Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1464 1436. Thirteen Sakura Village

I don’t know the reason or where it came from, but since I came to this world, an invisible force has automatically entangled the three of them.

Although Lan En did not feel the malice of this force through [Body Light].

But for the sake of caution, he still wanted to find locals, or the information of this world to see what this force is.

If this is some kind of "self-defense mechanism" of this world, it can be dealt with earlier.

With the idea of ​​solving doubts and hidden dangers, Lan En rode the Qilin down from the cliff and changed direction to approach the village from the main gate.

From the high-speed movement of the Qilin, Lan En has almost known the general layout of this village.

This should indeed be a period similar to ancient Japan.

The reason why I say "almost" is because Lan En has clearly discovered that there are supernatural powers in this world, so he only regards it as a world with similar development to some cultural backgrounds of his hometown world.

The deepest part of this village is undoubtedly the huge cherry tree they saw when they just came out of the celestial sphere intersection crack.

Shintoism, as the native religion of Japan, believes in "animism".

That is, mountains, rivers, and even man-made objects that have been used for a long time have their own spirituality and power. Therefore, it is normal for a huge evergreen cherry tree to be worshipped.

Outside the courtyard where the evergreen cherry tree is located, there is a small shrine in the side hall, which should also be the residence of people of status such as the village chief and the priest.

The village is not big, but there are unexpectedly many people, and it is quite lively.

Lan En guessed that it should be related to the livelihood of this village.

The back half of the village is a large tomb group, which should be about the same size as the residential area. It can be seen that this village has existed peacefully for a long time.

Otherwise, such a large cemetery would not be accumulated.

Could it be that this is a relatively stable era?

Lan En thought irrationally.

Although it is clear that there are extraordinary powers in this world, Lan En does not know the clear manifestation of extraordinary powers.

Therefore, in order to prevent scaring others, he asked the fluff ball and the Kirin to wait in the distance, and he went to the village alone.

The loess road, thanks to the fact that it has not rained recently, is not covered with yellow mud.

Lan En walked while mumbling the Japanese 50 sounds that he had learned in Ashina.

"They should be speaking Japanese, right? Should they?"

They were indeed speaking Japanese.

When there was still a short distance from the village gate, Lan En had already heard a few people talking at the gate.

"Oh! It's Master Zendabo! Are you here to take care of business again?"

"Ah, who doesn't want food these days? I have almost 100 taels of rice, and the car is not enough. I want to see if you have any idle cars here that can be dispatched."

"Your business is really getting bigger and bigger."

The two gatekeepers should be the village defense team, and the other is a traveling merchant.

Behind him were two wooden carts pulled by horses. The carts were piled high. Although they could barely move, they were slow and dangerous. They had to spare some to load another cart.

The so-called "taro" is a cylindrical container made of straw and hemp rope, used to store and transport grain.

The size is not standardized and has nothing to do with accuracy. It is just used as a measure word in this person's mouth.

"Hehe, I heard that the carriage is gone." The gatekeeper said in a joking tone, "Do you want a bullock cart, Master Zendabo?"

The two gatekeepers were only wearing a shirt, single trousers on their legs, leggings tied with cloth strips on their calves, and straw sandals with three-fortune buckles on their feet.

They wore a forehead guard with iron plates on their foreheads, and a simple armor with more scattered iron plates on their upper bodies.

While chatting and laughing with the merchant, the two legs in single trousers rubbed against each other. The two feet in the straw sandals were not wearing socks, and they looked like they were rubbing mud.

The weather in this area is not bad, and the temperature is not too low even in January and February. But it is impossible to say that this outfit is not cold.

Even if you are a native villager, you will subconsciously rub your body to keep warm.

"Don't joke with me." Shan Tianfang waved his hand, as if he was very disgusted, "Ox carts are only affordable for the rich. I use it to transport goods? Don't I make money?"

"Hey!" The gatekeeper hugged the spear in his arms and said, "In our Shisanying Village, the ox carts and horse carriages of caravans from all over the country can be easily kept strong and not lose weight! You know it, so ox carts are cheaper than other places."

The gatekeeper next to him laughed and said, "How about it? Try it! You, a businessman, can ride an ox cart, just like a rich man! Just think of it as a style!"

The most feared thing for working animals is losing weight.

For people who rely on farming for a living, if they have a cow, the cow will lose weight much more seriously than themselves.

Those who lend out cattle as a means of lending money will have to trouble the lender if the cattle lose weight.

So in the Thirteen Sakura Village, if the working horses and cattle are really less likely to lose weight than in other places, they can indeed be cheaper than in other places.

Shan Tianfang was a little tempted, mainly because of the phrase "like a noble person", which made him feel very excited.

But before he could show his emotion, he suddenly saw the two guards of the Thirteen Sakura Village in front of him suddenly tense.

The spears that were originally lazily held in their arms were hurriedly held in their hands, and they assumed a fighting posture with the spear pointed outward.

"What? What happened?"

