Chapter 452: The Meaning of [Lake Toya].
The knife of Murayumaru was also forged by Kamado Tejuro, the ancestor of Kamado Tanjuro, and it took nearly half of the celestial meteorite obtained by chance to create [Murayumaru], but Kamado Teye felt that this knife might set off a bloody storm, so he sealed it without leaving any inscription on the knife.
After that, Kamado Teye used the remaining meteorite iron to forge twelve large fast knives, which was later known as the Kyoto Supreme Great Quick Knife Twelve Craftsmen.
It is said that the sharpness of the twelve knives he carefully forged when they came out was still above the demon sword [Mura Yumaru].
It's just that there is no strange "growth".
It was also the second ruling after the millennium that made Psoe. One of the reasons why the demon knife in Wiseman's hand [Mura Yumaru] was able to cut off the Twelve Crafts with great ease.
Therefore, if you want to forge a knife that can fight against [Murayu Maru], the only way is to reforge the Supreme Great Quick Knife Twelve Crafts and re-quench that half of the demonic Celestial Meteoric Iron.
Then, on this basis, forge a peerless murder weapon that does not lose to [Mura Yumaru].
However, at this moment, seeing the dizzying twelve supreme fast knives in front of him gathered together, Tanjuro Kamado was still shocked!
Immediately afterwards, he was shocked for a moment by Higashinohara's extraordinary "big stroke" recasting, and after coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but look at the other party deeply.
"The ancestors said,
That's a 'wrong' knife. ”
At this time, Tanjuro Kamado did not immediately answer whether he could or not.
Higashinohara was silent for a moment when he heard this, stared into the other party's eyes and said, "There is no 'wrong' knife in this world, only the wrong person, the ancestor of the Zaomen family probably never thought that the knife would fall into the hands of the second ruling envoy of the adjudication division, and in order not to let that knife drink more blood, what we have to do now is to make up for the mistakes made by your ancestors." ”
He's not an eloquent mouthman.
But these words were sincere, and Tanjuro Kamado couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked up at the clown mask on Higashinohara's face.
Although he took advantage of the chaos to leave the small fishing village of the port with his family and children after the battle in White Swan Harbor, and went underground all the way to the underground without any identity verification, it does not mean that he does not know what happened around this man on the ground during this time.
The right thing to do?
This time, Tanjuro Kamado didn't stay silent for long, and used his foot to hook out the wooden box that was placed aside, and when he kicked it open, it was full of iron tools such as anvils, hammers, and tongs.
"I'll try."
He said so.
Higashinohara tilted his head slightly to look inside, and found that he didn't have a furnace or anything like that.
However, Tanjuro Kamado seemed to see Higashinohara's doubts, took out a cigarette roll from his coat pocket and put it to his mouth, and the index and middle fingers of his right hand suddenly burst into a red flame, and smiled slightly at Higashinohara.
The corners of Higashinohara's mouth twitched, and he shook his head in his heart and sighed, "Times have changed."
Immediately, something came to his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take?" ”
As the saying goes, 100 is made into steel.
Although Tanjuro Kamado has awakened the [Red Flame], it still takes a lot of energy and time to combine the twelve swords into one.
Hearing this, Tanjuro Kamado looked up at the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall that he didn't know where to pick it up, and it was half past four in the afternoon, and it was not yet dinner time.
He saw that Higashinohara seemed to be in a hurry, and after a deep groan, he said, "Tomorrow morning, you come and get it." ”
Do I need an overnight night?
He knew very well that this time was short.
That is, the descendants of famous craftsmen like Tanjuro Kamado have also awakened the fire ability at the top of the talent sequence, and it may be difficult to achieve it without a week's effort on an ordinary blacksmith.
But it's still too slow.
But this knife is very important to him.
Although Higashinohara defeated Yavuz of the Ninety-Five Realm at the World Bank Building today. Bart, but he doesn't swell into thinking that his current strength can make the other party's second ruling. Wiseman.
Not to mention the gap between the two Ninety-Five Realm powerhouses themselves,
Higashinohara was able to kill Yawuz. Bart is largely [Hungry Ghost Dao] against Yawuz. Bart is able to restrain himself and meet Pso. Wiseman doesn't have such a good thing, not to mention that the latter's strength is still in Yavuz. Above Bart.
Of course
Another crucial point is weapons.
If there was no weapon that was strong enough to resist the demon sword Mura Yumaru in the opponent's hand, then it only took a few shots, and the few remaining big knives in Higashinohara's hand would all be broken.
This shows how important a big fast knife that can fight against [Mura Yumaru] is to him.
But the current reality is that time is pressing, Higashinohara hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to take a gamble, nodded and said, "These knives are all placed here with you, and tomorrow morning, I will pick them up." ”
Time waits for no one.
