Chapter 30: A New Destination

The battle between the Kujo family and the shogunate was completely over. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Kujo Takanobu also successfully married the Eagle Family's Imuko, and was saved from going into exile in China again.

The funeral of the Eagle Sidong family was placed after the two got engaged, and it was publicized that they died of food poisoning. The evil fairy didn't continue to interfere, and very happily took Kujo Takashin into the Eagle Division's house, and deliberately performed a scene of eating puffer fish by mistake at a banquet. The corpses that were left behind in camouflage with straw and cotton cloth were all done decently.

In the blink of an eye, in September, the Kujo family regained its strength, and the shogunate suffered a lot of damage due to many monsters, and the ministers of Kyoto quickly formed a new force. Even the old Ashikaga general, who was immortal, showed favor to the Kujo family and asked the new heir to give the word in front of the new heir, Motofu, and the emperor had to bring up the matter of marrying Mayuki again, which was a move to win over the Kujo family and Kujo Takanobu. He really didn't have any interest in Lori, and he was more concerned about his teacher, the Eagle Sidong family, who died suddenly.

Everything is peaceful again, and Emmivi and Elias have a hunch that they will not gain anything by staying in Japan.

"Good morning, Miss Sixteen Nights. Although my master recommended that I call you by your real name, 'Emmy', it is difficult to learn your Westerners' pronunciation. ”

A woman with fox features emerging from the crack came out with a large stack of books. "The other one isn't here?"

"Elise, he's heard that there's a new wandering ninja in Kyoto. I rushed to ask for a skill early in the morning. Emmivia, who was refining potions, stopped stirring and closed the lid of the pot, while the maid who helped next to her continued to watch over the heat.

"What's the matter?Lord Sage looking for Elise?" Emmyvi has been idle these days and has started the witch's compulsory potion refining again, but with the little witch common sense she inherited purely by blood, all the things that come out of the brewing place have become poison. It only takes a few drops to poison a frog, which is very different from the original expected healing medicine. And the smell is not good, if it weren't for the order of Kujou Xiaoxin, these servants would have been lazy and ran away.

The fox god tucked the scroll back into his sleeve, leaving only a black book in the Western style. "The Sage asked me to look for clues about your companion's surname. I found the surname 'Scarlet' in a book from the Duchy of the Franks. ”

Unlike Emmive, who remembers about her origins, Elias only has an amulet with her name written on it and vampire blood. It would be a good thing if Elias could find his family and return to his hometown.

While the two were talking, someone who was absent happened to be back.

Dressed in nightwear, Elith jumped in succession and quickly appeared in the courtyard to the north from outside the mansion. Having mastered the ninja's set of cornice-walking flower shelves, Elias's unusual learning talent made Emmivi marvel at it. She didn't bother to learn useless techniques, and ninjas relied more on confusing others, which didn't match the straightforward way of killing people that Emmyway believed in.

"What are you talking about? It can't be Emmyway's potion, is it? It's a great poison to kill, and I recommended it to a few ninja friends, and they all said it worked well. Wipe it on a throwing knife, and after hitting it, it only takes 2 minutes for ordinary people to become poisonous. However, there is no antidote, and it is a bit limited to use. ”

What Emmivi wanted to create was a potion for healing trauma, not a poison that could kill people in a matter of minutes, although she did the latter, and did it very well.

"Shikigami-sama turned your last name in a Western book. So I came here to inform you. ”

Seeing that the main master was also coming, the fox god opened the French book in his hand and turned to the page where he had a bookmark. "At the beginning of this page, the author of the book mentions the 'Scarlett' family. However, because the author was a Frank and did not know much about the enemy on the other side of the sea, he mainly recorded information from his captives. ”

Emmivi and Elise looked at the pages full of French, neither of them knew each other, and there were no pictures in the books, just like reading a book from heaven.

The fox god saw that the two did not understand French, so he pointed to the location of the original text and began to pick out the key points, "From this paragraph, the author learned from the mouths of his colleagues who retreated in defeat that a group of powerful and vicious-looking 'demons' appeared in the camp of England, and after confirmation by the clergy, they were determined to be vampires. Skipping to the seventh paragraph, the author learns from captured English soldiers that the vampires were hired to fight. English captives describe the daily activities of some vampires in the barracks. Crucially, at the end of the paragraph, the captives mention that the leader of this group of vampire mercenaries is a man known as the 'Earl of Scarlett'. ”

Emmivi saw that the fox-like god was pointing at a particular English word, and it was indeed "Scarlett".

