Warlock of the Marvel Universe

When the two met, it was as exaggerated as if they were going to sing a big river opera.Noriko Sato, no, according to what she calls herself, her real name should be Noriko Ashina or Noriko Ashina.

"Second Lieutenant Zaemon, you're welcome." The visitor kindly helped Noriko Ashina up.

"I'm scared." This move made Noriko Ashina feel flattered.Because in her impression, because of the Uesugi nobleman whose pseudonym is Murakami, even when people who are more important than herself salute him, they will just nod in vain, or even turn a blind eye. .Where can I lean down and reach out to help?

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and when you are polite, you must ask for something.But what do the nobles of the public family want to get from themselves?Could it be that...it's impossible? Anyway, Noriko Ashina doesn't believe that others are interested in her.Although she was young and beautiful, she was not a queen, and the gap between the two in terms of blood and status was too big.

Yes, Ashina Aizu Mamoru, from the perspective of his ancestors, can be regarded as the lord of a country and a city, but compared with what he is now, he is as different as clouds and mud, whether it is now or in the past.

Now Mr. Murakami is one of the five fingers of the Hand. Every Yakuza organization in the world, especially those in Japan, is afraid of hearing this.However, although I run a small and dynamic organization, it is actually quite satisfactory. In Japan, if an organization of this size has gone overseas, how can it be regarded differently?

And if we talk about the past, there is no comparison. Mr. Murakami’s real name is Uesugi Shigefusa.The Uesugi family comes from the Fujiwara family, one of the four major families, which is also one of the public families. The first generation of the family governor was Uesugi Shigefusa, who was a very prominent figure during the Kamakura shogunate period.

Later, the Uesugi family spread out and married the shoguns of the Ashikaga Shogunate. One of them served as the governor of Kanto and commanded the ten daimyo of the Kanto kingdom.Although he declined later, he also adopted the adopted daughter of Nagao Kagetora, who later became famous as the Dragon of Echigo Uesugi Kenshin.

But what about yourself?His ancestor was just a minor daimyo in Oulu, and Ashina's reputation as a thief of the country was widely known at that time. In terms of bloodline, he could only climb randomly. Even the position of Aizu Mamoru was always self-proclaimed, and the shogunate never had a positive attitude. responded.

With such an origin, in the eyes of Mr. Uesugi Shigefusa, he is probably almost a pariah.How could a public family that values ​​bloodline take a fancy to me?

It is said that this is all thanks to his ancestors, who enshrined a precious secret.Lord Shigefusa Uesugi thought about this old relationship and secretly took care of it. When the imperial government invaded that year, the Ashina family should have been extinct.

"Uesugi-sama, please have some tea."

"Just call me Murakami, and I'll have a taste of the Ashina family's tea ceremony."

It seems that no one with status is willing to speak directly.When two Japanese people meet and act like they are singing a Taiga opera, they naturally have to drink tea before getting down to business.

But looking at their looks, you can tell that drinking tea is not as simple as soaking it in water and drinking it up your neck. It must be a so-called tea ceremony.And looking at Noriko Ashina's posture, she still used the same posture before Sen Rikyu deleted it. In other words, after saying "please have tea," you have to wait for almost an hour with your eyes open before you can actually drink it. First sip of tea.

Murakami sits on the ground with his legs crossed, the soles of his feet facing each other, and his left and right knees spread apart from each other. It is said that this posture can reflect the dignity of the public.But Murakami felt that whether there was any dignity or not was a matter of consideration first, but even with my current level of cultivation, sitting like this felt almost like being tortured.

Please, can't you keep up with the times?Do I really look like such a polite person?If so, I would have to dye my teeth black and shave off my eyebrows before this meeting!But in order to get things done, I had to take a stand first.Really, I haven’t sat like this in at least a hundred years, um... the tendons in my thighs are about to break...

"Is there anything wrong? Murakami-sama?" Noriko Ashina squatted there, filtered the water that had just been drawn from the well, poured it into a clay pot, and put it on the small stove where Wu Lanhe made charcoal. The fire started, and just when he was about to clean the tea set, he saw that Murakami's expression was a little abnormal, so he asked nervously.

