Civilization Guardian Front

"Sorry to disturb... Inuchiyo is here to bring guests to meet His Highness the Princess."

In less than half an hour, Chios, led by a girl with a small surname who called herself Inuchiyo, walked into the palace evaluation room.

The moment all the retainers present saw Chios, almost all of them held their breath...

"Well~" Only Niwa Chohide observed everyone's reactions with great interest.

Chios was still wearing the clothes of the European-style privateer captain. Knowing Nobuna's interest in Nanban, no one asked Chios to change his clothes, but his suede boots were repeatedly polished black by his servants before he was allowed to step on it. palace.

The Japanese in this world are not only about 1.4 meters tall like Chios in the history of the world.The average stature of men is about 1.6 meters, and women are a little shorter, basically falling between 1.5 meters and [-] meters.

With a height of 1.8 meters [-], Chios is quite tall in the eyes of Japanese who are generally not tall. Fortunately, he has not exceeded the aesthetic category.The well-fitting dark blue coat allowed people to clearly appreciate his tall figure, which was neither thin nor too strong.

The handsome facial features are as if carved by the most outstanding craftsman, combining the gentleness and delicacy of the oriental people with the deep and handsome westerners.The purple eyes are not sharp, but restrained and gentle.

In a word, the charm value of the attribute evaluation is 19, which is really not watered down...

The whole Imperial Palace was very quiet, and a needle could be heard falling.Chios was somewhat uncomfortable, being treated as some kind of exotic beast by a group of people.What's more, this situation has never stopped since he went ashore to meet the first Japanese.

Chios glanced across the entire Royal Palace, more than [-]% of the warriors were women, and a very small number of men seemed to be of low status, which completely subverted his worldview.

I can't help but sigh in my heart: It really is a world full of fantasy...

After all, for those who have read novels, anime and other works, Chios will not say that the current situation is very surprising.On second thought, a world dominated by women might be more beneficial to him.

"My Viscount of the Spanish Empire, Chios Felino Ronaldo, has met Her Majesty the Princess."

Chios introduced himself by kneeling on one knee according to the European aristocratic etiquette.However, he uses Japanese, which he learned without a teacher not long ago.

"Ah, cough cough!" Shinna realized that he had lost his composure.Quickly coughed twice to bring the situation under control.

"Qios...Fei, Feilunu...Lanlu, huh?" Xinnai couldn't understand anything except Chios' name, and she also knew that she hadn't pronounced the other person's name well. A blush stained her porcelain cheeks.

"His Royal Highness, just call me Chios." Chios smiled brightly at Nobuna, dazzled all the women present.

It was the first time that Nobuna, who was always proud of the highest purpose of dressing conveniently and uniquely, regretted what she was wearing.

Should have dressed more decently, Nobuna's heart is full of regret at this moment...

This kind of emotion can only be buried deep in her heart, and she still maintains a calm look on the surface, although she has betrayed her thoughts by quietly correcting her indecent sitting posture.

"Okay then, I'll call you Chios. I'm Owari Daimyo, Oda Kami Sosuke Nobuna, and Kami Sosuke is my official position." Nobuna put his hands on his chest and introduced himself.

"I'm curious, what made you, a southern… Gentile, come to Owari?"

Nobuna almost used the word "Nanman", but thinking that Chios can speak Japanese well, such a word was somewhat inappropriate, so he immediately changed his words.

"The reason..." Chios' face changed slightly, and he said sadly:

"My...father died in a shipwreck four months ago, and the Imperial Navy blamed the loss on his negligence. As the heir, I must repay this debt..."

Chios slowly narrated the background in his memory after a little modification.

"After I collected enough funds, I came to Japan with an almost desperate idea, hoping to earn enough compensation in Sakai Port. However, I was ambushed by pirates in the waters near the Kinki area. With the number of our crew, it was originally There is a chance to win. When my ship raised the flag to inform the escort ships that there were pirates, the two escort ships turned around and left without a moment's hesitation, leaving me alone to face more than 150 pirates... "

Chios paused for a moment when he said this, but everyone present was already attracted by the twists and turns of the plot. Of course, they hoped to continue listening. There was a sense of urging between the expressions, and Katsuie Shibata couldn't help but asked directly:

"And then? Southern barbarians, have you defeated them?"

"So rude to a distinguished guest, Six!"

Nobuna glared at Katsuie Shibata, and Katsuie, who was so excited that he was about to stand up, immediately lowered his head.

"very sorry..."

"It's nothing, Mr. Singer is just outspoken." Chios shook his head lightly to show that he didn't mind at all.

