Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 189

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 189]

“What’s wrong?”

“It seems like I should have said something, but I don’t quite remember it.”

“The devil will forget things too.”

“You don’t understand, you fool.” Gladiu said indignantly, “Don’t analyze my memory with your understanding, I can remember everything clearly, including a long time, a long time ago! The Blade Demon God remembers everything!”

The tentacles of the meat ball waved in the direction of Ciel, and his body slid outward, and Ciel followed behind and left the pavilion.

Chapter 240

The Peace Demon God left after the conversation, and Ciel saw the three sentences left in the soil of the plantation.

“Who left this?” Ciel pointed to the marks carved on the ground, “How did you see it so far?”

“It’s just because of my — my senses are extraordinary,” Gladius boasted. “It’s such a small three-line word, but I can find it at a great distance, and that’s who I am.”

As Ciel walked out, he pondered the content of the three sentences.

Don’t let the monsters into the water, don’t go to the guard hall, quickly destroy this place.

What does the monster mean?

Where is the guard hall?

Why destroy this place as soon as possible?

The most important thing is… who left?

Ciel was walking on the street and saw a human in a short while. In this hell city where there are many different races, a fellow race always attracts Ciel’s attention, so he naturally approached the child: “Hi!”

The child seemed to be seeing a human like him for the first time, and hesitantly responded: “Hello, sir.”

Beside him stood a gigantic citizen, tall, with arms as sharp as a scythe, multi-legged support, and a long tail dragging the ground when walking, which looked strange in any way.

If it appeared in our original world, it would definitely be killed immediately.

“I’m a passerby.” Charles introduced himself.

“My name is Yasin, and it’s Arejanovich, my friend. I like meeting new people,” Yassin said happily.

“How did you recognize this guy?” Ciel looked at it, this is the “Mantis” here.

“Hey, I will be friends with those citizens who are willing to respond to me, many citizens don’t pay much attention to me, only Arejanovich will respond to me, and I can roughly figure out what it means, I have seen and it before The same citizen. Of course, the most surprising thing is you, sir, it’s the first time I’ve met someone exactly like me!”

“How did you come across…it?” Ciel, Yassin, and the mantis-like citizens made their way down the street together.

“In fact, not long ago, I saw it wandering on the street, very confused, I greeted it, it responded, and we became friends.” Yasin explained.

Ciel turned his head to look at this mantis life, which seemed extraordinarily confused, empty, and stiff in manner.

Even though it didn’t have the same facial features as humans at all, Ciel could almost feel its sluggishness and bulkiness.

“It… what happened?” Charles was confused.

“It has no soul,” Gladiu said.

“Without a soul, like insanity?”

“Yes, this is a stupid thing with only a very small soul in it, gah! How could it be born with such a stupid guy, it obviously lost most of its soul, lost its memories, emotions, thoughts, and eventually became To be like this… sluggish and clumsy! Kill it and eat the last bit of its soul, so that it ceases to exist,” cried Gladiu.

During the exchange, Ciel learned about Yasin’s origin.

“It feels like we’ve met before,” Yasin said.

“Impossible, we’re from different eras,” Ciel felt amused, “maybe have seen someone very similar to me.”

“Well…it’s also possible, I like to entertain friends from all over the world in the palace.” Yasin smiled comfortably.

They followed Arejanovich to the river, and it dipped into the water step by step.

“Where does it want to go?” Charles was confused.

“Maybe you want to swim? Arejanovich, do you want to go swimming?” Yasin called.

It didn’t respond, it seemed to have lost the ability to speak, but it still maintained a certain obsession with water, so it was determined to walk towards the turbid river.

Ciel frowned, thinking about the mysterious words left behind: “…We have to stop it.”

“It might drown…” Yasin was worried.

Ciel rushed forward with a single stride, stretched out his arms to embrace Arejanovich’s huge arm, and dragged it back. As soon as its heavy body was pulled, it stopped moving and stopped on the bank of the river in a daze.

Even so, its compound eyes stared straight at the water, refusing to look away.

“There is no water in Arejanovich’s hometown, because of this, their family will want to swim.” Yasin guessed.

Ciel was uncomfortable with the creature’s hideous appearance: “So what else is there, with water, and safer”

Yasin thought for a while: “…Well, I see, it’s a bathing place!”

