(Two chapters in one)

Chino's argument to Baixa was that the men were wanted, and he couldn't directly say that they were visitors from outside the world—because in the eyes of the world, he was just a Doguland administrator.

How would an administrator, in Twilight, know that there is a group of visitors from outside the world in a town hundreds of miles away? This is difficult to explain, and if someone asks, it can attract unnecessary malice.

Therefore, he can only deal with this matter coldly for the time being, and wait for some disturbances from visitors from outside the world before he can use his connections and military power openly.

Now it's time for dinner, and Chino comes to the restaurant to eat, and while eating, there is a conversation between Lugo and his companion next to him:

"I heard that there is an onmyoji on the Avenue of the Night's Watch?"

"That's right! I happened to pass by there when I was on patrol in the morning, and you didn't see it, the eyes, the lips, the chin... What a beauty! I want to take a sip! ”

"Why is there such a sudden visit, is it from Gyeonggi?"

"Yes, I'm from Gyeonggi, wearing a one-clawed golden dragon robe, and it's said that my status is about the same as that of our main city-level eight-rank official... Tut-tut, this kind of big person, I can only think about it in my head, and I can't climb high in reality. ”

"Grandma, there are so many beautiful girls in this world, why can't the gods give me one?"

"Lord Lugo, aren't you courting that waitress named Ann?"

"Hey,! Don't mention her, upset. ”

...

The conversation between the two attracts Chino's attention.

Onmyoji...

Chino had read from books before that Onmyoji was a professional system of the Far Eastern Dynasty, mastering the art of the five elements of Yin and Yang, using charms to practice, and having a high social status, people often asked Onmyoji to pray for blessings and remove spirits.

In times of war, these Onmyoji can also form extremely powerful ranged kill units, similar to the Soul Mages of the Eric family in the Kingdom of Doguland.

This year is the year 513 of the Huoyao calendar, and the bloody "Laurel War" ended in the 486th year of the Huoyao calendar, and the relationship between the Dogurand Kingdom and the Far Eastern Dynasty has been relatively stable in recent years, not to mention how harmonious, at least the exchange of trade and talents has been restored, and the entry and exit vouchers of the personnel on both sides have also been simplified a lot, and the exchanges are very convenient.

Twilight was also frequented by people from the Far Eastern Empire, some merchants, some immigrants, and simply tourists.

However, this time there was actually an onmyoji wearing a one-clawed golden dragon robe, which was really quite rare, at least for the first time in Chino's tenure.

And Lugo also mentioned that this is a big beauty.

Female...

From Gyeonggi...

From Shirim Town to Gyeonggi, if there are no horse bandits on the road, and if you are not detained by border guards, the normal speed is only 10 to 15 days round trip.

Jenny's petition mentions that the woman in the mask and Dontes have been away for 12 days...

"Lugo." Chino looked back and asked, "Do you want to see that Onmyoji?" ”

Lugo laughed, "Of course." ”

Chino wiped his mouth with a napkin, got up and said, "Let's go together." ”

The two left the Executive's Mansion and boarded the carriage to Night's Watch Boulevard.

It was already a sea of people, and civilians gathered here, probing their brains, scrambling to look ahead, and whispering kept coming:

"Why are there so many people, I can't even squeeze in!"

"No way, Onmyoji, it's still a big beauty, who doesn't want to see it?"

"I just want to do a trigram, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not."

"No, no, there won't be anyone who doesn't like beauties, right?"

"You say, how powerful is this Onmyoji?"

"It is said that this kind of person has the power of yin and yang, can know the past, can also predict the future, and completely see through your fate."

"So scary?! Then I went out yesterday with my wife on my back... Ahem, I suddenly remembered that something was wrong, so I left first. ”

...

Chino didn't take these gossips to heart, because he didn't believe that Onmyoji had the ability to see through the past and the future.

"Knowing the past" is not impossible, the right intelligence plus psychological profiling can indeed know a person's past.

But "predicting the future" is nonsense.

