Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 145 Miyata
"What are you doing?" Nara Yuankong said to Mo Fan who was sitting on the stone turtle.

Mo Fan turned around and glanced at the handsome little monk and said, "What's wrong?"

Narahara Sora said, "You can't sit on the statue. This is disrespectful to the statue."

Mo Fan tilted his head and said, "It's a nice view."

Narahara Sora began to chatter non-stop.

Mo Fan left here impatiently.

"What's your name?" Narahara Sora asked.

“Zhao Manyan.” Mo Fan casually said the name and left.

……

The next morning.

Lin Ran got up and put on his clothes.

“Old Zhao, it’s time to get up…” Lin Ran said, but Zhao Manyan did not reply.

Lin Ran glanced at Zhao Manyan and found that his face was blue. Lin Ran realized that something was wrong.

"Lin Ran..., his soul was taken away." Miyata appeared behind Lin Ran at some point.

Lin Ran turned around and looked at Gong Tian and said, "Do you know what's going on?"

Miyata nodded. Zhao Manyan's soul was taken away by Nara Hara Sora. The only way to get his soul back now is to defeat Nara Hara Sora.

Gong Tian told Lin Ran about the situation. At this time, Mu Ningxue walked in. As soon as she arrived, she saw Lin Ran talking to the air.

Mu Ningxue found it very strange. She looked at the space in front of Lin Ran and it was still empty.

"Oh my god, Lin Ran, why are you flirting with an island girl so early in the morning?" Mo Fan said to Lin Ran and Miyata in front of Lin Ran. Miyata looked like a very traditional island woman.

Mu Ningxue looked at Mo Fan and said, "Is there someone in front of Lin Ran?"

Mo Fan looked at Mu Ningxue in confusion and said, "There is a very beautiful Japanese girl in front of Lin Ran."

Lin Ran: “…”

Lin Ran's eyes fell on Miyata. Lin Ran stretched out his hand and placed it on Miyata's shoulder, just enough to touch it.

At this time, Miyata smiled bitterly and said, "I died a long time ago..."

Then Miyata told her story. A few years ago, a monk had an affair with a woman and was caught. Then Miyata and Narahara Sora were framed. Miyata couldn't stand these rumors so he chose to commit suicide. Narahara Sora, who knew about Miyata's suicide, turned into a demon, a demon that could take away people's souls. Narahara Sora has used Miyata to take away the souls of many people.

Now Nara Hara Sora has turned into a complete demon.

After understanding the reason, Lin Ran and Mo Fan prepared to look for Narahara Sora.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and a fair-skinned monk appeared in front of them.

The monk looked at Lin Ran fiercely and said, "Give Gongtian back to me!"

Then a red demon appeared.

Lin Ran didn't like to be bullied, so he raised his hand and flames burst out in an instant, burning Narahara Sora and the ghost beside him into nothingness in an instant. After solving the problem, Lin Ran looked at Miyata and said, "What should we do next?"

"Leave it to me next." Miyata left. She brought a vessel to everyone, and Zhao Manyan revived after a while.

Miyata looked at Lin Ran and said, "Thank you."

Then Miyata left.

Zhao Manyan rubbed his head and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Lin Ran spread his hands and said, "Maybe I had a nightmare..."

……

The long train slowly drove from the coastal area to the mainland. Continuous mountains were distributed on both sides of the train tracks. The mountains here in the island country were relatively clean, and the air was better than expected.

Lin Ran looked at the mountains that passed by in a flash, not knowing what he was thinking.

The train is better than the boat. At least you can sleep soundly when you are tired.

"We are going to Osaka." Ai Jiangtu suddenly said.

"Shouldn't we go straight to Tokyo?" Zhao Manyan asked.

"We are going to have competitions with some well-known universities in the island country. This is what our instructors have emphasized. There is an island country pavilion in Osaka, so before going to Tokyo, we have to pass the Osaka level first." Ai Jiangtu said.

“Challenging others, this is my favorite thing!” Mo Fan became very excited.

"It should be boring, right?" Lin Ran said.

“Hmph, Mo Fan, you are just a substitute. It is not your turn to participate in this kind of competition.” Zu Jiming said.

