Chapter Seventy-Eight: Happy New Year
"You want me to back you up? But I don't have that ability......"
Kirito played with the teacup and said lightly. It is understandable that this practice www.biquge.info the village of Takishinobi, and many villages have used this method in order to survive. It's one thing to sympathize, it's another to agree.
"And I'm still a ninja of Konoha and neither of this will do us any good......"
"For you, Konoha should be more of a place to live than home......"
The beard sneered, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mysterious arc.
The teacup in Kirito's hand stopped turning, and a crack appeared on it.
The clear sound of the sword rang out abruptly in the room, and a wave of momentum erupted from Kirito's body, pressing the beard on the opposite side.
"What do you mean by that?!"
"Haha, just kidding, you can think about this slowly......"
The bearded man laughed a few times, his back was almost soaked, and he almost forgot that this master was a ruthless man who could make a person's life late.
The pressure in the room suddenly dissipated, and if you ignore the three-inch unsheathed blade, it can be regarded as a pleasure.
"Huh? Did I fall asleep just now? ”
Leaning against the wall, the sleeping rope tree woke up slowly, stretching his somewhat stiff lumbar spine.
"You can sleep a little longer......"
Kirito twitched the corners of his mouth and withdrew the long sword in his hand into its scabbard.
"What happened?"
Rope tree rubbed his eyes and looked at the two of them in confusion.
"It's not too early, just rest first, I'll send you out of the city tomorrow......"
The beard is replaced by a pleasant face, but the stubble on the face makes the image less friendly.
"Oh, by the way, I remember we were talking about it...... But it seems that because I was too tired, I fell asleep......"
Rope tree rubbed his forehead and thought about everything, looking a little distressed. The two people next to him complained speechlessly: You can still remember......
…………………………………………………………………………………
In the empty and dark underground passage, several rats are looking for food rations in the sewage.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps, and several mice stopped moving, straightened up, and looked in the direction of the sound vigilantly.
The light of the fire banished the darkness, and then the huge shadows of the monsters slowly moved towards the place, and the rats had never seen such a terrifying sight, and they scattered in all directions.
"It's a shame that guy was able to come up with this way, but it's a pity that we waited in the northwest wind for half the night to sneak into Evergreen City......"
Kirito groped his way through the tunnel with a torch in his hand, holding a map in his hand.
"Kirito-senpai, are you very familiar with Uncle Yang?"
The rope tree who followed behind Kirito held a kunai tightly in his hand, and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
"It's not familiar, but I helped to save you and provided us with some information......
Kirito said casually, but a tendon had already been lifted in his heart, in case he was found to be colluding with other ninja villagers, after returning to Konoha, waiting for Kirito would be a sharp long knife or heavy shackles, but he was ready to be interrogated by Rope Tree.
As long as he fools the rope tree and lets the rope tree use this false information to fool the high-ups of Konoha, he will be able to get out of the matter.
"But why would he risk such a risk to save us, we don't have such a great charm to make people who don't know anything go to the soup, if it's the Hokage, it's about the same...... Could he see that I was the man who could become the future Hokage? Well, I'm embarrassed to say that, I still need to improve......"
Rope touched his chin and pondered the intention of the beard, and then the topic somehow turned to a strange place.
Looking at the laughing rope tree, Kirito's head was already full of black lines. It was normal at first, but in the end, it became more and more tasteful? Teenager, your brain circuits are really skeletal and skeletal.
Where did the expected doubts go, what was the emptiness that hit the cotton, and are you worthy of me who is ready to be cross-examined?
And...... Are you the Hokage or the Hokage's man?
"Ahem, I don't know, you can ask Nobi senior, he and Yang seem to be very familiar with each other at the beginning......"
Kirito shook his head vigorously and closed the door to the new world with difficulty. Cough twice and try to get the topic back on track.
"Nobi Senpai, who is he?"
Rope Tree scratched Cheap and wondered, he felt a little familiar with the name.
Kirito couldn't help but burst into tears: It's finally here, as long as you pass this level, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
I just need to pretend that I don't know, and throw the pot to Lao Yebi perfectly, anyway, you took us to find the beard, why did the beard save me, I don't know. Probably because of the love between friends, after all, they once sang behind bars together......
"Nobi-senpai is one of the people in charge of this rescue mission, if he hadn't taken us ......"
After Kirito Balabala's introduction, Rope Tree seemed to have an impression of Lao Yebi.
"It's like I've seen him somewhere, by the way, in the family photo before I was born, it's the uncle standing behind my sister......
Seeing that Rope Tree had shifted his attention to Lao Yebi, Kirito suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But as soon as he remembered the choice given to him by his beard, he had a headache.
I was saved by someone, and it is certain that I will give up my life to repay it. And the conditions given by the beard are extraordinarily attractive.,When you issue a task to Konoha you will specify yourself.,It's equivalent to having a stable customer.,The richness of a ninja village's remuneration can be imagined.,Although there are three chapters of the law with the beard.,Try your best to help under the principle of not threatening Konoha and violating Konoha's interests.,But the definition of this principle is too vague.,And your identity is also very sensitive.,Dark ninjas and out-of-town ninjas hook up.,Do you want to do a god?
This kindness owes people a little clogging in their hearts, and the money will be hot in the future......
But this time there is always a harvest, with this map, isn't the land of the earth just coming, and leaving if you want?
Didn't a great man say it? Find out what is lucky and can be used in the misfortune, and make the best use of it.
Well, that's Kirito's motto, and the great man is also him......
Kirito quickly shakes off his frustration and looks at the map in his hand triumphantly.
This somewhat yellowed sheepskin map was handed down from the Warring States Period, and it was the design of the original Evergreen City, because the designer was a master architect, and the high-rise of the land country was more traditional and conservative, so the main body has not changed for hundreds of years, but there has been no change except for the renovation and heightening of the city wall, only a few decades ago a flash flood flooded the Evergreen City, and collapsed the outermost cliff, the lord of the Evergreen City shrunk the area of the Evergreen City by one-third, and the city wall moved to the west of the second cliff, And a new drainage system was rebuilt.
The old drainage system was abandoned, and now it is a shortcut for "fare evaders" like Kirito. The tunnel leads all the way to the ruins of the old city walls, and the exit is in the moat of the old city, where the Evergreen City used to be a sewage outlet.
Kirito sighed at the shit luck of the bearded man, such drawings could be found by him, knowing that these blueprints were not easy to preserve, either abandoned by meat eaters who regarded them as obscene and ingenious and quietly decayed, or they were lost in the flames of war and used as rags by those who did not know the goods.
It seems that after returning to Konoha, he will also report this problem to his superiors, and it is recommended to take back the blueprints of the city of the Fire Country so as not to be used by the enemy.
His gaze wandered carefully over the parchment, and suddenly froze in the blank space at the edge of the drawing.
"Huh? How can there be a few lines of small print here? ”
