The two of them suddenly bowed ninety degrees to us. When they saw the mark on my armband, they said: "White flash, you must be members of the Anhui guild. Please take care of me when we meet for the first time. I am Natsume Rokuro, the president of the [Sakura Club]."
,This is Vice President Natsume Sakurako."
My hand holding the knife froze. They saluted me generously. As a Chinese in a country of etiquette, how could I treat each other with a knife? What’s more, the other party was not the Kamikaze Kai that attacked us. Ren Tianya and I
They looked at each other, put their weapons back and saluted generously: "This is the first time we meet, and I would like to ask you to take care of me. I am the unknown hermit, and next to me is my girlfriend, the sweet little princess." Ren Tianya and Jingyi also introduced themselves.
The Japanese man in front of us, Natsume Rokuro, did not cover his face with a mask. He showed a sharp-edged face and a pair of straight sword eyebrows. His head was specially dressed with an Edo period samurai hairstyle, which made him look heroic. Although he was
Japanese people, but their appearance and straightforward demeanor make it difficult for me to feel disgusted. It seems that the contradictions between nations do not affect the emotions between people.
He grabbed my hand with both hands, showed a faint smile, and said: "We actually met the four most powerful people in An Hui. We are so lucky today, hahaha..." Listening to his hearty laughter, I was filled with questions.
We have beaten your compatriots to a pulp, are you mistaken?
Natsume Rokuro held my hand and didn't let go. It didn't feel like he was shaking hands, but more like he was afraid that I would run away. Even the Japanese girl next to him felt rude and called his name softly, but Natsume Rokuro didn't let go of mine at all.
mean
Natsume Sakurako was wearing a Japanese kimono, with long hair hanging down to her waist. She was dressed like the eldest lady of a traditional family. She always stood behind Mukuro with her head lowered. Every word and every move she made showed the unique gentleness of Japanese women.
She kept bowing to us and apologizing on behalf of this man, which made us all embarrassed.
Natsume Rokuro said: "You fought so beautifully in that battle last time. You taught my short-sighted compatriots a lesson. I am very grateful." He deliberately grabbed my hand again, but still did not let go, and said, "They took all their
Chinese people regard them as enemies, but I am different.”
I couldn't help but probe his thoughts and asked: "Mr. Natsume, are you a left-winger?"
He shook his head, and my spirit suddenly became tense. I pulled my hand back with a little force: "Mr. Natsume must have something urgent." I thought to myself, since you are not a friend of the left, please move quickly and save me from splattering blood.
"Slow! Although I believe in the spirit of Bushido, I have other ideas." Natsume Rokuro glanced at the surrounding taverns. The seats were crowded and he looked embarrassed: "Can I interrupt you for ten minutes? I just want to
Find a quiet place to say a few words to you, here..." He deliberately glanced around, Korean, Indonesian players, and Malaysian players looked at us secretly.
I screamed in my heart, "Oh no, they filmed me talking to Japanese people. Domestic trolls will drown me with saliva, but they treat me politely, so I can't categorically refuse."
Jingyi winked at me to calm me down. I pointed to a large open space next to the square and said, "Come out of the [Moonlight Tent]"
A large luxurious silver tent suddenly appeared, its soft light shining like a pearl in the dark night. The people in the square had never seen a sub-artifact before, and there was a sudden commotion. I lifted the curtain of the tent: "Please come in," those two people
Lowering his head and entering, Ren Tianya paused for a moment and then walked in after hesitating.
"So beautiful!" Natsume Sakurako opened her mouth and looked around, admiring, and said: "This tent is at least legendary level?" Her head was raised, her oval face had a pair of big eyes, and her eyes were clear.
Typical Japanese beauty. At this time, my arm hurt, and the little princess looked at me with jealous eyes, sweat!
Ren Tianya turned around and snickered. Jingyi helped me out and said: "It's a sub-god level. It was obtained by Wuming after doing a challenge mission."
