The Forge Master in the Blade of Demon Slayer

"There is a big family in the small town. They have existed since the Warring States period. They dominate everything in this small town!"

The eyes of the old lady were lost in thoughts and memories: "The prosperity of the small town is actually due to their efforts. Otherwise, many people would have died of famine and many people would have died of cruelty. However, nothing can be done. A family that has always existed, no matter how powerful it is, has its moments of decline. A few years ago, their family completely declined, and many people died. They also gradually disappeared from the sight of everyone in the town. However, several Months ago, they reappeared. At the same time, darkness fell..."

The old lady speaks very well, and Tie Zhicangsuke thinks that she probably has read books.

As she narrated, Tetsuno Sosuke quickly understood the whole story.

In short, a down-and-out family has been revived, and in just a few months, it has dominated almost everything in the town.

No one knows exactly what kind of power they used to rise, but it can be proved that this is definitely not an aboveboard power.

Because any family or force that opposes them will eventually disappear quietly.

In the end, they regained control of the town and all voices.

People thought that darkness was coming, but they didn't expect that this family did not use dark means to dominate here, but was very friendly to them.

The only problem is, the town has been missing people a lot since then.

And whenever someone goes missing, they will inevitably come out to appease the family members of the missing person, give wealth and promises, so that the family members of the missing person can be comforted.

In the beginning, there were naturally some who were unwilling, but they would soon disappear into the darkness.

Even if the police are called, under the temptation of huge wealth, and without any evidence, no one is willing to waste time here, and the matter will not be settled.

Later, many people surrendered to the status quo... until the arrival of the foreign merchant turned this matter into a rumor, which finally attracted Tiezhi Cangsuke and his party.

Chapter 140 Fear

With the intermittent narration of the old man, the fog has been completely lifted.

Sosuke Tetsunosuke took Sato Ami to leave the old man's residence, but he never made any promises.

After going out, Ami Sato asked Sosuke Tetsuno: "What should I do next? Do I need to leave someone here to guard?"

"Need not."

Unexpectedly, Tie Zhi Cangsuke shook his head: "Since it is said that this family has already controlled the entire town, the other party may have already known about our arrival."

Ami Sato nodded, she also thought of it.

In fact, it's not just as simple as knowing, they have always allowed their group to conduct investigations here, and I am afraid that intentionally or unintentionally, they are also luring them to their final destination.

Otherwise, if you really want to completely conceal everything, it will be difficult for the previous batch of swordsmen to investigate.

And if they don't want Tiezhi Cangsuke and his party to know this information, even if they find the address, they will never see the old man just now.

With this understanding, there is no need to worry about the safety of the elderly.

Immediately called Kotani Tetsuno and Kashima Taro, and the group returned to the courtyard.

After explaining what happened at the old man's house, Zheye Xiaogu said, "So, we can go straight to our destination?"

This is beyond doubt.

Now that everything has pointed there, it is natural to find out.

Normally speaking, if there are ghosts in that place, it is the best choice to go during the day, just in time to ask the ghosts to come out to bask in the sun.

But in broad daylight, people may not be willing to let them get in easily.

Tie Zhicangsuke looked at the sky, and finally said: "Leave tonight, but don't give too much time. At three o'clock in the morning, we will set off when it is about to dawn. This time is the deepest moment of sleep. , it is not easy to attract their attention, and we can be flexible in our actions."

Just talking about this, Tiezhi Cansuke said again: "It's just that they may stay up all night, waiting for our arrival."

"Is this a trap?" Ami Sato frowned: "Do you want to wait for a while?"

Tiezhi Cangsuke shook his head: "I can't wait anymore, if we don't go tonight, I'm afraid someone will go missing tomorrow."

"You mean, they are forcing us?" Sato Ami's expression changed.

"How can we let us linger in the net that has already been woven, and not enter?"

Tiezhi Cangsuke said: "Waiting one more day will cause unnecessary casualties, so we can't wait."

While speaking, he summoned the crow, and then wrote a letter with the pen and paper that Kashima Taro carried, briefly explaining the situation here.

"If we die, latecomers can at least know where the target is. It won't turn around in the same place several times, and give the opponent sufficient time to prepare."

Tiezhi Cansuke asked the crow to send the letter away, and then glanced at the three swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad who were present.

After struggling for a long time, I finally realized that there seemed to be nothing to say, so I smiled immediately: "Let's rest first, and take turns to watch at night to prepare for emergencies. When the time comes, we will set off immediately."

"it is good!"

The three agreed together, and Sosuke Tetsunosuke suggested that he defend the first round first, but Kashima Taro snatched it away.

"You guys have a good rest. Cangjie came from a long distance and traveled for a long time, and you two too, so you are the most tired now. You rest first, and I will rest in the middle of the night."

Kashima Taro said so, and the others had nothing to refute, so they nodded immediately.

Spreading hay on the ground, Tetsuno Sosuke leaned on the sledgehammer and fell asleep the moment he lay down.

He couldn't help but toss the pancakes over and over again. Replenishment of energy is the most important thing now, otherwise it will be difficult to cope with the battle that comes at night.
