Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 012 Join
In just one day, the chain crow arrived at Ubuyashiki's residence from Sagiri Mountain, and then flew all the way back from Ubuyashiki's residence and stopped at Urokodaki Sakonji's thatched cottage on Sagiri Mountain.
It opened its mouth and made an unpleasant sound.
"Quack, quack...Urokodaki Sakonji, the boss has ordered that you bring your distinguished guest to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters immediately. You bring your distinguished guest to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters immediately."
Hephaestus looked at this chained crow, and her eyes flickered slightly several times.
The last time Loki took out a few Den Den Mushi at the God Assembly, the gods present were shocked , including her.
When she first saw a mobile phone in Emiya's world, it had a huge impact on her, but she had never imagined that there were things like Den Den Mushi in other worlds.
There are so many things in the world, and there is really nothing strange.
Even though she has already had an idea of how to modify the mobile phone and has started working on it, the magic version of the phone has not yet been manufactured. She is also very eager for things like Den Den Mushi.
Now suddenly seeing the Chain Crow, she felt that although this thing was not as convenient as the Den Den Mushi, it seemed to be able to replace the Den Den Mushi.
Can I introduce it into my own family ?
But after thinking for a moment, Hephaestus gave up the idea.
She was basically certain that the Den Den Mushi must have been discovered by Emiya in another world. Since Loki could get it, she could get it too, so there was no need to settle for second best.
Find an opportunity and let Emiya take me to a world where there are Den Den Mushi and catch a few of them.
At the same time, after receiving the order, Urokodaki Sakonji nodded, and took Hephaestus and Emiya on the road to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Emiya used his telekinesis to lift him and Hephaestus up into the air, "You lead the way."
Urokodaki Sakonji had already seen the scene of Emiya and Tanjiro Kamado falling from the sky, so he was not surprised at all. He nodded, pointed in a direction and said, "Go this way."
whoosh!
The next second, a group of three, well, to be more precise, two people and one god, shot out like an arrow, speeding all the way. They set out in the morning and arrived at the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps at noon.
Then, the three of them fell from the sky and landed in the yard.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen. After hearing the report, the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Usugayashiki Yoshiya, immediately realized that his distinguished guest had arrived.
So he rushed out of the room with his wife and daughter, and knelt before Hephaestus and Emiya, "The head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoya, pays homage to the gods."
His wife and children fell to their knees.
The swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps who hurried over saw that their leader had knelt down. Although they didn't understand why, they did not dare to be negligent and also knelt on the ground.
Soon, the whole yard was filled with people kneeling.
Emiya looked at the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. He was similar to the one in the plot, with severe disfigurement above the face and blindness. It was hard to imagine that he was also a handsome young man when he was young.
Hephaestus looked at Ubuyashiki Yoya and whispered, "Is this... a curse?"
Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled bitterly and said, "God, please understand. This is indeed a curse. It has entangled our Ubuyashiki clan for a thousand years."
When Emiya heard this, he suddenly remembered that the Ubuyashiki family was related to Muzan Kibutsuji by blood. After Muzan became a demon a thousand years ago, the family seemed to be cursed.
The children born, especially the boys, were all weak and sickly and died before long.
In order to prevent their bloodline from being cut off, the Ubuyashiki clan followed the advice of the chief priest and married girls from the priest family from generation to generation. Although they continued the lives of their descendants in this way, no one could successfully live to the age of 30.
After the death of Muzan Kibutsuji, Ubuyashiki Yoya's son, the cross-dressing man that Emiya saw on Fujiwarayama, became the longest-lived person in the Ubuyashiki clan.
Although Emiya explained the general plot of Demon Slayer to Hephaestus, he did not tell her about the Ubuyashiki clan.
The main reason is that the plot of Demon Slayer is quite long, and Emiya forgot about this kind of thing at that time.
But it's not too late now, Emiya briefly explained to her the history of the Ubuyashiki clan.
After hearing this, Hephaestus nodded thoughtfully, "I see, it's the curse of blood causality. This is really a tricky thing."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and patted Ubuyashiki Kazuya on the shoulder.
An extremely powerful force instantly entered Ubuyashiki Kakuya's body, and Ubuyashiki Kakuya's severely disfigured face became extremely smooth in just a few seconds.
His whole face regained its youthful and handsome appearance.
At the same time, his blind eyes saw the sunlight again, and he could clearly see the faces of Emiya and Hephaestus.
For the first time, the weak body became healthy and strong.
For a moment, Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at his hands in disbelief, "Is this... a curse, lifted?"
He didn't expect that just by meeting the gods, the curse that had afflicted their clan for a thousand years would disappear, and he would regain his health once again.
When Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's wife and children saw this scene, they were so excited that they shed tears.
Many swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps looked at Hephaestus with eyes that gradually became fanatical.
However, Hephaestus shook her head, "No, the curse is not lifted."
Ubuyashiki Yoya couldn't help but be stunned.
Hephaestus scratched her hair and said, "How should I put it? Some curses are not worth mentioning, but some are very troublesome. If it is a man-made curse, I can easily break it, but the curse of yours is very troublesome."
"This curse is a curse between blood sources. It involves cause and effect. It is not a man-made curse. If you want to lift it, you must cut off the blood source and destroy the cause and effect."
Ubuyashiki Yoya immediately understood. After all, if their Ubuyashiki clan wanted to be healthy and live long, they had to kill this guy Muzan Kibutsuji.
"My Lord God, my current situation is..." he asked cautiously.
Hephaestus said: "I used my power to suppress your curse and restore your health, but the curse still exists. When my power disappears, the curse will devour your body again."
Ubuyashiki Yoya felt a chill in his heart.
Hephaestus continued, "Of course, you don't have to worry too much. Judging from the power of the curse, it will take at least thirty years for it to devour your body again."
Ubuyashiki Yoya said excitedly: "The gods mean that I can live another 30 years."
"If you are not killed ." Hephaestus nodded.
"That's enough! That's enough!"
Ubuyashiki Yoya murmured that thirty years was enough time for him to lead the Demon Slayer Corps to teach Muzan Kibutsuji a profound lesson. Perhaps in their generation, they could completely get rid of Muzan Kibutsuji.
Because there are gods standing on their side.
Emiya said, "Okay, it's not nice for everyone to keep kneeling on the ground. Why don't we go inside and talk, Hephaestus."
Hephaestus nodded.
Ubuyashiki Yoya then got up from the ground and took Hephaestus and Emiya into the living room of the house.
As for the Demon Slayer swordsman in the yard, of course he just did what he was supposed to do.
After entering the house, Emiya made a table and a few chairs and placed them on the ground. He really couldn't stand sitting on his knees.
The same goes for Hephaestus.
However, Ubuyashiki Kōya, with his wife and children, and the former Water Pillar Urokodaki Sakonji, knelt in front of Emiya and Hephaestus, not daring to overstep the line in the slightest.
Hephaestus waved her hand, asking them to stand up, and pointed to the chair in front of her and said, "Sit down."
Ubuyashiki Yoya declined several times, saying that he didn't dare.
Emiya said, "I know your rules, but since Hephaestus has spoken, you should just go along with her temper."
Ubuyashiki Yoya then stood up, carefully pulled out a chair and sat down.
His wife, children, and Urokodaki Sakonji sat down in an orderly manner.
Hephaestus said, "I believe Urokodaki Sakonji has explained the situation in Orario very clearly in his letter. My family is a forging family, and my goal is the Orangutan Scarlet Iron. I want to trade with you and obtain a large amount of Orangutan Scarlet Iron. You can set the conditions, and if they are not excessive, I can consider it."
Ubuyashiki Yoya said without hesitation: "The Demon Slayer Corps is willing to unconditionally contribute the Red Ape Iron Sand to the God-sama, and only asks that the God-sama allow us to join the clan. We, the Demon Slayer Corps, are willing to worship the God-sama for generations to come."
Emiya knew that with Ubuyashiki Kazuya's personality, he would never miss this opportunity.
This is their best chance to turn the tide and defeat Muzan Kibutsuji.
Hephaestus turned to look at Emiya, "What do you think about this matter?"
Emiya was stunned, "You ask me?"
Hephaestus nodded.
Emiya said, "It's you who's collecting the followers, not me, why are you asking me?"
Hephaestus said: "As you know, our family is a forging family. If it is a blacksmith, I and Leyi will accept it, but our family does not need too many combatants."
"So you were trying to attract the swordsmith's attention." Emiya suddenly realized.
Hephaestus nodded, "I have seen the Nichirin swords made by the Demon Slayer Corps members. The craftsmanship is excellent. I can definitely feel their passion when forging the swords."
If such a person joined her clan, she would be very welcome.
"Then you can collect them all. Even if there is an extra group of fighters, there is no harm. Besides, you can also ask them to collect rare materials for you, right?"
Ubuyashiki Yoya's heart moved, and he quickly said: "Yes, Master Kami, if Master Kami needs it, we, the Demon Slayer Corps, are willing to search for all the precious minerals in the world for you."
Emiya added, "Also, don't be fooled by Ubuyashiki Yoya's frail appearance. He is a very qualified leader. He can fully assist Tsubaki and manage your clan well, saving you a lot of worry and effort."
