"Really, why would my father want me to marry a fox?"
In the side hall of the Raccoon Palace, Afu, the enchantress of the Raccoon tribe, was spinning around impatiently.
Although Ah Fu is a female raccoon dog, she usually prefers to appear more human-like.
Her general appearance is the same as that of a human girl, with Maru eyebrows and a pair of pink eyes. Her figure is petite, and she wears a brown yukata, which is half open, and you can see the white wrap wrapped around her barren chest.
A corner of chest cloth.
The biggest difference from humans is that it retains a pair of animal ears on the top of its head and a big furry tail hanging behind it.
All the raccoons are good at transformation, so it is easy to transform into human form.
But other raccoon demons, especially male raccoon demons... like Dangoro raccoon demon, to it——
Your fangs are very handsome, you should keep them!
The shiny fur is also beautiful, especially the hair covering the face, showing a beautiful "mask" style, so keep it!
There is also a pair of majestic "lights of the moon". This is the symbol of a male raccoon, so of course we keep it!
In short, because of this difference in aesthetic concepts, there is still a big gap in appearance between Ah Fu and his tribe.
In addition, another reason why Afu's aesthetics is more like that of humans is that she spends more time directly with humans than other tribesmen.
A long time ago, when the 88 raccoon dogs still lived in harmony with humans, the still young Ah Fu often sneaked away to Songshan City.
In the human world, there is a story called "Fengfu Teapot", which is widely circulated. It is said that——
A poor old woman living alone in Songshan City saw a trapped raccoon in the forest one day. She felt sorry for the raccoon and set it free.
That night, the raccoon dog appeared at the old woman's house. In order to thank the old woman for her help, it proposed to sell itself as a tea cauldron in exchange for money.
The next day, the old woman sold the tea cauldron to an old monk.
The old monk took the tea cauldron back to the temple, filled it with water, put it on a shelf and boiled the water, but the raccoon dog that had transformed into the tea cauldron couldn't stand the heat, so it screamed "Wow" and transformed back into a half tea cauldron and half raccoon cat, and escaped back to the old woman's house.
at home.
Next, Li suggested turning it into a tightrope tea cauldron, allowing the old woman to perform on it and open the eyes of nearby residents.
At the end of the story, because of the raccoon dog's actions, the old woman finally had a sum of money that allowed her to spend her old age more stably.
In addition, the old monk who once bought the "Fengfu Tea Cauldron" spread the news about the appearance of the moving tea cauldron in the temple, which attracted an endless stream of pilgrims and made the temple famous far and wide, which also improved the temple's economic situation.
This story of "a civet cat repays a favor" and "sharing a teapot with blessings brings good luck" is actually related to Ah Fu.
It was the stupid things she did when she was still unable to fully transform into a human form and could only learn to transform into simple objects.
In short, when Ah Fu sneaked into human society to play, he surprisingly had a pretty good life.
If Matsuyama City hadn't suddenly attacked the Tanuki tribe, she might have continued to live in friendship with humans.
Let’s not talk about old things.
Now that she has become proficient in illusions and has even achieved a foreign visit, the fox-turned-enchantress is in great distress.
Because she had just learned that her father, Kami Yin Xingbu Tanuki, planned to marry her to a fox.
Ah Fu doesn't like foxes very much.
Although the aesthetics of foxes seem to be more biased towards humans, foxes look cunning and cunning.
It's really not Ah Fu's type.
What Ah Fu is attracted to should be the kind of monster that is tall and strong, full of masculinity, and full of security at first sight.
"Father is so annoying!"
The enchantress of the Tanuki tribe dared to sneak away into human society alone when she was a child. She has a somewhat rebellious character.
Now that it was about her marriage, after much thought, she decided to do something.
"I heard that Nirudo is dead. Without that big monster to stop me, maybe I can leave Iyo?"
…
Yuli Palace.
The Shenyin Xingbu Tanuki was enjoying the wine that Fox Juliushiro had given him earlier.
"belch--"
After another jar of wine was drained, Xing Buli burped happily.
Not to mention, the wine the fox cub brought tasted really good.
Xingbu Tan has already considered the matter of Fox Juliushiro's proposal of marriage.
It was really off-putting at first.
But when you calm down and think about what Fox Juliushi said, it actually makes sense.
That fox cub is obviously a "Sky Fox". In his current weak state, he may not be able to defeat him.
