Chapter 22: The Undercurrent Surges

Wakayamaba rushed to the vicinity of Kyoto, and without stopping too much, he went directly to the camp outside the castle.

Most exorcists operate there, and they are not allowed to have their gathering place in the city.

First, because they are a threat to the ordinary people in the city, if they don't have the knowledge to operate such a thing, they are likely to kill or curse the person who picks it up.

The second is that in case of a monster attack, the exorcist can dispose of them in the outer layer.

The third is that most of the exorcists are untouchables or official slaves, and most of the acropolis are inhabited by nobles, and the nobles will not allow slaves to live the same life with them. So even if there are exorcists in the city, they are all nobles or nobles.

When we got to the camp, it looked like a mix of a small camp and a bazaar. There are vendors selling magic weapons and medicines, exorcists patrolling, and exorcists looking for commissions or waiting for commissions to come to your door.

Wakayama didn't have the time to shop around now, so he declined the vendor's offer and went straight to the center of the camp.

The center of the camp was surrounded by hundreds of runestones written in some kind of red blood, something akin to enchantment and detection. There are several log houses inside, not like the simple thatched huts around, or even tents.

He didn't care too much, and just stretched out his feet and collapsed in. It didn't matter if the foot of the mountain landed, the red rune stone immediately shone brightly.

Seeing the light of the stone, all the exorcists around took out their weapons and magic weapons, and aimed at Wakayama Feathers straddling both sides.

Farther away, everyone watched as if they were watching some kind of joke.

"Wait! I'm Yu from Izumo, my master is Ruoshan, my master is Jun me, and my master is Luo Ran! ”

He seemed to know that he had done something stupid, and in order to make up for it, he had to call out his name and origin.

But the group on the other side ignored him at all, still holding the weapon in his hand at Ruoshan.

The two sides are at a stalemate, and Wakayama even has an archer behind him, ready to shoot long arrows at any moment.

He was really anxious, he didn't know what to do, and he began to think about whether he should grit his teeth and kneel; If this doesn't work, how can you get out?

Damn it!

Sweat had already oozed from his forehead, but the atmosphere was so solid that the sweat could not be left.

"Poof...... Poofha! ”

The laughter that came from nowhere, it seemed that it had been endured for a long time.

With this smile, all the people around them who raised their weapons laughed, as if they had seen a big joke, and they laughed forward and backwards, and they had the momentum of laughing at the high heavens.

"What's going on?"

Jump!

The sound of the bowstring suddenly loosening made all of Wakayamaha's hairs stand on end. He immediately drew the long knife that was strapped to his waist, ready to cut down the feathered arrows that were coming at him.

It's strange that there is no sound of feathers crossing the air.

"Huh?"

He looked around with his long knife, not finding anything he didn't want to see.

Some of them stopped laughing and put on appreciative expressions.

"Wakayama? Have you heard of this man? ”

"Jun, I know, my lord, it's my master's junior brother."

"There is a good apprentice."

Several exorcists had already retrieved their weapons and started chatting about Wakayama's qualifications.

"What are you guys making a fuss about?"

Two people walked out of the building in the rune stone, one was an old man full of spirit, he stared angrily at the noisy crowd here, his twisted beard shaking with his lips as he spoke.

The old man did not carry a weapon, but he gave people a strong sense of oppression. The young man behind him didn't look at it, staring at the people around him, as if he hadn't received the influence of the old man.

"Immortal Ancestor."

"Lord Sixian."

As soon as the old man came out, everyone collectively saluted the old man. Wakayama saw the movements of the people around him, and hurriedly saluted with them.

"What are you doing? As an exorcist, you don't want to destroy youkai, but you're here to play tricks on juniors?

Not guarding the camp, but here? The old man asks you, is your own happiness more than the lives of others?

I don't care what kind of aristocrat you are, or what kind of exorcist family you are, even if you are three generations higher than me, when you get here, you will follow the rules for me! If you don't follow the rules, the old man will treat you personally! ”

The old man named Si Xian ignored them and just scolded them loudly. The people around him didn't say a word, just silently listened to the old man's reprimand.

Wakayama listened honestly, as if he had made a mistake.

The old man seemed to be getting angrier and angrier the more he scolded, and he almost grabbed his arm and hit someone, when the young man who had been standing behind grabbed Si Xian and said without emotion:

"Si Xian, calm down, that hairy boy seems to have something to do with us."

Compared with Si Xian's passion, the young man was as cold as death, even if the sky fell, there would be no waves in his heart.

He looked about the same as the young man in the camp, very ordinary and very young. But his hair is the same as that of the old man, and he is gray-haired.

But judging from the tone and attitude of his speech, he seems to be less than Si Xian.

When Si Xian heard this, he also cursed a few words casually, warned them, and let these people leave.

