Chapter 492 Ogata, who wants to change from a two-sword swordsman to a multi-gun swordsman 【Explosion 1W】
"Ahem."
Chepke coughed softly a few times.
After hearing Chepke's coughs, everyone present stopped talking and turned to look at Chepke.
"Many of you may be wondering: Why should I propose to join Heye Zhe?"
After everyone present fell silent, Chepke said slowly.
"I will tell you the reasons one by one now."
"First of all - I just said that those white-skinned people who escaped may bring people to take revenge in the future."
"As we are now, there is no way we can fight against those white-skinned people."
After hearing what Chepke said, some people showed quite unhappy expressions.
But they only showed their displeasure, but did not speak out to refute Chepke.
Everything they experienced last night had made them fully realize how powerful these white-skinned people were.
"Now, if we want to avoid another attack by the white-skinned people, the best choice is to join a powerful settlement."
"Although Kuma Village and other villages are not weak villages, in comparison, Heye Zhe is stronger."
"Heye Zhe is sitting in the camp left by the white-skinned people." Chepke continued, "And there are many people and strong strength. If you choose to join them, it will undoubtedly be the safest."
"Secondly - I have some personal relationship with Chanup of Heyezhe, and Heyezhe has always taken in those poor settlements since its establishment."
"More than a year ago, we just took in a group of settlements that were defeated in the war with Kazuto."
"If I were to go to Heyezhe in person and discuss the surrender with Chanupu, I would have a high success rate."
"I believe that Chanup, who is in charge of the entire Heyezhe, will definitely agree to let our Qina Village live in Heyezhe."
Chepke explained in a concise and concise manner the reasons why he proposed to "submit to Heyezhe".
The atmosphere at the scene fell into silence.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you.
Finally - an old man sitting next to Chepke said softly.
"We have surrendered to Heye Zhe... Our village must be subject to many restrictions, and we will no longer be as free as we are now..."
The old man's words made the atmosphere a little more "heavy" on the basis of "silence".
"...There is nothing we can do about it." Chepke crossed his arms and lowered his head and whispered softly, "It is better to lose freedom than to be attacked by white-skinned people again..."
"...The fair-skinned man may not come again." Someone sneered.
"It's true that white-skinned people may not come back," Chepke said, "but I don't want to bet on this possibility."
After saying that, Chepke glanced at the faces of everyone in front of him.
"How? Is there anyone who agrees with my plan to join 'Heye Zhe'?"
"...I agree." Manakor, who basically wore the same pants as Chepke, said first, "Just like what Chepke said, it is best for us to join Heye Zhe now.
The safest option.”
After Manakor spoke, voices of agreement sounded in twos and threes.
Suddenly, someone seemed to have thought of something and shouted.
"That's right!" the man said excitedly, "How about we try to let that Majima Goro stay in our village?"
"Let him marry a girl from our village, or use some other method."
"That Majima Goro is so skilled. If he can stay in our village..."
Before the man finished speaking, Chepke said with a wry smile:
"I've had this idea before."
"I called Majima Goro this morning and asked him if he wanted to stay in our village."
"It's a pity - he has no intention of staying in our village."
When Chepke finished speaking, the head of the man who had just suggested that Ogata stay in the village immediately drooped like a dry flower.
"Is there anyone who agrees to 'submit to Heye Zhe'?" Chepke scanned the faces of everyone present again.
In the end - most of the people chose to nod.
"That's good." Chepke said softly, "This kind of thing cannot be delayed."
"If those white-skinned people who escaped really plan to bring more people to take revenge, God knows when they will come back."
"I will leave for Heyezhena today to discuss with Chanup."

[Ding! Use Wuwo Sword Style and Flow to defeat the enemy]
[Acquire 90 points of personal experience and 90 points of swordsmanship "Wuwo Sword Style" experience]
[Ding! When the experience is full, your personal level will be upgraded by 1, and you will gain 1 skill point]
[Currently remaining skill points: 3 points]
After Da Shiten's scabbard touched Skulucci's belly, the system's beep sounded in Ogata's mind.
——Oh, it just happened to be upgraded.
After defeating Skruchi, Ogata gained 90 experience points for his personal level. He just upgraded from level 37 to 38 and gained 1 experience point.
