Utsunomiya Mina looked at him sideways.
Although Haruhiko used lip reading to avoid drawing too much attention, she stood close and knew exactly what he had done.
There is no doubt that he opened the door.
And judging from the reactions of Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Tsuchimikado Mari, they knew a lot of inside information.
Only she was kept in the dark.
For some reason, Utsunomiya Mina felt a little sour in her heart.
It was obvious that she had given everything, but she didn't expect that Haruhiko was hiding something from her.
Various speculations emerged.
Of course Haruhiko didn't know.
If she knew, it could only be said that she thought too much.
There is no harm in telling Utsunomiya Mina about the snake god's words.
"The ruins should be behind the door."
Tsuchimikado Mari raised her hand calmly, "It's just that we need to investigate whether there is any danger."
As soon as she finished speaking, flames burst out of her white palms.
A butterfly was born from the flames and flew into the door.
"There's no trap at the door."
The expression on Tsuchimikado Marri's face changed, "But the ruins inside are somewhat beyond my expectation."
"What is it?"
Tsuchimikado Mashiro glanced at her, a little curious.
Tsuchimikado Mahri has lived for nearly a thousand years and has seen a lot.
There weren't many things that could surprise her.
"You'll understand when you see it."
Tsuchimikado Mahri didn't explain, stepped directly into the door, and disappeared.
"Let's go in."
Seeing this, Tsuchimikado Mashiro also followed.
Haruhiko took a step forward and felt his eyes darken.
Space fluctuations flashed.
After a period of physical dizziness, the vision stopped.
He opened his eyes and immediately understood what Tsuchimikado Mari said before.
In front of us is an ancient city.
The city wall is nearly ten meters high, completely blocking the view, with no end in sight.
But if that's the case, that's okay.
What puzzled him the most was how lively the city was.
Pedestrians in various attires entered and exited through the city gate.
And judging from the aura, they are all monsters.
"What does it say?"
Tsuchimikado Marri's words brought Haruhiko back to his senses.
He looked in the direction she pointed and saw three large characters on the left side of the city wall.
"It's Mount Ibuki."
Haruhiko didn't even believe it when he said it.
Mount Ibuki is one of Japan's famous mountains, located in Shiga Prefecture.
In the legend of Shuten-dōji, Oeyama is generally considered his hometown, but there is also a theory of Mount Ibuki.
In addition, there are monsters like Ibuki-douji.
It is said that his father is the great god of Mount Ibuki, also known as Yamata no Orochi.
But no matter what the legend is, under normal circumstances, Mount Ibuki cannot appear in the ruins of Takamagahara.
Not to mention existing as a city.
"Ibuki-san?"
Tsuchimikado Mari also immediately thought of Yamata no Orochi.
"Is this an illusion?"
Haruhiko asked, pointing to the pedestrians coming and going.
"It should be an illusion."
Tsuchimikado Mahri frowned slightly, "But it's not an ordinary illusion, I can't tell."
As she spoke, she turned her attention to Tsuchimikado Mashiro.
"Let me try."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro raised his fingers and touched his eyes.
A golden light flashed, exuding a divine meaning.
Haruhiko has seen it before.
Now he was convinced that this was the power of incense.
In a sense, it is divine power.
No wonder Tsuchimikado Mahri once said that no one understands gods better than Tsuchimikado Mahiro.
Her core spell is the art of becoming a god.
But this is obviously flawed.
The incense tainted the wishes of so many people that Tsuchimikado Mashiro prepared a substitute.
But can a substitute become a god?
Most likely not.
Haruhiko remembered that they all said that waiting for him to become a fifth-level spell master would be of great help.
There is no doubt that this is hinted at.
"is fake."
The golden light in Tsuchimikado Mashiro's eyes dissipated, "They are maintained by a special force."
"You mean a certain spiritual tool?"
Utsunomiya Mina's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although she was released from the restriction, she was still at the fourth level.
Previously, with the help of synaesthesia spells and heavenly authority spells, I could barely compete with the fifth level.
But now that most of the power has declined, it has not reached this point.
This illusion makes it impossible for Tsuchimikado Mahri to tell the difference between real and fake.
If it is a spiritual tool, it must be worth a lot of money.
Even if the Utsunomiya clan could only get 40%, they would still be rich.
"Not sure."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro shook his head slightly and said, "I can't see the source of this power. It seems that if you want to find out, you have to go into the city to explore."
"Then let's go to town."
Haruhiko and Utsunomiya Mina have similar ideas.
Besides, as a player, if you have a treasure, you definitely can’t miss it.
"Follow me."
Tsuchimikado Mahri held Haruhiko's hand and glanced at Tsuchimikado Mahiro by the way.
Her hands were soft and warm.
But before Haruhiko had time to think about it, he felt the prick of needles.