Murakami awkwardly took out a bat fan, covered his face below the bridge of his nose, and said in a tone of voice, "Nothing... the water is good, but you should use my tea set and tea leaves."

All I can say now is that I can’t say that I am a man who is a model of etiquette. The first generation governor of Noble Uesugi, due to lack of practice for a long time, he felt the tendons in his thighs after sitting on the floor for less than 10 minutes. Is it about to break?

"My little girl was not well prepared. Please forgive me." Noriko Ashina bowed down and bowed down. It may not be a big deal now, but drinking tea was a very serious matter in the past. Whoever drank more sips took less sips. What was the posture of serving tea? No, those stupid warriors stood up and drew their knives, either stabbing others or themselves.

Now the tea leaves and tea sets that I prepared are not worthy of the other person's identity. This is a very serious problem, but Noriko Ashina is helpless. Where can I get a tea set that matches yours?I can't sell myself just to have tea with you, can I? !

"Don't worry about it." Murakami took the bat fan and tapped on his phone. At this time, a ninja in black from the Hand fell from the sky, holding a wooden box carefully.

But just as the ninja was about to send the things in, he saw Murakami suddenly bounce up from the ground, walked to the door and took the box over, which made the ninja confused.

Murakami came back holding the box and looked like he didn't sit down for a long time.Noriko Ashina guessed that there must be a particularly expensive tea set inside, and only Murakami-sama would show such a look.

After a long time, Murakami gritted his teeth and finally sat down, slowly opened the box, and took out a small tea can. It looked black and there was nothing special about it.But when Noriko Ashina saw it, she immediately exclaimed, "Little eggplant?! Could this be the legendary tea can that can be built after being sold, the little eggplant!"

"Yeah." Murakami nodded.Then he took out a tea set from the box. This tea set looked...a little ugly, like a crawling spider.

"This thing..." Ashina Noriko gasped, "Is it the famous tea set that Lord Nobunaga wanted to know but couldn't find, the flat spider?!"

"It was rumored that Matsunaga Hide and Heizi Zi got together back then. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands. I guess it's only a tea set like this that can match your status."

But Noriko Ashina was surprised, but her thoughts became more complicated.Ping Spider Little Eggplant, as the other party, is naturally qualified to enjoy such a tea set, but how can I use such a tea set to drink with him?

The tea leaves and tea sets have been taken out, and the next thing in a nutshell is, wash, wash, wash, wash, oh, oh, there is really nothing to describe in detail. If every step is explained, then it is not a tea ceremony but a tea ceremony. Along with the flood of blades!

In short, the two of them waited impatiently for an hour before finally picking up the small teacup, which was not much bigger than Ninth Middle School, and took a gentle sip.

Ashina Noriko sat aside respectfully, and Murakami finally said the reason for his visit, "Aizu Mori Noriko Ashina."

"Hi."

"I came here to inform you that I will terminate the affiliation between you and me. The Ashina family will no longer have to serve me."

"Hi, Nani?!" Ashina Noriko's expression was first surprised and then turned into horror.It may seem beautiful to have no boss to look after you, but it also means you no longer have a boss to protect you!It's like working in a company. You are usually dissatisfied with the company and the boss, but if someone fires you, will you feel better?

"Why is that so?" Noriko Ashina leaned forward and asked eagerly, "Our Ashina family has always upheld the loyalty of the Wu family. Even when the internal government was in chaos, we did not dare to have the slightest thought of overstepping. Why did the public family suddenly abandon it today?" us."

"Of course I know this." Murakami nodded heavily.Of course you have no thoughts of overstepping your bounds, because since the founding of the People's Republic of China, your family has been beaten either by Hojo or Date, and then by Tokugawa. There has never been a rise in power. How can you be overstepping?

"But this is not a decision made by me alone." Murakami said calmly, "It is the result of the five-finger discussion of our Hand."

"How could it be?" Ashina Noriko seemed a little lost. She couldn't figure out what she had done to make all five fingers feel disgusted, and she made the decision to expel her.

"You don't need to think too much." Murakami picked up the tea cup, blew out the mist on it and took a small sip. "Someone is interested in you and asked you to come by name. We have to do this."

