Solo Swordmaster

#149. Could one be possible?

* * *

[I’m going to see the kids for a while…]

Byeong.

It’s because I’ve heard so many great things.

It wasn’t long before Yuna-gyeong, who had a tired expression, left her seat due to space movement.

An unexpected opponent came to the parlor.

“Did your talk with the King’s family go well?”

“…Princess, why are you here?”

A black-haired girl came through the door.

Li Qingyu tilted his head after hearing Li Mon’s question.

“Was there a time when I shouldn’t have come?”

“No, it’s not a matter of timing. All that’s left is how did you come here?”

“I entrusted the sorting of documents to another clan instead of the swordsmith, but it took longer than expected. I came down for a while until the sorting was over.”

“If it’s you, it’s possible to process the documents even if you don’t categorize them, right?”

“It’s a matter of efficiency.”

It is said that if you do not take adequate rest, your work efficiency will also decrease.

Seeing Li Qingyu respond naturally, Limon, who made a subtle expression, slightly turned his gaze to look in front of her.

“Is that why you came here? Are you ready for that?”

“Even if it’s the same break, tea time with simple refreshments is more effective.”

“Doesn’t it seem a bit grandiose for a simple refreshment?”

A steaming teapot.

Sweets of the seven-story pagoda stacked in layers.

There are also various simple snacks.

No matter how you look at it, Limon scratched his cheek while looking at the various refreshments that seemed to be enough to have a tea party at all, let alone a simple tea time.

Li Qingyu pushed the cart back in and answered lightly.

“Because there is something nice about it. We can’t afford to have a party right now, so we should replace the toast with refreshments.”

“…You couldn’t come with me earlier because you were preparing for this?”

“Well, what about it?”

Li Qingyu replied with a strange smile.

Then, after setting the refreshments himself, he continued as he poured tea into the teacup that was set down.

“Congratulations on subjugating the Shanghai royal family, swordsman.”

“Was this something to be celebrated?”

“Sure. After all, in the Seven Dragons, you have gained a force that will only be loyal to the swordsman.”

Li Qingyu chuckled.

Even though Limon had been in the position of a superior in the Black Dragon Clan until now, it was more like carrying her name on her back as a reserve sire and escorting her.

Right now, the Guardian was just running the place Li Qingyu gave her as an attendant she assigned.

But now things were different.

Of course, he proved his strength as a sword master by resolving this chaos.

There was no one in the Black Dragon clan who would regard Limon, who had even acquired the power of the Shanghai royal family, as a mere façade.

In other words, Limon had finally prepared the minimum support base to make the Seven Dragons his own force.

“The power and wealth of the Shanghai royal family are by no means light. At least, it’s enough to be the advance guard that the swordsman will use when ruling the Seven Dragons.”

The Shanghai royal family is a prestigious family.

Even in terms of total assets, it easily surpasses most conglomerates, and has sufficient strength and talent to operate the armed forces.

If the seven dragons are regarded as kingdoms of each clan in a huge empire, the Shanghai royal family can be said to be lords with their own territories.

And subjugating the Shanghai royal family means acquiring the territory.

It meant a lot.

No matter how brilliant a knight may be, he is only a swordsman by himself, but a lord with a fiefdom can participate in the struggle for supremacy.

The Shanghai royal family is just a starting point.

If he gradually expanded his power based on them, Limon could gain more wealth and power.

Just like the countless kings in history who started out as small territories and rose to the status of not only the king of a country but even higher.

“Besides, among the powers of the constellation that the swordsman has newly acquired, there are powers that will be very useful when expanding his power in the future.”

What Limon gained by defeating the Liberation Brigade was not only fame and the Shanghai royal family.

Ryu Gang-chul Eugene The power newly absorbed by cutting off the constellation of Velos.

That alone greatly increased what Limon could do.

However, the biggest benefit of all was that he was able to perfectly handle the violin of deep darkness.

It was enough to digest all the power of three constellations with just one performance, which was played by Eugene.

For Limon and Li Ching-yu, it was indeed of great significance.

