Chapter 1472 1444 Little Raccoon? Big Cat Ball?

Chapter 1472 1444. Raccoon? Big cat ball?

"It is exactly as you said." Daisuke Kikuchi frowned and sighed, "You are already stained with [filth]. If you conduct the investigation, fewer people will be implicated. But I didn't expect that you have already made such a realization."

As he said this, Daisuke Kikuchi bowed solemnly.

"I underestimated you, I am very sorry."

Lan En scratched his chin. Although he had only been in contact with this old warrior for a short time, he had already bowed many times.

It made Lan En a little numb.

This deepened Lan En's stereotype.

After getting up, Daisuke Kikuchi said seriously: "The convoy this man is in also came out of Iwamura Castle."

"Please allow me to write a letter and hand it over to the master, Lord Ando Morinari, to explain the situation here and your identity. To be honest, your identity is still a bit too bizarre."

This is exactly one of the effects that Lan En hopes to achieve.

His identity is indeed very bizarre. But if a serious samurai like Daisuke Kikuchi can give him a letter of introduction, then 99% of the doubts will be reduced immediately.

Ando Morinari is one of the 'Mino Three', and Daisuke Kikuchi seems to be a serious samurai under him. It is estimated that a large part of the land in the Thirteen Sakura Village was granted to him.

He is a strong dragon, and the village chief who is also a priest and in charge of worshiping the cherry tree and praying for blessings and eliminating disasters is a local family and a local snake.

However, it seems that the strong dragon and the local snake seem to have a good relationship and there is no conflict.

This may also be related to the fact that the Thirteen Sakura Village mainly relies on the post station business to make money, rather than the traditional farming business.

The social class and social role of samurai corresponded to those of Western knights to a large extent.

Under a lord, there were only a limited number of proper samurai. If there were more, they could not be supported, and there were no real estates to be divided.

Therefore, the status of these people in the eyes of the lord was also extraordinary.

With the introduction letter of Daisuke Kikuchi, even if Lan En left Ando Morinari's territory, he could still argue in Mino.

Of course, if he left Mino, he would basically have no way out.

Although the daimyos from all over Japan were fighting each other, it was said that last year, the famous Suruga Imagawa family, Kai Takeda family, and Sagami Hojo family had all formed an alliance to deal with the pressure from outsiders.

Although Lan En's origin was so bizarre that people wanted to complain, it was precisely because it was too bizarre that Daisuke Kikuchi could hardly suspect that he was a spy.

Moreover, it was a coincidence that Lan En and the man who hanged himself were both contaminated with [filth]. The location of their adjacent houses was arranged by Daisuke Kikuchi himself.

It's not like spies from other countries deliberately came to Mino to spread [Remnant] and invite demons to cause trouble.

And although it's a chaotic time when daimyo are fighting each other, Daisuke Kikuchi still doesn't believe that anyone would really do such a thing without a bottom line.

Using the power of ghosts and gods to disturb the world. Such things would be punished by the court in the past!

Although the Kyoto court is declining now, who really dares to risk the world's disapproval?

Therefore, if it's just to investigate [Remnant], Daisuke Kikuchi doesn't mind using his letter to stand up for Lan En.

"I know about the caravan departing from Iwamura Castle." Lan En nodded in agreement.

"Okay, since it's decided, let's set off tomorrow!" The village chief yawned and said, waving his hand as he walked towards the shrine deep in the village, "Rest tonight."

Watching the priest village chief leave, the serious Daisuke Kikuchi sighed unhappily.

But he still went back to his home, wrote a letter to Lan En, and found the leader of the caravan where the hanged man was, and asked him where he lived in Iwamura City and whether there was anything unusual on the road.

Although the caravan leader looked nervous and frightened, it was obvious that he was only afraid because his men had committed suicide after being contaminated with [Residual Filth].

Unlike that man, he looked like he had been scared crazy or scared stupid.

The fear brought by [Residual Filth] was basically in the realm of supernatural power.

On the riverside sparkling with moonlight, Daisuke Kikuchi handed his letter to Lan En.

Lan En put the letter in his arms. The village was now dark, and most people had fallen asleep again. Only a few torches were still wandering in the village.

Daisuke Kikuchi's face was therefore unclear in the dark.

The demon hunter opened his mouth, and finally spoke as if he had decided something.

"Maybe it's a little too intimate," he glanced at the old samurai, "but the village chief didn't tell the truth, at least he didn't finish the truth, you should be able to see that?"

".Well, of course I can see that." Daisuke Kikuchi's voice sounded after a short silence, "I also know that he has hidden something, but it would be abnormal for a priest to have hidden something."

"But he is not a bad person." The old samurai looked up at the demon hunter, "I know what you are suspicious of, but Gosaku would not do such a thing."

"He is a person who is passionate about faith. He used to visit shrines everywhere and was called [Gosaku who travels around]."

"This is the village where he grew up. The Thirteen Sakura is the sacred tree that his family has worshipped for generations. He can't do anything that harms the Thirteen Sakura Village."

Finally, Daisuke Kikuchi said it firmly.

Looking at his appearance, Lan En shook his head, indicating that he had no more questions to say.

