Chapter 315. Sword Master Syndrome (3)
Sword Master Syndrome.
A huge challenge faced by a swordsman who has trained his sword.
The last ordeal that blocks the front right before ascending to the highest level.
Since the beginning of the history of the Laurasia continent.
Many have suffered from Sword Master Syndrome.
A famous human chivalry.
Even violent orc warriors.
Even the brave mermaid warrior.
A cold-hearted elven archer.
Regardless of the race, Mana Heart had to suffer from the Sword Master Syndrome the moment he reached the advanced level of Expert.
And in the long history, only about 300 people overcame the ordeal.
‘Whoa. That’s why there are so many people who couldn’t overcome this and fell out. How much would it be in terms of numbers? As a rule of thumb, tens of thousands of people will easily pass.’
Lloyd, who was sitting on the sofa, let out a deep sigh.
At that moment, I was startled by the sensation I felt in my nostrils.
I felt the wind passing through my nostrils so clearly.
The hair in the nostrils swaying in that chain was clearly imprinted.
I had to shrug my shoulders involuntarily at the strange sensation.
‘Oh, this guy’s syndrome is real!’
It has been three days since I suffered from Sword Master Syndrome.
But the inability to adapt was still there.
No, I was very worried about whether I would be able to adapt in the future.
It was with the dark circles engraved around the eyes before I knew it.
‘I’m sleepy.’
But I can’t sleep at all.
The room was too noisy.
No matter how quiet the surroundings were, it was of no use.
Even with the windows closed, the sound of the wind outside could be heard like a typhoon.
Even if you put your head on the blanket and press your ears with pillows, it was no use.
At such times, the pulse in the blood vessels passing near the eardrum could be heard booming like the drums of a battlefield!
‘Thanks to you, I won properly against insomnia. I’m going crazy with this.’
The more I thought about it, the more I sighed.
But then, Xaviel’s voice sounded like thunder.
“You can’t be distracted. Concentrate.”
“…Oh man, that’s a surprise.”
“Do you still hear my voice that loud?”
“of course. If you want to talk, can’t you give a signal first and open your mouth?”
“It’s not possible.”
“why.”
“That’s why you won’t be able to train or adapt.”
“Tsk. So, you want me to sit on the sofa and close my eyes for half a day like this?”
“You are practicing maintaining that calm state.”
“If this happens, what will be different?”
“Throw yourself into the stillness. Face the pointed end of your overly sharp senses. Concentrate on where that sharpness is headed. Hug, embrace and accept. Only then will you be able to let go of true stillness inside.”
“Yes, I understand, Monk Xaviel.”
“…What is a monk?”
“What I heard the last time I went to Seoul.”
“What did you hear?”
“There are people called monks in that world. I went to the bathroom by that lock railing and overheard what other people were saying.”
“So you’re saying I’m like monks?”
“uh. It sounds like you’re just talking nonsense.”
“….”
“So I don’t know what you are talking about. The pointy tip of the senses? What kind of vampire is the sound of forgetting while doing one-shots, what the hell is that.”
“If you listen inwardly, you will feel it.”
“I’m still paying close attention.”
“It doesn’t look like much to me.”
“I am working hard.”
“It is still not enough.”
“evil! evil! shit!”
“Quench your inner anger and regain your serenity. Take a deep breath.”
“…Whoa.”
“Right, not good.”
“…hey.”
“Concentrate.”
“….”
The more I thought about it, the more I was going crazy and jumping.
But it didn’t matter.
Because Xaviel is an experienced person.
Because he is a living witness who has already successfully overcome the Sword Master Syndrome.
I had faith that it would tell me a little more efficient way.
Holding on to that trust, I followed his guidance.
From that day on, all over the next few days.
The construction site was temporarily entrusted to Lord Bavaria.
Then, sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, he repeated meditation similar to Zen meditation.
It was a time to take a closer look at his sharpened senses.
Indeed, the effect was not small.
‘Oh oh oh. do.’
After about two days, the sound of Xaviel’s words was as low as the sound of a desk knocking from thunder.
The sensation I felt in my esophagus every time I swallowed.
The feeling of fluttering hairs in my nostrils, which had invaded me every time I took a breath, had also decreased considerably.
‘He’s still brave, Xaviel.’
As expected, I realized that his teaching method was effective.
It was from then.
I meditated harder.
Three days passed, then six more days.
The fifteenth day since I finally started meditating.
Lloyd was able to reduce the rush of his senses to the extent that he could barely carry on with his daily life.
“Whoa.”
I took a deep breath.
I opened my eyes and looked around.
I felt a lot less dizzy than before.
