Rei Kondo, who was born in a traditional samurai family, and she was born as the only daughter of the clan, which means that Rei Kondo alone pinned the highest expectations on the entire Kondo family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Although the path of cultivation is very difficult, I am still proud to be a samurai! I put my life on the bushido that I believe in! Even if it is to pay for it, it will not hesitate! ”

"And yet...... I'm just a woman after all...... Physically unable to outperform men...... After 12 years of family training, I gradually lost hope in me...... When I was thirteen years old, the man brought back a mother and son...... Since then, my mother and I have become outcasts from our families...... At the age of fourteen...... Mother left the family and disappeared ......"

"Despite this, I still believe in the bushido that my heart desires, and I will continue to ...... The day after the arrival of the stranger...... Michimoto Saito, an ambitious politician, opens the doors of the underground kingdom and recruits the Kondo family as a guest, and the man ...... Abandoned the land that had been held for generations, and retreated into the ground, becoming a deserter...... The Kondo family abandoned their country as they abandoned my mother and me...... I can't stand that kind of lie that uses bushido as a shield...... So, I escaped, even if there was only one person, I had to fight to the end for my country! Even if I know that I am dead, I will die on my own land! ”

"I left the Kondo family and fled to Hokkaido, joining Yamato Castle with the purpose of fighting against the ghosts, and it happened that both lords had the idea of establishing a female samurai regiment, so I naturally became one of them! Let's be honest...... Until he met the lord, his subordinates did not have confidence in fighting against the aliens...... But! As long as we have the power of the Lord, we will be able to drive the demons out of our homeland!! And from now on, Rei Kondo's sword will always fight for the Lord! Kondo Ling's eyes stared at Dongfang Fan firmly, and the perseverance that burst out of her flawless and weak face was really rare.

Dongfang Fan also understood Kondo Ling's life experience, and although he was very sympathetic to her experience, he still shook his head and vetoed her loyalty.

"I can't accept your loyalty."

Rei Kondo's expression was stunned, and he paused for a moment before asking in a puzzled tone, "Why?" Does the lord think that his subordinates are undercover agents arranged by Mr. Long Yi? ”

"No, it doesn't matter to me if you're undercover or not...... I don't accept your loyalty because I'm not the 'object' of your loyalty...... You've said that you can't leave your land behind and go underground, and now you're serving me as Lord with the hope that I will fight for your land, but you seem to have forgotten that I'm not from Toei. ”

"If, in the future, I come into conflict with the land you believe in bushido, for the sake of my country, and in one of my resolutions, it endangers the interests of yours, then will you choose to betray me? Or do you choose to obey me? Dongfang Fan's question made Kondo Ling stunned again.

"If you choose to obey me, then you have also betrayed your country, and then your choice is no different from that of your family, because their bushido believes in family interests, so when the survival of the family is threatened, they choose to abandon the country; And what you believe in is the national interest, and when there is a conflict of interest between your country and your so-called loyal lord, you can only carry out your bushido by choosing the national interest...... In that case, the loyalty you now call itself will be broken...... Your contradictory behavior now will only make your future more uncertain. After Dongfang Fan finished speaking, he quietly waited for Kondo Ling to think.

Kondo Ling also asked herself in her heart at this time: "Jun and Guo, which side should you be loyal to?" ”

However, she could not answer, or rather, she did not think about the situation when Jun and Guo were in opposing positions.

"Lord...... Will you do something harmful to Dongying? Kondo asked weakly, how much she wished that the answer given by the lord in front of her at this time was no.

"Not necessarily, even though I don't want to do it, others don't necessarily force me to do it...... In order to protect yourself...... I have only a choice. Dongfang Fan did not answer directly, but he did not deliberately avoid Kondo Ling's inquiry, but from his heart.

"That'...... What is the expectation of the sovereign? Miss Biluo once said that the sovereign expects 'the world to stop fighting', what kind of way does the lord expect to achieve the world's stop? Kondo Ling did not give up, and asked deeply, hoping to find a reason for him to follow Dongfang Fan with confidence.

Dongfang Fan paused, and replied in a very calm tone: "The world will stop fighting, wipe out all wars, and let the world return to the peace before the invasion of the aliens, or even more peaceful...... And 'stopping the fight with the sword' is my approach! ”

"Stop fighting with a sword? What does sword mean? ”

"Sword ...... You just need to understand it as: the weapon I use to achieve the purpose of stopping the world...... It can be a knife, it can be an axe, it can be a stick...... In short, as long as it exists for the sake of stopping the world, it is a sword. Dongfang Fan thought about it and finally redefined the sword.

Kondo Rei took a deep breath, then pulled out the katana at her waist, held it in front of her, and said in a more resolute tone: "The lord wants to stop the fight with a sword, then Kondo Rei's sword will become the sword of the lord!" In order to fulfill the wish of the sovereign to stop fighting in the world, Rei Kondo will hold this sword born for the sovereign even if he gives his own life and fight until the last moment! ”

"Even if you are an enemy of Dongying, will you be loyal to me?"

