After working so hard, his attribute points didn't improve. In fact, Li Mo felt that his endurance was better than before.
——Is the improvement of attribute points the same as the improvement of life level? The required growth is incremental. This is how Li Mo understood it anyway.
The power of 18 points can be described as times that of 17 points.
"Silly bird, I remember that Makomo should be with Mr. Urokodaki during this period."
The members of the Demon Slayer Corps are not 007 overtime workers who have no rest time. It is true that this job often involves working day and night, but at least the rewards are rich. Li Mo has seen that a small number of members are motivated by the money they get from killing demons. Of course, vacations are indispensable, including the "pillars" who have their own rest time.
Li Mo often needs a reminder from the eagle to take a vacation. He spends a year killing monsters and leveling up. When he is on his way to his goal, he will kill ordinary swordsmen on the way. Everything is based on experience.
But in view of this, it seems that Li Mo's reputation among the team members has increased a lot.
The scenery around the narrow mist mountain was the same as always. It was still early when he arrived nearby, so Li Mo went up the mountain to hunt. It seemed that because he hadn't been here for a year, he felt that there were a lot more prey on the mountain. With a little effort, Li Mo caught almost the same number of pheasants.
"Is Mr. Urokodaki home? I'm here to visit."
The wooden house where Urokodaki Sakonji worked as a trainer was still the same. Li Mo shouted outside the house and went in, but when he took a step further, he was quite surprised.
There were two people in the room, but they were not Makomo and Urokodaki Sakonji as Li Mo had thought. They were two women.
One of the girls, naturally, was Makoto. She said, "Ah, Junior Brother is back? Mr. Urokodaki is out. If you want to find him, you'll have to wait for several days."
Li Mo did not answer Zhen Gu's question right away, his attention was focused on another girl. The reason why he used the word "girl" instead of "girl" was that the other person was a head taller than Zhen Gu.
"Why is Kanae-san here? I'm curious!"
Kocho Kanae is the daughter of a doctor. She was one of the first victims of Li Mo. With the help of Gyoumei, she and her sister were introduced to different trainers for their respective training. Until this year, the two sisters successfully passed the "final selection" and became one of the swordsmen.
Li Mo found a place to sit down in a familiar manner, right between Butterfly Kanae and Shinkomo. He looked at Butterfly Kanae with full of curiosity.
"Kanae-san and I met when we were completing a mission together. Since neither of us had any missions, we came here together," Shinkomo explained.
Kocho Kanae said, "That's right, but Miss Makomo is a little unaware. After completing the mission, I went to see the lord first, and then accepted Miss Makomo's invitation and came here."
"Hmm? Has Kanae-san met the lord? What kind of person is he?" asked Shinkomo.
"He was a very gentle person, and it was very pleasant to talk to him. It was like soaking in a hot spring."
Kocho Kanae and Shinkomo started communicating, completely ignoring Li Mo. He touched the back of his head, not caring at all, and immediately went to deal with his prey today.
Mr. Urokodaki is not here, but Makomo is here. The purpose of his hunting is to let Makomo cook such a meal.
The prey carcasses were processed outside, first boiling hot water and then plucking the hair. Li Mo was very skilled in the whole process, and after a while, the prey carcasses could not be seen clearly.
"What are you doing here?" Shinobu Kocho came to Li Mo, looked down at Li Mo who was dealing with the pheasant carcass and asked.
"Preparing today's ingredients. So you're here, Shinobu. Come, let me see if you've grown taller in this period of time?"
"I don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable when I hear you say this?" Shinobu Kocho said, "Two years have passed, and you are still the same as before?"
Li Mo washed his bloody hands, stood up and looked carefully at the little girl in front of him. Kocho Shinobu had grown taller than two years ago, but the growth was not obvious. She was still...
Before he could figure out what was going on in his mind, Kocho Ninja kicked his calf, "Hey, are you thinking about something weird?"
"To be honest, after two years, you are still as beautiful as ever, Shinobu."
Shinobu Kocho didn't care. She kept her hair short, dressed and behaved as masculine as possible. Beautiful? Was this word appropriate to describe herself?
