Ten characters of the great thousand birds.

Phoenix Twin Blades.

In the basement, under the dim incandescent lamp overhead, Tanjuro Kamado stared with some surprise at the two Kyoto Supreme Knife Twelve Craftsmen forged by the ancestors of Kamato on the anvil in front of him, and his eyes were full of surprise that could not be concealed.

He turned his head and looked at the man in front of him who was wearing masks, sunglasses, peaked caps, and dressed a little strangely, and his voice didn't seem to be much quieter than his own.

He's an unusual guy.

Tanjuro Kamado sighed silently in his heart.

Higashino looked around at the forging room under the fisherman's house.

In addition to the anvils, there are also smelting tools such as tongs and hammers, and the ventilation and exhaust of the basement are also very good.

"Do you also have a side business of blacksmithing on weekdays?" Higashinohara couldn't help but ask.

"Not on weekdays."

Tanjuro scratched his back ridge and said with a smile, "However, the Kamato clan has ancestral teachings, and no matter where they move, their descendants must prepare a smelting room in case of emergency. ”

Hearing Tanjuro Kamado's words, Higashinohara hesitated and said, "Then these two knives of mine, are you sure to repair and reforge?" ”

"Guest, where are you?"

Tanjuro Kamado patted his chest confidently and said without thinking, "The ancestral craft of the Kamado clan, we are born swordsmiths. ”

When the words fell, I saw the tip of Tanjuro's right finger rubbed slightly, and a small red flame suddenly burned and jumped in his fingertips.

Red Flame?

Higashinohara recognized the ability of this talent sequence 31.

For a moment, he couldn't help but look at Tanjuro Kamado in surprise.

In my impression, there are very few people with the ability of this blue high-risk sequence who are as ordinary fishermen as the man in the fishing suit jumpsuit in front of him.

"Ancestors don't have the ability to awaken, they can smelt the celestial and human meteorite iron and forge the world-famous Supreme Great Quick Knife Twelve Crafts."

Tanjuro Kamado extinguished the flame on his fingertips and said with a smile, "If his descendants awaken the flame ability and can't even repair his old man's knife, it will be too unfilial." ”

"I'm sorry, I was overthinking."

Higashinohara looked at the two broken blades laid flat on the anvil, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Now that the other party has shown his ability, plus this is the address given by the dusk of [Dawn of Crimson].

Dusk's intelligence ability is doubtful, and he will never give this address to himself without complete certainty, but Higashinohara doesn't have to worry about any scams.

Next, the two parties signed a contract to make an appointment for three days to take the knife.

Higashinohara first paid a part of the deposit of 5,000 tarts for repair and recasting today, and a total of 20,000 tarts after counting the final payment, and used part of his deposit in Qihua Bank.

This price is not too expensive, and it can even be said that it is a little too affordable.

If you guess correctly, the ancestral teachings of the Stove Gate clan must also warn future generations

- All of them who can have a big fast knife are extraordinary people, and if the lion opens his mouth at a high price, then I am afraid that he will probably have his life to spend his life.

......

Upper Kyoto.

Headquarters of the Adjudication Division.

When the Empress Doroshi flew back to Beijing. When Alita re-entered the black building,

Almost from the moment she stepped through the door, she noticed a myriad of gazes falling on her.

But only for a moment.

The next second,

These sights quickly faded away.

Living in this building, everyone is very cautious, and no one will easily stand in line before the undercurrent swells into a raging wave.

Only Youdao's gaze kept falling on her shoulder.

Follow her into the building, ride the elevator together, through the packed corridors, and finally push open the door to the gloomy conference room......

Empress Doroshi. Alita met the owner of the sight.

Second Ruling Envoy.

Demon Sword Puso. Wiseman.

......

"Long time no see."

Psoe. Wiseman lazily half leaned back on the sofa in the conference room, crossed his hands in front of his knees, and showed a gentle smile on his delicate face. Alita said.

From the moment she pushed open the door of the conference room, the empress, who was close to one meter nine, saw her eyes fall on the young man who was sitting on the sofa politely, and her face was cold behind the black veil:

"As I said, the clown is my man."

Psoe. Wiseman heard that the other party didn't have any greetings, and as soon as he came up, he went straight to the point, and the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded, and he shrugged his shoulders and asked:

"So what?"

"Both the Condor Bureau and the Black-robed Enforcement Team in Tagos have stopped the hunt for the clown." Empress Doroshi. Alita said in a cold tone, "But some people still seem to be holding on, I heard that two days ago, several circuses in Baling County were bleeding overnight. ”

She said "someone".

But the gaze in the dark blue almond eyes under the veil pierced Puso like a sharp blade at Puso, who was sitting lazily on the sofa. Wiseman.

Demon Sword Puso. Wiseman quietly and Empress Doroshi. Alita looked at each other for two seconds, and suddenly a slight smile appeared on her face again.

He didn't answer the question, but lowered his gaze and said to himself:

"Everything has a price, and you say that the Joker is your man, so can I think that the assassination of my Inquisitor...

