In a familiar Japanese courtyard.
Under the breeze-filled corridor, the two old men, the priest and the elder Zong, were still playing chess.
However, the harmonious and peaceful environment of the small courtyard could not keep the two of them calm. The steps of playing chess were far more messy than usual, and their level dropped directly to the novice stage.
The priest was twisting a chess piece in his hand, his old and majestic face was tense, but his eyes could not hide the irritability.
The flexible thinking in the past was disturbed by anger, and I really couldn't figure out how to make the move in front of me.
He suddenly grabbed the chessboard with both hands and lifted it hard.
The chessboard flew out with a crackle and fell against the wall, with the chess pieces scattered all over the floor.
Looking at the still angry priest, Elder Zong slowly put down the chess piece in his hand and sighed.
He knew why the priest was so angry. The news came back last night that even he himself smashed two priceless antiquities at home.
The trap against Hoshikai Hikaru was originally foolproof - the weapons master was stronger than him, and he also brought people, and there was Kagebei to help, and Kagebei also had a trump card that could kill him together, plus Nagumo Narumi as a hostage threat .
With such a safe arrangement, Mr. Zong could not imagine that it would be a total failure last night.
Without the important soldier Kagebei and the weapons master who spent a lot of resources to train, his control over the resistance has been severely reduced.
If Xinghaiguang could be killed, then these losses would be acceptable, but Xinghaiguang escaped unharmed, and even the hostages he captured were rescued.
Not even a single person was left alive, and he didn’t even know how he lost.
Such a major failure cannot be suppressed by the two of them, and they can only report it to the high priest.
As the priest who strongly advocated killing Xinghaiguang, he was naturally the first person in charge. He was severely reprimanded and punished by the high priest last night, so he is still angry and unable to control his emotions.
"no!"
The priest, who was still angry, suddenly said: "We cannot allow Xinghaiguang to continue to grow, otherwise he will definitely become a formidable enemy of our Protectorate, and we must eliminate him as soon as possible."
It's still the same old rhetoric, but Elder Zong knows that the priest probably really thought so when he said this before, but now he is bringing up the old thing again, that is, he wants to restore his negative image in the heart of the great priest by killing Xinghaiguang.
Elder Zong couldn't help but persuade: "We have lost the weapons master, and each shadow soldier is under the personal jurisdiction of the great priest. We have no extra power to deal with Xinghaiguang."

The priest said dissatisfied: "If you leave it alone, what will happen if Xinghaiguang comes to your door?"
Elder Zong suppressed a smile: "Let's talk about it after he finds us."
The Protectorate is hidden deep behind the scenes, and the sea of stars is strong, but alone, with no power and power, trying to find the Protectorate is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.
The priest also knew that he had said something stupid. After thinking for a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "That loser Tsuyun Shinji gave him so much help, but he still failed."
If Tsugumo Shinji could seize the deceased, and there were killers at his disposal, they would not be stretched thin in terms of force now.
Seeing that the priest still refused to give up, Elder Zong had no choice but to continue to persuade: "The Heavenly Sacrifice is about to begin. After the Heavenly Sacrifice is over, the Great Priest will not let Xinghaiguang, an enemy who threatens the Protectorate, be allowed to do so. I will take action personally.”
The priest sneered in a low voice: "Two of the three divine weapons have been lost. Even if the divine servants are selected after the heavenly festival and there are no divine weapons available, it will only be two more Kagebei, which is a waste of effort."
Hearing these mocking words, Elder Zong couldn't help but sigh: "The Celestial Clan is pressing forward step by step. What else can we do besides doing these things?"
Both of them fell silent, feeling the pressure of silence and uncertainty about the future.
If Japan were a normal country, they could still rely on the state machinery to deal with the Celestials.
But it happened that Japan was just a colony cloaked in the guise of a country, and was completely unable to resist the invasion of the Celestials.
After a long silence, Mr. Zong suddenly said: "Take care of it."
The sliding door in the room opened, and two maids with low eyebrows came in on their knees and packed up the chessboard and chess pieces scattered on the floor.