"The group of pirates had no interest in the two fleeing ships, and did not even send a fast boat to pursue them. Fifteen pirate fast boats surrounded us, and hooks were constantly thrown on board. Although my men fought bravely, three The gap in the number of people more than [-] times was still irreparable, and almost all the crew members were killed. Finally, I ignited the black powder in the ammunition depot and blew up the entire ship together with the pirates on the deck. I myself fell into the sea and barely passed out. .Find an unmanned pirate clipper in the sea, row along the current to Owari, and was rescued by the people of His Royal Highness Nobuna."

Chios quietly glanced at Niwa Nagahide, seeing that she was also immersed in the story without interrupting, so he added in an emotional tone:

"This is also the guidance of fate, send me to the presence of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"What are you talking about? Fate...fate or something..."

Oda Nobuna, who was dressed strangely and never cared about the worldly eyes, was flustered like an ordinary girl at the moment. From the neck to the ears, her cute face seemed to be emitting steam.

When she heard Chios' story, she originally intended to comfort her, but she didn't expect to hear such a shy speech.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Chios asked with a puzzled expression.

"Lord Chios, teasing girls should be done in moderation, forty minutes." Niwa Chohide patted his palm with a folding fan in his hand, not forgetting the habit of scoring at the end of the sentence.

"What? How dare you tease Your Highness the Princess, watch me chop you up!" Shibata Katsuie's pretty face was full of murderous looks, he stood up abruptly, and drew out the sword at his waist to cut someone down.

"Stop it, six! Don't you think I'm not in your eyes when you draw your sword in the Royal Palace!"

Nobuna stopped drinking, and Sheng Jia immediately drew his sword and pleaded guilty:

"I'm very sorry, Your Highness, I..."

"Okay, isn't it normal for you to want to kill people? I'm used to it." Nobuna interrupted Singer, turned his head, looked at Chios with a cold face, and said:

"Honestly, was what you just said a joke?"

Although Nobuna has a serious face, but careful observation can still detect the subtle tension and expectation in her tone, the vanity of the girl is also very scary...

The element of teasing naturally exists, but Chios cannot admit it.

Sitting upright according to Japanese etiquette, Chios replied seriously:

"It's not a lie to say it's fate. I have no direction in the sea. I happened to come to Owari, and was recommended to meet Her Royal Highness. So many coincidences, it's not an exaggeration to call it fate?"

Oh~~Many samurai girls in the Royal Palace made voices with unknown meanings.

Nobuna blushed slightly, poking the tatami with her fingers a little uneasy.

"Since you said fate and fate led you to Owari, and your ship and cargo have sunk into the sea, and you have no money, it is useless to go to Sakai Port, am I right?"

Chios nodded slightly, and replied:

"It's true. After my ship sank, the original plan was completely bankrupt. Even if the European ships were found and returned to Europe, they would most likely have to face the subsequent conspiracy of the Imperial Navy."

"In that case..." Nobuna stretched out his hand and pointed at Chios, and said imposingly:

"You will be mine!"

Chapter 5? The Test of Katsuya Shibata

"You will be mine!"

Everyone in the Royal Palace froze at this moment.

"Oh, that's really bold, Your Highness, 95 points." Niwa Chohide opened the folding fan to hide his sniggering.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! Are you serious?" Katsuie Shibata's eyes widened, and his voice raised several steps unconsciously.

Couldn't this world be more serious... Chios didn't know what to say. When fantasy turned into reality, it seemed to bring some troubles.

Nobuna finally realized how misunderstood his words were, and Nobuna, who burst into shame at the sight of his retainers, raised the iron cannon in his hand.

jump!

There was a pitch-black bullet hole on the wall of the palace, and the guards outside the door thought there was an assassin, so they rushed in.

"I'm fine, you guys go out!" Nobuna Tetsuo pointed at the guards who rushed into the palace.

"Don't get me wrong, I just...asked Chios if he meant to play for my Oda family! That's all!"

Everyone looked at the smoking iron cannon in Nobuna's hand, and remained silent unanimously.

The scene was a bit embarrassing, but Chios took the lead in correcting his posture and bowed slightly, saying seriously:

"Your Highness, if you don't give up, please allow me Chios Felino Ronaldo to serve in the Oda family."

"Decided so soon? Don't you think about it for a while?"

Nobuna also corrected his posture, and asked the question very seriously, with a bit of majesty in his eyes, showing the demeanor of his daimyo.

"This is the result of careful consideration. Starting today, I, Chios, will abandon the past. In this troubled world, help Her Royal Highness benefit the people and achieve hegemony!"

"Well, I have received this decision." Nobuna nodded solemnly, and her eyes, which were ahead of the times, looked directly at Chios' purple eyes.

"Since you have decided to become an official in my Oda family, it is also the lord's responsibility to understand your size and talent. Chios, tell me what you are good at?"

(The highlight is coming...) Chios could feel that the first turning point of the plot finally appeared before his eyes.

