Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1479 1151. Legends and Knowledge

I don’t know where Takenaka Hanbei is now, and how far he is from Iwamura Castle.

But at least he can’t make it today.

After eating, Lan En and Wuming talked about the information about the guardian spirit [Zencha] on the flannel ball, and then they took a rest.

According to Wuming, [Zencha] is actually a harmless little monster.

However, in the routine operation of Japanese Shintoism, the identity division of monsters, evil spirits, gods and Buddhas can be transformed frequently.

Monsters and evil spirits can be enshrined as gods and Buddhas through rituals and long-term worship. If gods and Buddhas send down their incarnations that represent malice or evil in legends, they will also be regarded as monsters and attacked.

So although Wuming has never seen or even heard of the existence of the guardian spirit [Zencha], when she saw the strange phenomenon on the flannel ball, she accepted it completely without much effort.

But unfortunately, Wuming said that she was the leader of the demon hunters [Chu Ye Ya Zhong], but her understanding of many demons was limited to "how to fight more conveniently".

On a deeper level, according to her, the origins and allusions of demons are completely beyond the understanding of a rough person like her.

That is precious knowledge that can only be obtained by nobles, wealthy families, or wealthy book collectors.

Lan En was not disappointed either. At least from Wuming, he knew the basic concept of [Guardian Spirit].

The [Guardian Spirit], which is equivalent to the blessing of gods and Buddhas, will spontaneously choose someone who has a higher affinity with itself, or to put it in a more mysterious way: a person with fate.

And live in that person.

Generally speaking, people who can be possessed by guardian spirits can do something extraordinary in this world.

As for whether the guardian spirit blesses them, they can do something. Or maybe it is because of their own character and will that they can accomplish something, so they are chosen by the guardian spirit. No one can tell clearly.

However, nothing is absolute. Generally speaking, after being possessed by the guardian spirit, one can see the foul air of the monster or evil spirit like Wuming, and then purify it.

However, some guardian spirit hosts do not even realize that they have been chosen to be possessed.

However, whether they can detect it or not does not affect the special abilities given to the possessed person by the guardian spirit.

Originally, Lan En was going to cut to the topic as the monster [Shanca], and slowly introduce the topic to the [Guardian Spirit] without leaving any trace.

But unexpectedly, Wuming was very simple and straightforward, and also told the situation of his [Guardian Spirit].

It can be seen that this is a straightforward and straightforward woman.

Wuming's guardian spirit is called [Yabohime], a woman in ancient Japanese legend who ate mermaid meat, became immortal and turned into a mermaid.

This guardian spirit gave her an affinity for the power of water and the ability to efficiently restore her body.

Even so, Wuming was not sure whether he had figured out all the abilities given to him by [Yabohime] and whether she had really noticed them.

Like the knowledge of those monsters, the abilities given by the guardian spirits were mostly hidden in the clues of those ancient legends.

It was difficult for ordinary people to have the ability to integrate records in this era when knowledge was precious and scarce, unless they were from a wealthy family or a book collection.

And it seemed that because he had gained a basic understanding of the [Guardian Spirit] from Wuming, Lan En felt as if he had a clearer sense of the invisible power around him.

He lay on the bed that he had made on the tung oil wooden floor by putting together two quilts.

In the dim and lightless Japanese-style room, only his and Wuming's steady breathing could be heard.

But even if Lan En closed his eyes, he felt that there was a strong and energetic beast lying quietly beside his quilt.

The beast's body radiated a sense of comfort and warmth, as if it was protecting him.

But when he really wanted to open his eyes and turn his head to look around, there was nothing.

When he knew that [Guardian Spirit] was such a harmless and beneficial power, Lan En still wanted to temporarily put away his [Body Light] so that the power in the void could play a more direct role.

After all, it only took Kirin and the flannel ball one night to show their guardian spirits. Although they still didn't know what the power given by these guardian spirits was, Kirin didn't even know what the guardian spirit was called. But after all, it has taken shape.

And on his current [Body Light], there are still only messy lines, not even a contour.

This efficiency is obviously a bit too poor.

But it seems that those powers, once carved on the perfect [Body Light], can't be transferred.

Even if he put away the [Body Light], those powers would not fall directly on him. Instead, it was in a mess in the void at that time, looking dazed and without a place to stay.

It was not until he released the [Body Light] again that these powers seemed to have finally found the right track, and they continued to run on their own, carving on the [Body Light].

