Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 201

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 201]

No, sir, that’s what I really meant… Ciel hesitated.

Forget it, who really understands me?

Chapter 256 Information

Ciel needed those wise elders, and he longed for guidance like all young men.

Courage and boldness can solve some things, experience and wisdom can handle more, and it is difficult for Ciel to develop the corresponding ability, so he must observe and learn.

He was especially admired by such a tight-lipped man as Caluson.

How can I be as thoughtful and astute as he is?

Charles couldn’t stop looking at Caluson behind the table. He put a letter in an envelope and put it on the table where he could see it at a glance.

“I am now more and more convinced of what you said before – intelligence and information are the most important resources,” said Shire.

“No matter how low the starting point, as long as a person learns to collect information, he can find a job; if he knows how to analyze and use the information at hand, he can live without food; if he knows how to sell information to others, use his rich information to squeeze those who know nothing, and he can climb to a very high level in this society. After that, money, women and power will be very cheap.” Caluson leaned back, leaning against On the high-back chair, rub your fingers lightly against the tabletop.

“I see.” Ciel nodded, feeling deeply inspired, and he had a new idea in his heart, “The problem now is that I have a lot of enemies.”

“Have you seen Luvasheu?”

“Yes, Luvashu.” Ciel nodded vigorously, “He has changed, he has become unprecedentedly terrifying and powerful, he is the leader of the Hundred Sons, and he is associated with the Seal of Heatris. I don’t know what he wants to do. But he’s bound to make some big noise.”

“I think so too.” Caluson agreed. “My forces are shrinking. After the disbanding of some organizations, many idlers have been recruited by Luvachau.”

“That’s the spy you sent.” Ciel responded instantly.

Caluson’s mouth ticked upwards: “You understand, before they knock on the door, I have to know when they are coming and how many people there are.”

“You are an almost invisible ruler.”

He stared at the charr: “And this shadow empire needs a successor.”

“Your sons…”

“They are in other parts of the country, they are obsessed with the warmth of the South, but I still love the cold weather in the north, which is more suitable for foxes to survive, often reminding us how people like this can do things quietly with their tails tucked.” Song said.

“Ciline is a good girl,” Charles said. “She will be by your side and will inherit your career.”

“And she needs a helper, a capable helper,” Caluson said slowly, “why not talk to her? Charles, you may find something in common in each other and resolve the differences between you. contradiction.”

“I already have someone I love.”

“Kliushi told me that your love is extensive, enough to give a little more to my beautiful and lovely daughter.” Caluson shook his head slowly, “Sirin needs a husband, and that person must be strong enough to To protect the dowry and inheritance, you must also have a generous and kind character to ensure a happy marriage. You are strong, sharp, handsome, and you can be compared with you only by Prince Leopold. It’s just a prince. Your Highness has a marriage contract, I’m afraid he won’t like the old fox in the crypt…”

Charles looked around and saw how the house of gold buried deep in the ground was in line with Caluson’s industrial power, so he said, “I will seriously consider this matter.”

“I’m very happy.” Caluson nodded, “Charle, I can almost feel the Hall of Beauty is calling me to devote myself to the darkness, to meet fate and judgment.”

“Please don’t say that, you will live a long life.”

“Don’t let the old man’s expectations be in vain,” said Caluson with a deep meaning.

Alright, Mr. Caluson, if you are really weak, why would you keep your favorite princess?

Ciel nodded calmly, showing a very ashamed expression: “I will try my best to win Xilin’s favor.” When the time is right, maybe I will understand why Xilin treats me so badly.

But that’s all until I get back from the West Coast.

Charles thought to himself.

After saying goodbye to Caluson, Ciel went back the same way, climbed out of the mine, made sure there was no one around, and then returned to Ashtree Hall.

Information, information… Ciel went to the Garnier’s castle without stopping. He received countless greetings and greetings along the way. He returned the greetings one by one, and when he found the person he wanted, his back was already a little sore. pain.

The layout of the intelligence room is very large, with a large map table in the middle, with fortresses and checkpoints made of wood, mountains and hills built with mud, rivers and hydrological conditions marked with blue paint, woodlands covered with green silk, and the location of the sea. It is full of vicious sea monsters and giant whales.

Loic, the intelligence officer of the Alberta family, was sorting out the filing cabinet. When he turned his head and saw Ciel walking in, he immediately bowed to him exaggeratedly: “Welcome! Lord Chief!”

“The espionage project in Ashtree Hall will soon get to the next level,” Ciel said.

“You’re going to hire new people? Are you going to give everyone a raise?” Loic laughed. “You can’t do anything without money.”

“More useful than money,” said Charles earnestly. “I’m going to dive into the West Coast myself.”

Loic’s expression seemed to be choked, and his face froze: “What does this mean?”

“Literally, I’m going to the West Coast,” Ciel said. “Find the king’s secret and recover a batch of ancient relics.”

“What relic?”

