Gunslinger from Butei

"The breath of the jade of the four souls..." Wandering low-level monsters appeared in groups in the sky, gradually approaching the bustling city and the crowd under the sky, and the frantic whispers echoed in the cold air like drumbeats .

"The Jade of the Four Souls is mine!"

"Damn it! It must be mine!"

The lowest groups of monsters combined because of the same greed and desire are attacking and devouring each other while merging and gathering. The chaotic thinking and breath seem to be able to induce the deepest darkness and fear in the human heart.

But these methods, which are usually invincible to human beings, have hit a wall this time.

Before they really approached, after bursts of gunshots, monster corpses fell from the sky like rain. After the fire and gun troops finished their attack, a collection team wearing special protective gear went out of the city to collect monster corpses.

These days, the body of an ordinary low-level monster is more than ten meters long, and it is very good whether it is used as an energy source for the enchantment or as a raw material for making spells.

The people in the city only looked up for a moment when the gun was fired, and found that after the incident was over, they skillfully returned to the rhythm of daily life.

Although Oda Haiyin has not ruled the city for a long time, the total amount of monsters that have been continuously attacking the city has exceeded the sum of what the city has experienced in the past ten years. Whether it is the guards in the city or the civilians without strength Get used to this frequency.

"It's really a big deal..." In the city, a black-haired mage wearing a deep purple cassock and a black monk robe said with emotion, "The weapons in the hands of the warriors guarding the group are all powerful spells. The owner is just an ordinary person who can easily defeat monsters in this way. It is incredible..."

Because there is a wife who is an exorcist, the mage also knows a lot about spell tools.Each of these magic tools in front of us can be used as a symbol of wealth and a hole card in the taboo treasury of those big families, but here they are distributed to ordinary people at will.

"Father, this place is amazing..."

The child beside the mage stared eagerly at the guards patrolling the city and the streets, their big clear eyes were full of envy.

A lot can be seen from their energy and spirit. These people have bright eyes and strong bodies. It can be seen that they can only be raised by eating enough meat.In addition, even ordinary people walking in the streets and alleys don't have the yellow muscles that are common in this world. Although they don't have the look of those guards, they still have ruddy complexions and smiles on their faces.

In contrast, it was not easy for their family to ensure that the whole family had enough to eat. Before going out, their mother was pregnant again. In order to support their unborn siblings, they had to work harder.

"That's right, it's just too powerful. It seems that there is not much room for us to develop." The mage smiled and touched his son's head, with a bit of helplessness in his tone.

The money tricks that usually work may not work here.Most wealthy nobles are shrewd. Even if they really believe that there are monsters in their houses, they are definitely willing to ask the city guards for help instead of looking for wild mages passing by like him.

In such a chaotic world, such a peaceful city that is not afraid of demons can be called a miracle.In particular, there are no onmyojis, witches, etc. here, and ordinary people who are armed with magic tools can do it.But this is a bit unfriendly to mages, a profession that relies on exorcising demons and praying for a living.

Gollum.

The child rubbed his belly and looked at his father anxiously: "Father, I'm hungry..."

"Okay, okay. I just saw something interesting. Your Highness probably needs us for something." The mage looked up at the reward hanging on the wall, and then at a certain magnificent building The long queue at the door stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Let's join in the fun too, at least we can have a full meal?"

The negotiation process was smoother than expected. After confirming the mage's identity, the black-haired warrior at the gate quickly brought him into the main hall together with the previous group of people.

When the mage passed through the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, his footsteps paused for a moment.

"This feeling?" His originally leisurely and soothing expression became a little dignified.

"What's the matter, Mage Maitreya?" The black warrior who was leading the way seemed to have eyes behind his back, urging his back to the mage, "Don't keep His Highness waiting for too long!"

The undeniable toughness in the tone made the mage's heart tighten, but there was a deep smile on his face: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen such a powerful enchantment for a long time. I don't know who is the person who arranged it."

The black warrior's eyes lit up, and he replied: "Can you see that? It seems that Master Maitreya is not a liar with a false name. What His Highness wants to see is a person with real talents like a Master."

The black warrior very realistically arranged the only mage Maitreya who could perceive the enchantment to the front row.

