Episode 108 – How long will you listen to me?
108. How long are you going to listen?
After beating Lehman, Leon quickly left the casino.
‘I’ll take care of it. ‘Do I have to be there too?’
And then the island tour resumed.
‘A man must rest when he needs to rest.’
First, to appease my hungry stomach, I went to the market and ate street food and snacks.
If I saw an interesting store, I would go in and look around, and if I liked it, I would buy it. I bought as many clothes and shoes as I could find. At the potion store, I scooped up potions.
I had so much money in my hand that I had no hesitation. In the first place, Leon was a person who liked money but did not care about it. He collects to spend.
Yabawi, magical street performances were also seen occasionally. Of course, in Leon’s eyes, the trick looked sloppy and wasn’t fun, so he didn’t watch it.
However, I did see a performance type of busking. Leon felt as if his ears were being pierced when he heard exciting music after only listening to the calm classical music playing in the middle of the room.
He went into a large arena and watched the game.
The match between one orc and thirty goblins was the most impressive. Surprisingly, the goblin side won. Leon thought it was a trick by the organizers. He never put his money on the orc side.
When I came out of the arena, a group of bad guys surrounded Leon. They were friends of the pickpocket duo that I had dealt with earlier at the entrance to District 6.
Leon broke their lower bodies and then left. It took less than 30 seconds.
I went to Gyeongsujang (競獸場). So, it was a place similar to a racetrack, but instead of horses, all kinds of special monsters raced. Fighting each other to the death was an arena, and this was a foot race.
‘Here, number 4 suddenly runs a last-minute spurt? ‘It’s a trick by the organizers.’
Leon thought about losing money again.
After leaving Kyungsoo, he went to the circus. There, he watched the performances of all kinds of strange creatures, ginas, magicians, spiritists, etc.
After spending time like that, it was already evening time. Leon headed to a restaurant along the Lemel Canal.
The high-end restaurant in District 5 was filled with couples and families. Leon sat down on the terrace overlooking the Lemel Canal.
It was a cool summer night with a clear moon rising. The damp wind blowing from the river wet my face.
Vermilion lanterns floated on the gently flowing waves. Elegant boats carrying lovers cruised among them.
Citizens’ laughter and chatter created a comfortable noise, and cheerful music played from a street band.
The table filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas gave off a mouth-watering aroma.
Everything was satisfactory.
“······If it weren’t for this year.”
“What does that mean?”
“······.”
Leon glared at the uninvited guest in front of him, Guiho.
After taking off her mask and wearing a white cheongsam style dress, she was sitting across from the table.
Countless attention from those around him was focused on that kind of ghost.
Naturally, her citizens do not know that she is the Seven Seats of her musk. She just glances at her appearance.
“Hmm.”
Gwiho had an arrogant smile on his face. She seemed to enjoy the outpouring of attention.
Leon put down her silver needle and clicked her tongue as he scooped up her soup.
“Grandma, are you okay?”
“Oh my. “What kind of manner of speaking is that to her lady?”
“Mr. A, the food really tastes bad…”
Gwiho smiled casually and lifted the spoon. It looks like he has held his mentality firmly. She was not easily swayed.
“······.”
Leon thought for a moment about tipping over the table, but decided to eat first. You can do anything only if your stomach is full. Although it is a bit cumbersome to have to apply silver needles one by one.
Leon spoke while spreading butter on well-baked bread.
“So what’s going on? “Let’s play a round?”
“What kind of confidence is that? Young master is still too much for me.”
Leon, who was chewing bread, narrowed his eyes.
“Sseu-eup… First of all, it won’t work now.”
“Right?”
Gwiho’s eyes were strangely curved.
“I came today to have a quick conversation. “I didn’t put any poison in it, so put some needles in there too.”
Leon answered with a snort. He was sticking his silver needle into the chicken as if showing off.
Gwiho said.
“Young master, how long do you think the empire will last?”
“It will last until you get old and die.”
“Everything must come to an end. “It’s no different with the empire.”
“What are you saying? “Are you telling the Duke of the Empire’s son that the Empire will soon fall?”
