Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 304
#304. How much can you pay?
* * *
“I want to ask you this first.”
A little while to remain silent.
Charlotte clasped her hands.
And asked with an expression that he did not like it blatantly.
“Why did you prepare a higher seat for the swordsman than me?”
“…Hey, Charlotte. I think the order here is to ask why you came with the swordsman.”
“That’s it, doesn’t it matter anyway?”
“Doesn’t it usually matter?”
Whether or not Yekathrice scratched her head and begged for porridge.
Charlotte didn’t care.
It’s like you’re asking me to answer.
He just looked at Li Qingyu with arrogant eyes.
“Don’t worry about the swordsman. You didn’t come to disrupt our meeting like yesterday.”
“Does that mean you came as an observer?”
“no. You could say it’s a bit more special qualification.”
Looking at Charlotte with a strange expression, Li Qingyu smiled.
And Ainsha blinking her eyes, Yekatrice smiling interestingly, Hasneti smoking a cigarette silently, Rose with a puzzled face, and Maia with a sneer.
After looking back at all the princesses, he opened his mouth.
“Before I explain, may I answer your suggestion, Charlotte?”
“Try it.”
“My answer is no.”
No princess was surprised by Li Qingyu, who rejected Charlotte’s offer of preserving her life if she offered up Limon and asked for forgiveness.
Rather, I took it for granted.
Only Maia raised her eyebrows slightly.
However, at Li Qingyu’s words, the other princesses also made an unexpected expression.
“I have something to suggest instead.”
“You’re not in a position to make us an offer, are you?”
“No, I can do it.”
Li Qingyu asserted.
Then he looked straight at Charlotte and said.
“When you said that my words were persuasive, it means that you acknowledged that the engagement between me and the swordsman was legitimate.”
“That doesn’t make your sins go away.”
Charlotte said arrogantly.
Getting the eighth dragon psionic means you can resurrect dragons.
In some cases, it could be seen as a betrayal to resurrect the dragon, swallow the entire Seven Dragons, and rule the world.
Especially since she is the Black Dragon Princess of conspiracy and scheming.
“I’m not trying to defend myself.”
Knowing how meaningless his excuses would be, Li Qingyu did not bother to persuade them.
I just smiled.
“I just wanted to ask how much I would be willing to offer if I sold my rights as a fiancée.”
And there was silence.
The other princesses, of course.
Even the masters of the Seven Dragons in the back looked at Li Qingyu with bewildered expressions.
The first to ask was Rose, who couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
“What does that mean?”
“It is literally.”
“I’m asking because I don’t understand that.”
“…isn’t that right?”
As if I knew that.
Li Qingyu nodded.
When she first heard this story, she had to be dazed for a while.
“That is a funny story. What qualifications do you have to sell us the authority?”
Charlotte snorted as if it were ridiculous.
Now Li Qingyu is a traitor who tried to monopolize dragon psionics and is a criminal who must be punished. Because I didn’t dare to say such a thing.
Li Qingyu also seems to agree.
said with a wry smile.
“do not misunderstand. It’s not me who wants to sell it.”
“If not you, who…”
Charlotte hesitated for a moment.
No, all the princesses, not just her, looked behind Li Qingyu with a puzzled expression.
To see the gray-haired man sitting on the steel chair.
to them like that.
Limon said coolly.
“Yes, I am willing to sell it.”
It was because I was so stupid.
Limon rested his chin on one hand before the princesses fell silent again.
“To begin with, I don’t like this situation.”
“….”
“As if the eighth dragon psionic is definitely yours, and everyone has to obey your decisions.”
deep and calm
No more languid.
So with colder eyes.
Rose inadvertently averted her eyes at the gaze as if she was watching puppies barking without knowing how scared the tiger was, and Ainsha caused an earthquake in her pupils.
Take a moment to look at them gently.
Limon laughed.
“But please understand. It would be natural for you.”
“It sounds like you are willing to give us your dragon psionics.”
