Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 882

#882. the answer?

* * *

Who did it.

Don’t be new to life.

Do all things go through ups and downs?

It is said that the person who was winning yesterday could go bankrupt today, and the person who begged tomorrow could make a fortune the day after tomorrow.

And in the United States of America.

Las Vegas is the place that best demonstrates the immutable truth of that proverb.

Originally, it was the most prosperous city of wealth and pleasure in the United States.

However, the massive terrorism and raids carried out by the Liberation Brigade to obtain clues to the Seven Arcs left Las Vegas with deep scars.

The Golden Dragon Clan restored the collapsed building with a huge amount of money, but that’s all.

Few of the departed citizens returned, and the number of tourists decreased even more, and the splendid streets became desolate.

It will take a good decade for Las Vegas to forget the scars of terrorism and regain its former prosperity.

That’s what all the experts said.

…so it was.

Until the golden lord dies.

The Midas Guild was a force that divided the Golden Dragon clan and the United States of America based on its enormous financial power.

However, with the death of the Golden Lord and the collapse of the Midas Guild, great economic and political upheaval occurred in the United States of America.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party, which was sponsored by the Midas Guild, has weakened.

Because the momentum of the Republican Party dominated by Fafnir rose to the sky.

Especially after the collapse of even the World Federation.

The hegemony of the United States of America has passed into the hands of the Golden Dragon Clan.

The place that benefited the most was, of course, Las Vegas, the home of the Golden Dragon clan.

From the few survivors of the collapse of the Midas Guild, to the homeless who lost all their assets and went bankrupt.

And on the contrary, even those who made a fortune in the chaos.

Anyone wishing for a chance to recover.

Whether you want more wealth.

Whether you are just looking for entertainment.

Thousands of people flocked to Las Vegas.

only one month

That was the time it took for Las Vegas to fully recover its former glory.

Even as time passed, Las Vegas was rather welcoming a new heyday beyond restoring its previous prosperity.

It was hard to believe that just a few months ago, it was as desolate as a ghost town.

But anything in the world.

Where there is light, there is darkness.

Some cities have risen, like Las Vegas, while others have fallen horribly.

Most of them were the gardens of the Democratic Party.

While the Midas Guild collapsed and was in chaos, the city’s key talents and businesses leaked out to Las Vegas.

Even the most robust city had no choice but to stumble.

Of course, few places have been as destroyed as Wall Street, which has been degraded from a mecca for investment to a hotspot for investment.

It was of no consolation to the authorities in each city.

“…I’m going crazy.”

So it was.

The reason why the man couldn’t help but frown.

Of course, compared to the mayor who was about to die, his situation was much better.

he’s the sheriff.

how is the economy

It was enough to protect the city.

The problem was that the simple task was becoming increasingly difficult.

“Karl staged the robbery?”

“Yes, Sheriff. They even mobilized their armor to rob a bank and try to escape.”

“…was this because it was discovered in advance?”

“Anyway, it seems that it was burdensome alone, so I gathered my colleagues, but a quarrel broke out over the distribution issue, so it seems that they even shot.”

It’s really bloody.

from floor to ceiling.

Of course it was full of bloodstains and bullet marks.

Looking at the space where five or six corpses were scattered among the broken bottles and broken furniture, he made a more grim expression.

“why? Carl, for a gunslinger, must have saved up some money, right?”

“The property seems to have been the problem.”

“What do you mean?”

“I checked and found out that Carl left most of his assets to a brokerage firm, and that brokerage firm was, of course, an affiliate of Midas…

”

Only then did he understand the situation and pressed his temples with his fingers.

If it’s the first time it’s happened.

I would have just cursed once and moved on.

However, the fact that these incidents have been happening one after another every day made him suffer from chronic headaches.

“Take care of the aftermath.”

“Yes, Sheriff.”

So it was.

That’s why he left the scene after leaving the sheriff’s deputy to clean up.

I don’t know if it’s normal.

It is because the security situation in the city is not good these days to waste time cleaning up after such a small incident.

He stuns a drunkard with a stun gun when his business goes bankrupt and commits suicide.

Setting a fire and driving a robber who robbed a jewelry store into a pit of fire, etc.

After running around the city all day.

Carrying a barely quiet walkie-talkie.

he sighed.

It’s fortunate that he gained superhuman stamina through the cyborg treatment.

If he was a normal person, the work he had to deal with was so enormous that it wouldn’t be strange if he had collapsed from overwork.

So he had no choice but to curse.

‘The Damned World Federation.’

‘Stupid golden lord.’

‘?It’s like the fucking Seven Dragons.’

If you want to die, you will die gracefully. The golden monarch who ruined the world economy by making all sorts of reckless investments.

The World Federation, which was destroyed in just over a year after its establishment, making the chaos irreversible.

And even the Seven Dragons, who caused all this and neglected the confusion that it was not their territory.

For a while to resent everyone.

He let out a heavy sigh.

Whom do you blame now?

There is no way this situation will change.

Rather than wasting his emotions in vain, he decided to have a drink and shake off his fatigue, and headed straight ahead.

