The Demon Slayer Corps has its own intelligence network. I guess Mr. Urokodaki will use this intelligence network.
While he was waiting for the news, he was also waiting for the arrival of the Sun Blade.
Time passed slowly, during which Li Mo was still training Xuantu. The 13-year-old boy was full of energy and challenged him every day, but unfortunately he was always defeated by Li Mo with one hand. In the face of the huge gap in strength, Xuantu's challenge was commendable.
——Xiantu hasn’t even started training on blowing the gourd.
At the same time, Li Mo maintained correspondence with Kocho Kanae, and the frequency of communication between the two was a little higher than that with Kocho Shinobu. Mainly communicating with the latter, the grumpy little sister said in the letter, don't waste your time and so on.
But from Kanae Kocho, I can tell that Shinobu Kocho is looking forward to her letter.
"A grumpy, conflicted little girl."
In front of him, Kocho Shinobu is really a little girl. This year, even Kocho Kanae is only thirteen years old. Judging from the age, Makomo is a few years older than Kanae. Not to mention Shinobu who is only ten years old.
"Now that I think about it, I really don't know how old Zhen Gu is this year." Li Mo put down the pen in his hand and thought about this.
He only knew that Zhen Komo was younger than him, but he didn't know her exact age. And Zhen Komo's height was hard to describe. Half a year had passed, and Santo and Tomioka Giyu had both surpassed Zhen Komo in height. Li Mo felt that she would not grow any more.
"Hey, Li Mo. Are you thinking of something disrespectful?"
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Shinkomo said, "I am more concerned about your reaction. Forget it... come here quickly, the swordsmith who delivered the Nichirin sword is here."
More than ten days had passed since the "Final Selection", and it was almost time for the Sun Blade to be completed.
He followed Zhen Gu out and heard the sound of bells from outside. When he came out of the house, he saw two strange people approaching from a distance.
One of them was wearing a bamboo hat with wind chimes hanging from it, which was where the sound of the bells came from. His hat was pulled down so low that his face could not be seen clearly.
The other one was not wearing a hat, revealing his short black hair. But he was wearing a mask on his face, and from a distance, the mask looked so ugly.
Both of them were carrying something on their backs, something wrapped in white cloth, shaped like a long box. If you have ever seen Western musical instruments, you would think that this might be a box for storing expensive instruments.
Li Mo guessed that the shape could hold the Sun Blade.
"I am Tetsunamori, the one who forged and brought you the sword of Urokodaki Makomo." These are the words spoken by the man without the hat.
"I am Gangtzuka, the one who forged and brought Li Mo's sword." These are the words spoken by the man wearing the bamboo hat.
Li Mo and Zhen Gu looked at each other and went forward. Then, they suffered verbal torture.
The raw material of the Sun Blade is iron that can absorb sunlight and is made from "Gorilla Scarlet Iron Sand" and "Gorilla Scarlet Ore" collected from the mountains closest to the sun.
This was the conclusion reached by the two forgers. They explained the origin of the Sun Blade to the people in front of them.
"I don't understand what you're saying... it's useless."
The swordsmith with the ugly mask didn't care about Li Mo's complaints at all, and continued to explain the story of the Sun Blade. It seemed that he would not talk about business until he finished this story.
Li Mo still felt that the other party was bragging about himself. Look, the Sun Wheel Sword requires such a complicated process. If I can achieve this level, then I am a very strong swordsmith.
Kotsuka, the swordsmith of his own Nichirin sword, seems a bit self-centered. He seems like someone who is immersed in his own world.
In short, it means not listening to others.
In comparison, the swordsmith who made the Nichirin Sword for Makomo looked much more reliable. Although the mask on his face was also ugly, at least his personality was more normal. Noticing the awkward atmosphere, he spoke up to help, "The Nichirin Sword can also be called a color-changing sword. Everyone will change color when they pick up the Nichirin Sword."
At this time, the scene of the meeting changed to the house. Tiexuesen put down the wooden box on his back, opened it and saw that there was a knife inside.
Kotetsuka stopped mumbling about his own things and did the same thing, taking out the Sun Blade he had crafted.
"Please try it and see what color it is." Tiexuesen said gently.
Shinkomo pulled out the Nichirin Sword from its scabbard. When she held the sword with both hands, the color of the sword changed under the light. The sea blue color was now covering the blade.
"The bright sky blue is such a pleasing color." Tiexuesen said with praise.
Makomo said, "It's the same blue as the mask that Urokodaki-san gave me to ward off evil."
She took off the disaster-repelling mask on her head and compared the pattern on it with the color of the Sun Blade.
The same.
"You should try it." Gangtiezu looked at Li Mo.
"Don't worry."
Li Mo picked up the Sun Blade and immediately drew it out of the scabbard. The first time he saw the blade, he felt that this blade was much better than the Sun Blade he had used on Fuji Mountain. It was as if it was born to him.
then……
In his mind, the familiar sound of electricity sounded at this time. Then, he heard a "ding" sound, like the prompt sound of the downloader downloading the file. Immediately, a light screen that only Li Mo could see appeared in front of him.
"Scene: Demon Slayer... Shizu..."
"Quest to clear: Join Demon Slayer... sizzle... obtain unique... Nichirin Sword... sizzle... complete)"
"It's... a mission. Return... sizzle &*... settle the task and gain... experience and extra rewards."
"whether."
At this moment, Li Mo's expression and even his movements became dull, as if time had been paused at this moment.