"Are you a disciple of Wakakayama?"

The strange "young man" asked, and Wakayama nodded.

"Come in with us."

Si Xian didn't know what to say, and the rune darkened, and the three of them walked into the house. The room was rudimentary, with only a few tables, a lamp with some kind of luminous object, and a rudimentary map of Yamato.

The old man also dispensed with those polite words, and said directly:

"I know you're in a hurry, otherwise you wouldn't have left this barrier stone alone, so let's talk about it."

"Yes, sir."

Wakayama also knew not to talk nonsense, so he succinctly said the news that Iyo Island would be attacked by youkai, and specifically said that it was news from Alice.

After hearing this, the old man's already frowning brows shrank even more, and the young man did not speak, but opened his eyes a little.

"Wei, what do you think?"

Si Xian asked the young man, but the guard did not speak, returned to the map and observed for a while, and then said:

"Sure enough, it's no wonder that the demonic power has not been normal recently... I thought it was a new big monster that appeared in a row, but I didn't expect... I don't hide my intentions.

How long has it taken for this news to reach you? How long have you been delayed on the road?"

Wei was talking to himself before, and the following sentence was asking respectfully, waiting for the seniors' inquiries.

"It was from Alice, she only got the news recently, and it took me more than a week to get here."

After Wei listened, his expressionless face finally changed a little, but it was only a small one.

"It takes time for the monsters to assemble, and if I'm not mistaken, they were planned about three to six months ago, but they're too busy now to finally show their feet.

Sixian, I'll contact the official family immediately, you quickly gather some people and go to Iyo Island to take precautions. ”

"What if they attack the Acropolis of?"

"Contact fellow exorcists in other places, if you want to come over and help, you are naturally welcome!"

The situation was critical, and the conversation between the two was as concise and rough as possible, and after discussing it, Wei immediately went out to find the official's house.

Si Xian asked Ruoshan Yu to wait first, and asked solemnly:

"You are a disciple of Ruoshan, so how is Senior Brother Haoran?"

It seems that Si Xian's senior brother is Ruoshan Yu's Taishi Ancestor, so in terms of generation, this person is the same generation as Yu's Taishi Ancestor.

Yu naturally figured out the relationship inside, and had to answer:

"The Taishi Ancestor has passed away."

"Is it..."

There was no sadness, no movement, just a pause in his tone, and then he continued.

"How did Senior Brother go?"

"Taishi Zu is very natural, and there is no sound left."

"Hmm..."

The two were silent, Si Xian was silent, and Ruoshan Yu, who had not received the news that he was allowed to leave, also stood there silently.

Halfway, the old man spoke.

"Would you like to come over to Alice?"

"I'm afraid not, Si Xiantai Ancestor.

She didn't seem to be in a hurry to report the news to the Acropolis, so she was naturally not interested in this matter. ”

"Hmm... It doesn't matter. Yu, would you like to bring some fellow practitioners to help us clean up the youkai on Iyo Island? I don't force it. ”

"Although they would have been paid before, but now that the situation is urgent, I don't care so much about it for now. Now, it's important to be subordinate to the people. ”

"yes, then you're going to recruit people too, and you'll have to be back here in sixty days, understand?"

The old man didn't seem to be satisfied with his previous words, but he didn't show it, and just asked Wakayama to leave here.

The latter didn't care about that, and left the place.

…..

……

……

"I said, I'm not interested."

Yuka looked at the minotaur on the opposite side coldly, and this time she didn't even show a smile, it seemed that she was very dissatisfied with the repeated invitations.

The minotaur was three meters tall, its muscles throbbing with its breath, and it carried a large stone axe with a blighted stone axe on its back, which was crudely embedded with dense pieces of iron.

"The wind is fragrant, we have come to invite you again and again, don't you know what to do!"

It was dissatisfied, and its nostrils were squeezing harshly.

"Maruli, you go and tell that vixen, I said not to go, that is not to go. If you bother me again, kill one more! ”

"You!"

Maru trembled with strength, but he didn't dare to do anything more. Don't look at its height, I feel the pressure on my body, in fact, this is just an ordinary monster. It's okay to scare and scare ordinary humans, but it's beyond your power to deal with the strong.

“… If you don't leave, do you want to make flower fertilizer? ”

Yuka didn't talk nonsense, she stood up directly, picked up a branch and prepared to cast a magic cannon.

Seeing this, Maruli ran away.

Yuka didn't bother to chase after it, but just watched it run away with a cold eye.

“… I'll believe you once, if it's not that the strong are too strong, I really want to go in and take a kick.

However, there is less fun to fight, and I will have to find out somewhere else. ”

Unhappy, she threw down the branch and turned and walked back to the flower field.