Sigh.

But open the door.

The moment you enter a familiar bar.

He couldn’t help but harden.

“It’s been a while, Sheriff.”

As if you were waiting

The gray-haired man sitting at the bar counter waved a hand at him and continued.

“Should I call you the shaman of the Continental Guardian?”

Big, red skin.

tattoos on the face.

Even prosthetic arms on both arms.

In the past, Limon and Charlotte arrived in the city where Faust’s quill was hidden while chasing the remnants of the Liberation Brigade.

Sheriff of Rushmore City.

A member of the Continental Guard.

The stout bison is a white-haired man with a meaningful smile and a short black-haired cowgirl next to him.

Then, without saying a word, I looked at the familiar blue bird pecking at the snack bar.

* * *

“What’s going on?”

“Hmm, why don’t we talk over a drink? Aren’t we supposed to just ask and answer questions for free?”

“What are we doing?”

“What kind of relationship is between exchanging guns and knives with each other.”

“…Did you come all the way here just to joke with me?”

“It’s hard to be unkind.”

fed up

Seeing Limon laughing and tilting his glass.

The stout bison frowned.

The Continental Guardians, who even caused a spirit uprising in order to regain the glory lost in the golden age.

For them, Limon, who disbanded the Continental Guardians in return for stopping the spirit uprising, was the subject of love and hatred.

Especially in that he is the teacher of Geomyeong and Geomrang.

Still, if you look at it as a whole, in fact, the weight of the benefactor was greater… but the problem was that Limon had recently joined hands with the Seven Dragons.

The Golden Dragon Clan is the nemesis of the Continental Guardians.

If so, then Limon naturally became an enemy.

However, Limon looked at him who was on high alert and spoke calmly.

“Don’t be so vigilant, witch doctor. We even cooperated together last time.”

“…Remember how an entire section of Rushmore City was blown up because of that?”

“I don’t remember. Including that thanks to your cooperation in evacuating the citizens of the district, we were able to finish without a single casualty.”

Let’s watch Zigsi Limon for a while.

after letting out a heavy sigh.

The strong buffalo, who quickly emptied the drinking glass in front of him, asked casually.

“What do you want?”

“It’s not that great. I was just stopping by to see if I could make some accommodations on the way.”

“What side do you mean?”

“I have some business to go to the Indian Territory, but I want to get a pass if possible.”

That moment.

The mighty bison raised its eyes.

Then, he glared at Limon with a hard face that was incomparable to that of a moment ago.

“Do you think I will do that favor?”

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t give it to you. It’s not like I can’t go there because I don’t have a pass.”

It’s just that we’re trying to reduce the things that bother each other a little bit.

What Limon said leisurely.

The stalwart bison couldn’t deny it.

I don’t know if it’s someone else.

He knew very well that Limon couldn’t go anywhere if he wanted to go.

“Of course, I’m not asking for free. I will repay you for that.”

“What do you mean in return?”

“I’ll fix the mess in Rushmore City right away.”

“…do you think that’s possible?”

“Do you think it’s impossible?”

“…”

Conflict was young in the eyes of the strong bison.

It would be easy for the Seven Dragons, with world hegemony, to clean up a city like this.

It would have been possible to take sufficient measures in the line of Ellis, the incumbent president of the United States, without the need for the Golden Dragon Princess to step forward.

It was a really desperate compensation for him, who was suffering from the messy situation of the city.

But…

“…the Indian Territory is our territory. Even you cannot permit passage without knowing the purpose.”

“Hmm, if you want to get a pass, clarify your purpose?”

“Is there any reason why you cannot state your purpose?”

“Reason….”

As if contemplating whether it would be okay to tell him.

Limon closed his eyes and fiddled with his glass.

It wasn’t the way I was going to do anything particularly bad, but it wasn’t something I was going to talk about openly either.

Especially against the shaman of the Continental Guardian.

However, if you want to pass through the Indian Borough anyway, you can’t hide it forever.

after a long thought.

He suddenly opened his mouth.

“Are you aware that among the Sword Masters resurrected by the World Federation, there were repairmen who could run?”

“Of course…?”

while answering involuntarily.

The stalwart bison hesitated.

Then he opened his eyes wide and asked.

“You mean the Sword Spirit is now in the Indian Territory?”

“maybe.”

“Nonsense! If that’s the case, there’s no way our Continental Guardian wouldn’t have known about it!”

“I think you could have found a sword master who was determined to hide and run away?”

Even the Black Dragon Princess mobilized all the information power of the Seven Dragons Association to find faint traces, almost like reasoning.

Do you think it would have been possible for the Continental Guardian to find her?

To Limon’s plain question.

The stalwart bison couldn’t bear to answer.

Instead, he glared at Limon with a harder face and asked softly.

“…What are you going to do after finding the Sword Spirit?”

“You have to do what you have to do.”

“….”

“So what is the answer?”

If you don’t give me a pass, I’ll go on my own.

The stalwart bison, who had been silent as he watched Limon speak leisurely, opened his mouth heavily.