"Who is it? SHIELD?" Noriko Ashina raised her head and asked. SHIELD has recruited her many times, but she has declined them all. Have they not given up yet?But if it were them, the Hand would indeed be invincible, and it would be impossible for them to make enemies of SHIELD for their own sake.

"It's not SHIELD." Murakami put down the teacup, took out a black business card from his pocket, put it on the table and pushed it to Noriko Ashina.

"Black Chapter?" Ashina Noriko picked up the business card and looked at it carefully, and asked doubtfully, "They seem to be a threat to the Hand after being established for less than a year."

"What they can do is not just a threat." Murakami sneered and shook his head, "But this is also a good thing for you. Their resources, power, and abilities are beyond our imagination."

"After you join, maybe you can fulfill your family's long-cherished wish, and it is also the long-cherished wish of our Hand."

"Our family's long-cherished wish... Sir Genichiro... can Long Yin be revived? They can do this."

The purpose of the Hand is to serve life itself. To put it bluntly, it means immortality.They had developed skills with their five fingers in the Kunlun Secret Realm, obtained the life force from the dragon, gained immortality, and even learned the secret method of resurrecting people from the dead.

But these all come at a price, and the required resources can only be obtained from Shenlong.After they were expelled from Kunlun, they no longer had access to anything, and the resources brought out from Kunlun at that time were becoming less and less.

However, an interesting thing happened. One day Shenlong was seriously injured for some unknown reason.I found a place where spiritual energy gathered to recuperate. That place was near Ashina Country in Japan, and the divine dragon was called Sakuraryu.

In order to recover from his injuries, Yinglong exuded a power called Longyin.People possessed by Long Yin will gain immortality. Even if they are seriously injured and will inevitably die, they can be revived in a very short period of time. The price is to absorb the vitality of those around them.

Yinglong relies on the killing of the people possessed by Long Yin and absorbs the life to heal his wounds.Therefore, Long Yin is not a blessing but a curse. Most of these people will lose their nature and usher in the end of Shura Dao.

But the Hand didn't care about this. They were overjoyed after discovering the existence of Long Yin. The reason why Ashina Isshin was able to steal the country was because he gave the materials that the Ash family had studied Long Yin's power for many years, and obtained the Hand's information. help.Even their family's later guardians, the Guardians and Eagles, were trained with the help of the Hand.

However, the Ashina family failed to thoroughly study Long Yin until the day of their defeat, and the same was true for the Hand. Moreover, Sakurayu also left after the treatment was completed, completely missing.There is no way to continue research.

However, when Ashina died, he left behind the last sample. The princess of the family, sister of Genichiro Ashina, usually pretended to be Ashina Isshin's maid and medical officer, and finally gained the trust of Ryū Yin's medium, Qingzi. , and then... without the other party's complete knowledge, he left behind descendants.

This is the origin of Ashina Noriko's branch. The reason why their family has been under the care of the Hand for a long time is not entirely because Murakami is nostalgic for the past, but because they all have the blood of Long Yin.

They are waiting. Maybe any generation of Wei Ming family will produce a person of Long Yin.Too bad there never was.

"Yes, it can be done." Murakami nodded solemnly.Maybe our ideas are too naive, maybe our abilities are not enough, but if it were those two adults...if it were that company...Long Yin Susheng would definitely be able to realize it!

"I understand." Noriko Ashina bowed deeply to Murakami, "I will accept this recruitment and steal all the secrets of the company back. I will live up to your trust."

"You must not have such thoughts!" Murakami became anxious all of a sudden. Apart from Old Lady Gao, he was the only one in the Hand who had met Gemini now. His performance after the meeting was not as good as Old Lady Gao at the beginning.That is the aggregation of despair and terror, an existence that absolutely cannot be resisted, absolutely not!

"After you pass, you must fulfill your duties faithfully and show the loyalty of the martial arts family. Serving the new master is like serving me, no, more loyal than serving me." Murakami carefully arranged it. From now on, it will never matter if we break up. , and don't make any trouble, you want me to die, I haven't lived enough!

However, there is nothing to worry about. After seeing the two adults again, no one can have the desire to resist.
