Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 381

#381. I hope you get well soon.

It’s been a long time since I looked at the black-haired girl smiling while talking about the catastrophe that this country will one day face.

The white-haired girl opened her mouth expressionlessly.

“It is too wasteful.”

“Yes, there is a quicker and simpler way.”

As the Black Dragon Princess, who is more skilled in conspiracy than anyone else, she readily agrees.

Li Qingyu shook his head.

“But I wouldn’t use it that way. Then it will be a nuisance to the swordsman.”

What if the country collapsed in one day?

Many will realize that this is because of Limon’s absence, and they will ask him for help again.

If he helps you, you’ll appreciate it for a moment, but soon you’ll take salvation as a right and ignore Limon.

If you don’t help, the person who gained wealth and power as a hero who saved the country will curse you for being shameless.

As it has been for hundreds of years.

“The swordsman probably won’t mind, but I have no desire to see people who don’t deserve it insult him and try to take advantage of him.”

“…”

“So they’ll make themselves realize how lucky they’ve been.”

not in a hurry

slow and leisurely.

This will happen over and over again.

People will accept the wave of mutual doubt that seeps in little by little over the next 5 years or 10 years without any sense of incongruity.

Like a frog that doesn’t even know it’s being cooked in a boiling pot.

“But eventually someone notices.”

“does not matter.”

Those with insight and insight may be able to realize the gradual change and arrive at the truth.

But nothing changes.

The difference between a prophet and a false prophet is one piece of paper.

No matter who claims that the chaos in society is intentional, people will not pretend to hear.

If it were revealed that the Seven Dragon Group was behind it and that all of this happened because of Limon’s absence, they would burst into laughter.

The more you try to save the country, the more you will be ridiculed and dismissed as a madman.

“Because realizing this situation itself will be the price they have to pay.”

Realizing the vacancy of the swordsmith,

regretting and longing for bloody tears to flow.

It is the price that those who had the ability to realize the contradictions of a country that is protected by one individual’s strength, but who neglected it and said that it had nothing to do with them.

Li Qingyu said with a smile.

“The more followers of the prophet, the greater their insult.”

“…”

“And when you find out that the false prophet was real, it will be the point where you can’t turn back even if you want to turn back already.”

“…the Prophet may succeed.”

“Then I should accept it too.”

to perish without knowing anything.

Whether you realize the truth and despair.

whether you repent and try to fix it.

It is up to the people of this country themselves to choose it. I have no intention of intervening there.

At the end of the very kind words, Li Qingyu added a word.

“The odds of that happening are lower than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.”

“…”

Ainsha fell silent.

How many prophets and prophets were buried.

It wasn’t just because she knew better than anyone else as the priestess of the Holy League and the White Dragon Princess.

Because I finally understood.

Just like Limon was testing the Seven Dragons.

As the princess of the Black Dragon Clan, which has taken East Asia as its territory, Li Qingyu is trying to make sure that the country is worthy of his rule.

The difference is one.

Unlike Limon, who was an objective but generous examiner, she will become a subjective and ruthless examiner.

“Lee wouldn’t want that.”

“But you won’t stop either.”

If she had taken her own hands and tried to destroy the country, Limon would have said straight away that she didn’t have to avenge her instead.

But if it’s to the extent of testing like this, I’ll just watch.

this might have happened someday.

Li Qingyu’s actions only made the conflict that would arise decades later a little faster and deeper.

“Above all, this is just the beginning.”

Unless Limon blocks it.

whether decades have passed.

whether hundreds of years have passed.

He will test and see if this country is worthy of being ruled.

This country regrets what they have lost and will gladly accept the rule of the Seven Dragons, who have been benevolent whenever they fall into chaos.

Li Qingyu, who spoke calmly, smiled brightly.

“I have a long back end.”

For a while, let’s look at the princess who has a long tail and is good at scheming, more than the Green Dragon clan, who is the most persistent in the Seven Dragons.

Ainsha nodded with an expressionless face.

and said

“All right. Then do your best.”

“Thank you for your support.”

I know nothing more about her purpose, and I don’t care what she does to this country.

Ainsha made a blunt promise.

Li Qingyu also naturally accepted her support.

Whatever other princesses do in their territory is their freedom.

Even more so, it was possible for Rose, the blue dragon princess, to sympathize with this country that had abandoned even Limon.

…The great thing was that even Rose had to cut her hand once and for all.

“Anyway, the test is done, so all that remains is to apply it.”

Hwareuk.

Until he reached out and picked up a scented candle and lit it.

Hearing what Li Qingyu said as he replaced the fragrant candle with a new one, Ainsha nodded.

“The Holy Alliance is already preparing. All gods and other denominations are cooperative. Within 10 days, food can be distributed nationwide.”

“The problem is on our side.”

The Commonwealth of China is the largest country in the world.

No matter how much Dagda’s cauldron was mass-produced, it took a considerable amount of time to supply food to hundreds of millions of people.

Still, if she took the lead herself, the time required could be reduced to a minimum, but…

“I want to know if Li Qingyu is still unwell. ”

“My body is fine. The backlog of work is the problem.”

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

For some reason, I couldn’t even get my hands on work for a few days.

