Sakurajima, Kyoto.

In the spring months, the early cherry blossoms bloom in the treetops, and the cuckoo stands on the tree, overlooking the girl kneeling under the eaves.

The girl had black hair like a waterfall, was dressed in white, kneeling straight on the cloister, with a scabbard resting on her knees, and was meditating with her eyes closed.

The courtyard is well arranged, but weeds still grow wildly from the yard, and it can be seen that the owner of the yard has not grasped the heart and strength.

Jingle Bell –

The ringtone of the home phone, breaking the silence, echoes in the dojo.

In the shadows under the eaves, a beautiful woman with a sick temperament slowly walked forward with a wheelchair in her hand, and called:

"Ye Ori, I have your phone."

"Yes, Mother, I'll come now."

The black-haired girl stood up calmly and hung the scabbard at her waist:

"Did the other party say who it was?"

"Claim to be your friend when you studied abroad in Donghuang."

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "It must be a very good friend, you are willing to tell him the phone number at home." ”

"I ...... There are very few friends I have made in Donghuang......"

Ye Zhi said: "Let's not talk about it yet, I'll answer the phone." ”

Wow -

Stepping on the floor corridor, a few pieces of the floor seeped water and warped, Ye Ori avoided it by memory, and came to the landline to pick up the microphone.

"Hello? I'm Ha Ori. ”

"Hey, Senpai."

A nice male voice came from the phone, which was somewhat familiar.

Ye Zhi didn't think about it immediately for a while.

The other party quickly reported to his home and said:

"I'm Luo He, I'm really embarrassed to call you suddenly."

"Luo He?" Ye Weaving's tone was unusually surprised, "Why did you make this call?" ”

"There's something I want to ask you for help, but the mobile phone number shows that it's canceled, so I found this phone number left in the school team group." Luo He Dao.

"What's busy." Ye Zhi immediately said: "You just mention it, I will do my best!" ”

Half a year ago, after Ye Zhi won the highest honor for Donghuang high school students, he ended his study abroad career and returned to his hometown Sakurajima to study swordsmanship.

With her father's early death and her mother's inconvenience, the mission of reviving the family's dojo rested on her shoulders.

There have been gains and losses in the past six months, and from time to time Ye Zhi will also recall the short but radiant life of studying abroad.

It's harder to forget the teammates who fought side by side on the field, and the white-clad figure who turned the tide.

In the past six months, Luo He's news has repeatedly reached her ears, creating many unimaginable deeds.

Genius is always so dazzling, even if he is already the best among his peers, he is destined to be difficult to match on the road ahead.

And Luo He still remembered himself and took the initiative to ask himself for help, which made Ye Zhi inexplicably a little happy.

"Here's the way it goes......"

Luo He briefly described his intention to go to Sakurajima to find the swordsmith.

"You have to be a swordsmith of the Shogun genre." Luo He said: "I thought that Senior Sister, your family is practicing swordsmanship, and maybe you will know something about this part, so I would like to ask you to help find clues." ”

"Understood." Ye Zhi quickly agreed: "I will help you keep an eye on the news about the swordsmith of the cadre school." ”

Senior Sister Ye Zhi agreed so happily, but it made Luo He slightly stunned, and took the initiative to say:

"I'll use resources as a thank you."

Among the crops planted by Dangkang, there is a fifth-level resource called 'Jewel Fruit', which should be quite valuable to Ye Weaving.

"No need to be polite." Ye Zhi said: "You came to Sakura Island, do you have a special guide?" ”

"No, I'll come by boat."

Ye Zhi pondered for a moment, made up his mind, and said:

"It's better than this... I'll be your guide, how about you go to my dojo and meet me first?" ”

"Of course that's good!" Luo He said: "I'm mainly afraid of trouble for you." ”

"In the college league, I and everyone can win the championship trophy, thanks to you."

Ye Zhi smiled: "You are doing this little favor now, where is the trouble." ”

"Okay." Luo He set an itinerary, "I will probably go to Kyoto City the day after tomorrow." ”

"Well, my new phone number, can you remember ......"

Around the corner.

The woman in the wheelchair stared at her daughter, who was rarely lively, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes flashed slightly.

"At her age, she should be the age to make friends and play around......"

Chiyoko felt guilty and muttered, "It's my fault that she shouldered the title of 'Thunder Shadow Stream' as a swordsman. ”

The woman stretched out her pale fingers and put them on her unconscious legs, and her eyes flashed gloomily.

Soon after, it will be Sakurajima's annual kendo tournament.

I don't know which swordsman will win the championship in this year's kendo conference......

"Mother?"

Chiyoko looked up, only to see that her beloved daughter was a little nervous, and walked to the back of the wheelchair and held the handle:

"How did you get here?"

"How?" Chiyoko smiled and said, "Is there anything between you and your classmates that I can't listen to?" ”

"Where are your words?" Ye Zhi said softly: "It's just a genius trainer that I admire very much. ”

"yes, it's still a boy, Mom, I can't wait to see how he looks." The beautiful woman teased.

"Mother!"

