Just when the scabbard was a few inches away from the ground, an invisible hand firmly fixed it in mid-air, and then Muramasa's strong body appeared.
The Swordsmith from Another World: Chapter 71: Coral Palace
As soon as he landed, Muramasa instinctively examined the surrounding environment. There were not many obstacles and the view was very wide.
Before he had time to think too much, Muramasa just felt a gust of bad wind in the distance. He looked up and saw several arrows falling in front of him.
Warning of sexual attack?
Muramasa frowned, noticing a rock-elemental arrow that was shooting towards somewhere else in the distance like a wild goose that had strayed from its flock. It would have been missed if he hadn't been careful.
Based on his usual experience, it was probably related to the central signal.
After sending this signal, as long as he does not make any suspicious moves, he will usually not be attacked immediately by the other party.
"It seems these guys aren't just some scattered soldiers..."
Muramasa remained motionless, his gaze continuing to scan the various parts of Kaigi Island. What caught his attention most was, of course, the bubbles rising high into the sky in the distance.
The bubbles emitted a wonderful glow, but that glow did not seem to come from sunlight.
"Um……"
Originally, he was just admiring the bubbles, but his eyes with super long-range vision keenly captured a tiny bubble rising rapidly below. After this small bubble collided with a large bubble, the color above it changed slightly.
While he was thinking, a seemingly ordinary soldier rushed out from under the cliff and walked to the front of the village with a strange expression:
"Master Coral Palace invites you."
……
Continue down the path, passing through an area that looks like a forest made of giant corals, and arrive at a palace that is very different in style from Narujin Taisha Shrine.
Compared to the towering shrine over there, this one is obviously at a lower altitude. It is better to say that it is almost at the mirror image of Narujin Taisha at sea level.
In front of the palace gate, a young girl was standing quietly waiting. She had long hair that faded from pink to blue-purple, and under her neat bangs was a slightly childish, chubby face.
Wearing a mermaid-like, cut-sleeved miko costume, dragging two light ribbons, she slowly walked towards the swordsmith she was visiting:
"Welcome, Mr. Chiko Muramasa.
The present human-god priestess, the Coral Palace Heart Sea, has been waiting here for a long time."
The one who spoke was the current supreme ruler of Coral Palace, Coral Palace Xinhai.
"Oh, you actually recognized me?"
Thinking that the other party knew it was him without even looking at him, Muramasa asked casually.
Or have they already mastered the means to transmit large amounts of information?
"You're joking."
She had a peaceful and gentle smile on her face as she slowly explained her deduction:
"It's just that I anticipated your arrival, so the night surveillance and patrols have always been left to Goro."
That dog general? No wonder he was able to detect that it was me...
I'm afraid the attached rock element is the special signal they customized.
Muramasa suddenly realized something and asked another question on his mind:
"Why did you know I was coming? This should have been decided in the past few days."
From visiting Kamisato's family, to greeting Tenryo Bugyo, and simply searching in a place without war, no one else should have known about it.
"We can discuss this in detail," Xin Hai said without rushing to answer. Instead, he smiled and said, "Besides, since we're here, why don't you come in and sit down?"
"That's not necessary."
Muramasa declined the other party's kindness for the time being, "I have urgent matters to attend to here."
Xin Hai was slightly surprised by this, but then he understood:
"I'm sorry, I thought you were here for the Society's business."
really……
The first thing this little girl did after meeting me was to come into my house and have a detailed conversation. I'm afraid she thought I was the middleman between the community official and Kaigi Island.
I'm afraid the two sides have already intended to contact each other privately, but the ordinary routes have become battlefields, and the ordinary people below have long been resentful of the Thunder God believers on Mingshen Island.
Therefore, I, an outsider who had forged swords for them and "voluntarily" reduced the price, had a dependent who guaranteed me freedom of travel, and was very powerful, was probably the most suitable candidate.
Of course, this "guarantee by family members" was probably added out of necessity at the time and was based on the principle of making the best use of resources.
"I don't know how that guy would have gotten me here without the Fatui..."
Muramasa silently complained about the blue-haired girl, then said to the girl:
"Anyway, I'm going to patrol this area a few times and look for some weird guy who wants my head."
"Have you seen any strange guys coming and going recently?"
Since he was already here, he thought he might as well ask a question, so Muramasa decided to ask the locals as well.
"Since the war began, no one has come in or out except you."
Seeing that he asked about it, Xinhai also recalled it.
Although she has been staying in the house recently, she has to take care of almost all the affairs on the island.
That would be troublesome...
Village said to himself.
He had already conducted a simple search on Ba Niang Island. If there was nothing here, did he really have to search in those places where wars were still raging?
The danger is secondary. The main problem is that if there are any strange buildings in the area where the battle is still going on, they should have been discovered long ago.
Or does it mean that this group of people simply don't need a place to stay and are free to travel anywhere?