My sister is the one who best suits the word "beautiful".
"High emotional intelligence? I won't ask what that means. Is there a low emotional intelligence?"
"If you want to be low EQ, then Shinobu, it's been two years and you haven't grown much... Wait, don't draw your sword, I'm talking about height! Height!"
Shinobu Kocho drew out her Nichirin Sword and slashed at the opponent, but Li Mo dodged it lightly, with an expression of trepidation and pleading for mercy on his face.
The expression is so real.
Shinobu Kocho could tell at a glance that Li Mo's expression was fake, so she retracted her words and complained, "Don't use your poor acting skills. I can't even hit you, what are you afraid of? By the way, why are you back? Don't you have a mission?"
"Just like you sisters, taking a vacation."
How come we all met on vacation this time? What a coincidence, we were able to get together when I wanted to leave, but it was a pity that Mr. Urokodaki was not there.
Later, we learned from Makomo that Mr. Urokodaki seemed to have gone out to look for swordsmen to train this year. After Giyu Tomioka and Santo successfully passed the "final selection", he had no more students.
Like swordsmen, a trainee is a busy profession.
With the elders away, the remaining few people of the same age - a ten-year age difference still makes them peers - can communicate without any scruples.
"Li-san, we will have more opportunities to meet in the future. My lord has ordered me to build a clinic for medical research, and the Butterfly House is going to be rebuilt."
During dinner in the evening, Kanae Kocho told this matter.
Li Mo asked: "What is the main research?"
"Well...it's mainly about studying ghosts. For example, how to turn ghosts back into humans." Kanae Kocho said with a smile.
Shinobu Kocho said, "I'm also in the Butterfly House, researching what kind of toxin can kill ghosts quickly."
Butterfly House, is that how it came about? Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "Well, it would be difficult to start from scratch, right?"
"No, actually I am accepting other people's research. It's just that this research has been stagnant for many years. The lord also asked me to cooperate with professionals." said Kanae Kocho.
Professional? Could it be Tamayo? It's possible. I've been working with Tamayo for a year. It's normal to call up Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu. Their father is a doctor and a pharmacist. The two sisters have received their father's biology education since they were young. They are rare talents.
Butterfly Chanae put down her bowl and chopsticks for the moment, held her chin with both hands, and looked at Li Mo tenderly under the light of the fire, "Li Sang, what about you? What are you going to do next?"
"Probably going to the Tokyo area. The Flame Pillar's wife is not feeling well, so he has to go back." Li Mo said while eating the meat in the soup pot in front of him.
He knew about this a week or two ago. After this vacation, he will go to Tokyo without stopping to take over as the Flame Pillar.
Zhengu knocked on the bowl and said expressionlessly: "It's time to eat now, don't discuss this matter."
Butterfly Kanae blinked, as if she had discovered something interesting, and said happily, "Ah? Is Shinkomo-san angry?"
"What is Kanae-san talking about?"
"Is not it?"
Although Shinkomo is a little older than Kocho Kanae, Kocho Kanae is more like an older sister and completely suppresses Shinkomo.
Kocho Shinobu whispered beside her, "Really? My sister is here again."
Li Mo ate meat and looked at the butterfly Kanae.
Isn't she pink? Why does she look a bit sinister?
Chapter 54: Communication under the Moonlight (Part 1)
As the night wore on, the dark world was illuminated by the tiny lights of the moon and stars. Although Li Mo knew that the stars in the sky were planets billions of light years away, he always forgot this fact.
The three girls were talking in the room, while Li Mo was sitting on the roof alone, looking into the distance. The world under the moonlight was so peaceful. If you look closely, the night is not all bad, at least the scenery is beautiful.
It would be great if there were no ghosts. Imagine the dark nights in the future, when lights are on and there is always something to do when walking outside at night. In this era, people can only lock their houses tightly at night to create a sense of security and prevent ghost attacks.
——But in reality, locking the house tightly is useless. Ghosts can usually break in through the door.
"Thinking about something?"
"It's true, what are you doing up here?"
"The sisters are whispering to each other, why should I stay there?" Zhen Gu came to the roof, sat next to Li Mo, and looked at the same scenery.
