Chapter 7 Miko Kikyo
The shrine protected by Kikyo is located in the center of the village. The most eye-catching thing is a giant tree in the shrine courtyard. In the shrine, the trees have the effect of cleansing aura and removing filth. This is enough for several people to embrace the thick tree and provide shelter for this village for a long time.
In comparison, the shrine room is generally too much. Apart from the cage surrounded by knots, there are only dilapidated rooms there. However, as the saying goes, "The mountain is not high, but the immortals are famous." With the great god Kikyo, the monsters around the village are not only ignorant and ignorant, most of the monsters with great cultivation and wisdom are in a tacit balance with this small mountain village, and they are well-behaved and do not violate the rivers.
But such peace is not absolute. It is a sin to bear a treasure. In this simple shrine, there is a divine object that makes all monsters salivate - the Four Souls Jade. According to legend, as long as you get the Four Souls Jade, its power can greatly improve the cultivation of monsters. This is a temptation that no monster can resist.
At this time, the Four Souls Jade was appearing in front of Mikoto without any warning, and it was placed on the altar in the center of the knot. Of course, this so-called unpredictability is just the view of ordinary people with naked eyes. Mikoto, who is very sensitive to energy, can clearly feel that a huge amount of energy is gathered within the range of the knot around the cage, which is the power of the barrier - this is one of Kikyo's best methods.
Over the years, countless monsters have hit the body of the Four Souls Jade, but it is still stored here intact, which is very telling.
Purification, barrier, exorcism, if there is also a "Huashan Sword Controversy" in the witch world, Kikyo's methods will definitely be a member of the Five Abyssors, a well-deserved master. Although he died at the hands of the ghost spider according to the plot, this can only say that "the girl in love has a negative IQ". If it weren't for this, let alone the ghost spider, even Naraku, who later merged with the power of all demons, Kikyo in his heyday would not be unable to compete with it.
Even Mikoto now wants to forcibly destroy the barrier and take away the Four Souls Jade, she can only rely on the long sword's authentic "breaking all spells". In addition, those "conventional methods" will definitely not be Kikyo's opponents. Mikoto even suspects that the "Thunder" that she can use now, which is one of the strongest attack methods that belong to Cannon Sister, may be defended by Kikyo's barrier - after all, both her skill level and the mana value she can consume are too low, and she cannot be compared with the real Mikoto Misaka.
But of course, Mikoto, as a human, was not very interested in the Four Souls Jade. Although it was a plot prop that ran through the entire plot of "Inuyasha", it had no effect on humans after all.
Because she had been busy in the sun for a long time, the red and white witch robe on Kikyo's body was stained with some sweat. At this moment, she ignored the "male" of the Dark Wanderer who was present, took off her outer robe, and her thin inner robe was filled with spring. She casually took off a clean witch robe from the hanger and replaced it.
After all this, Kikyo walked to the cage, held the imperial coin and waved it a few times, silently recited a few spells. As her movements became thicker, this was the work she would do to maintain the barrier every day.
"There is no one else here. If you can, can you take off that cloak?"
Mikoto did not hesitate about Kikyo's request, and took off the "Dark Wanderer's outer robe" and threw it on the clothes hanger beside her. She just didn't want the player to discover her identity as "Mikoto Misaka". Of course, there is no need to hide from Kikyo. In fact, this is not the first time she met Kikyo with her true face, so Kikyo can be said to be the only person in this world who has a little understanding of the "Dark Wanderer".
I have known the identity of a girl under the black robe for a long time, and this is of course the reason why Kikyo dares to change clothes in person in front of the dark wanderer.
Although she could never see through the demon disguise of the level 110 Dark Wanderer at the level 110, as a witch, she was born with an evil aura of darkness and evil. Because of this, she didn't like Mikoto standing in front of her in a cloak as a Dark Wanderer.
The ultra-electromagnetic cannon in "Catalogue of Magical Forbidden Books" and the Kikyo of "Inuyasha" appeared face to face in the same humble room. If such a scene was photographed by a pervert and posted on the forum, it would definitely cause a burst of uproar and inexplicable exclamations, but at this time both parties involved were not aware of this.
"Please forgive me if you are not greeting me well." Kikyo made two cups of tea with unknown grass leaves and handed it to Mikoto, but what she said was not a polite word. The shrine's simple and simple cottage was even more Mikoto's cottage, and there were not even tables and chairs for people to sit down. The two of them could only kneel on the ground. Fortunately, the hygiene here is also well done, and the old floors did not have much dust.
Kikyo did not object to Mikoto's request to "Taobao" in her warehouse. In fact, Kikyo's temper is much better than those players know. What they like is to play with children in the village, and to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Facing enemies that threaten the villagers, they can stand up under any circumstances. In this chaotic world where demons are rampant, Kikyo's existence is like a saint, loved by the children in the village and respected by the villagers.
