Chapter 5 Seven days in a hurry
Seven days are short.
In the case of the death of the Hand Ghost, the most threatening ghost, the ghost selected in the end is no match for Katanjiro at all.
What's more, now there is a Relf who is not weaker than Kawajiro.
Because of the character of the ghost daytime and nighttime, the two recovered their energy during the daytime. During this period, Relf learned Japanese from Kawajiro.
Of course, it is unlikely to learn like in school. After all, Kawajiro and Zaruba are not good at teaching, so Relf can only use the stupidest method - directly talk to Kawajiro, start teaching everything around him, and let Zaruba translate if he really doesn't understand.
Thanks to the training of the Knight of the Lord of the Rings, Relf's memory is much stronger than before traveling through time. In this situation where he can only communicate in Japanese, he has made rapid progress.
After a few days, Relf could communicate with Kawajiro in some simple sentences, but only to the level of saying hello.
However, during this period, Relf did not only learn Japanese. The injuries on his body healed after three days. In the remaining time, he had a competition with Kanejiro to achieve the goal of restoring his body. It was not so much a competition, but a restorative training, with no winning or losing. The real big head was on the ghosts all over the mountains.
Kawajiro wanted to find out how to turn ghosts into humans from these ghosts, and Relf also needed several battles to restore his body to his peak.
So the two hit it off and planned to spend the remaining four days to attack the ghosts.
However, just as they were preparing to take action, they discovered a little problem.
“It’s useless…”
Relf looked at the ghost who had just been cut off by him and frowned slightly.
The ghost whose corpse was separated was not dead. Although there were still burning marks on the wound, the ghost's body was still moving and was still swearing.
It seems that he is worried about it. Soul Steel is a metal specially designed to deal with Hora. Although it is effective against ghosts, it is not as targeted as the Sun Wheel Sword.
"Mr. Lei, let me do it."
Kawajiro looked at the struggled ghost and said out loud.
"No, I still have an idea to try."
Relf said, reaching out and pulling out a device with a strong Gothic flavor from his arms.
In Kawajiro's curious eyes, Relf opened the lid on the device and rubbed his thumb over the pulley.
Whoosh-!
A cyan flame rises in the device.
Although he already knew that Relf's identity was extraordinary and there were many small props around him that he had never seen before, Kawajiro couldn't help but look surprised.
"What's this?"
"Ridodok, the device used for ignition, but to understand it, it's more accurate to call a lighter."
Lighters were originally derived from flint ignition guns. They had prototypes in China and Europe as early as the 16th century. Modern lighters would not appear until the middle of the 20th century. It is normal for Kawajiro to have never seen them. However, the lighters in the Knights of the Rings do not store ordinary flames, but magic fuses that can kill monsters.
This magic fire came from the era of Zaruba. After all, the medieval magic fire was not that easy to use.
Relf picked up his sword and gently flirted with it on the sword.
The Lord of the Ring Sword was covered with a layer of oil, and the green magic flame spread over the entire sword blade like flowing water. The extremely high temperature even the air around the sword blade was a little distorted.
Without hesitation, Relf slashed at the ghost head who was still scolding.
It was as smooth as a hot soldering iron to cut butter, and it almost didn't stop it from splitting the ghost's head in half. At this moment, the sound came to an abrupt end.
The blue flame spread rapidly from the wound toward the surroundings, and the ghost's head turned into ashes in the flame.
The ghost's body began an irreversible decay process at the moment the ghost's head disappeared, and the whole body quickly turned into ashes and dissipated into the world.
"Sure enough, the magic fire can burn them all."
Relf said, and with a casual blow to the sword, the magic fire on the blade was extinguished.
"So amazing. If you have this, it will be much more convenient to burn charcoal."
Looking at this scene, Kawajiro couldn't help but exclaim. Suddenly, his after-light glimpse of the body of the disappearing ghost, and his voice gradually lowered.
“······· Let’s go, Kawajiro.”
Putting the blade in the sheath, Relf wanted to leave.
However, Kawajiro did not take action. He closed his eyes, clasped his hands at the dead ghost, bowed deeply, and muttered something softly, as if he was praying, but at Relph's current level, he still couldn't understand.
After all this, Kawajiro turned around and followed Relf.
Relf didn't say much, just walked silently.
Ghosts are originally humans. When they become ghosts, the desire to eat people will fill their bodies. When they fill their stomachs and wake up, they will never look back on this path.
Tanjiro also knew this. Although he was a member of the Demon Slayer Team, he was deeply touched by this because his sister became a ghost. Therefore, compared with the hatred of other Demon Slayer Team members towards ghosts, Tanjiro was also full of pity for ghosts.
However, this mercy does not affect Kawajiro's killing of ghosts. His mercy will only be revealed after killing the ghosts.
This is Kanejiro, a gentle man who makes people want to cry.
When the last night passed and the rising sun rose, marking the complete end of the final selection of the Demon Slayer Team.
Because Relf and Kawajiro were both killing ghosts in the last four days, the Demon Killing Team seemed to have survived a few more people than before.
It is worth mentioning that although Relf is not the one who actually participated in the selection, the two people in charge were also given the same treatment.
Here we will mention the composition of the members of the Demon Killing Team, which are roughly divided into four types. One is a disciple trained by the retired Demon Killing Team members as training masters. This is the case of Kawajiro, and the other is a family-style inheritance. Each generation is a member of the Demon Killing Team, and this is the case of the Flame Pill.
The remaining two are ordinary people who have great hatred for ghosts and good people who have attracted money from the world.
After all, the ghost killing team sacrificed a lot in the process of dealing with ghosts, so in a certain way, their recruitment standards are not high.
Relf also agreed. It would be a good choice to have such an organization as a backing for action in this world. Of course, he also made a request with a pair of children of the lord of the Demon Slayer Team. He did not know how to breathe, and hoped to find someone to teach him.
This was considered by Relf. Once the breathing method is learned, it is very helpful for his strength to grow. Although there are ready-made big shots like Lin Tak, considering that the Knight of the Ring is either playing with fire or thunder, the breathing of water is probably not very consistent with him, so he made such a request.
They agreed very simply and left this to the headquarters for arrangements.
In this way, Ralf, who had not yet determined what to do next, followed Kawajiro to Lintaki's home.
ps:Magic Fire
The green fire belonging to the demon world is usually stored in magic props in the shape of a lighter.
Use magic fire to ignite the instructions sent by the dogs in charge of their jurisdiction to read.
