The Nakajima family head left in a huff. The Takeda family head, on the other hand, did not move from his seat. No one knew what he was thinking, but he was still watching the match below the stage.
The Takeda family controlled at least half of the capital’s military power, as well as the imperial guards. He was also looking for his own way out.
“What do you think we should do to get out of this mess?” Takeda family head’s indifferent voice rang out. He didn’t understand which side the Sakakami family was on, so he asked curiously.
“Who knows? The Sakakami family is on the side of the people of the northern border.” The Sakakami family head spoke slowly. The two of them didn’t say anything more and just watched the match below the stage.
Miyamoto Musashi still relied on his own combat experience to suppress Satsuma Sama. Later on in the match, Linghua challenged the treasure yard.
The long saber of the treasure house was destroyed by Lei Luo. With a long saber that he was not used to, he was able to match Linghua.
Moroes, on the other hand, firmly suppressed Linghua and Shinji Lingtai. He even severely injured the two of them. If Lei Luo had not gone up to the stage to rescue them, the two of them might have died in the arena.
Moroes did not probe Lei Luo anymore. Perhaps he knew that there was still a certain gap between him and Lei Luo, so he did not continue fighting.
The Treasury did not go on stage again. They quickly admitted defeat to Moroes, leaving only Lei Luo, Moroes, and Miyamoto Musashi to participate in the competition the next day.
After bringing Linghua back to her dojo to heal, Miyamoto Musashi and Lei Luo returned to the restaurant to drink.
He still wanted to rope in Miyamoto Musashi. After all, the two of them had to enter the gate of the Devil Realm.
“My real name is Lei Luo. I am a lord of a territory outside.”
After activating the [ shield ] spell, Lei Luo started chatting with Miyamoto Musashi.
“Oh, then you’re amazing,” Miyamoto Musashi answered indifferently.
He did not know about Lei Luo’s battle achievements. Only a handful of people in the northern border knew about Lei Luo, so he did not know the meaning of the name.
“When I find the medicine to heal my friend, how about you leave this place with me?”
Lei Luo didn’t know what Miyamoto Musashi was thinking, but after spending time with him, Lei Luo still admired this man with a true personality.
“I want to find the trace of the Saintess of the Devil World in the Devil World. Even if I die in the Devil World, it’s my wish. If I don’t die, I can consider it.”
Miyamoto Musashi’s carefree voice, along with the sound of strong liquor flowing into his mouth, made Lei Luo fall silent.
He knew that if Miyamoto Musashi really entered the gate of the Devil Realm, it would be a disaster. He could only wish him success in his heart.
When he returned to his room, Shinji Sakakami was already sitting in his room waiting for him.
Moreover, the smell of Shinji Sakakami’s body made Lei Luo yearn for it. He did not know why, but it had never appeared before.
Something must have changed on Sakamami’s body.
“You’re back.”
Masanori Sakamami spoke in a light voice.
Lei Luo walked to Masanori Sakamami’s side and replied, “Yes, I’m back.”
“I have something to ask of you.”
“Tell me. If it’s something I can do, I’ll definitely agree to it.”
Looking at Lei Luo’s face, Masanori Sakamoto said seriously, “After you get the sky cluster cloud, can you try to repair the seal of the gate of the Devil Realm inside the node?”
“Yes, if I can do it.”
Lei Luo understood that if the gate of the Devil Realm was opened, the situation in the empire would become even more chaotic. This was something Lei Luo did not want to see.
“In the next few months, only the gate of the Devil Realm will be opened. As long as this node is repaired before then, the opening of the gate of the Devil Realm will be delayed. I don’t know the details.”
“I’ll leave Tian Congyun to you. You just need to remember that the situation in the northern border is not something you can control alone.”
“Whether it’s the Devil Realm or the general, their goals are all different. You can’t find anyone among them who can really help you. Just follow your heart.”
Masanori Sakamoto spoke softly to Lei Luo with a persuasive tone. Her gaze was gentle, and she looked as though tears were about to fall down her cheeks.
“The time I spent with you guys was very short and very happy. I’m leaving. I’m leaving the northern border and going to a very far place. You don’t have to look for me. Perhaps we can meet again one day.”
Masanori Sakamoto then left Lei Luo’s room.
During this period of time together, Lei Luo also liked this girl who was not pretentious and was very gentle to everyone. However, he could not stop her.
He only looked at the scenery outside the window with a tipsy expression.
The inappropriate communication voice in his mind rang.
“Hello!”
“Mr. Lei Luo, tomorrow is the time to carry out the plan. We hope that when you face the general, you can use magic to hold the general hostage and hand him over to us.”
Lei Luo was silent for a moment before speaking.
“Why?”
“Because this is the wish of all of us in the royal family, to regain control of the northern border.”
“Then what about the people of the northern border? Will they all die under the fire of your war?”
Fu Yun’s voice did not come for a long time, until the people on the other side calmed down.
“This is not something you need to think about. We will let you enter the node. This is just a transaction, and you are not a person of the northern border.”
Fu Yun hung up the phone, and Lei Luo only looked at the night scene of the northern border indifferently. It seemed that all of this could not be salvaged.
Adjusting the magic communication circuit, Lei Luo wanted to know what Ulysses was thinking.
“Hello, Lei Luo. It’s such a beautiful day. It seems that your side is almost done.”
Ulysses’ frivolous voice sounded.
“What kind of promise did you get from the Royal Family?”
Ulysses obviously did not think of the question that Lei Luo wanted to ask. He asked in a relaxed tone, “What’s wrong? Did they make you unhappy?”
Lei Luo replied, “No, I just want to know.”
“They promised to rescue me from Strachey and give me military support after the northern border was unified.”
“Do you believe their words so much?”
“Our cooperation began when Strachey assisted me. At that time, I gave them a large number of magic conductors with my password, which could control the self-detonation of those magic conductors at any time.”
“What if I said that they might not save you?”
“Then I’ll detonate those magic conductors. There’s no loss for me anyway. Strachey knows my connection with the royal family of the Northern Borderline, but he disdains using them.”
“I know you’re suffering now, but you’re still too impatient.”
Ulysses stopped here, and he answered in a hoarse voice, “Do you know what it feels like to have your every move monitored? I’m surrounded by Strachey’s people, and all I can do is watch you stir up trouble outside.”
“I’m not sure if they will help you, but I’ll try.”
Lei Luo and Ulysses chatted briefly. After confirming the situation on the northern border, they hung up.
The next day was the last day. Thinking of this, Lei Luo went back to bed to rest.
