#318. What do you mean?

“…Kilimanjaro?”

“yes.”

“That mountain covered in white snow?”

“I don’t know these days, but it was like that in the past.”

Limon was dumbfounded.

Ever since Li Qingyu expressed his disapproval, he had expected that it would not be an ordinary place.

However, Kilimanjaro is the place where the key ingredient to make Dagda’s Cauldron is….

“In short, this? In order to solve the food blockade, we have to find turkeys in the toughest land in Africa?”

“That’s it.”

“…suffice it to say there is a problem.”

“Africa is a unique place in many ways.”

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

Africa is the only continent where the Leviathan Hotel, which has entered every country, has not been established.

Only the Egyptian branch is barely operational.

Other than that, it was rare for a country to have a hotel at all.

392 military regimes alone.

It was difficult even for the Black Dragon clan to set up and operate a hotel in every country where the number changes by month or even day, let alone yearly.

Still, with that alone, they could have dispatched the clan to search for it.

The problem was that the place was no different from the front yard of the Red Dragon Clan.

“If we dispatch a large number of people there, the Red Dragon clan will of course find them.”

“Then the Red Dragon Clan will definitely use their hands.”

“You say very nicely that you will kill them all.”

“No matter how much the red dragon clan is, externally, it will end with an accidental death. … Maybe.”

couldn’t be sure

Limon clicked his tongue as he looked at Li Qingyu, who was slightly confused.

Of course, other clans would not kill the same Seven Dragons without permission, even if they came to their homeland without permission.

Even the silver dragon clan would go through the minimum interrogation process.

However, you shouldn’t expect such things from the Red Dragon Clan.

In particular, if it was now that he was at odds with Li Qingyu, there was a high possibility that he would kill the Black Dragon clan openly.

It was to the extent that the Black Dragon clan members of the Egyptian branch were also half-detained, with all operations suspended.

“Are you saying you’re glad you’re not in Egypt?”

“I can’t say for sure.”

“What do you mean?”

“According to temple records, the range of activities of turkey birds is wide. At worst, it goes from end to end of the continent.”

“…worst case, we might have to search all the way to Egypt?”

“It’s a blessing in disguise. If you’re lucky, you’ll find it soon. If you’re not lucky, you’ll have to search all the continents.”

“That’s a very hopeful story.”

Limon sighed.

It’s absurd that you have to search an entire continent to find just one bird.

It’s even hard to search properly because Africa is like a minefield.

It was a situation where there was no such thing as a pile-up.

“I’m asking for confirmation, but if we send a search party there, how many people can we have?”

“Well… within the range of being invisible to the Red Dragon Clan, at most ten people.”

“Isn’t that all there is to it?”

“If you send more than that number, there is a high possibility that you will get into a fight.”

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

The homeland of the Black Dragon Clan is East Asia.

Even because of racial differences, it was inevitable to stand out in Africa.

If you are a master of the white-faced shellfish, you may be able to camouflage to some extent, but if you go around in groups, you will stand out.

In the midst of this busy blocking economic sanctions in the first place, it is difficult to take out many masters like that.

“Hmm….”

For a while, I tapped my elbows with my fingers while crossing my arms in the increasingly bad conditions.

Limon finally opened his mouth with a sigh.

“It can’t be helped. Then I have no choice but to go and look for it myself.”

[Yes?]

“…?”

At that sudden statement, Yuna-kyung and Ainsha opened their eyes wide.

Li Qingyu, on the other hand, was not surprised.

I knew that, so I just shook my head.

“Are you thinking of going out yourself?”

“Finally, this research is almost finished. If I have to send a small elite, I am the most suitable person.”

Limon shrugged.

Then, looking at Li Qingyu, he smiled.

“Didn’t you, princess, bring this story to me with that in mind in the first place?”

“Not on purpose.”

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

Disguise using the power of the Constellation.

The superhuman senses of a sword master.

In addition, the follow-up technique he acquired as Noh Kang-ho and the ability to cope with unexpected situations.

Whether as a tracker or a seeker. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there were almost no people who could surpass Limon in single action.

It was even more so in this situation where 1:00 is urgent.

However, Ainsha did not agree with Li Qingyu’s opinion.

“It is nonsense. The opponent is Hasneti. If you get caught, you will be in big trouble.”

“It’s a bit dangerous, isn’t it?”

“Not a little bit. If you don’t, there will be a war.”

It is Hasneti who has already started the war of conquest.

If she finds out that Limon has come to Africa, will she be fine?

Absolutely not.

Of course, Limon wasn’t going to take it easy no matter what Hasteni did, but it was clear that things would get worse when he collided with her head-on.

“Hmm, that’s what I’m worried about anyway. Even if I go to Africa, I think I will buy some insurance.”

“You mean insurance?”

“okay.”

It’s like I’m really curious.

Looking at Li Qingyu with a puzzled expression, Limon continued with a meaningful expression.

“If something goes wrong, there is a princess who declared that she would risk her life to prevent the worst.”

‘Damn it!’

Hanjeongguk was on the verge of going crazy.

It was tolerable until, out of nowhere, the Russian Khanate’s army and the United States’ fleet moved and detained a diplomat in Africa.

