Chapter 817 Yanbo Lianwu
Since she got the Nagi sickle of Takenamikata some time ago, Yatagarasu asked Sister Kaku to modify her two weapons. Basically, she shortened her original "Yata Kama" from a long-handled war sickle to a short-handled sickle.
In this way, Yatagarasu's weapons are a wide and short soul-drawing sickle and a long and narrow wind god naginachi sickle. One is long and the other is short, so it can move freely even when dual-wielding.
The two sickle blades, one wide and one narrow, tore through the air. The sound of breaking through the air was like a dirge, forming two colorful dancing spirals that rose into the sky along with the Yatagarasu.
Bang!
The sickle dance fell from a high altitude and hit the ground hard.
The "Human Emperor Zombie" that was stumbling and running was hit and fell to the ground.
At the point where the sickle landed, the street sank, the stone slabs turned into powder, and the figure of the Yatagarasu had long disappeared in the rising dust.
Behind the "Human Emperor Zombie"——
The dark hooded robe stood silently, moving without wind, with two pairs of jet-black back wings extended.
If the god of death came to the world, it would probably be like this.
The Yatagarasu's soul-calling sickle rested on one of the shoulders of the "Human Emperor Zombie". The cold sickle blade gently and decisively hooked around its neck and lifted the "Human Emperor" from the ground.
Next is the wind god Nagigama.
The two sickles crossed and twisted around the Human Emperor's neck, like a giant sword that could cut off everything.
Without any hesitation, the "giant scissors" twisted and pulled back.
An extremely elegant and fierce execution from behind!
The Human Emperor's head with a tall hat on rolled to the ground, and his rotten body fell to the ground like mud. Both the head and the corpse turned into ashes and dissipated at the same time.
“It’s over now.”
Seeing Yatagarasu execute the enemy cleanly and neatly, Kamiyagawa took a few steps closer with his sword.
Although he knew from the beginning that it would be easy for his big bird to deal with the enemy, he didn't expect it to be so easy.
In just a blink of an eye, the battle was over.
In other words, even though the zombie-like "Human Emperor" is wearing very special clothes, but...
It turned out to be a soldier.
At least in terms of strength, he is no match for Yatagarasu.
Of course, it may also be that the big bird raised by Kamiya is really too strong.
Speaking of which, Yatagarasu was apparently not idle during the days of recuperation on the Kamiya River.
Since I got my new weapon, I have already developed a set of smooth little combos using dual scythes.
The Wind God's Scythe was given to the right person. It should be able to perform very well in her hands.
The future is expected!
"There is no loot, not even any soul crystals produced... What on earth was that thing we just killed?"
Kamiyakawa stared at the place where the Human Emperor disappeared, not having much clue.
Yatagarasu placed the long-handled sickle across his waist and came to his senses: "Did I act too quickly?"
"No, that thing obviously can't communicate, and we won't get any clues by keeping it. It's not that easy to figure out what secrets this place has, and we must start from other places." Kamiya shook his head. He seemed to be in high spirits at the moment. "I have a feeling that we will definitely find some good gains in the capital of Mizuho. Let's take a look around."
……
The capital of Shuisui State is not small in area.
Although the people and grass here are sealed by strange crystals, the entire city is still full of signs of life.
It seems as if people were still living here yesterday. It is easy to imagine the bustling scene with cars and horses coming and going and people bustling about.
Moreover, after all, this was the capital of the Kingdom of God on Earth. Therefore, during the initial exploration of Kamiya and his party, they could occasionally find slightly valuable materials and props in the houses of the Mizuho Capital.
Usually, the Zashiki hidden in the golden ball bell is aware of the surrounding environment and rings the bell to give a reminder. When Kamiya River passes by, he puts the target object into the [Mirage Bag].
Well, I picked it up.
I think no one wants it if I put it here.
However, nothing I picked up along the way was anything worth mentioning.
Props and materials of this level can be picked up by Cat Shopkeeper and Golden Bear during their outings.
These "exquisite little pieces of junk" that may or may never be used will basically end up gathering dust in the warehouse managed by Kojimai. They are not even worthy of being kept in Kamiyagawa's [Mirage Bag] and carried around.
What was stored in his cloth bag were all carefully sorted high-value spoils!
Kamiya is no longer the young boy who would be happy for a long time after picking up an unsuitable hatchet in the Novice Village.