There is no benefit to be gained from a war between foxes and foxes.
The old civet cat, Xingbu Tanuki, is getting old, and his energy has long been lost in the battle against Songshan Castle.
It really doesn't want to start an all-out war with the fox again.
And the external ghost forces are really a problem.
Until now, his subordinates have not found any specific information about the ghost clan's forces.
Taking these factors into consideration, it is indeed a very good idea to let the two tribes of fox and fox coexist peacefully to jointly deal with the possible external invasion, which is beneficial to both sides.
Otherwise, if the ghost tribe really comes over, it will be too late to cooperate with the foxes.
Anyway, it’s not like the fox and fox tribes haven’t cooperated before.
It's just that the foundation for cooperation last time was too weak. If marriage can be used as an opportunity this time, and external threats are added, it may be possible to more stably promote peace between the two races.
But it is still not certain whether Fox Juliushirou's move to propose marriage is really considering the future of the two clans, or whether he has some other calculation.
"The little thoughts of foxes..."
To be honest, Xingbutan couldn't think of any conspiracy that Fox Juliushiro had for the time being.
The only thing I can think of is that if the ghost tribe really attacks, the foxes may use themselves to fight against the enemy.
But this is actually not a problem.
If the foxes really think so, it's not a bad thing.
Why don't the Eight Hundred and Eight Hundred Raccoons want to use Fox Juliushiro to fight against foreign enemies?
They are both foxes with thousands of years of history, so it’s really not certain who is more cunning than the other.
"What are the origins of the ghost clan...the ghost clan...if they really come from Dajiangshan...the ghost forces in Dajiangshan must have been defeated by humans long ago, right? I remember that even Shuten Douji was beheaded. If
It’s really those ghost tribes that are lingering on, uniting with the foxes to use Songshan as a stronghold, waiting for work. Even if there are a certain number of foreign visitors from those ghost tribes, it is not possible for us to come here without preparedness after traveling long distances. "
Xingbu Li held the wine jar, narrowed his big eyes, and thought like this.
At this time, there was a noise outside the hall.
Dangoro stumbled in with his tail between his legs: "General, General, it's not good!"
"Say! What's wrong?"
Xing Buli suddenly felt irritable.
Why do you feel like Dangoro never does anything good every time he enters the Yuriden?
Could it be that the ghost tribe came here?
Seeing the leader's unhappy look, Dangoro Tanuki was trembling, but he had to report the emergency: "Fukuki, Fukuki...she's missing!"
…
It is still the permanent Iyo area.
Somewhere on the border of this area, a shrine and many shrine buildings of different styles were finally built.
This location was carefully selected by the little old man. It is located on the boundary of the Iyo land massif and is a certain distance away from the strongholds of the raccoon and fox forces. It can be used as the "birth point" of the Kamiya River to explore Tsunei Iyo.
Not long after the divine coffin appeared here, the yellow-green fluorescence dormant on it seemed to be inspired by some kind of inspiration, and flew around like fireflies that were disturbed on a summer night.
The light particles rolled into a gorgeous vortex. At the center of the vortex, a wave of feathers swayed out from the waist with a sword. The gorgeous black robe with gold threads was instigated by the light spots and swayed wildly.
Kamiyagawa used his usual old method to successfully reach Iyo.
“It’s pretty big here.”
After Kamiya appeared, he first stared and looked around.
"Abba! Abba!"
The scout clone waiting here excitedly echoed his master.
really.
The territory of Iyo is very vast, not inferior to the Aokigahara Sea of Trees occupied by our own side.
Since it is a large map with a mountainous and forested landscape, it should have sufficient resources and basic materials, making it very suitable for permanent resource development.
It's no wonder that both the raccoon and fox tribes want to completely occupy this place.
Also, Maomao would lead a team to explore here before, because it felt that the resources and materials here were relatively abundant.
After completing the descent, Kamiya found a flat location near the sacred tree and fumbled for the "Conductor's Key" of the Kisaragi train.
Using this unique prop, another building rose from the ground, rumbling and flipping into shape.
Before Kamiyagawa explores the Tokisai area himself, he must first build the infrastructure.
Wherever people go, convenient transportation networks are laid out.
This is also an old tradition of the Takamagahara forces.
