Chapter 92. Legs that
walk through the sky (2)
Kwaaaang-!
The Volcano Explosion skill exploded.
The magma created in the bubble’s stomach was crushed.
It turned into millions of pieces of dust and erupted violently.
The body of the 5-meter-tall chubby bubble was rapidly pushed away.
Throwing Chemistry!
The bell leaped.
It flew up from the main tower on the west side of the suspension bridge.
In an instant, he crossed the Mazena River in an instant.
In the mouth of such a bell, a thick chain was tightly bitten.
And a cable was attached to the chain.
Wow!
A plump arrow with a rope.
No, the bell that bit the chain flew away.
Led by the bell, a long cable drew a clear line over the 238-meter-wide Mazena River.
And rushed towards the top of the main tower in the east.
A natural (?) cushion was waiting there to catch the bell.
“Ppodong! Podo-dong!”
A 10-meter-tall boy stood on his own two feet.
He spread his arms wide and held out his plump belly.
I was holding my breath completely wildly.
Before long, a bell flew in and collided with it.
Tuoong!
Bell’s round head was buried in Pudongi’s belly like an arrow.
However, Pudongi’s belly was protected by several layers of structure.
The cotton-like fur absorbed the force of the first collision.
The thick leather blocked the secondary damage.
The puffy belly dispersed the rest of the shock.
Little Boy moved his arms.
I grabbed hold of it, wondering if the bell would bounce off.
Promising not to miss it, I hugged him and rolled over.
At the end, the black eyes of the two fantasy species met.
“Ppodong?”
“Bell!”
“Podo-dong?”
“Fuck!”
We confirmed each other’s openness.
Bright laughter bloomed in bashish.
Behind him, Xaviel moved quickly.
“Now!”
Lloyd’s voice came from the other side.
In the midst of that cry, I reached out and grabbed the chain.
It was a chain that the bell had bitten and crossed.
Get a card!
Chains and attached cables held out to keep them from falling.
I mobilized all the Mana Hearts and all three Mana Circles.
“Huh!”
Kudo deuk!
Podongi and Belle also came running.
Caught together.
held on and pulled
pulled and caught
The cable at the end of the chain was finally grasped.
At that moment, I turned around. carried over the shoulder walked advanced approached the goal.
There was a socket to connect the cable to the top of the pylon.
“Put it in!”
With Lloyd’s cry, the end of the cable was pushed into the socket.
Clap! Snuggle Geek!
The cables and sockets fit tightly together, as if they had been measured with a ruler.
Right after checking that, I turned the socket. locked up
Cables are securely fastened.
However, Xaviel was not relieved.
I quickly turned my head. I looked around the main tower on the west side across the river. I checked Lloyd’s appearance.
Only then could I see it.
“…success!”
Lloyd was waving his arms in this direction.
There was also a little gasping cry.
The cable over there seemed to be disconnected as well.
“Whoa.”
After completing the most dangerous and risky process, Xaviel let out a sigh of relief.
Lord Lloyd is also safe.
That’s it.
♣
After that, complex processes continued one after another.
I just hung up the main cable.
The second act of time and space unfolded under the increasingly hot sun.
The main cable was also connected to the rear of the main tower. It was anchored to each landward anchorage at the rear of the tower.
After that, suspensions made of chains were installed.
If the main cable hanging between the main towers is a clothesline, the suspension member is shaped like dozens of harp strings hanging vertically from the clothesline.
In the process, Podongi played a big role.
In conclusion, Podongi was a master of rope riding.
With its size of 10 meters, it rode well on the main cable.
It was basic to run like a flat ground on a wobbly cable.
Hanging around was also free.
Sometimes, I even rode a slide because of my chubby belly.
“Podo-dong!”
Every day, he freely roamed over the cable, hanging and fixing numerous suspension members on the cable.
After the suspension installation was completed, the biggest task remained.
It was just a matter of raising the deck of the bridge and connecting it.
To do that, Lloyd first floated the upper deck into the river.
“I’m so glad.”
“What are you happy about?”
Wells Cogidus, the dwarf craftsman, looked up at Lloyd.
A satisfied smile formed on Lloyd’s lips.
“The bridge deck I ordered. The truss structure was pulled out much stronger than I expected.”
“Let’s say that. who made it.”
“Of course, you are the best craftsman, Cogidus.”
“Fat flattery.”
Corgidus snorted.
“By the way, you cheeky human bastard. What are you thinking about now?”
“What are you thinking?”
“That one.”
Cogidus gestured towards the river with his chin.
There was a large raft floating on the river.
And on top of the raft was a part of the bridge deck, a huge steel truss structure.
