I rely on myself

Chapter 474: West Heaven Palace

————Western Heaven Palace.

This shrine is located on Mt. Nikko in Tochigi. It is part of the Nikko Toshogu Shrine and was originally built to worship the gods in the early Edo period.

When mentioning the god, one would think of his real identity, which is Tokugawa Ieyasu, so superficially speaking this shrine is only used to serve this person.

But in fact, the true identity of the God is someone else. His true identity is a steel-attributed god of disobedience. In the past, he borrowed the power of magic-related people all over Japan, and with the help of many wise men in the underworld, he wove a powerful sealing spell to turn it into a sword to protect the country.

The duty of the Kuhozuka family is to use the Hime-miko who possesses some special abilities to temporarily lift the sealing spell, so that the steel inside can temporarily recover its strength, and use its power to repel the coming disaster.

It is precisely because of such a special reason that the Kuhozuka family attaches great importance to the existence of someone who can serve as the shrine maiden of this shrine, and after knowing the ability of Manritani Hikaru, they have been working so tirelessly to poach her.

At the same time, a lot of thought has been put into the guarding of this place. Ordinary people will definitely not be discovered here.

At this time, there was a young girl who was visiting here as if no one was around. She was not only visiting the shrine building on the surface, but also the secret place leading to the so-called god.

Of course, because she didn't have the corresponding secret method, she still couldn't enter the seal to meet the god.

After the girl had completely toured the place and even wanted to leave, the security that the Kuhozuka family was proud of did not work at all.

Not only did he fail to stop the girl's actions, he couldn't even give her a warning. If this scene was seen by other great magicians or people above, they would surely be astonished by the girl's outstanding magical skills.

And this girl with amazing magical skills is none other than the god Zugenivia.

At this time, she left her base in Brittany, France, and came to this island country for no other reason than to find her master, the "Last King".

"Uncle, do you feel it? The existence inside the seal..."

Guinevere walked up the long stairs step by step, looking extremely dignified. With her beauty, she was particularly eye-catching even when she was just walking.

But the strange thing is that no matter who passes by him, his eyes will not fall on him. Even if someone happens to see his figure, he will just look away as if he saw nothing. There is no doubt that Guinevere performed some hidden magic on himself, which is why no one noticed it.

Although there was no one else around Guinevere, her question was answered by a voice that sounded out of nowhere.

"Well... although it is impossible to sense it clearly due to the seal, there is no doubt that what is in there is 'steel', and it is 'steel' of very high purity. If I were not responsible for this matter, I would really like to show up and have a good fight with him. What a pity——————!" The one who answered Guinevere was a very resolute male voice. Whoever heard this voice would think of an extremely pure warrior, and his words undoubtedly proved this point.

It is none other than the guardian of witches, the god of war who protects the ancestors of gods, Lancelot du Lac.

Guinevere was not at all surprised at the regret expressed in her uncle's words. After all, the two had been together for many years and naturally knew each other's personalities and hobbies very well.

But even so, it did not prevent Guinevere from complaining to her uncle: "Really, uncle, the most important thing for us now is to find the king first. How can we waste our time and energy on such things?"

While complaining, the girl's cheeks puffed up and she looked very angry, but her fairy-like beauty only gave people an extremely cute feeling.

As for his beloved daughter's complaint, Lancelot also apologized directly: "I'm sorry, my beloved daughter, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, I am Steel, the god of struggle, so when I meet a suitable opponent, I naturally want to compete. But you are right, we still have the important responsibility of awakening our Lord... So what? What should we do next?"

"No need to do anything. Originally, I did want to do something to lure the leader Luo Hao from the east here and ask her to help with the test. But I got some news a while ago. It seems that the leader has made some preparations and is planning to set off. I think she must have received help from the Steel Sage. So all we need to do next is wait, and then we can get what we want."

"I see. Although it's a bit regrettable that I can't do it myself, this is also for the sake of finding my Lord."

Since he knew that he could achieve his goal without taking any action, Lancelot stopped talking. Guinevere didn't care about it and slowly left here step by step, planning to find a suitable place to observe the next development.

On the other side, Kusanagi Godou and his companions, through their authority as godslayers, learned the truth about the Western Heaven Palace and that a disobedient god was sealed inside.

Because he didn't want to get into trouble, Kusanagi Godou didn't learn more about this god, but he also understood how important the responsibility of the Kyuhozuka family was.

After some thought, he suggested that Wanli Gu Guang first do an internship for a period of time before deciding whether to serve as the Yuan Miko of Xitian Palace.

If an ordinary person made such an outrageous request, they would probably be driven out immediately. However, the one who made this request was Kusanagi Godou, a godslayer, and the Kuhozuka family had no way to say anything. They had to accept it and agreed to let Mariya Hikaru do an internship for a period of time and then let her decide whether to take on this responsibility.

Now that the decision has been made, of course they have to set off as soon as possible. Led by the guide sent by the Official History Compilation Committee, the two sisters Kusanagi Godou and Mariya, as well as Erica and Liliana who somehow got the relevant information, all came here.

Looking at the shrine called Xitian Palace in front of them, I'm afraid the group would never have imagined what kind of battle would take place next.

At this moment, Kusanagi Godou, who was completely unaware of all this, was still admiring the layout of the many buildings and the natural scenery near Saitengu Shrine.