Except for the time to eat, it felt worthwhile to meditate.
But there were still mountains to overcome.
“Then, has my insomnia gone now?”
“Don’t expect that.”
“…Is it like that?”
“yes. I couldn’t overcome my insomnia until I heard Lloyd-sama’s lullaby.”
“Then, how about doing it like this?”
Flashes while talking with Xaviel.
Lloyd felt an idea come to him.
‘Then I just need to listen to the lullaby!’
He immediately took out a paper and pen.
It reminded me of the memories of my high school days.
Some of the contents he studied and memorized at the time were scribbled on paper with one stroke.
It was the contents of the major.
‘So, if you say this and that and so and so and so and so and so and then blah blah…done.’
Take a moment to reminisce and wrestle.
He held out a piece of paper filled with the contents of his major to Xaviel.
“Hey read.”
“yes?”
“Please read this.”
“Could this be a lullaby for Lloyd-sama himself?”
“huh. can you read It’s not particularly complicated. There are difficult terms, so I avoided the parts that were difficult to read. Don’t stumble and just read lupus lupus.”
“….”
“Come on.”
Lloyd lay flat on the bed.
I took a comfortable posture and covered myself with a blanket.
And with eyes full of anticipation, he urged Xaviel.
I can sleep now.
The person who came up with this method is a genius.
I congratulated myself in my heart and looked forward to the sweet sleep that I would greet after 15 days.
Before long, the reading of Xaviel’s lullaby began.
“Whoa. All right. Well then…The limit state design method is an attempt to deal with the stability of a structure probabilistically by considering the load action and material strength fluctuation. …Mijoo Algojual…It is based on the mechanical behavior of materials…chatter chatter…It is regarded as being expressed as it is in the completed structural system.”
“good. continue.”
The corners of Lloyd’s lips caught in his ears.
Fortunately, Xaviel was reciting a lullaby without stuttering too much.
Thanks to him, he expected more.
I closed my eyes.
Reminiscing about memories of my college days.
Overlaying Xaviel’s lullaby with the professor’s boring voice as if dubbing it.
I tried to open the door of the honey sleep wide open.
“However, no matter how careful you are in controlling the quality of your materials, the suggested values at the time of design…This and that and this and that…Even in the application of load, the load given in the specification is…I’m going to go to the middle of the day…The stability of the structure will be properly evaluated by considering it probabilistically.”
“Yeah more. continue.”
let’s fall asleep
please go to sleep
I can do it!
you will be able to fall asleep!
So keep going!
Lloyd’s eyebrows trembled.
I tried to listen to Xaviel’s voice more boringly.
“In general, when designing a structure, the allowable stress design method using the safety factor concept has a small working load…Umm…If sagging or cracks are not a problem…note…The development of structural analysis and design capabilities and…growl…High-strength rebar and…puyuu…material…swiftly….”
“hey?”
Xaviel’s reading faded in an instant.
In the meantime, the sound of quick breathing is heard.
Lloyd opened his eyes in embarrassment.
thanks i was able to find it
“…Are you sleeping?”
“Growl.”
“Are you sleeping?”
“Puyuu.”
“hey. hey? teacher?”
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
“….”
Please let me eat this.
So I read the major book.
This situation where Ji fell asleep while reading.
How can I accept it so that there are fewer tears?
‘Ugh. But I can’t read this myself.’
Eventually, Lloyd gave up on overcoming insomnia.
I’ve gotten used to the other senses to some extent.
So I was barely able to do my daily life and supervise the field.
There was no way to overcome insomnia.
Besides, it was impossible to leave the scene as it is.
‘Well, it’s the experience of not being able to sleep. It’s not the first time.’
Suddenly, I remembered the days when I was living in a gosiwon in Korea.
In particular, it reminded me of the days before taking a leave of absence.
It was the hardest time physically and mentally.
I had to go to part-time jobs to live alone in a state where I couldn’t even collect my heart after paying for my parents’ funeral.
I have to go to school too.
I also had to handle the pouring assignments.
To do it all, even two bodies were not enough.
But neither could be neglected.
clung harder
But that didn’t work out.
Was it because of the heartache of losing your parents?
Or was it because the last appearance of my parents kept flashing in my eyes?
I couldn’t sleep.
When I closed my eyes, I saw nothing.
I even felt like I was suffocating.
That’s how I moved around without being able to sleep properly every day.
It was a day when I had to endure to the end even though my nose was bleeding from time to time due to the accumulated trauma and stress from lack of sleep and fatigue.
‘At least it’s better than then. I feel comfortable. Eat nutritiously and eat well. There are people who do laundry and other miscellaneous cleaning.’