The future is a vast chaotic system, uncertain, unrepeatable, and unpredictable.

Although this world has different basic rules from previous lives, it is beyond human power to "predict the future".

If even a small onmyoji could predict the future, would the Far Eastern Dynasty still fight Dogulander in the "Laurel War"?

This is clearly exaggerated after word of mouth.

Chino didn't disturb everyone, he and Lugo were both wearing cloaks, and there happened to be a tavern next to them, so the two of them chartered a room with an observation deck on the second floor to observe the Onmyoji from above.

The location of the room chosen by Chino is very good, and you can see each other's faces directly.

This is a classical woman with a beautiful appearance, slender and slender, and the noble one-claw golden dragon robe perfectly fits the curves of the delicate body, shining under the light of the dome sun.

Seeing this, Lugo immediately whistled excitedly: "Sure enough, it's a big beauty!" Not to mention, this golden robe is so beautiful on her! But it's definitely prettier if you don't wear it, hey, hey, hey..."

Chino ignored the obscene guy, but silently stared at the one-clawed golden dragon robe, his eyes blinked and then opened, his pupils contracted rapidly under his conscious control, and the sight distance continued to push forward.

Pertheus rewarded him with 100 golden moons, and he took them to buy a bottle of 2-star Eagle Eye Potion, which greatly enhanced his static and dynamic vision, and as long as his pupils were focused, he could even see a mosquito a hundred meters away.

Chino's gaze swept over the golden dragon robe with one claw, and the embroidery pattern was included in the pupil, and then landed on the nameplate on the onmyoji's waist, through the details of the manufacturing process, it can be determined that this is real, it should not be an imitation.

Chino narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Her dress and nameplate are really new, there are no stains or signs of wear, it is like she just made it yesterday." ”

Lugo was a little puzzled, and looked forward: "Nameplate... What nameplate? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Is Chino-sama also interested in yin-yang arts?" Suddenly, an old voice rang out from the side.

Chino looked at the observation deck next door, "I'm still wondering when you'll show up, Lord Emer." ”

I saw a hunchbacked old man standing next door, wearing a black lily embroidered with mysterious runes, the wrists exposed under the sleeves were as thin as firewood, the conspicuous green tendons were entwined like earthworms, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were sunken, so deep that he seemed to be able to accommodate a handful of loess.

After the Twilight bombing, Emeric Eric was appointed by the Governor's Office as the new "Ombudsman" to supervise the discipline and work style of the remaining eight officials.

Don't look at Emo like dry wood, as if he will fall when the wind blows, he is the "soul crossing" of the third sequence of the Eric family, and he has mastered the ever-changing soul arts.

Soul art, which is said to be created by the Sun King by dividing a wisp of divine soul, can be understood as "magic", but in some or movies, magic often consumes mana, and soul magic consumes the soul of the caster.

For this so-called "soul", because the laws of the world are different, Chino can't explain it with the modern knowledge of his previous life, he just learned from relevant books that the more powerful the soul technique used by the soul magician, the more souls are consumed, and the greater the damage to the soul.

Moreover, this damage is irreversible, unlike mana, which the soul cannot recover over time or with potions.

This also means that whether it is a high-level soul technique or a low-level soul technique, as long as it is used, the soul will be permanently damaged, and once the damage accumulates beyond the critical value, it will become dementia, or cause more deadly consequences.

Therefore, each soul magician must train a large number of slaves, and master the art of "soul draining", and replace their own souls with the souls of slaves when casting spells, so as to avoid soul damage.

At the same time, throughout the kingdom of Dogulander, the Eric family is also the royal family with the largest slave population.

