Chapter 54: Izumo Shrine

When Reina received a prompt from the system again and the conditions of the main quest changed, she understood that Wu Chun's judgment was completely correct, and the system had increased the difficulty of the task, and the increase was beyond imagination.

Originally, the three conditions of the main quest only required 1,000 enemy soldiers to be killed, but now all of them have become 3,000. Literally, the difficulty has tripled.

Main quest 2: Battlefield characters, open. Mission objective, complete one of the following conditions within 10 days, according to the different conditions completed, the reward will be different, and the subsequent main quest will also be different.

Condition 1: Kill 3,000 enemy soldiers alone on any battlefield.

Condition 2: Successfully assist 100 friendly soldiers to kill 3,000 enemy soldiers on any battlefield.

Condition 3: Successfully assist a friendly general to kill 3,000 enemy soldiers on any battlefield.

Only one of the above conditions can be completed, if more than two conditions are played at the same time, the first condition will prevail, and the completion reward: 10,000 evolution points, and there will be hidden rewards according to the conditions. Mission failure: 100,000 evolution points and 3,000 guilt points will be deducted. If the number of points is insufficient, it will be erased.

It can be seen that not only the difficulty of the three conditions has increased, but even the penalty for mission failure has been increased, which means that once the task fails, it will face the obliteration of the system.

Killing a thousand people is not a simple matter, let alone killing three thousand people, three thousand soldiers with rich combat experience! It not only tests Reina's personal combat ability, but also her auxiliary ability and command ability.

At this time, the pre-battle preparations for the Battle of Sekigahara were nearing the end, and the battle was imminent, but Reina left the camp of the Eastern Army and went to Izumo.

Because she has to complete a seemingly simple hidden mission before the battle, that is, to gain the approval of the country.

The second step of the hidden quest life and death, the mission goal: to obtain the approval of the plot character Ah Guo, note: The reward for this quest will be distributed after the end of the main quest two, according to the different completion conditions of the main quest two, the reward will also change, time limit: none. Task failure penalty: Forced to leave the world of this game, and cancel the comprehensive evaluation of the world world of this game.

Originally, there was no time limit for this mission, but on the last battlefield, Ah Guo dropped a sentence when he was leaving, hoping that Reina could meet her in three days, and today, it happened to be the third day. In a sense, this quest is a way back for the chosen after the system increases the difficulty for itself, for the simple reason that if the task fails, the chosen one will be safely separated from the world of this game, but this time the world of the game will be defeated, and no rewards will be obtained.

Izumo is a city in the northern part of Chugoku on the island of Honshu in Japan, and belongs to Shimane Prefecture.

Izumo Province, one of the ancient Japanese order countries, belongs to the mountain**, also known as Yunzhou. It wasn't far from the camp of Reina's camp, and with the support of a fast horse gifted by Inagihime, it only took Reina two hours to reach her destination.

The shrine where Akuni practice, the Izumo Taisha Shrine is in Izumo Province. Covering an area of 27,000 square meters, this shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Japan and one of the most famous shrines in Japan. The god enshrined in the shrine is the lord of a great country known as the "No. 1 Spirit God in the country".

It is said that every year in October, 8 million gods from all over the country gather here for a divine ceremony, and for Izumo Taisha Shrine, it is "God in the Moon", so a grand festival of the gods is held.

There are 19 small shrines in the buildings on both sides of the main hall of Izumo Taisha Shrine, which are said to have been used to receive the gods who came from other places. Akuni is the most famous shrine maiden in Izumo Taisha Shrine, and she is also a popular dancing girl.

Reina was born as a shrine maiden, and her own home is at a shrine, so she is naturally very proficient in Shinto etiquette. The second ceremony, the four clapping, and the first ceremony are very standard, and in that period, the shrine maiden and the onmyoji were relatively noble professions, plus Reina's bearing was extraordinary, and she was proficient in Shinto, and the guards of the shrine did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately brought her into the main hall.

When Reina saw Akuni again, the most famous shrine maiden had already changed into a beautiful and ornate Chihaya, wearing a gold crown and holding a kagura bell, as if she was going to perform a festival or a prayer.

After the two introduced each other, Ah Guo bowed to Reina and said with a smile, "Welcome to Izumo Shrine." I'm preparing for the rain prayer ceremony, why don't you do it with me?"

Reina nodded, she had no reason to refuse, not to mention that the system had already sent a prompt.

"Hidden Mission: Fulfill the request of the shrine maiden. If the task is not completed, the task will fail. ”

......

The rain prayer ceremony is a festival that is often performed at the shrine, and in the event of a drought, the shrine maidens will pray for the rain in a group, a tradition that has been passed down to the present day, so Reina knows it very well, and she has participated in it several times.

Outside the shrine, there is a large open space with four torii gates in each of its four directions, a Japanese-style structure similar to an ancient Chinese torii archway, which is permanently located on the avenue leading to the shrine or at the wooden fence around the shrine. It is mainly used to distinguish the divine realm from the secular realm inhabited by humans, and it is regarded as a kind of enchantment, representing the entrance to the divine realm, and it can also be regarded as a kind of "door".

The four torii gates represent the four sacred beasts, the green dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west, the vermilion bird in the south, and the Xuanwu in the north.

This rain prayer ceremony is to pray to the sacred beast in charge of rainwater, the green dragon, so the altar is also placed under the eastern torii.

