Chapter 96 Road Encounters
"Then we bet on this legendary figure?" asked Taiyuan Jiamei.
"Well, let's bet on her first. Since her surname is Artoria, it proves that she has at least passed the test of the Lake of Silence. In any case, it is impossible to lose before the final." Takagi Qiang thought for a while and said.
"Will she meet Yayoi-kun in advance? Yayoi-kun came from the qualifiers and was randomly assigned to that area."
"No, since Yayoi-kun has just entered the Swordsman Association, he has participated in this martial soul qualifier. There must be a pusher from the royal organization behind him. Even if he plays from the qualifiers, he will definitely be included in the potential seed player. In the division, he will not be divided into the same area as seed players like Artoria."
"Okay, do we have to bet besides Artoria?"
"No, no one else is absolutely sure. Since we are not opening a bet, there is no need to intervene in too much bets without control."
"OK."

"Zhongpingjun, according to the information, this time, the European side was led by the legendary Artoria, and a total of nine Golden Knight-level experts signed up to participate in the Martial Soul Sect. It seems that the visitors are not good!"
In a very ordinary office, Hasegawa Nakahei listened to his subordinates' reports. He is already forty-two years old this year. Time has passed year by year, but he doesn't know when his ambition will be able to be displayed.
Hasegawa Nakalipi originally had no surname Hasegawa, but Lin.
Eight years ago, Tokyo cracked down on gangs and his eldest daughter Zuo Zhen died inexplicably in a car accident. At that time, he had entered the police system under the name of Hasegawa Nakahei. Originally, his family wanted him to go back and inherit the position of President of the Milin Association, but Hasegawa Nakahei was very clear that no matter how big the underworld is, it cannot be recognized by the mainstream of society. He finally climbed out of the mud pit and would never jump in again.
Therefore, he recommended his friend Takagi to serve as the president of the Sanlin Association. To say that the Sanlin Association was originally the Qidao organization established by the Takagi family, Kobayashi family and the Lin family. Although the three families have their own ups and downs for more than a hundred years, they have always stood firm with the spirit of helping each other. Therefore, the descendants of the three families are actually considered brothers and sisters.
Since three years ago, with the intelligence and financial support of the Sanlin Association, he has been reminding himself that the deputy director of the National Security Bureau is not an ideal position, and he must break out of the circle of the Security Bureau as soon as possible!
After all, a position like the National Security Administration is never suitable to come to the forefront. It will not only not help but be a drag on him when he displays his political ambitions.
The Lin family (Hassegawa family) is not short of money, and he does not enter the bureaucratic system for money.
When he entered the bureaucratic system, he did not want to enter the National Security Bureau system. However, he worked well in the police system, so he was naturally valued by the superiors and moved to the national security system.
Since childhood, Hasegawa Nakahei has been very ambitious and hopes to change Japan's national status through his own efforts. In his opinion, Japan has inherently major flaws.
Japan has a small territory, scarce resources, and has a lot of natural disasters. With such a land location, it is difficult for it to become a world-class powerhouse. Not to mention other countries, if they build a large laboratory, they will start planning and construction as long as they find a piece of land with safe and stable geological environment characteristics.
In this terrifying place in Japan, you can’t find such a land at all! You can imagine that an experiment that requires high stability is halfway through the earthquake! Damn it, only Japanese scientists are deeply touched by this feeling!
Therefore, in scientific research, the development of architecture is one of the fastest-growing disciplines in the world. There is no way. If this discipline does not develop, it will not even dare to build high-rise buildings, let alone advanced laboratories.
In Hasegawa Nakahei, Japan's development prospects actually have only three directions. One is to completely obey the Celestial Empire. As part of the Celestial Empire strategy, it is to share the dividends of the Celestial Empire's development, but there are potential dangers in the middle. After all, Japan is not a province of the Celestial Empire, and sharing dividends will definitely be behind the Celestial Empire's own people. No one wants to experience the taste of a second-class citizen.
Then, the second direction is Japan's own independent development. Japan is currently in a very favorable situation. Exchanges in the Asian Economic Circle and the Americas and the European Economic Circle are mainly based on shipping. In the next few decades, there is little possibility of this communication method change. Therefore, as an island country, Japan has a unique geographical location. As long as it maintains good relations with various countries, it will definitely develop smoothly in terms of economy.
In other words, Japan cannot completely subordinate to the Celestial Empire, and it is best to maintain a neutral state that tends toward the Celestial Empire, which is the most beneficial choice for Japan.
These are just superficial choices, and they are all choices that rely heavily on the international environment. In Hasegawa Nakahei's view, these are not Japan's future. Japan's biggest disadvantage is its large population, small land, and harsh environment. However, Japan's biggest advantage is its large population and its average cultural level ranks among the best in the world!
In Hasegawa Nakahei's view, Japan's future lies in scientific research and education.
