Chapter 1 Departure
Ku is called. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as she heard the name, Emmiway seemed to smell a sign of opportunity, the Kujo family in the 15th century was not doing well, and at this time when Japan's northern and southern dynasties were unified, it seemed that what they urgently needed was to stabilize their position.
On May 10, Bron and Shen San had already left separately, and Chen Yanhong came to thank them and gave a few people a lot of money and goods. She was also a sensible woman, and instead of telling the secret of Emmyway's terrible witchcraft, she gave the credit to someone else. Anyway, the corpses were buried in the desert by them afterwards, and the earth fort was also killed and wounded under the attack of the Ming army later, and no one would know that Emmyway was a witch.
Just a few days ago, Emmivi suddenly changed her mind and wanted to work with Elias for Elisa's friends. Elias himself had no opinion, but his friend was overjoyed, saying that he was going to visit him today to show his sincerity.
Emmivi also has her own considerations, as far as she is currently in shape, as long as she steps into the power of Christianity, she will definitely be found to be a heretic, and if she wants to go to the Holy Roman Empire, with the current transportation technology, there are only two ways, starting from here and walking directly with the caravan from the Western Regions along the Silk Road, across half of the Eurasian continent. Basically out of Asia, it has reached the sphere of influence of Christianity, and there is basically no witch power in Eastern Europe. The other way is to go east to the large port cities, cross the Strait of Malacca by boat, and travel through the Indian Ocean to Venice and other places, with the destination being the Mediterranean. It is the area where Christian rule is most concentrated, and if no one answers, it is also a very dangerous option.
Therefore, she felt that it was best not to step into the sphere of influence of Christianity until she had the strength to protect herself. And when I went to Dongying, in addition to giving myself time to master the black arts, I could also try my luck by the way. After all, Elias's friend dared to engrave nine family crests on his jade pendant, and nine times out of ten he was the direct descendant of the Japanese Kujo family.
The guys at the inn saw that there were visitors, and hurriedly beckoned them in, and Elias had already ordered them in advance.
"Is it Mr. Wang?"
There were quite a few people coming, and next to Eli's friend stood six men who looked like bodyguards, each armed and neatly dressed.
"Brother Wang, you are here. Elias had finally changed his dressing habits, and now that he had money, he was dressed like a young businessman in a grosgrain hanfu.
Elias threw a few taels of silver to the shopkeepers, and the men immediately understood, and left their sight without looking back. And the four of Elisi's friend's bodyguards also consciously walked out of the door, leaving only two shorter ones.
"I'll return this jade pendant to you first. Let's talk about the important things. ”
After a few people were seated, Emmivi came down from the upper floor.
"This is ......"
Elias's friend is fluent in Chinese, and if Elias hadn't mentioned that he was from Dongying, Emmiwei wouldn't have believed it. At a glance, this young man in his twenties was no different from the Han people walking on the street outside.
"She's the killer who escaped with her, Emmiway. Don't underestimate her. ”
Elias hadn't told his friend about Emmyway's knowledge of the Dark Arts, and trust didn't mean he could say everything.
"Honored, honored. In the bottom, Wang Minlong. Dongying people. Both of these are personal bodyguards that I brought out, and they are very reliable. ”
Dongying, who is pseudonym Wang Minlong, is about the same height as Emmiwei, who is in her early 150s, but she looks very enthusiastic, and it is enough to be a businessman
"くじょうさん (Mr. Kujo)?"
Wang Minlong was taken aback by the first words of Emmyway's words, it was the first time he had seen a Westerner who could speak Japanese. What's more, Elihath is only sixteen years old, and Emmivi looks a little younger.
"You know Japanese?"
"A little bit understood. ”
There is no need to ask, Wang Minlong also understands these truths, since there is Eli's guarantee, his skills will not be bad, and his credibility will not be low.
"Alright then, let's reintroduce it below. 敝surname Kujo, くじょうたかのぶ (Kujo filial piety). ”
In this era, the person who can be surnamed Kujo will not be an ordinary person. Emmivi casually walked over to the table and released a black fire in her hand. "I'm a little worse than Elias, but I know a bit of Western sorcery. I don't know if you're satisfied. ”
"No, no. As long as it's a strange person, it's the person I need. I'm not doubting your strength, Emmyway. ”
Once Emmyway was seated, Kujou Takanobu finally began to talk about his commission.
In the final analysis, the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is not good news for the Kujo family, especially now that the Kujo clan has passed the glorious period of 200 years ago, and now they are still on the wrong team, even if the general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu lets them go, some enemies want to suppress and kill the Kujo family. Therefore, when people are forced to be in a hurry, they want to do something that is not fatal, as long as they don't die first, they can still sit in the pavilion and drink tea and become a nobleman.