After the Kisaragi platform was formed, within a few minutes, a Kisaragi train roared through the void and stopped smoothly at the edge of the platform.
The car door opened, and out came seven people, Gozen, Golden Bear Doji, and Star Bear Doji.
"Daosheng, and Xingxiong, follow me to visit the raccoon tribe. The others, please stay by the Kisaragi platform. Little old man, please stay here alone."
When Kamiya came to Iyo this time, he didn't expect to start a fight as soon as he got there.
Not long ago, the Maomao Team exterminated the nirvana in this realm. Xing Xiong was the party involved in this matter. He brought her to see the raccoons mainly to talk about this matter.
Killing an Aragami on someone else's territory requires some explanation.
In addition, there is an old grudge between Daosheng and Babaiqi.
The life and death of Daosheng are unclear, and there are also many doubts about the attack of the raccoons on the former Songshan Castle.
Kamiyakawa felt that something was going on here.
There are some hidden things that students have never understood clearly.
I came here to clarify these old things.
Although these two incidents seem to be somewhat sharp, the "peace-loving" Takamagahara forces still intend to "be polite first" and seek reconciliation. Whether they want to "rearrange troops" depends on the situation.
Even if the Huali forces really have an irreconcilable hostile relationship with Gao Tianyuan...
Then there is a group of fox demons in this place who may be recruited and cultivated into "pro-Takamagahara forces".
The other thing is to arrange for the remaining six Gozen and the Golden Bear to stay around Kisaragi Station.
The station has been built, so of course we need to take care of it first.
If reconciliation and consensus can be reached with a certain local force in Iyo, it will become a hub for personnel circulation and exchanges.
After all, Golden Bear has the strength of an Arakami, and Chihiro Miyauchi among the six remaining emperors is very clever.
This configuration has both strength and wisdom. Even if a fox demon or raccoon demon discovers Kamiya River while exploring the Iyo area, unnecessary bloodshed will not occur until the situation is completely clear.
When everything was ready, Kamiya called the scouts, Inao and Hoshikuma, and headed directly towards Iyo Matsuyama.
One of them, Hoshikuma Doji, took a few steps forward, then looked back at Kisaragi Station and Takamagahara Kamito with a slightly subtle expression.
Although Kamiya led the team here this time, he said he was coming to Iyo to see the situation.
But the Iyo area looks really good and very suitable for development.
And Kamiya has already built the sacred tower and station...
The heart of Kamiya River is clearly revealed!
Xingxiong has some experience in this regard.
According to the past process, once Kamiya builds these two infrastructures in a certain area of Jianshi, it will not be too long before the local area will be covered by the influence of Takamagahara's forces, and eventually become part of the territory of Takamagahara's forces.
Although there are local monster forces here in Iyo, it is not a land without one.
But Kamiyagawa and his shrewd subordinates are extremely good at power management.
Especially for Jiji, Xingxiong felt that the smart mermaid princess was learning and absorbing new ideas all the time.
In the past high-level meetings, Xingxiong had even heard from the Jiji more than once regarding the principles and policies for the development of power, such as——
"Means of production", "industrialization model to expand production", "capital technology export", "civilization mission", "foreign oppression is not conducive to eternal unity", "attracting the inflow of external monster labor", "prohibition of discrimination policies", "equal rights protection"
”, “improving living standards”, “achieving monster assimilation” and a series of strange terms.
In short, even Xingxiong, who has not yet fully understood this theory, can confirm one thing:
In terms of the size of the current Takamagahara forces and the internal operating model, it is possible to achieve dimensionality reduction strikes against any small-scale monster forces that may exist in the ordinary world.
And this kind of attack definitely does not only exist at the level of force.
Kamiyagawa and his men really have many countermeasures to achieve control over the entire world.
Hoshikuma had a hunch that with the arrival of Kamiya, Iyo might become a "vassal force" of Takamagahara.
Even if it is not used by force, the resources and monster labor here will probably continue to flow into the core control area of Takamagahara through a relatively gentle communication method.
How terrible...
People like Kamiyagawa.
However, as a member of the Takamagahara forces who have now been integrated into it, and as a representative of the ghost clan.
Xingxiong felt that it was still necessary for him to learn from Ishime and others the management ideas for the expansion of operational power.
Anyway, you definitely can’t expect the Golden Bear to learn this.
The guy himself was managed in a submissive manner.
