I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"Ahem."

Chepke coughed softly.

After hearing Chepke's coughs, everyone present stopped talking and turned to look at Chepke.

"Many of you should be very puzzled: why should I propose to belong to Heyezhe."

After everyone in the room calmed down, Chepke said slowly.

"I will tell you the reasons one by one now."

"First of all--I just said that the white-skinned people who ran away might bring people to retaliate in the future."

"With us now, there is no way to fight against those white-skinned people."

Hearing this sentence from Chepke, some people showed a rather unhappy expression.

But they only showed their displeasure, but they did not refute Chepke.

Everything they experienced last night had already made them fully appreciate-how powerful these white-skinned people are.

"For us now, if we want to avoid another attack by the white-skinned people, the best choice is to belong to a powerful settlement."

"Although Kuma Village and other villages are not weak villages, in comparison, Heyezhe's strength is stronger."

"Heyezhe sits in the camp left by the white-skinned people." Chepke continued, "and there are many people and strong strength. If you choose to join them, it is undoubtedly the safest."

"Secondly-I have some personal relations with Chanupu of Heyezhe, and since the establishment of Heyezhe, he has always taken in those desolate settlements."

"More than a year ago, we just took in a group of settlements that were defeated in the war with the Japanese."

"If I come to Heyzhe in person to discuss the attachment matters with Chanup, there will be a high success rate."

"I believe that Chanup, who is in charge of the entire Heyce, will definitely agree to let us live in Heyce in China Village."

Chepke succinctly explained the reason for his proposal to "belong to Heyezhe".

The atmosphere on the scene fell into silence.

Everyone look at me, I look at you.

In the end—an old man sitting beside Chepke whispered.

"Submitted to Heyezhe... Our village must be subject to a lot of restrictions, and can no longer be as free as it is now..."

The words of the old man made the atmosphere a little more "heavy" on the basis of "silence".

"...There is no other way." Chepke put his hands on his chest, lowered his head and whispered softly, "Without freedom, it's better than being attacked by a white man..."

"...The white-skinned people may not come again." Someone sneered.

"The white-skinned people do not necessarily come back." Chepke said, "but I don't want to bet on this possibility."

After that, Chepke scanned the faces of everyone in front of him.

"How? Is there anyone who agrees to my plan to attach to "He Yezhe"?"

"...I agree." Manakl, who basically wears the same pants as Chepke, said first. "As Chepke said, now it belongs to Heyzhe. It is the best for us. The safest choice."

After Manakel spoke, consent sounded in twos and threes.

Suddenly, someone yelled suddenly as if thinking of something.

"That's right!" the man said excitedly, "how about we try to keep the Majima Goro in our village?"

"Let him marry a girl from our village, or some other method."

"That Goro Mashima has such a great skill, if he can stay in our village..."

Before the man had finished speaking, Chepke said with a wry smile:

"I had thoughts like this before."

"I went to Goro Majima this morning and asked him if he wants to stay in our village."

"It's a pity-he has no idea of ​​staying in our village at all."

Chepke's voice fell, and the head of the person who had just suggested that Ogata stay in the village immediately drooped down like dried flowers.

"Are there anyone who agrees to'belong to Heyezhe'?" Chepke scanned the faces of everyone present again.

In the end-most of the people chose to nod their heads.

"That's good," Chepke said softly. "This kind of thing can't be delayed."

"If the white-skinned people who ran away really plan to bring people to retaliate again, God knows when they will come again."

"I will leave for Heyzhina today to talk to Chanup."

【Ding! Defeat the enemy with the second sword flow and circulation of the selfless]

[Get 90 points of personal experience, 90 points of experience of swordsmanship "Selfless Two Swords"]

[Current personal level: lv38 (0/6000)]

【Second Sword Flow Level of No Self: Level 11 (11180/12000)】

【Ding! When the experience value is full, the personal level will be increased by 1, and the skill point will be gained 1 point]

[Currently remaining skill points: 3 points]

After Dashaten's scabbard touched Skulucci's belly, the system prompt sounded in Ogata's mind.

——Oh, it just happened to be upgraded.

Defeating Skulucci, Ogata's personal level gained 90 experience points. I just went from level 37 to level 38 and gained 1 experience point.

