Chapter 111 Guarantee
Chapter 111 Guarantee
Seeing this, Tanjiro also shouted anxiously, "No, please don't hurt Nezuko, she won't hurt anyone!"
He saw that the other pillars looked at Nezuko's wooden box with unfriendly eyes and were very scared.
At this time, only Lu Li's tall figure could give him some sense of security. All other pillars seemed to be hostile to Nezuko.
Originally, Yinzhu wanted to speak up for him, but because of his serious injuries, his lord asked him to recuperate first, so he was unable to attend today's meeting.
"I have seen Tanjiro's sister. As he said, she has never eaten anyone and will not hurt anyone. In the battle at Nadayama last night, she fought bravely with the demons and protected many members of the Demon Slayer Corps."
Lu Li said, "The Sound Column can also testify, but unfortunately he is not here today."
"Huh? Do you know what you're talking about?"
The Wind Pillar was very angry. If he hadn't considered that his lord might show up at any time, he would have wanted to take action. "A ghost that won't hurt people? There is no such ghost in the world. Oh, I remember, you seem to have brought other ghosts here."
"Aren't you ready to hear what the lord has to say?"
Lu Li loosened his hand, and Feng Zhu staggered because of overexertion. "You can do it now, but I have promised Tanjiro that I will protect his sister. If you do it, you will be my enemy."
As the words fell, the calm aura on his body began to fluctuate. It no longer sounded like a deep pool, but a violent tsunami. The invisible momentum pressed down on Feng Zhu, causing Feng Zhu's breathing to become disordered for a moment.
boom--
The huge hammer fell to the ground with a dull sound.
It was the Rock Pillar Beimingyu Xingming who took action, with tears in his eyes, "Please don't argue in front of the lord. It is too sad for companions to fight each other."
The Rock Pillar has great prestige in the Demon Slayer Corps. When he heard the Rock Pillar speak, Uzui Kawaki loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword, but he did not continue to walk towards the box.
Because he felt that the new Sound Pillar was serious. If he continued, the other party would take action, and a fatal battle would be inevitable.
More importantly, the Rock Pillar's words woke him up. At this moment, a figure was walking towards the other end of the corridor. It was the lord.
The pillars present all knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads to show respect to their lord. Lu Li, the only one who did not move, stood out from the crowd.
Although the lord couldn't see it, he seemed to sense the strange atmosphere present, so he smiled and said that he didn't mind Lu Li's "overstepping his authority". "Half a year later, another meeting of the Pillars was held. Although Tianyuan was recovering from his injury and couldn't attend, I am very happy to see that you are all still intact."
It was also the first time that Lu Li saw the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps. Unlike in the anime, a truly disfigured person in reality looked very scary, but he did have a peculiar aura that made people subconsciously not hate him.
Moreover, the lord's voice is very special, with an indescribable feeling. After listening to it, the whole person feels light and relaxed, which makes people involuntarily develop a good impression of him.
Lu Li couldn't hold back his curiosity, and used his reconnaissance skills to take a look at his lord's attributes. His overall physical attributes were less than 5 points, and he had a lot of negative states of being sick. However, his lord's mental attributes were not low, at 25 points, and his charm attribute was an astonishing 40 points!
Lu Li couldn't help but touch his face. He felt that he had standard looks, but his charm attribute was only 6 points. Could it be that charm was not completely linked to appearance?
"I also heard the argument between Shimizu-kun and Riku-kun just now. I called everyone here today to explain a few things, including the matter of Tanjiro's sister, Nezuko."
The lord's voice was calm and gentle. When he spoke, all the pillars present lowered their eyebrows and no one interrupted.
"Regarding Nezuko, I have heard the details from Lu Jun and Tian Yuan Jun. She performed well in the battle with demons and is not a demon that is harmful to humans. This has been verified."
The lord said, "And Tanjiro's trainer, the previous Water Pillar Urokodaki Sakonji, and the current Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu, have already made a joint guarantee, so everyone can rest assured."
"My lord."
At this time, the Wind Pillar raised his head and said, "Excuse me, how can they ensure that Nezuko doesn't hurt anyone?"
Giyu Tomioka stood on the side, looking straight ahead, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him, and did not respond to Tanjiro's moved gaze.
"If Nezuko loses control and hurts someone in the future, the former and current Water Pillars will both commit seppuku to apologize."
The lord asked, "Is this guarantee strong?"
When these words were spoken, the pillars present were all very surprised, but they didn't know how to continue talking about Nezuko.
The two prestigious pillars offered guarantees, and if they continued to hold on, it would be too disrespectful, but they did not completely acknowledge Nezuko and Tanjiro in their hearts, so they would just have to wait and see.
After hearing what his lord said, Feng Zhu was still very dissatisfied, because he knew that it was difficult for ghosts to suppress their desire to eat people. Even his biological mother was no exception and killed all the children except him and his younger brother.
He wanted to demonstrate it to everyone using his own thin blood, and Nezuko couldn't help herself, but he sensed the threatening gaze of the Sound Pillar and had to give up.
"It seems that everyone has no objection to this matter. Then, I will talk about the second thing."
The lord smiled and said, "This matter is also related to ghosts. It was discovered and brought back by the Thunder Pillar in Asakusa."
As he said this, he turned around and said to the inside of the house, "Ms. Tamayo, please come out. There is no sun under the eaves right now."
Although everyone present had heard something about it before they came, they were still shocked to hear their lord say it himself, and they all looked at the door vigilantly.