“Of course not. There’s no way I, no one else, could readily cooperate with the dragon’s resurrection.”
Understanding and cooperation are different things.
Limon, who said it clearly, had a cold sneer.
“I’d rather kill a resurrected dragon again, I don’t know.”
“…!”
A cold life flows.
If someone else had said such a thing, the Seven Dragons would have stepped forward and delivered a terrible end before the princesses even gave the order.
But they only have the intent to kill.
I couldn’t get into action.
He is Limon Asfelder.
Because he was the only one who could put that absurd statement into practice.
However, only Charlotte did not raise an eyebrow at Limon’s words.
Rather, it was just an interesting expression.
“Are you still trying to sell us the right to marry you?”
“As long as I have the eighth dragon psionic, you guys will never give up.”
Limon replied languidly.
As an nemesis who had fought against the Seven Dragons for a long time, Limon knew them well.
So I could say for sure.
That Charlotte would never give up on herself, even if it meant going to war or killing all of the Seven Dragons.
“Because even for me, it’s pretty tiring to go to war with you again now.”
Confronting the Seven Dragons does not just mean that you have to fight against the princess and many other masters.
It means turning all the countries of the world they have occupied into enemies.
In addition, Limon did not have the confidence to win head-on if he attracted the old guild with his enormous wealth.
Unlike the past when it was called the Demonic Cult, the present Seven Dragons had the power to move half the world.
“In return, I have the confidence to make you tired too.”
But don’t forget.
He is the last disciple of the Sword Emperor.
That he was one of the three sword masters who fought against the seven dragons that ruled the world during the Bronze Age and finally won.
It’s like fighting against the whole world.
It is nothing new to him.
“But that’s not what neither I nor my bride want.”
Take a peek at Li Qingyu.
Seeing her calmly nodding her head, Limon continued quietly.
“So I decided to give you a chance.”
“…A chance to make you your sire?”
“okay.”
“Will you buy that opportunity instead?”
“The name Dragon Psionic is a waste to give it away for free.”
“…”
“I’m asking in that sense.”
Limon slowly turned his head.
And after looking back at the princesses, including Charlotte, all of them looking at him with strange expressions in turn.
asked grimly.
“How much can you guys pay for my ransom?”
and.
A strange silence descended.
If someone else had made this suggestion, it wouldn’t have created such a strange atmosphere.
Whether it’s things, skills, or life.
It was in this age of iron that you could buy and sell anything with money and you had to get used to it.
The problem was that it was Limon who said that.
‘That’ swordsman selling himself?
Even including dragon psionics?
How much Limon has been rampaging to prevent the dragon from resurrecting over the past hundreds of years.
The princesses of the Seven Dragons, who knew better than anyone else, could not help but be suspicious of the plan.
Especially since his fiancé is Li Qingyu.
But everywhere there are people who prefer to act rather than think.
Ainsha clenched her fists while the other princesses looked at Limon with suspicious eyes.
and shouted loudly.
“One trillion pounds.”
…no, I was going to shout.
before she even opens her mouth.
That is, if it weren’t for a single muddy voice that crossed the air.
“I will pay a lump sum in Egyptian pounds.”
Ainsha and other princesses blankly looked back at the person who said the words.
“…I want to know if Hasneti just accepted Lee’s offer.”
“Because there is no reason to refuse.”
To fight Limon, the Seven Dragons must also risk their fortunes.
Even so, I can’t guarantee that I can safely capture him alive.
Given that kind of loss and risk, wouldn’t it be natural to choose to buy a dragon psionic no matter how much money it costs?
Ainsha blinked expressionlessly as she watched Hasneti sucking in the smoke after Najik spoke.
I don’t know if it’s another princess.
To say that it was natural for the Red Dragon Princess to avoid fighting.
It was as hard to believe as the Black Dragon Princess telling the truth or the White Dragon Princess making wise decisions.
