Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1479 1151. Legends and Knowledge

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

But at least I can't make it today.

After Lan En and Wuming had something to eat, they chatted about the guardian spirit [Shanca] on the flannel ball, and then took a rest.

According to Wu Ming, [Shan Tsa] is actually a harmless little monster.

However, in the conventional operation of Japanese Shintoism, the identity classification of monsters, evil spirits, gods and Buddhas can always be transformed.

Monsters and evil spirits can be enshrined as gods and Buddhas through rituals and long-term worship. If the gods and Buddhas descend themselves into incarnations that represent malice or evil in legends, they will also be treated as monsters and punished.

So although Wu Ming had never seen or even heard of the existence of the guardian spirit [Shan Cha], when she saw the strange phenomenon on Flannel Ball, she accepted it completely without any effort.

But it's a pity that Wu Ming is the leader of the monster hunters [Chu Ye Yanzhong], but her insights on many monsters are limited to 'how to fight more conveniently'.

On a deeper level, according to her, the origin and allusions of monsters are completely beyond the comprehension of a rough person like her.

That is precious knowledge that can only be obtained by high-ranking officials, noble families, or wealthy book collectors.

Lan En did not feel disappointed, at least from Wu Ming, he understood the basic concept of [Guardian Spirit].

The [Guardian Spirit], which is equivalent to the blessing of gods and Buddhas, will spontaneously choose someone who is more compatible with itself, or to put it another way: a person with a destiny.

Inhabit that person.

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

As for the guardian spirits protecting them, they allowed them to accomplish their great deeds. In other words, it is because their own character and will can accomplish great things, so they are chosen by the guardian spirits. No one can say clearly.

However, there are no absolutes in everything. Generally speaking, people who are possessed by guardian spirits can, like ignorance, see the filthy odors on monsters or evil spirits and then purify them.

However, some guardian spirit hosts are not even aware that they have been selected and possessed.

However, whether you notice it or not does not affect the special abilities that the guardian spirit bestows on the possessed person.

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

But I didn't expect Wu Ming to be very simple and straightforward, and also told the situation of his [Guardian Spirit].

It can be seen that this is a happy and outspoken woman.

The guardian spirit of ignorance is called "Yabaobime". According to ancient Japanese legend, she is a woman who ate mermaid meat and became immortal and turned into a mermaid.

This guardian spirit gives her an affinity for the power of water and the ability to efficiently restore her body.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Even so, Wu Ming is not sure whether he has figured out whether all the abilities given to him by [Eight Hundred Waves Princess] have really been noticed by her.

Like the knowledge of monsters, most of the abilities given by guardian spirits are hidden in the clues of ancient legends.

Not from a wealthy family or a home with a large collection of books, in this era when knowledge is precious and scarce, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the ability to integrate records.

And it seems that because he got the basic understanding of [Guardian Spirit] from Wu Ming, Lan En feels like he has a clearer sense of the currently invisible power around him.

He lay down on a bed made of tung oil wooden floor after he had put two quilts together.

In the dim Japanese room, the only sounds left were his and Wu Ming's steady breathing.

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

The beast's body radiated heat that felt reassuring and warm, as if it was protecting him.

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

When he knew that [Guardian Spirit] was such a harmless and beneficial force, Lan En also thought of temporarily putting away his [Body Light] so that the power in the void could work more directly.

After all, it only took one night for Qilin and Rongbuqiu to manifest their guardian spirits. Although they still don’t know the power given by these guardian spirits, Qilin doesn’t even know what the guardian spirits are called. But after all, it has already taken shape.

But his current [body light] still only has messy lines, not even an outline.

The efficiency is obviously much worse.

But it seems that those powers cannot be converted once the carving on the perfect [Shenguang] begins.

Even if he puts away his [Body Light], the power will not fall directly on him. Instead, it was a mess in the void, looking dazed with nowhere to stay.

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

In this case, Lan En no longer insists on efficiency, since he can't get it anyway.

But he is still a little curious, what will be the [Guardian Spirit] he chooses?

The next morning, the night passed without any troubles.

Wu Ming and Lan En both wore their coats and armor with normal expressions.

People who spend long hours fighting and rushing to work are generally unable to 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 has become 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.

But since they are clients, even they are taboo about contacting 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 dazed look on his face.

He bowed and extended his hand to invite 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.

"Hey~!" 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 very 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 "Tsuchiaza".

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 your place seems to be uneasy recently."

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 attitude was 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 facing 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 house's [Filth]." 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."
