Although they had to hide their whereabouts, their speed was not slow at all, and was not inferior to a fast-moving car at all.
After all, even if she lost the power gained from symbiosis with the Herrscher of Corrosion, Yae Sakura is still a Stigma Awakener and her strength should not be underestimated.
As for Shi Hen himself, there is no need to say more.
So it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at their destination - an Inari Shrine not too far from Senba Academy.
"arrive."
Avoiding the bustling shrine area, Shi Hen followed a small path into the back garden and finally slowed down his pace.
“Is this also the stronghold of Destiny?”
Yaezakura asked, looking at the shrine curiously.
"No, this is my base."
Turning to look at the witch, the mask covering Shi Hen's face quickly disappeared, revealing a handsome, young face with a smile.
Since he had decided to rescue Yaezakura, he naturally made sufficient preparations.
For example, buying a shrine.
"…Aren't you a knight of destiny, just like Kallen?"
Yaezakura was stunned.
"That was a lie."
Spreading his hands, Shi Hen chose to confess.
"..."
Yaezakura's pupils dilated instantly.
She felt deeply the malice of this world.
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Shi Hen. I am an elite cadre of the shadow organization World Serpent, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, the mortal enemy of Destiny, and also... the future leader of the Destiny Church."
He spoke softly, with a smile on his face.
Now that we have finished viewing the pictures, it is time to let Miss Miko see his dagger.
"Wait, isn't Lord Hen a knight of the Church of Destiny?"
Yaezakura immediately held her forehead with her hands, as if she had fallen into some kind of mental disorder.
It seems like this young man has too many titles.
Besides, he doesn't sound like a good person.
"Of course not." Shi Hen smiled and shook his head, "I haven't had the chance to join the Church of Destiny yet."
He is still looking for reasons to change jobs.
"Sir Hen, are you an enemy of the Church of Destiny?"
Yaezakura gradually grasped the key.
"No, the Church of Heaven's Fate and I have never been enemies. They just haven't pledged their loyalty to me yet."
Shi Hen said lightly.
Once he sends Bishop Otto on his way, he will be able to guide the Mandate of Heaven onto the right path.
"..."
Yaezakura's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
She felt that the boy's thoughts seemed a little dangerous.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Ying, as a friend, I should remind you one thing." Shi Hen said kindly, "Although I am not the enemy of Tianming, you are indeed the mortal enemy of the church."
Yaezakura's expression changed slightly: "How could it be? Kallen and I..."
"It's because of the Saint Lady." Shi Hen interrupted with a smile, "Coincidentally, the current leader of the Destiny Church is the Saint Lady's former fiancé.
Unfortunately, he seems to have a little misunderstanding about the relationship between you and the Saint."
Or maybe, this can’t actually be called a misunderstanding.
Glancing at the charming and pitiful face of the witch, Shi Hen had no doubt that Kallen would have some not-so-pure thoughts.
Kaslana is a group of people who only care about appearance.
"Humans can live for 500 years? What about Kallen?"
Not grasping the point of the boy's words at all, a glimmer of hope rose in Yaezakura's eyes.
"Unfortunately, the Saint Lady did die five hundred years ago."
Shi Hen shook his head.
"Karen..."
Yaezakura was speechless for a moment.
Although she had been mentally prepared for this matter, when she actually confirmed it from the young man's mouth, boundless grief instantly filled the witch's entire chest.
Looking at the fox-eared girl who was completely immersed in grief and unable to extricate herself, Shi Hen couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal state of human beings.
But it is precisely because of these imperfections that human emotions become even more precious.
With a sigh in his heart, Shi Hen went into the inner room, took out a set of tea sets, and slowly brewed tea on the stone table next to him.
This shrine and the nearby hills had long since taken the shape of the young boy, so he naturally knew what was inside the house.
The water boils, the tea matures, and the fragrance fills the air.
"I'm sorry, Master Hen, I lost my temper."
Sitting down at the stone table, Yaezakura wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice still choked with sobs.
"It doesn't matter, we still have plenty of time."
Shi Hen personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for the witch and comforted her softly.
The boy's internship in the Far Northeast will not be over for several days yet, so he has plenty of time to slowly train... No, rather, to teach Yaezakura the rules of survival in this era.
Holding the teacup in her hand, feeling the warmth coming through the delicate porcelain, Yaezakura calmed down a little and asked, "Master Hen just said that I am the mortal enemy of the Church of Destiny?"
"Yes. During the public trial of the Saint, she announced in public that she had fallen in love with a fox-eared priestess, and took all the blame for it." Glancing at Yaezakura, Shi Hen explained, "So, in the eyes of the archbishop, you are probably a bad woman who tempted the Saint to fall.
If he knew you were still alive, he would definitely capture you and cut you into pieces at all costs."
In more than a dozen Kallen fantasy series, the fox priestess, the only official villain, has died in hundreds of different ways.
