Chapter 1130: Inheritance
Everyone present knew that as long as the samurai faction controlled the city area of Nagoya, then the entire Nagoya city circle was basically in the pocket of the samurai faction... As long as there are no surprises.
"Regarding why the public faction suddenly chose to evacuate the city, we also sent a lot of people to investigate the situation, and even launched a lot of high-level eyeliner for this, but unfortunately there was still nothing, so the above decided to release a special task, that is, to find out what kind of medicine the public faction sells in the gourd, this special task will have a very good basic reward, and it will also add rewards according to the results of the investigation, so friends who are confident in collecting intelligence can prepare."
When Momota said this, he took a few steps back and let a man who looked to be about thirty years old stand up, "Hello everyone, I believe everyone should know who I am, right?" So I won't introduce myself here; The main reason why I'm here this time is because Mr. Shimazu Nakano heard that you have taken over the city of Nagoya, so he asked me to bring you a reward. ”
"This person is Shimazu Nagano, his current identity is a spokesman for the samurai faction, and he looks like an ordinary person like Shimazu Hiromichi, but there are rumors that Shimazu Nagano has received professional training since he was a child, and he still has a hand in dealing with ghouls and deep divers." Yin En said in a low voice: "Although the major families of the island country will have some friendship with the mythical creatures on their own territory, they also know that there is a saying called non-our race, and their hearts must be different, so some capable families will arrange for some children to learn how to deal with mythical creatures from an early age, and mainly use cold weapons, because for a person who has received professional training, cold weapons are much better than firearms." ”
Liu Xing nodded, and said with a smile: "I think this is also normal, after all, as long as there is a family with a little sense of crisis, they all know that those mythical creatures are not easy to deal with, in case one day they turn their faces, then they will become a piece of meat on the chopping board, at most even pork ribs, so you have to prepare more hole cards for yourself, but this Shimazu Nagano doesn't seem to want to be the kind of person who has been trained for a long time." ”
The reason why Liu Xing said this is because Shimazu Nagano looks on the thin side, unlike the kind of person who can use cold weapons to deal with mythical creatures in Liu Xing's impression.
"This is the special thing about Shimazu Nagano, because most people who have received professional training will choose to use the sword as their main weapon, one is easy to carry, and the other is that the attack surface of the sword is larger, and the higher the possibility of being able to cause damage to mythical creatures, but Shimazu Nagano did not choose to become a popular warrior, but became an assassin, because the Shimazu family obtained some excellent quality ores a long time ago, but the amount of these ores is too small, Therefore, the Shimazu family had to choose to make these ores into Hidden Blades and crossbows, and coated these hidden blades and crossbows with poison that sealed their throats with blood, so this set of equipment has always been used by ninjas who are loyal to the Shimazu family. Yin Eun spoke.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but look at Shimazu Nagano again, but he still didn't see anything.
However, for a ninja to be able to behave like an ordinary person in normal times, it takes a lot of practice, so this is equivalent to proving the strength of Shimazu Nagano.
"It seems that this Shimazu Nagano should be Shimazu Nagano's personal bodyguard, after all, during the Warring States Period, there were many ninjas who never participated in external operations, but have been secretly guarding their lords, but I have a question that I want to know the answer to, that is, why did Shimazu Nagano's father give his son such a name? Could it be that the Shimazu family is so open-minded that they don't have to avoid the patriarch of Shimazu Nakano? ”
Zhang Jingxu, who was sitting behind Liu Xing, continued: "The island country has always been deeply influenced by Chinese culture, so it stands to reason that Shimazu Nagano's father should deliberately avoid the word 'Nakano' in Shimazu Nagano, instead of letting his son be called 'Nagano' to suppress 'Nakano'. But I looked up the news and found that there was not even a small rumor about it. ”
Liu Xing was very interested in this.
Because a big family like the Shimazu family, which has lasted for hundreds of years in the island country, its members must be able to read and write Chinese characters, but in the history of the island country, there have also been many famous evasion and name change events, such as Tao Jingxian, who once single-handedly collapsed the good situation of the Ouchi family and the Tao family, the original name was called Tao Longfang, and the head of the Ouchi family at that time was called Ouchi Yoshitaka, so Tao Longfang changed his name to Tao Jingxian in order to avoid his lord.
Therefore, it stands to reason that the name Shimazu Nagano must not appear in Shimazu Nakano's nephews, because the word "long" obviously suppresses the word "medium", so how can a nephew take this name?
"I do know some gossip about this, because I have met ninjas in island countries when I was working in the island country before, and I am quite compatible with several of them, so after becoming friends, I heard a lot of interesting stories about island ninjas from them, such as the name Shimazu Nagano is actually a heritage name, which involves a tradition of island countries, that is, there are some industries that will continue certain names as a kind of inheritance from generation to generation, These names are basically from the best people in the industry, or big names who have made it to the beginning of the sect, such as Kabuki, rakugo, and other industries in the island country. ”
"In the relatively closed circle of ninjas in the island country, we often hear about Iga ninjas, and Koga ninjas also have their own inheritance names, such as the most famous ones should be Sarufei and Sasuke; Of course, some big families will also keep the names of some people who have made contributions to the family, and then if someone in the descendants reaches the same height as them, then this person will inherit the name, and in the history of the Shimazu family, there is a ninja named Nagano, who has followed Shimazu Yoshihisa all his life, so 'Nagano' has become the name of the chief ninja of the Shimazu family, so it is not surprising that Shimazu Nagano can inherit this name, after all, this is a rule passed down from the ancestors, and Shimazu Nakano is not easy to say. Shi Zixuan interjected.
