Chapter 67 Pointing the Fingers
(Thanks to Bandaru for your tips and support)
"There was no bloodshed, no revolution, no New Deal, isn't there a very nice city? I really want Xia You to come over and learn the management style of the head of the cute girl.。 Lyle and his party enjoyed dinner at the top of one of the towering wooden stakes that form the barrier of Sakura New Town, a few hundred meters above the bustling city.
Ru Ang, who had extended the dispute with Evangeline to the tablecloth and won a phased victory, floated over and hugged Lyle and asked with a smile: "Master, isn't this a very ordinary city...... Hmm, it's a little quieter than Tokyo and Kyoto? ”
Xiao Lin prefers quiet cities, while both Ruon and Lyle prefer bustling cities, which can be defined as shortcomings.
"In this period of tearing through the lies of the old era and rushing into the new era, [ordinary] is rare~"
"Is that so?"
Although Lyle spends most of his time in Ma Fan Liang Academy, the maids who travel and patrol will bring back information from abroad, and he knows a little bit about what is going on around the world now.
As for Ru Ang, her daily life can be summarized as 'getting tired of being with Lyle', 'digging a pit to deal with Xiao Lan', 'fighting Angela for 300 rounds', 'preventing Evangeline from turning from arrogant to coquettish', 'petting cats', and basically doesn't take the initiative to care about current affairs.
Of course, as an elf, maybe Ruang's style is normal.
"Let's put it this way, even in Kyoto, where the mountain is suppressed by me and all forces have to coexist peacefully, the relationship between humans and youkai is not so harmonious, so you can see how good they are at Gun Sakurahime." Lyle gave an example that even Ruang could understand.
Xiao Lan on the other side interjected: "...... Master, I don't seem to see yokai very often on the streets of Kyoto? ”
"This is the result of a discussion between Mu Noka's father and the general of Kyoto Yokai, humans are in charge of the day, and the yokai are in charge of the night, half of which is mutual cooperation, and half of which is that the river water does not interfere with the well water." Lyle shook his head as he spoke, clearly disapproving.
"No wonder ......" Xiao Xuan suddenly realized that she was guarding the moon sky, but it did not mean that she was nocturnal, and she was where Lyle was, so she missed the active time of Kyoto Youkai.
Ru Ang continued, "Isn't that good? ”
"Really? You must know that the most serious manifestation of racial discrimination is 'segregation'. Lyle shook his finger, "Admittedly, this is much stronger than other areas where the conflict between humans and youkai has intensified, but it is still a little less interesting...... If no major changes occur along the way, according to the system development of the two places, the cultural conditions of Kyoto and Sakurajin Town will be very different in 100 years. ”
It is about the gap between the outdated ancient capital and the emerging city, one goes downhill and becomes a tourist city while walking, and the other goes uphill and becomes an economic and cultural center while walking.
Xiao Ling thought for a moment and tried to ask, "Can you promote the system of Sakura Zhen Town?" ”
"Preach? No, you misunderstood. "This time there is no need to mention the principle of non-intervention of the elves, "In fact, this is the same as the imperial system of ancient human society, the system itself is very flawed, it all depends on how the top people play, a virtuous monarch will develop rapidly, and a faint monarch will decline rapidly." It's just that in the new era, the monarch can live for a long time, and a virtuous monarch can cover up all the flaws in the system. ”
“…… Virtuous Gentleman. Xiao Lu didn't think that Xianjun was so easy to find, and she couldn't even be sure that the previous master she served 1600 years ago belonged to Xianjun.
Ru Ang couldn't help but say, "Isn't it a disadvantage for human beings to suffer like this? ”
The curse has no lifespan limit, youkai are born with a long lifespan, only humans have a short lifespan, and even such a powerful ancient onmyoji as King Macang Ye can only control reincarnation and curve through the Taishan Mansion Jun Sacrifice to achieve immortality.
Lyle shook his head and said: "Don't forget, this is a new era, human beings were only depleted by spiritual energy in the past, but technology has been improving, and sooner or later someone will master the art of immortality." ”
To be honest, compared to some of the procedures that Lyle has mastered, the technique of rejuvenating the aging body at the cellular level is low.
At present, it seems that Iiri Glass is limited by talent, and it is a little difficult to do this, but Konoe Munoka is different, it is simply a matter of time.
“…… I thought that Xia Youjie's new policy would be needed to open up a new path for the world, but I didn't expect to meet another hope here. Overlooking the night view of the city, Lyle smiled slightly, and instructed the human maid who was quietly accompanying him, "Angela, on the grounds that I need to purchase materials from youkai to build equipment, open a small shop in Sakura Town, send maids to be on duty in shifts, and pay attention to the price, quantity, and type when purchasing materials, and there is no killing without buying and selling, this is not something to be said casually." ”
"Yes, master." Angela knew very well what this little shop meant, and she didn't dare to take it lightly.
》》》》》》》
For Lyle, preparing for a successor in a thousand years is the only thing to do, and the rest of the time can be spent like a retired old man.
