Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 222

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 222]

“Leopold is an unlucky bastard. We can gain his trust. We just need to use him desperately and squeeze his residual value.”

“Sometimes I wonder if I should do something to help other people.” Ciel mused, “But in the end, I found that either I didn’t need it, or I didn’t have much to offer. However, even so, encountering similar Things, the first thought is still: Can I change the situation of other people? Let the suffering people get redemption, whether it is ordinary people or princes. This is what the devil hunters do. The devil disturbs the village, go to Rescue, everyone is happy. However, in fact, I rarely do it, what is missing in this?”

“Power,” Gladiu said.

“Luck,” Luana said, “all you lack is a bit of luck. If you live in a relatively normal environment and don’t have so many powerful demons lining up to ravage you, maybe you’ll soon become famous and fight wherever you go. Where to go, become a hero of the world. But it is different now, we, the special envoy of the king, control everything behind the scenes, others only watch from the side of the stage, and have no chance to take the lead.”

“‘Our King’s Envoy,'” Ciel wondered, “have you really… accepted your return? What if you were taken to see the Dark Master…”

“Don’t let them do this.” Luanna was a little nervous, “Ciel, don’t let them do this, will you stay with me? Will you stay with me? I’m more at ease when you’re here, if I’m alone , maybe they will really take me to see the master, and at that time, my life and death will not be decided by myself…”

“Are there any special envoys who hate you?”

“Yes, yes. There are almost three factions among the special envoys, one is the prince’s party, the other is the king’s party, and the other is loyal to the dark master. I belong to the outsider, I will not join any side, and I can only rely on the prince’s party and you. To survive. It’s not a bad thing, because as long as we’re together, it’s hard for them to get on us, and I have a chance to find what I want on the West Coast.”

“What do you want?”

“I want to take revenge on the doctor who denounced me at the beginning, and then I want to find the second half of the book I want. My spells are only the first half of the book. If I can gather the second half, I will use the The spells that catalysts can create are even more terrifying.” Luana said firmly.

“Before that, we have to find the whereabouts of White Wedge.”

“How can Bai Wedge be so easy to find?” Luana heard Ciel mention it.

The carriage stopped suddenly.

“To the west coast?”

“No.” Luanna was a little alert. “It’s far away, at most to the suburbs.”

The coachman shouted outside: “His Royal Highness let everyone down!”

Shire lifts the curtains, it is a rare sunny day outside, the snow is dazzling in the sun, surrounded by a winter field scene, looking around, there are undulating terrain, the dead trees on the mountains are covered with snow, and in the west, In the distance, you can see a large-scale city. The port, the palace and the tower are quite eye-catching. The whole city is surrounded by high walls. Its scale is beyond the imagination of the Shire.

“That’s the West Coast.” Ciel noted the distance.

“Don’t worry about the West Coast.” Luana frowned. “Be careful of this place, I’ve never hated it.”

“This is…” Charles turned to look for Leopold, and when he saw Leopold, he couldn’t help but be startled.

Leopold was gleefully pointing at a quiet garden, with cascading stone steps leading to a majestic mausoleum high up on the hill, a spectacle indeed.

Shire can guess where it is. The Mausoleum of Kings is the tomb where the rulers of Loman are buried. King Godel who founded the country and his descendants are buried here. It also includes the tomb of King Edvard, Edvard. Walking in the world during his lifetime, ascending to the sky as a god after his death, and at the same time building the Hall of Beauty Gate, this is the nominal resting place of King Luoman.

On both sides of the road leading to the mausoleum, there were rows of huge white trees. These trees were exactly the same as the frost-white trees that Varanelle had shown him, but they were taller and older.

He knew very well that these… were all white wedges.

Chapter 284 Mausoleum of Kings

Ciel stepped on the stone steps and felt a trance.

In this tomb, the kings of the past are buried. They are all descendants of the blood of King Godel. If Eduardo had not seized power with the power of the king of darkness, the Romanian family would continue to rule the entire kingdom, and the blood would be unbroken from generation to generation.

“It’s a dark place,” Luana whispered, following Ciel.

“We ought to pay homage to the first king,” Leopold declared. “Unless the kings foreshadow that I should inherit the throne, I cannot stand against my father with peace of mind.”

It’s absurd, the Softel family seized power from the Godel line, how could the ancient kings support you?

Charles thought to himself.

“The kings will support you.” Serava walked at the same speed as Leopold, but deliberately walked behind him, no more than a step, “If they refuse, we will destroy the tomb and make their Souls are scattered out of the sky.”

“Serava, do not desecrate the ancient king,” Leopold said uneasily. “It will anger them, just like my father, who has been ill since he was blown down here by the evil wind.”

