Near the town, in the forest of another deep mountain.

"That's it, right?"

Rig appeared with a freshly baked scabbard in his hand.

It was a scabbard that, like Riege's Hinawa Knife, was pitch black and coated with a layer of resin.

This is the result of nearly two hours of running in the mountains.

In order to create a scabbard that could hold the hermit, Rig used magic to decompose, extract, and smelt several resins, and finally refined an organic material that was very resistant to high temperatures, and also found a way to synthesize a highly iron similar to tungsten, and combined the two to finally create this scabbard.

"Click......

Rig put the hermit who had been holding it in his hand and exuded heat all the time into the scabbard, causing the scabbard to make a slight sound.

The blade of the hermit is neither long nor short, and it is just completely stored by the scabbard, leaving only the handle outside.

"Good."

Rig smiled contentedly.

This feeling of creating your own exclusive weapon is indeed different from the feeling of simply receiving the weapon that the other party fought for yourself from Tsubaki's hand.

"Now that the matter of weapons is completed, and the evolution of the breathing method has been completely completed according to the original plan, what I want to do in this world can basically be regarded as over, right?"

If there's one regret, it's that it hasn't been upgraded.

Before the dimensional shuttle, Rig planned to obtain enough great achievements in this world to upgrade in order to rise to Lv.6.

But it's a pity that this world is not a world with a large number of monsters to crusade like the wrong world, not to mention the scarcity of ghosts, and the strength is not very strong.

In the eyes of the people of this world, the existence of the Upper String Ghost is already a very terrifying enemy, but in the eyes of Li Ge, with only a Lv.4 level, he can be destroyed before he evolves the breathing method, let alone now?

Even if it is the legendary Ghost King and the one of the upper strings whose strength exceeds the rest of the upper strings by one level, the strength is probably around Lv.5, although it is the same level as Riege, but how can ordinary Lv.5 be Riege's opponent now?

If you just want an opponent, you may be able to barely get satisfied, but what Rig wants is an enemy who can achieve great things.

What kind of enemy can make a man achieve greatness?

An enemy stronger than yourself!

Therefore, Li Ge felt that he might not be able to achieve great things in this world and rise to Lv.6.

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

The ability value has reached the upper limit, and the potential and growth of the current level have also been exhausted, and the current Li Ge really can't make any decent progress except for leveling.

Under such circumstances, Rieger still has nearly three months to finish this dimensional shuttle, so what he can do next is probably just to kill time.

"If you practice swords and magic in your free time, you may be able to improve your swordsman and magic 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, no matter how you say it, is much stronger than the first one of the upper strings, and the first one of the upper strings should be a Lv.5, so can I expect that the ghost king to be Lv.6?"

"But even if it's Lv.6, there's probably no way to bring me great things now."

"What should I do?"

Rig hung the knife around his waist as he walked through the mountain trail, thinking a little bit.

Until a certain moment, Rieg suddenly stopped.

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

"Please wait a minute."

Just before Rig was about to draw his knife, a voice rang out.

"We have no ill will."

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

With the sound of this beautiful female voice, two people appeared in the direction of Rieger's gaze without warning.

It was a combination of a man and a woman

。

The man is a well-dressed and upright young man, like a rich child, and his hair is neatly combed, but his face looks a little fierce, giving people a bad temper and a feeling that he is not easy to mess with.

The woman was a very beautiful woman, with black hair combed into a large, low bun, a very pale complexion, but ruddy lips, wearing a dark purple kimono decorated with wavy lilac branches and red flowers, and a wide beige belt around her waist, which also looked like a rich lady.

The first impression of this combination of a man and a woman is that of a brother and sister, with the elder sister standing in front and the younger brother standing at their side one step behind, which is clearly dominated by the former.

It was such a pair of sisters and brothers, as if they suddenly appeared from space, and appeared in front of Rig.

Looking at the two of them, Rieger's eyes moved without a trace.

He had already recognized the identities of these two people.

"I've seen Jiguo Yuanyi."

The woman bowed to Rige.

