foreigner's journey

Chapter 412 Treasure
When pushing open the door of the Five Sacred Pagoda, which was covered with mottled marks, Tifa and Alice looked up at the two sides behind the door almost in unison.

Their [Circle] felt a flash of life energy behind the door, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

Claude also vaguely noticed it, but because of his inexperience in the use of mind energy, it was slightly worse than his previous keen senses.

"That's [Ninja]."

Heather said nonchalantly:
"This group of guys has been watching since we came to Wutai. They are really a group of social phobia patients. Am I right, Lord Goduo?"

Godot walked in the front, and his voice could not hear any anger from Heather's trash talk: "Are you still annoyed by what happened six years ago? Then I would like to sincerely apologize to you again."

Heather snorted: "Forget it, anyway, everyone who should be beaten has already been beaten."

The space inside the tower is not very large, the floor is covered with bamboo mats, and the overall decoration looks antique. On the front wall of the hall on the first floor, there is a pair of calligraphy and paintings written with [force], the characters are strong and powerful.

Without stopping too much, a group of people walked up the wooden stairs. The overall layout of the second floor was similar to that of the first floor, except that the hanging calligraphy and paintings changed to [Speed].

Then the third floor is [Magic], and the fourth floor is [Warrior]. Each floor is empty, and even Alice, who is best at [Circle] except for Heather, has not noticed that there is anyone there.

Until reaching the fifth floor, the huge calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall here are written with [absolutely] flying like a phoenix.

Guo Tuo walked up to the calligraphy and painting, and gently clapped his hands.

Swish Swish Swish Swish!Four figures quietly appeared in the shadows at the four corners of the hall.These four people, men and women, were dressed in simple Wutai costumes, and they looked like ordinary people.But seeing their footsteps so light that there was no sound at all, it was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

Yuffie was confused: "Huh? Sister Sole? Uncle Ka and Brother Dick? And Grandpa Hayami? Are you..."

Obviously, these people were all acquaintances Yuffie knew.She couldn't figure out how the gentle and kind tea shop proprietress, the taciturn porter uncle, and the boss of Gui Zong Le showed such exquisite ninja skills.

"Four Saints, stay safe and sound." Heather nodded slightly.

"Master Heather, long time no see." The four of them bowed slightly to pay respects to Heather.

"Ah~~~? Four, Four Saints!? They are..." Yuffie grabbed his short hair in a mess, looking unbelievable: "If you are Four Saints, why didn't you use your power in the Shinra invasion war? ? Didn’t the Five Sages have the mighty power to protect Wutai in the legend?”

Guo Tuo turned around and heaved a long sigh:
"It's a pity, Yuffie...the five saints have tried their best in the war. But if you can't beat it, you can't beat it. In the face of Shinra's overwhelming strength, even the power of the five saints can't sustain it."

Yuffie screamed: "Impossible! Dad, why are you so sure? You are the one who cowardly surrendered to Shinra, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Yuffie."

Heather stopped Yuffie from shouting:

"The Lord of Guotuo is the last of the five sages, the legendary [extreme sage] who mastered everything."

Yuffie staggered back a few steps, and was held by Tifa's shoulders so as not to fall to the ground.She couldn't believe that after the defeat of Wutai, that stinky dad who only knew how to drink and indulge and get drunk all day long was such a great person?

Heather explained to Yuffie: "The Lord of Goduo led the four saints to be active on the first front against Shinra, which dealt a huge blow to the Shinra army. Unfortunately, no matter how strong they are, they cannot surpass the human category. In the face of war The massive man-made magic crystals and hordes of summoned beasts that were developed in the later stage were still retreating despite Wutai's all-out resistance. In order to protect the people, the Lord of Guotuo was willing to take the blame and surrender to Shinra."

"Why...why didn't you tell me?" Yuffie looked at her father with confusion.

Goduo looked complicated: "Because I can't let Shinra know that Wutai still has the heart to resist, and I can't let Shinra know the true identity of Wusheng. Even if it is my own daughter, I must not reveal half of this kind of thing. "

He is very clear about his daughter's character, since she was a child, she has always been a big mouther besides being troublesome, so she really dare not tell such confidential things.

"Then... what is the relationship between the teacher and the Five Sacred Pagodas?" Alice asked curiously, then covered her mouth and looked at Goduo: "Ah, sorry, can I ask this question?"

"You are all Heather's trusted companions, and naturally they are also trusted by our Wutai."

Guo Tuo sat on the ground:

"Six years ago, Heather and Zangan traveled to Wutai. The ninja troops responsible for monitoring all strange immigrants were discovered by Heather and clashed, and the conflict quickly turned into a battle. Even with Zangan's persuasion, there are still constant The ninja was injured by Heather, and Heather also suffered a bit because of two fists and four hands. The matter has come to this point, no matter which side is angry, it is impossible to stop. In order to prevent Shinra from noticing this side movements, and because Zangam and I are old friends, we came up with a compromise solution together.”

"That is the trial of the Five Saints reopening the Five Saints Pagoda."

Noticing the eyes of her companions, Heather spread her hands: "Don't look at me like that, my temper was not very good at the time, and it's understandable to have some friction with the ninja group."

Is that just 'not a good temper' for you?too humble.The companions complained silently.

[Magic Saint] Suo Le, who was standing aside, said softly: "That night, Lord Heather broke into the Five Sacred Pagoda alone, and challenged the Five Sacred Ones from the first floor. Human beings, even if our four saints hone their skills to perfection, they are still no match for Lord Heather."

"The fiasco of that night is still fresh in my memory." [Susan] Hayami shook his head with a look of emotion.

"In the end, Master Heather came to the fifth floor and started a world-shattering fight with Master Goduo..." [Li Sheng] Dick hesitated as he spoke, not knowing whether he should continue.

"There is nothing bad to say. In the end, Heather was superior and won the Trial of the Five Saints."

Godot smiled at first, and then his face gradually became serious:

"Since ancient times, those who have won the Trial of the Five Sacred Towers have been qualified to take away the treasures of the Five Sacred Pagodas. Heather, I will not brazenly say that Zangan's approach was correct at that time, but the treasures have been guarding the Five Sacred Pagodas all these years. Holy tower, this gave us confidence, and also gave us a little hope to resist Shinra. I am very grateful for your benevolent actions at that time, Heather."

"That's an old account between me and old man Zangan. It's old man Zangan's intention to leave the treasure in the Five Sacred Pagoda. Don't put money on my face."

Heather's face also became serious: "But now I'm here to take that thing, you should understand what I mean?"

Goduo nodded: "...Finally, have you met an enemy who needs to use this treasure to win? Then you can take it and use it to win!"

He stood up and lifted the calligraphy and painting with the word "extremely" written on it, revealing a smooth wall behind him.He raised the index finger and middle finger of his left hand to make a seal gesture, and gave a light drink, and then the wall slowly spun out a small space under the inexplicable force.

The interior of the space is covered with golden silk, and a small box lies in the center of the silk.

Guo Tuo solemnly took out the small box with both hands, opened it and handed his hands to Heather.I saw a red magic spar lying quietly in the box, and everyone present could vaguely hear the sound of the tide when they saw the magic spar.

"This is..." Tifa covered her mouth.

"This is the god that Wutai has believed in since ancient times, [Water God]——"

Heather took the box, and her tone became rare and serious:

"[Livia-san]!"

　PS: Judging from the expressiveness of the moves in the game, the Water God is obviously a level stronger than the Ice God and Vulcan. It belongs to the level of Odin and Alexander, and is slightly weaker than Bahamut.
