#312. Do you have a cheat key?
If it was Limon, he would be able to rob Apophis’ warehouse.
Watching Ainsha cheering passionately with infinite faith and trust with an expressionless face, press your temples for a moment.
Limon quietly opened his mouth.
“Silly princess, I am a swordsman, not a robber.”
“I like that thief too.”
“…It means that I have no intention of plundering in the first place.”
“…?”
It’s like I don’t understand what you mean.
When Ainsha tilted her head because she was expressionless, Li Qingyu calmly asked.
“Do you have a plan?”
“It’s not to the point of being called a conspiracy. I just know an expert on these things.”
“Expert… you mean?”
“okay.”
Li Qingyu put on a puzzled expression.
An economic war between the Seven Dragons is a major event unprecedented in history.
Even if the golden lord could take advantage of this gap, he wouldn’t be able to help solve the situation.
It was because I had no idea who the expert was and why Limon was confident in solving the problem so calmly.
Seeing her like that, Limon smiled.
“Why is there only one? A great man who is no different from a cheat key who is well-versed in both war and internal affairs.”
“…ah.”
the moment I heard that.
Li Qingyu finally realized.
Who is the expert Limon said and why is he so confident in solving the problem?
“Are you thinking of bringing him?”
“If you do this, you will be able to sort things out soon. There are still things I have asked for.”
Limon laughed.
And he smiled a bit wickedly, thinking of someone who was an expert in resolving such difficult situations magically.
“Isn’t networking meant to be used at times like this?”
* * *
There are two main types of bosses.
One is the type of commander who has an excellent eye for recognizing talented people and appoints competent subordinates to run the organization.
One is the type of genius who excels in his own abilities and takes the lead in solving all problems.
Each has its pros and cons, but it was common for them to have no problem playing the role of ruler even if they became proficient in only one of the two types.
Of course, that’s ‘normal’.
The one who governs a huge organization.
In particular, those who ruled a country needed to be proficient in both types.
This is because there is a limit to ruling with one’s own talent, and it is difficult to make a bold decision by relying only on the servants.
What if you can’t do both?
It is inevitable to be kicked out of the ruler’s seat or to ruin the country.
“…so.”
In that sense, she was clearly an outstanding ruler.
Although it was a while ago, I had successfully led a fairly large country.
But at this moment.
She couldn’t help but put on a strange look at a difficult problem she had never faced even when ruling the world’s most powerful empire.
“Are you asking me to come up with a solution?”
“That’s how it is.”
“Don’t you think that’s a little too much to ask for?”
[It’s not too much…]
In response to her question, Yuna-kyung casually nodded and murmured.
However, Limon did not raise an eyebrow.
“Well, from my point of view, it seems possible enough for you.”
old fashioned dress.
Dark red curly hair like blood.
To the tear point under the left eye.
Looking at the bewitching beauty who exudes a charm that is so erotic that even the same woman’s heart beats, Limon continued to say sarcastically.
“is not it? Your Majesty the Emperor Caesar.”
“I told you to call me Sir, baby.”
One of the first witches who stole magic from a god with a bloodline of a demigod and demigod, and the emperor who led the strongest empire.
Circe.
Or the woman called Caesar.
Shir said as if he was really dumbfounded.
“Now that the 27 lineage children’s succession is over, I’m just breathing a sigh, but isn’t it really too much to call them out and ask them to do something like this?”
“Don’t you know that slaves are originally a law that has to be rolled without giving them a chance to rest?”
“That’s an old story.”
“What about the old days? Even just 100 or 200 years ago, this level of treatment for slaves was undeserved.”
Yuna-kyung put on a tired expression at the words that treated hundreds of years as nothing.
However, the thousands-year-old Archwitch, who surpassed even Limon in terms of age, took that fact for granted.
“So you forgot that the white slaves started the revolution?”
“If you want to make a revolution, try it.”
“I don’t want to die yet.”
Eventually, Sir raised the white flag.
Even if she was the legendary Archwitch, she had no chance of winning in a fight against Limon.
“So you should have accepted it when I suggested a collaborator.”
“You would have known that it was me.”
Sir was truly sorry.
I thought that as long as the London situation was resolved, even if I didn’t get involved with Limon or get involved, I would only have to give a little help once every few years.
I never thought I’d get an order like this in a few months.
She already regretted signing a 20-year slave contract.
But now it’s impossible to break the contract.
After stopping his grumbling, Sir asked a little more seriously.
“So, what are you specifically asking me to do?”
“The old woman’s family has to come up with a solution.”
“Don’t force yourself. Although I have lived a little longer, there is no way I have had the experience of resolving such a large-scale economic war.”
Shir just cut it off.
Of course, she was the absolute emperor who reigned as the emperor of the Roman Empire.
At one time, he had world domination as his goal, so he had a management plan that was different from that of most rulers.
But that was an incident over two thousand years ago.
It is an ancient thing when the concept of economy itself, let alone economic war, had not yet been established.
Asking her to solve this situation was more absurd than developing a smartphone for a blacksmith who had passed her sixtieth birthday.
