Under the organization of the Holy See, this time the martial soul duel, the nine golden knights of Europe participated in the form of teams.

This has two advantages, first, they can negotiate with the Martial Spirit Duel organizer and try not to let the nine Golden Knights be assigned to the same division, so as to avoid their own people from eliminating their own people.

After all, the Holy See mobilized the nine Golden Knights in order to try to win the top four in this martial soul duel, and it is best to cover the top eight.

This not only suppressed the commercial value of the Japanese martial arts, but also boosted the momentum of the European martial arts, and then the Teutonic walking knight competition could be opened again, and the Japanese martial arts would compete head-on for commercial interests in the combat sports market.

Second, although the nine golden knights have been famous for a long time, not everyone has really fought against each other, just like Japanese swordsmen rarely fight against strange masters, and European golden knights don't actually fight casually.

When it comes to their martial arts realm, everyone represents a considerable amount of commercial interests, they are the personal representatives of the forces behind their respective forces, often with titles such as head coach, head coach, chief instructor, etc., under normal circumstances, they all appear as the gods of the town, and if they fight each other, once they fail, it is easy to damage the commercial interests of the forces behind them.

This time, it was rare for a team to come to Japan, and there were no reporters present, so everyone exchanged ideas with each other in private, which improved everyone's ability.

Of course, there is a monster princess, this one beat the challenger as soon as she came up, almost no one can take a sword head-on, as for the ability, I didn't even look at it, just the monster-like strength, amazing speed and accurate swordsmanship, has made this princess invincible.

The Holy See was not short of money, nor did it look down on the free hotel accommodation provided by the Japanese organizers, so they paid for the entire two floors of the Fuji Hotel, including all the rooms on the top two floors of the Fuji Hotel, including the presidential suite.

As the chief intelligence officer accompanying Artoria VI, Barry Wald, of course, also lived in this hotel.

Barry Wald lives in a superior suite (the presidential suite, of course, is the residence of Her Royal Highness the Princess).

He was not idle during this time, and finally investigated the origin of his brother-in-law's murderer clearly by bribing informants, purchasing intelligence from third-party intelligence organizations, and ordering his subordinates to investigate directly. However, Megumi Oshima's whereabouts are still unknown.

'Yanagi Death, parents unknown, orphans adopted since childhood by relevant charities under the Japanese royal family, showed amazing kendo talent from a young age, and was later handed over to the Sword Heroes Association by several swordsmen, including the contemporary chief Sasaki Shinpei, from an early age to train in kendo, at the age of 14 awakened the martial spirit, at the age of 18 passed the sword test, officially became a member of the Sword Heroes, the Sword Heroes Club ranked 19th. ’

'Proficient in kendo, fighting, and marksmanship. He has received basic assassination and espionage training, and is suspected to be one of the members of the Japanese royal family's dead soldiers.

There are three frequent spots:

Tokyo National Security Special Police Training Office, located at the following addresses (omitted);

Special Operations Division of the Japanese Army, at the following addresses (omitted);

Sakura Guard Training Base, address as follows (omitted)'

On a thin piece of paper, all the information about this young killer named Yanagi was written, and this thing cost Barry 300,000 euros to get the information of this person from various sources, and compared them with each other to piece together such a simple information.

However, when he saw this information, Barry Wald preferred that he had not investigated it.

In modern society, the status of a martial arts master is not much different from that of some idol stars, athletes, and scientists.

The personal strength advantage of martial arts masters in the face of modern thermal weapons does not have any decisive advantage, if there is, it is just faster to shoot and more accurate, and that's it, you have to go through professional shooting training.

To deal with a martial arts master, even if it is a frontal battle instead of an assassination sneak attack, even if the martial arts master has a firearm, it is completely enough to send three good shooters, if it is a well-planned assassination, only a decent killer is enough, of course, if you insist on playing cold weapon combat with martial arts masters, those three are of course far from enough.

Therefore, it is not difficult to kill a martial arts master.

However, if the enemy is the Japanese royal family, it will be completely different.

For example, a high-ranking and powerful figure such as the president of the United States can never be as strong as a martial arts master in terms of personal force, but the difficulty of assassination between the two is almost a world of difference.

And the assassination of the Japanese emperor is definitely not inferior to the assassination of the president of the United States.

Of course, the person who instructed Yanagi to kill Angel may not have been the emperor of Japan, but it is more difficult to find out which one of the Japanese royal family gave the order to kill Angel Ruiz, which is beyond the British intelligence capabilities in Japan.

What's more, as an intelligence officer of the royal family, Barry Wald is not a British intelligence officer, these two identities are completely different, and it is impossible for him to mobilize British intelligence agents to work for him.

What's more, even if the investigation comes out, what can it do? The assassination of a swordsman and the assassination of a member of the Japanese royal family will definitely not cause a counterattack of the same level.

