Chapter 577: Mechanical doll
Tanjiro immediately sat up and opened his eyes at the same time.
"You're awake!" The little boy couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that Tanjiro had regained consciousness. He didn't know if it was because of the steel mound or because of what Tanjiro had just said to their knife forger. At this time, the little boy seemed to He was no longer wary of Tanjiro.
"Are you okay? It's better not to sit up suddenly. It's not good for your brain!" The little boy then asked Tanjiro.
But Tanjiro didn't care about this, and asked the little boy: "Did Mr. Steel Mound come here just now? I seemed to hear his voice!"
"No! Mr. Iron Tomb, he has been hiding from the people in the village, how could he appear in front of you and me!" The little boy said with a guilty conscience, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Is it my imagination? Do I want to see Mr. Steel Tomb too much?" Tanjiro was also a little confused. There was no smell of the Steel Tomb nearby, so Tanjiro couldn't really tell whether it was an illusion or not.
Hence, Tanjiro stopped pursuing it and asked about Tokidou Muichiro's situation: "Where is Kasumashira?"
“I gave him the key and he left!” the little boy replied truthfully.
"Did you give it to him? His attitude can only be like this! Although I don't know what the key is used for, it is obviously very important to you! But I'm really sorry, I didn't help much!" Tan Jiro said and apologized to the little boy.
"Don't blame yourself too much! You just spoke for me and all the swordsmiths, and I am already very touched! Thank you very much for your recognition and respect for the swordsmiths!" The little boy did not expect that Tanjiro would do this for him. He blamed himself, so he immediately bowed to him and said.
After that, Tanjiro and the little boy got to know each other, and Tanjiro realized that everyone in the village called him Kotetsu. The key that Tokitoru Muichiro took away was the activation key of a mechanism doll made by Xiao Tetsuzu.
From what Xiaotie said, the machine puppet seems to be a very powerful thing. As long as you can defeat the puppet, it will greatly improve your strength. Tanjiro didn't doubt the authenticity too much. After all, even Muichiro Tokito wanted to train with it, which was enough to show that this machine doll was really powerful.
Could it be that the secret weapon that Kanroji Mitsuri mentioned to become stronger is this mechanism doll?
Although this machine doll is powerful, it has been in disrepair for many years, so it cannot withstand high-intensity use. This is why Kotetsu is unwilling to give the key to Tokitoru Muichiro.
It is also because the art of mechanical dolls has been passed down for hundreds of years and there have been many faults, so Xiaotie does not have the ability to repair the mechanical dolls. This has also resulted in the mechanical dolls becoming the only legacy left by Xiaotie's ancestors.
Combat training with a machine doll will inevitably cause damage to the machine doll. Once the machine doll is damaged, it means that the machine doll is completely scrapped. Xiaotie didn't have the ability to repair it, so there was no need to make another one.
In order to let Tanjiro see the machine doll, Kotetsu took Tanjiro to find the place where Tokidou Muichiro and the machine doll fought.
Tanjiro and Kotetsu stood in the distance, watching Torumuichiro in a fierce battle with the machine doll. The aura he exuded during the battle was even more powerful than the oppression given to him by the Fallen Princess.
Tanjiro saw the way the machine dolls fought, and he felt a sense of déjà vu deep in his heart.