Elder Zong turned to look at Sarina who was waiting next door, and said kindly: "Sarina, during the heavenly sacrifice ceremony in a few days, you must be more upbeat and work hard to become a divine servant and live up to our expectations."
Sarina leaned down slightly and said, "As you wish, Master Zong."
…
Chizuru Godera not only accepted Nagumo Asuka as a student, but also accepted Nagumo Narumi. After all, she was also an esper.
One of the two sisters is a fire element, and the other is a water element. They can be called the two heavens of ice and fire.
When Xu Cheng came to Chizuru Godera's house the next day, he saw that she was giving special training to the Nanyun sisters and the prophets - mainly training their physical fitness and reflexes, and teaching some self-defense skills by the way.
Seeing Chizuru Yudera reprimanding the three of them like a grandson, Xu Cheng couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and start filming, which made the three of them look at him angrily.
"Practice on your own."
Yudera Qianhe dropped a word and then came to Xu Cheng: "Come here so early?"
"Hurry up, or else you'll hold it all in your heart and won't be able to eat or sleep."
Xu Cheng smiled and replied that Chizuru Godera sent him a message last night saying that he had found a member of the Godera family living in seclusion in Tokyo and might know the secret of the year.
So he hurried over after breakfast, wanting to find someone with Chizuru Godera.
"Shall we leave now?"
"etc."
Yudera Qianhe called out to the eager Xu Cheng, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "It's time for you to apply ambergris."
Only then did Xu Cheng realize that seven days had passed since he first applied ambergris.
But what happened during the process made his heart beat faster.
Yudera Qianhe seemed to have thought of the same thing, and her eyes met with Xu Cheng's, and they separated instantly.
She pretended to be free and easy, reaching out and patting Xu Cheng's shoulder: "You go take a shower first, I'll be there in a minute."
Yudera Qianhe didn't care anymore. Xu Cheng, a grown man, certainly wouldn't be shy. He turned around and walked towards the room where the clubhouse was built last time.
"Little sister, what do you think Mogu and Teacher Qianhe are going to do?"
Nagumo Narumi sneaked close to the prophet's ear and cooed.
The prophet stared at her expressionlessly: "Why did you add a small word in front of my sister?"
She seriously suspected that this damn girl was deliberately mocking her for her small breasts.
Nagumo Narumi looked innocent: "Because I want to distinguish myself from my sister."
The prophet suggested: "You can call me Sister Prophet."
Narumi Nagumo followed the good advice: "Miss Prophet."
Prophet:?
Nagumo Narumi said again: "How about we go take a look secretly?"
The prophet was a little excited. After using his ability to predict, he immediately said seriously: "I want to exercise, I'm not interested."
Unable to win over his companions, the righteous leader of the Miracle Group had no choice but to act alone while his sister was not paying attention.
She searched around the room and soon found a closed door, and there was a slight movement from inside.
Nagumo Narumi immediately squatted in front of the door, put his ear to it, and vaguely heard the strange sound of water.
How to describe it, it's like the sound of slippery liquid being applied to your hands.
As an expert in water play, Nagumo Narumi gave a very accurate metaphor.
After eavesdropping for a while, I heard Teacher Qianzuru's voice: "You're not feeling well yet? Why did it take so long?"
Then Mugu's voice seemed to be filled with smugness despite embarrassment: "For me personally, long is a compliment."
"What are they doing?"
Nagumo Narumi really couldn't figure it out, so he subconsciously reached out to push the door, but with a slight push, it actually opened.
Before he could be happy, his whole body froze and he noticed obvious murderous intent.
She slowly raised her head and saw Chizuru Odera's eyes appearing in the crack of the door, staring down at her. In her ruthless eyes, it seemed that she wanted to kill someone and silence her.
Nagumo Narumi showed a smile that was even uglier than crying.
A few minutes later, she returned to the prophet with a panda eye on her face and an unconvinced look on her face.
"You tell me..."
Just as he was about to gossip to the prophet about what he had just overheard, Nagumo Narumi heard his sister's chilling voice coming from behind.
"Where have you been slacking off? You were caught once and you still like running around, right?"
Nayun Narumi trembled all over, with cold sweat streaming down his face.
"Sister, listen to my excuses."
