#573. It is nothing.
To be honest.
This was a set result.
The reason why the status of the sword master fell in the first place was the influence of the world peace plan.
However, with the decline of the Black Dragon Clan, the power of the world peace plan weakened, and after Li Mon made an engagement with Li Qingyu, the operation was stopped altogether.
It’s just that he’s indifferent to fame.
Also, the evaluation was only maintained because he had been hiding his tracks to catch the liberation brigade.
However, the activities of the other sword masters were enough to shatter the common sense so far.
“Especially among the older generation over 50, there are many people who remember the fame of swordsmithing.”
“I think you’ve been quiet about that until now?”
“Until now, we kept their mouths shut.”
“Are all those people mouths?”
“Because it is easy to create public opinion without changing individual thoughts.”
Journalists, politicians, entertainers, etc.
A minority that leads public opinion anyway.
It is difficult even for them to overturn the entire society by themselves.
That’s why the higher up in society, the more they form a network for all sorts of reasons.
That’s why the Seven Dragons controlled such gatherings.
For whatever reason, the group that tried to revive or spread the status of the sword master disintegrated.
The rest was easy.
Whether you write a comment part-time job.
Whether you go directly to the craft.
All I had to do was to create an image of those who praised the sword master as interested, old-fashioned, or conservative.
Those who talk so alone shut their mouths.
Even so, those who do not keep their mouths shut are forced to remain silent with money and power, or just be treated as eccentrics.
If 30 years or so goes on, even those who know the truth will be confused.
After explaining it like a black dragon clan of conspiracies and scheming.
Li Qingyu continued.
“But with this incident, those people have started to open their mouths again or move directly.”
“Are you trying to recruit me?”
“Even if it’s not until recruiting, I’m sure he’ll try to establish a relationship with the swordsman somehow.”
Not many people know that Limon has joined hands with the Seven Dragons.
At most, it’s about the liberation brigade or the 7th guild.
Now that the status of the sword master has begun to revive.
To those who don’t know that fact, Limon will look like a blue chip stock with huge profits with very little investment.
In particular, those who remembered the status of a sword master in the past did not know if they would make investments that neglected profits.
“Because the swordsman is absolute.”
Absolute.
A being who alone changes the world.
Even without power or power.
Saying that it was worth it for Limon, who stood tall at the top of the world by defeating other sword masters with just one sword.
The girl who made a betrothal with him, almost breaking the clan, smiled.
“Among all of them, he must be the one who is hotter right now.”
“You mean the guy I was talking about earlier?”
“yes. I know relatively well about swordsmithing, and even if I think about my position, I will need to contact him before anyone else.”
“So you’re bothering me?”
“It’s just that I’m still trying to find a swordsman in many ways.”
“I want to see you…”
After a short silence.
Limon laughed.
“I feel a great sense of alienation. Before, even if I wanted to meet you, I couldn’t easily meet you.”
“Actually, I remember meeting you easily.”
“Instead, we didn’t meet very politely, did we?”
“Indeed, it is.”
Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.
last time or before that.
It was difficult to say that the meeting between him and Limon was moderate even in empty words.
“But that doesn’t give me any reason to meet him.”
“Okay, then I’ll take care of it myself.”
Li Qingyu had no hesitation in his answer, as he had originally intended to quietly reject it even if he hadn’t been there.
However, Limon did not agree.
as if worried
Or like it’s embarrassing.
After a bit of hesitation.
Limon asked with a puzzled expression.
“But, princess. Among the guys who wanted to meet me, was there anything else I needed to pay attention to?”
“There was nothing. Why?”
“No, nothing.”
Limon scratched his cheek at Li Qingyu, who was strangely uncharacteristically ambiguous and had a puzzled expression on his face.
And turn your head slightly.
out the bright window.
No, to be precise, I muttered quietly as I looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky.
“I had a feeling someone was looking for me.”
* * *
Cairo.
is the capital of Egypt.
Africa’s largest city.
But now Cairo’s appearance was not very good.
It was because the aftermath of the recent battle with the Allied Forces and the Sword Masters had spread all over the city.
Shattered windows.
A building with clear soot.
Roof signboards that have completely melted down.
The traces left all over the city showed how intense the last battle was.
However, unlike the messy scenery, the atmosphere of the people walking on the street was lively.
Of course, casualties were rare compared to the damage to the city, as civilians had been evacuated before the battle.
This is because the Egyptian royal family was working hard to restore the city by releasing huge amounts of goods.
Thanks to that, Cairo is currently booming.
With the atmosphere of victory added, it was like a festival every day.
“My head hurts…”
In that sense.
The stocky man was the unfortunate victim.
If the atmosphere in Cairo hadn’t been this good, he wouldn’t have had such a headache.
slap!
“So you should have been drinking a little bit, you human!”
“Okay. If this is enough, one more drink will make it better.”
“Are you really determined to puncture your stomach? I guess I’ll just drill a hole myself!”
…Of course, in the eyes of the woman accompanying the man, it was perfectly self-sufficient.
“Don’t be too angry. Still, we won the game.”
“Then why are you holding a death match for alcohol! Right now, tomorrow is the meeting, but what do you gain from everyone collapsing?”
“To obtain the honor and glory of men.”
“You’ll get a hangover and a bottle!”
It seems astonishing.
With a deep sigh, she moved on.