Counting the 2 points saved before, Ogata currently has 3 skill points.

——Skill points are really getting harder and harder...

After whispering a word of helplessness in his heart, Ogata took his scabbard back.

"It's amazing." Skulucci lifted his stabbing sword upside down, and then clapped his hands. "I'm convinced of the loss. I didn't make any reservations just now, but you seem to be comfortable."

As Ogata and Skulucci salute each other, Amachi is happily dividing up the belongings.

Because there are fewer people betting on Ogata to win, and more people betting on Skulucci to win, so everyone who bet on Ogata's win gets a lot of money.

Ah Ding has no interest in those Lucia coins. She is only interested in two things-an exotic knife and a weird toy the size of a slap.

That toy is a wooden doll.

After Ah Ding picked up the wooden doll out of curiosity, an enthusiastic guy showed A Ding how to play the toy.

It turns out that this wooden doll is hollow.

After opening the head of the wooden doll, there was a doll with exactly the same style, but one inch smaller.

Then the head of this small one-inch doll was big armored, and inside it was another one-inch smaller doll.

This wooden doll with the size of a palm contains 7 smaller and smaller dolls of the same style.

After watching this enthusiastic guy demonstrate how to play this toy, Ah Ding became more interested in this toy.

So-Amachi only took the knife and that weird toy, and rushed to Ogata happily to show Ogata the two things she had just won.

"Look!" Ah Ding said, "I just won."

"Gambling is good occasionally, but don't be too addicted, and don't bet too much money." Ogata said to Amachi in a tone of blame.

Ogata doesn't like gambling, and has always been somewhat resistant to gambling.

This kind of destined result cannot be called a gambling-Ah Ting whispered in his heart.

Considering that if he said this sentence, he might make Skulucci feel unhappy, so Acho chose to just say this sentence in his heart.

"Huh? What is this?" Ogata noticed the weird toy in Amachi's hands at this time.

"This toy is played like this." After all, Amachi showed Ogata how to play this toy.

After seeing the smaller wooden doll hidden in this wooden doll, Ogata secretly said in his heart:

——Isn't this a Russian doll?

In Ogata’s previous life, most people who knew nothing about Russia knew this famous toy.

Skulucci, who was still standing in front of Ogata, said to Amachi at this time:

"This is a very famous toy in the country of Lucia. It's called a'matte doll'. It's our very famous toy. It's famous and even exported to other countries in large quantities."

Skulucci picked up the scabbard that had just been thrown aside, and then said to Ogata:

"Mr. Majima, thank you for your teaching just now. It's been a long time since I met someone with such a great swordsmanship like you."

"With your skill, when you arrive in Europa, you will surely become a sought-after item in every country!"

"The more I think about it, the more it feels unimaginable. In this desolate area where nothing but snow is snow, I can meet a master like you by chance."

"It's like finding an egg in a pile of chicken poop--and it's the kind of egg with two yolks."

Listening to Skulucci's weird metaphor, Ogata couldn't help but laugh.

"If it's not for finding someone, I wouldn't want to come to this wilderness."

Ogata’s words are true.

In such underdeveloped areas in the wilderness and ridges, there are no large cities like Edo and Kyoto to live in comfortably.

If it weren't for Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen, Ogata felt that he would never set foot on Ezo for the rest of his life.

"Speaking of finding someone..." A smile appeared on Skulucci's face, "I am also hiring like you..."

"Last night when I was going to tell you the name of the Kazuto I was looking for, I was forced to interrupt my conversation because the village next to him was raided."

"I haven't told you what the name of the person I am looking for is."

"Mr. Mashima, are you free next?"

"I want to ask if you have heard the name of the person I am looking for."

"We have nothing to do in a hurry next." Ogata said, "but I don't think you should place too much hope on us. My wife and I are both people with very poor news, even if you are looking for it now. What kind of celebrity is that person? Neither I nor my wife have ever heard of his name."

"It's okay." Skulucci waved his hand. "The clue is a magical thing. It often appears in some strange places and some unexpected people."

...

...

After Skulucci led Ogata and Amachi back to his camp, he walked quickly to the big sack placed in the corner of the tent, and then opened it.