"Wait until I finish."
"Oh, it hurts."
Seeing the idiot being dragged away by Na Yun Asuka, the linguist showed a gloating smile.
She didn't dare to gossip because she saw a dangerous future. This damn girl actually wanted to drag her into trouble.
After applying the ambergris, Xu Cheng and Yusi Qianhe left the villa together and drove to the place where the Yusi tribe lived in seclusion.
Along the way, both of them remained silent.
It was obviously the second time, but the atmosphere was even more embarrassing than the first time, mainly because there were new tricks this time.
Because Xu Cheng had endured for a long time and was disturbed by Narumi Nagumo, in order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, Chizuru Godera finally had to use other methods.
This was not a lot of family affection in the first place, but it smelled like something had gone bad, which made the two of them very embarrassed.
Xu Cheng's eyes subconsciously lowered and landed on Yudera Chizuru's thighs wrapped in jeans.
Although he can't see it now, he has personally verified the detailed data.
As if sensing Xu Cheng's gaze, Yudera Qianhe felt a slight heat and strangeness in her heart.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. She obviously regarded Xiao Cheng as her younger brother, but why did things turn out like this.
The two of them were silent all the way, and after driving for almost an hour, they arrived in Saitama Prefecture near Tokyo.
Arriving here, Yudera Chizuru finally spoke, and while driving, she introduced the tribesman she found to Xu Cheng.
She is an old woman, almost old enough to be Xu Cheng's grandmother, and she is also the grandmother-level clan member of Yudera Chizuru - her real grandmother's cousin.
Not to mention Xu Cheng, even Yudera Qianhe himself was surprised. If he hadn't searched for it this time, there would be such a relative alive in the world.
The car turned into an ancient street, and not long after, I encountered a young man cursing in front of a shop, and even kicked the closed door with his leg.
When Xu Cheng saw Yudera Qianhe stop, he said doubtfully: "Let's go."
Chizuru Godera looked at the young people and the store in front of her with a strange expression: "This store is the place we are looking for."
Only then did Xu Cheng become serious. The store in front of him was a clothing store. The young man was probably in his early twenties and looked like a sneaky street kid.
He originally thought it was a gangster looking for trouble and asking for protection money, but after listening to a few words, he realized that it was not the case.
"Come out, old woman!"
The young man kicked and kicked the closed shop door, and at the same time cursed: "Old immortal, your inheritance is mine, why should you give it to outsiders!?"
It turns out that it also involves family drama over inheritance.
Xu Cheng turned to look at Yudera Qianhe: "Does your Yudera family leave any valuable legacy?"
Chizuru Godera saw that the young man was still kicking the door and couldn't help but press the car horn.
The young man raised his leg and kicked the door. The car horn frightened him so much that he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
After he stood up, he rushed up and slapped the front cover of the sports car with both hands: "Get out of the car, get out of the car for me, I want you to look good!"
This kind of momentum and courage can only be said to be a character who has become accustomed to it in the local area, and is more than just a fool.
As Yudera Qianhe was about to get out of the car, Xu Cheng held her down and said, "Let me do it."
Yudera Qianhe had no choice but to stop and watch Xu Cheng get out of the car and start negotiating with the angry young man.
The young man was very excited, pushed Xu Cheng, and then pointed at his face.
Sitting in the car, you can hear his voice: "Hit me!"
boom!
Xu Cheng knocked him down with one punch.
Yudera Qianhe opened the car door and walked out. Looking at the young man lying on the ground with blood on his face and several broken front teeth, he and Xu Cheng looked at each other in silence.
The window on the second floor of the clothing store suddenly opened, and a silver-haired old lady stuck her head out to check.
This should be Reiko Odera.
Xu Cheng raised his head and asked the old lady, "Old lady, is this your grandson?"
Misera Reiko looked at the young man on the ground and shook her head: "No, my grandson has front teeth, but this one doesn't."
Xu Cheng couldn't help but laugh, this old lady was quite humorous.
Godera Reiko said to Godera Chizuru again: "Come in, Chizuru."
Xu Cheng looked back at her: "Have you been here before?"
