In this way, Gu Mo successfully settled in the village temporarily.

The whole process went very smoothly, especially with Kikyo helping to talk. The villagers didn't seem to have any concerns at all and just packed up a clean and tidy empty house for him.

After all, in this war era, many places have been left empty due to famine and war, and this village is no exception... There are always not enough people, but there are too many empty houses. Only in this aspect,

The village can be very generous.

And the villagers are also happy to hear about this. Many people think that the village is about to turn around——

After all, not long ago, a convincing miko-sama came to settle down, followed closely by a powerful samurai, who can easily defeat monsters. It can be said that the village's defense system has been upgraded to N in a row.

This is great news for a village that has experienced famine, war, robbers, monsters and other ravages.

It's like an African chief used SSR twice in a row in a short period of time.

While I am so happy that I wake up laughing in my dreams, I can’t help but worry about whether I have completely overdrawn my luck for the rest of my life.

——It’s night.

A faint candlelight lit up in the room. The flame of the candle seemed very stable inside the house. The wind and airflow outside could not interfere with its flame. Although the light was not very bright, especially for a future that has experienced the modern electrical revolution.

For humans, the basic function of night lighting is still fine.

Gu Mo placed the projected candles in the corners around the room and fixed the candlesticks on the wooden walls or pillars. After all, the quality was not enough and the quantity was enough. The light of a single candle might be weak, but as long as he lit a few more

Wouldn’t it be better to just root it out?

He lit the last candle, held it in his hand, looked at the brightened room, and exhaled with satisfaction.

Perhaps the best use of projection magic is this, to use it to project some things that are consumables in the first place. This is the real use of things.

"It's still a bit crude, but this is where my DIY skills come into play..." He looked around at the simple houses with wooden walls, log pillars, rough wooden floors and slightly tattered mats, and couldn't help but

He shook his head repeatedly, the level of shabbiness was worthy of the song "Inscription on a Humble Room".

Of course, this was the case in an era when productivity was backward, and the village was indeed poor. He felt that he could not expect too much.

And the more this happens, the more obvious the convenience and benefits brought by the skill of projection magic are. He is now extremely grateful that the most advanced skill he has on hand is such an ability. And it has reached the level, strength and efficiency of LV4.

, duration, etc., all have indescribable qualitative changes.

The skill level of LV0 symbolizes the basic introduction and the first glimpse of the door. It can be regarded as the degree to which you have mastered the basics and can use this ability stably.

What does the LV4 skill level indicate? Comprehension or proficiency?

Gu Mo has some difficulty defining this point. His current skills and proficiency in other aspects have not improved much. Skill upgrading is not a simple matter. And the only skill that can be directly upgraded to LV4 like a rocket is the current one.

This projection magic.

But it was a coincidence and an accident, and he jumped directly from LV0 to LV4, and the upgrade process in the middle was directly ignored. Gu Mo didn't know what the skill levels in the middle represented, and there was no clear comparison.

Therefore, it is naturally difficult to grade them in detail based on one's own feelings.

However, it does not affect his current use and understanding of how much his projection magic has been strengthened compared to when he first started.

"Let's hang a mirror too..."

Gu Mo thought about it for a while, then approached the wall, then reached out and fixed a large half-length mirror that appeared in his hand to the wall. Then he looked at his own image reflected in the mirror, and passed through this medium smoothly.

The system page is opened.

This can be regarded as the epic enhancement brought by this skill.

But at this time, there was nothing interesting about the system panel. Gu Mo took a few steps back, looked at the mirror hanging on the wall, tilted his head and thought...

Why do I always feel that something is not quite right? It seems nondescript and full of a sense of disharmony? His eyes looked around, and then he suddenly realized that modern industrial products appeared alone in this simple ancient wooden house.

Inside, the painting styles are obviously in conflict.

"It would be better to put wallpaper on..."

Gu Mo murmured to himself, looking around the room quickly, looking for any place that could be improved. Although it was difficult to create a luxurious living environment that could compare with modernity, after all, many things involved electrical problems, and he

Haven’t learned to master the too complicated blueprint——

The upper limit of projection magic is not low, but due to the user's own conditions, it may be difficult to tap into the true potential of this skill in a short period of time.

"The floor can also be re-paved..."

"Let's change the door too..."

"Can we put a fireplace in here?"

Gu Mo's thinking moved extremely quickly, and he did not start with things with complex structures and operating principles, nor did he prepare to project modern instruments in a whimsical way. But even so, the entire simple wooden house was transformed by his superhuman handiwork.

With DIY technology, it can still be transformed quickly.

But it is an abandoned house with no one in it, so the village probably won't have any objections to it... Moreover, it is all the result of projection magic. One of its characteristics is that if it loses its magic power, it will disappear into thin air.

