Chapter 1398 Embarrassment
"This is a real war."
Alice put her hands on her hips and said, "Before this, we were just fighting in a small way. We were similar to those societies that would fight for territory when they had nothing to do. We even thought about taking points until it was over. But now it's better. This has really become a There was a big battle, and a group of ancestors were called out, and it looks like they are still enhanced versions."
"That's for sure. Back then, the island country was poor in materials, and even the direct members of the famous family lacked sufficient nutritional intake. Therefore, the average height per capita at that time was probably less than 1.6 meters, or even lower. So how could it be possible? A group of two-meter-plus macho men appeared?" Zhang Jingxu said.
Yin En on the side nodded and said seriously: "Yes, this is actually a phenomenon of island dwarfing, right? I remember that on an island with less communication with the outside world, almost all species will be dwarfed to a certain extent. Adapt to the local environment. After all, the island's ecosystem is very fragile and monotonous. It only consists of a few major organisms forming a simple ecological chain. Therefore, for people at the top of the food chain, they can obtain very little food. , so a monotonous diet will make them malnourished, and the scarce food will also force them to dwarf themselves so that they can consume less food."
"Yes, I remember that the various animal fossils found on the island are much smaller than their relatives living on land. The same is true for humans. I remember that the smallest human population in the world is on a small island. Found it." Zhang Wenbing also came over and said.
Because of the sudden appearance of Sawada Tomohiko, the power of the Sawada family was temporarily transferred to his ancestors by Sawada Yayin, but Liu Xing and others did not say much. After all, Sawada Tomohiko's overall ability was stronger than Sawada Yayin. The sound is even stronger, especially now that he has been strengthened again.
As for why Sawada Tomohiko appeared here, he himself could not explain clearly, because after the incident, Sawada Tomohiko had already "rested" again, but suddenly he felt as if he was being pulled by something. He got up, and when Sawada Tomohiko returned to normal, he found that he had come to a place similar to the ancient Roman arena, with a group of strange people sitting around him.
The main reason why these people are a little strange is that they all wear a variety of masks on their faces, from the classic Noh mask of the island country to the Zorro-style eye patch, and there are also plastic masks that cost one dollar at a roadside stall. Everything is there, knowing that Tomohiko Sawada also saw a man wearing black stockings and looking like he was going to rob a bank.
As for Sawada Tomohiko himself, he also wore a mask. Judging from the feel, it seemed to be made of wood. The specific style seemed to be the image of a one-horned evil spirit common in island countries.
But what surprised Sawada Tomohiko the most was that he was sitting there unable to move at this time, and he couldn't speak. The most he could do was turn his head or something, so one can imagine the atmosphere of the ancient Roman arena at that time—— A group of people wearing masks didn't make a sound, they just kept turning their heads.
This makes Liu Xing feel a little sagging when he thinks about it.
However, Sawada Tomohiko is also a well-informed master. After all, he has experienced a lot of strange things. Therefore, it didn't take long for Sawada Tomohiko to want to sleep, but he couldn't really fall asleep, so while he was half asleep and half awake, Sawada Tomohiko suddenly heard a bell ringing, and then saw a person suddenly appear in the center of the arena.
This man claimed to be Emperor Jimmu. Yes, he was the first emperor in the myth of the island nation and he had the blood of a god. . . However, he is now "working" for a great existence, so he can no longer use the title "Emperor Jimmu", so he asked everyone present to call him Genpei.
This is very interesting, because "Minamoto" and "Taira" can be said to be the two most noble surnames in the island country, both representing their original royal bloodline, but this is also the reason why "Emperor Jimmu" ordered himself to be Genpei.
Genpei didn't say any more nonsense, and directly told the history of his fortune, that is, he founded the island country with the support of several ancient gods, and then in order to put gold on his face, he lied about being a god, and at the same time He arranged some of the ancient gods he knew, and as a result, many ancient gods were dissatisfied.
As a result, Genpei gained eternal life after his death, but the price was that he had to serve the ancient gods forever. It was not until the first "Retreat of the Ancient Gods" that Genpei regained his freedom.
However, Genpei was actually a little embarrassed at this time, because his immortality was "he can never die without external force, but his body functions will still continue to age, he will also get sick and injured, and he will die if he is killed." .
The above passage was told to him by the first ancient god that Genpei saw after he gained immortality.
Prior to this, because Genpei was a skilled waiter, many ancient gods did not hold Genpei responsible for spreading rumors, and they also used their magic to protect Genpei's health from illness and disaster. Therefore, at this time, Genpei could be considered to have gained a true sense of success. However, after those ancient gods left the earth or went to the dreamland, Genpei's situation became a bit embarrassing.
First of all, Genpei at this time is no different from an ordinary person, but as time goes by, Genpei's physical condition will continue to deteriorate, but Genpei cannot die. . . At the beginning, the ancient god who granted Genpei "eternal life" gave Genpei a mental seal to prevent him from committing suicide, prohibiting him from seeking death, and then directly strengthened Genpei's pain nerves. A hundred times, so if Genpei accidentally cuts the flesh when cutting his nails, it will be no different from cutting flesh with a dull knife.
Therefore, at this time, Yuanping couldn't help but want to die, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
I want to return to the royal family, but how can the royal family recognize an ancestor from thousands of years ago? What's more, although the island kingdom's royal family has lasted for thousands of years, there have been many incidents of fatherly kindness, filial piety, and brotherly friendship. Therefore, the blood connection between the island kingdom's royal family and Genpei has become increasingly weak.
So after he was sure that he could not return to the royal family and become an ancestor, Genpei wanted to take advantage of the troubled times of the Warring States Period to become the king and become a daimyo or something. No matter how bad things were, he could still be a rich man and live a good life for a few days. . . It is a pity that all aspects of Genpei have lagged behind this era, so Genpei's plan failed again. Before he could fool a few people into obeying his orders, the local daimyo who heard the news sent people to exterminate him.