Feeling the jealous eyes of colleagues behind him, Maitreya couldn't help but smile wryly.

The son beside him was very excited, holding his father's hand with a small expression of admiration and pride.

As a father, he couldn't show timidity in front of his son, the mage thought so, and his expression became relaxed.

When they passed by the beautiful vestibule, they saw a row of young maids holding their guns for target practice. Those delicate and slender hands could not swing the amazing light of the knife, but they could master the pistols with little recoil after training.

If a thief was proud of sneaking into the city lord's mansion by escaping the patrol of the guards, these seemingly weak maids would definitely teach him a lesson.

The breeze was blowing, and the young and immature faces were full of determination, which was very different from the maids I had seen before.

"This Highness...is really different."

Maitreya couldn't help admiring.In his heart, he became even more curious about this His Highness who was open-minded and overly generous.

And when Maitreya actually saw the legendary Highness who was closer to God, he was more than ten times astonished than expected.

The girl sitting high in the main seat was wearing a white shirt, a plaid pleated skirt, a bolo tie around her neck, and a windbreaker over her shoulders. She stared at her with a pair of beautiful but cold green eyes.

The unique clothes that are out of the whole era may seem a little strange to others, but in the eyes of Maitreya, it is like a bolt from the blue, which suddenly cleared the fog in his heart, and made him ask involuntarily: " Miss, are you also from the future?"

Oda Kaiyin carefully observed the mage in front of him, a glimmer of surprise appeared in his lake-like eyes.

Good luck, it seems to have caught a big fish.

"Master. I'm very interested in your words." She smiled and walked down from the high seat, "Why do you say that? Have you ever seen someone in the same attire as me?"

As the real ruler of Liujo Castle, it turned out to be such a noble and beautiful girl, but Maitreya, who was an ancestral beauty, didn't appreciate the excitement of anyone at all at this moment.Cold sweat rolled down from the corner of his forehead. He realized that he had accidentally exposed some terrible secrets. Is it useful to play dumb at this time?

"Haha, please don't pay attention to my nonsense. I am dizzy because of His Highness's beauty." Maitreya's eyes began to scan the structure of the hall, trying to find a reasonable escape route.

But before he could make a move, a slender hand was already on his shoulder.

The seemingly weak and slender hands have a grip as strong as iron tongs.

Maitreya was forced to wear a pain mask.

"What a coincidence, I also think the mage is quite handsome." The girl dragged her voice like a cat teasing a mouse, and said coquettishly, "Let's have a good chat, one, chat, shall we~?"

"Sorry, Your Highness! Actually... I have a wife! Wait! Ah——!"

There was a hint of resentment in the misery, and the cry came out through the wall.All the onmyojis waiting outside turned blue and stared at the gate of the palace in surprise.

After a long time, they saw a smiling maid leading a tiger-headed child out of it. After saluting to everyone, she explained softly, "Your Highness has found what you want. Please go back. As As compensation for making you run in vain, His Highness allows you... to choose a musket from the arsenal in Liutiao City."

"Is it the kind of weapon those samurai used to destroy monsters just now?" A young priestess couldn't help asking.A weapon that is more powerful than the demon-slaying bow and arrow, and that can be used by ordinary people, that is to say, does not consume spiritual power... Is it really so easy to give it away?

"That's right." The maid said with a smile.

Everyone swallowed, and a thought came to their minds in unison: This... is more like a hush money than compensation!

But in the end, everyone accepted the kindness with kindness.After a little practice with the nearby monsters, everyone was full of praise, and happily left with the free magic tools and the bullets bought with real money.

No one unwisely mentioned the first mage who mysteriously disappeared after meeting His Highness.

But because a small oil bottle left by the mage was left in the city lord's mansion to take good care of it, the mage himself was fortunate to share a room with His Highness, and both of them did not appear in front of everyone for more than a day, some aspects inevitably appeared in the city. rumors.

Suddenly, there were more men in the city of Liutiao who wore monk robes and shaved their hair short.

Time passed slowly.

On the third day, everyone who still didn't see His Highness panicked—even for His Highness, three days is too ridiculous...!Is there really no problem?

