The Greatest Architect

79. Reputation Awakened (1)

“What did your father say? I told you not to do anything dangerous like that. ”

“… huh? ”

What the hell is going on here?

This isn’t the Baron Frontera.

It’s a room in the Earl’s mansion in Cremo, the trade town.

But…….

Why are the barons out here? ’

Lloyd raises his head in a state of embarrassment.

The barons are smiling and crying, looking this way.

I had no time to ask him any questions.

The baron’s hands grip both cheeks in a desperate and sinister manner.

“Let’s see. Are you hurt? ”

“Uh, well, I…. ”

“Tell me. Are you uncomfortable? ”

“I, uh, well, I don’t find that uncomfortable.”

“But?”

“It’s hard to breathe because you’re deflating your cheeks with both hands. ”

“…… Ah, ah. ”

Then the baron flinches and releases his hands.

Of course, I heard the cup from my wife.

“What if you get excited about a sick child first? What if you get hurt again? ”

“Well, I’m in a hurry…. Are you okay, by the way?”

“Oh, yes. It’s okay.”

Lloyd smiles bitterly.

The baroness is looking at her husband with worrying eyes. Dodge to get pinched by a wife like that and ask this person questions naturally (?).

It was good to see you two together.

On the other hand, I felt relieved to see the bad behavior of the two people.

‘Probably because he came here urgently, day and night. ’

They were the barons who always kept their clothes tidy.

But it’s different now.

The whole area of the clothing was stained by couples.

There were dirt marks all over the elbows and knees.

From Baron Frontera to Cremo here. At a glance, I could see how urgent the two of them had come.

Literally, as soon as they got to Cremo, they skipped even changing their clothes and rushed straight to the room.

“Were you contacted by the erl? ”

I asked what Lloyd thought.

The baron nods.

“Yes, that’s right. The Earl sent me a message. ”

“What have you contacted us about? ”

“He said you were dangerous. ”

“Hehe.”

“He also briefly told me about what you had done. That’s why.”

“We left that day. ”

The baron’s last words were followed by his wife.

The couple said exactly what they said.

About ten days ago, the couple were having a normal life.

As Lloyd instructed, we checked the completion of the On-Demand Construction and the management status of the water supply to the ordinance. On the other hand, I prayed for Lloyd’s safe return.

It was during the afternoon that an unexpected Jeonseo-gu flew in.

It was news like Qingcheon Wall power.

Lloyd says it’s serious.

The words before and after didn’t even come to my attention.

With Gigatitan attacking Cremo, Marni, with Lloyd bravely confronting such a Gigatitan, your son’s courage and sacrifice will be the work of everyone… blah…

None of that rhetoric mattered.

Lloyd is dangerous.

At the end of the letter is the enchanted seal of Earl Cremo.

Only two facts echoed in my mind and told me one truth.

Lloyd was really serious.

My heart sank.

There was no time to slow down.

I immediately put on a costume.

Wagon?

If he relied on such things, he could be caught in the snow and ice for winter because the wheels were rolled.

Escort?

If you take a lot of them, you’ll have more food to prepare and both start and move slowly.

So the couple rode by themselves.

Only one escort was accompanied by Lord Bavaria.

During the day I ran all day. He looked at the night as if it were day and rushed his feet, relying on torches and the moonlight. Even the horses who rode the widows and Lord Bavaria were exhausted.

But I didn’t know the couple were having a hard time.

I even rushed to save my sleep.

Dinner was also solved in horses and so on.

And so I arrived in Cremo, in the Gulf of Ahre.

When I arrived, I had no intention of tidying up my wardrobe. I ran to the Earl’s mansion with nothing more than a big shaved hair.

Then I could only hear it.

Lloyd opened his eyes while they were coming here to Cremo.

“So I don’t know how relieved I am. She pretended to be okay now, but your mom here almost fell off her leg. ”

“Oh my God, you too. ”

“What’s the matter? It’s true.”

“If you say it like that, the child feels burdened. ”

“ ……. ”

“There’s nothing you can’t say in front of a sick child. ”

“Hmph, Hmph. ”

“By the way, did you take care of your doll? ”

“Yes?”

What doll?

Lloyd tilts his head as he listens well to the couple coming all the way here. It was only after hearing the baroness’ words that I realized the identity of the doll she mentioned.

“The amulet this mother gave me when you left. ”

“Ah.”

I remembered.

The pink doll that would keep you from having nightmares if you hugged her every night.

Lloyd swallowed a dry saliva without even knowing it.

“That doll would be, um, at the inn. ”

“At the inn?”

“Yes.”

Lloyd replied quickly.

