Chapter 325. The left angel in the guest room (2)
“Well then, if you let me stay here, in return I will…How about telling you the news from the heavens?”
“Oh, news from the heavens?”
“Ah yes. Because you said you needed help. Because he said he would let me stay here.”
“For starters, it’s a good start. Could you elaborate a bit more? Hmmmm!”
Lloyd deliberately cleared his throat.
He restrained the corner of his mouth from trying to catch his ear.
However, it could not stop the hula dance of joy that the tongue danced in the closed mouth.
‘good. It’s perfect.’
The Left Angel in front of you.
I did it in case, but it’s still the same.
As expected, he is an innocent guy whose time in the human world has not been burned.
Maybe that’s why, because I deliberately act small and pressure them, they quickly give me what I want.
Just like now, he showed a rudimentary appearance at the negotiating table.
“You want more detail? Um what can I say I can’t return to the heaven world because I lost the angel’s ring, but I can still communicate with the heaven world to some extent. Especially since I am an angel in a pretty important position.”
“Thanks to you, can you hear the instructions from the superior?”
“yes. Similar.”
“Then can you inform me of any additional reactions or decisions from the celestial realm related to the construction of the Jewel of Truth from time to time?”
“I guess so.”
Raphael nodded.
Lloyd tilted his head.
“But can I do that?”
“yes?”
“Angel teacher, isn’t it Raphael?”
“yes.”
“After all, Raphael is not an angel from heaven. It also has a fairly high rank. By the way, is it okay if I tell you the information about the heavens?”
“yes. After all, I lost my angelic ring, and I was put on a kind of suspension of duty.”
“Hmm.”
“I’m just letting you know what your superiors decide, and you decide how to use that information. So even in heaven, he won’t stop me.”
“Then I’m glad. Can I trust Raphael?”
“what…Do you mean it?”
“Couldn’t you give me the guidance of the celestial world as lies?”
“Are you lying?”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodded.
“Certainly, while pretending to cooperate like this, you can secretly demolish the gem by surprise. Isn’t it?”
“It is not. I have no intention of doing that.”
“Why?”
“Because of your tip. The decision to dismantle the jewel this time…Was the unilateral decision without consultation with you right? …I feel skeptical about it.”
Raphael smiled good-naturedly.
It was sincere.
For the first time, I felt a sense of shame that I had failed in the execution of public duties.
On the other hand, I felt an unexpected relief.
No matter how successfully they execute wrong public duties, what will they do?
He also heard questions about his professional calling, which he had taken for granted.
He pointed to his ring of fire.
“Besides, I’m a being who can’t lie anyway. The moment you put a lie in your mouth, you lose your innocence. You may have seen it before. As soon as you swear, the flames disappear from this ring of fire.”
“Hmm.”
“If in doubt, you can try it out for a moment now.”
“may I?”
“of course.”
Raphael confidently recommended.
Lloyd pretended to ponder for a moment before suddenly extending his hand.
“Now, these are my hands. Is that correct?”
“you’re right.”
Raphael’s answer.
Indeed, the ring of flame did not go out.
Lloyd’s test questions followed.
“Then the second test. The guy from our territory, Xaviel, who competed with Raphael. The guy has a great look. Is that correct?”
“Very right.”
Raphael replied as if it were natural.
The ring of flame was still not extinguished.
Lloyd’s swarming third question followed.
“From an objective point of view, I also have a fairly decent appearance. Is that correct?”
“you’re right.”
hook.
The ring’s flames went out.
“….”
Raphael was silent in embarrassment.
Tears welled up in Lloyd’s eyes.
Such silence for a while.
A shout of anger (?) burst out of Lloyd’s mouth.
“Isn’t that bastard’s ring broken?”
“….”
“Right. It’s broken. There is no absolute reliability. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“….”
“Actually, isn’t it purity and something that just lights up and goes out according to the mood? Right? That’s it. Oh, I’m surprised again.”
“Here is this.”
“Why are you giving me a handkerchief?”
“I don’t know English, but I want you to wipe your tears first….”
Hwareuk!
The flames of the ring of fire revived.
“….”
The stream of tears running down Lloyd’s cheeks grew thicker.
But he had to admit it.
That ring of fire seems to work just fine.
Therefore, the veracity of the celestial news conveyed by the left angel can be fully believed.
‘good. For now, I got the card I wanted.’