"It's so beautiful!" Sakura generously praised her.
Maybe our voices were too loud. Claire opened the curtain of the back room and saw two foreigners here. They put one hand on their chests and saluted me respectfully: "Master, what do you want me to prepare?"
"No, no... Claire, there is no need to trouble you," I lowered my voice: "And you are my friend, not my servant, there is no need to feel inferior to others."
"I don't feel this way. The book you recommended me to read says: The most disgusting thing when interacting with others is a condescending tone. So in order to win the favor of the other party, try to think of yourself as a subordinate. So you often treat yourself as inferior and inferior.
Titles, those titles don’t suit me, so I’ll just call you master.”
Sweat! There are so many Confucian classics, why is she interested in this one? She should be allowed to read Taoism first, and then Confucian classics. I said: "Next time you read the "Nanhua Sutra", "The Analects of Confucius" should be placed first
aside"
"Yes, my master, I'll go get the tea."
"..."
Claire presented the tea and excused herself. Natsume Sakurako looked at Claire for a while and asked: "Is this the 1000-level boss soul hunter Claire?"
I nodded and said, "You guys really understand me."
"Of course, because you are the number one enemy of Japanese players and also the goal of our Japanese players to catch up." Natsuki Rokuro took a sip of tea. He took off the sword from his waist, put it on the table and slid it in front of me, with an expression on his face.
Becoming serious: "First of all, I want to make it clear that I hate the Chinese today."
His sudden change of expression shocked me for a moment, but then he returned to his normal state. I smiled slightly and said, "I appreciate your frankness, but didn't you come in just to say this?"
"Rokuro!" Natsume Sakurako stood up and shouted, bowing to us: "I'm sorry, Rokuro didn't mean that."
Natsume Rokuro said without changing his expression: "That's what it means literally. I hate the Chinese today, and even more hate the Chinese who have abandoned their own culture. Those people have no faith. I don't agree with them, so I won't be polite to those Chinese.
We will continue to fight against them."
I smiled and said: "I want to correct your mistake. According to the ancient Chinese saying, those who inherit Chinese culture are Chinese, and those who do not inherit Chinese culture are not Chinese. Those people you hate are just the same nationality as us, but
They are no longer Chinese.”
"Hahaha... This is a good saying, but are you Chinese? I doubt it." Natsume Rokuro stood up, grabbed the tachi on the table, and pulled the sword out of its sheath: "I, Natsume Rokuro, the Japanese youth kendo champion, asked
If you challenge me, if you defeat me, I will recognize you as a true Chinese."
"Kendo champion?" I don't have time to fight with you. For me, the task of hiring NPCs is the first priority. Maybe he is using this excuse to fight me, but I won't be fooled. "Chinese people don't use
Not proud of martial arts, but of virtue and self-cultivation."
Natsume Rokuro is a martial artist who always likes to compete with masters. Hearing my polite rejection, he suddenly became anxious: "Then let me put it another way, you are here to hire NPCs. If you defeat me, I will send you a piece of information.
Sakurako, give me the information."
"Hi!" The little girl bowed and offered the gift respectfully.
Natsu Chong Rokuro cut out the panel and flipped it to my side: "Have you ever heard of the wolf clan?"
Ren Tianya was shocked when he heard this and subconsciously touched his neck. He had been wearing Wolfe's [Wolf Fang Necklace]. This was Wolfe's last wish to take the relic back to his hometown.
Ren Tianya winked at me: "We made a promise to Wuming, Mr. Wolfe, and we can't break our promise." I nodded. I suddenly had no reason to refuse. Claire's eyes turned red when she heard the name.
Jingyi said worriedly: "The opponent is a swordsman champion, can Wuming do it?"
I nodded: "Don't worry, this is a fight, not a kendo competition." I will definitely lose in a kendo competition, but it's different in a fight. The other party has information about the wolf warriors. They are the most powerful warrior clan in ancient times. I didn't expect that they are also there.