Counting the 2 points saved previously, Ogata currently has 3 skill points.
——Skill points are really getting harder and harder to obtain...
After complaining in a helpless tone in his heart, Ogata put his scabbard back.
"It's really impressive." Skulucci raised his stabbing sword upside down and clapped his hands, "I am convinced that I lost. I didn't make any reservations just now, but you seemed to be able to do it with ease."
While Ogata and Scrooge were bowing to each other, Amachi was happily dividing the property.
Because there are fewer people betting on Ogata to win, and more people betting on Skruchi, everyone who bets on Ogata winning gets a very large amount of property.
A-Machi was not interested in the coins of Lucia Country at all. She was only interested in two things - an exotic knife and a weird toy that was only as big as a palm.
That toy is a wooden doll.
After A-Machi picked up the wooden doll out of curiosity, an enthusiastic guy showed him how to play the toy.
It turns out that this wooden doll is hollow.
After opening the wooden doll's head, there was a doll that was exactly the same style, but one inch smaller.
Then the head of this one-inch smaller doll was armored, and another smaller one-inch doll was placed inside.
This wooden doll, which is only the size of a palm, actually contains 7 smaller and smaller dolls of the same style.
After watching this enthusiastic guy demonstrate how to play the toy, Atachi became even more interested in the toy.
So - Omachi only took the knife and the weird toy, and then ran to Ogata excitedly, showing Ogata the two things she had just won.
"Look!" Ating said, "I just won it."
"For things like gambling, it's okay to do it occasionally, but don't get too addicted and don't gamble too much money." Ogata said to Amachi in a somewhat reproachful tone.
Ogata doesn't like gambling and has always had some resistance to gambling.
This kind of thing with a predetermined outcome cannot be called gambling - Ating whispered in his heart.
Considering that if he said these words out loud, Scrooge might be unhappy, A-Machi chose to just keep these words in his heart.
"Huh? What is this?" Ogata noticed the strange toy in Amachi's hand at this time.
"This is how this toy works." After that, Atachi showed Ogata how to play this toy.
After seeing a smaller wooden doll hidden inside this wooden doll, Ogata thought to himself:
——Isn’t this just a Russian matryoshka doll?
In Ogata's previous life, even people who knew nothing about the country Russia knew about this famous toy.
Scrooge, who was still standing in front of Ogata, spoke up and introduced Amachi:
"This is a very famous toy in the country of Lucia, called 'Matryoshka'. It is a very famous toy of ours. It is so famous that it is even exported to other countries in large quantities."
Scrooge picked up the scabbard that had been thrown aside just now, and then said to Ogata:
"Mr. Majima, thank you for your teaching just now. I haven't met someone with such powerful swordsmanship as you for a long time."
"With your skills, you will definitely become a hot commodity in various countries when you arrive on the continent of Europa!"
"The more I think about it, the more unimaginable I find it. In this desolate area where there is nothing but snow, I can encounter an expert like you."
"It's like finding an egg in a pile of chicken poop - and it's an egg with two yolks."
Listening to Scrooge's somewhat weird metaphor, Ogata couldn't help laughing.
"If I wasn't looking for someone, I wouldn't want to come to this wilderness."
What Ogata said is true.
How can living in such an underdeveloped area in the wilderness be as comfortable as in a big city like Edo or Kyoto?
If it weren't for looking for Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen, Ogata felt that he would never set foot on Ezo in his life.
"Speaking of finding people..." A smile appeared on Skulucci's face, "Like you, I am also recruiting people..."
"When I was about to tell you the name of the Kazuto I'm looking for now last night, I was forced to interrupt because the nearby village was raided."
"I haven't told you the name of the person I'm looking for yet."
"Mr. Majima, are you free next?"
"I'd like to ask you nicely if you've heard of the name of the man I'm looking for."
"We don't have anything urgent to do next," Ogata said, "but I don't think you should place too much hope on us. My wife and I are both very ill-informed people, even if you want to find someone now
What kind of celebrity is that person? My wife and I may not have heard of his name."
"It doesn't matter." Skulucci waved his hand, "Things like clues are very magical. They often appear in some strange places and among some unexpected people."
…
…
After Skulucci led Ogata and Atachi back to his tent, he quickly walked to the large sack placed in the corner of the tent and opened it.
