Chapter 593
#593. If you do, you will know.

Las Vegas.
Even in the middle of the desert.
A city bustling with entertainment.
However, restoration work was still in progress at the place that had been ruined after being attacked by the Liberation Brigade.
However, the speed was terrifyingly fast.
Normally, it would be around the time the wreckage had been cleaned up.
In Las Vegas, I had already finished organizing and was now almost finishing up.
The reason is two.
One is because the Golden Dragon clan is pouring in a huge amount of money to the point where it’s different.
The other is that the recovery method is so unique.
Koo Goo Goo Palace.
Like a tree that grows after rain.
After the steel frame wriggled and rose.
Cement, water, sand, gravel, etc. swirl in the air and cling to the steel frame from the bottom.
walls, floors, ceilings, pillars, etc.
Amidst the rapid hardening of cement, which has formed the shape of a building tens of meters high.
Electric wires and drainpipes wriggling as if they were alive naturally burrow into them and spread like blood vessels throughout the building.
The windows that had been piled up one after the other rise up into the air and fill the open windows.
So when a little time has passed.
There were no more building materials there.
Only the most elegant and luxurious skyscrapers soaring high into the sky were showing off their appearance.
“This is the end of this area.” Jeans
that fit snugly against the legs,
a half-buttoned shirt.
to black sunglasses.
A blonde beauty sitting cross-legged, revealing a rich body and off-white color that could not be hidden even in relatively ordinary clothes.
When Charlotte stopped twitching her fingers, the cowgirl behind her offered her coffee.
“You have worked hard, my princess.”
“What is suffering? This is just a pastime.”
It wasn’t humility.
Telekinesis is an all-powerful power.
Even a city could be disassembled and reassembled, so building a few buildings like this was nothing more than boring work.
And that was the reason Las Vegas was being restored at an alarming rate.
The problem was on the other side.
“How is the atmosphere in the city?”
“Unfortunately, the casino’s income is still cut in half.”
“Hmm, it will be quiet for a while.”
Looking at the streets that were still empty compared to the restored city, Charlotte murmured languidly.
Buildings can be restored.
However, it is difficult to recreate the image.
It was just a few months ago that Las Vegas was almost turned into a war zone due to the terrorism of the Liberation Brigade.
No matter how much advertising was done, tourists did not return easily, and even the citizens who were present were contemplating relocation.
“If you wish, we will gather migrants through government support.”
“It happened. What is the use of forcibly attracting those who do not like it?”
But Charlotte didn’t even raise an eyebrow.
Only those who run away are harmed.
It was an attitude that naturally showed the arrogance that there was no problem with his clan.
Charlotte asked Ellis, who nodded as if it was just as natural.
“What happened to the investigation?”
“Are you talking about the World Federation? Or…”
“Report everyone.”
“For now, the World Federation is not showing any action other than supporting the potion business.”
“Looks like the damage in Africa was great.”
As if I knew that.
Charlotte calmly agreed.
The goods used by the World Federation in Africa are so enormous that even the Seven Dragons cannot be ignored.
Besides, even the sword masters were injured.
Even the World Federation couldn’t be in the mood to do anything else for the time being.
In the midst of this, it was rather amazing that he had the capacity to support the potion business.
“However, given that the business expansion is slower than expected, it seems that mass production of potions is difficult or there is a problem with the supply of materials.”
“Are you saying that you just started working without properly preparing that much?”
“I must have judged that was enough to dampen the business of the green dragon clan.”
“Hey, it seems that our Seven Dragons are also quite underestimated.”
After a light snort.
Charlotte asked, swallowing a sip of coffee.
“So how did Maia respond?”
“I didn’t hear an answer.”
“What did you mean?”
“Currently, Green Dragon Princess is said to be absent.”
“…You mean that Maia was away?”
“yes.”
“Can’t you even contact me?”
“At least right now it’s difficult.”
That moment.
Charlotte made a strange expression.
Myagan, who refrained from going out at all times because of his innate toxin.
It was because it was not easy to guess why it was difficult to contact her because she was away.
and another one.
“If so, what about Li Qingyu and Swordsman?”
“Unfortunately, that is the case.”
“It is interesting.”
Limon, who has long lost contact.
Li Qingyu, who remains silent,
and even Maia, who has disappeared.
After reviewing the news one by one, Charlotte tapped the coffee cup she was holding with her finger
.
But it took something to just pass it off as a fluke.
It was Alice’s continued words that added confidence to her doubtful feelings.
“I have something else to report.”
“What is it?”
“That’s…”
After hearing Elise’s report.
Close your eyes and think for a while.
Charlotte finally opened her mouth.
“Ellis.”
maybe it’s raining
Then this would be a pointless waste.
However, like the Golden Dragon Princess who is not afraid of waste, she finally opened her mouth languidly.
“There is something you must do.”

After leaving the ruins that were the headquarters of the Forest Guild.
The expedition, including Limon and Maia, continued into the jungle.
There was nothing particularly difficult.
