Chapter 179

Episode #179. That’s it.

* * *

Yuna-kyung thought.

I don’t know if London is magic or not, but it’s clear that it is the most extreme city in the world.

The sight of everything being swallowed up in fog and turning into a ghost town is still vivid in my eyes.

The sight of citizens riding around in horse-drawn carriages and carpets calmly and silently, as if asking when such a thing had actually happened, made her bewildered.

[That’s great. If you’re like me, you wouldn’t be able to live so peacefully in a city like this.]

“Because humans are animals that adapt.”

[Is it something to say that the fog that eats people every day is an adaptation?]

“What are you doing with this much? In the old days, it was common to cook and do laundry, thinking that even if marauders invaded and took all of their possessions.” [

I heard

people’s mentality in the past was made of some kind of alloy from dungeon?]

[Well, then it must have been.]

Yuna-kyung inadvertently agreed.

The kind of chaos that occurred when the Seventy-seven Commonwealth of China was divided was mentioned in textbooks.

And considering that countries that once fought each other to the death are now united as one federation, it was certainly a great adaptability.

“I think it’s funny how you judge other people’s adaptability in the first place.”

[Am I? Why?]

“Is this guy who was originally a human talking like that while living a new life?”

[Oh, come to think of it, something like that happened?]

“…Is that something that goes beyond that?]

[Well, I was a human in my previous life. You can live happily in the present only when you coolly forget the past.]

“It’s nice to be positive.”

Limon stuck out his tongue.

Even as a man who has lived a long life and seen all kinds of people, he couldn’t help but be amazed by Yuna-kyung’s ability to adapt.

Whether she knew his feelings or not, Yuna-kyung calmly asked a question.

[By the way, what do you think of the team leader?]

“I am thinking that my life experience is still lacking.”

[…I don’t know what you mean out of the blue, but other than that, I heard the story from the witch sister yesterday.]

“You mean about the violin?”

[Yes, what happened?]

“Okay.”

Limon frowned.

When Syr unexpectedly confessed that the black violin was made by him, Limon was surprised but agreed.

In the first place, there are very few people who can make divine-grade magic tools and even cursed musical instruments.

And one of them was Sir.

At least as far as Limon knew, she was the best expert on curses other than warlocks.

So it was not so much that it was unexpected that Sir was involved with the Violin of Darkness.

No, it was luck.

I thought it would be fortunate if I could only receive emotions, but I was able to meet the producers as well.

For Limon, who wondered what the Seven Arcs were that had the power to melt the fragments of the constellation that the Liberation Brigade was aiming for, his senses fell from the sky.

However, what she actually heard was what made Limon more troublesome.

[Honestly, I don’t understand. Does it make sense that the witch sister is a maker but doesn’t know about the power of the violin

?

[Well, I’ve heard that he only helped with the curse part… but he’s a producer, right?]

“Because a producer can’t know everything about the things he’s made. Especially powerful magic tools.”

I don’t know if it’s an item that has a fixed effect from the beginning and can figure it out with an appraisal skill.

It was surprisingly common for magical tools to have unclear effects or possess unintended power or curses.

Because magic is such a power in the first place.

So, when Limon asked about the power to melt the fragments of the constellation, it was no wonder that Sir showed interest by saying, “Does this violin have that kind of power?”

The disappointment was just as great as the expectations were high.

[Sheh, I was wondering if I finally learned something. Rather, only unknown things have increased.]

“Not necessarily. Instead, we can make some assumptions.”

[Assumption?]

“Yes. For example, that Muse’s saint, who was a violin maker, might have something to do with Seven Arcs.”

Yuna-kyung grumbled, but thanks to Sir, she learned a lot.

As I had heard when I obtained the violin, I could confirm that the original maker was a priest of Muse.

Including the unexpected story that the priest was an adult and committed suicide after making this violin.

[I know that much. That’s why you asked Princess White Dragon to investigate.]

“Yes, I was lucky.”

Limon shook his head.

Because Ainsha had just returned to the Holy League, I was able to ask for an investigation easily.

I was full of motivation and said, “That much is easy. Considering her momentum as she shouted, “I believe in you and wait for you.”

No matter what anyone says, the Holy League is the mainland of the White Dragon Clan.

There was almost nothing impossible for Ainsha, the White Dragon Princess.

“The problem is when even that adult has nothing to do with the power of the violin let alone the Seven Arcs.”

[Ah, there’s no way that could happen.]

“It’s not impossible. We don’t even know what Seven Arks does exactly.”

In the first place, all they know about Seven Arks is the few words Eugene left before he died.

Nothing was known about the true nature of the Seven Arcs.

I was only vaguely guessing that it was some kind of magic tool related to the power of the constellation, since the Violin of Darkness was one of them.

