He hurriedly opened the cuttlefish's mouth, and the object inside was clearly half of the hilt of the sword.

Good fellow, this cuttlefish is so stupid that it swallowed the whole cut in its stomach. No wonder he couldn't find it.

Presumably, when the stream was cut off and sinking, it was seen by this cuttlefish and swallowed in its mouth, which led to the current result.

Zhou Xuan hurriedly pulled the broken stream out of the cuttlefish's mouth and inserted it back into the scabbard on his back.

Finally, the merit was completed, and this trip was not in vain.

There are hundreds of pounds of things on his body, and the speed of floating is much slower, but fortunately, Lizi above has become smarter, and he will help pull the rope these times, which makes his rise speed up a lot.

Back on the boat, he pulled out the broken stream and looked over and over again, as if he was looking at his long-lost brother.

Seeing that he had an extra long knife in his hand, Reiko immediately understood the purpose of his busy work for half a day, and she was happy for him.

It was still early in the morning, and the two of them slowly rocked the oars and returned to the way they came, enjoying the time of roaming freely on the sea.

Especially Zhou Xuan, his mood was very different from when he came, and he actually hummed the tone of Penghu Bay excitedly.

"Big brother, what kind of ballad is this? Listen to it. Reiko said intoxicatedly, but unfortunately Zhou Xuan on the other side couldn't understand and couldn't answer her question.

Xiao Bai flew slowly above the heads of the two, because the boat was too small, and its size was too big, if it also stopped on the ship, it was estimated that it would be in danger of sinking.

Just when the two of them were happily together, Xiaobai in the air suddenly let out a vigilant howl, and looked to the west when he heard the sound.

I saw that more than a dozen black dots appeared on the sea level in the west, and when I got a little closer, I could see clearly that they were more than a dozen troop carriers.

The ships were lined up, each full of heavily armed soldiers, and the total number of men was a thousand.

Zhou Xuan didn't know what the origin of these people was, in order to avoid accidents, he let Xiaobai carry Lizi and fly away, rocking the boat by himself, paying attention to the movements of these people at any time.

As it turned out that he was overthinking, the ships passed by him so fast that the people on them did not even look at him.

The flags on these ships are all blue eagles on a white background, and they can't understand it, and they don't know which force it is.

Since it was a false alarm, he was relieved, and turned out the weapon from the bilge and put it on his back again.

In the evening, the two returned home, and Koji, who had been standing on the beach and was looking forward to it, saw that the two were safe and sound, and waved happily.

"Koji, do you know which force the banner of the blue eagle on a white background represents?"

As soon as he got off the boat, he asked, the fleet just now left a deep impression on him, many of the soldiers on the ship are high-level abilities, and the strength of such an army is really amazing.

"Blue eagle on a white background? That's the people of Chibamon! Why, you met them, and you didn't bother you, did you? ”

Koji smiled and asked with concern.

"That's not true, they seem to have some big action, they have dispatched more than a dozen ships and thousands of people, and most of them are capable people, and they don't know what to do."

"Maybe it's a conflict with the Kimura family, it's nothing surprising, it's all dog eat dog." Koji said nonchalantly.

"Oh?"

Zhou Xuan nodded, and didn't pay much attention to it.

"By the way, those dogs of the Kimura family are here again, saying that if you don't report tomorrow, you will withdraw your previous agreement and no longer provide us with food." Koji added.

"I see." Zhou Xuan responded lightly and led Xiaobai away from home.

The weapon was lost, he couldn't help but find a secluded place, practiced his sword skills for several hours, and then hunted the monster, and had a full meal with Xiaobai.

I went home with Koji at night, planning to meet his grandfather, but unfortunately the timing was not coincidental, Koji's grandfather was better not at home, and he ran away in vain.

After returning, Zhou Xuan rests early, and tomorrow he will report to the Kimura family, and he must be mentally prepared to deal with all the unknown.

The garrison of the Kimura family is in Kochi City, and the Reiko family lives by the sea in Suzaki City, and it is half a day's journey if you walk normally, but there are flying mounts around the circle, and it will take you more than ten minutes.

Kimura Ichiro's mansion is located on Mt. Washio, with a wide view and pleasant scenery from the top of the mountain, garrisoned by more than 1,000 soldiers, and it is only half an hour away from the nearest bay, making it very convenient for both fighting and retreating.

In addition, the bay in front of it is a shallow sea with a depth of less than 10 meters, so large ships cannot enter it at all, and if the enemy lands from elsewhere, this is also the closest land route to Kochi City, which is considered a very important military point, so Kimura Takuichi, the head of the Kimura family, sent his own brother Kimura Ichiro to garrison here.

Of course, there are more than 1,000 people here, and there are nearly 10,000 garrisons under the mountain, which is enough to deal with ordinary emergencies.

