Looking Forward to Another World

Near the town, in another deep mountain forest.

"Is this okay?"

Li Ge appeared here, holding a freshly baked scabbard in his hand.

It was a scabbard that was completely black and coated with a layer of resin, just like Li Ge's Nichirin Sword.

This is the result of Li Ge running around in the mountains for nearly two hours.

In order to create a scabbard that could accommodate the Hermit, Li Ge used magic to decompose, extract, and smelt several types of resin. Finally, he refined an organic material that is very resistant to high temperatures. He also found a way to synthesize a material similar to tungsten. of high-density iron, combined with the two, to finally create this scabbard.

"Click..."

Li Ge put the hermit, which was always in his hand and emitted heat all the time, into the scabbard, letting the scabbard make a slight sound.

The hermit's blade is neither too long nor too short, and is just enough to be completely stored in the scabbard, leaving only the handle outside.

"very good."

Li Ge showed a satisfied smile.

This feeling of creating your own weapon with one hand is indeed different from the feeling of simply receiving a weapon made for you from Chun's hand.

"Now that the weapons matter is settled, and the evolution of the breathing method has been completed exactly as originally envisioned, what I want to do in this world can basically be considered over, right?"

If there is any regret, it is not being able to upgrade.

Before dimensional travel, Li Ge planned to achieve great achievements in this world that were enough to upgrade him to Level 6.

But it is a pity that this world is not a world with a large number of monsters to fight against like the world of Dicuo. The number of ghosts is rare, and their power is not very strong.

In the eyes of people in this world, existences like the Ghost of the Wind are already very terrifying enemies, but in Li Ge's eyes, even at Lv. 4, he could be wiped out in a flash before he evolved the breathing method, let alone What now?

Even the legendary Ghost King and one of the top stringers whose strength is one level higher than the other top strings are probably around Lv. 5. Although they are at the same level as Li Ge, how can an ordinary Lv. 5 be Li Ge's opponent now? ?

If he simply wanted an opponent, he might be barely satisfied, but what Li Ge wanted was an enemy who could achieve great things.

What kind of enemy can lead to greatness?

An enemy stronger than yourself!

Therefore, Li Ge felt that he might not be able to achieve greatness in this world, so he rose to Level 6.

In this way, what Li Ge wants to do in this world is basically over.

The ability value has reached the upper limit, and the potential and growth of the current level have been exhausted. Now, apart from upgrading, there is really no way for Li Ge to make any decent progress.

Under such circumstances, Li Ge still has nearly three months to complete this dimensional travel, so the next thing he can do is probably just kill time.

"Practice swordsmanship and magic in your free time, and that might improve your "Swordsman" and "Magician" by one or two levels. "

"Also, I should be able to expect a wave of ghost kings, right?"

"The ghost king who has lived for a thousand years is much stronger than the one on the string, and the one on the string should be Lv. 5, so can I expect the ghost king to be Lv. 6?"

"But even if it's Level 6, it probably won't be able to bring me great achievements now."

"what should I do?"

Li Ge hung the knife on his waist and walked on the mountain road, thinking about it little by little.

Until a certain moment, Li Ge suddenly stopped.

He frowned, looked in one direction, and then put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, as if he was ready to draw the knife and strike.

"Please wait a moment."

Just before Li Ge was about to draw his sword, a voice rang.

"We don't mean any harm."

This is a female voice that sounds very young, but has an elegant, mature and charming tone.

With the sound of this beautiful female voice, two people appeared without any warning in the direction that Li Ge was looking.

It was a combination of a man and a woman.

The man was a well-groomed and upright young man, like a boy from a rich family. His hair was neatly combed, but his face looked a bit fierce, giving him the impression that he had a bad temper and was not easy to mess with.

The woman is a very beautiful woman with black hair combed into a large and low bun. Her complexion is very pale but her lips are very red. She is wearing a dark purple dress decorated with wavy lavender branches and red flowers. Kimono, with a beige wide obi tied around her waist, she also looks like a rich girl.

The first impression given by this combination of a man and a woman is that of a pair of siblings, with the older sister standing in front and the younger brother standing one step behind, obviously the former is dominant.

It was just such a pair of siblings who appeared in front of Li Ge as if they suddenly appeared from space.

Looking at these two people, Li Ge's eyes moved without trace.

He had already recognized the identities of these two people.

"I've met Jiguo Yuanyi's family."

