Chapter 14: The Witch's Suspicions

Unlike Elias, who learned a set of Japanese ninja skills so quickly and used them well, Emmyway's impression of ninjas so far is only scattered fragments of future memories. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In her opinion, it was always an ancient agent, the ninjas of the Kujou family, and Amy Weiguang was enough to throw them two streets away with her assassination skills. She doesn't think there is anything mysterious about ninjas in her heart, and it's not exaggerated enough to use ninjutsu in literary works.

"It's easy to find out. ”

"If it can be discovered, it means that the Eagle Division family has a big problem. ”

After Elith finished speaking, he followed the rope and slid directly to the roof of the Eagle Division's residence, and Emmyvi thought about it, since she didn't know how to fly magic, she just had to learn from Elith and slid to the opposite side.

The two of them pressed their steps, confirmed the location of the room where the Eagle Sidong family was roughly resting, and climbed onto the top of the tile.

"Are you sure it's here?"

"Shall I try?"

Emmivi reached out and pressed it against a tile, quietly radiating the magic of darkness. After more than half a year of study, it is not difficult for Emmivi to use black magic to detect the situation within a few meters.

"That's right, the Eagle Sidong family sleeps right under us. In the next room were a couple of maids. The guards and retainers are probably also on the first floor. ”

There is not much difference between the two residences, but the Kujo family is relatively high. Since ancient times, the Eagle Division family has ranked last among the five photographers, and the Kujo family has begun to decline in the past ten years, and the Eagle Division family has not improved much.

In the event of an assassination, the two of them could break through the roof and kill their sleeping target with a few swords. But since it is an investigation, it must be done so that it is not discovered and does not leave traces.

Elias looked at the eaves, turned around, and clinged firmly to the window. And Emmyway threw a silent magic on the window, pushing the window open too slowly, since there was magic to use, Elias didn't mind at all.

Emmivi then went into the house, which didn't seem to be of any use at first glance, after all, it was used once a year, and a few simple household items were enough.

Elias had apparently noticed something, and he pointed his finger at the futon of the Eagle Sidong family. Emmiwei also noticed the problem, although the Eagle Sidong family was asleep, there was still a hairpin next to her futon. Speaking of which, the Eagle Sidong family seems to like hairpins very much, and Emmivi got this information from her retainers during the day.

Because the Ying Sidong family had their backs to the window, the two of them couldn't see the faces of the Ying Sidong family clearly, but according to the smell and shape, they could basically determine that the woman sleeping in front of them was the Ying Sidong family.

Elith was a man who did what he thought of, and he took a few steps forward, trying to get closer to the hairpin that lay next to the futon of Eagle Sidong's house.

The whole body is golden yellow, slightly longer than the hairpin of ordinary women's coiled hair, and the tip is sharp, but not as sharp as the spikes. The long pole is decorated with no floral ornamentation, and the tail is a peony flower that is about to unfold, with two strings of gold beads embellished.

Assuming it's made of pure gold, it's also a priceless treasure. But Elias didn't think it was made of gold at first glance, a non-reflective gold, obviously not a pure metallic texture.

[This is the ...... Nephrite texture. Golden nephrite?This can't be?!] Elias was very careful, and from a distance of half a meter, he found a problem with the material of the hairpin. Golden jade could not exist in Japan.

Emmivi noticed another problem, the room had a smell that she hadn't smelled in the morning. Normally, the incense in the room will not be changed often, especially the 40-year-old "girl" of the Ying Sidong family, who is also commonly used by high-ranking officials and nobles. But as soon as she entered the room, she began to smell another scent.

A not-so-normal scent, and the source is in the cabinet.

Gesturing to Elith, Emmivi walked over to the cabinet and quietly opened it with the magic that came in.

It looked like something ordinary inside, but it didn't escape Emmivia's eyes, and it took almost two seconds for her to find a clay pot hidden under the partition, as if someone had just used it, and the clay seal had been opened. The strange fragrance comes from the clay pot.

[This is ......?flower powder?]

Emmiwei didn't dare to open it, and used her fingernails to pry open a little gap, only to find that inside was a jar of carefully processed powder from flowers. It is very profitable to put it in the market, but in the eyes of large households, it is commonly used cosmetics, but no one will prepare a big can.

The two items of hairpin and smoked powder, I can't give more information, maybe it's just the personal hobby of the Eagle Sidong family. For Elias, the most important thing in the investigation is to go through the subject's letters, where many of the needed clues are there.

The two of them carefully retreated to the bookcase, which did have paper, but unfortunately, the Eagle Sidong family only wrote two scarlet poems, as well as a record of the hunting scenery, and a letter to the retainers and other powerful ministers.

Emmivi and Elias looked through it and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Undoubtedly, it can only prove that the Eagle Sidong family is a very ordinary aristocratic family head. wasted such a big effort, but it turned out that the other party was likely to really want to side with the Kujo family and gain political benefits. Both Elith and Emmiway couldn't help but feel impatient, and as good killers, they would never think their instincts were wrong. But you can't wake up the Eagle Sidong family now and torture it, right?

