"Fack!"

I couldn't help but scold: "I really shouldn't trust those outsiders!" ”

"Outsiders? Who? Konoe Liang frowned and said, "Didn't the people of the Ichijo family make you do this?" ”

Ichijo looked at Konoe Ryo with a puzzled expression, and after hesitating for a moment, he said seriously: "No, it's a deep diving club, to be exact, it should be the headquarters of the deep diving club of the universe country." ”

Hearing me say this, the doubts on Konoe Ryū's face became even more, "What, how can it be a deep diving meeting?" Although they have a branch in the island country, I heard that the relationship between the branch and the headquarters is not good, so the branch did not obey the arrangement of the headquarters in the battle of public arms, and the headquarters cannot take the branch what to do; But the most important thing is that a powerful foreign force like the Deep Diver Headquarters should not, or rather, not be able to join the battle of public arms, right? ”

"Perhaps, it stands to reason that it is indeed impossible for the headquarters of the Deep Diving Club to join the battle of public arms, after all, they have now taken the space country, and it is impossible for us to let them attack the island country again, so the headquarters of the Deep Diving Club is an island country that came as foreign aid; However, it is interesting to note that it is the Eagle Falcon family that guarantors the headquarters of the Deep Diving Club. Ichijo said seriously.

"The Eagle Family?"

Konoe Liang frowned and said, "Why did they come out at this time?" Could it be that the royal family also intends to intervene in the battle of the public army? That's impossible, the royal family hasn't done it for thousands of years. ”

"Yes, the Eagle Falcon family is the only designated lackey of the royal family, and everything they do is under the orders of the royal family, including life; Therefore, the Eagle Falcon family vouched for the headquarters of the Deep Diving Club, and no matter how you think about this matter, it is the royal family behind the instructions. Ichijomasa sighed and continued: "In this way, this matter becomes very interesting, just like Mr. Konoe, you said, the royal family has not been active for a long time, and of course, it is even more meaningful, the royal family will support the headquarters of the Deep Diving Association from the Universe Country. ”

Konoe Ryo nodded, and didn't say much, just leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, and began to close his eyes and meditate, while Ichijo Masashi was the same, with his eyes closed and not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Konoe Ryo opened his eyes and said, "The reason why I am so surprised is because among the prohibitions that the royal family and our five families must abide by, one of the most important items is the prohibition of collusion with foreign forces. ”

"Fack!"

I couldn't help but curse again, "It seems that they want me to die directly, and they want me to make two mistakes in a row; However, if the royal family lets the Eagle Falcon family do these things for them, then the royal family will not be affected, right? ”

Konoe Ryo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "That's right, how do you think the Eagle Hayabusa family, as the lackey of the royal family, will be allowed to set up their own family?" You must know that if the dog is not kept in his own home, it will be wild sooner or later, just like more than a hundred years ago, the head of the Eagle Falcon family led some people to prepare to betray the royal family, but it didn't take long for the royal family to kill them; So I'm right, don't really think that the royal family is as harmless as he seems to be, you must know that they have a lot of hole cards in their hands, and there are many mythical creatures that have left their names in history after they disappeared and joined the dark part of the royal family. ”

"The name of the dark part sounds quite middle-class, but this organization was founded by Emperor Jimmu, because after he realized that he had triggered the curse of the ancient god, his descendants would one day be unfamiliar to everyone, or even inferior to ordinary people, so he prepared the organization of the dark department to escort his descendants, so at the last moment of his life, Emperor Jimmu began to choose those suitable mythical creatures all over the island country, after all, people's hearts are fickle, even if you can let a master work for you, but his son, His grandsons are not necessarily the same, especially when they are not weak. ”

"So the mythical creatures selected by Emperor Jimmu are powerful, but it is unlikely to give birth to the existence of offspring, and then use spells to force them to become members of the dark department to serve the royal family, so after so many years of precipitation, the dark department can already be said to be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and it is not inferior to all the secret churches in the island country, which is why the royal family has been able to exist for so long; However, the most interesting point of this dark department is the three chapters of the covenant - first, the members of the dark department only defend and do not attack, which means that the dark department is only responsible for protecting the royal family, but will not follow the royal family's orders to attack a certain force. ”

"Second, the success of the dark department will only make a move once, and after the shot, the members of the dark department will regain their freedom and come and go freely, which is also the reason why every once in a while, one or two mythical creatures that have disappeared for dozens or hundreds of years suddenly appear; Third, and most importantly, after the members of the dark department leave the royal family, they can ask the royal family to do something for them in turn, for example, more than three hundred years ago, there was a six-tailed demon fox who asked the royal family to prepare a heavenly treasure for her when she left the royal family, helping her successfully break through to the nine-tails. ”

After listening to Ryo Konoe's description of the dark department, Ichijo Masashi couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that the strength of our ancestor is not as strong as the myth says, this is not so much to coerce those mythical creatures to join the dark department, but rather that he has reached a cooperation with those mythical creatures, hired the other party to protect his offspring, and then let his descendants pay each other; So the question is, are our ancestors still alive now? As the messenger of the ancient gods, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to live for thousands of years, right? ”

Konoe Liang shook his head and said with great certainty: "Emperor Jimmu is dead, but he is not completely dead, and he is now in a very delicate state, simply put, his fate hangs by a thread, and he can be resurrected if he takes a step back, and he will die without a corpse if he takes a step back, so the royal family has actually been collecting all kinds of treasures to resurrect Emperor Jimmu, but unfortunately the result is still useless... However, as a descendant of Emperor Jimmu, I have to say a great rebellion here, that is, if Emperor Jimmu is really dead, then our descendants will no longer need to suffer from those curses! ”

Hearing this, Ichijomasa's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said, "Oh, in this case, in fact, all the curses exist in Emperor Jimmu's body, and we are just his descendants and forced to accept some curse fragments that flowed from Emperor Jimmu's body?" ”

"That's right!"

