Solo Swordmaster

#741. It wasn’t a jerk.

* * *

Dark violinist.

A disguised identity created by Limon to learn how to handle the Seven Arcs.

Even after that, I used it a few times to hide my identity, but that was an old story.

After his true identity was revealed to the princesses of the Seven Dragons, Limon didn’t pay much attention to it, let alone rewrite it.

Liberation Brigade.

world federation.

Sword Master.

Princess of the Seven Dragons, etc.

Since last year, I have been entangled in all kinds of problems and have been busy trying to solve them, so I couldn’t afford to waste my nerves on other useless things.

But that’s why Limon didn’t know.

How is the disguised identity that he used and discarded recognized in the world?

when viewed objectively.

He was truly a strange being.

Due to the nature of being able to reach the pinnacle only when harsh practice is added to natural talent.

Famous violinists usually win competitions or stand out in music schools from an early age.

He had no past.

After suddenly appearing in the world through video.

Appeared on a broadcast with the world’s best singer, the singing Sunbaek.

Also, during the London crisis, playing a violin ensemble among the rampaging shadow monsters.

It’s only a few times that he’s shown himself in front of other people, and it’s all out of the blue, mysterious, so bizarre.

He is half an urban legend in the sense that if there were no video records, he would have been suspected of even being a real person.

Or it was like a ghost.

Nevertheless…

no, that’s why his popularity spread even faster and more addictive.

An unknown sense of mystery.

A fantastic performance that remains as a few videos there.

The combination of the two has created a fan following of a kind of self-knowledgeable mystical genius.

…to the point where the number of fans easily surpassed the 100 million mark later on.

It was not publicized because he was so inactive and his performances and videos were rare, but his popularity was already at a world-class level.

There are countless fans regardless of social status, even in a wild town.

So it was.

Why did Ferrick feel a headache at this moment?

“Is it true that there was a blackmail letter?”

“okay.”

“With the promise of terrorism if the performance doesn’t start by midnight in four days?”

“that’s right.”

“…I’ll be thrilled.”

Ferric touched his forehead.

He was already anxious about checking the route due to Lee’s leaked information.

But since this happened.

What if things go wrong?

You may be sued and have to vomit billions of dollars.

“How could the sheriff run around with such a force that it would blow fire out of its mouth…”

Ferrick is not the only one who is frightened.

From the sheriff in charge of policing the city to the mayor who is in charge.

Because everyone was running around as if their feet were on fire, running wild all the way to find the culprit.

It was natural.

The dark violinist is already a world-class musician.

There were even rumors that he was sponsored by the Seven Dragon Group.

But what if it’s known that you’ve been threatened with a performance?

Even if he dies or gets injured?

Depending on the situation, this already desolate city in the wilderness would become more desolate, or a riot might break out right away.

“Who is the suspect? Are there any clues to catch the culprit yet?”

“That’s what I’m asking.”

“No, that’s right.”

Ferric groaned.

The bar is a place where you can see all kinds of information as it mediates for the gunman who acts as a back alley solver.

It was only natural that he should know first, as he doubled as an informant halfway.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t come here to get information. It will be like that for some time to come.”

“Because of my boss?”

“CEO?”

“…to be escorted.”

“Ah, besides that nobleman, there are a lot of problems these days.”

“What problem?”

“A lot. Either they are expanding their territory in the dark, or the three guns that went to hunt the fallen spirits are dead…” ”

…The three guns are dead?”

“okay. Until the Black Dogs appeared, the three of them were aces.”

“What happened? He wouldn’t have been an idiot to fail in hunting the spirits.”

“I don’t know that, so I’m freaking out. Seeing that even the remains of the armor have disappeared and only the corpse remains, it seems that the thieves got stabbed in the back while hunting spirits.”

A problem if there are bandits roaming around that can catch an ace gunman.

If it’s for any other reason, that’s a headache too.

A moment to complain.

Ferrick suddenly came to his senses.

It was because I realized that I had confided in things I shouldn’t have recklessly said because I was so stressed out.

“Keuhmm anyway, this side is also a mess, so it’s hard to use your hands that far.”

No matter how many times the threats were sent, it was not confirmed whether they were real or children’s jokes.

The circumstances are not good enough to step into the blackmail case, which is already being investigated by the sheriff.

After saying it like an excuse.

Ferrick said one more serious thing.

“So Black Dog. Be sure to tell your employer. Stay calm and stay out of Leviathan until we catch the culprit.”

“…well, that’s how it is.”

Looking at Ferrick like that pathetically.

Black Dog nodded.

And I thought.

I wouldn’t even need to say it.

After all, the solicitor who used to run out of doors at Leviathan probably wouldn’t have to go outside in a situation like this.

* * *

“…the boss.”

“Why are you blind?”

“First of all, I am not a dark dog.”

I know that saying this would only make this nasty solicitor more amused.

Even so, I couldn’t let go of being treated like a dog, so I thoughtlessly said a word.

Black Dog got to the point.

“And heresy, didn’t I tell you to stay calm at the hotel?”

“It did.”

“…but why did you come here?”

“Can’t I come?”

“Isn’t it natural that it shouldn’t…?”

Not even Leviathan.

A restaurant in the middle of the road.