“An ultimate tool to fight against the invasion of demons, I don’t know the specifics, but it can definitely save the world.” Ciel said, “I will personally enter the capital of our greatest enemy, find out their plans, and figure it out. What do they want?”

“Wow… that definitely sounds like a… big plan.” Loic shrugged. “What if you died? Killed by Prince Leopold.”

“So intelligence and information are needed.” Charles opened the filing cabinet, and there were some documents marked on the spine of the book that were related to the Softel royal family. He took them out and flipped through them, asking, “What the hell is Prince Leopold? The man? Heard him more than once.”

“He? He’s a genius, and Luoman should be ruled by him!” Loic made no secret of his reverence for the enemy, “The Luoman should be led by such a great hero, he is friendly, handsome and burly, no one After seeing him, I can refuse his leadership. He is a natural king. I can’t wait for the king to die suddenly and Lord Leopold to take the throne. He will usher in a bright age for the kingdom of Loman.”

“Sounds very strong.” Charles felt a little swaying, Prince Leopold…

“He is highly skilled in martial arts, of course. Eight years ago at the West Coast Tournament, the 18-year-old His Royal Highness shot five people in a row, and no one could stop him! That ‘shower of strength’ Ailard rode towards His Royal Highness the Prince on horseback. He rushed over and was stabbed to the ground in a single encounter. His Highness threw away his spear, took off his gauntlet, lifted him up with his own hands, and showed concern. The performance of the king convinced everyone present.” Loic continued to brag. .

“He must have a weakness.” Ciel thought for a while and flipped through the files in his hand.

When Leopold Soffertaire was born, the sky was thundered with lightning, and when His Majesty Eduardo took the infant prince to the balcony, the thunder and lightning stopped, and the black clouds dispelled the invisible.

“He has no weaknesses.” Loic said in an unquestioning tone, “He is the pride of the Lomans!”

“Don’t tell me, I might kill him.” Ciel thought for a while, “I have to fight at least dozens of people on the west coast, and I might get into trouble with the army, etc. Leopold will never condone it. There’s going to be a fight between me, me and him.”

“I know a very good coffin maker.” Loic sighed, “I will persuade Lord Earl to bury you in a glorious way.”

“If I die there, they probably won’t bring my body back.”

“Don’t worry, the traitor’s body will be cut into five parts, the torso will be thrown into the sea, and the head and limbs will be hanged all over the country. Our side will be divided into your arms as usual. Hope it’s the stronger side.” Roy K said lightly.

“I won’t lose, you and your sister will organize a copy of the West Coast information for me, and I will keep track of them when I travel.” Charles said.

“Yes, yes, no problem, my lord.” Loic nodded to Ciel, “Yes, it should be like this, such a perfect person, this world can’t hold him, it’s time for you to kill him. Lost After the sole heir, the Softel dynasty will also usher in a bitter end.”

“His Majesty’s original wife passed away five years ago.” Charles turned to the key content in the file.

“Yes, yes, but Your Majesty has married Queen Anna, who is young and beautiful and has a prolific womb. It’s a pity that the heir has not yet been born, and His Majesty’s health has been deteriorating. For the past two years, he can only live in the palace, and I am afraid that he will still be buried in the royal mausoleum. That demonic wind was blowing, and Queen Anna was afraid that she would keep her boudoir and be lonely. Hey, if you want me to say, it’s better to let Prince Leopold try it, anyway, it’s the blood of the Sofortaire family.” Roy G muttered.

“You two brothers and sisters are really open-mouthed.” Charles was used to it.

“People live to speak loudly and say the first thought that pops up in their hearts,” Loic said vigorously.

“Remember to pay attention to the countryside. The Hundred Sons and the Seal of Theris merge together. Be sure to eradicate them. If necessary, call in demon hunters to assist.” Ciel reminded.

“Oh, they’re a bunch of greedy people who want money, especially Alicia, the prudent person who doesn’t want to lose a little bit on the contract, and always wants to get some extra labor out of our pitiful vault. You don’t help to talk about it, you are a noble person with dual identities!”

“This is a necessary expense.” Ciel disagreed, “Anyway, Lord Rene has saved so much money in his life.”

“You missed Lord Rene’s funeral. It was such a grand event. Everyone went home happily, forgetting who the murderer was.” Loic’s tone was pleasant, as if he was still holding on to Garnier’s crime Same.

“You…” Ciel looked into Loic’s eyes. “One day in the future, if someone talks about this old account, which side will you stand on?”

“Lord Shire,” Loic’s face turned cold, “my sister and I, we were all cultivated by Lord Rene, without Lord Rene, we are just ghosts on the street, we will never forget this. That’s it. What do you think? We licked blood on the tip of our knives, we hid in the filthiest places to eavesdrop on information, and when we came to our senses, Lord Rene was dead and stinking in a body bag. Do you think we should hold our breath?”

Maybe I should remind Garnier… the danger is in his castle, in his intelligence room, in the midst of his two capable spies…

No, let’s wait until we get back, the West Coast trip is more important, Ciel thought to himself.

