Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 014 Millennium Collection
Hephaestus looked at the people kneeling on the ground, restrained her breath, and seemed to have become an ordinary person again.
But the people present did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and maintained the necessary respect.
"Get up," she said softly.
Everyone nodded and slowly stood up under the leadership of Ubuyashiki Yoya.
Even the hot-tempered Wind Pillar would not dare to explode at this time.
After all, they have realized that the red-haired woman in front of them is a real goddess.
"Ubuyashiki Yoya has already told me about your affairs, but I won't make it difficult for you. If you are willing to join my clan, I welcome you infinitely. If you are not willing to join my clan, I won't make it difficult for you. The choice is in your hands, you can consider it."
As soon as Hephaestus finished speaking, the Wind Pillar, Mushikawa Shima, took the lead and said loudly: "My Lord God, I am willing to join your clan."
The Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro nodded and said in a voice that was no less powerful than the Wind Pillar: "Yes, it is our honor that the gods are willing to give us a chance. Please allow me to join your clan."
Afterwards, the other pillars agreed to join the Hephaestus Familia.
Only two people remained silent.
One is Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho. Because she has accepted Hephaestus' arrangement, after entering Orario, she chose the Mihe clan and studied pharmacology.
The other one is the rock pillar Gyoumei Hiramashima.
He is different from the other pillars. The other pillars have no faith and have no psychological barriers to joining Hephaestus's family and worshipping Hephaestus, but he is indeed a real monk.
Everyone knew his situation and no one pushed him.
Ubuyashiki Yoya said: " Just follow your idea. No matter what, the gods will not blame you."
The rock pillar, Beimingyu Xingming, nodded and asked, "Sir, can you introduce me to the Buddha?"
Hephaestus shook her head and said, "No, those guys who only know how to practice are still in heaven and have not gone down to the mortal world to form a clan."
There are also Buddhas in heaven, but unfortunately these guys are not attached to the prosperity of the human world.
Therefore, at the current position, Orario does not have any followers of Buddha.
"But I can recommend you to Jian Yulei, please consider it yourself."
The Rock Pillar, Gyomei Hyōmei, shook his head. He was a monk and wanted to join the clan formed by the Buddha, but since there was no clan formed by the Buddha, he might as well join the clan of Hephaestus.
As for Jian Yu Lei, he did not have such obsession.
In the end, except for the Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho, the other eight pillars chose to join the Hephaestus family.
Hephaestus was also generous and granted her favor.
"Congratulations." Emiya said with a smile. The strength of these pillars has almost reached the limit of human beings, and each of them is not inferior to the LV.2 adventurer.
Adventurers of this level are considered to be middle-class adventurers in Orario.
And if they can open the markings, their strength can be further improved, especially the strongest rock pillar. If they open the markings and comprehend the transparent world, they can completely rival the LV.3 adventurers.
Hephaestus got a good deal.
Hephaestus rolled her eyes and ignored Emiya, turning to ask Ubuyashiki Yoya, "Haven't the swordsmiths arrived yet?"
For example, for these pillars, what she wanted more was the swordsmith.
Ubuyashiki Yoya replied, "I have passed the village, and they will arrive in a few days."
Hephaestus nodded, "Before the swordsmith comes, you should learn to recite first."
"Read?" Ubuyashiki Yoya was stunned and couldn't help but look at Emiya.
If he remembered correctly, Emiya seemed to be able to recite it as well.
Not long ago, his children came back from Fujikiyama and told him that during the final selection of Fujikiyama, a strange man appeared who possessed the extraordinary power to kill demons without using the Nichirin Sword.
And this extraordinary power is called mind.
The opponent can even trade this ability with the Demon Slayer Corps, but the Demon Slayer Corps must pay a price.
When Ubuyashiki Yoya heard about this, he did not sleep well for several days and nights. He kept thinking about this extraordinary power called mind.
If the members of the Demon Slayer Corps can really learn Nen, then can they defeat the Twelve Kizuki or even Muzan Kibutsuji?
So he asked around about the matter and soon found out Emiya's name and where he was going.
He and a boy named Tanjiro Kamado went to Mount Sagiri.
However, just when he was about to contact Urokodaki Sakonji, he happened to receive a letter from Urokodaki Sakonji, which described Tanjiro Kamado's experience, the appearance of the gods, and the grace of God.
In his letter, he strongly suggested that the Demon Slayer Corps join the clan and accept God's grace.
So Ubuyashiki Yoya suddenly forgot about what he was thinking and focused all his attention on the gods.
