Chapter 91
91. Skywalker’s Bridge (1)
“It’s important. I’ll leave it to you. ”
“Huh?”
Julian’s eyes widen.
I can’t believe you’re letting me do this.
Is that for real?
No, that’s not it.
Is this Lloyd Frontera? ’
I didn’t even know I could hear that from my brother in my life.
No, if he had heard that this would happen in a dream, he would have laughed at the prophecy.
But it happened.
Just now, in front of his eyes, it was undeniably clear.
‘I can’t believe I let you do this. ’
I looked at the shovel in both hands.
I was a little dazed.
Somehow, I wasn’t in a bad mood.
Suddenly, Julian came up with an important fact.
That is…….
“Hey, how do I shovel? ”
“How come? You’ve never shoveled before? ”
“Uh-huh. ”
You nod.
I’ve never really done it.
But I thought I could take on such an important task.
‘You’ll be disappointed. I’ll ignore it with Pinzan. ’
I was prepared for that.
And again.
“Tsk. I can’t help it. Give it to me.”
Lloyd reaches out.
Of course it is.
Julian hands over the shovel, disappointed.
But Lloyd, who had given him the shovel, did not look down on himself or give him a pinjab.
Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and loosened his cape, cape, and shoulders.
“Show it only once. Watch this.”
“Huh? Huh? ”
“Look at the demonstration. ”
I didn’t even wait for this answer.
Lloyd is posturing in front of a mountain of dirt.
Lower body and lower back posture.
I turned my left hand to the sky.
“Watch your left hand. This is how we catch it. You have to think of it as chopping and shoveling, not stabbing with a shovel. See?”
“Oh, yeah. ”
“From this state to the rear left like this, like this! ”
Papa Pa Pa!
A shovel of dirt draws a smooth trajectory. You return to the dirt heap like a shot. I take it again. I scatter it with dirt. I moved it. I plucked it like a spray. Stacked.
“Do you understand?”
Boom.
Somehow, Lloyd holds a shovel like a cane. The smile on this side is like that of an experienced craftsman.
Julian had to nod without even knowing it.
“Uh-huh. ”
“Good. Now we do what we just saw. ”
“Yes.”
“Instead, open your lower back only once when the cart is full. Okay?”
“Why is that? ”
“It’s my style. ”
“ ……. ”
“Well, work hard. The speed at which the droplets make the wire depends on how fast you cut the shovel. Now I’m gonna go check out the crime scene. ”
Lloyd sticks out his shovel.
I got screwed.
There was warm body temperature left in the shovel and handle.
As soon as the temperature reached the palm of my hand, I suddenly wondered:
I told you I’m not good with shovels.
Why didn’t he laugh or ignore it?
Rather, do they teach you this hard?
And…….
“Hey, bro. ”
“Why.”
“I need to ask you something. ”
I raised my head.
I kept my curiosity in my mouth the whole time.
“Where did you learn all this? ”
I wondered.
It was strange.
I wanted to ask him what his brother had been going through.
‘Cause I feel like I’m somebody else. ’
His brother, Lloyd Frontera, standing in front of him.
But it was so different from the Lloyd he knew.
I didn’t drink.
He was kind to himself.
That alone made my whole body stand out.
“I’m curious. I didn’t know you’d do this shovel before. ”
“I did.”
“So is summoning magic. Those summoners, you said they were summoned by my brother. ”
“Yes, I did. ”
“And Lord Asran said so. Dude, we got Manahart. ”
“Oh, right. ”
“What the hell happened to you while I was at the Academy? ”
Something must have happened.
He couldn’t have done it without it.
But Lloyd’s reaction was strange again.
“I have my reasons. I’ll tell you about that next time. ”
“When?”
“When ready. ”
“ ……. ”
Lonely smiling Lloyd.
Lloyd’s eyes seem to have a story.
It felt strange and strange, I can’t tell you.
That’s why I couldn’t find out any more.
I’ll tell you when it’s time.
On the other hand, I thought about it.
Eventually, Julian nods.
Thanks to this, Lloyd swept his chest secretly.
‘Phew, it worked. ’
Success in exploring the atmosphere.
With such a subtle atmosphere, Lloyd quickly left, deceiving Julian. He said it was urgent to look around the scene.
Julian picks up his shovel.
“Phew.”