In his opinion, the current popular patent law in the world has changed from protecting the interests of scientific researchers to preventing other developers from making progress. The so-called patent trap is an intuitive manifestation of this obstacle.
Patent trap is that some companies have applied for patents but do not publish them or produce products. These patent applications are specifically used to prevent competitors from developing new products.
As long as the opponent develops new products and puts them into the market, even if the opponent's new products contain countless unique technologies, only if the appearance infringes on this patent mine, it will be trapped in patent litigation.
Regardless of the success or failure of the lawsuit, at least during the lawsuit, the product cannot be put on the market smoothly. Often, this lawsuit period will be maliciously dragged for a long time until the initial investment of the product cannot generate profits, but a large amount of loans will be paid, until the company that develops new products is dragged down.
In this era, capital has overwhelmed technology and became an obstacle to the development of science and technology. Hasegawa Nakahei believes that if he has the opportunity to become the Prime Minister of Japan, then the first thing is to develop education and scientific research, change the patent law, and no longer allow large enterprises to suppress the development of new technologies through market monopoly and financial and human resources.
Maybe there is a long way to go, but if you don’t work hard, how can you know that it will not be achieved?
But if you want to climb to the point where you have the opportunity to show your ambitions, you must at least climb to the level of a sub-chief. This is still a long way from him.
But now he has a chance!
Because the security department he is responsible for is responsible for the preservation of the martial soul finals, he has the opportunity to contact the royal staff. Then, if the preservation work he is responsible for can be completed smoothly in this martial soul final, and escort the royal family through the rights in his hands and obtain outstanding profits, he will probably be appreciated by the royal family.
With the support of the royal family, coupled with the secret layout in the bureaucratic system, voters, and corporate consortiums over the years, you can break out of the bureaucratic system and join the politician system through campaigns, so as to stand out in a short time.
Now he has a candidate - Yayoi Motoka. The most wonderful thing is that this person was unknown in the Kendo world before, and almost suddenly jumped out. Through the news from the Jianhaohui and the news he obtained through private channels, Yayoi Motoka has a great chance to get the Wuhun Cup.
Then, there is a lot of room for operation. If the operation is good, the royal family can even exceed the profits of the War Soul Cup in previous years.
As a direct hero, Hasegawa Nakahei believed that he could gain the attention and training of the royal family. After all, the royal family has also wanted to weaken the influence of major consortiums over the years, so they have also explored a lot of tentacles and went deep into the government. Such things can be hidden from others, but they can't be hidden from Hasegawa Nakahei, as the deputy director of the National Security Bureau.
His political ambitions and royal family expectations should be consistent, both of which weaken the monopoly consortium and at the same time strengthen the entire Japanese country.

"Everyone, this time, we didn't just get a martial soul cup and we were going to achieve our goal. The last time Teutonic horn was destroyed by Japan's Oshima Hui."
"This time, we want to teach the Japanese a lesson. If the top four of this martial soul qualifiers are all our European nobles, let's see what other faces in Japan call the martial soul qualifier the world's number one samurai competition."
"Due to God, please take it down in person. When you get the Wuhun Cup, the Pope will come to congratulate you in person." Ferruqiao certainly knows the historical grudge between the Knight Artoria and the Holy See. However, in this era, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother, the life of the nobles is worse than that of the Holy See. Therefore, over the years, the Holy See has quite similar relationships with the nobles, including the British royal family!
At least the Holy See still believers in the dedication, and the nobles from all over the world have just been named. Better to be idol stars, but the worst is that they can be happy for a long time after they are just going to be news.
Therefore, the conflict between the Holy See and the Artoria family has faded. Of course, some deadly members in the Holy See still remember their grudges. However, the Artoria family is the British royal family. Of course, there is not much left in terms of real power, but in terms of influence, it is not necessarily much worse than the Holy See, especially in the one-acre and three-point land in the British Isles, it has a high prestige and is much higher than the Holy See.
The selection meeting of the princes of each generation of Queen of England (husband selection meeting) is so grand that it is even more solemn than the Martial Soul Decision.
Unfortunately, the queen cannot choose a husband every year, and it can be held once every ten years. Every time it is held, it cannot be divorced by the queen. The reason for re-electing a husband can only be said to be a replacement of the throne, and it is passed down to the name of the next generation of queens (if it is frequent, the Elizabeth/Artolia family will not have so many heirs.).
In this way, the income of the British royal family is far inferior to that of the Japanese royal family who held the Martial Spirit Trial every year for ten years.
Therefore, the British royal family has been jealous of the Japanese royal family's big fat meat.
"As the companions who are teaming up with the European region to participate in the competition, we have the right to apply for the organizer to divide you into different competition areas so as not to meet early and cause killing each other. Under God, please choose the competition area first. We will apply to the organizing committee for adjustments based on your choice."
