Chapter 43: Undercurrents are surging
Near the famous Yushima Tenjin Shrine in Japan, a shrine built on the side of a small road in Yushima, it is a small shrine that is managed by the priest who lives nearby and the residents of the same area, who are not frequented by the main priest and the shrine maiden on weekdays.
A high school girl in a short-sleeved uniform opens the elegant door to the shrine's front hall and swaggers inside.
If people in the neighborhood see it, they may think it is strange.
As the door which is usually closed is opened, but it is not trespassing, there is no reason to be taught.
And it's five o'clock in the morning, and there are hardly any pedestrians on the road.
"Understood, Grandpa. Probably no problem, although I don't have any experience with boys, but I can still pretend to be it, right? β
She sat elegantly on the floor of the shrine's front hall while talking on her phone.
Strong winds were blowing fiercely outside.
The howl of the wind grew louder and louder, almost as if it was about to blow away the shaky little shrine. The sky was full of dark clouds, and it was about to rain.
"Huh? Ways to cheat men? If you are taught by such a grandfather, you will definitely not be productive. Anyway, they can't keep up with the times, right? Let's learn it yourself. β
She deftly untied the bag that had been placed on the floor with one hand.
The long knife in the black-lacquered scabbard was revealed, and the blade was three feet three inches and five minutes longβher trusty companion.
There were more than a dozen documents scattered around her side, which were investigation reports on girls her age.
"I found a kid who looked funny. Oh, that's one of the king's lovers, and he doesn't feel like he's going to lose, and he's going to drive them out of Japan. Of course, if there is no way to solve the problem, it can only be solved by force. That's a lot of fun, so let's get back in touch later. β
After she finished. Pick up one of the pieces of paper scattered on the ground.
Liliana. Clanitzal was born in Milan, Italy, and belongs to the magic association "Bronze Black Cross", 16 years old.
He is 165 cm tall and has measurements of 82, 60, and 83.
Looking at the photos taken by the camera, she is a beautiful beautiful girl.
She, Qingqiu Yuan Ena, looked at the personal information of the "Sword Fairy" and smiled proudly.
"I don't feel any shortcomings compared to the other party, if this girl is a girl, it should make Ena happy." Saying to her partner lying on the floor, Megumi looked outside.
It became completely quiet.
The strong wind weakened. The sky is getting clearer.
"That wind, is it really made by grandpa? What a grandfather who caused me a lot of trouble. β
After shrinking her shoulders and muttering a few words, Ena planned to put her phone in her pocket.
However, I suddenly remembered that the battery was running out, so I stopped and looked for the dry battery-type charger in the bag.
The person who talks to Ena is a mobile phone that has been turned off
Yuri Wanri Tani feels that something big is going to happen recently.
At first, the comb suddenly burst when I was combing my hair yesterday morning, and when I went to bed last night, I had an extremely terrible nightmare.
In fact, she didn't know if she was dreaming.
Or. It's not so much a dream as a vision.
Deep in a certain forest lives a witch who is revered by many animals, especially wolves, bears, and birds with powerful presences.
When Yuri Wanli saw that the witch was manipulating the human wolf, all of a sudden. Disappeared. The space she was in was surrounded by darkness, and she felt like she was standing in the darkness of the gloomy air.
It rarely happens, but she often sees strange things, so she doesn't feel uneasy. Rather, it is intended to increase spiritual power to see the essence of the illusion.
The hallucinations continued.
Something in the depths of darkness. The gaze stared at it, and it felt like something like a mouse. Rats slowly change and gradually increase in size beyond specifications. Moreover, the posture has also changed. This is a dog no. It's a wolf. Judging by her fierce and fierce appearance, she judged it so.
The wolf's four legs become two-legged standing. Needless to say, this is a human-wolf gesture.
Is it because it's a dream? That's why you see such a vision?
Just as Yuri Wankari was in doubt, the man-wolf slowly walked through the darkness - from the dark cavern to the ground. There they saw a big snake dancing, and the human wolf trampled it and slaughtered it.
Then the man-wolf stretched out his hand to the glorious sun in the sky.
Caught it. The man-wolf grabbed the ball of light that emitted light with his bare hands.
As a result, the wolf swallowed the ball of light and gradually transformed into a human old man. That's the person Yuri Wanli has met before.
Tall, lanky with a wise face β and emerald eyes.
Ruled Eastern and Southern Europe, the Campione of antiquity. The ancient demon king cast the light of the evil eye at Yuri and smiled hideously.
