Kikukawa Yukinari came back very late, with a somewhat excited look on his face. Come to think of it, Kikukawa Koichi has suppressed him for many years, and today he finally collapsed. One of the biggest worries in his heart has disappeared, and he can personally lead people to check the other party's residence in a showy manner. It really vents all the anger he has suffered for so many years. come out. At this moment, he was so proud that even when facing Roddy and the other three, he looked a little carried away.
Rody didn't show the slightest sign of being hurt in front of him, but Nidis felt a little unhappy when she saw him so proud. She couldn't help but sneered: "Master Kikukawa, can you be proud now? Do you think you are already?" Got the right to inherit? Became a general?"
Kikukawa Yukinari was stunned for a moment: "Even if it's not happening now, then it's almost done, right?" He rolled his eyes and said: "At first you said that my brother colluded with the Roland people to invade, but now my brother has collapsed, then when will the Roland people What about retreating?"
Nidis already said coldly: "Why are you so anxious? Do you think you can sleep peacefully now?"
Looking at the confused Kikukawa Yukinari, Nidis sighed in her heart and said in a deep voice: "Have you never thought about why your brother did such a rebellious and stupid thing today?"
"..." Kikukawa Yukinari finally calmed down a little, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Is it for the inheritance?" Then he shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like it. If it is for the inheritance, then he only needs to be patient. If you wait a few years, you may not get it. In his eyes, there is no need to worry about me. "
Nidis glanced at him and said coldly: "Also, what happened in the meeting hall today. Didn't you understand? With your brother alone, how dare he do this? Also, the old general, this matter Why did you leave it to you instead of Oda Nobunaga..."
"You mean Qianqi General..." Kikukawa Yukinari's expression changed and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Nidis looked at the change in the other person's face with satisfaction, patted Kikukawa Yukinari's shoulder hard, and said warmly: "Okay, as long as you obey my arrangements honestly, I will guarantee that you will become a general!"
After sending away the anxious Kikukawa Yukinari, Nidis also specially asked him not to show his doubts about Oda Nobunaga.
Rody's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "What? Do you really want to help this guy seize the throne?"
Nidis shrugged her shoulders, with a sly smile on her face: "Of course then! It has promised to give me full rights to operate Ironwood! If he can't become a general, who can I ask for money from?"
Roddy sighed and stopped paying attention to Nidis's nonsense. He closed his eyes and examined his body carefully.
That temple's delivery clicked on the back, and the power in it was really weird. Roddy still feels that there seems to be a strange force flowing in his body, and this force is incompatible with his own energy. It would be fine if Rody sat and lay down properly, but as long as he tried to use his fighting energy for a little while, he immediately felt several strange energies surging and colliding together in his chest, like boiling boiling water. It felt like those The violent energy is about to burst through the chest and burst out of the body!
"What the hell." Roddy sighed. But now time is running out, Rody said to Nidis in a deep voice: "Let's get ready and go to the forbidden area of the palace to check it out tonight!"
"What? Go now?" Nidis was startled and looked at Rody with some doubts in her eyes. He frowned and said, "But now you..."
"Humph, I can't die." Rody said proudly, and then his face showed a bit of frustration again: "The guy from the temple is also trying to attract the attention of the dwarf thing, and now we have had a head-on conflict. He is today We will definitely get to the palace early if we don’t want to return empty-handed!”
Nidis suddenly smiled coquettishly and said: "If you continue to be alarmist, I won't go with you. You can stay here honestly tonight. When you feel better tomorrow, I won't care where you like to go." "
Rody smiled bitterly and said: "If you don't want to go, that's up to you. I have to go anyway." He had already jumped off the couch to stretch his body, his face was as usual, and he was about to walk out in big strides.
Nidis stopped him, leaning across the door, and whispered: "Stop!"
She raised her head, her eyes full of concern, and gritted her teeth and said: "You are really a lunatic. You suffered such a big loss today. If it were anyone else, you should be desperately conserving your strength at this moment and thinking about your opponent's weaknesses behind closed doors. Only when you are fully prepared will you think of ways to take revenge. You are ready. Why are you going to die in such a hurry?"
However, Rody pulled her away and said calmly: "I don't necessarily want to die. I'm afraid there is no one in this world who can kill me!"
He was already striding outside. Nidis stamped her feet bitterly, but still followed.