Ai Mo looked at the onmyoji and said profoundly: "I have already inquired, her name is Lu Yutian, the one-clawed golden dragon of the Far Eastern Dynasty, and she works for the Gyeonggi Yin-Yang Division. I heard that these onmyoji can know the past and future of people, what does Chino-sama think? ”

Chino said calmly, "If you want me to say, this is just an exaggeration by word of mouth. For eternal time, we should maintain the most basic reverence. ”

Emmer's gaze whispered to the crowd and said meaningfully, "But I've heard that many of the people who go to the fortune teller feel that this onmyoji can tell their life and past—even if they didn't know each other before. ”

"Many times, if you want to know a person's life experience and past, you don't need to rely on the so-called yin-yang technique." Chino looked at the customer who was asking for a hexagram and smiled, "If you don't believe it, I'll do the same thing, how about it?" ”

Ai Mo was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "You also know yin and yang arts?" ”

Chino didn't answer directly, but looked at the man who was asking for a hexagram, observed for a moment, and said lightly: "This man is a businessman with a lot of money, a civilian background, he has never read, he has served in the army, he is from the northern province of Tayu, and his parents have passed away. ”

Emme and Lugo glanced at each other and began to listen to Lu Yutian's answer.

Lu Yu sat in front of the gossip table, there were holy penny hexagrams representing yin and yang on the left and right, and the man paid 10 silver moons for the fortune calculation, so she took out a yellow charm from under her sleeve and pasted it on the hexagram plate on the table.

The spell spontaneously combusted without fire, flowing along the lines of the hexagram plate, shining, as if there was some kind of divine power.

Everyone waited with bated breath, and the needles could be heard all around.

Lu Yu poured his gaze at the burning hexagram and began to slowly state the information about the man, first telling his life experience—not much different from what Chino said—and then telling the man that something good would happen next, and he would be lucky.

The man was overjoyed when he heard this, clumsily thanked her, and then gave her an extra 10 silver moons as a thank you fee, and got up to leave.

When Lugo saw this scene, he couldn't help but gasp: "You really said it, how did you know?" Could it be that he really knows yin and yang? ”

Chino shook his head and said, "It's not some yin-yang technique, it's an observation with the naked eye." ”

"This man has a lot of expensive ornaments, but he is extremely rustic, which is a typical characteristic of a non-aristocratic businessman - rich, but with low taste."

"He walked with his head held high and had a habit of holding his waist in his hands — full of traces of military training."

"There are common mistakes in grammar and diction when speaking – no formal education."

"The temperature is lower during the drip season, but he wears very little – which shows that he is used to the cold and comes from the north. Combined with the accent, it must be a feather province. ”

"As for the fact that his parents have passed away - he is at least 50 years old, how many parents are still alive at this age?"

Lugo was stunned when he heard this, and Emmo smiled: "No wonder they say that your eyes can penetrate people's hearts, and today I finally understand the meaning of this sentence." ”

Lugo asked, "Then she later said that this man will have good things in the future, and fortune will be repeated." Do you see this? ”

Chino looked at Lugo with a retarded look: "After she said this, what did the man do?" ”

Lugo: "Another 10 Silver Moons." ”

Chino: "If she tells him that you're going to be doomed, your family is ruined, you're hopeless, go home and die, goodbye—do you think she'll still get the 10 Silver Moons as thank-you money?" ”

Lugo immediately reacted, laughed and patted his head.

Aimo also smiled, but his words were still full of deep meaning: "Lord Chino knows people's hearts, but I still have to remind you that the Onmyoji of the Far Eastern Dynasty are not philistine liars, they do master the terrifying Yin-Yang Technique.

"I still remember the Laurel War in 486 of the Huoyao calendar, when the onmyoji wearing a four-clawed golden dragon robe laid down the "Immortal Killing Array" on the main battlefield, and our 4 full legions were directly trapped and died in the formation, and no one survived in the whole army."

Lugo exclaimed, "4 full legions? That's at least 30,000 people! ”

Emo said silently: "This is why the royal family now has a rule that each legion must be equipped with a psychologist from the Eric family. Only our soul art can compete with yin and yang arts. ”

Chino thought for a moment and said, "Lugo, anyway, you're very interested in this woman, why don't you go and calculate a hexagram too?" I'll reimburse you for the money spent. ”

Lugo had this idea for a long time: "No problem, I'll go!" ”

Chino: "Remember to ask harsh questions and make things difficult for her." ”

Lugo: "I understand. ”

After Lu Ge went downstairs, he separated the crowd and swaggered towards Lu Yutian.

