Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 118

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 118]

Charles glanced at the back room of the castle, where the servants were cooking bread and cheese.

“Can’t you let me eat something before leaving?”

“Go away, there’s no place for free food for people like you. If you don’t leave, I’ll call the guards.” Hammer threatened.

His style and posture made Ciel very unhappy, but Ciel didn’t want to fight here, so he took his anger and turned away.

Ciel felt a little disappointed that he didn’t get a meal.

“There is no order in the countryside, and the taverns are closed.” Charles mentioned what he had seen and heard.

“Yes, yes,” Hamer said impatiently, “that’s what farmers are like. They like to find their own way. You go find the grass roots and mushrooms. We have a banquet. I took great pains and invited Chef Bao Bao. Rui, and a supply of 433-year-old Chetra wine.”

“I want to go too.” Xia Er looked at the tall main building behind him. It was evening and the lights were bright inside.

“You want to go? I repeat, if you sell me the horse, I can take you in.” Hammer glanced at Shire.

“There is no other way?” Charles asked.

“Of course not, Earl’s banquet, people with certain status will be invited.” He laughed.

“You seem to be of high status.”

“It’s normal, but it’s still better than someone like you… I seem to be too rude, I’m sorry.” He put his hands behind his back, “How can I respect you? People like you should live at the bottom of society. It’s more than an opportunity to develop your own horse so much. You know what? I’ve decided to forgive you, and I can let you stay there and eat some bread.”

“Thanks so much.” Charles shrugged and went to the back room to share the cheese with the servants.

After a while, the groom brought another warhorse over. The horse was wearing a gorgeous coat with clean white fur. Hammer stopped to watch it for a while, and let the groom lead it into the stable, then hurriedly stepped up to the main gate. .

“That’s Lord Chris’ horse, the earl is back.” Hammer looked relaxed.

“If I see him, he will give me an invitation and invite me in for a jug of wine,” said Charles.

“You’re dreaming.” Hammer shook his head.

“Yeah.” A servant next to him complained, “It’s good if you have something to eat, otherwise you can only go outside to find mushrooms.”

Charles originally thought so, but he heard footsteps, and soon saw Chris de Forest coming, a middle-aged man in full armor. He had a firm demeanor and a clean face. They were astonished.

“My lord, I wish you peace.” Hammer saluted happily.

“I…I’m sorry…” Chris reached out to Ciel.

Ciel stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chris. The other’s hand was rough, holding a spear for a long time, and the tiger’s mouth was hard.

“Mr. Grani, I really miss you.” Chris said sincerely, “Please come with me, we have prepared twenty-four feasts, a hundred barrels of wine, and the best bard in the area, you It’s a great honor to be here. It’s nowhere near as bustling as Ashtree Hall, or as grand as your sanctuary, but we’ve done our best.”

“No need.” Charles shook his head. “Your servant suggested that I find mushrooms in the suburbs to eat.”

“Please don’t mind, you are our savior.” Chris looked at Ciel gently, “Please don’t make it difficult for me, sir, if I fail to entertain the chief hero of the war, the gods will condemn my arrogance and incompetence. Li. It was my fault, I should have sent more messengers to look for you, please forgive me.”

Chris took Ciel by the shoulders with a friendly attitude, and took him through the courtyard with kindness, and people all looked at him.

Chapter 146 Expansive Gifts

Chris took Charles through the long corridor of the castle and entered the banquet hall. The face was warm and bright. The long table was covered with patterned plaid and filled with dishes. Before the guests were seated, they stood around each other, in groups of three and two, talking and laughing. continuously.

“I’m very happy.” Chris and Ciel stood by the wall, and several servants brought them glasses filled with wine. “You fulfilled your promise to destroy demons for us.”

“This is the hunter’s job.” Ciel nodded.

“How did the farmers summon that kind of monster?” Chris was puzzled. “Who is pointing the way?”

“Dark wizard, Shangluoman has been infiltrated everywhere.” Ciel didn’t want to reveal too much, “We will try to deal with it, but we also need your cooperation.”

“We will spare no effort.” Chris nodded, “Has your Excellency been staying nearby these days?”

“The countryside is screaming, the situation is bad, I don’t know what the adults are going to do.”

“After the annihilation of the rebellion, people will recover from the state of mania and anxiety.” A shadow was cast in Chris’s eyes, “…”

“But enough damage has been done.”

“The people of Linbianbao are tenacious and strong, and they are not afraid of temporary chaos. It’s just that the situation this year is more difficult. Many villages have been destroyed and the people have been displaced. It is my dereliction of duty.”

“It’s all about war taxes.”

“Everything has a long history, and it is not a tax that can trigger such a large-scale rebellion. Farmers live too hard, if someone walks up to them, gathers them together, and tells them that as long as they resist the lord and overthrow the nobles, they can get It’s easy for them to disagree about a better life. Even if they have good advice, telling them that this will only lead to more pain and confusion, it’s hard for them to understand right away, and it’s only after it’s happened that they regret what they’ve done. It’s too late, sorry, all we can do is heal the wounds and resolve the conflict,” Chris said.

