177 Chapter 5 Episode 35 [Castle of Gui Poison] Part 10




Once again, two shadows dance wildly through the office.
 The sound of steel hammering together and rough breathing wooded the room.
'Hmm. I don't know if you're still following me after opening the fifth chakra, Vishuddha... I don't know if you're still trying to open the Manipura or if you just want me to think that, but either way, it's really a big deal.
 It was a pure praise that came from the heart, which is rare for Count Salzberg, who is full of overtones.
 Basically, the difference between a fight between those who use Dharma techniques, especially martial arts, is the amount of raw qi, or prana, and the number of chakras released.
 If you compare it to a car, the raw air is the gasoline, and the chakra is like the engine.
 Naturally, the more engines you have, the more horsepower you have, and if you have plenty of gasoline, the longer you can run the car.
 Motorsports would say it's unfair and unjust, and it's nonsense to pick a fight with that much difference in the first place.
 Already, Count Salzberg had even opened up the Vishuddha Chakra that resided in his throat.
 Nevertheless, it was a marvel that Mikoshiba Ryoma was able to block the Count's sword.
''I sense a theoretical sophistication in your swordsmanship that is not present in the mercenaries you have beaten on the battlefield. I don't know what school you're from, but it looks like you were trained by a very good teacher and I envy you that. Do they all use such swordsmanship in the "Rears"? As I recall, you were born in a country called Japan...
 At those words, Ryoma couldn't help but smile bitterly.
 I don't intend to desperately hide my identity, but on the other hand, I really want to hide the information I can hide.
 There are two kinds of information: information that should be hidden and information that should be spread.
 That is a fundamental principle. It won't be any different on the earth world or the earth.
 Some information is known only to a small part of the government, while others are deliberately sent out to the whole world.
 To give specific examples, in the former case, confidential national security and diplomatic information, and in the latter case, advertisements for new product launches. 
 In either case, the important thing is to control the timing and scope of the information, depending on its nature.
 From that point of view, Mikoshiba Ryoma's information is of a nature that I would prefer to keep as secret as possible.
 In particular, the fact that he is from Japan is information that should be kept hidden.
 This is because, just like cooking, martial arts have a strong sense of history and climate.
 For example, the Brazilian traditional martial art of capoeira, which is mainly footwork, is said to have been influenced by the slavery era, when people's hands were chained together.
 Also, in Koryu Karate, there are techniques to use sticks and sickles instead of swords and spears as weapons, but it is said that this is because most of the people who practiced karate were not warriors, but mainly commoners who were banned from carrying weapons by the Ryukyu royal family. 
 Regardless of the truth of the matter, the fact remains that the martial arts are rooted in history and culture.
 No, the influence is not limited to the martial arts. This is because those who understand the philosophy and educational level of the martial arts are able to imagine it to some extent.
 I'm not sure how much influence it will have, but it will not work to Mikoshiba Ryoma's advantage to have his country of origin known.
 Even if this is a different world....
(Count Salzberg is a sadistic person with a strong sense of cruelty. And he is vain. If I have the upper hand, or if I have the upper hand...
 Identifying the source of the information is a must. In the worst case scenario, he would have to order the Igazakis to seal their mouths.
 Resisting the urge to cluck his tongue, Ryoma casually probed to Count Salzberg.
''You knew I was summoned from Japan, didn't you?
Of course I have. I looked into you, just as you looked into me. Just after you made the offer on the rock salt mine.
It's also ... but, well, I guess it's a natural thing to do.
 Confirming the identity of a business partner is a natural thing to do, and it's a natural thing to be done. But the problem is that Count Salzberg had that kind of crisis management awareness.
(This guy underestimated the Count a lot.......I didn't mean to underestimate him, but I thought he was more of a hot brain.
 Count Salzberg's behavior of being misogynistic and dirty with money must have clouded Liangzhen's eyes. Among the nobles of the Earth World that I've been involved with, the Count is more than enough of a first-class standard in areas other than warfare.
''Do you think so too, noble lord?''
Yes, if you know him and know yourself, you won't have to fight a hundred battles.
 Hearing Ryoma's words, Count Salzberg's face fell into a smile. 
I'm sure you've heard the saying, "I see...the proverbial "Rears". It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can't do the basics. It's really a sad thing........ 
 At the same time as those words, Count Salzberg's sword struck at Ryojin again.
