Chapter 287: Miko Shion

"Is this Mr. Luke? Please come in."

The man was respectful.

The witch of the Land of Demons had been waiting for a long time.

Luke nodded calmly and followed calmly.

Walking to the door of the reception room, Luke pushed the door open and entered.

The witch Shion raised her head and looked happy.

But before Luke could say hello, he found that Shion's happy expression suddenly froze.

It was as if the man in front of her was not the great writer she admired, but some indescribable person.

From astonishment to horror.

She froze in place for a while.

Luke kept smiling.

"Hello, witch."

He said hello.

Shion didn't react, and was stunned, not knowing what she was thinking.

The servants were a little strange.

Although Shion's temper was a little weird, she rarely showed impolite behavior in front of strangers.

"Witch."

The servants gathered next to her and greeted her in a low voice.

She couldn't let the witch embarrass herself in front of an outsider.

Although it was exciting to meet her idol, she didn't have to be so excited that she couldn't even maintain the most basic social etiquette, right?

After the maid behind her reminded her, Shion finally woke up from her dream.

Shion forced a smile at Luke.

"Hello, Mr. Luke."

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"Please sit down."

For some reason, the maid felt that the witch at this moment was inexplicably respectful to Luke, an ordinary person.

Was it her illusion?

The maid was a little suspicious.

Luke sat down safely and the two looked at each other.

It must be said that this guy is not only amazing in literary talent, but also in appearance.

Even if he doesn't write these amazing works, Luke can probably guarantee himself a worry-free life with this face alone.

No wonder the witch felt nervous.

The maid stood behind Shion and thought silently.

"You guys go out first, I have something to talk to Mr. Luke about."

Shion took a deep breath.

Her body became more and more tense, and her expression was a little unnatural.

"But."

The maid hesitated.

Asuho-sama had told them that no matter what, they had to ensure that someone stayed in the reception room.

In case something happened to the miko-sama.

Although the great writer opposite was just an ordinary person, he might not have come into contact with chakra in his life.

But the miko-sama did not have the fighting ability like a ninja except for the ability to seal demons and predict the future.

Theoretically, even ordinary people can kill Shion.

The premise is that Shion does not make any preparations.

The ability to predict the future is too buggy. Even if Shion can only predict the death of life, it is enough for Shion to avoid most disasters.

However, Shion herself was also limited by this so-called fate.

If she predicts her own death one day, she will follow the predicted future and enter the pure land.

Even if she has a way to avoid her own death, Shion will not do that.

People who believe too much in fate, life and death are naturally controlled by fate.

Ziyuan shook her head.

"Don't worry, I believe in Mr. Luke's character!"

Luke's character?

Does he have this thing?

Who among the maids present is not aware of the unruly lifestyle of this great writer.

Although it is just some information on the surface, just from these materials, this great writer is not much related to the "good man" in the eyes of the world.

Whose good man is always hooking up with noble ladies?

Although it is said that the noble ladies took the initiative to hook up with Luke, if Luke did not agree, could those weak noble ladies still suppress a big man and work hard?

Luke's "dirty" lifestyle is also a point that these maids are wary of.

Although the Ghost Country does not have a hard rule that does not allow priestesses to marry and have children, it is hard not to make the nobles of the Ghost Country think too much about marrying a sensitive foreign person.

The Ghost Country needs priestesses.

And it needs priestesses from generation to generation.

If Shion gets married today and has a child in the future, will she be willing to give the child to the Ghost Country?

Will Luke be willing to give his child to the Ghost Country?

Any normal person would not choose to send his relatives away.

Moreover, the witches of the Ghost Country are basically doomed to die.

The final outcome of each witch is to sacrifice her life and seal the monsters.

This is the case with Shion, Shion's mother Miroku, and Shion's future daughter!

Unless all the monsters and goblins are dead, the Ghost Country may give up the witches.

So, the witch lady, don't be confused!

The man in front of you is already a "sex maniac" who has fought thousands of battles.

The purity of the witch lady must not be handed over to this guy in front of you.

The maid was very embarrassed.

"Get out!"

Shion's tone turned cold.

