Infinite Clone System Chapter 14: Before entering
In the middle of the night, the sky was drizzling and a cool breeze was blowing.
In a port on the southern edge of the country of fire, a tower stands quietly on the shore. The strong light from above is like a sharp sword, piercing into the depths of the darkness, and shining like a thin needle of rain.
Beside the dock building below, there are more than a dozen ninjas standing on the shore, each holding an umbrella, so that the small raindrops slapped on it.
Orochimaru stood at the front, with an umbrella in one hand and the other in his pocket, quietly looking into the distance. In this dark night, the deep darkness could not block his sight. The sea surface is slightly undulating, and the silver threads falling from the sky connect the sea surface and the sky.
In the distance, he can see three ships breaking through the slight wind and waves, thinking about the pier moving forward, the distance between them is rapidly pulling in, which is definitely not something that can be achieved by the ship itself speed.
It should be some kind of word spirit that accelerated the sailing of the ship. Orochimaru is not very familiar with the so-called periodic table of word spirits, so I'm not sure whether it has the ability to achieve similar effects.
Behind him, Konoha's group of Joinin, Yuhi Kane, Moonlight Gale, Shisui, Hyuga Risari and others stood silently behind Orochimaru, all holding umbrellas.
They also saw the three ships that were becoming more and more obvious on the sea, one of which was a half-blood, and the other two were the Kakashi and Asma fleets that were previously responsible for assistance.
"Ready to watch."
Orochimaru whispered
After the order, the ninjas quickly scattered around, standing on the shore separately, to eliminate any possible danger before it happened.
In addition to his side, the sea fleet was also cautious. They stopped when they were still a certain distance from the coast. There was no anchor for it to stop, but under the effect of some kind of word, it stopped. It just went up and down with the waves without any drastic movement.
A lifeboat or two was lowered from the boat at this time, and the half-bloods jumped from it, ponchos, and rowed toward the shore in the wind and rain.
At first glance, Orochimaru didn't see the familiar Angers from above. This is also normal. In this case, it is better to use some sailors who are not very useful to find out the situation than the mixed-race high-level Angers. Heat and others appear in person to be able to preserve their strength to deal with possible dangers.
When the strong sailors rowed to the shore, Orochimaru nodded and asked, "When are you going to continue?"
"Mr. Henkel said that the repair will take about an hour, and then we will take a boat to the entrance of Nibelungen, and hope that you will honor our agreement at that time."
"Naturally, we have been looking forward to this mission for a long time."
Confirmed that there is no problem here, the sailors made some kind of gestures on the boat, and one of them gave out intermittent strong lights, the frequency was three long and two short, after this, the boat that stayed on the sea began to Continue sailing, and soon approach the shore.
Fix the anchor, and the people on the boat began to descend one by one. Orochimaru watched. At the end, Angers and a rickety old man walked down the same line, knowing that the other person was Jiraiya Henkel has come back with a letter.
"Where's the corpse?"
The holy corpse refers to the body of Constantine, now housed in a golden coffin. In the previous exchange, they determined a rule, that is, the word Constantine is no longer mentioned in the ninja world.
Because language occupies a considerable part of the dragon's power system, the language of words used by hybrids today is the language of ancient dragons.
So they think that the four words Constantine will cause a bad change in the outside world to some extent, and this change may not attract attention in normal times, but at the moment they are beside them. Constantine's corpse, how they might react, amplify this force, and attract some people's attention.
Especially the attention of Norton, who is also the king of bronze and fire and brother of Constantine.
So, they refer to Constantine's corpse as a holy corpse.
Before, Orochimaru had not seen anyone bring down the golden coffin described in the letter.
And like these items, Orochimaru doesn't believe that Angers and Henkel can safely let them out of their sight.
Or, is there an anti-counterfeiting measure that reassures both of them?
The hybrids are still secretly dispatching masters?
"The location of the holy corpse is probably the safest place." Angers was still wearing his usual black suit. He held an umbrella in one hand, and the other hand seemed to be relaxed and upright.
"The alchemy item of the secret party, numbered 666, is the exclusive number of the legendary demon. Although I am not a member of the secret party, I have heard a little about this item."
Henkel did not bring an umbrella, nor did he share an umbrella with Angers. He was wearing a raincoat and his leather boots stepped on the rain-soaked ground, making a crisp sound.
He said in a slightly smiling tone, "In legend, anyone who touches the coffin will incur irreversible bad luck, and even just touching it will be in danger of death or even death within three days."
"If it's just like this, it's not enough to guarantee absolute safety." Orochimaru said
In other words, there is no security effect at all.
There are as many people in the world who are not afraid of death as there are people who are afraid of death. As long as a little benefit to them can make at least one third of the world's people willing to sacrifice their lives for this.
"Of course, but I won't know about it later." Henkel shrugged. "I'm not a member of the Secret Party after all."
"That's because..." Seeing what Henkel meant, Angers deliberately lengthened the volume, and then laughed
"Sorry, I forgot that there is also a big businessman Henkel who is working hard to maintain the economy for our secret party in the rear. If only Mr. Orochimaru is no problem, after all, in the previous two cooperation, I believe that we Friendship between them, it doesn't matter if I say 666 information, but this kind of information is often of great value, in front of a businessman, it's not in line with the rules for me to say it for free."
His almost undisguised taunt made Henkel froze, but the next moment returned to nature, he just sighed and said, "That's a pity, after all, even a businessman, there are things not just for value. And when you pay."
Orochimaru didn't listen to them anymore, he said indifferently, "Let's go back to the resting place first, there may be quite a long journey ahead for us to be nervous."