Liu Xing nodded as if he didn't understand, and said: "I see, when I used to watch variety shows and TV dramas in the island country, I often saw some very strange and very long names, so I also checked what the origin of these people was, and then I found that they are all the stage names that have been passed down by some big families in the traditional arts of the island country - rakugo, Noh opera, kabuki and other industries, and they are also a symbol of their status, but I didn't expect ninjas to do this." ”
Shi Zixuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Not only that, some Onmyoji families will also split the names of their ancestors and pass them on, for example, the current Abe family will pass on the word 'Ming' to the head of the family, so if we meet an Onmyoji named Abe in the future, then it is certain that he is the current head or former head of the Abe family, as for ' The word 'eye' will be passed on to the most outstanding talents among the children, so if we meet an onmyoji named Abe Haru, then we can know that he is the thigh we have to hold tightly. ”
"Of course, such a situation exists in many countries in this world, for example, Westerners often pass on their names to their children, so there will be a situation where three generations of grandparents are called the same name, especially some royal families may have passed on a name for more than ten generations, such as the Ferdinand family of France passed on the name Louis for sixteen generations, if Louis XVI was not sent to the guillotine, maybe now we will also hear Louis XXI such a somewhat tongue-twisting name."
"When it comes to why Westerners inherit their names, I remember that another important reason is that their names represent their professions, so in that era when sons inherited their father's business, it was normal for sons to inherit their father's name, which is equivalent to our side like to call Zhang Blacksmith, Liu Carpenter and so on." Zhang Jingxu touched his chin and said, "But it's quite convenient, just by looking at the name, you can know what this person is." ”
As soon as Zhang Jingxu's words fell, he saw some black-clothed people holding a stack of boxes suddenly appear around him, and handed these boxes to everyone one by one.
It seems that this is the reward in the mouth of Shimazu Nagano.
After Liu Xing took the box, he said with great interest: "What do you say is in this box?" It can't be a mobile phone or something, right? ”
"How can it be a mobile phone, we are not the company to give out prizes at the annual meeting, and the person who can sit here, that is the master who will lack a mobile phone? Therefore, unless Shimazu Nakano really has a convulsion, it is impossible to take mobile phones, jewelry or other mass goods as rewards; But then again, for those of us, it's really hard to give out rewards like this that everyone has a share, after all, there are so few things to choose from, and the cost is not easy to control. Yin Eun shook the box and said.
Liu Xingshen nodded approvingly: "Yes, we people must not lack those things outside the body, so only magic props are what we want, but there are not many magic props that can be mass-produced, and more than fifty percent of these magic props can be perfectly replaced by modern technology products, such as flashlights or something can beat those lighting magic props, and all kinds of firearms can completely explode those magic props with attack spells; As for the remaining 50 percent, you have to consider the cost, after all, the materials used to make magic props are not ordinary, and some materials are not something that can be bought with money, so Shimazu Nakano wants to rely on these rewards to buy people's hearts, and it is very likely that it will be self-defeating, losing his wife and losing his army. ”
Liu Xing said as he wanted to open the box, but Liu Xing fumbled for a while before he realized that he didn't know how to open the box.
To put it simply, although this box looks like a very common box with a lid without a lock, but because its lid is tightly sealed, let alone Liu Xing's nails, even the blade that Li Hanxing took out can't play a role at all.
As for holding the box and throwing it up and down a few times, it has no effect at all.
So, what kind of reward is this?
Just when Liu Xing was about to complain that Shimazu Nakano wanted to play tricks this time, Shimazu Nagano opened his mouth and said: "I believe everyone should have discovered that this box can't be opened by conventional means, right?" That's right, these boxes are actually rewards, because these boxes are made by mixing multiple materials through a special process, and then processing them into this shape through the same special means, so if you don't know the correct way to open this box, then unless it is a boss-level mythical creature, or an Isis with black technology, no one and mythical creatures can open this box through abnormal means! ”
Hearing Shimazu Nagano say this, Liu Xingcai noticed that the material of this box was indeed a little special, at first glance it seemed to be a very ordinary wooden box, but as long as you used force, you would find that the strength of this box was much higher than expected.
What's more, the flexibility of this box is also very strong, because Liu Xing saw a passer-by next to him take out a dagger that was not an ordinary commodity at first glance and gave the box a hard blow, but the box did not make a sound of gold and iron as Liu Xing imagined, and then let the dagger not enter the proportion, or even directly break the tip of the knife, but like a piece of marshmallow, the dagger fell into it, and then quickly bounced away.
But the most important thing is that the length of the dagger stuck in the box is obviously greater than the thickness of the box, which means that this box has a black technology such as folding space in addition to its strong sealing ability.
Could it be that this is the space equipment that every protagonist at a certain point in the legend should have?
However, this box is larger than Liu Xing's palm, and it doesn't look suitable for carrying around.
Shimazu Nagano was also happy to let the people present "study" how to open the box in an abnormal way, so he didn't rush to say anything, just stood there with a smile.
A few minutes passed like this, and no one present opened the box in their hands.
Seeing this, Shimazu Nagano spoke: "Actually, it is very simple to open this box, you just need to say a string of numbers on the top of this box. ”
At this time, those men in black handed over a small note with numbers written on it to Liu Xing and the others.