"Ah, I'm so thirsty. Damn, where's my wine. Oh! I found it."

After yelling, Skulucci took out a **** bottle and a cup from the sack.

Skulucci poured the black and reddish liquid contained in the **** bottle into the glass and drank it happily.

"What is this?" Ah Ding cast a suspicious look at the **** bottle in Skulucci's hand.

"This is wine." Sculucci put down the cup in his hand and wiped his mouth. "Wine made from grapes. My bottle of wine is a good thing. It comes from Burgundy, France."

Ah Ding doesn't know where France is or what the wines from French Burgundy represent, but she is very interested in "wine".

"Wine made from grapes?" Ah Ding's eyes beamed.

In the Edo era when materials were scarce and the circulation of goods was inconvenient, grapes were veritable luxury goods. Only high-ranking officials had the financial resources and channels to buy grapes for consumption.

A mayor is so old that he only ate grapes once by chance.

The sweet and sour taste directly conquered Ah Ding's taste buds.

Unfortunately, since then, Ah Ding has never had the opportunity to eat grapes.

Wine made from sweet and sour grapes must be delicious—Acho imagined it so.

"Would you like to taste it?" Skulucci shook the bottle in his hand again. "If you want to taste it, you have to take out the glass yourself. I don't have any extra glasses here."

"Yes! I have a cup!"

Ah Ding took off a bamboo tube hanging around his waist.

This bamboo tube is a kettle carried by Acho, with two or three sip of water left in it.

After drinking all the water in the bamboo tube in one breath, Acho handed the bamboo tube to Skulucci.

Skulucci filled Amachi's bamboo tube in one breath, and then cast a questioning look at Ogata.

"Mr. Mashima, would you like to drink?"

"No." Ogata shook his head. "I won't drink anymore."

After all, Ogata turned his head slightly, watching Amachi's reaction secretly with a little expectation on his face.

Ogata is no stranger to wine.

In his previous life, Ogata had tasted the taste of wine.

He is extremely impressed with wine.

When he was young, he thought that the wine made from grapes would taste as sweet and sour as grapes, and it was very delicious.

It wasn't until the drink was taken that Ogata knew that he had been deceived by this very fraudulent name.

At that time, Ogata also posted on the Internet in a serious manner, searching for "why does wine have no grape flavor".

Ogata just noticed the way Amachi's eyes were shining.

So he dared to be sure-Ah Ting, who had never seen or drank wine, was definitely deceived by the name of wine like he was before.

But Ogata did not speak out to remind Amachi.

Instead, with the mentality of watching a good show and making fun of Amachi, she quietly looked at Amachi who brought back the bamboo tube filled with wine expectantly.

As soon as Ah Ding handed the bamboo tube to his mouth, his brows frowned slightly.

Because she found that the smell of this wine did not smell the sweetness of grapes.

Her movements became hesitant.

But in the end, she handed the bamboo tube to her mouth and poured the wine in the tube into her mouth.

The moment the drink entered his throat, Ah Ding instantly rounded his eyes, then raised his hand to cover his mouth, as if he was blocking his mouth to avoid the spout of the drink.

Seeing this situation, Ogata almost laughed, but fortunately, he managed to block the laughter in his throat by pinching his thigh and biting the lips on the inside of his mouth with his hands in time.

After forcibly swallowing the drink in his mouth, Ah Ting looked at the bamboo tube in his hand with an incredible appearance.

"Why doesn't this wine have a grape flavor?"

Ogata wanted to compliment Amachi very much: As expected of my wife.

The first reaction after drinking wine for the first time was exactly the same as him.

"I don't know why." Skulucci shrugged. "Although I love to drink, I have never understood what wine is made."

"If you are not used to it, pour it. Anyway, I have wine."

"That won't work..." Ah Ding muttered, "It would be too rude in that case."

After all, Ah Ding resisted the bitter taste of the wine and poured the wine in the bamboo tube into his mouth again.

As Amachi fought hard with wine, Ogata finally calmed down his smile and turned his attention to Skulucci.

"Skulucci, tell us, what is the name of the person you are looking for."

"I will try my best to help you imagine if you have heard this name in my previous life."

