Section 44 The Provocation of the Demon Temple
Oda Natsuyanagi hadn't visited Harry since he had brought him to the inn. It seems that he must be actively preparing something......
However, Harry was already in the 'chest', trying his best to cooperate with Oda's intentions. He hoped that he would concentrate on pleasure and play in the imperial capital, and he would fulfill his wish......! I can also find out some news.
Therefore, in the past two days, in addition to going back to the inn at night to sleep, Harry has been soaking in the imperial capital for almost all day. Wherever you want to go, someone will lead the way, what you want to eat, just tell you, what you want to play, and someone will come up and give ideas. It was really a fairy day.
Another reason why Harry spends all day in the imperial capital is that the twenty best beauties do not stir up infinite charm in the post house all the time, and when he returns to the post house, Harry thinks that he has come to the green house...... Unable to restrain himself for a while, Harry had to adopt a strategy of avoidance.
Although Harry's movements within the Imperial Capital were unchecked, he was always under the watchful eye of his 'attendants'. In addition to this, Oda Natsuyanagi also appointed two level 9 tennas to protect Harry's safety, of course, this is only in name, his actual purpose, no need to guess......
It wasn't difficult for Harry to get rid of this gang of people, but if he did it himself, wouldn't it mean that he had another purpose? So, Oda is relieved!
Quiet days are always short-lived, though...... On the third day, trouble finally found the 'door'!
"This is the envoy sent by the Free Empire: Lord Harry, right?" greeted three middle-aged men dressed as warriors. Two of them were smiling, while the other was a little 'gloomy'.
"Exactly!" Harry nodded slightly, smiling gracefully. The two smiling men on the other side remembered that they were the two elders of the Demon Temple, and two of them intercepted Oda Natsuyanagi at the 'gate' of the city. Harry, the 'gloomy' warrior with a calm face, hadn't seen it.
"I heard that the envoy is the fifth master of the Free Empire's battle list, and in Shimomiyamoto Rokuzo, he happens to be ranked fifth on the magic list. I don't know how the level of the Free Empire's battle list compares to the magic list of our Oriental Kingdom......" Miyamoto Rokuzo, who had a calm face, looked arrogant, and the long knife in his hand was horizontal in front of him, and he opened the posture and 'wanted' to make a move.
"Is this your Oriental hospitality, or is this your temple's 'private' behavior?" Harry asked with unhurried squint eyes.
"Don't misunderstand, Miyamoto-kun, he heard that the envoy once showed great power in the gambling battle and fought against the top ten masters of the Dark Palace. The first time he heard about this, it was really a bit appalling, so he wanted to talk to the envoy and confirm it. If the envoy does not want to, he can refuse, and we will not force it. The Demon Hall Elder with a smile on his face explained.
One with a black face, two with a red face...... To put it bluntly, it's just looking for yourself to provoke!
"In that case, I refuse!" Harry waved his hand calmly, and walked around Miyamoto's rokuzo, preparing to leave.
"Are all the masters of the Free Empire so timid, they don't even dare to take on a challenge!" The three of them obviously didn't expect Harry to refuse so simply, and they were all stunned. Half-ringing, Miyamoto Rokuzo gritted his teeth and reprimanded.
"There is a rule for this envoy to fight! If you make a bet that appeals to me, I don't mind playing with you!, or rather, your challenge represents the Demon Temple...... If you lose, the Demon Temple will not have an objection to the compensation!" Harry said with a chuckle, looking back.
...... The two Demon Hall elders glanced at each other, obviously having some scruples. Judging from the description provided by Oda, the envoy was undoubtedly very powerful, and the purpose of their provocation was to see Harry's strength. But if you have to pay a lot of money if you lose, it's not what they want.
"How about I place 200 gold coins?" Miyamoto Rokuzo was obviously dumbfounded, unable to understand the meaning of Harry's words, thinking that Harry was just trying to win a lot.
"Hahaha!" Harry laughed as he looked up to the sky, grabbing his right hand in his arms and pulling out a cloth bag full of gold coins. "I'll give you these 200 gold coins, please get out of the way!"
"You ......" Seeing Harry throw the gold coin at his feet like a flower, Miyamoto was furious and wanted to do it.
"No!" the two elders hurriedly stopped Miyamoto. Although the Demon Temple has the heart of alliance with the Holy Light Empire, they are not willing to offend the Free Empire now.
"If you attack this envoy for no reason, I can see that this is a serious provocation by your Oriental Empire against the Free Empire!
"If you want to 'fight' with this envoy, you are not qualified enough. Since you can't do anything special good, this envoy is not in the mood to play tricks with you......" Harry dropped a sentence and walked away.
