An hour later.

"Teacher, you said you were rescued on the way?"

After hearing Gu Yun's description, Ikeda Asaya and the others, who had been late, all showed expressions of disbelief.

Is there anyone else in this world who can save their teacher from danger?

After learning of the anomaly in N City, Luo Xin and Seventeen also arrived overnight with Ikeda Asaya.

As the saying goes, there are many people and great strength, even if they can't help much on the frontal battlefield, they are very good at investigative work.

"The main reason is that I saw that he was an old man, and I was embarrassed to shoot directly."

Gu Yun explained.

The younger sister also told him to respect the old and love the young, so Gu Yun's plan was to wait for the lantern ghost to attack him, and then he punched the other party's head, but before the lantern ghost could make any substantive moves, he was sent back to the underworld by the sudden witch.

"I see."

The three of them were stunned.

Hearing that there was an enemy that put the teacher in danger, they thought that Frieza had taken advantage of the chaos to invade the earth.

"But there's one thing I'm more concerned about, what kind of genre do you belong to those witches who stab evil spirits with knives?"

Prior to this, Gu Yun's entire knowledge of witches came from Ikeda Asaya and the Supernatural Encyclopedia, because the Ikeda clan had practiced the art of drawing swords for generations, so she was not representative among witches, and in the description of the "Supernatural Encyclopedia", the main means used by witches to expel spirits were spells and charms, and they were as weak as witches in terms of physical attacks.

But after seeing the sharp posture of the witch just now, and the sassy posture of quickly fleeing the scene of the accident after stabbing the ghost, her every move was very much in line with Gu Yun's wishes.

"Teacher, what you said should be a modern shrine maiden."

After a moment's thought, Ikeda replied, "Actually, there is a deep misunderstanding of shrine maidens. ”

"For example?"

Luo Xin also became interested after hearing it, she always felt that the witch and the witch were somewhat similar, and in the Chinese characters, the two were just reversed, both of them used spells, and the only difference was probably the difference in the dress and spell effect of the two.

"For example, some shrine maidens actually use guns when necessary, but they are filled with salt bullets."

In this era of booming technology networks, self-styled witches are destined to be eliminated from the market, especially after the invention of firearms, more and more soul slayers realize that remote attacks are the future development of the spirit removal industry.

Almost more than ninety percent of supernatural creatures possess physical bodies that are much more powerful than humans, and it is never wise to rush into close combat.

"I've heard that the chief shrine maiden of Inari Shrine once used a sniper rifle to blow up the head of a century-old demon, and if you have to say it, it's a little strange that the shrine maiden doesn't know anything else now, and the short knife used by the shrine maiden you just met should have cast a spell that can directly cause damage to the spirit."

And the Ikeda clan also taught many shrine maidens who were skilled in sword drawing.

For a long time, it became a trend in N City to carry a famous sword diagonally around the waist of the shrine maiden.

"Actually, if you count it, this change was brought about by the Fernando family, and before they came to N City, most of the shrine maidens were still following the tradition."

"What did the Fernando family do?"

Luo Xin's curiosity was even heavier, she had just slept on the plane, and now she woke up a little energetic.

"Although some people say that they are a branch of witches, in fact they know everything, and the method of making holy water and the knowledge that many witchers have at that time were brought here by the Fernando family."

Fernando now has a very high status in N City, but when they first arrived in N City, they were also treated as outliers.

Because they were using a system beyond human comprehension, the world at the end of the 16th century was far less connected than it is now.

"Soon after arriving in N City, the Fernando family at that time fully learned the skills of witches, and for decades helped the locals to remove spirits for free, which not only allowed them to integrate into N City, but also allowed the locals to discover the power of various magic fusions."

After a period of baptism, it has become difficult for the people of N City to distinguish who is a witch and who is a witch.

The ability of the witch will be the witch, and the witch's ability will be the witch, and there are several legendary witches in history who will pull out a knife and cut people without saying a word, resulting in women who know a little about exorcism will be called witches in the local area.

"What about the man? Don't the men here take away their spirits? ”

Another thing that shrine maidens and witches have in common is that their professions are limited to women.

This phenomenon makes people wonder if when will the men in N City stand up?

"Men can also remove spirits, but there is no specific name."

"My father, for example, is actually much stronger than the chief shrine maiden of Inari Shrine, but everyone sees him as a swordsman rather than a spirit slayer, but there is also a saying that it seems that women's perception of spiritual power is naturally much stronger than that of men, and most of the people who can learn magic in the shrine are mostly women, so over time the custom has been formed." ”

Even the Ikeda Asaya clan is no exception.

Men of the Ikeda clan were expected to become swordsmen from birth, while women were sent to a nearby shrine to practice at around the age of three, and if things went well, the female family members would stay at the shrine to serve as shrine maidens until they were ready to get married.

"If it weren't for the fact that the elders wanted me to be the successor of 'Ikshine', maybe I would still be staying at Inari Shrine right now...... Actually, the position of the shrine maiden is also quite good, the shrine maiden is very respected in the local area, and I have heard that many people's dream is to marry a shrine maiden back home - when I was still studying at the shrine, many suitors came to the shrine every day to confess to the chief shrine. ”

According to the shrine's rules, after the shrine maiden is 20 years old and has held positions for more than three years, she can leave the shrine and go home to get married, and then she can enjoy all the benefits of the shrine.

"Tsk, you said that I want to change my career to become a shrine maiden."

Luo Xin sighed.

Since she became a witch, she has never enjoyed the benefits of the witch association, and finally summoned a three-headed dog and died in a duel with the man in the trench coat.

"Is it high to be a shrine maiden?"

"If you are a shrine maiden, you will have about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month, and I haven't turned into an official shrine maiden when I leave the shrine, so I don't know what the treatment of an official shrine maiden is."

"That's just the case for A-class employees!"

Luo Xin looked up at the sky.

"That's right, teacher."

Ikeda Chaoye suddenly remembered something, and said to Gu Yun, "Fernando's current head of the house is a frequent visitor to Inari Shrine, and every once in a while, she will come to the shrine to exchange ideas with the chief shrine to exchange tips on exorcism, and you should be able to find her at the shrine." ”