In this case, Lan En no longer insisted on efficiency, because it was impossible to ask for it anyway.

But he was still a little curious about what the [Guardian Spirit] that chose him would be?

The next morning, a night passed without any twists and turns.

Wuming and Lan En both put on their respective coats and armors with normal expressions.

People who have been fighting and traveling for a long time generally cannot be pretentious.

Just as Lan En expected: before the arrival of someone who could help Ando Mamoru analyze himself, the city lord of Iwamura City adhered to the principle of 'do less and make fewer mistakes' and chose not to have more contact with him.

The demon hunter also felt that it was just right. His main focus now was on dealing with the [Remnants]. Human relationships should come later.

Getting up early in the morning, the two people came out of the castle tower and went straight to the house where Wu Ming accepted the commission.

The castle town of Iwamura Castle was already busy. The porters, wearing only tops and loincloths, began to pant and work hard, and the trucks collecting excrement rushed out of the city.

Only a few grocery stores opened their doors, while more people went out of the city to plow the fields.

When commercial activities are not strong enough, there are not that many jobs in the city to feed people, and the main population is still concentrated in agriculture.

Low wooden houses are connected together, which is the normal appearance of a military fortress.

And not long after, Wu Ming brought Lan En to her client's home.

In the residential classification of Iwamura City, this family belongs to No. 16 C.

It was similar to the room of the hanged old woman where the two had a brief encounter due to a misunderstanding. It was an inconspicuous room among a group of private houses.

The combination of a demon hunter and a tall man with strange armor clearly made people shy away even more.

At the same time, they all looked at the house belonging to the ignorant client with a strange look.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

But since they are the client, even they are taboo about contacting the demon hunters, and now they have to contact them.

"Please, please come in!"

The person who opened the wooden door was a man with a turban on his head and a confused look on his face.

He bowed and extended an invitation into the room, but there was a subconscious expression of reluctance on his face.

Fortunately, both the leading demon hunter Wu Ming and Lan En are completely accustomed to ignoring the mild rejection of others.

By the time Lan En bent down and dived into the door frame, Wu Ming had already walked in easily.

The male owner of the room hadn't felt anything just yet. At this moment, he looked up blankly and saw Lan En's figure. He staggered back two steps and almost sat on the ground.

"Eh~!" He made a sharp voice like a woman, "Yao, Yao!"

Before he could finish blurting out the word 'monster', Wu Ming patted him on the shoulder very familiarly.

The man's legs were really weak, and he was slapped down as if to say hello.

There was an old couple, a woman and a little boy in the not-so-spacious room. They immediately gathered around, helped the man away from them, and looked at them with vigilance and fear.

It seems that this is a still complete family from the Warring States Period in Japan.

"Okay, he's not a monster."

Wu Ming is completely accustomed to the fearful looks in other people's eyes.

And unlike the occasional self-pity that a demon hunter has, the demon hunter's persistence in her profession comes from hatred, so she is even much more free and easy than that old guy Geralt.

As he said this, he sat down on the small wooden steps on the only wooden floor in this small house.

This wooden floor is where the family rests every day.

If there are guests at home, they will be invited here first.

The difference in status represented by the wooden floor and the loess floor in the house may be the semantic origin of the sincere apology gesture of "Doxiaza".

The person receiving the apology sits on the wooden floor on the steps, while the person kneeling to apologize lies on the ground.

Describes status differences and a sincere and humble attitude.

"I accepted your request, but things don't seem to be peaceful here lately."

Wuming looked very heroic and said with his elbows on his knees.

The employer's family, who saw that the two people who came in were not easy to mess with, but their attitudes were not very violent, calmed down a little at this time.

"Can we add more money?" The man, the head of the family, gritted his teeth and said with difficulty. "Please! We can only live here. If we move to another place, we will be unfamiliar with the place. There are five people in my family!"

"Please help us clean up the [residue]!"

"Do you think," Lan En, who was standing at the door blocking most of the sunlight, interrupted and asked, "what you are encountering now can be solved by just moving?"

The family looked at Lan En in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Lan En and Wu Ming briefly looked at each other and nodded to each other.

It seems that this employer did not intend to hide it, but he did not find the problem himself.

In this way, ignorance is no longer hidden.

"There's something wrong with your [Filth] house." The demon hunter stepped on the ground with his foot and pointed to this room with a serious expression. "If I want to solve it, I have to ask you a few questions first."
