Four-Armed Divine Emperor

For them, it is an honor to be able to host a regent, even one who has "retired", for a period of time.

Hara Yoshimitsu was not running around simply to relax, she really wanted to "find the child", but the shogunate would not allow the former Taiko to run to the city and act crazy and see the children to see if they were my children, so they had to arrange someone to act out a trick to deceive her.

For example, I told her that I visited so many families today, so many families tomorrow, and so many people the day after tomorrow. I also took out some portraits, but unfortunately none of them were mine.

Moreover, Hara Yoshimitsu was crazy, not stupid. A few random people could not deceive her, and she did not want to stay in one place for a long time, so she could only "go to a new place four seasons a year", changing to a new place from time to time, and then let those nobles and nobles whom she knew or did not know play the role of a character, come out and say a few lines to fool the former Taiko.

As it happens, this month it is the Izumi family's turn.

......

Chapter 540

The reason why Asuma came to the Izumi family was because of Hara Yoshimitsu.

In short, it's a simple matter.

It's about seeking pleasure and visiting beautiful women.

Hara Yoshimitsu——El has decided to change the name of this unprecedented and extraordinary elder sister who possesses many rare attributes such as widow, mother, etc.!

Just call it "milky light"!

Taiko Mitsuru's reputation is known throughout the world. She is known as the most beautiful regent Taiko-dono in history. In particular, she combines the elements of military strength and lovableness (because her son or husband died), making her the dream lover of the men in the shogunate.

Many people want to marry her, even though they know that she is half crazy and half insane. Of course, some people may simply want to have sex with her. Fortunately, the good-for-nothing Taikohara Yoshinaka is indeed a good brother in this regard.

He is a double-headed person who enjoys both ends. He knows men too well. In the five years since he took the throne, he has personally punished seventeen people, all of whom were his sister's playboys. He would not care about normal things like writing poems and inviting public banquets, but he would take action if they crossed the line. Therefore, the half-crazy and half-insane Hara Yoshimitsu has lived a good and safe life since he stepped down.

However, this protection out of family affection was ultimately defeated by an overwhelming force. Even if he was as strong as a rock, he was facing a force that could split mountains and crack the earth, and even change the sky...

gods.

Asuma heard about Hara Yoshimitsu. He was born into an ancient forest barbarian tribe and was very fond of this legendary woman. He was strong and special, and he was happy to have a connection with her in one aspect, otherwise he would not be so loyal to the queen.

With Asuma's authority, he didn't need to come in person. He just needed to give an order or a decree. Even if the puppet Taiko fought desperately, it would be meaningless. The shogunate nobles, including the Hara family themselves, would capture Hara Yoshimitsu, tie him up and send him to the shrine kingdom of "Saegusa Tenjin", and they would be proud of it.

But Asuma is a traditional person. When pursuing the opposite sex, the more special the other person is, the more effort they will put in, even if they don't have the time.

"XXX has a giant dragon. I'm going to kill it as a gift or betrothal gift to you."

"I will use an epic battle as a testimony of my love for you"

In short, it is necessary for the opposite sex, especially men, to exercise their subjective initiative. If it is obtained easily, the deliciousness will be reduced.

Of course, Asma would definitely not be so traditional. He would just go and take a look, and take some of the goodies and favorites back with him. This can be considered as exercising his "subjective initiative".

Who can stop him?

Then, and then, he and El, who happened to come to the Eastern Continent to make trouble, were attracted by the ancient night scene of his hometown in another world, and decided to go on an "incognito visit". Because he didn't bring his "ID card", he couldn't go to the Internet cafe or brothel, so he angrily recited poems in public. As a result, he was caught by the Izumi clan who went out to drink and have fun during the festival. Seeing El's extraordinary demeanor, they thought he was a nobleman, so they took him home. Then, the two of them, who were both "playing pigs and eating tigers" with a bad taste, bumped into each other.

172: The arrangements are clear

When a small witch meets a big witch, he can only bow down in admiration.