It is because in the three years before and after the first and second martial soul duels, in the process of blood feud, revenge and counter-revenge around the martial soul duel, the Japanese ninja assassins once shocked the whole world!

Whether it was chaebol leaders, secret services, or European aristocrats, the Japanese Assassins were everywhere, and in three years, as many as 74 people died at the hands of the assassins, not counting the innocents who were involved in this underground war.

The Japanese Assassins were very cruel and tyrannical, and those who carried out assassination missions generally did not kill only one target, but all the target's relatives and friends, and sometimes even the family dog would be killed.

If the Wald family were to be targeted for revenge by the Japanese royal family, even the British royal family might not be able to protect them, not to mention that the Japanese assassins were simply chickens and dogs in their missions.

There used to be a very popular computer game, in which the protagonist must not be detected in the process of infiltrating the target area, as a result, players developed a way to infiltrate, that is, to kill the people who saw the protagonist, the problem is that of course it is possible to play this way in computer games, but in reality, Ninja Assassin has always done this.

Even if Barry Wald loves his wife very much, he has to think about the safety of other people. After all, his wife's brother is not his own brother.

What's more, logically speaking, his wife's brother also died in a fair duel in the ring, just like Yuaki Hoshino died at the hands of his wife's brother, and his death can be regarded as fair and reasonable.

In the past, he promised his wife to help her take revenge without thinking about it, and that was because a small martial arts master was not qualified to let him be fair and reasonable, and fairness and reason would only be shown to opponents who were evenly matched.

But if the opponent is replaced by the Japanese royal family, it is not that he is unreasonable with the other party, but that he has to worry about whether the other party will reason with him.

Speaking of which, emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and the British royal family naturally has some loyal subordinates, but those people are the royal family's subordinates, not his subordinates.

Besides, under the influence of the traditional civilization of the East, especially in the extreme and contradictory civilization of Japan, it is not uncommon for the Japanese royal family to cultivate the number one hundred and eighty dead soldiers.

However, Western society has been immersed in commercial civilization for hundreds of years, and in this social and cultural background, it is not easy to cultivate its own dead soldiers!

It is not that there are no dead soldiers in the British royal family, but there are definitely not as many dead soldiers as the Japanese royal family. Take 10,000 steps back and say, the dead soldiers of the British royal family will never die for themselves, let alone their own wives.

——————————

Standing on the large lawn in the backyard of the Sword Heroes Association, Yanagi and Ryoji were the only ones by their side.

This was originally an outdoor venue for swordsmen to practice swordsmanship, but under normal circumstances, few swordsmen practiced swordsmanship here.

Everyone has their own kendo practice room, and even if you want to practice fencing outdoors, all swordsmen have their own dedicated kendo practice venues.

After all, practicing kendo is not performing kendo, sometimes you need to practice new swordsmanship, such as Yanagi Yuanhe and what he wants to practice today is Yan Hui and Fei Yan Xiang Kong Style.

Yan Hui is also upside down, it is estimated that he can master it after practicing a few times, but Feiyan Xiangkong involves air control and aerodynamics, even if it is Liu Shengyuan and people like Liu Shengyuan who have reached the peak of their body control ability, they dare not say that they can master the secret technique of turning in the air after practicing three or five times.

In the process of practice, it is very possible to fall and stumble.

Therefore, other swordsmen generally don't like to practice swords here, after all, everyone is a person with status, and they are basically at the level of kendo patriarchs when they go out, so how bad is it to be seen making a fool of yourself here?

Liu Shengyuanhe doesn't care about these, if he makes a fool of himself, he will be ugly, other swordsmen have their own practice venues, but he only has three indoor practice venues at home, the swordsman club, and the Aoki Pavilion.

In the manor given to him by Master Oshima Hui, the silent kendo room has just been renovated, and the smell has to be emitted before it can be used, and the open space of the manor can of course be used to practice swords, but the relevant service personnel of the manor have not yet arrived, and he asked his father to help find someone, but he has not found a suitable person for a while.

Therefore, for him, if he wants to practice the technique of Feiyan Huixiang, which requires a large space, for the time being, it is really only the most suitable here, of course, there is also a place in the park outside, but there are too many people who eat melons that attract it, and Liu Shengyuan and he don't want to be in the limelight for the time being.

Aoki Ryoji carried a plastic table and chair, not for himself, but for Master Yanagi Yuanhe, in the satchel he was carrying, there were also some delicate snacks and drinking water, and he had the honor to watch Master practice kendo, which was a benefit that only the chief disciple had, and even the Changyuan name who awakened the martial soul did not have this opportunity.

Pulling out the 'Washing Snow' Liu Shengyuan and sighing for a while, during this time the sword qi was all directed at the 'Bai Hong', he hadn't used the 'Washing Snow' to practice kendo for a long time.

