Chapter 010. Aggrieved Momotaro
The wild girl on the side of the road gently withdrew from the palace, and there was still a little respect on her solemn face.
This is the most solemn place in Minamisa Castle.
Next to the palace.
It is the castle tower honmaru that represents the daimyō.
On weekdays, his status is equal to that of the center of Chino Country, and it is a symbol of honor to rule this place.
This majestic conjoined building was the last position in wartime, and when the enemy broke through the castle town, they plundered only some of their belongings and the inhabitants who had not had time to flee, but did not do much harm to the ruler of the country himself.
If you want to really attack Nansa Castle, which was built by digging mountains, you will have to suffer heavy casualties.
Even if you capture the Sanmaru Fortress built at a dangerous place under the mountainside.
The towering Nimaru Seki Tower on the mountainside is still there.
Not to mention the mountain tops.
There is also the Imperial Hall and the castle tower, which is built in the shape of a fortress next to it, as the center of defense.
This is a world similar to the Warring States period in Japan in the previous life, but the details are also slightly different, and in terms of military defense, because the existence of this world is more strange and terrifying, it is more cautious and vigilant.
It is not uncommon for some arrogant daimyo to be deceived by youkai and thus lead to the destruction of the country.
Of course, these have nothing to do with the current roadside wild girls for the time being.
Outside the palace.
The feet with sock cloth are put back on the geta.
A sturdy manservant next to him tried to come and serve, but he waved his hand and refused a few steps away.
It's just a clog, and even if you come to this world, you can become a child who can do this little thing by yourself, and you won't let those slaves who are waiting at any time come to help.
Self-reliance is king, and blindly relying on others will lead to a difficult conclusion.
There is a sense of crisis in the heart of the wild girl on the side of the road.
He needs to develop as soon as possible.
The clogs under his feet made a slight noise against the timber-paved floor.
The cloister that sheltered from the wind and snow was built along the main hall and castle tower of Honmaru to the residence hall and the Seki Tower of Nimaru, which were mostly the places where members of the roadside family lived, and were one in an administrative and military sense.
Honmaru is the residence of the suzerain and the elders of the powerful family, and Nimaru is the residence of the members of the roadside family.
As for the bottom end of the three pills, most of them are elite ashigaru.
After all, Nansa Castle is said to be a castle, but in fact it is a fortress specially built on a mountain.
The military significance is greater than the administrative significance, and is greater than the economic significance, after all, the fangs and bazaars that are mainly economical, as well as the corresponding entertainment areas such as liquor stores and hotels, are all planned outside the city close to the bottom of the mountain.
It is the town of Joshita, which is economically developed, and it is a place where ordinary people live and live.
The wild girls on the side of the road used to relax in their spare time.
Only in the future.
Obviously, there will be fewer opportunities to go to the castle town of Nansa Castle to relax.
After all, he was going to Bafan Mountain.
than relaxing.
It is still important to build a ninja village.
The wild girl on the side of the road shook her head, but still cheered up and walked forward quickly.
Walking along the cloister to Nimaru, passing through several detached courtyards, there are elite ashigaru standing guard with spears at the door, wearing an iron helmet to protect from rain and sun, and wearing black iron armor, looking at it is full of energy.
These ashigaru are also their own families, and they are separated by distant bloodlines, so they are not qualified to become samurai.
That's why he served as a guard at the gate.
But no matter what, being able to serve as an ashigaru guard in Nansa Castle is a lot of money every month.
In addition, when the weather is cold or the heat is unbearable, there is also the winter money and summer money specially allocated by the family, which is not only half better than those in the castle towns or local strongholds, and the ashigaru recruited by farmers.
It's just that the number of these guns is a bit too much, and there are a lot of bowsaki on the Ermaru Seki Tower.
Plus heavily armed samurai patrol the area.
Guards are tighter than ever.
"Just in case?"
The wild girl on the side of the road knows it in her heart.
These preparations are all to prevent the yokai, that is, his mother clan.
Thinking about the amount of information learned today, the corners of the wild girl on the side of the road couldn't help but smile a little bitterly: "It seems that it's still my problem?" In short, it's really related to him!
The castle tower where the demon clan came to the human daimyo, even the concrete Safan is unprecedented.
But it's also a matter of every way.
And so it is.
In this case, it can only be done on a special basis.
After all, the body of the wild girl on the side of the road is not only the blood of the royal family of the monster, but also the blood of their roadside family, even if there is a big grievance and hatred, the two sides should still talk.
Besides, his father and mother willingly gave up their lives for the sake of this child!
The detailed plot roadside wild girl doesn't know.
But with just a few words, he could still guess.
The combination of the sons of the human daimyo and the princess of the youkai royal clan is completely reflected in the essential difference compared to the combination of those mountain village husbands and ordinary ignorant monsters, and it cannot be compared at all.
But perhaps it is precisely because of this that the two sides chose to negotiate secretly.
Just arrived at the gate of the small courtyard.
The wild girl on the side of the road found a chubby figure standing there in front of the door.
