Solo Swordmaster

#315. We have a long way to go.

For a while, I scratched my cheeks while watching the silent Ainsha and the smiling Li Qingyu.

Limon suddenly opened his mouth.

“Well, I admit that my concerns are grounded. There is no clear evidence yet.”

In the first place, the concern Limon felt was not about the Liberation Brigade, but about the Seven Arcs.

So he readily admitted that his worries were a bit excessive.

with a single premise.

“But one thing is clear.”

[Which one?]

“That we must stop the Liberation Brigade from getting their hands on the Seven Arks any more.”

“You are definitely right.”

“…It’s as Lee said.”

This time, Sir and Ainsha also nodded in agreement without hesitation.

What is the secret of Seven Arcs?

Leaving aside such trivial matters, it was clear that it would be a dangerous thing if it fell into the hands of the Liberation Brigade just by looking at the abilities that have been revealed so far.

Even if the remaining ghosts gained Diego’s strength, it was enough to turn the world upside down.

“Isn’t that why the Swordsman made the Liberation Brigade his prey?”

“Because if we start moving after integrating the Seven Dragons, it might be too late.”

Limon said coldly.

What kind of power is in the remaining Seven Arcs.

Since we don’t know what the Liberation Brigade will do with it, it’s best to deal with them as soon as possible.

“In that sense, I’ll ask.”

Whether it’s to catch the liberation brigade.

Whether it’s to win a bride competition.

Whether it’s economic sanctions or nabal, I need to take care of the small work as soon as possible and move.

Limon, who spoke calmly, looked back at Sir.

“How are you going to do it? would that be possible?”

“…Are you asking me to use the power of the carving knife with you to solve the limits of the divine object?”

“okay.”

“Do you know how absurd that is?”

“I don’t know. All I know is that you are a real witch.”

“…”

Magic always comes with a price.

But on the other hand, magic is the ability to do anything as long as the price is met.

And if you’re the greatest witch of the Silver Age who has reached the ultimate in magic like that, of course you can do this much.

Seeing Limon speak shamelessly, Sir thought.

Even if this baby was not a swordsman, but a slave trader or a columnist, it would have been great.

* * *

“I’ll be busy from now on.”

consequently speaking.

Sir accepted the request.

It wasn’t just because they didn’t have the right to refuse.

Giving up without even trying is because her pride as a witch did not allow it.

So Sir immediately kidnapped Limon.

In order to solve the limitations of divine objects with the power of a carving knife, it was necessary to thoroughly study how that power was manifested and how it could be applied.

Of course, it was the same that Yuna-kyung and Shera were taken as a bonus in the name of research assistants.

“How quickly we get the materials will determine when the results will come out.”

Li Qingyu and Ainsha were suddenly neglected.

However, it was the same for both of them that they had to move busily from now on.

whether in response to economic sanctions.

Whether it’s to find new material.

Since it was a situation that required the entire family to respond, the two princesses needed to take the lead.

So now I’m going crazy.

Li Qingyu spoke calmly and turned to Ainsha.

“In that sense, Ainsha, I want you to tell me the materials you can get from the Holy Alliance. I’m trying to find other things.”

“…”

“Ainsha?”

Looking at Ainsha staring at one side of the training room, I was puzzled for a moment.

Li Qingyu soon hesitated.

It was because it was belatedly realized that what Ainsha was looking at was a flower sculpture neatly placed on one side of the training room.

“That flower smells good.”

“Ah, that must be because the swordsmith’s dragon psionic dwells in it.”

“…check. I want to know if everything imbued with Lee’s dragon psionic smells like this.”

“That’s it.”

Li Qingyu nodded.

Then he smiled and asked.

“If you like it, can I get you one?”

There are plenty of reserves anyway, so Limon would be happy to give one to Ainsha.

Let’s look at Li Qingyu as he speaks with a smile.

Ainsha took a step.

one step.

one step.

one more step.