“I was staying at the inn before the commotion. ”

“Is that why you didn’t bring it here? ”

“Yes.”

“So you haven’t used it before? ”

“Of course… ”

Of course I do.

I thought I’d have nightmares about pink teddy bears if I slept with them.

Lloyd swallows the back horse.

I didn’t think there was anything good about it.

The baroness said with a mourning face.

“Well, I guess you didn’t like the doll. ”

“Well, to be honest, yeah, a little bit. ”

“Then I’ll make it bigger. ”

“…… Yes? ”

Excuse me? What do you mean?

Somehow, I had a strong feeling.

Such a feeling became unfortunate.

I was accompanied by a loving smile to leave the baroness with me.

“Maybe it’s because the doll was small and you didn’t like it even though I gave it to you as a charm. That’s why I’m talking. Bigger than ever, so I can make you more comfortable with a tight hug. ”

“ ……. ”

“Do you still not like it? Then maybe a Ribbon… ”

“No, I’m fine. Never.”

Lloyd shakes his head in a hurry.

I smiled bitterly.

To be honest, this interest and affection was burdensome.

But on the other hand, my nose became frowny without even knowing it.

The baroness forgets her usual dignity and formality and behaves like this. It was because I suddenly remembered my childhood in Korea when I saw them.

‘I also felt like this at that time. ’

When I was a child, my father was very busy.

It was hard to see his face because he was always dependent on work.

Sometimes I could only see him sleeping all day when he was spending time at home.

Every time I wanted to play with my father.

But I endured it.

I listened to my mom when she told me that my dad needed to rest.

But it was a day when I was seven years old.

I fell down while playing on the kid’s kickboard in front of the house. As I fell, I brushed my forehead against the floor. The chief helped me build an egg-like lump.

I went home crying.

The father who was sleeping on the holidays woke up in surprise.

He rushed me to the hospital.

On my way back from the hospital, I stopped by the ranch house.

I still can’t forget the taste of the money gas we ate together. The stories I shared with my father at the time, his worrying face and voice, are still alive.

I thought you only knew what you were doing.

It was a day when he felt how much he loved himself and loved his skin.

“Phew.”

Lloyd breathes out loud.

You tug at the end of your nose to make it squint.

Then he turned to the baroness.

“Thank you. So how big are you going to make that doll? ”

“About this much? ”

The baroness widens her arms with a wide smile.

Lloyd smiled when he saw it.

“Yes, that would be great. ”

“Isn’t that right?”

“Yes. So while you’re at it, can you make me another one? ”

“One more thing? ”

“Yes.”

“Are you going to sleep with two? ”

“No, that’s not it. ”

Lloyd shakes his head.

Then he pointed to Xaviel, who was standing next to the bed.

“I want you to take care of Lord Asran, who’s always trying to protect me. ”

Twitch!

Xaviel’s shoulders slightly trembled while looking at the family’s afterlife with a calm look. The baroness admired that “Oh my goodness gracious heart,” and her neck trembled greatly.

Lloyd’s smile becomes evil like a water ghost.

Joy alone.

Tragedy is shared.

Indeed, black history is less shameful when two people go through it together.

♣

A few more days passed.

In the meantime, Lloyd’s health has recovered differently every day.

The bruises that were full of the whole body healed quickly.

The muscles that had been torn by the heat were also revitalized.

Caring and caring for the barons.

And thanks to the influence of Triple Circle and Manahart.

The resilience itself was very different from before.

Even the physician who examined his body was about to stick out his tongue.

“You’re all better now. You can go hunting on horseback right now. ”

“I see. What about my heart? ”

“Jump normally. ”

A heart that seemed to have stopped when she was in a coma.

But now the beating heart is normal.

Lloyd briefly explains why to Xaviel.

The rest of the group was outrageous.

He also said he didn’t know why.

Thanks to him, all that matters about his heart remains a mystery to people. I don’t know the secret to catching Gigatitan, but I don’t know if I did the right thing. I fainted while fighting hard and woke up to the extent that the situation was like this.

Of course, I received a suspicious glance.

But what if I insist that I don’t know?

After laying down the slab a few times, everyone didn’t ask how they caught Gigatitan.

‘Of course they still think I got Gigatitan. It’s just that you don’t want to reveal the secret. That’s exactly what I want. ’

It was caused by Manacle anyway.

However, people other than Xaviel do not know the existence of Manacle.

Lloyd thought he didn’t have to tell me.

And I got out of bed.

The Earl steps out.

I moved to the city.

I went up to the stage prepared there.

I stood on the stage and watched the square unfolding before my eyes.

“Waaaahhhh!”

Thousands of people were gathered in the square.