It can also be counted on your head. ”

Psoe. Wiseman's emotions were undisguised.

He didn't need any excuse like "his inquisitor fornicated with the Dawn rebels."

Taking a step back, even if this is true, then his people can only be killed by him.

Now what he thinks is that

Since someone has killed his man,

Then someone has to pay the price.

Empress Doroshi. Alita looked at the man in front of her who was most feared by the referee except for the old man who had never made a move for decades, and the aura that emanated from the other party's body like a cold viper.

took a slight breath, but her tone was still so cold and unrestrained, "The clown is my person, if you really want to count, then what if you count it on me?" ”

The voice fell,

The atmosphere in the conference room froze all at once!

Although the 12 rulings of the adjudication division are not monolithic, and there is even competition between them, they are limited to the low-order adjudication envoys below the A level.

As for the young man in front of him, with beautiful eyebrows, but the corners of his mouth were mixed with a trace of inexplicable madness and murderous intent, and he took pleasure in hunting and collecting souvenirs all day long...... Hardly any of the twelve ruling envoys were willing to touch his mold.

Today, however, the Empress Doroshi. Alita's words were full of-for-tat, and the temperature in the conference room seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant.

"Good, good."

Demon Sword Puso. Wiseman's smiling eyes were completely lost as he stared at Empress Dorohi. Alita, suddenly, shook her head gently and said:

"You're starting to feel strange to me, no... I rarely hate people, you know the consequences. ”

"Are you threatening me?"

Empress Doroshi. Alita said coldly.

"No, no, no, how can you think that?"

Demon Sword Puso. Wiseman shook his head in rejection, the corners of his mouth mixed with madness and murderous intent curled slightly, "I'm just telling you the fact that the people I dislike are far closer to death than the people who become my prey." ”

Speaking of which, Demon Knife Puso. Wiseman squinted at Doroshi. Alita, suddenly, said:

"Actually, I'm curious about what makes you have the illusion that you can go against me."

"Is it the Adjudicator's propaganda for you, the so-called 'first-day genius', that has made you lose yourself? Or are you also coveting the position of the first judge in a few years, and you want to win or lose with me in advance? Or rather..."

Demon Sword Puso. Wiseman looked at Doroshi with a smirk. Alita, said slowly:

"The 'clown' who assassinated my Inquisitor is very important to you?"

Hearing his last words, Empress Doroshi. Alita's eyebrows trembled slightly, but her mouth was still as cold as she said:

"Sheltering your own people is just a matter of the adjudicator's duty, aren't you also threatening me for the sake of Mitheus?"

"Ho-ho-ho..."

Without warning,

Demon knife Puso sitting on the sofa. Wiseman covered his face with his right hand and let out a maniacal laugh, as if he didn't expect the Empress Doroshi. Alita will give such an answer.

Immediately, he suddenly wiped his face, got up from the sofa, and walked towards the Empress Doroshi at the door of the conference room. Alita walked forward.

As he walked, he chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"Looks like you're really...

I can't wait to get tired of it. ”

Dolohi. Alita stood still without the slightest hint of panic.

After approaching, stop the demon knife Puso. Wiseman stared at Doroshi. The black veil on Alita's face.

As if to pierce the veil, the owl's gaze continued to say to himself:

"That's right, there's someone watching from there, and I'm not going to touch you right now... But you should know very well that you... It's just an investment for him, a bet with the old fox of the family behind you. ”

Pso took another step towards the door of the conference room. A playful smile appeared on the corner of Wiseman's mouth, and he raised his hand and applauded:

"You proved your worth with your talents, but 'value' is born in comparison."

"Who do you think will be more valuable to the Adjudicators in the future, you or me?"

Suddenly, I saw that I was about to pass by Pso. Wiseman turned around and put his index finger to his mouth,

In Dolohi. Alita whispered a "shhh" in her ear, and said with a grotesque smile:

"I know you have an answer in your heart."

"So,

Stay tuned for that day. ”

The bird's voice fell, and the grotesque and cold laughter lingered in his ears. Wiseman's figure had disappeared into the hallway outside the conference room.

The Empress Doroshi. Alita stood in front of the door of the conference room for a long, long time, and suddenly a bitter smile appeared under the black veil.

Her plan...

It wasn't supposed to be this way.

Originally, she also planned to maintain a "superficial colleague" relationship with that man, and wait until the [Border Gate] of Wano Country opened again, and then go to the world behind the [Border Gate] under the other party's jurisdiction to find what she needed.

But now...

Everything seems to have changed.

Do you regret being so impulsive?

Suddenly, the young man's delicate eyebrows and eyes appeared in his mind. Alita exhaled with some relief.

She knew that Higashinohara was strong,

But she knew more clearly in her heart how terrible this man known as the "Demon Knife" was, and there was only one way to die when encountered.

Then, she can come alone.

Because

He's her man.

......

evening

Kamikyo-shi Circle Barton-gun,

White Swan Harbor.

