"My lord, you are really well-informed." The fox demon held a lantern and led the way while chatting with Luo Jie with a smile, "Do you also have a fox demon shikigami? Or have you ever dealt with us fox demons?"
"Does "Guan Hu" count?"
"Sir, you are joking. That thing can only be regarded as a pet. The difference between it and us fox demons is like that of a monkey and a human."
"If you don't count "Guan Hu", then I have only come into contact with one fox demon."
"Oh? How many tails does the fox demon you know have?"
"Kujo, your hair is golden."
The light in front shook slightly, and the fox demon almost dropped the lantern to the ground. He turned around with a strange smile and said, "Sir, you really know how to joke. Among us fox demons, only Tamamo-mae is the golden-haired Nine-Tails."
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally and did not continue on this topic.
Passing through the long corridor, the fox demon led Luo Jie into a crowded hall.
"Guest, this is our Liren Pavilion's trading hall. Whether it's weapons, spells, or shikigami, we sell them here, and the prices are fair and reasonable."
Luo Jie casually inspected several stalls.
The variety of goods in this Liren Pavilion is rich enough, but unfortunately they are all low-end goods of white quality. That means there are still a few decent shikigami on sale, but he has no use for them yet.
"Sir, it seems that you are not very satisfied with our goods?"
This fox demon was quite exquisite, and Luo Jie's disappointment could be seen at a glance.
"Let's get straight to the point, I'm not interested in other things in your Liren Pavilion. This time I'm here entirely for "Shiranui"."
Luo Jie's directness did not surprise the fox demon maid. She smiled slightly and said: "Most of the new guests come for Shiranui. Do you know the rules?"
"What rules?" Luo Jie had never heard the shipowner mention this matter on the ship.
"It's too noisy here. Let me take you to another place to talk."
The fox demon held a lantern and led Luo Jie into a quiet room.
"Would you like some tea?"
"No need."
"My lord is very impatient."
The fox demon pulled two cushions and sat across from Luo Jie. Although he was an alien, he was so dignified that no flaws could be found.
"Miss Ali will dance on the sea platform once every three days. During this period, countless flames will rise on the sea, only one of which is the true form of "Shiranui"."
"All onmyoji participating in the competition must find the true form of "Shiranui" and capture it before the song and dance ends. If no one succeeds within the specified time, they will have to wait until the next game starts again three days later."
Luo Jie vaguely understood something from these rules and asked: "What should we do if two onmyojis focus on a bunch of flames at the same time?"
The fox demon smiled slightly: "Of course, everyone relies on their own abilities. Our Liren Pavilion will not interfere in the battle between the Onmyoji... Of course, if you are unable to do anything, it is best to surrender and quit. There have been many competitions in the past.
Onmyoji lost his life because of this."
This change is much more difficult than the romantic drama of a talented man and a beautiful woman in the original setting. The system is still the same and will not leave any loopholes for players to take advantage of.
Fortunately, he is currently the only player in this fantasy world, and those competing with him are all the indigenous Onmyoji of this world. The difficulty of PVE is much lower than that of PVP.
Although he knew the rules, Luo Jie still planned to take some shortcuts.
"Can you take me to see Miss A Li?"
If there is anyone in the world who can identify the true identity of "Shiranui", then probably the only one is the legendary and peerless singer "Ari".
As expected, the fox demon decisively refused and said tactfully: "Sir, every guest here wants to meet Miss "A Li". To ensure the fairness of the competition, in principle, we do not allow Miss "A Li" to meet any guest alone...
If you feel that this waiting time is boring, we can arrange a dedicated person to serve you. If you have special hobbies, we can also arrange a monster maid for you. They have been specially taught by our Liren Pavilion and will definitely satisfy you.
Satisfied."
Luo Jie noticed another layer of information revealed in this sentence and said lightly: "Ignore the last sentence, which means that not everyone has to abide by this rule?"
The fox demon also realized that he had let something slip, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his expression as he said, "Even if we are in Liren Pavilion, there are people we can't afford to offend...but you are not among them."
"What if I must meet?"
"Guest, you don't want to use force in Liren Pavilion, do you?" The fox demon seemed to have experienced similar situations and did not show the slightest panic. "Although I have a humble status, I represent the face of Liren Pavilion after all. If you hurt
If you leave me, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to leave here."
Luo Jie smiled slightly: "Use force? No, I have a simpler way."