Because compared to the power of gods, the power of mind is really not worth mentioning.
However, what he did not expect was that now that they had joined the clan and accepted God's grace, they actually heard thoughts from the mouths of the gods again.
So he couldn't help but look at Emiya.
Emiya sighed and said, "You are lucky. You can learn Nen without paying any price."
Ubuyashiki Yoya was stunned for a moment.
"Don't underestimate Nen." Hephaestus said calmly, "This is a very excellent supernatural power given to me by Emiya. Combined with grace, it can make you even more powerful. Even in Orario, there are only a handful of Familiars who can read Nen, and each of them has a close relationship with Emiya."
After a pause, she continued, "When you go to Orario in the future, you must not give the thought to anyone other than the family without my permission. Do you understand?"
Ubuyashiki Yoya couldn't help but look at Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu.
She will join the Miheu clan in the future, but currently she is still a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Now everyone can learn Nen, and it doesn't seem right to just reject Shinobu Kocho.
Hephaestus knew what he was thinking, shook her head and said, "The training method of Nen is very precious. I promised Emiya that I would not give this ability to anyone other than my family."
Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly, "Don't worry, my lord. I am honored to be recommended by the gods and join the Mihe clan."
Ubuyashiki Yoya lowered his head and thought, since Hephaestus said that the method of practicing Nen is very precious, then this must be a good thing.
He really wanted to hand it over to Shinobu Kocho, or just let Shinobu Kocho join Hephaestus's clan instead of joining the Mihe clan.
However, this seems to be a waste of Shinobu Kocho's talent, and Shinobu Kocho seems to be very yearning for the medical god Mihe.
At this moment, Ubuyashiki Yoya had an idea in his mind, and he looked up and asked, "Sir, may I ask if Lord Emiya is also a member of our clan?"
Hephaestus shook her head, "This guy is not, he is a member of Loki's family, but he is my partner."
Ubuyashiki Yoya couldn't help but laugh, and turned his head and said, "Lord Emiya, I heard from my children that you once said at Fujiki Mountain that you were willing to trade your Nen with our Demon Slayer Corps."
Emiya raised his eyebrows, "You remember it very clearly, yes, I did say that."
"Then are you still willing to trade with us, Lord Emiya? No, to be more precise, you want to trade with Shinobu Kocho."
"My Lord..."
Shinobu Kocho was about to say something but was stopped by Ubuyashiki Kagaya with a smile.
Emiya said: "Yes, if you can give me something that makes me excited, I can give the training method of Nen to Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu."
Ubuyashiki Yoya bowed and said, "I am willing to hand over all the thousand-year collections of the Ubuyashiki family to Lord Emiya."
"My lord!" Shinobu Kocho finally couldn't help it. After all, she was the Insect Pillar and a high-ranking member of the Demon Slayer Corps. She knew very well what the Ubuyashiki clan's thousand-year-old collection meant.
This requires giving everything.
Ubuyashiki Yoya continued, "Perhaps Your Excellency will look down on the thousand-year collection of the Ubuyashiki family, but I can guarantee that the thousand-year collection of the Ubuyashiki family will never disappoint Your Excellency Emiya."
To be honest, Emiya did look down on the Ubuyashiki family's thousand-year-old collection.
After all, there are not many good things in the world of Demon Slayer. The only thing Emiya is interested in is the original breathing method... Sun Breathing, and the mysterious potion that turned Muzan Kibutsuji into the ancestor of the demon.
The Ubuyashiki clan obviously would not have the recipe for this medicine.
However, considering the other party's sincerity, Emiya nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."
Ubuyashiki Yoya breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Thank you, Lord Emiya."
When Hephaestus saw that Emiya had given in, she immediately told everyone present how to practice Nen.
And Ubuyashiki Yoya also fulfilled his promise and gave all of the Ubuyashiki family's thousand-year collection to Emiya. However, to Emiya's surprise, the most common items in the Ubuyashiki family's thousand-year collection were neither magical weapons nor gold and silver treasures.
But books.
Lots of books.
Most of these books are about various breathing methods, corresponding sword techniques, physical exercise methods, and a large number of medical books.
It has been mentioned before that because of Muzan Kibutsuji, the children born to the Ubuyashiki clan, especially boys, are all weak and sickly and will die soon.
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.
Therefore, in order to survive, many descendants of the Ubuyashiki clan began to study medicine madly and collected a large number of medical books.
The fact that Shinobu Kocho became the Insect Pillar at a young age and was proficient in pharmacology and toxicology was not unrelated to these medical books.
