Chapter 224

Episode #224. when and how

Looking at Ainsha, a white-haired girl with her chest wide open and talking nonsense, Limon shook his head excitedly.

Who will take this foolish fool.

Just thinking about it made me feel a sense of responsibility.

However, there was no way to get this stupid princess back to normal, so Limon had no choice but to suffer.

It was a voice mixed with laughter that woke Limon.

“I was worried that the trip was more difficult than I thought because London work overlapped with Ainsha’s work, but I’m glad you seemed okay.”

“A tough trip is just a picnic.”

A black-haired girl smiling brightly.

Looking at Li Qingyu, Limon lightly snorted.

After leaving Tartarus, Limon took Ainsha to Tata and returned home.

There was no reason to wander any longer as long as the search for the missing child had been completed safely.

…I didn’t know that Tata would pack her stuff in advance and then push Ainsha on her back to bring her back intact.

‘This is why the White Dragon Clan.’

At that point, even Limon could roughly guess what was going on behind the scenes.

Disappearance was just an excuse.

In the end, the fact that the news of her disappearance was delivered to Limon was Tata’s plot to make him and Ainsha close.

No matter how much he foresaw that he would return safely, he did nothing but search for the princess for that purpose.

Indeed, the nanny had the reckless power of action and great foolishness to be called the princess.

However, the fact that they gained something thanks to that foolish thing was another troublesome point for the White Dragon clan.

“I think the commotion has grown a bit since you only went to a picnic once.”

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

Indeed, in the two weeks that Limon had been away, the world had turned halfway upside down.

London, which was the core of the British Empire, turned into a battlefield due to the sudden appearance of a monster, and all citizens were evacuated.

The aftermath of this great incident could not have been small.

But more than anything else, it was the news of one person rather than the damage in London that made the world agitate.

The death of magic lord Carol!

Even those who had passed the news about London indifferently could not hide their shock at the news.

This era where players are the mainstream.

Because no one could have imagined that the monarch, who was an absolute ruler that no one could touch, would die so suddenly.

“Thanks to that, I also became a bit busier.”

“Hmm yes. You must have been busy.”

Of course, managing the company of the Black Dragon Clan so that it does not shake in the world stock market that fluctuates like waves.

They said they were busy looking at the dynamics of the governments and teenage guilds that started to move busily through the Leviathan branch.

Watching Li Qingyu speak calmly, Limon nodded.

Because he knew better than anyone how much the world was confused by the aftermath, as he had cut down the Absolute more than once or twice.

At least it was Li Qingyu, so he was fine. If it was someone else, he would have collapsed from overwork.

“In that sense, there’s something I’m really curious about…”

So that was it.

That’s why Limon, who was shaking his head, couldn’t help but look around with a very mysterious face.

“What is the Count’s house doing here?”

The blue-haired woman who had been drinking tea with Li Qingyu ever since she returned.

Looking at Rose, Limon made a puzzled expression.

He hadn’t expected to see the girl he had said goodbye to in London the other day, so soon.

No matter how many people were busy with Carol’s death, she was the one who could push anyone to second place with an overwhelming gap in terms of workload.

“Didn’t I say you would be very busy? I’ll be really busy By the way, do you have time for tea here?”

“That’s…”

He only blushed slightly.

Rose can’t bear to answer properly.

It was Li Qingyu, who was leisurely sipping tea, who spoke on her behalf.

“Ah Rose came to consult with me.”

“consulting?”

“They said they wanted help from Black Dragon Construction and other businesses of our clan because they didn’t have enough hands to restore London.”

“In short, are you here on business?”

“Yes, as we haven’t ‘determined’ the detailed conditions yet, we may need to meet and ‘consult’ a few more times.”

Li Qingyu nodded.

Then, looking at Rose with her eyes slightly wide open, she asked with a smile as always.

“Right, Rose?”

Rose bit her lip.

Then, after looking at Li Qingyu’s obsidian-like eyes with heavy eyes, he nodded slowly after a long time.

“…As Li Qingyu said.”

“Hmm?”

Limon nodded.

The seven dragons had different fields of focus for each clan.

Among them, the main business of the Black Dragon clan was the Leviathan and other lodging and catering businesses, but they were also exceptional in the construction sector.

It was because of the technology and know-how accumulated by building hotels all over the world.

In that sense, it was not unreasonable for Rose to borrow the power of the Black Dragon Clan to restore London.

…unless he answered the obvious business talk reluctantly, like a knight caught in weakness and succumbing to evil.

‘Did the Black Dragon Clan join the Black Dragon Clan again?’

Limon noticed at once that there was something going on between Rose and Li Qingyu that he didn’t know about.

But he didn’t show it.

For whatever reason, I thought that if the two princesses had reached an agreement, there would be no need to interfere.

As a fiancée, I believed that if it was Li Qingyu, he would have handled it well.

So instead of asking more about why Rose was here, Limon changed the subject.

“Rather than that, what do you think about that?”

