Chapter Twenty-Five: The Onigiri That Tempts Youkai
In fact, the "theoretical" way of completing this task is indeed circuitous, but it is definitely not as dangerous and destructive as Fang Lin's method, and they not only unleashed the terrifying existence Inuyasha in the end, but also destroyed the Imperial Divine Tree!
The normal way to solve the task is actually to search for clues after hitting a wall at the Mikamiki, and then you will find a quiet village more than twenty miles to the east, in which there is a very old and obese old lady, but it is a mysterious witch named Kaede (at least an old lady who is more than a hundred years old, and she is embarrassed to be called a witch "girl"...... )。
She can let the pure-hearted child get close to the god wood without touching the enchantment at all, and easily obtain the white hair of the sleeping Inuyasha in the sealed state without alarming the powerful youkai, and she can receive the task of exchanging items, which is to kill a centipede spirit outside the village, of course, this centipede essence is not weak, but it is not very strong, it is probably the level of A-level difficulty, and then it is OK to come back and exchange task items.
Fang Lin hadn't actually taken into account the possible direction of this right way to solve the problem, so he also carried with him a lot of valuable gifts that he used to communicate with the civilians at that time, and the reason why he was determined to destroy the seal of the Imperial Divine Wood Liberation Inuyasha.
The reason is very simple, or very complicated, very weird, these words seem to be contradictory, but in fact, after explanation, it becomes clear:
"First, because the dark side of the god Luo Shojin obviously doesn't want Inuyasha to come back again, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to stop them, but directly issued a mission to rescue/release Inuyasha, and Kuroko doesn't seem to want to release Inuyasha either, after all, there is a terrifying strong enemy! Inuyasha is obviously not allowed to be with both sides, there will inevitably be follow-up missions, and this task is either difficult or not difficult, but after all, it is an extra layer of special hidden missions!
The second reason is also very important, that is, according to Fang Lin's judgment, the way he used to complete the task can be said to be the most difficult solution, this is not a joke, knocking down the Imperial Divine Tree with an abnormal mysterious defensive power, and obtaining the task props on the body of the released Inuyasha should be the most difficult way to complete it, so ...... The quest rewards seem to be predictable! ^@^! ”
Moreover, at present, with the forces of justice killing each other, it is obvious that the forces of the dark side have the absolute upper hand, rather than letting the nightmare space produce some kind of uncontrollable regulation, it is better to take the initiative to master this possible variable and be more sure!
Edo City is still very prosperous, but the fourth and the two of them can't help but feel a lot of emotion, when they went there were six people, and when they came back, there were only three, only half of them, which is not bleak. Soon, though, they don't have time for such senseless sadness. Because he had already entered the city lord's mansion directly through the side door, before seeing the sunspot, Fang Lin had instructed with a straight face, you two are dumb now, if anyone says more than half a word, don't need me to talk nonsense, just pull out your tongue yourself.
Heizi was still shrouded in a black robe and hood, and he was silently polishing and repairing a piece of armor, and when Fang Lin and the three of them walked in, he didn't even raise his eyelids, he was still silent, and carefully operated the scraper in his hand. It wasn't until the end of the process that he said lightly:
"Did you get back the white hair of the dog demon?"
Fang Lin directly sent the "black" wrapped in leaves. Kuroko immediately frowned, fanned his nose, and said angrily:
"What are you taking? Is this the grey hair of a dog demon? ”
Fang Lin secretly said in his heart, Lao Tzu, who even admitted to the nightmare space, you dead old ghost are still chattering here? But he still made a very innocent expression on his face and said:
"This is the white hair on the head of the dog demon! You don't know how terrifying that Mikamiki is, and that dog demon, for this little thing, he killed two of my companions, and seriously injured one of them and made him unconscious. ”
"But this is obviously black, do you think this can be called 'white' hair?!" Kuroko said lightly.