Chizuru Godera shook her head in surprise. The two parties had not seen each other for more than ten years, so why did the old lady look like she had known she would come.
The door of the clothing store was opened quickly. It was opened by a delicate girl in kimono. She bowed slightly to the two of them: "Please come in."
I followed the girl to the second floor of the clothing store and saw Reiko Odera who was making clothes.
She stopped her work, took off her reading glasses, looked at Chizuru Odera in front of her, and smiled kindly: "You are still the same as you were more than ten years ago, not much has changed."
"Grandma Reiko."
Chizuru Godera said in surprise: "Did you know that I am coming today?"
"I didn't know you were coming today."
Godera Reiko shook her head: "I knew you would come one day. People in the Godera family are most afraid of loneliness. We can't do without family ties and love. You persisted for twelve years before coming to me, which makes me very sad. I’m surprised, the Godera family still needs you to flourish and have children after all.”
Her eyes fell on Xu Cheng beside her: "Is this your husband? Although he is a little young, he is still okay. Who made you like it when you were a child..."
Xu Cheng almost burst out in anger. He was using an ability card. He looked like a minor, and there was a difference of more than ten years between him and Chizuru Odera.
Odera Reiko actually thought of him as Odera Chizuru's husband. Is this old lady confused?
"Grandma Reiko!"
Chizuru Godera interrupted Reiko Godera loudly: "He is not my husband, he is my recognized brother. Don't talk nonsense."
"What's wrong, brother?"
Godera Reiko said with a smile: "As long as there is love, it doesn't matter if you are a younger brother. If you add family affection and love, it means kissing and kissing. How wonderful!"
Xu Cheng was shocked. This old lady was sober.
Kissing and kissing is so right.
"Grandma Reiko, stop talking nonsense."
Chizuru Godera was very dissatisfied and said: "You still have the same problem as before, you like to make fun of others."
Godera Reiko covered the lower half of her face with her sleeves, revealing only her crescent-like eyes: "When people get old, they like to recall the past. Only those with a childlike innocence can live longer."
Her elegant posture is simply something that comes from a lady's background. Although her years have passed, it can still be seen that she was definitely a beauty who was not inferior to Chizuru when she was young.
Even though you are old, you still have charm and charm.
The old lady controls the excitement and likes it.jpg
"Grandma Reiko."
Chizuru Godera sat up straight and said seriously: "I came here today specifically to ask you for advice. After I left, what happened to the Godera family that led to the destruction of the family, and my brother Kirito Godera, who What happened after you were taken away?"
She bowed her head deeply to Reiko Godera: "Please, please tell me."
Misera Reiko gradually calmed down the smile on her face and sighed: "I originally planned that if you kept refusing to come to me, I would take all these secrets to the grave. Now that you are here, I will naturally not hide them. Holding you."
She said to the pretty girl standing by: "Yui, go make some cups of tea."
The girl nodded and left with small steps.
Ten minutes later, the three of them were sitting on the balcony with a wide view. There was a table in the middle, with three cups of hot green tea and several plates of snacks on it.
Odera Reiko fell into memories and spoke after a long time.
"The experience of the Godera family must start with the Guardian Council..."
This is a mysterious organization that believes in Amaterasu. It once had many names. After Japan was defeated in World War II, it was renamed the Protectorate of Japan.
The Protectorate is very mysterious. Although there are many members, basically only people at the level of the family leader know about the existence of the Protectorate, so they can always hide in secret without being discovered.
The Godera family was once one of the old Chinese families in Japan, and was also a member of the Protectorate Council. They had a prominent position. They were not liquidated after Japan's defeat. They hid in the countryside guarding their ancestral property and lived a small life.
However, the Godera family was not willing to degenerate into rich men. In order to return to the top of the Protectorate, they set their sights on a ceremony called the Heavenly Festival.
The Heavenly Sacrifice is a tradition of the Protectorate. Every once in a while, men and women must be sacrificed to the Great God Amaterasu. As long as they are recognized by the Great God Amaterasu, they can become a divine attendant, enter Takamagahara, and may even obtain one of the three divine weapons. Become a great priest.
The great priest's family will also rise and become the top in the Protectorate.
