I didn't finish the second chapter last night, so I posted it after the first chapter for free. You can go back and read it, otherwise you won't be able to follow this chapter.
*******
The so-called sword tester family actually recruits disciples from outside.
There is no way, Wano is a country of samurai, and every samurai has a corresponding sword.
And almost all knives must be tested for quality by knife testers. Just relying on the family members, even if they don't get out of bed every day, they won't be able to produce so many babies.
Recruiting disciples from outside has become an inevitable choice.
As an evil-oriented profession, knife testers generally have no strict requirements on the character of their disciples - after all, you can't do this if you have too good a character.
The test project is to chop wood piles.
The persona Luo Jie arranged for himself was that of a young ronin with a family heritage. The purpose of infiltrating the Yamada family was to serve as a supervisor of death row prisoners, so he did not suppress his strength too much in the test, he just didn't use it.
As a result, the wooden stake, which was as thick as an adult's waist, was neatly cut in two.
The examiner was a little surprised and asked him to change the knife and try again. After getting the same result, he immediately called a one-eyed young man wearing the white uniform of the Yamada family as if he had found a treasure.
"I am, are you the initiate with natural divine power?"
Being born with divine power is not a rare character design even in the real world, but in an era dominated by cold weapons, this setting is still quite popular.
"I have been stronger than my peers since I was a child, and I ate more. My family couldn't afford to feed me, so they gave me to a passing swordsman. After several years of sword training, the master died of old age, and I didn't know where to go. , I heard that being a knife tester makes a lot of money, so I came to try my luck."
The one-eyed young man nodded while listening. With the current situation in Wano, it is actually very common for people like this to become knife testers just to earn a living.
"how old are you?"
"15 years old."
The one-eyed young man nodded again, and his eyes fell on the dog at Luo Jie's feet. Before he could speak, Luo Jie took the initiative to explain: "This dog accompanied me all the way to the Flower Capital, and it can be regarded as my family. "
"I actually wanted to ask why you brought a pig with you...forget it, if you look closely, it does look a bit like a dog."
…
As the largest family of knife testers, the family's business is busy and manpower is always under tension.
In order to improve efficiency, the Yamada family refined their clan members and disciples and divided them into three categories - sword appraisal, beheading, and medicine.
Each category performs its own duties and operates in an orderly manner.
In order to get the boat ticket to go, Luo Jie naturally chose.
The number of disciples who choose this category has always been the smallest among the three categories. After all, compared to the huge profits of He, it is really not very profitable.
Luo Jie mingled among his disciples while pretending to be new, while secretly observing the characters who had appeared in the original work of "Hell Music".
What surprised him was that the strength of these knife testers was surprisingly low. The swords were all based on physical strength. Only one blind man seemed to be in control of the basic ones.
It's not difficult to understand when you think about it. The sword testers chop at targets that cannot resist, and they will not face life and death crises. Just like those academic warriors who work behind closed doors all day long, it is impossible to understand the truly powerful killing skills on their own.
Relying on the "maximum compatibility between sword weapons and skills" title of [Sword Master], Luo Jie showed an amazing talent for decapitation, and climbed to fifth place in the internal competition in less than half a month. Location.
There are ten places to go, and this place is just right in the middle, neither conspicuous nor unexpectedly lost.
During this period, Luo Jie also saw the heroine in the original work of "Hell Music" - the daughter of the head of the Yamada family.
She was a seventeen-year-old girl with a pretty good appearance, and she had a somewhat shadowy appearance of wielding a sword, but there was a trace of confusion in her eyes from time to time. Apparently, she did not have the consciousness of "killing deeds, not people" as a decapitator.
How about a crotch stick to give this girl some life lessons?
Luo Jie thought about it and decided to forget it. Although this girl's qualifications were good, her career position overlapped with his own. The only effect of putting her on the ship was that "the beautiful swordsman came with meat."
As for the other members of the beheading team... I'm sorry, he was too lazy to remember, and not many of them survived at the end of the plot anyway.
…
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the Yamada family received a secret mission from the General Palace, requiring them to send ten people as supervisors to go to the legendary fairy island to search for the elixir of immortality together with the selected death row prisoners.
As the fifth-ranked rookie, Luo Jie was successfully selected without any surprise.
With him as an intruder, a character in the original work will inevitably be replaced.
For unknown reasons, the Yamada family temporarily recalled the number one ranking member.
It was the one-eyed young man I saw when I first entered.
That's fine. Luo Jie clearly remembered that this was just a supporting character who looked like a supporting role. As soon as he arrived on the island, he was slapped and sent away by the death row prisoner in charge of supervision. After receiving the box lunch, he pushed him away and saved him in disguise. Life.
What follows is basically the same as the original plot.
Luo Jie followed the Yamada family's team to an open space by the river. The vicious death row prisoners selected from all over the country had already gathered here.
He thought he would see it, but he didn't expect that the other party only sent one official beside him.
"You are all prisoners who have committed a capital crime, but the general is kind and willing to give you a chance to atone for your sins-"
While talking, the official ordered someone to carry a chair with a strange object placed on it.
It was a man whose whole body was covered with gorgeous flowers. He was obviously unconscious, but he still maintained a strong vitality.
"Years ago, a strange island was discovered near Wano Country. The general sent six groups of people to explore it, but only one came back."
"Based on the last few words left by this person, the General believes that there should be clues to the elixir of life on the island. Your mission is to find it and present it to the General."
"The first person to offer the elixir will be forgiven his death penalty."
Luo Jie's arm was hit by someone, and he turned around to find a handsome young man with long hair also wearing a white uniform.
The name of this person was that he had entered the same door a month ago. He also quickly climbed the rankings with amazing talent, and got the opportunity to supervise the death row prisoners to go to the fairy island.
Of course, Luo Jie also knew about this handsome young man's other identity - the younger brother of one of the death row inmates.
The other party entered Yamada's house just to play Infernal Affairs, and his purpose was not simple just like Luo Jie.
"Hey, Night Demon, do you think there is really an elixir of immortality on that fairy island?"
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Tongma, are you good at making a fortune?"
"Huh?" The long-haired handsome young man's face froze, and he forced himself to calm down and said, "I learned a little about it in a gambling house when I was a child, but I have almost forgotten it."
"Please remember it quickly. I may ask for something from you later... Of course, I won't let your help go to waste."
