Exhausted, Ashitaka grabbed the porcelain bowl with her trembling right hand, hastily scooped up a bowl of water, walked ashore and gently lifted the wounded man, and then fed him water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It doesn't matter, right? You're very pale. The man was a little nervous, for fear that Asshidaka would fall down in the next second: "That's why I said that there is more luck and less luck......"

"So, what do you see?" After feeding the wounded with water, Asdidaka asked the man.

The man touched his face and replied, "It seems that I didn't see anything...... It was as if I had seen something. ”

Asidaka gently put down the dying wounded and encouraged him, "Cheer yourself up, and you will be saved soon." ”

"Thank you......" the wounded man struggled to squeeze two words out of his mouth. Asidaka put down the porcelain bowl and looked towards the sacred figure just now.

Now, both the golden sunlight and the divine figure vanished like a phantom.

"Let's go...... Ashidaka vaguely felt like he was grasping something crucial, but let go of his hand.

Then, that divine figure should be the key to breaking the curse of Ashidaka's right arm.

After a brief rest, Ashitaka and the others set off again.

This time, Ashitaka felt that the fatigue in his body was completely swept away, and he even had an inexhaustible energy.

Why...... From the very beginning, the body has become relaxed. Ashidaka, who was still able to walk like a flight with the wounded on his shoulders, couldn't help but question.

The man riding on the back of Yaklu suddenly felt that his arm could move, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? My arm doesn't hurt anymore, is it okay? ”

Trying to remove his hand from the strap around his neck, the man felt no pain, and couldn't help but raise his hand and shout excitedly, "My hand is good!" ”

"Oops, pain, pain, pain, ......" The large gesture of raising his hand made the man retract his hand and shout in pain. Although it was not completely healed, the man's hand was obviously better.

And the wounded man on Ashitaka's back has changed from the original dying to breathing steadily, and these magical sights make Asshidaka wonder if it is related to the figure just now.

In any case, it is a good thing that the wounded are out of danger, and the black smoke rising in the distance can already be seen in front of them.

When I pushed back the grass, I saw a scene that was completely contrary to nature.

"Ahh Look! That's the Iron Castle! The man shouted excitedly as he pointed to the huge fortress in the distance.

A fortress built directly on the top of the hill rose with pungent black smoke rising from it, with a large river in its back and a mountain in front of it, and the geographical location was quite good.

The tinkling of metal and the sound of the wind pulling by the blowers can be heard in the iron fort, and there is no doubt that it was built to refine steel.

The water used to cool the steel can be taken directly from the river, the minerals used to smelt the steel can be extracted from the mountains, and the waste residue and garbage removed can be poured directly into the river. For the people inside the Iron Keep, this is a convenient way of self-sufficiency, but for Ashidakar it is very brutal and brutal.

[Is it really good to treat such a great forest like this?] Ashidaka was silent.

At the city gate, the team led by the Black Hat Lord and the bald samurai had already begun to slowly enter the Iron Castle. Asidaka looked at the smelter castle with pungent smoke wafting from it, and couldn't help but put his hood and mask back on.

"It's a castle." Asidaka asked the man. When the man heard this, he immediately replied proudly, "This is the Iron Fort of Lord Black Hat, they mine iron sand from the deep mountains, and then smelt it into large chunks of steel!" ”

Ashidaka and the man walked towards the Iron Fort, and the man on the back of Ark saw a small boat on the river, and several people were sitting on land.

"Ahh Isn't that Niu Er! When the man saw his acquaintances, he immediately shouted excitedly at them, "Hey! I'm Jialiu! ”

Several men who were burning the fire immediately raised their heads when they heard the shouts, and one of them grabbed a harpoon and said in surprise: "Someone came out of the forest, is it a ghost?" ”

"Hey! It's me! Cattle raiser Jialiu! The man shouted again, his joy indescribable.

"What! The six who disappeared before have come back? "On the streets inside the Iron Fort, people are passing messages to each other. Countless people poured out of the city gates to see Koroku, who had escaped death.

"Great! Tell his wife! When the men of the musket team who were eating heard the news, they put down their chopsticks and conveyed them to each other.

"Oops, what's the noise...... I'm practicing writing, so be quiet. The bald warrior grumbled as he grabbed a brush in one hand and a bamboo board in the other.

The oncoming peasant shouted to the bald samurai, "The cow breeder who disappeared before is not dead!" Now it's on the other side of the river! ”

"What!" When the bald samurai heard this, he immediately put down the bamboo plank and followed the peasant.

On the shore of the Iron Fort, men Jialiu and Ashidaka, wearing hoods and masks, floated in small boats, while Yaklu swam across the river.

Yaklu, who had come ashore from the river, shook his body uncomfortably, and the water droplets splashed everywhere like rain, and people seemed very panicked and curious about this "monster" that they had never seen before.

Several peasants who were close to Jialiu all leaned to the side of the boat, looked at the surviving Jialiu and couldn't help but be surprised: "You're not a ghost, are you?" ”

"There are two more missing, what happened to them?"