Takuichi Kimura is not here, but in Kochi City, the base camp, where the remaining 30,000 troops of the Kimura family are stationed, which is considered the most powerful organization in Ehime, Tokushima, Kagawa and other nearby prefectures.

In fact, the Kimura family has already ruled this island, and other forces are afraid of the strength of the Kimura family, and they have signed an alliance agreement with it, claiming to unite with the outside world and fight together, so this family has completed the rule of this island, and faintly has the strength to compete with several large organizations such as Chiba, Iga, and Haruyama.

Zhou Xuan passed many inspections and finally entered Kimura Ichiro's heavily guarded mansion, but he waited on the steps outside all morning, and he couldn't see Kimura Ichiro's face, on the grounds that there was no suitable translator here, so he waited in vain for a morning, in fact, he was left to dry for a morning.

Zhou Xuan knew that the other party was giving him a horse, although the other party was thirsty for talent, but he dragged on for two days, and he came to report for a long time, and the other party also wanted to give him some color to see and kill his arrogance.

He wasn't annoyed, anyway, he just came to find out, it didn't matter what the other party did to him, he would leave here in a few days.

In the evening, it was finally time for the general person in charge of the place, Ichiro Kimura.

After a long time, Kimura Ichiro was just a thin middle-aged man with two mustaches on his mouth, small but bright eyes, and the whole person didn't look good.

He was followed by a man with glasses, who looked like a middle school teacher.

Sure enough, as soon as this person opened his mouth, he spoke Chinese, and his pronunciation was not even as good as Koji's standard, and it was estimated that he was a Chinese teacher at a nearby school, and he was hired by Kimura Ichiro to act as a translator temporarily.

"Mr. Kiso (Village) said to kill (said), the fly (because) something delayed, so he took his mother (neglected) Your Excellency, and I hope Your Excellency will (forgive)."

The man with glasses choked his neck before he stumbled to translate Kimura's words, and Zhou Xuan couldn't help laughing, and finally figured out the meaning of this sentence with a guess.

"It doesn't matter, if Mr. Kimura has something to do, just go and get busy, I can wait a little longer."

Zhou Xuan replied calmly, with a strong irony in his words.

This time, the man with glasses translated more difficult, and Zhou Xuan didn't know if he had translated correctly, until Kimura listened, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and it was estimated that the general meaning should be correct.

(The following no longer translates speech errors)

"No need, Your Excellency is willing to join us, it is a very wise choice, I represent the Kimura family, welcome, Your Excellency is a friend from China, we have specially prepared the best room for you, you are familiar with the environment first, I still have something to do, so I will be with you first."

After Kimura Ichiro finished speaking, he stood up and nodded, and went out.

Maybe he also felt that the quality of the translator was too poor to communicate with him, so he simply didn't waste time, just said hello and left.

It seems that he is a little disappointed in Zhou Xuan, who looks no different from ordinary people, not powerful at all, and far from the image of the supernatural person in his mind.

Of course, it has also passed the test, so let's keep it for a while before we talk about it.

After Kimura left, guards came in, arranged for him to be fed and lodging, and took him to the training camp for the able.

This circumvention was an eye-opener, and the training camp for the Capable was in a small five-story building on the mountainside.

This small building is connected to the soldiers' camp at the bottom of the mountain, and the terrain and scenery are only the mansion of Kimura on the top of the mountain.

Downstairs there are various training grounds, separated from the soldiers' camp by a wall.

Zhou Xuan sighed not about this, but about the various entertainment venues downstairs, including casinos, bathing places, bars, and brothels of OOXX, which is simply a large entertainment city.

However, these places can only be used by those who have the ability to live in small buildings, and they are also free, which shows the degree of importance that those who are able to do so here.

There are as many as 500 capable people living in the small building, and more than 300 of them are high-level capable people, and this is only the number of capable people on the Eagle Tail side, and there may be more on the side of the Kochi headquarters.

Zhou Xuan originally thought that the more than 300 high-level abilities under his command were enough to lay down a piece of the sky here, but now it seems that he is completely sitting in the well and watching the sky, and if he really wants to conflict, he can't even take this small eagle tail base.

What's more, the Kimura family is not a large force, and there will be more capable people under the Chiba Gate, the Haruyama faction, and the Iga family, which is likely to be a number that he dare not imagine.

The only consolation is that at present, he has not found anyone with the same level or even higher level than him, but this is for Washio, and it is not known if there are more advanced abilities in Kochi Headquarters.

Moreover, these forces are all specializing in raising monsters to cultivate high-level abilities, and it won't take much time to surpass his level.

Zhou Xuan felt a strong sense of urgency, and at the same time, he was even more worried about Yang Li's safety, as far as their more than 300 high-level abilities and thousands of ordinary people were concerned, it was really not worth mentioning, these organizations could just dispatch some forces to settle them, for example, when they saw that team at sea in the afternoon, there were at least half of the high-level abilities, which was enough to eliminate Yang Li and them.
