#908. Since the collapse of the World Federation,
there is no such thing as absolute .
The 7th guild has completely collapsed.
No, in fact, even the word collapse was not enough.
Most of the 7 guilds have already been annihilated or disbanded, and the heads of the lords were the same.
Thanks to that, it was the countries and forces that were closely related to each guild that were suddenly driven into a corner.
Places where the forces of the Seven Dragons and the World Federation were in a tight balance, such as the United States of America and the Commonwealth of China, were better.
The fact that they were in balance meant that there were forces attached to the Seven Dragons.
If you were subjugated or absorbed by that side, you would be able to receive the protection of the Seven Dragons, albeit indirectly.
On the other hand, the situation was very bad in places where there was no contact with the Seven Dragons or where the influence of the World Federation was strong.
The collapse of the World Federation.
Especially after the divine lord’s breakout.
It was because the Seven Dragons were tracking them.
In particular, the Free Cities Federation, which was ruled by the Creator Lord, and the Vatican, which had the Holy Lord at its apex, were subject to strict surveillance.
So it was.
Why did Yekathrice laugh?
“Anyway, Li Qingyu, you are really great too. To even predict that they would contact the Republic of Korea and plant the President as a spy.”
“It wasn’t very difficult. The places where they can get supplies are limited.”
I don’t know if it’s an individual.
It is difficult to hide the entire force.
From simple food to clothing and other daily necessities.
This is because the amount of materials consumed by hundreds of people is more than expected.
In particular, it is almost impossible to secretly receive a large amount of supplies for more than a few months while avoiding the eyes of the Seven Dragons, who have dominated the world’s wealth.
At least national assistance was needed.
That’s why Li Ching-yu put his hands on various countries including the Republic of Goryeo in advance.
As long as you are monitoring the Free Cities League and the Vatican.
It was a predetermined outcome that the remnants of the World Federation would someday come into contact with other countries.
As it had already been abandoned by the Seven Dragons, the Republic of Korea, driven into a corner, was the most likely candidate.
“The president is so great. It wouldn’t have been easy to join hands with us.”
“Fortunately, he wasn’t a president foolish enough to defy the trend.”
“Yeah, that’s why it’s even more pitiful.”
grow up
laughing a little mischievously
Yekathrice continued meaningfully.
“Because Li Qingyu, don’t you have any particular intention to save that country?”
“It can’t be. As much as we promised with our ancestors, we intend to provide a price for cooperation.”
Li Qingyu chuckled.
No matter how much he was cornered, Shin Myung-wun was not foolish enough to deceive the monarch without paying anything.
When the World Federation came in contact one day, instead of acting as spies, they were promised enough aid to save the country from collapse.
And Li Qingyu had no intention of breaking that promise.
nevertheless.
No, that’s why Catherine smiled even deeper.
“So that’s what I’m saying. If he really wanted to save the country, he would have asked for our cooperation.”
The Seven Dragons Association is an alliance of clans.
Although East Asia is the territory of the Black Dragon Clan, all clans were the same in isolating the Republic of Goryeo.
Even if Li Qingyu supported the Republic of Korea, it would be nothing but peeing on the ground.
A product of the Silver Dragon clan.
The culture of the White Dragon clan.
Logistics of the Blue Dragon clan.
The power of the Red Dragon Clan.
Finance of the Golden Dragon clan.
Even the green dragon clan’s medical care.
As long as there is no support from Seven Dragon Corporation, which dominates everything in the present era.
Although it was possible to overcome the economic crisis right away, it would not be possible to avoid the country gradually declining.
“I can’t help it. It is one thing for me to do a deal and for you to invest in this country.”
I couldn’t have known that fact.
Instead of asking for cooperation from other clans, the princess of the Black Dragon clan finished the transaction neatly and smiled.
Yekathrice chuckled.
“Anyway, Li Qingyu, you are also very cruel. Halfway hope is more desperate than despair.”
“That statement is a bit surprising. I just made a deal that we can both be satisfied with.”
“Well, drugs are good medicine for terminal cancer patients.”
“…You’re so unlucky, he too.”
Listening to the conversation between the two.
Rose smiled bitterly.
In the midst of the country being ruined by the mistake of the former president.
How deeply conflicted and worried Shin Myeong-wun must have been until he accepted Li Qing-yu’s proposal, even though he knew that it could be an advisor of hope.
Just thinking about it gave me sympathy.
But in the end that’s all.
Rose, as well as the other princesses, sympathized with Shin Myung-wun, but had no intention of showing mercy.
Whether as a clan princess.
Whether as the leader of a large group.
There was no reason to pour money into a country where the loss outweighed the gain even if it did business due to an economic collapse.
The downfall of the Republic of Korea is all the more in the sense that it is a predetermined result since they abandoned Limon in the end, drunk on the wealth and power given by the players.
Wei Ying.
“Hmm, were you already discussing it?”
“No, we were just making small talk.”
“Welcome, Swordsman.”
So it was.
The elevator door opens.
The moment Limon appeared in the Floating Garden.
The reason why they cut off their interest in the Republic of Korea and welcomed him.
No matter what the small country on the periphery was like, there was something else important right now.
Limon wasn’t the only one who appeared like that.
Yuna-kyung, who was riding on Limon’s shoulder, and Charlotte, who was accompanied by Elise, took their places with him.