It’s different from when I barely ate only kimchi with bare rice.
Maids do laundry and clean up.
There are also those who feel like family.
This isn’t just comfortable, it’s heaven.
I suffered from insomnia thinking so.
went out to the scene
From then on, I covered the sun and dust on the field every day.
Dam construction was not an easy task.
‘So keep it as simple as possible. Only faithful to the original function of the dam. Except for all the complicated features. Even if you are ignorant, you must be strong.’
tried to build
The first process was to change the flow of water, that is, to turn the direction of the existing river to dry the place where the dam was to be built.
‘of course. You can’t build a dam while the water is flowing. Even if you restore the waterway to the direction where the dam is located later, you have to turn the waterway in the other direction for now. Only then will the construction itself be possible.’
So they dug a waterway.
It was to dig a waterway to divert the river that originally flowed.
And temporary flood control dams were built upstream and downstream of the main dam.
The upstream flood control dam blocked the water flowing to the main dam.
In addition, it allowed the river water to flow efficiently into Yeosu.
What about the downstream flood control dam?
It played the role of preventing the main dam construction site from being submerged due to the reverse flow of the river flowing through the Yeosu-ro to another route.
As such, Yeosu Road was dug as wide and deep as possible.
The upstream and downstream flood control dams were built firmly in the form of pile dams raised by the rip-rap method of piling up soil and stacking rocks.
All of them were of the same standard that Lloyd had designed in advance.
Then, the place to build the main dam became dry.
Finally, preparations for the actual construction were completed.
“…You’re not thinking of taking a break, are you? Come on, everyone, let’s work!”
Lloyd further encouraged the working group.
Strict adherence to work shift hours.
while strictly adhering to safety standards.
He didn’t give the work team a chance to be idle.
The reason was simple.
‘That’s why the construction is finished quickly! You’ll suffer less from insomnia!’
I can’t sleep properly every day.
I can’t see you working crew sucking honey while working.
So you have to work hard to get it to work.
It must be driven hard and finished accurately and quickly.
Only then can the Jewel of Truth be activated.
You can check if the solution to stop the restoration of fate requires RP.
‘So if it’s a way that doesn’t require RP, I’ll go up to the sword master by collecting RP then pouring it all out.’
Then you will be completely free from insomnia.
With a ray of hope (?), Lloyd encouraged the work group more fiercely.
As a result, construction progressed smoothly.
The foundations of the main dam core were laid out.
It was a place to support a heavy dam.
All exposed soil and alluvial soil were removed by skimming.
Numerous slanted holes were made by blasting in the exposed bedrock.
Cement was poured into the hole.
As such, the grout construction was completed as if coating with cement in the place where water would be pooled by the dam.
‘It’s kind of like a giant cement washbasin.’
In this way, the dam will be strong and last a long time.
It is not the end just by building a dam and confining water.
As such, after the foundation construction was completed, the main dam was raised.
The role model for the main dam was Spain’s TV Dam.
Just like TV Dam did.
Hard limestone, which was generously secured, was piled thickly.
The interior was filled with natural stone and injected with cement.
For the outer surface, the stones cut according to the standard were aligned and the gaps between them were minimized.
All of the overall shapes form a stable arch with the principle of ‘wedge’ and ‘seam’.
At the same time, Lloyd also proceeded with the construction of the Jewel of Truth.
‘of course. Because when there is no water in the dam, this has to be built in one queue.’
That way, you can carry out the smooth and comfortable construction.
Fortunately, constructing the baeok was relatively easier than the dam.
‘It’s really fortunate that the design drawings are detailed.’
A blueprint for a gem you obtained earlier.
kept it as is
The foundation was laid in the spot where it was marked.
The statue he found in the mermaid kingdom was also inserted into a wild shell.
A pyramid resembling a general’s gun was built on the foundation.
The core materials found so far were laid and put in place.
‘good. Let’s keep it like this. Just like this!’
The whole process went extremely smoothly.
There were no minor accidents.
There were no construction difficulties whatsoever.
How nice it would be if everything went smoothly like this.
I was about to hum at the thought of it.
Like one month, two months, three months….
Finally one day after 6 months.
So, in the morning, the final construction work was started to complete the dam and the Jewel of Truth.
Whoaaah-!
Suddenly, a dazzling light of dawn enveloped the scene.
In the light of day, an unexpected presence descended on the scene.
A ring of brilliant light placed above his head.
Two rings of flame wrapped around the body.
With the mace of condemnation hanging down in one hand.
In the other hand, a celestial being firmly holding the order to demolish the illegal building.
It was Raphael, the 3rd-class left-handed angel who was the director of the Summer Inspection Bureau.
