Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 106

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 106]

“We will never know the thoughts of the nobles. Maybe they are just bluffing. When did the war suddenly cease, and they suddenly began to marry and form alliances, no one understands.” Ciel thought about it, the noble wars are always unpredictable, and they betrayed the alliance in an instant. alternately.

“It’s best not to spill over here.” Ines sighed, “I just want to live a peaceful life.”

“Which nobles in the south rebelled?”

“It’s not like those famous families, who are of the same spirit. One person’s mother may be another person’s cousin. The son of this noble family has the right to inherit that noble family’s territory. Let’s put it this way, Baudelaire of the tide karaoke hall. The Er family, the Lafron family in Honey Hall, the Fourville family in Pine Oak Hall, and the Gawther family in Quiet Flow Hall have all joined. Hey, the Gawther family is a traditional rebel, and I can never trust them. Loyal, but they make good guys too. You know Alex Gauthier, who stabbed Glockx ‘Bruder’ in the back, avenging ‘good boy’ Guy and Queen Salia.”

“I seem to have heard of this.” Ciel thought for a while, “Glocks led the army to break the west coast city wall and enter the Purple Flag Palace. I forgot about it later.”

“‘Good boy’ Guy was an unrecognized young king at the time. In order to stop Glocks, he helped the 82-year-old Queen Salia to the balcony and made Glocks back.”

“Now that I think about it,” Charles said, “Even after seeing the dying Her Majesty, Glocks still ordered the arrows to be fired, killing the good boy Guy and Queen Salia.”

“The Grand Duke Alex, who accompanied him in the rebellion, refused to accept it, so he took the army of the Gother family against the water and killed Glocks in the rebellion, and Alex became the hero of Loman. The Crusaders guarded the country and became the first Protector of the Kingdom. The current Lord Protector is not as bold as him.” Ines shrugged.

“Maybe Lord Valentine is also influenced by demons,” Ciel guessed.

“Speaking of demons, although we are recruiting new recruits recently, several cases of missing persons and demon attacks have been reported to us in the countryside. We must deal with them seriously.” Ines reminded.

“I will deal with it.” Although he is the master of the temple, he can’t stay away from the accident now. He still has to take risks himself. Although the recruits have been trained, they still need time to grow.

Among the three demon hunters currently in active duty, Hugo has to teach others swordsmanship, Ines manages the affairs of the temple, but Ciel himself has to run around.

When will trusted newcomers join?

Charles pondered the question.

After a while, Luo Dan ran over to look for him.

“Master.” People are used to calling Ciel the master, “There are strange guys looking for you outside.”

“Strange?” Charles was puzzled. “How strange can it be? Is he dangerous?”

“It’s not dangerous, it’s just… mysterious.” Luo Dan scratched his head.

Ciel came to the outside of the sanctuary and met a particularly tall man.

He was wearing a very beautiful silver armor with a dark green cloak and a hood of the same dark green color, a pure white wooden quiver and longbow, and a sword of a different material around his waist, which did not seem to be forged with metal. Instead, it looks like it’s made of stone.

The most important thing is that he is really tall… Ciel stands at the top of the gate steps. He is still two or three steps away from Ciel, and his height is equal to that of Ciel. If he stood on the same level, he would at least be taller than Ciel. Fifty centimeters higher.

“Who are you?” Charles was confused.

He lifted his hood to reveal his pale skin. This was an elf, as tall and thin as a legend, with extremely handsome features, delicate skin, deep eyes, a gentle expression, pointed ears protruding upwards, and hair the same color as his skin. snow white.

“Spit.” Gladiu made a sharp voice.

“What’s the matter with you? You don’t like elves?”

“Its soul makes me nauseous.” Gladiu hid in the depths of Ciel’s soul and never spoke again.

Ines came up from behind and shouted in surprise: “Varanaia!”

The elf called Varanaya slowly smiled kindly and stood there, staring at Ines calmly.

“Come in.” Seeing the other side’s miraculous movements, Ciel was a little incomprehensible, “It’s too cold outside.”

Varanaya closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and silently felt the surrounding atmosphere.

“Is he always like this?” Charles stared at him for a long time, still not sure what he wanted to do.

“We have to get used to him, we can’t make him get used to us, that’s how elves are.” Ines was obviously used to it, “We used to be in an adventure group, and he always troubled new people who knew him, but it’s okay. , if you urge him, he will pause his ‘meditation’.”

