Chapter 214. His dream is salary Lupine (2)
sick.
It is unfair.
little bit more.
If only I had a few more days.
Then all the plans would have come true as planned.
– Alicia…Termina Magentano…that disgusting….
Warlock Targa recalled a resentful face.
King Alicia’s eyes flashed coldly.
The blade of the sword that pierced his throat as terrifyingly as those eyes.
That cold feeling was the last memory of my life.
His own head cut off with a single sword.
The dirty feeling of the moment my head floated in the air and then fell to the floor and rolled like a ball.
However, regardless of that feeling, the urgency of the last few seconds of having to activate the last trick.
I still couldn’t forget it.
Reluctantly.
I really can’t help it.
There is no real way other than this.
It was the same even now when he gave up his body that was on the verge of death and transferred his soul to this huge bone.
I was upset.
teeth trembled
So, I promised to persevere.
little bit more.
If only given a few more months.
Then all your revenge will come true as you wish.
– As long as my spirit settles….
A dragon’s bone kept in a luxurious treasury.
The gigantic skull moved slightly with dark resentment.

“You said you’ve never been in charge of garden design, right?”
“Yes, by chance.”
It’s a start again.
Lloyd thought with a smile.
Viscount Nord was drenched in a proud smile.
“It’s okay. There’s nothing to be ashamed of After all, you don’t have a long career yet. Rather, wouldn’t this be an opportunity to have a good experience?”
“It is a natural statement. I only believe in the Viscount.”
“Heh heh is that so? Does it feel like you’re leaving the job to me while giving this too much?”
“Ah, did you find out?”
“You can see clearly, man.”
“Still, I can’t help it. How dare I compete with you in the field of garden design?”
“Hehe, even if this friend said something….”
The viscount’s gums were in full bloom in a smile.
Contrary to the gesture of shaking hands, it is an expression that I absolutely do not hate.
The more he did, the more moist and chewy Lloyd’s flattery(?) became.
“no. Seriously. So at this point, I want to feel a lot of things while watching the Viscount’s design from the side. Like the viscount said, it will be a really good experience.”
“Heh heh heh. Did you make up your mind that this guy would steal my design technique?”
“Isn’t it that the original juniors grew up like this?”
“Hey, that’s really cool. Even if you say this, I don’t hate you.”
“no. It’s because the Viscount is so generous and looks good on me.”
“is it?”
“yep.”
“Heh heh heh!”
The viscount laughed heartily.
Then, he unfolded the wad of paper on the workbench.
“Then would you like to see this? I was thinking about the big picture of the garden last night.”
“Have you already started designing the basics?”
“Because there is no reason to delay.”
Viscount Nord shrugged.
“It seems that the space where the land will be decorated as a garden keeps asking me. make it beautiful quickly. I want you to be able to reveal your true self.”
“….”
“So it is. I don’t know what you think, but I really enjoy the process. My heart trembles and I am happy. This process, as if the beauty, balance and harmony hidden in the randomly placed space is being discovered little by little with my hands.”
Looking at the drawing, Viscount Nord spoke cautiously.
Looking at the viscount’s profile, Lloyd suddenly thought for the first time that he was a cool person.
‘This person really likes garden design.’
just for money.
Or for a hefty price.
I felt that I was different from myself, who was in charge of the work like a snob.
So I thought.
‘Oh, I guess I can entrust the arms more fully.’
Let’s entrust more work and admire it.
Then, this person’s happiness index will do a roof kick.
At the same time, I will be able to do my monthly salary lupine comfortably.
‘If this isn’t a true mutual aid win-win, what is it!’
It was from then.
Lloyd praised Viscount Nord even more without remorse.
Viscount Nord took charge of the design following the measurement with a genuinely happy face.
However, that did not mean that he could entrust everything to the Viscount alone.
Around 15 days after the full-scale garden design began.
Viscount Nord said with a puzzled face.
“Huh, I’m worried about this.”
“yes? Are there any problems?”
Has this side been too blatantly entrusted with the work?
Maybe that’s why the viscount finally felt the limit of his patience?
Lloyd asked slightly worried.
Fortunately, the viscount’s worries were not like that.
“It’s because of the channels that His Highness the King specially ordered for this time and space.”
