Chapter 46: The Charm of the King
The birthplace of magic is Europe. This is the correct argument of geopolitics, but it is not appropriate in the context of cultural anthropology. Strange techniques such as magic and spells exist in all cultures. It is true that most of the powerful magic societies and other organizations are in Europe, but it is not that only their local magic is orthodox and mainstream.
In fact, since modern times, many Western magicians have devoted themselves to the study of Eastern spiritual civilization. For example, the Indian mysticism of yoga and mantras. Chinese mantras such as Taoism, Feng Shui, Five Elements Thought, etc.
Japan, the land of samurai, is also a suitable subject for study, and there are many Western magicians who are particularly enthusiastic, and the belief in the eight million gods, which is unique to Japan, is also a popular subject of study.
Unexpectedly, the Wanli Valley family had intimate contacts with such foreign researchers.
The Wanriya family was originally a courtier in Kyoto, but the difference was huge, and they were not noble families, nor were they wealthy. This bloodline has been born many times over the generations with excellent spiritual powers.
The same is true of contemporary Yuri, who have been entrusting such women to shrines and temples and working as nuns or shrine maidens for hundreds of years.
Because of this lineage, the family has a lot of status in the fields of religion, spells, etc.
Moreover, during the Meiji Showa period, the head of the Wanli Valley family, who was given the status of a baron, was a socialist who liked Western culture.
Westerners - have a lot of dealings with people who have knowledge of magic.
The Wanri Valley family entertains researchers who visit Japan for field research and facilitates their research. If you are visiting from Europe, we will entertain them if you have the chance.
Therefore, although it seems that he grew up in pure Japanese, Yuri is actually used to interacting with foreigners.
I can probably handle my daily conversation in English, and I have also had a few experiences in Europe.
Because of this family situation, it has also become a Sasha. Dejansdal. The opportunity for Woban's imprisonment has to be said to be really ironic.
Four years ago, in order to complete many advanced magic tricks, it was considered extremely difficult to perform the "Divine Summoning" technique. Woban gathered talented shrine maidens from all over Europe in order to use their magical powers to recruit gods. Because it happened to be because of the summer vacation, I was invited by an acquaintance in Austria to come to the Wanli Valley house in Europe, which can only be said to be unfortunate.
Shrine maidens as talented as Yuri Wanya are also very rare in Europe.
Therefore, Woban's subordinates, who were hunted by the shrine maiden with excellent spiritual powers, immediately found out that it was considered a sacrifice to the demon king.
"At that time, I was very bored, and I was still thinking that it was a hunt that I hadn't seen in a long time, but I became a little more famous, and the 'God of Disobedience' never came out. Not in front of me, but the cause of my headache. ”
Looking at the picture projected into the crystal ball by the ancient witch on the side with the magic of spiritual vision, Woban's tone and attitude seemed very calm, but his humanity was the opposite. In fact, what he did was very selfish and full of blasphemy.
"I have a few privileges, I have the right to choose the prey to hunt, but I don't have a hobby of hunting mice, only the strong are worthy of my hunt." The demon king who slaughtered several pillars of gods. The lips showed a hideous and crooked smile.
A creepy force spread out from his tall, thin body, and the sharp emerald eyes shone like a tiger's pupils.
"For the gods who are suitable to be my prey - this problem, I didn't solve it at that time. If this ritual succeeds, I should be able to enjoy it for a while! ”
The beginning and end of the events of four years ago - remembering the incident of Salvatore. Tony snatched the wrath of the incurred gods. The smile disappeared from the corner of Woban's mouth. Turn your precipitous gaze to the void. He said to himself, "I want to challenge myself now, the same thing I did four years ago, so I need your cooperation, just like then. Run away, and I'll show you that you have no right to refuse, for no one can disobey what I've decided!" ”
Before you know it, the sun has set in the west. It's nighttime.
Due to the fact that the Seven Heroes Shrine, that is, in the vicinity of Wanri Valley, there are often people from the official history compilation committee who are secretly "protecting", when the Marquis of Woban and Erica. The news of Broomrie's intrusion had already reached headquarters, and the clever politicians had a headache and at the same time, they also chose not to know what to do.
