#457. I made a mistake.
If you think soberly.
Charlotte’s choice was reasonable.
A sword master’s super sense is something special.
In particular, his senses, which became more sensitive after cutting the constellation, were able to recognize most lies at a glance.
It is, though.
Thinking of using the Sword Master as a lie detector?
It was an idea that was possible because it was the arrogant Golden Dragon Princess.
“Enough of the talk, tell me what you find out.”
“I didn’t find out all that much.”
Limon scratched his cheek as he looked at Charlotte, who asked proudly, like an owner who had seen a hound bring a bone.
No matter how good a sword master’s senses are, he cannot read people’s minds like the Black Dragon clan.
What is possible is, at most, the degree of reading the unique reaction when the other person is lying through the heartbeat and pupil movement.
It was even harder against high-level players who are good at lying, like the officers of the Liberation Brigade
.
“Seeing as he pretended to be full of resentment, his personality was quite selfish, and he must have had no trust in the organization.”
However, that is only the case for ordinary sword masters.
Limon is Noh Kang-ho, who has lived for a long time and has dealt with countless villains and liars.
Besides, as much as Charlotte had shaken her heart with all sorts of words, she was able to pinpoint what words Rex was agitated by.
“Instead, it seems that you have a strange trust in your abilities.”
“I’m not sure what direction he fled, but at least he seems to have a plan besides just running away.”
That’s the only thing he found out.
Limon said casually.
Charlotte made a silly face.
“It’s a waste of a swordsmith’s name to find out only that much.”
“If you’re going to say that, at least loosen the gag. You can’t even open your mouth, what else do you want me to find out?”
Limon objected sullenly.
If Rex had allowed him to talk, he would have been able to dig up even more.
whether it’s true
whether it’s false
Just saying something makes a person reveal a lot of information.
In that sense, it was unreasonable for Charlotte to interrogate her while she was gagged and blame her for lack of information.
But Charlotte didn’t admit it.
Rather, he just snorted lightly, as if it was unreasonable.
“If he opens his mouth, shouldn’t we let him go?”
“…He must have only lied anyway?”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as I promise to give you a reward and release you if I give you useful information, I will definitely keep it.”
I have no intention of unleashing a bug like Rex into the world, no matter how much information I get.
Look at Charlotte talking arrogantly.
Limon murmured after a moment of silence.
“You, the Gold Dragon Clan, still have a troublesome personality.”
If it had been Li Qingyu…
no, even if it was another princess, he wouldn’t have let Rex go.
Even if he voluntarily confessed everything, at best it would have been a comfortable death without torture.
They are descendants of dragons.
Even the innocent Ainsha and the benevolent Rose could not tolerate finely releasing enemies who disturbed the territory and harmed the clan.
But Charlotte is different.
whether the opponent is an enemy or not.
did you just tell the truth
whether you lied
More than once they said they would let them go.
If Rex had responded on the surface, Charlotte would have guaranteed her safety with a really large paycheck.
She is the Golden Dragon Princess.
She was the most arrogant of the Seven Dragons and therefore the princess of the Golden Dragon clan who never knew lies.
Of course that’s inefficient.
From their point of view, who had to subdue the remnants of the Liberation Brigade as soon as possible, the priority had to be to dig up information even by lying, but… ”
So you don’t like it?”
Feel free to tell me if you have any complaints.
For a while, I hope to face Charlotte, who is looking at me with unwavering golden eyes.
fed up
After a light laugh.
Limon took a quick step.
“Let’s start the next interrogation quickly.”
If it’s like this, you’ll have to rob quite a few guys.
At the end of staring at the back of Limon, who speaks in a sharp tone, but eventually passes him and leads the way.
Charlotte pursed her lips slightly.
“What a difficult hound to tame.”
For some reason.
So it seems rather enjoyable.
With an interesting smile on his always languid face.
The strongest princess of the Seven Dragons leisurely followed the man who would become her own.
* * *
In the end, Limon and Charlotte interrogated more than ten prisoners in succession.
One who resigns himself and remains silent.
The one who smiles like it’s good.
Those who roll their heads to live, etc.
As befits an officer of the Liberation Brigade, where only heinous criminals gather, the reactions were different.
However, even they couldn’t hide their true feelings against the combination of Charlotte, who shakes their hearts with huge amounts of money and freedom, and Limon, who has super senses.
By the time the long and half-day interrogation was over.
Limon was able to find out more than the first time.
For example…
“Hey boss. Did you get the results of checking the safe in the secret bank?”
“Not yet.”
“You mean you don’t know what was stolen after all?”
“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“Every time the boss mentions the contents of a secret bank or safe, their hearts scream out for something to hide.”
“You mean knowing what was stolen will help us catch them?”
“If it’s according to my senses.”
Limon answered seriously.
According to his prediction, what they stole from the secret bank must be Seven Arcs.
But it was natural to try to hide it.
