Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 142
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 142]
“Yes, it will lock on to everything you see, but there’s a line that says, when Rene de Alberta is there, give priority to him.”
“So how did it do it? How could it tell Rene from the others?”
“The makers knew Rene so well that they were able to document his unique characteristics. It was not actually Rene de Alberta, but a 55-year-old, red-haired, loud, half-bald man who was 1.77 meters tall. Loman nobles, only one person in the environment fits this description.” Brian explained.
Someone was extremely familiar with Rene, or at least managed to get Rene’s details.
Charles felt uneasy.
Brian reassembled the amulet and handed it back to Ciel. He put the amulet in his backpack, and it was still full of evil spirits.
After eating and resting, they followed the music and walked into the village. People were flocking to the open space in the middle. The village square has a variety of functions, and important celebrations and events are held here.
Shire and the others arrived at the scene and found that this wandering float called the Seaweed Fisheye was about to start. The peasants had finished their day’s work and gathered in front of the square, standing or sitting, facing the few cars. The beautiful caravan whistled and waited for the entertainers to start the show.
Charles remembered the wandering floats that visited his hometown, where people formed a theatrical troupe, singing and dancing, laughing and making noise.
Charles remembered a well-informed man in the village who had told him an important principle: Comedy is not even comedy if it is not tragic.
At the time I thought it was awkward, and now I don’t understand it.
He listened to the continuous loud music coming from the float. The music became more and more pleasant, louder and faster, bringing the atmosphere of the scene to a very happy atmosphere.
“Ooh!”
“It’s going to be a show!”
“awesome!”
Ciel saw Bicester outside the crowd. He walked back and forth, alerting all possible attacks and assassins. He had neither squires nor followers by his side, as if he was alone. When the villagers passed Bicester, His eyes were confused, as if he didn’t understand the knight’s guard.
“I’m on guard.” Bicester greeted Ciel, “The attackers come to taste my sword!”
“Sorry for breaking your weapon.” Ciel saw the gap in the knight’s sword.
“My martial arts can make up for the lack of weaponry.”
“I really believe that.” Charles nodded.
The sound of the music became more and more high, the music was light and exciting, and the sound of the music made Ciel’s heart beat faster. With such a high-pitched sound, what kind of grand performance are they preparing for?
“Have they always been like this? To make people’s appetites?” Ciel felt strange, and when he thought of the members who might have the Seal of Heatris lurking among them, the atmosphere at the scene became even more tense.
With a burst of cheerful laughter, Charles saw the clown he had seen in the afternoon staggeringly climb down from the back of the float. He was covered in colored paper, funny and ridiculous. There is no such a funny guy in the world, look. It gives a naive atmosphere.
He laughed at everyone. This laughter, like those orchestral instruments, became more and more compact, more rapid, and then gradually became dry. This wild and long laughter was not like a human can make it.
People are tired of hearing this hoarse laughter: “Stop!”
“Start the show!”
“Let the bears come out and dance!”
“Call the girls!”
“The one that doesn’t wear clothes!” The residents of Laqui Village are very picky.
But the clown was still laughing.
“Is he…” Elijah was confused.
The clown suddenly exploded, and blood and pieces of flesh splashed all over the sky, splashing on the heads and faces of people nearby, causing people to scream.
“Wow ah ah-”
Seeing that his scalp was numb, Xia Er immediately rushed through the crowd and rushed into the stage. He couldn’t see any other living people around. He only heard the string music in the float being plucked. He opened the curtain and quickly climbed up. Entering one of the cars, who is still playing the game?
In the dark, he saw a man with a pale face, showing a stiff smile while he kept playing the strings, the rhythm was getting faster and faster, the tendons of his arms were swaying, and from the abdomen down, there were all bones.
Chapter 178 Approaching the Mountain
A corpse, a corpse is still a corpse, Ciel checked everywhere, four colored carriages, and a total of six corpses lay in various places.
“Hiss…” Elijah glanced inward, and couldn’t help gasping for air.
Ciel was bold and unaffected, but when others saw this situation, they might have nightmares.
“Quickly dismiss everyone, there may be danger.” Ciel turned back and shouted at Bicester.
“There is an enemy!” Bicester swung his sword from side to side in a stance.