“I don’t care about that,” Charles said.

Garnier, no one can escape his fault.

“Very good.” Loic nodded, “After confirming your attitude, I feel more at ease.”

Chapter 257 Ceremony

The most interesting thing is to reward the hunters for promotion.

Although other high-level church leaders are also available, everyone is waiting for Ciel to promote themselves.

So, when he came back, people began to make requests.

Ciel stood in the hall and held a ceremony for the hunters who were eligible for promotion. The other recruits and reserve hunters sat on the bench with solemn expressions.

“Elija of Jove, who successfully passed the hunter’s trial and made outstanding contributions in destroying the religious stronghold, is hereby promoted from the reserve hunter to the active hunter.” Ciel helped Elijah tie the cloak, and Decorated copper treasures.

“Thank you so much, Master.” Elijah said solemnly, “I will never forget your teaching.”

“Don’t let me down.” Ciel patted him, and Elijah stepped back.

Elijah’s girlfriend, the young and beautiful female recruit came forward. These three recruits had already received black robes before, and Ciel just confirmed it through the ceremony.

“Claire of Van Mountain,” Charles put on a black cloak for her, “because he successfully passed the recruit trial, fearless of the dark, and good at cooperation, he is hereby promoted from the recruits as a reserve hunter.”

“Thank you.” Claire nodded to Ciel, she looked calm, and she might become an excellent hunter in the church in the future.

A child with expensive armor and an exquisite sword stepped forward. Ciel remembered that he was the second son of a nobleman, and he came out to make a living in order to avoid dividing the family property.

“Enzo of Fort Cliff.” Ciel tied a cloak to him. “Because of his smooth passing of recruit training, his calmness in dealing with things, and neither arrogance nor impetuousness, he is hereby promoted from the recruits to become a reserve hunter.”

“Thank you.” Enzo couldn’t hide his joy.

The last qualified third-phase recruit, Ciel turned his attention to him. The boy was very friendly when he looked at the recruit next to him, but he was cold and serious when he was called by Ciel.

“Arthur from Fountain Hall.” Ciel helped him fasten his cloak, and when his arm was placed on the boy’s shoulder, Arthur moved uneasily, causing Ciel to take a little effort to fasten it. He successfully passed the recruit training, respected his partners and planned carefully, and is hereby promoted from the recruits to join the church as a reserve hunter.”

“Yes.” Arthur nodded, then returned to his friends, chatting and laughing with them for a while.

Ciel looked at a tall and lanky demon hunter. That was Benoit from Ashtree Hall, a member of the second phase of the army. A silent and withdrawn demon hunter, he was almost the most autistic person in the sanctuary. I haven’t seen him speak to anyone else.

Noticing Ciel’s gaze, Benoit stepped forward. He didn’t even bother to pretend to be friendly.

At the same time, among the second-phase soldiers, he is the most talented, skilled in swordsmanship, and skilled in magic spells.

Ciel was deeply satisfied when he thought of the accumulated exploits he had previously submitted for hunting down country demons.

“Bennot of Ashtree Hall,” the Shire tied the gold treasure to his cloak, replacing the original silver treasure, “for his hunt of 2 mid-level demons in 477 and 4 in 478. The luxurious record of the middle-level demon is hereby promoted from the elite hunter to the expert hunter.”

“Well.” Benoit said crampedly. He didn’t seem to like the atmosphere here. He hated being watched in amazement by everyone. As soon as Ciel let go, he fled early and hid where no one could see. went.

When Charles was away, Benoit was basically the strongest fighting force in the sanctuary. Every time a big ghost accidentally absorbed his soul and evolved into a middle-level demon, Benoit would kill him alone, but he kept silent. No sound, just silently write a recitation report and hand it in.

After completing the promotion, Ciel also had a firm grasp of the Holy Church’s combat power.

The Master Hunter, the charr, wears a silver-grey cloak.

The expert hunter, Benoit, wears a black cloak and gold treasure.

Elite hunters, Franks, Ines, Hugo, wear black cloaks and silver treasures.

Active hunters, Divina, Morgan, Rodan, Madden, Elijah, wear black cloaks and bronze treasures.

Reserve hunters, Claire, Arthur, and Enzo, wear plain black cloaks.

There are a lot of hunter recruits, at least twenty or thirty, who are not qualified to wear cloaks. They are suffering under Hugo, and most of them will be repatriated as soon as possible.

In general, aside from the recruits, there are thirteen demon hunters in the temple, which is not too many, but they are already quite capable of fighting. Ciel believes that every demon hunter who has passed the recruits test can beat ten.

Ciel looked at everyone present and thought of those names from the past.

Ah… how many people were there in the Hunter’s Sanctuary two years ago?

Master Frederick, Etienne, Gephne, Dalton, Warren, Julius, Denver, remembering these names now, Charles felt like they were people from a lifetime ago.

A group of eight people went deep into the dusk forest, hunted the blade demon, and all died.

And I came back from the dead, and I live to this day.