“Don’t be rude.”
Limon snorted at Syrr’s words.
And he said it like a poke.
“Even if you have never solved an economic war, you must have experienced food shortages many times.”
That moment.
Sir made a strange expression.
No matter how much times have changed, famines and food shortages have certainly existed in the distant past.
But the Roman Empire, at least during her reign, never suffered from food shortages, no matter how severe the famine.
One reason.
It was thanks to some treasure their emperor had.
“You mean Dagda’s Cauldron (Undry)?”
“A cornucopia would be better, but that would be difficult for even a hag.”
“…Oh, you’re talking really nonsense.”
Sir sighed.
Because I realized it too late.
In the first place, what Limon expected from himself was not the solution of Emperor Caesar, but the power of the Archwitch Circe.
That this old-fashioned swordsman had no intention of responding to the economic sanctions, which made his head hurt. Instead
, he was going to try
the way he knew better… that is, the old way of solving everything with swords, magic, and treasures.
Likewise, Ainsha, who understood Limon’s purpose, shook her head.
“I’ve heard of Dagda’s Cauldron.”
“Ainsha, if you know it, it must be the name of a magic tool, right?”
“That’s right. It is said to have fed the entire population during a famine in the Roman Empire in the past, and it is a sacred food that produces infinite food.
[yes? Did you feed the entire nation with just one cauldron?]
Yuna-kyung widened her eyes.
As much as she had seen the showdown in London, she had experienced how outrageous things could be done with magic.
But even Yuna-kyung couldn’t believe that such a treasure existed.
“Is that possible?”
It was the same with Li Qingyu.
Even as a woman who had seen the magic of archwitches and saints countless times… no, that’s why she knew how amazing it was.
However, as a priest of the Holy League, Ainsha, who knows the history of magic well, nodded.
“Even if it’s new, it’s usually difficult. So Dagda’s Cauldron was a national treasure of the Roman Empire.”
The Roman Empire ruled the world.
The reason why the war of conquest was actively waged.
It was not only thanks to Sir’s magic, but also the power exerted by Dagda’s cauldron.
Because there was that treasure that produced infinite food, they were able to withstand any famine and fight on expeditions without worrying about food supplies.
“It is as you say. Dagda’s Cauldron was certainly one of the greatest treasures of the Silver Age.”
Sir readily agreed.
A divine object created and given to humans by the great old god An Dagda, who was even called the father of the gods in Celtic mythology.
It is said that among the treasures comparable to the London battle system in terms of effectiveness alone, Dagda’s cauldron was the treasure.
“But that can no longer be used.”
[yes? Why?]
“It was broken when I was sealed in the London battle world.”
Sir said languidly.
The fight between her, then called the Demon King, and the three Great Witches, called the Lady of the Lake, was one of the fiercest battles in the Silver Age.
It was a fierce battle that left even the sick things smashed.
Hearing this, Li Qingyu looked back at Li Mon with a strange face.
“Didn’t you know that swordsmith Dagda’s cauldron was broken?”
“I knew.”
“Then why did you call Sir…?”
“I can’t believe why.”
Limon slightly curved his lips.
“If it’s broken, just make it again.”
[Who is it?]
“Who is that? The old woman here.”
[…Wait. Didn’t you say that Dagda’s cauldron was made by a very great god?]
“Yes.”
[But is it possible to make something like that?]
“Absolutely impossible.”
It was Ainsha with an expressionless face who answered Limon’s steadfast question.
“It is divine because it was created by God. Archwitches and adults can’t make divine objects themselves, even if they can make divine magic tools.”
“Usually it is.”
Limon readily agreed.
Magic is originally a gift from God.
It was a power created so that humans could imitate the miracles of God interfering with providence itself.
But in the end, imitation is imitation.
No matter how much she reached the pinnacle of magic, even a great witch or an adult could not exceed the power of the incarnation that descended to the ground.
Even the London battle system, which was the strongest magic in the Silver Age, was finally completed with the help of a god.
“But you’re no ordinary Archwitch.”
Even though he knew that fact better than anyone else, Limon did not hesitate to answer.
I just looked back at Sir, who was still making a strange expression, and asked maliciously.
“is not it? Demon King.”
the silver age of the past.
rebelling against the gods
Build the world’s most powerful country.
The Queen of Sorcery was finally able to be sealed after the gods teamed up with the three great witches to create a showdown in London.
The best witch of the Silver Age, a legend even among the great witches, sighed lightly at the end of looking at Limon.
“Even if you say such a thing, it would be embarrassing to answer that you can’t.”
“Because that’s what I mean.”
It’s like I’m tired of that shamelessness.
Let’s look at Limon for a while.
Shir finally opened his mouth with a chuckle.
“Yes, baby, if you really ask for it, I can make it for you.”
“Of course it should.”
Developing a smartphone for a blacksmith who is over 60 years old may be unreasonable.
However, it is not unreasonable for a legendary master to create a master sword.
Cyr stretched out three fingers at Limon, who snorted, and said languidly.
“But, honey, to do the obvious thing you said, you have to solve three difficult problems.”