Leon neatly sliced the leg meat and put it in his mouth.
“Oh, this is delicious.”
Gwiho continued to say what he had to say.
“There is a huge trend in the world that cannot be resisted or opposed. “For a long life, you must know how to go with the flow.”
“You sound like an old man who is well-versed in world affairs.”
“Let me give you an example. Until 20 years ago, Sahyang maintained the Twelve Seats system, not the Seven Seats system. It was a confusing time. “It was also a time when I keenly felt the flow.”
“It’s the flow…”
Leon, who was muttering in response, suddenly frowned.
“Say what you want to say. Please stop with such idiotic introductions. Why did he suddenly come to me while I was eating and start talking nonsense…? Is it because I’m old? Do you want to look old? I tried to talk about age in moderation, but it keeps coming up. “Ugly b*tch.”
“······.”
It was a really rapid emotional change. Guiho opened his eyes and closed his mouth tightly.
“Damn this conversation. What on earth are you talking about with me? The sword is about to come out of its scabbard. Get the business out quickly. “You are ruining my private rest, peaceful evenings, and delicious meals in real time.”
“I understand, I understand. Stop. “My ears are going to bleed.”
Gwiho looked fed up.
After taking a sip of water, she spoke quickly.
“A gift I sent… So, I saw you fighting with the assassins. As expected, it was amazing. Where did you learn about pistil? It was just something that naturally melted into the movement. I don’t think I learned it formally, but I think I learned it naturally by learning a few of the techniques in this field. “If my guess is correct, he is truly an amazing talent.”
“······.”
“Yes. A talent that is truly rare, worth killing, and coveted. We talked a lot among ourselves. What are you going to do with Young master? “In the end, a conclusion was reached.”
“It’s quite unpleasant.”
“Just be patient and listen until the end. Young master. Won’t you come over to us? “I’m not just talking about musk.”
Guiho waved her hands lightly.
“Did I just say that? The empire is coming soon. Sounds crazy? Why would I say something like that without any basis?”
“Truly…”
Her words only sound like nonsense to others.
‘It’s clear that Musk also joined the demon world.’
Because Leon knew more than others, she did not just dismiss it as bullsh*t. Regardless of your crazy confidence.
‘Was she brainwashed?’
What on earth have you shown me to make you believe and cry out for the fall of the empire? It’s just ridiculous. Well, it could just be a bluff.
‘Anyway, you’re trying to appease.’
Attempting to recruit here was unexpected. Kryptos and Balkanthus. As long as I was out of their sight, I thought of the relationship as unconditional hostility.
However, if you think about it excluding the housemaster, it includes status, reputation, inaction, status, ability, etc. Leon’s defection had great merit for the Demon World.
Leon’s talent for assassination, which was additionally revealed, would have been a decisive trigger that moved Musk.
‘But he was that talented? Was he destined to become an assassin?’
Leon, who was busy thinking on the inside, spoke as he continued eating on the outside. First of all, I wanted to dig up more information.
“First of all, your argument is too absurd and not specific. And if you’re going to appease, you have to present the benefits you can give.”
“You’re changing from a sinking ship to a new ship. The empire on the continent is coming to an end, and you will become a leading figure in a new era. Then you can have money, power, power, women… Whatever you want. Or what about me? “It’s okay if I’m Young master too.”
“There’s something unnecessary added.”

This is Young. Are you intentionally not providing the information properly? Leon ate his food indifferently.
Gwiho leaned his body forward.
“Young master. It’s not that fun right now, is it? “You’re not attracted to me at all, are you?”
“Uh.”
“Well, I understand. What I’m saying sounds absurd, and my proposal seems like garbage that isn’t worth thinking about. But that’s because it doesn’t feel real yet. “When full-scale destruction begins, my words will naturally come to mind.”
“Are we already turning into threats?”
“What can you do with this much? First of all, I’m here today to tell you only about choices. And there will come a time when this option will seem attractive.”
It was at that time that her lips moved and she tried to continue her words.
“Hmm~.”
—Suddenly!
Gwiho’s head flew in the sky.
“Little brother, how long are you going to listen to this bullsh*t?”
