Of course, Inoue mainly spent his money on hiring ninjas. The samurai guards were just a superficial cover, and the real guarding still depended on the ninjas.
As long as the money is enough, the service will definitely be provided. This time, he was lucky enough to hire a member of the Dragon Ninja Clan with extremely strong combat capabilities. This is also one of the reasons why Inoue took the initiative to attack Shirou Emiya.
On the right, they were originally going to face the Dragon Ninja, whose individual strength was much stronger than that of the Iga Hattori clan.
It was a dark and windy night, perfect for murder. Hidden Shadow on the right, Asakura Ha and Emiya drew their swords, and Kurama cracked his whip. These people came here for a fight, otherwise why would they have to do it themselves?
Youfang and others, who barely concealed their aura, naturally encountered the Dragon Ninja hired by Inoue first.
Emiya recognized that some of them were the ones who had chased him before, but Emiya himself did not want to take these ninjas' lives.
The problem lies with the daimyo, and the ninjas are just office workers who get paid to do things.
If Emiya himself didn't have that much money (all eaten up by Saber), wouldn't it be better for him to just counter-hire someone?
Since the victim this time was Emiya-san, the basic rules were also set by Emiya. Emiya said that he would try his best not to hurt anyone, so the right side and the others agreed.
However, just as Youfang was about to cut open the loincloth straps of the nearest ninja that were exposed in the two hollow areas around her waist, the ninja actually turned her head to face the hidden area on the right and spoke something.
"May I ask, sir, are you the current guardian of the Azure Dragon's power?"
Her voice was a little childish but also had a certain tone of imitating an adult's accent, which was very strange when combined with her plump figure in the moonlight.
The female ninja who said this and the ninjas scattered around her seemed to be surrounding the people on the right, but there was no obvious hostility in their aura.
Obviously all this depends on the answer on the right.
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone except Emiya subconsciously stopped what they were doing.
Time seemed to stand still for a while, until half a head emerged from the shadows on the right.
"In a sense, it should be?"
Youfang himself is actually not very sure, but it shouldn't be a problem if he just goes along with it.
Feeling that he might have triggered some special plot, his right hand reached into his trouser pocket and used blind typing to tag all the people in the group once to notify the other people not to act rashly.
Well, congratulations, the Dark Tower located in the wilderness outside Heian-kyō has been successfully built. As the owner of the LAN, Youfang has enabled network usage rights for himself and the three players around him.
They can be said to be the first people to access the Internet during the Warring States Period.
"Please prove it, sir."
The kunoichi was very tough, but soon she lost her toughness.
Because she saw that the right side of the man carrying the gun was filled with lightning, and she could faintly see a shrunken dragon-shaped lightning shadow moving around on the right side.
The big light bulb instantly illuminated the entire dim yard.
You have to know that there were no such things as light bulbs in that era. After nightfall, there were only torches, lanterns and oil lamps, which were very dim. And now on the right it looks like a human-shaped standee covered with LED lights, flashing non-stop in the courtyard where Daimyo Inoue lived.
This is naturally the effect of using the lightning gun to release the thunder beast on the right.
Heizi has been active in the underworld for decades, and this is probably the first time he has paid a heavy price for his rather casual promise.
But he had to swallow his promise even if it meant breaking his teeth. Facing the flashing attack from the right side that said "This kind of small problem is easy for you, old man", the old man couldn't withstand it in the end. In the end, he transferred the suit attributes to the lightning gun at the cost of destroying the flying wheel.
The lightning gun no longer needs the flying wheel to activate "Thunder Beast Liberation", but the enhancements in flying and speed have also been reduced. Of course, this is not necessary for the right side.
Perhaps it was because the power of the Cang Soul Pearl was somewhat compatible with Youfang's own talent for thunder magic. As Youfang tested his skills more and more during the day, the originally dim Cang Soul Pearl was gradually becoming brighter.
In fact, the point that you can try to use things with similar properties was discovered earlier by You, and it was not the Blue Soul Pearl, but the Red Soul Pearl obtained from Haohmaru.
Now this bead is in the belly of the Fire Spirit Gengar. From the little fat Gengar's gestures and description, it seems that he can already make use of the power of the Red Soul Orb a little bit. The effect of the activation is currently similar to that of the Fire Orb.
The thunder beast on the right was released for five or six seconds before it was retracted. Then the leading female ninja knelt on one knee with her left fist on the ground and her right hand on her raised left knee, doing a standard ninja kneeling gesture.
"Red Leaf, the reserve dragon priestess of the Dragon Ninja Clan! Greetings to the Azure Dragon Guardian!"
Like the female ninja who called herself Hongye, the other Dragon Ninjas also showed a very respectful attitude.
Ah this...
He made eye contact with the other friends on the right, and unsurprisingly received looks like "You're amazing", "I'm used to it", and "Hurry up, female ".