Asma didn't dare to hide anything and told the whole story of why he came out.

He noticed that the boy's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous look, which made Asuma feel frightened, but he did not dare to move.

Because he knew that if the man in front of him wanted to kill him, the fact that he was suppressed by Al silently and without any ability to resist from beginning to end proved that he had the ability to take his life easily.

It was a very simple matter. In front of El, Asuma had no idea of ​​resisting at all.

Fortunately, El didn't go so far as to punish him for a woman he had just met. The former shogunate's Taiko was obviously El's target, but after all, Asuma and El arrived at the same time, and even Hara Yoshimitsu had only just been seen passively. No matter how unreasonable and willful El was, he wouldn't...

"How dare you! Not only are you chasing after my wife, but you're also coveting my mom?!"

Al suddenly roared angrily, like a thunderclap out of nowhere.

Asma learned the Oriental way of self-defense without any instruction:

"Unjust, unjust, Your Majesty!"

Asuma complained that he was really wronged and he couldn't tell whether the boy was just playing a prank or really wanted to punish him.

"Her Majesty the Queen and I have known each other for a long time..." He was about to think of some logic, but Al just interrupted him with a "Huh?"

Asma knew that it was useless for him to say anything, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

"Hehe, you, you..."

Al said a few sarcastic words and waved his hands, saying he had had enough of the joke. Asuma was timid and didn't dare to argue or talk back to him. There was no point in teasing him, so he said:

"Hold on, I'm going back to sleep first and will come to see you later." He stretched and had to immediately feel the warm embrace of his maternal elder sister Na Guang and replenish his mother's energy.

But Asma unexpectedly asked a tentative question: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, do you want to..."

"What do you want?"

Asuma gritted his teeth and said, "Is it to take that woman?" He saw El's eyes narrow again, and suddenly he had a sudden thought and quickly changed his words: "Is your mother, the Queen Mother, welcome back to the palace?"

As expected! After changing the words to match Al, the boy's expression

Chapter 541

It feels soothing.

Although this moodiness was a bit scary, Asuma suddenly felt that he seemed to have grasped a way to deal with El?

"Of course." Eru said nonchalantly at first, but suddenly became serious again, and said to Asuma with a sincere and heartfelt sigh:

"She already has no children... I can't let her never be a mother again!"

He spoke solemnly and forcefully, as if he were making some grand wish, full of compassion for the world.

But Asma didn't dare to complain in his heart because the person in front of him could "hear" him. He just continued to be cautious and put forward his own tactful thoughts along this topic.

"That's true, but..." This time, Al didn't deliberately use exaggerated movements or expressions, but simply asked him in a normal way: "But what?"

Asuma thought that it would be a fatal blow anyway, so he decisively expressed his concerns:

"She is the sister of the current ruler of this mortal kingdom. Although she has lost her power, her status is still very high. If she suddenly disappeared..."

"Then you dare to come?" Al asked back.

Asuma gritted his teeth and continued, "I'd like to marry them if possible. This would bring the mortals closer to me, allowing me to expand my influence among them. Furthermore, even if I bring them... I have to consider their opinions. Given multiple options, they're not mere specks of dust that can be completely ignored."

"Hmm...you make a lot of sense."

Al nodded, and then said: "Okay, I will solve this problem. By the way..."

He seemed to have remembered something and said, "It seems that you are quite dedicated to your work. Well, it's almost time, you can set off."

"Set off?"

Asuma's first reaction was that he had misheard.

"Yes." Al smiled. "Go out now and run south. It's best to walk quickly. There's a very conspicuous golden tower about 30 kilometers away. A battle is about to begin there. If you go there now, you'll be able to 'coincidentally' unleash your might and take them all down."

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, who is fighting...with whom?"

Al asked doubtfully, "Of course it's your people and the White Tower, who else could it be?"

"Our people?!"

Asma was shocked. He was one of the three Old Gods who had returned to Ir. He could be said to be the highest level of the Old Gods in Ir. How could he not know that a battle was about to take place on the edge of Chang'an?