Cogidus’ question continued.
“Didn’t you say you would connect that thing to the upper suspension today?”
“Yes, I did.”
“By the way, it’s nice to have it floating on the river, but how are you planning to lift it?”
“Ah, is that what you mean?”
After receiving the question, Lloyd smiled.
“There are ways. It’s a ‘jack up down’ temporary construction method, so I’m trying to apply it by applying it to suit the current situation.”
“Jack up down?”
“yes.”
“What is it?”
“Umm, to put it simply…Hey, just look at it.”
“what?”
Lloyd just grinned.
It was a bit embarrassing to try 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.
Of course, Cogidus’ mind became more complicated.
‘Jack up down or something. How are you going to lift that?’
I couldn’t understand.
It was because he knew the scale of the truss structure bridge deck he had produced better than anyone else.
‘Even with all the artisans under his command, it took four months to make six squares. It’s really heavy. Even the weight of one block alone is well over 100 tons.’
But how do you lift it from the raft to the height of the suspension?
It was the moment when the wrinkles around the father-in-law’s eyes deepened with doubt.
“Bogreureuk!”
Suddenly, in the middle of the river, a wild cry was heard.
It was right after that.
Shoot Aaaaaa!
“uh? The river water is sucked in!”
Like the cry of a bystander, the river suddenly stirred.
I thought it was swirling, but I shot it at a point and was sucked in.
It was as if a hole had appeared in the riverbed.
Soon Cogidus and the onlookers were witnessing it.
The overwhelming sight of water-drinking hippos swell under the raft!
“Hamang! Damn it!”
jump! Knock-up!
Hamang shouted loudly and drank the river water.
With each sip or two, Hamang’s body swelled like a balloon. grew endlessly.
10 meters 15 meters 20 meters….
Whoops!
The raft was placed on Hamangi’s back, which was getting bigger.
“Hamaman! Haman!”
Hamang’s body grew even more unstoppable.
The raft on his back was also lifted upwards.
50 meters 60 meters…Finally, at the moment Hamangi’s body grew to 70 meters, Lloyd sent a signal.
“Hey man, stop!”
“…What?”
“Can you stop drinking the river water for a second?”
“Hamaman? What?”
“I’ll give you another drink later!”
“Hamang!”
…That’s how Hamang stopped at 70 meters. Thanks to this, the bridge deck on his back was fixed at a height of 48 meters above the river.
The height was exactly the same as the point where the end of the suspension member installed earlier came down.
Lloyd shouted.
“Let’s go!”
I led the waiting workers and crossed over to the bridge deck.
Dozens of suspension strands were connected into pre-made sockets all over the top board.
When one block of the upper board was connected like that, the same process was repeated.
“Hamang!”
Hamangi, which had been getting smaller, grew bigger again and pushed the next block up.
Above, Lloyd and Harviel workers who were waiting connected the upper board and the suspension. The top plate and the top plate were also connected with the link type joint joint device ordered in advance. The hot sparks caused by the wizards replaced the welding process.
The connection work continued for several days.
Finally finished the connection of the last top plate.
Clap!
The moment when the last suspension member is inserted into the socket.
A clear message appeared before Lloyd’s eyes.
Ding dong.
[Suspension bridge construction in Magenta, the capital has been completed.]
[You have successfully completed the construction of the first large-scale suspension bridge in the history of the Laurasia continent.] [
This new type of bridge will be deeply loved by the citizens of the capital. In addition, it will be called ‘Loi Harvey Bridge’ after the constructor and his handsome knight.] [
‘Loi Harvey Bridge’ will become a new landmark in the royal capital Magenta.] [The
‘Loi Harvey Bridge’ will be established. Your name will be clearly engraved in the civil engineering history of the kingdom and the continent.]
[A large amount of RP is specially paid as a bonus for significant construction achievements.]
[850 RP has been acquired.]
[Currently owned RP: 3019 ]
‘Enough.’
A welcome message announcing an achievement.
An RP acquisition message full of joy whenever you listen to it.
Seeing this, Lloyd smiled brightly. I realized.
The lengthy suspension bridge construction was successfully completed.
Also he thought
Achievement RP is just the beginning.
The reward that is so thick that your stomach will burst is real from now on.
♣
“Jim Alicia Terrmina Magentano declares.”
cooong! Wow!
King Alicia’s quiet voice resounded majestically.
It wasn’t a megaphone magic to increase the voice.
She was a sword master.
He was able to use at least a skill that amplified his voice in all directions with mana.
A voice resounding like that.
With each word that fell, the 20 golems controlled by magic moved in perfect order.
