Chapter 8

During this period, although the monsters rampant in Inazuma are no longer glorious, the brilliance belonging to humans has just begun.

If there are no accidents, the era of humans will rise rapidly.

It is a pity that the disaster that swept the entire continent next directly nipped the bud, causing many precious isolated books and knowledge to be lost, and it didn't recover for hundreds of years.

"Is there any problem?" Reizenbou asks when she sees his strange expression.

"Nothing, just thinking of some past events."

Smelling the fresh fragrance, and then taking a sip of the tea brewed by the Great Tengu herself, Luo Li cannot help but sigh: "In terms of tea ceremony, those who can compare with you in Inazuma are only two or three."

Sure enough, in terms of self-cultivation, the longer you live, the higher your attainments.

For example, the blind old man named Koyama beside Raiden Makoto, who has brewed tea for the Shogun for forty years, even if he cannot see, it does not affect his duties.

Speaking of which, when did he start to like tea tasting?

It seems it was influenced by Morax at the beginning.

Listening to music requires famous actors, drinking tea requires sweet dew, and appreciating birds requires thrushes.

Particular people do particular things.

Not caring that the topic was diverted, Reizenbou smiles bitterly: "Hearing it from your mouth, I always feel that it carries a sense of irony."

The reason for saying this is entirely because the two or three people in Luo Li's mouth include himself.

"How can that be? If it were undrinkable, I would have poured it out long ago."

Even with the Great Tengu's good temper, she cannot help but glare at him: "Stop talking nonsense. Coming to find me at this time is not just for a visit, right? Tell me your purpose first."

The tone does not hide the intention of expelling him as soon as he finishes speaking.

If she says who she finds most difficult to deal with, the first is Kitsune Saiguu, and the second is the young man in front of her.

Talking about business, Luo Li is much more serious, slowly saying: "Regarding the shadow covering Inazuma, did that fox who observes the world and knows everything reveal anything to you?"

He did not come here just to walk around, but with a purpose.

If he doesn't figure out what the two women want to do and leave some targeted backhands, it would be too late to regret if something unexpected happens.

After all, in all of Inazuma, if anyone has a premonition about the upcoming Khaenri'ah war and the disaster sweeping the continent, besides Raiden Makoto, it is Kitsune Saiguu.

In order to protect Inazuma, the two of them will definitely make preparations in advance and reveal the matter vaguely to people they trust.

Mentioning this, Reizenbou, whose eyes are flickering, meets his gaze and remains silent for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, she sighs and finally speaks.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."

It is interesting to say that just like the Almighty Shogun who came across the sea, the inexplicably appearing Luo Li is also shrouded in a layer of fog from beginning to end.

No one can see through him, let alone his origin.

Intuition tells Reizenbou that it is basically impossible to brush off someone like him.

"What does that fox intend to let you do?"

"She wants to use the Shrine's sacred objects to connect the four directions of Narukami, link the ley lines, and set up a barrier sufficient to protect the entire island in case of accidents. Besides that..."

Since everything has been said, Reizenbou naturally has no reason to hide anything, and tells everything she knows and guesses.

During this period, Luo Li remains almost silent, only nodding occasionally.

Plus everything he knew from the game plot before transmigrating, he roughly figured out Kitsune Saiguu's thoughts and actions.

Until the clear tea is cold and then hot, and the morning sun passes through the center, dyeing a piece of sunset glow.

The two stop discussing Inazuma.

"Then that's all for today, I'm leaving."

Coming suddenly, Luo Li also leaves gracefully.

The goal is achieved, staying longer is just a waste of time.

Just before going out, he suddenly stops.

Reizenbou asks: "Is there any other problem?"

"No, I just want to remind you slightly that the boy outside is quite talented, it's not bad to try to teach him."

After speaking, Luo Li walks out of the branch shrine without looking back.

Reizenbou is stunned, then cannot help but slander.

"If you want to teach, go yourself, why persuade me?"

"Coincidentally, I have no interest in teaching the same sex."

"..."

Watching Luo Li's back go away, Reizenbou holds her forehead and sighs.

I don't know how long it took.

After hesitating again and again, perhaps moved by Luo Li's words, she finally gets up and steps out of the branch shrine.

The boy kneeling outside still has a straight back, biting his teeth with a stubborn look in his eyes, but his face looks pale and his body is trembling slightly.

Thinking that as long as she doesn't speak, the other party will continue until his body can no longer hold on.

Not to mention anything else, this perseverance is indeed rare.

"Why bother, mortals who seek the path of transcendence, the results are not necessarily good."

Reizenbou is speaking from the heart. In the future, Inazuma will be full of blood and rain. Being an incompetent and ignorant mortal is a kind of happiness.

The boy says nothing, silently showing his determination with actions.

"Fine, get up, I agree."

Reizenbou has been watching in these three days and three nights. Even without Luo Li's words, she was ready to accept the boy.

"But I'll say it first, the spells our clan can teach humans are few, and the difficulty is quite high. If you are afraid, you can retreat now."

Almost as soon as the warning words fell, the boy bowed down.

"Thank you, Lord Tengu, for your fulfillment!"

"..."

Forget it, since the determination is so, Reizenbou will not say anything more.

The boy accepted now might be a small spark scattered by the Tengu clan in the future.

At the same time, Luo Li, who left the branch shrine, did not return to the Grand Narukami Shrine for the time being.

He first looked for Asase Hibiki, who was taken away by Mitsuyo.

The two girls are whispering by the waterfall outside the Tengu encampment.

Clearly they only met once, but at this moment, the relationship seems inexplicably good.

I don't know what Mitsuyo did, but Asase Hibiki's trust in her has obviously deepened, and she no longer looks timid.

The moment Luo Li finds the two, Mitsuyo also sees him and immediately happily flies down from the tree branch on the cliff with the little shrine maiden she just met.

"Teacher, finished talking with Mother?"

"Well, let's go, fulfill the previous promise, today Teacher's remaining time is at your disposal."

"Really?!"

Mitsuyo is very surprised. She originally thought that it would be great to be by Teacher's side, but hearing this, it seems she can take the initiative to do whatever she wants?

Luo Li nods simply: "However, before that, let's examine your archery. If you have regressed..."

"For so many years, the archery and spells taught by Teacher have not been left behind for a day, don't underestimate me."

Mitsuyo is full of confidence, so she can't wait to take the initiative to go to the place of exercise.

"Is that so? If you perform well, Teacher can promise to agree to one condition of yours."

Hearing this, the Tengu girl is suddenly full of motivation, wanting to test success perfectly immediately, so that Luo Li can fulfill his promise.