"The person you are looking for, who is yours?" Ah Ding, who is now bitter-faced, put down the bamboo tube with half of his drink in his hand, and asked Skulucci, "Listen to what Ayaka said before. Say, you seem to be looking for that person all the time."

"That person can be regarded as the person who has influenced my life." Sculucci's face slowly showed the color of memory, "If there were no him, maybe there would be no where I am today."

"I was born in a place called'Scotland'."

Skulucci placed the wine glass in his hand randomly, and then sat down on the hammock next to him.

"My hometown is a very poor place."

"My father died early, and my mother dragged me to grow up."

"Mother, he listened to other people's nonsense, and mistakenly believed that the Eastern European country of Lucia is a peaceful land where everyone can live and work in peace."

"So my mother tried her best to raise enough money and successfully led me from Scotland to Lucia in Eastern Europe."

"Ah, the so-called Eastern Europe, you can understand it as the eastern part of the Europa continent, you should all know where the Europa continent is?"

Ogata and Amachi nodded.

Although Ah Ding can't recognize the differences between England, Scotland, and France. But she still knew what the Europa continent was and where it was probably located.

"I found out after I came to Lucia-it's not as good as Scotland."

Skulucci shrugged.

"The level of security and peace alone is far inferior to Scotland."

"Not long after coming to Eastern Europe, my mother and I encountered a gang of horse thieves."

"To save me, my mother hid me, and then went to lead away the horse thieves alone."

"Since then. I have lived alone."

"Lucia has a peculiar class called'serf'."

"The so-called serfs are just as they are literally—slaves."

"The serfs were given a piece of land from the serf owners, and at the price they had to cultivate the land of the lord free of charge, perform all kinds of labor, and hand in most of the labor products."

"Being tied to the land and living a life similar to a slave, everyone calls him a serf."

"The serfs uprised in two days."

"The place where I was at that time was the hardest-hit area of ​​the uprising. Serfs started to make trouble at two ends of the day, and fighting flew every day.

"The real chaos and chaos has made me cheaper."

"My only means of accumulating money at that time was to steal those weapons on the battlefields that no one had cleaned up, and then sell them for resale."

"Not long after I started this kind of petty theft, I ran into that person..."

The color of memories on Skulucci's face grew stronger.

"He has adopted me for a while, but he has only adopted me for 3 months."

"Three months later, because I wanted to lose my face, I broke away from him, went to the Cossacks, and became a member of the Cossacks."

"By the way... I am 32 years old this year. I was 12 when I met and left that person."

"It was already 20 years ago."

"Twenty years have passed. Even if that person does not die, he might already have gray hair."

"Only staying with him for 3 months will keep you obsessed with him." Ading said, "It seems that your feelings for that person are really deep..."

"After all, it is the person who influenced my life." Skulucci smiled, "He is a swordsman from Far East Japan."

"He told me that he would definitely return to China in the future."

"The reason why I came to the Far East this time was actually I took the initiative to invite you."

"I came here to find him. See if he is alive or...dead."

"In order to find him more conveniently, I studied Japanese very hard."

"Twenty years ago, when he was parting, he gave me a small gift. And this small gift, I have always kept it. This is also a token of me and his."

After that, Skulucci put his hand into his arms and took out a neatly folded sheet of paper from his arms.

Skulucci unfolded the paper and handed it to Ogata.

"That person likes to paint. So when I was parting, he gave me this painting."

Ogata took the picture from Skulucci and took a closer look—then his expression froze.

At this time, Amachi also put his head over, looked at the painting, and then showed a very shocked expression like Ogata.

The reason why the two of them showed such expressions is not because of how beautiful the painting is.

But this painting is really hard to see the extreme.

The paper is severely yellowed, perhaps because of countless folds, and some small holes in the edges of the drawing paper have appeared.

In the center of the picture are two "alien".

These two "alien" who barely had a human form stood side by side.

"Although that person likes to paint, his painting skills are really bad." Skulucci smiled bitterly. "The two'things' in the painting are actually me and him."

"This is the picture he painted of'I'm standing side by side with him.'"

"He took this painting as a parting gift, which is very meaningful."