"Ah, I'm so thirsty. Damn it, where did I put my wine? Oh! I found it."
After Scrooge yelled, he took out a large black bottle and a cup from the sack.
Scrooge poured the black-reddish liquid contained in the big black bottle into a cup and drank it happily.
"What is this?" A-Machi cast a confused look at the big black bottle in Skulucci's hand.
"This is wine." Scrulucci put down the glass in his hand and wiped his mouth. "Wine made from grapes. This bottle of wine I have is a good thing. It comes from Burgundy in France."
Amachi didn't know where France was, nor what the wine from France's Burgundy represented, but she was very interested in "wine".
"Wine made from grapes?" Amachi's eyes lit up.
In the Edo period, when supplies were scarce and the circulation of goods was inconvenient, grapes were a veritable luxury product. Only those high-ranking officials had the financial resources and channels to purchase grapes for consumption.
Growing up, A-Machi only ate grapes once by chance.
The sweet and sour taste directly conquered A-Machi's taste buds.
It's a pity that since then, Atachi has never had the opportunity to eat grapes.
The wine made from sweet and sour grapes must be delicious--Ah Machi fantasized about it.
"Want to have a taste?" Skulucci shook the bottle in his hand again, "If you want to have a taste, you have to bring out the cup yourself. I don't have any extra cups here."
"Yes! I have a cup!"
Atachi took off a bamboo tube hanging from his waist.
This bamboo tube is the water bottle that Omachi carries with him, and there are 2 or 3 pieces of water left in it.
After drinking all the water in the bamboo tube in one breath, Atachi handed the bamboo tube to Scrooge.
Scrooge filled Atachi's bamboo tube in one breath, and then cast a questioning look at Ogata.
"Mr. Majima, do you want a drink?"
"No." Ogata shook his head, "I won't drink anymore."
After saying that, Ogata turned his head slightly and secretly observed A-machi's reaction with some expectation on his face.
Ogata is no stranger to wine.
In his previous life, Ogata had tasted wine.
He has a very deep impression of wine.
When he was young, he thought that wine made from grapes would taste as sweet and sour as grapes and would be very delicious.
It wasn't until the drinks were in his mouth that Ogata realized that he had been deceived by this extremely deceptive name.
At that time, Ogata even went on the Internet to search "Why does wine not taste like grapes?"
Ogata just noticed the way Omachi's eyes were shining.
So he was sure that A-Machi, who had never seen or drank wine, was definitely deceived by the name of wine just like he was before.
But Ogata didn't remind Amachi out loud.
Instead, with the mentality of watching a good show and teasing Amachi, he quietly looked at Amachi who was taking back the bamboo tube full of wine with an expectant look on his face.
As soon as A-Machi handed the bamboo tube to his mouth, his brows furrowed slightly.
Because she discovered that the smell of the wine did not have the sweetness of grapes.
Her movements became hesitant.
But in the end, she handed the bamboo tube to her mouth and poured the wine in the tube into her mouth.
The moment the drink entered his throat, Amachi's eyes widened for a moment, and then he raised his hand to cover his mouth tightly, as if he was blocking his mouth to prevent the drink from spitting out.
Looking at this scene, Xu almost laughed out loud, but fortunately, he pinched his thighs with his hands in time and bit the lips on the inside of his mouth, successfully blocking the laughter in his throat.
After forcibly swallowing the drink in his mouth, Ating looked at the bamboo tube in his hand with an expression of disbelief.
"Why doesn't this wine taste like grapes?"
Ogata wanted to praise Amachi: She is indeed my wife.
My first reaction after drinking wine for the first time was exactly the same as his.
"I don't know why." Scrooge shrugged, "Although I love drinking, I have never understood what wine is made of."
"If you don't like it, just pour it. Anyway, I have plenty of wine."
"That's not okay..." Ating muttered, "That would be too rude."
After saying that, A-Machi endured the bitter taste of the wine and poured the wine in the bamboo tube into his mouth again.
While A-Machi and Shuine were fighting hard, Ogata finally calmed down his smile and turned his attention to Scrooge.
"Skullucci, tell us the name of the person you are looking for."
"I will try my best to help you imagine whether I have heard this name in my previous life."
