Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 288

#288. Like us, you too.

Whoa whoops!

A jungle full of trees.

There was a group of people frantically crossing the middle.

Just a moment ago, I tried my best to hide in the jungle to avoid the eyes of the green dragon clan.

Now they were running desperately to get out of the jungle.

‘I have to inform you!’

He felt that his subordinates were gradually falling behind, but he did not care.

Either throw away all your subordinates.

even lose one’s life

Because he had a reason to get out of here.

‘I have to tell you this at all costs!’

Fortunately, the green dragon clan was so thrilled that they couldn’t notice it no matter how fast they ran through the jungle.

But this confusion won’t last long.

As if they immediately chose to escape after seeing the incident in the jungle.

The green dragon clan will blockade the jungle soon.

To prevent this from leaking out.

So, before the green dragon clan came to their senses, they had to get out of this jungle at all costs.

they just saw

What I felt with my whole body.

Because they didn’t even deserve to die until this tremendous truth was revealed.

With such determination to die.

They became a gust of wind and raced through the jungle.

straight in one direction.

* * *

The war between the green dragon clan and Forrest left a big scar on Sao Paulo.

Of course, dozens of buildings were destroyed.

The Forest Guild collapsed and even the monarch Gula died.

Even the green dragon clan, which exerts enormous influence in Brazil, could not hide this fact.

If not, the green dragon clan would have been caught up in the criticism.

But fortunately that didn’t happen.

Thanks to Li Qingyu’s sufficient measures in advance, the responsibility for this situation was completely passed on to the treasonous Forest Guild.

The green dragon clan became the victim of trying to prevent the situation with good intentions.

It was the so-called victory of money and power.

Of course, the biggest reason was that Gula, who had transformed into a giant monster, openly invaded the city.

Anyway, for that reason, the situation of the green dragon clan was not so bad even right after the war.

The problem was rather the other side.

It wasn’t long ago that magic lord Carol died and shocked the whole world.

This time, even the death of the monster lord was not enough, and the forest guild was also destroyed, so the aftermath could not be small.

Thanks to that, the world stock market, especially the Brazilian stock market, which had barely regained stability, was in chaos again.

“Sell it!”

“But if we sell now, the loss is too great. First of all, you should watch a little more…”

“You crazy bastard, do you think the Brazilian economy will remain intact when the teenage guild has collapsed? If you don’t want to die, sell it right away!”

Even though they were teased for being ragtag, Forrest is one of the top ten guilds.

Looking at the status of high-level players, each of whom is called a one-man company, the annihilation of Forest is tantamount to the simultaneous bankruptcy of hundreds of companies.

The dungeon by-products they were providing were cut off.

In this iron age, that alone was fatal to the national economy.

Besides, even if it was suppressed, there was a coup d’état, and a part of Sao Paulo collapsed.

Those who believed that this would cause Brazil’s economy to decline for 30 years sold their stocks like crazy.

“buy!”

“Do you really live? I don’t know what the situation in Brazil will be like now.”

“Invest in stocks related to Quetzalcoatl, not Brazil! Do you think Quetzalcoatl, one of the Seven Dragon Corporations, will be shaken to this extent?”

Conversely, those expecting a solo run by the Green Dragon clan, which had no competitors, bought related stocks like crazy.

Quetzalcoatl was a company in which the princess owned 100% of the shares, but instead, the shares of its affiliates were tradeable.

Why is the stock price so crazy?

The Green Dragon clan also had to run around busily taking care of affiliates rather than dealing with the war.

It was fortunate that the deceased Gula had such a bad personality and was a monarch who hadn’t been active recently.

If he had dominated the world economy like the golden monarch or dominated the item market like the creative monarch, he didn’t know if the economy would really collapse.

But at this very moment.

Maia had completely stopped caring about the family’s situation.

“What a great body.”

“If it is sexual harassment, I will decline.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I am talking about your resilience.”

“I guess the fact that you smashed my arm bothered me?”

“Hey, I’m just curious as a researcher.”

“Of course you would.”

It was only yesterday that one arm was almost smashed.

With no trace of the wound left, Limon smiled.

“Rather than that, how is your body, master?”

“Are you still calling me master?”

“You don’t look too heartless if I call you my former master right after the contract is over.”

“Still shameless.”

Quetzalcoatl’s splendid hospital room.

Maia, who was lying on that huge hospital bed, was sneering.

“As you can see, I’m fine now.”

As if Limon’s question was not a common greeting of visitors.

Maia’s answer was also not the empty words that all patients usually do.

It was easy to tell just by looking at the blood on her face, which was always full of disease, and her pink lips.

It wasn’t just complexion.

After using himself as a test subject.

If you don’t take medicine, the seizures that happen steadily and the pain that soars.

The fact that she was quiet even after taking off her medication for the past few days proved that she was really ‘fine’ now.

“It’s a problem because it’s too good.”

“Does that matter?”

“The goal I’ve been pursuing all my life has been solved so easily by a swordsman like you.”

Luxurious.

Although fluffy.

just normal

so unfamiliar.

Maia laughed as she touched the bed she was lying on.

She was always able to fall asleep only in specially formulated mineral water to avoid poisonous air leaking out while sleeping.

But to fall asleep in such an ordinary bed?

It still felt like a dream.

“Well… I’m sorry that it sounds like seconds, but that’s not what I meant.”

“I know.”

Maia nodded.

In these few days of self-examination, she was able to find out a lot.

that the body is fine.

shortened life expectancy.

being able to control poison.

That all of this is the result of Limon using the eighth dragon psionic to breathe the life force of the entire Amazon into her.

