#802. You’re tired.
* * *
Gulp.
after swallowing the medicine.
let out a heavy breath
As much as I’ve been through all the battles in my own way, I have the confidence to deal with anyone calmly.
Just now, the tension made me nauseous.
I couldn’t help it.
Because from now on, the opponent was a big deal.
However, it is not possible to miss this opportunity, which was barely obtained with all our national strength, just because we are nervous.
After taking a deep breath, I made up my mind.
he got up
“egg plant.”
“It’s still early…”
“Because you don’t know when he’s coming.”
I’m just an invited guest.
He murmured, “I shouldn’t have to go back to my hometown because I was late to meet you.”
he left the office.
So when he went out to the inn close to the entrance and spent his time anxiously.
The mood has changed.
“…they say you’ve arrived.”
I could tell without hearing it.
The air at the front door, suddenly all sound had died, finally announced the arrival of the guest.
And as the guests get closer, the tension around them grows tighter and everyone hardens their faces.
He greeted guests politely.
“welcome.”
faded white hair.
cold golden eyes.
A sharp scar around the left eye.
And even the sword worn at the waist.
He was originally a legendary hero, but as the times changed, he fell and was even beaten by Tosa Gufang.
After taking the president hostage and making a fuss, he went around the world and accomplished all sorts of feats to straighten the status of the sword master.
The man who caused the impeachment of former President Gireco.
Watching Limon Asfelder.
President Shin Myung-wun spoke with the utmost respect he could.
“Welcome to the Blue House, Swordsman.”
* * *
“Hmm…”
“Do you not like something?”
“No, it’s only been a little over a year, but I think it’s been restored very well.”
Is that what the person responsible for blowing up the Blue House would say?
Shin Myeong-wun, who put the words that came out of his throat again, said with a natural smile like a politician.
“If you use an architectural player, you can construct quickly and cheaply.”
“Really? In my PAB days, whenever I destroyed a building, I took a lot of money for repairs, but the world has improved.”
“Ha ha ha. After all, government agencies are budget-conscious.”
Shin Myung-woon’s pupils shook.
As it is organized around high-level players to respond to player crime, PAB is a high-paying job that easily exceeds billions in annual salary.
It was because he knew of Limon’s past, in which most of his annual salary was taken away as compensation and fines.
It wasn’t just because Limon was too aggressive.
Special tax, Patriot Act, Superhuman Donation Act, etc.
It’s because of a law made by the National Assembly in the distant past, that Limon was taxed more heavily than others.
Because of that, I was driven to the point where my living expenses were insufficient.
He had a lot of stabbings, so he had no choice but to notice.
However, Limon did not bother to question Shin Myung-wun.
It seems that there was no ill intention.
I just quietly tilted my teacup.
When Shin Myung-woon is relieved at his calm attitude.
Limon, who put down the teacup he was drinking from, suddenly opened his mouth.
“So, what’s the reason you’re going to return my property to the point of pulling out the pillars of the country?”
“…Not to the extent that the roots of the pillars are pulled out.”
“That wouldn’t be easy, would it? It’s a bit self-congratulatory, but my wealth wasn’t that small.”
“…”
“Especially in this situation.”
Shin Myung-woon couldn’t bear to deny Limon’s words.
Limon’s wealth, which has lived for hundreds of years as an absolute, is at the level of the national budget.
The reason why this country became a player powerhouse was largely thanks to the fact that he was able to quickly invest the wealth collected from him in the dungeon business.
However, in the midst of severe economic chaos due to the collapse of Midas, he would return the property.
what is the intention
To Limon, who is very curious.
Myungwoon Shin replied bitterly.
“There are several reasons… but the biggest reason is that there was no way I could meet you if I didn’t do this.”
So far, he has been trying his best to meet the princess of the Seven Dragons or Limon.
But the results were disastrous.
I can’t even get in touch with Limon.
The princesses of the Seven Dragons are also cut off from their aides, whether formal or unofficial.
After negotiating, proposing, and even begging, nothing came of it, so I had to use this method in the end.
“Why did you want to meet me?”
“…I have a favor to ask of you.”
“I’m asking what the request is.”
Although it was a difficult opponent to pay such a huge price.
Shin Myung-wun swallowed dryly at the sight of Limon, who seemed cold and even indifferent, as if he wanted to go there if he had nothing else to do.
And after taking a deep breath, he said straight forward.
“Swordsmith, please lift the sanctions of the Seven Dragons.”
“I don’t think the Seven Dragons are doing any particular economic sanctions against this country right now, right?”
“It’s a problem because I didn’t do anything.”
Shin Myung-woon put on a tired expression.
If it had been economic sanctions, it would have been possible to find a solution, complaining that all of this was because of the Seven Dragons.
But the Seven Dragons did not.
It seems to be good.
at an indifferent distance.