Chaos Continent I took out the knife and said impatiently: "What are you waiting for? Let's start!"
There is a simple arena 100 meters away from the "Recruitment Square", which is a place where various races resolve disputes. At this moment, the place is filled with players and NPCs. The surrounding torches are lit. Two orcs swing large bone sticks and beat the 3-meter-diameter
cowhide drum
"Since you want to prove that you are Chinese, I suggest using a fully simulated duel method to block all differences in skills, familiars, mounts and growth attribute points." This suggestion eliminated all my advantages, but it was fair.
The Japanese must convince themselves that they lost without any complaints.
"Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, Natsume Rokuro, Hokushin Itto Ryu, 4th Dan Kendo." He jumped onto the arena and announced his name according to the rules of traditional martial arts battles.
Foreign players whistled, and the atmosphere on the field was extremely lively: "Chinese Kung Fu vs. Japanese Kendo"
"Hokutatsu Itto-ryu! The Swordsmanship of Sakamoto Ryoma" is a very famous school. It was one of the three great dojos in Japan during the Edo period. At that time, Sakamoto Ryoma of the Tosa Kinou Party practiced in this dojo.
Natsume Rokuro said: "Do you know Ryoma Sakamoto? It seems you know a lot about us."
"Mr. Sakamoto is one of the Japanese people I admire. Because of his appearance, Japan was saved." I jumped onto the arena, pulled out the [Brave Sword], and swung two sword flowers. His eyes lit up when he saw this: "This
It is the weapon of the Tang Dynasty in China and the originator of Tai Sword."
"Haha, you don't know much about history."
"Thank you! So are you." He held the knife with both hands, aiming at me with the tip of the knife, keeping a distance of three meters between him and me: "You don't have to abide by the rules of our swordsmanship, you can do whatever you want."
He carefully raised his sword and didn't make any moves, as if he was testing me, so I said, "OK! I'm going to do it."
"Come!" As soon as his voice fell, I jumped forward and stabbed his chest with the long sword. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he quickly jumped to the left, turned around 360 degrees, and pointed the long sword at me with both hands.
Split in the back
"We've got it!" Natsume Sakurako shouted from the field. According to common sense, the inertia of my body throwing forward was too great, and there was no chance to dodge. But I was different. I threw forward with both palms on the ground, and turned my waist with the opponent's sword as an axis.
He did a somersault, just like a scene from Peking Opera
"Wow!" After the audience exclaimed, there was no sound except the crackling of the flames.
I took advantage of the opponent's move and missed it, and slashed at the opponent's back with my sword. His reaction was not bad, he turned his body 180 degrees, used the Tai Dao to hold my Tang Dao, and he quickly turned behind me and swiped the Tai Dao!
I immediately lowered my head and glanced at the opponent's weak point. He lifted his feet off the ground in time and jumped back.
This guy's kicking skills are not as bad as those before. It seems that he has been practicing for a while. I raised my knife and attacked him continuously. He took two moves, took a step back, and then attacked me calmly and calmly.
He is not as flexible as I am in holding the sword with one hand. His sword moves are mainly for cutting and slashing. He lacks the most exquisite and stabbing moves of Eastern swordsmanship. If I could have a soft sword that I can wield freely now, I am sure that I can solve the battle with just three or two moves.
When the sword came towards me, I concentrated all my strength on the tip of the sword and pointed it toward his tip. A string of sparks made him lose his balance and staggered back three or four steps, and he almost lost his grip with the sword.
Everyone on the field shouted loudly: "Kung Fu Godd! Kung Fu Good!..."
Among the audience in the arena, especially Ren Tianya and Jingyi in the front row were the loudest: "Wu Ming, well done!" Also mixed with Natsume Sakurako's voice: "Don't give up Rokuro, defeat him and you will be the [Sakura Club]"
hero"
"Baga! Baga!" Natsume Rokuro cursed himself, his eyes becoming sharper: "This is not a sword dojo, this is a battlefield!"