Although Youfang really wanted to explain that the real guardian of the power of the Blue Dragon was someone else, who was currently practicing sword skills at Fushimi Inari Taisha, it was obviously not the time to talk about these things.
The system prompt was received on the right.
[You encountered the Dragon Ninja Clan's reserve Dragon Priestess "Hongye" and the ninja team she led. ]
[The Dragon Ninja Clan, a ninja clan that inherited the bloodline of the ancient Dragon God, is proficient in physical combat but not good at espionage. They believe in the Dragon God and most of them take slaying demons as their mission.
Because he possessed the power of the Dragon God, the previous clan leader had a close relationship with "Kai Shi", the original guardian of the Azure Dragon's power. "Kai Shi" taught him the thunder method that only those with the Dragon God's bloodline could use, and they established a watch agreement.
The two sides will never be enemies, and will protect each other's descendants while they are still able.
Because you have used the lightning gun many times and have been infected with the power of Azure Dragon, you are currently mistakenly regarded as the successor of the power of Azure Dragon. 】
Chapter 733 Toguro Daimyo
Most of the Dragon Ninja Clan are dedicated to slaying demons and monsters. They are proficient in physical skills, Flame Dragon Ninja Technique, Thunder Dragon Ninja Technique, and are good at using a variety of weapons. The assassination method of the entire clan is roughly equivalent to killing all members of the target. Although the weirdness of their style is not the most special among the numerous ninja families, it is also quite rare.
As a ninja family where almost all members are full of justice, it is very normal for them to run around in such troubled times.
But, they are also human beings, and as human beings they need to eat, and they have to support a large group of people in Hayabusa-no-Sato, so even if some money is a little dirty, it still needs to be earned when it should be earned.
However, this time they unexpectedly encountered the Guardian of the Power of Azure Dragon who had disappeared for ten years. After comparing the two, Hongye, as the team leader, immediately made the decision to side with the Guardian of the Power of Azure Dragon.
From the explanations given by the system, You Fang roughly knew what the positioning of these Dragon Ninjas was. In addition, according to Emiya's testimony, these ninjas were indeed letting him go intentionally or unintentionally when they were chasing him yesterday, and he basically had an idea in his mind.
Now that I have been forced to become the guardian of the power of the Azure Dragon, I should do something corresponding.
"We don't have money, but doesn't he?"
With a strange expression, he pointed at the window of a two-story building in the distance, where a dim firelight was flickering.
"What are you..."
Hongye's eyes flickered.
Although she is still young and the position of Dragon Priestess is now held by her elder sister Wu Ye, it does not mean that she is unfamiliar with this chaotic world.
Youfang met Kurama's gaze, and the other nodded decisively.
"We have ways to control this brainless Daimyo, and you don't have to worry about any bad rumors about your tribe."
With Kurama's affirmation, the right side naturally became more unscrupulous.
"…By the way, did he bring any money?"
The eyes of the person on the right who asked this question were bright.
There were three other players whose faces were also shining.
Originally, most of them had no motivation for making money, but when they saw Heizi's blacksmith services and skills being sold, they immediately understood that money is very necessary in any era with a normal social structure. At the very least, it can help them increase their military funds!
Hongye exchanged glances with his companion behind him.
It seems that the new Azure Dragon Guardian is completely different from what we imagined. I always feel that his style and methods are closer to the evil camp.
So there was this scene where the evil thought tree parasitized Daimyo Inoue and gave him a sexy nightmare.
Kurama is not that interested in improving his own strength, he is just going with the flow to train himself in response to the increasingly complex plot missions. Rather than strengthening himself, he prefers to study various types of potions and demonic botany that use demonized plants as their main research material.
This was because of his hobby that he developed when he was studying flame plants with Hualing Rehuo. The sale of various potions with different properties at the cultural festival was a small part of his achievements.
In addition, there is the transformation of plants in different directions.
The full name of this evil thought tree is called Parasitic Evil Thought Tree. It seems that this new name is a bit superfluous, but it soon shows its true meaning of "parasitic".
As the body fluids continued to exchange and circulate, Inoue Daimyo's expression gradually changed from nightmare-like fear to dullness. Instead, the trunk of the Evil Thought Tree with a human face and torso began to change.
First, the facial features of the evil tree on the trunk gradually became clear, and began to approach Inoue Daimyo. Then the expression and body twisted, as if Inoue, who was parasitized, turned into the parasitic tree itself, and the parasitic tree itself turned into Inoue.
Hongye looked at the terrible scene in front of him with a tingling scalp, then looked at the people on the right who were happily watching a terrible B-level movie, and once again quietly held the Dragon God's magatama and began to pray to the Dragon God.
