#794. It’s ruined.
* * *
“…So.”
A face as pale as that of a corpse.
Untidy purple hair.
Even the gloomy eyes that darkened the long-awaited face.
A woman with a dark aura that makes anyone feel uncomfortable.
Wanderer opened his mouth in a subdued voice.
“You couldn’t even stop the golden lord from dying, and you ran away alone?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“Even the sword spirit was abandoned?”
“That’s because things went awry.”
Who would have known that things would turn out this way?
Looking at Billy, who speaks lightly even though he is dressed in bandages all over his body, he wants to remain silent with a heavy face.
Wanderer quietly opened his mouth.
“Swordman, what do you think?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You idiot. I wonder if it would be better to cut off an arm for failure.”
“Look at this?!”
When Billy is hot.
Gandhi gave a gentle smile.
“No matter how skilled a sword is, if your arm is cut off, it will be difficult in many ways, so please refrain from that.”
The reason why a sword master has a perfect body is not only because he has perfected his sword suit, but also because he can properly wield his sword.
sensation of the hand.
left and right length.
height, weight, skeleton, etc.
The balance of the body collapses even if there is a minute difference of a piece of paper.
Even a sword master has limits in wielding a sword with such an imperfect body.
That’s why Limon, who fought swords with Billy even while sitting in a wheelchair, was more monstrous.
But Billy is not Limon.
It is better to refrain from taking out anger in order to use it as a force in the future.
Hearing Gandhi’s gentle words, Billy smiled.
“As expected priest! I believed!”
“So cut off your tongue instead of your arm.”
“…?!”
“That’s right….”
“Now, wait! Lady! Give me one more chance! I’m such an idiot that I do when I see you like this?!”
Would the emperor of the Roman Empire, who had his destiny stolen by a witch, be like this?
It took a while to put on a face full of betrayal.
Billy, who felt a great sense of danger after receiving Wanderer’s grim eyes, knelt down and prayed.
There was a difference as big as heaven and earth between a taciturn gunman and a gunman whose tongue was cut off and could only make short sounds.
Mainly because it’s out of shape.
Was it through that earnest begging?
after a long silence.
Wanderer nodded.
“…Okay, I’ll let you go.”
“Huh? Are you really watching?”
“Should I just cut it?”
“Thank you so much for watching!”
“There’s nothing to be thankful for…. I’m just afraid that the usefulness I have will be lost.”
Even though it’s to fulfill his own long-cherished wish, Billy is the most cooperative sword master to her.
Billy, who does what he is told by not one or two sword masters who are already selfish, belongs to the side that is at least useful.
Even she could not easily dispose of it.
Of course, her personality wasn’t good enough to overcome failure for that reason…
“I didn’t expect anything from the Golden Lord in the first place.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that?”
“That means I’ve had enough time…”
Wanderer snorted.
The Golden Lord’s Last War project was obviously a grand plan, enough to destroy the Seven Dragons at once if successful.
He actually drove the Seven Dragons into a corner.
However, she did not expect anything from the golden lord.
He only sent repairs running with Billy because he needed a bait that would attract the attention of the Seven Dragons and buy him time until he was ready.
“…now the preparations are complete.”
from that point of view.
Billy had successfully completed his mission.
Thanks to the Golden Lord and his great success, the Seven Dragons didn’t care about anything else.
That’s because she could move freely.
“So, look forward to it.”
“…”
“If this is over, even Limon Aspelder won’t be able to stop us.”
achievements as a result of it.
The Seven Dragons were hiding it.
After rigorous research and monitoring.
Recalling the information he finally obtained a few days ago, Wanderer smiled grimly.
“-never.”

Chaos Theory.
The hypothesis that the flapping of a butterfly’s wings could cause a typhoon on the other side of the globe.
Of course, that’s just a mathematical theory dealing with the importance of small errors, and it’s not actually possible.
But something similar could have been done.
Or crash related stocks to the scandal.
One bullet can lead to war.
Broadcasting makes a new trend, etc.
In this modern age, where everything from the economy to politics and culture is intertwined, the influence of one individual could have global consequences.
It was even easier if the individual had global influence.
So it was.
present this moment.
That is why the whole world is in chaos.
“The company went bankrupt overnight? Does that make sense!”
“What if I’m really screwed?”
“Well, then my severance pay…”
“Is your severance pay, which is only 2 years old, a problem? The boss took my 10 year severance pay and threw it away?”
From a young man who became unemployed shortly after getting a job at a large company after a fierce job war, to a middle-aged man whose livelihood was at a loss?
They were only part of it.
Dozens of companies have suddenly become paralyzed due to the bankruptcy of a large company that handled server operation and management.
The game suddenly freezes, the site closes, the item ordered does not ship, the card payment fails, the manuscript uploaded to the cloud disappears, etc.
