The scene became even quieter.
After a moment of silence, several families spontaneously crossed the untouchable slide.
In the silence, Sayamiya Xin suddenly asked the young master of Jiufazhong, "Has the head of Jiufazhong not arrived yet?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, the young master of Jiufazhong explained why he was here.
"My father was struck by lightning on the balcony on the 28th floor of the hotel during a thunderstorm and is in trouble." When he said this, the young master of Jiufazhong couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
"The head of the Jiufazuka family was struck to death by lightning on the spot?" Sayamiya Xin looked a little confused when she heard this.
Thunder and lightning, speaking of thunder and lightning killing people, Sayamiya Xin suddenly thought of something very horrifying.
However, Sayamiya Xin could only think in her heart: "Is it possible... maybe it's not the weather, but human factors? After all, that Overlord can also use thunder."
Thinking of the crack that was big enough to tear open the demon world, thinking of the dark clouds that were hovering over the island country and had not disappeared, and thinking of the miserable state of the four missing guards, Sayamiya Xin felt an inexplicable fear in her heart and quickly shook her head.
"No, it's impossible. The place where the head of Jiufazhong died is a hundred kilometers away from the place where the exorcism took place. It would be impossible unless that person could carry out a precise strike at a distance of a hundred kilometers. Is this...07...possible?"
For some reason, Sayamiya Xin was a little bit convinced of her own very unreliable guess.
Because the existence and actions of that adult were beyond human common sense, he alone destroyed the monster's nest that the Onmyoji of their island country had been unable to deal with for thousands of years, and he solved it in a short period of time, which was enough to show the power of his killing gods was so powerful.
"Wanli Gu speculated that Qiao Qiao killed the gods with the power of thunder. There are too many gods of thunder and lightning, and they can be traced back to the Father of Heaven in the primitive Indo-European beliefs. There are too many Fathers of Heaven in theological concepts, and there are too many things that can be derived from Father of Heaven. It's too terrifying."
Sayamiya Xin didn't dare to think any further, for fear that if she accidentally blurted out something, she would be the next one struck by lightning.
So, what was the head of the Kuhozuka family doing at that time to be struck by lightning? Sayamiya Xin remembered that it was the head of the Kuhozuka family who had tried to propose to offer the Higurashi miko found among the people to the Marquis of Vauban in order to get his protection.
……
"Let's put aside the topic of discussing the king for now. Now, we must first determine the king's subject." Sayamiya Xin knew that there would be no result if this group of people continued discussing.
After all, if you don’t discuss this kind of thing for a week or two, there will basically be no unified result.
But this time it’s different, there’s a time limit!
At this point, after discussing for so long, everyone's opinions have gradually converged.
Now that we have truly determined what kind of guy Qiao Qiao is, we need to change our original strategy.
Therefore, we had to accept the requests made by Qiao Qiao, even if they were high.
Soon, Sayamiya Xin got the list of priestesses who were to be offered sacrifices.
When she saw the list of shrine maidens that were about to be offered up, Sayamiya Xin found that almost all the shrine maidens she knew were there, except for that one...
"Where's Seiakiin Ena?"
Sayamiya Xin asked when she saw that Seiakiin Ena, who was of the same generation as her, was not on the list.
The head of the Qingqiuyuan family coughed lightly and said, "Huina is still practicing. Besides, even if someone asks, you just need to answer that you don't know."
They were very careful to hide the information about the shrine maiden Kiyoakiin Ena.
Although they are all descendants of the four great families and the Hime-mikoto, Kiyoakiin Ena has a more special status among them because she is the granddaughter that Susanoo-sama loves very much.
At the same time, the bloodline possesses an extremely rare talent for necromancy, and can fight as an ordinary person by bearing the power of God.
If conditions permit, she with this talent might even be able to defeat the God of Disobedience and become a true godslayer.
Therefore, the Qingqiuyuan family would never allow such a precious child to become a living sacrifice to summon the god of disobedience.
The other three families knew about this. Although they were quite unhappy that this was an opportunity for Qingqiuyuan to dominate the market but it did not fall to their own families, they could do nothing about it.
