Solo Swordmaster

Episode #106. Do I look like a hoe?

“The beast is said to have been the ghost of the Liberation Brigade.”

“Oh is that so?”

One more time to nod.

Limon tilted the cup he was holding and sipped again.

Li Qingyu tilted his head as he looked at his sneering, or rather plain, appearance.

“You’re not very surprised.”

“I’m not old enough to be surprised by things like that.”

When you live in the world for a long time, whether a bomb explodes next to you or a king dies a violent death, you accept it because it is all the same.

Limon, who boasted of his age value like an old man who has lived a long time, added a word to it.

“It’s also something I expected.”

“…You knew from the beginning that the beasts belonged to the Liberation Brigade, right?”

“I didn’t know. I literally just guessed.”

“You are indeed sharp.”

“What is there to sharpen? It’s even weirder if you don’t notice.”

Limon snorted lightly.

His name is Limon, a former PAB agent who can be said to be the player’s criminal expert.

He, who even predicted their next target, couldn’t help but notice that the characteristics of Ryu Gang-chul and other beastmen were similar to those of the Liberation Brigade.

[Well, as the team leader said, there were a lot of clues.]

Yuna-kyung readily agreed.

In the first place, it is rare outside of the Liberation Brigade for high-level player criminals to act together.

It’s because only the Liberation Brigade is strangely difficult to track down, but usually, the more criminals act together, the easier it is to find clues with intelligence or prophecy skills.

What if we add the characteristic that all of them are military graduates or lunatics who have undergone military training?

On the contrary, it was even more difficult to find the culprits outside the liberation brigade.

“Indeed, it is.”

Likewise, Li Qingyu, who knew about it from a fairly early point, shook his head.

And he muttered like it was really strange.

“But the King’s family didn’t notice.”

[Ah, no way.]

“No, really. You finally became suspicious of the Liberation Brigade after I intentionally gave it to you via the Seven Dragons.”

Li Qingyu laughs and speaks like a joke.

However, Limon, who could understand that he was serious, put on a puzzled expression.

“Didn’t he hire a bunch of Tracers too? Still, no one pointed that out?”

“Because incidents involving the Liberation Brigade are not common. Most of them must have withdrawn at the point when the skill was blocked, saying there was no clue.”

Limon’s expression grew more strange.

The cases of the Liberation Brigade, which had many player criminals, were mainly handled by PAB.

However, because of Limon, most of the key agents of the PAB died and disintegrated, and the rest of the agents were scattered.

It is understandable that there is no Tracer in Korea who knows about the Liberation Brigade.

Yes, I understand, but…

“…Stupid Tracers don’t know how to do anything if they can’t use their skills.”

“It’s not just them. It’s the same as the masters of the Seven Dragons couldn’t find contact with the Liberation Brigade.”

“The problem is that Tracer, who earns his living with this, is compared to non-professionals.”

Follow-up is an obsolete technology.

Even masters who have mastered it are only non-professionals who inherit traditional skills as a hobby or as a hobby.

Tracer, on the other hand, is an expert.

The fact that those whose main job was investigation and tracking did not know this was proof that they neglected even basic information gathering by relying only on their skills.

[Well, these days, unlike in the past, you only need to handle skills well.]

“It’s as you said.”

I couldn’t even blame them.

This is an era where everything can be done easily, quickly and accurately just by using skills.

Experts in one field are those who can handle better skills better, and other skills or means are just an inefficient waste of time.

“Besides, it wouldn’t have changed even if the King’s family had noticed it earlier.”

“Yes, but…”

Limon agreed while clicking his tongue.

He knew that recognizing that he belonged to the Liberation Brigade would not have helped in catching the beasts.

That’s why he didn’t ask him to dig up the Liberation Brigade directly, even if he gave Wang Shi-sik a clue.

I didn’t know that I wouldn’t notice it until I caught Ryu Gang-cheol.

“After all, the important thing is not their affiliation, right?”

“Why?”

“yes.”

Li Qingyu readily nodded.

Then, pouring a new cup of tea into Limon’s empty cup, he calmly continued.

“Although the Seven Dragons are not a player-friendly faction, the Liberation Brigade has never attacked us so directly before.”

“That must have been because I didn’t want to die.”

Limon snorted.

“The Liberation Brigade must have been avoiding friction with us because they knew that we were at a disadvantage right now.”

Li Qingyu readily agreed.

No matter how many high-level players there were in the Liberation Brigade, that was all.

On the other hand, the Seven Dragons are a dark faction that almost overturned the world several times, and a conglomerate that still controls all the wealth in the world.

I wonder if it’s a teenage guild.

For the Liberation Brigade, a criminal organization, to attack the Seven Dragons was nothing but a suicidal act.

“But why are you attacking us now?”

In response to Li Qingyu’s question, which slightly tilted his head, Limon raised his teacup and sipped as he answered.

“Wouldn’t it be one of the two?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The first is that I now have the confidence that it is worth trying even against the Seven Dragons.”

“No, I absolutely cannot.”

“Aren’t you being too assertive?”

“I don’t know if it’s 10 years from now, but the Liberation Brigade doesn’t have that much potential right now.”

“Hmm…?”

It took a while to look at Li Qingyu with a strange face.

Limon nodded and agreed with her opinion.

Right now, the affiliates of the Black Dragon clan are suffering only because this is not their homeland and the beasts are hitting and running away with a small number of elites.

