Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1084 Inheritance

   Everyone present knows that as long as the samurai faction controls the urban area of ​​Nagoya, then the entire Nagoya city circle is basically the possession of the samurai faction. . . As long as nothing unexpected happens.

"As for why the public faction suddenly chose to withdraw from the city, we also sent a lot of people to inquire about the situation, and even launched a lot of high-level eyeliners for this, but unfortunately still found nothing, so the above decided to release a special task, that is to go to Find out what medicine the public faction sells in the gourd, this special mission will have very good basic rewards, and additional rewards will be added according to the results of the investigation, so friends who are confident in gathering intelligence can prepare."

When Bai Tian Shengren said this, he took a few steps back and let a man who looked to be in his thirties stand up, "Hello everyone, I believe everyone should know who I am? So I won't be myself here. Introduced; the reason why I came here this time is mainly because Mr. Shimadzu Nakano heard that you have won the city of Nagoya, so I specially asked me to bring you rewards."

"This person is Shimadzu Nagano. His current identity is a spokesman for the samurai faction. He looks like an ordinary person like Shimadzu Hirodo, but there are rumors that Shimadzu Nagano has received professional training since he was a child to deal with ghouls. I still have a good hand with the deep diver." Yin En whispered: "Although the major families of the island country have some friendship with the mythical creatures on their own territory, they also know that there is a saying called non-me races, their hearts must be Different, so some families with abilities will arrange some children to learn how to deal with mythical creatures from childhood, and mainly use cold weapons, because for a person who has received professional training, cold weapons are much easier to use than firearms."

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "I think this is normal, after all, as long as it is a family with a sense of crisis, they all know that those mythical creatures are not easy to deal with. It will become a piece of meat on the chopping board, at most, ribs, so you have to prepare more cards for yourself, but this Shimadzu Nagano doesn’t seem to want to be the kind of person who has been trained for a long time.”

   The reason why Liu Xing said this is because Shimadzu Nagano looks thin, not like the kind of person who can use cold weapons to deal with mythical creatures in Liu Xing's impression.

"This is what makes Shimadzu Nagano special, because most people who have received professional training will choose to use swords as their main weapons. One is that it is easy to carry, and the other is that the attack surface of the sword is larger and can be used against mythology. The possibility of damage caused by creatures is higher, but Shimadzu Nagano did not choose to transfer to a popular warrior, but became an assassin, because the Shimadzu family obtained some excellent quality ores a long time ago, However, the amount of these ores was too small, so the Shimadzu family had to choose to make these ores into hidden swords and crossbow bolts, and coated these hidden swords and crossbows with poison that could seal the throat with blood, so This set of equipment has always been used by ninjas who are loyal to the Shimadzu family." Yin En said.

   Liu Xing raised his brows and couldn't help but look at Shimadzu and Nagano, but he still couldn't see anything.

   However, for a ninja, it takes a lot of practice to be able to perform like ordinary people in normal times, so this is also equivalent to proving the strength of Shimadzu Nagano.

"It seems that this Shimadzu Nagano should be Shimadzu Nakano's bodyguard. After all, during the Warring States Period, many ninjas never participated in external operations, but kept secretly guarding their lord, but I have a question I would like to know The answer, that is why Shimadzu Nagano's father gave his son such a name? Could it be that the Shimadzu family is so enlightened that they don't need to avoid the taboo of Shimadzu Nakano?"

Zhang Jingxu, who was sitting behind Liu Xing, continued: "The island country has always been deeply influenced by Chinese culture, so it stands to reason that Shimadzu Nagano's father should have deliberately avoided the word 'Nakano' in Shimadzu Nakano, rather than let him His son is called 'Nagano' to overwhelm 'Nakano'. Could it be that Shimadzu Nagano's father had a conflict with Shimadzu Nakano back then, or even fought for the position of the head of the Shimadzu family? But I checked the relevant news , and found that there was not even a gossip about it."

   Liu Xing expressed great interest in this.

Because such a big family like the Shimadzu family has been in the island country for hundreds of years, its members must be able to read and write Chinese characters, but in the history of the island country, there have also been many famous taboo renaming incidents, such as once Tao Jingxian, who single-handedly brought down the good situation between the Ouchi family and the Tao family, was originally called Tao Longfang, and the owner of the Ouchi family at that time was called Douchi Yilong, so Tao Longfang changed his name to Tao in order to avoid his lord. Eye-catching.

   Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the name Shimadzu Nagano must not appear in the nephew of Shimadzu Nakano, because the word "long" obviously suppresses the word "zhong", so how can a nephew take this name?

"I know some gossip about this, because when I was working in the island country, I met ninjas in the island country before, and I got along well with a few of them, so I heard from them after I became friends. Less anecdotes about island ninjas. For example, the name Shimadzu Nagano is actually a heritage name, which involves a tradition in the island country, that is, some industries will continue certain names as a kind of inheritance from generation to generation. These The names are basically from the most outstanding talents in the industry, or big figures who have established a school, just like Kabuki, rakugo and other industries in the island country have such examples.”

