181 "Swordsmith Village"

Even the Demon Slayer Squad, which has an extraordinary intelligence network, cannot know what happened in Mugen City.

The space where Infinite City is located cannot be discovered or entered by even the Eagle Crow, so naturally it is impossible to obtain any useful information.

But the Demon Slayer Squad's intelligence network still discovered that since the headquarters was attacked by multiple ghosts, the ghosts' actions began to become unpredictable.

Some of them disappeared mysteriously, some became extremely active, and some seemed to have other purposes. They no longer just guarded one place to eat people, but moved from place to place, and some even entered They were in a state of killing each other, causing quite a bit of chaos.

Especially the Twelve Ghost Moons. Now that the lower string has been disbanded and two more upper strings have been subjugated, their behavior seems to have become extremely uncontrollable. They are no longer just ghost hunters who are simply looking for food and killing the Demon Slayers. As for the action, Yuan suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly in various towns and cities, and his whereabouts and purpose became a complete mystery.

After the top leaders of the Demon Slayer Squad learned the news, they all entered a state of vigilance.

The ghost's unusual behavior told them that everything Li Ge said might really be coming.

Demon Dance Tsuji Mumei is about to launch an action, and the decisive battle between the ghosts and the Demon Slayer Squad will be completely triggered soon.

This made the pillars all enter a state of high vigilance and began to tighten the strings in their hearts. When several impatient pillars thought that they might have to fight to the death with the strings in the near future, or even face Muzan Kibutsuji directly, they couldn't wait to improve. strength.

Zebing, He Dao and the pillars of the Transparent World know that these three abilities exist. What they are most eager to do now is to let themselves possess them.

Only by awakening these three abilities can they have a chance of winning against the Oni no Tsuji and the Oni Wutsuji Muzan. Even if some unruly Hashira don't want to admit it, since they can become stronger, they will naturally do the same. There is no reason to refuse.

Unfortunately, the new head coach "Ji Guoyuanyi" did not directly train them.

Because the Demon Slayer Corps is moving its headquarters, they have collectively moved into the Swordsmith Village.

This task is not easy to complete, not only because the location of the Bladesmith Village is secretive and the route is complicated, but also because there are too many people. It is really not that simple to move them all to the Bladesmith Village.

It is impossible to train on the road, so the first priority is to help the headquarters move, and other matters will be postponed for the time being.

For this reason, the pillars were broken up and assigned to lead a group of people to the Bladesmith Village according to the designated route.

Li Ge, together with the Uyashiki clan, was the first group of people to migrate and was the first to arrive in the hometown of swordsmiths.

"Is this the swordsmith village?"

When arriving at the Bladesmith Village, Li Ge looked around the entire village.

It really is a village.

Most of the buildings here are wooden houses, neither big nor small, and look very simple.

There are watchtowers built around it, and there seem to be members of the Demon Slayer Corps stationed on the watchtower for a long time, which shows how much the Demon Slayer Corps attaches great importance to the Bladesmith Village.

The village is surrounded by mountains and forests. It can be said that it is surrounded by forests on all sides. If you want to enter here, you can't do it without passing through the trails in the forest.

In the air of this village, there seemed to be a faint smell of iron and the burning smell of fire, which made Li Ge feel like when he entered Orario's industrial area to look for Chun's workshop.

There seemed to be a small population in the village, but without exception, they all wore a fire man's mask to show their identity as sword forgers.

The person who seemed to be the village chief brought a large number of people from the swordsmith village to receive the Demon Slayer Squad, and greeted them respectfully.

Conversed with Uyashiki Yōya.

"Welcome to the Bladesmith Village, my lord."

The village chief of the Bladesmith Village is called Tiechi Kawara Jintetsu. This name once made Li Ge hesitate to speak.

Tetsuchi Kawara Jintetsu himself is an old man with a short stature. Although he cannot tell his specific age due to the fire man mask he is wearing, it can be seen from the attitude of the swordsmiths around him towards him. There is no doubt that he is a highly respected elder in the swordsmith village.

In the swordsmith village, the village chief seems to have the best skills and the strongest sword forging skills. Many pillars in the Demon Slayer Squad wanted to ask him to forge swords for them, but only a few succeeded. This shows the high status of the village chief.

However, when facing Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad, the village chief lowered his head and paid his respects to Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.

"Keep your head up."

Ubuya Shiki Yōya's physical condition has become very bad recently. He has been coughing for a while, and there are rot-like marks on his face and body that disfigured him. Now he can't even walk without someone to support him. Motionless.

Taking into account the lord's physical condition, Yoya Shiki was carried all the way here by the hidden people in a wooden sedan chair. Now he is still sitting on the wooden frame, unable to get down.

Even so, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya still spoke to the village chief with a gentle expression.

"I'm troubling you this time, cough..."

