[4] Miko

Moon-gazing watchtower

The name of the double-story wooden attic standing on the top of the mountain is elegant, but the holes and leaks everywhere give people a crumbling appearance just by looking at it, but people are a little afraid to compliment.

In such an attic, a young boy with half-long hair sat on the table, reading a book by the faint light of the candlestick, and the two white calves exposed under the dark coat with gold stripes on a black background swayed, as if he did not feel much panic at the slightest because of his captivity, under the thick black eyebrows, a pair of eyes were black and white, and this look alone gave people a sense of maturity that did not match their age.

Probably because of the hundred obedience of this royal son, or it may be because of the cliffs on three sides of this moon watchtower, and the reeds who tied him here did not intervene beside him, except for the two guards guarding the door, the entire moon watchtower was empty within three zhang.

As if reading the beginning of the book, 'Miko' Kuro stared at the book in front of him in a daze for a long time, and when he felt something and turned around, a lean white-haired figure was already half-kneeling in front of a hole in the wooden wall of an attic, waiting respectfully for him to finish reading these last words.

Seeing the figure in front of him, Jiulang seemed to be happy, the corners of his lips raised a slight arc, and his pure smile shone in the candlelight, but he couldn't hear too much emotion in his tone.

β€œ...... There you are. ”

"It's been a long time, wolf."

Han Baiyi lowered his head, imitating Uncle Wolf's original posture, looking at the royal son who was more cute than a girl.

This is the last person to master Long Yin.

Ryuyin, an immortal ability, comes from the country's traditional belief in a god named 'Sakura Dragon', a wild god who was said to have been expelled from a large country in the western part of Japan.

It is also very magical in the game, which can make the protagonist 'wolf' infinitely reborn, and it is through this that the players in the game can continue to be abused and die, and finally survive until they clear the level.

However, if the power of the dragon is overused, that is, the number of deaths is too much, it will trigger a phenomenon called 'dragon cough', which is a disease similar to infectious diseases, the more times the protagonist is resurrected, the wider the scope of dragon cough infection and the number of NPCs, the more people with dragon cough, the higher the protagonist's death penalty will be, and finally it will even greatly affect the ending of the game.

And Uncle Wolf's dragon power was obtained from the contract with the boy in front of him three years ago.

But now, it seems that he has lost this special 'resurrection' ability.

He still remembers that 5% of the damage in his game comes from the 'Dragon Yin Power Break', and he doesn't know how this little master will react to him.

Han Baiyi flickered the plot of the game in his mind, lowered his head, and Uncle Wolf replied in that vicissitudes with a slightly hoarse voice:

"I've come to meet you, master."

A fluent Hokkaido Japanese that has been synchronized by a system.

In the face of the white little hand stretched out by Miko, there was no reaction at all.

- Ninja rules that servants are not allowed to hold the master's hand.

'Miko' Jiulang also seemed to think of this, retracted his hand quietly, and said softly in his mouth:

"Hmm......"

Turning around, Jiuro picked up a black sheath from the knife holder in the attic and hit the knife, and his voice was crisp: "Raise your head." ”

"Here's your knife, Wedge-Maru."

This is the sword that the wolf originally used, and after being defeated and imprisoned, it somehow fell back into the hands of Miko.

The candle flame flickered slightly, and the sound of the wind sounded in the attic, and Jiulang's voice was unprecedentedly solemn.

"My ninja."

"Obey the covenant of master and slave."

"Pledge your life and be loyal to me."

Han Baiyi listened to the game characters reading the plot lines, while lowering his head deeply and raising his hands:

"β€”Yes."

As soon as his mind moved, the information of the black knife appeared in front of him, but Jiurou turned a blind eye and looked like he hadn't seen anything.

It should really be invisible.

Han Baiyi put his mind at ease and looked down at the information.

[Wedge Maru: The sword given by its lord Ryuyin Miko Kuro is a thing that has been passed down from the Hirata family of the Aina side branch family, and although it was lost for a time, it has once again returned to the hands of the wolf. 】

[The name of the knife 'Wedge Maru' contains the meaning of prayer, although the ninja can not do anything to kill, but at least the heart of sin should not be abandoned......]

[The blade may be able to reflect the idea of the prayer.] 】

Even if the two have been out of contact for a long time, the former wolf has not been able to ensure the safety of his 'former master' Hirata clan, and Jiurou did not hesitate in the process of making a master-servant contract, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed that he had entrusted his life to his hands with great recklessness.

If the two people in the game can trust each other because of the 'Dragon Yin' contract, then why now?

Looking at Jiulang's trembling left hand when he gave the knife, the corners of Han Baiyi's mouth twitched at the bottom of his face.