But no matter what, it is still quite interesting to "lick the map and pick up trash" in a new area.
The value lies in having it.
During the exploration, Yatagarasu followed Kamiya River all the time.
As a goddess, from the perspective of Yatagarasu, the things Kamiya River picked up along the way had no practical value.
But while the latter was excitedly picking up trash in front, she just stood behind and watched patiently without saying a word.
During this process, Kamiya and Yatagarasu encountered three more zombie enemies. Like the one they met at the beginning, they were also wearing the tasseled crown and black robes that symbolized their high status, and they were also confused and unable to communicate, and were also vulnerable.
The fourth zombie of the Human Emperor that appeared last suddenly jumped out from the corner with a roar when Shen Gu was picking up something.
The outcome is predictable -
Kamiyagawa, who had already noticed this, drew his sword and cut it in half.
After chopping down the overconfident enemy, he picked up a "nice little piece of trash" from the ground.
A jade ring with a chip on it.
[Item name: Meaningless Ring]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect: None]
[Explanation: This is a ring with only a small amount of spiritual energy remaining. Although it has no specific use, it can be considered a qualified souvenir, proving that you have been to Ashihara Mizuho Country.]
When picking up trash on the Kamiya River, the Yatagarasu still follows behind.
However, the gaze under the hood shifted to the other side of the street.
In the corner of a residential house, there was a large wooden barrel placed against the wall.
Perhaps infected by the leader's diligent and thrifty spirit of picking up small pieces of trash, Yatagarasu had the urge to open the barrel and take a look.
She could feel something in there.
Kamiya Kawa had the same feeling. After picking up the ring on the ground, he planned to go over there to open the box.
Since Yatagarasu came over on her own initiative, let’s give her the “little surprise” from the unboxing.
The moment the barrel was opened.
"Wow!"
A cry of surprise came from the barrel.
Then there were clanging sounds, and a large wooden barrel fell over, with a small head popping out from inside.
It looks like there is a boy hiding in the barrel.
Unlike those zombie-like "Human Emperors", there were no signs of decay on the boy's body.
He was badly knocked unconscious from the fall, and then he got up in a hurry.
The boy was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked to be about the same age as the Kamiya family's Huajing, but he was not as delicate and beautiful as the little whale.
The first living person I saw after entering the Mizuho capital.
It seems that a hidden version was found in the blind box.
"Not those monsters?"
At this time, the frightened boy finally saw the appearance of the person who came and calmed down a little.
The person in front of him was wearing a thick black robe, holding two sickles in his hands, and with two pairs of large, dark and gorgeous wings folded behind him.
She seems to be a rather mysterious older sister.
Although the boy could not see the sister's specific appearance under the hood of the black robe.
But he had a feeling that this sister must be very beautiful.
The little boy looked up and stared at the Yatagarasu in a daze. In fact, he didn't think much about it, he was simply attracted by the peculiar temperament of the Yatagarasu, and he didn't go to the Yatagarasu in a rude manner.
"Monster? Is that what you mean?"
Kamiyagawa came closer and, while observing the boy, he pointed with the blade of his knife at the corpse of a zombie lying on the ground, which was turning into ashes.
Yatagarasu retreated calmly behind Kamiya, and she didn't seem to have any desire to talk.
Anyway, just leave the questioning and other matters to the leader.
The leader she served was a man of eloquence.
"Big sister and big brother? Ah! You killed that monster!" The boy became visibly excited.
"And he killed more than one."
"Brother and sister are really brave!"
"Oh, don't be anxious. Tell me, who are you?"
Shen Gu did not put away the knife immediately, but held the famous knife in his hand and began to interrogate. As the master of the world, as long as he paid close attention to the emotional fluctuations of the person he was talking to, no one could lie to him.
It seems that there are some practical benefits from picking up trash along the way.
You can definitely get more information from questioning a living person than from those zombies.
"Me? My name is Ibo."
The boy named Iwa looked at Kamiya with a slightly strange look in his eyes.
The boy didn't seem as innocent as he appeared, but his reply didn't sound like a lie.
More importantly, he seemed to have some doubts about the fact that Kamiyagawa questioned him.
"I was supposed to live in the capital of Mizuho. But something happened here, and I was taken away by some adults who escaped from here when I was still a baby."
"Iwa?" Kamiyagawa repeated the boy's name, and seemed to have thought of something, and continued to ask, "You said that something unexpected happened in the capital of Mizuho. What do you mean?"