"It's a pity that both me and him in the painting are so ugly that they can't recognize these two people."

Ah Ting's face was shocked purely because he was so ugly by this painting.

The reason for the shock is more complicated.

In addition to being ugly by this painting, it is also because-he found this painting very familiar.

He had seen such ugly brushstrokes before.

And I have seen it many times.

A person's name came to Ogata's mind unconsciously.

Subconsciously, Ogata turned the painting in his hand, wanting to see if there was any painting on the back of the paper.

There is no painting on the back of the paper.

But there is one sentence.

A sentence written in Japanese that Ogata is very familiar with.

At the moment when these words came into view, Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly.

Ah Ding was also stunned.

Skulucci's voice sounded faintly:

"Mr. Mashima, I think that person must have something to do with you."

"Because he uses the same swordsmanship as you."

Skulucci stared directly at Ogata with a slightly fiery gaze.

"The name of this important person to me is... Kinoshita Genichi."

The sentence written on the back of the painting is: Genichi Kinoshita gifted to Skulucci Dovner.

He hasn't seen or heard this name for a long time since he left Edo and went to Ezo Land.

"Last night, I recognized the swordsmanship you used, which is Genichi Kinoshita's swordsmanship-two swordsmanship without me."

Skulucci said slowly.

"In addition to sincerely wanting to compete with you, a swordsman who can kill more than 30 Cossacks in a row, I also want to confirm whether the swordsmanship you use is really the second sword style of selflessness."

"The blade reversal, circulation, and stepping you use are the same as those used by Mr. Kinoshita before."

Skulucci's gaze toward Ogata became increasingly fierce.

Although he tried to conceal it, Skulucci's tone still showed some eagerness.

"Can you tell me what is your relationship with Mr. Kinoshita? How is Mr. Kinoshita now? Is he still alive?"

Skulucci vomited many questions to Ogata in one breath, like a cannon.

Faced with the series of questions raised by Skulucci, Ogata did not immediately answer.

Because he is still in shock.

In this remote wilderness, a Cossack I encountered occasionally had a deep connection with Genichi Kinoshita.

Ogata couldn't think of such a terrifyingly low probability that he would encounter it.

Genichi traveled to Europe for a short period of time, and he didn't return to his country until he was 54 years old. Ogata still knew about such things.

According to Skulucci-he met Genichi Kinoshita 20 years ago, and was adopted by Genichi Kinoshita for 3 months.

Twenty years ago, Genichi was only 44 years old-the time just coincided, and Genichi of this period is indeed very likely to be still wandering somewhere in Europe.

He has encountered many enemies of Genichi.

The attribute of Genichi's "troublemaker" has been profoundly learned by Ogata before in Edo.

The pair just heard that "Genichi Kinoshita might be in Edo", and a bunch of people who had enemies with Kinoshita gathered in Edo's "grand event", which left a deep impression on Ogata.

In Ogata's impression, the people he encountered who had something to do with Kinoshita but had no enemies with Kinoshita seemed to be the wind demon of Kyoto, who was already a group of people in the gourd house.

Seeing Ogata's delay in speaking, Skulucci had to hesitate:

"Mr. Kinoshita...Is he no longer alive?"

"You misunderstood." Ogata finally said, "I was silent only because I was surprised that I was able to meet someone who had no hatred with Genichi Kinoshita, but was kind to him."

Hearing Ogata's words, Skulucci was stunned.

Then he showed a bitter smile:

"That's right... You will be surprised and normal... After all, Mr. Kinoshita is really a person who likes to have nothing to do and set up various enemies for himself."

"I just ate and lived with him for 3 months, and there were 3 enemies who came to the house."

"The three months that I ate and lived with him really made me suffer."

"But-even though I have suffered, those 3 months are also 3 months for me to transform."

"I originally wanted to travel far to Japan and go directly to Japan to find him."

"However, Japan has imposed a national lock-up order, and my face cannot be on Japanese soil at all."

Skulucci poked his towering nose.

"If foreigners like me land on Japanese soil, they will be arrested by Japanese officials, and then arrested and chopped off."

"So I can only inquire about Mr. Kinoshita's whereabouts like this."