Your own strength is the most important hole card! Now, it's not the time to uncover it......
"At a young age, the mind is already so good...... This envoy doesn't seem to be simple!" said one of the elders of the Demon Hall softly.
"No matter how powerful he is, he is only one person!If the joint meeting passes the resolution to ally with the Holy Light Empire, we will have a reason to capture him and use him as a bargaining chip to blackmail the Free Empire...... Presumably, his identity is not ordinary!" said the other elder with a sneer.
"Toyotomi, Elder Tokugawa, why don't you take him down now!" Miyamoto Rokuzo asked angrily.
"Do you think you can take him? Although what Oda Natsuyanagi said may be a bit exaggerated, it cannot be denied that he must be a very powerful master! It is estimated that no one in the magic list is his opponent in a single fight...... However, he was always alone! ”
"The Holy Light Empire doesn't know that the Freedom Empire has an envoy to the Imperial Capital, and Saito's side is hiding it well! They hadn't figured out Harry's strength, but they were in control—the temple itself thought so.
......
The joint meeting of the two halls was a top priority in the Imperial Palace, so Harry didn't have to ask to know the day of the meeting.
The night before the joint meeting...... The streets were cleared, and the local representatives arrived in the imperial capital one after another, and everything was ready.
"The streets and shops have been cleared, what are the places we can play tomorrow?" said Harry, seemingly dissatisfied, to the 'squire'.
"Historically, during joint meetings, the Imperial Kyoto needs to be cleaned up! so as not to cause 'commotion' and trouble. Envoy, why don't we go to the outskirts of the imperial capital tomorrow?" replied respectfully.
"Forget it, I've been here for a few days. From tonight, I will be in retreat for a day and a night, and you must not disturb me! The food and water I need are ready now!" Harry commanded.
"Yes!"
In the middle of the night, in Harry's room, the 'door' and the windows were already closed. The 'attendants' slept in their own rooms, with only a few night watchmen walking up and down the corridors. The two heavenly ninjas were guarding the two big trees at the entrance of the *** 'gate', and as long as there was any noise nearby, they could wake up at the first time.
With such surveillance, it stands to reason that Harry would not have left the room without a sound...... However, this is based on the fact that Harry doesn't know how to do space magic.
In the middle of the night, Harry had indeed meditated in his room. He also deliberately 'made' a strong magic 'wave', showing that he was working hard to cultivate. From the second half of the night, the mana 'waves' gradually weaken until they disappear and become imperceptible......
In the wee hours of the morning, Harry teleported out of the inn. At this time, the sky had not yet dawned, and Harry was directly transmitted to an altitude of 800 meters, and with the observation of the 'naked' eye, no one could see Harry's figure.
Today is the day of the joint meeting of the two temples, and it is time for us to act!
Harry soon flew over the palace, and his 'spirit' divine power extended down, carefully probing the palace.
Not only are there a large number of patrolling samurai on the ground, but there are also a lot of tennin hidden in the branches and leaves of the big trees in the palace. If you fly down rashly, you will definitely be discovered by the other party.
Fortunately, before dawn, Harry descended to an altitude of about 200 meters. In this position, no matter how good the other party's eyesight is, it is impossible to see himself in the presence of only moonlight. And the perception of the average level 9 master is about 100 meters, and the height of 200 meters is enough to make everyone unaware of themselves.
Harry flew four or five times around the palace, quickly determining the location of the joint meeting. Only one large hall in the middle of the palace has room for thousands of people. At this time, the meeting had not yet begun, and the hall was unguarded.
However, because of this, the conference hall is very empty, and there is almost no place for its own hiding. And after the meeting began, there were many masters, and it was easy to find out. Therefore, I am afraid that I can't eavesdrop in the main hall. However, his 'essence' divine power is strong enough, and his hearing and 'essence' divine power can hear normal speaking voices at a distance of two hundred meters, so he can also choose a more relaxed hiding place.
Soon, Harry had chosen a place. Between the main hall of the Conference and the nearby palace was a mezzanine about a meter thick, large enough for Harry to fit in. In the mezzanine, Harry didn't have to worry about being seen, because except for a slight crack in the roof, the entire mezzanine was almost closed, and the gap in the roof was just right for Harry to ventilate.
Space Teleportation!Using flying spells will cause magical 'waves', and the palace is heavily guarded and easy to spot. So Harry chose to teleport directly into the mezzanine!
Now, I am waiting for the start of the joint meeting...... I want to see for myself, what kind of 'yin' scheme this Oda Natsuliu has! If Monrok really wants to ally with the Holy Light Empire, he will only have to strike first!