“Not for now.” Charles looked at the corpse on the ground, the blood was black and stinky, and it was obvious that the clown had been dead for a while, “Let everyone go.” Damn, there are still many children watching, this is not good for their hearts What a shock.
People panicked, exchanging nervous glances and shouting, “What’s wrong!”
“Did you see it? Did you see it?”
“Wow!”
Without being reminded, they fled away on their own, scrambled to hide in their homes, and refused to come out again.
“Check it out.” Charles asked Brian to come over.
“It’s a powerful corpse manipulation technique. I have some understanding of it, but I have only tried manipulating animals, and I want the technique to act on human corpses…” Brian carefully observed the scene, and took a short piece from his belt. The stick, while chanting the mantra, was waving, the stick lit up slightly, and the color was gray.
In the next second, Brian turned the stick, and the invisible link seemed to be cut off. The corpse in the car, who was constantly plucking the banjo, immediately fell down with a stiff posture.
Ciel took a breath, smelled the strong corpse stench, and could only pinch his nose to retreat.
Brian seemed to be accustomed to this, and lifted the evil spells one by one, the lyre player fell, the drummer fell, the trumpeter fell, and the recorder fell.
To be honest, it was really infiltrative. From the afternoon to the present, the music they heard was all corpses playing.
“…It’s all corpses performing.” Ciel felt extremely strange, and couldn’t help turning to Bicester, “Is it like this when they came?”
Bicester inspected the corpses with various forms of death: “No, when I first came, I saw a few chariots and horses, and there was a lot of battle, the voices and horses were constantly neighing, and they were fresh and kind, how could they be lying here? What do you see, why?”
It was the people from the Seal of Heatelis who killed them. He was hiding among the performers who were wandering around the floats and suddenly started killing people, but what was the purpose?
Want to scare people?
This clumsy ploy might make us nervous, but it won’t make us retreat.
“They were either killed or bitten by animals. They didn’t struggle violently. They died a few hours ago, just before we reached the village.” Brian’s voice was hoarse, checking the condition of the bodies.
He was so familiar with corpses.
“Could it be that they sensed that we were approaching, so they decided to kill these performers…” Ciel guessed.
Brian lay on the carriage and sniffed, even licking the lacquered wood with his tongue, discerning the faint breath like an animal, and then pointed in one direction: “They’re going there.”
Charles followed the direction of Brian’s finger, and under the night, he saw a mountain lying quietly there.
It feels particularly secluded, with large fir trees distributed.
In this situation, Ciel suddenly felt a sense of vigilance. One or a group of guys who abused witchcraft and made corpse puppets went there.
Can you win if you go after them?
I’m not in full bloom right now, and if there’s an accident in the conflict, it might not end well.
If I had a chance to catch my breath, I would be more certain.
But as always, the enemy never waits until I’m ready, they’re always looking for opportunities, so they don’t have time to rest.
It’s too embarrassing to show flinch now, so Ciel made a confident gesture: “Let’s go after them.”
Elijah was apprehensive when he saw the corpse before. Now that he saw Ciel’s expression, he became cheered up, and clenched the dark elf sword that Ciel gave him, ready to fight.
Has it been like this before?
Charles was stunned.
Maybe Master Etienne also has moments of nervousness, but in order not to show his fear in front of me, in order to be a good example, Etienne decided to grit his teeth and face his fears.
“Is there any hidden danger in the corpse that has been manipulated by witchcraft, should I destroy it?” Charles asked Brian.
“No,” Brian shook his head, “Witchcraft is a set of rules for manipulating the world with shaman characters… Simple shaman characters are connected to each other to form a unified spell, and it has a very clear logic, if it is a paragraph used to manipulate the world The magic of the corpse will only make the corpse continue to play the piano, and there will be no other consequences. As long as it is destroyed, the corpse will continue to sleep.”
“We’re going to kill the initiator of all these tragedies, those dark wizards, come with me.” Ciel stared into Brian’s eyes.
As a wizard from the swamp, Brian has a completely different temperament from the Lomans. The wizard seems to be strange and mysterious because he is familiar with the principles of the world, he is confident, and he ignores everything.
“Go hunting dark wizards with you… ok.” Brian clenched his short wand. “Is that a goal in life? Should I dedicate my life to this cause?”