The situation where the presidents of all Seven Dragon Groups entered the country.

It was because I could comprehend that each country acted sensitively to protect the factor.

The withdrawal of investment money and the shutdown of the power plant were just business problems or accidents.

But I couldn’t get past that until what happened after that.

Sudden food blockade.

Plant closures and material cuts.

paralysis of the financial system, etc.

Because the country has turned into a mess overnight due to threefold economic sanctions out of the blue.

‘Why the hell are you doing this!’

Even the hardships that befell them were much harsher than those of the Seventy-seven Chinese Federation or the Holy League.

This is because, unlike the two countries that were able to minimize confusion thanks to the Black Dragon and White Dragon clans, they had to face economic sanctions on their own.

Still, he did his best.

Hire players to run power plants.

Ask agricultural players to produce food.

Such as receiving daily necessities from production players.

As a strong country with a famous Infinity Guild, it fought against economic sanctions with all its potential.

But the results were disappointing.

No matter how great the players’ abilities are, there is a degree.

It was only possible for the Demiurge Guild with the Creator Lord to block the economic sanctions of the three Seven Dragon Groups.

‘These damn players don’t listen to me…’

Even moving the players wasn’t easy.

It was because the higher level players had the guts to raise their ransom.

Even among them, there were many crazy people who demanded unconditional immunity or large amounts of money from the national budget.

To the point of wanting to just catch them all and make them do forced labor.

But it couldn’t be.

If we did such a thing in this situation where the PAB was disbanded and the force on the players was weakened, it would only increase confusion.

‘Even if the infinite lord only moved that damn human!’

Han Jeong-guk gnashed his teeth.

If the Infinity Guild had taken the initiative, it would have been easier to mobilize players.

However, even in the midst of this, because Lee Chun-gi did not break the seclusion, the Infinity Guild either stood by or looked after the situation for personal gain.

The government is about to turn inside out.

That’s why I couldn’t dare put pressure on the infinite lord.

In the end, Han Jeong-guk, who was terrified, found an alternative.

After mobilizing all diplomatic capabilities, it succeeded in inviting a guest who could finally resolve the situation to the Blue House.

“I will ask straight forward.”

However, Han Jeong-guk did not welcome the other party.

No, rather, he hardened his face.

I had been persistently inviting them from before, but it wasn’t just because I was hurting my pride that I finally visited the Blue House.

It was to interrogate her.

“What is the reason your group is imposing economic sanctions on our country?”

While the other princess had already returned home, she remained in this country even though she traveled back and forth every day.

The blue-haired, uniformed princess, who was the only one of the seven to respond to his invitation, spoke after a moment of silence.

“I cannot tell you why.”

“Why?”

“This is because it is deeply intertwined with the internal circumstances of our Seven Dragon Group.”

“…You mean you’re destroying our country’s economy because of your internal circumstances?”

“Personally, I regret it.”

“Count Ivosio Rose!”

Han Jeong-guk shouted in a fit of fuss.

It was an extremely disrespectful act to treat a noble from a foreign country, and even to a person invited as a state guest.

Still, Rose wasn’t angry.

No, I even felt pity.

The Commonwealth of China and the Holy League, but especially the people of this country were the victims of the conflict between the seven dragons.

For a merciful woman, it was a pity.

But in the end that’s all.

Although Rose sympathized with the people of this country, she had no intention of directly intervening in the situation.

Responding to this economic sanctions could possibly hinder the three clans, including Charlotte, and help Li Qing-yu.

It was something that Rose, who tried to maintain the stability of the Seven Dragons by maintaining neutrality, should never do.

It was obvious that if a civil war broke out between the real Seven Dragons, the current economic sanctions would be considered a joke.

However, it would become a worldwide scandal if it was revealed that all of this was just a simple bride competition.

Rose had no choice but to express her sincere regret.

That’s why she accepted an invitation that she didn’t have to accept.

To represent the Seven Dragons, to apologize at least, and to help without breaking neutrality.

“Hey hey…!”

However, Han Jeong-guk did not understand Rose’s good intentions.

Because I had never met the blue dragon clan.

I had only heard of that character through rumors.

Even so, he was regarded only as a made-up story unique to the ruler.

That’s why Rose’s attitude of regret while refusing help or explanation was mistaken for pretentious behavior.

Rose is also on the side of those who impose economic sanctions, and the fact that this abominable princess responded to the invitation itself may be mocking herself.

Normally, he would have been more cautious.

However, Han Jeong-guk, who was already overworked and stressed, unconsciously accepted the suspicion.

So he cried out.

“If you guys are really going to do this, I have an idea too!”

“I understand that you are angry. But…

” “But, please stop and lift the economic sanctions against our country right away! Otherwise, I won’t leave the Seven Dragons Group alone!”

Han Jeong-guk said firmly.

And it made me feel refreshed.

The fact that he had struck a blow at a foreign power that had thrown the country into chaos relieved him from being filled with resentment.

but right after that.

he hardened

“…If you don’t want to leave our Seven Dragons alone.”

From the first time we met until now.

Rose, who was embarrassed by her confident attitude.

Because she suddenly looked at him with cold, cold eyes.

“What do you mean?”
