviel’s current title is Sword Express.

There’s still a big gap between us and the Master of the Sword.

‘But we’ve created triple circles outside Manahart, so we’ll have to take the fight to the maverick Swordmaster seriously. If we’re lucky, we might be able to target a draw. ’

Extra power beyond the current stage.

That was the strength of Asran’s core code.

‘It’s because I put extra Mana from the outside in my original managing ability. One auxiliary engine per circle. ’

What about Xaviel in the Original Blood Knight?

You have completed the Aslahan cardinal in the master state.

Immediately, I achieved a total of four quadratic circles.

That has given me overwhelming skills throughout the entire world of the sovereign master.

‘Even after that, he climbed the Grand Master and mounted five penta circles. In the finals, I became the holder of the Hexa Circle, six times beyond that. ’

In the novel, the amount of Mana that Xaviel operated at once surpassed that of Dragonheart.

Now, he witnessed the completion of the Asran Law, which was the beginning of the legend, five years earlier than the original.

But Lloyd shakes his head.

Now is not the time to get wet with the feeling of not making a penny.

It was time to grasp the gain that came into his hands.

He asked Xaviel in a strange way.

“So thank you? ”

“Yes, Lloyd. ”

“Now you have a reason to teach me. ”

“Yes?”

“Asran Deep Law. ”

“ ……. ”

“Huh, look at this? Are you trying to get by with a thank-you note? ”

“But, Lloyd, ”

“Yes. Make an excuse. ”

“I think the basics of basic Mana craftsmanship are more important. ”

“Yes. So? ”

“So why don’t you learn the basics first and then learn my cardinal arts separately. ”

“Yes. No. ”

Of course not.

Especially if we have to fight Lord Neumann’s duel right after the full moon.

“Think about it from my point of view. No matter how hard you master the basic Mana technique, how am I supposed to use it in a full-time duel? ”

“I don’t think so. ”

“So? You just want me to lose the duel? ”

“ ……. ”

“Yes, I know what you’re thinking. You’re asking me to look longer than a trivial defeat right now. It’s a benefit to have a solid foundation. You’re right, by the way. I don’t think that’s right for me. ”

“Why?”

“This duel, it’s just as important. ”

It is true.

Lord Neumann has already betrayed the realm through the back hole.

If we don’t trample him down as a beekeeper, it will be permanent to correct the strength of the territory.

Improving the quality of the territory that needs to be planted with straws for the rest of its life has been the same from the beginning.

“So I’m going to win. I’m sure you’ll learn the art of Asran. ”

“But what if I refuse? ”

“Oh-ho? You’re going to be tough? Then I have a way. ”

Lloyd grins.

I took out my own special card.

“If you don’t teach me the cardinal law, I’m going to stop sleeping beauty service. ”

“ ……. ”

“Well, why? Why are you looking at me like I’m shitting my face? Am I a slut?”

“A little.”

“There’s no such thing as free. If you’re unfair, tell me the law. ”

“ ……. ”

Xaviel’s face is tormented.

Lloyd’s mouth twitched.

‘You’ll never refuse. Because you already know the taste of honey sleep. ’

In the last few days, Xaviel has been enjoying a deep sleep without ever before.

This was thanks to the recitation of the majors in memory.

but the service (?) was cut off in a heartbeat.

My heart must have been in a good place.

‘That’s how human psychology works. It’s worse if it’s taken from me. ’

Everyone does.

Once you taste convenience, you can hardly live without it.

‘Smartphones, you can’t use feature phones because they are frustrating. Robot cleaners, tall insoles, selfie apps, delivery apps, elevators. It’s stuffy and uncomfortable and empty if you don’t use it. ’

That’s exactly what happened to Xaviel.

I’ve been sleepy for years.

Then, thanks to this side, I learned the taste of a happy honeysuckle.

A body that can no longer return to its former state (?).

As expected, Xaviel nods.

“Phew, got it. ”

“Understood, what? ”

“Asran, let me teach you. ”

“That’s a good decision. ”

Lloyd clenches his fist.

So I made sure of that, right? Every single one of your swords will be mine. ’

Asran Deep Law.

Now all I have to do is work hard.

♣

Time flies by.

The training continued.

Foundation health became stronger.

I was even more obsessed with Asran.

On the other hand, Lloyd also commissioned a special weapon for the forge.

“Real steel. The design is like this drawing here. ”

“Master Lloyd? This one?”

“I drew this drawing myself because it’s my weapon. Strange? ”

“That’s not it. But how can this be a weapon……. ”

“Done. Can you make it? ”

“Yep. ”

“Then take good care of her. ”

The blacksmith was overwhelmed by the drawings that Lloyd gave him.

I looked at the drawings and looked around, but this wasn’t a weapon.

But I couldn’t help it.

He was the son of the Lord and was widely regarded as a ruin.

The blacksmith didn’t have the courage to dispense with his quest.

So many more days have passed.

The morning of the duel at last.

“Master Lloyd. The item you requested from the blacksmith has arrived. ”

The weapon requested for crafting has been delivered to the mansion.

Hearing his servant’s voice, Lloyd grips his fist as he spreads it.

Asran Deep Law.

And your own weapon.

This prepares us for anything.

‘Sir Neumann, you’ve been searched. ’

Lloyd’s eyes widen.

Finally, the time has come to cut off the rotten sprouts.