People who were half-dead, dying, or already dead from drinking would have to eat something to get them to participate in the meeting tomorrow.
Even after buying honey and tomatoes, she didn’t have enough, so she even looked for the apothecary in the market.
“Looking for something good for a hangover? Then there’s something really cool.”
“Really?”
“Yes, I got it this time, but the effect is amazing. Besides, it’s not just good for a hangover.”
“What is a hangover medicine good for besides a hangover?”
“That’s what I mean…”
So the woman argues with the apothecary holding the dubious red vial and the price.
While the man was chewing and swallowing the tomato the woman bought to soothe his sore stomach.
one voice.
heard
“…Finally found it.”
“Oh, what a surprise!”
When the startled apothecary almost lost the vial he was holding, and then put it in his arms in a hurry.
The two of them startled and looked back at the strange figure that appeared behind them before they knew it.
Is it because of the desert sunlight?
Or is it to hide?
The opponent covered his face with a dusty cloth.
The two, especially the man, couldn’t hide their bewilderment as they saw the monster, who could only be identified as a woman by voice alone.
‘Suddenly?’
He is a warrior skilled in battle.
Even though he was a high-level player who diligently dug into dungeons recently and finally broke through level 60 of demons.
I didn’t notice the approach at all.
It was embarrassing.
Especially in that you still can’t feel the opponent’s presence even though you’re looking at it with your own eyes.
I don’t know if you know his embarrassment or not.
The monster opened his mouth.
“Where is he?”
“That’s him. who are you looking for? Who are you?”
“Please let me know. Ever since she felt the presence of him fighting, the girl has been running a long way without eating or sleeping.”
“…excuse me?”
“But now all I can feel of him is the faint scent left of you, other than that evil dragon’s lair.”
“Look at this?”
Truly a one-way street.
just say what you want
The woman made a strange expression when she saw the monster who showed no signs of listening.
Rather than knowingly ignoring her, it was because she felt as if she couldn’t hear her at all.
It’s like dealing with a foreigner who doesn’t speak the language.
But before I realized the cause of the discomfort.
The woman opened her eyes wide.
It was because he saw the face revealed as the monster pulled the cloth over his head.
A bandage wrapped around the eye.
Translucent white skin.
Even the silver hair that shines white.
In this Africa, you can’t find it if you look for it…
No, to her who inadvertently swallows dry saliva at the sight of a silver-haired beauty with ‘perfect beauty’ that is hard to find anywhere else in the world.
said the silver-haired beauty.
“So please let the girl see him.”
Like a lost child looking for her parents.
tease.
Sad.
miserably again.
Hearing the silver-haired beauty’s request, she looked back at the man with a puzzled expression.
“What about Chieftain?”
A man with a strong physique.
When Limon came in the past.
The first person I met in Africa.
Currently, as a co-representative of the Kilimanjaro Autonomous Government, he is the representative of the delegation visiting to discuss the agreement with the African Federation and Egypt.
Umbaru listened to Shu, his lieutenant, and scratched the back of his head before speaking.
“…Let’s listen to the story first.”
* * *
“You got a call?”
“…yes.”
“I see, have you finally returned from Africa?”
Even though he may not be the one who wants to meet Limon the most.
The person I needed to meet the most.
Thanks to being suddenly kidnapped, she manages to return home after all sorts of hardships in a distant neighboring country that was in a state of isolation.
After that, he gnashed his teeth at Limon, who had completely forgotten himself.
The status of the sword master is rapidly changing, and in all kinds of contact and pressure pouring in from home and abroad.
And the result of feeling a sense of crisis in the gradually falling approval rating.
A man who decided to settle his past resentment with a big heart and make a grand victory. A great president
who was the leader of the world in the past.
No, he still believes that he is the leader of the world.
Han Jeong-guk clicked his tongue with a disapproving face.
“To think that a public figure with no name was smuggling without informing the country. What a mess this is because of that!”
“…”
“This is why I hate old women. You know they’re a corporation just because they’ve aged a bit, don’t they?”
“….”
“It’s the same with the young people I don’t like. When I was young, I solved this kind of thing on my own, but I can’t believe I have to give you instructions!”
His grumbling went on for quite some time.
I just decided to be generous with my heart because of unavoidable circumstances.
It was not enough that he dared to take the president of his country hostage, and he couldn’t like Limon, who treated him like a mutt.
But what can I do?
It is the destiny of politicians to do things they hate.
Han Jeong-guk made up his mind and calmly gave instructions.
“Anyway, since you’ve been contacted now, make an appointment right away. Secretly preparing a seat outside the Blue House without being known to the outside world.”
“…”
“What? Not moving fast.”
“They did not accept the invitation.”
“what?”
“I’m sorry to tell you, but…”
I wonder if I should say this.
Or should I purify it as much as possible?
The conflicted chief of staff eventually closed his eyes and revealed the contents of the contact from Leviathan.
“The Swordsman is busy, so if you have something to do, come and get down on your knees and wait. Then maybe you’ll think about it…”
“…”
Wow!
“Your Excellency! Freeze!”
“fix? Fixed? I heard the commander-in-chief of this country say something like this from an old-fashioned old man, and now such a thing is coming out!”
Can you say that it really turned around?
Han Jeong-guk, whose eyes had been completely turned away from the explosion of his tantrum, gnashed his teeth and shouted.
“I’ll make it clear to you, damn old man, that this world isn’t all about being good at cutting knives!”
