Solo Swordmaster

#649. What do you say?

* * *

The not-so-distant past.

when he and she first met.

Limon served as a slave for ten days in exchange for Hermann’s medical bills.

And the most he did as a slave was to serve Maia.

In particular, after their identity was revealed, Arbella and Barbara, who were originally aides, took over all of the field attendants.

Because that was the only thing he could freely contact with her, whose breath was toxic.

In that sense, Maia was used to being served by Limon.

…No, I thought so.

Seruk.

but this moment.

Maia flinched.

I couldn’t help but shudder.

A hand placing a thin, soft piece of cloth along the slender calf.

It was because that delicate touch lightly stroked the smooth skin like a coincidence and made me feel a tingling sensation.

“…Don’t play with Limon.”

“What joke? Am I just helping a tired priest?”

“If you’re going to help me, that means don’t do anything stupid. Don’t you know that there are not one or two things that have been delayed because of you?”

“Don’t be so heartless,”

he said back.

to the end of the long leg.

After putting a piece of cloth on top.

Limon whispered playfully.

“You were so cute at night.”

That moment.

Maia raised her eyes.

It wasn’t because I was angry.

Hearing Limon’s words, the memory of the dizzying pleasure he spent gasping in his arms came to mind.

It made her face slightly warm.

“…there is no such thing as an unscrupulous person.”

“Is it okay if I say that? If I am unscrupulous, you will be an unscrupulous bride.”

“Is that what you mean?”

“Because I am, I can say it.”

Like seeing the world’s trash.

Even with sharp eyes.

It’s a while to laugh at Maia, who couldn’t even hide her reddened earlobes.

Limon bowed his head.

even while staring at him fiercely.

I can’t stop my beating heart

Eventually, Maia lifted her head and kissed Limon.

no i was trying to fit

“princess.”

“I have something to tell you.”

…if it wasn’t for the sound from outside the moment the two of them were about to put their lips together.

Thanks to that, before it overlaps.

For a while, I want to narrow my eyebrows to the naturally far away lips.

Maia opened her mouth as usual, but with a particularly cold voice.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s a call from the Black Dragon Princess.”

“There was a word to tell the swordsman right away.”

“A princess? what?”

Limon, who had been scratching his cheek in the same way, was making a puzzled expression.

Outside the door of the closed flower garden.

Barbara spoke earnestly about why she had to rush to find them.

“They say they found out the culprit who raided the Midas auction house.”

* * *

When the World Federation was launched.

They were truly majestic.

Of course, they showed off their strength by televising their inauguration ceremony all over the world.

He openly confronts the Seven Dragons.

Because I even put pressure on it.

So, until then, officials of the World Federation had no doubts that the World Federation would soon push out even the Seven Dragons and seize world supremacy.

no matter what anyone says

The 7 guilds are the losers of this era.

No matter how much wealth the Seven Dragons have.

Being pushed out of the World Federation, which has countless high-level players, was a set procedure.

…until the peacekeepers who confidently dispatched to Africa returned as if they had been kicked out even after pouring a lot of money into it.

Even so, until then.

Few doubted the World Federation.

Africa is a land of war that no one has touched.

It was quite possible for even the World Federation to intervene and fail.

Most of all, the potion business that started shortly after that made him convinced that the World Federation was the loser of the New World.

…until nectar came along.

The New Testament of Quetzalcoatl.

A miracle, the secret wish of mankind itself.

Nectar turned the world upside down.

I wonder if it is a sword master who has reached the highest level or a superman of the absolute class.

It is said that money can buy immortality, which could not be obtained without any hard work in natural talent.

That fact was enough to roll everyone’s eyes.

In particular, the wealthy, who had only a few days left to live, became frantic and raked in nectar.

Of course, nectar is sold on the black market at hundreds and thousands of times in many countries due to numerous hoarding.

Even so, it was not enough to count the number of people who could not buy nectar even if they had money.

That wasn’t all.

The true value of nectar is the repair of telomeres in DNA.

That means that even diseased cells can be regenerated.

For countless people suffering from incurable diseases, nectar became the only hope and gospel.

The voices yearning for nectar continued to flow out to everyone, regardless of whether they were noble or lowly.

and the result.

Gradually, the potion was neglected.

Being able to replace healing was obviously great, but if you put it the other way around, that’s all.

Dungeons or battlefields.

Or maybe it’s a rescue site.

Potions can be replaced with healers in almost all situations, whereas nectar cannot be replaced.

It had no choice but to be pushed out by nectar.

Of course, the production wasn’t that much for a supply in the first place.

Distributors who traded potions even circulated rumors that it was difficult to purchase nectar,

and the effect of the potion being pushed back, of course, reached not only the Saint Guild, which led the business, but also the World Federation.

this moment.

It was for this reason that serious air flowed in the conference room of the World Federation.

“…You mean you’re going to end the potion business?”

“I have no intention of quitting.”

A woman in a court dress.

Holy Lord Johanna shook her head slightly.

“I just gave up on further business expansion.”

“That’s what it means.”

“I can’t help it. As long as there is nectar, it is impossible to compete with Quetzalcoatl in the pharmaceutical market.”