The door opened and a beautiful woman in traditional kimono was kneeling there. She opened the door and bowed to everyone. "Nice to meet you. My name is Tamayo. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."
"Lord, you must not do this!"
"How can we cooperate with ghosts!?"
"It is really ill-considered to let a man-eating ghost enter the mansion. If this place is exposed, the lord will be in danger." "Let me eliminate this threat first!"
"My Lord, please stay away from her!"
The pillars present exclaimed when they saw Tamayo, and some even stood up and looked like they were about to take action.
The lord was not panicked. He asked his wife Tianyin to pull Tamayo's hand forward. He continued to introduce: "Ms. Tamayo's medical skills are very superb. She will help us develop medicine that can deal with Muzan Kibutsuji, which can increase our chances of winning."
"what?"
The irritable Wind Pillar was also diverted by this sentence, "Have we found the location of Muzan?"
"Can she really develop a drug to deal with Muzan?"
The Snake Pillar locked his eyes on Tamayo, his words filled with suspicion.
Others probably had the same two questions in their minds, so they looked at their lord, waiting for answers.
"Please be patient, I will answer you one by one."
The lord raised his hand to calm everyone down, "First of all, like Nezuko, Miss Tamayo has already gotten rid of Muzan Kibutsuji's control, so her actions cannot be known by Muzan, and will not expose our position."
"And the other Mr. Yushiro is a new demon that Miss Tamayo spent hundreds of years creating. He has nothing to do with Muzan."
The lord continued, "Secondly, Miss Tamayo is indeed a highly skilled doctor. She has been practicing medicine for hundreds of years and has saved many people, so there is no need to doubt her skills and position."
As he said this, he 'looked' towards the direction where Lu Li was, "Finally, this Miss Tamayo was found and brought back by Mingzhu. He made a guarantee to me, and the content is the same as before."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lu Li in surprise, not understanding how he could dare to make such a guarantee for a ghost he had only known for a few days.
It is understandable that Tomioka Giyu and Urokodaki Sakonji would guarantee Tanjiro and his sister. After all, they have known each other for many years and are from the same school. They have enough understanding of Tanjiro and his sister and have personal feelings for them, so they would make such a guarantee.
Are you so brave, Lu Li? If these two ghosts really eat people, what will you do?
"Mr. Lu..."
In addition to the pillars present, even Tamayo herself was surprised to hear her lord's words. She didn't expect Lu Li to use his life to guarantee her, and she was deeply moved.
At the same time, she also felt the trust that the Demon Slayer Corps leader had in her, because he agreed because of Lu Li's guarantee. You know, Lu Li is probably the strongest fighter in the Demon Slayer Corps now. If the lord doesn't believe that she is safe, he won't agree.
"Although words are pale and powerless, I still want to ask you to trust me first. I will do my best to research and make a medicine that can kill Muzan as soon as possible."
Tamayo bowed deeply to the pillars and said, "I, Tamayo, will never let down the trust of my lord and Mr. Lu."
The lord smiled and 'looked' in the direction of Kocho Shinobu, "Shinobu, I'll leave this matter to you."
Shinobu Kocho looked at Tamayo with hostility, but for the sake of her lord, she nodded and said, "I will work with Miss Tamayo to develop new drugs."
"My lord, have you found Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Seeing that the matter had been settled, the Rock Pillar asked, which was something that all the pillars were curious about.
The lord smiled and said, "This is the third thing I want to talk about today. Let's leave it to our new member, the Sound Pillar."
Hearing this, Lu Li stepped forward and stepped out of the line, "I found Muzan in Asakusa."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the pillars present were in an uproar. Even Tomioka Giyuu and Kasumi Pillar looked at Lu Li, staring at him, waiting for what to say next.
"Brother Lu discovered Muzan!? Did you fight him!?"
Tanjiro couldn't hold his temper and asked excitedly that the demon he wanted to kill the most was Muzan. If it weren't for Muzan, he and Nezuko's family should still be living happily in the mountains.
Lu Li shook his head. "I just saw him, but because there were too many civilians in Asakusa, I didn't act rashly. And through the intelligence analysis I got from the subsequent fight with Upper Five, Muzan probably has a city in another dimension where he can hide at any time. If we can't kill him with one strike, there's no way to deal with him."
Lu Li's words made Tamayo very surprised and scared. She didn't know Muzan was in Asakusa, such a close distance. When she practiced medicine in Asakusa in the past few years, she was really dancing on the edge of a knife.
"A city in another dimension?"
Hearing this, the Snake Pillar frowned and said, "I have also seen some blood demon arts that can control space, but they are all easy to crack. Are you saying that Muzan has an alternate space that is as large as a city and can enter and exit at any time and anywhere?"
They had no reason to doubt Lu Li's information. After all, Lu Li had killed two Upper Ranks and had met Muzan, so it was normal for him to know more.
This is the benefit brought by Lu Li's identity and reputation. He is already a pillar, and no one knows the details of the battle process, so what he says is what it is.
"Yes, let's call it the Infinite City. According to my guess, if Muzan is prepared, the city can open doors anywhere and pull people or ghosts in and out. It is a very troublesome ability."
Lu Li said, "If we can't find a way to restrict Muzan, or enter the Infinite City, we basically can't do anything to Muzan."
Because of the explorer, the original plot has been completely messed up. He can't think of a good way to kill Muzan now, so he wants to hear the ideas of the Nine Pillars and the lord.