Because they understand how powerful Hime Miko is, who was protected by Susanoo and even given the sword Ame Murasaki.
However, the words "Don't keep it to yourself" were deeply engraved in Sayamiya Xin's mind...
Fear made her say to the big shot in a defiant manner for the first time: "No, no, if the tyrant finds out that I have hidden Qingqiuyuan Huina, if the king finds out that there is a missing witch named Qingqiuyuan... what will happen? What consequences will there be? You know the consequences of disobeying the king's words."
The head of Qingqiuyuan frowned.
He was quite dissatisfied with Sayamiya Xin's words of rebellion.
Although Sayamiya Kaoru is said to be a member of the official history compilation committee of the mysterious side that rules the entire island nation.
However, in fact, the manipulators behind this organization are still these three families.
The leaders of the entire official history compilation committee can be changed again and again, but no matter how they are changed, they are all within the bloodline of these four families, which is the so-called eternal lineage.
Seeing Qingqiuyuan's dissatisfaction, the father of Sayamiya Xin, the weakest among the several families, hurriedly came out to mediate and said, "Xin, apologize to the head of Qingqiuyuan."
"Are you still thinking about being a fence-sitter? Don't you understand the current situation? Once we anger that demon king, our country may face the wrath of the God Slayer!" Sayamiya Xin said with a frown.
"I think we can only go by the will that Overlord has shown so far. Maybe he is just like the beautiful Mr. Smith, who is more caring towards civilians. He is also more common-sense and will not cause large-scale disasters." said the head of the Liancheng family.
But while they were talking, the other three family heads kept their eyes on Qingqiuyuan.
Kiyoakiin Ena only has the potential to become a godslayer, not that she is a godslayer.
If, at a certain point, the Qingqiuyuan family still only cares about themselves, the other three families will definitely not allow it.
Therefore, the head of Qingqiuyuan could only say: "Even if he is really angry... I will naturally offer Hui Na to him at that time."
The light assurance made Sayamiya Xin feel at a loss as to what to do.
"Hehe, if a piece of paper is wrinkled, is it possible to smooth it out?"
Sayamiya Xin said with a smile, and then, with a "smack", her father's palm landed on Sayamiya Xin's face.
Was there only a burning pain on his face, and his father's cold response of "get out".
"..." Sayamiya Xin was stunned, until the obedience she had developed over the years made her nod and leave the room.
There were only four remaining family heads in the room, and Qingqiuyuan had no intention of blaming them.
"Sayamiya Xin is right. What will happen if we anger the Demon King on Earth..."
"But we still have a trump card! That old man still has the God of Disobedience."
"The Godslayer is always changing, but the Susanoo is always strong. The master who has stood for thousands of years is right behind us. How can we surrender like a brat?"
A day later, the four major species of fish in the island nation also proved that their mouths were very hard, but their knees were softer than anyone else.
……
Island country, big hotel.
Sitting on the sofa, Qiao Qiao quietly looked at the magic books of the island country. After confirming that the contents were essentially the same as those in the library in Italy and could not be of any help to him, he threw the expensive ancient books aside in disappointment.
Erica knocked on the door and asked Qiao Qiao for his opinion: "King, the island nation has sent twelve priestesses. They are waiting outside the door now."
"Let them in."
The hotel door was opened by the guards, and Qiao Qiao's eyes fell on Sayamiya Xin who led the way in.
Knowing that she was being sacrificed as a living sacrifice, the tomboy obediently put on the shrine maiden costume.
"Sayamiya Kaoru has come to see the emperor. The island nation has offered twelve priestesses, including Sayamiya Kaoru and the Mariya sisters..."
"I saw it." Qiao Qiao waved casually and asked the witches to sit down.
Just looking at this group of young and beautiful girls who should be in school, Qiao Qiao was puzzled.
This kind of trick is like a war. It is clearly a gambling game among a group of old men, but the chips in the gambling game are the lives of young people.
This is how the group of witches are put on the table.
Many of the priestesses have been brainwashed by the island nation's forces for years, and are now even ready to make sacrifices. They look at Qiao Qiao without fear.
