I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Page 254

[The time ratio of this journey is: 2:1]

【Number of companions: 0】

【On the way to Wajima】

When his feet felt the ground again, Lu Jian smelled the faint fragrance of flowers.

With the chirping of birds and the warm spring breeze, Lu Jian seemed to hear someone talking.

"Please don't have too many unnecessary exchanges with her. Of course, our guards will also take care of her. You are just responsible for leading the way."

The voice of an elderly woman made Lu Jian turn away.

He saw a wrinkled face.

The old woman's hair was already completely white and tied into a bun. She was wearing a satin dark blue dress and held a cigarette in her hand. She took two puffs and exhaled gray mist.

"I see."

Lu Jian heard the people around him respond, and it seemed that he had directly fast forwarded to the time when the journey was about to start.

Beside him, sat an older woman. She was dressed in black coarse cloth. There were several strands of white hair between the woman's black hair, which seemed to be dyed. She was about 27 or [-] years old, and there was a heroic look between her eyebrows. , like a seasoned hunter or warrior.

In the woman's hand was a long knife put into a scabbard.

This knife is very long, which has surpassed the length of the saber Lu Juan usually recognizes. It is like a clothes pole, which is in sharp contrast with the woman's figure.

"With the bondage of words and spirits, we will naturally not do anything that violates the oath, but I don't know if we can have a word with her. I think getting to know each other will be more helpful for this journey, right?"

The woman asked, she didn't take the old woman's words too seriously. In fact, she didn't show any humble or submissive appearance, more like a winner with an advantage.

"She is practicing today, and after the end, you can see her in the side hall."

After finishing speaking, the old woman tapped her cigarette rod, motioning for the two to leave.

Lu Jian caught up with the woman, and he found that the clothes on his body had also changed into similar coarse clothes, and all the props were put in the package that he carried with him. It seemed that the level difference between him and the island could be seen from the clothes .

The old woman was wearing silk and satin, while the guards next to her were coarse linen clothes. The woman and Lu Lian were slightly better, but it was only an improvement in shape.

"She believes that as long as her granddaughter can become the chief priestess, then her family can also enter the core of Wajima's political circle."

After the woman left the room and the guards, she said to Lu Jian.

"Of course, many people don't want to see the chief priestess is a person who does not belong to their sphere of influence. The dispute starts here."

"Shouldn't the presiding priestess rely on her strength?"

Lu Jian asked, he loosened his collar, and the island in spring was very warm, but the coarse cloth was not breathable.

The woman turned her head and glanced at Lu Jian with a slight smile.

"These officials and gentlemen are not so naive. Indeed, the chief priestess needs to rely on strength to stand out. In fact, it has already gone through a lot of games and compromises to be able to enter Hedao Taisha and become a candidate. The big families of Hedao will not allow it. Those who surpassed their control became Miko-sama."

"Then we are now?"

Lu Jian thought that this was similar to the general elections in some countries in the world. It seemed fierce, but in fact it was the result of games and compromises by the big companies and capital behind it.

"This is the variable. The witches here are said to be extremely talented, and they were born with peculiar celestial phenomena. They seem to be destined to be the next priestess priestess. The only shortcoming is that she and her family have been outside the core power circle for a long time. "

The woman and Lu Jian came to the side hall to wait, and Lu Jian roughly figured out that the woman's name was Changpu, she was a famous mercenary in the sea, and she was one of Changpu's subordinates.

After waiting for a while, just when Lu Jian had already drank two cups of tea and wanted to go to the bathroom, a maid walked into the room.

"Miss is here."

She said.

===327. Intruder===

Just as the maid was speaking and leading the people behind into the side hall, Lu Juan saw at the same time that the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room were distorted and crooked, forming a systematic indifferent and cold writing.

【He Island】

[32 years of Shenwu, a thousand wastes await]

[The chief priestess is about to leave office, and the political circle of Hejima is in turmoil. Compared with the filth that devours life, political enemies are sometimes more terrifying. 】

【Long journey, just to escort a maiden, history will not remember your existence, people will not know your name, only Jinghuo, containing everything, illuminating the dark sea】

[There is no war in spring, just worry about leaving people]

[Task Requirement: Escort the Miko to Hedao Taisha]

[Task Requirement: Witness the birth of a new Priestess Priestess]

[Difficulty: Alienation]

The moment Lu Jian saw these words, he felt a subtle sense of dizziness.