"Who is the person you are looking for?" Atachi, who now has a bitter look, put down the bamboo tube with half of the wine left in his hand and asked Skulucci, "I heard what Ayaka said before.
Say, you seem to have been looking for that person."
"That person can be regarded as someone who has influenced my life." A look of memory slowly appeared on Skulucci's face. "Without him, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today."
"I was born in a place called Scotland."
Scrooge placed the wine glass in his hand aside casually, then sat down on the hammock next to him.
"My hometown is a very poor place."
"My father died young, and my mother raised me alone."
"Mother, he listened to other people's lies and mistakenly believed that the country of Lucia in Eastern Europe was a peaceful land where everyone could live and work in peace and contentment."
"So my mother tried her best and finally raised enough money to successfully take me out of Scotland and to the country of Lucia in Eastern Europe."
"Ah, the so-called Eastern Europe can be understood as the eastern region of the Europa continent. You should all know where the Europa continent is, right?"
Ogata and Atachi nodded.
Although A-Ting couldn't tell the difference between countries and regions such as England, Scotland, and France, she still understood what Europa was and where it was roughly located.
“After arriving in the country of Lucia, I realized that this place is not as good as Scotland.”
Scrooge shrugged.
"Just in terms of security and peace, it is far inferior to Scotland."
"Not long after arriving in Eastern Europe, my mother and I encountered a group of horse thieves."
"In order to save me, my mother hid me and then went to lure away the group of horse thieves alone."
"Since then, I have been living alone."
"There is a peculiar class in the country of Lucia called 'serfs'."
"The so-called serfs are just as the literal meaning says - slaves."
"The serfs were allocated a piece of land from the serf owner. In exchange, they had to cultivate the lord's land for free, perform various labor services, and turn over most of the products of their labor."
"They were tied to the land and lived a life similar to that of slaves, so everyone called them serfs."
"The serfs revolted every three days."
"The place where I was at that time was the hardest hit area by the uprising. Serfs would rise up and cause trouble every three days, and wars would break out every day."
"It's really a situation where wars are constantly going on, which is really an advantage for me."
"My only way to make money at that time was to go to various battlefields that no one had cleaned yet, steal weapons, and then resell them."
"Not long after I started doing this kind of petty theft, I met that person..."
The look of memories on Skulucci's face became more intense.
"He adopted me for a while, but it only lasted three months."
"Three months later, I broke away from him and joined the Cossacks because I wanted to get away with myself. I became a member of the Cossacks."
"Having said that...I am already 32 years old this year. I met and left that person when I was 12 years old."
"That was 20 years ago."
"Twenty years have passed. Even if that person is not dead, he is probably already gray-haired."
"You've only been with him for three months, but you can't forget him all the time." Amachi said, "It seems that you have a really deep feeling for that person..."
"After all, he is the person who has influenced my life." Skulucci said with a smile, "He is a swordsman from Japan in the Far East."
"He told me that he would definitely return to China in the future."
"The reason why I came to the Far East this time is actually because I took the initiative."
"The reason is to come here to find him. To see if he is alive or... dead."
"In order to find him more easily, I studied Japanese very hard."
"Twenty years ago, when he was saying goodbye, he gave me a small gift. And I have always kept this small gift. It can be regarded as a token of me and him."
After saying that, Scrooge reached into his arms and took out a neatly folded piece of paper.
Scrooge unfolded the paper and handed it to Ogata.
"That person likes to draw. So when he was leaving, he gave me this painting."
Ogata took the painting handed over by Skulucci and took a closer look - then his expression froze.
At this time, Atachi, who was on the side, also leaned his head over, looked at the painting, and then showed an extremely shocked expression like Ogata.
The reason why the two of them showed such expressions was not because of how beautiful the painting was.
But this painting is extremely difficult to see.
The paper is severely yellowed, perhaps due to countless folds, and some small holes have appeared on the edges of the drawing paper.
In the center of the picture, there are two "alien".
These two "aliens" that barely have humanoid shapes stand side by side.
"Although that man likes painting, his painting skills are really poor." Skulucci said with a bitter smile, "The two 'things' in the painting are actually me and him."
"This is the picture he painted of 'me and him standing side by side.'"
"He used this painting as a parting gift, which is very meaningful."
"It's a pity that he and I in the painting are so ugly that we can't recognize that they are actually two people."
