Chapter 377: A Reason for Pride

.β I said, what are you doing in the early morning running to the castle tower? β
Oda Nobunaga, who was wearing a long robe and still holding a wine bottle in his hand, looked at Bai Shuo drunkenly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"I forgot to mention it yesterday." Bai Shuo scratched his head a little shyly, and said very embarrassedly: "I want to borrow your castle tower." β
"Hey, young man, don't talk nonsense."
Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes, "The castle tower is more than just a building. β
"I know." Bai Shuo replied calmly: "This is a symbol of the power of the city lord." β
"I know and dare to ask this question." Oda Nobunaga poured half a bottle into his mouth with a flask, and let out a mouthful of wine: "What an arrogant guy." β
Bai Shuo said without the slightest embarrassment: "If you borrow it, you won't die." β
"What if I don't borrow?" Oda Nobunaga raised his eyes and looked at him.
"A lot of people will die." A hint of indifference appeared in Bai Shuo's eyes: "A lot." β
He wasn't sure that Oda Nobunaga was not included, but if the city couldn't be defended, the mission of uniting would be completely ruined.
The six people to be protected in the mission, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Oda, Tokugawa, and Uesugi.
Tokugawa Ieyasu and Uesugi Kenshin were expanding outward with Jizhou Castle as the center at this time, Liu Bei and Sun Jian were imprisoned by Yuan Lu Zhi and their whereabouts are unknown, and Cao Cao was dead.
Once two more die, the mission of uniting will be declared a failure.
But it's only two, even if Oda Nobunaga is dead now, it can only be said that it has increased the difficulty of the task for Bai Shuo.
With Nuwa here, with her prestige, even if Oda Nobunaga died, she would be able to command the generals in Furuno Castle.
If Oda Nobunaga still had the spirit of the Sixth Heavenly Demon King of the past, Hakusho wouldn't mind changing his approach; It's a pity that he has now become an escapist who can only drink and have fun and learn to sing "Dunsheng".
After a meaningful silence, Bai Shuo smiled and said, "So, please borrow the castle tower." β
"Hehe, castle tower, if my dead ghost father knew that I would give it up like this, he would be so angry that he would jump out of the grave." Oda Nobunaga looked down at the flask, drunken eyes, and whispered a little sentimentally:
"It's a pity he can't see me anymore."
Bai Shuo slowly opened the paper door on the top floor of the castle tower, and asked without looking back, "So what?" β
"It's just a castle tower." Oda Nobunaga smiled complicatedly and shook the flask in his hand: "Take it, let me see how far you can go as an arrogant man." β
Bai Shuo turned his head to look at him, nodded sincerely, and said, "Thank you." β
The paper doors on all four sides of the huge castle tower had been pushed open, and a cold wind with a bloody smell blew from the sky outside the city, pouring into the empty floors, rolling up the corners of the two men's clothes.
Oda Nobunaga staggered outside the paper door, leaned on the railing, and saw the camp of the Demon King Army at the end of his sight: "It's another army." β
"yes, the siege is about to start again." Bai Shuo yawned a little sleepily, he didn't sleep all night last night, it wasn't just as simple as going to do demolition and construction.
"In other words, the technical content of your city wall is so high, but the dwellings in the city are not strong at all."
He babbled as he pulled out a large pen of equal height from the space, as well as a large water tank large enough to drown several people.
As the huge tank was placed in the corner of the attic, a tremor echoed from the floor.
"Hey, you guy, where did you get this thing out?" Oda Nobunaga stared blankly at the huge water tank.
In the water tank was a clear, viscous golden liquid, in which a trace of blood rippled, and the characteristic smell of ink emanated from it.
Bai Shuo carried the large pen that was large enough to be used as a weapon in the castle tower as if aimlessly observed, and said in his mouth, "Secret, secret." β
"Actually, I have another secret to tell you." Bai Shuo suddenly raised his head and looked at him: "I'm actually not a hand-to-hand combat general. β
"Most people don't believe me, but I'm really a mage." A smile appeared on Bai Shuo's face: "The real thing, like a fake ......"
The large pen in his hand suddenly bounced up under the control of his palm and fell into the water tank, soaked in ink like molten gold.
ββ¦β¦ Grandmaster of Enchantment Spells."
ββ
Zhang Xingcai was awakened by the hustle and bustle, subconsciously raised the weapon in his hand, and walked out of the camp.
When she reached the top of the city, she found an array slowly moving from a far distance.
The black pressed array carried all kinds of siege equipment, and slowly marched over with a ferocious aura that wanted to swallow Guye Castle into its stomach.
The speed is not fast, but it is like a mountain slowly advancing, irresistible,
She patted her cold cheek a little tiredly to refresh herself, and then directed her soldiers to begin preparations for the defense of the city.
"It's going to start again." She sighed in a low voice, for this kind of war, which had been going on day after day, for a month, she had somehow faintly felt disgusted and the urge to give up.