But for the other big names, the most important thing right now is to prepare for the Elf King Contest in a year's time, and everyone wants to seize the opportunity to change the future. The first step in the preparation of the event is the selection of competitors and reserve participants, followed by intensive training, and finally the gathering of resources to arm the teeth.
How are the contestants selected?
Most countries will adopt the form of competitive competitions, and the results will be used as the qualification for judging strength, but in country R, the situation is slightly different -
"No, no, none of the reincarnated ones are useful." Satoru Gojo, who watched the race with his feet resting on the back of his seat in front of him, was the sole judge who decided the eligibility of the participants.
"What, didn't Zhuye win?!" The reincarnated schoolgirl said stupidly.
The reincarnated female student Ah Ju echoed: "I really can't accept this result, Zhuye didn't use his strength at all. ”
"First of all, I don't discriminate against reincarnators, I just think that if you play, it's just a life to give away points." Gojo Satoru stretched out his hand and pointed to the macho high school student who had already been selected by him as a contestant and came to watch the game at the Reincarnation Academy out of curiosity, "Dongtang, you go and compete with him." ”
"It's okay, I'm sleepy after watching a boring round of games, so let's move my body a little." The macho Todo Aoi jumped into the arena and habitually grabbed his white shirt, intending to perform a tearing performance.
"By the way, you don't need to move your body, let's deal with him with one blow." Gojo Satoru said to stop him from tearing his clothes, "After that, we have to go to the Asakura family, I heard that the reincarnation of King Macang Ye in this life also has a twin brother, although he is a salted fish, but the potential is extraordinary, I will leave the job of beating him bloody to you." ”
"The younger brother of an SSS-level Onmyoji? Yes, I'm on fire! Aoi Todo laughed, and then beckoned to Gray Village Moyaha, who had been on the field since the victory, "Hurry up, boy." ”
“…… Kid or something, you're underage too, okay. Listening to Gojo Satoru's unbridled conversation with Todo Aoi, Gray Village Moriba, who didn't care too much about the competition, was also provoked to anger.
Gray Village Mochiha glanced at Gojo Satoru in the audience, condensed his magic power, and stretched out his finger to write ancient words: "Since you are so confident, then I will be serious and chant-"
"There is purgatory in the underworld, there is a prairie fire on the earth, and the flame equally burns all the good and evil chaos in order to purify it with fierce compassion."
Todo Aoi has dead fish eyes and scratches her rough face.
"O all sentient beings, return to the skull after death. God has forsaken humanity, and the decadent world has come to an end. ”
Aoi Todo yawned.
"The trumpet is blown, and the hour of judgment comes."
Aoi Tomdo impatiently struck the ground with the sole of her right foot.
"Fifth Stage Ancient Magic - Black Rope Hell!" After finally reciting the incantation, the left hand of the Gray Village Zhuye condensed a black flame of non-earthly things, "It's not over yet!" ”
The Gray Village Zhuye, who has two memories of the ancient era, pressed the black flame on the love sword, giving birth to a move that only belongs to him, "Taiji Burning Sky - Demon Descending Sword!" ”
"Drink, ah!" Gray Village Zhuye jumped high off the ground, raised the long sword with a three-meter-long karmic fire, and slashed out a huge sword aura mixed with black and white towards Dongtang Aoi below.
"In terms of power alone, it is estimated that only the B bone can defend it, right? It's a pity ......" Seeing the sword qi approaching, Dongtang Aoi didn't take precautions or dodge, but just slapped his hands.
(Smack!) )
In the next second, a big crater was blown out of the training ground under a loud bang and white and black flashes.
"Great! Hit! Dumb raised his arms and shouted.
Ah Ju shook his head and smiled: "Huh...... The onmyoji of the old era was too arrogant to dare to take the Demon God Sword hard. ”
"Oh ~ Is the magic of the fifth stage so powerful? The thirteen-stage forbidden spell can still be expected. Satoru Gojo, who appeared between the two, spoke.
"Wow!" Frightened, the two of them retreated like lightning.
Satoru Gojo gave a thumbs up to his companion who was sitting upright in the referee's seat: "Singer~ I changed my mind!" The main contestant is not in the turn, and being a spare tire turret-type mage is still qualified, and it can play a role against specific opponents. ”
“…… Let's talk about if he survives. An Ge Ji launched the basic spell, blowing away the explosion smoke, revealing the figure of a young man who had been scorched all over his body, and said sideways, "Dongtang, you should have activated the spell a second earlier, so that he has time to defend urgently." ”
"Releasing water in battle is not a man's way of doing things!" Aoi Todo, who appeared in the original location of the leaves of the gray village, raised his head and said.
"Moba!?" Only then did Dumb and Ju realize the most important thing, and hurriedly rushed over, trying to extinguish the black flames that were still burning him.
"Dongtang's talent technique is [Injustice Game], and the effect is as you can see, just change the position." Gojo Satoru shrugged his shoulders at the group of reincarnated students on the sidelines, "Boys, if you still want to participate in the next Elf King Competition, fight for glory for yourself, and contribute a little to the country, I strongly recommend that you simplify your technique...... The phrase 'I remembered' is not enough, times are advancing, and the original ancient magic is outdated. ”
