Chapter 68: Su Nuo Descends the Mountain
How can a corrupt feudal era be revitalized? Su Nuo's idea was to first go to big cities and promote his ideas to the nobles. Nobles are generally highly educated and will surely recognize the progressiveness of his ideas.
Thus, the nobles accepted Sukuna and his ideas, which became Sukuna's stepping stone to reach the Emperor. As long as the Emperor did not want to become a tyrant who would be cursed by later generations, he would definitely promote Sukuna's ideas. In this way, how far away would the road from feudalism to democracy be?
However, the more beautiful the imagination, the crueler the reality. After Su Nuo descended the mountain, the first problem she faced was:
"Where exactly are these so-called big cities?"
This problem stumped Su Nuo, leaving him completely baffled. Fortunately, on his way down the mountain, he spotted a village at the foot of the mountain.
It was a small village standing beside a river. Outside the village were several rice paddies, where villagers were working in the fields with their sleeves rolled up, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene.
"Perhaps we could ask them..."
Su Nuo murmured to himself as he walked toward the village. To avoid startling the villagers, he tried to put on a friendly smile before heading toward the village entrance.
Sukuna, who had lived on the mountaintop for over ten years, forgot that the four-eyed, four-armed creature, selectively ignored by Hebi, Lilith, and Amelia, was a complete anomaly to the villagers below.
The first village woman to see him turned deathly pale, and her scream echoed throughout the village. This sound alerted more villagers to Su Nuo, and panic began to spread.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I just want to ask for directions."
Su Nuo stood still, making soothing gestures with all four hands, but the villagers grabbed their farm tools and surrounded him, muttering things like "monster" and "ghost."
Su Nuo attempted to explain:
"I'm not a monster. The reason I look like this is because I was born with multiple limbs. To put it simply, when I was in my mother's womb, I absorbed my brothers who weren't fully developed yet. It's just a medical condition..."
However, after Su Nuo said these words, the villagers' fear of Su Nuo did not diminish at all. They even took hoes and went forward to try to drive Su Nuo away.
Su Nuo then realized that talking about congenital deformities to these villagers who couldn't read a single word was like casting pearls before swine.
To prevent the villagers from taking any more extreme actions, Su Nuo had no choice but to give up asking for directions and leave.
Looking back, Su Nuo noticed that the villagers had erected a scarecrow at the village entrance to ward off evil spirits. He felt somewhat helpless. If the scarecrow was effective, what was the point of his more than ten years of studying magic techniques?
Su Nu shook his head slightly, then thought of his situation. He couldn't just wander aimlessly without knowing the location of the big city.
So Sukuna looked eastward and decided to head in that direction until she found a city...
In this direction, a convoy of dozens of people was traveling westward. The guards were all fully armored, with swords at their waists, and their bodies were filled with magical energy.
This is a caravan of sorcerers. Among the carriages they escorted was the eldest daughter of the Fujiwara clan, a genius sorcerer named Man, who was only ten years old and already proficient in using construction techniques.
At this moment, young Wan, dressed in elaborate aristocratic attire, her brightly colored clothes almost completely obscuring her body except for her head, drew back the curtains and gazed at the hazy sky outside, utterly bored.
"I really don't understand why my father would make me come to a shrine in a place like this? Can there really be a true god in such a small place?"
As soon as Wan spoke, the guard beside the carriage seemed to have heard something utterly treasonous, and hurriedly came to the carriage window to say:
"Miss, although you have left the Fujiwara clan, you must still be careful with your words and actions. If you offend the gods, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Wan was completely unconcerned. As a genius mage who had mastered construction techniques, she wasn't so easily intimidated. She said:
"Don't even mention gods. Even if there are monsters here, I can kill them all by myself. I'm not a child. Don't try to scare me with this kind of thing."
Hearing this, the guards were helpless against Wan. Although Wan's words were somewhat extreme, she certainly had the right to be arrogant...
The procession continued westward as usual, but at some point, the birdsong and cicada chirping in the surrounding trees disappeared, and the sounds of flowing water and wind ceased.
Because their attention was focused on Wan, the guards did not notice the abnormality in the environment at first, until... two figures walking side by side appeared on the convoy's only route.
The two figures were exceptionally tall and thin, dressed in loose blue and white robes, with an exaggerated katana at their waists.
The guard squinted, and the figures of the two became clearer. He saw that their black hair was fluttering in the wind, and their pale faces wore exaggerated expressions, with round eyes and protruding fangs, looking both sad and happy.
"It's a monster?!"
The guards were startled, their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly called for the convoy to turn around and retreat in the opposite direction.
However, it seemed that from the moment the cicadas stopped chirping, a barrier formed by the cursed power released by the monsters enveloped the group of people in the caravan. No matter how the group retreated, the two tall and thin figures continued to approach.
Closer, closer.
As the two evil spirits drew ever closer, the guards realized that running away would be pointless. The best way to break the barrier was to kill the two evil spirits blocking their way.
"Don't run away! Protect the young lady!"
As the guard said this, he channeled his magical power to enhance his physical abilities, then drew his katana from his waist and faced the two evil spirits directly.
And the evil spirit? It merely revealed a sinister smile, its figure flickered, and vanished from the spot.
The guard's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly looked around for any trace of the evil spirit. However, before he could find it, a chilling cutting sound rang in his ears, followed by a dizzying sensation.
In a daze, the guard saw his body sliced in two. He was completely bewildered, having no idea what had just happened.
"What's going on? Why is my body... I'm already dead?"
After a while, the guards realized that they had been killed by the evil spirits. As for the other guards, they were powerless to resist the evil spirits' attacks and were beheaded or cut in half at the waist in a single move.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage was split open with a loud crash, and a scream rang out.
The sound jolted the guard's nerves, making him struggle to get up and protect her, but he had already been cut in half at the waist, so what could he do?
Even as his consciousness faded, the guard's mind was filled with thoughts of:
"Someone, please save Miss... Anyone will do, please come and save Miss..."
With two crisp "swish" sounds, Wan's screams came to an abrupt halt. Was it a divine intervention? Or had Wan already been killed by two evil spirits?
neither.
In the distance, Su Nuo, a being with four eyes and four arms, walked towards them. Upon seeing the tragic scene, he unhesitatingly threw out two [solutions] at the two murderous demons.
