A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 43 Fujiyoshiro

Glancing at Samurai Hime on the other side again, Asai Nagamasa felt a little relieved, because although the other party seemed to be going crazy, her green eyes were flickering like a light bulb that was short of electricity. She was very big. Probably putting up a fight.

So the external manifestation is that she was shouting while slashing the air and surrounding trees with her knife, and did not rush towards Asai Nagamasa, so she should still maintain a certain degree of rationality.

As long as you don't get close to her, it shouldn't be considered a danger for the time being, so let her make trouble for now.

However, it’s not okay to just let it go. That cherry blossom tree is too weird.
Asai Nagamasa quietly held the folding fan behind his back, with a faint red light flashing in his hand. At the same time, he looked at Tokichiro on the surface: "Oh, don't you know? I thought you knew her true identity. After all, you are Isn’t that her companion?”

Although the training time was very short, he did not put too much thought into this aspect, but because of the bird's possession, he was still able to use low-level fire spells such as fire bombs.

Although Asai Nagamasa was smiling, Tokichiro's face froze because he saw that one of the other party's hands had touched behind his back.

From his perspective, he couldn't see the specific situation, but he knew that there was a high probability that the opponent's weapons were there, which made him feel a little panic.

In Nibon, the status of farmers is the lowest. A warrior does not need any reason to kill a farmer, and it is not considered a big crime afterwards. Apart from the possibility of slightly offending the farmer's lord, at most It was just a scolding from the superior samurai and some compensation.

What's more, this is a village that was invaded by monsters, and there is no legal basis at all. Even if he is killed here, no one will cry out for him, because no one will know what happened here.

There are already enough corpses in Shisanying Village, and he doesn't want to have one more of his.

What's more, after the other party showed outstanding martial arts and that mysterious power, he didn't want to offend the other party even more, because he always had a strong desire in his heart, if he could also master that kind of power.
"Hey, I'm very sorry, Samurai-sama. Actually, the younger one is not her companion."

After the busy Asai Nagamasa bowed deeply several times as apology, Tokichiro began to tell the whole story.

It turns out that Tokichiro was a farmer from Owari and an ashigaru descendant of the Oda family. In order to make a better life, he chose to become a traveling merchant. He wanted to first accumulate some knowledge and money, and then become a samurai and stand out. .

Things didn't go well at the beginning, and the war-torn Ni Peng was not friendly to a small traveling businessman like him. Whether it was bandits, bandits, or the checkpoints and charging excuses set up by various big names in various names, they all caused him troubles. Big trouble.

But when he obtained a unique gold gem due to some coincidence, things finally turned around and his business began to improve.

Even now, even the former owner of the land of Mino, "Mino Viper" Saito Dozo, has become his biggest guest.

Asai Nagamasa knew that Tokichiro said this deliberately, and he was also vaguely reminding himself not to touch him casually, but he didn't take it seriously, because even if the other party didn't tell him, he didn't plan to kill him now, and he didn't have that right yet. necessary.

He was more interested in why Saito Douzan was so obsessed with acquiring spiritual stones, and even gave Tokichiro some special permissions, just so that Tokichiro could move more conveniently in the Mino area and meet him in person in Mino. Viper.

Although the spirit stone looks like a golden gemstone, if you just look at the appearance, it is actually a little rough, not as beautiful as those real jewelry, and not as dazzling as gold.If it is out of interest, it is normal to buy a few pieces as fresh souvenirs. However, according to Tokichiro, Saito Douzan is purchasing spiritual stones in large quantities and in unlimited quantities.

This has to make Asai Nagamasa suspicious. This Mino viper is definitely not a person who can do useless things. He must have a special purpose. Could it be that, like himself, he has the ability to use the spirit contained in the spirit stone? A special method of force?

This is not impossible. Although Tsurujun Miyabe has been searching for many years and has not been able to find any relevant information about spells, it does not mean that they really do not exist. They are just rarer than they were hundreds of years ago. It's just a lot, and his cheap apprentice may just be just bad luck.

Perhaps, just as he received the inheritance from Abe Seimei, Saito Douzan also received some kind of inheritance by chance, or he is simply the inheritor of an ancient school. This is all possible.

From this point of view, Asai Nagamasa had to go to the other party's retreat in person.

As for the samurai Ji in front of him, or the monster, Fujikichiro only knew something about the other party by accident.

Although the other party has been living alone in a remote forest, her unique pair of blue eyes will never be forgotten after seeing her. In addition, there are rumors that she has killed monsters and is a famous woman. The powerful Hime Samurai, so when something strange happened here in Jusan Sakura Village, Tokichiro was the first to think of him.

So he quietly sent an anonymous letter to the other party, inviting the other party to come to Shisan Ying Village to meet, and then he watched the other party secretly from another entrance of the village, killing demons and demons all the way until the huge cherry blossom tree Then I met this legendary horse-headed ghost.

Next, Asai Nagamasa unexpectedly appeared here and fought with the opponent to kill the horse-headed ghost.

So in fact, Tokichiro is not the opponent's companion. He even dug a hole for the opponent. If he were an ordinary samurai and came here rashly, after encountering the horse-headed ghost and many monsters, if he didn't escape quickly , I am afraid that I will only die here, and there will be no other possibility at all.

While talking, Fujikichiro took out a small piece of gemstone from his arms, offered it with both hands, and handed it to Asai Nagamasa very respectfully, indicating that it was the product he just mentioned.

Taking the golden gemstone with one hand, Asai Nagamasa confirmed his previous guess: the golden gemstone that Fujikichiro called was actually a spiritual stone.

Although the color is a bit dark, the purity is not enough, and the concentration of spiritual energy contained is much lower than what he got from the pig demon before, it is indeed a spiritual stone, and it is a precious resource that can be quickly converted into power.

Being able to sell extremely rare spiritual stones as commodities, and it seems to have been going on for a long time, shows that Tokichiro must have a large inventory of spiritual stones in his hands.

Did this guy discover a spiritual stone treasure somewhere by coincidence, or has he mastered some unique method of finding spiritual stones?

But no matter what, Asai Nagamasa will need Tokichiro. If he can have a sufficient supply of spiritual stones, it will be much easier for him to practice onmyoji or create shikigami.

Especially now, with this spiritual stone, he can do more
