Dragon Knight (3)

    It is because of the independence of warlords that China, which had endured for more than five years after the cataclysm, was divided.

    At first, it was divided into 5 countries, then 12 after a year, and then 9 in the next year. The era of warring States of merging and dividing was opened.

    Now, seven countries had power over the lands of old China and Mongolia.

    It''s just me, the seven great unions were right.

    Since the land was so wide, there was no way he could afford to clear all the dungeons that were regenerated. Because of that, each power was shrunk into a city unit, and China was transformed into a coalition state with a total of 98 cities united into 7 different confederations.

    "We originally lived in the city of Chaoyang in Manchukuo, but when the city collapsed, they were scattered."

    Lim Dong-myeong and Dong-seong brothers, originally from rural villages, concentrated in the city after the cataclysm and settled in Chaoyang, but as the city disappeared, they began to live a wandering life with the villagers in the east.

    "If you went to another city without a connection, where would it be easier to live?"

    The political situation in China was also chaotic, and the land that had become a field was so wide that there were quite a few monsters in the field that were not dungeons.

    It is not a low-level monster like Korea, but it is also a place where 3-star and 4-star level monsters often appear.

    Farmland is gradually disappearing, and urban residents are struggling to make a living, so it was not easy for people from abroad to adapt to the city.

    In the case of a city where the situation was bad, all mature men were conscripted, and in some cases, the residents were forced to do a certain amount of auxiliary labor per day.

    In the case of some small towns running in the worst situation, there was no market economy system, and there were places where the old medieval market wielded power as if it were a king.

    "If those who live a nomadic life like us can''t, it will be in the tens of millions. There are large crowds of over a thousand people."

    In addition to the 98 large cities, there were also thousands of small town-level groups that had established themselves.

    They were living like nomads because they moved from place to place when dangerous dungeons or monster groups were located nearby.

    At first, this group led by brothers Dongmyeong Lim and Dongseong Dongseong had more than 50 people from the east, but as they moved around, only 27 remained.

    "We may soon be absorbed somewhere. If there is a suitable group, we will join forces."

    "That looks good."

    The fighters were too few and sparse to protect the swarm.

    Humans are no different from other animals that live in groups. If you do not have the power, you must either call a renter or find a land with few competitors and move the territory.

    As there is a lot of land being taken away by monsters every day, the Asian continent is rapidly becoming a field. In such a case, the monsters might unite and build a kingdom.

    "Everyone is drunk. Just sit down and eat."

    Suho chuckled.

    I joined the party as a favor, but I don''t want to waste another day because I don''t need sleep. The UK still has a long way to go.

    done. I have a place to go."

    "Hey, we''re holding on to the benefactor too much."

    The same name pulled out a bloodstone-powered cell phone from his bag. The GPS is fine and it''s perfect for navigation.

    "This is all I can give you."

    "Not enough. What will you pay for?"

    "I have already received enough."

    He rescued Hee-yeon and healed Min-soo with potions. That''s already enough.

    "Ah, I''m sorry though."

    I don''t want to rob the flea liver for the sake of grace from the nomad who is about to collapse.

    Suho took out a handful of bloodstones piled up in his inventory.

    "Is this enough?"

    "Huh!"

    "The reaction will be enough. Then let''s live well.

    "Go, thank you."

    Bloodstone, the energy source itself, is used as currency wherever you go in the world. Generators, power machines, and electric devices are nowhere to be found, and they are also used as currency on the planet Aruka.

    "It''s too late. Then I will go now."

    It was late at night, and the children and women all fell asleep, and Jong-seong gave thanks several times before getting drunk and stretched out.

    Awakened people are the only ones with the same name who are standing still. The eyes of Suho who are drunk with alcohol and atmosphere are full of envy and favor.

    About 100 meters away, the Wyvern curled up and fell asleep, then woke up feeling the will of the guardian.

    "Kurr."

    While Suho was walking to the Wyvern, Lim Dong-myeong, who followed to see him off, suddenly had to ask.