"Okay, I won't tease you... You go and practice your sword. Chiyoko said widely.

"Hmm." Ye Zhi said: "By the way, mother, do you know the news about the swordsmith of the 'Cadre Sect'? ”

Chiyoko was surprised: "Where did you hear the name of this genre?" ”

Ye Zhi said: "It's my classmate, who entrusted me, who is on Sakura Island, to investigate the relevant clues." ”

The woman in the wheelchair looked thoughtful and muttered:

"The cadre school, good at summoning spirits, took refuge from Donghuang to Sakurajima in the era of the empress, and later gradually became the mainstream of Sakurajima swordsmiths."

"Our family's 'Chidori' sword is also forged by the cadre school, so it can be used as a pet beast to envoy."

"Today's Sakurajima, the most famous swordsmith is the founder of the [Sword Tasting Conference], and he is known as the 'Old Man of the Sword'."

The beautiful woman said solemnly: "He is also a cadre. ”

Ye Ori was a little surprised.

Of course, she had heard of the name of the old man of the sword, and most of the famous swordsmen of Sakurajima had gone to him to ask for famous swords.

"He turned out to be a descendant of the Ganjiang school." Ye Zhi said: "No wonder, there are so many famous swords that have spiritual wisdom and can be envoys. ”

"'Old Man Sword' is just a title, passed down to his generation, and I don't know how many generations of Old Man Sword it is."

Chiyoko's eyes flickered: "If your classmates want to find a swordsmith of the cadre school, go to the [Sword Tasting Conference], maybe you can try your luck." ”

In the sword tasting conference, the old man of the sword invites the world's sword heroes to come to the dojo at home to test the swordsmanship, and the winner will be presented with a famous sword forged by the old man himself.

Most of Sakurajima's famous swordsmen have participated in the sword tasting tournament and are proud to have received an invitation from the old man of the sword.

Chiyoko was also eager to try the sword tournament in her early years, but was later seriously injured in a crusade against fierce beasts, and was disabled, so she had to give up.

"Sword Tasting Conference, Sword Old Man ......"

Ye Zhi thought for a moment and nodded:

"When my classmate arrives in Kyoto, I'll talk to him about it."

*

Donghuang, Jiangcheng, port.

A luxury cruise ship is moored at the pier, its snow-white hull glowing in the sun, and many seagulls hovering in the blue sky.

A seagull with a rather peculiar temperament stopped on the stone pier of the railing, with deep eyes.

"Oh..."

Next, it's time to go abroad and order fries!

Luo He stood at the pier, looking at the luxury cruise ship, looking down at the information on his mobile phone.

Recently, due to the fierce beasts in various countries, the frequency of international flights has been greatly reduced, and ships have become the best choice.

Due to the strength of the sea beasts, the shipbuilding industry in today's era is somewhat backward, and luxury cruise ships with security forces are expensive.

Luo He passed through the ticket gate and ascended the gangway.

The beautiful female seaman greeted gently: "Sir, I wish you a pleasant trip." ”

There are already quite a few visitors standing on the deck.

The cruise ship has six floors, a game arcade, a cinema, a restaurant, a bar, a training room, and a 24-hour buffet.

It can withstand the dominant-level moves on the battlefield, and it is a facility that cruise lines are proud of.

"Don't let Xiao Jiu train here!" Luo He thought cautiously.

Toot –

The whistle is melodious, and the cruise ship sets sail.

The surface of the water rippled in circles, away from the pier, and the sea returned to calm.

The weather was sunny and windless.

After sailing for one day and two nights, the cruise will arrive at the end of the tour: Sakurajima, Kyoto.

Luo He stood on the deck and watched the scenery for a while, looking at the monotonous sea, he began to feel a little bored, and turned around to go back to the bedroom.

"Hello, handsome man."

A dark-skinned beauty with sunglasses on her forehead, wearing bright gold earrings, and smiling:

"I just came here... Do you know how to get to the gym on board? ”

Chef Luo is already dignified, and the silkworm clothes are even more temperamental, and it is inevitable to pick up a conversation.

"Wait a minute!" The dark-skinned hottie's eyes widened in surprise and she covered her mouth with her hands excitedly, "Are you Master Luo?" ”

The amazing performance in the master assessment competition expanded Luo He's fame to the whole country and even the world.

"I watch your games a lot." The hot girl found an eyebrow pencil from her bag and said excitedly, "Can you sign it for me?" ”

"Where?"

"Here!" The hottie puffs her chest.

Luo He: "......"

In the end, he signed on the small book, and the other party left happily.

It's often the case that fans recognize themselves, but this scene is really rare!

The cruise ship has left the waters of Donghuang.

Suddenly.

The hull of the ship looked like it had hit something big.

With a 'bang', the whole cruise ship shook.

Tourists on the deck suddenly staggered, and the panic spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What's the situation?"

"You won't hit an iceberg!"

"Help, my wife fainted!"

Immediately, the healer stepped forward and sent out a 'bell child' to provide resuscitation treatment to the fainting lady.