“I’m fine.” Ciel observed Varanaya patiently, and the elf was as described by Ines, just like a plant, and there was no change in it for a long time.

After about ten minutes, Valanelle slowly walked into the sanctuary. As he walked, he carefully observed the surrounding furnishings, and then sat down gently on a bench in the hall, still without any obvious movement.

“You should say hello, you’re so rude,” Ines said.

“I’m sorry.” Valanelle’s voice was also very slow and soft, as if speaking quickly and loudly would disturb something.

“It’s okay.” Ciel couldn’t help but speak to him in a particularly gentle tone.

“You are the master of this place.” Valanelle stood up, saluted Ciel, and said a sentence in a language that Ciel did not understand. The tone was very pleasant to Ciel, like listening to the flowers of the Prince of Voice Just like the punch line, it’s very pleasant and makes people want to listen to it all the time.

“It’s Elvish, which means ‘Hello, I wish you well, it’s a pleasure to meet you’.” Ines explained to Ciel enthusiastically, “He said that when he saw strangers.”

Valanelle gently placed his hands on his chest and looked at them softly.

“He has lived for many years, at least 500 years old.” Ines easily recounted the fact that surprised Ciel.

“Over 500 years old?” Charles was surprised.

“I’ve lived longer than that, living in your stupid brain,” Gladiu said.

“I received a letter, I want to join here.” Varanelle said respectfully to Ciel.

“I’m looking forward to it.” Charles nodded, “What do you know?”

“I know many things, I know archery, sword dance, wheel blade, armor and weapon care, sharpening, calculation, eloquence, stealth, disguise, dodge…”

“He can do everything,” Ines introduced, “it’s just that his brain can’t keep up with the rhythm of our society. For example, you ask him to calculate a math problem, get the problem today, and tell you the answer two years later.”

“What will he do in the past two years?” Ciel was puzzled.

“Planting trees.” Varanelle smiled. “Is there a place here for me to plant trees?”

“We have a nice garden… well, second question, why join the sanctuary?”

“I have to fight off-paintings.”

“Painting foreign objects?”

“The kind of ‘abnormal’ you are fighting against should not exist in the beautiful picture of this world, so we call it ‘outside the painting’.” Varanelle explained kindly.

“Um…last question…are you afraid of demons, or ‘foreign objects’?”

The corners of Valanelle’s mouth turned down, showing a serious expression.

“Human, I’m going to tell you a fact, a terrible fact, maybe you won’t believe it, but it’s true.”

“Please.” Ciel didn’t know that something would be very scary.

“In other parts of the world, something is destroying the cyan painting, and on the other end of that crack, there is a powerful, uniquely capable off-painting that is constantly grinding, cutting, trying to smash a gap, Polluting our pure cyan. This will all be done in the next few decades, so we have to wait to fight the off-painting. Hey… but you probably won’t believe it, because, this thing, it sounds It’s so bizarre. But our family has been preparing for more than 2,000 years in order to fight against foreign objects…”

Ciel stretched out his hand and shook him firmly: “I totally believe this story! You are the person we are looking for, welcome to be a demon hunter.”

Chapter 131 New Years

On the last day of Second Age 476, which was New Year’s Eve, Ciel decided to let go of his thoughts, think about nothing, and have a good rest.

He was lying on the bed as usual, and Alicia brushed her hair in the mirror.

“Is it my illusion or is it really noisy outside?” Alicia listened, “It seems that someone is laughing and someone is yelling.”

“It’s best not to make trouble.” Charles put on his clothes and went out to have a look.

He met Ines head-on, she held a black scabbard and held it up to Ciel: “Happy New Year.”

“New Year… Happy New Year.” Ciel didn’t come back to his senses for a while, and picked up the scabbard.

“Try it, it suits your weapon.” Ines urged.

Ciel inserted the gray knife into the sheath. The sheath was larger than the size of the knife. Although it was not a tight fit, it could still be fully accommodated. There was a card slot at the mouth of the swallow, and it was locked immediately after it was put into the sheath.

He couldn’t put it down. One side of the sheath was painted with thorns and roses, and the other side was pure black, which was very delicate.

“That’s great.” Ciel tied the rope of the scabbard to his belt and swayed by his side as he walked, feeling much better than hiding the knife in his arms before, “Thank you.”

“You’re happy and I’m happy too.” Ines said happily.

“I never thought someone would give me a gift.” Charles was surprised, “I will return the gift too.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Do you give gifts to everyone?” Charles saw that she was still holding a few gadgets.