When all of them are combined, people who lightly exceed hundreds of thousands, let alone thousands, have suffered damage.
The problem was that not one or two companies went bankrupt overnight.
“What is this…”
“Could Midas be ruined? Really?”
“Oh my God.”
People were confused.
Of course, if it was a few years ago, it would have been.
Magus, Forest Utopia, and even Soulis and Manmamun
. It was not new that the guild collapsed.
However, the Midas guild was sweet. While
the other 10 guilds only operated businesses according to each guild’s inclination, focusing on dungeon raids.
Midas, if it made money.
Another useful skill. If there is,
it has continued to expand its business by willingly accepting small and medium-sized enterprises and private corporations as affiliates. It is
only because it has secured the breadth and diversity of business in that way that it is the only one that has been able to build wealth comparable to the Seven Dragon Group.
However, the bigger and heavier the giant tree, the more it will fall down. The shock at the time is also great.
In the midst of confusion due to all sorts of incidents between the Seven Dragons and the World Federation, the aftermath of
Midas subsidiaries collapsing, merging, or suffering financial difficulties shook the world.
There was no exception to this . .The
rich and the common people.
Large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises.
Large guilds and small guilds.
Even powerful countries and small countries.
They had to struggle to avoid drowning because they were indiscriminately swept away by this economic tsunami on a global scale.
“Why, Why did this happen…”
That was
the reason Shin Myung-wun was shaking his head.
Even though he was full of confidence and hope until he was elected on behalf of impeached former President Han Jeong-guk
. In his right eye ,
only sorrow remained
, moaning
.
It’s like a fierce economic war is going on.
Since the price of dungeon by-products started to run wild, everyone with even a little bit of information was aware of it.
But this ending was unexpected.
Does it make sense that a company can end up like this overnight?”
Of course, immortality is complete bullshit in the sense that any large company can go out of business.
Still, there is a degree.
I don’t know if it’s to the extent that one or two affiliates collapse or fail in business.
The Midas Guild, one of the seven major guilds, was almost disintegrating in mid-air.
In the aftermath, those who fell into tremendous economic turmoil felt like they were not struck by lightning or even a shark storm.
But the world is in the middle of the day.
After all, worse things always happen.
“This is unconfirmed information…”
“What?”
“There are rumors that the Golden Lord may be in trouble.”
“…!”
That moment.
Shin Myung-woon hardened his face.
And after a short silence, he murmured.
“It’s ruined.”
Information that would otherwise have been dismissed as nonsense.
However, there was no more rational reason to explain the sudden collapse of the Midas guild.
In the first place, the 10th guild was an organization that held the hegemony of the world based on the absolute power and skill of the monarch.
Therefore, just as a building collapses without a pillar, if the monarch disappears, structurally it cannot maintain its vigor.
It also meant that the collapse of the Midas Guild would accelerate and the situation would get worse.
Shin Myung-woon felt as if he could already hear the song.
“What’s the solution?”
“Sorry, but no.”
“…Couldn’t you think about it and answer?”
“The situation is too great to be dealt with ad hoc.”
It was unavoidable.
Midas was a guild that dealt with as much money as several tolerable countries put together.
The aftermath of their collapse was at a level that even the United States of America or the Russian Khanate could not handle on their own.
One exception, if any.
“Only the Seven Dragons can rectify this situation.”
“…are the parties who caused this chaos the only solution?”
“Rather, it’s more like that, right?”
Beyond destroying even Midas.
The Seven Dragons have truly taken control of the world’s wealth.
If they absorbed the affiliates of Midas, this economic chaos would be resolved to some extent.
“Maybe that’s why, there are rumors that the Seven Dragons are preparing for a meeting.”
“It’s not a meeting, it’s a victory celebration.”
The collapse of Midas means that the balance between the World Federation and the Seven Dragons has completely collapsed.
Now, it meant that the Seven Dragons were close to a fait accompli to destroy the World Federation and gain world hegemony.
And what about other countries?
It was a regrettable situation for the Korean Peninsula, which had not maintained good relations with the Seven Dragons for the past hundreds of years.
Especially in that Limon became the silver dragon princess’ sire and the entire seven dragon society began to look down on them.
So it was.
Shin Myung-woon opened his mouth after much thought.
“Make an appointment with the princess of the Seven Dragons.”
“…it’s difficult.”
“I still have to do it somehow.”
Anyone with eyesight would have noticed where the balance of power had tipped.
Not one or two of them would be anxious to meet the princess of the Seven Dragons.
But that’s why he said he needed to meet the princesses of the Seven Dragons before it was too late.
Myungwoon Shin quietly finished his speech.
“Now, depending on how closely you maintain a relationship with the Seven Dragons, the world will be divided into advanced and underdeveloped countries.”