South America is the territory of the green dragon clan.
Even in the past, guiding them through the jungle was not very difficult because they were familiar enough to live in hiding in the Amazon.
But that was only the beginning.
the deeper you go.
The jungle gradually became rougher and
the speed of the expedition slowed down.
Even when the Venomous Dragons, who were guiding in advance, caught up while lost and wandering.
Maia stopped walking.
“This is it.”
“Do you think this is too difficult?”
“It’s been hundreds of years since we’ve been active on the inside.”
No matter how familiar the green dragons are in the jungle, the Amazon is a demonic realm where even they are difficult to operate.
I wonder if it was time to run away from Limon.
Other than that, even in the days when it was called the Demonic Cult, I didn’t go deeper into the jungle than necessary.
Those who knew deeper than this were rare in the present age as well as in the distant past.
“Well, at least this is more comfortable than I thought.”
Limon was not particularly disappointed.
Because I knew from the start that this would happen.
That’s why he turned his gaze to the opponent he had deliberately called for this occasion.
“Blue.”
[Why are you calling?]
“From now on, you take the lead.”
[Yes?]
A blue bird followed me in an unmanned vacuum cleaner.
Yuna-kyung blinked her eyes.
And it was only belatedly that he understood the meaning and opened his beak.
[You want me to take the lead? In this jungle where the swamp is infested with beasts and poisonous insects?]
“Yes.”
[…Does the team leader have dementia?]
“Shall I make you look like you have dementia?”
[Then why are you saying such nonsense? In the first place, I don’t even know the way!]
Yuna-gyeong protested desperately.
The green dragon clan, experts in the jungle.
Limon, who has lived a long time.
I don’t know which of them knows more about Amazon, but it’s clear that I’m the most ignorant among them.
But Limon didn’t change his mind.
I just laughed out loud.
“The road doesn’t matter. After all, this is Amazon.”
[What do you mean by that?]
“Just shut up and you’ll know.”
[Aren’t you too cruel to your cute pet?!]
Despite grumbling like that, Na-kyung Yun reluctantly spread her wings and flew up.
As long as Limon made this happen.
There must be a reason.
“Oh. If possible, don’t fly and ride a vacuum cleaner. Because that would be better.”
[What is better?]
“What is a guide?”
[That’s why I don’t know the way!]
…At this point, it was hard to know if there was a real reason or if he was determined to bully himself.
But what can I do?
It is the duty of a pet to do as it is ordered.
In the end, Yuna-kyung continued to grumble while taking the lead on the unmanned vacuum cleaner.
[Anyway, don’t you think our team leader is too much? If you’re going to make me do something, maybe you can explain a bit.]
Beep.
[yes? Do you think so too?]
Beep.
[No, but it’s a bit too much to run away…]
Beep.
[huh? A swamp ahead? Then I’ll have to go back a little bit.]
Bibibik.
[Then strike and negotiate a ransom? uhm well Whether I strike or not, I have to do something.]
…Beep.
[I’m not unemployed?! There is a certain job called a pet!]
Yuna-kyung, who was busy talking, didn’t realize.
The fact that the unmanned vacuum cleaner carrying itself is advancing smoothly through the jungle of the Amazon, where even the elite of the green dragon clan, the poison dragon squad, wandered.
And the fact that Maia is looking at her and the unmanned vacuum cleaner from behind with grim eyes.
“I can see why you brought me here as a guide.”
“yes?”
“But I’m not crazy either.”
Is it because the number of targets has been eaten?
He looked at Limon with a satisfied expression on his face with cold eyes.
Maia asked quietly.
“It’s not enough that I’ve taken such a dangerous thing with me so far, so I brought it all the way to Amazon. What do you think?”
“As any doctor knows, even poison can become medicine if used well.”
“There are degrees to poison.”
“Anyway, thanks to that, you’re making good use of it now, right?”
Seeing Limon smirk, Maia couldn’t help but frown.
There was no guarantee that he would be able to reach the depths of the jungle after months of wandering without the guide he had brought with him.
“Remember, swordsman.”
Before being the master of Quetzalcoatl.
As the green dragon princess who rules South America.
Maia, who had no choice but to assume the worst, warned in a cool voice.
“I mean, if that thing runs rampant in this Amazon, even you can’t be held responsible.”
It was by no means an exaggeration.
What kind of place is this Amazon?
Knowing better than anyone of her time, she was predictable.
If things went wrong, it would be impossible for even Limon to fully rectify them.
Even more so now that I have been caught in a cobweb.
“Don’t worry doctor.”
But even though there was no way he didn’t know that fact, Limon wasn’t particularly agitated.
Rather, he just smiled and responded calmly.
“It’s not going to happen, and then I’ll definitely be responsible.”
Have you already made up your mind?
Or do you believe in something?
Even in a situation where you should never risk it, you commit absurd things and say that you will take responsibility.
Looking at Limon, who has no choice but to be the protector of mankind until the end.
In the end, Maia had no choice but to mutter quietly.
“…Like a foolish man.”