The sky was cloudless, it was a sunny day, and of course, the temperature was 32 degrees.

Walking barefoot on the grass, Yanagi Yuanhe walked relaxed with the 'snow washing', the lawn was mowed from time to time, the height of the grass was just below the instep, and sometimes some grass tips were stuck in the soles of the feet, slightly itchy.

Yanagi Yuanhe was not in a hurry to dance the sword, but walked slowly on the grass.

Aoki Ryoji set up the tables and chairs, set up the water and snacks, Yanagi Motowa did not drink drinks and tea, only drank boiled water, but now that he has come up, Aoki Ryoji prepared the world's top mineral water for the teacher, after preparing all this, Aoki Ryoji did not sit down, but stood respectfully to the side, looking at the master who walked slowly on the grass.

This fourteen-year-old master is already the top kendo master in Japan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a grandmaster.

Yanagi Motohe's words and deeds, Aoki Ryoji records them in the notebook every time, maybe he can't become a great kendo master like his master in the future, but he can organize and collect his master's words, deeds and teachings!

Just as the Analects was not written by Confucius, but by his disciples, the wisdom of Socrates can only be known through the writings of his disciple Plato. Although I don't have the talent of my master, I may be able to carry the glory of my master and leave my name in the history of Japanese kendo!

Walking slowly, the wind blows through the body, the sun shines on the body, looking up, the blue of the sky, is an endless and far-reaching blue, in the empty sky, you never know how far away the focus of your eyes is, this feeling, people who practice swords indoors can never feel it.

Although Yanagi Motokazu was still only walking on the grass with a sword, he had already realized why Chief Sasaki would say to him: "Practicing swords indoors will make your heart narrow, and you still have to go to an open natural environment to practice swords." ’

The pores of the whole body are opened, and the air and sunlight seem to flow directly into the body, making me feel that my current self seems to be mixed with the wind and the sun.

Liu Shengyuan and lazily waved the long knife, this is not any kind of sword technique, but a casual swing of the hand, making himself feel the most comfortable posture.

At this moment, Yanagi Yuanhe neither pursues the sharpness of swordsmanship, nor pursues the exercise of the body, and does not even consider the rules of swordsmanship, just now, being blown by the light wind and being basked by the sun, it is too comfortable, so Yanagi Yuanhe has forgotten what he is here to practice, and now, he just dances how comfortable he is, and does not think about other things at all.

The place where Aoki Ryoji was standing, about ten meters away from the place where Yanagi Shengyuan and the dance, he could clearly see that the master was casually waving the long knife, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

If it was a disciple of Aoki Pavilion who dared to practice kendo so carelessly, of course Aoki Ryoji went up and shouted loudly to correct the attitude of the students practicing kendo.

However, since the person who is casually dancing the sword is his own master, Yanagi Yuanhe, of course, it is another matter, and the master must have a deep meaning in practicing swordsmanship in this way! Aoki Lianji looked at it carefully and respectfully, for fear of missing the slightest movement of the master.

Unconsciously, not far away, Yanagi Yuanhe and the dancing long knife began to drive the surrounding air, and air currents surrounded Yanagi Yuanhe, gradually bringing up some grass clippings to spin and fly around him.

Yanagi Motokazu only felt as if he were at one with the wind around him, and the wind not only swirled around him, but also through the pores on his skin, as if it had taken something away from his body, and seemed to fill his body with gas.

This is really a wonderful feeling, originally the five internal organs of the human body are closely relied on together, but now, this kind of internal and external unity, the feeling of free flow of wind in the body, but let the middle of the five internal organs, there is an extra layer of wind as a buffer and isolation, it seems that many organs in the body can be in the chest cavity and abdominal cavity, with their own control slightly sliding, moving a small distance, not as before, can only be tightly fixed in one position without moving.

Moreover, because of the addition of such a layer of wind-like things, which acts as a cushion in the middle of the internal organs, people seem to be much more relaxed, as if these organs have lost some of their weight.

The sword qi contained in the skin layer of the body, composed of the golden thread clothes, also blows into the hidden channels of the body along the wind, penetrates into the internal organs, and constitutes a network of many thin scaffolds, connecting the front, back, left and right sides of the body into one, and the entire golden thread clothes are no longer just wrapped on the surface of the body, but penetrates into the body, and inside the body, forming a three-dimensional support structure.

In Aoki's eyes, a tornado was forming around the master's body, and this tornado that appeared out of thin air was spinning faster and faster, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, carrying grass clippings and dust rolled up from the lawn, forming a wall of wind.

Through the wind wall, Aoki Ryoji could see that Yanagi Motokazu's feet had left the ground, and he was walking in the air, resisting the wind.