If we had fought head-on, of course it would have ended long ago.

If this was the Seventy-seven Commonwealth of China, he would have been caught within a week of doing some trick

.

“As you said before, you’re saying that we, the Seven Dragons, are aiming for something.”

“okay. I don’t know what the heck these idiots are trying to get their hands on, even preparing for an all-out war with you guys.”

“At least it won’t be money or territory.”

“Is it because the profit and loss calculation is not correct?”

“yes.”

It was a reasonable inference.

Fighting the Seven Dragons just for money or material gain is tantamount to burning down the whole house to light the candles.

“Hmm, then there’s a high possibility that you’re aiming for a special object or person that can’t be converted into money. That too was obtained recently.”

“If it’s been around for a long time, you’re saying it would have moved a long time ago.”

“okay. You may have found out later that it was there from the beginning, but if you think about it that way, there is no bottom and no end.”

It’s good to keep the possibility open and think about it, but right now I need to speculate a little bit.

Limon, who spoke calmly, asked casually.

“In that sense, can you guess anything? Any recent changes in your Seven Dragons?”

“Well, it’s not that there isn’t one…”

“Why are you looking like that?”

Li Qingyu, whose horse tail was slightly blurred.

She continued with a slightly perplexed expression.

“Recently, the biggest variable in our Seven Dragons is that the swordsman made a betrothal with me.”

“me?”

Limon blinked involuntarily.

he asked, scratching his cheek.

“You’re saying they’re doing this because of me? Did I blow up one of their headquarters?”

“It’s not like that, is it?”

“Of course, isn’t it?”

[If they did this to avenge their colleagues, the Liberation Brigade wouldn’t have been called a group of lunatics.]

Li Qingyu, Limon Yuna-kyung.

Two people and one unanimously agreed that revenge was unlikely.

Some criminal organizations have bloody vengeance as their rule, but the Liberation Brigade was a group that completely ignored camaraderie and loyalty.

“There is a certain degree of madness. Does it make sense that people who can’t even do anything about the Seven Dragons attack me?”

[Wow… I’m really unlucky, but I can understand it and I’m even more unlucky.]

“Isn’t there a possibility that they want something from the swordsman besides their grudge?”

“Okay. Because all I have besides a sword is this chicken and my body.”

[Ah! Don’t call me a chicken pigeon. If you keep doing that, I’m going to call the team leader the old man with a good face!] I

laughed for a while while watching Limon, who was holding on to Yuna-kyung and spinning it round and round.

Li Qingyu suddenly opened his mouth.

“Actually, I have a little bit of trouble.”

“You mean it takes?”

“yes. That the Liberation Brigade is an organization of players for players, by players.”

“Why?”

Limon is puzzled by the fact that he points out a fact that is too obvious.

Looking at him with eyes as deep and dark as obsidian, Li Qingyu asked in a low voice.

“Are players the only ones who benefit from the growing power of the players?”

That moment.

Limon made a strange expression.

And after a brief silence, he asked.

“…Do you have any basis?”

“For now, it’s just a heart attack.”

“That sounds scarier than saying there is evidence.”

“Because it deserves it.”

Limon and Li Qingyu shake their heads while having a conversation with a strangely missing subject.

Yuna-kyung, who had been blinking her eyes at the conversation between the two, suddenly asked, like a dove abandoned in a cage in a garbage dump.

[Hey, I have no idea what the story is about.]

“It’s not a very big story.”

“It’s an assumption that, without your clear evidence, is nothing more than a conspiracy theory after all.”

[Hmm?]

Whether or not Yuna-kyung, with her arms folded over her wings, makes a suspicious expression.

Limon and Li Qingyu continued their conversation calmly.

“I guess I have no choice but to ask myself.”

“If I can do anything, that’s the best way…”

Limon asked with a questioning face, more than Yuna-kyung sitting on top of her head with her arms crossed.

“Do you think Mr. Wang can open the mouth of that bastard who is that Ryu Gang-cheol or something?”

“No, not at all.”

“Why do you always give straight answers?”

“It’s information from a spy from the Shanghai royal family I’ve recruited.”

“…It’s good that you’re so thorough.”

“Preparation for emergencies and the ability to deal with spies are the basic qualities of a good bride.”

Were you happy to receive Limon’s praise?

Looking at Li Qingyu, who smiled shyly, Yu Naqing put on a puzzled expression.

[Absolutely not?! Aside from readiness, priests usually don’t plant spies to extract information!]

“Yes? But do you know that housewives usually spread certain information or dig up secrets under the guise of rumors whenever they get together?”

[That’s the communication of the local ladies?! It’s not a spy network!]

“Is there a difference between the two?”

[Of course there is!]

Yuna-kyung whose outfit is upside down.

Li Qingyu looked at her like that, tilted his head, then opened his mouth again.

“Well, anyway, even if you exclude the information from the spy, it’s clear that the King’s family hasn’t had much success.”

“Why?”

“Because the King’s family has applied for the use of an advisor.”

“…That Mr. Wang applied for an advisor to Leviathan? You want him to be tortured instead?”

“yes.”

the moment I heard the answer.

Limon raised one eyebrow.

Then, he put down the teacup he was holding and opened his mouth in a cold voice.

“I left it alone because I was too lazy to kill it, but now does this bastard look at me as a hukou?”