Just like that class particularly likes to create heroes and saints, they regard self-sacrifice as a noble cause.
376. God Slayer Qiao Qiao: Qingqiuyuan Hui Na is not on the list
Qiao Qiao didn't say anything, and no one dared to speak.
The atmosphere was very depressing.
Yuri Manrigani watched as the other priestesses looked at Qiao Qiao cautiously and in awe. Her sister Hikaru Manrigani seemed to want to speak, but Yuri covered her mouth with her hand.
Sayamiya Xin sighed at this.
Qiao Qiao said very abruptly: "Jianzi, why don't you dare to look up at me?"
Suddenly, all the priestesses present turned their attention to a girl hiding in the back row.
Their eyes were full of doubt and confusion. They didn't know how this unfamiliar miko could remember the name of the demon king in front of them.
"..."
Yotsuya Kenko screamed and felt as if there were thorns under his feet, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
I finally managed to get into the circle of shrine maidens, but I was still noticed even though I was hiding among them.
Sayamiya Xin took a look and said softly, "The king is calling you."
As the director of the official history compilation committee, she knew very well that the person who was most familiar to Qiao Qiao here was the shrine maiden Yotsuya Miko, who was rescued from the people and had the highest clairvoyance.
"Yes……"
Yotsuya Miko looked up at the figure called "the king". Even though the figure was against the light, Miko felt that he was definitely not mistaken.
"Is it Qiao Qiao?"
Hearing Jianzi's doubts, Qiao Qiao was a little speechless and responded: "Can you see other Qiao Qiaos?"
The confusion in Yotsuya Jianzi's eyes lingered, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Qiao Qiao was full of weirdness.
It's like the poor brother next door suddenly turns into a prince of Saudi Arabia.
This scene, which should have existed only in the imagination of older women, is now appearing in reality.
Yotsuya Miko, who has a normal and rational outlook, thinks this is too outrageous.
She, Miko Yotsuya, felt that everything started to go wrong after she came back from Mikitsunedani Shrine.
So magical.
……
"See you, come here."
Qiao Qiao waved.
If it was in a private setting, Yotsuya Miko originally didn't want to be in public
However, after hesitating for a while, she finally sat down on the same sofa next to Qiao Qiao in response to Qiao Qiao's tapping of the sofa as a signal, in front of the surprised gazes of the witches.
When the palm gently stroked Jianzi's exceptionally soft black hair, Yotsuya Jianzi exclaimed "Huh" and her face suddenly turned red and she looked at Qiao Qiao.
There were no words, but the tears in Jianzi's eyes showed how excited he was.
Jianzi didn't know why the big brother next door suddenly became so carnivorous.
However, Jianzi's body did not show any sign of rejection, and he even felt that this feeling was not bad.
Seeing this scene, Sayamiya Xin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this tyrannical king also had a human side.
Erica cast an envious look at Jianzi, who noticed it. Jianzi hurriedly tried to give up his seat: "Ms. Erica, no, sorry, I'm sitting in the wrong place. This should be your seat..."
"Jianzi, before I became a concubine, I was a knight. I am a knight who protects the king, and now I should serve by his side."
As Erica spoke, she suddenly winked at Jianzi and said, "It seems that Miss Jianzi agreed to my proposal?"
"what."
……
Qiao Qiao skipped the private topic between the two girls and asked, "Jianzi, you should tell me why you are here."
"Why are you here?" Yotsuya Miko's eyes were full of confusion.
Whether it’s the family of the perpetrator coming to your house to pay compensation, or someone suddenly breaks into your home and tells you in the name of a state agency, “If you don’t agree to the following request, it may lead to the destruction of the country.
The life-and-death crisis of the country's survival requires the priestess to step forward.
Although Jianzi is a high school student, she understands that she is obviously not the kind of high school student who can save the world.
The middle-aged man kept talking about the interests of the country and family.
Then, dozens of people who were obviously elites saw that the son seemed unwilling to agree, and even knelt on the ground.
Some of the political elites, whom Yotsuya Miko had only seen on TV before, even knelt on the ground and begged.