“What are you talking about?”

“A story told by the ghost of a saint named Shera.”

Hearing this, Li Qingyu put on a strange expression, and Rose straightened her posture.

It was because he knew the seriousness of the matter as he had already heard roughly what had happened in Tartarus.

“Did you say meteor shower?”

“There have been many meteor showers in the last hundred years, but there is only one that comes to mind right away.”

“It is clear. It cannot be another meteor shower.”

“Yeah, maybe that day.”

Calm Li Qingyu.

Rose with a serious attitude.

Even Ainsha, who said expressionlessly.

Limon nodded his head in agreement with the common opinion of the three princesses, who had completely different personalities.

From the moment he heard the word meteor shower, there was only one thing that came to his mind.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The day the constellation first appeared.”

* * *

32 years ago.

The day when constellations and dungeons first appeared in this world and the Age of Heroes ended.

Recalling the meteor shower that rained down all over the world as if celebrating the beginning of a new era, Limon continued quietly.

“Sirg hag said that my violin was just an ordinary cursed magic tool until it was first made.”

“But he said something in the form of a seal later on?”

“okay.”

“The violin is a simple vessel. What matters is the sealed contents.”

“If the saying that a star fell on a violin when a meteor shower was pouring down there is true…”

The result of the appraisal of the legendary Archwitch and the testimony of the ghost of an adult.

Combining the two, only one conclusion can be drawn.

“Seven Arks was not originally made as an ark. It first ‘appeared’ 32 years ago.”

It was something that had been anticipated to some extent since even Cyr, the maker of the violin, knew nothing about it.

I just don’t know who did what, when, or how.

But Shera’s testimony confirmed two of them: the ‘when’ and the ‘how’.

“You are saying that among the meteor shower that rained down on the world 32 years ago, the seven stars would have nested in something and become the Seven Arcs.”

“Nine times out of ten.”

“…Can you guess what happened that day?”

“Will I know that?”

Limon scratched his cheek.

He also witnessed a meteor shower that poured like rain 32 years ago.

The problem is that there were so many things that happened that day.

Dungeons spring up out of nowhere in various parts of the world, players who have signed a contract with a constellation appear, stars fall, and so on.

There was no way I could afford to watch a meteor shower while the whole world was turned upside down due to a sudden change.

Up until then, he couldn’t see the constellation directly, so there was a high possibility that he couldn’t see it properly no matter what happened.

“Still, one thing is clear.”

“What do you mean?”

“With this, the scope of Seven Arcs can be narrowed down to some extent.”

“…It’s exactly as you said.”

After thinking for a moment, Li Qingyu nodded.

“The remaining Seven Arcs must be among the antiques made at least 32 years ago, right?”

“Among them, I think we should focus on searching for new magic tools that can be used as a medium for sealing or treasures comparable to them.”

Originally, divine magic tools were treasures that were treated as strategic materials.

Even in the midst of Europe being devastated, only nine of them flowed into London, and most of the remaining ones were designated as national treasures or sacred objects of the church.

That means it’s so rare.

Of course, if we discuss all the treasures in the world, there will be hundreds of them.

However, that alone drastically lowers the difficulty of the search rather than relying on vague foreknowledge.

“There is a difference. An important clue.”

In addition, Ainsha also added a word.

As a result of investigation by the White Dragon Clan, there were people who saw stars falling around Tartarus 32 years ago.

It was just that there was no trace of a meteorite, so it was treated as a hallucination or a freak, but if that was a sign, something similar would have happened to other Seven Arcs.

“To be sure, we should also check the records from London 32 years ago, but the Liberation Brigade will surely be looking for Seven Arcs using that as a clue.”

“You mean they don’t even know what Seven Arks is?”

“Yeah, if you know, there’s no way you haven’t been able to find Seven Arks yet.”

Limon said calmly.

There was no clear evidence yet, but it was more likely that the Seven Arcs had just randomly popped up all over the world.

“And one more thing… No, this isn’t certain yet, so let’s move on.”

One time he shook his head while trying to say something.

Limon rummaged through his luggage.

And he took out an object and put it on the table.

“Anyway, everyone be careful when looking for the Seven Arcs. The Liberation Brigade guys will be more tenacious in the future.”

While Li Qingyu and Rose Ainsha watched, Limon calmly continued as he opened the lid of the glass case that had been placed on the table.

click.

“As long as this has been taken away from us.”

That moment.

The three princesses were silent.

It wasn’t because I didn’t know what was in the glass case.

On the contrary, as the princess of the Seven Dragons who comes into contact with all kinds of treasures on a daily basis, she knew the value of the item so well that she had no choice but to take her eyes off it.

“…is this the thing you were talking about?”

“okay.”

Limon readily nodded.

And the thing he took after killing Prince Edward in the British Museum.

As a reward for saving London, he looked at the second Seven Arcs following the dark violin given to him by the witches of the 27 lineage of magic and Rose.

“It is a relic of Plato, the Master of the Words.”