After barely escaping, Yuanping gave up completely and planned to find a hermit in a deep mountain forest, or to continue living like this. As a result, he met a great being, and he transformed into this great being. spokesperson.
Hearing this, Liu Xing estimated that the great being mentioned by Yuanping should be a relative of Okukankai, because it was him who planned this public war, and ordinary old rulers did not have this ability.
"Yuanpei then announced the mission to us, that is, everyone in the arena can form a team freely, and then start an unruled duel, or it can also be said to be a fight, and then wait until the number of people drops to a suitable number. It will end, and then the remaining people can return to the human world and fight for their descendants."
Sawada Tomohiko sighed and continued: "After regaining the ability to move, we immediately took off our masks, and then I found that I didn't know anyone present. After all, I have been in Ziwu all my life. I walked around the city, and Ziwu City itself was a relatively closed small town at that time, so there weren’t many people. But after other people in the arena reported their origins, I discovered that they were all historical figures. A famous person."
"Because they have to form a team, most people choose to form a team with their contemporaries. After all, they know each other well and have even cooperated or fought before, so they feel more at ease when working together. ; And I was a little embarrassed, because in the eyes of those people, I was just a little transparent person who had never heard of it, so they were not very willing to let me join. In the end, luckily, Shimazu Yoshihisa invited me to join them. The team, and our team survived to the end and got a chance to return to the real world."
Having said this, Sawada Tomohiko suddenly revealed the palm of his right hand, which had an hourglass-like pattern on it.
"The time we can stay in the real world is limited, unless we can kill our opponents to gain their time. After the generals of a certain faction, that is, our ancestors, all die, the time of the remaining generals will be calculated. At that time, the three generals with the most time will be reborn as humans!"
Liu Xing could feel that Sawada Tomohiko was a little excited when he said this. After all, not many people would refuse the opportunity to live a new life.
However, as players, Liu Xing and others couldn't help but frown when they heard this sentence, because this is obviously another conspiracy in the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby. No, this should be said to be a conspiracy. !
Because of the emergence of the "resurrection mechanism", all the major families in the Gongwu War will fight to the end for their ancestors. After all, the resurrection of the ancestors can bring the family's strength to a higher level, so the intensity of this final battle is also Will go up a notch.
But what’s even more troublesome is that a family like the Shimazu family that has multiple ancestors descended from them is likely to become a thorn in the side of other families. After all, there are only so many places for resurrection, so it’s impossible for your family to take them up, right? Moreover, Sawada Tomohiko also made it clear that at this time, he was a little stronger than before. As for Shimazu Yoshihisa and others, the strength was almost the same as his own.
This means that the current "people" such as Tomohiko Sawada have directly transformed from the original humanoid mythical creatures into humanoid Gundams, and they are all top-of-the-line customized versions. Therefore, the Shimadzu family owns multiple Gundams. At this time, it was like a salty fish turning around, from the leader of the Wu family faction in name only to the real leader now.
But Liu Xing knew that Shimazu Nakano should also have a headache at this time, because there were four ancestors in front of him, which are the four famous Shimadzu brothers in history. They can also be said to be the four kings of the Shimadzu family, but the four It is common knowledge that there are five heavenly kings, so Shimazu Takahisa, the father of the four Shimadzu brothers, is the fifth person.
Fortunately, only the four Shimadzu brothers appeared this time, so Shimadzu Nakano's headache symptoms will be reduced a lot, but it will not be much better, because even if his ancestor "takes all three points", there will still be one person Cannot be resurrected.
It's still the same sentence - people don't suffer from scarcity but from inequality.
Although the four Shimadzu brothers in history had a very good relationship, and mutual support made the Shimadzu family the overlord of Kyushu, but now it is a matter of life and death, and none of the four Shimadzu brothers will be unmoved, so the four Shimadzu brothers It is inevitable that there will be some other thoughts.
"The Shimazu family now has four generals. From this alone, it can be seen that the Shimazu family is the most powerful family on the battlefield at present, and it is very likely that they will take all the resurrection places, because the probability of the four of them acting collectively It is very high, so other families in our samurai faction may alienate the Shimazu family, or even refuse to save the Shimazu family." Yaon Sawada couldn't help but said: "So do we still support the Shimazu family now? ?”
Hearing what Sawada Yaon said, Liu Xing knew that Sawada Yaon also planned to let Sawada Tomohiko compete for the place to be resurrected, because if Sawada Tomohiko can really be resurrected, then the Sawada family can become one of the island countries. A first-line family.
"I think we still have to support the Shimadzu family, because we are still too weak now. If we don't continue to cooperate with the Shimadzu family, we will definitely not be able to win the resurrection spot."
As soon as Yin En finished speaking, Zhang Jingxu said: "Well, if I guess correctly, those standing over there are Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen, right?"
Like the katana, although the defensive power of the island country's Taikai is relatively average, its production cost is not low, so the Taikai can also be regarded as a family heirloom, especially the armors of some famous generals will be properly preserved, so Takeda Shingen's Daikai has been preserved to this day.
As a southern barbarian lover, Oda Nobunaga often wore some European aristocratic costumes before the Honnoji Incident, and it is said that he also introduced European-style armor.
So Liu Xing recognized Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen just by the style of their armors. However, both Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen were a little embarrassed at this time, because others were surrounded by "children and grandchildren", and None of his descendants seemed to be present.
"Well, this is indeed a bit embarrassing. Now the descendants of the Oda family and the Takeda family are not on Mount Fuji, and they are no longer even members of the samurai and public factions."
