#476. What will you do?
* * *
Itâs like meeting someone you know in a strange place.
Itâs a common occurrence in life.
In particular, having lived for a long time, Limon was quite familiar with such unexpected encounters.
But at this moment.
This reunion, which took place after pursuing the sheriffâs presence, was quite rare even by Limonâs standards.
In the first place, most of the opponents I met after 500 years were corpses, or even graves, let alone bone powder, disappeared.
So it was.
Why did Limon laugh cheerfully?
âYeah, itâs something to live for a long time and see. I never expected to see you again like this.â
ââ¦â
âSo how have you been? Iâd like to ask⦠but Iâll understand if you donât ask.â
ââ¦â
âWhat is that tsk face? Isnât it hard to call him a little kid now that heâs gone so fast in only 500 years?â
Itâs like meeting a trend.
It took a long time to smirk at the one-eyed shaman.
Limon scratched his cheek suddenly.
âWhy donât you say something? Itâs embarrassing to keep talking to myself like this.â
âAre you here to kill me?â
ââ¦thatâs too radical for a greeting Iâve had in a while.â
âIsnât it natural considering what you did to us that day 500 years ago?â
âCertainly not wrong.â
Limon nodded slowly at the sharp answer.
When itâs the spirit squad.
Considering Limonâs achievements in disbanding the Continental Guardian, it was not strange that the survivors at the time had a grudge against him.
âgood night. If you donât want to talk about the old days, letâs get straight to the point.â
So it was.
After suddenly erasing the smile.
Unlike before, Limon, who had a bleak expression, opened his mouth in a cold voice.
âIt must have been your fault for attacking the Golden Dragon Princess, right?â
âThen what are you going to do?â
Dances with Wolves didnât bother denying that fact.
As someone who had met Limon in the past, I knew that clumsy lies wouldnât work with him.
to him like that.
Limon said quietly.
âI have come to warn you.â
âwarningâ¦?â
âYes, donât even think about touching the golden dragon princess. Then Iâll bury the things up to today and return the ones I caught.â
ââ¦if you donât like it, what will you do?â
âYou will have to pay a heavy price.â
You know very well what the cost is.
Limon hinted.
Dances with the Wolves responded with silence.
How thoroughly the clan of the Seven Dragons will retaliate if the princess is touched.
Because he, too, knew all too well as an Unryeongsa who had lived for hundreds of years.
One thing I canât understand.
âWhy do you, Swordsman, side with the Seven Dragons?â
Limon and the Seven Dragons are nemesis.
The Continental Guardian resents him.
Even if they hated the Golden Dragon clan.
Compared to the fight between the Seven Dragons and Limon, it was nothing more than a childrenâs quarrel.
I wonder if the word âYonggongjiganâ was coined over an enemy that is absolutely incompatible.
But to think that Limon is threatening the Continental Guardians to protect Princess Gold Dragon.
At least according to his common sense, it could or shouldnât have happened.
âThatâs right, I came here not as a swordsman, but as an envoy of Princess Gold Dragon.â
âHuhâ¦â
That was it.
After hearing Limonâs answer, he made an expression of disbelief.
Dancing with wolves opened its mouth as if chewing.
âThe Sword Emperor will lament in his grave that his disciple acts as a dog for the Seven Dragons.â
âWell, I donât know.â
If it were the Sword Emperor, he would rather rise from the grave and come to beat himself than lament.
After saying it with a smile.
Limon added a cold word.
âAbove all, Iâd rather be a hound than have Civil War break out again.â
If Charlotte is left to take care of things on her own, there will be an all-out war between the Continental Guardians and the Seven Dragons.
The result was a civil war in the United States.
It was the dawn of the Civil War.
At worst, it could be a reenactment of the Great Spirit Rebellion.
Either as a protector of mankind.
either as a human being.
Limon couldnât let such a disaster happen.
Thatâs why I asked Charlotte to take care of the aftermath on purpose with the credit for capturing the raiders.
Above all, there was one reason why Limon had no choice but to step forward.
âEven if that was what you intended in the first place.â
ââ¦what kind of grain is it?â
âThatâs why you did this even though you knew full well that you couldnât defeat the Golden Dragon Princess.â
Itâs like being stabbed in the right place.
Looking at him with his mouth shut, Limon continued to speak quietly.
âDid you mean to die in the first place?â
âIf you, who holds an important position in the Continental Guard, die at the hands of the Golden Dragon Princess, that will be the starting point of the war.â
âEven if there is no war, racial discrimination, which has been quiet, can intensify.â
âAm I wrong?â
Dances with Wolves didnât answer.
just kept silent.
An affirmation that is clearer than a thousand words.
Seeing that, Limon let out a sigh.
âWhat are you thinking?â
âI just do what I have to do.â
âTo bring out past grudges, even at the cost of oneâs life?â
âItâs not a grudge from the past.â
After shaking my head slowly.
The prosthetic eye embedded in one of the wolves glowed red and continued.
âThe pride we lost.â
âPrideâ¦â
Limon closed his eyes.
Doing something that could lead to a war just for the sake of pride.
absurd thing.
But it was nothing new.
Kings and emperors who drove the country into chaos simply because of pride were common in the past.
And this was born in the age of the heroes of Dances with Wolves.
It was not unreasonable that they had common sense and ways of thinking that were completely different from those of the present age.
âLittle boy, youâ¦â
That was it.
Leave what Limon was about to say.
Instead, the reason why he opened his mouth with a sigh.
ââ¦it doesnât matter if youâre proud. If you want to lay down your life for your pride, that is also your freedom.â
âBut donât let others get involved for your pride.â
âIf you disobey my warningâ¦â
Sreuk.
