The Greatest Architect

47. How to make land (2)

Ding-dong.

[All members of the Baron Frontera are greatly impressed and respected by the magic miracles you have performed.]

[Bonus for this huge social achievement and a large amount of RP will be awarded.]

[450 RP obtained.]

[Current RP: 1131]

“Heave-ho!”

Lloyd clenches his fist.

Large scale construction of Marez wetlands.

As the process came to an end, I felt that the atmosphere was ripening.

Recently, it seemed like the eyes of the engineers and the territory changed again.

Not just astonishment, but admiration.

It’s not just a favor, it’s a glare.

So I expected this type of reward to be roughly expected.

‘Exactly as expected. Perfect.’

It’s only succeeded in construction.

He’s got a lot of RP.

I felt overwhelmed instantly.

‘For the first time, RP was accumulated in units of 1,000. ’

What do I use this for?

How to invest.

Just imagining it made me happy.

But Lloyd did not settle for imaginary pleasures.

Now was not the time to stay for a short reward and get wet with joy.

‘This construction is more important than ever. ’

Lloyd raises his head.

I looked up at the sky.

The summer was passing by.

The sunny blue sky still felt a little higher than before.

Throughout the construction process, the sun was weaker than before as well as the back of the engineers.

Fall to Bayah was approaching.

‘And the rainy season. ’

Here, in the frontier territory, it rains a lot in the spring and late fall.

Summer and winter are relatively low rainfall and dry.

Thanks to that, until now, construction has been very convenient.

It was almost raining.

‘But it’s gonna be different now. ’

As the winter’s threshold approaches as autumn approaches, there will be a thunderstorm.

Then the control and drainage performance of this hard-working hopper will be on the full test table.

Among them, Lloyd felt he had to prepare a seemingly endless drainage facility.

“Every time it rains, you have to drain the water properly. Otherwise, this maze will be submerged again. ”

“Is it because the landscape is low? ”

“Uh, right. ”

Xaviel’s question gives Lloyd a nod.

He said.

“This is a land that has been consolidated. ”

The soft marshes are now completely hardened.

It was because the flooded water had been removed.

In the process, the soil particles narrowed down and the overall layer became rigid.

I landed at the same time.

It was natural.

“The ground sinks just as much as the volume of water is draining. ”

“If you settle, does that mean you’re down? ”

“Uh. As the landscape gets lower, the rain will clear up more easily. It’s gonna be hard to get out. ”

“That would be a big deal. Why don’t we build more soil and raise the ground? ”

Xaviel tilts his head.

Lloyd’s choking.

“No, that’s not going to work. Why? I knew the ground here was carbonated. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“The dust layer is characterized by the weight of the soil that causes the earth to sink back down. So no matter how hard you pile up the dirt, it doesn’t work. Do you have a girlfriend because you only get so many dates? No, you’re not.”

“What’s a date? ”

“There is such a thing. Trying doesn’t work for me. ”

“Like Lloyd’s face. ”

“Uh, like your insomnia. ”

Lloyd smiles, skillfully returning Xaviel’s stone orb to a sharp hook without warning.

“Anyway, that’s why we need a ride. ”

A wagon is a water wheel powered by water.

And here, Marez Garrison is surrounded by two river streams.

It means that there is water to be used as an all-terrain power source just outside the fence.

“Otherwise, why would I have dug a ditch all over the place? ”

“Was it to collect Goyle Water in one place at the Forge? ”

“Yeah. Put them all together. And I’m going to drain the water out of the chamber with a screw pump wagon that uses the hydroelectric power of the tributaries. ”

Maintenance of the litter post construction.

Lloyd had finally come to know that great model.

It was a Dutch crossroads such as Kinderdijk.

‘Kinderdyke was like this. ’

It was a marshland of two layers.

It took me a long time to build an empire and drain the water.

The ground becomes firmer and lowered at the same time as it is pushed through.

Water that often hits the lower ground.