The reason why Atachi looked shocked was simply because he was so ugly by this painting.
The reason for the emotional shock was more complicated.
In addition to being struck by the ugliness of the painting, it was also because - he found that the painting looked very familiar.
He had seen such ugly strokes before.
And I've seen it many times.
A name appeared in Ogata's mind unconsciously.
Ogata subconsciously turned the painting in his hand around, wanting to see if there was any painting on the back of the paper.
There is no painting on the back of the paper.
But there is one sentence.
A sentence written in Japanese that Ogata is very familiar with.
The moment this sentence came into view, Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly.
A-Machi was also stunned.
Skulucci's voice sounded faintly:
"Mr. Majima, I think that man must have some connection with you."
"Because he uses the same sword as you."
Scrooge stared directly at Ogata with a somewhat fiery gaze.
"The name of this person who is very important to me is... Kinoshita Genichi."
The words written on the back of the painting are - Kinoshita Genichi presented to Skuluch Dovnar.
Since he left Edo and went to Ezo, he hadn't seen or heard this name for a long time.
"Last night, I recognized the swordsmanship you used. It was Kinoshita Genichi's swordsmanship - Mugo Two Sword Style."
Scrooge said slowly.
"Besides the fact that I really want to compete with you, a swordsman who can kill more than thirty Cossacks in a row, I also want to confirm whether the swordsmanship you use is really the Wuwo-sword style."
"The blade reflex, flow, and step you use are all the same as what Mr. Kinoshita used before."
Scrooge's eyes looking at Ogata became more and more intense.
Although he tried his best to hide it, there was still a bit of urgency in Skulucci's tone.
"Can you tell me what your relationship is with Mr. Kinoshita? How is Mr. Kinoshita doing now? Is he still alive?"
Scrooge spit out many questions to Ogata like a barrage of questions.
Faced with this series of questions thrown by Skulucci, Ogata did not answer immediately.
Because he was still in shock.
In this remote wilderness, a Cossack I met by chance actually had a very deep connection with Kinoshita Genichi.
Ogata never imagined that he could encounter such a frighteningly low probability.
Genichi once traveled to Europe for a short period of time, and did not return home until he was 54 years old - Ogata still knew this.
According to Skulucci - he met Kinoshita Genichi 20 years ago and was adopted by him for three months.
20 years ago, Genichi was only 44 years old - the time coincides with it. It is indeed very possible that Genichi at this period is still wandering around somewhere in Europe.
He has encountered many enemies of Yuan Yi.
Ogata had learned profoundly about Genichi's nature as a "trouble maker" in Edo.
The "grand occasion" where a bunch of people who had a grudge against Kinoshita Genichi gathered in Edo just after hearing that "Kinoshita Genichi might be in Edo" left a deep impression on Ogata.
In Ogata's impression, the only people he met who were related to Kinoshita Genichi but had no enmity with Kinoshita Genichi were the Fuma from Kyoto and the Calabash House group.
Seeing Ogata's delay in speaking, Scrooge had to hesitate and said:
"Mr. Kinoshita...isn't he no longer alive?"
"You misunderstood." Ogata finally spoke out, "The reason why I remained silent was just because I was surprised to meet someone who had no grudge against Kinoshita Genichi and was actually beholden to him."
Hearing Ogata's words, Scrooge was stunned for a moment.
Then he showed a wry smile:
"That's right... It's normal for you to be surprised... After all, Mr. Kinoshita is a person who really likes to make trouble and make all kinds of enemies for himself."
"I only lived and ate with him for three months, and three enemies came to my door."
"The three months I lived and ate with him really made me suffer a lot."
"But - even though I suffered a lot, those three months were also the three months that allowed me to transform."
"I originally thought about traveling to Japan and landing directly on the Japanese mainland to look for him."
"However, Japan has implemented a national lockdown, and with my appearance, I cannot even enter Japan."
Scrooge poked his tall nose.
"If a foreigner like me lands on Japanese soil, he will be immediately arrested by Japanese officials and then beheaded."
"So I can only go around asking about Mr. Kinoshita's whereabouts like I am now."
"I have nothing else to ask for, I just hope to know whether Mr. Kinoshita is still alive..."
Ogata looked deeply at Scrooge who looked at him with almost pleading eyes.
