Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Swallow the pill, close your eyes and adjust your breathing.

A sword lay flat on her knees, a weapon unlike any ordinary person had ever seen.

It's clearly just a sword, why do you say it's unprecedented?

Because this sword seemed to have a spirit, it automatically extended and the sword body separated automatically, like a coiled snake, sticking closely to Qin Xuezao's body, with the sharp blade touching the skin.

The name of the sword is Snake Belly.

Bai Yu once asked Qin Xuezhao two questions. The first was whether she planned to practice sword; the second was whether she planned to get a whip.

Qin Xuezhao denied both questions, but in fact Bai Yu was not wrong in asking, or rather... he was half right in asking both questions.

The serpent sword is a combination of a sword and a whip, and is also one of the most difficult to control lethal weapons.

This sword uses the spirit-infusing technology of the Equipment Refining Academy. The weapon has a spirit and will grow on its own.

The initial forging is completed. Whether Qin Xuezao can finally control the snake-belly sword or be injured by it depends on himself.

During this retreat, she not only needs to break through her own bottleneck, but also needs to subdue this snake-belly sword.

……

Everyone has their own troubles.

White elm is no exception.

Although he avoided the Shura field in the real world by cleverly giving gifts, he still could not avoid the troubles that followed.

[New regional dungeons have been opened]

【Library of Truth】

The once-mighty Palace of Wisdom's largest library, since the empire's fall and the Shadow World's engulfment, has fallen into darkness, never to see the light of day again. Hidden within this library is an astonishing amount of knowledge and original copies of that knowledge. Vast tracts of knowledge trample on each other, and wise magical books whip each other. Powerful magical guardians and summoned beasts appear in the chaos, eventually transforming this place into a terrifying forbidden area. Anyone who sets foot here in search of knowledge may forever become a floor tile under the truth.

[First floor (recommended level: 30~40)]

A new copy appears after the contract with the Gorgon Witch.

It is also a copy that can be repeatedly played.

However, Bai Yu was not worried about this. His fingers paused on the team composition.

Select the 'Wu Ming Ghost', select the 'Gorgon Witch'...

【Are you sure you want to enter? 】

“…Fuck, just die!”

【About to enter the dungeon】

Chapter 296 Dating

The entire Fuso society is quite fragmented and can be divided into three distinct layers.

The first layer is the upper layer of hereditary power based on the royal family, ministers, and aristocratic families.

The first level is the military family with the shogunate as the main body. The center of power is the shogun, who is located in Edo and only obeys orders from the royal family in Kyoto.

The last layer is the ordinary people, and the ones who control this layer are the extreme forces.

Fuso, Kanto region.

This is an extremely chaotic area with a huge underworld organization.

Most of the areas outside Edo and Kyoto were autonomous territories of local families, and the Yakuza organizations were tentacles extending to the lower levels of society.

Most of these organizations are groups, some of which are hounds raised by large families, and some of which maintain their existence through tributes.

Many Jidao families are simply declining martial arts families. They are unable to maintain their family existence due to the lack of successors or the decline of population, so they simply rely on the power they possess to develop the lower levels, creating the current Jidao prosperity. In this barbaric environment, there have been constant disputes between Jidao organizations. Coupled with the secret obstruction of the middle and upper levels, Jidao itself is synonymous with chaos.

Amemiya Mahiru was sitting in a compartment on the top floor of a restaurant, and could see the lively scene below through a screen.

She was dressed in a plain white long gown, her delicate cheeks covered by a Prajna mask, her legs in black stockings were cushioned under her hips under the hem of the gown, her hands were flat on her knees, a knife was automatically unsheathed and suspended in front of her, and every breath was accompanied by the breath of the Kuaiyu Knife.

This is 'Choretten', a comprehensive entertainment facility located in the Kanto region.

The first floor is a casino, the second floor is where geishas hang out, and the third floor is a place for more prestigious people to have fun.

And sitting in the top seat is Amamiya Mahiru, who is now the bodyguard here.

There was a knock on the door and a graceful figure walked in. It was a woman who approached cautiously and knelt in front of Amamiya Mahiru.

She was wearing a black kimono and had a beautiful face. Her makeup was completely inconsistent with her age. She walked cautiously and carefully, gazing at Amamiya Mahiru in front of her with great respect, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Sister Wuming, I'm too busy today, so I can only come to see you. I hope you can forgive me."

Shiromine Naomi is the current head of the Yakuza organization Shiromine Group.

The Hakuho Group is the earliest second-generation organization of the Kanto Union, second only to the group that founded the Kanto Union.

But her family died in an ambush half a year ago. Three elders, two sisters and two brothers all died overnight. The Baifeng Group began to decline. Now, even the third generation of the group dared to come and make trouble for them.

Naomi is well aware that she lacks strength, and since she is a woman, many of the organization's elders want to swallow her and her family business in one go. However, she also does not trust the other thugs she has recruited. If they are too strong, they will undoubtedly swallow up her own organization.

While recruiting some ronin into the organization, he also played both sides and checked and balanced each other, barely maintaining his position.

But this situation could not last too long. Her biggest weakness was that she could never enter the extraordinary realm.

Fortunately, she was lucky.

She met Amamiya Mahiru, who had just left Edo and disappeared.

Naomi still remembers what happened that day. On the neon-lit street, a sturdy assassin used a ghost-transforming pill and tore through the bodies of two organization thugs before rushing towards her like a chariot. At that moment, she felt that she was doomed.

Then, she saw a woman walking out of the crowd. She was wearing a conical hat. The moment she drew her sword, the lights in the block flickered. At that moment, Naomi seemed to hear the sound of raging waves. The person came with only one sword and cut the assassin in half along with her wild sword.