“…… I didn't expect to be found before I showed up. ”

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

Li Ge glanced at the other party and said lightly: "Although the ability to block the sight of others and create illusions is rare, it is a pity that it is useless in the "world" I see now. ”

"Hush."

The boy is blatant, and his attitude is bad enough.

"Yushiro, don't be rude."

The beautiful woman suddenly frowned and reprimanded the young man beside her.

"Yes! Miss Zhu Shi! ”

The boy known as Yushiro immediately changed his bad attitude and became well-behaved and obedient.

Rig let go of his hand on the hilt of his knife and looked at the two men 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 me is by no means a human, but a ghost.

The ability to obscure vision and create illusions just now is the blood ghost technique of ghosts.

"I'm sorry to visit you in such a way."

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

"Please forgive me, after all, this is near the headquarters of the Ghost Slayer Team, and if we casually expose our existence, it may cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings, so I came here in this way."

These words are quite sincere, and people can't help but have a feeling of trusting each other.

Of course, if you were another ghost hunter, you wouldn't be able to trust each other anyway.

The other party is a ghost.,It's a man-eating monster.,Everyone in the ghost killing team hates the object of great hatred.,Except for a kind-hearted person like Tanjiro, who has a special experience.,It's estimated that no one will have a sense of trust in him because of the tone of the other party.。

If Rig didn't know where these two ghosts came from, he probably would.

"So, this ghost lady, did you come to the vicinity of the ghost killing team headquarters in this way just to see me?"

Rieger said something like that.

As soon as the other party appeared on the stage, he revealed Riege's fake name in this newspaper, so it was obvious that she was coming for herself.

As for the fact that the other party was able to find himself and find the headquarters of this ghost killing team, Rig was not surprised.

After all, he knew that the woman in front of him, who looked like a rich lady, was a ghost, but she was a friend who was hostile to the ghost king and had some contact with the Sanyashiki family.

The other party will know about their existence, and it is probably because of this.

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

"I'm indeed here to see you, Jiguo Yuan." Zhu Shi looked at Rige and said, "After learning about your existence from Tanjiro, I really couldn't sleep, and I finally made up my mind to come and see Your Excellency. ”

"From Tanjiro?" Rieger was surprised.

Isn't it from the maternity house?

"Yes." Zhu Shi nodded and explained, "Tanjiro and I are old acquaintances, and we have always kept in touch with each other, and he mentioned you in the letter he sent last time, saying that you are a capable person

A powerful swordsman who can easily slash the wind, and he admires you in his words. ”

"I see." Li Ge expressed his understanding, changed his tone again, and said, "But you shouldn't have come here because I killed Shangqi and was curious about me, right?" ”

“…… There are also reasons for this. Zhu Shi was silent for a while, and then said faintly: "I have been looking for someone who can fight against that ghost king, so your strength is also one of the reasons that attracted me to come." ”

Rige said calmly: "It's just, that's not the main reason, right?" ”

Rieger's eyes had a feeling that he had seen through everything, and Zhu Shi finally had a little understanding of the rumored swordsman's abilities.

Although this made Zhu Shi a little jealous, it was more of a peace of mind.

For her, who was hostile to the Ghost King, the more difficult it was for Li Ge to be now, the more she felt at ease.

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

"After learning of Your Excellency's existence, I really couldn't sleep." Zhu Shi said: "Ji Guoyuan Yi, this name has such weight for me, in terms of Ghost Dance and Migration. ”

These words made De Lige cast a meaningful gaze at Zhu Shi.

"Have you ever seen Jiguo Yuanyi?"

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

“…… Yes. Zhu Shi didn't deny it, and said slowly: "I've seen Jiguo Yuanyi, I've seen that powerful swordsman like a fire god, and I've also seen the scene where he once killed Ghost Dance and almost killed Ghost Dance Wuwu. ”

That's it.

Zhu Shi, this female ghost, in terms of the years of existence alone, may be older than any of the current upper strings.

During the Warring States Period, Zhu Shi was already a ghost, and he had an experience of following the Ghost King all the time.

Because of this, this is the only person who witnessed that scene.

witnessed the tragic encounter between Jiguo Yuanyi and Ghost Dance, and started the first and last unforgettable fight between the two in their lives.