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath.
While returning the painting in his hand to Skulucci, he slowly said:
"...I am a friend of Yuan Yi, and at the same time...I can also be regarded as his half-disciple."
"Let's call it a teacher-friend relationship."
"Genichi is still alive and his body is very strong. He doesn't look like an old man who is over 60 years old at all."
"You can still swing your knife with all your strength and drink heavily."
"I have been separated from him for some time, so I don't know where he is now or what he is doing."
"but……"
A slight smile appeared on Ogata's face.
"I believe he must be huddled in the corner holding the wine bottle as usual, drinking his 'oolong tea', and painting a few paintings when he is in a good mood."
"'Oolong tea'?" Skulucci raised an eyebrow, and then showed a nostalgic expression, "What a familiar term... It seems that you do have a deep connection with Mr. Kinoshita, and you are not familiar with Mr. Kinoshita.
People must not know what ‘oolong tea’ is.”
"Mr. Kinoshita, at such an old age, are you still drinking that kind of wine that can ignite your body... It seems that he is indeed in good health."
After saying that, Scrooge let out a sigh of relief.
"Since Mr. Kinoshita is still alive, I feel relieved..."
"Mr. Majima. If you meet Mr. Kinoshita in the future, can you give him a message for me?"
"That's fine," Ogata said, "but I don't know when I can see him again."
"It may be a long time before we meet him again."
"It doesn't matter." Scrooge shook his head, "As long as you can carry the message for me, it doesn't matter when you deliver the message to him."
"Please tell him for me: 'Skullucci is living well now and moving forward straight on his own path.'"
Ogata nodded: "Remember it. When I meet Genichi again in the future, I will bring the words to you."
"Then I'll bother you."
After finishing speaking, Scrooge let out a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Majima, I owe you a big favor." Scrooge showed a faint smile, "I have been looking for news about Mr. Kinoshita for so long, and I finally have a result."
Scrooge bowed solemnly to Ogata.
"Knowing that Mr. Kinoshita is still very healthy, the big stone that has been hanging in my heart for 20 years has finally fallen to the ground."
"Thank you."
…
…
Ogata and Atachi walked out of Skulchi's camp side by side.
"I never expected that the Skulci I met by chance was actually adopted by Mr. Gendai..." As soon as he walked out of Skulluci's camp, Obon sighed to Amachi, "What a wonderful fate...
"
"I'm a little envious of Scrooge." At this time, A-Machi said with a bitter smile, "He has already found the whereabouts of the person he is looking for."
"And the two of us have basically gained nothing now..."
After saying that, Amachi let out a long sigh and then put on a serious face.
"Where should we go next to look for clues about Xuan Zheng and Xuan Zhen?"
"Qina Village is the last village Aiyaka can take us to."
"If we can't find any clues in Qina Village, Aiyaka will be helpless, and we will have to go to the new village to look for clues ourselves."
"There's no need to rush this kind of thing." Ogata smiled freely, "If you can't find any clues here in Qina Village, just keep going north and look for new villages for clues."
"Are you being too optimistic?" Amachi said angrily.
"It's useless to be anxious about this kind of thing." Ogata said, "Yesterday we only had time to ask a small number of people in Qina Village. There are still many people who haven't been asked."
"With the current situation in Qina Village, it is not appropriate for us to ask the villagers any questions now."
"Let's stay in Qina Village for a while now."
"After the emotions of the villagers in Qina Village have stabilized, we will continue to ask the villagers who did not have time to ask yesterday whether they have any information about Xuan Zheng and Xuan Zhen."
"I will also take this time to teach you how to ride a horse."
"With horses, our future movements will be much easier."
"At the same time, you and I will take advantage of this time to learn from Skulucci how to load the Kentucky long rifle and the short blunderbuss used by their Cossacks."
Before heading to Skuluch's camp, while Atachi was still washing Ogata's hair, Ogata and Atachi had already planned how to divide the weapons collected from Vladimir's people.
2 war horses, 5 Kentucky long rifles, all short muskets - this is what Ogata and the others planned to take.
Although the short blunderbuss used by the Cossacks most likely would not be able to fire continuously like Sakura and Kasumi Nagi.