“Everyone just wants to live.”

“Life is not easy. It is easy for the poor to think that aristocrats live a leisurely and leisurely life, but this is not the case. We have defended the territory for half our lives. The Forrest family has guarded the border of Loman for generations. It has been 300 years since the ‘dragon rider’ Bahamud. From the beginning, I am already the 15th Earl of Woodside Castle. Over the years, I have tried my best to prevent the barbarians from ravaging the land of Lorman, and I am not afraid of your ridicule.

“Does the barbarian move a lot?” Ciel wondered.

“The barbarians in Frost Falls are changing rapidly, and there are frequent internal wars. There are always powerful tribes who are tired of the bitter cold. When they hear about their ancestors’ feat of destroying major countries across the continent, they have the will to fight, burn their own villages and fields, and migrate with their families along the way. Keep fighting with the local tribes, open up a bloody path, and finally get close to Loman.”

“Then they will attack.”

“It wasn’t them, these people dragged their families with cattle and sheep, moving slowly, and attacking us were the original barbarians whose living space was oppressed, the land they lived in was seized by the invaders who left their hometown, so they had to find new land, That is, they’ll venture across the Waring River into the world of Loman in search of a new home to live in. If I don’t answer their earnestly or fiercely written letters, they’ll take up arms and take a piece by force. Fertile soil. That’s why I have to call on the whole land to pay extra taxes, I have to assemble a large army, and the same thing happened again, the barbarian tribes are assembling, a tribe calling themselves the Blood Walkers are starting from the homeland of Frostfall and attacking all the way west , victorious, and beyond the frontier, the Hogtooth Tribe, the Mountain Crow Tribe, and the Ancient Treescar Tribe unite and prepare to enter Forestside Castle this fall.”

“…the situation would be dangerous.”

“We lost a new battle, the Baniesta brothers used monsters to break my camp, my son died in the chaos, they didn’t find his body, but I saw him punched by a monster’s fist Crushed. I lost more than 3,000 people that night.” Chris sighed, “…the Baniesta brothers still refused to surrender.”

“This is a celebration banquet.” Charles looked at the banquet table.

“Of course, we celebrate the staged victory, not the final victory. The Baniesta brothers will continue to fight stubbornly, the war will drag on into the winter, and we will face two sides. Brothers will continue to invade the village and take food. On the other hand, the barbarians outside the major borders will soon invade. Their chiefs are surrounded by oath warriors, well-equipped, brave and unparalleled, not afraid of death, enough to withstand my command. cavalry, if they are allowed to tear apart the line, the whole army will collapse. You know, I am worried, I am extremely worried.”

“Count Rene’s side…”

“I love him, I love him deeply, I love his money and the army madly, but how could he help us?”

“Yes, he will lock the border.” Charles nodded, “…and the king, you should also know.”

“The secret letter from the king’s special envoy said, His Majesty Eduardo… It’s not normal, I can’t judge, Limbian Castle is far away from the west coast, if the content is true, we can’t get support from the royal family. Oh, the Knights of the Hammer of Loman, As long as they are willing to send a thousand knights, they can solve this urgent need. I know the farmers are under pressure, but it must be now? Must it be now? The subjects have the way their subjects should live.”

They were talking about serious subjects, but at this time a few clowns rushed into the banquet hall, and they strummed and sang, laughed loudly, and played the hilarious burlesque “I lost money today,” which raised eyebrows.

“Look at me and say something depressing to the guests.” Chris shook his head, “Mr. Grani, please enjoy yourself.”

“Thank you.” Charles greeted Chris.

Earl Chris instructed several of the servants, who entertained Charles, and seated him in a very good seat, with the backrests upholstered in leather and very comfortable to sit on.

Seeing that the others hadn’t moved the knife and fork, Ciel didn’t rush to eat.

A nobleman beside him turned his head, and when he saw Ciel, his face turned pale.

“Good evening.” Ciel looked at him happily. The other party was one of the nobles who were rescued from Hulun Village. He boasted about Haikou that night and wanted to give Ciel a hundred acres of land.

“Night…good…” The noble wiped his sweat.

“Don’t know your name yet? I’m Ciel.”

“…I’m Wicks of Plague Village.” The noble turned his head to apologize to the others, then looked back at Ciel, who remembered that he was wearing tattered underwear that night, but now he is well-dressed and has some smears in his hair. Oil.

“Your Excellency, remember the promise that day.” Ciel didn’t like any detours, and went straight to the point.

“Remember, but…” he delayed, “I’ll talk about it later, you see, sir, I can neither bring you a title deed nor find a priest to establish an agreement, or wait for one, we both have more time. when?”