In preparation for the flood, the Dutch built a windmill.

The influence of the Gulf of Mexico that flows around the country was due to the high temperatures in winter, resulting in less snow buildup and the westerly influence of the sea breeze always harnessing the benefits of strong sea breezes.

It’s a great role model. Perfect for reference. Except windmills. ‘

We didn’t have to build old windmills here.

The water supply of the tributaries was enough.

Moreover, as is the case with most territories, there were also technicians who knew how to make traditional screw-type pump wagons.

“Anyway, the wagon construction is about to start. I’ve already ordered.”

It was true.

In fact, he had already brought in a technician on the first day of the construction.

I finished the order with a thick deposit.

‘It’s time to come. ’

Today was the day the technician was supposed to come to the site.

But for some reason, the technician didn’t come.

An uninvited guest came to visit him instead.

‘What’s that? ’

South of Marez Den.

You can see a group approaching here from quite a distance.

Only 20 people left.

They were all on horses.

No, it’s not. ’

Neither the engineers nor the workers.

Especially the man on the white horse of the lead was dressed in a rather fancy cloak.

Seeing it, Lloyd suddenly remembered the contents of the novel Blood Knight.

Bird of Lakona? ’

South of Frontera territory.

The neighboring territory facing Lacona was the dictatorship.

In the article of the Blood of Novels, it was briefly mentioned that the owner, Lacona Birch, was a very luxurious person.

‘Cloak in this weather. I think he’s right. ’

While thinking that, an uninvited guest from the south approaches.

As soon as they approached, I withdrew and asked.

“Are you in charge of this construction site? ”

The man who walked on the horse was a man on a black horse.

It was lightly dressed.

However, the knight looks clear from his firm figure, sword in his waist, and skillful handling of horses.

Xaviel steps forward.

“Mind your manners. This is Baron Frontera’s eldest son, Lloyd Frontera, the owner of the Baron Frontera. Who do you serve, and why did you come here? ”

“Lloyd Frontera? Hmm, we have business with the lord here. Where is the Baron? ”

“ ……. ”

Xaviel’s eyebrows twitch.

It wasn’t too much.

It is clear that the Lord’s son is here.

Nevertheless, the man over there, who the knight would be sure of, did not give an example, and was not even coming off the horse. Moreover, he asked only to meet the baron unilaterally.

There was no attitude to being an unmanned person.

However, Xaviel did not disrespect the opponent.

To be precise, I didn’t have a chance.

It was because Lloyd quickly stepped forward as he tried to spit out a solemn blow.

“Are you Bird of Rionero Lacona? ”

“Of course I am. The Confederate of the Frontera family should be polite to the Prince first… ”

“Whoa. Don’t be nervous talking to nobles. Is that Lacona? ”

Lloyd’s gaze is towards the man in the cape, Birkhoff.

The Black Horse Knight’s expression stiffens.

That was the case with all twenty of his knights.

The more he did, the more he was satisfied (?) smiled.

“Greetings. This is Lloyd Frontera, the eldest son of the Frontera family, as our son mentioned earlier. What brings you here today? ”

“ ……. ”

Lacona looks at Lloyd instead of answering.

Lloyd did not avoid the look in his eyes.

Fall is coming under the sun.

A strange chill flows between the birch and Lloyd.

In the end, the one who first broke the silence was Birkhoff.

“Rumor has it that the behavior of the firstborn of the Frontera family is very unique and presumptuous. ”

“Have you heard of me? ”

“Of course. Now that I’ve met you, I don’t think the rumors are wrong. ”

“It’s an honor. I should have been better. ”

“ ……. ”

“By the way, what brings you all the way out here? ”

“I wish to discuss this with your father, the Baron, directly. ”

“I’d like to see what you’re up to first. ”

“Tsk. I don’t want to lose a word. ”

“Thank you.”

“I’m here to talk to you about your territory. ”

“Territory? ”

“Marez Marsh here. ”

The bird looks around.