How strange, how terrifying! Is the sun rising from the west?
Even the system that I usually have to check with the water surface actually popped up at this time to remind me that I have completed the task? Oh my god! Did I see a ghost?
I can't explain my current mood in words. Once upon a time, Li Mo racked his brains to think about how to leave this world and return to the previous world. Although, in that modern world, I am still an outsider. But... those tall buildings, mobile phones and computers always give people a familiar feeling. But in the world of the Meiji era, it is so strange.
Later, Li Mo gradually became a Buddhist. He moved towards his goal and thought carefully. His original goal was to return.
Only now does this broken system provide a way for me to go back.
but……
Could you be a little late? Damn.
"Hey, hey, why are you standing still? Do you despise the knife I gave you?!"
Seeing the person in front of him not moving, Tietuozuka's tone became unhappy. If Tiexuesen hadn't held him back, he would have rushed forward.
"No, I am very satisfied with this Nichirin Sword."
This voice brought Li Mo back to reality. He closed the system interface with his mind, and a scarlet color was reflected in his eyes.
His Sun Blade.
It is scarlet red.
Chapter 38 Leaving the Mission
The messenger crow can also be called the 鎹鸦. Li Mo likes to call it the messenger crow. Who would remember such a troublesome name before someone introduces it to them? How about calling it a crow? It is pitch black, maybe it is a kind of crow?
After becoming a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, in addition to the standard Nichirin Sword and team uniform, the Crow Blade also becomes one of the three-piece set of the Demon Slayer Corps.
After Li Mo showed the red color of the Sun Blade, Kotsuzuka's dissatisfaction completely disappeared. He focused his eyes on the Sun Blade and praised it: "What a beautiful color!"
But along with it came the pitch-black crows.
The long-time lazy crow appeared in front of Li Mo and Zhen Gu. It opened its mouth and spoke in a strangled voice, ignoring the presence of other people, "Swordsman Li Mo, Nanfang Town, hunting ghosts."
Cherish words like gold.
That's right, the crows that the Demon Slayer Corps equips its members with can all talk. Li Mo's crows are not speechless sparrows... Actually, sparrows are not bad either, since sparrows and crows are close relatives anyway!
"It looks like I have to pack up and go out alone." Li Mo pronounced the word "alone" clearly. Zhen Gu's Crow has not appeared here yet. If the two of them are on the same mission, Crow should appear at the same time.
It can't be that my crow flies faster.
Facts have proved that Li Mo's conjecture is correct.
Zhen Gu's Crow came late, and compared to Li Mo's Crow, who was aloof and frugal, this Crow was much more normal. It probably described that people in a southern town kept disappearing, and it was speculated that there were ghosts.
"It looks like I have to go with you." Zhen Gu said to Li Mo.
"Let's go together." Li Mo said.
After saying goodbye to Urokodaki Sakonji and thanking the swordsmith for his efforts, they both packed up and left.
I can't say goodbye to Tomioka Giyu and Santo in person. I can only ask Mr. Urokodaki to tell the two children that I'm leaving. It's a pity that I can't say goodbye in person, but considering how Santo behaved when he left last time and participated in the "final selection".
It’s better to leave early.
"It's amazing! Birds like crows actually have personalities. How strange." Li Mo teased the crow on his shoulder.
In fact, through communication, Li Mo discovered that his crow was not frugal with words, but flew too fast to speak.
I have to say that my crow is really unique.
"Oh."
"Don't be so cold. Let's chat. It's a long walk to get there anyway."
According to the distance given by Zhen Gu Xi Ya, even if he didn't eat, drink, or rest, it would take him a whole day to get there. It was obviously irrational to do so.
Zhen Gu ignored Li Mo. She took off the mask hanging on her head and put it on her face.
It was obvious that he didn't want to communicate with me. Did I make him angry again? That didn't make sense. Could it be that he was thinking about something and was interrupted by me?
This is quite possible. When I think of the time when my thoughts were interrupted, I was very angry, but my mind told me not to be angry.
Think of something else.
Now the option of going back is in front of him, but Li Mo did not choose to go back immediately. It was mainly because he had just arrived in that world for a few days and did not have much sense of belonging. Yukinoshita-san is very cute, but Makomo is no worse than her, and there is also the older sister type Kocho Kanae. If that doesn't work... there is also Kocho Shinobu who has a promising future.
Well, the last unnecessary one, Li Mo himself didn’t want to go to the police station to eat pork chop rice.
Of course, one of the main reasons why Li Mo chose to stay was that, let's call it the main world, it was a peaceful and stable world, there were no monsters for Li Mo to fight. On the contrary, there were so many demons in Demon Slayer, and he could level up by fighting them.
Wouldn't it be nice to level up a few more times and see how things turn out?
As for the speed of time, we'll see when the time comes. Maybe I've been missing there for a long time?
I don't know when the system will be repaired to allow me to know this information.
By now, the system was almost repaired. As for what the system repair was related to? He was not sure. Was it related to his life level? Was it related to the passage of time? Anyway, it was a good thing that it was repaired.
"silent……"
Just as Li Mo was immersed in his own personal world, trying to convince himself, Zhen Gu next to him called his name.
"What's wrong? Zhen Gu, are you afraid of the mission? This is your first actual combat, not like playing house on Teng Xi Mountain. Don't worry, I will be in front." Li Mo said.
"No, it's not. I just want to say... forget it."
