Chapter 1084 Inheritance
Chapter 1084 Inheritance
Everyone present knew that as long as the Wu family faction controlled the Nagoya urban area, the entire Nagoya urban circle would be basically the treasure of the Wu family faction... As long as there was no accident.
"As for why the public faction suddenly chose to evacuate the city, we also sent a lot of people to inquire about the situation, and even activated many high-level eyeliners for this. Unfortunately, they still got nothing, so the above decided to issue a special task, which is to find out what the public faction is selling. This special task will have a very good basic reward, and will also add rewards based on the results of the investigation, so friends who are confident in collecting intelligence can prepare."
When Morida said this, he took a few steps back and let a man who looked about thirty years old stand up, "Hello everyone, I believe everyone should know who I am, right? So I won't introduce myself here; the reason I came here this time is mainly because Mr. Shimazu Nakano heard that you have already won the city of Nagoya, so he specially asked me to give you a reward."
"This person is Shimazu Nagano. His current identity is considered a spokesperson for the martial faction. He looks like Hirodo Shimazu, but there are rumors that Shimazu Nagano has received professional training since he was a child and is still very good at dealing with ghouls and deep diving people." Yoon whispered: "Although the major families of the island country have some friendship with mythical creatures on their territory, they also know that there is a saying that they are not my race and their hearts must be different, so some families with abilities will arrange for some children to learn how to deal with mythical creatures since they are young, and mainly use cold weapons, because for a person who has received professional training, cold weapons are much more useful than firearms."
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "I think this is normal. After all, as long as a family with a little sense of crisis, they all know that those mythical creatures are not easy to deal with. If one day they turn against each other, they will become a piece of meat on the chopping board, at most, even ribs, so you must prepare more trump cards for yourself. However, Shimazu Nagano doesn't seem to be the kind of person who has been trained for a long time."
The reason why Liu Xing said this is because Shimazu Nagano looks thin, unlike the person Liu Xing thinks that he can use cold weapons to deal with mythical creatures.
"This is the special thing about Shimazu Nagano, because most people who receive professional training choose to use swords as their main weapon. On the one hand, it is easy to carry, and on the other hand, the attack surface of the swords is larger, and the possibility of damage to mythical creatures is higher. However, Shimazu Nagano did not choose to change his job to a popular warrior, but became an assassin. Because the Shimazu family had obtained some excellent ores of excellent quality a long time ago, but the number of these ores was too small, so the Shimazu family had to choose to make these ores into slings and crossbow arrows, and applied poison to these slings and crossbow arrows with blood-sealed poisons. Therefore, this set of equipment has always been used for those ninjas who are loyal to the Shimazu family." Yoon said.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at Shimazu Nagano again, 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 equivalent to proving Shimazu Nagano's strength.
"It seems that Shimazu Nagano should be Shimazu Nagano's personal bodyguard. After all, during the Warring States period, many ninjas never participated in external operations, but kept secretly guarding their lords. But I have a question that I really want to know, that is, why did Shimazu Nagano's father give his son such a name? Is the Shimazu family so open-minded that they don't need to avoid the taboo of Shimazu Nagano's clan leader?"
Zhang Jingxu, who was sitting behind Liu Xing, continued: "The island country has always been deeply influenced by Chinese culture, so logically speaking, Shimazu Nagano's father should have deliberately avoided Shimazu Nagano's word "Nakano", instead of letting his son call Nagano to suppress Nagano's side. Did Shimazu Nagano's father had conflicts with Shimazu Nagano, and even competed for the position of the head of the Shimazu family? But I checked the relevant news and found that there was no trace of information about this."
Liu Xing expressed great interest in this.
Because the members of the big families like the Shimazu family that have been in the island country for hundreds of years must be able to read and write Chinese characters, but there have been many famous taboo-refusing and name change in the history of the island country. For example, Tao Jingxian, who once brought the good situation of the Danei family and the Tao family, was originally named Tao Longfang. The head of the Danei family at that time was named Yoshitaka Ouchi, so Tao Longfang changed his name to Tao Jingxian in order to avoid his lord.
Therefore, logically speaking, the name Shimazu Nagano is definitely impossible to appear in Shimazu Nagano's nephews, because the word "long" is obviously over the end of the word "zhong", so how can nephews choose this name?
"I know some gossip about this, because I met ninjas from the island country when I was working in the island country before, and I was quite aligned with several of them. So after becoming friends, I heard a lot of interesting stories about ninjas from the island country. For example, the name Shimazu Nagano is actually a heritage name, which involves a tradition of the island country, that is, some industries will continue certain names as a kind of inheritance generation after generation. These names basically come from the best talents in this industry, or have become a great figure who has established sects, such as Kabuki, Luoyu and other industries in the island country."
"In the relatively closed circle of the island nation ninja, we often hear that Iga ninjas and Koga ninjas also have their own inheritance names, such as the most famous ones should be Sarutobi and Sasuke; of course, some big families will also retain the names of some people who have made contributions to the family, and if someone in the descendants reaches the same height as them, then this person will inherit this name. In the history of the Shimazu family, there is a ninja called Nagano. He has been following Shimazu Yoshihisa for the rest of his life, so "Nano" has become the name of the chief ninja of the Shimazu family, so it is not surprising that Shimazu Nagano can inherit this name. After all, this is a rule passed down by ancestors, and Shimazu Nagano cannot say anything." Shizi-chan interrupted.