Konoe Liang said very seriously: "My brother has specially investigated this matter, and he found that the curse of the year was actually only for Emperor Jimmu and several of his direct descendants, and after the death of those direct descendants, none of their children inherited the curse, simply put, there was only one cursed person left back then, that is, Emperor Jimmu; However, after a period of time, those who were not originally cursed suddenly showed that they were cursed, and Emperor Jimmu, who was already unable to move an inch, was able to go out for a while at this time. ”

"Wang Defa?!"

Ichijomasa couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth again, "In this case, Emperor Jimmu divided a part of the curse on his body to his descendants in exchange for his own freedom?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, since then, our ancestors have been constantly sharing the curse for Emperor Jimmu, barely maintaining a balance, but in the later period of confrontation between the East and the West, one side ran out and did some death in order to prove that he was the real emperor, causing the total amount of curses to reach a certain threshold, and as a result, Emperor Jimmu died because of this, but everything about him has been linked to our descendants, so if we don't die, then he won't really die."

Now, I don't even want to swear, because he feels that scolding his ancestor is no longer enough to relieve his anger.

"However, after the death of Emperor Jimmu, the total amount of curses has been decreasing, so there is the dilution theory I mentioned earlier." Konoe Ryo sighed, looked at Ichijomasa and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you were approached by the Deep Diving Association headquarters is probably because the royal family is ready to sacrifice you, an unlucky relative who will only disgrace them." ”

"To put it bluntly, it's waste reuse, and let me bear more curses as a bastard."

Ichijo smiled self-deprecatingly and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, there should still be such a conjecture circulating between the royal family and the Five Lords, that is, if the curse on Emperor Jimmu is completely removed, that is, after it is transferred to our descendants, Emperor Jimmu can be resurrected?" ”

"You're right, there is indeed such a saying now, but my brother thinks that the total amount of curses on Emperor Jimmu is too much, so if tens of thousands of people don't come out to bear the curse, then the curse can't be eliminated like this."

Konoe Ryo looked at the hateful Ichijo and said seriously: "It's a pity that the others don't believe my brother's statement, because they are all about to be driven crazy by this incident, after all, no one wants their descendants to inherit the curse on Emperor Jimmu, and they will never be able to see each other again, so I am not exaggerating to say now, if all the children of the royal family and the five families and half of the descendants of the family are killed, in order to consume all the curses on Emperor Jimmu, Then they will not hesitate to agree. ”

Speaking of this, Konoe Ryo lifted his sleeve, pointed to a small cross-shaped scar on the inside of his arm and said: "They did exactly that, I believe there is also such a small scar on your hand, they told you that this small scar is because you are vaccinated with super antibodies specially provided by the royal family and the Five Regents, which can ensure that you are protected from various common diseases, but in fact you are inoculated with a time bomb, as long as you eat the corresponding 'detonator', then you will die directly, there is no room for reversal!" ”

Ichijo quickly pulled up my sleeve, and found that I really had the same scar on my hand, and I remembered that my father seemed to have said the same thing when he was a child.

"This secret is only known to the head of the royal family and the five families and the special elders, so I also told me after my brother became the head of the Konoe family, because he didn't want to be in the same league with those stubborn old guys, but my brother can't change anything, after all, if he doesn't agree to continue to do this in the Konoe family, then he will disappear from the world the next day, and then a shadow warrior will take his place, as for why I told you about this, it's because I think you will be your own person, After all, the Ichijo family didn't want to recognize you as a person for a long time. ”

I just wanted to laugh, but suddenly thought of something, and looked at Konoe Liang with an incredible face, "Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, Mr. Konoe, your hand stealing the day made me really a little caught off guard, I didn't expect that I was originally looking for you to cooperate, but it turned out that you were looking for me to cooperate." ”

Konoe Liang touched his chin and said with a smile: "I didn't expect me to be seen through by you, it seems that Ichijo is indeed a smart person; That's right, I just want to cooperate with you, or on behalf of my brother, and the content of the cooperation is very simple, that is, to send Emperor Jimmu to the real death! ”

"Let me think again!"

This time, it was the turn of Ichijo to close his eyes and recuperate, while Konoe Ryo picked up his cup and began to drink pure water slowly, but it felt like he was sipping a cup of tea.

After a while, Ichijomasa opened his eyes and said, "Konoe-san, did you think of pulling me into the water because you knew that I couldn't get along with the Ichijo family?" ”

"No, no, no, I just decided to cooperate with you, after all, not everyone can cooperate with our two brothers."

Konoe Liang stared at Ichijo and said very seriously: "In a word, if it was just because you were at odds with the Ichijo family, it would be impossible for us to pull you into the gang, after all, if we really wanted to do this, we would have done it a long time ago, because there is no second person like you in this five-person family; As for why we decided to let you join us now, the main reason is that you are a bit of a brain, and at the same time, you don't have enough respect for our ancestors. ”

"Are you praising me, or are you scolding me?"

Ichijo shook my head and smiled bitterly: "But I have to say, I am very optimistic about your proposal, Mr. Konoe, so I don't mind cooperating with you, but I hope you tell me all the information you know in advance, and don't ask me like now, and you will say a word." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Konoe Ryo stretched out his hand and said, "Then I'll give you another piece of important information now—the sect leader of the Deep Diving Club headquarters doesn't have a surname. ”
