Hearing this, Luo Shu nodded, and then under Jinguji Jiuhuicheng's half-smile, he calmly said:
"I did before, but now I don't want to talk about it."
After saying this, Jinguji Jiuhuicheng's face froze.
Chapter 192 Jinguji Kuesumi's 'Bargain'
Inside the castle tower.
Jinguji Kyuucheng, who was sitting on the cushion, looked at Luo Shu seriously.
Facing the gaze of Jinguji Kyuusumi, Luo Shu just smiled and looked at the silver-haired witch in front of him with interest.
The eyes of both parties met in mid-air, and after staring at each other for a while, they looked away.
At this time, Jinguji Jiuhuicheng also closed his eyes and exhaled softly:
"You are far worse than the 'Luo Shu' that Shim mentioned."
When Luo Shu heard the name 'Shim', his expression did not change, he just said calmly:
"It's a bit too late to make friends now."
"Hmph!" Jinguji Kyuusumi snorted coldly, seeming very unhappy.
But soon, she controlled this emotion so quickly that Luo Shu wondered if she was acting.
"Natural Fang, Cloud Fang, Tessaiga, Bone-eating Well, Tree of Ages, and the Four Souls Jade."
Jinguji Kuesumi counted these things carefully and said calmly:
"I need to borrow these for research. Of course, during the research process, I will ensure that the objects are intact."
"In exchange, I will assist you in tracking down Cong Yunya and the tree spirit of the Tree of Ages. 010"
The spirit of the Tree of Time? Was it the passage that became a spirit? No wonder it could send Kikyo and I to the present... Before Jinguji Jiuhuicheng explained, Luo Shu had never understood how Mu Yunya controlled the passage, but now, he understood.
Although he got the information from Jinguji Kuesumi, Luo Shu still pretended to have known it for a long time, and even said with a little bit of evil humor:
"You know a lot."
Jinguji Kueisumi sneered at this time and said with a cold face:
"There are a lot of books in Musashi Province, but because they are written in Chinese, no one cares about those records except for some civil servants."
"The stupidity of rentiers will prevent them from ever recognizing what magnificent 'treasures' they have hidden within themselves."
"Should I say she is worthy of being called the 'Witch of Knowledge'?"
Luo Shu praised Jinguji Kyuusumi a little.
However, judging from the expression on Jinguji Kyushu's face, she didn't seem to appreciate it at all.
"Don't say anything more." Jinguji Jiuhuicheng said to Luo Shu with a cold look: "I have already given my price, so what is your answer?"
"Not enough." Luo Shu refused without thinking, but deliberately did not say what was not enough.
After all, Luo Shu himself didn't know how many good things Jinguji Kyushu had in his hands.
Seeing this, Jinguji Jiucheng frowned slightly, as if she didn't expect Luo Shu to be so "difficult to communicate".
She was silent for a moment, and thought carefully about the chips she could still bring out. Finally, she said calmly:
"I once seized a secret method from Zhenli Tianwen. I thought you might be interested in it."
"What secret method?" Luo Shu was a little curious.
At this time, Jinguji Kuezumi said with a serious expression:
"How to cultivate the 'World Tree'."
When Luo Shu heard this ranking, his expression paused, then he suddenly thought of something and said in astonishment:
"Tree of Ages?"
Jinguji Jiuhui Chengduo looked at Luo Shu with some surprise, then nodded and said:
"It seems you should have guessed it."
At this point, she paused and explained:
"The cultivation of the World Tree has very high requirements for the tree species. Among them, there is a kind of 'Space-Time Tree', which is the best material for cultivating the World Tree."
"Originally, when I knew about the existence of the Tree of Ages, I wanted to cultivate a World Tree for my own use."
"According to the description of the secret method, as long as the right resources are invested, the World Tree can absorb an abyss and evolve it into an 'alternative space' that can exist for a long time."
"But if I think about it carefully, I alone, even with the power of the entire Jinguji family, do not have enough resources to cultivate a complete World Tree, not even a seedling."
Thinking of this, Jinguji Jiuhuicheng couldn't help but look at Luo Shu.
It might not be possible for the Jinguji family, but SDS, which is behind Luo Shu, might have such resources.
A different space where one party can exist sustainably is a relatively safe and stable "base".
For large forces, such an alien space is definitely one of the most critical foundations.
Therefore, Jinguji Kyuusumi was not worried at all that Luo Shu would refuse.
"A world tree that can support the existence of another dimension..."
Luo Shu murmured in a somewhat complicated tone:
"If this is really the method of cultivating the World Tree, I guess my bargaining chips will not be enough."
Luo Shu had originally overestimated the wealth of Jinguji Jiucheng, but he did not expect that the other party actually had this kind of "secret method".
Thinking of this, Luo Shu hurriedly sent a message to Lux, Tachibana Kirika and Shim through the system's internal forum.
"Jinguji Kuei-Chun wants to use the secret method of cultivating the World Tree to trade some items with me for research. Can we talk?"
The next second after Luo Shu sent the message, Ju Wuxiang sent a response.
"No need to talk, I'll sell it if I can get it. By the way, if you can't get it, tell me and I'll turn around and block the door of Jinguji's house."