I was just clearly revealing my will not to get involved too much.
“Thanks to the collapse of Midas, the economy of this country is on the brink of collapse.”
It is not that the Seven Dragons were particularly disadvantageous to this country or that they withdrew their business.
It just reaped the benefits of the past.
But the results were devastating.
Finance transportation industry food culture service medical.
Problems arose all over the place just because the benefits that the Seven Dragons, which had taken control of everything essential in life, disappeared.
Those who are mad about the fact that nectar, the elixir of immortality, is not sold in Korea, go on an overseas expedition.
There is a fence that buys the GOD brand abroad and sells it for several times the profit.
Little things, if trivial.
However, as much as such social problems are increasing one by one.
People’s dissatisfaction and anxiety were piling up, and the social atmosphere was subsiding.
Until now, there was at least a substitute for Midas and the World Federation, but… that is now at its limit.
The chaos caused by the collapse of Midas’ affiliates in succession overlapped with the existing problems, and now the entire economy was collapsing.
“Now, only the Seven Dragons can save this country. So please help me.”
“That’s for the princesses to decide.”
“But isn’t it because of the Sword Gong that the Seven Dragons are neglecting our country?”
He is just a swordsman.
Aren’t you a businessman or a descendant of a dragon?
If you need the help of the Jung Chilryonghoe, don’t do this to yourself and meet the seven princesses in person and talk to them.
The moment when Shin Myung-wun, seeing Limon talking like a stranger, questioned him without realizing it.
Limon tilted his head.
“You mean I’m putting economic sanctions on this country by moving the Seven Dragons?”
Creepy!
That moment.
Shin Myung-woon hardened.
Especially raised his voice.
It didn’t even show momentum.
just stare at it
But those golden eyes are so deep and still.
It made Shin Myung-woon feel the pressure and suffocation as if he were drowning in the deep sea.
“I-I didn’t mean that in that sense.”
“okay?”
If so, it seems to be done.
Limon straightened his head.
Watching him lift the cup again, Shin Myung-wun broke into a cold sweat.
because I realized it all over again.
This man is Limon Aspelder.
The fact that he has been devalued until now, but in reality he is a terrifying absolute that may surpass even the monarch.
And that his status as the president of a country meant nothing to him.
That was enough to make him feel helpless like an elk facing a beast.
But even ants run at elephants to protect their burrows.
as the president of a country.
Thanks to a sense of responsibility and mission.
Shin Myung-wun spoke as carefully as possible, but clearly.
“So what I meant was that since you became Princess Silver Dragon’s sire, the Seven Dragons had a tendency to distance themselves from us.”
“Only the Silver Dragon Princess?”
“yes?”
“It’s nothing. We haven’t officially held a ceremony yet… This country is like that.”
“…?”
To Shin Myung-wun, who is perplexed as he doesn’t know why Limon looks at him with pitiful eyes, as if he were the boss of a hole-in-the-wall shop that is a sucker for diplomacy and spying
.
Limon said calmly.
“First of all, let me tell you one thing, I do not have a grudge against your country. Of course, I have no intention of taking revenge or destroying it on purpose.”
“then…!”
“But I don’t have the heart to ask my brides to be considerate of you.”
It was a moment.
Shin Myung-woon’s face, which was happy as if he were about to jump, was stained with despair as if he was about to collapse.
“Uh, why?”
“why?”
Could it be that the frustration was too great?
Hearing the question he casually asked.
Limon tilted his head again.
It’s like I don’t even know what it means because I heard such a stupid question.
“That sounds like something I should ask… Why should I help your country?”
“That’s…”
Myungwoon Shin was speechless.
because he knew
Limon had no reason to help them.
The reason President Han Jeong-guk was impeached was because he misunderstood the fact and tried to use him.
So Shin Myung-wun let out a heavy sigh.
“Yes, I know. You may have a sense of duty to help us, but you have no obligation, and even that has already disappeared.”
It is absurd to even ask for help from an opponent who was about to be dumped by the country.
Any ardent patriot would turn out to be an anti-governmentist, a traitor, or even a traitor. It was enough to be.
Even more so for Limon, who was not even a citizen of this country in the first place.
“But swordsmith, the people
are innocent
. ”
No.
Because he knew very well that without the help of the Seven Dragons, this country would eventually
perish . “I
will take
responsibility and do whatever it takes to achieve it.” ”
So, please give this country one more chance.”
Stand up. At the end of staring at Shin
Myeong-
wun, who said he was prepared to kneel down if necessary,
Limon muttered,
“Really, you’re tired.”
“…Swordsmith?
” I thought he would understand if I said that much.”
Ahead of Shin Myeong-wun, who
was startled,
Limon buried himself on the backrest .
If people aren’t vicious and vicious, do you see them as idiots and try to use them?”
