Episode #110. conflicting intentions.

Hotel Leviathan is one of the most secure facilities, along with the temples of each religion, the base of the teenage guilds, except for national facilities.
It was for this reason that high-ranking officials and celebrity criminals from around the world favored Leviathan.
I donât know if itâs another hotel.
Because in Leviathan, it was absolutely impossible to get stolen or attacked.
flutter!
So at this moment.
The presence of a monster clad in black cloth infiltrating Leviathan through a window was frightening.
Especially in that the place where the monster broke into is not just an ordinary room, but the penthouse on the top floor, which should be the most secure in the hotel.
âHave you been well?â
However, the only guest and owner of the penthouse, the black-haired girl, was not surprised at all.
I just smiled roundly.
âOK.â
The monster calmly nodded.
Then, after grabbing the hem of the cumbersome black cloth, he threw it off and lay down on the sofa.
âDid you handle the bomb well?â
âDo you think you couldnât?â
âno.â
Li Qingyu immediately replied.
Then, looking at the white-haired young man who had even removed the bandage from his hand and returned to his original form, he added a word.
âBecause there is no way that the swordsman could not handle a single prisoner escorted by a single armed force.â
âSo thatâs why I went out to dispose of the bomb.â
I donât want to take on Ryu Kang-cheol.
Conversely, you canât take it.
Thatâs why Limon and Li Qingyu chose this method.
It was to dispose of Ryu Kang-cheol, who was escorted from the Shanghai royal family to the Leviathan.
It is like disposing of useless bombs by blowing them up in the field instead of disassembling them one by one.
âHas anyone noticed?â
âThose idiots with eyes thought I was a player who used the telekinesis skill and rushed excitedly.â
âI canât blame them.â
Li Qingyu chuckled.
And the bandages and cloth that Limon took off.
To be precise, he picked up a thread that was too thin to be seen, hidden in between, and continued.
âThere are few masters who can see through the sword made from the web of the Invisible Spider, a level 90 monster, at a glance.â
âIs that why you made this too?â
âIt is used by masters who have learned your celestial style.â
âWhat do you mean? If you are a Cheonjamsa, you may not know, but the swordsman would not be suitable for the type of celestial mang sculpture.â
âInstead, it is stronger and more intimate than any other thread. Even if psionics are lacking, I can handle it comfortably.â
âHow are you?â
For a moment, he made a dumbfounded expression as if he had heard that he had horseshoes attached to the dogâs paws.
Limon clicked his tongue lightly.
âI want things to be comfortable these days. The Sword (åé±) struggled for over a hundred years to find a weapon suitable for its swordsmanship.â
âIf you are black, you mean Rashid-sama, right?â
âokay. Rashid al-Din Sanan. He was the one who created the swordsman by integrating the mysteries of magic and alchemy.â
Only 13 sword masters in history.
Among them, Limon quietly continued, remembering the one who was more threatening than any other swordsman even though he was not originally a swordsman.
âThe first and last old man on the mountain, and also the only assassin to become a sword master.â
âHe was such a great person.â
âItâs a great plague, but youâre a crook who killed Saladin and stole his prestige.â
âWho is Saladin?â
âI could have been an unsung hero, but I had the misfortune of not having the bad luck of dying because I met one wrong sword master.â
I even tilted my head for a while.
Li Qingyu did not bother to ask more questions about a person he had never heard of, but instead focused on the sword master.
âAnyway, his swordsmanship was independent, right?â
ââ¦Well, Iâll admit that.â
Limon, who called Rashid an assassin and a cheater, also nodded his head about his swordsmanship.
In fact, it was because he was sure that no one would recognize that Limon had imitated his swordsmanship in this raid.
Originally, a secret technique used by tying threads.
The âinvisible knifeâ, a sword technique created by the sword so that the thread itself can be used like a sword, was such a bizarre skill.
Of course, in terms of something strange, the Sword Saintâs ânon-pulling swordâ was an added bonus.
âThere will be no one in this day and age who will notice the swordsmanship, which was said to be rare even in the life of a swordsman, right?â
âokay.â
âThen the Kingâs family wonât be able to argue with us about this.â
âI guess so.â
âIn the end, everything worked out just fine.â
âIt is like that.â
So Li Qingyu was satisfied.
I wonder if I would have fought wielding a sword.
No one will notice that Limon is the monster who changed his appearance with the power of the constellation and attacked the convoy.
After all, this will be regarded as something the Liberation Brigade did to keep quiet, and there is no reason for Li Qingyu and Li Mon to be subjected to political attacks.
ââ¦Swordsmith? Do you not like being an assassin by any chance?â
So it was.
What Li Qingyu wondered about.
âNo, not like that.â
âThen why do you look like that?â
Although everything worked out as planned.
Li Qingyu wonders why Limon doesnât straighten his frown.
Limonâs answer to her question was simple.
âI know what their purpose is. ⦠Or should I say that I have a sense of what the final goal is?â
âyes?â
Li Qingyu widened his eyes.
Why did the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade attack the affiliates of the Black Dragon Clan?
Its purpose was a mystery even to her.
âDid Ryu Kang-chul open his mouth?â
âno.â
âThen how did you know?â
âI saw that bastard and knew it.â
Previously, it was unknown because they had only been indirectly contacted through a corpse or through a Weiring.
