Just as the maid was speaking and leading the people behind her into the side hall, Lu Jian saw at the same time that the words on the paintings and calligraphy hanging in the room were twisted and crooked, forming a system of indifferent and cold words.
【Wajima】
[In the thirty-second year of Shenwu, all wastes are waiting to be revitalized]
[The officiating miko is about to step down, and the political circle on the island is in a state of turmoil. Political opponents are sometimes more terrifying than the filth that devours lives. 】
[A long journey, just to escort a witch. History will not remember your existence, and people will not know your name. Only pure fire can accommodate everything and illuminate the dark sea]
【There is no war in spring, only the sorrow of separation】
[Task requirement: Escort the shrine maiden to Wajima Taisha Shrine]
[Task requirement: Witness the birth of the new officiating witch]
[Difficulty: Alienation]
The moment he saw these words, Lu Jian felt a subtle sense of dizziness.
This has never happened before.
At the same time, Lu Jian saw changes under the words of these systems.
[Invasion of the Chosen One detected, mission changed]
[Task requirement: Escort the shrine maiden to Wajima Taisha Shrine]
[Task requirement: Witness the birth of the new officiating witch]
[Task requirement: Find and kill the invading enemy Chosen Ones]
[Difficulty: Alienation]
"Invasion of the Chosen?"
Lu Tiao immediately thought of the three people from foreign lands he saw on Pohnpei Island. Their goal was to awaken the evil god in Lu Tiao's world. So, what were these hostile chosen ones doing on He Island?
Maybe it's to thwart Lu Tiao's escort mission?
He thought of a lot.
For example, according to previous speculations, the Silent Land can control the time for the Chosen One to arrive in a foreign land. Then, perhaps Lu Tiao is currently in the future Hejima. If the genius witch he escorted did not successfully arrive at Hejima
If the Grand Shrine becomes the officiating shrine maiden, then Wajima will be attacked by filth and eventually destroyed due to power disputes among the upper echelons.
Then the chosen ones of other gods will naturally come to kill the witch.
Of course, as a good young man of the new era who has studied materialist thought and has a people's view of history, Lu Jian believes that this mission may not be so critical.
After all, this is a "scene" constructed by the gods.
Maybe Lu Kan succeeded in saving the miko, maybe not, but it doesn't mean that Wajima was completely destroyed when the miko died.
It may be that the shrine maiden is gone and Wajima Taisha Shrine's ability to clean up filth is much weaker, so the time of destruction is advanced. It may also be that the shrine maiden is too powerful and Wajima Taisha Shrine is burned clean by the clean fire in advance.
Probably this degree of influence on history.
The destruction of a world, apart from the influence of one or two heroes, is more about the process of history. It is not the heroes that create the current situation, but the current situation that creates the heroes.
Just like what Lu Jian did in the demonic tide of the Kingdom of Darkness, even without him, at least hundreds of years later, the Kingdom of Darkness will still exist. Maybe with his existence, fewer people will die in the Kingdom of Darkness in these hundreds of years.
, changed some history, but the general trend remains unchanged.
If Wajima had been following what Iris said and relied on those powerful families to decide the candidates for the officiating shrine maiden, then destruction would be almost inevitable.
Whether this miko survives or not is just a matter of whether it happens sooner or later.
"Be polite and don't stare at others."
The calamus beside him reminded Lu Tan, and he came back to his senses.
When he saw the system prompts just now, Lu Tan's target was the girl sitting opposite.
He focused his eyes and found that the other party was also staring at him, as if silently reprimanding Lu Tan for his impoliteness.
This is a young girl, wearing red and white clothes. This is the style of a miko. Lu Jian once saw her on Utashima.
She is very beautiful, with the youthful and somewhat mature temperament of a girl, thick ink-like hair, a little amber eyes, sitting upright and meticulous.
"Feel sorry."
Lu Tan looked away, but the girl was still staring at him.
"I am the mercenary Chang Pu who is in charge of piloting the ship this time, and this is my subordinate Lu Jing."
Calamus spoke, trying to lighten the mood.
"amber."
The girl only said this.
After a moment, Lu Jian realized that this was her name.
Because the eyes are amber, are they called amber?
"Lord Amber, we will do our best to ensure your safety on this journey. I just hope that we can be honest with each other and trust each other."
Calamus continued.
"About this route..."
When Iris said this, the girl Kohaku listened very seriously and seemed to want to write it all down, so that even if the escort had something wrong, she could go to Wajima Taisha Shrine on her own.
After saying that, she glanced at Lu Tan again.
"Is there something on my face?"
Lu Tan was curious.
Amber hesitated to speak, and finally put his hands in front of himself and pulled at his collar.
"Your clothes, collar..."
Lu Tiao lowered his head and saw that he had loosened his collar just now because the warm air outside was too stuffy.
He adjusted his collar and saw Amber finally relaxed.
Is this guy still an obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Lu Tan immediately sat up straighter.
Watching the girl in red and white clothes leave, the two of them did not get up immediately.
"Is this the most powerful witch in the world? If she can become the officiating witch, maybe the sea will really be quieter."
Calamus said with some emotion.
"Go back and pack your things quickly. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
Lu Tan followed Chang Pu back to the place where the mercenaries lived.
It was a villa provided by Amber's family, and there were several mercenaries inside. Lu Tian roughly learned through chatting that the composition of these mercenaries was very complex, including former soldiers, some warriors who had practiced martial arts, and even some
The priests who were expelled from the shrine, etc., these people are pirates in another position. They are just mercenaries who get paid to do things. They usually have a better official status. Because they dare to take risks, they are more familiar with many complex waters than those who practice it.
At night, Lu Kanda was so moved that he finally had a normal meal at Wajima and downed three large bowls.
While his companions were all drunkenly singing, Lu Tan decided to go out for some fresh air.
The courtyard is very large, with luxuriant vegetation. Under the cool and bright moonlight, you can see cherry blossoms falling in the wind. The fallen cherry blossoms at night show a light purple color, which is even more enchanting.
Lu Tan looked at the flowers for a while, did some stretching exercises, and then heard some strange sounds.
Whoosh——
Thumb——
He followed the sound and saw a spacious courtyard.
It's not so much a courtyard as it is a dojo or an archery range.
There are several targets hanging on one side, and a girl is standing on the wooden floor some distance away.
Amber stood there wearing a set of clothes that bound her chest, white socks on her feet, and holding a long bow.
She looked intently into the void ahead, her gaze not focused on the target, as if she was staring at something more distant.
After a gap that was long enough to make people think it was a still scene, Kohaku slowly raised the arrow in his hand, and pulled up the bow string with an elegant posture like a dance.
If you shoot an arrow like this, it will definitely hit.
After Lu Tan saw this gesture, he was filled with emotion.
There was another long wait, and just when Lu Tan felt that he should leave, Amber let go of the tight bowstring.
Without any suspense, boringly and boringly, the arrow buzzed and hit the very center of the target, accurately splitting the previous arrow into two from the middle.
Amber maintained the position of shooting arrows for a while, and after a long time, she finally relaxed.
