Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 138

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 138]

Even the guards were eventually dismissed, so only Ciel and Garnier were left here.

“Tell me.” Charles sat on the table and poured himself a glass of red wine, “What the hell do you think?”

“Accident.” Garnier was nervous.

“Let’s sort things out, how on earth do you have such good archery skills?”

“…” Garnier took a deep breath.

“People say that your mind has been stolen by the dark wizard. Is it Garnier or a villain who is good at changing people’s minds right now in front of me?” Ciel looked at him coldly.

“No…don’t be like this…” Garnier shrank back.

“Fatherslayers will be punished the most severely, you will be beheaded, and then reviled by thousands, the Alberta family will be dusted from now on, people will no longer respect the green hyacinth seal, the new ruler family will be Enter this castle, and your reign will end in this generation,” whispered the Ciel.

“…I don’t want…I don’t want this…” Garnier said terrified.

“Tell me, Garnier, what happened?” Charles continued. “Trust me.”

“I believe you?”

“I saved your life, Garnier, I am your extremely important and reliable assistant, I am the master demon hunter, I will solve all the problems you encounter, Garnier, don’t panic, don’t be afraid, Just trust me all and leave things to me to handle.”

“Trust you… leave the matter to you… and it’s settled?” Garnier repeated dully.

“Yeah, tell me all the details and I’ll save you, I’m the only one who can help, everyone else only thinks of their own interests, but I’ll keep you alive, I’ll keep you alive , I will let you inherit authority safely, without risk and worry, and the Hunter’s Sanctuary will always be your best and last resort.” Ciel patted his shoulder.

“Charle…” Garnier’s eyes flushed, “I… I can only rely on you, will you let me live? Will you let them not judge me? I want to live… They say I will be killed…”

“I won’t let you be killed,” Ciel promised.

Garnier burst into tears and took out a talisman from his bosom: “It’s it, the wandering entertainer said it can make me hit a target, it guides my arm, it has magic power! Once I wear it, I can automatically aim at all the objects when I draw the bow. The goal—until it suddenly leads to my father!”

Chapter 172 Justice

“Bring it to me,” Charles said.

After taking the amulet from Garnier, Charles looked at it carefully. It looked completely harmless. It was made of bronze, with an engraved image of a hunter shooting with a bow on the front, and a metal buckle on the back that allowed it to hang on on the belt.

The talisman clearly contained a spell, and Ciel heard a subtle flow of mana.

“Hold it as far away from me as possible.” Garnier sighed.

“Let’s clarify things to help sort out our thoughts.” Charles stared at him, “Who gave you this amulet?”

“The day before the hunt…I was walking in the countryside and saw the wandering floats, their caravans stopped by the road, they made a bonfire, oh…I sat down there, I thought they didn’t know me, I Share my concerns with them, and one of them just… give me this talisman, he told me, it’s going to give me a shot,” Garnier narrated in a low voice.

“Never believe in gifts that cost nothing.” Ciel couldn’t help but think of a saying, free is the most expensive.

“I don’t know, I… I still failed, I couldn’t hit anything, until I put on this talisman, and shooting suddenly became easier, my arms moved naturally, aiming at the target. It was weird at first, but After I get used to it, I can hunt any animal with it, oh…why…” Garnier was deeply regretful, his eyes reddened.

“Someone wants to harm Rene-sama, unfortunately you are being used.” Ciel stroked the amulet.

“If death can atone for my sins, if death can wash away my shame… I am willing.” Garnier’s eyes were empty.

“You can’t die, you don’t deserve to die, I won’t let you die until you fulfill your obligations alive.” Ciel said sternly.

“what should I do?”

“…There are rumors among the people that the death of Lord Rene must be announced first, but it is said that he died in an accident.”

“But many people… many people witnessed…”

“Be calm, if someone publicly contradicts the official statement, it means that he questions your rule, and such a person should be eliminated by you. You are now the ruler of Ashtree Hall, you are the Earl of Ashtree Hall, this city, this An impeccable monarch of a vast territory.” Ciel shook his shoulders.

