Chapter 436 An Opportunity That Must Be Seized

When the sun fell slowly again, the whole city gradually sank into twilight again.

But the collective excitement of the people in the city still hasn't been well cooled, at least most of the people in the shock haven't been able to calm down and think about it.

But they no longer need to rely on behaviors such as yelling and hissing to vent their passion, excitement, shock, panic, etc....

After all, it was as if the whole city was in a carnival before, thunderous cheers roared.

As for incidents such as smashing, looting and stampede, they did not happen. After all, this time is not the modern time and space.

Therefore, the concept of protecting human rights has not been born, and the law will not be so stupid that it tends to protect the perpetrators.Therefore, everyone has a heart of awe, so naturally they will not unscrupulously feel that they are the king of heaven——

You know, now even samurai are not allowed to kill civilians in the streets.If ordinary people cause malicious injury accidents, they will probably only be killed by the golem guards on the spot, and their lives will end up with their lives.

But in a sense, this is the embodiment of real fairness and justice.

The electric lights on both sides of the road were finally turned on, dispelling the darkness of the night, and the city was lit up one after another amidst the roar of steam power, turning into a city that never sleeps.

"Has it been established that what happened last night is true?"

Walking on the street at night, the girl with fairer skin than snow whispered to another girl who was following behind her.

As one of the strongest Hime daimyos, praised as the incarnation of the military god and Bishamonten, the "Dragon of Echigo" Uesugi Kenshin will not easily believe in something that is simply absurd to her. Because hearing is not believing, seeing is not necessarily believing.

Naoe Kanetsugu looked a little listless, and the faint dark circles under her eyes seemed to show that she hadn't closed her eyes since last night, she sighed and said——

"Your Highness Qianxin, it is basically certain that it is true. After all, the whole city is flying. And those priests and witches have indeed mastered... well, it is said that it is the power of divine arts."

"Divine art?" Uesugi Kenshin's voice was a little puzzled.

"Yes, it is said that it is based on the deep belief in the caster's heart and the absolute loyalty and dedication to the god he believes in. The gods bestow the power to cause miracles, but it seems that there is a limit on the number of times."

Naoe Kanatsugu looked around quickly, then lowered his voice and said, with a mysterious look.

"It's just that basically what's shown is healing and recovery. Although it's not exaggerated to bring back life and rejuvenate, no matter what the injury is, as long as there is still a breath, it can be saved."

"..."

"..."

Uesugi Kenshin pondered for a moment, and then shook his head: "The power shown is healing and recovery, which doesn't mean that there are no offensive magic spells, maybe it's just that there is no need to use that destructive power at the moment."

She saw it quite thoroughly, and then asked: "Since you can confirm this, does it mean that the temple is open in this regard?"

"Yes, it is said that in order to promote the better development of the church, the temple has specifically opened up the services of divine arts. Anyone can walk in and apply for divine arts from priests or witches, such as healing injuries, restoring broken Limbs or something..."

The girl gritted her teeth lightly, as if she didn't want to admit it.

"The recipient of the spell needs to pay a variable amount of money according to the magic service they apply for. If they really don't have any money, they need to work for the church for a period of time to pay for it... Hmph, it's obviously a holy religion, but it's actually a sacred religion. Into the eyes of money."

The naive and innocent she snorted coldly, as if she was very contemptuous of the practice of the temple. Since it is a holy church, shouldn't it be unconditional to help the world and save the people?

"No, I think it's reasonable."

Uesugi Kenshin glanced at her lightly, but expressed a different opinion, "People are greedy, if you blindly give favors without asking for anything in return, after the habit becomes natural, the beneficiary will only feel that this is Of course..."

Having said that, she stopped, looked back slightly at Kanetsugu Naoe, and didn't continue talking.Because too much is too much, and this kind of thing needs to be understood by oneself.

It is a typical thinking of the weak to hope that there is no cost, and it is best to get a good thing for free.

There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but if it continues, it will gradually become the thinking inertia of I am poor but I am justified, I am weak and I am righteous.In their world, there is only demand, no gratitude.If you don't take advantage of me, it's your fault.

Moreover, it would be ridiculous if you still think like this when you are facing a high-ranking god.

Because in their cognition, gods are not the highest among supernatural bodies, they are higher than the laws of nature and dominate the material world.It is their servants, nannies, who take it for granted to serve them.

In Uesugi Kenshin's view, after Naoe Kanetsugu confirmed the existence of gods, it seemed that there were such trends and signs in his subconscious mind.

This is actually a bit dangerous. Even if you don't believe in it, you should at least stay away from it, and you shouldn't criticize it.After all, it is a stupid mistake to regulate the gods with humanity. Even Brother Ah San would not be so stupid as to announce sanctions against the United States.

Uesugi Kenshin sighed slightly in his heart, then looked forward, and stopped talking——

The street in front of it stretched all the way, and suddenly stopped a hundred meters away, and a sudden fault appeared.

