Demon Castle

(6)

After Shiraishi came back and treated the wound briefly, he went around the castle and finally found Yukimura in the botanical garden he carefully managed.

Among the lush plants, Yukimura is looking at a flowering plant that he has never seen before with great interest: "Where are these plants?"

"I transplanted it from the Black Forest. You have to be careful. This mandala is quite poisonous. The roots, stems and leaves are all poisonous. If you have a wound on your body, don't touch it."

"What about this?"

"poisonous."

"What about that?"

"poisonous."

"The one on the side?"

"It's also poisonous."

Yukimura laughed: "As expected of the demons, their hobbies are also very poisonous?"

Baishi scratched his face embarrassingly: "It's just my personal interest. There are also many relatively harmless plants in the Black Forest."

Yukimura raised his hands and straightened up, and said with a smile: "But this is quite interesting."

"You can also look at other things, there are many interesting places in the Demon King's City!"

In the following period of time, Yukimura carried out Shiraishi's kind invitation and visited the entire Demon King City. Shiraishi also stuck to Yukimura whenever he was free, and even took Yukimura to the library to browse the collection of demons without hesitation.

Layers of bookshelves spread to the end of the field of vision, and all kinds of books were neatly stacked. Yukimura even glimpsed a collection of fairy tales published by humans on a bookshelf at the door.

Going a little further inside, there are even older parchment scrolls, which contain the magic inheritance of the demon clan, as well as the historical records of the demon clan...

"The attributes of the demons and the gods are incompatible. The power of the gods comes from the sun, and the power of the demons comes from the moon?" Yukimura took out a scroll, glanced at the words on it, and turned to look at Shiraishi.

"Yes, it is said that there was a battle between the gods and the demons 1000 years ago. In the end, the gods were sealed, and the demons were planted with a curse. When the sun shines on them, their power will weaken." Bai Shi looked out of the window and seemed to never The setting moon, "Tomorrow is the day when the sun will rise. When the sun and the moon are at the same time like this, our magic power will be weaker by one level. If only the sun is weak, it will be two levels weaker. When I sneaked to the human town to play I feel that I am probably suppressed between the magister and the great magister, so the demons rarely leave the territory, after all, humans sometimes watch..." Shiraishi glanced at Yukimura keenly, and put the " Not very friendly' swallowed back the words, and changed the description carefully, "...it looks quite complicated."

"That's why you haven't thought of migrating from the Black Forest or expanding your territory for so many years." Yukimura nodded to show his understanding, and then asked curiously, "How did you know that the sun will rise tomorrow? It feels like I can't even stay here If there is no difference between day and night."

"Look at the angle of the moon! It is noon when the moon is in the middle of the sky, midnight when the moon is close to the horizon, and early morning when it is close to the east. There will be three solar days in a year. The moon at noon on the day before the solar day is the lowest, that is It's like this... when you look at it at a 45-degree angle from this angle." Shiraishi enthusiastically dragged Yukimura to the window to introduce him, frankly wanting to tell Yukimura everything that belongs to him.

Yukimura pursed his lips and looked at the bright and clear moon, feeling strange to himself.

The next day Yukimura was woken up by the sun, sat on the bed in a daze for a while, and then recalled how long he hadn't experienced the feeling of sunbathing.

Yukimura stretched his waist, and after simply washing up, he simply moved the tea table and reclining chairs to the courtyard at the entrance of the castle. The book he brought back from the library yesterday was kept at hand and was not opened. He just leaned there and enjoyed it with his eyes closed. sun bathe.

It didn't take long for Shiraishi to come over again. Yukimura opened his eyes and felt a little uncomfortable seeing Shiraishi being exposed to the sun, but he still firmly sat down on the chair next to him.

Shiraishi looked at the young man shrouded in the sun's rays, the sun cast a gentle halo on the other's iris-colored hair, and blurted out admiration: "You are like a child of God."

Yukimura tilted his head in surprise: "I thought according to your culture, Miko would be a curse word?"

"No, no, we demons are not so narrow-minded, we praise all good things." Baishi looked sincerely and warmly, "You are like a child loved by the sun."

Seeing Shiraishi staying in the sun, Yukimura tried to hide some of the sun with his hands, and said with a smile, "You can go back to the castle first."

"No, no, I'm just not used to it." Hearing this, Baishi quickly straightened his body and explained, "Because the demons don't like the feeling of being weak, so if there is no accident, Ri Yaori will usually stay at home and sleep."