“It’s safer to escape.”

“Thanks to you, except that Sir Will tripped over a branch, Kate the knight was lost by the goblin, and Lord Roland stumbled and drowned…most of them survived.” Weeks was a little helpless.

“The others should also be here.” Ciel glanced around, and indeed saw a few more familiar faces. Those knights were a little nervous when they saw Ciel.

“We are all just and kind people and will not treat you badly.” Weeks sounded like a perfunctory.

“Other people are more or less gold coins, but the land you promised is special, so I have to think about it.” Xia Er did the math. After winning this promised land, the food supply will be quite sufficient in the future of the church.

“Hi…” Weeks changed his face, “You are extorting.”

“That’s what you said.” Ciel didn’t bother to talk to him. “If you cheat, the life you earned from fleeing in the dark will be lost in another way.”

“…” Weeks looked gloomy and uncertain, obviously taking away his enthusiasm for the banquet.

Chris picked up the cup at the banquet chief and congratulated everyone.

“We won the battle of Little Rapids, and we swept away the main rebel force. We would like to thank Viscount Pinster and Lord Baluda for their dedication. Their decisive charge established the victory.”

“Oh!” Everyone applauded.

“But this war cannot be won by us alone. Here, I would like to introduce to you the real hero, Master Ciel Grani of Ashtree Hall. He is the best demon hunter and the master of the Grey Blade. Demon killer. If he hadn’t eliminated three demons for us, we would not have been able to win. We all know how powerful the demons are in combat, and mortals can’t stop them. It must be done by a brave man with extraordinary skills like Master Ciel. It can be dealt with,” Chris explained.

“Great.”

“It’s amazing!” People agreed, and some looked strange.

“Master Ciel, is there anything you want to say?” Chris looked at Ciel.

Ciel whispered to Weeks next to him: “If you don’t make up your mind, I’m afraid I will scold you in front of everyone.”

Weeks’ face looked worse than death.

“Okay, okay.” He surrendered in full, “I’ll give you that land, you deserve it, I’ll give you the whole village, I have a piece called Vykuvi in my name Small village, don’t look down on it.”

Charles stood up and raised his glass to greet the attendees:

“Everyone, I’m very honored to have the opportunity to be here. It’s my job to hunt down demons. I just did what I was supposed to do. The public doesn’t know how dangerous the power they summoned is, and this evil power must be destroyed. At the same time, I would also like to thank Mr. Weeks from Plug Village, who promised to give Hunter Sanctuary a village. I am very happy to have a piece of property here. We will perform our duties better, to relieve the evil of evil for you, to eradicate local evil spirits, and to eradicate monsters.”

“I also donated 100 acres of fertile land to His Excellency Ciel in my own name.” What Ciel did not expect was that Count Chris also responded immediately.

“I gave 200 gold coins to Your Excellency Ciel, thank you for saving your life.” One of the rescued knights was drinking, when he looked up and saw Ciel, his eyes lit up.

“Your Excellency Shire rescued me from the danger and darkness. These silks and satins are my grateful gifts on behalf of the West family.”

“And these jewelry, Sir Charles must accept them.”

“I also……”

“I come!”

People judged Ciel’s ability in their hearts, and thought that Ciel and the temple behind him were worth making friends, so they rushed to donate. Ciel smiled slightly, and probably knew what everyone was thinking.

If he had land in Woodside Keep, the charr had to rush there from Ashtree Hall to guard when the barbarians invaded.

But Ciel didn’t mind this at all, because it was impossible for the barbarians to stop after Forestside Fort. Once Forestside Fort fell, the adjacent Ashtree Hall would definitely be attacked.

In any case, enjoy the feast in front of you.

Charles thought.

Chapter 147 Life

The mashed potatoes were great, the cheese sausages were fragrant, and the roast leg of lamb was generous. If it was a private dinner, Shire would eat all five meatballs, but too many people were there and he decided to save some for others.

The band members performed jointly on the small stage in the corner of the banquet hall. They came from a parade float nearby. Similar performance organizations were scattered all over the countryside of Loman. They would ride on a richly decorated cart, and the whole group would perform everywhere in the car. The content includes drama, music and animal performances and is now employed by Earl Chris.

The music is not professional, but enough to add to the fun.

Halfway through the banquet, the main event begins.

In 433, the whole territory of Lohmann was warm and humid, and the grapes were full of grains, which was very suitable for winemaking. The wines produced in this year can be described as high-quality wines.

The servant poured wine for the distinguished guests one by one, and the gorilla wine was poured from the glass bottle and slowly filled the wine glass in front of Shire. He saw that the wine bottle was painted with the family crest of the Chetra family in Rain Bay Hall, a string of gold grapes.

The Shire had never heard of their history other than making wine. Even during the barbarian occupation, the Chetra family just kept their jobs and refused to intervene in any form of political struggle, so they have survived to this day.