Hearing Uyashiki Yōya cough, the village chief spoke up quickly.

"It's okay. The Swordsmith Village and the Demon Slayer Corps are originally one. We are very happy that you can move here."

This is true.

There is no exclusive atmosphere in the Bladesmith Village, and even because of their long-term dealings with the Demon Slayer Squad, both parties have a high degree of acceptance of each other, and their tacit understanding is not low.

Swordsmiths forge swords for Demon Slayer swordsmen. This act itself will establish a trusting relationship between the two parties. Therefore, the swordsmith village welcomes the arrival of Demon Slayer, not to mention that this time it is the entire Demon Slayer. The headquarters of the team has made the intensity of guarding the Bladesmith Village unprecedentedly high.

After the village chief heard that the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps had been attacked by ghosts, he felt a lot of crisis. He was worried that the location of the swordsmith village would be exposed and it would be attacked by ghosts. Especially recently, the actions of ghosts have become abnormal. , which made him deeply worried, worried that something would happen to the swordsmith village, and the skills of the swordsmithing clan would be cut off from inheritance.

Now that the Demon Slayer Squad is here and has moved its headquarters here, the village chief naturally welcomes them.

"This is the new head coach of the Demon Slayer Corps, Isn't it Jikunoyunichi?"

The village chief greeted Li Ge, who was standing aside and seemed to be a bit maverick.

They were well-informed and already knew that the Demon Slayer Corps had a new position of head coach, with a status equal to that of the leader.

In other words, the opponent also has a high position in the Demon Slayer Corps, has the highest level of dispatching power over the Demon Slayer Corps, and can freely dispatch even the pillars. There is no doubt that he is a big shot.

The person in charge was also a powerful swordsman who saved the Demon Slayer Squad and defeated the Demon Slayer in this attack, which makes it even more convincing.

Therefore, the village chief greeted Rige with the same treatment he had given Uyashiki Yaoya.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just going with the flow."

Li Ge didn't care much about this kind of thing.

To be honest, he doesn't really have any interest in being the head teacher. He only stays with the Demon Slayer Team based on the help provided by the other party during the training period, based on kindness, and based on wanting to use the remaining time to kill ghosts. See I didn't refuse Ubuyashiki Yōya's invitation to see if there was a chance to accumulate high-level experience points.

Anyway, as long as Onimbutsuji Mukai dies, the ghosts will disappear, the reason for the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps will also disappear, and they will be disbanded soon.

Therefore, whether he stays in the Demon Slayer Corps or not has basically no impact on Li Ge.

Of course, there are still benefits.

The intelligence network of the Demon Slayer Squad is not weak. With this intelligence network, I can at least get some information about ghosts.

During this period, he can train Zhu and help them unlock the ability of the three-piece set. This can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the Demon Slayer Corps and making some amends for them. Apart from this, Li Ge has no intention of taking on any responsibilities as a head coach. , to take charge of the affairs of the entire Demon Slayer Squad.

In view of this, Li Ge actually did not recognize the position of chief teacher, but regarded himself as a guest and a consultant.

Ubuyashiki Yōya was obviously aware of this, but he didn't care. He just smiled gently.

The village chief originally wanted to be polite, but when he lowered his head, he suddenly noticed the knife on Li Ge's waist.

"Oh oh..."

The village chief suddenly spoke as if his eyes were shining.

"That knife..."

The village chief's suddenly excited voice made the surrounding knife forgers also notice Li Ge's knife.

At that moment, many skilled knife forgers discovered the clues.

"Hey, isn't that knife a bit special?"

"You can smell a very amazing smell."

"It's the taste of ultra-high quality iron that cannot be matched even if it's been tempered for thousands of times!"

"The forging material of that knife is absolutely extraordinary!"

The swordsmiths wearing Fire Man masks suddenly became excited.

"Can you let me see your knife? Chief Instructor!"

The village chief also came to Li Ge eagerly with a fanatical attitude and made a request.

"It doesn't matter if I show it to you." Li Ge frowned and said, "It's just that you can only look at this knife and not touch it."

With that said, Li Ge took off the hermit worn around his waist and handed it into the hands of the village chief.

"What a craftsmanship..."

The village chief did not look at the sword at the first moment. Instead, he stroked the hermit's scabbard and let out a trembling admiration, "Since there is no trace of being forged by human hands at all, it is like a piece of raw iron." It looks like it was born into a scabbard, it’s amazing!”

"Who forged this scabbard? Could it be a god? Or heaven and earth itself?"

"This quality...this natural and completely integrated appearance...magical...!"

The village chief, who was so full of praise, stretched out his hand and directly grasped the handle of the knife without thinking.

"Don't!"

When Li Ge saw this, he quickly stopped him.

But it was too late to speak out at this time.

"laugh……!"

The village chief's hand was burned by the high temperature when he touched the handle of the knife.
