Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1482 1154. Special

"After all, I am just the son-in-law of Lord Mamoru Ando."

After entering the city and walking towards the castle tower, Takenaka Shigeharu sounded apologetic.

"It is related to the household registration records of the entire Iwamura City. It will definitely not be taken out by Mr. Ando Mamoru just because of my one-sided words."

"But I will mediate for the two of you. But to be honest, I just heard it in confusion. I hope that the two of you can explain the situation in detail later. If it is really critical, I will try to persuade Ando Mamoru to do it." grown ups."

Marriages, political alliances and interest alliances between nobles are far more considerations than feelings.

Regarding the key records of the entire city, let alone a son-in-law, even if his own son wanted to interfere, Ando Mamoru would suddenly become alert.

"That's enough." Lan En nodded sincerely towards the young warrior, "Thank you very much, Lord Takenaka Shigeharu."

"No, you're welcome." As the one being thanked, Takenaka Shigeharu bowed slightly, which made Lan En quite uncomfortable. "If you don't mind, just call me Hanbei. It doesn't have to be so formal."

Straw sandals made a rustling sound on the ground, and the horse led by the young samurai was breathing through its nostrils.

The three of them had already arrived in front of the castle tower.

As Lan En had expected, Ando Mamoru, who had tried to keep a distance from him and avoid contact with him during the day, was now standing directly on the steps of the castle tower.

The expression of surprise and welcome on his face was as if he had wanted to entertain Lan En for a long time but never had the chance.

The 'surprise' and 'joy' in this expression are both real.

The lord of Iwamura City was a little surprised that his favored son-in-law was already hanging out with someone who wanted to find out the details.

But when Takenaka Hanbei raised his head and nodded slightly towards him on the steps, he no longer struggled.

He was deeply impressed by his son-in-law's intelligence, and he was also reliable and gentle. It can be said that Mamoru Ando valued this son-in-law very much.

Otherwise, when a noble person with uncertain background appears in the city, his first reaction would be to invite him to discuss with him.

"I apologize for my poor hospitality recently."

Before Lan En and the others had reached the halfway point on the steps, Ando Mamoru, who was standing on top, had already hurried down and led everyone towards the castle tower as a master.

"I have been busy with military affairs recently, because there happened to be a batch of weapons and armor from Taotao Mountain to be put into storage in the past few days. I really shouldn't have neglected our guests."

Ando Mamoru said this enthusiastically, and Lan En didn't mean to expose it at all. He smiled and nodded, as if he believed it.

"Just tonight!" Ando Mamoru's tone was decisive, and his enthusiasm almost overflowed from his words. "It just so happened that my son-in-law also came to visit. I think it's time to give him a formal welcome."

Lan En had long expected this, and Wu Ming just looked at the demon hunter in surprise because of Lan En's previous reminder, and then accepted it silently.

Mamoru Ando waved to the people next to him to come forward, lead the guests to take a bath, and then prepare a banquet.

And he dragged his son-in-law, who also came from outside, to his side, which seemed to change Takenaka Hanbei's identity from a 'guest' to a 'host who helps to pick up the wind'.

He didn't really expect Takenaka Hanbei to help organize the banquet, and he didn't need it.

He just wanted to communicate with his son-in-law in advance through this arrangement.

Takenaka Hanbei took off his raincoat and bamboo hat with a face curtain and handed them to the man next to him. He followed his father-in-law until he entered a small tea room.

At this time, although the tea ceremony had not suddenly risen due to Oda Nobunaga's praise of tea utensils, it had not become a political symbol.

However, the tearoom itself has become a place for many people to discuss matters and think about countermeasures due to its small and private characteristics, as well as its elegant and calming temperament.

Its status is roughly equivalent to the study room in ancient China.

The so-called ‘tea tasting’ is essentially a small-scale private meeting.

Ando Moriju's tea room is also very cramped. Three people standing side by side have to squeeze into it shoulder to shoulder, and it can accommodate four people sitting cross-legged.

This small space is one of the characteristics of Japanese teahouses.

"How about it?"

As soon as Takenaka Hanbei followed him into the tea room, turned around and gently closed the narrow door of the tea room, Ando Mamoru couldn't wait to ask.

The father-in-law sat cross-legged casually, while Takenaka Hanbei maintained a regular kneeling posture.

"Father, I only met those two on the way into the city. I didn't have any contact with them for a long time."

"Don't fool me, Hanbei!" Mamoru Ando blew his beard and glared, "I know your wisdom and ability better than anyone else in the world. It's normal for ordinary people to not be able to see through a person after spending several years together, but with you Something is wrong with me.”

