#483. did you forget
It happened in an instant.
The right hand of Dances with Wolves breathed fire.
A beam of light emitted from the end at the speed of light pierced the wall and evaporated everything, drawing a trail of light across the night sky.
However, Limon did not even raise an eyebrow at the rays of light that brushed his cheeks.
I just spoke calmly.
“If you want to shoot, aim properly. Don’t just shoot into the air needlessly.”
“Shut up!”
If you talk more, it seems like you won’t let go.
He pointed the charged particle cannon protruding from his right arm at Limon and said with a growl.
“I am dancing with wolves! It’s not such a dirty name!”
“Yes, it wouldn’t be right to call you by a name you’ve already abandoned.”
After nodding quietly.
Limon asked quietly.
“Then why are you still clinging to the past you threw away along with your name?”
“I am doing what I have to do.”
“well. It seems to me that you have become more like Columbus because you have not forgotten your hatred for your grandfather.”
“Don’t just say it’s a pierced mouth!”
he gritted it.
I want to fire the charged particle cannon right now.
It is a secret that only Limon knows that he, the chief of the Continental Guardian, was the grandson of that filthy pirate.
So if you get rid of Limon, the name of Columbus III will be buried in darkness forever.
But he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Because he knew he couldn’t defeat Limon.
So, in Dances with Wolves, he chose the only thing he could do: argue with words.
“Where do you think I look like that pirate?”
“I really want to ask.”
Facing the red prosthesis of Dances with Wolves.
Limon spoke calmly.
“What is the difference between Columbus, who indiscriminately plundered against Indians, and you, who hates white people unconditionally?”
“Unlike him, I have a cause.”
“Columbus must have had the cause of freeing the white slaves in the beginning, too?”
“The result of what he did was a spirit uprising!”
“I don’t particularly want to defend Columbus, but I think it’s too far-fetched to put all the blame on your grandfather.”
about 500 years ago.
A time when racism was at its peak.
In North America, all whites were treated as slaves.
Of course, in ancient times, slavery was not so rare, and depending on the country, there were cases where workers were a little bit restricted.
However, the treatment of white slaves was particularly harsh.
Because they were traded cheaper than most livestock and were literally treated as subhuman.
One of those slaves was Columbus.
He was a European sailor.
He embarked on an ambitious voyage, believing that it would make money if he brought white people who had escaped from the North American continent to Europe.
Of course, the results were disastrous.
In the end, he was captured by the Continental Guardians and lost everything and became a slave.
12 years to spend such a harsh slave life.
Columbus, who managed to escape by killing his master, who was a shaman, miraculously found an artifact in the ancient ruins the owner was investigating.
That treasure is the Santa Maria.
It was an armored ship made by the Unmyeongsa of the Golden Age.
After acquiring that armored ship with overwhelming performance that cannot be imitated by any battleship of the present age.
Columbus set out for revenge.
They hunted and plundered the Indians indiscriminately.
In addition, he gradually increased his power by using the white people he saved in the process as sailors.
The Columbus Pirates, which were feared by the Indians of the North American continent, were born that way.
Killed anyone, young or old.
They plundered regardless of whether they were rich or poor.
Any woman was raped.
Their behavior outside India became more and more brutal, to the point that even the whites who initially admired Columbus as a liberator later felt fear.
The bigger problem is that thieves and bandits imitating Columbus have sprung up all over the continent.
The Continental Guardians, who were struggling just to chase the Golden Dragon clan, couldn’t afford to catch them.
In order to find a countermeasure, the unreasonable result is the Spirit Great War.
It was a disaster that resulted in numerous casualties, both white and Indian.
That’s why Limon couldn’t help but frown when he heard that Columbus was the main culprit of the spirit uprising.
“Columbus was certainly a bastard who was weak against the strong and strong against the weak.”
“I was also a monster who crossed the line that I shouldn’t have crossed because I was blinded by revenge.”
“It was also a garbage that killed illegitimate children as soon as they found them because they had Indian blood.”