Li Mo said, "Oh, you and I were kicked out together! Great, I have someone to keep me company."
"Is that appropriate?" Zhen Gu asked with a straight face.
"Would you please pity me?"
Zhengu looked as if he knew it, "A year has passed, and you haven't changed much."
"Do I have to change after becoming a pillar? Sorry, I, Li Mo, am just this kind of person." Li Mo said.
Position determines the head, this is a wise saying, but there are often heads that betray their own butts. He is not one of these two people. He has always regarded himself as a "time traveler", "pillar", and the uncle of Tanjiro Kamado... These identities are secondary.
Then why don't you leave?
The return button has been hanging there for a year, and he has not touched it. The main reason is that it is too fun to level up by killing monsters in this world, and you can just kill ghosts with your eyes closed. However, the experience points provided by ordinary ghosts have been getting less and less recently.
"Mo, do you still remember the previous lower string?"
"I remember. What's wrong? Its blood vampire magic is pretty annoying, and its spatial ability is just so disgusting. Speaking of which, after I got out of there, I was wondering what would happen if I just burned his house down? Can ghosts be burned to death?"
Ghosts will not die even if they are struck by swords or knives. Even if they are torn apart by five horses, they can still maintain their vital signs. So the question is, can they be resurrected after being thrown into a fire and burned to ashes?
The expansion of thinking brings all kinds of ideas. Li Mo is eager to try it out and feels that he can give it a try.
“There are predecessors who have done this kind of thing, and ghosts can be burned to ashes. But the effect is too slow, you need to…” Zhen Gu began to explain the past events to Li Mo.
The ghosts' terrifying recovery ability determines that they can persist in the flames for a very long time, and they can also rush out of the flames. You must restrain them, otherwise you will see a fire man running around. A senior once caught a powerful ghost and threw him into the flames, but the ghost did not really die until the sun came out during the day, struggling for a whole night.
If this is the case with average-level ghosts, what about truly powerful ghosts? It would be better to just chop off their necks with the Nichirin Sword.
Chicken ribs.
"Then burning the house at that time should at least make that person's blood vampire magic ineffective. Even the house is gone, what else can it replace?"
"What if it causes a forest fire? It's been so long since the incident, are you still brooding over it?"
Li Mo nodded, "Of course, I haven't encountered any blood vampire magic in this aspect of space in this year. It's normal to remember rare things, right?"
The blood magic of demons is varied, some can strengthen the body, some can have spatial abilities, some can control ice...all kinds of fancy magic seem like they have awakened superpowers.
"Yes, yes, yes... Um, what is the last quarter of the twelve demon moons on Mount Nada Spider? Why did you think there would be twelve demon moons on Mount Nada Spider at that time?"
Makomo still remembers that his junior fellow student became a "Pillar" after he went to Nada Spider Mountain alone.
She was very surprised at that time. She was surprised that there really were Twelve Demon Moons on the Tianzhu Mountain, and she was surprised that her junior brother became a "Pillar" so quickly. At that time, she still wanted to catch up with him?
Now?
There's no way to catch up.
Makomo, who is currently a "B" rank soldier, stumbled and hugged his legs, listening to the man next to him talking.
"That Tian Gumo Mountain. I remember it was the Lower Six. Anyway, its strength is just so-so. The point is that there are nearly ten demons on the mountain, and they say it's a family. The twelve demon moons are playing house. Well, it's quite strange."
Li Mo couldn't comment on tiredness, nor did he want to comment. Its life was miserable, but after becoming a ghost and starting to eat people, no matter how miserable its experience was, it couldn't cover up its sins. If it wanted to find warmth, it should go to hell and see if its dead family members were willing to accept it. Want to be forgiven? Then go to hell and ask the victims if they are willing to forgive.
"play house?"
"Yes. It's the one of the Twelve Ghost Moons who adopted a group of ghosts as his brothers, sisters and even parents." Li Mo gave a detailed introduction to Lei's family situation. He is very unique among ghosts.
Zhengu listened to Li Mo's explanation, but her mind was not on it. Her attention was all on the key word "home". "Mo, why did you join the Demon Slayer Corps?"