It's like he has covered the appearance of the house with a layer of real illusion, giving the house a theme skin. If necessary, just remove it and most places will return to their original appearance.

.After all, most of them are directly overwritten rather than actually replacing anything.

Not long after.

He stood in the center of the brand-new room, wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and admired the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.

Tuk tuk tuk——

There was a knock on the door outside. Gu Mo blinked, turned around, walked to the door, and opened it.

Under the night outside the door, there were two people, one large and one small, a miko wearing white clothes and scarlet hakama, and a little girl with bare feet. The latter was carrying a bamboo basket with some rice balls and berries in it.

After seeing the door being opened, the little girl shouted in surprise: "Big brother——"

However, the witch couldn't help but frown, looking over someone's shoulder and behind him, observing the changes in the entire room.

Although they look exactly the same on the outside, they are completely different on the inside.

The originally pitted and decayed floor has now been replaced by neat and smooth stacked mats; the rough wooden walls have disappeared at this moment, and what appears is smooth wallpaper with a red brick pattern, creating a simple and solid atmosphere.

Texture; there is a fireplace in the corner inside, and the fire inside is burning brightly.

There are also neat desks and clean beds...

Even the shabby windows, half of the windows and doors were drooped down, and now they have been replaced with transparent glass windows...

You can see the thick night outside. The clean sky blue curtains on both sides are separated and hung elegantly on both sides of the window sill. They are not closed yet...

How should I put it... It was obviously a slum in the Warring States Period before, but now the changes brought about by the face-lift and comprehensive decoration are simply astonishing. The shrine maiden also looked a little stunned. She withdrew her gaze and looked at the person in front of her again, and found that the other person also

He is no longer dressed like the down-and-out warrior he used to be.

Gu Mo didn't care. He just wanted to communicate with the villagers better before. Now, of course, he doesn't have to put on any pretense anymore. Of course, he does it as he feels comfortable.

"What are you...?"

Looking at the bamboo basket in the little girl's hand, he made some guesses, but still asked.

"Xiaoye's family is very grateful to you for saving her before. They were originally planning to come here, but Xiaoye insisted on coming to express her gratitude by herself, so I brought her here with me..." The witch withdrew her gaze and said concisely, without saying anything to her.

What do you think of Gu Mo’s new house decoration and new dress?

Maybe she has some doubts in her heart, and she may have some guesses, but she doesn't know how to explore and pursue them.

"Ah, that's not actually..." Gu Mo shook his head and waved his hands to refuse: "I don't need this anymore, I'd better take it back."

"Big brother..." The little girl suddenly felt a little frustrated, looking at him with big black eyes.

"It's better to accept it, otherwise, they won't feel at ease." Kikyo said calmly.

Whether in the former Maple Village or in this small village now, she continues to do her job as a shrine maiden, using her medical skills to treat illnesses and save people, and using her spiritual power to fight monsters, and every time the villagers are grateful to her.

, she will accept some things from time to time instead of rejecting them every time.

Although she does not need it, she also knows that blind rejection is not a good thing.

Sometimes you have to learn to accept the gratitude of others, so that others will feel at ease instead of thinking wildly...

After frowning and thinking about it, Gu Mo also nodded, then reached out to take the basket: "Then I thank you, Xiaoye... By the way, don't stand outside, the night wind is a bit strong, come in and have a seat.

”

"Hmm..." The little girl suddenly became happy, smiling happily, and nodded repeatedly.

Kikyo was about to refuse, but found that Xiaoye had agreed faster than herself. She was silent for a moment and didn't say anything, probably because she didn't want to spoil her interest.

"Sit down..."

Gu Mo pulled open the wicker chair beside the table and invited the two of them to sit down. Then he also sat down on the wicker chair opposite. He reached out and took out a few upside-down white porcelain cups from the tray beside him, and then carried

He picked up the teapot and poured a few cups of tea, and at the same time said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the conditions are limited, and the hospitality was not good..."

The witch looked at the surrounding decorations calmly, and looked at him deeply when she heard this, which meant that she didn't know the word "Versailles".

"Brother, your place is so beautiful... How did you do it? This house wasn't like this before, right?" Xiaoye's face was filled with shock, and her innocent big eyes turned into starry eyes. When had she ever seen such a scene before?

, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, everything she saw was strange and she just felt that her horizons had been opened.

"This is very simple. If you have hands...ahem, because I am a monster."

Gu Mo casually started to make nonsense, but in the middle of the sentence, he felt that this was not good because the person opposite was just a little girl, so he changed his mind decisively in the second half.

"Monster, monster?" Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, then she pouted her lips, as if she didn't believe it at all, "No way, brother, you are lying, how can you be a monster, and sister Kikyo doesn't even believe it?"
To be continued...
