#656. It can’t be.
Seventy-Seventh Federation of China.
of many countries around the world.
A powerful country with a number of territories and populations.
But more than anything else, what made the Commonwealth of China unique was the existence of Ganghu Wurim.
In a world where countless ordinary people live like rivers and lakes, the world of Dosan Geomrim is inhabited by warriors who risked their lives to learn.
It wasn’t even voted on.
It is not hereditary like a throne.
Even though the country is run by 77 clans that gained hegemony by force.
Be different like African warlords.
Closer than the Russian Khanate.
They are united like the Holy Alliance.
It’s just as free as America.
As systematic as Europe.
The structure of the Commonwealth of China, in which 77 separate countries form a single great power through alliances, is truly bizarre.
Some scholars in other countries even gave up on understanding it at all.
What is clear is that the Commonwealth of China is also one of the world’s leading powers.
In particular, as the territory is wide, there are countless talented people, so if you only count the number of high-level players, there is no country beyond the Commonwealth of China.
But that’s how hard it is to climb.
High-level players, of course.
Even if you are a ducal level player over level 80 and you can go anywhere, you are regarded as one of the countless masters in the Chinese Federation.
Among them, only a handful of superhumans were able to spread their fame to other countries.
[White-haired witch is an alias that sounds scary.]
“She is actually a scary master.”
“Chao, is that enough for you to rate it?”
“yes.”
So it was.
Li Qingyu tilted his head at Wei Ling’s report.
Although not comparable to the rest of her aides who are all geniuses, she also reached the level of a master at a young age.
It was rare for her to hold a high opinion of a master who was not the Seven Dragons.
But Wei Ling had a reason.
“There are dozens of factions destroyed by the white-haired witch who suddenly appeared a few months ago.”
“A master like that isn’t that rare, right?”
“It is said that among those who were defeated that way, Grand Duke Fuma and his sworn brother were also mentioned.”
“…that’s definitely great.”
Li Qingyu, of course.
Yuna-kyung, who had been listening intently, also opened her eyes wide when she heard the words.
[Wait a minute, isn’t Grand Duke Fungma one of the eight great masters of the Chinese Federation?]
“That’s right.”
[Besides, I know that all five demons, his brother-in-law, were duke-level players and were leading a fairly large guild…]
“500 masters from nearby munpas, including their six demon gates, were defeated together.”
[Is that possible?!]
“It would be impossible normally.”
Yuna-kyung’s astonishment.
Li Qingyu calmly accepted.
Limon, who beats even monarchs and demonic sword masters, is just an abnormal being.
Originally, even a large supply player is a superman who can overturn a small country by himself.
What if he single-handedly defeated hundreds of masters, including numerous duke-level players?
There were only two answers.
“Unless you’re a unique big-supply player like the specter of the Liberation Brigade or a superhuman of the absolute class.”
[…Are superhumans of the absolute class so common in the Commonwealth of China?]
“Right. The stronghold is wide and there are many recluses… but I don’t think there are superhumans of the absolute class that we haven’t figured out.”
[Then, where did that white-haired witch come from?]
“I’m curious about that too.”
Somewhat high.
At least, even if it was at the level of a large supply player, he would have been willing to do that.
This is the Iron Age.
It was a common era for an ordinary housewife beggar to acquire a unique skill in a remote dungeon and become a high-level player.
However, the superhuman of the absolute class is an existence that can change the world alone.
To think that such a person would appear like a drop from the sky and break through the strongholds, defeating various factions.
Wei Ling deserved a special report.
“Why did this report only come out now?”
“It is said that the munpa who were defeated by the white-haired witch kept their mouths shut to protect their honor.”
“Isn’t that why I shouldn’t have heard of this?”
“That’s…”
Wei-ling blurted out.
Li Qingyu, who understood the situation with just that, smiled.
“It looks like our branch was among the destroyed clans.”
“It seems that the Hwayangseonga and Gwangjuo family’s secular families were in trouble and delayed reporting until they completed their own investigation.”
“Isn’t it to hide your family’s shame?”
“…I have nothing to say.”
“I would have said. There is no need for Chao to apologize on behalf of others.”
After shaking my head slightly.
she spoke calmly.
“After all, this is because I forcibly disbanded the Council of Elders.”
In the first place, the role of the elders is to help the princess and lead the clan.
However, she scheming to get rid of the elders who were against the marriage with Limon, retired them and disbanded the elders’ council.
The result was dominance over the clan.
And it was a huge workload.
No matter how much she has superhuman work ability, there are limits.
Disputes with other clans.
The fight against the World Federation, etc.
I couldn’t deal with the affairs of Leviathan and the Black Dragon Clan while dealing with all the things that happened in succession.
It was unavoidable that such a problem occurred in the Commonwealth of China, which had been away for over a year.
“Although we should hold Sunga-ju and Oh-gaju accountable for this.”
…Of course, I had no intention of looking after those who delayed such an important report.
Did Li Qingyu feel something when he smiled?
After trembling,
Wei Ling said calmly.
“Still, there are a few things I found out about the white-haired witch thanks to Hwayangseonga and Gwangjuoga.”