“Because of the aqueduct?”
“Yes. Do you remember? The Mazena River runs through the royal road. Didn’t His Highness tell us to draw water from that river and build an aqueduct in the garden?”
“Yes, it was.”
“He asked for a ship that could accommodate up to 50 people to pass through the waterway leisurely so that we could appreciate His Highness’s statue and dragon skeleton.”
“Yes, I remember.”
“So it is. It’s good to lay a water canal….”
“Are there any problems with the waterway design?”
The viscount scratched his head at this question.
“The difference in water level between the entrance point of the waterway where water drawn from the river enters the garden and the exit point that goes around the garden and exits is more significant than expected.”
“You mean the water will flow faster than expected.”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
The viscount touched his tired eyes.
“The flow is way too fast. Of course you can float a boat. But at this rate, I’ll have to give up things like leisurely gardening.”
“Hmm, I’m sure it is.”
Lloyd shook his head as he looked at the drawing the viscount was pointing at.
Looking at it like this, it is clear that the difference in water level at both ends of the canal was larger than expected.
‘It’s not just big, it’s almost 25 meters, right?’
But what if you put a boat on a waterway like this?
To exaggerate a bit, it is not a cruise ship, but an amusement park Flume Ride.
Admire the beautiful garden?
Admire the majestic stone statues and dragon skeletons?
Such leisure becomes a dreamland story.
‘It will be a full-fledged Grand Canyon rapids tour where everyone is busy throwing up in all directions due to seasickness or enjoys an unexpected thrill.’
Lloyd, who organized his thoughts, asked.
“Then, how about lengthening the canal itself?”
At least that would be the simplest solution.
It is as if a road coming down from a steep mountain area is deliberately made into a round and round hairpin course.
If you extend the length of the waterway as much as possible, you will be able to control the flow of the flow to some extent.
However, the viscount shook his head.
“no. It’s not like I haven’t thought of that either.”
“Are there any problems with that method?”
“Yes. It is not beautiful.”
“yes?”
“The canal is too distracting. In such a large garden, each area has its own theme, but if you increase the waterways too much, the space allotted for the waterways invades all themes. It can’t be.”
“Then, how about using a double-opening mitergate lock?”
“…what?”
Viscount Nord hesitated.
double-opening?
Mitergate?
To the puzzled man, Lloyd said as if it was nothing.
“Actually, it’s not that complicated of a concept. Can I use a pen for a minute?”
“Here you are.”
“thank you. If you simply draw the principle with a picture like this. It is made by cutting the waterway in a cascading fashion.”
“for a moment. Then what about the boat? How do you pass through the cascading waterways?”
“That’s why there is a lock.”
Swish.
Lloyd grinned and drew a rough outline of the lock.
“We make a lock in the middle of the waterway, at the end of the stairs. What if a ship enters through the lock? Then, block the way the ship came in. Like putting it in a fishbowl.”
“After that?”
“All you have to do is drain the fish tank.”
Lloyd quickly redrawn the surface of the water in a lower place.
“If you drain the water from the fishbowl, wouldn’t the boat come down along with the lowering surface?”
“I guess so.”
“When the water level is low enough, you can open the lock on the opposite side to the one you blocked earlier.”
“…ah.”
The viscount’s eyes twinkled.
“It seems that the ‘next step’ of the canal continues from the lock gate on the other side. Let’s say it’s a number with a level one level below. Am I right?”
“Yes, that is an accurate summary.”
Lloyd nodded.
Actually, it’s a simple principle.
A lock gate, a bulkhead to block the waterway, is built at a specific point in the waterway.
What if you close the lock when the ship comes in?
The space inside the lock becomes a square fish tank.
Then add or subtract water from the tank to adjust the level of the water surface.
When going from high water level to low water level?
You just need to drain the water.
When going from a low place to a high waterway?
Just add water.
Just put water in and take it out according to the waterways of different heights.
It literally acts as a ship elevator.
Like the locks on the Canal Saint Martin in Paris, France.
“Of course, the lock itself has to withstand the water pressure, so you can’t just make it big. According to my calculations, it seems that the water level can be adjusted by about 3 meters per lock.”