The two thought about it, and in the end they could only put the blame on Kujou Takanbu who did not distrust the Takaji family, and they can now not investigate the Takaji family. In the eyes of the two of them, the shogunate's onmyoji, the Dochimon Matsuko, is the big trouble, and if a politician really stabs him in the back, then they will use a dagger to prove who is an expert.

————

The next day, the hunt continued.

This time, it was Eli's turn to act with Kujou Takashin, and Emmivi was temporarily responsible for protecting the safety of her retainers and Mayuki. No matter whether the other shogunate dares to mess around or not, as long as someone guards it, there is always a guarantee.

Emmivi was also happy to be idle, and yesterday she walked around the woods, and she found that the so-called hunting was very boring, and that a few hares could be used as trophies by this group of magnates, and it was thought that they had come to participate in the hunt for some purpose.

"Sister Sixteen Nights. I'd like to hear your story. ”

Emmiwei is just idle to tell Zhenxue some interesting future stories in memory fragments, Zhenxue doesn't look young, curiosity is not small. I can't listen to some Western fairy tales with her, but I am interested in telling some myths and legends. It's also thanks to Emmivy that she deliberately avoided ethical issues, otherwise whether it is Norse mythology or Greek mythology, it is best for children not to understand.

"Odin drank the water of the Well of Wisdom, and then how did he become the main god? Mayuki wants to know. ”

A few retainers next to him were in a fog, for these elderly people, Emmyvi talked too mysteriously, not to mention what is the use? What the hell is Valhalla? When people die, they should ascend to Buddha or go to hell. Because of Emmivia's identity, these retainers didn't dare to talk much. Anyway, Zhenxue is not ranked in the family, if it weren't for Kujou Takashin's love for this sister. Now I have already made a marriage contract with some excellent noble son.

There are a few women who can become the head of the family like the Eagle Sidong family and give lectures to the emperor.

The sun hasn't risen overhead yet, and Emmiwei has already spoken with a dry mouth, and the questions asked by Mayuki are very detailed, and it's not too simple to find loopholes in things like mythology. is also thanks to Emmyway's huge knowledge capacity, and the current editor is also handy.

"Zhenxue-chan is so powerful, and among the students my aunt has taught, there are few who are as smart as Zhenxue-chan. ”

Before the sound came, it was mainly Emmyway who sat opposite Zhenxue, and she didn't look back and heard the footsteps of the Eagle Sidong family. Someone came to take care of the child for her, and it was too late for Emmiway to thank her. As for going to check the water meter with Elise last night, she had long since forgotten about it.

"Thank you, aunt, for the compliment. My aunt is a talented woman. Zhenxue likes to read her aunt's scarlet sentences the most. ”

"The little girl's mouth is so sweet. Come here. Naturally, no one in the Eagle Sidong family dared to stop her, she walked between the two of them generously, beckoned, and Zhenxue leaned over obediently. "Aunt just sent someone to make a lamb in the morning, and you're hungry, right?"

Imuko, who was following behind, was carrying a food box with a faint smell of sugar in it. Mayuki immediately followed Imuko to the side to eat lamb. Only then did Emmiway realize that the other party had come to find her.

"Miss Sixteen Nights. is worthy of being a beauty from the Ming Kingdom, with both talent and appearance. I said it a little bit yesterday, right, there are three points of Kaguyahime. ”

When Emmiwei heard this sentence again, she always felt that there was something in the other party's words. But she couldn't think of anything.

"You have won the prize, but it is just some market history, and you can't get on the big stage. ”

Emmiway's most troublesome thing is to talk to smart people, especially sophisticated politicians, even if Emmiway's knowledge reserves are comparable to several libraries, but it is always a dead book. Just like now, the Eagle Sidong family sat on the cushion in front of Mayuki. She didn't know how to deal with the smiling woman in front of her.

"Since Miss Sixteen Nights insists on being modest. Don't talk about that. What kind of men does Miss Sixteen Nights like?"

Emmiwei had just taken a sip of brewed tea, when the other party's sudden question made her almost squirt. What does it matter to the complex emotions between mortal men and women due to hormonal secretion? Not to mention that she is a witch, the need for love between men and women is far less than the pursuit of magical attainments. The killer training she received since she was a child has no emotional education at all, and in her eyes, people she doesn't know are similar to other insects, birds, and beasts, and killing is just a life. Especially love, family affection can barely understand a little, love and the like, she doesn't understand the knowledge reserves in her empty mind.

As many questions as Mayuki asked just now, Emmyway could answer them immediately, facing the casual questions of the Eagle Sidong family. Emmivia's brain crashed directly, she has borrowed a huge amount of knowledge to deal with problems since her resurrection, and the questions she can't think about are tantamount to a blow to her brain.

"I don't understand. Holding back the pain in her head, Emmiway replied angrily.