    "May I ask why you helped us so much?"

    Huh? What reason do you need to help?"

    Just people I met along the way.

    Why do people need reasons to help people?

    Suho was pleasantly surprised for a moment, but the position of the same name, who was helped, was different. He also saves Hee-yeon and uses expensive potions without hesitation. There was even an excess of bloodstone.

    Are there any unprovoked favors and benevolence on this earth?

    At least on this continent it would be difficult to find.

    "If you are very grateful, give me another bottle of that."

    A young man who was quick to hear Suho''s words came with another bottle of beer.

    "I will eat well."

    "I will never forget the benefactor''s name."

    Suho smiled and got on the Wyvern''s back.

    Go.

    "Kur."

    The Wyvern, who had recovered all the wounds thanks to the guardian, flew up with a powerful leap and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

    When the next day dawned, there was a brief commotion in the Nomad, knowing that Suho had disappeared.

    A few old women set the table, bowed and prayed.

    "Thank you for the grace of the mountain god."

    The appearance of taming a large beast and flying in the sky looked like a mountain spirit in their eyes.

    Kim Cheol-ryeong looked only at the sky with her lips closed.

    ''I grew up .''

    A boy whose only goal was to survive day by day has a dream.

    *

    Hokkaido.

    All Japan''s attention was focused on the appearance of the 7-star dungeon.

    Hiro''s team was in charge of the advance squad.

    Ten days have already passed since I started attacking the dungeon.

    "This is the site of the 7-star dungeon in Sapporo. Now, 10 days and 11 hours have passed since Hiro''s team entered, the street cheers of citizens wishing for their safe return are everywhere in Sapporo... huh?"

    The camera went straight from the reporter''s figure to the dungeon portal.

    There, Lee Seong-woo, covered in the blood of a monster, appeared.

    "Hey, Hiro! Hiro returns safely. His advance squad will once again save Japan, here in Sapporo, from crisis!"

    Starting with Lee Seong-woo, his team members were coming out of the portal one by one.

    "Ah, unfortunately, there seems to be a vacancy. Accurate information will be announced at a press conference to be held later... ."

    25 people went in and 18 people came out.

    The atmosphere of the Hiro team was not good because they lost 7 team members.

    After a brief press conference on the dungeon raid, the party headed to the hospital to rest.

    All survivors were tested and rested while receiving treatment. A hospital for the awakened is no different than a hotel.

    the top of the hospital.

    It is a place with a great view of Sapporo city at a glance.

    I saw a sign with a crowd of citizens under the hospital.

    [Congratulations on Hiro''s safe return.]

    [You are our hero!]

    [Thank you. Thank you very much.]

    It is a portal created near Sapporo City.

    If this happens, the Hiro team succeeded in attacking the city in a dangerous situation, so I can''t help but be thankful.

    "Voice actor."

    Akiko came to Lee Seong-woo''s room.

    "It''s not the voice actor''s fault."

    " ."

    Lee Seong-woo''s lips, who had been silently looking out the window, opened.

    right. It''s not my fault.

    " ."

    Akiko hugged Lee Seong-woo''s back.

    I lost a friend who did not have to lose due to the appearance of the 7-star dungeon earlier than expected.

    "It''s not sad."

    During that time, he lost dozens of colleagues.

    No, he lost hundreds of thousands of companions in his past lives.

    I have seen Akiko, who is now holding her, die right in front of her eyes more than ten times.

    The emotion that filled Lee Sung-woo''s heart now was anger, not sadness.

    "I want to go to Korea."

    because of the guy

    The future is changing because of him.

    His plans are twisted.

    Now is the time to make your position clear.

    "I need to get rid of him."

    As Lee Seong-woo''s anger was still felt, Akiko trembled.

    *

    Korea and Japan are geographically very close countries.

    Even if it is not a flight, you can find any means of transportation.

    Seong-woo Lee, who set foot in Busan by boat, moved alone with Akiko.

