Chapter 65 Shadow
In the first chapter of the main storyline of the game "Bright Moon", an extremely important "big man", Senjuro, the head of the Renjo Chamber of Commerce, was assassinated, causing the situation inside Kasumi City to get out of control.

In addition to being the royal merchant, Senjuro is also the confidant of a prince of the royal family, and is tasked with monitoring Dewa Province.

His death had a great impact on the city lord Su Fang and the Shenying headquarters, because some people would suspect that the city lord had sent someone to assassinate or kidnap him.

On the other hand, Renjo Senjuro's ancestors were distant relatives of the Archer Saint who participated in the human-demon riot one hundred and fifty years ago.

The Bow Saint left no offspring. After his death, he left one of his relics to the Lian Zhang clan. It was the key to the "Great Seal of a Hundred Ghosts", which was used to seal the Six Blood-Stained Sects who were directly exiled to the "Realm of Nothingness" after being defeated during the human-demon rebellion, as well as the two most powerful demon kings in the demon army and a hundred great demons.

There are six keys to the "Great Seal of a Hundred Demons", five of which are kept by the imperial court and the Four Saints respectively, and the whereabouts of the last one is unknown.

One of the main goals of the Hachifukukai's attack on Senjuro was to seize this key.

"Of course, once Renjo Senjuro died, the city lord Sufang was blamed by all sides. Taking advantage of the chaos, Sufang was placed under house arrest by his traitor, Akamatsu Mitsuyuki."

At the same time, the chaos in Kasumi Castle is also intensifying. After the city lord Sufang was secretly placed under house arrest, the old man only left behind a young lord, Tsuru Chiyo, who was unable to command the overall situation and could only allow the situation to deteriorate.

Baijie knew very well that the above was the background of the main plot.

Fortunately, he had solved the trouble with Xianjuro. As long as this royal merchant of the Lianzhang Chamber of Commerce was safe, there wouldn't be any major troubles in the future.

"The problem here should be solved. What we need to focus on next is to prevent the chaos in Kasumi Castle and prevent Hiruko Hiiragi from becoming a vampire..."

However, the former is easy to deal with, but Baijie has no idea about the latter so far.

After all, he was not the protagonist and did not have many opportunities to directly contact the noble witch.

"The protagonist, Ye Ming, had contact with this Hiiragi Hiruko. It seems that not long after Ye Ming arrived in Kasumi City, Hiiragi Hiruko took the initiative to ask to meet the protagonist..."

There's nothing we can do about it, since she's the protagonist and has incredible luck in love.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, the enormous power contained in Ye Ming's body attracted the attention of the local god of suppression.

“Maybe this is a breakthrough.”

Just as he was immersed in thought, a low and hoarse voice sounded.

"Excuse me for waiting."

The door of the room was opened and Renjo Senjuro walked in accompanied by guards.

"Lord Lianzhang is too polite."

Baijie lowered his head slightly.

"Compared to Lord Lianzhang, who is so busy with his affairs, the time I have spent waiting is really nothing."

"Don't say these polite words."

Renjo Senjuro smiled and said, "Thanks to your help last night and for calling for reinforcements, you saved me from this siege... It would be unacceptable if I didn't repay you well."

"These are all thanks to Miss Ye Ya. Besides, I am only following the instructions of the Second Miss."

He also didn't expect that this was the reason why Renjo Senjuro called him here.

"If I rely on my own strength, it would be difficult to accomplish anything to support and rescue them."

"No, after yesterday, I consulted Miss Gehua. She said that you were the only one who discovered the two thieves' ill intentions and followed them because you felt suspicious."

Renjo Senjuro folded his arms.

"As a result, it was you who saved me. After all, I'm a trusted merchant who controls a chamber of commerce, and I reward and punish my subordinates fairly. If you saved me and I didn't express any gratitude, it would only make people think I was stingy."

He smiled.

"Young man, don't be so unreasonable. Let me reward you well. It's also Miss Ge Hua's idea..."

What the hell?

When did the second young lady become so kind?
Bai Jie was somewhat suspicious.

"Why? What kind of reward do you want?"

Renjo Senjuro laughed.

"Whether it's money, women, or the swords and armor that exorcists need, I can give them to you."

Baijie frowned.

Honestly, he wanted them all.

However, none of these things are "necessities" to him.

The most important thing for Baijie right now is to complete the strategy for the first chapter.

Otherwise, if something happened in Kasumi City and the "Shenzakura Collapse" occurred, it would be difficult for him to escape. Since it involved his own life, Baijie could not be careless.

"Besides, forget about the women, even if Renjo Senjuro gave me the money, the sword, and the armor, they might be snatched away by the Kurohimeyama family if they had the chance..."

It would be fine if the things that Ge Hua secretly gave him and the seven-section spear that he was allowed to get were too precious, but if the things that Lian Zhang rewarded him were too precious, some shameless guys from the Heijishan family would shout, "It's a waste to give such precious things to the people below, let me keep them," and then look for opportunities to snatch them away.

To be honest, even if Baijie didn't get any benefits himself, he didn't want to let this kind of people get away with it.

"Your brows are furrowed so tightly, you must be still hesitating."

Renjo Senjuro said again: "Then would you like to listen to my advice——"

The royal merchant coughed lightly.

"Hyakusuke, do you want to leave the Kurohimeyama clan...?"

