This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 94 The Book of the Golden Fairy

There's not much to say about moving research equipment, although there are quite a few large lathes and other similar items, which requires a lot of effort to move.

But with the support of his spiritual ocean, Ryuji said it was nothing!

Soon, the items were all moved.

Ryuji arranged the various devices in his personal space according to his needs and for aesthetic purposes before returning outside to switch back to Hong's body.

Ryuji thought for a moment and said in his mental ocean, "Kurenai, you don't need to stay at home anymore. You can come to Konoha and stay by my side from now on."

"Okay, I'll pack my things and come right away."

"Um!"

Long Er nodded, then stopped paying attention.

Hong is stronger than me, so there's nothing to worry about.

He took out another grand prize from the ten-year sign-in reward—"The Book of the Golden Fairy".

He didn't open it immediately, but instead started reading the system introduction.

【Book of the Golden Fairy】: A magic book manipulated by necromancy that allows souls to be reborn as golden fairies.

Origin: Humanity was ravaged and destroyed by an extraordinary beast.

Apart from the youth who awakened alone from centuries of slumber, only the "Holy Sword" and the fairy soldiers who wield it can defeat the "Beasts" in place of "humans."

After the battle, the "Holy Sword" can be used by others again, but the fairy soldiers who have used up all their strength will perish.

"Is this a magic book for creating happy girls?" Ryuji muttered as he flipped open the cover after seeing the familiar description.

—A detailed explanation of necromancy.

—The mystery of the Golden Fairy.

—The 36,000 challenges in creating a floating continental cluster.

—The glory protected by the Star God.

The table of contents showed four volumes, but because he had other things to do later, Ryuji didn't look at the details. He just skimmed through them and found that they were about necromancy, how to make golden fairies, how to build floating islands, and the doctrines of the Star God Guardians.

"It seems this is the handwritten notes of Master Black Candle." Ryuji closed the book.

Black Candle Lord was one of the three guardian deities of the Star God of that world. He collaborated with others to create the floating continental group and the Golden Fairy race.

"This is a pleasant surprise!"

Long Er put the book into his system space, and then washed up while thinking.

He has no intention of making the Golden Fairy.

There are three reasons.

One is demand.

The Golden Fairy Clan created this weapon to replace humans in using the Holy Sword.

There is no holy sword in this world that can only be used by humans, nor has humanity been wiped out, nor is there an enemy that only a holy sword can destroy.

Therefore, there is no need for the Golden Fairy Clan.

The second reason is the Golden Fairy's flaws.

The Golden Fairy race uses necromancy to control the souls of those who die young and reincarnate them.

However, this has a major flaw: past life memories can resurface over time. If these memories resurface, the personality in this life will be overwritten and disappear, leading to permanent death.

This was an unavoidable tragedy; it was only a matter of time.

Why do something that's destined to be a tragedy?

The third reason... this reason is actually similar to the first reason, it is also related to demand.

That is, the power of the Golden Fairy Clan did not reach the level that Ryuji expected.

Don't be fooled by how powerful the Happy Girl is, cleaving a floating continent in two with a single sword strike. That's because she's a reincarnation of a fragment of a Star God's soul; ordinary golden fairies aren't nearly that powerful.

The Naruto world doesn't have such amazing material for Ryuji to work with, so it's impossible for him to create such an awesome Golden Fairy.

Therefore, it's basically impossible for him to make this thing.

However, the method for creating floating continents might be of great help to him.

The mechanical city designed by Long Er... its flight capability is a device that consumes a lot of energy every moment. Without the support of the dragon vein, it is impossible for it to fly in the sky indefinitely.

The floating continent, however, remained suspended in the sky, seemingly consuming very little or no energy.

If we can understand the underlying principles, it will greatly improve the functionality of the mechanical city.

"I'll take a closer look when I get back." Ryuji hung the wrung-out towel on the rack, straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, and then went out.

……

"Too slow, kid!"

At a barbecue restaurant near the hospital, Tsunade angrily put down her wine glass and slammed her hand on the table, making it bounce up.

Long Er quickly steadied the cutlery in front of him, looking speechless. "Didn't I just treat you to a big meal to make up for it?"

He moved the research equipment and skimmed through the Book of the Golden Fairy... Although he tried to speed things up, he still delayed the 8 a.m. transaction until after 10 a.m.

Tsunade glanced at the nearly overflowing plates of grilled meat and even the expensive sake on the table, and her angry expression softened considerably. "Hmm, at least you've shown some sincerity. I won't pursue this matter with you this time."

As she spoke, she took out a scroll and handed it to her, saying, "This is what you wanted; it's all inside."

Ryuji also took out the scroll he had prepared in advance and exchanged it with her.

After exchanging scrolls, the two eagerly took out the documents and began to examine them.

Don't misunderstand.

Neither the research data on Yin Seal nor the data on neural connection technology can be fully recorded on a single scroll.

This is a sealed scroll; the information is recorded on many A4 sheets of paper and then stored inside.

Both were experts; they quickly checked the items to confirm their authenticity, then put them away and enjoyed their barbecue in peace.

Tsunade was almost always drinking, only occasionally picking up a slice or two of grilled meat and putting it in her mouth.

Ryuji ate his grilled meat silently, without drinking any alcohol.

It's not that he doesn't drink, or that he doesn't want to drink, but that he's a minor and the owner won't sell him alcohol, so he can only eat barbecue in peace.

Ryuji couldn't help but complain about this.

He became a ninja at the age of eight and started carrying out missions to kill people. After becoming a Jonin at the age of 15, he was actually not given alcohol because he was not old enough to be an adult.

The two didn't talk much at first, but Tsunade started talking more after drinking too much, asking all sorts of shameless questions.

For example, ask him if he has a girlfriend.

After receiving no answer, she began to mercilessly mock him for still being a virgin.

Ryuji just smiled and didn't say anything, taking it all as her drunken tantrum.

"Your attitude is really annoying!" Tsunade put down her wine glass, slumped her upper body on the table, and complained, "You're so young, yet so deep. You always have to take advantage of others, just like an old man."

The "old men" Tsunade was referring to were the high-ranking officials of Konoha.

Long Er understood.

He simply chuckled and made no comment.

but.

Looking at the woman slumped over the table, Long Er frowned slightly.

He just saw Tsunade's body rise and fall slightly, as if she was... sobbing?

It must be an illusion!

Although Tsunade has a vulnerable side, she is generally a strong woman and would never cry in front of strangers.

but.

Considering what he had just said, and the crystal necklace she had given him as a bargaining chip, it didn't seem so hard to understand why she was crying.

(It seems she really suffered a huge loss in this deal.) Ryuji sighed inwardly.

That necklace was of immense significance to Tsunade, far exceeding its intrinsic value.

That's why he was surprised when Tsunade brought this thing out as a bargaining chip.

Because, in his view, Tsunade would never use this thing for a transaction.

With so much content about the Golden Fairy described here, the protagonist will definitely have a change of heart later on.

His current inaction is merely a judgment based on the information at hand; he has no idea what will happen in the future.