Although I received an unexpected fact attack (?).
Still, Lloyd was quite satisfied.
A left angel who will sit here in the manor for 10 years.
It was thanks to him getting the card he had hoped to get from him.
‘There was something like that in the novel Iron Blooded Knight. It is said that the angels of the celestial world can maintain contact with the celestial world under any circumstances. You can listen to the orders of your superiors. But what if this man sits down on the manor? I thought the simplest and most direct help you could give me was to keep in touch.’
Obtaining real-time information of the heavens through left angels.
Knowing in advance the decisions of the upper celestial world.
Thanks to that, I will be able to prepare for the heavenly response.
It was probably the most necessary and desperate information in the current situation.
‘Because there’s not much time left to complete the jewel.’
Even so, it was in the middle of the finishing touches.
If you stick to the construction a little longer.
It really could have been completed.
then?
‘I’m going to use the gem right away.’
How to prevent the phenomenon of restoration of fate.
You just have to figure it out.
What next?
‘In the worst case, tougher measures may come from the heavens. But it doesn’t matter. If you don’t think you can handle the decision of the celestial world, then you just have to remove the jewel. After all, the way to prevent the restoration of fate must be figured out.’
Lloyd thought so.
So, complete the Jail.
All you need to do is figure out how to prevent the restoration of fate.
Enduring until then is the most important thing.
Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the information of the heavens in real time.
When will they raise the hammer of demolition?
You have to know the timing, so you can drag the time and measure the angle whether you block or resist.
The probability of surviving until the jewel is completed increases.
Lloyd, who had finished his calculations, put a satisfied smile on his lips.
“Whoa, that’s good. I can trust you if you do this.”
“Is that so? Then can I stay here now?”
“yes. On the condition that it informs you of the news of the celestial world in real time at any time.”
“All right. Then, please take care of me.”
“Whoa, that’s me. So, let’s write a contract from now on.”
“…yes?”
Lloyd took out two blank sheets of paper.
Raphael tilted his head.
“What is it?”
“What is it? It’s a contract. A rental contract.”
“….”
“Any promise or transaction should be written in a contract. That’s common sense. It may not be like that in heaven, but this is a summer world where only the strong survive.”
“….”
“Now, let’s start by summarizing what we discussed verbally a while ago….”
Lloyd writes contracts so skillfully.
Left angel Raphael is embarrassed by Lloyd’s attitude and interferes with it.
That’s how the deal between the two opposites was concluded.
♣
Another two days passed.
In the meantime, the dam and book construction sites have been cleaned up.
It was a scene that was messed up by the descent of the left angel and the fierce battle that followed.
It took a lot of work to clean up.
But cleanup was quick.
“of course. Where is the time to rest? Let’s work! Goalkeepers Relief today!”
[Overnight!]
[All-night!]
[Death from overwork!]
Lloyd worked day and night without distinction.
Fortunately (?) they were fine even if they didn’t eat or sleep.
It was like a flawless labor unit that considered working overtime and staying up all night the highest virtue.
‘Well, of course they like to rest and play. But the current situation is the situation.’
It was a situation where the completion of the bail had to be hastened.
If your schedule is stretched.
Then, if additional measures are taken from the heavens.
It was a situation where it could be demolished with the completion of the jewel right around the corner.
‘So you must hurry. From now on, it’s really a speed battle.’
Lloyd had a bad heart.
As soon as the site was cleared, construction resumed.
The remaining part of the dam body was built up.
Of course, it was exactly what it was designed for.
It has secured a strong back (?) that can resist external forces with the weight of the dam itself.
Thanks to this, it is fully equipped with sufficient conditions to handle all of the hydrostatic pressure, dynamic water pressure, positive pressure, wave pressure, and sedimentation pressure that will be applied to the dam.
And that wasn’t all.
‘Because I can’t simply trap water like a normal dam here.’
Here in the reservoir of the dam, the Jewel of Truth will be activated.
As a result, huge waves will be created.
‘I can’t force myself to withstand that wave.’
No matter how strong the dam is.
Lloyd had calculated that it would be difficult to withstand the overflow that would be created by activating the jewel.
So, a path for the huge waves to escape naturally was also secured.
The central upper part of the dam.
It was intentionally lowered and made to protrude sharply.
Its rough shape resembled an open spout of a paper milk carton.
‘I made a spout for the waves to escape naturally while minimizing the pressure on the dam.’