Roddy actually ran away. The old magician who had just laid down shouted. Although he doesn't like the Sith using him to seize that thing, but now his strength is damaged, and the other party is a strong player in the field. You can always be more sure if you have a master by your side.
When Sis heard that he was going to a forbidden area in the palace, he naturally refused to refuse. He had already prepared a lot of things for this trip, and as if by magic, he took out two blue gems from his arms and gave them to Rody and Nidis. He whispered: "You guys have this, it's necessary." time, you can become invisible!”
Nidis gave the old magician a disdainful look and stuffed the thing back to Sith without saying a word. But he strode towards the direction of the sacred mountain.
Although the three of them have never been to the Imperial Palace, it is extremely easy to find the location of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, as long as they head towards the sacred mountain.
The three of them are all extremely skilled warriors. Although Nidis is far inferior in strength, she has the "Blood Escape" of the Vampire Clan and is the strongest among the three in terms of her ability to hide her traces. He easily sneaked into the palace of the Yamata Kingdom. The palace of the Yamata Kingdom does not seem to occupy a large area. This may be related to the fact that the royal family of the Yamata Kingdom is not prosperous. It's just a cluster of low buildings, but they have a hint of simplicity and elegance. Among them, the pavilions, pavilions, and architectural styles are something Roddy has never seen or heard of.
Occasionally, there are a few expert waiters in strange clothes walking back and forth carrying lanterns made of gauze. These people have serious faces, but both men and women are all dressed in Tsing Yi. The way he walked was even more cautious, as if he was afraid of stepping on an ant.
Rody held the invisibility talisman gem given by the old magician in his hand. Along the way, they walked through the palace in such a swaggering way, and gradually came to the bank of a lake behind the palace.
Looking up, I saw the white snow on the top of the sacred mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain, I could feel the cold air blowing on my face.
"The cave that Kikukawa Yukinari mentioned must be right ahead, but it seems that we have to cross this lake first..."
Nidis sighed and looked at the large lake in front of her that was more than ten miles in diameter. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "That Kikukawa Yukijo is really in a good mood. I originally heard him say he was having a tryst with some princess, so I just thought The so-called forbidden area should be in the backyard of their palace, but I didn't expect it to go so far... "
There are several small painted boats parked on the lakeside. They are small and exquisite in shape, and the two ends of the boats are pointed. It's like a few bright moons sinking in the water.
Rody pointed to the boat and whispered: "Why row a boat? You are not..."
Rody's eyes widened and he gave Nidis a fierce look. He stopped her from continuing, and then said calmly: "Look around carefully. Although we can be invisible, if someone sees an empty boat with no one in the middle of the night, but rows in the lake by himself. That will also scare people to death." "
Nidis obediently and Roddy worked together to untie the rope of a boat. The three jumped into the boat and gradually rowed away from the shore. It's just that this smart woman has another idea in her mind...
Well, it turns out that he doesn't want others to know that he has the ability to walk underwater... This thing can be put to good use. Now that I know his secret. If you want me to keep his secret, you have to ask for some benefits!
The night was getting darker now, and the boat was rowing on the empty lake. Looking up, there was no moon in the sky tonight. There were only a few dim stars, and the faint cold wind blowing down from the distant sacred mountain rolled around people. Nidis couldn't help but feel a little chilly.
The surroundings were also so quiet that it made people feel uneasy. It stands to reason that in this season, in places with dense grass and trees at the foot of mountains and lakes, there will always be some small beasts and creatures that come out and move around at night. But Nidis listened carefully, not to mention any sound, not even the night chirping of birds. I could only hear the sound of the boat's oars hitting the water... once... twice...
Rody also felt a little weird in his heart, and felt that this feeling was inexplicably familiar...
He suddenly realized that he had discovered a monster in the lake in the middle of the Tulip Family's hunting ground in the Imperial Tulip Family's fiefdom. When he, Hunter Dak, and Dan Yue Wu explored the lake at night, there were no creatures around!
The atmosphere here today is somewhat similar to that day.
Thinking of the thrilling encounter that night, Rody secretly felt a little vigilant in his heart.
The boat gradually rippled into the middle of the lake. Suddenly, a splash was heard, and several black figures suddenly emerged from the water on both sides of the boat!
