Chapter Twenty-Six: The Re-Invitation of the Three Emperors and Estes
"Where the hell have you gone? I've been looking for you for a long time, didn't you say that we were going to train together today? β
"No, no, I don't remember that we had a 'train together' agreement, if there were, I'd definitely remember it......"
"That's true, maybe I'm mistaken, so let's make an appointment now, we'll train together now, you'll agree, right?"
What a scoundrel, simply typical of a bully.
But since the target is Seleuc, plus a bio-type emperor who looks like 'I'll bite you to death if I don't agree', Hiiragi really can't find any way to refuse.
It's only been less than half a day since the previous battle, and Hiiragi isn't in the mood to train with Sai Leu right now.
Now that he has three imperial tools, he must learn to use them skillfully, otherwise he will definitely struggle in the future battles.
Originally, the plan was to recover all the three beasts' imperial tools, but because Brand and Tazmi still had a relationship with each other, Hiiragi finally had to choose to give up.
But when it comes to training, isn't it just running or something, and if you can do it like Saitama Sensei for a few years, it's not like Hiiragi doesn't want to try it......
Because once you train to the level of Saitama Sensei, you can kill all enemies in an instant with one punch.
It's just that in the face of a strong enemy, it takes some continuous serious punches.
"You look like you're in a hurry, what are you going to do? Do you want me to help? What's behind you? β
Saileu's enthusiasm is of course a good thing, but the current Hiiragi really doesn't need the help of others, it's his own business.
"If you want to train together, is it okay after three hours? I don't have time to train now, these things are my purchases, and if you make money, I'll ask you to eat. β
"Since Nangong you said so, we will meet at the branch of the Imperial Capital Garrison in three hours, do you know the location? Just around the corner at the end of the bazaar, there is the sign of the Imperial Capital Garrison. β
I understood, Hiiragi, who answered like this, also nodded, and was relieved that the imperial tool he was carrying was not found, and Seru confirmed it and began to patrol with Xiaobi in his arms.
"So ......"
Hiiragi also turned to look at the bustling imperial capital behind him, the busy day ended here, but there were still some things that he needed to confirm slowly.
This time, Hiiragi also went to the interior of the royal castle through the secret passage told by the minister, and Hiiragi, who did not choose to report to the minister, also came to the place where he last met the main god, in an inconspicuous warehouse somewhere in the royal city.
I hope this time I don't run into the main god of teasing in the bath, its appearance is simply a waste of my time.
After checking that the door was closed twice, Hiiragi also entered the deepest part of the warehouse, and could smell a musty smell all around, which seemed to be a little damp inside.
Sitting cross-legged in the corner of the warehouse, even if you are not claustrophobic, you are a little uncomfortable with such an environment.
Feeling the coldness of the ground, Hiiragi also stood up again and found a random box to sit down.
Originally, there was a seat on top of the box, so the bottom was clean when it was removed, so there was no need to worry about dust.
Gossip Hugh, Hiiragi, who was sitting in the warehouse, also took out all the imperial tools he had collected.
His own imperial tools are already familiar, and the rest are Daedas's imperial tools and Niwu's imperial tools.
As for the reason why he can use the plural emperor, Hiiragi doesn't know so far, maybe it's his own golden finger.
"The hero who is not the protagonist should also have some privileges."
This is the ability and setting that a traverser should have, and it is not a plot that is often killed so badly.
Looking at the imperial tool in front of him, first Hiiragi also picked up Daedas's imperial tool [Two Great Axes (Belwack)], originally thinking that this would be the case......
"Why, so heavy ......"
I can't feel it when I carry it, but when I want to pick it up with one hand, Hiiragi can feel it obviously.
Rather, it's hard to pick up even with both hands.
Hiiragi, who had tried to pick it up with both hands, was sweating from his forehead, and remembering that when he picked up the giant axe with ease, Hiiragi also discovered one of the main points.
The prerequisite for using the Great Axe flexibly and throwing it is to use your own Imperial Tools.
In other words, it is impossible to use Daedas's Imperial Tool perfectly without using your own Imperial Tools......