Black Dog was dumbfounded when he saw the black-haired man sipping wine while eating steak at an outdoor table.

“What if the blackmailer tries to kidnap the boss because he thinks it’s an opportunity?”

“It’s better if you aim for it.”

“…what do you mean?”

Maybe it was because it was so unexpected.

He said calmly to Black Dog, who inadvertently raised one eyebrow.

“If it’s a mosquito that appears anyway, it’s not annoying and neat to lure it out and catch it with a fly swatter, rather than just drive it away.”

“Are you saying you’re going to be a bait yourself to stop terrorism?”

“I feel dirty when the wrong person suffers needless harm because of me.”

“…reckless.”

“Even if it’s reckless, any princess I know would have thought that this was a matter of course.”

“I don’t know who he is, but he must have been an idiot risking his life for nothing.”

Black Dog snorted.

To risk one’s life on something like pride that doesn’t even cost money.

If it were me, it was a foolish thing I wouldn’t do even if I died and woke up.

“No, I wasn’t an idiot.”

But what Black Dog said.

Lee adamantly denied it.

And he looked at her with calm, sunken eyes.

“That was her pride.”

“….”

Everyone else.

Even she herself thinks so.

He said that only he would acknowledge and respect that pride.

Watching him speak calmly.

Black Dog fell silent.

Normally, I would have snorted and said sarcastic remarks.

For some reason, just hearing those words strangely made my heart suffocate, and the words didn’t come out.

In the end, it was the moment when she couldn’t stand his calm gaze and forced herself to open her mouth.

“I’m a fan of Mr. Lee! Please sign it!”

“Please let me hear you play just once!”

“Li li li!”

“…I hope you’re popular, boss.”

“I’m a bit popular, though.”

Black Dog’s eyes went cold.

Although the sheriff’s deputies are blocking the entry.

Fans who managed to stick out between the barriers and shout cheers.

In particular, seeing Lee scratching his cheek while being stared at by young women made me feel calm.

To the point where he couldn’t understand why he was agitated by this solicitor’s words.

‘I guess I got the heat too… Or maybe it’s because of this perfume.’

I thought I got used to the scent as the frequency of headaches gradually decreased.

I guess I was just arrogant.

After humbly reflecting.

Thinking that from now on, she should at least prepare a mask, so she drank cold water to regain her senses.

I was going to drink

Quaang!

…unless a nearby building suddenly collapsed and a huge shadow appeared.

“What is it?”

“Isn’t that a cavalry soldier?”

“Some idiot has maneuvered the cavalry in the middle of the city!?”

Seeing the armor protruding out of nowhere, the fans gathered around him vomited curse words.

This is a wilderness.

It was not uncommon for a drunk gunman to get into an accident with armor.

However, Black Dog hardened his face.

‘That’s…!’

A blunt head without a neck.

Large-caliber firearms mounted on both arms.

Thick iron armor unified in yellow.

Up to a size of almost 4 meters, which is especially large for a reinforced exoskeleton that is usually around 2 to 3 meters.

Whose armor belonged to that armor, which was made plausibly for a mixed armor cavalryman, who

was all different.

Because I knew.

So it was.

What she could immediately shout out.

“Terrorism!”

One problem.

Not everyone was as quick-witted as Black Dog.

“what?”

“Terrorism is a joke…?”

“What kind of event is this?”

From fans crowding around them to other passers-by.

The general public is still making a fish-eyed expression because they do not understand the situation.

Belatedly, the frightened deputies evacuated their citizens and moved the reinforced exoskeleton that was in standby to try to subdue the armor.

Even though it is a mass-produced product, the armor they use is also a high-tech reinforced exoskeleton made in Russia.

I don’t know if it’s one-on-one.

If three or four rushed at it, it had the ability to take down most of the cavalry.

…If it’s ‘tolerable’ cavalry.

Kwagwagwang!

“Huh!”

“You killed Bo Sheriff?!”

“No, not dead! The cockpit of the Bahamut-made armor is double-armored, so the pilot is still safe!”

“It doesn’t matter now! Everyone run away!”

“Kyaaaagh!”

It was a moment.

The street became a mess.

People screaming and running away.

Even the sheriff’s deputies who turned blue after seeing their colleagues who fell in the blink of an eye.

While everyone is out of their minds.

Black Dog, who saw the armor coming towards them after knocking down four sheriffs with a terrifying rapid fire, urgently tried to evacuate Lee.

“Boss, let’s run away…?”

“escape?”

but right after that.

she hardened

Even in the midst of this chaos.

It was because, far from being shaken, he heard Lee’s question as he was still cutting the steak.

“why me?”

“Why? Can’t you see that?”

“I see, so what?”

“…”

“I told you. When a mosquito appears, you have to catch it with a fly swatter.”

Doing it.

Chew the steak and swallow it.

Drinking a sip of wine.

Li slowly raised a hand.

Then, he pointed at the approaching armor with the tip of the knife he was holding.

“So, are you blind?”

“…”

“Go and ask.”

I paid expensive money and hired a bodyguard to use at times like this.

No, the solicitor who speaks with a smile on his face.

Looking at his grandson, who was not even a guest, Black Dog had no choice but to harden as it was.