Compared with the hero who can save the beauty with a rash decision, relying on the knowledge of high school students, he can guide the strategies of ancient celebrities.During the two days that Chios entered the mission world, he either desperately saved himself, or racked his brains to find ways to attract the attention of the head of the Oda family.

He clearly understands that what he is facing is the wheel of plot and fate, and now, he is about to pry off the first screw on the track of fate.

If you want to be one step ahead of the protagonist, how strong is the resistance to occupying a place in the Oda family?Chios needs to use this method to test the correction power of the mission world to the plot, so that he can make plans for the next plan.Whether the main task is completed or not is related to his life. He will never hold an overly optimistic attitude and foolishly bump into it to die.

With a confident smile on his face, Chios replied:

"Returning to Your Royal Highness, I have a little confidence in my martial arts. I am very skilled in swordsmanship, archery, and horsemanship. At the same time, I also know a lot about the products you call Nanban. Although I can't make iron cannons for you, I can sell them at a low price. It’s okay to buy Nanman goods. If it’s about strategy, I think His Highness Xinnai will naturally make a judgment on this after a period of time.”

"Well, I understand, but in terms of martial arts, I hope to see it with my own eyes, how about it?"

Nobuna asked with a normal expression, but in fact, she was already eager to dance in her heart.The point of "buying southern barbarian things at a low price" already made Xinnai very excited. She bought an iron cannon through a merchant for [-] guan, if it can be reduced to [-] guan or even [-] guan... How many iron cannons to buy!Maybe forming an army of iron cannons is no longer a dream.

It's just that Chios said he was good at martial arts, and it would be too rude for Nobuna to ignore this and directly send him to buy iron cannons.

Mission reward: Merit +30, excellent level weapon x1

Tip: The strength of Shibata Katsuya is estimated to be about 20 points based on data, please be cautious.

---------------

Glancing at the mission prompt, Chios looked calm and silently remembered the content of the prompt in his heart.

The number one general of the Oda family is definitely the strongest opponent Chios has ever seen.However, this is also in line with his expectations.

"Of course." Chios replied.

"Okay, let me, the number one general of the Oda family, Katsuie Shibata test your martial arts, okay, six?" Nobuna turned his head to look at the general girl.

"I wish for it, my hands were itchy when I heard the story just now!" Sheng Jia's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Very good!" Nobuna looked at Chios, and suddenly realized that the other party didn't have any weapons on him.

(It would be too troublesome to order someone to get it from the knife armory, so let me lend my knife.) Nobuna thought to himself, reaching out to take out his favorite knife from his waist to press Hasebe.

"If... If you don't mind, please use my sword! Chi-Chios-sama." A samurai girl approaching Chios blushed and offered her saber with both hands.

(Who? Actually took the lead!)

Nobuna looked over with resentful eyes, but the samurai girl was unaware of her master's cannibalistic gaze, her shy face was lowered, and she didn't dare to look at Chios.

"Thank you... May I know who you are?" Chios took the knife from the girl's hand somewhat unexpectedly, and sized her up a little.

Wearing a cherry-colored yukata, her smooth black hair was tied behind her head with a ribbon, her round face was flushed with shyness, and her bright green eyes seemed to be covered with mist.If it wasn't for the saber on her body, it wouldn't make people think that she was a samurai at all.

"Yes, here I am, Ikeda Hengxing." Ikeda Hengxing was so nervous that he almost bit his tongue.

"It turned out to be Mr. Ikeda Hengxing. I will remember this kindness."

"Yeah, Master Chios, please use it as you like, it doesn't matter if you break it..." Ikeda Hengxing's voice became smaller and smaller, and he probably found himself the focus of everyone's attention.

stare~~~

The teasing, envious, and jealous eyes of her colleagues were fixed on Ikeda Hengxing as if they were real, and she could only bow her head shyly.

"Ahem, now that we have the knife, I think it's time to start!" Nobuna coughed.

Although he really wanted to join the "Silence" crusade against Hengxing, but as the protagonist, Nobuna had to show his tolerance.

"Come on! Chios, let me Shibata Katsuie see your bravery!"

Singer pulled out his knife with a swipe.

As soon as the sword was unsheathed, the atmosphere in the Royal Palace became solemn, and everyone focused on the two people in the center, not letting go of any subtle movements.

Chios closed his eyes and reached out to touch the ring on his chest. All complicated thoughts were thrown away in this short ritual action.

Opening their eyes again, everyone in the hall could feel the strong fighting intent released from those clear purple eyes, as sharp as a knife.

When Chios stood up, he was a head taller than Shibata Katsuie, who was nearly 1.7 meters tall. However, the pressure brought by the height seemed to be non-existent on Shibata Katsuie, and the general girl's eyes did not change at all.

The knife borrowed from Ikeda Hengxing was slowly pulled out, the blade was polished brightly, and the blade was sharp enough to cut through the armor. The cold light reflected in Chios' eyes, which made him feel a little excited.