The shovel was heavy the first time I heard it.
But I was determined to do well.
I heard my brother say that he believed in himself like I did.
To be honest, I was a little curious, but I wasn’t in a bad mood.
No, I was rather pleased.
I also thought about not disappointing him.
I grabbed the shovel and moved, thinking about the demonstration Lloyd showed me.
I shoveled a pile of dirt with a shovel.
But the results were so different from Lloyd’s demonstration.
Pic!
Shovel Head Picsari (?).
I couldn’t dig through the pile properly.
Rather, I slipped and reached the wrong path.
I missed the shovel on that chain.
“Oh!”
Ta-da! Ta-da!
A shovel that flies away and rolls around embarrassingly.
The droplet watching him slapped the floor with his chubby tail. Podong forgot to twist the calf with a wire and twisted his whole body.
“Bell, bell, bell! ”
“Podong! Podo-do-do-do! ”
Are you laughing?
“ ……. ”
Julian’s face runs red like apricot, running to pick up a shovel.
Little master’s suffering has only begun now.
♣
Construction began as well.
The yard had already been surveyed and designed.
The trusses and cables for the suspension bridge were also being prepared.
Lloyd immediately embarked on the construction of the Hyundai Bridge Tower.
The first process was the foundation construction.
Kieing!
Lloyd’s Triple Circle is spinning fiercely.
Two against three against three.
The other two circles rotated around the alpha circle at a ratio of 2: 3: 3.
A fierce collision was made with the ideal rotation rate.
At that moment, Lloyd sticks a shovel into the ground.
The power of the Triple Wave is evenly applied to the shovel.
Huuug, huuug, huuug!
Precisely where it was calculated.
With tremendous power.
A tremendous hole, two meters in diameter and 35 meters in depth, was drilled into the ground.
One a day.
Nine holes were drilled on either side of the river.
It was a hole in the ground floor that would support the Hyundai Bridge Tower.
A large amount of cement was poured into the hole.
The cement that is based on the volcanic ash of the droplets fills the hole, just as you made the man-made terrain in the trade city of Cremo. It hardens. It itself becomes a gigantic cement peg that stretches out towards the basement.
Just after finishing the foundation construction, the spring rains fell.
It was spring rains.
Over ten days of loading and unloading.
The level of the Magena River rose quickly.
At the site of the suspension bridge construction, some cracks occurred in the existing stone bridge, which was 100 meters downstream.
It was a sign of collapse in 61 years.
Lloyd laughs inside.
‘I’m just helping this place to the sky. ’
An old bridge with signs of collapse.
The royal attitude changed.
Instead of repairing the damaged stone bridge, the royal family began to actively support the suspension bridge construction site here.
A large amount of investment was put on site for the suspension bridge construction.
Larger workforce than ever before was the foundation.
Technicians such as professional masons were of course.
The support of the Royal Wizards was simply gratitude.
‘Appreciation, overwhelming gratitude! ’
Supporting the construction of massive wizards.
Thanks to this, I was able to gain some crazy elasticity over time.
Design based on Lloyd’s microscopic measurements and data.
It combines royal funding with top-notch workforce support.
The result was hyperlight construction.
‘Crazy. This is really crazy. ’
Even Lloyd, who was in charge of the construction, put out his tongue.
The stone that makes up the main tower.
All you had to do was tell me the size of the cut.
If I taught them what the block looked like and what it did, professional craftsmen would stick. The wizards cling, too. They finish processing in no time.
It was the same with the pile up and up on the main tower.
It was originally a large block that had to be raised by maneuvering cranes or Podong. No matter how hard I tried, it was too big and heavy to lift ten pieces a day.
But as the wizards came in, the story changed.
They were not just wizards, they were royal wizards.
Shhhhhhh…!
The wizards’ magic is embedded in a large stone block.
I reduced the weight of the unbelievable block to one-fifth.
By itself, the construction speed changed completely.
“Pull! On your feet! ”
“One! Two! One!”
Every time dozens of attached crane levers turn, a large block suddenly rises.
The burden of Xaviel and Podong picking up the blocks above was also reduced.
Magically lift it up below.
I don’t have to worry about my back at the top.
The whole process turned into a flawless cog.
It was based on the rigorous design of Lloyd.
That’s how time passed.
The wind is warmer.