The fox demon originally thought that Luo Jie was just bluffing, but suddenly he was horrified to find that he had completely lost control of his body.
"This is impossible! Liren Pavilion has an anti-illusion magic circle, and no one can use illusions here!"
"Illusion? No, this is not an illusion, but something that only works on you fox demons."
Luo Jie's fingertips lightly brushed over a white jade samurai sword. Countless fine golden threads lit up the blade wherever it passed, and the ignited flames vaguely formed the shadow of a fox in mid-air.
"Qingqiu Mark".
This is the weapon skill attached to the C-gold weapon [Fox Snake Flame Kill] made by the jade-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox in the fantasy world of "Hell Teacher". Its effect is to have absolute control over fox-blood creatures below the weapon quality.
There were not many fox enemies in the fantasy world. Luo Jie always felt that this skill was useless and a waste of a weapon skill slot, but he never expected that it would come in handy in a place like this.
This was also the reason why he initially refused to replace the fox demon maid.
"This...this is the aura of "Tamazo Mae"-sama..."
The concept of hierarchy among monsters of the same species is extremely strict. The nine-tailed demon fox "Tamamo-mae" is a god-like existence among fox demons. Not to mention this fox demon that has not yet fully transformed, it is the highest level in the Liren Pavilion.
"Three-tailed fox", even under the "Aoqiu Seal" branded by "Tamamo-mae" himself, there is no resistance at all.
"Take me to see Miss "Ali"."
"No...I can't do this..."
At this moment, the fox demon completely fell into a state of "disrespecting the integrity of the body". Although his expression showed strong resistance, his body couldn't help but get up and lead the way for Luo Jie.
As the most important asset and signature of Li Ren Pavilion, "A Li" residence is a secret room surrounded by layers of magic circles. Although it looks like it faces the sea with spring flowers blooming, it is actually a cage from which one can never escape.
Luo Jie's visit was obviously not within the expectations of the owner here.
"I remember that there are no visitor appointments today. Is it a temporary arrangement?"
As two painted wooden doors opened to both sides, a stunning girl in a dancer's costume turned around at the window facing the sea.
"Sorry, Miss A Li, I... couldn't help myself."
Seeing the struggling and helpless look in the fox demon's eyes, the stunning girl had already guessed something. She raised her hand to signal the fox demon to retreat, leaving Luo Jie alone in the room.
"I don't know what means you used to control the hospitality demon, but I can tell you clearly that I don't know where the real body of "Shiranui" is. I don't even know why I can summon "Shiranui" . ”
The tone of the stunning girl was cold and indifferent. It was obvious that she had answered similar questions many times.
Luo Jie looked directly at the girl in front of him and suddenly said: "Isn't Shiranui you Miss A Li?"
"There are still people who believe that kind of folk rumor." "A Li" glanced at Luo Jie with a look as if he was looking at a fool, "If I was really "Shiranui", how could I have escaped so many Onmyoji?" Eyes? I’m afraid they’ve been taken over and turned into shikigami long ago.”
This is quite true.
The Li Ren Pavilion in the original work is a place of fireworks, and the people coming and going are all rich and nobles who are looking for fun. It is normal for no one to notice the true identity of "A Li".
But in this magically modified world, Liren Pavilion is an Onmyoji, and those who come and go here are all hereditary Onmyojis, and it is a secret that everyone knows that "Ali" can summon "Shiranui". If "Shiranui" Her true identity is really "A Li". I'm afraid someone would have discovered her a long time ago and wouldn't have kept her until now.
"Okay, I took the liberty."
Luo just deceived others out of habit. In fact, he didn't think that this "Ali" would be the "Shiranui" he was looking for.
As for why I say this... I can only say that it is a very mysterious intuition.
"You have got the answer you want, then leave quickly. I can treat the matter of kidnapping and coercing the guest demon as if it never happened."
"Thank you." Although Luo Jie said this, his feet did not move at all. "For the sake of my taking such a big risk to see you, can Miss A Li give me some tips?"
"There is no prompt." "A Li" unfolded the folding fan to cover his face, leaving only a pair of bright eyes as quiet as autumn water, and said coldly: "But I can tell you, if you choose the wrong flame, you will be burned by the fire. Even if you use spiritual power to protect your body, this pain will not be alleviated at all... Many Onmyojis cannot bear this kind of pain and give up voluntarily. I wonder how many games you can last."