One is the look in Tsuchimikado Mashiro's eyes.
The second is Utsunomiya Mina's eyes.
Haruhiko doesn't care much about the latter.
But the former made him a little frightened.
He subconsciously wanted to break free from Tsuchimikado Mari's hand.
It's of no use.
Tsuchimikado Marri tightened her grip, and even scratched the palm of his hand with her little finger.
Itchy.
Just like her temptation.
Tsuchimikado Mashiro snorted coldly and walked forward quickly.
She was obviously angry.
Haruhiko was speechless, and he rolled his eyes at Tsuchimikado Mahri.
It's already this time, do you still have the intention to be angry with her?
Are you angry with her? It's obviously to harm me.
The corners of Tsuchimikado Mahri's lips curled up slightly.
The group of people walked to the city gate.
It was only then that Haruhiko noticed that the soldiers guarding the city were not human either.
It should be a snake monster.
They still maintain certain characteristics after transformation.
Snake scales remain on the face.
"Stop!"
Just as Haruhiko was looking at him, the soldier also noticed him.
"Can we still have a conversation?"
Haruhiko couldn't help but secretly admit that he was surprised.
"Looking at the way you are dressed, you must not be local, right?"
The soldier stepped forward to stop them and asked.
"no."
Tsuchimikado Mari answered.
"According to the rules of Mount Ibuki, you need to explain where you come from."
The soldier glanced at everyone and said.
It is worth mentioning that his reaction was calm.
This is true even after seeing so many high-level psychics.
Haruhiko's heart skipped a beat.
This question is difficult to answer.
Judging from the city and the clothing of the pedestrians, it should be hundreds of years ago, or even a thousand years ago.
And they come from modern times.
What plot will be triggered if the answer is wrong?
"Kyushu Kumamoto Yashirokai."
Just when Haruhiko was hesitating whether to report the destination for the first week, Tsuchimikado Mari had already spoken.
"Yashirokai?"
The soldier showed a surprised expression when he heard this.
"Any questions?"
Tsuchimikado Marri asked in a calm tone.
"Are you Shiranui?"
The soldier immediately revealed her identity.
"You know me?"
Tsuchimikado Mahri was a little surprised and said with a slight smile, "You are quite knowledgeable."
"Kageyuki conquered Kyushu and saw your true appearance in the Yatsushiro Sea, so he avoided it and called the place where you are the Fire Country."
The soldier looked respectful and said, "Your behavior has greatly embarrassed our demon clan."
Haruhiko looked at Tsuchimikado Mari in surprise when he heard this.
He hadn't heard her talk about it.
As for Jing Xing, he was the human ruler of Japan at that time.
"I see."
Tsuchimikado Mahri was thoughtful.
She already knew the age of the city.
It was actually the time when she had just become Shiranui.
In other words, nearly a thousand years, or even longer.
"I wonder what your business is here?"
The attitude of the soldiers changed drastically.
But there are extenuating circumstances.
In this era, monsters are quite real.
Pay more attention to strength.
"I want to see your city lord."
After thinking for a moment, Tsuchimikado Marri said.
Since this is all an illusion, and it is maintained by a force.
As the center, the city lord must be related to it.
"Please wait."
The soldier didn't refuse or agree, he just said he wanted to report it.
Tsuchimikado Mari nodded.
A group of people were waiting nearby.
There was constant chatter all around.
Haruhiko listened and found that there were two main categories.
One category is daily chores.
One is the conflict between humans and monsters.
This city is called Mount Ibuki, whether it is the legendary place or not.
But all the passers-by are monsters, this is true.
Haruhiko recalled the events of the first week.
At that time, gods walked the earth.
Humans are uniquely blessed, and therefore consider themselves to have a higher status than monsters.
In addition, monsters will drop various materials, so there is a blood feud between the two.
Even now, this is the case.
It was only because humans had the upper hand that they reluctantly reconciled.
But secretly they are still competing against each other.
"Why were you sealed in that ruins?"
Tsuchimikado Mashiro was a little bored while waiting, so he asked.
At this time, the rest of the people were far away and could not hear the conversation.
When Qingyan heard this, he subconsciously raised his head.
He remembered what Mashiro Tsuchimikado said before, that she met Mari Tsuchimikado in the ruins.
But what he didn't expect was the seal.
Logically speaking, with Tsuchimikado Mahri's strength as a fifth-level great demon, it would be quite difficult to be sealed.
"nothing."
Tsuchimikado Marri said calmly, "Spying on gods will naturally lead to punishment."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro suddenly understood.
The method she obtained to become a god through incense was given by Tsuchimikado Marri.
Just like big forces and big families competing for interests.
Aren't the gods competing for incense?
But anyone who is not a god who wants to participate will definitely be severely punished.
"You are so brave."
Tsuchimikado Mashiro praised.
