What was she waiting for,
No one knew.
The tea was rinsed over and over again, and the fragrance of the tea gradually faded.
Mitsuki accompanied the Divine Inquisitor,
The two of them sipped tea from the office table,
To the porch.
There was a soft cushion under their knees,
They watched as the sun gradually set in the west. The red of the setting sun dyed the sky red. It was silent.
Suddenly,
Lingsu asked, "I heard that there was a sword from the Sanjo family,
His name was Jin Jian,
Before I came to This Pill, he had been taking care of your daily life,
Is that so? "
Mitsuki's hand that was holding the teacup suddenly trembled,
But it quickly returned to its original state.
Only the tea made an inconspicuous ripple at the mouth of the cup.
"Yes... After all, in front of the Lord, he couldn't be considered an old man. But at that time, his hands and feet were indeed not very nimble,
It was inevitable that he would need help from others, "he said with a smile.
Lingsu nodded and continued,
Instead, he stated, "That saber was later broken."
“.....”
"This time, after incorporating No. 3304 This Pill's sword, many of the original This Pill's brothers' swords have been filled up.
But you didn't receive anything. "
As she spoke, her gaze turned to Mitsuki Munechika's New Moon eyes. She saw the color in his eyes that was as dark as the night,
She asked, "As a subordinate that I'm satisfied with,
You can ask for a reward.
For example... Reforge a Jin Jian. "
Mitsuki Munechika's pupils constricted slightly.
But then..,
He quickly came back to his senses,
In New Moon's eyes, the pale golden crescent moon was bright and lonely.
With some relief, there was also a trace of inexplicable regret.
"No." He shook his head gently, the golden tassel swaying in his hair.
"The old man has passed away. The others, no matter how good they are, are just substitutes."
No matter how many Jin Jian the Divine Inquisitor could forge, he would definitely dote on those new short knives and teach them how to deal with humans in the present world.
But those swords were not Jin Jian, who had lived with him for four years.
He could clearly tell that none of them were him.
In his heart, the real Jin Jian was already dead.
The moment he threw the broken knife into the furnace, it disappeared forever.
He turned to Lingsu and said, "If I put it this way, you should understand."
After all, you've been through so much.
Lingsu was slightly taken aback.
Her eyes suddenly went blank for a moment, and the memories in her mind surged like a stormy sea.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace, as if it was just an illusion.
She lowered her head and sipped the last bit of tea from the bottom of the cup into her mouth. She said softly, "Yeah … I understand."
·
After that, a few more days passed.
Lingsu no longer tried to conquer the Choi and Knee Bolus, but completely ignored these two swords.
For a moment, This Pill seemed to have fallen into an inexplicable silence. Even Compressional Hasselblad, who was about to persuade Genji, no longer went to the two brothers' room. It was as if the moment the Divine Inquisitor removed them from the list, the existence of these two swords was erased.
Compressional Hasselblad was a little anxious about this.
But just as the Divine Inquisitor reminded him, he could not use his own thoughts to make a choice for the Choi and Knee Bolus.
No matter what kind of future they would face, this choice should be made by them.
The only thing he could do was to wait.
As for the two swords.
Whether they were wavering, steeling their resolve, or waiting for an opportunity — only they knew.
However, what the swordsmen did not know was that it would be too fake to say that the Divine Inquisitor had unintentionally ignored these two swords.
No one would believe it. But in fact, the Divine Inquisitor had no intention of dealing with these two swords in the near future.
That was why it was put aside.
During this time, she, or rather, the Government of the Time, encountered a problem.
It was a sunny day.
Ever since Uchiha Itachi and Sasori of the Akatsuki came to This Pill in a high-profile manner, they seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. No matter what time it was, the swordsmen who wandered around Honmaru could not see them.
Only at mealtime every day, the empty food boxes could confirm that these two people were indeed still in the Benwan and were still alive.
Unbeknownst to the swordsman, the two of them had already walked around the Honmaru countless times and thoroughly studied the terrain. However, they had never shown themselves in front of the sword-wielding man.
"Why are you so careful? You can go out openly. No one will stop you."
In a dark room without any light, Leng Su, who was wearing a long red coat and black wide-legged pants, sat on a modern chair and said with a smile. It was rare for her to wear such a long red coat and black wide-legged pants.
"It's a habit."
The black-haired man who sat cross-legged in the corner slowly opened his eyes. His pair of silent eyes were dark like a bottomless abyss.
"What do you want us to do?"
He quietly watched the girl's red figure in the dark.
He knew that Lingsu would not come to see them for no reason.
This was a girl who regarded everything as interests and exchanges. In her eyes, there was no love, no trust, only transactions.
She habitually calculated every step she took, thought of every possibility, and made use of everything around her that could be used.
It seemed that in her eyes, this was the truest form of trust.
From the first time he saw her, she was already such a girl. Until today, she had not changed.
She had not met anyone who could change her.
Itachi lowered his eyelids.
"Huh?" The girl sitting on the chair seemed to be stunned, and there was a long pause.
It took a while for her to react. Her pupils turned and fell on the man's slightly lowered head, revealing a cut on Konoha's forehead protector, and a somewhat pale face.
It was a sickly white.
She slightly tilted her head, a few strands of white hair fell from her temples, blocking her forehead.
"Why are you still the same?" After a while, she whispered softly, and there was a faint sigh in her throat, "After so many years, you haven't changed at all."
Itachi was silent.
"I don't need you to do anything for the time being.
I just want to ask some questions.
You don't have to worry, there will always be something to use you. "
As if knowing that Itachi would not say anything, Lingsu quickly returned to her own rhythm and asked Sasori, who was sitting cross-legged opposite her, "I only have one purpose today. I want to know how you came to the modern world."
This was not a difficult question to answer.
The gate in the modern world was not a secret that must be guarded, or it had nothing to do with the Akatsuki's plan. It just provided convenience, because without this, they would not have found Lingsu.
Therefore, Sasori quickly told her the answer, "Mi Tsuki's ability is to create a portal.
After she opened the portal to this world for the first time, she has been trying to open more world portals for the next five years. "
"She opened a lot of doors in the modern world.
And these doors can be used as long as the Chakra is consistent with the Chakra allowed by her settings. "
"In other words … only people from the ninja world who are recognized by her can come to the modern world." Lingsu quickly understood, "This is your deal."
"Yes."
"…"
"Then it seems."
Lingsu looked at the letter in her hand that she had been holding since just now, "This should be another incident."
She opened the folded envelope. It was written in black and white. It was the content printed by the printer.
The information in the letter was clearly written, "The fall of the Kirionello family, the successor of the Marei ring has changed, and the new successor is the White Orchid."
Moreover, the new successor called the White Orchid has a big difference.
Even without the help of the ring, he can travel through parallel worlds.
The Kirionello family signed an agreement with the Government of the time, but now the whole family has fallen, and the ring has chosen a new successor.
So of course, the previous agreement can only be nullified, and a new contract needs to be drafted.
And the Government of the time is obviously worried about how to make the White Orchid agree to this agreement.
The holder of the Marei ring can provide them with too much convenience.
They are the ones who maintain the peace of the parallel world, and if the stability of the parallel world is destroyed, or if the White Orchid is not willing to help them, and the parallel world is allowed to develop on its own, soon the parallel world will merge with the main world and collide, causing unpredictable effects.
Originally, they thought that if they talked about the pros and cons, this seemingly powerless white-haired youth with a naive face who was still eating candy will agree to sign the agreement. But after a few days of peace talks, they suddenly found that the person in front of them is a complete lunatic.
So, the trump card that they had hidden early on is now being used early.