It was precisely because she had seen that knife that she dared to boldly extend an invitation to the back of the geishas and gangsters on half the street who were bowing their heads, inviting him to join her Baifeng Group.

Now a month has passed.

The other person became her "sister" and also her apparent protector.

After the other party easily killed two bastards who coveted Naomi at the meeting, the Hakufeng Group is now back under her control.

Shiromine Naomi feels gratitude, respect, admiration, and love for her sister.

She was not worried that the Baifeng Group would be taken away by the other party.

Because she didn't feel any ambition from the other person, and the other person was a woman, a woman who was more beautiful than herself.

So even if she slept with this sister, she would not suffer any loss and might even make a lot of money.

Naomi had secretly seen the other person taking off his mask, and the majestic beauty, like white plum blossoms in the rain, was unforgettable to her.

Until now, Naomi still doesn't know her sister's name, she only knows that she calls herself Wuminggui.

Naomi did not bother to investigate the other party's background to avoid annoying him.

Mahiru Amemiya finished her Qi training for the day, put down her Quick Rain Blade, and focused her attention on Naomi Shiromine.

A month ago, due to a coincidence, she got a good hiding place and successfully used the Yakuza to hide her identity.

Now that Ryuji Amamiya is nowhere to be found, she has to hide for a while to avoid attracting the attention of the Onmyoji and the shogunate.

The cooperation with Naomi is a natural thing. On the one hand, it can conceal his identity, and on the other hand, it helps Naomi regain control of the Hakubane Group, and the latter must rely on himself.

At that time, she can also use the Baifeng Group's position in the Kanto Alliance to gather information for herself.

Simply put, she took over the Hakubone Group from Naomi without much effort and became the actual person in charge behind the scenes.

However, Bai Feng had no complaints about this. Amamiya Mahiru lived a secluded life and had almost no needs. Both of them were women of the same age and their interests were tied together, which made them seem closer.

"You don't need to come here every day." Amamiya Mahiru said softly.

"Coming to see you isn't a burden, it's a relief." Naomi smiled sweetly, "Only in your presence can I feel free from so much pressure."

Amemiya Mahiru turned her head and looked out the window. Although she couldn't see, she could hear the noisy sounds, the colliding tables and chairs, the shaking dice, and the woman's moans.

Changletian, which is filled with countless decadent desires, is not suitable for spiritual practice.

But for her it was the second safest place.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Naomi noticed keenly.

"It's not that I'm in a bad mood, I'm just a little unfamiliar with this kind of place."

"I don't like this kind of place either, but..." Naomi smiled bitterly. "As Yakuza members, we can't do anything else for a living. It would be better if our Shiraho Group did it. It would bring less harm. At least... we don't use drugs."

Amemiya Mahiru said calmly, "I'm not blaming you. This is the way the world is, and most of us don't have a choice."

She lowered her eyes and said, "If there wasn't a reason for me to stay, I would really like to leave here and be done with it."

"Where do you want to go, sister?" Naomi asked immediately.

"Across the sea."

"Daxia?"

"...Maybe so."

What Amemiya Mahiru is thinking about may not be that place, but the place where that person is.

She knew very well that even if she went there, she might not be able to find it.

Naomi immediately struck while the iron was hot: "If there is a chance, I would also like to give up my family business and go to Daxia to take a look."

"Can you let it go?" Amamiya Mahiru asked back.

"Just thinking about it." Naomi picked up the teacup and drank it all. "If one day I can see things clearly... I hope my sister can lead me out of this quagmire."

Amamiya Mahiru smiled and said, "Okay."

Naomi looked at her in surprise, not knowing what to say next. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect...

"Are you surprised?" Amamiya Mahiru took in the other person's expression through her heavenly eyes.

"I thought Sister Wuming liked to be alone." Naomi stammered, "You will help me, isn't it because I am useful to you?"

She felt that she was far from qualified to gain Sister Wuming's trust.

The other person is always looking at something far away, like a beautiful fox fairy standing on the mountain and humming a song waiting for people.

"If I really thought so, I wouldn't have killed the assassin for you." Amamiya Mahiru changed to a more relaxed sitting position. "I'm willing to help you because you and I might be very similar."

Naomi listened to her talk about the past, her tone as gentle as the spring breeze in March.

"Someone reached out a hand and pulled me out of despair, so that I wouldn't be alone in the rain anymore... Now that I finally have some ability, I naturally want to hold an umbrella for others."

"Who is that person?" Naomi was very curious and asked, "Is that the person my sister loves?"

Amemiya Mahiru paused but did not answer.

"I'm just asking." Naomi immediately changed her tone, but noticed that her sister immediately stood up: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I have something else to do. I should go now."

There was a hint of suppressed anxiety and eager joy in Amemiya Mahiru's tone.

Her mood became extremely good.

Even a girl like Naomi who has no experience in love can easily smell the creamy scent emanating from the other person.

If she had the corresponding knowledge, she would definitely think of an adolescent girl rushing to go on a date.

After leaving in a hurry, Amemiya Mahiru returned to the quiet room of the Shiromine family as quickly as possible.

This was their farewell after more than a month of separation, so she naturally couldn't suppress her feelings and secretly thought about what to say during this meeting.

In fact, she could say anything. She just wanted to talk to him, hold his wrist and feel his body temperature. Only in this way could she reward and relieve the pain of missing him.

This is a date we haven't seen in a long time.

Amamiya Mahiru immediately dressed herself up beautifully and waited for the other party's call.
