Chapter 1911 The storm wrapping around the mountain top
"I asked, do you feel that the atmosphere in the village is not quite right recently?"
In an izakaya in Kurokawakami Village, a woman who looked divine but a little...lazy was lying on the bar talking drunkenly, completely destroying her temperament.
Echigo no Ryū has completely degenerated into an alcoholic.
"I'm talking about you!"
A man in a striped suit looked as if he hated steel and looked at Nagao Kagetora, who was Uesugi Kenshin, lying in the izakaya.
Takeda Harunobu, the Tiger of Kai, shook his head helplessly.
"There has been something unusual happening in the village for a long time, and you are still hanging around in this izakaya, and you don't say anything to the proprietress!"
Medusa looked indifferent.
"As long as Mr. Uesugi can pay for his drinks, why should I drive away my guests."
That makes perfect sense.
Takeda Harunobu was almost suffocated by these two women.
"I said you are still the Echigo Dragon who defeated my Kai Tiger!"
Takeda Harunobu gave Nagao Kagetora a blow with his sword on the head.
"Ah it hurts!"
Nagao Kagetora made a sound like a cat meowing.
"What Kai Echigo, you're the one who's drunk!"
Nagao Kagetora stared at Takeda Harunobu and puffed up his cheeks.
"Why?"
Takeda Harunobu was stunned.
The Tiger of Kai, the Dragon of Echigo...?
What is that thing?
Aren't you and Kagetora just... two ordinary villagers of Kurokawakami Village...?
...
The flame does not burn from the beginning.
Because not everyone is qualified to become a flame.
The black shadow stood at the top of Kurokawa Mountain, looking down at everything below the mountain with desolate eyes.
The people gathered here are heroes.
He is an unyielding hero in all eras.
Everyone is strong, and everyone has a legend of their own.
But has anything after the legend been paid attention to?
It's as if as long as you don't pay attention to it, it never exists.
It doesn't matter...
Willfulness can exist.
Willfulness is necessary.
This is proof that the heroic spirit was once a human being. Since he is a human being, he has some emotions like this.
He lowered his hand into the lake water, and ripples appeared on the black lake surface.
Have I ever regretted it?
In fact, I regretted it.
But there are some things that if you don’t do them, you will not only regret them later.
The god standing on the lake smiled mockingly and picked up a puddle of water.
Wow——
The color of heaven and earth changes.
.......
"What happened!?"
In an instant, a strong wind blew up, and Takasugi Shinsaku almost lost his footing, but he still managed to hold on to the lapel of Samura's clothes to avoid being blown away.
"Xueina! Master!"
Mother Bear's hands became huge, and she grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka with one hand and Hoshikuma Yukina with the other.
The strong wind came and went quickly. By the time Zuocun could react, the wind had already ended.
"...Who was that just now?"
"I don't know, but...is the lake getting darker?"
Takasugi Shinsaku patted his chest, and then looked solemnly at the lake.
The lake water turned pure black. Unlike before, it only looked black but was actually still clear after being held in the hand. Now Kurokawa Lake...the black water is the lake water.
call--
While several people were still in a daze, sorting out the situation, the strong wind stirred again.
This time, neither Mother Bear nor Zuo Cun could stand firm and were blown out by the strong wind.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——”
Takasugi Shinsaku screamed in the sky. Samura used his sleeves to block the strong wind, as if he wanted to see what the storm was about. Mother Bear closed her eyes tightly and hugged Yukina and Ritsuka tightly.
Don't let go in your arms.
And it was at this moment that Takasugi Shinsaku saw it.
"That, that is-"
There seemed to be someone standing in the gathering storm.
Standing in the lake, a black figure!
"who is it!?"
He roared loudly in the air, raised the musket in his hand, and pulled the trigger towards the figure.
Bang!
"Ouch!"
Takasugi Shinsaku watched as his bullet was shot out, hitting the figure in the storm without any deviation.
But the other party didn't waver at all.
Before he was stunned, the pain of falling to the ground came, and he screamed in pain involuntarily.
"Takasugi!"
Zuo Cun ran over and helped Takasugi up from the ground.
"Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that my butt hurts... By the way, Samura, did you see it?" Takasugi got up from the ground with a grin on his face and patted his butt, but his eyes were still somewhat serious.
of.
"See? You mean there is something in the storm?"
Zuocun frowned and raised his head.
Looking at the scenery above, he completely understood what was going on.
They were "thrown" out.
The storm formed a barrier, and the top of the mountain seemed to be sealed off.
"There was a person in the storm. I don't know if he was a mountain god. Anyway, I shot him...but he seemed to be fine."
Click——
Takasugi put away his musket.
"...You were a little too impatient. In fact, you shouldn't have fired."
Zuo Cun said helplessly.
If a figure appears in the storm, it is not necessarily the mountain god. Even if it is the mountain god, it is not necessarily the culprit that caused the current situation in the village.
It is indeed unnecessary to open fire without a clear investigation.
"I'm sorry, but I think I've seen him, so I have to do something after all, right?" Takasugi didn't seem to care, "and..."
He raised his head and rolled his eyes.
"The other party obviously doesn't want us to continue investigating on the top of the mountain, right?"
Mother Bear put down Ritsuka and Xuena, walked along the mountain road to the front of the storm, and stretched out her hand to the storm.
"Well--"
The moment she touched the storm, she showed a somewhat pained expression.
When I took out the hand that had reached into the storm, it was already dripping with blood.
"I'll help you treat it."
Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly grabbed the mother bear's hand and performed a simple healing magic.
"...Who is stopping all this? Is it the mountain god? But if it is the mountain god, why...?"
Zuocun thought deeply.
"Anyway, I probably won't be able to continue the investigation today."
Shaking his head and holding his sword on his shoulder, Takasugi Shinsaku glanced at the storm.
"Although I don't know who doesn't want us to continue the in-depth investigation, but since the anomalies in the village are still continuing, we will definitely meet again in the end. Zuocun, you don't have to be so anxious."
"...I don't want to be anxious, but sometimes things are chasing me, you know."
Zuo Cun sighed and put He He into the scabbard of his sword.
"Let's go and see the shrine."
"At least ask Souna and the others if they know anything."