It was for this reason that Limon quietly opened his mouth.

“It’s something we’ll have to investigate a bit more… but maybe Seven Arks is a completely different concept from what we thought.”

[What do you mean by that?]

“Well, I just feel that way.”

[If the team leader says it’s a persimmon, you can’t just pass it off…]

Hearing Yuna-kyung’s grumbling, Limon lightly patted her on the head.

“never mind. After all, you’ll know more about Seven Arcs than you do now.”

[…I felt it even when he left the violin, but do you really trust that witch sister?

]

[Can you believe it?]

“That’s more certain.”

Limon laughed.

And he revealed the biggest reason why he was able to entrust the violin to Sir without hesitation.

“If you’re an old woman with a lot of attachment to her life, she won’t do anything suspicious, even if she doesn’t want to be killed by me.”

[…wasn’t the team leader close with the witch sister?]

“Since we’re close, you didn’t pull out the sword right away.”

[The criterion for being close to the team leader is whether or not to draw the sword as soon as you see it!?]

“At least for an opponent like that old woman.”

Limon said calmly.

What kind of witch is Sir and how he was able to live for over a thousand years.

For him who knew that fact well, in fact, just not pulling out his sword as soon as they met was an act that combined his bad relationship and consideration for his elders.

Indeed, Yuna-kyung, who stuck out her tongue at Limon’s words like a swordsman, eventually shrugged her wings.

[Well, according to the team leader, you just have to wait for the witch sister to finish her work for Seven Arks.]

“There are many things that need to be done instead.”

[For example, touring London like this?]

“It’s not a tour, it’s a investigation.”

[Even if you say it’s an investigation, you can’t see anything other than wandering around recklessly. Can you really find a witch killer like this?]

Yuna-kyung put on a doubtful expression.

The reason he came to London in the first place was to find the Seven Arcs and catch the tail of the Liberation Brigade.

However, the investigation of Seven Arcs is under way, and Claire, who was thrown as bait, has not yet moved.

As a result, now Limon was concentrating on investigating the witch serial murder case.

“No, I can’t find it.”

…I didn’t really do anything.

Seeing Limon openly admitting that fact, Yuna-kyung asked with a puzzled expression.

[Then why are you wandering around?]

“It’s to find out why witches are being killed.”

[Yes?]

“Anyway, the suspect in this case is obvious. The important thing is not who did it, but why.”

[…Hey, I don’t know the meaning of the words, right? Is the suspect clear? And what does walking around like this have to do with finding out the culprit’s purpose?]

“That’s…”

“You’re a thief too!”

“huh?”

[Eh?]

Limon and Yuna-kyung looked back together.

and lost my mind

It wasn’t because of the screaming street vendors or the man running this way with goods stolen from the stalls.

It was because of the man’s means of escape.

[…I didn’t expect to see a thief running away on a flying broom in my lifetime.]

“Me too.”

What kind of magic has this damn London become?

While kicking his tongue, Limon gently stepped on a stone, then lightly bounced it off with his toe at the right timing.

The stones did not shoot like bullets or pierce the body of the thief.

It was only bounced high into the air and spun and flew into the orbit the thief had escaped from.

However, the thief, who was running away furiously, did not see the stone flying in front of him and hit his forehead on his own.

“100 million!”

A thief reeling from the shock of a star shining in front of his eyes.

Just as the broomstick, whose flight trajectory had changed accordingly, passed by, Limon stretched out his arm.

Pooh!

“Kkeuk!?”

It was a moment.

The thief, who was strangled by Limon’s arm, spun 270 degrees in the air and then fell to the floor, only the broomstick bounced back and flew away.

Yuna-kyung saw the feat and bumped her wings.

clap clap clap

[This is a wonderful lariat. I’ll give you 80 points from the audience.]

“Why not 100 points?”

[Because I couldn’t do a KO. Look, he gets up again.]

“If you do it right, you’ll break your neck and your life will be KO, so I deliberately watched you in moderation, you rice bowl.”

“Kuk kuk kuk cool! Cool cool!”

No matter how moderately he looked at it, it was probably because the shock of being hit by a lariat and rolling around was great.

The thief, who coughed in succession, barely stood up and looked at Limon, who had disturbed him, with wondrous eyes.

“You you bastard!”

What he took out at the same time was a staff.

The thief pointed it at Limon without the slightest hesitation.

When Yuna-kyung saw such a thief, Limon shook his head excitedly and drew a wrinkle between his brows. while clicking his tongue.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The thief activated the item at Gearko Limon.

No, I was trying to trigger it.

“That’s it.”

Unless a woman had suddenly appeared in front of him with a clear voice.
