Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 220

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 220]

Serava turned her head, Doria widened her eyes, Charlotte narrowed her eyes, and Luana sneered constantly.

Charles also felt incredible.

Demon hunters, special envoys of the king, and alliances have such a thing. The special envoys are puppets loyal to the darkness, and they are absolutely untrustworthy.

No… Ciel pondered, in fact, according to Luanna’s words, the King’s envoys present were all members of the Prince’s Party, and they may have also participated in the design of Leopold’s life, but they all seemed to be quite respectful to Leopold. Loyalty, to a certain extent, is advancing and retreating with Leopold, as long as they do not stand out against the dark master, and turn their attention to other enemies of the Shire, such as… Your Majesty, it seems that they can have common interests.

“Leopold,” Charles looked up, before he was interrupted by Serava.

“You have to add honorifics when addressing adults!” Serava was very dissatisfied. “There is no law in such disdain for etiquette.”

Contrary to Ciel’s expectations, Leopold didn’t say a word again this time, but put his elbow on the arm of the chair, his fist supported his cheek, his eyes were calm, and he seemed to be persuading Ciel to obey.

He doesn’t take it as a big deal.

Charles realized what was going on.

Leopold thought it was quite natural for people to address him with honorifics.

“His Royal Highness Leopold.” Charles felt a little bored. When did I start to hate the aristocracy in this country?

When I was able to challenge it, the frailty beneath its glossy exterior was plain to see, and the red tape just made sure people kept their heads down, “We’ve got to go west coast.”

“March?” Leopold puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“You are a better ruler.” Ciel confessed his plan. “You will be a hundred times more competent on the Loman throne.”

Shire captures the changes in people’s faces, a topic that intrigues most people.

“You are disregarding the reputation of His Royal Highness!” Basil shouted, trying to show his unconditional loyalty to the prince, “His Royal Highness has a high morality, how could he accept treacherous tricks and provoke father and son against each other? Once the conspiracy is revealed, His Royal Highness How will you handle yourself in the future?”

“You said it was exposed, but what if it wasn’t exposed? King Leopold Soffertaire will rule the North and South Loman.” Charles shrugged, “It’s a matter of time, but if His Majesty the King doesn’t go away, We’re just helping him, and we don’t need His Highness Leopold to be involved, we can do it ourselves.”

Serava cast her eyes on Leopold, expecting him to make up her mind. Her eyes were full of admiration and respect as if Leopold had become a king.

Leopold put down his hands and straightened up: “I agree.” He nodded, “Father is increasingly unable to become a qualified ruler, although it is a bit cruel to say this, but I must take over the government, in the protector of the country and the nobles. With the assistance of the Joint Conference, the rebels will be swept away and the country will be reinvigorated.”

“Once His Royal Highness ascends the throne, the rebels from all over the world will soon fall, and they will all vie for allegiance to you. Everyone knows that you will defeat all opponents at home and abroad without any effort.” A princely party boasted.

“Yeah,” another person echoed, “re-draw the contract, confiscate the traitor’s property, divide the meritorious person, reset the fief, reward the dignitaries in the border area, His Royal Highness will set out to clear the domestic corruption and achieve the great cause of the world!”

“My allegiance to King Leopold!” Doria jumped out, knelt on the ground, and bowed her head to Leopold.

She was in a hurry, but the others were also in a hurry. Seeing Doria’s behavior, they rushed to the center of the carpet and swore allegiance to Leopold.

A succession of compliments and pledges of loyalty were thrown at Leopold, his face softened with a smile, and his face flushed with the great ideals in his heart.

“But… against my father…” Leopold pondered, “and other envoys’ opinions…”

“We will sweep away the traitors among the special envoys and ensure that those who stay will support His Highness’ cause.” Serava comforted, “As long as we win the support of the Duke Protector and the Joint Council of Nobles, your legal inheritance is beyond doubt. Your Majesty will grow old in the right place, and you will take over the black crown.”