Shantianfang didn't even turn his head. He quickly bent down and jumped between the two gatekeepers, asking questions quickly.

In comparison, the drivers on the two carriages behind him were much slower. After a full three or four seconds, they rolled off the carriage in a hurry and ran toward the village while crawling.

"Monster?!"

A soldier guarding the gate trembled.

"In broad daylight?" Another guard guard's voice trembled even more, "Are there just monsters here?"

Seeing a figure in the distance is not something worth paying attention to.

But the key is that they have been guarding the village gate for a long time. Looking at the scene outside the village gate every day, they have established a frame of reference in their hearts.

Like that big rock.

When an ordinary person passes by a stone, if the top of his head is level with the stone, he is considered quite tall.

And what about that figure? !

The stone can barely reach his chest!

After comparing the size of the blurry and unremarkable figure in the distance, a feeling of horror and horror immediately hit my heart.

That's probably not a person!

"Kikuchi-sama, are you in the village today?"

"Yes, that's right! Professor Kikuchi didn't go out today!" The guard guard's voice suddenly became more calm, "We can ring the bell and ask Professor to come over! He is a powerful warrior who can eradicate the eternal world!"

A bell rang, and the whole village suddenly became more noisy.

The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to 69书吧 to read it!

Lan En, who was slowly approaching, frowned. On the surface, the village seemed quite stable, but was it actually so easily frightened?

This is not normal.

But in order to show that he was not hostile, Lan En only took a few steps closer after the bell rang, and then stopped.

It took a while before a small group of people came out of the village gate. They were all dressed like gatekeepers, holding long guns or knives.

Among the group of people, a conspicuous man with a shaved Tsukiyo head put his hand on the scabbard and looked around for a while, then slowly approached Lan En with some doubts and hesitation.

And the closer he got, the more the doubts and hesitations in the man's eyes turned into a confusion of 'What the hell is going on?'

When the man stood completely in front of Lan En, the man who had just pressed the handle of the knife and looked ready to fight, now no longer had the unhesitating killing intent in his expression.

On the contrary, it is closer to the embarrassment of "This person won't trouble me."

The changes in the two emotions were very obvious in Lan En's eyes.

After all, the first reaction of the former is to start fighting, while the first reaction of the latter is to negotiate.

"This... uh, sir?"

He seemed a little unsure of how to address Lan En, so he looked the witcher up and down vaguely while hesitantly speaking tentatively.

"I wonder who you are...?"

Daisuke Kikuchi really felt at a loss, he had never seen this person before!

Lan En is 2.5 meters tall and has a perfect physique to go with it. To be honest, I have never seen Daisuke Kikuchi even on the statue of Nio outside the Buddhist temple!

As for the living person in front of him, his skin is tender and fair, and it goes without saying that he is a noble person from a good background.

His face was so handsome that it was almost eerie. If he hadn't been approaching from a distance just now and slowly saw this face clearly, Daisuke Kikuchi might have been stunned.

The armor on his body is thick, and although the shape is novel and a bit ferocious, Daisuke Kikuchi is not an inexperienced person.

Rather than the shape of the armor, he was more concerned about how much it would cost. And what kind of status and background does so much money represent?

"You don't have to call me 'my lord', there is no affiliation between us. I'm here, Lan En."

"Your full name is 'Lan En'?" Daisuke Kikuchi blinked and seemed to think hard, "Are you from the Ming Dynasty?"

Japanese civilians don't have surnames, but no matter how he looked at Lan En, with his temperament and demeanor, it was impossible for him to be a mud-legged person without a name.

The witcher also blinked, then nodded mechanically.

Is the opposite side of the sea here also called the Ming Kingdom?

"Yeah! He is from the Ming Dynasty. He learned his skills from the Nanbarians and the local people."

As he spoke, Lan En's lips showed a smile mixed with memories.

He still remembered how he introduced himself to Ashina when he first came to Ashina.

And when he looked at the samurai who came from the village, the sword and clothing he wore were similar to those of the people in Ashina Kingdom back then.

The shape of clothes and weapons can reflect the times from the side.

Daisuke Kikuchi was a little dazed by that smile at first, and then after hearing Lan En's self-introduction, he was even more stunned than his brain could handle.

I can understand a few words, but when put together, what kind of hodgepodge is this?

Daisuke Kikuchi felt the same emotion in his heart as everyone else in Ashina Country once did.

But no matter what, the person in front of me should not be a monster.

Daisuke Kikuchi can only make the most superficial judgment at the moment.

Because after getting close to Lan En, he didn't have the uncomfortable feeling of coming into contact with monsters.

Although he has only faced one or two hungry ghosts, there is no doubt that he is already the most knowledgeable person in Shisanying Village. Still a samurai!

"This is Daisuke Kikuchi!"

He bowed and saluted with great momentum while shouting.

"Ten is a samurai under the command of His Highness Ando Morinari, the Lord of Iwamura Castle, and is also the instructor of the Thirteenth Sakuramura."
