In fact, when Lucius asked Oda Nobumitsu how he would make his choice with the emperor's enemies, there was no one more nervous than Sakura Rinko.

Just in order not to attract the attention of others, Sakura Rinko didn't dare to show her nervousness, and quietly waited for Oda Nobumitsu to give an answer on the surface, but in fact, her heart was full of contradictions of expectation and worry.

Lucius stared at Oda Nobumitsu, let him stand there and hesitate and think for a long time, and finally Lucius interrupted Oda Nobumitsu's thoughts and said: "Okay, since it is difficult for you to make a decision, then I will no longer force it, in the words of the East, there are some things that cannot be forced." ”

As he spoke, Lucius turned around and said with a smile, "I'm a little hungry, can I go to Shirou's house for lunch?"

Asuina was about to find an excuse to refuse, but before Assuna could speak, Shirou preemptively said: "Yes, yes, Lord Lucius, please come with me, my house is in front, my mother's craftsmanship is very famous in the village, I believe you will like it." ”

Seeing that his younger brother responded to Lucius first, even though Assuna was very reluctant, he still had to greet Lucius with a smile, after all, Lucius used his strength to subdue the ronin samurai, which was definitely not something Assuna could offend.

Walking in the village where the two sisters lived, Lucius and the others were surprised to find that the houses in the village were very distinctive, almost all the houses were wooden, and the houses were some distance from the ground, not directly built on the ground like the Western Continent, but supported by several low stakes.

Originally, the village was built on an earthen slope, and this form of construction made it possible to build houses in the village even on potholed terrain.

The houses in the whole village are arranged in a stepped manner on the dirt slope, and the rows of houses are arranged upwards, which looks very peculiar.

Caroline looked at the houses in the village and said with some surprise, "Your house is very distinctive, why do you have all the houses?" How about building higher than the ground?"

Without waiting for Asukina and Shirou to answer, Lucius smiled and said, "This still doesn't understand, obviously, their houses are built on the hillside, and when it rains, the rainwater will flow down the hillside, so they can effectively avoid the soaking and erosion of the rainwater by building the house high above the ground." ”

"Is that so?" Caroline looked at Assuna and Shirou with some confusion.

Asuina nodded and said, "Basically, because our house is almost wooden inside and out, so it was built like this to prevent the house from being soaked and causing the wood to rot prematurely." ”

Listened to Asukana's answer. Caroline looked at Lucius in surprise and asked, "How do you know?"

Lucius pointed to his head and said, "Pay attention, and then use your brain to think about it a little, this can be easily deduced." ”

Caroline's face suddenly gloomy when she heard this, and she rushed to Lucius in a rage and said, "You mean, I don't use my brain?"

Seeing this, Lucius quickly raised his hands and said, "I didn't mean that, don't misinterpret my words yourself, okay?"

Despite Lucius's explanation to Caroline, Caroline remained unrelenting and approached Lucius step by step. Looking at the stance, it seems that he wants to move directly to Lucius.

Lucius warned a little helplessly: "Caroline, don't come to the real thing, you know, you are not my opponent." If it really starts, I won't show mercy, and if I hurt you, everyone will not be good. Besides, in front of outsiders, I still want to save some face for you. ”

To everyone's surprise, Lucius's words of warning just fell. Caroline suddenly threw her fist at Lucius, looking at the posture as if she had ignored Lucius's warnings.

Seeing Caroline punch at him, Luciuston's pupils shrank, and he leaned back, directly avoiding Caroline's punch.

Caroline didn't expect Lucius to react so quickly, but when the fist slid in front of Lucius, Caroline slammed down, seemingly not intending to give Lucius a chance to breathe, wanting to knock Lucius to the ground in one fell swoop, at this moment Caroline was already in a fighting state.

Everyone looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces, wondering why Caroline suddenly moved her hand at Lucius, and it seemed that she barely spared her hand.

In fact, Lucius also felt a little inexplicable, originally just a joke with Caroline, but he didn't expect Caroline to be so fierce, as if he wanted to kill himself directly.

Seeing that Caroline's fist was about to fall, Lucius didn't care about anything else, leaned back on one side, and at the same time raised his foot and kicked Caroline's arm, holding Caroline's fist that smashed into him, and at the same time the whole person fell to the ground, and rolled to the side, distancing himself from Caroline.

Rising from the ground, Lucius stared at Caroline and shouted, "Hey, you, you're really here? I'm just kidding, aren't you?"