She ordered with a cold face.

In the Ghost Country, her temper is not very good.

I stayed here honestly these days to see Luke.

She usually maintains a friendly image, but when it comes to the critical moment, a group of servants really think they can influence her decision?

I'm giving you face, right? !

The maid turned pale.

She also realized that she had gone too far.

The position of the witch in the Land of Demons is extremely special.

The Ghost Country needs the shrine maiden to seal the monsters, so they can't let her die.

But because they are afraid that the shrine maiden will use this power to threaten their rule, they take back most of the shrine maiden's rights, but only maintain the shrine maiden's supreme status on the surface.

It is a treasure placed in the hall, which can only be looked at, not touched.

However, if the shrine maiden herself has a strong personality.

In fact, they really have no way to punish the shrine maiden.

Kill the shrine maiden?

Then the monsters and ghosts will kill them?

And they may not be able to kill the shrine maiden, after all, the shrine maiden's ability is more elusive than that of ninjas.

Unfortunately, Shion is such a shrine maiden with a strong personality.

The nobles of the Ghost Country all respect her, not to mention this group of servants whose status is not even as good as that of civilians.

"I'm sorry! Lady shrine maiden! We will leave immediately!"

With a snap.

The maid knelt on the ground, apologized, and didn't even have time to adjust her skirt, and hurriedly left the room with several servants.

Seeing this scene, Luke and Shion's expressions did not change.

The five major countries are fine. The development and progress in science and technology, education and other aspects have gradually liberated slavery.

Although it is true that slave trading still exists, it is also a matter of "mutual consent", signed and sealed, and legally binding personal trading.

But in some small countries in the ninja world, slavery is still deeply rooted and cannot be disintegrated.

The lack of resources in small countries also leads to the need for more "cheap" labor, or free labor to supply the upper class.

This group of servants said that they were servants who could better take care of the witch.

In fact, they were the loyal followers raised by the nobles of the Demon Country since childhood.

Their identity is just slaves.

But they are not Shion's slaves.

After all the servants left the room, Shion quieted down.

Luke picked up the teacup with interest and sipped the tea.

She saw it.

Is it because of the witch's ability?

Shion was silent.

She didn't know what to say.

Why did it turn out like this?

I met the person I wanted to see and found out that the existence I believed in was real. These two happy things overlapped.

And these two joys should bring more happiness.

What I got should have been a happy time like a dream. But why did it turn out like this? !

Shion felt mixed emotions for a while.

She never thought that she just wanted to find a philosopher to think about life.

For this reason, she ignored the opinions of the nobles of the Ghost Country and forced herself to stay here for several months.

As a result, she didn't expect that the person she wanted to see was not a human at all!

God?

Should it be a god?

The power of the witch told her that the seemingly ordinary "ordinary person" in front of her may not be related to the word "human" at all.

Not a monster, not a ninja, not a human.

But it made the power of the witch in her body restless.

Not for the purpose of sealing, but to get close, to get, to touch!

Shion's face was slightly flushed.

"Tell me, how did you figure it out?"

Luke put down his teacup.

Although he didn't hide himself much, he would never let an ordinary person perceive his "real" side.

It's like the gap between Aizen and an "ordinary god of death".

The power of the former has surpassed the dimension that the latter can perceive.

A human who should be confused by the "mirror flower and water moon" can discover the facts he hides.

Interesting.

Luke kept smiling.

Shion's body trembled and she knelt directly on the ground.

She forced a smile.

"God."

The pure miko was about to be "tortured" by God, but the servants were waiting for the miko's orders outside the door.

Let's not talk about the story of Luke and the miko for now.

After several days, the Chunin Joint Examination was ready.

Ninjas from various villages also came to Konoha Village one by one.

The three members of Gaara's group, who were carrying gourds on their backs, were holding the grandson of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Konohamaru, ready to teach this bastard a lesson.

They didn't seem to know the true identity of the kid in their hands.

If Gaara took action, what was waiting for him was definitely not the crying Konohamaru.

It would only be the Konoha Anbu and Konoha Sealing Team who were on high alert.

Fortunately, Konohamaru's elder brother Uzumaki Naruto was right beside him.