“But in the end, it was your Continental Guardians who caused the spirit uprising.”
Limon calmly pointed out.
Dances with Wolves retorted.
“We were just trying to protect our land!”
“If you put it like that, the whole world will be your land. Because you are a race that once ruled not only this continent, but the whole world.”
golden age of the past.
We had the most elementals and shamans.
That’s why those who ruled not only the North American continent but the whole world with the power of spirits.
A race that even proved itself the loser of the world by naming the land on the other side of the world after them, India.
Indian.
However, during the Silver Age, world hegemony was lost.
During the Age of Bronze, even the North American continent, the mainland, was occupied by dragons.
The chief of the Continental Guard, obsessed with restoring the glory of the distant past, asked in retrospect.
“What do you mean by that?”
“…Do you really think so? Is the world originally yours just because you ruled it thousands of years ago?”
“Of course not!”
a long time ago.
Pursued by beasts like predators.
Humanity was dying without civilization or culture.
They defeated the beasts of predation, kept the peace of the savages, and delivered civilization.
Without them, there would be no humanity today, so it’s only natural that humanity respects them as the losers of the world.
At the end of watching him speak without wavering.
Limon said quietly.
“Little girl, you are too old.”
Dancing with the wolves frowned at what was too obvious to say to an old man who was already over 500 years old.
“What are you talking about again?”
“It’s not about age. It’s a way of life.”
caught up in the past
Falling behind the times.
The one who didn’t know how to move on.
Limon closed his eyes as he saw the old man, who knew nothing but to live as he had lived.
It was nothing new.
It’s just that those who have lived for over a thousand years, like Sir and Plato, adapt and adapt to the changes of the times.
In reality, even superhumans who have lived for hundreds of years…
No, because they are superhumans, most of them have not even reached the age of 100 and have a fixed way of life.
That’s the human limit.
An immortal who can live forever.
A mortal who can only postpone death.
Apart from lifespan, it was a wall that made even the immortal sword master go crazy, crossing superhumans and humans.
So Limon gave up persuasion.
The tenacity of dancing with wolves, who have grown old while still human, has been built up over hundreds of years.
Because it wasn’t something that could be changed with a few words.
It was more so because he hated white people more than anyone else, especially thanks to being a mixed race of Indians and whites.
In the end, there was only one way Limon could use.
“Don’t talk too long. Evacuate the citizens of this city immediately. Otherwise…”
“Are you going to kill me?”
“Everyone in the Continental Guardian will know the name you abandoned.”
“…!!!”
outright intimidation.
He widened his eyes at the words of Limon, which was also his only weakness and stabbed his private parts.
“Are you still the guardian of mankind for making such a petty threat!”
“That’s ridiculous nonsense.”
fed up
After one laugh.
Limon smiled coldly.
“Did you forget kid? When I fight against the enemies of mankind, I always use any means.”
No matter how strong you are, the world is not easy enough to always fight fair and honorably and defend it.
Even so, it is called the guardian deity of mankind.
The one who has protected the world until the end.
Looking at Limon, his face twisted as he danced with wolves.
The fact that he considered himself an enemy of mankind was so humiliating that he could not stand it.
So it was.
what he decided to do.
“Don’t underestimate! I am not a coward who gives up the cause for fear of tarnishing my honor.”
“Then I’ll have no choice but to force you to listen, even if I hold you hostage.”
“If you can, do it!”
Dancing with the wolves spewing life out of this gear.
The moment Limon, who had already anticipated such a reaction, reached out for the handle of the sword at his waist.
Koo Goo Goo!!!
The earth trembled.
When they stop at the shaking that is too strong and alien to be an earthquake.
A change has happened.
Geek.
Various machines and folk crafts lined the room.
Among those folk crafts, four masks opened their eyes and vomited strange mechanical sounds.
[1010010101100100111010011010100101.]
“…is this?”
“What!?”
A spirit without a spirit.
That’s why Limon’s eyes narrowed when he heard the spirit words that only a fallen runaway spirit could hear.
