Obi is back, Katsura Kotaro and Takasugi Shinsuke, Okada Shinizou, Kawagami Banqi, Kurushima Matako, and Takeichi Bianheita are also back.
This time Takasugi Shinsuke's target is Hagi, and he is expected to appear.
Katsura Kotaro wanted to help, but Takasugi Shinsuke wouldn't let him, so Katsura Kotaro was happy to have some free time and went to drink with Sakata Gintoki.
Takasugi Shinsuke observed and observed, hesitated again and again, and decided to endure it for the time being.
The opponent has many people and is strong, but our own force is weak. This is not a good time.
…
In the evening, the Imperial Palace - the previous one was destroyed, but now this one is rebuilt.
Taking the little lynx Miaomiao with them, Yamazaki and Shandai came to visit as scheduled, and found that there were many more guards around Tokugawa Sumiya.
The bodyguard of the Tokugawa family, the bodyguard from the Yuan sect.
Yagyu Kyubei and the Four Heavenly Kings of the Yagyu family, as well as some descendants of ninjas.
The strength of the Hezi Countermeasures Bureau has been greatly reduced, and now it seems that it has simply been transformed into the Imperial Palace Guard Force.
They were greeted at the door by Hasegawa Taizo, who took them to meet Tokugawa Sumiya.
Shandai was a little impatient and walked too slowly, wasting time.
However, I didn’t mess around, there was still some etiquette.
…
Reception room.
After they sat down to serve tea, Tokugawa Chengye, no, it was His Majesty Chengye now, asked the two of them their purpose of coming.
Shandai took a sip of tea and said, "Chengye, I have something to say to you alone."
Yamazaki added, "I will seal this place up. If you don't worry, you can watch it from a distance."
"Okay." His Majesty Cheng Ye believed that the two of them had no ill intentions.
No one else said anything. The Tokugawa family's guard hesitated a little, but still withdrew with an evil look in his eyes.
Yamazaki hooked his fingers and drew the water out of the teapot to form a semicircular water cover. He opened the door on the side and flipped it upside down, leaving it hanging about 20 centimeters in the air.
"Your Majesty, please come in."
"OK."
His Majesty Chengye stepped on the water curiously and found that the thin layer would not break at the touch, so he walked in with confidence.
Yamazaki and Shandai followed, and Yamazaki sealed the entire space.
His Majesty Chengye raised his hand, "I have a question, how do you breathe here?"
"Separate water and create oxygen."
"What about hydrogen?"
"Let it out and it will dissipate naturally. It won't explode."
"That's good."
"Okay, don't waste time." Shan Dai interrupted, "I'm here to give you a gift today. You decide whether you want to accept it or not."
"What? Why do I have a bad feeling?"
"It's a potion. I don't know if it's good or not, but it can improve your chances of survival."
His Majesty Cheng Ye shook his head, "I don't quite understand. Can you explain it in detail?"
Shan Dai scratched her head and said, "You also watch anime, right?"
"certainly."
"You should know the difference between magic and magic, right?" Shandai explained, "One is the application of knowledge allowed by the rules, and the other is the rules themselves. Do you understand?"
"I understand, magic can only be used by special people, or it is called special skills." His Majesty Cheng Ye asked, "But what is the connection?"
"At present, the application of mental power is a kind of magic. Everyone can use it. I believe you can too."
"Well, I've tried hard to exercise, but the effect doesn't seem to be very good." His Majesty Cheng Ye felt a little sad.
"This is a matter of heart, and it can also be said to be a matter of qualifications."
"Are you here to hit me?"
Shan Dai chuckled, "No, I mean, you can change the direction."
His Majesty Cheng Ye reacted, "Magic? Is there really such a thing?"
Shandai showed a big cherry as big as the back of her hand, "I call it ability, and those who use it are called awakened ones."
"Just eat this? What's the use?"
"To stimulate the ability of water to a certain extent, the ultimate state should be that people can change into a pool of water."
"Probably, that is to say, you are not sure either."
"I'm sure it can be stimulated, but I don't know to what extent."
"So that's it, then why is it this? Is this a cherry?"
"That's right, it's cherries. I chose them randomly because they are easy to cultivate." Shandai said, "The effective substances inside were extracted from someone. In order to avoid genetic conflict, they were mixed into the plants."
His Majesty Chengye clicked his tongue, "This method sounds very powerful."
"Anyway, it's up to you whether you want to eat or not."
"What are the side effects?"
"Maybe there will be problems in producing offspring, but there are no other big problems."
"That's it."
"Don't worry about the offspring, I can help you breed them artificially."
"Human, artificial breeding?"
"Well, let me know when you want to give birth."
"Okay, I understand." His Majesty Cheng Ye picked up the cherry and was about to put it in his mouth but hesitated.
"By the way, what are the benefits of eating this?"
Shandai said: "Look at the effect, which is the degree of awakening."
"If it is 100%, it means it can turn into water. As long as it is controlled with mental power and the volume does not decrease, then the physical damage will be zero."
"Similarly, as long as you use mental power to deal with it properly, the attribute damage will be greatly reduced."
His Majesty Cheng Ye raised his hand, "Wait, is that just like this? Shouldn't it mean that you will not die if you have water?"
Shandai said: "It is possible, but the premise is that you understand the structure of the human body and can construct the entire body with water."
"Otherwise, when you fall asleep, that's when you die, because you don't have the mental power to maintain your abilities."
"Of course, this is my assumption, that is, a pool of water is not viable and will evaporate if left unchecked."
His Majesty Cheng Ye pondered: "That is to say, unless I can make a body out of water, I will still be killed."
"Yes," Shan Dai said, "but if the drop of water containing all your spiritual consciousness is not destroyed, you can come to me. I may be able to help you reshape a body for you to use first."
"This sounds really awkward." His Majesty Chengye frowned, "Is there no other way? For example, save it."
Shandai shrugged, "I don't know about that. I just think that in that state, if you fall asleep, your spiritual consciousness will be scattered, and then there will be no mechanism to condense it. In short, you will fall asleep and not wake up."
It’s a question of coming over.”
"That's it."
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, it's up to you whether you want to eat it or not."
"Last question, why did you give me this thing?"
"It's mainly for fun. I don't want you, the female majesty, to be killed easily."
"Is someone going to come and kill me?"
"I don't know, just be prepared."
"Okay, I'll eat it." His Majesty Cheng Ye ate the cherry, "It's quite sweet."
Shan Dai solemnly said: "Remember, before you understand your own body structure, don't use your ability to turn into water easily."
"Then how do I understand my own body structure?"
"Stupid, it's made of water," Shandai said, "Use your static power to detect yourself and then copy it with water."
"You can easily control the water, just like in the game, you can pile sand and water droplets to form yourself."
"When you can copy a real body that has transformed into water, then you can really be reborn with water dripping from your body."
"At the same time, you can use a simple water incarnation to fight and clean."
"In short, if you can copy a hydrated true body in an instant, or even many hydrated true bodies, then you may not be invincible, but you will almost be invincible."
"Thank you." His Majesty Cheng Ye bowed down and thanked Shandai for giving her a path to undefeation.
"If you thank me, please keep it a secret for me. Not everyone can use this thing, and I don't want to explain it to anyone anymore."
"no problem."
"Okay, my brother and I will leave first. Remember to practice hard."
"I will."
Yamazaki removed the water cover, said goodbye to His Majesty Cheng Ye together with Shan Dai, and then walked away directly from the air.