“What?”
“The fact that there was a strange movement in the doorway that the white-haired witch defeated… and that it may be connected to the doorway of ghosts.”
“…Is this information clear?”
“I can’t say for sure, but it’s clear that her activities began near the hometown of Ghost Gate.”
“okay.”
after thinking for a while.
Li Qingyu calmly opened his mouth.
“Please continue to investigate that white-haired witch. The whereabouts, if possible.”
“Yes, Princess.”
Anyway, gathering information about the absolute class is essential.
In particular, if you don’t know if there is even a point of contact with the ghost gate, you need to know as much as possible.
After speaking quietly.
Li Qingyu suddenly asked.
“By the way, did you say that the white-haired witch, Chao, was a young gray-haired female swordsman?”
“yes. Unfortunately, he always wears a bamboo rib, so he said he couldn’t secure a portrait.”
“I couldn’t even check his face, so are you sure he has gray hair?”
“Is there any reason to be called a white-haired witch if you don’t have gray hair?”
“Well…”
Li Qingyu made a strange expression.
A superman of the absolute class.
A white-haired female swordsman with a sword.
It was because there was a person who came to mind when adding the two.
Of course, it is absurd that the World Federation, which is busy confronting the Seven Dragons, wastes its already lacking core strength on such a thing.
It was less likely, especially given that all the people who witnessed the white-haired witch were still alive…
“Anyway, please proceed with the investigation with the utmost care. Just in case, I’ll go out on my own.”
“Is there any need for that? I’d rather ask the swordsman…”
“No, I can’t do that.”
After shaking my head slightly.
Quietly looking across the sky.
Li Qingyu asserted in a low voice.
“Once the World Federation’s plan begins, it will be the Silver Dragon clan who will really need the swordsmith’s help from now on.”
* * *
“Hmm.”
It took a long time to knock on the table.
After putting down the document you were reading.
Limon asked casually.
“So you didn’t find out anything more?”
“Ah, I’m sorry to say that. This alone is information that Kana and the kids worked hard to find out.”
“Well, it’s all about the tail being cut off, right?”
“That’s unavoidable.”
A silver-haired girl sitting cross-legged at a table.
Ekathrice shrugged and continued with a mischievous smile.
“No matter how talented our children are, they don’t have the talent to bring the dead back to life and make them sing.”
“It’s been bothering me.”
Limon clicked his tongue.
It was good to get the cooperation of the silver dragon clan. Thanks to that, the person who sold the auction item for the first time was able to quickly identify it.
The problem is that that person is already dead.
That’s why Limon couldn’t help but put on a suspicious expression.
“Are you sure you bought this?”
“First of all, the police investigation concluded that it was an accident caused by excessive drinking, and at first glance, there is nothing suspicious.”
“It’s a different story if the culprit was dipping his foot in arms trafficking and right after he got his hands on a fortune.”
“Yeah, it’s because we haven’t yet confirmed where the proceeds from selling it are put.”
“Do you think it’s tail cutting too?”
“Well, isn’t it too early to decide now?”
Whether it’s the result of a fight over money.
Whether it’s a tosagupaeng that was used and discarded.
Or a really accidental accident.
As long as there are not enough clues, it is necessary to keep all possibilities open.
Looking at Yekathrice, who rarely spoke logically, Limon made an unexpected expression.
“Why are you saying the right thing?”
“Don’t ignore me brother. I say something sane at least once a year?”
“Come on, I will ignore your words for the next year.”
“Is that what the older brother will say to the younger brother?”
“Don’t keep calling me oppa. I will settle down.”
“Whooping, no matter how much oppa denies it, the heavenly principles won’t change, right?”
“Why don’t you say that after checking your genealogy first?”
Maybe it was because I was quite happy to hear her voice.
When Limon clicked his tongue as he watched Yekathrice sway with a higher tension than usual.
Ainsha, who had been watching the two men and women flirting amicably, opened her mouth with an expressionless face.
“Lee, I want to know what to do now.”
“Okay. Usually, the most standard way is to search through the broken tail first, but…”
Limon scratched his cheek.
Of course, the people surveillance system of the Russian Khanate is the best in the world.
In addition to the notorious Okrana and the KGB, if you go out and search for the Silver Dragon clan, something will come out.
However, I couldn’t be more worried about how long it would take to search the details of someone who had already died several months ago.
It seems that Limon lost his thoughts.
Yekathrice suddenly said with her eyes shining.
“Brother, I have a good idea.”
“What are you thinking?”
“How about doing a backtrack?”
“…How do you think we got here?”
Limon with eyes like looking at a crazy bitch.
To him, Yekathrice flicked her outstretched index finger from side to side and said.
“No, not from the auction, but from the other side.”
“The other side?”
“Anyway, the source of this object has been decided, right? Then you can ask someone who knows about it.”
“Hmm…”
Limon narrowed his eyes.
It was because there was some truth in Yekathrice’s words.
After all, there are plenty of people to conduct general investigations, so there was nothing to lose by digging in from the other side.
More than anything, I guessed who the ‘person to know’ she was talking about was.
After thinking, he opened his mouth.
“Is he doing well?”