“Luanna! Luanna! It’s all your good deeds. You know that the existence of kings is bad for His Majesty’s health!” Doria jumped in anger.

“If not, if His Majesty Eduardo is healthy, how can it be his turn to inherit the authority of Lord Leopold? I have arranged this in advance to facilitate the present.” Luana explained with a smile, “Your Majesty has ruled for so long, It’s time for bed rest too, what do you think?”

“Hmmm…hmph.” Doria had a hard time finding a convenient excuse to refute. She glared at Luana, then walked forward with her head buried in it, carrying the warhammer on her shoulders.

There are hundreds of steps leading up to the top, and the huge white trees on both sides look quite solemn. Unfortunately, Charles can’t cut them down with great fanfare, and he can’t cut these white wedges and send them back to the Ash Tree Hall. , too many people watched.

It stands to reason that the ancient elves gave a large number of white wedges to the ancient king of Edwo, and they are likely to be buried in the tomb together as funerary objects. That is to say, if you can enter the tomb, you may be able to find those white wedges .

“There are many beautiful, ancient souls under here, protected by exquisite witchcraft.” Gladiu muttered, “If they can be absorbed, power! Power will flow in continuously! That should How wonderful!”

“You can’t let you devour the souls of kings.” Charles felt strange.

“What do you mean? Is the soul of the king worth more than the soul of the commoners? The soul is the soul, and the soul either enters the circulatory system of your world, or enters the belly of our demons. The souls that linger in the world and refuse to retreat are the great ones. Cancer, I am doing justice.” Gladiu spoke confidently.

“I mean,” said Shire, “the kings deliberately kept their souls out of reincarnation, probably for their own purposes, maybe they just wanted to keep their souls, at the right time. Show up, guide us, protect us. Just as before, they made a gust of wind to bring down King Eduardo, they’re useful.”

“People with high status, even their souls are more important than ordinary people? Take a good look at how unfair the world created by intelligent creatures is. The most terrifying thing is that you are accustomed to this…” Gladiu was very dissatisfied.

The mausoleum is divided into two layers, the outer part is a large altar, and nine large statues stand around the top of the hill. Charles looked up at the statues. Their faces were blurred, their clothes were different, and they cast huge shadows with the winter light.

After the split sun, the forests on which the elves depended withered along with the ecological changes. King Godel issued a relocation order, declaring that all the places with no trees and vast land were the Loman’s territory since ancient times, which greatly expanded Luoman. The territory of the Kingdom of Man.

Other Loman settlements were once divided by forests and could not communicate with each other. After hearing the order of King Godel, they sent messengers to swear allegiance to King Godel, and provided money and soldiers to the first king in exchange for land and privileges, so Formed the earliest nobility.

These nine statues symbolize the nine largest dignitaries, but the dignitaries have all perished in the historical changes.

Father and son died in battle, the plague spread, the family died out, and now no family survives.

Nine dignitaries, as well as the underground old royal family of Romania, ten nobles have lost their main titles.

Thinking of this, Charles felt a little absurd.

“Where are the dragon hunters?” Leopold looked at the empty altar.

Behind the altar was a black door with a giant dragon skull on it. Ciel looked at the large skeleton. Its horns were slender and its teeth were as sharp as new.

Those empty eye sockets had witnessed the coming and going of kings, offering sacrifices before they were alive and offering sacrifices after they died.

The black door under the keel might lead to the ground, but Xia Er was not quite sure.

“What is a dragon hunter?” Ciel asked Luana.

“The king’s immediate bodyguard,” Luana replied in a low voice, “but since Eduardo came to power, they refused to fulfill their obligations and turned to guard the tombs of the kings.”

“They are only loyal to the old royal family? Doesn’t the old royal family still have an army?”

“Dragon hunting guards don’t want to be involved in disputes. They are an elite who have lost their allegiance. They swear to protect the descendants of the ‘leader’ Dade I, and guard the Ziqi Palace to the death. They have also done this in history. , several times the rebels were unable to conquer the palace. But now the situation has changed, the people on the throne are no longer Romanians, what can they do? They hate Eduardo, but they can’t rebel, so they Isn’t it from a king to a rebel? Such a thing…they can’t accept it themselves. You see, people with principles are restricted everywhere.” Luanna sneered.

Serava looked around: “The dragon hunting guards have withdrawn.”

“Remove?” Leopold was puzzled. “They were still patrolling here last month, and I said hello to them when I was out hunting.”

“There are no more, their number is getting smaller and smaller, no one is willing to join this hopeless team, Your Highness, let’s go.” Serava persuaded.