“…Ainsha? Do you have something to say?”

While Li Qingyu made a puzzled expression as he saw himself approaching right in front of him.

Ainsha stood up slightly.

And whispered in her ear as if to tell an important secret.

“Li Qingyu, do you know this?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Li Ching Yuen also smells very good.”

“….”

“It smells very, very good.”

That moment.

Li Qingyu fell silent.

The thought of telling a secret story.

That Ainsha didn’t have it in the first place.

It wasn’t just that he realized that she had “tricked” him to get closer and be sure to sniff.

“Have you changed your perfume?”

“…Yes, I happened to get a rare perfume.”

“Is that so. After all, Li Qingyu is lucky.”

An expressionless face, as always.

A flat, blunt voice.

Even so, unlike usual, emotions were always revealed.

She looked straight at Li Qingyu with dry eyes, as if she had become a doll.

Ainsha continued.

“It’s like a flower. I take that perfume instead.”

“…”

There is no need for enemies.

I have no heart to beg for mercy.

Calmly and calmly, as if asking for what he deserves, of course.

“Don’t forget Li Qingyu. My stake is not free.”

The most pure of the Seven Dragons.

That is why the princess has been deceived and used by Li Qingyu many times.

But because I feel better than anyone else.

The White Dragon Princess, who sometimes transcends logic and grounds, sees through all lies and deceit, and can feel the unknown.

Ainsha took a step.

“If you forget that and betray me again…”

Sarak.

It seems that the words are over.

So that the hem of the dress brushes closely.

Ainsha, who narrowly passed Li Qingyu, stopped right behind her.

And without looking back, he ended his words in an ice-cold voice.

“I will kill you.”

to that chilly warning.

Li Qingyu could not answer.

Ainsha had already left the training room before she could say anything.

Left alone like that, Li Qingyu sighed softly after a long time had passed.

“…I guess I was a little careless.”

side with yourself from the start.

Because I have clearly expressed my intentions.

Above all, because the opponent was none other than Ainsha.

You may have thought of it inadvertently.

She is a reliable ally and an easy-to-use ally, but not an opponent to be checked.

However, I realized it thanks to the death that felt so innocent that it was so pure that it was contained in the warning Ainsha left with a cold face.

Even if they are dismissed as the weakest, purest, and foolish among them, Ainsha also

inherits the true blood of the dragon, the princess of the Seven Dragons.

Having the exclusive desire of a dragon.

It means that you are a competitor on an equal footing with yourself.

‘Now I understand why the swordsman said that.’

Why did Limon say that he believed in the true nature of a descendant of the dragon rather than the good intentions of the princesses?

Li Qingyu, who understood anew, smiled bitterly.

Even he, who thought he knew the princesses best, knew nothing compared to Limon.

and another one.

From the moment she decided to take the stake, Ainsha had become a more threatening opponent than Charlotte in a sense that should never be turned into an enemy.

‘Maybe it was intentional?’

It would be better if Ainsha only acted according to her intuition.

However, if he supported himself after seeing through everything since the Seven Dragons Association and making a cool judgment…

“…I still have a long way to go.”

As the Black Dragon Princess.

Whether as Limon’s bride.

Recognizing his own shortcomings, Li Qingyu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

* * *

Around the time Li Qingyu, Ainsha, the Archwitch, and the Baby Bird Sword Master were moving to respond to the economic sanctions.

The other princesses were also moving quickly.

Only the Black Dragon Clan and the White Dragon Clan are tied by economic sanctions.

In order to stay one step ahead of the competition with other clans, it was necessary to be in such a hurry.

“Is this the result of your investigation into the Liberation Brigade?”

“Yes My Princess.”

“It took longer than expected.”

But Charlotte was in no hurry.

No, I rather relaxed.

After returning to the United States.

To the extent that he instructed me to report on the Liberation Brigade instead of immediately pursuing it.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes after reading the report that the Golden Dragon Clan made by using all the intelligence agencies of the United States like limbs.

