Xiao Bing's intuition told him that Iza Kawatani's departure must have something to do with Feng XIII. He remembered that he overheard Feng XIII talking on the phone last night, talking about a plan. Because the content was limited at that time, it was not easy to judge. But now it seemed that there were two possibilities.
The first possibility was that Iza Kawatani was deceived, and then he set a trap to kill Iza Kawatani. If this was the case, two conditions must be met. First, why did he want to kill Iza Kawatani? Second, according to Iza Kawatani's strength, did he have the ability to kill Iza Kawatani?
The second possibility was that Feng XIII's plan was to be carried out in the Kokyo, but because his master was in the Kokyo, it was difficult to carry out the plan. The only way was to trick his master into leaving the Kokyo.
Of course, it was also possible that Iza Kawatani really left to do something, and Xiao Bing thought too much.
Xiao Bing and Nami came to the Kokyo and were taken to the resting place of the Mikado by the maid. When they walked into the room, they saw the Mikado sitting on the sofa in pajamas, reading a book. When he saw Nami coming in, he immediately put down the book and said with a smile, "Nami, sit down. Are you here for your grandfather?"
"Yes." Nami pursed her lips and sat down close to the Mikado. She snorted and said, "Feng XIII bullied me. Grandpa didn't avenge me, but he also bullied me. He didn't tell me before he left. Grandpa, you have to help me."
The Mikado laughed and said, "You can't make trouble for Feng XIII in the future. He is your grandfather's apprentice, and he is likely to be the most important young master by your grandfather's side in the future. What's more, he has made great contributions to your grandfather. I'm afraid that his position in your grandfather's heart will soon catch up with yours."
Nami was surprised and said, "I'm my grandfather's granddaughter. What contributions did Feng XIII make?"
Xiao Bing was also very surprised. The Mikado glanced at Xiao Bing, as if he wanted to ask Xiao Bing to go out. But on second thought, he said, "Forget it. I heard that this matter is not a big secret outside. You all sit down and listen."
Xiao Bing did not hesitate to sit on the sofa. He sat up straight and listened to what the Mikado was going to say next.
The Mikado said, "Have you heard of the Heaven Spear?"
Both Xiao Bing and Nami were confused.
The Mikado sighed and said, "Nami is young and doesn't care about worldly affairs, so it's normal that she hasn't heard of it. Aoki Ichiro, you are an excellent samurai. It stands to reason that you should have heard of it. It can only show that you young people are too unwilling to take the initiative to understand the myths of our country. "
So it was related to myths!
Xiao Bing smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, I've been learning, practicing, challenging, and making progress all these years. I really don't pay much attention to the outside world. I don't know much about other aspects besides martial arts."
"Well, knowledge is also a part of martial arts. Although I don't know much about it and am not an expert, I know that Mr. Iza Kawatani often looks for secrets in calligraphy. So, you young people should not just practice martial arts every day, but also learn more about all aspects of life. It will also help you improve your martial arts."
"I've learned my lesson, Your Majesty."
The Mikado said, "The Heaven Spear is one of the legendary artifacts of Country R. It's even more powerful than the three legendary artifacts. You should all know that the Iza family is the most important family in Country R. The Iza family is respected, even more than the royal family in some aspects, because the name of the God of Creation of Country R is Iza Nagi. "
"Even the Amaterasu of our royal family was created by Iza Nagi."
"But you may not know that in the legend, the entire island of Country R is actually not fixed. Originally, the country under our feet was just a large piece of land floating on the sea every day, tossing and turning in the sea, which could capsize at any time. Later, Iza Nagi stirred the sea with a spear. When the spear was pulled out, the sea under our feet was all condensed, and then this country was finally fixed on the sea and became Country R."
Princess Nami was stunned. She asked, "Is there such a powerful spear in the world?"
The Mikado shook his head and said, "I don't know if there is such a spear. After all, it only exists in the legend. But in the legend, this spear does have a terrible power. It can guard this country and even destroy it easily. But I think the legend may not be completely credible. If this spear exists, even if it does not have such a terrible power, it must be very unusual and unimaginable."
Xiao Bing asked, "Did you find the whereabouts of this spear?"
The Mikado's eyes showed appreciation. He didn't expect that Nami could guess most of it just by listening to his words. No wonder this young man was favored by Nami.
The Mikado said, "This spear is called the Heaven Spear, also known as the Heavenly Marsh Spear."