"Whatever you want, then I'll choose the first competition area. You can continue to discuss. I want to go out for a walk. When I come to Japan for the first time, I have to taste the specialty food from the East!"
"God! God! Don't go out alone, please be sure to bring your translator and attendant."

"Yuan Wajun, is this the place where the Wuhun Jue is held? It's so lively." Although Sakura Kobayashi couldn't go to the scene to watch the match between Yagyu Motoka, it would be nice to come here to see it, so today I took Yagyu Motoka here to go shopping here.
Recently, the Martial Spirit Decree is about to officially begin. Whether it is contestants or spectators who come to watch the game on the spot, they have flocked to Japan from all over the world, bringing a large number of tourists and business opportunities to Tokyo.
Of course, the side effect is that it has become crowded here. Japan is originally densely populated, and with so many foreign populations, it certainly seems prosperous. It is humble to say that it is prosperous. If you look down from the upper floor, you can only see the heads, not the road surface.
Forty years ago, such competitions for signing life and death documents could only be seen in gangster betting. The so-called black fist refers to this kind of competition.
Of course, due to illegality, Black Boxing can't make much money. At least compared with open competitions like boxing, Black Boxing players actually earn very little, but they have to fight for their lives.
Warriors have few ways out in this era. They worked hard for ten years and developed their skills, but found that they could only be security guards. It was not until Emperor Shibu of Japan was furious that he held a martial soul ritual in Japan because of his title of East Asia's sick husband that he opened a way out for many unsuccessful warriors.
Therefore, for warriors, the Martial Soul Sect is an important way to change their destiny. Of course, the United States and Europe followed suit and each opened similar martial arts competitions, just to avoid forming a head-on competition with the Martial Soul Sect. The United States became a fighting competition. Because Europe was obsessed with the aristocratic airs, it turned into a horse-riding fighting competition event.
"Wow, Yuanhe, there are people performing flying knives there, let's go and have a look!" Perhaps the street performers in other places usually sing and dancing poems, but in this sports park where the martial soul ritual is held, the vast majority of the people who perform art are dancing and playing guns.
What are the big stones on the chest, flying forks around (these are traditional Chinese art projects in the Celestial Empire), swallowing swords and spitting fire (there are Indian styles, and there are also Chinese styles), people pulling cars (this is a traditional Russian Hercules performance project), etc., it is very lively.
"Aloan, Kangtian Hotel is really great. There are so many delicious foods. Why don't we have such a hotel in the UK?" A girl in a blue dress complained while walking.
"Your Highness, please be careful. If it is recorded by someone who is interested, it will become a scandal."
"Under God, our UK is the initiator of animal protectionism. It is impossible for a hotel like the Kangtian Hotel to protect animals as food to establish a foothold in our UK."
"Haha, don't worry, Airoan, Frank, our voice can't be heard. I'm just complaining, but according to the tradition of our family, how can I think of protecting animals? I remember that our Artoria family always eats well, which is really good. How can I think of protecting animals?"
“—————————It seems that your grandfather, Prince Allensi, was the first to propose the concept of animal protectionism.”
"Ah! Grandpa really hates it. Didn't grandma object?" The girl in the blue dress asked dissatisfiedly.
"No, Her Majesty the Queen supports this proposal."
"It's simply a violation--, huh?" The girl suddenly looked up and looked forward.
At the same time, Yagyu Motoka, who accompanied his fiancée to the high platform where he performed a flying knife, suddenly turned his head and looked to the back side.
"What's wrong with Yuanhe?" Kobayashi suddenly stopped when she found her fiancé walking beside her. She looked up and asked.
From Kobayashi's perspective, looking from bottom to top, his fiancé Yagyu Tomokazu's eyes narrowed into a gap, and in the gap, the green sperm seemed to be about to overflow from under his eyelids.
"What's wrong with God?" The girl who suddenly stopped surprised the two big men around her, but found that an unprecedented light burst out from the girl's green eyes!
"Nothing, Sakura, I just saw a very powerful person!" Yagyu Moto and I smiled at their fiancée, took their fiancée's arm, and continued to walk towards the stage where the flying knife was performed.
"Dire?Dire?What have you seen?"
"It's nothing. I saw an interesting person, haha, I didn't expect that there would be such gains when I came to Japan!" said the blonde girl happily.
"Who? Do I need me to call him over?" Ai Luoan looked at the blonde girl, and saw a crowd of people standing shoulder to shoulder. Who knows who was talking about?
"No, since he appears here, he must have come to participate in the Martial Soul Degree. Sooner or later, he will appear in front of me." The blonde girl happily hummed the British tune in a slight tone, turned her head to walk towards the high-end hotel where they lived.
"Is God so happy?"
"The last time I ate puffer fish, your highness was so happy."
