Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1464 1436. Thirteen Sakura Village

I don’t know the reason or origin, but since I came to this world, I have been entangled with three invisible forces.

Although Lan En passed through [Body Light], he did not feel the malice of this power.

But to be cautious, he still wanted to find information from local people or this world to see what this power was about.

If this was some sort of 'self-defense mechanism' in this world, we could have dealt with it earlier if we had known about it.

With the idea of ​​​​solving doubts and hidden dangers, Lan En rode his unicorn down the cliff, changed direction, and prepared to visit the village from the main entrance.

From Qilin's high-speed movement, Lan En already knew the general layout of the 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 treats it as a world with similar development to some of the cultural backgrounds of his home world.

The deepest part of this village is undoubtedly the huge cherry blossom tree they saw when they first came out of the rift between the heaven and earth.

Shintoism, as Japan’s native religion, believes in ‘animism’.

In other words, mountains, rivers, and even man-made artifacts that have been used for a long time have their own spirituality and power. Therefore, it is normal for a huge evergreen tree to be used as an object of worship.

Outside the courtyard where the Changying Tree is located, the side hall is a small sacred hall, which should also be the residence of people with status such as village chiefs and priests.

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

Lan En guessed that it had something to do with the village's business.

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

Otherwise, we would not be able to save such a large cemetery.

Could it be that this was a relatively stable era?

Lan En thought wildly.

Although it is clear that extraordinary power exists in this world, Lan En does not know the clear manifestation of extraordinary power.

Therefore, in order to prevent others from being frightened, he asked Fluffy Ball and Qilin to stand by at a distance while he went to the village alone.

The loess road, thanks to the lack of rain recently, is not covered with yellow mud.

As Lan En walked, he muttered the 50 Japanese syllables he learned in Ashina Assault.

"They should speak Japanese, right? Maybe?"

They did speak Japanese.

When he was still a short distance away from the village gate, Lan En had already heard the conversation of several people near the gate.

"Oh! It's Mr. Zentianbo! Are you here to take care of business again?"

"Ah, who doesn't want food these days? I have almost a hundred tons more rice now, and the cars are not enough. I want to see if you have any spare cars here that can be dispatched."

"Your business is really getting bigger and bigger."

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

Behind him were two horse-drawn wooden carts, which were piled high. Although they could barely move, they were slow and dangerous, and they had to move out to load other carts.

The so-called "tu" is a cylindrical container made of straw and hemp rope, used for storing and transporting grain.

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

"Hey, I heard that the carriage is gone." The gatekeeper said in a joking tone, "Do you want an ox-cart, Mr. Zentianbo?"

The two gatekeepers were both wearing only a top, single pants on their legs, leggings tied with cloth strips on their calves, and straw sandals with Sanfu buckles on their feet.

He wears a forehead protector with iron plates on his forehead, and his upper body is a simple armor with more scattered iron plates.

While joking and talking with the businessman, his legs in single pants rubbed against each other. The two feet in the straw sandals did not wear foot bags, 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 native villagers still subconsciously rub themselves against each other to keep warm.

"Don't kid me." Shantianfang waved his hand, as if he was disgusted, "The ox cart is only affordable for the rich. I use it to pull goods? Don't I make money?"

"Hey!" the gatekeeper said, holding the spear in his arms, "In our Shisanying Village, after the ox-carts and carriages of the caravans from all over the country came, we could easily grow strong without losing weight! It's not like you didn't know , so the bullock cart will be cheaper than elsewhere.”

The gatekeeper next to him smiled and helped: "How about it? Give it a try! You, a businessman, can ride in a bullock cart, just like a nobleman! Just treat it like a show of style!"

The most fearful thing for working animals is losing fat.

For those who rely on farm work for a living, if they have a cow, the cow's fat loss will be much more serious than their own.

And those who borrow cattle as a means of lending will be in trouble with the borrower if the borrowed cattle lose fat.

Therefore, if the horses and cows working in Shisanying Village are less likely to lose weight than other places, they can indeed be cheaper than other places.

Shantianfang was a little moved, mainly because of the sentence 'just like a noble person', which made him feel very exciting.

But before he could express his emotions, he suddenly saw the two gatekeepers of the Thirteen Sakura Village in front of him suddenly becoming nervous.

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.

"A monster?!" a guard guard muttered in a trembling voice.

"In broad daylight?" The voice of another guard guard 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!

"Ki-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.

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 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 **** is going on?'

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

On the contrary, it is more similar 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 and hesitantly spoke 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.

The face was so handsome that it was almost enchanting. 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 listening to Lan En's self-introduction of family status, he was even more stunned that his brain couldn't handle it.

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 very impressively and shouted at the same time.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