Just as Muramasa was secretly worried, Xinhai remembered something:
"However, before the battle began, there was indeed a fellow Tianling Fengxing who came here."
"However, we couldn't tell whether he was fleeing or had other motives, so we let him stay temporarily in the village."
It is called "temporary residence", but it actually means house arrest.
"If the purpose is just to escape from the Eye Hunting Order, then asking this guy won't be of any use, right?"
Muramasa didn't think he could learn anything from a fellow refugee.
"In fact, he said in the first few days after he arrived that he was here to investigate someone."
Xinhai shook his head and corrected some details:
"It's just that the war was imminent at that time, and I thought the information he was telling me, whether true or false, would not be helpful to the current situation, so I never asked him in detail."
Investigation? The time doesn't match... 9 (7) li u jiu yi ba sulphur...
Muramasa pondered this, but considering that if it was related to the organization itself, it wouldn't be surprising to have a long-term base.
But judging from their apparent identities, they should also have a base in Inazuma City, so if it is really them, then the reason behind this is worth further investigation.
"Take me to have a look."
Chapter 72: Preparation of Skirmishers (Kiritsugu: Child, you have learned it on your own)
Xinhai guided Muramasa to a house on Kaigi Island, which was the residence where the fellow was imprisoned.
"Lord Xinhai."
"Lord Xinhai!"
When the two guards who were imprisoned at the gate of Tongxin saw Xinhai, their faces suddenly showed different expressions, which was enough to show the popularity of this girl.
As for Muramasa beside her, one of them had a look of envy in his eyes, while the other had a look of... hostility? Given his younger age, the reason was self-evident.
But Muramasa was too lazy to bother with such a kid, so he walked straight in after the two of them let him pass.
"Oh my~ After so many days, this is the first time someone comes to see me."
Inside the room was a young boy with neatly styled dark red hair. The moment he saw Muramasa, he spoke:
"Hmm... it doesn't look like the Tianling Bugyo, it seems the battle isn't over yet?"
"If my guess is correct, you came to me probably to ask why I came here."
When we first met, the young man seemed to have lost control of himself and began to talk a lot.
"What a sharp-tongued little fellow~"
At least Muramasa could tell that this guy definitely wasn't just some random person.
"You guessed right, this is exactly why I came here."
"I really want you to sit for a while, but you smell like you're in trouble~"
His eyes wandered over Muramasa, as if he had been holding back for a long time:
"So, let me talk to you first, okay? I've been stuck here for so many days, and I'm almost bored to death!"
"Let's talk a little bit more next time~"
Shouldn't the normal way be to keep things short?
Muramasa couldn't help but complain in his heart, but seeing that he looked confident and assured that he would be satisfied, he didn't correct him.
Just think of it as a rebate for loan information.
……
In the Fatui stronghold
The skirmisher was sitting on a high place, his hands folded across his chest, watching the fighters below transforming this stronghold which was originally used as an evil eye factory.
He connected a green terminal to his ear and simulated the swordsmith's combat data over and over again.
Part of this data was extracted from the original evil eye, and the other part was from the "meteorite" that was later given to Tianling Fengxing.
Unlike the Evil Eye, which can only store and retrieve data at a fixed time, after obtaining the first piece of Muramasa's data, the "doctor" further modified the meteorite fragments.
Therefore, all the battles between Muramasa and those Tenryo Bugyo were included in it.
Thanks to the opponent's reluctance to attack, his dodging methods and body movement techniques were all recorded during the battle.
"As long as he is killed..."
The soldier had a twisted smile on his face, and his wide eyes were filled with an emotion that had been missing for a hundred years.
Since you've abandoned me, since you've discarded me as useless, since you've betrayed me—
Then I will prove how wrong you are!
As long as he kills the swordsmith, he can seize that opportunity, the opportunity to ascend to the throne of god.
The empty chest seemed to beat because of this, and the rapidly changing emotions made his mind a little hazy.
"Do you feel this feeling? This feeling that has never been fulfilled since those years?"
"My name is the collapse of the country"
"Because of that boring name, my revenge was never fully accomplished, leaving me with regrets for so many years..."
"Now, with all your efforts, you can finally complete it."
"Although the swordsmith's physical fitness is almost equal to mine, as long as he is fully prepared, he will not be able to defeat me."
For this victory, he brought almost everything he had acquired over the years, and even regretted why he had not collected more devices that could make him stronger over the years.
Dozens of invisible and odorless poison-releasing devices had been brought in, as well as all the Fatui squads and elite teams he could mobilize.
In addition, there is his own evil eye, and even three elemental force cores developed by the "Doctor", which he also installed in various places in this base.
"Move quickly!"
He urged the Betrayals below, looking down at them as they worked beneath him.
There are a large number of combat equipment and auxiliary elemental force barriers. As long as he dares to step in here, he will never come back.
Even if his physical fitness was at the same level as mine, after so much wear and tear, the remaining physical strength would definitely not be his match.