It wasn't until Wanli Gu Yuri was arrested that two powerful forces suddenly burst out of the room, and they were still fighting each other. Quickly realizing that things were taking a turn for the better, these guys immediately showed their skills smoothly.
When Yang Xi hugged Wanli Gu and Erica. When Brontree walked out of the shrine together, the Ganji winter horse, who had a previous relationship, was already waiting for the car.
Yang Xi actually wanted to say that the four wheels couldn't run his legs, but he didn't plan to move the fighting place anyway, so he unceremoniously accepted the other party's "kindness".
"Erica. Miss Bluntree, why is she here? I heard that you, as the Grand Knight of the Red Bronze and Black Cross, came to Japan with the Marquis, and that you left your allegiance to the king and eloped with another king, don't you think that the rumor that you have gone away will damage the honor of your association? ”
While driving, the horse said with a smile on his face.
"Ahra, elopement or something is so ugly, it's just that the Marquis of Woban's style of acting is different from my standards as a knight, so I just choose to draw a line with him. Others will only say that I am Erica. Brontree is not afraid of power and sticks to his principles, which is an honor for the knights! ”
Erica, who is extremely proficient in social skills. Privately, Brontree was defeated by Liliana. Kranizal called it "the she-fox", and the sword of the sweet winter horse never stopped after getting on the cart.
Yang Xi just looked at the scenery outside the window very calmly.
"The king seems to be very confident, and he can be so calm in the face of the oldest and most vicious demon king, this kind of mentality is something we can't achieve."
After discovering Yang Xi's attitude, Ganji Dongma said tentatively.
That's right, he was nervous, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately lectured Erica. In fact, Erica is the same, just pinning her spirit on fighting with people for the time being, and it is also to relieve the tension of facing the Marquis of Warban next.
In fact, Erica was very envious of Yuri Wanya who was in a coma at this time. Not only did she not have to be so nervous, but she could also lie in the king's arms and sleep to her heart's content.
At this time, Erica completely forgot how Yuri Wanri had been stimulated before.
The shrine was where she had stayed for many years, and the staff there treated her with great respect, but like family.
The shock of seeing them all turn into pillars of salt made Yuri's spirit almost collapse.
If it weren't for the thought of Yang Xi, who regarded the mysterious Seventh King as the last straw, and even sacrificed his beliefs, no one would know what the outcome would be at this time. Perhaps, like those witches and witches who were traumatized four years ago, they may become invalids.
If the Marquis of Warban finds that the excellent materials he has managed to find become waste. What will he do?
It's a good mood to let Wanli Gu Yuri fend for herself, and it's more likely to turn her into a "servant of death" to see if she can still retain that qualification if she is completely controlled after death. No matter how bad it is, it will become one of the many salt pillars.
"I've always had faith in myself, but you don't have faith in me. Alright, since you've all taken us away by car, I guess your organization's canonical history compilation committee has prepared the place where I fought with the Marquis of Woban. I don't want to disturb you, but I would like to remind you that thirty minutes is almost up! If he didn't go to the place, the Marquis of Warban didn't look like a guy who could divide places. Maybe attack directly on the street. ”
Not perhaps, but for sure!
As long as you have read the information book about the Marquis of Woban, everyone knows that the brutal demon king does not take human life seriously at all.
Rather, it is his interest to play with the lives of ordinary people.
"Actually" Suddenly, Ganji Dongma's eyes glanced through the reflector at the sleeping witch lying in Yang Xi's arms. He said very calmly, "It's just that handing over Miss Yuri as a sacrifice is also an option, and personally, I think it's a sad choice." However, if the public interest is the priority, this is the best choice. ”
Seeing that Yang Xi did not object, he still maintained a flat demeanor looking out of the window, and the courage of the Ganji Winter Horse was slightly enlarged.
He continued: "If this is done, the Marquis de Vauban will be satisfied. If you leave Tokyo right away, you won't need to have extra victims, so it's very appropriate. ”
"Wang, Mr. Gansu's opinion is not wrong."