“If so, do you mean that we can install such locks all over the waterway?”
“yes. Then, while maintaining the flow rate of the entire waterway very gently, the tour boats will be able to operate leisurely.”
“Okay. In addition, passengers watching the garden on a boat will be mesmerized by the sight of the locks operating. Then you can decorate the inside of the lock beautifully. To catch people’s attention the moment the water recedes and the inner surface of the lock is exposed.”
“…Uh, that’s something I hadn’t thought of.”
“is it?”
“yes. I really hadn’t even thought about it that far. You are also the Viscount.”
“Hehe, this friend is humble. Heh heh heh.”
Viscount Nord chuckled.
At the same time, he was inwardly amazed.
I looked at Lloyd with meaningful eyes.
‘I guess this friend is also considerate of me.’
In fact, I had felt it since the first day we met, when I was being polite to myself.
That this young fellow isn’t showing his full potential.
I don’t pretend to know anything.
Rather, be wary of compliments around you.
He seemed to humble himself all the time.
Just like that.
‘It’s a lock. I never thought of using it for a garden waterway. But it was the way he chose his words so that I wouldn’t feel ashamed of that.’
Even at the end, I gave back the credit for the idea of decorating the lock.
I acted like I hadn’t even thought of that.
Of course, the Viscount could see that it was Lloyd’s consideration.
‘There’s no way the person who said that we should apply locks to the garden couldn’t have thought of that much. That’s clearly an act of giving credit for this idea to me.’
why?
The reason was unknown.
However, the Viscount did not hate Lloyd.
No, on the other hand, it felt special.
Perhaps, in fact, he is more capable than himself.
I was grateful to a young friend who did not reveal it carelessly and took care of his pride.
At the same time, I felt a subtle sense of goodwill competition.
So it was.
‘I’ll have to work harder.’
Recklessly relying only on the goodwill of juniors in the industry is unseemly.
This side should also show the experience and ability accumulated over a long time.
In doing so, the Viscount intensified his burning desire even more.
It was from that day.
Active leadership of Viscount Mennort with the Armed Forces.
And thanks to Lloyd’s moderate involvement.
The largest garden in the history of the Magentano royal family was designed in earnest.
Construction began under the full support of the royal family.
The number of workers mobilized alone was 5,000.
Even the royal wizards rolled up their sleeves.
Powerful magic ripped through, overturned, and tidied the land.
Thousands of workers toiled with shovels and tools.
In addition, Lloyd’s phantom species were also added.
“You know what? Dig, peel, and scrape it off!”
“Bang ha kko!”
Podongi dug a canal.
The blob swallowed the pile of dirt.
Hamangi brought water and filled the pond.
Kkomingi busily moved thousands of trees.
On the other hand, he contacted the Frontera estate and even called Bibeong.
“Byeom-!”
Throughout the entire project, Bibeongi tried to appeal to Bangbangi about his tremendous strength and untiring toughness. In other words, he participated in the construction with passion.
When even a 100-meter-tall fantasy species was actively added, the construction speed increased remarkably.
The seasons changed swiftly.
The foliage darkened.
The leaves have fallen.
The branches of the tree became gnarled.
White frost covered the branches.
After the end of the year, the first snow fell like that.
Everyone gets older by one year.
Xaviel teases Lloyd again with it.
Lloyd shuddered and struggled to make a rotten cow.
In the middle of the aung daung, the flower buds are formed.
One day when the magnolia blooms in early spring.
The ambitious show window created by the Magentano royal family to reveal national power to the outside world, the ‘Termina Grand Garden’, has revealed its first appearance to the world.
On that day, a festival was held in the royal capital to welcome the spring season.
A grand completion ceremony was held at the ‘Road of the King’ located in the center of Terrmina Grand Garden and at the end of the main square ‘Magentano’s Shelter’.
A stone statue of a towering king.
The skeleton of a 200-meter-long dragon prostrated respectfully toward the stone statue.
Everyone who attended the completion ceremony exclaimed exclamation at the majestic majesty.
Maybe that was it.
Throughout the completion celebration banquet.
No one sensed that a covert change had begun to take place in the dragon’s skeleton.
Less….
The dragon’s skull is weak and no one knows.
But sure.
Started moving.