"How long until Osaka?"

"It should be soon."

"There are many sirens in island countries. I've heard that some of the city-sea lines in Osaka are famous naval battlefields. If we have enough time, we can go and take a look. I heard that the scene is spectacular." Jiang Yu said.

Osaka is a very unstable place. The situation is somewhat similar to that of the ancient capital of China, and large-scale wars often occur. Sirens are a super tribe among demons, so this island country is more prone to disasters than China.

Their buildings are very resistant to attack. Even if ordinary sirens step into the city, they may not be able to destroy these resistant buildings.

Osaka is actually pretty good, the most intense one is Tokyo.

This place is the most prosperous capital of the island country, but it is also the largest-scale naval battle city. Sirens of different races land here day and night, but they cannot shake the solid coastal shield of Tokyo and Osaka. This leads to Tokyo and Osaka receiving a large amount of resources provided by the corpses of demons every day, making them rich.

It is said that the Sirens boosted the GDP of these two cities.

"When we get to Tokyo, we will definitely go to the War City. We won't go to the one in Osaka. Our main purpose is to cause trouble for their school." Ai Jiangtu said.

"Well, Tokyo's war city is very famous. After all, it is one of the four major ocean battlefields in the world. There is nothing interesting here in Osaka. Let's quickly deal with the national pavilion here, and then go and see the big scene!" Jiang Yu said.

"Are you sure that Tokyo is really spectacular?" Mo Fan asked.

"It's more than spectacular. Do you know how long Tokyo's coastline is? You can see sirens almost every kilometer. Slaves, generals, and commanders can be seen everywhere, and there are a huge number of monsters in the ocean, especially in the Pacific Ocean. There are countless monster tribes, and tribal-level sirens are not uncommon. The most terrifying is the Siren Empire, which is unprecedentedly huge and terrifying. Let's put it this way, these sirens sent to the battlefield are not intended to occupy our human land or anything. They are not interested in land at all. They are just population... Oh, there are too many monsters, so they are simply sent to die. If they can grab human resources, then this group of sirens can live comfortably for some time. If they can't grab it, it doesn't matter. The sirens that reproduce too much will die in battle. This is a disguised way to ensure the density of the monster population, family planning." Jiang Yu was overjoyed when he mentioned monsters.

"That's not right. Newspapers and the media always report that a certain victory was won, a certain vicious and dangerous demon tribe was annihilated, and the ocean became calmer..." Mu Tingying said.

"Haha, come on, you can believe what the media says? Just believe me, the number of sirens is dozens or even hundreds of times that of us humans. If they really like land, then we humans would have become their colonies long ago. The demon empire on land is nothing compared to the demon empire in the ocean!" Jiang Yu said.

"Please don't make us humans sound so weak. If you really said that, we would have been extinct long ago."

"The ocean is larger than the land, and there are sirens from the sea surface to the bottom of the sea...you can think about it yourself." Lin Ran said.

“I don’t know why, but I’m a little excited now.” Mo Fan said.

"You are sick."

"Do you think I learn magic just to sit down with the monsters and have a nice chat with them over a cup of tea? Wrong, I learn magic just to beat them to a pulp!"

“Haha, you are quite good at boasting. I hope you won’t be so scared by the big scene that you wet your pants. Don’t even talk about nice things then. Even if I ask you to be the devil’s cow, horse, or son, you will be willing.” Guan Yu poured cold water on Mo Fan at this time.

Mo Fan laughed out loud when he heard Guan Yu's words.

How could he not have seen such a big scene? Telling him about it might scare Guan Yu to death.

"Hmm~, I'm so sleepy." Lin Ran leaned his head on Mu Nujiao's shoulder. He was sitting between Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao. He had just leaned on Mu Ningxue's shoulder, but was pushed away. Then he leaned on Mu Nujiao's shoulder.

"Osaka is almost here!" Jiang Shaoxu was not very interested in killing sea monsters. She was excited about eating and shopping.

She often comes to the island country, so she has also learned to speak fluent island language. Every time she speaks authentic island language and looks charming, it always makes people want to get seeds.