I didnât even draw my sword.
Itâs not like I spewed out my life.
Just by placing a hand on the handle of the sword, a suffocating sense of intimidation was emitted.
said Limon.
âYou will have to deal with me first before fighting the Seven Dragons.â
âDo you mean to slash me to protect the Seven Dragons?â
âNo, it means to cut down the enemies of mankind in order to prevent futile, worthless and meaningless sacrifices.â
ââ¦â
âNow what are we going to do?â
Before being the lion of Princess Gold Dragon.
As a protector of mankind.
Watching Limon speak with unwavering eyes, he gritted his teeth as he danced with the wolves.
As the Commander-in-Chief and chief of the Continental Guardians who lived for hundreds of years, his heart was crying out to fight.
but in the distant past.
Back when he was a sorcerer in the past.
The boyâs memories of the hero who saved the North American continent from being destroyed by runaway spirits spoke.
Even if we fight, there is no chance of victory.
two hearts.
two choices.
After pondering between them.
Dances with wolves eventually closed their eyes.
* * *
âHmm.â
that evening.
After going through the dungeon.
Examining the documents Limon gave.
Charlotte muttered languidly.
âA memorandum from one of the chiefs of the Continental Guard. Youâve been looking for something quite rare.â
Actually, itâs not that rare to see.
Each of the chiefs of the Continental Guardians is an Unryeongsa, and they are old monsters that have dominated the North American continent for as little as tens to as long as hundreds of years.
Itâs their surrender document.
It was worth more than a billion dollars.
I got it in just half a day.
Even Charlotte, who would sneer at something insignificant, had no choice but to acknowledge Limonâs ability.
âI donât like how you arbitrarily turned hunting into negotiations, but thatâs not too bad.â
I thought that if it was a hunting dog, like a hunting dog, it would bite the preyâs leash.
To think heâd come back without shedding a drop of blood.
What a cheeky hound.
while complaining languidly.
Charlotte laughed.
Anyway, this is also a great achievement.
Now that I could concentrate only on hunting for the Liberation Brigade, it could be said that it was a hunting dog with a reward worth raising.
âI donât know what else to give you this time.â
Thatâs why Charlotte was worried.
For others, a little bit of money or one of their own cooking would be regarded as a gift they will never forget for the rest of their lives.
Of course, he was even shy about Fafnirâs stake.
It wouldnât be a decent reward to satisfy Limon, who is teaching him how to cook.
Besides, itâs not just money and cooking that are out of the question.
Skills, including playing.
Knowledge based on experience.
Above all, overwhelming force.
For hundreds of years, he has lived as an absolute being and has enjoyed all kinds of wealth and glory.
Even now, there were few rewards that could satisfy Limon, which he could obtain on his own.
That said, her pride couldnât tolerate giving an halfway prize.
âIt canât be helped. I have no choice but to go for a walk together.â
After thinking about it for a long time.
Charlotte made a decision.
I decided to hang out with Limon for a day or so.
Even a picky hound likes to go for a walk with its owner.
Limon would be satisfied if he went around eating together, buying new clothes and things, and even showing him something like a movie.
Of course she was busy.
I didnât even have time to go for a walk.
I didnât even want to do anything.
Personal punishment must be clear.
He said that he would invest his precious time to reward Limon.
Charlotte made up her mind and rose from her seat.
To give notice to Limon to make time for the day tomorrow.
but after that.
Charlotte couldnât help but pause.
âYou manage to clean it well without a speck of dust with such a cheap tool.â
âFrom my point of view, your family members who use telekinesis to sweep up even the dust without cleaning tools are more convenient, right?â
âNot all of us can do that. Rough cleaning is possible, but detailed parts must be cleaned by hand.â
âThanks to that, I even get the president to clean.â
âNever mind. Originally, this is what I am supposed to do.â
Limon armed with a duster.
Alice running the vacuum cleaner.
For some reason.
At the end of looking at the two people who are cleaning the dorm together while talking amicably.
Charlotte opened her mouth.
âWhat are you doing?â
âYou see, Iâm cleaning?â
âI didnât ask the swordsman, but my close friend.â
A blonde woman in a cowgirl outfit.
Alice calmly answered Charlotteâs question.
âAs the princess acknowledged, it seems that the swordsman has a lot of skills to learn.â
âSo youâre saying youâre learning how to clean?â
âyes. Instead, starting tomorrow, I decided to help with the small things like shopping.â
ââ¦â
âI told you to focus on clearing the dungeon. Why are the bossâs family so interested in ashes rather than ashes?â
I am not a home tutor.
Limon, who was grumbling, suddenly tilted his head as he saw Charlotte looking at him and Ellis.
âDo you have anything to say?â
âDid I look like I was free enough to come to you without any business?â
âIâm asking because I donât think so.â
If itâs a problem with the Continental Guardian, wait a moment until the cleaning is finished.
Limon had no time to speak.
Charlotte languidly revealed her business.
âTeach me how to clean.â
âhuh?â
âAnd since youâre interested in playing, prepare for that as well.â
âWait a minute, when are you going to learn all of that? If you include those things in your cooking, 24 hours a day wonât be enough, right?â
âIt is none of your business.â
âIs it me who teaches?â
Charlotte turned away
from Limon, who was making an absurd expression .
âBoss? Iâm a swordsman, not a tutor!â
No matter what Limon says behind his back.
Charlotte didnât stop.
As always, I just thought in my mind as I moved my steps proudly.
Come to think of it, as Elise pointed out, I decided to learn not only his cooking but also his other talents as well.
Itâs not that heâs offended by flirting with his aides.
And as much as there is much to learn.
I think I need a more solid reward.