He was going to put Dolohi first. Alita sent the sewers to Kyoto, and when she woke up, she entrusted Shura and the other party to go to the Baryeong-gun dock first, and she came back to get the knife.
Tanjuro Kamado also seemed to see Higashinohara's urgency, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but nod solemnly, and suddenly asked again, "What are you going to call this knife?" ”
The swordsmith will leave a sword inscription on the sword body after the quenching is completed, and the feat of recasting the twelve fast knives into one is entrusted to him by Higashinohara, and naturally it should be named after Higashino.
Higashinohara pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Then it's called 'Lake Toya'." ”
"Lake Toya?
Is that crater lake in southwestern Hokkaido? ”
Tanjiro Kamado nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and couldn't help but praise, "Lake Toya is said to be a natural lake formed after frequent volcanic eruptions, and the recasting of the Supreme Great Knife Twelve Crafts by the guests is also reborn from the fire, this name has a far-reaching meaning, and it seems that I will concentrate tonight and must not disappoint the guests." ”
Higashinohara was stunned by Tanjuro's praise from Kamado, and then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You just have to do your best, don't have too much pressure, I actually didn't mean that." ”
"Huh? What does the guest's name 'Lake Toya' mean? Tanjiro Kamado asked.
Higashinohara hesitated, and an interesting memory from a long time ago seemed to pop up in his mind.
He smiled and said, "Well, if I had to say it, it would probably mean 'indestructible, indestructible'." ”
"Huh?!"
This time it was Tanjiro Kamado's turn to be stunned.
Although he stood there and thought about it for a long time, he didn't understand how the volcanic lake "Lake Toya" could be connected with "invincible"?
However, when Higashinohara was about to go out, he remembered something again, and quickly opened his mouth to stop Higashinohara.
"What's wrong?" Higashinohara turned.
Ding Ding Bang Bang!
But I saw that Tanjuro Kamado didn't know where to take out a black knife bag, threw it on the ground and displayed it in front of Higashinohara's eyes.
Higashinohara glanced down, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and what was placed on the ground was a knife.
There are a total of seven knives, and each blade is shining with a cold light, which looks extremely sharp, and it is not much worse than the Kyoto Supreme Great Knife Twelve Craftsmen forged by the ancestors of the Kaomen clan in terms of craftsmanship.
The only thing that is lacking may be the piece of celestial meteorite that was inadvertently obtained.
"This is a knife that I have forged in my spare time over the years."
Tanjuro Kamado scratched his head a little astringently, and continued to Higashinohara, "Although it is not as good as the ancestors' supreme fast sword twelve work, if your sword is left here during this time and you don't have a weapon in hand, you can take it for self-defense first." ””
Higashino was still hesitating about where to get a knife to deal with the unexpected situations that might arise during this time, and he couldn't help but be a little happy when he saw this, and said neatly, "Then thank you, how much do I need to pay for these." ”
At the beginning, he entrusted Tanjuro Kamado to reforge the broken [Great Thousand Bird Ten Characters] and [Phoenix Double Blade] for a total of 20,000 tat, and now the other party has bothered to reforge the twelve big knives into one, and this night must not be eye-catching.
Plus seven quick knives,
This money naturally has to be settled with the other party.
"You can use it first." Tanjuro Kamado smiled when he heard this, and didn't seem to care too much.
The reason why he took the risk to help Higashinohara this time was entirely due to the fact that Higashinohara had saved his wife and children by chance in the warehouse of the port terminal during the day.
There is a kindness in return.
He will definitely repay this favor.
Higashinohara also understood when he saw Tanjuro Kamado's attitude, he was not a twisted person, and he could only thank him again when he heard it.
Time waits for no one.
Next, without saying much between the two, Higashinohara unfolded the rare technique. The Hidden Sword summon incorporates seven large fast knives into it.
He picked up Dorohi, who was leaning back to his side and was asleep. Alita, lifted the curtain and turned around and left here, staying too long would only cause unnecessary trouble to Tanjuro Kamado.
Shura, who was waiting outside, saw Higashinohara who had gone and returned, and found that the expression on his face seemed to be a little lighter, as if he had done something important, and he opened his mouth and still didn't ask anything.
The next step is to hurry.
In the dark and damp sewers, the little boy Will leads the way, holding Dorohi in his arms. Alita followed, the black hole devouring their backs.
The afternoon passed in silence, and all that was left was the sound of footsteps and gurgling water.
unconsciously
Three hours passed.
At a glance, there is still a dark passage with no end in sight.
The only thing that may have changed was the exhaustion on the face of the little boy Will, who was still gritting his teeth for a thousand dollars and a promise to his mother and brother.
In fact, not only him, although Shura is a capable person, he was killed by Francis during the battle of the World Bank Building. Bart was hit hard, and now he limped for three hours, and a look of tiredness uncontrollably appeared on his face.