At least what Mikoto knows about Kikyo is a girl who always loves to hang a gentle smile on her face.
"You have helped you in the last incident."
"No, it's just a slight effort."
Kikyo is talking about a hundred-eyed monster that came toward the Four Souls Jade two days ago. In addition to some small monsters, there are occasionally some big monsters with some strength who have heard the rumors of the "Four Souls Jade". They are not convinced by Kikyo's methods and harass them with the intention of seeking danger.
This is exactly like this Hundred-Eyed Demon. This village is located in the territory of the Western Kingdom led by the King of Douya (General Too). Among the monsters in the Western Kingdom, the Hundred-Eyed Demon is also a monster with a high reputation. It is said that the cultivation of the Hundred-Eyed Demon is proportional to the number of its eyes. If one can cultivate one hundred eyes, he will become a big demon that cannot be dealt with even if the gods and Buddhas descend to earth.
The rumors are always a bit exaggerated, but the Hundred-Eyed Demon is indeed different from ordinary minions. At that time, the Hundred-Eyed Demon that Mikoto faced had already cultivated 97 eyes, which could be considered a big monster on the table. If Mikoto hadn't taken the lead, the players in the village would have suffered heavy losses. However, afterwards, Mikoto thought about it, this should be a group mission arranged by the game for players responsible for protecting the village.
Mikoto was right. This was indeed a design designed by a game company. Fighting is not always a matter of one person. Cooperation between players is sometimes important. Because of this, the company occasionally designs that players encounter tasks that cannot be completed by fighting alone. This Hundred-Eyed Demon was released under such considerations.
However, with the strength of today's players, it is unlikely that they can defeat the opponent even if they join forces with dozens of people. Because what players need to do in this mission is not to destroy the opponent, but to delay time and wait for the arrival of Kikyo. This mission has subsequent development.
However, Mikoto accidentally checked the map of the live spot and discovered this big monster early, and it wiped it out before it even entered the village, which also completely in vain some of the subsequent plots designed by the game company.
"And with your strength, such a monster cannot make trouble, right? I'm just trying to do anything."
"Although this is the case, if the other party enters the village, the villagers may suffer casualties." Kikyo did not deny that she could easily destroy the big monster. It was just that the safety of the villagers was the most important to her. "So no matter what, please accept my thanks."
[Ding, system prompts, from Platycodon's favorability +10, now the favorability is 65 (close)]
The sudden prompt made Mikoto feel happy. Although she used to show off her "favoriteness" at the green robe, this was precisely because she knew the importance of favorability.
Moreover, even if the task can be triggered or not, I really like Kikyo Mikoto when watching "Inuyasha". This love may be mixed with pity, so I am very happy to be able to establish a friendship with the other party even without any reward.
"Hey, Mikoto, if one day I..."
"Um?"
"No, nothing." Kikyo smiled casually, stopped halfway through the topic, and there was no sign of strangeness on her pure face.
Mikoto had some premonition about what Kikyo wanted to say, but that smile made Mikoto realize that she couldn't speak to answer the conversation because she knew that Kikyo could not show her weakness in front of anyone.
As the only "grocery store owner" in the village, the inventory in Platycodon warehouse is richer than Mikoto imagined. However, what makes Mikoto more depressed is that even if the medicinal materials are placed in the warehouse for a long time, even if they are really precious, they have already lost their medicinal properties. And other materials and objects that Platycodon cannot see through are also incapable of identification when the system prompts that it is impossible to identify them.
However, "Taobao" Mikoto was also on a whim. This result did not disappoint her too much. Her real plan was not just like this, but to borrow the trading platform of Kikyo.
"Kankyo, if possible, can I post tasks to the players and buy these things?" Mikoto said, handing the tabulation of various plant patterns written long ago with the names of the names to Kiyo. "Of course, I will pay the players."
There are a variety of materials written on paper, and there are not many things that are too precious, but it is extremely difficult to collect them in large quantities by Mikoto. It is precisely because of this that she wants to use the power of the vast number of players around her.
"Of course there is no problem with this," Kikyo agreed to Mikoto's request. After all, this is not a difficult thing. "But why don't you post this task to them yourself?"
As a dark wanderer, Mikoto is indeed able to post some tasks to players, but whether it is the past or present, exposing herself to a large group of players, such things make Mikoto feel terrifying even if she thinks about it.
At this moment, a harsh jingle sound came, and Kikyo grabbed the bow and arrow hanging on the wall and ran outside the shrine without saying a word. Then Mikoto realized that this was the alarm bell sounded by the villagers, which also meant that some monsters had entered the village.