"I don't ask for anything, I just want to know if Mr. Kinoshita is still alive..."

Ogata looked deeply at Skulucci, who looked at him with almost imploring eyes.

After a moment of silence, he let out a breath.

While returning the painting in his hand to Skulucci, he slowly said:

"...I am Genichi's friend, and at the same time...I am considered half of his apprentice."

"For the time being, it is a relationship of teacher and friend."

"Genichi is still alive, and his bones are very strong. He doesn't look like an old man in his 60s at all."

"Can still swing a knife vigorously and drink alcohol."

"I have been separated from him for a while, so I don't know where he is now or what he is doing now."

"but……"

A small smile appeared on Ogata's face.

"I believe he must now hold the wine bottle as usual, shrink in the corner, drink his'oolong tea', and paint a few pictures when he is in a good mood."

"'Oolong tea'?" Skulucci raised his eyebrows, and then showed a nostalgic expression, "It's a familiar term... It seems that you do have a deep relationship with Mr. Kinoshita, and you are not familiar with Mr. Kinoshita. The people who do not know what'oolong tea' is."

"Mr. Kinoshita is so old, is he still drinking that kind of wine that can be burnt at a touch... It seems that his body is indeed very good."

After that, Skulucci let out a sigh of relief.

"Since Mr. Kinoshita is still alive, then I can rest assured..."

"Mr. Mashima. If you meet Mr. Kinoshita in the future, can you bring me a word with him?"

"It's okay," Ogata said, "but I don't know when I will meet him again."

"When I meet him again, it may be a long time later."

"It's okay." Skulucci shook his head. "As long as you can help me with the conversation, it doesn't matter when you pass it to him."

"Please help me say to him:'Sculucci is living well now and is going straight on his own path.'"

Ogata nodded, "Remember. I will bring the words to you when I meet Genichi in the future."

"Then bother you."

After speaking, Skulucci let out a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Mashima, I owe you a favor." Skulucci smiled faintly, "The search for news of Mr. Kinoshita for so long, finally has a result."

Skulucci bowed solemnly to Ogata.

"Knowing that Mr. Kinoshita is still healthy now, the big rock that has been hanging in my heart for 20 years has finally landed."

"thank you."

...

...

Ogata and Amachi walked out of Skulucci’s camp side by side.

"I didn't expect that Skulucci, whom I met once, was adopted by Yuan Yuan..." Just walking out of Skulucci's camp, Xuyi sighed to Ah Ding, "What a wonderful fate... "

"I'm a little envious of Skulucci." Ah Ding smiled bitterly at this time, "He has found the whereabouts of the person he was looking for."

"And the two of us are basically nothing now..."

After all, Ah Ding mayor sighed. Then put on a serious face.

"Where are we going to look for clues to Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen?"

"Qina Village is the last village that Aiyaka can bring us."

"If we can't find any clues in Qina Village, Ayaka will be helpless, and we will have to go to the new village to find clues by ourselves."

"There's no need to worry about this kind of thing." Ogata smiled freely, "If Kina Village can't find any clues here, just continue to the north and look for clues in new villages."

"Are you overly optimistic?" Ah Ding said irritably.

"It's useless for you to be anxious about this kind of thing." Ogata said, "Yesterday we only had time to ask a small group of people in Kina Village. There are still many people who haven't asked."

"Just like the current situation in Yiqina Village, it is not suitable for us to ask the villagers any more questions."

"Let's stay in Jina Village for a while now."

"After the mood of the villagers in Qina Village stabilizes, they will then ask if the villagers who had not had time to ask yesterday have Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen information."

"I will also take advantage of this time to teach you how to ride a horse."

"With horses, our actions will be much easier in the future."

"At the same time, taking advantage of this time, both you and I learned from Skulucci about how the Kentucky long rifle and the short blunderbuss used by their Cossacks were loaded."

Before heading to Skulucci’s camp, while Amachi was still washing Ogata's hair, Ogata and Amachi had already planned how to divide the weapons collected from Vladimir.

2 horses, 5 Kentucky long rifles, all the blunderbuss-this is what Ogata planned to take.

Although the short guns used by the Cossacks, there is a high probability that they will not be able to fire in a row like Pixel Sakura and Xia Na.