And…

“Including that this may be a temporary phenomenon.”

few days as short as possible.

One month at a long time.

It also means that his health will deteriorate again in it.

It was natural.

The vitality Limon gave him only repaired his body damaged by the experiment and increased his lifespan.

It had nothing to do with Maia being able to control miasma now.

At that time, it was thanks to Limon’s dragon psionic, which permeated with her vitality, synchronizing and filling her imperfect parts.

But psionics are volatile forces.

Thanks to the vast amount, only remnants still remain.

Over time, Limon’s dragon psionics will eventually run out.

Then the toxicity will also lose control.

His own miasma will gnaw away his lifespan again.

In the end, the miracle Limon caused only bought her a little more time. He was unable to completely overcome the punishment of heaven.

“But this is enough.”

“Enough… do you really think so?”

“You kept your oath.”

Still, Maia was not disappointed.

For her, who had lived in frustration all her life, expecting something was even stranger.

“Well then, it seems that I brought this for no reason.”

So it was.

She couldn’t help but make a strange expression as she scratched Limon’s cheek and took it out.

“…what is that?”

“What would you like? It’s a hospitality gift.”

Vivid petals as if they were alive.

Fresh-looking leaves.

Similar to the stone carvings made before.

But as he held out a flower, this time pure silver and more elaborate, Limon smiled meaningfully.

“It’s also something that will be a temporary solution to the owner’s troubles.”

Maia puts on a suspicious expression.

Limon reached for her head instead of explaining.

Even though she flinched at Limon’s impudent behavior, Maia did not hesitate to stop him.

It’s about this kind of behavior anyway, because I’ve gotten used to it a lot through service.

but right after that.

Maia raised her eyebrows.

The moment when Limon neatly decorated his hair with fragments.

It was because I felt a subtle scent that I had smelled before but that was much thicker and clearer than before.

No, it wasn’t a scent.

Her senses as a princess mistook something beyond her five senses for a scent and accepted it.

And that fact meant one thing.

“Dragon psionic…?”

“yes.”

“It’s not enough just to play, so you’re saying that even this thing contains dragon psionics?”

“I also gained something from this incident.”

Limon laughed.

Should I call it a blessing in disguise?

There was a lot of work, but thanks to that, the main purpose of coming to Brazil was accomplished.

This fragmentation was a testament to his achievements.

“…you surprise me every time.”

Maia was dumbfounded.

Preserving psionics in objects?

In a way, it was more absurd than the eighth dragon psionic.

I don’t know if it’s a creature.

Even seven dragons couldn’t preserve psionics in things.

However, the person who made an achievement that no one has accomplished in the history of the Seven Dragons shrugged calmly.

“Unfortunately, not to a permanent level. A few months at most.”

“In the meantime, I will allow you to control the miasma.”

“That’s how it is.”

“You know that, but you’re just going to give me this?”

“???? ??? ?? ??? ???? ? ???? ? ??????.”

“…”

A few months later.

after a few years

If you feel unwell, tell me anytime.

Then he said he would come back with a gift for visiting.

Looking at Limon, who seemed to be saying nothing, Maia fell silent.

An object containing the eighth dragon psionic.

To Maia…

no, it was a treasure that any princess of the Seven Dragons would want, even if it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Even so, you’re willing to give me something like this.

The action was so absurd that it was even enigmatic.

It was all the more so because after 10 days, I no longer had to stick to my position as a slave.

So it was.

It was then that Maia was able to confirm one fact that she had previously guessed.

“Limon Aspelder.”

to confirm your own guesses.

she called him

and asked

“Why do you keep doing me this favor?”

“A favor?”

“You’re not the kind of person who visits others in the hospital or carelessly gives gifts like this.”

“…Do I look that hard?”

Limon was trembling.

I didn’t expect to be treated cold-blooded even though I brought gifts.

But Maia wasn’t saying this specifically to criticize him.

“It may not be as much as Li Qingyu, but I also know something about you.”

With the opening of the Iron Age, sword masters are also treated as obsolete, but she is the princess of the green dragon clan who never forgets Eun-won.

As a subject to be revenged someday, she had investigated Limon.

“A mad dog, a swordsman who doesn’t care about his enemies, a personality breaker whose hobby is assaulting his superiors…. There have been so many nicknames that have been attached to you in the past few decades.”

“…If you were trying to embarrass me, I’ll say it worked.”

“Don’t say anything you don’t mean to say.”

Something I hadn’t realized before.

Maia cynically said, however, that she had only come to understand the ten days she had spent with Limon.

“Anyway, these nicknames you got on purpose.”

“What are you talking about?”

It’s like you don’t know the meaning.

A question asked casually.

Maia clearly ignored the lies that reminded her of the Black Dragon clan.

And he recalled Limon’s actions.

“You are not an idiot who only believes in his own strength and goes wild like Gula, but a cunning Noh Kang-ho who can use as many ways as necessary.”

You can tell just by looking at the past.

There was no way that he, who had perfectly behaved as a slave, could not even lead a simple life.

In a sense, one of the most perfect ways of living was slavery.

“But you didn’t dare to do that. Rather, you have been more outspoken than anyone else.”

I’m going to take a look at the bad things.

Any opponent who is not worthy is not left alone.

He makes sarcastic remarks to his superiors, ignores the human rights of criminals, and puts his fists ahead of words.

It was to the point where he could only be seen as an old man who always causes problems rather than a legendary hero who is over hundreds of years old.

It’s as if I purposely decided to get that kind of evaluation and bought it.

When Maia thinks

There was only one reason.

“You saw our clan and called it a hedgehog pushing others away, but wasn’t that actually your own story?”