In addition, it was her current state that she was still unable to return to work in earnest because she was so overworked.

I don’t know if it’s from another clan.

Her absence was fatal to the Black Dragon Clan, whose main duties were handled by Li Qingyu.

It’s fortunate that Youin and Wei Ling handled the urgent agenda while leaving their original duties alone.

It was laughable in that it almost paralyzed the entire economy of the Commonwealth of China.

It was even more so when I thought about the cause of this situation.

“This is the first time I’ve heard that the princess has become ill. It’s a surprise. I wonder what and how overworked you are.”

“Well, it’s probably because I’ve been tired for a long time.”

So it was.

He said he didn’t know what to do with a princess who could fight without sleeping for a week.

Li Qingyu lied to Ainsha, who was expressionlessly tilting her head.

“…Can fatigue alone make you sick?”

“I think that’s how it is to be physically ill.”

“Is that so…?”

Maybe it’s because I’ve lived a life free from illness.

Ainsha, who blinked after hearing her lie, which was as natural as the Black Dragon Princess, looked at her blankly before opening her mouth again.

“Anyway, do it in moderation. Competition will be fiercer in the future. Li Qingyu is in trouble if he keeps getting sick.”

“I was just thinking that I should be more careful.”

Li Qingyu honestly reflected.

It was not enough to waste several days in such a critical situation and even get sick.

He said he was very upset because of Rose, but it was so foolish that he couldn’t answer even if he thought about it himself.

…Even though it was her honest feeling that she couldn’t help but blush if I asked her if she regretted it.

“For now, Tiamat’s Chinese Federation branch has been instructed to cooperate. A little, but helpful.”

“Thank you for your consideration, but are you okay? Ainsha, you wouldn’t be in such a relaxed situation either.”

“This is fine.”

The task of responding to economic sanctions has been left to the elders, so they have this much leeway.

Ainsha calmly said what would have been moaning if the elders of the White Dragon Clan had predicted it, and Ainsha added one more word.

“Above all, Li Qingyu and I are allies. This kind of consideration is natural.”

“…That’s right.”

Maybe it’s because his friendship with Rose left a deep impression on him.

Li Qingyu put on a slightly strange expression when he heard the words, which were natural, yet strangely unfamiliar.

Because she hadn’t told Ainsha about Rose’s work yet.

Originally, as an ally, of course, but…

‘As expected, that would be too dangerous.’

Li Qingyu muttered inwardly.

Even Rose’s betrayal of the Seven Dragons wasn’t enough, to the point that even herself couldn’t contain her rage when she found out what she had done.

Knowing that fact, even Ainsha, who is good at controlling her emotions, doesn’t know how to react.

Maybe even start a war right now.

Li Qingyu, who condoned even Rose’s atrocities in order to prevent internal strife in the Seven Dragons, could not take such a risk.

“Then I will go. Take good care of yourself.”

“You, Ainsha, work hard too.”

That’s why Li Qingyu didn’t mention Rose until after all, Ainsha got up from her seat.

It was only before she left the room that she opened her mouth.

“Oh and Ainsha?”

“Have you forgotten something?”

Li Qingyu smiled at Ainsha, who stopped and looked around before leaving the bedroom.

“Thank you for coming to visit me. A gift too.”

Let’s stare blankly at Li Qingyu, who holds up a small crembo freshly made in Dagda’s cauldron.

Ainsha said quietly.

“Nothing. Tata’s homemade non-crembo is delicious.”

That moment.

Li Qingyu blinked.

It was because Ainsha had the feeling that she had seen something strange before she turned around and left the bedroom.

That is, her mouth, which was always expressionless, curved slightly.

‘…It must be because of my mood, right?’

The expression on Ainsha’s face.

Li Qingyu couldn’t help but put on a strange expression even though he thought he was seeing something wrong because he was in bad shape.

* * *

Jerk off.

When Li Qingyu was lost in thought.

Ainsha, who came down from the penthouse, moved slowly.

And the faint smile that Li Qingyu had seen was still on her face.

what’s so funny

It’s transparent like a snowflake, but that’s why it’s with a smile that clearly reveals emotions even faintly.

Ainsha suddenly muttered.

“I hope Li Qingyu will get well soon.”

right after that.

Suddenly, his expression disappeared again, as always…

No, he was more blunt than usual, with a very inorganic face that could be mistaken for a doll.

And more than that, he looked back at the hallway he had passed through with eyes that sank transparently and showed no emotion.

Ainsha recalled.

I tried my best to cover it up with the smell of incense and decoction.

Even so, the same soggy scent smelled from the secret room where Dagda’s cauldron was made that couldn’t be hidden.

And when Limon’s fingers touched his lips, he sensed another unfamiliar scent buried in the smell of him and Li Ching-wee.

Geek.

Is it because I inadvertently grabbed power?

The palm-sized cauldron she was holding was crushed like clay, but Ainsha didn’t care.

The self-proclaimed weakest member of the Seven Dragons.

However, he is definitely a descendant of the dragon.

And of course, the one with the best sense among the seven princesses.

The white-haired girl, who disallows others’ predictions because she is the best prophet in the world, opened her mouth coldly, recalling the black-haired girl who was her ally.

“The price of forgetting my warning will be high.”