As long as the side effects of absorbing the fragments of starlight are gone, Limon can now cut the Constellation as much as he wants.

“Swordsmith has gained so many things, so how can we not congratulate him?”

It was as if he was the one who got all of that.

Looking at Li Qingyu, who smiled and was happy, Limon smiled.

“If that’s the case, I’m not the only one who should be congratulated.”

Limon took the teapot from Li Qingyu’s hand.

Maybe because it was an unexpected action.

Take a moment to open your eyes.

Soon after, with a happy smile, Li Mon said calmly while pouring tea to Li Qingyu, who politely held out his teacup with both hands.

“Congratulations on taking control of the clan again, Black Dragon Princess.”

“There is still the power of the elders, but they congratulate us too quickly.”

“So, it’s the difference between being a little early or late.”

Limon laughed.

What he gained from this incident was more Li Qingyu.

It was because she had cleared away the distrust she had accumulated over the past decades and regained her authority as a princess.

It’s not just about belittling authority.

In the original religious and criminal organization, the Seven Dragons, the authority of the princess was absolutely absolute.

Li Qingyu, who arranged such a thing to the point of putting that absolute authority on the floor himself in order to stop only one Limon, was rather remarkable.

“You made good use of this job.”

“A crisis is an opportunity.”

Limon put down the teapot and held out his teacup.

Li Qingyu calmly continued as she passed the teacup in time for him.

“Actually, as the swordsman said, taking over the clan is only a matter of time. There are other things to worry about.”

“You mean the Liberation Brigade?”

“yes.”

Limon was not surprised by her words, as he was talking about them with Yuna-kyung.

I just asked quietly.

“Do you think you can follow me?”

“To be honest, the strength of the Black Dragon clan alone is not enough.”

“Yes, I guess.”

Limon shook his head at the answer he had already expected.

The Liberation Brigade is a ghost-like organization that has been pursued by investigative agencies all over the world, but has not been caught.

Even with only three people, it was a powerful enemy that turned Leviathan as well as affiliates of the Black Dragon clan.

Of course, if this was the Seventy-seven Commonwealth of China, they wouldn’t have been able to run rampant like that.

In the first place, it was only a branch, and the power of the Black Dragon clan was extremely weak compared to the mainland in this country that Limon had protected for the past hundreds of years.

However, even considering all of that, it was clear that the Liberation Brigade was a dangerous opponent.

The second problem is difficult to find.

Even if the masters of the class came forward, it was easy to take damage instead of catching them.

“Besides, I have other concerns.”

“worry? you?”

Limon put on a puzzled expression.

It was because there was no word that did not suit the princess of the Black Dragon Clan.

Li Qingyu asked him calmly.

“Do you remember? The infinite lord was chasing me when I first met Swordsman.”

“Hmm… yes. Come to think of it, that’s what happened.”

At the time, I was so preoccupied with collecting blood that I forgot, but that was certainly not something to be overlooked.

No matter how absolute the ruler of the time was, touching Li Qingyu was something that could lead to a war with the Seven Dragons.

“Since I met the Infinite Lord this time, I asked him about it. Why did you track me?”

“What was that kimchi soup called?”

“I heard you wanted the treasure of the Black Dragon Clan.”

the moment I heard that.

Limon raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

Then, looking at her with her mouth closed, she tilted her head and asked in a serious voice.

“What is it?”

“Well, what is it?”

He seems to be very curious.

Li Qingyu tilted his head in line with Limon and continued with a soft voice.

“According to the Infinite Lord, it is the supreme treasure that gives the power of the absolute to the owner that contains the power of our ancestors.”

“…I’ve been fighting with you for hundreds of years, but I’ve never heard of something like that?”

Limon’s face became even more shaken.

“That’s very common. I’m also the princess of the Seven Dragons, but I didn’t know we had such a treasure.”

I was astonished when I heard it myself.

So, Limon seemed to be ashamed to his heart’s content.

Li Qingyu smiled and nodded, and added a meaningful word.

“So I asked the Infinite Lord where the rumors came from, and he came up with an interesting name.”

“…Could it be that bastard?”

