Nidhogg Can't Keep Up

"I am the head of the bodyguard of the Sato family, and I am jealous of my soul. Are you a distinguished guest of Lord Yoshikiyo?"

"Your guest? Is that what he said?" Ned Hogg raised his eyebrows when he heard Soul's demonic question.

Before Soul Yaoji could speak, a person stood outside the door and answered for him:

"Exactly, Your Excellency Nidhogg." The kind old man stepped into the house and said, "I hope to make a deal with Your Excellency."

"What deal?" Ned Hogg was very interested.

That's why he saved himself.

"I will provide you with a place to recuperate and your daily necessities, and after you recover from your injuries...as the guard of the inner courtyard..."

"My lord! You can't do it at this time..." Hearing these words, Hun Yaoji, who had been watching quietly, suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Yoji, I understand what you mean." Waving his hand to stop the young man from continuing, Sato Yoshiki let out a long sigh, "But my time is running out... Yuyuko must have enough strength to protect him Okay. Otherwise, the prying eyes caused by her existence... are not just human beings."

Hun Huo Yaoji remained silent, but clenched his fists tightly, the veins like horned dragons protruding from the back of his hands.

"Your Excellency should understand my request now." The eyes of the old man and the young man met in the air.But to his disappointment... the young man's gaze was still so indifferent, the deep pupils seemed to absorb all the light and shadow, it was simply an abyss.

"That's right." Ned Hogg admitted bluntly.The two of them spoke so bluntly that only an idiot could not understand. Yoshiki Sato just wanted to stir up a conversation.Even if Nid Hogg answered or didn't answer, the result would not change.

"Then, are you willing to be the guard? As for that cherry tree..." Sato Yoshiki glanced at Saigyu Yao with complicated eyes, "I don't think there is any need to worry."

"The demon tree that feeds on flesh and blood, what are the onmyojis in Heianjing doing?" Ned Hogg knew that the Onmyoji in Heianjing was quite strong in this era.

"The reason is very simple. The tree was sealed, and they couldn't detect the overly weakened evil spirit." Sato Yoshiki said with a Buddha's name, "The taboo seal built with human life and energy can't last long. .And you, as a powerful inhuman, shouldn't be in the way."

"How do you judge? Just rely on this injury?"

"Bones." Yoshiki Sato looked at him with a half-smile, "There are not so many bones."

"..." Ned Hogg was silent.From the outside, he is undoubtedly a pure human being, even if he is a dark knight, his hair color will be a little weird.But as long as the body is checked, the abnormal body structure is easy to reveal.

Humans don't have thousands of bones. . .

This also sounded the alarm for him. If he went to a copy of the modern world in the future and was found out by the hospital, he would be in big trouble.

"In this case, it makes sense for the guards to be half-human and half-spirit. Human beings cannot withstand the erosion of death energy, but half-human, half-spirit holding half of the soul body does not have this problem. Therefore, the new guards must also be able to withstand the erosion of death energy." You have to be angry, right?"

"What Chengsi said." The two looked at each other for a long time, and then laughed out loud at the same time, which confused Soul Yaoji beside him.

He only understood that his identity was exposed, but he didn't understand why they suddenly laughed.

"what are you guys saying?"

"Sakura of Death, half-human, half-spirit, the human pillar connected with Sakura of Death... Interesting." The corners of Nid Hogg's mouth were slightly raised, and he was in a good mood.

"I agree! I'll spend ten years guarding everything in this courtyard, whether it's people or the cherry tree. I'm curious, what is it that you want to protect, and it's worth it." He stared into Yoshiki Sato's eyes, who was smiling broadly.

Ever since Yoshiki Sato was burdened with the seal of the demon tree, it was the first time for Soul Yaoji to see his best friend smiling so happily, as if he had lifted all the burdens and felt relaxed.

"Your Excellency Nid Hogg is also a wonderful person, so... say what you say."

"A four-horse is hard to catch!" Ned Hogg propped up his body and said resolutely.

……

Eight years later, the inner courtyard of Xixing Temple.

The character in the game who manipulated the witch, fired the dream seal to kill the last piece of Fengzhu's blood, and Ned Hogg showed a sad expression of "they are all hot chickens! How lonely~".

"Hey~ I won again. This scumbag Xiao Chenxing dared to challenge me on the battle platform. It's too bad. But the feeling of playing Feixiangruru in the eastern world is really amazing. Do you want to start the game with three hundred teasers from the system network? ?” The breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers blew, and a few pink and white petals fell on his shoulders, and Nid Hogg raised his head subconsciously.

Creaking creaking... Soul Yaoji, who was wearing wooden clogs, walked in front of him.

"You're playing with your weird box again." After choosing a seat to sit down, he sat side by side with Ned Hogg, looking at the westbound demon in the courtyard.

"Yo! Brother Yaoji, do you want to play King of Fighters? I allow you to choose Big Snake~" With a hearty smile, he turned off Feixiangtianrui.Even though the characters used are neither Soul Yomu nor Saigōji Yuyuko, Nidhogg still doesn't want Soul Yoji to know about the "future".

Mainly I'm too lazy to explain. . .

"Forget it, I'm still not used to your toy." Hun Soul Yaoji shook his head, rejecting the invitation to seek abuse.After all, Nid Hogg has always had the bad habit of "cutting without injury to show friendship", just like the bad guy who was typing in front of the computer.

I have to admit that sometimes it is difficult for a rookie to beat a veteran even if he knows the trick table and is fast enough.Games also depend on talent. Fighting action games are more about grasping the timing, and... the combos born from the brain hole that breaks through the sky.

"Tsk, it's boring." Just like a Sichuan opera changing face, the hearty smile immediately turned into a look of disgust.

I stuffed the widescreen laptop into the rippling golden ripples, took out two vermilion-gold wine plates and a jug of wine, filled the wine plates in my hand, took a sip, and said, "Why are you here? "

Soul Yaoji unceremoniously picked up the jug, filled another wine dish, and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's time to sharpen your sword skills as promised."

"Well, are you bothering me just to find abuse?" Ned Hogg stared at the deep black cherry blossom tree as he drank the remaining wine in a gulp.

"I have realized something recently, and I want to confirm it with you." The condensed gaze was like a sharp blade, and a few cherry blossoms happened to be blown by the wind. When they were two feet away from Yaoji, they were suddenly cut evenly in two from the middle. Half, the incision is smooth, and it falls to the ground leisurely.

"Sword of thought..." Nid Hogg put down the wine plate in his hand, got up and stretched out his right hand, and the long knife with white handle and blue sheath appeared inch by inch. "If it's a little interesting, I'll play with you."

...

Soul Yaoji and Ned Hogg walked towards the flat open space.

The two people who stood still were silent... A few petals floated by, and immediately collapsed into pieces when they entered the space between them.

Soul Yaoji rested his hands on the hilt of his sword, while Nidhogg just stood casually.