Seeing Tachibana Kirika's reply, Luo Shu's face turned red. After receiving Lacus' answer of "try your best, and if that doesn't work, use force", he turned his gaze and said to Jinguji Jiucheng:
"Besides the items I mentioned earlier, do you have any other conditions?"
Jinguji Jiuhuicheng seemed to be not surprised by Luo Shu's agreement, so as if he had been prepared, he quickly gave his own conditions:
"I need to divide a part of the alien space to serve as my territory, and the size must be at least 2000 acres."
"make a deal!"
Luo Shu agreed to this condition without thinking, and asked:
"Just you, and not the Jinguji family?"
Jinguji Kuecheng just said coldly at this time:
"As long as I am here, the Jinguji family will exist forever!"
"understood."
Luo Shu nodded, then glanced at Isayama Yomi and Izuna Noriyuki standing beside him.
At this time, Jinguji Kuesumi said calmly: "Isayama knows what to do."
"Then he..." Luo Shu glanced at Iitsuka Noriyuki.
Jinguji Kuesumi said without changing his expression:
"It's just a puppet. If you're worried, I can give it to you."
"I see."
Luo Shu understood what he said, and immediately smiled and said:
"In that case, let's start the first item of cooperation."
As for whether Iitsuka Noriyuki wanted it or not, Luo Shu decided to wait and discuss it with Jinguji Kusume later.
We can't let Isayama Yomi know now that he wants to use Izuna Noriyuki's "control power" to act as his eyes and ears to monitor her, right?
"Divination of the location of Congyunya and the Tree of Ages spirit? I see."
Jinguji Jiuhuicheng stood up at this time, and then walked towards Luo Shu and said:
"Come with me."
After saying this, Luo Shu nodded, glanced at Ling Yue Xian Ji, and then followed Jinguji Jiu Huicheng.
Chapter 193 Seto Can and Aota Fang
It was early in the morning and the sun had just risen.
On the border of Musashi Province, in a village built on the mountain.
The monster 'Qingtianfang' belonging to the Nura group crossed the loess road in the center of the village and walked towards the temporary residence amid the villagers' evasive gazes.
During this process, several middle-aged villagers wanted to get rid of the fear in their hearts and look directly at Qingtianfang.
However, when they saw Qingtian Fang's tall and burly figure and a face that obviously did not look like a good person, they immediately retreated back.
Realizing this, Qingtian Fang said nothing, but quietly quickened his pace and walked towards the house he was staying in.
The tall Qingtian Fang walked quickly, and soon he arrived at an old thatched house in the middle of the village, and pushed the door open.
When Qingtian Fang walked into the room, a female voice that sounded a bit silly rang out:
"Mr. Qingtianfang, what did the village chief say?"
"He said the village is currently safe and there are no problems."
As Qingtianfang spoke, he looked at the brown-haired girl with a princess cut hairstyle sitting in the room.
That is Seto Can, the daughter of the leader of the Seto Group, a youkai force in the Seto Inland Sea.
It was also Qingtianfang who happened to find an "acquaintance" in the same position after stepping into the abyss.
Although the various forces on the island nation are competitors for the treasures of the abyss, they still cooperate tacitly during the initial entry into the abyss.
Although there are many people who harm each other, there is still a consensus to act in a group.
After all, compared to the abyss, these outsiders would be more dangerous if they did not stick together.
Therefore, after discovering that the two people happened to land in the same place, Qingtianfang teamed up with Seto Can, and after a brief understanding of the situation, they announced to the public that they were "cooperative demon exorcists" to explore the situation of this abyss.
"Is there no problem?" Seto Chan frowned and muttered to himself: "But, I clearly sensed a strange power in this village."
Qingtianfang nodded upon hearing this, and then said:
"There's something wrong with the village chief. He lied to me."
"In other words, there is indeed a problem in the village, but the villagers may have been coerced, or are they complicit?"
Seto Chan, who was kneeling in the room, spoke as he picked up a bento box containing kelp rice balls decorated with plums.
When she saw Qingtianfang coming in, she raised her crudely made wooden lunch box and asked, "Want to eat?"
"No, I'm not hungry, you eat it."
Although he really wanted to ask where the bento came from, Qingtianfang shook his head and glanced at the open door behind him.
The monster's physique allowed Qingtianfang to discover people and horses staring at this place in every corner of the village.
A rough count showed that there were at least five people monitoring them in various places in the village.
Seeing this, Qingtianfang closed the door silently, took off his shoes, stepped onto the floor which was more than ten centimeters higher than the entrance, and sat down opposite Seto Chan.
At this time, Seto-chan, who had just finished eating a rice ball, said with a natural expression:
“Are we being watched?”
"Ah! Yes." Qingtianfang nodded. He was not surprised why Seto Can discovered it.
After all, she is the daughter of a monster lord, so it is normal for her to notice something unusual.
At this time, Seto-chan also silently picked up the rice ball and ate it while saying:
"Just now, the village chief's wife brought me these rice balls. There was a little drug in them, but I washed it off."
"That's a bit too much. It's a rare food, but it's wasted like this."