The woman bowed and saluted Li Ge.

"...I didn't expect to be discovered before he showed up."

The young man beside him did not salute, but instead showed an unhappy expression and muttered.

Li Ge glanced at the other person and said calmly: "The ability to block other people's sight and create illusions is rare, but unfortunately, it is useless in the "world" I see now."

"whispering sound."

The young man was speechless and his attitude was quite bad.

"Yushiro, don't be rude."

The beautiful woman suddenly frowned and scolded the boy next to her.

"Yes! Miss Juyo!"

The boy named Yushiro immediately changed his bad attitude and became obedient.

Li Ge let go of his hand on the handle of the knife and looked at the two people in front of him with interest.

No, these two are not human either.

"Are you ghosts?"

That's right, the combination of a man and a woman in front of him is definitely not a human being, but a ghost.

The ability to obscure vision and create illusions just now was the ghost's vampire technique.

"Sorry to visit you in this way."

The woman named Zhu Shi lowered her head to Li Ge again.

"Please forgive me. After all, this is near the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps. If we reveal our presence casually, it may cause many unnecessary misunderstandings. That's why we came here in this way."

These words are quite sincere and make people feel like they trust the other party.

Of course, it would be impossible for any other ghost hunter to trust him.

The other party is a ghost, a man-eating monster. Everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps hates him extremely. Except for people like Tanjiro who have special experiences and are kind-hearted, it is estimated that no one will trust him because of his tone of voice. .

If Li Ge didn't know the origins of these two ghosts, then he might be the same.

"So, Miss Ghost, you came to the Demon Slayer Headquarters in this way just to see me?"

Li Ge said this.

As soon as the other party appeared on the scene, she revealed Li Ge's pseudonym in the World Newspaper, so it was obvious that she was here for him.

As for the other party being able to find him and find the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Squad, Li Ge was not surprised.

After all, he knew that although the woman in front of him who looked like a rich lady was a ghost, she was hostile to the Ghost King and a friend of the Ubuyashiki family.

The other party will know about his existence, probably because of this.

When Li Ge was thinking this, he heard Zhu Shi say this.

"I am indeed here to see you, the Tsukuni Enichi family." Zhuyo looked at Li Ge and said: "After learning about your existence from Tanjiro, I really couldn't sleep or eat well, and finally made up my mind. I want to come and see you."

"From Tanjiro?" Li Ge was surprised.

Isn't it from Ubuyashiki?

"Yes." Zhuyo nodded and explained: "Tanjiro and I are old acquaintances and have been keeping in touch with each other. He mentioned you in the last letter he sent, saying that you are a person who can relax easily. The powerful swordsman who slayed the swordsman spoke highly of you."

"I see." Li Ge expressed his understanding, then changed his tone and said, "But you didn't come here because you were curious about me because I killed Shangxian, right?"

"...There are also reasons for this." Zhu Shi was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "I have been looking for someone who can fight against the Ghost King, so your strength is also one of the reasons that attracted me here."

Li Ge said calmly: "It's just that this is not the main reason, right?"

Li Ge's eyes seemed to see through everything, allowing Zhu Shi to finally have some understanding of the abilities of this rumored swordsman.

Although this made Zhu Shi feel a little afraid, it was more reassuring.

For her who was hostile to the Ghost King, the less simple Li Ge was now, the more at ease she felt.

Thus, Zhu Shi finally revealed the real reason why he came here.

"After learning of your existence, I really had trouble sleeping and eating." Zhuyo said: "Jiguoyuanyi, this name has such weight for me, and for Kibutsuji Muzan."

These words made Derig cast a meaningful look at Zhu Shi.

"Have you ever seen Jiguoyuanyi?"

Although this sentence was said in the form of a question, Li Ge's tone was full of affirmation.

"...Yes." Tamashi didn't deny it, and said slowly: "I have seen Tsukuni Enichi, the powerful swordsman like the god of fire, and I have also seen him kill Demon Dance Tsuji Mukai once. , the scene where Onimbutsuji Muharu was almost killed.”

That's it.

Zhu Shi, this female ghost, may have been around longer than any of the current ones.

During the Warring States Period, Zhu Shi was already a ghost, and had an experience of following the ghost king.

It is also because of this that this person is the only person who witnessed that scene.

Witnessed the scene where Enichi Tsukuni and Muzan Kibutsuji met and started the first and last unforgettable fight in their lives.