On the other hand, dancing with wolves opened their eyes.
Even if he wasn’t a Spirit Commander, as a Spirit Commander who had mastered the Spirit language, he knew what the words meant and what had happened.
“Nonsense! 500 years later, why…?”
[111011010001010.]
As if he couldn’t believe it.
For a while, I looked at the mask with a distrustful expression.
The one who danced with the wolf, whose hands were trembling, gritted his teeth and said.
“…I will cooperate.”
“what?”
“This means that we will cooperate in evacuating the citizens to save the Golden Dragon Princess.”
It seems that he has no intention of fighting any more.
Watching the dance with the wolf, who even inserted the charged particle cannon, Limon made a strange expression.
“You changed your mind pretty easily.”
“I haven’t changed my mind. It had to be changed.”
Dances with wolves lamented.
It would be false if there was no hatred for white people, but the foundation was a sense of mission to protect the continent for the Indians.
That’s why I couldn’t keep insisting.
This is the land of spirits.
In particular, as the chief of the Continental Guard who revere the spirits, he could not ignore the will of the spirits.
It was all the more so because the opponent was not an ordinary spirit.
One of the most important reasons.
“Anyway, my cooperation is no longer needed.”
“What is that…”
Limon fell silent.
It was because he felt it through the Sword Master’s super senses.
The vibration that was getting bigger and bigger suddenly calms down and what is happening now.
“…What are you doing?”
“See for yourself.”
Let’s wave our hands instead of answering this dance with the wolves.
The iron-clad wall opens.
What is revealed is the whole view of Rushmore.
The appearance of the Steel City, a mixture of antique antiques and cutting-edge machines, had a charm that made viewers admire themselves.
but this moment.
No one could admire the sight.
Because now Rushmore was astonishing at something different before the landscape.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
The windows of all buildings are covered with iron, and a large dome spread like an umbrella surrounds each building.
A gigantic steel pillar sprouted from the outer shell, spewing out steam and propelling the ground like a spider’s legs.
A jet engine bursts out from the side and shakes the city, spewing fire.
Anti-gravity devices springing up in various places emit a blue aura and lighten the weight of the ground itself.
therefore.
The ground is lifted.
Looking at the city that started to move as a whole, leaving only underground structures including sewage.
Dancing with the wolves said as if moaning.
“The ancient spirits have awakened.”
“…Those ancient spirits that formed the foundation of Rushmore City?”
“yes.”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“I really want to know why.”
After the Elemental War.
All the ancient spirits had disappeared and could not be found anywhere except EK.
There are only faint traces of it in places like Rushmore City, which were built with the remains of ancient spirits that were destroyed during the Spirit Corps.
But why did the ancient spirits, who hadn’t moved for 500 years, finally open their eyes?
Before being the chief of the Continental Guardian, as a single messenger, he could not understand.
“They told me to do it. The swordsman told me to do what you have to do.”
“…I see.”
One thing to know.
That the ancient spirits are cooperating with Limon.
He said that he would cooperate in saving the golden dragon princess as long as he knew that fact.
Watching the dance with the wolf talking as if lamenting, Limon was trembling.
Even though they fought together during the Spirit Corps, that’s all.
It was because I couldn’t figure out why the spirits, especially the ancient spirits, who originally did not move with personal emotions, broke their confinement for 500 years and helped them.
‘Thanks to that, I saved time.’
But worry for a while.
Limon shook his head to clear his thoughts.
In any case, as long as there was no need to evacuate the citizens one by one, it was possible to rescue earlier than planned.
One problem remains.
It was about whether Charlotte would still be okay…
but Limon had something in mind about that.
This is because they had taken out light insurance as much as they expected it would take time to evacuate in the first place.
An advance party that could save Charlotte before he could, or at least delay his arrival.
‘It would be fortunate if I didn’t get lost along the way.’
…but not very reliable.
Will insurance really work?
While trying hard to suppress the rising suspicion, Limon started preparing to rescue Charlotte.