"The emperor who ruled this place was crazy. That was Hikoha Ryotake. Oh, the adults said he was not normal to begin with, and then he went completely crazy. He captured people everywhere and sealed them in strange crystal stones, which is what it looks like now. Hikoha Ryotake killed many people in Shuisui Country for no reason, and my parents were killed because they resisted him. Well, this is what the adults who were with me told me about the past."
"Hikoha Ryobu, the thirteenth generation of Tensun. Did the adults with you tell me why he wanted to seal people into crystal stones?"
"It seems to be for eternal life, for becoming a god."
The boy replied, his emotions still showing no obvious fluctuations.
Immortality and deification.
Although Hikoba Ryoutake is the descendant of Tensun, his ancestor is the male god Amaterasu and Susanoo who were washed out of the Totsuka sword, Amennin Homi-no-Mikoto.
But according to the information currently known, the lineage of Tensun has started to die of natural causes since they came to Earth in Awahara.
And Yanbo Lianwu is the thirteenth generation descendant.
Probably in the era of Hikoba Ryoubu, there was already a huge gap between the so-called human emperors and the true gods. These human emperors were probably just "human seeds" among the human grass, and their lifespans were even shorter than the monsters that appeared later.
"Then have you heard of Princess Changpan?" Kamiya asked again.
"Oh! I know this goddess. I heard the adults mention her. Yanbo Lianwu has been looking for Changpanji, as if this goddess is the key to his immortality. But she is a goddess. How could she possibly satisfy the wish of a bad emperor like Yanbo Lianwu?"
From Iwa's tone, he didn't respect Hikoba Ryoutake, but he respected Nagaiwa-hime, who was a god.
This is also consistent with Kamiyagawa's previous speculation.
In the era of Hikoba Ryoutake, probably because of the revival of the underworld or something like that, even Kunitsu God had probably disappeared from the land of "little strategic significance" and probably rarely showed up.
The gap between humans and gods widened further.
Perhaps the former Awahara was a place that was not fought over by military strategists during the War of Gods?
Instead, it began to become the kingdom of the wenchongs and later humans and monsters.
But, Iwa-chan, the goddess is not something you will never see.
Big brother, I stay with the goddesses all day long!
Apart from anything else, the big sister in front of you with beautiful wings is actually a real goddess.
Kamiya certainly wouldn't show off in front of a kid, so he just continued the serious topic: "Since you said that Hikoha Ryobu has gone crazy, then why did you come back to Mizuho Capital?"
"Come back? I'm not back."
"Oh?"
"I'm just dreaming." Ibo said as a matter of course, "I often dream about the capital of Mizuho mentioned by adults, which is here. I don't know why it is like this, and there are always those terrible monsters in my dreams. However, this is the first time I have seen you, big brother and big sister, in a dream. Why... did you appear in my dream?"
"You mean a dream..." Kamiya Kawa had long noticed the strangeness of Iba. No matter what the child said, Kamiya would not be too surprised. "Iba, let me ask you, how long have you been away from Mizuho Kunito? I mean, the time in 'reality' after you wake up from this 'dream'."
"I'm ten years old this year, so it's ten years."
"That's it."
Kamiya turned his head to look at the Yatagarasu, only to see that the black hood just shook slightly twice.
Dream.
The Yatagarasu was trapped in the Great Peach God's dream for thousands of years.
She knew all too well what it felt like to be in a dream.
The dream-eating tapir under Kamiya Kawa did not give any warnings after entering the capital area of Mizuho Province.
From the perspective of these "veterans", the place they are in now, the so-called Mizuho Capital, is definitely not a dream.
Iba did not notice the little movements between Kamiyagawa and Yatagarasu. After being questioned, his eyes fell on Kamiya's left hand which was not holding the knife.
Kamiya's left hand was holding the [meaningless ring].
"That ring." Ibo started tentatively. "That's mine. The adults who were with me said that it was something my mother left for me. However, the last time I had this dream, I lost the ring because I was chased by a monster, and I couldn't find it after I woke up. Big brother, can you... give it back to me? Maybe if I get the ring back in my dream, I can find it when I wake up."
"can."
Kamiyagawa casually handed the ring to Iha.
The latter accepted it with great joy.
The next second, without any warning, the strange boy with half a leg still sticking in the barrel disappeared without a trace along with the ring.