But after a moment's thought, combined with Al's words, "the fight will begin...immediately", which was clearly a description of something that had not yet happened, and the location reported down to the minute details of a landmark building, an idea immediately emerged in his mind.

"Is this your plan?"

"Ah."

As for how to provoke, or more accurately, escalate, the conflict between the White Tower and the Old Ones, igniting an all-out war as quickly as possible, Ai'er's approach was simple, as simple as it could be: defeat cleverness with force. Don't you all want to avoid a hasty war? Are you all practicing "preparation and restraint"? I'll just find a fuse that you must manage and ignite.

Before coming to Chang'an, he first went to Atlantis, a special continent with a relatively low sense of existence and few contacts with the outside world. Its specialness lies in that it is a continent where the lives of extraordinary people and mortals highly overlap. It is a leader in the integration of extraordinary and mortal civilizations. Some scholars have always believed that the future world of Il will be based on Atlantis. The reason why the mages did so on Atlantis, a "continent" with a total area only the size of the Alan Empire, is that the White Tower is conducting their "social experiment", trying to deduce a civilization where the extraordinary and the mortal world merge.

There are no feudal nobles in the popular sense here, because from bureaucrats to nobles, they are all extraordinary people, and there are also many spellcasters among those without positions.

It is equivalent to a combination of Ctesiphon that has been expanded many times and the open area of ​​the floating city where many mortals are active.

Moreover, there is more than one nation in Atlantis. Mages are kings, priests, republican leaders, and warlords. Conflicts, wars, expansion, and annexation will break out between nations...

There is really no more reasonable conclusion to all these strange situations than that the wizards are conducting a "social experiment".

Chapter 106: This is Sparta (V) (49)

What Al used to do was simple.

According to the intelligence gathered by the descendants, Atlant is also a key area for infiltration by the old forces. They believe that compared to those high-ranking people who rule but do not govern, the extraordinary people in Atlant have experience and attempts as rulers, and perhaps they have more common language with them?

So they kept trying to win over some people, and because this place belonged to the mortal world, it happened to avoid the spotlight of the White Tower's internal review. Their infiltration had achieved considerable results, and some targets had been identified. In order to make things bigger, Ai'er specifically found a person who had been targeted but was still in a wavering stage - in fact, it could be said that he was about to "rebel" because he was lured by the enemy, but did not report or confess but kept it to himself, which made him a disloyal leader of the kingdom.

This man is very old and is about to die. The reason why he comes to Atlantis to be such a "king" is that the White Tower sees that he is old and will not grow any older, so they simply make use of him and extend his life by thirty years, and put him here to be such a "king" as a simulation.

And the gods could promise him long life, so

Chapter 542

It's reasonable to be shaken.

However, he is probably still considering whether to report to the White Tower and defend himself at the same time, and then see if he can take the right path in exchange for prolonging his life, or to seek wealth and honor at the risk of his life and cooperate with the remnants of the old times.

Al pushed him.

The unrivaled psychic power directly controlled this man and made him make a choice. Then, when the two sides met, they happened to be discovered by an elite mage guard. As a result, the two sides started a fight and a major battle involved more and more people.

Then, the old forces wanted to escape, but the White Tower didn't let them. Both sides used teleportation spells, anti-teleportation spells, anti-anti-teleportation spells, and anti-anti-anti... The spell undoubtedly had a "small problem" in the end, and turned into a large-scale group teleportation without distinguishing between friend and foe.

A large group of them, both sides of the war, were directly dragged to Chang'an Jing by someone in a situation disguised as a magical accident. This was now the core of the old forces' sphere of influence in Neyil.

Al actually saved their lives, otherwise one-third of these people would have died directly in accidents caused by teleportation, such as their bodies appearing in the wall, or "overlapping" with other people, or being thrown into the void outside the domain and dying quickly.

