Chapter 10: Sky Feather Feather Slash

It was only after learning about the retainers' reports that he had a rough idea of what had happened, and the daimyo Hojo family invited him to Hojo Mansion in the afternoon, supposedly as a reward for his killing of the executioner.

Levi sniffed out a very unusual smell, because he was not the head of the Fujiwara family at this time, but only a son, and the head of the Fujiwara family was still alive. According to the normal process, the lord of the feudal clan should find the head of the Fujiwara family, and then the head of the Fujiwara family should find his head.

"Koizumi, does the head of the Fujiwara family know about this?"

"According to the information provided by the previous ninja of the Fujiwara family, you don't know that the daimyo sent the invitation to you directly, without going through the master." Koizumi wore a demon mask and bowed slightly.

"That's a bit of a problem." Levi looked at the scroll in his hand, he felt a little headache, because of the times, he didn't quite understand the twists and turns of the political struggle in this world.

The Fujiwara family is the temple shrine in Kyoto, which is essentially equivalent to the Hojo family's retainers, managing the temple activities in Kyoto for the Hojo family. Originally, the Hojo family was only a small family that rose to power with the help of the current shogun Minamoto Yorito, and because the son-in-law was the current shogun, he was able to become the daimyo of the Kyoto domain.

But what kind of communication it is, and how much there is a difference in class, Levi doesn't know anything. But it was obvious that there must be something wrong with the act of bypassing the head of the Fujiwara family and going directly to him.

"Koizumi, what do you think about this? Why did the Lord's family come directly to my head and not go through the Lord? Levi asked.

"All I can think of is that the Hojo family wants to win over the young master, in which case they should give some valuable treasures. Or maybe it's a springboard to take back some of the power......"

The more Li Wei listened, the more he got bigger, normally speaking, the biggest possibility for the Hojo family to find him, the young master of Fujiwara, was marriage. That's still easy to deal with. But his identity as Li Wei is the righteous son of the Fujiwara family, not his own son, he must marry the daughter of the Fujiwara family in order to secure the position of this young master. So it can't be a matter of marriage.

But in addition to marriage, other things may be more troublesome.

He is not interested in political struggle, and even more often believes in the power in his hands. However, he found that he had to join the open and secret struggle of the nobles.

"Do you have any indication from the Lord's side?" Levi said.

"The Lord said that he believes in the power of the young master, and it is up to you to decide."

"Is that so......"

Levi was a little speechless, he couldn't understand why the head of the Fujiwara family who picked him up trusted him so much, you must know that he had only been a month since he crossed over, not to mention the aristocratic structure of the entire Kyoto, he didn't even know much about the internal structure of the Fujiwara family, and he didn't believe that he had this ability.

After a long time, Li Wei said again: "Then let's be invited, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the Hojo family's gourd." ”

Fanatical art appeared behind him, and this fire man gave him enough confidence. He felt that his strength was enough, although he was not invincible, but the price of wanting to keep him might be the extent that the entire Hojo family would cut the meat. He didn't quite believe that the Hojo family, who had risen to power for the shogun by marrying their daughter, had such courage.

Soon, it was afternoon, and Levi got into the carriage. Only the coachman, Koizumi, and Li Wei were the three of them. You can't bring too many people with you to Hojo Prefecture, otherwise it won't be a banquet but a rebellion.

On the way, he gathered together a skill given by the Hall of Honor before he began researching, the Tracking Technique.

Tracking: This ability is derived from the ancient Demon Hunter. It can sense all creatures that are strongly hostile to you within a radius of thirty meters, and can sense non-human creatures whose strength exceeds the average human level. Active activates the Bloodthirsty Pursuit effect, which marks an enemy in the eye and gives you the approximate range of the enemy wherever it is hiding for 24 hours. You can only mark up to one unit at a time. (My Witcher's Medal has moved, there must be a sorceress around here!) )

This skill can be regarded as making up for a little shortcoming in perception, at least in the face of inhuman monsters, it will not be to the extent that both eyes are black.

"My lord, Hojo Mansion has arrived."

"I see."

Levi took Koizumi out of the car, walked into Hojo Mansion under the guidance of the attendant, and was taken to a very tall main hall.

The main hall is almost made of pure wood, almost more than fifty meters high, it is hard to imagine that there would be such a luxurious building in such a low-productivity ancient world. Along the way, Levi saw a large number of samurai in armor standing guard, and these samurai all gave Levi a sense of oppression, all of them were the kind of people who practiced spiritual power.

After all, the Hojo family, in addition to relying on their son-in-law, their own samurai power is also overwhelming.

"Fujiwara-sama, Hojo-sama will let you enter alone." The waiter replied.

"Okay, Koizumi, you can wait for me outside for a while." After Levi finished speaking, he strode into the main hall, and fanatical art appeared behind him, ready for battle.

And this all-wood building, if it really reaches the worst point, the fanatic art can burn down the whole place in a very short time, so that it is very easy to escape or fight back.

When he came to the head of the Hojo family, the middle-aged man was kneeling at the table, and in front of him was a particularly ornate sword, with a total length of nearly one meter. Two samurai who also wore metal headbands and were wearing armor stood beside him, and Levi felt that the spiritual strength of these two samurai was several times stronger than his, and they had a strong murderous aura.

No matter how talented Levi is, he has only been in this world for a month, and he may be very strong in terms of real combat power, and the strength of a single round of spiritual power is estimated to be far worse than that of people in this world who have honed spiritual power since childhood. Moreover, this is the Hojo family, the home of the most powerful in the whole of Kyoto.

He took the time to take a look at the tracking technique, at least the tracking technique didn't light up, there were no demons or weirdness in the vicinity, and he was relieved.

"Fujiwara, I heard that you killed the executioner."

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my duty." Levi returned the salute.

"Very good, the Fujiwara family is really lucky." The head of the Hojo family smiled very kindly, as if the elders were encouraging the juniors.

The subtext of the head of the Hojo family is that the Fujiwara family is lucky to pick up Levi when the clan has no children, and at the same time implies that Levi is just a righteous son who has been picked up.

Levi heard the man's subtext, but he didn't say anything, and still stood in place lightly.

"Have you ever heard of the Ten Fists Sword?" The head of the Hojo family smiled and looked at Levi.

"I'm lucky enough to hear that." Levi had indeed heard of the Ten Fists Sword, but he had learned about it from a certain ninja village weapon fight in his previous life.

"I heard that you lack a famous sword in your hand, since you have the merit of killing the executioner, and I happen to have the legendary ten-fist sword in my hand, the legendary 'Heavenly Feather Feather Slash' of Susanoo who killed the Great Snake. Then the knife will be officially given to you. ”