Even more so if the opponent is Limon, who has already stolen two of the Seven Arcs.
However, the behavior of the prisoners was too questionable to just assume that was the case.
‘I have a strong grudge against the young ghost who abandoned me, but I can’t let them get caught.’ A strangely unwavering loyalty to…
Because each time it was revealed, the reaction to the stolen item became stronger.
As if the mere knowledge of the object would endanger the escaped ghost.
That’s why it was important to know what was stolen…
“Unfortunately, even though it’s a secret bank managed by our clan, not everyone knows what’s inside.”
“I guess so.”
Limon clicked his tongue.
Secret banks were originally used by criminals for behind-the-scenes transactions and money laundering.
As such, the safety deposit box there was lined with all sorts of items that even the Golden Dragon clan did not know the contents of.
Even if I cleaned up only the things I wanted, I left the entire safe on a hard-to-find board.
where did what disappear
There was no way to find out unless the items in the safe were individually checked against the list and checked with tens of thousands of customers.
It was all the more so considering that there are not a few customers who have already died or disappeared like a criminal.
“Then what can I do?”
After reviewing all relevant matters.
Limon clicked his tongue lightly.
And he said to Charlotte.
“Could you give me a list of items and customers kept in the boss’s secret bank?”
“What kind of trick are you trying to do?”
“It’s not to the point of being called a talent.”
Seeing Charlotte ask with interest, Limon smiled.
Then, he took out the violin case he had been keeping in his shadow and answered a little mischievously.
“Isn’t sniffing a hound’s specialty?”
So after a while.
Gee ying.
…In a world of opaque possibilities, a performance began to find a single answer only through intuition.
* * *
Giying.
A sound rings out.
rough like waves.
Capricious like a person.
Jung-gu heating person like junk.
It’s a storm rather than a performance that can’t find order.
It was a whirlpool of melodies, unknown when and how.
‘OMG.’
in that tune.
Involuntarily gulp.
Yuna-kyung swallowed dry saliva.
‘Why is your playing skill getting better and better?’
Of course, having always hung out with Limon, she knew that he played the violin in his free time.
But it’s literally a practice that you do in your spare time.
For others, it would be nothing more than minimal training to keep their skills from falling, but why did they improve their skills so much?
It was so strange that it was almost incomprehensible.
‘Is it because he’s a sword master?’
However, looking at it differently, I got it.
In addition to superhuman senses, the Sword Master is a superhuman with a perfect body that never ages or declines.
It also meant that even if I took a break for years, not months, my skills would never decline.
What if such a person continues to practice?
It was only natural that he would continue to improve, albeit little by little.
…It was shocking to see that he had not stopped growing even though he already had the playing skills of a world-class violinist.
‘It’s really scary. Being a sword master is…’
Giing.
How could there have been more than 10 such superhumans in the Age of Heroes, and now only Limon remains?
While Yuna-kyung shudders again.
After finishing the performance, Limon let out a slight sigh.
“Huh, it’s been a while since I’ve done this, so it’s hard.”
Even if he fought for ten days and nights, he was not tired.
Beads of sweat were forming on Limon’s forehead just by this short performance.
All the collected information is made into a melody, and irregular noise is refined into a performance to find a single flow.
It was not an easy task for Limon, who had the senses of a sword master, the experience of Kang-ho Noh, and the intuition of a dragon psionic.
Especially when clues are scarce like now.
Still, it’s a shame because there was information I found out while interrogating the prisoners.
Without that, it would have been difficult to find what I was looking for after playing all day.
‘Anyway, now I know a little bit.’
Still, it was worth the hard work.
By organizing the irregular information, Limon was able to make a vague inference about the ghost who robbed the secret bank.
Is it because the information is incomplete?
Or is it because of Seven Arcs’ influence?
I couldn’t figure out the culprit’s appearance or ability.
However, thanks to an intuition close to precognitive, I was able to feel at least two facts.
One is their means of escape.
And the other one….
‘It wasn’t the Seven Arcs that they stole.’
The real purpose of the liberation brigade’s raid on the secret bank.
Of course, that’s just speculation.
It was not much different from the fortune teller’s divination, which had no evidence.
However, the sword master’s intuition convinced him that the guess was at least more likely than absurd.
“Hey boss. I’ll ask you…”
So the moment he turned to Charlotte to confirm his guess.
Limon hesitated.
It seems like everything is boring.
I always just make a lazy face.
An ecstatic smile appeared on Charlotte’s face, who sometimes showed only a slight interest.
Above all, the greed that fills those beautiful golden eyes is not only honest, but also feels pure.
It made the sword master, who had lived for hundreds of years, feel something along with a chill running down his spine.
‘…I feel like I made a mistake.’
Just a while ago, he was haughty and arrogant like a trainer trying to tame a hound.
However, seeing Charlotte’s eyes, which were now thicker, tenacious and dangerous, Limon couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