Just tilt the paper milk carton.
Milk spurts along the pointed snout.
The waves created by the operation of the gem will also flow like that.
‘Because I’ve already done countless simulations. Because that’s how it’s been verified.’
Lloyd was sure it would work 100 percent as intended.
At the same time, he spurred the construction of the jewel of truth.
A huge pyramid resembling a general’s gun.
Exterior decorations were implemented in the same way as the design drawings.
In the process, the Dwarf master, Cogidus, was of great help.
“This is my friend! What if you dig it like that! huh!”
The red dragon Solitas, who became an apprentice to the artisan, also carve relief decorations on the outer wall of the jewel while being gorged all day long.
As such, the whole process went smoothly and quickly.
Lloyd’s job satisfaction, which supervises the construction progress, also increased day by day.
Meanwhile, Xaviel’s doubts about Lloyd deepened day by day.
“That’s why I’m telling you, but I think Lloyd-nim is very suspicious.”
“what?”
What kind of babbling noise is this?
after a day’s work.
As we were leaving after the on-site inspection, Xaviel threw something meaningful in his characteristic cool tone.
Lloyd furrowed one eyebrow slightly.
“What is suspicious?”
I don’t think he noticed this guy’s true identity.
Was it because I felt like I was being stabbed?
The voice that spoke back to the guy made me unknowingly thorns grow.
However, Xaviel still only asked in a calm tone.
“It’s Lloyd-sama’s skills.”
“My skills?”
“yes.”
“What skills?”
“It’s obvious that you barely reached the advanced level of Sword Expert just a few months ago.”
“Oh that.”
phew i’m glad
Lloyd was relieved and trembled.
“also. Did you recognize it even if I didn’t tell you otherwise?”
“It is natural. Because I saw the aura that formed on the tip of the shovel.”
“Did you see it? Hitting an angel on the head with that?”
“yes. I didn’t just see that, though.”
“What else did you see?”
“I witnessed an unnatural and bizarre sight, as if the angel was somehow moving according to Lord Lloyd’s intention.”
“Yeah, that’s an illusion.”
“I didn’t think it was an illusion.”
“You are mistaken. what superpower am i? Are you a wizard? Besides, just because I have a little talent like that, how can I control angels at will?”
“but….”
“No matter how much you think about it, doesn’t that sound a little off?”
“yes. Looking back, I think I overestimated Lloyd-sama too much.”
“….”
“but. Lloyd-sama is not that kind of person. The level of a sword master. Well, it was an extreme situation where you had to fight an angel, so it might be that you accidentally exceeded your limit.”
“….”
“Besides, the ability to manipulate angels at will. I guess I went crazy for a moment. Just someone like Lloyd. It must be extremely factual and universally valid common sense that such a great thing would never happen.”
“….”
“There, by the way.”
“huh.”
“Why are your eyes so full of tears?”
“no. It’s flashy.”
“For some reason, the bridge of your nose turned red.”
“My rhinitis flared up.”
“The corners of your mouth are trembling.”
“You must be nervous.”
“Why?”
“It’s because of you. You beat people like this every day. Absolutely without blood or tears.”
“As I have said many times, I have never assaulted Lloyd-sama.”
“Tsk tsk. To the point of shamelessness.”
“Isn’t that Lloyd-sama’s specialty?”
“Oh, that is correct.”
Lloyd laughed bitterly.
It was fortunate.
The fact that this side has reached the level of a sword master too quickly.
The attack design options we used against Left Angel.
It didn’t seem too suspicious.
‘Well, it seems to be a little strange, but. It can’t be helped. It’s an attack design option, so it’s not obvious, so it’s just a matter of evasion and it’s over. But in just a few months, going from advanced sword expert to sword master…Awesome. It was also a situation where there was no other sharp way, so I can’t help it even if it seems strange.’
Let’s just put an iron plate on it.
Thinking so, Lloyd licked his lips at Xaviel.
He loaded his tongue with the words of a calm and shameless counterattack.
But that was then.
“…you! Lloyd Frontera!”
From the direction of the Prontera family mansion in the distance.
Someone spread a pair of shiny wings and flew.
It seems that the three-room family will pay for the meal.
Or maybe there’s some big news.
“You waited! Regarding the Jewel of Truth! Additional measures from the heavens have come down!”
Raphael, the left angel, shouted loudly as if announcing an emergency breaking news.
