Three Hundred and Twenty-Six. [All Quiet in Spring]

It took a while to persuade the police comrades to leave. Under Lu Jian's supervision, the cleaning employee spent three hours cleaning Lu Jian's room.

The fee is one hundred and five yuan.

Cheap and affordable.

Lu Tian decided to find another one next time.

By the time he finished cleaning, it was already evening. Lu Tan ate something casually, thinking that there was no way to sleep in bed anyway, so he might as well complete the task.

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Tian checked what he was carrying.

Radio, suona, crowbar, some compressed dry food, canned food, and of course, red leaf crystals.

On the wall, three windows appeared again.

Lu Tiao pushed open the last door.

The falling cherry blossoms intertwined in the blue sky, forming the cold and indifferent text of the system.

【All Quiet in Spring】

[The miko of Wajima Taisha Shrine is about to step down, and the new miko will inherit her mantle and bathe in the pure fire]

[However, not every shrine maiden can enter the shrine and visit the gods, competition is everywhere]

[A miko known as a genius is preparing to travel across the ocean to Japan. She seems to exist just to become the officiating miko. She is a miko among mikos, but the officiating miko means power. The entanglement between family and politics can sometimes It affects the judgment of gods, and genius should not appear sometimes]

[You have taken on the task of protecting the miko to Wajima. Along the way, what is more dangerous than filth is the human heart. It is a long road, but only the falling cherry blossoms and the clear sea water will not betray you. 】

[Task Difficulty: Optional]

[Task requirement: Escort the shrine maiden to Wajima Taisha Shrine]

[Task requirement: Witness the birth of the new officiating witch]

["My thoughts have been forgotten, and only my body remains. Could it be your relic?"]

"A clear escort mission."

This type of task is actually a bit difficult for Lu Jian.

Due to some well-known reasons, the survival rate of Lu Tan's teammates is not high. Except for Drizzt, Shia and others who are also chosen by God, basically all the companions in the foreign land will die over and over again. Even those who can successfully die are counted. Fortunately, success is considered a success if you don't turn into a monster.

Therefore, if you bring a drag bottle this time, it is best to choose a lower difficulty.

Lu Tiao clicked on the difficulty and took a look. The [Mortal] difficulty was naturally black. Not only the [Mortal] difficulty, but also the [Pollution] and [Erosion] difficulties were black.

Only [Alienation] difficulty can be selected.

"???"

Is there a bug in this mission?

Lu Tiao checked again.

"Oh, I'll just say it."

Lu Tiao finally discovered the problem. In addition to the [Alienation] difficulty, there are still other difficulty levels that can be chosen.

Next to the [Alienation] difficulty, there are higher difficulty options, but since Lu Tiao has not been unlocked, it cannot be selected.

"So considerate."

Lu Tan sighed.

He can only choose [Alienation] difficulty.

With tears in my eyes, I earned hundreds of thousands of silence points.

[Whether to enter a quiet place]

【whether】

Lu Tan chose [Yes].

The window suddenly opened, and Lu Tiao felt a gust of warm wind.

His whole body was sucked into the window.

Purple light lingered around Lu Jiao, making him feel top-heavy, as if he had been thrown into an infinitely rotating wheel. Countless light points formed a starry sky picture in the universe on his retina. Suddenly, some kind of soft whisper When it reached Lu Kan's ears, it was like weeping and complaining, like some kind of resentful wail.

[The flow rate of time in the Quiet Place is inconsistent with the outside world]

【Number of Travelers: 0】

【On the way to Wajima】

When his feet felt the earth again, Lu Tiao smelled the faint fragrance of flowers.

The chirping of birds and the warm spring breeze reached his ears, and Lu Tan seemed to hear someone speaking.

"...Please don't have too many unnecessary interactions with her. Of course, our guards will also take care of her. You are just responsible for guiding the way."

An older woman's voice came, causing Lu Tiao to turn his face.

He saw a face full of wrinkles.

The old woman's hair was completely white and was tied into a bun. She was wearing dark blue satin clothes. She was holding a cigarette in her hand. She took two puffs and exhaled gray mist.

"I see."

Lu Tan heard the response from the people around him. It seemed that he had fast-forwarded to the time when the journey was about to start.

Next to him, there was an older woman sitting. She was wearing black coarse clothes. There were several strands of white hair between the woman's black hair, which looked like highlights. She was about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, and there was a trace between her eyebrows. He has a heroic spirit, like an experienced hunter or warrior.

In the woman's hand lay a long knife in a scabbard.

The knife was very long, exceeding the length that Lu Jian usually thought of as a sword. It was like a clothes pole, which formed a sharp contrast with the woman's body shape.

"Since we are bound by words and spirits, we will naturally not do anything that violates our oath. I just wonder if we can have a few words with her. I think getting to know each other will be more helpful for this journey, right?"

The woman asked. She didn't take the old woman's statement too seriously. In fact, she didn't show any humility or submission, more like a dominant winner.

"...She is practicing today. You can see her in the side hall after it is over."

After saying that, the old woman knocked on her cigarette rod and signaled the two of them to leave.

Lu Tan followed the woman, and he found that his clothes had turned into similar coarse cloth, and all the props were put in the package he carried with him. It seemed that the level difference between him and the island could be seen from his clothes. .

The old woman was wearing silk and satin, while the guard next to her was wearing coarse linen. The woman and Lu Jian were slightly better, but it was only an improvement in shape.

"She believes that as long as her granddaughter can become the officiating shrine maiden, her family can also enter the core of Wajima's political circle."

The woman said to Lu Tian after leaving the room and the guards.

"Of course, many people don't want to see the officiating witch as someone who is not within their own sphere of influence. This is where the dispute begins."

"Shouldn't the officiating miko rely on her strength?"

Lu Tran asked. He loosened his collar. Hejima was very warm in spring, but the coarse cloth was not breathable.

The woman turned back and glanced at Lu Tan with a slight smile.

"These officials are not so naive. Indeed, the officiating miko needs to rely on her strength to stand out. In fact, being able to enter Wajima Grand Shrine and become a candidate has already gone through a lot of games and compromises. Wajima's major families will not allow it. Those who transcend their control become miko-sama.”

"What about us now?"

Lu Tan thought that this was similar to the general elections in some countries around the world. It seemed very fierce, but in fact it was the result of games and compromises between the big companies and capital behind it.

"This is the variable. The miko here is said to be extremely talented. She had a special celestial phenomenon when she was born. She seems to be the destined next chief priest. The only flaw is that she and her family have been outside the core power circle for a long time. "

The woman and Lu Tiao came to the side hall and waited. Lu Tiao roughly figured out that the woman's name was Chang Pu, she was a famous mercenary in the sea, and he was one of Chang Pu's subordinates.

After waiting for a while, just when Lu Tian had drank two cups of tea and wanted to go to the bathroom, a maid walked into the room.

"Miss is here."

she said.