Although she is a reserve priestess, Hongye, like her sister Wu Ye and Nakolu, possesses a certain degree of power to communicate directly with the gods they believe in. Hongye asked the Dragon God, are these people who are clearly in the evil camp really okay?
The Dragon God responded very quickly, with just two words.
"The Fourth Calamity" and "Evil Enemies".
Hongye seemed to be thinking about something.
The screaming expression of the trunk of the parasitic evil tree suddenly stopped, and then began to shrivel and dehydrate rapidly. All the roots automatically fell off from Inoue Daimyo's body. Inoue Daimyo, who originally had a rather dull expression, woke up from his dull state, and his expression gradually became as majestic and hypocritical as usual.
Inoue Daimyo, who was naked and looking directly at the people on his right, said nothing but let out a series of sinister laughs.
The voice obviously came from Inoue Daimyo who had his mouth shut.
At this time, Kurama took out his flip phone, turned on the lighting function and shone it on Inoue's chest.
There was another face there!
This suddenly appearing human face made an expression that was blinding to the eyes of a dog when it was illuminated by the high beam.
"From now on, I will control this person. If nothing unexpected happens, no one should be able to see through this thing."
Although Kurama's expression was gentle, his eyes were not smiling at all.
When the human heard himself being called a "thing", he shuddered at first, but did not say anything. Instead, he hid himself again.
The original name of this parasite is Toguro-ni, a strange monster that can change its own form at the cellular level. It is a typical man-eating monster. It is very difficult to kill the original body. At the same time, it is also a monster that deserves a beating and has angered Kurama.
If you anger a powerful player, the final outcome will be that you will become an existence no different from a parasitic seed.
Brother Toguro, you can only be Kurama's dog for the rest of your life.
……
Warring States Ranbu, day 3.
The Shinsengumi rescinds the wanted warrant for Emiya Shirou.
Originally, Youfang wanted to use the favors he had accumulated with Kojiro Sanada, but it was obviously not possible this time.
On the other hand, there were a few more nominal guest aides on Inoue's side, and one aide whose advice resulted in the daimyo's internal resources being completely replaced by other materials was never seen again.
There is a new follower on the right side.
Reserve Dragon Priestess, Momiji.
When Hongye learned from the Dragon God that Youfang and others were actually preparing to support the Hattori clan and launch an all-out war against the evil camp, the clan training and dogma that had been integrated into her instincts immediately took effect.
To slay demons and eliminate evil, especially big demons like the demon soul Amakusa, the Dragon Ninja Clan has the obligation to do so!
Hongye directly chose to get rid of the job of guarding the Daimyo "Inoue", and had his companions set off overnight to return to Hayabusa to inform them of the tribe's current strongest combat force, who was like a leader to all the young ninjas and was also the only candidate for the next tribe leader.
Falcon Dragon.
In addition, as a clan focused on slaying demons and eliminating evil, the Dragon Ninjas have a very good relationship with the Iga Hattori clan and do not have too many conflicts with other ninja clans. Moreover, the actual leaders of both sides, Hattori Hanzo and Hayabusa, are very similar in character and way of doing things, which leads to them often sparring and fighting, and they are considered to be very familiar with each other.
If the group on the right offers to rescue in the name of Dragon Ninja, the Hattori will basically not refuse.
Combat power UP!
At the same time, players who had temporarily left the team for various reasons have gradually gathered in Heian-kyo again.
Chapter 734: A Step Late
With the financial support of Daimyo Inoue, five carriages were traveling simultaneously on the bumpy dirt road.
This is naturally the entire team led by the right side.
It is painful to spend money like water, but if it is not your own money, then all that is left is comfort.
Most of the roads in this era were trampled by people and horses, so it was normal for them to be bumpy. Most civilians in this era were not qualified to ride in such carriages, and the so-called aristocrats and powerful people could not keep themselves safe under such bumps.
A carriage at the rear stopped, and a shadow suddenly jumped out from it, held onto the roadside with both hands, and then began to vomit.
Um, it’s the student on the right.
The right side can withstand accelerations of several Machs, can run faster than a bird in the sky, and can even use body sensing to drive a powerful Gundam machine, but riding in this carriage with no shock absorbers at all will cause more damage to the right side than imagined.
This has nothing to do with the strength of the right physique, it is purely a matter of body habit. Just like some people get carsick, seasick, and airsick, some people get 3D sick, but some people are fine. People's physiques cannot be compared.
"...No...I can't hold on any longer..."
The man on the right, who spoke with a stutter, felt the sourness in his mouth and spat out the natto granules he had eaten in the morning. His face was pale and his eyes were a little dark. It was obvious that he didn't get much sleep last night. He looked like an immortal.
Of course, although this behavior made him feel very comfortable, it was somewhat embarrassing. At least the image he had established in the mind of his new follower collapsed in an instant.
