Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 209 208. Reward

At ten o'clock in the morning, Pingtian Village was shrouded in mist that diffused from Longquan River, making it humid and blurry.

But people who have lived here for a long time have long been accustomed to it, and the rare foreigners seem to be quite adaptable to this kind of environmental change that is not extreme.

When Lan En came back with the short ninja, he had already learned the ninja's name, or code name, on the grounds of 'convenient calling'.

When the wolf and he returned to Pingtian Village, it was already the darkest hour before dawn. And when they entered the manor and walked towards the mansion deep inside, the sky was already dim and bright.

This was the time for the ancients who lacked evening entertainment to wake up.

Lan En felt a little surprised and looked at the ninja beside him. This profession is not only a dead soldier in covert operations, but also trained in taking care of his master.

They must be working so hard that they want to die.

On the way back, Lan En had seen the wolf throw out the rope wrapped around his arm, dragging himself along and ejecting him to the destination.

That's a very efficient way to move. Although Lan En couldn't figure out how a person's arm strength could pull him up more than ten meters without the help of mechanical force.

After all, the stronger the arm strength, the heavier the overall muscle mass. The heavier the muscle, the harder it is to pull it.

It probably has something to do with the unimaginable lightness of the ninjas.

He is very interested in this method of movement, but it seems unrealistic for him until he finds a lightweight and powerful mechanical assist device or changes his body shape to that of a ninja.

While thinking, Lan En came to the core residence of Pingtian Village.

This was the time when the retainers came to greet the master's family in the early morning, so when the wolf came with Lan En, Nogami Gensai, Nogami Inosuke, and the two ninjas were all sitting next to them, greeting the children on the main seat. Bow and salute.

As soon as the two people, who were covered in the smell of blood, entered, the children facing outside the door spotted them first.

"Wolf? And this one."

Hirata Kuro's delicate eyebrows raised in surprise and asked aloud.

The two warriors frowned at this moment and turned around to face the two people who came in, showing good vigilance.

The two ninjas were half a beat slow in turning around, but the cloudy pupils of the two old men had already moved to the corners of their eyes, but no one could see it clearly.

Facing the crowd with various reactions, the wolf looked rigid. He stepped forward and placed the head tied on his waist in front of the main seat, and then knelt down on one knee.

"The heads of the hostile ninjas, the Lone Shadows, are here. It can be confirmed that the infiltration of the Inner Army has begun."

Hirata Kuro is only in his early ten years, but his good talent and cruel environment have allowed him to develop a fairly qualified attitude of not being surprised by changes.

Facing a bloody human head, he just took a deep breath and there was no other abnormality.

"It's as expected. Why did you bring this foreign warrior back?"

Jiulang no longer struggled with the situation that he had been prepared for. Instead, Lan En, who was standing under the porch of the hall outside the house, leaning against the pillar and waving slightly to him, made him even more concerned.

The wolf reported to his master exactly what happened to him.

"The Lone Shadows were blocked by the foreign warrior Lan En, who himself had killed all the patrolling ronin before that."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people present immediately showed different expressions on their faces.

As samurai, the two Nogami have been guarding the house for a long time, but they are from a family of warriors. Their first reaction was that Lan En was using his life to establish his prestige.

Although it's a bit over the top, it makes sense.

The two ninjas' slightly furrowed brows and gloomy expressions reflected the ninja's suspicion.

Their first reaction was that of a wolf - too coincidental to be normal.

"Killing my colleagues, and then meeting the enemy Lone Shadows in the killing place, haha"

The large, hairy old ninja chuckled softly.

"If there were no wolves to disrupt the situation, it would definitely be a good place to hand over information."

The voice was not loud, just like a whisper, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

The others had solemn expressions, but Madam Butterfly beside Xiao Xiao began to care a little in her heart.

She and Xiao were old friends who participated in the War of Thieves thirty years ago, and the ninja's words had no effect on her.

Instead, Xiao was so impatient and started to verbally attack her, which made her feel very rare.

Ninjas are supposed to be the most patient people.

"Wolf." Madam Butterfly suddenly said, "Did the Lone Shadows deliberately go to where Lan En is?"

"He's not that strong."

The wolf, who was half-kneeling and bowing his head, was talking without any beginning or end. But everyone present understood him and understood him.

A Guyingzhong who is not that strong is not qualified to choose the direction of escape when he is chasing him.

"That's a coincidence." Kuro is the person who trusts the wolf the most, and he is his personal ninja.

Even if he narrowly escapes death, the wolf will definitely risk his own life to welcome back his master. The trust between them transcends life and death.

The child in the main seat turned his head and explained carefully to the giant ninja to avoid any grudges in his heart.

"Although coincidences are suspicious, there are endless coincidences in this world. Right, Xiao?"

There was no joy or sorrow on the face of the burly old man: "But it's up to Miko-sama to decide."

"So foreign warrior, why do you want to kill your colleagues who are traveling with you?"

Lan En has been listening on the porch for a long time. He was just thinking about the title of this young master.

Lord Yuzi, Lord Kuro, Lord Young Master.

The names are very complicated, but the last two are not incomprehensible. After all, in ancient times, there were no formal names before minors. But ‘Miko’.

A religious title?

The mainstream belief here is Longquanchuan. Is this imperial son related to the river?

There are also two ninjas who look very experienced and powerful. It might be very difficult to fight.

Jiulang's question brought Lan En back to his senses.

So he elaborated on Heihachiro's jealousy and resentment towards him, as well as his coveting of the good sword on his back.

Speaking of which, no one thought there was anything wrong with killing a group of them.

"It's not a pity for a black sheep to die." Nogami Inosuke was the first to speak, and then bowed slightly in Lan En's direction.

"It's my negligence. I didn't let those rogues see the difference clearly during the competition, which caused extraneous problems."

"No, it has nothing to do with you." Lan En waved his hand towards him, "That kind of ronin is no different from a layman. Unless we find him a teacher to explain, he will definitely not be able to understand the confrontation between us."

The young warrior opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something else.

As soon as Kuro who was in charge raised his hand, Inosuke swallowed what he wanted to say.

"Lan En had merit in stopping the Lone Shadows, and the reason for eliminating Heihachiro and others is undoubtedly valid. The Hirata family will never ignore their merits, which is chilling."

Jiulang's delicate eyes stared at Lan En, who was standing casually outside the door.

"We, the Hirata clan, are lucky to have foreign warriors of your caliber come to our aid. Please don't hesitate to ask for a reward commensurate with your achievements."

"What a reward?" Lan En's eyes shone slightly and he put his palms into his arms. "I want to learn ninja techniques."

"But I also know that this thing is basically an esoteric sect, right? So..."

The palm of his hand was taken out of his arms, carrying a book still stained with blood.

"Please ask your ninja to teach me the "Lone Shadow Ninja Technique Book"!"

People were stunned for a while, but then they felt it was natural.

In this world of weapons, it is normal to want to strengthen yourself.

However, learning the moves of Gu Yingzhong at the Hirata family makes people feel a little bit dislocated.

The giant ninja, Xiao, raised his eyelids slightly when he heard this request and opened his mouth to speak.

"I"

"I'm here to decipher the code words in the move book for you. You practice it yourself. If you are lucky enough to meet a wolf while patrolling, he will also train you a little without affecting the mission."

Xiao Xiao slowly turned his head and looked at Butterfly who had stolen his words. The old woman was smoking her pot on the ground as if her words had no profound meaning at all.

So the owl also lowered his head, as if he didn't care about the development of the situation.