The crucible is blooming.
Cherry blossoms were blown by the wind.
Every morning it smells like roses.
Julian, who shovels, has a firm forearm.
And the day the first mammoth burst into tears.
On either side of the Magena river, a towering 90 metres high stood against each other.
The citizens of the royal province were cheering for it.
The old stone bridge was a place of anxiety.
I was afraid when it would collapse.
Every time I came across reluctantly, I was troubled.
However, the completion of the new bridge was approaching.
Moreover, the unique appearance of the suspension bridge has become of great interest to the citizens of the royal family.
“Hey, what the hell is he doing with that tall tower? ”
“Haven’t you heard? ”
“Yes? What? ”
“I heard there’s a line between the top of that tower. ”
“The rope? ”
“I hear you. Swish like a laundry line. ”
“What the……. ”
I tilted my head while talking to some citizens.
Others expressed expectations.
“Oh my God, did you hear that? Give me the laundry line.”
“A clothesline? Between those towers on either side of the river? ”
“Yes, the next door neighbor said, They say it becomes a bridge when you hang a clothesline. ”
“Oh, does that make sense? ”
“It’s true. They’re lining up for you this afternoon. ”
“Really?”
“Yes, really. I even reserved a spot to watch it. ”
“Oh, my God. Can I come with you? ”
“Of course.”
People were gathering by the river.
The Hyundai Bridge Tower was seated in every visible spot. I opened the lunchbox, and I was surprised.
After a while, he saw the reality of the cables moving under the tower.
“Well, what the…… is that. ”
“Oh my God, it’s so thick. ”
“A clothesline? That? ”
“I need to hear the laundry line. ”
“It’s thicker than a twisted old tree trunk, right? ”
“Besides, it’s not just a rope, it’s a lump of iron. ”
It was true.
The cables were all metal.
The 5 mm of wires pulled out by the droplet were woven together.
The 120 wires were tightly bundled together.
On the outer side, a chain covering was worn seamlessly on the chain mail.
It was literally too heavy and original to call it “just a laundry line.”
Thanks to this, I was reminded of the same questions and concerns in the minds of the citizens who saw the cable.
How do we get that thing from the top of the tower to the other side? ’I doubt it.
“Should a mighty giant come and throw it and take it? ’
Or should I get her to the boat? No, there are no sailboats in this river. I think the boat will sink if we move it to the middle of the boat. ’
Everyone was curious.
I was worried at the same time.
I wonder if I could float that big, heavy iron rope into the air and hang it like a laundry rope on top of both towers.
It seemed impossible, no matter how much I looked at it.
I thought I’d be in trouble if I tried.
Thousands of pairs of eyes focused on the top of the tower with worry and expectation.
At the top of the tower are Lloyd and the droplets.
“Bubbles, you know? ”
“Droplets!”
“Bite, bang, do it. ”
“Drop!”
The bubble, which is pre-magnified, nods a round head.
Then the cable comes up from under the tower.
It was a cable on a crane, enchanted by wizards’ lightning.
At the end of the cable, the chains are firmly intertwined.
Lloyd pulls the chain and places it on one side.
Then I picked up the bucket I had prepared.
The bucket is full of dirt.
“Now, bubble? Let’s eat something delicious. ”
“Droplets!”
The droplet opens its big mouth wide.
Lloyd plucks the bucket of dirt out of his mouth as if he was waiting.
And quickly retreated.
“Here, bubble. Just like I practiced.”
“Wow, bubble! ”
The droplet swallows the soil.
You twist the round head.
Lloyd bites the chain on one side.
Then I crouched.
Bummer!
Chemistry occurred in the belly of the droplet.
The fresh soil has rapidly dissipated.
“Phew! Phew! ”
Twinkle, twinkle!
I wag my fat tail.
A clear bell rings in everyone’s ears around the tower.
Next moment.
A fierce volcanic eruption erupts from the belly of the bubble.
Kuaaaaang!
Rough volcanic ash and gas.
The body of a blob that shoots out like a rocket with its repulsive force.
A chain that is biting vigorously in the meantime.
Cables that come together tightly connected to the chain.
“Hnng!”
Paaaahhhh…!
On that day, the citizens of the royal province were astonished and astonished to see the cable door droplets traverse the upper part of the river, like arrows on a rope.