Fang Lin saw that the old man put on a posture of bargaining in the vegetable market - he said, "Oh, your meat is too fat and has bones, the price is too expensive, the cholesterol is too high, and there is a 99.99% chance that it is injected with water, in fact, he is very happy in his heart, and he has already made up his mind that the garlic sprouts will return to the pot tonight, and the meat will be you" - I don't like what thorns he picks? Iron must have taken it away at a glance, and immediately withdrew his hand and sneered:
"If you don't approve of it, forget it, and leave the matter at that, and you can find someone else to get his hair. Excuse me! ”
As he spoke, he immediately turned around and left, and the fourth child and Xinyuan were stunned, but they could only follow out. Seeing that the 24-hour task deadline is approaching, the basic surname will be deducted a little, and the two are already a little restless. Fang Lin had already seen this with a cold eye, and immediately said:
"If you two are scared, you can go to him and hand him in the task. But I'm definitely not going to go. ”
The fourth child and Xinyuan hesitated again and again, but still asked Fang Lin for some hair, and hurried to hand in the task, but after a while, he ran back out of breath and said:
"My lord, you didn't have enough hair for me...... The old man said it was too little. ”
Fang Lin smiled, and cherished some hair for them, but he still had a lot left in his hand, and said:
"Don't say I didn't warn you, it's good to pay it now, but don't regret it afterwards, I've already explained it in advance."
The two hesitated for a moment, but still took the hair given by Fang Lin to hand in the task, and soon came back happily:
"We got the reward, it's a rice ball, and after using it, add 3 points to the basic caste that can be freely distributed! But adults better hurry up and pay it, it's still too late to go! That old man just said it! ”
Note: A-class item: Momotaro's rice ball (medium), this item cannot be carried out of this world, but is unique to this world, it is a mysterious item used by Momotaro to lure youkai to work for him, and after taking it, it can make the basic surname points freely distributed +3. Reuse is not effective.
Fang Lin thought for a moment and asked:
"What's Kuroko's reaction to that old fellow?"
The heart is truthful:
"It's still the kind that was very annoyed just now, and he kept saying that the hair we took was polluted, so the amount was not enough, and he seemed to be very reluctant to give us a reward, but fortunately, the task showed that it had been completed, and he couldn't help but give it, and he also said that no one would want such broken hair except him."
Fang Lin smiled and nodded, trading 1,000 points for each of them, which could be regarded as a reward for bringing intelligence to the two of them. But the old god was there, leaning comfortably on the futon and humming a little song. Even if Nightmare Space has prompted that 1 point will be deducted from the mission failure, and the completion level has decreased, he still doesn't care.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Fang Lin could hear the sound of conversation outside, and after a while, the fourth child and Xinyuan came in and said:
"My lord, another temporary joint team in this city, the Wind Team, sent someone to ask to meet you, saying that their captain asked you to come over and meet to discuss the possibility of cooperation."
"Oh?" Fang Lin sat up with a happy face and said, "Are they back?" What a good thing! Very good, very good. ”
After finishing speaking, he continued to lie down and sleep leisurely, the fourth child was very stunned, obviously very puzzled by Fang Lin's answer, but he felt that the fool was unfathomable, and said cautiously:
"This ...... Do adults go or don't? Let's go for it, I've heard they have two candidates on their team. ”
Fang Lin sat up and looked at him and smiled:
"Do you want to go? They must want to come and join us, and if I'm not going to join them, would you like to go? I want to hear the truth, not perfunctory! ”
The fourth child showed hesitation, but soon said firmly:
"I want to follow the adults, at least I won't be plotted by the side of the adults, and even if I am seriously injured and unconscious during the battle, I don't have to worry about the knife stabbed in the back."
Xinyuan also echoed: "Agreed, I decided to follow the adult all the time, I actually know that there may be an increase after deliberately exhausting all the spiritual power to recover again, but I never dared to try, only the time just now, my spiritual power was really lucky to increase a little, and the reward I got this time - Momotaro's rice balls, such a harvest is very rare even in the past experience, I am determined to follow the adult, at least my heart is solid!" ”
The fourth child then asked:
"I've known the man sent by the Wind Troop before, and if he asks me what I've learned today, what should I say and what I shouldn't say? I think they're going to get some news! ”
Fang Lin thought for a moment and said:
"I can't say anything I do, you can say whatever you want to say the rest, it's better to say a little more terrifying, it's better to use the method of betraying intelligence, and you can also knock a little more, and how much you knock is your own. You tell him by the way, I'm tired, so I'm not going. ”
Xinyuan obviously didn't understand that since Fang Lin didn't go, he began to say, "It's a good thing!" Very good, very good. What does that mean. But he didn't dare to ask.