"Feng XIII told the Great Patriarch that there is news of an artifact being unearthed somewhere. Now many top masters of Country R are going there, hoping to get the artifact. And Feng XIII just got the news. According to various signs, the artifact is likely to be the Heavenly Marsh Spear."
Xiao Bing said in surprise, "I didn't expect that there is really an artifact in this world … But since no one has found it yet, how did Feng XIII know it is the Heavenly Marsh Spear?"
"It is said that it is judged by the celestial phenomena. The Heavenly Marsh Spear has the power to split the sky and the earth. It can stir the chaos and make the world clear. It is said that there is a strange phenomenon in the local weather. The original haze was blown away by the wind, and the red sun appeared … Although this is only a judgment, after all, the Heaven Spear is the most powerful artifact in the Iza family. As the current heir of the Iza family, it is normal for the Great Patriarch to be very excited when he heard the news. No matter whether it is true or not, he has to see it for himself."
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right."
Although he said so, Xiao Bing vaguely felt that things were not as Feng XIII said. There must be a trap. If it was something else, it was very likely that Iza Kawatani would not so easily believe it. Even Xiao Bing himself did not think it was true. Iza Kawatani, who had lived for a hundred years, was more likely to see the flaws. But the Heaven Spear was the first artifact in the history of Country R, and it was also the artifact in the hands of the founder of the Iza family. As a person with the blood of the Iza family, it was normal for Iza Kawatani to be so excited.
So as long as there was a slight possibility, Iza Kawatani would definitely take a look. He was now a hundred years old, and it was beyond his control whether he could break through the immortality or not. But if he had the opportunity to see or even get the Heaven Spear in his life, and let this legendary artifact return to the hands of the Iza family, it was even more important for him to achieve immortality.
The Emperor sighed with emotion, "I really hope that this thing is true. If there is really an artifact unearthed, and if the Heaven Spear really exists and returns to the hands of the Iza family, it will be a great joy. It can be used to benefit the people. I believe that because of the existence of the artifact, the national power of Country R will definitely become stronger, and the deterrent power of the royal family will also be stronger."
Xiao Bing hurriedly said, "I will pray for the Emperor and the Great Patriarch."
"Well." The Emperor smiled and said, "Look, it's so late. I'm a little excited and can't sleep. But I can't waste your time. Go back and have an early rest. Nami, now that you know what's going on, you don't have to worry about your grandpa."
"Okay." Nami smiled happily, "Then Grandpa, you should also have an early rest. I won't disturb you."
"Okay, go ahead."
Xiao Bing got up and left the room with Nami. The moment they walked out, Xiao Bing vaguely saw a completely imperceptible haze in the Emperor's eyes.
Xiao Bing returned to the room, lay on the bed and began to think about this matter. In fact, Xiao Bing did not believe in the so-called artifact at all. It was very likely that someone was deliberately mystifying and spreading rumors everywhere. Even the person who spread the rumors might be Feng XIII, but he did not know his purpose for doing so.
But from the haze in the Emperor's eyes before he left, it could be seen that the Emperor of Country R did not trust the Iza family as much as he imagined. Although the Iza family was loyal to him, and Iza Kawatani had been loyal to two generations of Emperors, the Iza family was too powerful after all. The reason why the Emperor could get the loyalty of the entire Country R, and even become the spiritual leader of the Country R, was because the ancestor of the Emperor was the legendary Amaterasu. But the Amaterasu was created by Iza Nagi. From this point, it could be seen that the royal family would easily have a grudge against the Iza family if they were not particularly thoughtful.
This was only one of the reasons.
Secondly, no one could change the fact that the Emperor was the spiritual leader of the entire Country R. Although the Iza family had a higher status in terms of gods, the Iza family had always been low-key behind the royal family, which also led to the Iza family not becoming too much of a threat to the royal family. This was tolerable.
But if the Spear of Heaven was really as terrible as the legend said, Iza Kawatani was already the number one martial artist in Country R, was called the Martial God, lived in the Hall of Martial Gods, and was the leader of the group of royal elders. Then if Iza Kawatani obtained such a terrible artifact, even if Iza Kawatani was loyal, the Emperor would inevitably be suspicious. How could he rest assured?
It seemed that it would be fine if the artifact did not exist. If it did exist and was obtained by Iza Kawatani, this would be the moment when an irreparable rift would appear between him and the royal family.
