Episode #83. A thing worthy of the Black Dragon clan.
Take a moment to look at Li Mon, who is chatting with Li Qingyu, with a complicated face.
Wei Ling quietly opened her mouth.
“If damage is caused by the swordsman misunderstanding, the responsibility will fall on the princess as well.”
“are you okay.”
“It is not something to be taken lightly. If you don’t do it right, the permission for the marriage that the princess obtained after persuading the elders could be ruined.”
“Conversely, if the swordsmith’s prediction is correct, you will be able to boast to the elders after a long time.”
Wei-Ling stays silent while watching Li Qing-Ye who ignores the possibility that Limon is wrong.
Looking at her, Limon smiled.
“What are you so worried about? It won’t hurt you anyway.”
“What kind of grain is it?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if this engagement was canceled?”
It seems that the idea did not exist.
A little while in silence.
Wei Ling said with an extremely serious and sincere expression.
“Come to think of it, I think your prediction is correct. We will take immediate action.”
“…Isn’t that too cleanly affirming?”
“Because I hate you and believe that an engagement with you will never do the princess any good.”
Go beyond saying it doesn’t matter if you’re wrong, just get it wrong! A change of attitude in which the intention of doing is revealed as it is.
In addition, he stared at Wei Ling with a puzzled face at that blatant statement that he said he disliked him openly about the subject of the attendant.
Limon slightly turned his head.
“Princess, why the hell did you give me a child like this?”
“Because they are competent and reliable.”
“Only that?”
“If I have to add one thing, it’s cute.”
“…I was just asking seriously?”
“Yes, so did I answer seriously?”
It seems like there is something wrong.
Li Qingyu tilted her head.
Limon, who was looking at her strangely, finally laughed.
“What happened to that? What I need is not a flatterer, but an agent who will take care of the matter.”
“Do not worry. I will take care of it with great certainty.”
Whether Limon’s prediction is right or wrong.
I will carry out his instructions.
So whether it’s getting fame or not.
Or take responsibility and get kicked out.
Limon, who was giggling at Wei-Ling, who was threatening, not threatening that Limon would have to take care of things, started talking as if he had just remembered.
“And stupid. This is just in case, if you run into those beasts.”
“Are you telling me to contact you right away?”
“No, just run away.”
“…if your intention was to humiliate me, I’d say it worked.”
A samurai who must protect his clan.
In particular, telling a prestigious clan to run away without fighting the enemy is definitely an insult.
If Limon hadn’t had the princess he respected next to him right now, it would have been enough to fight for life right away.
Limon gave serious advice to Wei Ling, who glared at him with cold eyes.
“Don’t be so thick. It’s not meant to be a joke, it’s objective advice.”
“What do you mean objective?”
“At least in the sense that you won’t be able to handle even a single beast with your skills unless you fight together with a armed force of the level of the Dark Militia.”
Wei Ling frowned at that callous evaluation.
“There are no warriors who only fight fights they can win.”
“But it’s not a military man, but an idiot, who fights a fight he can’t win because of his pride when he doesn’t have to fight.”
“Well, that’s definitely what the swordsman said.”
“…”
Was it because Li Qing-yu was resentful of taking Li Mon’s side?
He grinned at Wei Ling, who looked at him with bloody eyes like a young man who had been deprived of his lover.
“If you really don’t want to run away, at least learn swordsmanship.”
“I mean you?”
“okay. Even if you lack talent, the foundation is strong, so if you take a special lecture for 1 or 3 days, you will be able to endure it.”
Like a child holding a wooden sword for the first time.
A white-haired man who patronizes that he can teach you the basics right away.
Take a moment to look at that single, smiling face.
Wei Ling politely spread one palm out of sight to Li Qingyu and showed Limon a specific gesture with his middle finger.
“Eat some shit.”
Wei Ling bowed politely to Li Qingyu and then left.
Seeing this, Limon, who was lying on the sofa and crawling, looked back at Li Qingyu and smiled maliciously.
“That’s really cute, too, stupid.”
“Yes? In our clan, they are at the level of designated protection spirits that are on the verge of extinction.”
“Well, I don’t think it’s that far, but… I’ll admit that it’s rare for the Black Dragon clan to say things like that openly in front of my face.”
Limon laughed.
You wouldn’t know if he was cheating behind your back, but he was openly hostile in front of his face, but he did the job convincingly.
For a black dragon clan, he had a really cute personality.
It’s like seeing a cocky cat who cries while holding out his hand to make it easier to pet him.
“So how much do you think it is?”
“What do you mean?”
“If the beasts are targeting our affiliates again, there is a possibility that we can stop them.”
“Do you know that it is me?”
Li Qingyu tilted her head as if unexpectedly.
“You predicted the location of the next raid, right?”
“That’s not a prediction, but rather a half shot. It’s not even certain that they’re going to target your affiliates again in the first place.”
Limon shrugged.
His predictions are close to instinctive intuition.