Rose turned her gaze to Charlotte.
“How are you feeling, Charlotte?”
“It’s not like I’m worried about you.”
“I’m glad that’s the case.”
Contrary to what she said, Rose couldn’t hide her worries.
A bad complexion at a glance.
More than anything else, the fact that the always arrogant Charlotte didn’t say that she was fine was proving that her condition was not good.
During the fierce battle with Dreamroid, the aftereffects of being driven to the brink of the main fire were so great.
That’s why Li Qingyu dared to call them to Quetzalcoatl’s headquarters.
Of course, there were other reasons too.
“The sword spirit and Maia?”
“They said the test is going to be long, so go first.”
“Hmm, no matter how much Maia is, it seems that it is not easy to examine a child who has been brought back to life.”
“Well, the old woman said that there seems to be no problem for now. It will probably be fine.”
Sir, who observes the tattoo of a repairman who is running with excitement, and Maia, who is coldly conducting various tests.
Limon smiled as he recalled the running eagle that had fallen asleep while dozing off in annoyance.
But that’s for a while.
Limon asked again with a serious face.
“So what are you going to do now?”
“I was about to discuss that from now on.”
Li Qingyu calmly replied.
Even though Maia hadn’t come yet, there was no need to delay the discussion any longer since she had come all the way from Charlotte to Limon.
And among them, the first person to speak was a slightly unexpected person.
“Do we really need to discuss it?”
“What do you mean Hasneti?”
“Now that we know where they are, that means we have a job to do.”
“It is not wrong.”
Uncharacteristically of her always taciturn woman, Ekatriche agreed with a smile at Hasneti’s words, who briefly summarized the discussion.
Rose, on the other hand, hardened her face slightly.
“…Does that mean we don’t even have to discuss whether to capture them alive or not?”
“Is there any reason to keep him alive?”
“At least the Holy Lord has expressed neutrality.”
“If you really meant to stay neutral, would you have bothered to break out?”
“That’s right…”
Rose made a complicated expression.
The World Federation has already crossed the river of no return, but it would be right to kill them unconditionally.
It’s because I really liked it.
So she turned her gaze to Limon.
“What do you think, Swordsman?”
“well. Isn’t that something we should think about after catching them?”
“…You talk as if you might not catch them.”
“Because there is no absolute in this world.”
It seems that the word is unexpected.
When Charlotte narrows her eyes.
Ainsha tilted her head slightly with an expressionless face.
“There are only two monarchs left. I want to know if there is any reason to worry about missing it.”
“Aren’t you worried too much, oppa? If the information is clear, I think it will be harder to miss.”
Yekathrice also agreed with Ainsha.
Among the monarchs, the one who was ranked as the strongest in terms of combat power was the returning monarch, and the ones competing for success were the reincarnated monarch and the commander.
On the contrary, the Divine Lord and the Creator Lord belonged to the lowest rank among all the monarchs.
As healers and production players, their abilities were great, but they were weak in combat.
It was just a matter of finding it.
Their judgment was that it was only a matter of time before they could catch them as long as the location was already specified.
“No, the swordsman is right.”
So it was.
At Li Qingyu’s words, the girls couldn’t help but put on a slightly serious expression.
“…Do you think the World Federation still has hidden history?”
“Even if there is no hidden power, there may be tricks that can be used.”
“With overwhelming power, tricks can be ignored.”
“That way, you can’t be careless. They still have Seven Arcs.”
“Hmm.”
Yekathrice nodded.
The power hidden in the Seven Arcs is unknown.
Even a sword master who died hundreds of years ago was resurrected.
As long as Wanderer was dead, even if he couldn’t use the trick of reviving the lion again, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t commit an outrageous act comparable to him.
“The hiding place is a headache.”
“That’s right. Unexpected. I didn’t expect it at all.”
“It’s the perfect hideaway.”
Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.
The disappearance of the Creator Lord and Holy Lord, as well as the hundreds of guild members they led, continued to be a mystery.
Now that the World Federation has already collapsed and lost its influence.
The place where many of them could escape the pursuit of the Seven Dragons and hide was extremely limited.
That’s why I’ve been looking all over the place.
The place they reached after tracking the materials provided by Shin Myung-woon was a completely unexpected place.
“I never thought he was hiding in a dungeon…”
“It really is a place suitable for little mice.”
No matter how familiar players are with dungeons, dungeons are never a cozy place.
Traps and maze monsters and more.
It was a place full of many dangers where even a high-level player could die.
To stay hidden there for more than a few months is a perfect suicide.
Even the elite of the 7 guilds led by the two lords would have suffered considerable damage if they had been there all this time.
However, on the contrary, it also meant that it was a hiding place where you could completely disappear if you took such damage.
“Perhaps being wary of swordsmiths is the biggest reason for making the dungeon a hideout.”
“Because oppa can’t enter dungeons, right?”
“Yes, if you’re forced to, you can go in, but…”
“You can’t cause such a catastrophe in the middle of the city.”
Limon clicked his tongue.
When he forcibly enters, the dungeon collapses and blows away the entire surrounding area.
However, if people are evacuated in advance, the remnants of the World Federation will notice and run away.
Because I understand that fact.
Li Qingyu said calmly.
“As expected, we must deal with the remnants of the World Federation with our own strength.”
