Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

Kinoshita Tokichiro did not want to mention the name, but he still shook his head.    

"Master Songping, although I don't know what you are worried about, please let me finish my work first."    

As he spoke, the demon named Kinoshita Tokichiro knocked on the door of the forging room.    

Currently, he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of conquering the Mori, so he didn't have much time to chat. The Building of Smelting that could come to the Long Boat City was only because the Pre-Country wasn't far from the front line. Every minute was precious, so why would he stand here and talk nonsense with Tokugawa Leyasu?    

Moreover, Kinoshita Tokichiro was clearer than the other demons about just how capable that terracotta soldier who called himself "Wise Light Xiu" was. He had already used all his strength in that battle under the Human-Faced Tree, but he had still suffered a crushing defeat in one move. In fact, if his opponent had not cracked open his wound with that strike... He might have even been poisoned to death by the poison blade used by the old civet cat of the Songping family.    

Therefore, he didn't have any good feelings towards the civet cat of the Songping Family.    

"Wait, lord Yucai, you must be a monkey-like monster."    

The civet cat demon named Tokugawa Leyasu had a serious expression on his face.    

"The ape demons have always been under the command of Guan Dong Great Ape Guild. Could it be that the bosses of the Great Ape Guild didn't tell you anything..."    

"I came from the tail, thank you."    

Kinoshita Tokichiro shook his head and denied it.    

"I have never been to Guan Dong."    

What kind of joke was this? If he really admitted that he was born in the Guan Dong Great Ape Guild, his identity would be exposed immediately. At that time, not to mention the enemies all over the world and those villains who wanted to step on him, Tokugawa Leyasu alone would not let him go.    

He had not forgotten where the injuries on his body came from.    

"This... Alright."    

Tokugawa Leyasu, who was choked, did not get angry. He just explained to himself.    

"Forget it. I'll just say it. When my Song Ping clan's ancestor was still young, he had once encountered an outrageously strong terracotta soldier. It could even kill nine great demons with a single punch..."    

"A... terracotta soldier?"    

Kinoshita Tokichiro was stunned for a moment.    

An outrageously strong terracotta soldier... why did it seem like it had a subtle sense of vindictiveness?    

Could it be...    

"Creak -"    

The wooden door in front of Kinoshita Tokichiro was pushed open, and a ferocious evil ghost with a red surface on its body stuck its head out.    

"Master warrior... what's the matter? Do you want to make customized weapons? Or do you want to buy an iron cannon? "    

"Neither."    

Kinoshita Tokichiro, whose train of thought was interrupted, shook his head and temporarily put aside his doubts.    

It was more important to get down to business.    

"I'm here to ask about something related to knives."    

"Is that so... Come in and talk."    

As he spoke, the evil ghost with the red surface of its body directly opened the door.    

"It might be a bit messy inside. Warriors, please understand."    

"It's fine, it's fine."    

Kinoshita Tokichiro looked at the swords and knives that were randomly placed in the room and introduced them to Tokugawa Leyasu as he walked.    

"This is a famous knife skill from the Pre-Preparation period. He won't be wrong to ask questions about weapons."    

"About... martial tools?"    

Tokugawa Leyasu was stunned for a moment.    

"Master Yucai, you mean..."    

"Yes."    

Kinoshita Tokichiro nodded, then shifted his gaze to the evil ghost.    

"Mr. Fukuoka, have you ever heard of the 'constant number of beads'?"    

"The constant number of beads..."    

The evil ghost seemed to be recalling something.    

"Why did you ask that knife? Didn't the monks already treat that knife as a treasure?"    

"I still know that. But what I want to ask is something else."    

Kinoshita Tokichiro narrowed his eyes.    

"Mr. Fukuoka, do you know... why did the constant blade of the Pearl Ball turn black?"    

"The blade... turn black?"    

The evil ghost's expression instantly became serious.    

"Where did you see it from?"    

"I saw it by chance"    

Kinoshita Tokichiro gently raised his hand and pushed Tokugawa Leyasu back, who was about to say something.    

"I just want to know what this change means."    

"If you don't want to say it... then forget it."    

The evil ghost gently shook its head.    

"But since you came here to ask me, you must have noticed something wrong, right? ... No, since I've seen that thing before, it's more than just feeling that something was wrong. Master samurai, you are afraid, right? "    

" This isn't something you should ask, just continue. "    

He pressed Tokugawa Leyasu back again and Kinoshita Tokichiro threw out a few Golden Judgements.Edited by: Lifer, fingerfox Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio    

"Tell me why. These are all yours."    

"Alright, alright, alright. Let's not talk about them."    

The evil ghost used its teeth to bite the gold coin twice, and then put it into its pocket cleanly.    

"You all know that the constant number of pearl beads is the knife worn by Master Sunlotus when the Sickle Chamber of Commerce was built, right... Actually, this knife's history is a bit earlier than that. You all know that the constant number of pearl beads is the knife worn by Master Sunlotus at the time of the Sickle Chamber of Commerce, right? Moreover, this saber was initially forged by the ghost race for one's own use. It was a real demon blade. "    

"Demon... Saber?"    

Kinoshita Tokichiro was stunned for a moment.    

"But that blade is not a Buddhist..."    

"Yes, that saber is regarded as a supreme treasure of Buddha Sect."    

As if recalling something, the evil ghost revealed an ugly smile.    

"At that time, there was a monk who wanted to edify the evil ghost into a living person, so he used his great power to seal the blade... But the seal could only seal the demon blade for a short period of time. As long as there was an evil ghost in his heart, the seal on the blade was actually very easy to break. When that happens, the blade will turn black, and the person holding the blade will also become a ghost... Wait a minute? "    

The sudden pain in the head made the evil ghost unable to help but cover its head.    

"What is a 'living person'..."    

"A living person?"    

Kinoshita Tokichiro frowned.    

"What... is a human?"    

"Forget about those things for now!"    

Tokugawa Leyasu who was standing at the side had already turned pale with fright.    

"Lord Yucai, let's not worry about that for now! Something big really happened this time!"    

"Lord Matsutani, can you stop arguing first?"    

Kinoshita Tokichiro, who had vaguely thought of something, did not even bother to disguise himself as he glared fiercely at Tokugawa Leyasu.    

"Just be quiet for a while..."    

"Let me finish first!"    

Tokugawa Leyasu actually shouted out loudly.    

"You..."    

Kinoshita Tokichiro gritted his teeth.    

"Speak."    

"I have always wanted to say that although Wise Light Xiu was the greatest contributor to Shang Luo, he did not accept anything. Instead, he drank tea in the capital for a month."    

Tokugawa Leyasu frowned.    

"I've always felt that something was wrong, but now... Brother Mage Ji might be in danger."    

... "in danger?"    

Kinoshita Tokichiro seemed to have thought of something.    

"You mean..."    

"Mm, wise Light went to find Mage Ji."    

Tokugawa Leyasu nodded with a serious expression.    

"I brought the beads with me."    

————————    

"So that's how it is..."    

On the streets of the capital, the pitch-black armor drank its last mouthful of tea and casually threw the teacup onto the ground.    

"It's all fake, it's all fake..."    

Accompanied by the sound of porcelain shattering, the Katana called pearl counting pill suddenly came out of its sheath.    

The blade shone brightly.    

"What? Is it real?"
