Chapter 308: Border Stone Fort
"Dada..........." On the silent avenue, the black one-horned spirit horse walked forward gracefully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
On horseback, a bare-headed little bean Ding held a long map in both hands and muttered, "Well, now this position should be at the border of the forces controlled by Konoha Village in half a day." ā
"There's a fortress there that observes the changes of the Scourge and protects the border roads, and I can take a break there. The little bald head said happily.
Needless to say, this little bald head is the oil girl Zhizun who left Konoha Village, and it is already the second day since he left Konoha Village.
Although it was not completely troublesome along the way, I don't know if it was because of the protection of the spirit horse around me or because it was secretly guarded, and nothing happened to me.
ā¦ā¦ā¦
Time passed, and five hours later, Zhizun, an oil girl riding a spirit horse, saw a cylindrical stone castle from a distance.
At the same time, his figure was also discovered by the people in the stone castle.
"Dada......"
"Child, are you a human or a foreign body. Ten minutes later, when the oil girl Zhizun rode the spirit horse to the stone castle in front of him, there were already people staring at him from the stone castle.
Although it was an ugly thing to be asked, when he was out of the house, the oil girl Zhizun also knew the other party's concerns, and the oil girl Zhizun, who wanted to rest in the stone castle, didn't want to arouse the other party's suspicion, so he immediately replied: "Of course it's a person!"
"I'm from the direction of the village, how can it be a foreign object!" Perhaps for fear that the other party would not believe it, the oil girl Zhizun immediately added.
However, even so, the people in the stone castle apparently didn't believe him very much.
"Hmph, that's not for sure. The ninja who was staring at the Oil Maiden Shizun on the stone castle continued, "Do you have anything that will prove your identity right away?"
"If not, I wouldn't let you in. ā
"Why don't you believe me, if you don't believe me, you can come down and test my chakra. Seeing that the other party didn't even mean to come down to check, the oil girl Zhizun, who was in a hurry to go in and rest, immediately said a little anxiously.
"Hmph, I'm sorry, my strength is not strong, and I'm afraid of death. ā
"Only by relying on the sealing circle attached to this stone castle can I be sure to defend against some evil spirits and demonic creatures, so I will never leave the stone castle. The young man on the stone castle spoke.
"Hmph, if you want me to open the door, it's absolutely impossible, if there is a problem and he calls in directly, then I'm not miserable. The young man thought cautiously in his heart.
"Shouyi, are we really not going to let him in? It's getting dark!" On the stone castle, a fat young man with a pockmarked face next to the young man who had been refusing said weakly.
"Why, Yitian, don't you still want to let him in? The young man who was called Shouyi turned his head and said with a gloomy face.
Seeing his companion asking himself with a gloomy face, Yitian immediately said weakly: "I just think it's too dangerous for him outside." ā
"After all, he still looks so young, even if he is guarded by a spirit horse, I'm afraid it may not be absolutely safe at night. ā
"You still know that he is small! since you know, then you have not doubted him?" said Shouichi in an unhappy tone.
"Do you think there's a parent who would let such a young child out and hang around?"
"And have you forgotten where we are?"
"Frontier Stone Fort. Ichida replied weakly.
"Yes, Border Stone Fort," Shouichi said with a sneer.
"As a border guard stationed here all year round, Yida should know clearly how far we are from Konoha Village, even if the other party rides a one-horned spirit horse, it will take at least a day and a half to run from Konoha here. ā
In other words, this little bald head outside the city spent the night outside. ā
"It's very suspicious to be alone, especially at such a young age, no matter how you look at it, it's problematic, otherwise how can you spend the night in the wild. Shouichi said with almost certainty.
"Ahh
"What are you afraid of, as long as we can't do it, even if the other party is a degenerate of the demon clan, there is nothing we can do. Seeing the nervous and frightened look of his companion Ichida, Shouichi said nonchalantly.
"Then are we just looking at him like this?" After hearing that as long as he didn't open the door, there was no danger, Yitian, who was a lot relieved, immediately looked at the oil girl Zhizun under the stone castle with great interest.