The ship broadcasted:

"Dear passengers, I am Captain Colin, this ship has encountered an emergency, the security forces on board will solve it as soon as possible, passengers do not need to panic, please return to the cabin and wait with peace of mind under the guidance of the sea crew."

There were also a large number of unresponsive passengers on deck.

"Could it be that you have encountered a fierce beast?"

"Oh my God, I saw those two big monsters!"

On the sea, the wind and rain are blowing, and the two huge sea monsters are fighting to the death.

The huge whale floats and sinks in the ocean, stirring the huge whale tail to set off huge waves, and its black and white body disappears in the raging waves.

When it jumped out of the sea, Luo He saw a huge red squid attached to the whale's body, its tentacles like a rope tightly binding the whale's head, and even blocking its blowholes with tentacles!

This is a natural enemy fight between the giant whale and the king squid.

This kind of spectacular scene of sea beast fighting is rare in the Donghuang Sea ruled by Ao Ye, and it can be placed in the ocean that accounts for seventy percent of the world, which is far from an exception.

The passengers on the ship were frightened, frightened, or shocked.

"If it weren't for air control, it would have been faster to get to Sakurajima by fish." Luo He said secretly: "Forget it, I'm in a hurry, let's solve it quickly." ”

Raising his hand, the light of the summoning array flickered, the wind surged, and the extraordinary golden dragon burst out with a powerful dragon might, carrying Luo He into the sky!

Captain indoors.

Captain Colin roared, "What are you doing in the security department, why don't you get rid of those two sea monsters quickly?" ”

The captain smiled bitterly: "Captain, with the strength of these two fierce beasts, this is the best way to make a detour or wait for them to finish fighting before setting off!" ”

"There are so many passengers on the ship, and everyone's life safety is related to me and you!" Captain Colin said, "If you don't solve it, do you expect the passengers to solve it?" ”

The captain looked blankly out of the window.

"What do you ask?" Colin growled.

The captain stretched out his hand and pointed out the window, shockingly, "No, captain, look outside...... There are really passengers who have made a move! ”

Colin was stunned and looked out the window.

High in the sky, the handsome and extraordinary young man in white controls the golden dragon, looking down on the two fighting pet beasts.

Immediately, ice crystals fell beside him, and a beautiful figure carved from ice and snow appeared from the summoning array.

Xue Xue stretched out her palm, and a cold wave was released in her palm, and it seemed like a blizzard on the sea!

The two fierce sea beasts were swallowed by the cold wave in an instant, frozen into a whole ice sculpture, and fell into the sea with a 'bang', setting off huge waves!

Rumble!

The waves are surging and calm.

Colin's eyes trembled in disbelief.

Two fierce beasts that were so powerful were actually thwarted by this blow at the same time!

"Captain, I've found out who that white-clad trainer is!"

The captain said excitedly: "The youngest master in Donghuang, Luo He, who has defeated the totem-level deeds, Master Luo!" ”

"Good fellow, it turns out that he is on our ship...... This trip couldn't be more stable! The captain muttered.

"Damn, it's all up to Master Luo, what do you want!"

Colin burst into a rude and immediately ordered loudly:

"Avoid the ice and keep going!"

Toot –

The cruise ship bypassed the two sea beasts that had been frozen into ice sculptures and continued towards its destination.

The visitors on deck are still in horror.

Many people looked up at Luo He, who had returned to the deck with the golden dragon, and their eyes were either in awe or incredulous.

"What is the origin of that young man?"

"Oh my God, I knocked out two monsters at once!"

"It turns out that Master Luo is on our ship, and this trip of insurance was bought in vain!"

Luo He didn't want to cause too much uproar, and after the crisis was resolved, he left the scene in a low-key manner and returned to the room to rest.

There was a knock on the door.

"Hello, Mr. Luo He, our captain invited you to meet, and he would like to express his gratitude to you in person!"

There was such a big commotion, and it was indeed time to meet with the captain.

Luo He replied: "Okay, I'll go over later!" ”

Captain's room.

As soon as they met, the captain respectfully said:

"Master Luo He, thanks to your help, I really don't know how to thank you!"

Luo He smiled and said, "It's just a gesture." ”

"I just asked the company for a privilege." Captain Colin said, "This is our company's lifetime ticket, which allows you to travel on all of our company's cruise ships for free and is valid for life. ”

It didn't feel useful, but Luo He still accepted it and said casually:

"Which company is you?"

"[Inari Chamber of Commerce] is a multinational company, and its headquarters are located in Sakurajima." Captain Colin said.

Luo He was stunned.

Does this sound familiar?

I think I've met someone from this chamber of commerce before?

Luo He looked in the storage space, took out a VIP card, and said:

"Look, is this your company's card?"

The captain took the VIP card, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned:

"This is a card signed by our hostess...... Where did you get it? ”

It seems that there was a time when a Sakurajima woman was saved, probably around the time of the Ryugu incident.

"I don't know when I saved your boss lady." Luo He said truthfully: "Then she gave me this card." ”

The captain was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became subtle.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?" Luo He Dao.

Captain Colin smiled heartily: "You don't need to call me Captain, just call me Xiaoke!" ”