The compatibility of the two Imperial Tools is based on Hiiragi's own cost of a certain amount of 'health'.
"That's a bit of a problem......"
Because his emperor is a double-edged sword, Hiiragi doesn't really want to use it, except in extreme cases.
To put it bluntly, once there is an opportunity to use other imperial tools, Hiiragi will not let it go.
However, Daedas's Imperial Tool needs physical ability as a basic support, and Hiiragi also thinks that this Imperial Tool is not suitable for him.
Putting the axe down, Hiiragi also picked up Niou's imperial equipment.
Emperor of the Flute - [Military Music Dream (Scream)]: Able to freely manipulate the emotions of the audience, although it is known to be used on the battlefield to boost morale, in fact, it can manipulate dozens of emotions, but if you listen to it repeatedly, you will become resistant to the tune. The secret technique is to use performance to strengthen one's own 'ghost summoning'.
That's all Hiiragi knows, and as for how to use it, it's enough to play it with your mouth.
Limited to the interior of the royal city, it is impossible to play and experiment so easily, so Hiiragi has no choice but to give up.
Originally, he planned to go to the wilderness to test, but because he was worried about being tracked and attacked by Tazmi, Hiiragi chose to return to the imperial capital.
Put the two imperial tools in the box.,Hiiragi also wondered if there should be a space storage bag or something.,Anyway, this kind of setting has been used up in many novels, right?
It's such a common setting, why don't you have it?
The reason for not being is simple, and that is that the world has never been kind to itself.
When it comes to space storage bags, Hiiragi doesn't really hate this kind of setting that is rotten, after all, it will be used rotten because it is very easy to use.
It's like the protagonist falls and pounces on the girl's skirt and chest, and these very common settings are understandable.
"That bastard is the main god......"
In the final analysis, it is the fault of the Lord God that he has given himself so few privileges.
But no matter what, the other party is the main god, and it's not okay to offend casually.
A lot of thinking and nonsense took a lot of time, and Hiiragi also planned to speed up the development of the plot.
It's just that it's not so simple to promote the development of the plot, and there are a lot of people who hinder you, such as Tazmi and Brand who met today.
For the sake of convenience, Hiiragi only brought Niou's imperial equipment [Military Dream (Scream)] with him, and the axe was hidden in the depths of the warehouse.
When he was ready, Hiiragi also left the warehouse, ready to go to other places to rest and bask in the sun before going to Seleuc.
However, just as Hiiragi was just making such a plan, Estes walked towards this side from the entrance not far away.
Hiiragi shrank back, ready to walk back, butβ
"You over there, stop me!"
"Huh?!"
Hearing Estes's voice, Hiiragi also ran away like the last time.
Bang!
It was the explosion caused by the ice pick sticking into the ground, and Hiiragi stopped at the same time.
Estes's figure appeared above, standing at the apex of the icicle, looking down at Hiiragi
"How many times do you want to run away from me?"
"I just thought of something urgent."
"What can you do? It's just a matter of researching information...... There are a lot of cases on my side. β
Estes stepped down from the ice pick, she glanced at Hiiragi, and then walked towards the Wangcheng residence.
There was no way, Hiiragi had to follow behind her and slowly walked to her side.
"My men were killed, all ......"
"That's ......"
"No, I'm not looking for your comfort, and I don't need anyone to comfort me, they'll be killed, just because they're not strong enough to be strong."
"For General Estes, strength is everything?"
"Isn't that something to be taken for granted? A strong opponent is pleasant, and a weak opponent has no value in battle, and this is what real human beings think. β
Everyone should do their best to get stronger, Estes said
"Do you think you're strong?"
"I'm just a normal person, General Estes."
"Ordinary people, is it? You don't look like you say you do, but I don't really care, I want your talents. β
Talent,About the talent of shaking S......
The two men came to a slope with a sloping lawn on the right, and Estes stood at the top and looked down.