This has never been done before.

At the same time, Lu Jian saw that there were changes under the text of these systems.

[Detection of God's Chosen invasion, mission changed]

[Task Requirement: Escort the Miko to Hedao Taisha]

[Task Requirement: Witness the birth of a new Priestess Priestess]

[Task Requirement: Find and kill the invading hostile God's Chosen]

[Difficulty: Alienation]

"The Chosen One invaded?"

Lu Jian immediately remembered the three people from other lands that he saw on Ponapei Island. Their goal was to awaken the evil gods in Lu Yi's world. Then, what these hostile God-Chosen were doing with the island, Maybe it was to hinder Lu Jian's escort mission?

He thought a lot.

For example, according to the previous speculation, the quiet place can control the time when the chosen one arrives in a foreign land. Then, perhaps what Lu Jian is in is the future Hejima. If the large shrine becomes the presiding priestess, then Hejima will be attacked by filth and eventually destroyed because of the power disputes at the upper level.

Then the chosen ones of other gods would naturally come to kill the witch.

Of course, as a good young man in the new era who has studied materialism and has a people's view of history, Lu Jian believes that this task may not be so critical.

After all, this is a "scene" constructed by the gods.

Maybe Lu Jian successfully rescued the witch, maybe not, but it doesn't mean that the island was completely destroyed when the witch died.

It may be that the witch is gone, and Hedao Taisha's ability to clean up the filth is much weaker, so the time of destruction has been brought forward, or it may be that the witch is too powerful and Hedao was burned clean in advance.

Probably this degree of influence on history.

The destruction of a world, in addition to the influence of one or two heroes, is more about the process of history. It is not heroes who create the current situation, but the current situation creates heroes.

Just like what Lu Jian did in the demon tide of the Kingdom of the Night, even without him, the Kingdom of the Night will still exist at least hundreds of years later, maybe with his existence, the Kingdom of the Night will have fewer people dying in these hundreds of years , Changing some history, but the general trend remains the same.

If Hejima has been relying on those powerful families to determine the candidates for the officiant priestess according to what Iris said, then destruction is almost inevitable.

The survival of this witch is just the difference between whether this incident will happen sooner or later.

"Be polite and don't stare at people."

The calamus beside him reminded Lu Jian, and he came back to his senses.

When looking at the system prompt just now, Lu Jian's target was on the girl sitting opposite.

He focused his eyes and found that the other party was also staring at him, as if he was silently condemning Lu Lian's faux pas.

This is a young girl, wearing a red and white dress, which is the style of a maiden, and Lu Jian has seen it in Utashima.

She is very beautiful, with the youthful and a little mature temperament of a girl, thick hair like ink, with a little amber eyes, sitting upright and meticulous.

"Feel sorry."

Lu Jian looked away, but the girl was still staring at him.

"I am the mercenary Calamus who is in charge of navigating this time, and this is my subordinate Lu Jie."

Calamus spoke, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"amber."

That's all the girl said.

After a while, Lu Jian realized that this was her name.

Is it called Amber because the eyes are amber?

"Master Amber, we will do our best to ensure your safety during this journey. I just hope that we can treat each other honestly and trust each other."

Ayame continued.

"About this route"

When Calamus said this, the girl Amber listened very seriously, as if she wanted to write it all down, so that even if the escort had a problem, she could go to Hejima Taisha on her own.

After all, she glanced at Lu Jian again.

"Is there something on my face?"

Lu Bian was curious.

Amber hesitated to speak, and finally put her hand in front of her body, tugging at the neckline.

"your dress, collar"

Lu Yi looked down and saw that it was the collar that was loosened just now because the warm wind outside was too stuffy.

After he straightened his collar, he saw Amber finally relaxed.

Is this guy still an OCD?

Lu Jian immediately sat up a little more.

Watching the girl in red and white leave, the two did not get up immediately.

"Is this the strongest witch in the world? If she can become the chief priestess, maybe the sea will really be quieter."

Calamus said with some emotion.