She clenched her spear tightly, remembering her father, who looked like a beast but was gentle to those around her.
Zhang Xingcai, cheer up, you are the daughter of Zhang Fei, the five tiger generals in Shuzhong, you can't ......
"Are you scared?" Suddenly a voice came from behind her, interrupting her inner whispering and startling her a lot.
"Ah, Lord Nuwa......" She turned and saw the silver-haired female general.
As dignified and serious as ever, Nuwa's silver hair was coiled behind her head, she wore a sword at her waist, and held a shield in her hand, but her eyes revealed a trace of concern in her seriousness.
She repeated again: "Are you afraid? Hesitant? β
Xingcai originally wanted to refute, but under her eyes, she didn't know how to say it, and finally could only whisper helplessly in a tone that she was not sure about: "Maybe...... Right? β
"You know what? The man with me said something I appreciated. Nuwa gently straightened the hair on her sideburns: "Fear and hesitation are not very terrible things. β
"I'm really happy that you're still standing here and not giving up." Nuwa saw the confusion and incomprehension in her eyes, and laughed: "Because you still have courage." β
"That man was really right." Nuwa turned around and walked forward: "Courage and hope are really very precious things, don't throw them away easily, you will regret it." β
Zhang Xingcai caught up and asked a little puzzled: "Are you talking about Mr. Bai Shuo?" β
"Yes, just call him Bai Shuo."
Zhang Xingcai stood at the head of the city and said with some hesitation: "I don't know how to say it, but in some things, he may ......."
From the first day Bai Shuo entered the city, he began to heal the wounded who were about to dieβfirst by disemboweling the seriously ill Zhou Yu and performing surgery, and then by taking out his own water purifier to help them purify the polluted water source. It did earn a lot of prestige, but what happened next was a bit disappointing.
In nine hours, he led the migrant workers day and night to demolish dozens of houses, fill in two important wells, make the people's hearts fluctuate, and finally built a simple city wall of dozens of meters in the middle of the night, regardless of the time.
In the end, he even told others a reason.
It seems mild, but in fact it is arrogant and unkind.
No matter who asks the reason, he looks at others with a kind of 'you don't understand when you explain it', even if Zhang Xingcai dragged his tired body to ask in person, he only replied lightly: "I have my own usefulness." β
The attitude is arrogant and cold, but it has won the promise of Oda Nobunaga, which makes it impossible to object.
Zhang Xingcai didn't know how to dissuade this man, hoping that through Nuwa, he would be able to stop the people in the city from disturbing the hearts of the people in the city for the time being.
Looking at Zhang Xingcai, who wanted to speak and stopped, Nuwa shook her head and smiled: "I know what you want to say." β
Zhang Xingcai showed a surprised expression, and heard Nuwa continue: "I also heard the rumors in the city last night, but I didn't try to dissuade him, do you know why? β
"Why not ......"
"Because, I believe, he did it for a reason." Nuwa showed a trusting expression: "Although it seems unreasonable to say this, I trust him as much as I trust Taigongwang and the dead Fuxi." β
"Why didn't he explain?"
"Xingcai, you know what?" Nuwa said gently: "Although he seems to be gentle and approachable, sometimes he won't get angry when you scold him. β
"But he's actually a very proud man."
Nuwa suddenly remembered her little brother, the Taigongwang who was also proud and arrogant; Recalling the days when several people first met, I couldn't help but smile with nostalgia:
"So proud that he doesn't even want to tell anyone why, just because he doesn't want others to tell him."
"That's it, although it doesn't make sense."
Standing at the head of the city, overlooking the slowly approaching array of mountains in the distance, Nuwa said, "I believe in him as much as I believe in myself. β
ββ
"So, you have to trust me."
Bai Shuo held the huge and heavy brush in one hand and said.
Under his pen, a pale golden trail slowly spreads, shimmering like a star. The complex trajectory is like a thorn in the trees.
The entire empty castle tower ground has been filled with layers of spells and strange runes, and the three concentric circles that will not deviate even if measured with the most sensitive detector will connect countless charms and ** together, turning into an orderly whole.
Looking at the huge and complex circular enchantment spell, Oda Nobunaga seemed to have an illusion, and in the layers of mantras, it seemed as if a gorgeous mandala full of mysteries was slowly blooming.
This is the realm that countless enchantment magicians want to achieve, including the Three Realms and Six Realms of the Tibetan Realm Mandala.
He cautiously took two steps back and asked, "What do you believe?" β
"I believe that some of my masters are very powerful, so powerful that they teach me to be an enchantment magician who is better than everyone else."
As he spoke, he waved the large pen in his hand: "It's the first time to make such a big enchantment, it's really a bit difficult, but it's drizzling." β
He finally finished the last stroke, threw away the heavy brush, and slowly walked into the center of the entire enchantment, his hands folded, and his face solemn and awe-inspiring.
A glimmer of golden light spread out in the incantation.