With such a heavyweight here, I'm sure the One-Tail wouldn't dare to make too much noise.

The Anbu hiding in the dark watched the few people silently.

The son and daughter of the Fourth Kazekage.

Such sensitive people should be sent to see more or less, so as to avoid trouble that is difficult to deal with.

Not only that, important figures in other ninja villages are also more or less guarded by Anbu members in secret.

The Hidden Rain Village, the Kusagakure Village, the Takigakure Village.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage used the crystal ball to take in the entire Konoha Village.

This is a forbidden technique invented by the Second Hokage - the telescope technique, which helps the Hokage monitor the entire Konoha Village at all times.

Of course, the original purpose of developing this thing was to be able to monitor the Uchiha clan without showing up.

Although the Uchiha clan's Sharingan does not have a wide range of reconnaissance like the Byakugan, its insight should not be underestimated.

It is worth mentioning that although the telescope technique seems to be more practical, it is not without restrictions.

If you want to use the telescope technique to monitor others, you must first know the other party's chakra form. Although there are only a few types of chakra attributes, the chakra aura of each ninja is different.

In other words, if you want to monitor the entire Konoha Village, the person using the technique needs to know the chakra characteristics of the villagers of Konoha Village.

And the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama, used the telescope technique to monitor the Uchiha clan, who were born evil.

In other words, the second generation Hokage also knew the chakra aura of the Uchiha clan.

However, these are all things of the past. Today, the third generation Hokage, who master this forbidden technique, generally puts the monitoring location in the Konoha bathhouse.

The Konoha bathhouse is related to the personal safety of the villagers, so naturally someone should be strictly guarded!

After watching this group of people, go and take a look at the bathhouse.

Thinking of this, the third generation Hokage's movements can't help but speed up a lot.

But before he finished watching, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The Third Hokage frowned.

Could it be that the ninjas from other villages are causing trouble again?

People from small ninja villages are unruly.

They cause trouble all day long.

The Third Hokage sighed in his heart and stopped moving.

He looked up and was stunned.

"Asuma, you..."

Before the Third Hokage finished speaking, Asuma interrupted him.

"Old man, when will Tsunade-sama come back?!"

Asuma's tone was a little impatient.

His broken hand has not been reattached yet.

The Konoha medical team has seen it. Although his broken hand was frozen with ice, it is well preserved.

However, if you want to reattach this broken hand without any negative effects, the Konoha medical team may not guarantee that they can do this.

After all, it involves research on connecting nerves, bones, muscles, etc.

A little error may cause various adverse reactions in Asuma's hand.

If you are gentle, the hand speed will drop slightly, and the speed of the seal will be slower than before.

If the key is, there may be occasional fatigue, failure to seal, and other problems. If these problems occur in battle, they may become the fuse of the battle.

If a ninja suddenly cannot use ninjutsu in battle.

I am afraid that he will die without knowing how he died.

It is also because of this possibility that the third generation Hokage persuaded Asuma to let him be so anxious.

It will not be too late to replace it after he finds Tsunade back.

Except for some special ninjas, most ninjas value their hands very much.

If the hand is broken, you can't seal.

If you can't seal, it means that you can't use ninjutsu.

Is a ninja who can't use ninjutsu still a serious ninja?

He Sarutobi Asuma is not Senju Hashirama, who can do whatever he wants with a clap of his hands.

However, what makes Asuma a little anxious is.

He has been waiting for almost a month, and the old man has not invited Tsunade back.

If he had to endure this any longer, Asuma thought he might as well just ask the medical team to take him back.

It doesn't matter if his hands are slow, it's not useless, it's better than being a useless person.

The Third Hokage had a headache.

Could he not know why Asuma was so anxious?

It's because he wanted to meet Kurenai Yuhi as a normal person, not a disabled ninja.

But Kurenai Yuhi had already run away with someone!

Looking at Sarutobi Asuma who was getting more and more restless, the Third Hokage didn't know what to say for a while.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have kept the news from Asuma.

The Third Hokage picked up his pipe, took a deep puff, and his eyes were dim. (End of this chapter)