"You must already know them, right? Come on, tell me, who are they?"

The lord of Iwamura Castle was eager to hear his son-in-law's answer.

But the gentle smile on Takenaka Hanbei's lips faded a little, and he shook his head seriously.

"Please stop saying such exaggerated words, Father."

"I can only say that I have a vague understanding of it, but how far is it from seeing it through? That's too far."

And after hearing what his son-in-law said to him so seriously.

Ando Morinaga's expression was first surprise and disbelief, then wide-eyed contemplation.

When he sat cross-legged, his body leaned forward in anticipation, but his expression changed and he sat back.

"Really. Can't see through?" He still didn't dare to believe it, and at the same time, his eyes glanced behind his son-in-law's shoulder obscurely and carefully, "Even if I ask your teacher to look, he can't see through it?"

At a level that ordinary people can't see clearly, Takenaka Hanbei's guardian spirit has already appeared and floated in front of him.

The old scholar-like long-bearded goat with his hands behind his back and hunched back floated leisurely in front of Ando Morinaga, shaking his head and sighing.

"It's really a rotten wood that can't be carved."

The guardian spirit said to his host.

"I'm not an exaggerated thing that knows everything. How can I be as god as he imagines."

The voice of this guardian spirit is very consistent with its appearance. It is old but clear and coherent, and it also has a little trembling of the goat's "bleating".

"Teacher," Takenaka Hanbei called his guardian spirit awkwardly.

He regarded the guardian spirit that resided in him as his teacher.

A correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

The Takenaka family was not a very powerful family even in Mino, so it was reasonable that they could not produce a wise man like him.

Because wisdom needs to be developed and nurtured, and what can develop and nurture wisdom is knowledge and training.

The Takenaka family did not have this accumulation, and just when Takenaka Hanbei had finished reading the few books in the family, his guardian spirit suddenly appeared one day.

Taught him and broadened his horizons.

This is a real master.

And now, Ando Morimasa is his father-in-law.

Although his father-in-law could not see or hear his teacher complaining about him, Takenaka Hanbei's own moral and ethical constraints still made him feel caught between two elders, which was very embarrassing.

He could only beg his teacher not to say anything more.

When Ando Mamoru saw his son-in-law start talking to a void in the tea room, he immediately sat up straighter and his face became solemn.

Although he couldn't see or hear, he knew in his heart that the gods and Buddhas had already come to this small tea room!

If he hadn't accidentally obtained a talisman that could temporarily open the [Yin Yang Eyes], he wouldn't have been able to pick such a person to be his son-in-law!

"Well, Hanbei. There's nothing much to say about your father-in-law's wooden head. Forget it."

The old scholar shook his neck, and the goat horns wrapped with gold ornaments shook with it.

"Thank you very much." Takenaka Hanbei breathed a sigh of relief for his teacher's words.

But then, the young warrior asked his guardian spirit for advice in confusion.

"Teacher, although I can only see that Lord Lan En is profound and without any foundation from my physiognomy, tell me the truth. You appeared on my shoulder at that time not just because you responded to the power of [Yabohime], right?"

Because of his guardian spirit, Takenaka Hanbei's reading volume is simply amazing in this era. Naturally, it also includes all kinds of monsters and gods and Buddhas.

The moment the guardian spirit appeared on Wuming, he had roughly confirmed the identity of this guardian spirit.

"Of course." The old scholar goat said with a unique tremor, and floated in front of his student with his hands behind his back. "Although [Yabohime] is extraordinary, I have seen it live in humans more than once."

"But that man, if he can still be called a 'human'."

At this point, the old scholar goat raised his head slightly, which was originally lowered because of his hunched back.

The 'one-character pupil' behind the small round glasses looked at his student very seriously.

"Didn't you notice that he was also in the process of being possessed?"

".?!"

In silence, only Takenaka Hanbei's astonished expression expressed his feelings at the moment.

In the process of possession? Isn't the possession of the guardian spirit a matter of a moment?

It's just that most of the possessed people slowly discover that they are inhabited by the guardian spirit, so they have the illusion that "this is a continuous process."

This is the knowledge that Takenaka Hanbei's teacher taught him.

And now, his teacher has come up with another statement?

"I am not wrong about this matter, he is just a special case."

Facing the surprised students, the old scholar Goat shook his head and said.

"That person is very special. Whether it is him, the guardian spirit that will be inhabited by him, or the way of possession."

"To be honest, I can't imagine that someone will actually be possessed by Him."