But meet Ryu Kang-cheol.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The moment you cut it with your own hands.
Limon instinctively realized.
âThe thing I cut was just an empty shell, and they were decorating the Thirty-six Worlds with it.â
Itâs an intuition based on experience.
It was a certainty that Limon could have because he had directly cut down thousands of lives, learned the âsense of stealing lifeâ, and prevented numerous conspiracies.
Even though he could have eliminated Ryu Kang-cheol, he could not kill him.
It was a really crazy sound.
However, Li Qingyu was not taken aback.
I was just asking seriously.
âWhich of the thirty-six precepts are you talking about?â
âIs that important?â
ââ¦The important thing is the fact that they tried to write the Thirty Six Commandments itself.â
âI am still using it.â
Li Qingyu understood.
Itâs a chasihwanhon or a gold line evasion.
It only looks complicated because it divided the situation of war into six and established six good strategies for each situation.
The core of the thirty-six worlds is ultimately one.
To deceive the enemy!
That is why, no matter how complicated a strategy is, if it is detected by the enemy, it becomes a self-killer, and even a simple strategy becomes an irreplaceable trick if it succeeds in deceiving.
âAccording to the words of the swordsman⦠I really deserve to know their goal.â
And just by realizing that Liu Kang-cheolâs existence itself was a trick, Li Qing-yu was able to guess a lot.
A kind of ruse used by beasts.
What was the reason for that strategy?
Even to the final goal.
Because she was their princess who inherited the strongest blood from the founder of the Black Dragon Clan, which was known for conspiracies and schemes.
âOf course, this is just my feeling, and there is no clear basis, so it doesnât matter if you donât believe it.â
One problem.
That the basis is only Limonâs words.
The Black Dragon clan was good at seeing through the schemes, but that made it even more difficult to believe.
Those who are good at deceiving others will not doubt that others will also deceive them.
âNo, I believe.â
ââ¦are you serious?â
âOf course.â
Nevertheless, Li Qingyu insisted.
And he smiled and spoke.
âBecause I am the fiancée of a swordsman. Who can you trust if you donât trust the groom you will be with for the rest of your life?â
âYou canât trust anyone, can you?â
âwell. I used to be like that tooâ¦but I found out in the end that it was very stupid.â
Li Qingyu said plainly.
In fact, even though she doubted her own judgment, she absolutely trusted Limonâs intuition.
It was also because he believed in Limonâs intuition that he decided to just deal with the opportunity to interrogate Ryu Kang-cheol, a high-ranking officer of the Liberation Brigade.
Nothing different this time either.
Li Qingyu speaks softly.
Limon, who had been watching her tremblingly, finally let out a laugh.
âSeeing that I already know the duty that I realized only after I was over 200 years old, I must have had a very smart bride.â
âYou are talking too much.â
Were you happy with the compliment?
Contrary to his humble words, Limon casually asked Li Qingyu, who smiled brightly and arranged the bandages and hem of cloth mixed with the swordsman.
âSo how are you going to respond?â
âDo I really need to respond?â
âhmm?â
Limon put on a puzzled expression.
Looking at him with obsidian-like sunken eyes, Li Qingyu smiled quietly.
âAnyway, the person who plotted this seems to want to fool us with a scheming, so we can just let them do what they want.â
* * *
âHmmâ¦.â
Thinking for a while.
The man with braided hair took out a ring, a chloride-based item, from his finger.
Then, rolling the ring in his hand, he quietly opened his mouth.
âThe plan to plague is a failure.â
Everything seemed to be going according to plan until the point where Ryu Kang-cheol was escorted to the Leviathan.
However, to think that Ryu Kang-chul suddenly died a violent death.
It was honestly an unexpected situation.
âThis mission feels strangely twisted.â
As a high-ranking officer of the Liberation Brigade, he had traveled all over the world and performed numerous missions.
Intertwined with the Teenage Guild.
Destroying state facilities.
Like starting a war.
There was never a single easy task, and among them there were tasks that seemed impossible to compare with this one.
But it was the first time things had gone this way.
âI donât think itâs because the opponent is the Seven Dragonsâ¦â
Possibilities conjured up in an instant.
The man himself denied it.
No matter how skilled and wealthy the Seven Dragons are, thatâs all.
In the end, it was impossible for the forces clinging to the remnants of the old era, such as the seven dragons or the psionics, to hold her back.
Thatâs why this situation was even more unacceptable.
âAs expected, it must have been a mistake to entrust such a heavy duty to a stupid comrade who ate rice in his brain.â
The man eventually passed all the responsibility on to Ryu Kang-chul.
If Ryu Kang-cheol heard it, his clothes would explode and he would feel unfair, but he didnât care.
Originally, when things went well, it was because of the commander, and when things went wrong, it was because of the soldiers.
âI wanted to end it quietly if possible, but⦠There is nothing we can do about it.â
If it hadnât been for a clumsy resistance, it would have ended with thousands of people dying.
Feeling sorry for the foolishness of the Seven Dragons Association, which was so preoccupied with their own gains that they sacrificed in vain, the man with braided hair quietly continued.
âIf you want to see the true blood, I will show you the blood as you wish.â