Luana said lightly: “What about the ‘master’ side? Does it want to replace the corrupt champions under him?”

The envoys all turned their attention to Luanna.

“What master?” Leopold wondered.

Serava’s face was angry and disturbed: “…Shut up, Luanna.” She picked up the snake chain behind her.

Leopold stared at Serava: “You’ve been hiding something from me.”

“Luana! What did you say!” Doria screamed. “You shouldn’t! It’s a secret!”

“No,” Serava looked at Doria in horror, “don’t…”

“Secrets? All I want to know is secrets, Serava, tell me everything, do you want to betray me?” Leopold urged.

Serava wept: “My lord, I don’t want to, I don’t want to tell you, these things will do you no good, you will be a wise monarch, you will be the savior of the world, you will give 10 million Loman people It will bring eternal happiness, so, for everyone’s sake, please don’t ask any more.”

“I must know, Serava, this is very important to me!” Leopold said anxiously.

“Snake, let everyone rest.” Serava raised the snake chain in her hand, and it sprinted out like lightning. Before Ciel could see clearly, the round attacked everyone present, and in one breath They all fell, including Leopold, mortals and nobles all fell.

Only Charlotte, Doria, Luana and Ciel were not affected.

Serava lamented, lifted up the sleeping Leopold on the throne, and stroked his cheek: “I hurt His Highness again…I…I want to protect him, I just want to protect him.”

Charlotte turned to Luanna: “Sister Luanna, be the same as before.”

“As before, are you bringing me back to the ranks?” Luanna sneered.

“For the sake of His Royal Highness, please.” Charlotte said gently, “Sister is a very important person. Without Sister Luanna, our life lacks color.”

“What do they want you to do?” Charles asked curiously.

“Modify Leopold’s memory.” Luana took out her own spell-casting catalyst, “Cut off the bad parts and create the parts we want him to think of. Do I want to create the memory of him seeing our peace? It must be very exciting. . . Make up that he hid in the closet to watch us all night.”

“Please don’t,” Charles said quickly.

“Can you really feed her?” Doria squinted at Ciel.

Charlotte noticed the black talisman in Luanna’s hand and nodded: “My sister’s power has become much stronger, and this… stalwart demon hunter, it’s a great honor to be with you, even if life In the deep palace, your reputation is often heard.”

“Thank you.” Charles looked at Leopold sleeping on the throne.

What a twist, a kingdom dominated by envoys, a ruler dominated by the Lord of Darkness.

Charles thought to himself.

All of this must be destroyed and freedom returned to all.

Chapter 281 Looking back on the past

They drag Leopold into a quiet room, and Charles shuts the door to see what they do with Leopold’s memory.

Serava made sure Leopold was spread out, and she leaned against Leopold, listening to his breathing, gently unbuttoning his coat and taking off his armor.

“It’s enough to get here, the eyes are going to be hot.” Luana stopped.

Serava stopped and looked at Leopold’s half-exposed muscles obsessively: “His Royal Highness’s body is always so beautiful.”

“Does he know you’re like this?” Charles asked curiously.

Serava was not angry, just shy: “No, I don’t want His Highness to know. His Highness is the light of my world, the god of light, and I am just a tiny ant in the world. How can an ant let the gods know their emotions? ? That will only trouble the spirits. Your Highness Leopold…I…have always been by your side and will not leave you half a step…In the world, I love you the most and will not let you suffer any harm “…” She stared blankly at Leopold, her fingers nowhere to be placed, wanting to touch Leopold, but consciously withdrawing, not wanting to touch his skin.

“Sister Serava, His Royal Highness will also understand your contribution.” Charlotte said gently, “His Royal Highness, you must have always known your love, and your contribution will definitely be recognized.”

“I’m glad you said that.” Serava stepped back.

Her eyes were fixed on Leopold, and she refused to look away.

Ciel was able to observe Serava carefully. Compared with the pure Leopold, Serava, who holds the ancient artifact, is definitely ten times more difficult to deal with.