After they took Arejanovich to the bathroom, he seemed to have found enough fun in it to not want to come out for a while, falling into some sort of mysterious hibernation in which the water splashed on his tough, heavy carapace.

“This is what the soul looks like after being devoured. They are not interested in everything. Only the residual memory urges them to force some needs.”

“Hopefully we’ll never get to that point, our soul.” Charnet looked at Gladius and his soul. “Well…great.”

“Strong, but not strong enough… I don’t think I should be so small.” Gladiu was confused, “I should be as tall as the sky and the earth, infinitely strong!”

“That’s your delusion, you’ve always been weak.”

“No, that’s not right… I have to set the comparison clock,” Gladius muttered.

“What is a clock?”

“A chronology that measures the size and strength of the soul. The specific measurement method is to start at a point, and from there start to expand at a given rate, gradually filling the entire soul itself, which takes a period of time, set this as a given Value. The next time you measure, the time will change. If the time becomes longer, it means that the soul has become bigger… Very simple principle! When the soul is constant, the difference is smaller than that of the clock! This is the wisdom of the devil! Next time Measure, and the soul will definitely get bigger.”

“Maybe it will become smaller.” Ciel shook his head. “You will become smaller when you burn yourself, and then wonder if it is the problem of comparing the clock.”

Gladiu was very anxious: “Then eat the population of this city! And you fool, didn’t I consider the problem of soul loss when I set it up?”

“I don’t think that’s necessary.” Ciel thought to himself, “Everyone is living happily, but you can’t eat them.”

Take a look around, the houses are tall and beautiful, the streets are orderly, the citizens rarely communicate because of the language barrier, but they can get everything they want.

There are also law enforcement officers in the sky to combat violent conflicts, and safety and happiness are guaranteed.

Ciel turns to Yassin: “Is there any fun in town”

Yasin said excitedly: “I know! There’s a special place, sir, you’re going to love it.”

He trotted all the way, the hem of his clothes was shaking in the wind, and Ciel followed slowly, and came to a large workshop in a short time.

The wine is fragrant here.

Charles saw that there was a very large pool, round, waist-deep, and filled with golden liquid, as beautiful as the sun sinking in the water, with a lingering fragrance that went straight to his nose.

There are huge fermentation vats on both sides, and several citizens climbed high, stirring the sediment inside with huge long sticks, and sprinkled other ingredients.

“Everyone works voluntarily. This is what they like, so they like to do it all the time.” Yasin pointed to the working citizens, “There is work to do, so be happy!”

Under the service of those citizens, the puree of the wine is fully fermented in the barrel, and finally drips out of a small hole, flows into the pool channel, and pours into the wine pool in the middle, making it always full.

“So much wine.” Charles was amazed, and many citizens sat or stood by the pool, picked up their glasses and scooped in the wine pool, and tasted the wine freely.

There are also countless potatoes in the big basket next to it, which can be a feast for the eyes.

Charles felt an unquenchable hunger.

Why am I so hungry?

“It’s all free wine here, that’s fine.” Yassin walked to the wine pool and filled a glass for himself and Ciel, “Please, sir.”

“So.” Ciel drank, the taste was very strong, very spicy, and he didn’t want to drink after a sip. He put the cup aside and went to eat a lot. He found that he had an excellent appetite and could eat everything, almost himself The body is hungry for food, “Everyone in the free city has no pressure to survive.”

“Yes, people don’t know what death is,” Yassin said softly. “And in my day, people died very easily.”

“die of what”

“Slavery is the most,” Yasin sighed. “My parents told me not to treat slaves as people, but I couldn’t help feeling sorry for them. I played with the children of slaves, but when I grew up, I saw Until they pull the cargo, get whipped under the scorching sun, and scolded. Eventually they will become food for dragons.”

“So you prayed to the God of Peace, and the God of Peace brought you here.”

“No…” Yasin shook his head, “for other reasons.” He took a sip of wine, his cheeks flushed, “Did I tell you that I am… the king of the subjugated country?”

After Charles finished eating, his tongue recollected the taste, and he found that the wine was really fragrant and attractive. He took a sip from the glass, resisted the spicy taste, and enjoyed the warmth of the alcohol as it rolled into his stomach and burned: “I didn’t listen to it. Say, what happened to your country”

“That was the most painful time, sir… I ran away.” Yassin said dejectedly, “My parents are already dead, and they came to me.”

