18. Women's power up
With the stupid goddess of "Chin. Fixed", the biggest stone in Sixteen Nights' heart has finally landed, and it is also a good thing that Serika can "cooperate". After staying overnight in the suburbs, he took Serika to "officially" step into this land that was probably "not quiet" at 16 nights the next morning.
Toria, the goddess who represents the "lion", if the origin of magic comes from Goddess Lily, then the "martial arts" that can be brought about by the simple body are gathered here. Lions are swift and dangerous creatures, and Toria's followers are as aggressive, aggressive, and ...... as the lions Together.
Although there is a lack of "mage" units in the ranks due to the martial spirit of the country, it ...... If Violence A is strong enough to a certain extent, magic or anything doesn't matter anymore. It would be unwise to clash head-on with such a country, but ...... If the other side rushes over without a head, it will also make things so tricky that there is no solution.
"That's it! Pass! Next! ”
The walls that seem to have been deliberately "built", the moat that surrounds the city, the suspension bridge that can be raised at any time, and the ...... Most of the archers on the castle tower will be on standby around the clock. Look...... There is no concept of "wartime state" in this city at all, it looks like it can go to war at any time, just at the inner city gate, if you really want to go inside......
"Pass! Next! ”
The soldiers guarding the city gate were also majestic, and although they didn't want to see the reality clearly, Sixteen Nights still had to admit that if they started a war with their own believers, it would definitely be as easy as mowing the grass.
Now it seems that not to mention any "army of 10,000 people", it feels like these knights only need a team of men and horses to turn their own city upside down. Sure enough, it was because they needed to be wary of Anima that they didn't easily attack Selika's "fat......
I pit myself and "help" myself, huh...... I really don't know what to think of Goddess Anima.
"You two, huh...... This ......" When Sixteen Night and Selica got out of the car to be checked, the knight, who had been vigorous before, suddenly became slumped, "Both are women......"
No, in fact, one of them is a man.
"Aren't you going to be examined?"
Imitating the movements of the others, Sixteen Night opened his arms, "We're still in a hurry." ”
"This ...... Ahh......h It's usually rare for women to come here. ”
What are you blushing at a "man", little brother? Hawkers,But at this time, I want to thank you for your innocence.,If you really touch something.,That's a big deal.。
"Captain Shiro is not there...... Phew, you are also rich, can I trust you? ”
"The eldest lady and I are just here to visit relatives." The experience of getting along with stupid people for a long time has made Sixteen Nights practice the ability to not blush and not beat in the heart, whether it is lying or bragging, "I didn't bring any dangerous goods." ”
Poor little brother, I really want to tell him that sometimes what he sees with his eyes is not necessarily true, but it is better to be able to easily enter the city. The original plan was to let Serika go first, and she couldn't be "searched" before she used the "world" to sneak in.
"Anyway, do you have a weapon on you?"
"There's a dagger for self-defense." Sixteen Nights said as he lifted his skirt slightly, took off his weapon, shook it in front of the slightly stunned knight brother, and handed it to him.
"Hmm...... No problem, just an ordinary weapon. ”
No, it's not ordinary at all, there's a demon hidden in it.
"Alright, you can pass, stay safe, next!"
Pass! Whew, although there is nothing to be happy about, at most, thank the guards for creating opportunities for themselves.
"Hey, hey! Why don't they have to be searched, we have to do a body search! ”
"Less nonsense! I don't want to do it again! Turn around! ”
……
Re-boarding the carriage and driving slowly into the city, Sixteen Nights looked around and thought about what to do next. If you want to explain the previous misunderstanding, you must go and explain it to the goddess here in person, but not all goddesses are like the stupid Selica who rolls around outside when she has nothing to do.
Generally speaking, goddesses will stay in the realm like Anima, and of course, since they are goddesses of other families, it is basically impossible to enter her realm from the church. Therefore, at least find a way to reach out to a "believer" who can connect with the lion goddess.
Hawkers, but considering Selika's situation, let's find a place to settle down and serve my "stupid lady" well.
"Wow...... It's been a long time since I've been here to Toria-chan. ”
If Sixteen Nights was looking around looking for a place to stay, then Serika was just very "happy" after entering the city.
"I don't know if the shop opened by my grandfather is still there...... Now, let's go check it out. ”
"Yes, I don't object."
"Huhu...... I haven't been there in over 50 years, so I'm looking forward to it. ”
Yes, the kind of old shops with age are often very ...... Ay? Wait......
"What age was that old man fifty years ago?"
"Hmmm! He was last seen on his 80th birthday. ”
…… In this world, there shouldn't be any ordinary human beings who can live to one hundred and thirteen.
"Well, it should still be there."
However, the shopkeeper I saw was probably not the old man in Selica's mouth. Just listen to the meaning of Selica's words, she came here a long time ago?
"Miss, you...... Have you ever seen a goddess like this before? ”
"Hmmm! Toria-chan is a very gentle goddess. Selica nodded like garlic, "She often brings me snacks." ”
Do you judge a goddess only if she feeds you......
But...... No matter how you think about it, the lion goddess can't match "gentleness", obviously ruling such an irascible and aggressive powerhouse.
"You used to have a good relationship?"
"Well, it's not just us, everybody has a good relationship. It's just that...... Later, I don't know why they all separated......" Serika scratched her head, "Hmm...... I can't remember, I just remember how unfriendly everyone left was. And then little by little, it became the relationship it is now. ”
"If you can't think of it, you don't have to think about it."
If you have a long time, you must divide it, and if you have a long time, although the goddesses have a good relationship in the past, this statement is really concerning, but the reality is that now the goddesses are almost on a fight. Blindly nostalgia for the past, the result is that he was ruthlessly calculated by Anima like before.
"You have to remember that now she is our enemy, and she intends to attack our city."
"Well, I know, everybody's changed."
Hey, don't suddenly say such old-fashioned words with a vicissitudes of life, stupid, although your stupid face is indeed funny, but it's better than this look that sees through the red dust.
"Well, anyway, let's find a place to stop and stay overnight, and then we'll play with you for a while, and then we'll go to the informant that Phyllis has planted here to get some information."
"Informant?"
"That's it...... People who have a good relationship. Sixteen Nights pouted, "It's not necessarily rewarding, but it's better than spinning around like a headless fly here." ”
At the very least, to clarify the "assassin incident" in Xilu's mouth before, although they already know that this incident was done by Anima, but now the believers of the lion goddess who are angry and confused will probably not believe in any verbal lobbying anymore.
Phyllis had arranged an informant in a nearby country for a long time, and since this was the case, they should have known more or less about the events of the previous few days. Only by stating that "the assassins were all Anima's men, and had nothing to do with Selica, and that Serika had no knowledge", these justifications could find sufficient evidence to solve the crisis at the source.
Assassination of the Goddess ...... Success is a windfall, and failure is expected. Then he threw Selikara, who had nothing to do with it, into the water, and simply declared war without even making excuses, Anima...... She's so much more mobile than she looks.
If you think about it this way...... Is it really appropriate to rush to an informant to investigate clues?