At the same time, the oil girl Zhizun, who was riding on a spirit horse under the stone castle, saw the two people on the stone castle muttering for a while and then stopped paying attention to her appearance, and immediately understood that the other party obviously changed him on the spot.
"Damn, it's all here, do I have to sleep again?" Thinking of the experience of rummaging through the packages and not finding a field tent after starting to rest last night, so that she stayed up all night directly on horseback, the oil girl Zhizun felt a burst of irritability in her heart.
"No, we have to find a way, otherwise there will be no time to waste. Looking at the sunset that was about to disappear in the distance, the oil girl Zhizun said fiercely: "It seems that there is only a way." ā
"I don't believe it, people along the way won't be notified about me. Thinking so in his heart, the oil girl Zhizun immediately finalized a plan that could attract the attention of the stone castle administrator.
"Help!"
"Help!"
"Help!"
The next moment, under the gaze of Shouichi and Ichida in the stone castle, the oil girl Zhizun, who was riding on the spirit horse, immediately exerted her loud voice and shouted tearing the sky.
Even if Chakra was sealed, under his powerful physique, and under the loud voice that Oil Girl Zhizun was already very good at, the miserable huge cry for help immediately spread towards the stone castle.
"Damn, what's going on? How dare he make such a big fuss. Shouyi and Yitian, who were shocked by the sudden yelling of the oil girl Zhizun, were immediately stunned.
They couldn't understand why this anomaly would make such a big fuss.
"Could it be some kind of code?" Shouyi thought to himself: "No! Send this kind of broken signal, it is better to retreat or attack directly!"
"Shouyi, don't the other party have no problem!" Compared to Shouichi, who thinks that the oil girl Shizun has a problem, Ichida, who has a weak personality, began to shake his previous thoughts.
Yes, at this time, the thoughts of the two of them are actually not important, because with the loud voice of the oil girl Zhizun, the stone castle that occupies a small area immediately boiled.
"What's going on?"
"Who's shouting for help?"
"Is it a monster that has killed you?" shouted one after another, and one after another figures began to appear on the stone castle.
"Damn, this guy actually alarmed everyone. Looking at the figures that appeared one after another, Shouichi and Ichida, who were in charge of the guards, immediately thought of it in frustration.
Obviously, both of them knew that in any case, when they were in charge of guarding, the two of them actually let the people outside the stone castle quarrel with everyone, so if there is no understandable reason, a dereliction of duty will definitely not be able to escape.
"Except for what? Why did I hear a child crying for help? Just as everyone was looking at the child under the stone castle, a loud voice came from inside the stone bag.
The next moment, accompanied by this loud voice, a two-meter man with an extremely tall body, wearing heavy armor and two machetes around his waist, walked up from under the stone stairs in the stone castle.
Under the sound of heavy footsteps, the huge figure completely walked out of the stone staircase, revealing in the eyes of everyone.
"Yes, my lord is here. ā
"Lord Iron is here. Under the respectful gaze of everyone, the giant man named Tetsu-sama glanced at it casually and walked towards Shouichi and Ichida at the beginning.
"Your Excellency. ā
"Lord Iron. ā
"Hmm" After a simple response, the giant man first looked at the little bald head below, and then said to the two people in front of him: "Tell me! What's going on?"
"Yes, sir. Hearing that the giant man did not directly blame, but asked the reason, Yida quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Although I haven't had much contact, but I'm willing to listen to our subordinates, it's clear that Lord Tie is at least a sensible person. ā
At the same time, just as Ichida's heart was relaxed, Shouichi on the side had already completely informed the other party of what happened.
"Oh, is that so? I see. After listening to Shouyi's brief description, Lord Tie first said in a deep voice: "Except for those who have a task, everyone else should go back and rest!"
"Yes. ā
After the group of people around him who had been awakened to check the problem left, the giant man named Iron Lord immediately looked down at the oil girl below and said, "What is your name, why are you here, and where are you going?"