However, Caroline didn't seem to hear Lucius's shouts at all, and approached Lucius again without a sound, and at the same time swung her fist at Lucius's door.

In the face of Caroline's almost unreasonable offensive, Lucius had no choice but to take two steps back and start a formal battle with Caroline, and the two fought and retreated in the village like that, and Caroline seemed to have the upper hand.

Seeing that Caroline was pressing on Lucius step by step, she did not communicate with Lucius at all, and her actions became faster and more tyrannical, and the onlookers were surprised.

Qi Li'er rushed to Du Liniang's side and asked, "Auntie, what's going on, why did Caroline suddenly seem like crazy?

Du Liniang stared at the two people in the battle, her expression gradually became solemn, and she muttered: "What the hell is going on? It seems that Caroline seems to have lost her mind, and she doesn't know what she is doing, but she just relies on her instinct to fight with Lucius. ”

Konstantin then chimed in in a low voice, "Yes, it seems that Caroline has lost her mind, and I am afraid that she herself is not aware of what she is doing." ”

As soon as Konstantin's words fell, Oda Nobumitsu suddenly said in a deep voice: "It's a puppet control technique, someone used a puppet control technique on that woman and controlled her." ”

Du Liniang's pupils shrank suddenly when she heard this, as an Oriental Du Liniang's natural way, what is the puppet control technique, it is a very evil secret technique, somewhat similar to the psychic control of Western magic, but the puppet control technique is more secretive, and even many times it is impossible to find the location of the spellcaster.

But Du Liniang muttered a little puzzled: "But Caroline, when was she put a doll mark?"

The disadvantage of puppet control is that the caster must apply a puppet mark on the person being cast, and only the person who is being placed on the puppet mark can control it, and once the puppet mark is successfully applied, no matter how powerful the person is, it is impossible to detect it.

It can be said that puppet control is to unconsciously control the person who wants to control the person, provided that the puppet mark must be applied to that person in advance.

Oda Nobumitsu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that when she and Su I were fighting fiercely, Su I quietly left a puppet mark on her. ”

Du Liniang looked at Oda Nobumitsu and asked, "Do you have a way to crack it?"

The latter shook his head and said, "No, Su's puppet control technique is very weird, and ordinary people can't crack it." ”

Sakura Rinko suddenly opened her mouth and agreed: "Yes, in the entire Fuso Country, the family with the strongest puppet control technique is the Suga family. ”

Seeing that Oda Nobumitsu had no choice, Du Liniang couldn't help frowning and asked, "Then what should I do now?

Oda Nobumitsu was very helpless, because he really had no choice, you must know that he was just a samurai, his ghosts and gods did not have those weird abilities, although he knew something about puppet control techniques, but he was really not familiar with these weird spells, so he couldn't do anything at the moment.

Modus yells at Lucius, telling Lucius about the puppet control technique, and telling Lucius to be careful not to be hurt by Caroline.

When Lucius learned of the situation, he parried Caroline's attack and shouted to the crowd: "Hurry up and think of a way, you can't just let me spend it here, right?"

When everyone heard this, they could only look at each other helplessly, because everyone really had no choice.

Oda Nobumitsu saw that Assuna suddenly remembered something, walked up to Asukina's side and asked, "Asukina, where are the priests in your village?"

Hearing Oda Nobumitsu's question, Asukina was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Lord Samurai, there are no priests in our village, and our annual sacrifice is attended by the village chief who takes us to the city. ”

Oda Nobumitsu shook his head helplessly at Du Liniang and said: "No way, if there is a priest in the village, maybe you can rely on the priest's means to try, now, I'm afraid there is really no way, unless Lord Caroline is controlled first, and then take her to the city to find the priest." ”

A wry smile appeared on the faces of Du Liniang and the others, it was too difficult to control Caroline, especially in the case of losing the people of Noko, and the remaining people at the moment had no way to control Caroline.

Seeing that everyone had no choice, Sakura Rinko bit her lip and suddenly stood up and said, "Why don't you let me try?" I've learned some tricks, and I might be able to suppress the puppet control technique for the time being. ”

Seeing Sakura Rinko standing up tremblingly, Qi Lier couldn't help but pout and said, "Are you sure? Don't look back and can't restrain Caroline, but hurt Lucius." ”

Christine, who had been silent, spoke before Du Liniang: "I think it's better to let her try, than to let Caroline go down with Lucius like this, right? ”

As soon as Christine's words fell, before the others could disagree, Lucius shouted first: "Yes, let her try, if it doesn't work, I'll knock Caroline unconscious first." (To be continued......)