His mouth twitches when he grows a goatee.

“I am charged with guarding and guarding the realm as the ministry of the king. But I heard some unspeakable news recently. News about this place, Marez Marsh. ”

“What news of this place? ”

“The news of the Frontera family’s unauthorized development of a wetland here without any consultation. ”

His words continue.

“You know that. Marez Marsh lies between the Baron Frontera and my territory. ”

“Yes, of course I do. ”

Lloyd nods.

It was true.

Marez Marsh lies between the Baron and the Baron.

To be precise, the barons were in their territory to the north, and the south was in their territory.

The bird spoke in a solemn voice.

“So I have every right to the southern marshes. Think about it.A territory is a vomit commissioned by a great king. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Then whose duty is it to govern the vomit? ”

“The lord.”

“That’s right. Now we’re talking. ”

The tail of the bird rises in delight.

Lloyd smiles bitterly.

I couldn’t help but smile.

‘Haha, now I know. ’

Just in case, I heard the story, and it was just like that.

This is why the Bird of the Southern Territory came here.

I got an approximate picture of him.

It was simple.

“Marez Marsh has been a wasteland for generations. But they must have heard it was developed on neighboring territory. First you wonder, then you bang on the calculator. And I would have waited until the development was complete. I’m not touching my nose. I’m going to show up this late to claim my rights. This is where they used to land. It’s a free spoon. Like a dung fly. ‘

If it’s profitable, the dung flies run like the devil.

There were this kind of people everywhere.

The same was true of the Republic of Korea, where he had lived.

It was the fraudsters who deceived my father into going down.

It was a voice spinner who stayed a day and cheated people.

It was the same in everyday life, not in crime.

You guys are so rude that sometimes you just say “one word.”

Or the ones who stay quiet all the time in the game and only take the last hits.

‘That’s how the world works anyway. Conscience? It’s where profits come first. ’

I thought this place wouldn’t be so different either.

The newly developed Marez marsh.

He was expecting enough dung flies to visit this place.

The baron, of course, was one of his anticipated dung flies.

‘It’s so obvious. ’

This is the situation.

I had expected enough.

Ever since I first planned to develop Marais wetlands.

‘So you picked the wrong guy. ’

Lloyd glances at the bird with a bloody smile.

It was the same. It was ridiculous.

This land was developed with so much sweat.

To put a spoon in a place like this for free.

At this point, I thought I should nail it so that I would never think of it again.

I don’t think they realized that at all.

The songwriter is still chirping and chattering hard.

“So the Frontera family would give me the southern half of the Marez marsh. Because this land is the sacred vomit that you have given me, and I must take care of it with all my loyalty. Do you understand?”

“ ……. ”

“So get me the baron now. Don’t waste any more of my time. ”

“ ……. ”

“Can’t you hear me? ”

“I can hear you. The flapping of the dung flies’ wings in my ears is very confusing. ”

“What?”

The bird impressed me.

Lloyd dug a hole in his ear.

And I looked around.

It was quiet everywhere.

Because there’s no one?

It wasn’t.

Rather, there were a lot of people around.

Twenty knights brought in by the birdie.

Dozens of engineers stopped working while shoveling.

He arrived late and saw a staggering horse-drawn car technician.

In other words, over a hundred eyes were looking this way.

Everyone’s ears are wide open, keeping quiet.

Tons of spectators.

It seemed like the right game was opened.

‘Especially witnesses to these disputes. ’

The stage is satisfactory.

Lloyd chuckles.

I look up at the bird, which is still not coming off the horse.

“I heard what you said. I heard what you were saying. And I suddenly thought, you know, you’re really good at this nonsense. Have you been self-taught at home? ”

“…… what? ”

“Now let’s take some time to legally argue why your story is less covered and worthless than a twisted wipe. ”

Smile as long as you can.

Along with that smile, Lloyd begins to speak cheerfully.

It was the beginning of a bloodless and tearless factual violence.