"Yes!"

"Even if you have to dedicate your body and mind, won't you hesitate?"

"Yes!"

"Even if you become a sinner in the world with me, will you follow in my footsteps?"

"Yes! On the way of the lord, Kondo Ling will leave the most unwavering followsteps! ”

Three questions and three answers, without the slightest hesitation, without any falsehood, Kondo Ling really put his lord above everything.

"Good...... Since you've said so...... Then, I want your body and mind to be completely subordinate to me now......" Dongfang Fan sighed helplessly and asked.

"Yes." Kondo Ling was stunned for a moment, and then responded with a red face.

"I want your body and mind to remember what I said next...... On my way to stopping the world, you must first learn ...... That is: to be afraid of death. Dongfang Fan's words changed, and Kondo Ling was stunned again.

"Lord...... This...... You make your samurai subordinates fear death...... This ......" Rei Kondo couldn't approve, but it was hard to refute.

"There is nothing like this, I want you to learn to be afraid of death, not to let you be a turtle with a shrunken head, but to let you cherish your life, and only by living can you continue to implement your own philosophy! Therefore, from now on, as long as you feel the danger, don't be hard, there is no shame in being afraid of death, and dying worthless is the real reason for ridicule. Under Dongfang Fan's explanation, although Kondo Ling couldn't fully accept it, she didn't resist it very much.

"Okay, it's really a little tiring from the bumps on the sea these past few days, you and Biluo go to bed to rest together......" Under Dongfang Fan's order, how dare Kondo Ling not listen?

The night passed without incident......

The next day, in the main hall of the Yamato Castle Mansion on the shore of the right lake, Naohito Yamato, who single-handedly founded Yamato Castle, was anxiously awaiting the arrival of his distinguished guests - after receiving the letter of contract from Yamato Ryuichi, he had been looking forward to a meeting with Dongfang Fan, and the latter's refusal to meet last night directly led to the result of Yamato Naohito having insomnia all night.

"I really want to see the scene that Ryuichi depicted with my own eyes...... If it weren't for the fact that many of the crew members had opened their mouths to confirm the ...... I'll really take it as a joke......" Naohito Yamato, as the lord of a city, can't hide the anxiety in his heart at this time.

"Brother! Mr. Oriental has arrived! ”

At this moment, the shouts of Yamato Ryuichi came from outside the door.

Naohito Yamato stepped forward to greet him with a smile, and when he saw that only Rei Kondo was pushing a wooden wheelchair, he was a little shocked in his heart: Why didn't Miss Biluo, who has the power of infinite laws, come?

Shocked to stunned, but not on his face, Yamato Naohito stepped forward and asked Dongfang Fan in a wheelchair about the rest cordially, and did not have any contempt because of the mask on Dongfang Fan's face, but completely ignored Kameda Koshou in the rear, which made Kameda, who was already extremely good-looking, look very ugly.

The main hall on the first floor of Yamato Castle Mansion is spacious and boundless, and on the edge of the circular conference table in the center: Yamato Naohito, Dongfang Fan, Yamato Ryuichi, and Kameda Koshou are sitting around, Kondo Ling stayed at the scene, very quietly behind Dongfang Fan, at the same time, Muramasa Daolang Maru is also standing behind Kameda Koshou, but he looks at Dongfang Fan from time to time.

"Mr. Dongfang has taken care of my brother along the way, so that I am grateful as an elder brother! I also learned about the Book of Contracts...... Although a little embarrassed...... However, if I can, I would like to beg Mr. Dongfang to sell us some of the letters of contract as the lord of Yamato Castle......" Naohito Yamato completely ignored the existence of Kameda Koju, and was only talking to Dongfang Fan from the beginning to the present.

As soon as Kondo Rei heard what Naohito Yamato said, she felt inexplicable guilt in her heart: if she hadn't told Yamato Ryuichi about the Book of Contracts, there would be no situation like this.

"The matter of the Book of Contracts is naturally possible, but ...... The purpose of my coming to Dongying, presumably the city lord also knew it through Brother Ling...... I also hope to get the assistance of your city for the resources and intelligence I need......" Dongfang Fan was obviously not surprised by this, or rather, everything was under his control.

"Lord of Dahe City, this official came to Yamato City as an official of Tianzhai Mansion this time not to listen to you chatting with outsiders, about the merger of Yamato City into Tianzhai Mansion, presumably my monarch has already told him in the previous letter, this official came this time only for an answer, I hope that the city lord will not disappoint this official." Kameda Koshou took the initiative to express the fact that he was still alive with a grim face, and he did succeed in attracting the attention of Yamato Naohito.

Naohito Yamato frowned and did not answer directly, causing the entire hall to fall into a dead silence......

"By the way, the lord hasn't seen the effect of the Book of Contracts, has he? Xiaoling, it's up to you to demonstrate it to you. Dongfang Fan smiled slyly, and the conspiracy in his heart gradually got on the right track......