As soon as everyone saw the captain coming, they gave way.

Lu Yu looked at Lu Ge and showed a friendly smile: "Hello, Captain Security. ”

Lugo was stunned: "How do you know I'm the captain of the sheriff?" ”

Lu Yutian: "You are wearing a position badge on your chest. ”

Lu Ge looked down, scolded and took off the security captain badge, put it in his arms, and then put 10 silver moons on the table, shook his legs, and said with a ruffian face: "Great beauty, how about a hexagram for your brother Lugo?" ”

Lu Yu poured down the silver moon and asked, "What do you want to know?" ”

Lugo sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and deliberately showed a disdainful expression: "In my opinion, you onmyoji are all liars. If you want to refute me, do you dare to guess my background? ”

The crowd whispered, waiting for Lu Yutian's answer.

Lu Yutian took out the charm, lit it on the hexagram plate, looked at the flames and said: "You used to be a mercenary, you grew up on the street since you were a child, you never saw your parents, and later you were favored by the superiors, and you fought side by side with him, born and died together, and you are very appreciated. ”

Lugo cut off, shook his legs and said, "You know I'm a mercenary because my tone of voice and behavior are very ruffian. And most of us are bastards who grew up on the street and have no parents or parents. As for the things where I fought side by side with the superiors - wild dog-like mercenaries can be mixed into the main city-level eight-rank officials, and they must have an excellent relationship with the superiors, and fighting side by side, birth and death is the fastest way to accumulate favorability. ”

At the observation deck, Chino couldn't help but sigh when he heard Lugo's words, this guy is a pretty fast learner.

Seeing that Lu Yu fell silent, Lu Ge said triumphantly: "Great beauty, what's wrong?" Speechless? Actually, I really don't want to tear down your stage, but you rely on these little tricks, you can collect so many silver moons with a random calculation, this kind of barbaric wealth accumulation, I can't ignore it as the captain of the security guard! ”

Lu Yutian was still staring at the flames, with the burning hexagram reflected in his pupils, and said faintly: "Actually, I still see a lot of things, some of the things you have done before. But I thought it was better not to talk about these things, so I didn't say it. ”

Lugo frowned, he had done a lot of bad things when he was a mercenary before, many of which were angry and resentful, and if these things were picked up, I am afraid it would be disgusting.

But he turned to think to himself, Lao Tzu is now looking for information for the administrator, if he is disgusted, he will be disgusted, a few little civilians are disgusted with me, can Lao Tzu be missing a piece of meat?

Besides, who knows if she's an alarmist or not? Maybe it's going to scare people!

Thinking of this, Lugo said with a nonchalant face: "You say, say whatever you want, say whatever you want." ”

Lu Yu poured out a mysterious smile: "Are you sure?" ”

Lugo shouted impatiently: "If you have something to say, hurry up!" Pretend to be a ghost again, be careful that I confiscate your hexagram table! ”

Lu Yutian coughed lightly and said slowly: "Yesterday, you failed to confess to a tavern waiter, her name is An. ”

Lu Ge was shocked when he heard this, when he confessed to An, there was no outsider next to him, why did this onmyoji know?

Could it be that Ann told her? It's impossible!

The more terrifying thing was still to come, only to hear Lu Yutian continue: "After the failure of the confession, you were very sad, hiding in your room alone, drinking a lot of wine, and then shouting Ann's name, while..."

Lu Yutian stretched out his little hand, clenched his fist, and moved up and down a few times.

After a brief silence, everyone understood the action, and the crowd erupted in earth-shattering laughter.

Lugo's blood rushed to his head, his face turned red and turned the color of pig liver, and the whole person jumped up, and he spoke incoherently: "No, wait, no, you, huh??? How do you know??? ”
