#352. It’s a perfect ploy.

“Let me tell you?”
“yes.”
“hey. Still, there is jjambab. Should I run errands for this rank?”
“What can I do? Neither I nor anyone else have access at all.”
“Can’t I give you that authority? Now that I’m acting as the master, I have the authority to give you authority, right?”
“If you want to give it, give it to me. Even so, there won’t be any guild members to run errands for you.”
“Okay.”
Oriental-style scale armor, Western-style silver gauntlets, and Middle Eastern-style red turban.
A man who was dressed in clothes of unknown nationality in many ways.
Nam Nam-mun let out a pained voice when he heard the boy wearing the glasses.
It was because there was no guild member willing to take on a job that even he was reluctant to do.
“I didn’t become a deputy guild leader to do this…”
“Then quit. Of course, you will have to return the items owned by the guild that you borrowed.”
“Oh, who said no? can’t you do it! if!”
Are you worried that the item might be stolen?
Nam Ki-moon hurriedly left the room, hiding his hand behind his gauntlet.
Then, as I got into the elevator, I groaned.
“I haven’t been able to go to in-depth raids these days, so it’s hard to pay the installments, so why am I the only one pecking?”
ding.
“Should I run a low-level raid? No, that doesn’t pay off, either.”
Wei Ying.
“If there were Liberation Brigade guys, it would have been a good way to earn pocket money, but why do they all withdraw from the country…. Anyway, it doesn’t help.”
Nam Nam-moon constantly grumbled in the elevator.
Even though he is difficult to find an opponent among the players who supply large numbers as he is the deputy guild leader of the old guild.
To think that he had to act as a messenger.
It was a dissatisfaction for him, who wanted to run more raids at a time like this and use the money to buy new items.
But what can I do?
There is a stomach above.
ding.
The elevator finally stops and we arrive at the lowest floor.
Arriving in front of an iron gate made of alloy from Dungeons, Nam Nam-moon shut his mouth as if everything he had been talking about was a lie.
Then, he placed his palm on the recognition device next to him.
After the light emitted from the recognizer scanned him from head to toe.
Wei Ying.
The thick iron door opens.
The interior landscape was revealed.
‘Huh…’
Nam Nam-moon groaned as he looked at the vast dome-shaped space made of alloys from Dungeons on all sides.
It wasn’t just because of the scratches that were so densely carved on the wide walls that it was hard to find any gaps, and the heap of debris piled up in the middle of the dome.
the moment you open the door.
A chilly air seeped from within.
The feeling of entering a boss room on the 90th floor or higher in a dungeon made him nervous.
Because of that, even if I left the door open, I couldn’t get inside and hesitated.
“Is there a problem?”
A few rooms inside the dome.
Among them, Nam Ki-moon was taken aback by the calm voice he heard in a place where even the lights were turned off and there was only thick darkness.
“Hmmm, you were there.”
“Please answer first. I would have told you not to disturb me if it were not for the slightest.”
I coughed to hide my embarrassment.
I scratched my head at the callous urging that the effort was worthless.
“I know that. But isn’t there a place you told me to give priority to when you get a call?”
“…Did you hear from Leviathan?”
“Yes, they asked for some business cooperation. For details…”
“Accept the request.”
“yes?”
“I told them to listen to whatever cooperation they asked for.”
“Is that okay?”
Nam Nam-moon couldn’t contain his absurd feelings.
I didn’t even explain it yet, but I didn’t know that this unconditional permission would be given.
But there was no answer.
Only the cold-blooded congratulatory order fell.
“If your business is over, please go.”
“That… besides Leviathan, there have been important calls from the Blue House and other places.”
“Do it yourself.”
“I did it earlier if I could do it on my own. It’s something I can’t decide…”
“I’m not interested.”
In the end, Nam Nam-moon couldn’t even properly play the role of messenger and had no choice but to leave the dome as if he were being kicked out.
Putting aside that indifferent attitude, I couldn’t bear the unspoken pressure that grew stronger the more I endured.
‘Because of this, no one wants to come here.’
I used to be indifferent to other people’s business.
Still, as a guild master, he personally took care of the guild’s important agenda.
It’s not enough that you’ve been ignoring them for months already. Just visiting them gives off such a frost-like energy.
Nam Nam-mun had no choice but to stick out his tongue.
‘It wasn’t like this when Chief Park was around… Where the hell did that man go?’
After looking at the iron door with suspicious eyes, he finally got on the elevator with a sigh.
One of the Eight Great Lords.
Leaving behind Infinite Lord Lee Chun-gi.
Nam Nam-moon left to give instructions to the guild members.
* * *
“How did it go?”
“We have been informed that we will cooperate fully.”
“Now I can buy myself a little more time.”
“yes. According to the cooperation letter sent from there, it seems possible to maintain the situation for about a month in Korea only.”
“Is it a month…”
The black-haired girl pondered over the words as if calculating something.
Li Qingyu nodded.
Then, in a calm voice, he gave instructions to Youin, who had come to visit him to report the results.
“Please respond to the economic sanctions by cooperating with the Infinity Guild as planned. It’s okay to lose money, so it’s a way to buy more time as much as possible.”
“All right.”
Youin bowed politely and left the drawing room.
It was because, as the general manager of the Leviathan Hotel, he needed to be busy as he became the head of this business collaboration.
After Yo-in went out like that.