“Ahahaha! It’s definitely not wrong. We are also wealthy businessmen now, so we should buy what money can buy with money.”
what is fun
Yekathrice, who was the first to come to her senses, burst into laughter.
Then he raised his hand and shouted.
“In that sense, I have 5 trillion rubles! Um, in this country’s won, it was about 75 trillion won?”
“…Two trillion pounds.”
“What, suddenly 140 trillion? Okay then I have 10 trillion rubles!”
“Five trillion pounds.”
Its appearance is truly a mess.
Catherine raises the price excitedly, and Hasneti follows without raising an eyebrow.
From Rose making a conflicted expression as if feeling the urge to shop, to Maia tapping the armrest with her fingers as if looking for an opportunity.
It was a sight as if the extremely solemn branch of the Seven Dragons had turned into an auction house in an instant.
However, there was no princess to stop it.
As Hasneti said, it wasn’t just because of rational judgment that there was no reason to reject Limon’s offer.
If you win this auction.
So, if you get Limon.
I might be able to monopolize the eighth dragon psionic.
The possibility that suddenly appeared in front of their eyes was spurring the instinctive desires they had inherited from the dragon.
“49%!”
So it was.
The reason why Ainsha, who was expressionlessly confused after losing her player, was able to strengthen her resolve and participate in the battle again.
“I will give you a 49% stake in Tiamat. So, Lee will marry me.”
Hasneti and Yekathrice, who had competitively raised their auction prices until now, hesitated.
Whether it’s 10 trillion or 100 trillion.
Unlike money that can be earned again, the stake of the Seven Dragons Group is the right to control the Seven Dragons.
It was the ownership of the goose that gave birth to infinite wealth, and at the same time, it was the key foundation that supported the authority of the princesses even in this iron age.
Right now, Li Qingyu sold his stake and lost his leadership over the clan.
“…is that serious?”
“of course.”
But Ainsha did not hesitate.
It was nothing new for her, who had been proposing to marry Tiamat from the beginning.
And seeing the white-haired girl, the silver-haired girl narrowed her eyes.
“Hmm…?”
“That’s right. So if you don’t have the confidence to add more, give up…”
“49.9% of Bahamut’s shares.”
“…!?!?”
Could it be because he did not know that even Yekatrice would stake a stake in the holding company?
Or is it because I didn’t think there would be a way to suggest a shameful 0.9% increase?
When Yekarrice laughs as if she is really enjoying herself while looking at Ainsha, who has become expressionless.
“49.9% of Apophis shares, plus 5 diamond mines along with Egypt’s co-pharaoh.”
“Hmm, are you going there? Then I’ll give you half of the Russian Khanate for a 49.99% stake! A special sale in half a country! Isn’t it amazing?”
“…!”
Now, seeing the two princesses competitively raising prices, including not only the share but also the country, Ainsha caused a pupil earthquake.
As an Egyptian pharaoh, Hasneti exerts absolute influence over all military governments in Africa.
As the Great Khan of the Russian Khanate, Yekatrice dictates one of the most powerful countries in the world.
Compared to those two princesses, there was a limit to what she could sell in the Holy League.
Still, Ainsha, who couldn’t give up, wondered if there was a way to get a bonus even by selling the holy temple or god.
Rose, who calculated the funds being used to restore London, now looks as if she is being tempted by the devil beyond conflict.
The moment Maia finally stopped tapping the armrest with her fingers and opened her mouth with a sneer.
“100%.”
A haughty voice rings out.
It caught the attention of all the princesses.
astonished
distrust.
perplexity.
I don’t know.
anger.
Whether or not the other princesses were looking at her with eyes full of emotions, Charlotte didn’t care.
He looked directly at Limon with arrogant and lofty eyes and suggested his ‘price’ in a languid voice.
“I will give you 100% of Fafnir.”
“…!”
“Including Leviathan’s shares, shares of all affiliates held by the Golden Dragon Clan, and personal assets.”