“I… yes, I’m an earl now.” Garnier took a deep breath.

“The first step is to unite with those you need to unite, Lady Rocher is your most important supporter, you must reward her, promote her, give her lands and possessions, so as to gain her allegiance, the army of Gloomcastle It’s your important help.” Charles said.

“…Yes, I should do it.” Garnier obeyed Ciel, “Although…hey…”

“You have to visit the powerful people in the city immediately, starting with those you know well, visit them one by one, and talk to them about your future plans, don’t talk about the death of Lord Rene, not at all, if they talk, you will Stabilize them by coping with pre-made rhetoric. You’ll quickly form your own inner core, a loyal community of interests, and from that point, make sure you rule firmly and no one will suddenly fork you out of bed Get up and escort Rain Bay Hall, or tie you up to the West Coast.”

“Rain Bay Hall… Duke Ruiwei will be responsible for judging me!”

“What is the trial, he has insufficient evidence, you drag it first. I have to find a way to prove your innocence.”

“My… innocence?… But… it’s really me…” Garnier was a little nervous.

Ciel stared into his eyes: “You didn’t kill your father.”

“I didn’t kill it,” Garnier repeated.

“There was an assassin. An assassin was hiding on the side of the road and shot Count Rene with an arrow. He shot at the same time as you, so there was a misunderstanding.”

“Yes… it was an assassin, it was an assassin who killed my father.”

“Recite it a hundred times a day until you believe it unconditionally,” Ciel whispered.

Garnier took a deep breath: “Will you help me cover up this lie… No, help me spread the truth?”

“I will, but what can you give me?” Charles said slowly.

Garnier swallowed and looked up at Ciel. The living room was very quiet.

Charles turned his head and saw an ancient painting. At that time, the portraits were very flat, and the perspective method had not spread from the Empire to Loman. He probably saw an inexplicable monster with a shofar figure on it, facing the road beside the road. Innocents share the poisonous apple, and both parties look happy.

“…I will make you a knight, Charles,” he said. “I will give you a manor on the outskirts of the country, a palace with flowing water and gardens, a large apple grove, and my grandfather’s former hunting palace, my mother’s The place where I used to live for a long time would earn 100 gold coins every year… I’ll give it to you.”

Charles sat down at the table. “We’ve always been friends, haven’t we?”

Garnier regained consciousness for a moment.

“Friends help each other,” he said.

“I will help you, I want to find out who gave you this destructive amulet, and I will also try to prove that you have nothing to do with Rene’s death, but the premise is that you must mobilize all your troops to get Understand where those wandering entertainers have gone.”

“I will.” Garnier nodded.

“After the death of Lord Rene, the huge loans he issued were also written off, but you still have a huge treasury. Be optimistic about these assets and use them when necessary. You are not Rene, you don’t have to be as crazy as he is to collect money.”

“I know.” Garnier looked calm now, and I helped him figure out what to do next, and he seemed to be getting smarter.

Titles and titles come second, and what I really want is that white deer.

Charles thought to himself.

It’s got invulnerable fur, and it makes gear that’s incredibly protective, something that’s rare.

“I need the body of the white deer,” said Ciel.

“Um… well…” Garnier nodded slowly.

I know he’s reluctant, but he has to.

“Salute to you, Lord Garnier.” Ciel greeted him, I’ve said enough, I can continue to talk to him about the future arrangements and plans.

But he’s not stupid. If I continue to stay, it will only make him angry. Relationships are really annoying, always thinking about what other people think, not just doing what you like.

He bowed to leave, and when Ciel came outside, he saw that the nobles in the corridor were all staring at him. They wanted to know what Ciel and Garnier had said.

They would like to know how the situation in Ash Tree Hall will change in the future, whether the new emperor will be arrested for arraignment, or will he inherit it safely.