Based on his vast experience, he was only pointing out that if he used a swordsmanship like this, he would aim for this place next time.
“But if your affiliates are attacked again, two things will become clear.”
“What are you talking about?”
“One is that you have what they want.”
“Is this a crime for profit?”
“Because the method and pattern of killing are too unusual to be seen as simple pleasure crimes or retaliation.”
Recalling the corpses examined at Black Dragon Construction, Limon quietly continued.
“I don’t know if they’re after money or something special. The raids will probably continue until we get it.”
“It’s something special… that’s difficult to say.”
“Can you guess anything?”
“If I have to say, it’s a problem because there are too many guesses.”
Li Qingyu put on a puzzled expression.
The treasures of the Black Dragon clan, which have enjoyed enormous wealth and power over a long history, are by no means small.
It was to the extent that each of the prestigious clans had a few of them as heirlooms of unique weapons or works of art.
“…it’s also a problem with too much money.”
“Iknow, right. Originally, this shouldn’t happen to our affiliates… Where did I do something wrong?”
“Where could this be because of your fault? It’s the fault of the people who did it.”
With superhuman hearing, Limon managed to understand the monologue that disappeared after it only lingered in his mouth, and accepted it with disdain.
It seems like when did you put on a dark face?
Hearing Limon’s consolation, Li Qingyu smiled and asked as if he had just remembered.
“Come to think of it, what is the other one?”
“You mean what’s clear from their attack?”
“yes.”
Is it pure curiosity?
or something else
Facing obsidian-like eyes that glowed with an incomprehensible radiance, Limon spoke calmly.
“It means I will be busy in the future.”
Limon’s three subsidiaries.
It was only two days later that one of them was attacked by a beast.
* * *
“What? Another raid?”
“These dragon-like puppies who don’t know how to be afraid…!”
“Where are you this time? How much was the damage?”
When I heard that the monsters appeared once again.
The Black Dragon clan was furious.
Attacking their affiliates not once but twice in a row meant that the beast was looking down on the Black Dragon clan.
For those who have pride as the losers who ruled the world in the past, it was something to turn their eyes away from.
“How much damage did you say?”
“It’s fortunate that the armed forces were also dispatched.”
“Hey, that’s a natural result. If we’re not vigilant, there’s no way our clan could fall for those guys!”
And when I was told I had blocked the pleural fluid.
The Black Dragon Clan was relieved.
For now, the mere fact that they had prevented a series of raids not only boosted their self-esteem, but also prevented the decline in the share price of the affiliates.
Although it was a pity that he did not catch the beast.
“I don’t know who it was, but it made the ball.”
“It’s really a big credit to have stopped those who harmed even the king of the Shanghai royal family.”
“At this point, I should send a letter to the elders and let them know about it. So won’t the elders give you a bigger reward more freely?”
In that sense, it was natural for the Black Dragon clan to send favor and attention to those who had stopped the beast.
So after knowing the details.
The Black Dragon clan was shocked.
“…what?”
“Wait, who is it?”
“Guardian…? You’re not talking about the Guardian, are you? It won’t be, even if you’re right, say no!”
Numerous members of the clan shouted in unison that something was wrong and that it could never be.
However, the information they found out after mobilizing all kinds of means was almost the same in the end.
“Well, they say our company could be the next target for that Guardian or something.”
“Of course I didn’t believe it. However, after forcibly kicking them out, all I can say is that they even brought the princess’s letter with them.”
“The princess made a promise that if we introduce the guardian system, we will dispatch a military force.”
“Oh, you traitor!”
“I just used the clan’s military force to protect the clan’s assets, as the princess advised! Why did you sell the pride of the clan?!”
It’s a total mess.
It was indeed chaos of chaos and chaos.
If I had been helped by a passing player, I would have hurt my pride.
However, the fact that the Guardian, led by Limon, played a decisive role in stopping the beasts was enough to make them panic.
“It’s unbelievable that that mad dog helped protect our clan’s affiliates!”
“But isn’t it true that the Guardian actually played a role in preventing the beasts from attacking?”
“joy! What a fucking help! Isn’t it an open fact that the swordsman puts all his work aside and just plays and eats!”
“This is a ruse! The swordsmith must have intercepted the balls set by others!”
“Maybe it’s a swordsmith’s own play…”
“Isn’t that a great leap?”
“Oh, if you don’t know something, don’t tell me. The swordsman is still a sleeper! Don’t you know how many members of our clan have been killed by him so far?!”
“Yeah, I know…”
“I’ll tell you just in case, but don’t ever think of relying on a guardian! That is a betrayal!”
“of course! We must protect our company with our own strength!”
“Whoa, I know. The Guardian is definitely an incredible place.”
That same evening, the three presidents of affiliates of the Black Dragon Clan had a meeting and decided not to join the Guardian.
The number of subsidiaries that introduced the Guardian system increased by three.
On the condition that they keep the fact that they entrusted the guard to the Guardian a secret.
It was truly like the Black Dragon clan.