And if Bishop Otto were to catch the real person, he would be happy to turn his fantasy into reality.
By then, Yaezakura will probably become Hundred-layer Sakura.
Yaezakura: “…”
She felt like she was being blamed for no reason.
However, if it was for Kallen...even if the other party was truly a god-like figure, she would be willing to raise this rebellious blade to the sky.
Gently grasping the slightly hot demon sword at her waist, a ray of red light like fire flashed in the witch's eyes.
"In this era, the Church of Heaven controls two-thirds of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that the archbishop is the emperor who reigns over all countries." As if he saw through the witch's thoughts, Shi Hen said leisurely, "You can never compete with him with your own strength."
As an awakener of the stigmata, Yaesakura's basic attributes are not low, even enough to surpass most A-level Valkyries, but her fighting skills... How can you compare a self-taught village girl from the Far East with a Valkyrie who has received elite training?
It is no exaggeration to say that anyone who can get a coaching seat at the Destiny Headquarters can basically be given a title like Sword Saint or Gun Saint if they are placed outside.
After all, Tianming never lacks money.
Even in terms of power, the Destiny Organization is undoubtedly the best in the world and has no problem attracting talent.
Although these sword masters are not as good as an ordinary B-level Valkyrie in a real fight, their understanding of combat skills is still worth learning from.
Moreover, even if we take the intensity of the battles as an example, with the modern simulation training room and various combat missions, the battles that the Valkyries face in half a year are enough to be much more than what the miko will face in her entire life.
"……I see."
Yaezakura looked down at the stone table in front of her.
"Then, Miss Sakura, would you like to consider working for me for a while?"
Turning the teacup in his hand and observing the elegant patterns on the blue porcelain surface, Shi Hen spoke softly, his tone as gentle as the whisper of a devil.
Chapter 120: Yaezakura's Swordsmanship Training
Inari Shrine, back mountain.
Standing in a clearing in the woods, Yaezakura held her breath and concentrated, looking around carefully observing every move around her. Even the pair of long fox ears on top of her head were erected, not missing any sound around her.
call out--
A sound so faint that it was almost like the fluttering of butterfly wings was heard.
The relaxed body instantly tensed to the extreme, and the scarlet sword in the witch's hand immediately rose horizontally.
Keng!
There was a sudden sound of metal clashing, and it turned out that a silver-white Tang sword fell on the demon sword.
The collision of the two swords produced countless sparks, but just when Yaezakura thought she could block the attack, the Tang sword suddenly flipped and the silver-white blade was already across her shoulder.
The other party had already calculated her every move.
"Yes, there has been progress."
With a flick of his finger, the Tang sword turned into countless points of light and disappeared. Shi Hen took a step back and said with a smile.
At the beginning of the training, the miko couldn't even see his shadow, until the moment the blade was placed on her body, she finally understood what was happening.
The assassination technique was inherited from Ying in the previous civilization era. Although Shi Hen had not studied it seriously, it was not difficult for him to replicate some of its power.
It is perfect for Yaezakura to practice with at this moment.
"But there's still no way to block Lord Hen's sword."
Yaezakura sheathed her sword and sighed somewhat disappointedly.
For a whole day, the best she achieved was to see the boy's blade.
"This is just the beginning. Miss Ying should be more patient." Shi Hen smiled and consoled, pointing to the pavilion not far away. "Miss Ying, you have worked hard in your training. Have some snacks, drink some tea and take a rest."
Glancing at the black-haired boy beside her who looked calm and collected, Yaesakura panted and nodded slightly.
Sitting down in the pavilion, Shi Hen was still the one who took the initiative to pour tea for the girl.
As a qualified boss, you should always show your concern for your subordinates.
Looking at the young man with a warm smile in front of her, Yaezakura pursed her lips, but couldn't help asking, "With Lord Hen's strength, even in the Stigmata space, you should be able to defeat the Herrscher of Corrosion alone, right?"
Having lived with him for five hundred years, she knew very well how powerful the Herrscher of Corrosion had in that state.
Even with the strength the young man has shown now, it is not too difficult to deal with the Corrosion Ruler.
Not to mention, these strengths are just the tip of the iceberg of the boy.
The other side's other form of white hair and white pupils was so terrifying that she felt it was just a fantasy.
"The Saint once said that what is important is not only the result, but also the process of achieving the goal."
Shi Hen smiled calmly.
Although he could defeat the Herrscher of Corrosion, it was impossible for him to obtain the final Key of Corrosion.
The boy does not have the kind of love that can influence the other person.
However, even if Shi Hen himself has no love, he can still borrow the love of others.
So Yaezakura must be awakened.
"...Sir Hen, there are only two of us here."
The witch lady said quietly.
At this point, you don't have to pretend to be Kallen's follower, right?
"Sorry, I'm used to it."
