Chapter 1040: The Land of Ghosts
In the Hokage's office, Mizumon was working hard to write the case, while Kushina was carrying documents back and forth, stacks of them on the table, a busy scene.
Knock knock!
"Please come in."
The knock on the door sounded, but the water gate did not raise its head, and when the footsteps approached, Fang stopped the movement in his hand and looked forward, and the surface couldn't help but be stunned.
"Teacher, are you back?"
"Hmm." Lei Luo nodded casually, said hello to Jiu Sinai next to him, sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked Shuimen:
"Tell me, what's going on in the country of ghosts?"
"That's ......"
As if he had been prepared, Shuimen rummaged through the documents for a while, handed a stack of paper materials to Lei Luo, and after the latter took it, he opened his mouth to explain:
"A large number of monsters appeared in the country of ghosts, and under the control of a terrorist named "Yellow Spring", they wantonly killed local civilians, nobles, and officials, causing countless tragedies. ”
"The ruler of the Oni Country, a shrine maiden named Shion, has sent a request for help, asking us Konoha to help clean up the Yellow Spring and the monsters, and help her seal the monster leader, an existence named the Ghost Spirit."
"According to Shion, the power of this ghost is extremely powerful, and if the other party is not sealed in time, the world may be at risk of destruction, so I accepted this commission."
"You want me to help you with this...... Death? Or is it a ghost? ”
Lei Luo asked without raising his head while looking at the information, his face was slightly puzzled, and he didn't understand who the enemy was.
Death? Glamorous Spirit? Or both?
"The ghost is lodged in Huangquan's body, Miss Shiyuan's explanation is that these two guys are currently integrated, and theoretically, if you kill one, teacher, it is equivalent to killing both."
"Killing two birds with one stone, that's really easy." Throwing the documents aside, Lei Luo looked at the water gate, his brows furrowed slightly:
"With the power of Konoha, can't this matter be solved?"
Although there was a shame in his heart, Shuimen did not shy away from it, and admitted calmly: "Yes teacher, I have sent several waves of manpower in a row, but they have all collapsed......
"The power of the Ghost Spirit is very special, it can create a kind of puppet that resembles a terracotta army, and it can be repaired automatically after being damaged, and the number is almost endless."
"Similar to the Filthy Earth Reincarnation?"
This analogy is quite apt, Watergate thought of the information collected by his own personnel, stared down, and finally added:
"Miss Shion said that the ghost spirit cannot be killed, it can only be sealed, and the mission of their witch clan from generation to generation is to suppress this monster."
"Immortal?" Lei Luo looked at the water gate with interest, "No attack can cause damage to those puppets and the ghost spirit itself?" ”
"For now, that's right."
After receiving a positive answer, Lei Luo became a little interested in the existence of these monsters, but before accepting the commission, out of caution, he still asked in detail about the incident:
"When did this happen?"
"About a week ago."
"Why are you bothering about the Oni Country?"
"The Charm has shown great aggression and ......"
Noticing that Lei Luo was looking at him playfully, Shuimen paused, smiled helplessly, and said honestly: "The witch gives a lot of money, and it's all hard currency. ”
"Did those monsters show their intention to invade our country?"
"There's a trend, but it's not coming back yet."
"Okay, I see." Lei Luo stood up, "I took this task, in the name of Konoha, the remuneration or everything belongs to you." ”
After getting the teacher's clear promise, Shuimen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Ziyuan is the lord of a country after all, and the money given is really a lot, if not, he doesn't want to trouble the teacher.
"In addition, Linglong's education is for you."
After finishing the matter, Lei Luo talked to Shuimen about Linglong's education in the past few years, and expressed a little gratitude, and Shuimen quickly got up and said that this is all as it should be.
……
A day passed, and the next morning, Linglong said goodbye to her parents and went to meet her team members, while Lei Luo stayed at home, planning to rest for a few days before leaving for the land of ghosts.
For a small border country like the country of ghosts, Lei Luo honestly doesn't care much, because of its geographical location, this country has not been affected by the third ninja war, so it can survive to this day.
If the Oni Country is located in the center of the Ninja Continent, it is likely that they will not be able to wait for the Yellow Springs to rebel and will be swallowed up by the Fire Country.
Therefore, Lei Luo is not in a hurry at all, anyway, it is not a citizen of the Fire Nation who is dead, just take your time.
As for the power of the ghost, although Lei Luo was a little interested, he finally went home, naturally he wanted to accompany his wife and daughter more, even if Linglong is gone now, isn't Guanghui still at home?
After a long absence, looking at his wife who is over thirty years old, but still radiant, Lei Luo couldn't help but move his index finger, and it happened that Guanghui had also been empty for a long time, and he wanted to be dissatisfied, the two didn't say a word, and soon ignited the gun and "fought" in the bedroom.
"Master, ma'am, there's a guest coming!"
But just when Lei Luo Guanghui was in the middle of the battle, a knock on the door sounded, and the voice of the maid Xiaoqiu came from outside the door.
"Let him wait!"
After shouting, he continued to move, Guanghui closed his eyes, his face was confused, as if he didn't notice the movement outside, and found that Lei Luo became more and more fierce, so he twisted his waist vigorously and cooperated with her husband's sprint back and forth.
"Oh...... Well...... A little faster......"
Outside the door, Xiaoqiu withdrew her hand, listened to the princess's faint moan, seemed to have been used to it for a long time, sighed softly, turned around and walked through the corridor, and came to the reception hall directly opposite the courtyard.
"I'm sorry, my master and my wife...... It's busy right now. ”
Bowing to a girl who was kneeling quietly, Xiaoqiu raised her head and looked at the guests without a trace: white hair, purple eyes, beautiful face, wearing pink and white clothes, her expression was quiet and indifferent, and there was an air of dust.
Retracted her gaze and glanced at Xiao Dong in the corner, their eyes met, and the sisters were relieved.
"Really? Then I'll wait. ”
The girl, who is also Lei Luo's employer on this mission, the witch Shion of the Ghost Country, nodded lightly after hearing this, and behaved unhurriedly, secretly in line with aristocratic etiquette, revealing a good family education and cultivation.
But beside Ziyuan, a young man dressed as a servant stood up and said to Xiaoqiu solemnly: "This young lady, please inform Lord Lei Luo that countless people in my country are dying tragically at the hands of monsters at this moment, please ...... him."
"Can you come out quickly and discuss countermeasures with Lord Shion?"