With the end of the knife teaching, a master and a servant got acquainted with each other dryly, mainly Jiulang was saying, Han Baiyi replied with the taciturn character of imitating Uncle Wolf, and waited until Han Baiyi said that he had injuries on his body and needed treatment, and Jiulang ended this slightly embarrassing topic.

However, this time, Jiulang did not take out the key prop [Wound Medicine Gourd] to cure all diseases, as in the plot.

Han Baiyi paid attention and said a few more words:

"Master, I'm hurt."

"Oh, there's a pill upstairs, you go heal your wounds......"

Kurou said as he turned sideways, ostensibly to make way for the staircase, but in fact it was a small gourd that covered his waist.

"Master, isn't that gourd on your waist the elixir left by the old master?"

"Huh? Ah, you're mistaken, it's a sake gourd, which I hung on my clothes when I was taken away from Hirata's house. ”

Jiurou lied calmly, patted the ashes on his hands, and made a gesture to continue reading and wait for him to finish his treatment.

"It's good to have wine, it can relieve the pain."

Han Baiyi doesn't care about this, he is now a super villain who has killed two people, if he doesn't even dare to rob the gourd baby of a child, what kind of player is he?

Seeing that Jiu Lang really didn't mean to give him a gourd, Han Baiyi directly snatched it with his hand, opened the bottle cap and poured it into his mouth.

Jiulang nodded and sighed, still sitting calmly on the table and reading a book, without the slightest embarrassment.

It's as if nothing had happened.

The little face was involuntarily swollen red.

Probably because of the disrespectful Han Baiyi.

Han Baiyi drank the elixir in the gourd, and when he entered the mouth, he only felt dry and astringent, but after entering his throat, it seemed to turn into mist and drift into his chest, and a cool feeling suddenly came from his chest that was originally in severe pain, and he could even vaguely feel the flesh buds between the wounds slowly joining, and in just an instant, the pain in his chest and abdomen turned into numbness, as if there were countless small insects crawling.

He knew it was a strange sensation coming from the nerve when it was joiningβ€”it was a sign that his wound was healing quickly.

After drinking the elixir, Han Baiyi's facial features were distorted and endured the pain in his chest, but he had to praise the magic medicine for this gourd in his heart.

The panel was scanned, and the information of the gourd appeared in front of him.

[Wound Medicine Gourd: Heaven and Earth Elixir, after resting, the elixir in the gourd will be filled again. 】

[Made by one of the disciples of the rare pharmacist Daoxuan, it has strange features such as being able to automatically gush out potions, and it has its own mysteries in the tube. 】

This is the reason why Han Baiyi snatched it cheekily - this is a sustainable renewable resource.

Life-saving things are rare anywhere, what is cheeky compared to this function?

After waiting for a long time, Han Baiyi couldn't feel the tingling at all, and when he lifted his clothes and could only see layers of scar-like new skin, Jiu Lang got off the table again.

It's just that at this time, the seemingly natural smile on the boy's face has disappeared.

Without mentioning the embarrassment just now, 'Miko' Jiulang put on a master's face, and asked in a calm tone:

"You, is your body ready to support your actions in the future?"

Even if he didn't deliberately recall the previous plot lines, Han Baiyi knew that many of the greetings and concerns that should have been in the game plot were omitted between the two, so Han Baiyi naturally knelt down and asked respectfully: "After that?" What does it mean after that? ”

"First escaped from this reed-name country......"

"Under the bridge by the city wall, there is a passage leading to the outside of the city, and when you find it, use the flute of reed leaves to ......" Jiurou was talking about the plan he had thought of a long time ago, and after glancing at Han Baiyi, he suddenly changed his words, "No, forget it, I'll go with you." They all knew me, and they knew that I was the person that Shoichiro-sama wanted, and they would not have killed me. ”

"Yes."

Han Baiyi lowered his head and agreed, and his tone did not fluctuate in the slightest.

It is self-evident whether the efficiency of a ninja sneaking alone or sneaking with a person is higher or lower, although Han Baiyi, an old otaku who has cleared countless times, can find the passage with his eyes closed, but Jiulang doesn't know - in his eyes, the two of them already have a process of finding the passage, and the possibility of exposing the engagement is naturally greatly increased.

Obviously, in his eyes, he has lost the power of the dragon, and his respect is not as good as the previous 'wolf', and he is no longer the best choice to protect himself.

Is it groping for a way out, or is it simply young and ignorant?

Han Baiyi didn't know.

The reason why it will go in the direction that the plot should have gone - probably, is because there is no choice.

But even so, the wolf's credibility in his mind was much lower.

However, after all, he is still a child.

Han Baiyi smiled silently in his heart, but his face was still indifferent, a strand of frost-white long hair fell, covering his flickering gaze, and his tone was as respectful as Jiulang's past memory.

"Do as you command."