“Your swordsmith was Park Hyeon-gun, the head of the Park department, who personally took blood.”

Maybe it’s because I didn’t know I’d hear that name again.

To Li Mon, who had a mysterious expression on his face, Li Qingyu calmly explained.

“It is not unusual. He was in the position of managing the Infinity Guild on behalf of the Infinite Lord, and all important information went through him.”

“But it’s a different story when the information is fake.”

“Yes.”

“…The fact that a guy named Lord believed such dubious information must mean that it was reliable information.”

“There are very few organizations that can covertly manipulate and leak such information enough to trick even a teenage guild.”

“And that guy…”

“He had ties to the Liberation Brigade.”

Proof that Park Hyeon-gun was connected to them from the fact that he used the base of the Liberation Brigade as a trap to set up explosives and attract Limon.

If so, it was quite possible for the Liberation Brigade to leak specific information through Park Hyeon-gun.

“Are you saying that the Liberation Brigade used that bastard to bring you into conflict with the Infinity Guild?”

“well. Frankly, I have no way of knowing if their purpose was just a clash or something more.”

Li Qingyu shook his head.

Park Hyeon-gun, who was the tail, was already dead, and even if he was alive, he would not have known the secrets of the Liberation Brigade.

Still, there was another reason why she brought up this story.

“The important thing is that there is a possibility that the Liberation Brigade’s hand has reached out to other teenage guilds as well.”

“Isn’t that too much of a doubt?”

“If you look at this incident, it is.”

It was too much of an over-exaggeration to suspect only one case, Park Hyeon-gun.

Because traitors can be anywhere.

So she said quietly.

“But what if the specter of the Liberation Brigade asserted that even if the Seven Dragons collapsed, the teenage guild would not come forward?”

“…Are you sure?”

“Because it’s a story that I dug up by even writing the Soul and Demonic Style.”

“What a plague…”

Limon cursed.

As an nemesis of the Seven Dragons, he couldn’t have been unaware of the fear of the Soul Demonic Spirit.

Including the reason why Bellos was able to make such an assertion in that state.

“If even a teenage guild is entangled with the Liberation Brigade, this is really not something the Black Dragon clan can handle.”

The teenage guild is the loser of this era.

No matter how many high-level players there were, they were different from the criminal organization, the Liberation Brigade.

But what if the Liberation Brigade had rooted itself to the backbone of the teenage guild, just as Park Hyeon-gun induced Lee Chun-gi’s movement?

It could be like facing a wild beast while trying to catch a bug.

“Yes, with the power of our Black Dragon Clan.”

Li Qingyu readily acknowledged his incompetence.

However, Limon did not miss one premise repeated in those words.

“…In the end, it means that we need the strength of the entire Seven Dragons to catch the Liberation Brigade.”

“It is as you say.”

It’s not a new story.

It was only because of the Liberation Brigade that the need was highlighted more quickly.

From the time we decided to confront the Constellations in the first place, attracting the entire Seven Dragons was a natural process that we had to go through.

The problem was how.

“Don’t you have the strength to move the Seven Dragons right now?”

“No.”

The Black Dragon clan has already sold nearly half of Leviathan’s stake.

Even in the same Seven Dragons, Li Qingyu, who had already lost nearly half of his power, had no right to speak.

“Then, in the end, we have to conciliate the other princesses… Do you think it’s possible?”

“It would be difficult in the usual way.”

“Even if it’s not the usual way, it’s the same, right?”

Limon frowned.

No matter how much he was, there was no way to force him to follow the princess of the Seven Dragons.

If he had been able to deal with intimidation or intimidation, he would not have faced Limon for hundreds of years.

In that case, it was necessary to voluntarily cooperate somehow, but the persuasion of Li Qing-yu, who was already engaged to Li Mon, could not work properly.

No matter what anyone said, Limon was the enemy and nemesis of the Seven Dragons.

“Well, I originally thought that too…”

“…why is that in past tense?”

So it was.

Looking at Li Qingyu with a strange expression, Limon was puzzled.

“I’m not sure, but I think there’s a chance that at least one person will be appeased.”