A muscular middle-aged man.

The Creator frowned.

In fact, the power of Quetzalcoatl is about to pierce the sky.

Everyone here knew that competing with them in the pharmaceutical business would be a waste of money and manpower.

“That’s why you shouldn’t have received the support of the Federation long ago.”

“I failed even with two sword masters, so would it be meaningful to support more than that?”

“That’s…”

Even so, the Creator, who couldn’t stand it and added another word, had no choice but to keep his mouth shut at Johanna’s point.

What kind of existence is a sword master?

everyone already knows

However, even after taking the two sword masters, instead of finding the millennial flower, one of them even returned to a dying state.

Even with empty words, I couldn’t blame Johanna for her lack of preparation.

Rather, it was overflowing.

It was only their bad luck that they ran into Limon.

“…Did I just lose my investment money again?”

An old man fiddling with silver coins.

At the words of the golden lord, the other lords sighed.

As the potion business was sponsored by the World Federation, not only Saint Guild but other guilds also invested a lot.

It was a damage that could not be ignored for those who had already suffered great losses due to the failure of the peacekeepers.

The Creator added a word with a heavy face.

“Particles matter more than money.”

“Is that so too?”

“Now, there are people who doubt the capabilities of our alliance, and the morale of the guild members is also shaking.”

It was unavoidable.

Once as a peacekeeper.

Once again with the potion business.

Two consecutive failures were enough to shake the World Federation’s solid position.

On the other hand, the Seven Dragons are gaining momentum centering on the Red Dragon clan that won in Africa and the Green Dragon clan that created nectar.

either inside.

either outside.

It was only natural that suspicious glances would arise.

“You don’t have to worry about standing…”

The woman with purple hair.

It was for this reason that Command Lord Wanderer spoke in a gloomy voice.

“In the end, what matters is strength. If we start a war right now, we can wipe out the Seven Dragons.”

“Didn’t we agree to avoid all-out war?”

“That’s an old story….”

“It’s the same whether it was before or now.”

“I agree that fighting the Seven Dragons head-on is too costly for business.”

“I would also like to resolve things peacefully if possible.”

“I also believe that all-out war should be avoided.”

A man wearing monocle glasses.

At the words of Infinite Lord Lee Chun-gi, after the Golden Lord, the Divine Lord, and the Creation Lord agreed, Wanderer bit his lip.

The World Federation is an alliance of seven guilds.

It was unreasonable to go ahead with a war despite the opposition of four monarchs.

The Creator gave her a decisive blow.

“Above all, our power is not perfect right now.”

“That’s…”

“Don’t force yourself. At least you know that we should avoid fighting until all the Sword Masters have recovered.”

“…”

Wanderer could not object.

I wonder if it was a time when all sword masters were intact.

Starting with the Sword Master, a number of Sword Masters have already been lost or are being treated due to a series of clashes.

Now, it was difficult to guarantee that even if we had an all-out war with the Seven Dragons, we would definitely win.

A monster that even sword masters stick out their tongues.

Especially considering that Limon Aspelder has the Seven Dragons.

“Then what are you going to do…?”

“I’ll have to carry out my next plan.”

Are there any complaints left?

In a gloomy, subdued voice, the warehouse lord answered quietly to Wanderer’s question.

Then he slightly turned his head and looked at the golden lord.

“Golden Lord, it’s time to start the ‘Last War Project’.”

The Eden Plan fails.

The ideal that the Seven Dragons are on a winning streak.

The only way to reverse this situation is Midas’ plan.

Listen to what the Creator said.

The Golden Lord shook his head.

“The Last War project is not ready yet. I can’t run it right now.”

“You mean that time wasn’t enough?”

“It is not a matter of time. It is a matter of money.”

The Last War Project is so important that even Midas must risk life and death, and it requires a huge amount of money.

As much as they suffered considerable losses due to the failure of the peacekeeping force and the Eden Plan.

His project had to be delayed as well.

“Above all, I have someone I need to deal with before the Seven Dragons.”

“What does it mean?”

“I heard there were gangsters who raided my auction house not too long ago.”

“attack? The Midas Auction House…?”

The eyes of the other lords were all stained with suspicion.

Midas wanted to keep the credit.

The Black Dragon clan wanted to avoid being framed.

Due to their silence, the raid on the auction house was kept in strict secrecy, and few other 7 guilds knew about it.

“Is this what the Seven Dragons did?”

“It is unlikely. The criminals disguised themselves as the Seven Dragons and raided the auction house.”

“…Did you say they were disguised as the Seven Dragons?”

“Yes.”

“Do you mean that someone schemed to get us into an all-out war with the Seven Dragons?”

“It’s possible, but interrogating the captured raiders revealed a very interesting story.”

Ting.

snap your fingers

After throwing the rolled silver coin into the air and receiving it again.

The golden lord turned his head.

And sit in this conference room.

those who looked at them.

It is no exaggeration to say that they were the pillars of the World Federation and said coldly, looking at the other six monarchs.

“It was one of the lords present here who ordered the raid on my auction house.”