The Ciel knew that what they were most worried about was definitely war. If Ashtree Hall and other territories went to war, the situation would change rapidly.

Ciel gave them a cold look: “What do you want to know?”

“When will there be justice,” said old Louie.

“Justice is everywhere, and we are going to do it soon to find the real murderer who killed Lord Rene,” Ciel said.

“The real murderer?” Louis raised his eyebrows.

“Yes, someone else killed Rene-sama,” Ciel said.

“Naked lies,” Gladius cursed.

There was a brief commotion at his words.

“Lies.” Louis frowned, “We do not accept lying rulers.”

“It’s a fact.” Ciel looked at everyone’s eyes. “Whoever sees Garnier’s arrow hitting Lord Rene with his own eyes, please take a step forward.”

People remained silent, and a few were eager to try, but seeing that most people did not act rashly, they decided to die.

“The justice of Ash Tree Hall is to avenge Lord Rene and find the assassin hidden in the forest.” Ciel raised his head and said.

“You are manipulating Quzhi behind the scenes.” Louis resented, “Sinners and courtiers have come out of the kingdom. If you stay silent, I will find justice in my own way.”

Justice is so high-sounding and reluctant to refute, Ciel can only wish him luck.

“It wasn’t Garnier who killed Rene?” Sarah left the corridor with Ciel.

They turned into a secluded corner, and Charles whispered: “I don’t want Ashtree Hall to fall into chaos, and I don’t want the Earl’s position to be left empty. We need the local nobles to stand on our side so that the temple can run safely, and the secular power is still worthwhile. rely on.”

“That’s why you lied.” Sarah frowned. “Garnier is a patriarch, and you speak for him! Charles, I didn’t expect you to be like that.”

“Garnier has been misled, I have to, I have to think about the safety of the Templars. The Albertans are on my side for now, and if they fall, the new rulers won’t necessarily help us,” Ciel said. .

“I don’t like you like this.” Sarah looked disappointed.

Why is she showing this expression?

Is my behavior annoying her?

“You’re past the point where you need other people’s approval for everything you do,” Gladiu said.

“Garnier didn’t do it on purpose, everything was accidental.”

“But you can’t lie and say that the murderer is someone else. I agree with the old gentleman. We need justice. Without justice, we are nothing.” Sarah shook her head.

“Okay, I need your help.” Ciel hardened his heart. “Garnier passed the white deer to me. It seems to have a potion on it. I hope…”

“I won’t help you, you…you’ve changed, I still like the old you, the old you will never do this.” Sarah fluttered her sleeves and left.

Looking at Sarah’s back, Ciel stopped for a moment.

Everyone changes, Sarah, and you’ll adapt.

Chapter 173

The potions shop opened by Sarah and Delicious is just across from the church. They set up the shop. They used to sell rapeseed oil. Now the counters and counters are filled with all kinds of potions for customers to choose from. The people who come and visit are all travelers and adventurers. These people are often injured and need those life potions.

Ciel put the body of the white deer on the back of the wrath, and visited the shop on horseback.

“Grandma Delicious.” Charles rolled over and dismounted and walked into the shop.

Delich wore a purple hood and looked mysterious. The store was very dark, only a candle provided a little light, and the sunlight from outside could not penetrate. .

“You look simple and ignorant, kid.” Delich said arrogantly.

“I’m in trouble.” Ciel carried the white deer on his shoulders and placed it on the counter.

“Yo, White Deer, where did you get it, hunting?” Delicious was very interested, and stroked the white deer’s soft fur with her dry fingers, “It seems very good, someone locked the fur with an antiseptic potion. The ancient aura in it.”

“That was handled by Mr. Draco.”

“I guess so.”

“He left Ashtree Hall and went back to the Great Swamp.” Charles remembered the bird Draco had become.

“It’s not a good time.” Delich shook his head, “Is he out of his mind?”

“I guess so, because Rene-sama is dead.”