It was a dull voice that brought Li Qingyu, who was lost in thought, into reality.
“I was surprised.”
Hearing this, Li Qingyu remembered that he was dealing with a customer and raised his head.
“What do you mean Ainsha?”
“Infinity Guild is the old guild. They usually don’t cooperate. I wonder what trick he used.”
A white-haired girl sitting across from Li Qingyu.
Ainsha asked expressionlessly.
The Seven Dragons and Guilds are basically competing for wealth and power.
As such, most of them had a bad relationship with the members of the Chilryonghoe, whose business or regional territories overlapped.
However, it was so easy to get cooperation like this.
I was just curious about the secret.
…For something like that, it was really embarrassing to ask what kind of ploy he used.
Like the Black Dragon Princess, Li Qingyu, accustomed to such doubts, smiled at the absurd false accusation.
“It wasn’t really a ploy. Thanks to the swordsmith, I only had a little connection with the Infinity Guild.”
To move the old guild with a little bit of kite.
Others would have questioned whether that made sense.
But Ainsha agreed.
“As expected, Lee. great.”
Limon made the kite, and Li Qingyu obtained the cooperation of the Infinity Guild.
For a while, he was proud with an expressionless face as if he had accomplished something big.
Ainsha said suddenly.
“But in the end it is pouring water into the desert. There is no answer unless you use your hands quickly.”
“I guess so.”
Li Qingyu readily agreed with her.
Compared to the Demiurge Guild or the Midas Guild, the Infinity Guild’s economic influence was on the lower side among the old guilds.
It would be easier to respond to economic sanctions if we cooperated with each other, but even so, it is only a temporary measure.
If this continues, not only this country, but also the Holy League and the Chinese Federation’s economy will collapse.
“I want to know if Lee hasn’t contacted me yet.”
In that sense, it was natural for Ainsha to ask about Limon.
One way to solve this situation.
All they had to do was make Dagda’s cauldron and supply food.
Once the food problem was resolved, the rest of the economic sanctions could have been dealt with with some difficulty.
But Li Qingyu shook his head.
“I’m sorry.”
“The rough news is also good.”
“It is a story that includes that. It is difficult to obtain information on the African side.”
The current situation in Africa was so confusing that even the fact that Limon had become Hasneti’s concubine had to be obtained through the newspaper.
In particular, it was more difficult to grasp the trend of Limon in the palace.
That’s why Li Qing-yu could only tell a theoretical story based on speculation.
“If you had obtained the turkey feathers, you would have brought them right away, so the search will take time.”
“It’s dangerous if you drag it out.”
“Do not worry too much. Thanks to the cooperation of the Infinity Guild, we have some time to spare.”
“I am not talking about economic sanctions.”
“Then what is the danger?”
It seems there is nothing to guess.
Li Qingyu tilted her head slightly.
Looking at her like that, Ainsha had a pathetic look on her expressionless face.
“This is Lee Hasnetty’s side room now. If you find out, you will be in big trouble.”
“Isn’t that a giwoo? Even I don’t have the confidence to see through the swordsmith’s disguise right now.”
“Even if you don’t get caught, it’s a problem. Li has an eighth dragon psionic. No matter how much you hide it, if you are a princess, you are instinctively drawn to it.”
The proof is that Hasneti made Limon his concubine.
I guess that’s why I’m not feeling well these days.
Looking at Ainsha’s expressionless assertion, Li Qingyu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Ainsha’s argument that the eighth dragon’s psionic nature is more dangerous as time goes by is certainly valid.
“It will be fine.”
However, Li Qingyu was not particularly anxious.
He just raised his teacup and spoke calmly.
“At least, unless Hasneti proves herself worthy, the swordsman will never accept her.”
So you don’t have to worry about cutting in line.
Li Qingyu, who spoke calmly and took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and added a word.
“Besides, if you put it that way, Rose, who has been with the swordsman for a longer time than Hasneti, would be more dangerous.”
“I’m not joking. Rose is not Li Qingyu. I never commit foul play.”
Ainsha, who was anxious about Hasneti, also expressedly affirmed Li Qingyu’s words.
“Besides, there is also Li Qingyu’s scheme.”
“What do you mean?”
“I know that the reason you asked Lee to look like him when he was young is to keep Rose in check.”
No matter how naive Rose was, no matter how much dragon psionic he had, he wouldn’t see Limon as a man just because he had the appearance of a young boy.
So, did you deliberately make Limon wear that kind of camouflage?
Seeing Ainsha speak bluntly, Li Qingyu smiled.
“I don’t know why you misunderstand. I was just recommending a disguise that is least likely to be discovered by a swordsman.”
“Then I want to know why the blue bird was sent.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Anyway, not a single bird helps to find the turkey. Instead, they always talk next to me and give me colic. It’s an assassin that’s perfect for containment.”
“The reason why you sent blue was purely because you wanted to help the swordsmith?”
“The cause is great. Rose and Hasneti are kept in check to protect the royal family. It is a perfect ploy.”
“…Ainsha, can you believe me for a little bit?”
Let’s talk like that for a while.
The two soon forgot their worries about Limon and continued discussing the policy of responding to economic sanctions.
Although Hasneti was a bit uneasy, it was because there was no way Rose would cut Limon in line by ignoring the agreement of the Seven Dragons.
She is the Blue Dragon Princess.
It was the conscience of the Seven Dragons, the most noble and sincere of the seven princesses.