He made this suggestion and Baijie blinked with wide eyes.

"From what I understand, you were sold to the Kurohimeyama clan, right?"

Lianzhang Senjuro said slowly: "I can also spend money to redeem you and give you freedom. If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can come to our Lianzhang Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce is eager to recruit talented individuals. We are always in need of capable people from outside. Your strength is not too weak for a magician, so joining the Chamber of Commerce would be very useful."

"this?"

Baijie felt complicated when he heard his words.

It has been his wish for many years to escape from the "sea of ​​suffering" of the Kurohimeyama family.

Unfortunately, he really can't leave this clan now.

"I have finally gotten close to the protagonist Ye Ming. As long as I provide her with some game-related information and she succeeds in completing the main storyline, the world will not be destroyed seven years later... Even if I leave the Kurohimeyama clan, it will be meaningless if the world is destroyed seven years later." If I join the Renjo Chamber of Commerce, I will definitely have to stay with Renjo Senjuro every day or leave the north and go to Kyoto. Then I will not be able to support Ye Ming, which is not worth the loss.

"By the way, you should have been single and unmarried, right?"

Renjo Senjuro's voice did not stop either.

"Are you interested in marrying Ye Ya?"

"what?"

"Actually, Ye Ya's grandfather, Ji Ding, also asked me to help him find a son-in-law."

Renjo Senjuro smiled slightly: "I think you are a good candidate."

"No, no, no... Miss Ye Ya is still a child, right?"

"Not young at all! A girl of this age can get married in a few years."

Lianzhang Xianjuro disagreed: "Jiding is old. After his son died, there was no male heir in the family. The people in the village had other ideas. Otherwise, they wouldn't have secretly excluded Ye Ya. He must want to find a capable son-in-law to inherit the family business..."

"Well……"

Baijie couldn't accept this.

He was a modern man at heart, not a lolita fan. Ye Ya, this little girl, was so young, in his eyes, she was far from an "adult".

Also, Baijie is very conservative in his preferences for women and can only accept women who are close to his age or slightly older than him.

"No."

He finally refused.

"It's ok."

Renjo Senjuro patted his shoulder.

"It's hard for you to think clearly in such a short time. You don't have to rush this matter. Think it over carefully before coming to me."

Baijie could only smile bitterly and nodded.

……

In the huge castle of Kasumigao Castle, the family elder Akamatsu Mitsuyuu, accompanied by several of his men, came to the dungeon in the basement.

Led by several guards holding torches, the group slowly walked into the dark underground passage.

Layer upon layer of barriers shining with Sanskrit symbols tightly separate this place from the outside world.

This is a powerful barrier set up by the high monk of "Satokoya", which is difficult to break even for a skilled magician.

blah blah.

I walked down the long stairs, not knowing how far I had gone.

The elder and his group, wearing wooden clogs, saw a gray-green stone gate faintly appearing in front of them.

"Open it."

Akamatsu Mitsusuke gave the order, and the guard had no choice but to open the door.

"You come in with me, the others stay outside... Also, who cares if anyone tells anyone about what happened today."

The patriarch gave the order, and several guards from samurai families nodded faithfully.

Akamatsu Mitsusuke then strode in.

This is behind the stone gate, the place used to seal powerful magicians or monsters.

Of course, it can also be used to seal the corpses of certain dangerous monsters.

The remains of the two members of the Eight Fortunes Society who were killed by "divine punishment" last night, the "resurrectionist" Jinno, and the "bird demon" Kuki, were stored here.

"These two bastards."

Akamatsu Mitsuyu's eyes were filled with anger.

"I originally thought they could take care of Renjo Senjuro, but I didn't expect them to be unable to even handle such a trivial matter... Humph, the so-called Eight Fortunes Society is only this level. I am really disappointed."

As the elder of the family, Akamatsu Mitsusuke is extremely ambitious. He sees the aging castle lord and the young lord Tsuru Chiyo.

As long as he could find a way to place the city lord under house arrest or poison him, he could use the young lord Tsuru Chiyo to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes and become the true master of Xia City.

However, to accomplish this, relying on one's own strength is far from enough. Akamatsu Mitsusuke secretly colluded with the people of the Eight Fortunes Society, hoping to use them to achieve his own goals.

However, the two people sent by the Hachifukukai, Shenye and Kuki, not only failed in the assassination, but were also killed on the spot, ruining their own good deeds.

When Akamatsu Mitsuyu thought of this, he became more and more annoyed, and his fair face became gloomy.

Hehehehehehe...

A faint laugh drifted in the darkness.

"who!?"

Akamatsu Mitsuyu and his men heard it, and both of them felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Who are you, you idiot, to play tricks on me?"

The family elder's voice was filled with vigilance, and he drew the sword from his waist with a clang. The samurai guards around him also made the same movement.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

That was clearly a woman's laughter.

The two people in the stone dungeon felt their scalps tingle, and a strong and eerie feeling that made their pores shrink ran up the back of the family elder Akamatsu Mitsuyu.

"Don't make such a fuss~~ Lord Akamatsu."

A charming yet hollow voice gradually sounded.

At the same time, the biting cold air slid across the skin.

Akamatsu Mitsuyu and his guards twisted their necks stiffly and looked behind them, or strictly speaking, they were staring at the shadows on the ground.