——

Early the next morning, Lan En was already standing outside the village gate, preparing to set off for Iwamura Castle, the residence of the local lord Ando Shou.

Daisuke Kikuchi showed him the way and prepared dry food and some rewards.

According to him, it is unjustifiable not to pay for investigating the source of [residues] that pollutes the village.

In addition to the material support from the old warrior, the village chief also sent some things.

A bamboo tube of [Goshen Shui] is said to be dew collected from the enshrined cherry tree in the village.

Condensed from the sacred tree and blessed by French methods, the effect is much stronger than the [Royal Divine Water] on the market.

There are also three [Water Summoning Talisman].

It is said that this is the product of onmyoji. Lan En looks a bit like the yellow paper talisman in the zombie movie when he was a child, except that the yellow paper talisman is written with yellow paper and red cinnabar.

These are white paper and black ink.

The power of water in Onmyoji can be wrapped around the weapon wiped with the talisman.

Lan En has never seen the effect of the local Onmyoji's 'water power', but he expected that it should be more than just a layer of water flowing around the blade.

Lan En had only been in contact with Shisan Yingcun for one day and helped a little.

To say how deep the trust and friendship between them is is to go too far. But there was nothing uncomfortable for Lan En to do this kind of task that was similar to an employment relationship.

He is a demon hunter.

In addition to some material support, Shisanying Village also provided several strings of copper coins as a deposit for the mission.

Lan En didn't care much, but it would be a lot more convenient to have local currency.

Several strings of copper coins have several shapes, and they seem to have been minted in different eras or different emperor periods.

Qianyuan Dabao, Ten Thousand Years Tongbao, Magical Opening Treasure, etc. are all very complicated.

After leaving Shisan Sakura Village, it is equivalent to stepping into the wild.

A serious commercial road is nothing more than a loess road without weeds. On the roadside, you can see deep woods or rolling hills everywhere.

Japan's terrain is extremely undulating. Although there is Noo Plain at the junction of Mino Country and Owari Country, it is obviously not near Jusanzakura Village.

So in the wild here, the most common ones are narrow animal trails among dense shrubs and grass, as well as undulating slopes.

Sometimes you can see Ksitigarbha statues standing on the roadside, which are baby statues.

Not long after coming out, Lan En rubbed the magic ring on his hand.

After a while, the crisp sound of horse hooves came over, accompanied by the crackle of lightning and the sound of branches and shrubs being knocked apart.

Lan En stopped and was about to raise his hand to say hello.

But she didn't even wait for him to speak first.

"Xilulu!"

"Boss Meow!"

Fluffy Ball and Qilin couldn't wait to rush to his side.

The three-flowered kitten stood on the back of the unicorn and pointed at the unicorn's head and behind them.

"have a look"

The flannel ball's little paws were still pointing hard, and he was too anxious to speak.

"We are both caught up in something, right?"

Qilin was still taller than Lan En when he raised his head normally, so the demon hunter didn't see what was on its head at first glance.

But as Lan En's eyes followed the flannel ball's little paws.

"Eh?!"

Lan En couldn't help but open his mouth.

On the head of the unicorn, a little raccoon with an illusory body? It is sitting listlessly on its head!

He has a very human and lazy expression, his whole body is fiery red, and his limbs, back, and forehead have white water and flame patterns. The patterns on the body are not like natural growth, but like some kind of charm.

As Qilin lowered his head and showed it to the demon hunter, the thing that looked like a small raccoon was still listless and had its eyelids drooped.

He only raised his eyes to look at Lan En, then yawned again, yawned again.

Lan En stared at what looked like a little raccoon in amazement. He took out a teapot that matched the pattern on its body out of nowhere, leaned it against the pale horn on the unicorn's head, and poured it into his mouth happily. A sip of hot tea!

".Something is drinking tea on your head, Qilin!"

Lan En and Velvet Ball immediately pointed at Qilin's head and shouted in surprise.

"Xilulu?"

‘Really or falsely? ’ Qilin communicated through the [Yaxi Seal] variation, with doubts in his consciousness, “Flannel Ball said the same, but I can’t see or feel it! Is it really there? Is it really a ghost?!”

Qilin jumped to his feet anxiously, but according to Lan En's understanding of the world, people with insufficient inspiration or ancient dragons from the New World should not be able to see this thing.

After seeing what looked like a little raccoon sitting on Qilin's head drinking tea, Lan En's eyes turned to the flannel ball that had jumped to the ground.

"nya?nya!"

A crisp and soft sound sounded.

The flannel ball was running in circles on the ground holding the kitten's helmet, while something that also made a cat sound rolled behind it as if it was very happy.

Lan En bent down and picked up the calico kitten running past him.

The kitten and the witcher lowered their heads at the same time, looking at the thing that was just under the ball of flannel held up by Lan En.

That's a big fluffy cat ball!

From time to time, a halo of halo shone on and around the body, about the size of a basketball.

There are also three colors, but the body is round and you can’t even see the limbs of the cat!

And the eyes are so big that they are even closer to cartoon proportions than the flannel ball!

Lan En and the flannel ball he was holding looked at each other, and then they both looked down at the big cat ball that was still shouting ‘nya! nya!’ and seemed to think that it was playing with someone.