Serava wears a pure black iron armor. The armguards, shoulder armor and breastplate are all connected together with exquisite craftsmanship. They are forged in one piece without affecting the movement. It is impossible to guess that she is a woman, her eyes are light gray, her lips are almost bloodless, and her facial features are straight, but they look beautiful together.

Ciel has seen too many beauties and would not call her beautiful, but she is above average.

The chain of snakes behind her, Shire thought it was bound by a belt, but now he found out that it was lying on Serava’s back, nothing fixed it. Swinging, the main body consists of metal chains connected in series.

“How about that thing? ‘Ancient artifact’, it will be very scary.” Ciel asked Gladiu in his heart.

“What’s more, it’s terrifyingly strong. If she is rough with us, we have almost no chance to fight back.” Gladiu muttered.

“It’s so scary.” Ciel was secretly shocked, “Why? What is its power?”

“The great power that covers this world.” Gladiu pondered, “To build a world requires a ‘source’, that is, the forces that supported it in the first place. In some worlds, the ‘source’ is ‘thousands’, ‘reincarnation’ ‘, ‘Dream’. ‘Source’ is the original power that is so great that it can independently support a world. And this chain contains one of the fragments of the original power that built your world. If it was me, I would name it as ‘snake’.”

“snake……”

“The snake in your world symbolizes an ancient mysterious and powerful thing, but it seems to be something before your civilization. The soul memory I have eaten has only vague records of it, and it is something lost, so this is an ancient artifact. After the king of darkness settles in this world, it’s natural to defeat those third-rate guardians and then capture it. It’s just for us, we have to face an artifact with source-level power fragments at this stage… only It can be said that luck is not very good.” Gladiu explained.

“Can God handle it?”

“Put out your divinity and attach it to the weapon, so that you can create an item that is equivalent to it… at least it is against it. I should be able to deal with it if I use tricks myself, but no, the risk is very high, I would rather avoid it .” Gladiu rarely shows weakness, if it says so, it means that Serava’s snake chain is definitely a treasure they can’t resist.

“Extracting divinity…it must be difficult.”

“Not only is it difficult, it is very likely that the divinity will be lost during the processing process. Only real gods can create artifacts at will, and their divinity is continuous. After they are considered gods, the nature of gods is quite stable. And you It’s just an ordinary person, and the extraordinary nature is not reliable, so you should not think about it.”

Ciel looked at the snake chain, and the snake chain also turned to look at him.

Luana walked over to Leopold and placed the Dark Talisman on his forehead.

Leopold’s soul was extracted, passed through the crystals on the talisman, and projected into the air. Ciel saw a hazy figure stretched into a giant screen by Luana, with various scenes of unknown intention floating in it.

Luana chanted the spell silently, so these situations gradually enlarged and became clear, and Charles gradually could see clearly that those were Leopold’s memories.

He saw a child being carried by his strong and powerful father.

The face of that father, Charles is very familiar, just like His Majesty Eduardo in middle age. At that time, he was not as irritable and old as he was in the hospital bed. He looked optimistic, cheerful and upright. Leopold was beautiful in his childhood. Soft red hair, fair skin, well-behaved, laughing loudly in Eduardo’s hands.

“Oh…” Serava covered her tears, “His Royal Highness Leopold… how lovely… If only I could see him sooner…”

“Then how did you meet Leopold ‘His Royal Highness’?” Charles originally wanted to talk about Leopold, but thinking of Serava’s acerbic attitude, he added the honorary title.

This woman is so troublesome, I don’t know how to deal with it.

“It was a warm spring,” Serava said shyly, “I…”

“Fast forward to the maiden’s maiden.” Luana swiped through the memories in Leopold’s soul.

The scene changes quickly, the boy keeps growing, his mother dies prematurely, he lives alone because his father is often behind closed doors, the study and the depths of the palace are forbidden areas, and Leopold was never allowed to enter there, where he was never allowed to enter. After the age of five, His Majesty Eduardo never held him again.