"Aren't there many reasons to be strong? It can be to protect myself, or to protect others like those so-called good people, but my own strength is always for myself. β
Not for vanity or justice, but for himself, and Estes who insisted on it in this way was also right.
After all, protecting yourself is always more important than protecting others, especially in this cruel world.
"I've never been merciful to the enemy, but I respect my soldiers, and their deaths aren't worthless, or at least it's funny to understand that the enemy is definitely not an idle person."
Estes was not completely oblivious to the deaths of her men, but instead of showing her grief, she glorified their exploits.
The wind ruffled her long hair, and Estes smoothed it out with his hands.
She measured her face and smiled.
"So be my person, Nan, I can show you everything you have never seen before, whether it is an enemy or a friend, you will experience unprecedented changes, don't you look forward to such a future?"
"The future ...... like that"
"My next plan is about to begin, and then I'll come back to you, at that time, you won't have a reason to refuse."
Turning away in style, Estes did not continue to pester Hiiragi.
What did she like about herself?
Helps her learn about the new torture tools? Or is it because he is from the minister's side and wants to poach him?
The former is somewhat likely, and the latter is unlikely, after all, Estes doesn't care about the minister as a person.
All she pursued was enemies that would allow her to fight with all her might andβ
In love......
"It's time to go."
Looking at Estes's back, Hiiragi also turned away, not intending to stay here.
Regarding Estes's invitation, Hiiragi also thinks that there is no harm in accepting it, but once the emperor is discovered, he will die......
Estes has learned of the death of the Three Orcs, so the cause of their death will definitely be investigated, and the lost Imperial Tool will also be investigated.
Now it seems that Estes's guess is that NightRaid killed the Three Orcs, and in fact two of them were killed by Hiiragi.
If these things are revealed, Hiiragi will definitely become enemies with Estes.
Although it is not impossible for Hiiragi to join the NightRaid now, he has not had a confrontation with him head-on from beginning to end, at most he has shown his face when saving Ciel.
Just like Akatomi, as an Imperial Killer, she can join the NightRaid, and Hiiragi also thinks that she has one.
However, Hiiragi doesn't want to be an enemy of Estes if possible.
Now that the plot has changed drastically, and Hiiragi has become the main promoter of the plot, a single mistake will bring very tricky trouble.
Thinking about these questions, Hiiragi also left the royal city and came to the meeting place with Seleuc.
"Yo! South! β
"Isn't it still early for the rendezvous?"
"I hate being late, and you're not here too?"
"That's ......"
"Let's go, so is Xiaobi!"
Seleuc raised his right hand, then pointed to the road ahead, motioning for Hiiragi to follow her.
Exercising, it's something Hiiragi hasn't done for a long time.
I've done it before, but if you get into an unfortunate accident, most of your workouts will go to waste.
Of course, sometimes I will slowly train my body by reading files, but because it will cause mental and physical disharmony, Hiiragi still chooses to give up in the end.
As he ran, he felt the coolness of the wind, and Sairu stared at Hiiragi's face from the side.
"Why are you still sad?"
"Because I received an invitation from an adult."
"What invitation? Become a disciple of that person? β
"Why do you think it's about becoming a disciple?"
"Isn't that usually the case with invitations? I think it's good to be a disciple of a strong man. β
"I can't deny it, but I don't think that's what that person was aiming for."
Hiiragi also looked ahead, then took Seru's hand and ran to the left.
"Be careful."
Pulling Seliu to dodge the oncoming carriage, Sailiu glanced at Hiiragi's hand, and took it back under Xiaobi's shout.
"I'm sorry, I was careless!"
"Do you want to run a lap?"
"Yes, yes."
In addition, Sai Ru took Hiiragi and ran while saying what was in his heart.
"I think there are some things that can be answered by thinking, only by doing it can we know, just like we enforce justice, we must really punish evil, in order to understand how hateful the other party is!"
I didn't know until I did it.
It's like 'practice is the only criterion for testing truth'......
Do you know until you have to do it?
Hiiragi also stopped and looked at the Imperial Capital City behind him.
"Maybe you can say yes......"
Go and see the future that Estes is talking about......