    There''s no need to fuss. I''m about to go back after finding Suho and eliminating only him. You can''t just find out about your actions and lead them into a national conflict.

    ''The SFC stage is perfect, but .''

    It''s a stage where you can kill opponents legally and neatly, but there''s no way for Suho to act as if he''s not interested in such things.

    Just kill him quietly and go back.

    He secretly escaped the gates of Busan and stole a car. Instead of entering Daegu and Sejong City, I drove straight to Seoul.

    "Voice Actor, I''ll be driving, so close your eyes."

    no it''s okay.

    When Lee Seong-woo and Akiko arrived in Seoul, they left their car and infiltrated the city to find a hotel.

    ''It''s going to be tough.''

    I will take a full day off and attack him in the best condition.

    With that in mind, Akiko, who was resting in the next room, urgently sought out Lee Seong-woo.

    "Voice Actor, it''s a big deal!"

    What is it?

    "Park Soo-ho is not in Korea right now!"

    What?

    I definitely checked all the information before coming to Korea.

    He is a guy who uploaded videos of taming and transforming all kinds of animals on YouTube as if he was specialized in taming-related skills or trying to set up a zoo.

    The best way to get to know Park Soo-ho is, ironically, through his guild''s YouTube channel.

    These days, videos of all kinds of transformations are uploaded once a day.

    In the video uploaded today, Park Soo-ho also uploaded a video of him transforming into a wild boar and fighting. It was uploaded just 2 hours ago.

    "Looks like it was taken beforehand."

    "Look here."

    ; The mysterious Dragon Knight in joint operation with the Russian Air Force turns out to be Korean Park Soo-ho.

    ; The identity of the Dragon Knight, which has recently become an issue in Europe, is revealed.

    ; Park Soo-ho, how did he get to England?

    " ."

    The article included a link to a YouTube video of Dong-soo.

    A video of Dr. Toddler''s invitation email and he transforms into an eagle and leaves. This is a video from ten days ago.

    It has been 10 days since Park Soo-ho left Korea.

    Damn it! I was deceived."

    Seongwoo Lee sharpened his teeth.

    I really should have left this time.

    After that, videos were uploaded every day like the daily life of the guild, so I only thought that I was in Korea.

    ''He must be wary of me.''

    To be swayed by such a childish smoke screen operation.

    What do we do? You can''t wait like this.

    right.

    Do you waste time knowing when you''ll be back?

    Lee Seong-woo, who was grinding his teeth, said as if he had made a firm decision.

    "I need to get him on stage."

    how?

    The SFC stage is symbolic.

    A duel competition to determine the most powerful awakening person in the world beyond the country. It may just feel like an extreme sport right now, but as the world collapses a bit faster, the SFC rankings become power in that order.

    The title of the world''s strongest human is symbolic.

    This is also the reason why Lee Seong-woo maintains the rankings despite his busy schedule.

    ''If he is a regressor... .''

    He will know this value too.

    So I will definitely participate in SFC, but I don''t know when that will be.

    Waiting for him to complete all the preparations and participate in the competition is foolish.

    ''If you know me. I will participate after everything is ready.''

    You have to get it on stage before that.

    Lee Seong-woo took off his mask and left the hotel.

    ; Lee Seong-woo 曰 Typhoon God? Not even a fist away from Park Soo-ho.

    - Lee Seong-woo, who visited Korea privately, appeared in Seoul and surprised the citizens. In response to some reporters'' requests for an interview, the hot topic in Korea these days is the public sniper of mercenary Park Soo-ho... .

    - Ranking No. 1 Lee Seong-woo is also concerned about Park Soo-ho''s existence... .

    - While attention is being paid to whether the champion''s nominated SFC match will happen... .

    - The public''s interest is focused on whether Koreans can be listed on the world rankings.

    Thousands of comments were immediately attached to an article that appeared alone, and the names of Park Soo-ho and Lee Seong-woo were stuck at the top of the search terms.

    Meanwhile, Suho finally set foot in England.