"I've always been very courageous."
The corners of Tsuchimikado Mahri's lips curled up slightly and she said, "No matter what aspect it is."
As she said that, she glanced at Haruhiko.
"..."
Mashiro Tsuchimikado suddenly became angry and his upper body heaved.
Haruhiko felt dizzy.
This is much more exciting than Tachibana Yui.
The main thing is to be ready to come out.
But why did you involve yourself again?
You will be tricked one day.
Haruhiko remembered that Tsuchimikado Mari had said that she would assist him.
But is it really an assist?
"Dear guests."
The soldier came back and said, "The city lord has agreed, please come with me."
"Thank you."
Tsuchimikado Mahri nodded slightly.
Entering the city, the scene becomes more prosperous.
The only thing that made Haruhiko uncomfortable was that a lot of eyes fell on him.
Before, there were some low-level monsters at the city gate.
But once inside, some monsters noticed something special about him.
"Hey, where did this handsome guy come from?"
The sudden frivolous voice made Haruhiko raise his head subconsciously.
I saw two beautiful and disheveled women standing at the railing on the second floor nearby.
The one on the left is beautiful, rich and generous, revealing a patch of snow.
After noticing Haruhiko's gaze, he stuck out his long tongue.
It's really long, at least twenty centimeters, and there are forks at the end.
This is the snake's tongue.
There is no doubt that her true form is a snake.
The one on the right is slightly inferior.
But he is still generous, and his collarbone and shoulders are clearly visible.
The most eye-catching thing is the two black sharp horns on the forehead.
Just as the soldier was about to reply, he noticed that Tsuchimikado Mari's breath suddenly became colder.
The two beauties suddenly turned pale, realizing that they had kicked an iron plate.
Regardless of the era, fifth-level psykers are extremely rare existences.
They turned and disappeared.
The soldier was stunned.
He glanced at Haruhiko subconsciously.
I don’t know what’s so special about him that makes several great demons so jealous.
But he didn't dare to ask, so he could only continue to lead the way.
Haruhiko's heart skipped a beat.
It was rare for him to see the majesty of Tsuchimikado Mahri, a fifth-level demon.
It's really oppressive.
After a brief interlude, the group arrived at the castle tower.
The castle tower refers to the tallest building in the city and is a symbol of power.
The appearance is white, like a tower, and is divided into several floors, with the area decreasing from bottom to top.
Because they had received the invitation from the city lord, they entered the castle tower smoothly.
Passing through a corridor, we came to a palace.
"The Lord of the City is inside."
The soldier bowed slightly and said, "I dare not go in without an order."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Tsuchimikado Marri and Tsuchimikado Mashiro looked at each other and walked to the front.
It was quite cold in the palace.
Haruhiko shuddered as soon as he entered.
It stands to reason that it is a sunny day outside.
It shouldn't be so cold in here.
Therefore, the source lies with the city lord.
Sitting on a high seat was a young woman who looked to be about thirty years old.
She was wearing a kimono and her face was cold and delicate.
But there was heavy makeup on her face, especially the purple eye shadow that was clearly visible on her eyes.
Her skin is full of health and is dark to dark.
Other than that, it's her snake tail.
It was all white, as if it were alive, wrapped around her arm.
When it noticed them, the snake's tail suddenly turned into a snake's head, and it opened its mouth, revealing its teeth and saliva.
"My name is Ibuki."
Ibuki's light red eyes looked at everyone.
Finally it stopped on Haruhiko's body.
She had a strange look in her eyes, one that showed both longing and pity.
"Ibuki Douji?"
Tsuchimikado Mahri raised her eyebrows, "I didn't expect you to really exist."
"Are you really the child of Ibukiyama Daimyojin?"
Tsuchimikado Mashiro couldn't help but asked curiously.
It is not unusual for gods to have children.
But if it were Yamata-no-Orochi, it would be particularly special.
"All snake monsters are his children."
Ibuki answered the question.
However, this also illustrates a problem.
She is not a real child of Yamata no Orochi.
Possibly the one with the strongest bloodline among the snake monsters.
"You Shiranui, you came all the way to Mount Ibuki, what's the matter?"
Ibuki looked at Tsuchimikado Mari and asked.
py is a new book by a big guy. If you are interested, you can take a look.
"In this life, I won't even talk about love dogs"
In the first life, I was licked by Green Tea Green Plum and Fish for 10 years. She said she only regarded me as her brother and turned around and got into someone else's car.
In the second life, I realized it and I will never lick it again! I saved a Bai Fumei sister. I thought I could fall in love sweetly and lie down happily. But who would have thought that the yandere senior sister would create a psychological shadow for my life?
In the third life, I have enlightened! I really realized it! If we fall in love again, I will be a dog!
In this life, we don’t even talk about love dogs!
Woof! Woof woof! !