He turned to leave, and Angers and Henkel didn't catch up immediately. After looking at each other, they took steps at the same time, as if they had to keep walking side by side.
As Angers said before, he was uneasy about giving his back to Henkel.
………………
At this pier, Konoha temporarily built houses for the half-breeds and ninjas who came to rest at this moment.
This house is divided into two factions that oppose each other and are divided on the edge of the city, which is closer to the port from the city center, so that people who disembark can get a rest as soon as possible.
There is hot water in the house and some novels and comics for relaxation, and if you want more, you can go to a hotel called the Red Theater not far from here to find some women to relax yourself. body and mind.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in various port cities. After sailing on the sea for an unknown amount of time, the first thing that thirsty sailors do is often to go to similar places.
But at the moment these hybrids and ninjas are all elites, and their self-control is naturally not strong. Each of them entered the arranged room with an umbrella or raincoat, and drank a cup of warm-up hot tea.
The reason why it took so much effort to build these houses is mainly because Orochimaru feels that since he has the first opportunity to communicate with the world where the mixed race is located, there will undoubtedly be more in the future. At that time, the two parties may Will send fleets one after another to communicate with each other.
Then it's better to build such a complex in advance, both for the present and for the future, which just shows that Konoha attaches great importance to the hybrids.
"In our myths and legends, 666 symbolizes a devil, and the alchemical weapons named after this string of numbers are naturally extremely terrifying."
In Orochimaru's room, Angers rudely poured himself a cup of hot tea, then leaned back on the chair and said comfortably, "In addition to the effects Henkel said before, he also has the same The ability to connect the soul of the contractor, the devil, is so good at using the soul and the contract."
"With the help of this contract, I can see everything around '666', and I can transfer myself and the surrounding space there in an instant, that is to say, whether I take '666' and the holy wreck off the ship, yes Not much difference."
There was no Henkel in the room, so Angers explained the effect of the golden coffin, and after finishing speaking, he added, "Originally, the elders said that they could inform Henkel of the effect of '666', but I I don't have much affection for them, and if it's not really necessary, I don't bother to mention it to them."
He lifted the teacup lazily, then blew it on his lips, as if he couldn't wait to add some water.
When Angers finished speaking, Orochimaru nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "That guy is really dangerous."
He sensed the terrifying power contained in Henkel's squat and short figure, and it was no wonder that even Angers was so afraid of each other.
"At the time there was a world war in our world, and it didn't involve the Dragon King, it was purely a war between our hybrids. Although I don't want to admit it, we may not be as good as Han in dealing with hybrids. Raise them."
"Slightly heard." Judging from the combination of previous information, it should be the Angers side and the Henkel side who joined forces between the mixed races at that time to fight against the forces of the previous Qibukai member Uesugoshi.
Anger said with emotion, "We originally joined forces, and victory was inevitable, but in order to accelerate the arrival of victory, Henkel and the others secretly developed an extremely terrifying killer."
"At the end of the war, the research and development of the big killer was completed, and they put it into the other side's hometown. At that moment, it was like a million suns rising, and a blazing fire was like the destruction of the dragon king. It was like a spirit of words that lasted for a long time, and the huge mushroom cloud almost enveloped the entire Sheqi Bajia, and I don't know how many hybrids died because of this."
Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled sarcastically, "I said something useless for a long time, really... Sometimes I wonder, am I really old when I am over a hundred years old? I heard people It will become long-winded when you get old."
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "As far as I know, your hybrids have a high advantage over ordinary humans in terms of life expectancy."
"No matter how superior it is, it is rare to be more than 100 years old. After all, the longer you live, the more you lose and the more you fight. In this war that will never stop, I have seen too many people. An old man who voluntarily died. At that time, in the land of water, Uesugi Yue had the strength to break through the siege, but he chose to perish with a noble next-generation species at the cost of his own life."
His words were filled with emotion. Perhaps in such a sentence, he had lost many friends, and he did not know how much of his own emotions were contained in this sentence.
Orochimaru doesn't understand this feeling, but just echoed "This is normal. If you continue to live, you will suffer more hardships~IndoMTL.com~ Then it is normal to choose to give up."
"Hehe, I sometimes think, maybe I also lack a little motivation to continue living?" Angers chuckled and shook his head with a smile, "But that kind of motivation should never appear. Good on me. If the God of Fate was listening to our conversation just now, I beg you to cut off the previous paragraph."
It feels like you just set something up...
I'm used to seeing a lot on the battlefield. Before I die, I'll go back to my hometown to get married."My child is about to be born.""What's the sound, I'll take a look at the ninjas with such words, Orochi Maru thinks that what Anger said just now can also be classified into it.
…………
Getting rid of some thoughts in my mind, Orochimaru continued to speak with that calm look
"The area we're going to this time is directly Cassel Manor?"
Assuming that the tea is no longer as hot as it was at first, Angers took a sip to try the temperature, and then said, "Yes, don't you have our token in your hand? With that badge, Nibelung The Gate of Roots will instantly teleport you to the entrance of the manor, which is a privilege that Menek specially opened, which can facilitate us a lot, at least save a considerable part of the journey.”
"Who will be there?" Orochimaru needs to assess the combat effectiveness of his side at that time. Although from the previous communication with Norton, it seems that the Dragon King may not have the intention of making a move, but he can't help it.
"Lord Mayek, Viscount Charlotte, Marquis Gambett, these are the three elders of our secret party, besides the first time there is the current leader of the secret party, Menec Cassel, and the Lionheart he led. Yes, other than that, it's us."
He took a sip of his tea and added, "Of course, I'm a Lionheart myself."