“...... The details are not easy to say here. This time, although it is the fate of our family, there is still a chance to change our lives. Therefore, I hope to summon strange people and strange people, and I am willing to prepare a thousand gold, but ask for help. ”
After an afternoon of conversation, Emmiwei could see that this Kujou Takashin was a very trustworthy person, and he was not a patron but a friend of Elias, explaining the danger on the one hand, and worrying that Elias would not go to Japan on the other hand. It is very rare for a businessman to make a mistake in his position.
"Brother Wang means not just to keep you safe. ”
"My personal safety is not important, as long as I can save my family, I can do anything. Saying that, Kujou Takashin compared the killing action. "I know that both of you are excellent killers, so I hope to use your abilities in this area. ”
As if worried that Elias and Emmyvi had misunderstood, Kujou Takanobu hurriedly added a few words. "Rest assured, you are all my friends. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to support it. When the two of you arrive in Japan, you will be the guests of my Kujo family. If the sky does not die, my Kujo family, then the gold will be given according to the car. ”
At this point, Emmivi and Elias both nodded in agreement. The first thing a killer values is the employer's credit, there is only one life, and you can't help but worry about being stabbed in the back to make money.
"Since the two of you are willing to help. My convoy will depart in the east of the city tomorrow morning. We will look forward to you. ”
Emmivi had very little to prepare, and most of her knowledge of the Dark Arts had to be cultivated with cumbersome rituals and strange materials. It's like her previous summoning of the undead, and what came back to life was nothing more than a few fragile zombies, using the freshly dead corpse of a sturdy man. Replace them with the kind of waste zombies that any adult can knock down with one punch, which is why Emmiway uses them as disposables.
It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, the life span of a witch is extended with the growth of strength, the beginner kind can live past 150 years old, learn the magic of eating insects, and live for centuries without aging, if the body really can't hold on, being a lich or a demon or something will really be immortal.
Emmyway, who has awakened the witch's bloodline by leaps and bounds, is not the kind of person who is ambitious, she has time.
In her dreams, Emmiway saw a lot of new things that she had never seen before, the future after 600 years, and the history recorded in the books, all of which slowly became Emmiway's knowledge. Witches don't have any requirements for physical fitness, what they want is the ability to use magic, and their rich knowledge capacity can also provide a lot of useful information for future cultivation.
――――
The next day, ready Emmiway and Elias left the inn early in the morning, and the two walked out of the inn with cloth wrapped in their hair and coats. Although there are many foreigners to see in this western city, Emmivi and Elias don't want to get into unnecessary trouble. The two are still young enough to protect themselves with their appearance.
"Kujou filial piety?
Emmyvi also told Elias about her ability to speak Japanese, much to Elias' delight. Before he learned Japanese, someone could act as a translator or a companion he could trust.
"It's a long way to Dongying, and you can learn slowly on the way. "The identity of Kujou Takashin, which Emmivi cares about, is currently just a big trader in the Chamber of Commerce, but in her opinion, it will not be so simple. "Your friend is quite punctual, and there is still a little time before Shen Shi, and he is ready. ”
The caravans gathered in the west of the city were not large, but many of the people in them did not look like they were doing business.
"You're here. Coincidentally, I also had the paperwork ready. Let's go now?" Kujo Takanobu, who was standing by the carriage, saw the two people in their coats walking over, and immediately knew who it was, and hurriedly greeted them warmly and led the two into his carriage.
"Don't be surprised, I'm not a serious businessman. They are all my subordinates, in charge of guarding. ”
"You're not coming back in the future?" Elias saw Kujo Takanobu's plan, don't look at the little ones he brought, but many of them are valuable things.
"Yes, if it is successful, I will stay in my hometown and enjoy the glory and wealth. If I fail, I hope Elith will set up a tombstone for me. Kujou Takanobu said it lightly, but it was just to ease the atmosphere, and only he knew the bitterness.
By the time we arrived in Dongying, it was estimated that it was already the beginning of spring. During the Ming Dynasty, to go to Dongying, there was basically only one way from Dalian in the north, which meant that you had to take a carriage for more than a month. Think of the vicious men outside the carriage, many of whom were riding horses or sitting in wagons, bumpy along the way. Emmivi has nothing to complain about, after all, this is the Ming Dynasty in the early fifteenth century.
“...... That's right, cherry blossoms. The sight of cherry blossoms lining the streets can only be seen for a few days in spring. It's very beautiful, if only we could sit under the tree and enjoy wine together. It's enjoyable to think about. Elias, maybe you'll love staying in my hometown. ”
During the introduction of Kujou Takanobu along the way, Emmiwei gradually fell asleep with sleepiness.
[The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, so I'm looking forward to it.] 】