“You should know your own interests.”
“How many people in the world know what they are supposed to do?” Brian let out a gloomy laugh. “Our life is a labyrinth.”
“Then this is not an invitation, but an order, if you don’t know what to do, follow me.”
If I don’t know what to do, who should I follow?
No, no need to follow, I am my own mentor and I trust my own judgment.
“Yes, I am willing to obey.” Brian bowed his head to Charles.
Bicester looked at them: “Where are you going?” The knights seemed worried about us.
“That mountain.” Charles pointed out the destination, “where they went, those murderers.” Not only were they closely related to Rene’s death, but they also slaughtered the people in the troupe, turning them into corpse puppets, They must be made to pay the price.
“It’s absolutely impossible, the mountain is the dragon’s private land, and the situation is complicated and unpredictable! I really don’t want you to take risks!” Bicester said anxiously.
“We can’t let them run away like this.” Now that I think about it, maybe they killed these ordinary people in order to delay our actions.
Why did they go to the Dragon Territory?
“Since it has been decided! Let me lead the way.” Bicester no longer hesitated.
Ciel saw a short man, dressed a little better than the other farmers. He was friendly and ran over in three steps. He must be Bicester’s attendant. When Bicester saw him, he immediately ordered him to bring the donkey over. , turn over and ride.
The donkey looked dumb and stupid. When it saw the anger, its hooves became weak, and it refused to move.
“Ah yeah, this beast has been terrified.” Bister was dissatisfied.
The people of Bicester are middle-aged, with sullen faces and inferior equipment, but they feel better than other nobles in the Ciel. Is this the style of chivalry?
“Don’t be nervous, Mr. Knight, I’ll take the lead.” Charles rode ahead, and the others followed.
“Come on!” Bicester shouted from behind, “we are the nemesis of evil!” His squires stumbled after him, torches in their hands.
How can one live to be as heroic and simple as this knight?
Ciel is a little envious. If I am like him, I have nothing else to do, I am unwavering in everything and full of enthusiasm, it seems not bad?
It’s just that the world is difficult and dangerous, and I can’t help thinking about it, and I am at a loss.
“You should go and visit Paramecium with someone from some primitive world,” Gladiu said.
They walked into the night jungle, Bicester’s attendants held torches high, barely illuminating the surrounding roads, and people looked around cautiously, searching for clues, and staying alert for possible attacks.
The night wind was cold and the gray moon was hazy, and they heard bears bark.
Where’s the beast.
Charles thought to himself.
After a while, the answer appeared on their own, and they saw a bear standing in front of the road. The bear was covered in dark gray fur, with a huge and majestic figure, grinning at them and roaring constantly.
“Leave! Damn grizzly!” Bicester took out a spear and pointed it at it.
“There are bear monsters in the gloomy forest, eh eh yo~” A sharp singing voice sounded from behind the bear, “It’s all good to roll around, eh yo eh yo~”
The bear stood up in the singing and roared towards them. It was really strong, and there were marks worn by the collar on its neck. Is it a show bear tamed by wandering floats?
I am afraid that it can be sent directly to the battlefield.
Ciel recited the incantation, released a sharp spell, and the knife light slashed at the giant bear, hitting its fur, seemingly slashing its bones, and blood splashed, but it failed to penetrate.
After being beaten, the bear’s fierceness was aroused, and he rushed towards them violently. Brian swung a short stick and cast a swamp spell on the bear. Its legs seemed to be entangled by invisible vines, and its speed suddenly dropped, and it fell to the ground.
“I am Laqui’s Bicester too! Eat my spear!” Bicester screamed and rushed up, stretched his spear forward, and charged with a gun. The donkey was also inspired by the knight’s courage, and he had no stage fright.
“The knight rushed forward bravely, hey hey hey~ in vain, searching for his life in vain, hey hey hey~” The owner of the song was moving in the dark, and Ciel couldn’t see clearly.
Something crossed the air—
The knight, Yaye, shouted. His body was shot down from the donkey and landed in front of the giant bear. It roared and slapped Bicester with its claws.
Chapter 179
The claws slapped solidly, and Ciel’s heart skipped a beat. When Bicester raised his hand to block, he was hit hard and screamed, but there was no sound.