These figures emerged from the bottom of the water without any warning! Their bodies jumped to a height of three to four meters in the air, and only a few arms were seen waving. Rody heard a whooshing sound breaking through the air. It reacted very quickly, and the paddle in its hand had already been lifted, and it was waving like a whirlwind. He heard fighting, fighting, fighting... a dense sound, and countless small metal objects hit the oar in his hand.
Seeing that they missed the attack, those figures had already fallen into the bottom of the lake.
Before the three of them had time to speak, they heard a harsh sound. Nidis jumped up and hugged Roddy's neck as she screamed. I saw a sharp blade suddenly appeared on the bottom of the ship! The blade struck the bottom of the ship a few times, and then four or five knives were inserted from the bottom of the ship at the same time.
Rody snorted coldly and said loudly to Sis: "Keep paddling, don't stop!" He suddenly leaned down, gently placed a palm on the water's surface, and said lightly: "Broken!"
I saw a few deep ripples suddenly rippling out of the originally calm water on the side of the ship, and then I saw the water churning violently several times...
Rody used his domain control method to rapidly change the fluctuations of the water flow. Although the water surface looked calm, he had created several unusually rapid undercurrent vortexes under the water. The sneak attackers who were originally hiding under the water immediately Got sucked into the whirlpool.
After Roddy's boat rowed a certain distance, he saw three or four figures floating on the water. These people were no longer moving and were obviously dead.
Rody's expression remained unchanged. He was deeply aware of the power of his attack just now. The whirlpool of water under the water was like a huge rotating millstone. The pressure was so powerful that even steel could be squeezed and deformed, not to mention the flesh of a mere human body. Woolen cloth
Puff twice. Two figures jumped out from the water on the side of the ship again, but they were different from the black figures just now. These two guys were actually wearing white clothes, spinning in mid-air, and steadily separated one after another. At the bow and stern of the ship!
Only then did Roddy see clearly what these sneak attackers looked like.
They were wearing tight white clothes. The clothing was somewhat similar to the samurai uniform, but it wrapped their entire bodies extremely tightly, not even a trace of skin was exposed, and even their hands were wearing leather gloves. One face was even more covered, making it impossible to see his true face clearly. His head was tightly wrapped with a white turban, and his eyes were exposed all over his body.
The two men drew out the long and narrow samurai swords they wore at the same time. They didn't shout or make a sound, but their movements were in perfect harmony. At the same time, he raised his knife from both sides and stabbed Rody!
What makes Roddy even more strange is that the movements of these two people are extremely agile and fast, as if they carry the traces of a kind of wild beast-the movements are almost not human, just as fast as a civet cat!
Rody's chest was still boiling fiercely at this moment. Not daring to use his fighting spirit, he just reached out to grab the opponent's sword. Its movements were much faster than those of the two of them.
His palm grabbed the sword of the man in front of him like lightning, and then twisted it hard, and he actually snatched the sword from the other person with his bare hands! Take advantage of the opponent's moment of confusion. He didn't even look back but kicked him back.
The person behind him didn't even have time to dodge before he was kicked in the chest, and several clicks were heard. Apparently even the bones were broken by Rody's kick, and his body flew far away and fell into the water.
Rody's hand that grabbed the opponent's knife didn't even pause. He actually held the opponent's blade and hit the opponent's head with the handle.
The sneak attacker must have never seen anyone fighting like this before. He actually exclaimed, backed up quickly, and then with a loud bang, his whole body turned into a ball of white smoke and disappeared!
Rody couldn't help but whispered: "Evil!"
Nidis gritted her teeth and said: "These people are ninjas! They are the mysterious warriors of the dwarf tribe who are responsible for protecting the royal family!"
The old magician was already sweating profusely. The magician was not known for his physical strength. He was already tired after rowing for such a long time and couldn't help but said: "Okay, you row the boat and I'll deal with them!"
Roddy and Nidis took the boat oar from his hand, and saw the old magician slowly raising his hands and silently chanting a strange spell.
When he just read out the first sentence, Rody next to him let out a "yi" sound. It was obvious that he could understand the spell of the magic hair master.
"Do you know what he is doing?" Nidis asked curiously.
"Yes." Rody simply nodded: "It's a magic summoning technique!"
I saw the old magician's hand quickly condensed into two groups of black energy. The two groups of black energy squirmed crazily in his hands for a moment, then suddenly roared out, turning into two long black streams and pouring into the two sides of the ship. In the side lake!
