Sanada Makoto looked at the majestic ship opposite and swept his eyes, trying to find the figure of the legendary miko.
It is said that this shrine maiden summoned the pure fire on the sea and destroyed the filth. She was called the "Mikoma of the Living God" and was sought after by the people.
But for Sanada Makoto, this is just a tactic to attract people's hearts. Since ancient times, any of those mikos have not claimed that they are the real God's Chosen, and that they are the existences chosen by the gods, in order to claim their legitimacy.
.
The current Kohaku is just one of these shrine maidens.
In fact, Sanada Makoto did not believe that this miko was really as talented as the legend said. He believed that this was just a prestige created by her family to make the ignorant public support her lies.
He didn't see the miko as he wished, it didn't matter, anyway, he was just trying to stop the other party to let him know who was in power on this island.
Sanada Makoto saw a priest and a man dressed as a ronin standing at the bow of the ship. The two were looking at this side and whispering.
At this time, he saw the observer on the opponent's main mast beginning to wave the flag in his hand.
"We're here to help you?"
Makoto Sanada read out the content of the semaphore.
"What do these idiots want to do?"
When he was a little curious, he saw the man dressed as a ronin raising his hand.
The next moment, the ship that was originally lying in the middle of the channel suddenly began to move forward.
The boat was moving very fast and it was so sudden that no one could react.
Sanada Makoto lost his balance and fell to the deck, knocking out half of his teeth.
He got up and shouted hurriedly.
"Who the hell is driving the boat? Stop it!"
However, the sailor's answer was unexpected.
"We have no sails hoisted, my lord, all our sails are furled..."
Sanada Makoto raised his head and glanced at his mast. Indeed, all the sails were furled. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the ship to move even half a step.
Is there an undercurrent, or...
He looked back at the boat carrying the witches that was slowly sailing through the channel. There were two people on the bow. The priest covered his face with a fan so his expression could not be seen clearly. The other ronin waved his hand as if to see them off.
.
"Sir, our speed is very fast and out of control. I, I can't control the rudder!"
cried the sailor, in great confusion.
Sanada Makoto hurriedly came to the rudder. He pushed the sailor away and tried to control the rudder. However, no matter how Sanada Makoto turned, the ship continued to move forward at a very high speed and headed towards the open sea.
"There are rocks ahead, be careful, there are rocks ahead!"
The lookout yelled a few times, and Makoto Sanada also saw that there were several rocks standing on the ocean in front of him. If it collided with it at the current speed, the ship would definitely sink!
He asked the sailors to abandon the ship and escape, while he made a last-ditch attempt.
Seeing that the ship was about to hit the rocks, he became anxious, dropped the rudder, ran towards the port side, jumped into the sea.
However, the expected impact did not come.
The ship stopped at a distance in front of the reef. From the view below the water surface, we could see that the bottom of the ship was almost stopped against the reef. If it moved forward a few minutes, it would be stranded or hit.
.
The boat was bobbing on the swaying waves, as if mocking Sanada Makoto's panic.
He waved his arms in the water and saw in the distance, a ship that had entered the port, with a sentence in the flag.
"Bon Voyage."
Sanada Makoto cursed.
...
"The technique just now was so powerful that I didn't even see how it was accomplished."
When the ship entered the port and started to dock, Xia Dao couldn't help but admire it.
It was obvious that Lu Tiao used some kind of magic just now, but it was at a very high level. Xia Dao thought he didn't notice his arrangement. He originally thought that Lu Tiao was just a wanderer from the countryside, but he didn't expect that there was such a level of magic.
Skills, I can't help but think more highly of the opponent.
"Little tricks."
Lu Jian saw that many people gathered at the port.
These people were holding umbrellas in the cherry blossom rain, or just wearing flower petals on their heads. They were men, women, old and young. Most of their clothes were simple and simple, and they were better than those on the boat. They should be civilians on the island.
In their hands, they were holding signs and banners such as "Welcome the Shinto God Miko" and "Welcome the Miko-sama". It seemed that they were here to welcome Kohaku.
"I don't know if I am sincerely waiting for the miko-sama, or if I have been bought by others to flatter you."
Xia Dao said something.
Kohaku has shown her power as a miko before, and now Lu Knife also has some strength. Nia Dao feels that Kohaku has a great chance of winning, so Lu Knife may be the one who is better than one person and more than ten thousand people in the future. It is not a problem to get closer.
big.
If it was just Amber who favored Lu Tiao, Xia Dao would not have such an attitude. After all, if Lu Tiao himself was weak, even if he was supported by Amber to rise to power, he would definitely be backstabbed by others in the future.
Only when you are strong can you sit firmly.
"There are rumors circulating in and around the island that the miko-sama will be replaced by the current godson-sama. The implication is that he wants to lead the Sanada family to fight with the miko-sama so that the fishermen can benefit."
Xia Dao explained.
"Speaking of which, if Kohaku gets the position of the next officiating miko, when will she inherit this position and perform the ceremony?"
Lu stumbled and realized later.
The current officiating witch is still alive and well, and it seems that she can continue to undertake the work of purification. If Kohaku succeeds in the election, she will have to wait for a while to succeed. Then won't she have to stay in this world for several more years?
Months, or even years?
"Immediately, Mr. Lu Jian, you may not be aware that when the successor is confirmed, the current officiating miko will immediately abdicate and let the new son of God ascend to the Shenzi Pavilion. In fact, holding the screening of the presiding miko will represent the current son of God.
Her power is about to be exhausted, and within a year at most, the master in the Shenzi Pavilion will be unable to control the Pure Fire. Therefore, before she weakens, the candidate must inherit this position."
After saying that, Xia Dao pointed to the enthusiastic and excited people below.
"The selection process has now begun. Starting tomorrow, within seven days at most, the next officiating witch will be selected."
"That was really fast."
Lu Jian glanced at the cabin, and he saw a girl wearing a red and white miko uniform and a pine and crane pattern Chihaya slowly walking out of the shadows.
She saw the cherry blossoms falling outside, raised one hand and gently picked up a few petals.
There is a bit of melancholy and melancholy between her eyebrows, and this kind of melancholy is just suitable for a girl under the warm sunshine.
The cheers of the people in the port became louder and fiercer.
Amber saw Lu Kan and showed a smile that was even more beautiful than the warm sun and falling cherry blossoms.