"If you're tired, you can rest first." After a moment of silence, Higashinohara suddenly spoke.
"No, no, no! Sir, I'm not tired. Will seemed eager to be worthy of the guide's salary.
After all, this was the first time he had gotten so much money, and when he heard this, he quickly jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and waved his hand desperately to show that he was not tired.
Higashinohara smiled and said, "What a spiritual guy, you're not tired, but I'm tired." ”
Will was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Higashinohara had been holding this sleeping tall woman all the way, and he had never even changed his posture once, which was equivalent to one person carrying the weight of two people and moving forward with a load.
He suddenly looked a little confused, and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't do anything.
If it is placed in that sewer gathering area, he encounters this kind of work that leads the way and generous guests, let alone a thousand yuan, even if it is a hundred yuan, he would like to find a small cart to be pulled by a cow and a horse.
But that's obviously not the case here.
Higashinohara didn't know what the little guy was thinking, he said this purely to give the two of them a step, in fact, he was holding Doroshi. Alita really didn't feel that tired.
It's not like Dolohi. Alita is slender and lightweight, and with a height of 1.8 meters, it is impossible to be light.
It is really Higashinohara's now, with the blessing of attribute points, is developing towards a "hexagonal warrior".
The [Constitution] and 69.9 [Strength] attributes of up to 90.3 are placed here, and if conditions allow, he will even hold Dolohi. Alita walked around the city of Upper Kyoto without panting.
Taking advantage of the rest, Higashinohara glanced at Shura, and then at Will, who was lying on the side leaning against the wall with a puppy tongue sticking out, and said without much evasion,
"Can I ask you for something?"
Will heard Higashinohara speak, although the other party did not shy away from him, but he was still a half-grown child, he still pointed to the pipe on the other side, "Sir, I'll go over there to rest first, and by the way, let you go." ”
"He's a sensible child." Higashinohara Road.
"It's hard for a child who has lived underground since birth to be ignorant." Shura shrugged his shoulders and turned his head sideways to look at Higashinohara, before asking, "What's the matter?" ”
Higashinohara's gaze fell on Doroshi. Alita's body hesitated and said:
"I should go back again, get one thing, cross the Baling County sewer at the junction, and when she wakes up, can you please take her to the Baling County dock?"
"You want to go back?"
Shura was a little surprised when he heard this.
In his opinion, the city has now become a tiger's den in Longtan.
If he can get out of here safely, he probably won't be in the upper Kyoto city area for several years.
"Hmm." Higashinohara nodded.
He didn't say much.
Shura didn't ask much either.
He didn't even ask the other party how to get out.
He's the kind of guy who makes a decision and gambles on everything.
Just like this time when he took over the mission issued by Higashinohara to attack the World Bank Building, he gave everyone in the hunter organization a way out, but he didn't leave any way out for himself.
If it weren't for Higashinohara this time,
There was no way for him to get out of that building.
So, whatever the reason for Higashinohara, now that he has made his decision.
Naturally, he will respect the other party's decision.
Higashinohara saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, groaned, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Have you ever thought about what you will do after you go out?" Continue to be a chasess? ”
"Or else?"
Shura lit a cigarette, wisps of smoke slowly rose between the light of the fire, and said with a wry smile, "The most important thing in a city like Kyoto is the ability, but in this city, there are only those who can stand on the street and bask in the sunshine, and rats like us can only find something to do for ourselves." ”
"Didn't you think about going to other countries?"
Higashinohara asked.
"Where is that not the case?"
Shura licked his lips, took another deep breath and said, "Even if the powerful Tagos and San Maro Empires are mixed into big shots, they are still just a dog in the eyes of the real celestial nobles, unless."
"Unless what?" Higashinohara asked.
"Unless one day, the parliament building, which symbolizes the world government, collapses, and can no longer cover the eyes of the common people, and the nine great families, which symbolize the nobility of heaven and human rights, completely disappear and can no longer cover the common people.
otherwise
It's not the same everywhere."
Shura took a deep breath and spit out the cigarette butt, leaning against the damp wall and standing up.
"Alright, it's almost time to go."
He could already see that the man in front of him with the pale clown mask was not tired, but only worried about them and would offer to take a break halfway.
Higashinohara heard the other party's words, and his face showed a little thoughtful.
Seeing that the other party got up to hurry, he didn't say much, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go." ”
But as soon as his voice fell,
Suddenly, the little boy who had just been resting and helping to watch the wind came over, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Oh no, sir! Someone! There is a voice in that pipe. ”
Well?
Higashinohara frowned slightly when he heard this, and listened attentively.
Sure enough, in the cold wind of the sewers, there was a sound of conversation.
In the next second, in the dark space, a beam of light pierced the darkness without warning.