I saw rolling waves suddenly appearing on the lake on both sides of the boat, and heard two sharp roars in my ears. Two huge giants as thick as buckets sprang out from the lake on both sides of the boat at the same time. python!
The huge body of the giant python rolled back and forth in the lake water on both sides. It shocked many ninjas who had been hiding in the water to appear one after another and swam outside in all directions. But there were still one or two unlucky ones who were bitten by the python and tossed a few times before being thrown out.
The two giant pythons were like two pioneers, one on the left and one on the right, escorting Rody's boat.
The old magician was standing at the bow of the boat, with his hands raised there and mumbling words, obviously controlling the two giant snakes.
Suddenly, I heard the big snake on the left rolling violently. The movement was so big that the waves almost capsized Rody's boat! Then he saw a rainbow-like sword flash past. With a bang, a ball of blood burst into the darkness. A huge head of the giant snake had fallen off, and the rest of its body twisted feebly a few times before finally sinking to the bottom of the lake.
A ninja wearing a dazzling golden tights jumped out of the water, floated like a feather and landed on the stern of the boat. He pointed the long knife in his hand at Rody and whispered: "Stop the boat immediately!"
Rody snorted coldly, rounded the paddle in his hand and threw it at him, but the paddle hit the man firmly. Roddy felt empty!
"It's an afterimage!" A thought immediately flashed through Rody's mind!
Sure enough, Rody immediately felt an icy chill cutting into the clothes under his ribs!
These ninjas guarding the royal family of the Yamata Kingdom are really weird. This ninja may not be very powerful, but he has a very good way of sneak attack. I don't know what method he used just now. Even Roddy's eyes were deceived - of course, this was only when Roddy was seriously injured and did not expand his territory in order to preserve his strength!
It's just that Roddy is weird, and the golden-robed ninja is probably even weirder!
He clearly cut the enemy's ribs with the knife, but the blade only cut through the opponent's clothes and could no longer cut even half of it inside!
Is this enemy invulnerable
This ninja is wearing golden clothes. He is already the top master among ninjas, but he has never seen an opponent who can directly resist his own blade with his body!
Roddy had already turned around, and Yiba had strangled the opponent's neck, saying coldly: "Do you want to kill me? Then I will kill you!"
He fingered hard. The golden ninja immediately couldn't breathe.
Rody looked at this person's eyes coldly, but he could not see a trace of fear in the other person's eyes... There was only a dead gray color in those eyes!
"Let me ask you, is the forbidden area just ahead?"
The golden-robed ninja remained silent, not even looking at Rody. Just a pair of hands still trying to struggle. Rody loosened his fingers on the other person's neck a little and asked again.
The ninja suddenly bit his teeth hard, tilted his head, and died.
Rody was stunned for a moment, seeing blood flowing out of the other person's nose, mouth, eyes and ears at the same time. He frowned and threw him into the lake.
It was much quieter along the way, and no one jumped out of the lake to attack. The old magician also put away the devil snake he had summoned, and slowly sat on the boat to meditate quietly. Restore magic.
After the ship docked, Roddy pulled Nidis and jumped in. However, the old magician carefully took out a enchantment talisman and held it tightly in his hand. He whispered: "I think there is something weird here, don't you guys?" Too far away from me!”
"What?" Roddy and Nidis asked at the same time.
The old face of Sith had an unprecedented solemn expression, and he said solemnly: "I know that if we compare our strength, I am not as good as you, but in terms of sensing magic fluctuations, I am much more sensitive than you!"
The old magician took out a chain from his arms and tied it around his neck. A small silver cross hung below it, but there was a weird gem inlaid in the middle of the cross. The weird thing about this gem is that, The light on it is brilliant, the colors are constantly changing, and it exudes colorful brilliance.
"This is my magic power test gem." Sith said in a deep voice: "This thing is carefully made by me. It is the best way to detect the fluctuation of magic power..." His tone gradually slowed down: "If its color is bluish, that is If the surrounding magic wave is weak, it means that the magic wave is slightly stronger. If it is red, it means that the magic wave is strong... "
Rody looked at the gem he held in his palm, and all kinds of colorful lights shone on it at the same time. Rody said in a daze: "Then... what does it mean now that it has become like this?"
There was some faint uneasiness in the old magician's eyes, but he smiled bitterly and said: "I don't even know about this. I have never seen it react like this!"