At the critical moment, Wanli Gu Yuri woke up, she was not angry because the frivolous young man said something to betray herself, but looked at Yang Xi seriously, "If you don't hand me over, the battle between the king and the marquis will cause a serious tragedy in Tokyo." Do you know the truth? The city was destroyed by a great storm summoned by the marquis, and the legend of the freed wolves ravaged the village. ”
Instilled with determination, Yuri said in a dignified voice.
She was no longer afraid, but spoke quietly with a sad expression.
"The Marquis is obsessed with me alone. Luckily, the Marquis seems to just want me to help him complete the ceremony, so he shouldn't do anything to embarrass me, it must not matter. ”
Yuri Wanri smiled as if he wanted to reassure the others.
It looks strong, but it is an illusory smile.
"Four years ago, there were about thirty shrine maidens who participated in the summoning ceremony of the 'God of Disobedience' hosted by the Marquis. After the ceremony, about two-thirds of the people suffered from major mental disorders, and most of the shrine maidens went berserk and could not stay awake. ”
Erica on the side. In a very elegant tone, Blenderie debunked the lies of the shrine maidens who wanted to sacrifice themselves.
"That ritual is very famous, and with that level of sacrifice you can attract the 'God of Disobedience'. To be honest, I was surprised to hear that Yuri had attended that ceremony, and I thought that he was able to be safe because he was superior in the crowd of shrine maidens, but I wouldn't be optimistic that I would be able to do that next time. ”
Aware of Yuri Valley and Erica. Brontree looked at himself with his eyes, as if he wanted to know his choice, and Yang Xi finally couldn't maintain his previous posture.
Turning her head and calmly looking at the witch who pretended to be strong but trembled faintly, Yang Xi chuckled and touched her beautiful hair.
This is just his habitual action, and it does not mean anything frivolous.
Even so, Yuri Wanli lowered his head shyly.
But it's amazing, the original fear calms down all of a sudden. The king's smile was like the sun dispelling the clouds that had shrouded his heart, and even his trembling body recovered.
"What you can think of, I think of before you, and if I don't think about anything, I don't come randomly. I cherish my life more than anyone else! Now that I've decided to protect you, I won't give up halfway, so don't say anything about handing yourself over. And men, I have to fight a lot of the time, and I can't do this kind of thing hiding behind weak women. Whether you are handsome or overconfident, in short, this matter is settled. ”
is obviously a very gentle expression, but he said firm words that people can't refute, and Yuri Wanli Gu is stupid.
After hearing Yang Xi's words, Erica. Brontree's expression also became strange, and then, she shrugged her shoulders and looked unbearable, "The king's appearance is more feminine than that of a woman, but he said such a man's words, do you know that now you don't have to be handsome to attract ignorant girls!" ”
After speaking, she also mouthed towards Wanli Gu, wanting to tell Yang Xi that a simple "ignorant girl" had fallen at this time.
If you are the king, you will never lose!
This unfounded feeling reinvigorated Yuri Rinya.
Seeing that Wang had swept away the decadent atmosphere with just a few words, the Ganji Winter Horse, who was driving the car, lowered his head slightly, trying to avoid others from meeting his eyes. It's just that the light reflected by the lenses looks very suspicious, and his subconscious movements happened to be discovered by Yang Xi, who was sitting in the back seat, from the rearview mirror.
It's clear that this guy, or the canonical history compilation committee, is playing with his own ideas.
It seems that even if the Marquis of Woban is sent away this time, the future days will definitely not be peaceful, and it will really become more and more complicated.
"Alas~"
Youyou sighed, and Yang Xi casually said something that everyone had forgotten about for the time being, "It's here." ”
Here it comes?
What the hell is coming?
With this curiosity, Yuri Wankariya and Erica. Bonetree looked out the window and saw a dozen wolves the size of adult horses running down the road at breakneck speed, about to catch up with the car!
Thirty minutes have come, and the Marquis of Woban has arrived! (To be continued......)