The castellan's wife, who had already been informed by Oda Kaiyin personally, skillfully comforted people's hearts and did not do anything superfluous.

It wasn't until she heard that her husband, who was under house arrest, had surrounded the mansion with a team of troops, that her face changed slightly.

When she rushed to the main hall, on the other side of the gate, the city lord, who had already lost half of his weight in a short period of time, cast his eyes on her with a cold face.

Behind him was a line of silent warriors.There are quite a few of them, all of whom are unfamiliar faces, and quite a few of them hold firearms. They should have looted the arsenal before coming here.

Madam was not surprised, after all, this man was also the long-running lord of Liutiao City, and it was not surprising that he had some loyal subordinates.

What she wondered was why this person had the guts to jump out at this time.

"Your Highness, she has already left, right?"

As if seeing her doubts, the city lord sneered triumphantly: "Who would have thought that a woman who is revered by you as a god would be so passionate? She was easily seduced by a lowly mage! Just like this, I left you!"

The mayor's wife stopped talking, and there was obvious subtlety on her beautiful face.Her husband... did he really believe those rumors in the city?

"Women who are bewitched by love will never look back." The city lord's eyes were clearly ambitious, "Then this place should return to my rule! Those who stand in front of me, even my wife, will not show mercy."

He reminisced about the mountains of treasures and food piled up in the arsenal, granary, and treasure house that he had just opened, and he already regarded these as his own property, and waved his hand pretendingly.

When the sword light suddenly appeared, the face of the city lord's wife who was pointed at by the point of the knife was very calm, and there was even a little pity in her beautiful eyes.Behind her, a group of maids took out guns from their sleeves.

Seeing that a fierce life-and-death battle was about to start, there was a loud noise like thunder on the ground, and immediately, a heavy wooden door flew out from nowhere, knocking over a group of warriors who had not had time to swing their swords.

Both the madam and the city lord were stunned by this change, and they instinctively looked in the direction the gate was coming from.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a tall boy who is rare in this era appeared in front of everyone, pulling on his wooden clogs and moving like the wind.He was wearing a loose and simple dark blue bathrobe, with a displeased look on his face.Under the ostentatious white hair, a pair of special eyes that are not at all what humans should be glanced around indifferently. His expression was completely indifferent, but the presence of just one person overwhelmed everyone present.

"This... is the Lord Wu that His Highness mentioned...has woken up?" The wife of the city lord recognized the identity of the person, her eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't help but lamented that fate has tricked people.When His Highness was around, he tried to wake up this Master Wu every day, but he didn't see results for a long time.Because of this, His Highness thought that the lord would not be able to wake up in a short period of time, so he embarked on the journey secretly alone - he really did not expect that the lord would suddenly wake up in the short time after His Highness left.

How can this be handled?Do you want to inform His Highness first?What is the temper of Master Wu, who has been sleeping all this time?How should we communicate?He looks very angry...

At this time, the lady of the city owner had completely put her husband's little act of rebellion in her eyes. She had a sad face, and as expected, she heard the boy come to her and question her.

"Hey, where is Haiyin?"

Not paying attention to all the things that are happening here, all he cares about is His Royal Highness.

The mayor's wife was quite emotional.The young man is like the moon hanging alone in the sky, his completely unrestrained aura is so strong that it is difficult to breathe.Compared with His Highness, he is obviously more lacking in empathy, and even less able to take care of the feelings of mortals like them. Those god-like eyes that can see through everything can't reflect anyone's shadow, overlooking all sentient beings equally, except His Highness—— —

There was no way to lie under those miraculous eyes, so the wife of the mayor had no choice but to reveal all the information she knew.

When she regained her senses, the boy in front of her had disappeared.

The city lord on the opposite side and all his subordinates seemed to have been severely run over by a hurricane. Rows of rows were stuck to the wall, and all of them lost their fighting ability.

"Ma'am, just now...?"

The bewildered maids asked their master in horror.

"It's a gift from the gods." The beautiful lady covered her lips with a light smile, and responded: "Send my husband and his warriors to the prison where the monsters are. Next, we just need to guard here and wait It’s enough for the two lovely gods to return.”