"I'll take you to eat delicious food later!" Jiang Shaoxu had no intention of taking a rest, and he took the girls' arms and headed for the food paradise.

The girls in the team seemed to be all foodies. When it came to food, they instantly forgot that they came to Osaka to challenge the club. In the blink of an eye, several girls disappeared at the train station, and they didn't allow the men to follow them, so as not to disturb their romance...

“No way, are they just going to leave the task of challenging the club to us?” Mo Fan couldn’t help but feel bored when he saw the girls leave.

“The National Museum is probably linked to the university. Are you still worried about not having girls in the university?” Zhao Manyan said.

“That’s right. I almost forgot that the three of us are here to sow seeds in the world.” Mo Fan said.

Lin Ran moved his arms and said, "I want them all."

……

Osaka Prefecture is located on two mountains facing each other about seven or eight kilometers from the coastline.

The national pavilion is on the top of the mountain, which is also called the Double Guard Tower. If you look from a distance, it looks like two gray-white castles standing on the mountain. There is also a suspended wooden corridor between the high cliffs between the two sister castles. There is only one mountain road, so to get to a guard tower, they can only go through the aerial corridor!

This double castle tower seems to be very famous both at home and abroad. Zhao Manyan did not expect that the national pavilion would be located here. This also allows them to see the construction art of the island country's castle tower.

"The double eaves of the tower are actually watchtowers. If you look south from here, you can have a panoramic view of Osaka's most intense maritime battlefield, so many military leaders also live here... I never thought that this national pavilion of the island country would be so imposing!" Jiang Yu said with emotion.

After arriving at the West Guard Tower, I felt that the castle-like building was truly magnificent.

Everyone came to the stone wall. Guarding the gate were two magicians wearing island warrior-style robes. When they saw Mo Fan and his group of young people, their eyes became fierce.

"Hey, you are Chinese, right?" A young woman wearing a kimono and holding a flower umbrella asked in a questioning tone.

She used Interlingua so everyone could understand her.

The woman in kimono walked over with small steps. Kimono could well highlight the elegance, intelligence, gentleness and friendliness of island women, but this woman was not very friendly. She suddenly closed the flower umbrella in her hand, then slammed it heavily to the ground, and then pointed at their group of people with one hand.

"How do you know we are Chinese?" Mo Fan was puzzled. Logically speaking, the two peoples don't look much different, and the girl didn't hear them speaking Chinese. Why did she identify them as Chinese? Couldn't they be Koreans?
"It's you tourists from China who never know any etiquette. Didn't you see a sign prohibiting visiting when you were at the foot of the mountain? You can't read!" The woman in kimono leaned sideways with her chest puffed out. The tall wooden clogs made her look very tall, and even the way she looked at everyone else was filled with pride and disdain.

Lin Ran's gaze fell on this woman. This woman made him feel uncomfortable.

“Miss Hua, we are not tourists.” Mo Fan said.

"It's not okay for Chinese who come here to work and pretend to be islanders. Get down the mountain quickly, or I'll throw you down one by one!" said the woman in kimono arrogantly.

Everyone was very unhappy to hear the woman's prejudiced words.

Ai Jiangtu, Guan Yu, Zhou Xu, Zhao Manyan, Zu Jiming and others all frowned. Everyone here was the strongest student selected from various universities. Apart from anything else, they had absolute pride and capital among their peers.

This pretty girl who appeared out of nowhere not only looks down on others, but also clearly looks down on Chinese people. She speaks as if their island country is a holy place and Chinese people love to hang out here!
“Everyone, don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. I’ll talk to her properly.” Seeing that several people lost their tempers faster than himself, Mo Fan hurriedly tried to comfort them.

The kimono-clad woman was furious when she saw that the men were still motionless. She pointed at them and said, "This Soshukaku is a sacred place in Osaka. Don't bring your dirty, filthy air here. Get out of here right now."

"What are you talking about, little bitch? Damn it, believe it or not, I will catch you and throw you into the group of sirens. Don't you island people like tentacle monsters very much?" Lin Ran couldn't help but say. This damn woman was so disgusting.