He was at a loss for everything, and the special envoys of the king at that time took care of him, took him to learn, let him understand how to march and fight, and let him understand the fun of dancing with knives and guns.

He started yelling so early, asking everyone to come out into the yard and fight him, and he enjoyed the feeling of beating everyone else in a head-to-head fight, one of the few moments in his life when he could get a taste of life.

So people prepared his favorite celebration for him, the knight’s competition. He participated in more than one time, but he was eliminated early in the first few times, because he was still young, and he couldn’t compare with those old knights in terms of strength and experience.

Finally, in the spring of 470, Leopold was eighteen years old.

He rode into the arena, causing countless screams every time he appeared.

Rocher!

Charles widened his eyes.

Leopold sat on the stage, watching Rocher duel with the other knights.

Ciel can also see Rocher eight years ago through this memory. He can’t see her face because she always wears a helmet, and she doesn’t wear special armor that leaves room for her chest. Riding into battle like a real man, Ciel recognized it because of the lion’s cross on her armor.

She swung her slender lance, rampaged the field, stabbed one knight after another, she couldn’t hear any criticism or taunt, just waited for her turn, then she came out, won a beautiful victory, and then left the wailing opponent behind behind.

“She will be the backbone of our country.” Leopold commented at that time, “I have never seen a woman as brave and strong, strict and self-disciplined as her.”

“Fate will make her against us in the future, and she will meet us on the battlefield.” King Eduardo, wearing a dark crown, looks grim, “She will destroy you on the battlefield with a man, destroy you The future, I see. We must stop this, and now we have a chance, Ser Norio of the Blue River has a crush on her, and they will ambush her as she leaves the arena, tarnish her chastity, and make her pregnant The child of the people of the South, bring her back to the South, their descendants will inherit two lands, and she will kill herself after giving birth. Without her to lead, in eight years, you will ensure an epic victory, you will be in food In the case of burning down, defeat the rebel army with outnumbered enemies, and hang the rebels one by one.”

“Impossible, no one can beat me on the battlefield, I already know the skills of leadership, no one can fight against me in this era.” Leopold was young and vigorous, “Dad, I don’t know why you want to hurt Rocher. Countess, you have to protect her! If you don’t go, then I will!”

“My child,” Eduardo said dully, “you are not fit to live in this age, but I will help you, I have seen more, and you will grow through failure. Yes, I will drive Sir Norio away. Go. Go, boy, be a just leader and let no one influence your will.”

Ciel clenched his fists secretly, Roche…

Rocher was knocked down with skill by Sir “Big Bear” Morinn, who was over seventy years old but as strong as an ox, and broke Rocher’s spear with a short sword.

She fell into the loser’s group, and she met the “shower” Ailard. He had a thin beard and a smile on his face, but he was arrogant and conceited in battle. She also stepped forward to lift her visor, but was stopped by Leopold loudly.

Rocher left silently, and never went to the West Coast again.

Did she guess something?

As Leopold who has been victorious all the way, he finally defeated the champion of the loser group, Elad. He was rude, but Leopold had no grudges in his heart, and he took the initiative to help his opponent and win a good reputation.

“Right here.” Luana stopped the moment when Leopold lifted the laurel.

In the corner of the stand, there was a plainly dressed girl, the young Serava, who cleaned the wooden stands for the audience, put down her broom, stared at Leopold, and was completely moved by his heroic appearance.

“I lived for Lord Leopold,” Serava said quietly, “and I am willing to die for him. There are no more terms. I am willing to give everything to him. This is how the master discovered me.”

Let Serava use the snake chain and give this artifact to her for safekeeping, Shire thought to herself, because every envoy of the king may betray, but Serava will not. She knows that if she betrays, The Dark Lord would hurt Leopold, and she never wanted to see that happen.

Kings, princes, kings of demons, special envoys… Is there a chance that these closely intertwined relationship chains will be destroyed?
