Dylan remembered that Keiji Oda had told him that after killing XCOM, he would confess his guilt to the Kitada clan and exchange his life for the continuation of the family bloodline. If what he said was true, when he died, the samurai supported by the Oda family lost their main family, and they would all end up in exile. Dylan's willingness to accept these warriors would be good for everyone.

However, if he does not agree·······.

Dylan touched his left arm, which was already intact, and then glanced at Keiji Oda's chest. He thinks that with his current state, he should have a chance of winning more than eighty percent against Keiji Oda, who is injured. Today, if Oda Keiji refuses to agree to send troops, I'm afraid he will have to stay in Ise Castle forever.

Dylan looked at Keiji Oda with blazing eyes, and Keiji Oda also put down his teacup and looked at Dylan. The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a flash of fire. Qi Tian Zhonggang and Kamizen saw that the two of them looked wrong, and they were too frightened to speak, and the atmosphere of the scene condensed for a while.

Halfway through, Oda Keiji suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahahaha······ What did Your Highness say? Shima and Ise are allies, and there should be a friendship between allies, let alone money and employment. How many people Your Highness needs, please tell me directly!"

Seeing that Oda Keiji agreed, Dylan and the others also laughed together, and the originally solemn atmosphere in the room suddenly dissipated.

After the four of them negotiated the number of samurai they needed to hire and signed a paperwork, Oda Keiji left the conference room on the grounds that he was unwell.

Seeing his back leaving, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Dylan with palpitations, "Your Highness! ”

Qi Tian Zhonggang said: "What? Did Your Highness just do something?"

Dylan glanced at the honest Saida Tadayo, and then said with a smile, "Didn't the head of the Oda family just say that? Since Shima and Ise are already allies, there should be a friendship between the allies. He signed the paperwork himself, and I didn't force him. ”

"But Your Highness ·····"

Kazenzen was about to say something, but was interrupted by Dylan: "Okay! Go, send this transfer document to Shima urgently, and let them send troops as soon as possible. When the troops arrived, the inferior samurai disrupted the ration of the Oda family, and the superior samurai sent it to the shrine. You don't have to worry about anything else. ”

"Hay!"

Seeing that Dylan had made up his mind, he stopped admonishing him, and after picking up the paperwork and saluting, he left the room. Subsequently, Dylan also left Qitian Mansion and walked towards the Divine Palace.

After last night's demon siege, the original exquisite shrine was also dilapidated. Dylan could only bring the three imps and two female ninjas to the Ashiya Road Manchurian house for a few days.

········

On the second day, Dylan and Keiji Oda each led a group of samurai to the dense forest where the XCOM Lord lived as planned. Then, he successfully found the cave where he was his lair.

Dylan looked at the wide, clean cavern in front of him and exclaimed, "I thought they were just digging a few holes. Spread a layer of straw on the ground like a wild beast, and make do with it. Unexpectedly, they not only dug out thousands of meters of space in the mountains, but also dug out hundreds of rooms, large and small. ”

Keiji Oda touched his beard and said, "Yufu has lived in Kyoto for hundreds of years, and he has long since adapted to living in a house. It's not just him, many monsters on the land of Yingzhou have the same habits as human beings. For example, the Snow Maiden, the Cooking Woman, and the Fox Demon all built houses away from people. On weekdays, no one disturbs them, so they live alone, and if someone trespasses on their territory, they will be left behind. ”

Dylan nodded in understanding, and his eyes scanned around, and suddenly he saw more than a dozen realistic murals painted on a wall in the cave.

He walked to the wall and looked at the murals on the wall and said, "Master Oda, look at the murals on this wall, what are they?" How I look, it feels somewhat familiar. ”

Hearing Dylan's call, Oda Keiji also stepped closer to watch. As he watched, he explained to Dylan, "This is the ancient legend of Yingzhou, you see, the content of this first painting is····· At the beginning of the formation of heaven and earth, the main god of the Heavenly Palace, the god of the high imperial nest, and the god of the nest were first formed in Takamagahara.

The main god of the first Heavenly Nest represented the root of the universe and the master who dominated the center of Takamagahara, and then the god of the High Birth Nest and the God of Birth Nest were relative to the Yin and Yang instruments, and these three gods were the "Gods of Creation", and after they were formed, they were hidden in Takamagahara.

At this time, the earth had not yet condensed, just something like a mayfly floating on the water, floating like a jellyfish. Among them, there are things like reed buds in spring, which are extremely vigorous and grow rapidly, and turn into the ancient god of Umazhi Ashiabbi and the god of the sky. These two gods and the three gods of creation in front of them are called other gods, and they are all born alone, and the image is abstract and genderless, so they are called the only gods.

After bidding farewell to the gods of Tianjin, seven generations of twelve gods were produced one after another, called the seven generations of gods ······. ”

When Dylan heard Keiji Oda's explanation, he thought to himself, "How can it be the same as the mythological books I read in the twenty-third century." ”

Oda Keiji didn't know the doubts in Dylan's heart, and continued to explain: "······ Later, the twelve main gods of the seven generations rebelled and competed with the gods before them for the position of Takamagahara. In the midst of the melee, two of the gods defeated all the gods by conspiracy. And the god who was defeated by them, after leaving Takamagahara, created a new Takamagahara in the void, and then created Yingzhou. ”

He pointed to the last mural and said, "Look, these are the two gods, Izanagi and Izanami. ”

When Dylan saw the image of the god on the mural, he already had some guesses about the origin of Yingzhou. Just as he was in his trance, the warriors searching the cave suddenly shouted.

"Your Highness! ”

When Oda and Dylan heard this, they ran over and came to a room where they saw several samurai gathered around a square stone platform.

This platform is no more than two feet high, and the lower one foot is embossed with the image of a hundred demons and demons, and the upper one foot is four curved pillars. The heads of the four pillars are carved into four different monster heads, and on top of the head is a huge orb.

Keiji Oda's eyes lit up when he saw this orb, and then he hurriedly took two quick steps, reaching out and grabbing the orb in his hand.