"Indeed." Seeing the laziness of the guards at the gate of the castle, Yukimura smiled half-truthfully, "Then it seems that if humans want to attack the demons in the future, they must choose a bright sun."

Baishi protested: "It's just that the magic power is a little weaker, a little bit!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Baishi finished speaking, a boy with a big sword suddenly appeared at the end of the passage connecting the castle to the outside world: "Which one is the Great Demon King? Come and die!"

"Wow! Brave humans have come directly to the castle!" Toyama Kintaro rushed out from nowhere, "Look at my super invincible absolutely delicious big wheel mountain storm!" Shouting while sprinting faster Coming faster and faster, the whole person turned into a spinning tornado and crashed straight towards Echizen Ryoma.

Echizen Ryoma held the big sword flat in front of his chest, put his right hand against the sword body, and skillfully rotated the sword body to lower his waist when he was hit by Xiaojin, and let Xiaojin's blow rub against his side by the angle of the sword body. It hit the lawn outside the castle straight, and a big hole was smashed with a 'bang'.

Echizen stood on the spot leaning on his big sword, raised his chin slightly: "You are still far behind."

Baishi was rather interested: "Who are you, kid?"

"Echizen Ryoma, the brave man of the Blue Country." Echizen raised his sword again and made a posture ready to attack, "The demons are rampant and have robbed the Prince of the Sea Country. For the safety of the Blue Country, I must first The demons are wiped out in the lair!"

With some headaches, Yukimura thought of the stubborn and stubborn child that Fuji Shusuke mentioned to him. Some of the big moves of the Demon Race were too lethal. In order to prevent the situation from becoming uncontrollable, Yukimura stood up helplessly, picked up the Xiao Jin dropped the saber on the side: "Little child, it is better to listen to the words of the adults at home."

"Hmph!" Echizen didn't talk too much, rushed over and lifted the big sword, which was a horizontal slash.

The knight sword in Yukimura's hand was much more dexterous than the big sword, and he avoided Echizen's sharp edge flexibly. The hilt knocked back on Echizen's wrist, and Echizen felt a numbness in his wrist, and the big sword almost fell out of his hand. , calmed down, and then adjusted the direction of the move to an upward slash with the remaining energy of the horizontal slash just now.Yukimura's sword crossed a half-arc point on the blade of the big sword, and Echimura's slash flew out completely.

After more than a dozen moves, Echizen still couldn't find any flaws in Yukimura's body, so he gritted his teeth and injected magic power into the sword to further increase the attack power.

Just when there was a faint light on the big sword, Yukimura suddenly raised his sword and stabbed directly at the door in front of Echizen. Echizen had to dissipate his magic power and raised his sword to block.Then Yukimura's wrist trembled slightly, the sword retracted slightly, and then stabbed forward, and another blow was superimposed on the same position on Echizen's great sword.The great sword that had withstood Xiaojin's full blow was already a heavy load. The sword body was rushed and retracted by Echizen's magic power, and was repeatedly struck by Yukimura precisely at the same position. The great sword broke from the middle.

Echizen remained on the spot in a blocking posture.

Yukimura chuckled: "I'll return that sentence to you, you are still far behind."

"I will come back and defeat you!" Echizen picked up the big sword that was broken in two, left a sentence stubbornly, turned and ran away.

Ren Zuqian, who rushed over halfway to prevent the situation from getting out of control, was also dumbfounded: "You are not the one from the human race...Princess cough Your Highness, how can you practice swordsmanship so well?"

Yukimura smiled and shook his sword flower: "I forgot to say, it was too boring to be a princess before, so I just created a fake identity of the number one brave man in the kingdom of the sea to act outside."

Shiraishi looked at Yukimura who was standing with a sword, and An couldn't bear the excitement in his eyes. He drew out his sword and said, "Shall we fight too?"

Demons like light knight swords, and so does Shiraishi's sword.Baishi's swordsmanship requires perfection in angle and strength, and the rapier is dexterous, and the sword is often drawn only in an instant.Yukimura was not slow either, he easily blocked Shiraishi's upward thrust, and gracefully turned around with a backhand stab. The two of you came and I fought stalemate, and they both tacitly avoided the uncontrollable big move, but the basic swordsmanship is so different. Can't help anyone.

Sensing that Yukimura's breathing rhythm was getting a little chaotic, Shiraishi took a few steps back and put away his sword and raised his hands to signal the end of the game. "I took advantage of it. You have already fought a game before. Let's compete next time!" Shiraishi said, looking directly into Yukimura's violet eyes: "What should I do? I like you a little bit."