The oil girl Zhizun, who has been observing since the stone castle began to be crowded, also knew through a short observation that the giant man in front of him who asked him directly, if not the supreme commander of the stone castle, would at least be a very weighty person.
Therefore, after hearing the other party's inquiry, the oil girl Zhizun immediately said without the slightest hesitation: "I am the oil girl Zhizun, a person from Konoha Village, a demon hunter of the empire, you can call me Master Zhizun." ā
"I think you've been notified about me. ā
"That's right, there is indeed a message in the village that a little bald mage will pass by here, and we must take care of it. Hearing the words of the oil girl Zhizun, the giant man replied loudly.
"But the world is dangerous, although you are right, I am willing to believe you, but there should be no less inspection, you should understand. ā
"Of course I know your difficulties, but I just want to check if it's faster. The oil girl Zhizun replied loudly: "It's just that it's almost dark, and I don't want to spend the night outside today." ā
"It's going to be done in a moment. ā
After saying that, the giant man jumped directly from the ten-meter-high stone castle with a direct jump.
There was a loud "boom". The giant man's weight plus the equipment on his body, at least four or five hundred pounds, directly smashed a two or three meter pit under the stone castle.
"Bang, bang, bang" Under the sound of dull footsteps, the oil girl Zhizun looked at the huge figure less than five meters away from him, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly and said, "Do you need to be enthusiastic?"
"Uh, hahaha"
"My name is Iron Evil, and I'm the guardian of this stone fortress, and it's a pleasure to meet you, mage. The giant man said with a laugh.
At the same time, as the Iron Evil approached, a bloody aura full of iron-blooded killing came to the face.
This is the instinctive breath left over after years of fighting.
Feeling this oncoming breath, the oil girl Shizun squinted slightly and looked at the other party, and at the same time slightly urged the spirit who was a little restless because of the other party's breath to step forward and said: "I don't know if the three generations of Hokage have told you about the chakra that I have been sealed, so you can only enter the chakra into me yourself to check if there is something wrong with me." ā
"Oh, it seems that the mage is real!" Hearing the oil girl Zhizun say as she approached, Iron Evil said with a relaxed face:
Of course, while saying this, he also grabbed his giant hand on the shoulder of the oil girl Zhizun.
The next moment, a chakra condensed to the extreme probed into the body of the oil girl Zhizun from the iron evil's hand.
While feeling the other party's probe, the oil girl Zhizun asked, "Why do I know that it will be true that I am sealed, and maybe others will also know?"
Many of the people who were there at the time were witnessing together. ā
"So, I didn't let go of the inspection!" Hearing the words of the oil girl Zhizun, the iron evil said jokingly:
The direct contact inspection of chakras is the best and most accurate way to identify chakras in the world.
After a dozen breaths, after thoroughly probing the oil girl Zhizun's body, the iron evil retracted his wisp of chakra and said, "No problem, it seems that it is you." ā
"Well, it sounds like you've been waiting for me for a long time. Thinking that he would be able to go in and rest immediately, the oil girl Shizun asked curiously, "Why do the three generations of Hokage have any other orders?"
"Yes, I was waiting for you. Iron Evil said affirmatively: "But it's not the three generations of Hokage of Konoha, but the High Priest of the Empire." ā
"I'm actually from the Empire. Iron Evil added in a slight whisper.
"Well, you're not from Konoha. The oil girl Zhizun said with some surprise: "Then why are you staying here! Shouldn't this part be the responsibility of Konoha's people?"
"I was originally a wandering samurai, but because of the relationship between the temple, I was able to see the hope of moving forward again, so I was a member of the imperial temple from the beginning, but in the past few years, the strength of the ninja village base was not good, so our group was sent by the empire to support them. Iron Evil said lightly.
"I'm almost the last of those who haven't yet learned the Empire, and when I see you off, I'll end this support mission and return to the Empire. ā
"Yes, that's it!" said the oil girl Zhizun, "What did the high priest ask you to wait for me here for!"