In a mid-range hotel suite, four men and one woman are crammed into the same room in front of a computer, and the atmosphere is inexplicably tense at this juncture.

Filina, the deputy captain of the executive team, glanced at the figure who had been silent all afternoon sitting in front of the computer, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"President, is there any news?"

The president of the Mithril Society, Kairutu, did not turn around, his eyes were still fixed on the list of inbound visits that he had hacked into the backstage of the Barton County Tourism Bureau.

The dorsal joints of his fingers tapped gently against the black tempered glass table next to the mouse pad,

Said expressionlessly:

"Most of these people come from different countries in the Cross Continent, and they have independent travel and group tours, and the arrival times are inconsistent, except that the names are not much different from previous years."

Hearing President Kailutu's words, the solemn atmosphere in the suite suddenly relaxed, and one of the executive team members who had been nervous all afternoon said with a smile:

"I'll just say, even if the city is closed now, don't underestimate people's enthusiasm for tourism, what's the problem..."

It's just that he was stopped by the eyes of the deputy captain Filina on the side.

"Listen to what the president has to say."

Hearing this, Kairutu turned his head and glanced approvingly at Filina, and suddenly clicked the mouse.

All of a sudden, I saw that the dozens of pages of dense entry lists on the computer desktop suddenly shrank indefinitely.

In the end, only a few dozen names were left in red, and it seems that the surnames still come from dozens of different countries.

"These people are..."

Filina asked, stunned.

Kairutu nodded quietly and said slowly, "These names are individual members of the delegations of the countries of this World Conference, and I roughly estimate that there are more than forty countries. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.

What's the situation?

There are still nearly two months to go before the World Conference, and even if you arrive half a month early, it is too early, not to mention that the "conference village" that has been receiving delegations from various countries in Beijing over the years is in Balyeong-gun, which is adjacent to Upper Kyoto.

Then some of these delegations.

Why do I arrive early? And also hide their whereabouts gathered in Barton County?

Is it really tourism?

No one in the Mithril Society's executive team was so naïve, and almost subconsciously, everyone looked at the president Kairutu who was sitting in front of the computer and frowning.

"I don't know what they're trying to do."

"But this gathering is likely to be the so-called 'Patton County Anomaly' in the mission assigned to us by the Condor Bureau. ”

"So what do we do? Do you want to report it to the Condor Bureau? Vice-captain Filina asked.

"Now? It's too early. ”

President Kairutu glanced at Filina:

"Although we all know that some members of the delegations of those countries are not as simple as tourists when they appear in the Upper Kyoto City area two months in advance, there is no evidence that they are not here for tourism."

Everyone was also a little disappointed when they heard this.

Filina pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly reacted, "What does the president mean..."

Kairutu nodded, his eyes sharpening a little, "Yes, the fact that so many individual members of the delegation have arrived in Barton County and have not left for a long time can only show one thing, and that is that they are engaged in some kind of 'waiting'. ”

"Waiting for what?" Someone asked.

"I don't know about that." President Kairutu shook his head again, and then said without thinking:

"But I know that while they are waiting for their arrival, these seemingly unrelated 'tourists' are bound to have a rally in Barton County."

Hearing the words of President Kairutu, everyone in the Mithril Society suddenly lit up!

"Where is Barton County best for a rally?" Vice-captain Filina's brain was running at high speed.

Secret gatherings like this,

The chosen location must not be in a crowded city where the city security management is constantly checked, and the transportation of the meeting place must be very convenient to ensure that there is time to evacuate no matter what happens.

Almost subconsciously, a place came to Filina's mind.

That's right!

It is the White Swan Harbor under their feet.

Because of its proximity to the sea, White Swan Harbor has the most relaxed security management in the entire Barton County, and there will not be a celestial patrol on the street who will stop you from registering your identity with an expressionless face.

Coupled with the proximity to the West Sea and the mouth of the Barton Canal, land and water transportation is extremely convenient, and it can be said to be the best hidden meeting point.

Thinking of this, Filina glanced at Kairutu with some excitement.

The latter seemed to have thought of this as well, nodded slightly, and commanded in a calm voice:

"In the next three days, we were divided into two teams, one team stared at the situation of the white swan, and reported any abnormalities immediately."

"The other team kept an eye on the movements of the members of the delegations from various countries to prevent us from misjudging the location, they did not choose the White Swan Harbor, and they still reported the anomaly as soon as they found it."

"Remember, safety first, our job is only to report, is there a problem?"

Everyone in the suite said neatly:

"No problem!"

For a moment, everyone in the Mithril Society's execution team, who had caught some clues, immediately launched an action to keep an eye on them.

However, even President Kairutu. Feng. One thing that the Caucasus didn't realize either...

At this particular point in time, which is clearly supposed to be a setback for Bartonshire's tourism industry, there seems to be a slight increase in the number of unfamiliar ships docked outside White Swan Harbour.

There were even many black ships that had not docked and registered, like a large black heavy cloud, far away from the end of the line of sight, where the sea and the sky met.

Black clouds overwhelmed the city, and wind and rain gradually came.