Now they appear alive in the "capital" of the enemy country. If they surrender quickly, they can still save their lives. The old forces are short of manpower, they value talents, and most likely... they will not kill indiscriminately before they have no choice but to do whatever they want.

A war broke out right under his nose, and it was impossible for him not to take action. He was fighting at home, and the result was obvious. The White Tower side certainly couldn't afford such a huge loss. You poached my players and captured my people. If he didn't retaliate, it would be too weak for him to be the overlord for thousands of years.

Then Al has several such "adding fuel to the fire" plans, and they haven't all erupted yet. He can tolerate it once, but what about twice or three times?

And since he met Asuma this time, it was perfect timing. Is there anything more devastating and unbalance-breaking than a "true god" taking action?

The opponent's strongest fighters are bullying the weak, where are our people?

Chapter 173: Winning over the Goddess of the Sun

Asuma is not stupid. After all, he is a "god" who has lived for thousands of years. After El finished speaking, he immediately understood his thoughts.

"Be the first to provoke a conflict between the two sides..." He thought, indeed, this was a very good idea, and it even took his safety into consideration. After all, it was not him who took the initiative to cross the border, but the people under him did not do their job well, and at the same time, the mages appeared in the Eastern Continent first.

It is an unspoken rule that the high-end combat forces of both sides do not directly invade each other for the time being, because once this is broken, it often means that a full-scale war is not far away.

Neither the Old Gods nor the White Tower wanted to rush into this stage. They all believed that they could prepare more and that "time is on their side." The White Tower wanted to delay, preferably until the "stars return to their positions," while the Old Gods wanted to take advantage of this stage to quickly replenish their blood and integrate the human resources they had swallowed up. Otherwise, it would be unwise for them to enter the battlefield with bodies that had been hungry and exhausted for thousands of years. Now, with every day that passes, their strength will increase a little, and they will be more confident in all-out war. However, they cannot delay too long and must do everything possible to launch a full-scale offensive before the "stars return to their positions" to establish a winner.

But Al obviously did not want to see a "calm peace on the Western Front" between the two sides. It was obviously more beneficial to him as a third party to provoke a dispute in advance.

"I will carry out your orders, Your Majesty. I will strive to make Parliament aware of the threat posed by both sides, thereby igniting the war in advance. This will undoubtedly weaken the strength of both sides and pave the way for your and the Queen's ultimate victory... But if possible, I hope you will grant me asylum during the war."

Asuma accepted El's task and also made his own small request: "You know, I am not a strong one among the gods. Once a full-scale war breaks out..." He did not say the rest, but El must have understood it.

His attention was originally focused on the pond on the side, where there were a few ornamental koi. Upon hearing this, he glanced at Asma, waved his hand, and said nothing.

"Uh..." Asma didn't know what his majesty meant. If it was a rejection, it would be too harsh and ruthless. After all, he was now his partner. If not... It was hard for Asma to be a god for thousands of years. Usually, others had to guess his intentions and emotions. It was very rare for him to take the initiative to guess others. Even in front of the queen, he had never been so humble.

"Tsk!" Al tutted, a little annoyed that Asuma didn't understand what he meant. "Waving your hand isn't a rejection, it's a way of telling you there's no need to say anything! How can you not understand something so simple?"

He said, "You should read more and learn more. You've been calling yourself a god for too long. The wisdom of ordinary people may be the most valuable thing for you to learn. There are so many nobles and powerful families in the shogunate. Find a few capable mortal bureaucrats and counselors to bring with you for reference."

What else could Asma do? He could only obey.

"Oh, one more thing." He was about to leave when Al suddenly stopped him and asked a question: "You guys performed quite well this time back. Who came up with those methods of opening up magic restrictions and buying off the public?"

"It was planned by Agares and Amentis, and was unanimously approved by the Council and then implemented."

Agares and Amentis are the twelfth and seventh gods of the Old Twenty-Four Gods respectively.

Chapter 543

Wisdom and strategy are one of his specialties.

After hearing this, Al smiled and said, "Your friend also contributed, right?"