“Looking for you… Of course, you are the heir.”

“They want to crown me, they need me to lead the army and the people to resist.” Yassin said bitterly.

“Then resist!”

“I’m afraid! Sir! I’m an unqualified royal! I’m the last king, I should be, but I run away, I’m afraid of the throne, I’m afraid that everyone will need me, I’m praying for peace, I’m afraid of those who come to conquer my country Army, I was so afraid of war… In the end, God appeared before me and took me away,” Yasin said sadly.

“It’s nothing, run away, run away from your duties…” Ciel finished his drink, and then scooped another in the pool.

“I’m starting to get dizzy.” Gladiu murmured, “Stop drinking, I’ll use your brain to think about things and why I’ve become smaller.”

“Hundreds of years have passed, and I feel a guilty relief, sir, that those who need me have been reduced to ashes and can no longer come to my help, my country and my name are left behind In history, I have no responsibility anymore, I can enjoy peace here.” Yasin put down the empty glass, his eyes were bloodshot.

“Peace…” Ciel shook his head, “Only you enjoy the peace that your subjects are not blessed to enjoy, you sold your soul to come here, while the rest of your country, the vast majority of ordinary people, suffer the fate of their country’s subjugation. You noble…”

Yasin was embarrassed.

Ciel leaned back, and suddenly he felt that his body was also very tired and needed a rest.

Hungry and tired, traveling between the two worlds turned out to be such a tiring thing.

Chapter 241 Apartment

When Ciel woke up, he saw Yasin still beside him, he didn’t drink anymore, his face was small and white.

“Ah,” Charles remembered what he had said before going to bed, “I’m sorry.”

“Huh?” Yasin didn’t understand, “Why do you apologize? Sir.”

“He said some unreasonable things,” Ciel explained. Although it was true, it was too offensive. “Everyone has their own difficulties. I shouldn’t say that to you.”

“No no.” Yasin said again and again, “It’s okay, it’s my fault.”

“Are you blaming yourself?”

Yasin’s face was ashamed: “Even now, I can often remember the tragic situation that day.”

Charles put his legs off the edge of the wine pool and left them in the air, and he saw citizens coming and going at the door, feasting on food and wine, and munching on drinks.

They eat very differently. Some use cups like humans, some stick out their long mouths to suck, and some stare at the wine, and then the liquid naturally floats and flows into their mouths.

In any case, Ciel can still see some commonalities between different species.

With their heads all up, they have powerful lower limbs that allow them to walk, and then, depending on their environment, evolved organs for their lives, such as wings, sharp teeth, scaly skin, hard exoskeletons, or oversized gigantic heads.

He feels that no matter how difficult the situation is, life will find a way out by itself, and there must be a way out.

“What happened that day?” Charles drew his attention back.

“Our neighboring country is the Land of Dragons, a powerful empire.” Yassin said sadly, “You may not be able to imagine, but in our era, the stronger the dragon that a country honors, the stronger that country will be. The more they are respected, and the Dragon Kingdom has become the leader of the Great Lakes city-states because of their worship of the Dragon God, and they are fortunate to serve the strongest among the Dragon Clan.”

“I can understand,” Ciel nodded. “At that time, humans were vassals of dragons.”

“However, the Dragon God lowered his will, deposed our guardian dragon Avituna, and ended the suzerainty rights exercised by the noble dragon over us. Lord Avituna gave up on us, so we lost our qualifications as a ‘nation’. Without the protection of the dragons, we can only be annexed. After losing the dragons that protected us, the imperial army was sent to my country.”

Ciel remained silent. This is a story that happened a long time ago in a foreign land.

At that time, the Lomans lived in small cities represented by the west coast, the Yamanei Empire had not yet been established, and even the demons might not have noticed our world.

Yasin looked into the distance with a loss, and lowered his head: “Sir, what would you do if you were in my situation?”

“I,” Charles thought for a moment, “sounds desperate. Maybe I’ll run away with money and someone I like.”

“Everyone is watching me,” Yasin said, his voice trembling. “They forbid me to escape. My father and my mother died fighting on the front lines, and they want me to die for the glory of Avituna as well.”
