09 Monster Mountain

"The organization of Yokai Mountain, in terms of the time of its establishment, is no later than the existence of the Daidoin Shogunate, and it is a wizarding organization born at the time of the great success of the Meiji Restoration, which can be regarded as the same era as the Daidoin Shogunate."

Shoma Teramoto said slowly, "However, the style and guidelines of Yokai Mountain are very different from those of the Daidoin Shogunate, for example, the founding principle of the Daishoin Shogunate is to hope that the Japanese magic world can be hidden from mortals...... That is, after the Muggle world, it is also possible to do some cooperation with the Muggle government, but the Japanese Muggles who can really know the existence of the wizarding world are limited to those in the high-ranking positions of the Japanese government. ”

"Yokai Mountain, on the other hand, is trying to restore the era when onmyoji were prevalent in ancient Japan, such as the Edo period, the Kamakura period, or the Sengoku period, when onmyoji were all known to the world and extremely noble, and they could be co-opted by various daimyo and even Sengoku generals, and they belonged to the participants in the competition."

"I have to say that it was indeed an extremely glorious era for the Japanese wizarding world, but if the idea of Yokai Mountain is in the modern situation, it will not be possible to realize it at all, because the exposure of the Japanese wizarding world may expose the wizarding world of the entire world, and it may also cause conflicts and wars between Muggles and wizards in the wizarding world."

"It is precisely with this in mind that the high-level of the Japanese government has focused more on the Daidoin Shogunate in terms of political leanings, you can see that the Daidoin Shogunate and Yokai Mountain are two different magical partisan political organizations established at the same time, with the tendencies of the Japanese government, coupled with the various battles that broke out between the Daidoin Shogunate and Yokai Mountain in the earliest period."

"In addition, a large number of wizards in Japan hate the style of Monster Mountain, after all, if the Daidoin shogunate rules the Japanese magic world, at least it can bring a safer and more comfortable life to Japanese wizards."

"Gradually, Yokai Mountain fell behind in the struggle for power, and in the end, there was only one power left in the Japanese magic world, which was the Daishoin, and Yokai Mountain became more and more ruthless in the process of defeat, and also began to carry out covert activities in the magical world, and the style was almost similar to that of the Death Eaters in Europe."

"So what? Youkai Mountain is also a headache for you now, right? Sherlock said.

"Yes, not only that, but the relationship between the Daoman Codex and the Daikaiin Shogunate is not a secret in terms of the Youkai Mountain established at the same time, after all, at the beginning of the joint establishment of the Daido Shogunate and the Youkai Mountain, the two organizations also cooperated, so both sides decided that it was possible for the Daoman Codex to record the method of breaking the seal of the Demon Gate."

Sherlock nodded, he slowly walked forward in front of the Demon Sealing Gate, stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the thick red rust surface of the Demon Sealing Gate, Sherlock could sense just by putting his hand on it, the Demon Sealing Gate was protected by a very powerful magical force.

And this magical power does not seem to be affected by the passage of time, but is extremely majestic and powerful, and what has been affected by the years is only the appearance of the demon gate, and the inner magic protection and sealing are not weak at all.

"So you're worried that Yokai Mountain will come to the Daido Shogunate to snatch the Daoman Codex during the period when the magic protection of the Daoman Codex is the weakest, and use it to crack the Demon Sealing Gate in Mount Fuji, once the Demon Sealing Gate is cracked, then no matter what was sealed by Abe Harumaki in the first place, it will inevitably cause quite a stir in the Japanese authorities, and it is also very likely that the Japanese magic community will be exposed, and then the Youkai Mountain Organization will also usher in their heyday of development, right!"

Shoma Teramoto nodded, "Yes!" This is exactly what we are worried about, in fact, if the Daoman Codex is not recorded in the Demon Gate to crack the law, we don't mind if it will be a fatal curse, if the Monster Mountain really wants to rob it, it doesn't matter to them. ”

"But the situation is already very serious now, none of us know what is in this codex, and even if the Daoman Codex cracks the magic protection on it, then the secret in it cannot be known by the people of Youkai Mountain, and they have launched a robbery against the Daoman Codex a few days ago, and even sent spies to break into the Shogunate of the Great Dao Courtyard to rob it." ”

Sherlock nodded, it turned out that they had already experienced a precipitous situation where the Codex was plundered by Youkai Mountain.

"In that case, you took me to see the Demon Sealing Gate again, and you also indicated that you want me to study the magic protection on the Daoman Codex, so you want me to break through the magic protection of the Daoman Codex to reveal the real secrets inside!"

Sherlock thought that Shoma Teramoto and Wind Demon Night would nod their heads for a while, and they wanted to urgently know what secret was in the dying letter that Ashiya Michimitsu had written to Abe Harumi himself, and whether it was a way to crack the monster mountain.

But Kazemo Yaichi and Shoma Teramoto shook their heads.

"What is in the codex, as long as it is not known by the Monster Mountain, we will not care too much, and during this time, the Shogunate of the Great Dao Courtyard will increase the manpower to protect the Demon Gate, so even if the Monster Mountain really learns the method of cracking it, to unseal the Demon Gate, our Shogunate of the Great Dao Courtyard will do its best to stop them in front of this iron gate."

Shoma Teramoto handed the Daoman Codex in his hand to Sherlock, "So instead of being kept by the Daidoin Shogunate, this Doman Codex should be handed over to Master Sherlock for you to study and keep." ”

"Me?"

The whereabouts can be stunned, he never expected that the real purpose of coming to Japan was to receive the protection of the Daoman Codex, and Shoma Teramoto put the Daoman Codex in Sherlock's hands very directly, and did not ask Sherlock if he agreed.

The Codex was a rough touch to Sherlock's hands, perhaps made of some kind of animal leather.

Sherlock said indifferently, "What if I refuse, after all, this Daoman Codex can be regarded as a hot potato now, and the Monster Mountain is completely a group of out-and-out madmen in your mouth, and the Daoman Codex is something they are particularly eager to get, this thing is in my hands, won't it bring me unnecessary trouble?" ”

"Haha......... If it were a normal wizard, it was not trouble that mattered, but safety, and all this was nothing more than a trouble in the eyes of you, Sherlock, the famous Prince of Spells. ”