Liu Xing nodded in a slight understanding and said, "So that's it. When I watched island variety shows and TV series, I often saw some very strange and long names. So I also checked what these people are from, and then I found that they are all stage names that have been passed down by some big families in the traditional arts of island countries - Luoyu, Noiju, Kabuki, etc., and are also symbols of their status. As a result, I didn't expect that ninjas would do this."
Shi Zixuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Not only that, some Onmyoji families will also dismantle the names of their ancestors and pass on them. For example, the Abe family will pass on the word "Ming" to the head of the family. So if we meet an Onmyoji named Abe, we can be sure that he is the contemporary head of the Abe family or the former head of the family. As for the word "Jing" it will be passed on to the most outstanding talents among the children of the illegitimate children. So if the Onmyoji we meet is named Abe, then we can know that he is the thigh we must hold tightly."
"Of course, this situation exists in many countries in the world. For example, Westerners often pass on their names to their children, so the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have called the same name. Especially some royal families may have passed on one name for more than ten generations, such as the Ferdinand family in France, who passed on the name Louis for sixteen generations. If Louis XVI had not been sent to the guillotine, we might have heard some twists and turns of Louis XIYI now."
"When it comes to why Westerners inherit their names, I remember another important reason is that their names represent their profession. So in the era when the son inherited his father's business, it was normal for his son to inherit his father's name. It was equivalent to the situation where we like to call him Zhang Blacksmith, Liu Woodworker and others." Zhang Jingxu touched his chin and said, "But this is quite convenient. Just by looking at the name, you can know what this person is."
As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, he saw some men in black holding stacks of boxes suddenly appear around him, and handing the boxes to everyone one by one.
It seems that this is the reward that Shimazu Nagano mentioned.
After Liu Xing took the box, he said with great interest: "What do you think is the box containing? It can't be a mobile phone or something?"
"How could it be a mobile phone? We are not the one who can give prizes at the company's annual meeting. And if we can sit here, that's the one who lacks mobile phones? So unless Shimazu Nakano is really fucked, it is impossible to use mobile phones, jewelry and other popular goods as rewards; but then again, for us, it's really hard to send rewards like everyone, after all, there are too few things to choose, and the cost is not easy to control." Yoon Eun shook the box and said.
Liu Xingshen nodded with approval and said, "Yes, we must have no shortage of external things, so only magic props are what we want, but there are not many magic props that can be mass-produced. Moreover, more than 50% of these magic props can be perfectly replaced by modern technology products. For example, flashlights can beat those lighting magic props, and various types of guns can completely explode those magic props with attack spells. As for the remaining 50%, we have to consider the cost issue. After all, the materials for magic props are not ordinary items, and some materials cannot be bought with money. Therefore, if Shimazu Nakano wants to win people's hearts with these rewards, he may backfire and lose his wife and his army."
Liu Xing said as he wanted to open the box, but Liu Xing fumbled for a while before he found that he didn't know how to open the box.
Simply put, although this box looks like a very common type of lock-free lid box, because its lid is tightly slit, let alone Liu Xing's nails, even the blades Li Hanxing took out cannot play a role at all.
As for holding the box up and down a few times, it would have no effect at all.
So, what kind of reward is this?
Just when Liu Xing was about to complain that Shimazu Nakano wanted to come and play tricks this time, Shimazu Nakano said, "I believe everyone should have found that this box cannot be opened through conventional means, right? Yes, these boxes are actually rewards, because these boxes are made of multiple materials through special processes, and then processed into this form through the same special means. So if you don't know the correct way to open this box, then unless it is a leader-level mythical creature or an Issen with black technology, no one and mythical creature can open this box through abnormal means!"
After hearing what Shimazu Nagano said, Liu Xing noticed that the material of this box is indeed a bit special. At first glance, it seems to be a very ordinary wooden box, but as soon as you try hard, you will find that the strength of the box is much higher than you imagined.
More importantly, the flexibility of this box is also very strong, because Liu Xing saw a passerby next to him taking out a dagger that was not an ordinary person and harshly gave the box. As a result, the box did not make a sound of gold and iron clashing like Liu Xing imagined, and then let the dagger not get enough, and even directly break the tip of the knife. Instead, it trapped the dagger like a piece of marshmallow, and then bounced open quickly.
However, the most important thing is that the length of the dagger fell into the box is significantly larger than the thickness of the box. This means that in addition to its extremely 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?
However, this box is larger than Liu Xing's palm and does not look suitable for carrying it.
Shimazu Nagano was also happy to ask everyone present to "study" how to open the box through abnormal methods, so he was not in a hurry to say anything, just stood there with a smile.
After a few minutes of noisyness, no one present opened the box in their hands.
Seeing this, Shimazu Nagano said, "Actually, it is actually very simple to open this box. You just need to say a string of numbers to the top of the box."
At this time, the men in black handed over a small note with numbers written on them to Liu Xing and others.