When Alexei planned to kill Ogata with short guns, Ogata saw the appearance of the short guns they used. This kind of short guns didn't look like they could be fired continuously.

But even if it is a single shot, it is a good thing not to be ignored.

Ogata didn't think he had too few pistols.

He couldn't wait to quickly transform from a "two swords swordsman" to a "multi-gun swordsman" with pistols on his back.

In the future, facing an enemy who does not need to be respected, he drew his pistol directly, and the matter was over suddenly.

Xia Nai was the only pistol before, and there were not enough bullets. Therefore, they are only used in critical moments of urgency.

If a number of pistols and a sufficient number of bullets can be collected from the people of Vladimir, then the strength of Ogata and Amachi can undoubtedly increase dramatically.

When leaving from Skulucci’s camp just now, Skulucci was very excited to tell Ogata and the others-in order to repay the great favor, if Ogata and the others encounter any trouble that needs help in the future, please come. Find him. He will do everything he can to help him.

If Skulucci taught Ogata how to use the Kentucky long rifle and how to use the short guns used by their Cossacks, Skulucci would definitely not refuse.

"If we can't find any information in Kina Village, we will leave and go to other places to find clues." Ogata continued.

"A Ding, don't worry, you can always find a clue."

Ogata spoke briefly and concisely about what he planned for the future.

The arrangement made by Ogata was well-founded and well-organized, and couldn't fault it. After thinking about it, Amachi nodded gently.

But after nodding, Ah Ting flattened his lips and reminded Ogata:

"I know this kind of thing can't be rushed."

"But I think it's better for you to feel more urgent."

"I always feel that you seem to have no sense of urgency now, it's easy."

"If time drags on for too long, the'immortal poison' in your body may spread again..."

Skulucci’s camp is not too far away from China Village. If you walk, you can make a round trip in just 10 minutes.

The two said as they walked. Soon he returned to Qina Village.

After returning to Kina Village, Ogata found that the village seemed a bit noisy.

Walking along the source of the noise with a feeling of confusion, I saw many villagers surrounding the Chief of Chepke, chatting and talking there.

With Ogata’s three-legged cat Ainu, I couldn’t understand what they were talking about.

Ogata looked around, looking for someone who could speak Japanese and who could help him explain what the Chief Chepke was doing.

It's a coincidence-Ogata found it immediately.

Not far from Ogata, a middle-aged man was standing.

Ogata recognized this middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man just visited Ogata with Chepke this morning and acted as Chepke's interpreter.

Ogata walked quickly and asked what happened to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged first greeted Ogata respectfully, who was kind to their village, and then explained concisely why so many villagers were surrounded by Chepke.

...

...

"Heye Tetsu?" Ogata cast a suspicious look at the middle-aged man.

After listening to the middle-aged man’s explanation just now, Ogata finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that Chepke planned to lead the whole village to Heyezhe for the safety and future of the village.

Chepke informed the whole village of the news just now.

The villagers surrounding Chepke are all opposed to Heyezhe, and they are yelling to Chepke for their "opposing to be attached".

"Where is Heye Tetsu?" Ogata asked the middle-aged man, "Is it the name of a village?"

"He Yezhe... if you say it is a village, you are actually right." The middle-aged man said in a somewhat non-standard Japanese. "A long time ago, the climate in the north suddenly became bad."

"The weather is too bad to live anymore."

"So a group of Ainu compatriots living in the north went south to find a new home."

"After going south, they found a large wall made of wood left by the white-skinned people."

"This wall made of wood just forms a circle."

"So they lived in the circle made up of wooden walls and settled down there."

"After living inside the wooden fence, they named their brand new home'Heyezhe'."

"I remember that'He Yezhe' is also quite famous among you and people~www.wuxiahere.com~ Those Japanese merchants who always come to our village to trade with us will always talk about'He Yezhe'."

"But you and others don't call that place ‘He Yezhe’, but ‘Red Moon Fortress’.”

The middle-aged man's voice fell, and Ogata's eyes widened slightly with surprise.

"...Sorry, you can tell me more about the Red Moon Fortress...Ah, no, about Heye Tetsu?" Ogata said.