In addition to Akuni and Reina, there are 22 shrine maidens behind them who participate in the ceremony, among which Reina and Akuni are the main ones, wearing Chihaya, wearing a gold crown and holding a kagura bell. In front of them lay fine wines.

The two women took a sip of wine and then began to wave the kagura bell, chanting prayers in a low voice with solemn expressions.

This prayer for rain only requires the presiding shrine maiden to complete the prayer dance, and during this process, all the shrine maidens participating in the rain prayer ceremony must pray quietly, and usually when the prayer for rain is successful, some visions will arise between heaven and earth. But when Ah Guo and Reina finished praying for the dance, nothing happened.

However, this was just the feeling of an ordinary shrine maiden behind them, but Ah Guo and Reina felt a powerful force coming from the torii gate in front of them, it was an undoubted, overwhelming force, even Ah Guo was surprised, she had never encountered such a situation.

But Ling Nai knew in her heart, she knew that this must be the system doing weird. But she didn't expect that the system would be so perverted, and the next thing she faced was the legendary holy beast.

"Defeat the Divine Beast Blue Dragon's Descendant, Mission Limit: None. Note: The strength of the Holy Beast Blue Dragon Advent Body is only 20% of the strength of the main body. ”

The system just prompted, the space in the torii gate was distorted, and a translucent green dragon slowly appeared from it, the green dragon is the ancient five-clawed dragon of the Yanhuang Kingdom, the appearance of the green dragon is very complex, the mouth is like a horse, the eyes are like a crab, the whiskers are like a sheep, the horns are like a deer, the ears are like a cow, the mane is like a lion, the scales are like a carp, the body is like a snake, and the claws are like an eagle, which can be said to be formed by integrating several biological characteristics.

As soon as the green dragon appeared, the witches who participated in the sacrifice behind them all knelt down and worshipped, they participated in the rain prayer ceremony many times, and they had never seen such a phenomenon of holy beast manifestation, in their opinion, it must be that Ah Guo and Reina The two main witches are too strong, or there is a god descending, in their eyes, Ah Guo and Reina have become witches who are favored by the gods.

"Get out of the way, everyone!" Reina suddenly shouted.

The witches behind her didn't understand what was going on, and as soon as they looked up, they saw the somewhat illusory green dragon in mid-air opening its big mouth at them. The next moment, a thick column of water erupted from the green dragon's mouth.

These shrine maidens only felt the water column falling from the sky, and an irresistible force was mixed with it, and in an instant, the festival platform turned into an ocean, and those shrine maidens were also scattered and washed away.

Ah Guo opened his umbrella with one hand, pulled Ling Nai with his right hand, and the two slowly floated down in the air. Fortunately, Ah Guo reacted very quickly, climbed the torii gate as soon as possible, jumped high, and greatly strengthened the time in the air with the umbrella in his hand, and also caught Reina, who jumped up and dodged.

The flood below lasted for more than ten seconds before disappearing, and the shrine maidens who participated in the prayer fell to the ground in all directions, all with pale faces and unknown lives.

"It's so strong!"

This is Ling Nai's subconscious feeling, not to mention, this green dragon is actually just a projection, not the holy beast body, its strength is only equivalent to twenty percent of the body, it can be seen that the strength of the body is unimaginable.

"This is not a holy beast, but a corrupted evil beast, and you and I will work together to get rid of it, otherwise the world will surely suffer. As soon as Ah Guo landed, he said to Reina beside him.

This is exactly what Ling Nai wants, she knows that it is impossible for Lu Dao to defeat the target on her own, and she planned to find a reason to persuade Ah Guo, but she didn't expect the other party to propose it first.

Reina herself has very few means of attack, and the melee combat is even weaker, if there is no Ah Guo to attract firepower in front, then she can only end up in a passive situation, and it is impossible to win.

It is not difficult to see the strength of the green dragon from the raging flood just now, and Reina knows that if she is swept away by the flood, the end will not be better than those witches around her.

"Hmm!" Reina nodded, and immediately released all the shields, increasing the defense of the two.

Feeling the changes in her body, Ah Guo glanced at Ling Nai meaningfully, and then she jumped up directly, waving the famous umbrella in her hand, Hinata Tianxiao, and rushed towards the giant head of the green dragon.

Reina is experienced in hand-to-hand combat, and extremely powerful, and she pulls out her pistol and makes a tentative long-range attack.

Bang bang bang!

The bullet seemed to be completely ineffective, and every bullet that hit the surface of the green dragon's body would flash water ripples, and the bullet disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Ah Guo had already rushed to the head of the green dragon, waving the umbrella in both hands continuously, opening and retracting, the movements were coherent, the momentum was compelling, and the pink arcs of light were drawn in the air.

Only when you really get close to Ah Guo can you feel the fierceness of her attack, and Reina asked herself if this set of attacks hit her, she had no power to fight back at all. This is the true strength of the unparalleled generals.

In fact, the role of Ah Guo is more special in the Warring States Peerless World Realm, she is not a simple martial artist, she herself has the power of God, she is good at some witchcraft, it can be said that she is a demon and martial arts double cultivation.

Similar characters also include Naoe Kane, who is good at seiji, and the other is Kobayakawa Takakei, who is good at yin and yang. These characters have a considerable advantage over other generals, whether it is witchcraft, Taoism or yin and yang arts, they are very powerful in this world.

Reina felt the hope of victory at this moment, and all she had to do was to assist Ah Guo with all her strength and defeat the projection of this green dragon.