Both the road and the buildings on both sides disappeared at the same time, but there was no edge of the city, but a cut off district boundary.

On the far side, there is another floating urban area, and you can see the wilderness of the land below and the faint clouds.

Five interconnected urban areas are suspended above the clouds, and at a higher level, there are some buildings with their foundations floating in midair like suspended mountains, like satellites according to specific rules. Generally wandering back and forth between the five urban areas.

Seeing this scene, the girl with silver hair and snow skin unconsciously felt a little bit of wonder in her heart.

Of course she didn't know what "Alice in Wonderland" was, but the feeling of suddenly breaking into a completely fantasy world was similar.

The empty track erected above the city seems to exist just for such a situation. If it is not possible, there are also floating airships. It is very simple to travel between urban areas, and the fee that needs to be paid each time is not high.

It's just that ordinary common people are careful about their budgets and will not waste the money if it is not necessary.

Therefore, there are not many people queuing up to use the empty rail train on the platform not far away, and a steam floating airship not far away is also approaching.

"Don't wait, let's take this opportunity, let's go directly to the central city and start action!"

Gritting his silver teeth slightly, Uesugi Kenshin made a decision.

She knew that this line of work would be very dangerous, and she could know how many powerful breaths there were in the temple of the gods in the central area through breath perception. Those should be priests who were bestowed with magic by the gods.

She wouldn't worry about one or two, but there are more than a hundred clergymen who have mastered unknown magic powers, but they are very dangerous. If she is not careful, she may have to fall here herself.

The best way is actually to wait until the number of clergymen is reduced to a normal level before acting - after all, it is not normal for a city to have more than three figures of priests and witches.

The ceremony has already passed, and then those priests will be dispatched to various shrines in Suruga, Enjiang, Mikawa and other places to preside over the cause of faith.It is impossible to detain them all in Junfu City, which is undoubtedly a waste of talents.

However, Uesugi Kenshin is unwilling to wait, because things will change if they are delayed. Although things may get better if they continue to drag on, they are more likely to get worse.

In fact, she suspects that the city is now flying towards the location of Yoshimoto Imakawa, just because the heavy floating city is not fast, and there is still a long distance for the time being.

Therefore, when Imagawa Yoshimoto returns, the situation will only become more difficult and will not improve.

She doesn't know how miraculous the magical power is, but there is no need to question the horror of the Lord Imagawa, but fortunately, there are people from other forces in this city, so don't worry about her Echigo facing it alone after the incident The anger of the Imagawa family.

……

……

Coincidentally, there are also other people who have made up their minds and made up their minds——

"We must hurry up and escape from this place as soon as we succeed in one blow. Mr. Xincheng, you should remember what I told you, right?"

On the empty track, in the carriage of a steam train that was slowly moving towards other areas, Niwa Nagahide explained to Tsuda Nobusumi seriously, with an unprecedentedly serious tone, as if he was about to go to the battlefield.

The other maids and guards who pretended to be merchants didn't say a word, but just listened.

There were a few other people in the carriage, but at this moment, they all fell to the ground and passed out. They didn't even know what happened, so they were brought down.

"I know, find the right time to cause turmoil, and then see the opportunity to control a floating airship, and leave the city immediately after you succeed."

The delicate young man seemed to be trembling with nervousness, but his speech was clear and fluent, as if he was afraid of the next thing from the bottom of his heart, but he also had firm confidence to do this well.

"Don't be too nervous, Nobusumi-sama, take it easy..."

Niwa Chohide showed a charming smile and said comfortingly, "Follow the established plan and steps, nothing will go wrong, and as long as you stay here and have guards to take care of you, you won't be involved in those things." in an accident."

"I, I'm not afraid of this... I'm just a little afraid of heights."

Tsuda Nobusumi twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a smile uglier than crying, and said tremblingly.

"..."

"..."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly at the same time, as if they had thought of something after the young man's reminder. They are now at least a thousand meters above the ground, and there is nothing under the carriage, only the two steel empty rail cranes above. with.

Such a scene is simply a nightmare, just thinking about it makes people feel weak in the legs and neck.

"Hmm! Everyone cheer up and don't delay the opportunity. If my prediction is correct, there will definitely be other people doing the same thing tonight, which will naturally greatly reduce our pressure."

The blue-haired and blue-eyed girl also gritted her teeth, trying her best not to think too much about it. After all, no matter how strong a person is, she is still a human being. It will fall all over the place.

That's right, this world has not yet developed the "Navy Six Styles", and naturally there will be no skills such as "Moon Steps" that can walk in the air.

It's just that none of this can change Niwa Changhide's determination. She also judged that this is the best opportunity to make a move. If she doesn't seize this opportunity, then Owari will really have no chance to turn around in the future.

And the most important thing is that in the miracle last night, the decree sent by the gods seems not to appoint someone, but to give conditions, and everyone can fight for it...

Imakawa Yoshimoto left Junfu City at such a critical moment, even if she herself didn't know that such a thing would happen, this is also a clear proof.
