Chapter 501 - 270: Ogiwara Family’s Big Task, Water Dungeon Dilemma_1
[An enormous boundary envelops the grand castle tower before you, you hold the Boundary Token in your hands, under the watchful eyes of a line of samurai as you cross through the boundary, entering the bottom level of the Castle Tower...]
[Before your eyes are maze-like, intricately connected corridors with countless rooms, the comings and goings of numerous maidservants, with elite warriors keeping guard at each turn of the corridor...]
[As far as you know, after the assassination of the lord in broad daylight, he has been resting and recuperating in his sleeping quarters situated deep within this floor.]
[Following your memory, you arrive at the deepest part of the Castle Tower. The samurais along the way, although they see you, do not bow in respect. They hold the hilts of the swords tightly around their waists, maintaining a stance of strict guard.]
[These samurai guards are trained since young as suicide soldiers, displaying fanatical loyalty towards their lord. Even if ordered to commit suicide on the spot, these suicide soldiers will execute the command without hesitation.]
[At the end of the corridor lies the lord’s sleeping quarters, guarded by a giant man in front of the sliding door.]
[The giant’s enormous form nearly occupies the entire hallway, blocking the sliding door tightly. Under his thick layer of fat, one can faintly see large lumps of muscles on his mountain-like body.]
[In his hand, he holds a heavy Tachi, blocking your path to the sleeping quarters.]
[You’ve encountered the ’Fire Worshiping Ogiwara Family’s Chief Servant’!]
[You look at the Tachi held across your path, and recall his identity...]
[He is the lord’s most trusted retainer, the personal guard of all his family members.]