“Of course, only once a year.” Ines smiled.

Ciel pressed the scabbard on his belt with his hand, and it felt good to have someone caring.

“What’s your gift for Alicia?” Ciel asked.

“Idiot, how can you ask such a question.” Ines pouted.

“It was my fault.”

“Okay, Master Ciel, enjoy the new year.” Ines walked away briskly holding the other gifts.

“Do you like sheaths? Gladius?” Charles asked inwardly.

“Ordinary metal is not enough to wrap this sharp weapon. You should use heaven and earth as a container and polish it with storms and lightning.” Gladiu whispered, “…Of course, this is not bad. It has a unique aesthetic…”

Charles returned to the room.

“Ines? What did she do?” Alicia stared at Ciel.

“She gave me something.” Ciel took off the scabbard from his belt, “Isn’t it beautiful?”

“She! Give you something!” Alicia jumped up, “Why?”

“New Year’s Eve.”

“I’m going to buy you presents too.” Alicia opened the money box and grabbed a handful of gold from it. “What do you want?”

“I like it, I like it…” Charles thought for a while, “It doesn’t matter, I’ll buy it myself.” I want to buy a horse.

“You’re not allowed to buy it yourself, I have to buy it.” Alicia waved her hand, she bent over to Ciel, and touched the scabbard, “How much is this thing? I have to get something more expensive than it.”

“Maybe 2 or 3 gold coins.” Ciel felt that it would not be very expensive.

“Wait for me.” Alicia put on a leather cloak, put on a windbreaker cap, and left briskly.

What will she buy me?

Ciel couldn’t help but start thinking about it. According to Alicia’s careless temperament, she might go to the shoe store to buy a pair of beautiful new boots, and then try them on and find that they don’t fit at all.

He left the room and went to the lobby on the third floor to watch Hugo train the second batch of recruits.

Charles listed Hugo, Ines, Madden, Duvin, and Luo Dan as the first recruits, and those who joined the church after them were listed as the second recruits. Many people came here. They learned that the church was recruiting people extensively, hoping to learn the true skills of hunting demons.

Obviously, their quality varies, and Shire can’t expect every recruit to be highly skilled in martial arts and firm in character, and everyone needs training.

Ciel believes that mortals can become good hunters through systematic and correct training, and finally can compete with demons. Team of hunters.

When Ciel entered the hall, it happened to be a routine swordsmanship training.

“That’s it, Benoit, that’s it.” Hugo demonstrated sword-wielding for hunter recruits.

Bennot said nothing, just silently waving the wooden sword in his hand.

He is 19 years old, with short hair and a newly trimmed beard. He has no parents and no mother since he was a child. He lives on the streets and makes a living doing odd jobs in the port. Such a person is easily absorbed by the Thieves Guild, but Ciel took the lead and set the Thieves Guild on fire. Seriously injured.

With nowhere to go, Benoit joins here after hearing that it is profitable to be a demon hunter.

But he has always been a loner, unwilling to listen to other people’s opinions, no matter practice or eating, he is alone.

In other words, somewhat autistic and obviously not good at teamwork.

Ciel was thinking about what to do with him, and they could try to correct Bennott’s character and get him used to working with other people and fighting the demons as a team.

But on the other hand, he feels that it is very cruel to forcibly change the character of others. Maybe Benoit can take the road of an independent hunter without anyone’s help, but that requires him to become particularly strong enough to face everything alone. challenge.

“He will die, he will die alone,” Gladius cursed sinisterly, “Weak…very weak…mental weakness…people who can’t communicate with others are not human at all, introversion is the original sin of the loser. ”

As the weapons collided, Ciel observed Benoit’s movements. He was very eager to win, so the rhythm of the battle was firmly controlled by Hugo, and he was quickly defeated. Then he lowered his eyes and walked aside.

“Come on.” Hugo comforted, and then began to train the next recruit.

The other recruit was older and more mature in appearance. He fought a few swords against Hugo, and his posture was similar.

Charles remembered that his name was Morgan. He was a person with few serious words, but he was eager to treat people, and he would use honorifics when he met him.

Morgan’s father was killed in battle against the winged demon.

Ciel still remembered the scene that day. The winged demon threw a green fire, and the army led by Rocher collapsed in a corner, causing countless casualties.

In order to eliminate demons and avenge his father, Morgan decided to devote himself to the cause of hunting demons.