An unbelievably stubborn crowd.

Native merchants, dock workers, sailors, fishermen, scholars, carpenters, even children. Everyone was born and lived in Cremo, a trading city.

They were cheering for the stage.

It wasn’t just that.

On both sides of the stage, a cheerful and majestic song was played with trumpets. On the rooftop of the building which was lined around the square, a piece of finely cut colored paper was scattered.

Lloyd’s breasts were naturally overwhelming.

‘Whew. I feel like I’m doing something. ’

Kim Su-ho used to only spill nosebleeds every day in the high school room in Korea.

I did not know that the day I was treated like this would come. On the other hand, I was a little overwhelmed and nervous, but I felt more proud than that.

A public founded on a whim.

Nevertheless, the public good.

Be treated appropriately.

Don’t forget to freshen up.

Lloyd resolved to look next to him.

Earl Cremo nods at the ledge.

It meant that the voice magnification spell was ready.

Lloyd grabs the orb on the platform.

I trimmed my voice.

“Hmmm, Hmmm. ”

The sound resonates sharply throughout the square, using a voice magnification spell. Thanks to this, the voices of the cheering citizens have calmed down a little.

It was waiting for this side of the conversation.

In the meantime, Lloyd pulls the note out of his sleeve. It was a written speech in advance for the Earl’s request to give a speech.

‘Well, that’s obvious. On the night of the disaster, sailors struggled to rescue the drowned. Guards, citizens, and veterans risking their lives to save those who were trapped in a collapsed building in the plaza are the real heroes. And lastly, all of Cremo’s citizens, who have come together to overcome the challenges of disaster, are real heroes, in a big way. ’

It was almost obvious for fifty years.

So Lloyd pondered.

Originally, my heart was shaken when I tried to finish my speech okay. Seeing a crowd as dense as clouds, my unwanted desires rose sharply.

And I chose.

I decided.

I bite my molar tightly.

I brought the Enlargement Magic Orb to the entrance with my heart.

“You may not know it, but there are Ondol in this world. ”

His calm voice spreads to the corners of the square.

People tilt their heads.

Ondol.

I don’t know what that means.

Lloyd’s speech followed.

“Warms the whole floor like a sweet potato. It’s nothing compared to a fireplace. You don’t need to cough because your eyes are too spicy or because of the smoke. You don’t even have to sit in front of a fireplace all night, one by one, worrying about the fire. ”

I didn’t know what I was talking about.

But it was a curiously attractive story.

The square became quieter.

People gasp and open their ears.

With people’s cochlear tubes open like that, fraudulent comments without Lloyd’s saliva soaked in.

“Yes. That’s what I’m building for you. Today is the day, so I’ll leave you with just that. If you have any further questions, please contact the Baron Frontera in the east of Cremo. We will always be happy to answer any questions you may have. Goodbye. Thank you. ”

Don’t exaggerate.

Just curious enough.

So that the Onston Construction spell will swarm in the future.

Lloyd bows his head after finishing the speech, no, the Onstone commercial.

I quickly got off the stage.

Citizens still frowning.

And an Earl with a false sense of humor.

The iron plate was placed in front of the reaction of all of them.

Rather, I approached Earl Cremo and greeted him casually.

“Thank you for creating a place like this before you left the city. ”

The erl smiles without a word.

He had heard of Ondol’s existence through the information network recently. But I don’t think he’s the one who advertised the Ondol in this speech.

‘This is more desirable company. ’

Bold is not mediocre.

Right when right.

Be bolder when you dare.

He seemed like a man who could push his own gain and hit it off properly.

‘Moreover, it actually carries capacity. ’

We still don’t know how we caught Gigatitan.

However, there was a confirmed fact.

Only the ability to carry out the construction was outweighed by any builder he had seen.

‘Cause that’s what the naval man-made foundation says on the Gigatitan raid. ’

The Earl’s gaze was towards the sea in front of the harbor.

I caught a glimpse of the Artificial Humans left there.

A statue of a mermaid that was completely destroyed in a raid by Gigatitan.

After the commotion, the ground made of steel and cement was only slightly crushed on one side, and it was almost fine. It was okay to set up a new statue immediately.

‘Obviously, he’s not a rotten soul in the countryside. ’

The Earl’s gaze on Lloyd flashes behind his back.

The Earl’s gaze lingers until Lloyd’s party leaves the city.

“Goodbye, please. See you next time. ”

The Earl, who personally escorted Lloyd’s party, immediately turns to the mansion.

And that evening.

Earl Cremo’s report detailing Lloyd Frontera’s abilities and accomplishments flew into the capital city and into the western hemisphere.