"-Marquis de Vauban?! How, what are you doing!! β
The most intense terror struck, and at the same time she let out a mournful scream, her consciousness disappeared.
When she woke up again, it was already early the next morning.
At the same time, the phone at Yang Xi's place of residence rang.
Yang Xi, who was the first to get up to prepare breakfast, answered it as quickly as possible in order to prevent other people from being noisy after hearing the phone ring.
"Hey, who's coming?"
"This voice, is it Yang Xi? It's been a long time, how are you doing, my friend?! β
"I don't think we're friends."
"Don't be so ruthless~ Have you forgotten what happened to us that day?"
If this is a straightforward conversation, then there should be something like that.
Blonde, tall and handsome. The upright face shows a cheerful expression and likes to be close to people. On the outside, he is a gentle and elegant man, but in fact, he is the strongest warrior with a steel body.
"Please don't say this kind of thing in an ambiguous tone that is easy to misunderstand, find me something to say quickly, and I'll hang up the phone directly!"
Salvatore. Tony.
Twenty-four-year-old Italian, and the sixth Campione.
It has a strong influence centered on southern Europe and has already defeated the Four Pillar Gods.
"Wait a minute, my friend. Today I just wanted to give you a piece of advice, you know the Dao Sasha. Dejansdal. Is the name Woban? β
"Well, with a little understanding, an old man with a strange personality and full of spirit. It seems to live near you. β
"Well, because it's in the Italian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula, if you look at the map of the world, is it okay to say that you live nearby? But the old man's personality is not a person who can't live in the same place for a long time.,It doesn't seem to be around anymore.γ After all, he lived a wandering life before he became king, and even struggled to find food for more than ten years, perhaps after defeating the demon wolf Fenrir or Garm, his life changed. β
The most famous monster in Fenrir Norse mythology, a giant wolf-like monster, legend has it that when he opens his mouth, his upper and lower jaws can hold up against heaven and earth. He was imprisoned by the dwarves due to his fierce personality, and only escaped from the end of the war when he was able to swallow the sun and the main god Odin.
Loki, the god of destruction and calamity, and Angelberda, the giantess, have three terrible children - the goddess of death and the queen of the underworld, Hel, the earthly python Yolmangund, and the giant wolf Fenrir. Due to his ferocious nature, he was chained by the gods with an iron chain that Thor had forged for nine days and nine nights, but Fenrir easily broke the chain. The gods had no choice but to turn to the weapon-crafting gnomes, who forged an invisible chain called "Gleiphir" from six rare things: the roots of mountains, the footsteps of cats, the breath of fish, the beard of women, the Achilles tendons of bears, and the saliva of birds, and sacrificed one of the hands of the god of war, Till, to capture Fenrir.
Legend has it that during the Battle of Ragnorok, Fenrir finally broke free from this invisible chain, devoured the sun and moon, devoured everything in the world, and killed Odin, the king of the gods, and after killing Odin, he was also assassinated by Vidal, the son of Odin and the god of forest and peace. Eventually, the war also triggered "Ragnarok".
"The first god the old man killed was the Fenrir wolf?"
"Well, this possibility is relatively high. The gods he initially defeated were unknown, but the Marquis of Warban's first power was the 'Greedy Wolves' who could summon hundreds of wolves and wield them with all their might. Therefore, I guess I killed the wolf god or something. Then comes the power, the ability to turn the living into salt by just staring, the ability to call for a storm to blow the streets of towns away, and the people you kill into slaves who obey them like zombies and ghosts. β
Yang Xi, who already knew all of this, sighed, "Alas~ What does the old man who bothers the people around him have to do with me?" β
"Oops, sorry, forgot. Because this old man should be in Tokyo now, it seems that he is here to sell something, and he said not to enter my territory or something."
"Who would do something like that! I'm living a pretty chic life now, as long as she doesn't mess with me, I won't take the initiative to provoke him! β
"Well~ the world is unpredictable, maybe in some inadvertent place, you have a conflict, as long as you can beg me, a warrior Salvatore who is a friend and big brother, for help, immediately"
Salvatore. Before Tony finished speaking, Yang Xi unceremoniously interrupted him.
"No need, the people I can't beat plus you won't help, the people I can beat, plus you also seem a little redundant, you still have to keep your duty and do your own thing honestly."
After ending the call, Yang Xi returned to a peaceful life, but he knew that the calm at this time was just the calm before the storm. (To be continued......)