“Hmm, the Liberation Brigade…”

Until now, Charlotte had been indifferent to the Liberation Brigade.

Originally, the Seven Dragons were the largest criminal organization in history that had ruled all the darkness in the world for hundreds of years.

During that long history, there were many criminal organizations that grew rapidly and confronted the Seven Dragons.

But the ending is one.

There was only complete ruin.

He only hid in the shadows because of his natural enemy, the swordsman.

The power of the Seven Dragons, which once ruled the world, was not at the level of a mediocre criminal organization.

In that sense, to Charlotte, the Liberation Brigade was just one of those common criminal organizations that would eventually break down after a brief moment of brilliance.

However, the information about the Liberation Brigade, which he checked, intrigued Charlotte.

“Certainly, it seems that it has reached a level where it cannot be dismissed as simple trash.”

“Anyway, trash is trash, my princess.”

“Don’t ignore it too much. Then, don’t you feel very sorry for the clan who have suffered hardships from these scum all this time?”

The Black Dragon clan whose affiliates were attacked.

The Blue Dragon clan experienced the London Incident.

The green dragon clan fell into a trap, etc.

After confirming the details of the Seven Dragons’ clash with the Liberation Brigade, Charlotte spoke languidly.

Few organizations have threatened the Seven Dragons in the past hundreds of years.

It was about the Dark Dawn Society, which was a dark magic association that destroyed demons after descending, and the Continental Guardians, which were part of the elemental crisis.

“Above all, it is hard to ignore the secrecy and expandability of the Liberation Brigade.”

“iced coffee. Since it is a point organization, it is not easy to subdue it, and like the old guild, it is composed of player-oriented forces, so it is said that power expansion is fast.”

“Originally, the more insignificant the bug, the easier it is to escape and multiply.”

Charlotte laughed.

The reason why the old guild is called the loser of the present era even though the Seven Dragons hold all the wealth in the world.

It wasn’t just because they were strong.

It was because of the potential to grow into a force comparable to the Seven Dragons, which has a history of hundreds of years, in just thirty years.

In that respect, the Liberation Brigade was similar to the old guild.

Just looking at the report, it was estimated that the number of members of the Liberation Brigade increased tenfold in just a few years.

How many more years will pass like this?

The Liberation Brigade could have grown into a force comparable to the old guild.

“Looking at this rate of growth, it is understandable why my prospective sire deliberately targeted the Liberation Brigade as our target.”

“Are you saying the swordsman is wary of the liberation brigade?”

“At least it’s clear that you’re recognizing it as someone who will be a nuisance if you don’t put it away now.”

“If that swordsman thinks so, it’s certainly not to the point of being ignored.”

A woman dressed as a cowgirl.

Alice readily agreed with Charlotte’s words.

It was trust stemming from the arrogance of the Golden Dragon clan that their princess could not be wrong in their judgment.

“What do you want, my princess? If you wish, I will immediately mobilize the intelligence agency to find them.”

“There is no need for that.”

Charlotte shook her head.

If only the intelligence agency could catch them, the Liberation Brigade wouldn’t have been able to expand their forces until now.

More than anything else, in order to gain an edge in the competition with other princesses, a more certain method was needed, rather than such a lukewarm method.

And Charlotte had a method only she could use that no other princess could imitate.

“I’ll put a bounty on you instead.”

“You mean leave the trash to the cleaners.”

“Yes.”

“But to capture my Princess Liberation Brigade, a huge guild or a high-level player will have to step in. They don’t move for quite a bit of money.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

At Alice’s point, Charlotte snorted.

And as if there was no easier solution, he continued with an arrogant smile.

“If you can’t move with a decent amount of money, just give me more money than that.”

It was not long after that that one advertisement was plastered on all news newspapers and the Internet around the world.

The content of the advertisement was simple.