The author of the book then began to investigate in curiosity. Recorded in ......" fox flipped back a few pages and continued to translate the above record. "It is mentioned here that vampires do not have a great need for human blood, and that most of them use animal blood or red wine instead. Then the point came. ”

The fox god points directly to a text that seems inconspicuous to others. "Again, there is a reference to 'Scarlet', which says that the Scarlet family was a new family on the English continent, probably in the north of England. For his heroic performance in the invasion of France, he was rewarded with land and titles by the third King Edward. The author's bias is not less credible than other relevant information about the size of the territory. At the end, the author also describes the scene of 'Earl Scarlett' eating human flesh in a vivid way, which is completely inconsistent with the previous account. Probably this author had direct contact with the other party and suffered a big loss. ”

"So, Mr. Elith is likely to be a descendant of this family of British vampires. I've researched more than 1,000 books mentioning vampires in a few days, and only this one has the surname 'Scarlet' in black and white. Presumably the odds are very high. The fox god shoved the book into Elith's hand and leaped back to the crack. "That's it, and my master feels more than ninety percent sure. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Incidentally, the book was completed 80 years ago. ”

Seeing the fox god leave, Elias glanced at the French book in his hand that he couldn't read half a word, except for the fox god just now, it is estimated that he can't find another person who knows any French in all of Japan. "I'm from England? Amyway, do you know where that country is, is it farther away than China and Japan?"

One is in the East 9th District, and the other is in the Central Time Zone, and it will take nearly a day to ride a flying machine that can carry 100 people in Emmiwei's future memory.

"It's a long way, and if you take a boat, it will take about a year. ”

A year did not disappoint Elias, he learned from Fujiwara Meihong's mouth that he was already 100 years old, and vampires, as immortals, were theoretically easy to exceed 1000 years old.

"It's only been a year, and if you can actually see my family, it's not a long time. Elias seemed to have made up his mind to go to England to find his people, and returned to his lodgings alone without asking Emmivi about the progress of the new potions she was making.

When it's time for each to set off, one is a witch with a deep blood feud, and the other is a vampire who has lost his memory, and it is a magical thing to meet in the eastern land.

Kujo Takanobu was eager to keep the two until after he got married, but there were no ships to sail far in the winter, and Emmivi and Elias had to leave in the fall, or else they would have to wait until after April of the following year.

At the end of October, Elias and Emmiwe boarded a merchant ship returning to China, ready to find a foreign ship in China bound for their destination.

Neither of them brought gold, silver, jewelry, or anything with them, and although the Kujo family gave them a very generous commission, they didn't need money. With the values of these two killers, anything that doesn't fit in your pocket can be thrown away.

The two selected a few children from among the orphans on the streets of Kyoto who had a talent for assassination, and asked them to learn the assassination skills of the two and serve as bodyguards for Kujou Takanobu. The surname "Sixteen Nights" made up by Amy Wei Hu also became the surname of these children, and she couldn't understand why she gave her surname to make these little children happy for days. The two of them only thought of teaching others the art of killing in order to relieve their boredom.

The merchant ship slowly sailed out of the harbor and said goodbye to Kujo Takannobu and the others who had come to see them off, and their trip to Toei ended.

On board, Emmivi leaned alone against the stern mast, enjoying the comfortable afternoon breeze. It wasn't far from the shore, and the sea breeze was warm, so Emmiway slowly closed her eyes and dozed off.

"Little witch, long time no see. The silver spider slid down the silk and landed beside Emmyway, and a human voice came from it.

Emmivi immediately took a few alert steps back, her eyes fixed on the silver spider. "You're the Great Witch of Siloca?"

"Yes, the spider in front of you is the messenger I use to communicate. Don't be afraid, I'm here to give you a word of advice, remember to go to Florence, that place is the only country in the whole Italian state that is controlled by a witch. And your family is in Florence, so your good fortune won't show you again and again. Thanks to me, if you were a different witch, you've been made into a specimen by now. ”

"Remember, be sure to go to Florence. I will tell your family to pick you up, and don't do anything out of the ordinary in the Church's sphere of influence. Boost your magic level as soon as possible, I'll be waiting for you in the Black Forest Senate. ”

The spider dissolves into dust and decomposes, leaving no visible traces. The whole process only lasted a few seconds, and even the sailors around them didn't realize that there was a witch's envoy on the ship.

The journey belonging to Emmiwei has just begun, no longer as a killer, but as the widow of the great witch to return to the world that originally belonged to her, and welcome the unknown life of a witch.