"In the relatively closed circle of island ninjas, we often hear about Iga ninjas and Koga ninjas with their own inheritance names. For example, the most famous names are Sarubi and Sasuke; of course, some big families The names of some people who have made contributions to the family will also be preserved, and then if someone in the descendants reaches the same height as them, then this person will inherit the name, and there is a ninja in the history of the Shimadzu family. He is called Nagano, he has been by Shimadzu Yoshihisa's side all his life, so 'Nagano' has become the name of the chief ninja of the Shimadzu family, so it is not surprising that Shimadzu Nagano can inherit this name, after all, this is the rule handed down from the ancestors , Shimadzu Nakano is not easy to say." Shi Zixuan interrupted.

Liu Xing nodded and said, "So it is, when I used to watch variety shows and TV series in the island country, I often saw some very strange and very long names, so I also checked these people. What is the origin, and then I found out that they are the traditional arts of the island country - rakugo, Noh, Kabuki and other industries, the stage names that have been passed down by some big families in the industry, and it is also a symbol of their status, but I didn't expect that ninjas would also do it. This set."

Shi Zixuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Not only that, some Onmyoji families will also pass down the names of their ancestors. If we meet an Onmyoji named Abe Abe in the future, then we can be sure that he is the current or former head of the Abe family. The Onmyoji who arrived is named Abe Haru, then we can know that he is the thigh that we must hug."

"Of course, this situation exists in many countries in the world. For example, Westerners often pass their names on to their children, which is why three generations of grandparents have the same name, especially Some royal families may have passed down a name for more than ten generations. For example, the Ferdinand family in France passed down the name of Louis for sixteen generations. If Louis XVI hadn't been sent to the guillotine, we might listen to it now. To a somewhat convoluted name like Louis XXI."

"When it comes to why Westerners inherit their names, I remember that another important reason is that their names represent their occupations, so in that era when sons inherited their father's business, it was normal for sons to inherit their father's name. It is equivalent to the situation where we like to be called Zhang Blacksmith, Liu Mugong, etc." Zhang Jingxu said, rubbing his chin, "But this is quite convenient, you can know who this person is just by looking at the name."

   As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, he saw some men in black holding a stack of boxes suddenly appeared around, and handed the boxes to everyone one by one.

   It seems that this is the reward from Shimadzu Nagano's mouth.

   After taking the box, Liu Xing said with great interest: "What do you think is in this box? It can't be a mobile phone or something, right?"

"How could it be a mobile phone? We are not the person who will give out prizes at the company's annual meeting and can sit here. That person is the owner who will lack mobile phones? So unless Shimadzu Nakano is really having a headache, it is impossible. Take mobile phones, jewelry and other popular goods as rewards; but then again, for those of us, it’s really hard to give rewards like this that everyone can share. After all, there are so many things to choose from. Less, and the cost is not easy to control." Yin En shook the box and said.

Liu Xing nodded deeply and said: "Yes, those of us are definitely not short of those external things, so only magic props are what we want, but there are not many magic props that can be mass-produced, and such magic props More than 50% of them can be perfectly replaced by modern technology products. For example, flashlights can completely beat those magic props of lighting, and all kinds of firearms can completely destroy those magic props with attack spells; as for the rest The 50% of the cost must be considered. After all, the production materials of magic props are not ordinary, and some materials can not be bought with money, so Shimadzu Nakano wants to rely on these rewards to buy People's hearts are likely to be self-defeating, losing the madam and losing the army."

   Liu Xing wanted to open the box while talking, but after groping for a while, Liu Xing realized that he didn't know how to open the box.

To put it simply, although this box looks like a very common type of box without a lock, but because the cover is tightly stitched, let alone Liu Xing's nails, even the blades Li Hanxing took out It doesn't work at all.

   As for throwing the box up and down a few times, it has no effect at all.

   So, what kind of reward is this?

Just when Liu Xing was about to complain that Shimadzu Nakano wanted to play tricks this time, Shimadzu Nagano said: "I believe everyone should have discovered that this box cannot be opened by conventional means, right? Yes, these boxes are actually rewards, because These boxes are made by mixing a variety of materials through a special process, and then processed into this shape through the same special method, so if you don't know the correct way to open the box, then unless it is a leader-level mythical creature, Or the Yisi people with black technology, otherwise no one or mythical creature can open this box through abnormal means!"

Hearing what Shimadzu Nagano said, Liu Xing noticed that the material of this box is indeed a bit special. many.

More importantly, the flexibility of this box is also very strong, because Liu Xing saw a passerby next to him and took out a dagger that was not ordinary at first glance. Instead of making the sound of gold and iron symphony as Liu Xing imagined, and then let the dagger not enter, or even break the tip directly, he plunged the dagger into it like a piece of marshmallow, and then quickly bounced. open.

   But the most important thing is that the length of the dagger into the box is significantly greater than the thickness of the box, which means that in addition to its strong sealing ability, the box also has black technology such as folding space.

   Is this the space equipment that every protagonist in the legend should have?

   But the box is bigger than Liu Xing's palm, and it doesn't look like it's suitable for carrying around.

   Shimadzu Nagano was also happy to let everyone present "study" how to open the box in an abnormal way, so he didn't rush to say anything, just stood there smiling.

   A few minutes passed in such a turbulent way, and all the people present did not open the boxes in their hands.

  Seeing this situation, Shimadzu Nagano said: "Actually, it is very simple to open this box, you just need to say a series of numbers to the top of the box."

   At this time, the men in black handed over a small note with numbers to Liu Xing and others.