When Alexei planned to kill Ogata with a short blunderbuss, Ogata saw with his own eyes the appearance of the short blunderbuss they used - this style of short blunderbuss did not look like it could fire continuously.
But even if it is a single-shot short gun, it is a good thing that cannot be ignored.
Ogata would not mind having too few pistols on his body.
He couldn't wait to quickly transform from a "two-sword swordsman" to a "multi-gun swordsman" with pistols on his back.
In the future, when facing an enemy who doesn't need respect, just pull out your pistol and do it suddenly.
Before, I only had one pistol, Kasumi Nagi, and it didn't have enough bullets. So I only used it in critical moments.
If a large number of pistols and a sufficient number of bullets can be collected from Vladimir's people, the strength of Ogata and Atachi will undoubtedly increase dramatically.
When leaving Skulucci's camp just now, Skulucci expressed to Ogata and the others very excitedly - in order to repay this huge favor, if Ogata and the others encounter any trouble in the future and need help, feel free to come.
Find him. Whatever he can do to help, he will do his best to help.
If Skulucci were asked to teach Ogata how to use the Kentucky long rifle and how to use the short blunderbuss used by their Cossacks, Skulucci would definitely not refuse.
"If we can't find any information here in Qina Village, we will leave and look for clues elsewhere." Ogata continued.
"A-Machi, don't worry, you can always find clues."
Ogaoyan briefly and comprehensively explained the plans he had planned for the coming period.
The arrangement made by Ogata was well-founded and well-organized, with no faults to be found. After thinking about it, A-Machi nodded gently.
But after nodding, Atachi flattened his lips and reminded Ogata:
"I know this kind of thing can't be rushed."
"But I think it would be better for you to have more urgency."
"I always feel that you seem to have no sense of urgency now and are taking your time."
"If time passes too long, the 'immortal poison' in your body may spread again..."
Skulucci's camp is not too far from Qina Village. It only takes 10 minutes to make the round trip on foot.
The two talked as they walked and soon returned to Qina Village.
After returning to Qina Village, Ogata found that the village seemed a little noisy.
With doubts in mind, I walked towards the place where the noise originated, and saw many villagers surrounding the village chief of Chepuke, chattering there.
Ogata's three-legged cat, Ainu, couldn't understand what they were saying.
Ogata looked around, looking for someone who could speak Japanese and could help him explain what Chief Chepke was doing.
What a coincidence - Ogata found it right away.
Not far from Ogata, a middle-aged man was standing.
Ogata recognized this middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man just visited Ogata and the others with Chepke this morning, acting as Chepke's translator.
Ogata walked quickly and asked the middle-aged man what happened.
The middle-aged man first said hello respectfully to Ogata, who had been a great benefactor to their village, and then explained briefly and concisely why so many villagers gathered around Chepke.
…
…
"Heye Zhe?" Ogata cast a confused look at the middle-aged man.
After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation just now, Ogata finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that for the safety of the village, Chepke planned to lead the whole village to join Heye Zhe in the future.
Chepke just informed the whole village of the news.
The villagers surrounding Chepke now are all those who are opposed to joining Heyezhe, and they are shouting their "opposition to joining" demands to Chepke.
"Where is Heye Zhe?" Ogata asked the middle-aged man, "Is it the name of a village?"
"Heye Zhe... If you say it is a village, you are right." The middle-aged man said in somewhat non-standard Japanese, "A long time ago, the climate in the north suddenly became harsh."
"The climate is so bad that no one can live there anymore."
"So a group of Ainu compatriots living in the north went south to find new homes."
"After going south, they found a large wall made of wood left by the white-skinned people."
"This wall made of wood just forms a circle."
"So they moved into the circle made of wooden walls and settled there."
"After living inside the wooden wall, they named their brand new home 'He Ye Zhe'."
"I remember that 'He Ye Zhe' is quite famous among you and others. Those merchants who usually come to our village to trade with us always talk about 'He Ye Zhe'."
"But neither you nor others call that place 'He Ye Zhe', but call it 'Red Moon Fortress'."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Ogata's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
"...Excuse me, can you tell me more about Red Moon Fortress...ah, no, about Heye Zhe?" Ogata said.

This kind of achievement is unlikely to be maintained for a long time. These few days should be regarded as the peak of this book's achievements.