With a heavy face, Jia Liu said to the eager people: "Only we are ...... rescued"

The wounded, lying on the boat, were lifted by the men of the musket squad and sent to the place of rescue.

"Get out of the way." The bald warrior pushed through the crowd and looked at Ashidaka and them.

"Lord Gonsha, the hooded man's ......," the soldier next to him gestured to the bald man.

The bald samurai named Gonsha straightened his chest, trying to make himself more majestic: "Who is this man?" I hadn't met him before. ”

Jialiu, who was injured in both hands and feet, was carried down, and said to Asidaka very excitedly: "It is all thanks to this little brother that we can be saved!" ”

"We should thank him...... Yes! As he spoke, Jialiu, who touched the wound, cried out in pain: "Pain, pain, pain...... Don't touch my wounds, oops......"

With his face covered by a hood, Asidaka straightened up the fur of Yaklu, and by the way, tied the rope that tied his bag to a dead knot again.

Ashitaka, who had been silent from just now to now, didn't know what to think in her heart, and she didn't say anything.

"That man, stop!" Gonsha shouted to Asidaka, who was about to leave, and beckoned the soldiers to walk towards Ashidaka together.

Then, Gonsha stood still in front of Asidaka and spoke first, "I thank you in advance for saving our people." ”

"But what puzzles me is that you arrived at the ironworks sooner than we left earlier." Gangsha's expression became a little dangerous: "What's more, you also brought back two ...... from the dangerous Mountain Beast God Forest" "Jialiu! ”

The woman in the cloth skirt and the turban on her head ran out of the iron fort without her image, interrupting Gonsha's words.

"Ahh Jia Liu shouted his wife's name with a touched face. After Ah Shi rushed over, he was relieved to make sure that Jialiu was safe. Then he scolded Jialiu in a stern tone: "Stupid! What should I do if my foot is injured in a cow farmer's foot? ”

"But, but......" Jia Liu defended with an aggrieved face.

"It's causing me trouble every day, so it's better to eat the mountain dogs! Then I can find a good man! Ah Shi continued to scold sternly, and everyone around him began to laugh. This little couple is everyone's pistachio, although Ah Shi scolds Jia Liu every day, but in fact, their relationship is the best.

Jia Liu pleaded with an aggrieved face: "Ah Shi, forgive me......"

The people around almost covered their stomachs and laughed, and Gunsha said to Ah Shi and his wife with an embarrassed face: "Hour, don't quarrel here when the couple quarrels. ”

Even the soldiers beside Gangsha couldn't help laughing, and after Ah Shi heard Gangsha's words, he turned his head to Gangsha and said, "I haven't said you yet." ”

"Leave the wounded alone, and don't usually come to the Iron Fort to take a few looks, what kind of guard are you!" Ah Shi walked over and said to Gangsha.

Gangsha didn't say a word, and avoided Ah Shi nervously, but Ah Shi crossed his waist and scolded: "Once something happens, you will ask others to die!" ”

"There's no way...... Gunsha said with a look of grievance.

[The women here are very ...... Got a personality? Ashitaka secretly wiped a sweat in his heart.

Ah Shi ignored Gonsha's defense, turned to the silent Asidaka and thanked, "Thank you for saving my stupid husband who didn't make it." ”

"Great, I've been thinking that if I don't bring them back, someone will be worried." Asidaka laughed.

Ah Shi took a closer look at Ashitaka, and suddenly laughed as if he had seen something interesting. Then he stepped forward and said curiously: "It turned out to be a handsome little guy, let me see your face clearly." ”

"Gangsha." A majestic female voice came, and the black-hatted adults in black kimonos in the crowd said to Gangsha, "Thank you very much, this is our guest." ”

Lord Black Hat looked at Koroku: "Koroku." ”

Jia Liu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted flatteredly: "Yes!" ”

"Welcome back, you're fine."

After hearing the unexpected comfort, Jialiu was moved with tears, and Ah Shi on the side said to Lord Black Hat: "Lord Black Hat, don't praise this fool too much, he will be arrogant." ”

Lord Black Hat shook his head and said to Ah Shi, "Hours, forgive him." After all, it was me who led the team and there were heavy losses. ”

"Oh, if there were only men, we would all be buried in the belly of the mountain dog!" As he spoke, Ah Shi put his shoulder on Gangsha, and then burst out laughing.

The people present burst into laughter again, and even the unsmiling Black Hat Lady showed a hint of a smile.

"Let the guests have a good rest." With that, the Black Hat turned and stepped into the Iron Castle.

Asidaka, who had not spoken much for a long time, took off her mask and showed a delicate face.

When Ah Shi saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "Look! Sure enough, it's a handsome guy! ”

The sentries on the city walls sounded their iron whistles and made a banging sound, and the gates that had been closed were opened again.

Asidaka felt the iron ball in her arms begin to emit a faint temperature, and her left hand unconsciously touched the cursed right arm.

[Perhaps, I can inquire about the news from here......]
