"..."

Ok.

Although Eri wanted to say that she was calling Minamoto Chisei.

But... this seems not bad?

"Susanoo."

Uesugi Eri continued:

"He is Susanoo!"

Chapter 210: Brother, you don’t want anything to happen to the Eight Snake Families, right?

Susanoo no Mikoto.

In Japanese mythology, she is the main deity revered alongside Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.

As one of the Three Noble Sons, he is a symbol of the ocean.

But unlike the other two gods, the experience of Susanoo... can be said to be not very glorious.

"Submission and then rebellion", "fickle" - this is the true portrayal of Susanoo in mythology.

He was once an enemy of Amaterasu, who commanded Takama-ga-hara. Later, he reconciled with Amaterasu for some reasons, and then rebelled against Takama-ga-hara again because of some trivial matters.

To be frank, the image of Susanoo in mythology is actually not very glorious.

"But even so, he is still Susanoo."

"He is also Amaterasu's biological brother."

Eri said with certainty.

She didn't have much common sense about modern society in her little head, but when it came to the subject of these mythological stories, she could talk about them very clearly.

"And if I remember correctly... Brother, you are the Amaterasu of the Snake Eight Clan, right?"

The little witch raised her head and looked at Gen Chisei's face which was beginning to hesitate again, and asked in one go.

She actually hadn't asked another question, but Yuan Zhisheng knew what she really wanted to express.

"Yes, I am Amaterasu of the Snake Eight Clan."

"You are Tsukuyomi of the Snake Eight Clan."

This is a widely known fact, even recognized by the entire Sheqi Eight Clans.

——The top three of the Snake Eight Families should correspond to the mythological "Amaterasu-no-Mikoto", "Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto", and "Susanoo-no-Mikoto" respectively.

At the same time, they should also be in charge of "Takama-ga-hara (Executive Bureau)", "Yo no Sukuhara (Forbidden Zone)," and "Umihara (Fierce Demons?)" respectively.

Only in this way can the power of the Eight Snake Families, or the entire White King's bloodline, be complete and able to fight against the mixed-blood organizations from the outside world.

However, Susanoo was still not found.

Among the three upper families, Tachibana Masamune was a remarkable figure. He reorganized the Snake Eight Families during the most chaotic times and prevented this huge organization from falling apart... But after all, he was not the "Susanoo-no-Mikoto" that the Snake Eight Families were expecting.

In other words, it was he who forcibly created the conflict, which resulted in Susanoo's delay in returning to the Snake Eight Families.

"But now, he's back."

"Our Susanoo no Mikoto."

"If we tell this news to the other family heads, they will definitely be very happy, right?"

The little witch raised her head and spoke in a tone that seemed a little naive, but actually very meaningful.

——These are not words that should come out of her mouth.

This little witch who doesn't even care about herself and only plays her handheld game console during family meetings, when will she care about what the heads of the families think?

——But this seems to be the words that should come out of her mouth.

This girl named Uesugi Erie really doesn't care about herself, let alone those family heads. But she cares about Minamoto no Chisei - the brother who always tries to be with her, the "Ultraman of Justice" who will kill her one day.

She knew Yuan Zhisheng's feelings and even more so, her true thoughts.

He didn't want to let Minamoto no Chikara die, but because of what she had done before, he had to let her die.

Unless an excuse can be found, an excuse that can suppress his "justice" and prevent him from continuing to wield the knife.

"For the future of our Eight Snake Families" is such an excuse.

A very vague excuse.

But for Yuan Zhisheng, who has become the "head of the family" of the Eight Snake Families, this excuse is also very useful.

"Brother, you don't want the finally stabilized Snake Eight Clan to fall apart again because of killing Susanoo, right?"

"..."

When these words came out of the little shrine maiden's mouth, Genji finally put down the Spider Cut in his hand.

Then, he gave the little witch a slash of the hand through the gap in the iron gate.

"Don't talk to your brother in that tone."

……

In the end, Gen Chisei accepted Eri's advice.

Although on the surface, he still seemed very "difficult".

——But isn’t this also a reappearance of the “reconciliation between Amaterasu and Susanoo-no-Mikoto” in the mythological story?

"In short, generally speaking, I can accept you on behalf of the Eight Snake Clans."

"But for the specific details, I still need to hold a family meeting."

"And more importantly—we need evidence. Tachibana Masamune is the proof that you are the 'King General'."

Gen Chisheng stared into Gen Chinu's eyes and spoke very forcefully.

He was pretending to be heartless.

And Minamoto no Chitose simply threw him a bunch of keys.

"Water Storage Well No. 13, codenamed Red Well, is located in the mountains of Tamagawa City."

"You can go there and take a look."

"Or, with your strength, it wouldn't be a big problem to just blow the place upside down."

"Just be careful, there are some very dangerous things buried there."

A friendly warning.

Or is it a trap?

Yuan Zhisheng thought about it, nodded, and then returned the key to Yuan Zhinu.

"Let's go together."

He said.

He was worried about Minamoto no Chitose—and even more worried about letting Minamoto no Chitose and Eri stay together.

.....0 .......

So, he decided to personally supervise this younger brother who he didn't know whether he was a human or a ghost.

As for Eri...

"Go back first and get some sleep."

Looking at the little witch's expectant look, which said "I want to go out and play too", Yuan Zhisheng shook his head.

At the same time, he raised his head and nodded obscurely to Morgan who was standing at the edge of the second-floor window.

That's fine.

Just let Eri stay here.

Those dangerous things...will be handled by him!

……

Minamoto no Chisei and Minamoto no Chijo left at the same time.

The target is Tamagawa City, the No. 13 water storage well code-named Red Well.

Eri was a little disappointed—but not that disappointed.

She seemed to have gotten used to this brother who was always busy and never took her out to play.

"I am back."

She returned to the villa and opened the door of the study on the second floor.

Morgan was sitting at the desk, holding a piece of manuscript paper, writing and drawing something.

On her desk, there was another laptop computer, displaying the design drawings of Well No. 13 - this was what she had just asked Yuan Zhisheng for.

Morgan frowned as he looked at the drawing.

She looked at the drawing in her hand and then at the drawing on the computer.

Those are two completely different designs.

One is a [big tomb] and the other is a [well].

But in essence, they are exactly the same.

"This is……"

"The entrance to the altar?"

Chapter 211 This is the way a true dragon handles problems

【altar】.

It is a place to worship gods and pray for protection.

Throughout the ages, no matter which country or ethnic group, "altar" has always been an important part of their culture.

Although the forms of expression are different, the purposes they want to achieve are also different.

But there is only one most important "core" that is preserved in the altars of all nations, and it has never changed even after thousands of years of evolution.

【sacrifice】.

"In the process of countless sacrifices, a mysterious one-to-one correspondence gradually established between the sacrifices, including various parts of the human body, and the natural gods (all things in nature) to whom they were dedicated."

Morgan closed his eyes and reproduced the structural diagram of the red well in his mind.

She became more and more certain that it was an altar.

The ancient altar, whose existence was unknown for how long, was hidden by some people with ulterior motives using the appearance of a "well".

As for the gods enshrined in the altar... Morgan didn't know, but she knows now.

[Amaterasu's destiny], [Susano's destiny].

She is not very familiar with Japan's mythology system.

But she still knew the names of these two most basic gods.

And now, two of the three noble sons went to the altar together.

——The god enshrined in the altar and the ultimate purpose of the person hiding behind the scenes became clear.

"Sacrificing the Son of God?"

"Or... retreat to advance?"

Morgan looked at the little witch who was sitting next to her, pretending to be well-behaved, but her rose-red eyes were rolling around.