Standing in front of the door, it seemed to block the entire small door, and when I saw him come back from a distance, the chubby figure suddenly felt a shock on the soles of his feet, making the sturdy body of almost 400 pounds rush over like a tumbling: "Wild girl!"
There were tears in his eyes that were pinched by the fat meat: "You're back!"
"Uh..."
The corner of the wild girl's eyes twitched on the side of the road: "I'm back." ”
He pushed away the flesh-like body in front of him, and wiped off the fat stained with his palms a little helplessly: "I said not to make such a contrived expression every time, it really makes me unacceptable, okay?"
This young man who was so strong that he was exaggerated was the family's assigned servant to him, called Momotaro on the side of the road.
It is a remote branch of the roadside family.
Although he looks strong, his actual age is only 17 years old.
Well.
It's true that it's 1 year older than the wild girl on the side of the road.
It is said that when Momotaro was 12 years old, the whole family finally couldn't feed his growing appetite, and finally had to tearfully ask the family elders to let him come to Nansa Castle to make a living.
Originally, the elders of the roadside family thought that he was an alternative genius, and he wanted to explore his potential and cultivate it carefully.
Just tested......
This roadside Momotaro is really just edible.
The veteran in charge of the test finally found that he had gone from strength to physical strength, then physical foundation, and then to the most important perception of the 'power of the Dao', and finally found that he had looked away and recruited a foodie to Nanzuo City!
At that time, I wanted to kick this disappointing foodie away directly, out of sight and out of mind.
In the end, it was the wild girl on the side of the road who saw him pitifully and stayed.
Five years have passed in a blink of an eye.
This roadside Momotaro has finally grown from 260 pounds when he was 12 years old to a terrifying weight of 380 pounds now.
If you could lose weight and become a normal person in a previous life, or practice sumo wrestling with your physical advantages, you can become a good sumo wrestler with a little training, but now you can only become a useless foodie.
There's no way, in this world full of monsters and ghosts, even if you weigh 380 kilograms, you're just an ordinary person.
It might be a bit of a deterrent to deal with a few bandits, thieves and the like.
But dealing with youkai and ghosts?
It is estimated that you will be directly killed by those terrifying things, playing to death!
Monsters have powerful demon power, and ghosts also have strange soul power, and the only ones who can resist these are the 'Dao power' cultivated by humans, otherwise they can only die a tragic death when they encounter their final fate.
So ordinary people have almost no ability to resist monsters and ghosts.
Only samurai can do it!
A samurai is a powerful being who cultivates the power of debut.
For example, the most common samurai, spear samurai, and big bow samurai, although they are only different in name compared to ashigaru, in fact, these samurai all have their own cultivation - Tao.
Kendo.
Gun course.
Kyudo.
The roadside house is the kendo samurai school.
The sword path of the air stream, not to mention in the country of Qianye, even if it is famous in the concrete Safandu.
It is said that the current suzerain of the roadside family, Lubian Masao, was once qualified to become a stronger great man, and was named a great sword hero, but for some reason it was canceled more than ten years ago, and in the end it was still only the name of the sword hero.
News of specific matters was blocked, and no one except a few people knew the real reason.
People don't dare to discuss the private affairs of the famous people at will.
The news didn't spread.
"Come into the house and say."
The wild girl on the side of the road didn't entangle with Momotaro outside.
For his own follower, he has a clear understanding of the past 5 years, and he eats and drinks the most on weekdays, but when he encounters something, he is often at the end, and he is still pushed back to do something.
If it weren't for the wild girl on the side of the road who had three views in her previous life, it is estimated that such a follower would have been kicked away a long time ago.
Don't look at this guy with tears in his eyes right now.
It is estimated that it is also a play.
Walking into his small courtyard, the wild girl on the side of the road glanced at him and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Seeing that his performance didn't work, Momotaro also asked in a low voice with a straight face: "Young Master Wild Girl, I heard the samurai who came down before talking about it, this coming-of-age ceremony... A little bit of a setback?"
The wild girl on the side of the road raised her eyelids: "Your news is very bright?"
Momotaro sneered: "I heard that!"
But he immediately swallowed and spit, and even bent his back with a chubby voice, and his fat face leaned over and asked in a low voice: "But the sect master also gave you a fief of 500 stones, and plans to canonize you as a royal family?"
The wild girl on the side of the road frowned and said, "That's right, that's the case, what's wrong?"
He thinks this guy knows a little too much.
But Momotaro didn't notice.
On the contrary, the fat fat face still had a worried look: "This is a fiefdom of 500 stones!?"
Thinking that the branch of the family to which he belonged did not have 500 stone of cultivated land, his tone was aggrieved and worthless: "The place of the entire Qianye Country is so big, why did you choose the ghost place of Bafan Mountain?!"
The wild girl on the side of the road snorted coldly: "If you don't choose Bafan Mountain, do you still choose Bird Lin Mountain?"
Momotaro suddenly cried and tried to justify: "It's not..."
"What's not?"
The wild girl on the side of the road didn't continue to ramble: "Go and prepare a carriage for me now!"
After a little groaning, he seriously told Momotaro: "Then go to the castle town to buy some daily necessities, and we will prepare to leave at dawn tomorrow, it's best not to delay things for me!"