10 each entered from the west and east sides of the Roi Harvey Bridge.
marched toward the center of the bridge.
cooong! Wow!
The bridge deck swayed with every heavy step.
However, the bridge did not collapse.
Rather, it was more flexible and durable.
Twenty golems gathered at the center of the bridge.
Even then, the ‘Roi Harvey Church’ boasted of its uncompromising appearance.
Wow!
Twenty golems stopped.
They lined up behind the king, who stood on the podium in the center of the bridge.
A hearty smile bloomed on King Alicia’s lips.
“I personally give Lloyd Frontera the title of ‘Masterpiece’ to Lloyd Frontera, who built such a strong and beautiful bridge.”
Wow-!
Hundreds of pure white doves adorned the sky.
Citizens gathered along the riverside cheered.
The old bridge was uneasy to them.
Every spring, I was worried that it would collapse in a flood.
Especially after cracks appeared in the spring of this year.
A bridge that must be used to cross a river.
I was anxious every time I crossed.
I was afraid that it would suddenly collapse without warning.
Even so, I had to eat and live, so I had no choice but to cross.
But now there is no need to worry.
Beautiful new suspension bridge.
The Royharvey Church was safe even for them to see.
Aside from the strange shape that seemed to hang on a clothesline, there were no piers hanging down into the river.
So I had faith that even if a fierce flood came, I would not be affected in any way.
It was the same now too.
As many as twenty golems marched and gathered in the center. Even so, the legs didn’t sag or sag in the slightest, let alone shake.
“Lloyd! Lloyd!”
Lloyd’s name was mixed with the cheers of the citizens.
The voice calling out his name grew louder and louder.
Finally, the citizens gathered in one voice shouted in unison.
It was a voice filled with the utmost respect and gratitude that citizens can express in honor of the person who built a safe new bridge for them ahead of the festival to celebrate the completion of the suspension bridge that will take place from now on.
Thanks to this, Lloyd’s shoulders had to tremble.
‘Whoa.’
Would you feel this way if you became a global Hallyu star?
A situation where your name resonates throughout the city.
It was unreal, but my heart thumped.
After that, various praises from the king continued.
Several rewards also continued like Vienna sausages.
He was paid a huge remuneration.
The amount was more than enough to pay off the baron’s debt.
In addition, a lifetime pension was given as a bonus.
‘done. it’s okay.’
Where in the world can there be more reward than money?
Throughout the completion ceremony, Lloyd clenched his fists.
It was the same even though the sweat was dripping from my clenched fists.
I was proud.
It was thrilling.
It’s already been a year and a half since I came here after living as Kim Soo-ho.
Pay off the debt you’ve been longing for all along.
It has finally become a reality.
‘If I go back to the Baron’s territory, I’ll just suck on honey and roll around for the rest of my life.’
I finally paid off all my debts.
Pensions in the country come out indiscriminately.
As a country aristocrat, there is no risk of getting caught up in grandiose treachery or anything like that.
There, you should enjoy the rest of your peaceful life like a bee.
Lloyd was in a happy mood.
So, there is only one remaining problem to be solved.
A promise made secretly when he brought Julien out of the academy a few months ago. Once that is realized, I can return to the baronial realm in peace.
Thinking so, Lloyd measured the timing.
He looked into the king’s eyes.
He quickly got down on one knee.
After the completion ceremony, he said to the king, who was coming down from the podium, in a deliberately grievous tone.
“Your Majesty, first of all, thank you for the kindness you gave me today. However, apart from that, there is something I, Lloyd Frontera, dare to offer to His Highness the King.”
“what?”
The king, who was about to leave the podium, stopped.
Her gaze slowly returns to this direction.
“It’s something I really want to ask Jim about. Something.”
done.
came over
Sensing that, Lloyd smiled under his bowed head.
He had just received the title of master craftsman.
It is also a situation that has won the king’s favor and trust.
So the time is right now.
“It’s no different. Extremely absurd, irrational, and despicable acts are continuously being committed at the Magenta University Academy, which Your Highness personally sponsors. I wonder if His Highness is aware of this situation.”
“…What are you saying? Absurdities that Jim doesn’t know are being committed at the academy?”
“It’s a pity, but it really is, Your Highness.”
Lloyd’s voice trembled.
Lips with a secretly meaningful smile.
The long awaited response finally came.
“Tell me a little bit more.”
It was from then.
The bastards who only believed in their family and installed them at the academy.
Academy officials who defended and covered it.
To smash them without any excuses.
Lloyd’s exhaustive narration, filled only with facts, began, like a tightly packed box of cod roe eggs.