Leopold looked at the empty altar, still on one knee, with his head on his knee, silently praying to the rulers of the past, chanting prayers in a low voice.

“Lorman kings, please listen to my voice,” he whispered, “I, Leopold Soffertaire, hereby ask your blessings, I will clean up the evil, exorcise the evil, protect the people, expand the Territory, fulfill your duties, and live up to expectations. King Godel, the stalwart, please grant me the legitimacy of my rule; His Majesty Dade I, the leader, please grant me the majesty to command thousands of troops and defeat all powerful enemies; Your Majesty Gerald I, please grant me the power to sweep away foreign enemies and bridge the division of the country; Your Majesty the One-Legged Guy II, please grant me a mind as skilled as your craftsman, so that I can be meticulous and unfavorable… …”

What nicknames will people give to this father and son in the future?

Charles thought to himself.

He could almost guess, it must be “Witch King” Eduardo, “Witch Prince” Leopold.

Well…provided people survive and live in a new era dominated by humans.

If demons invade, Eduardo and Leopold may both be lauded as models for embracing demons.

“That’s right, they know what to do, they know they can live by obedience, they can bring more people to life. For most people, as long as they can stop the demon invasion, whether it’s done under the aegis of darkness , or being rescued by a demon hunter, the result is the same. They did nothing, they waited at home for the results, they didn’t matter, most people couldn’t make a difference at all, and they didn’t know anything.” Diu said.

“mortal……”

“Mortals are so far away from the vortex of world change. They are the pillars that support this society and can only bear the pressure. When society collapses, many pillars will be crushed by that weight, and at the same time they will not be able to do anything.” Gladiu said .

“You compare everyone to a pillar, which means that everyone is too important. If the pillars refuse to accept it one day, society will perish.” Ciel thought for a while, and then replied.

“Will they refuse to take it? Do they have the courage to say no? As long as they are praised as ‘pillars’, they will even be willing to give, and intelligent creatures ask for very little.” Gladiu said sharply.

I was also born from mortals, and Ciel always felt that this was not the case.

I’m one of them, and I’m working on their behalf so that when the crisis is resolved, people can find their way out on their own.

I believe that we will eventually evolve into a new world that is a thousand times better than now, as long as I buy hundreds of generations for everyone, let me stop the demon invasion!

Protecting the world, once a distant concept, is now within reach.

Ciel looked back at the pale trees on both sides of the steps. Each branch was made of white wedges, which could maintain the stability of the world space and prevent the demons from opening cracks.

Leopold finished his prayer, and Charles found him a little lost.

I don’t know when there was a layer of white fog around, wrapping the mausoleum, and no longer able to see the distant scene.

“What’s wrong?” Ciel turned his head and found that Luanna and the others had disappeared. The king’s envoys seemed to be enveloped in white mist and could not enter.

The black door at the end of the altar suddenly opened, and a gust of wind gushes out from it and blows towards Leopold.

Leopold was actually–

“Charles Grani…”

“Charles Grani…”

“Charle Grani…” An old and majestic voice came from the door, chanting his name.

The ground shook violently, and Ciel nearly fell.

“They are bringing wolves into the house, it’s time to devour the souls of the kings.” Gladiu was excited.

“It’s the kings…their souls…need me.” Ciel saw that the white mist was dissipating, Serava waved the chain of snakes, the chains of white snakes sprang out, and frantically absorbed the cloud and mist.

It would be too late if he didn’t leave, Ciel gritted his teeth and threw himself into the black door.

The moment he stepped inside the door, the door closed abruptly, making a loud noise behind him.

Chapter 285 The Water Trap

Charles originally thought it was a stone secret room, and there would be corridors and spiral staircases after entering.

I didn’t expect to take a step forward and it was the abyss.

Immediately, his body fell, falling into the infinite darkness.

There was no light source inside, and no sound could be heard. He wanted to shout, but found that he couldn’t make it out either.

Darkness is another form of fear. In this case, Ciel can’t see anything, and the unknown is formed where he can’t see, and the boundless unknown brings unprecedented pressure.

Besides, he was still falling rapidly.

“Such a high distance…” Charles felt a burst of nervousness in his heart, “…you will fall to your death when you land.”

“It’s worse than falling to your death.”

boom!

Water splashes everywhere.

A huge impact slammed into his body.

He fell into a deep pool of water, and the current quickly drowned his whole body. He was dizzy, his limbs swayed, and he tried to get out of trouble, but the heavy armor kept sinking.

He was quickly suffocated, unable to open his eyes, and the water blocked his five senses, which was more terrifying than falling, because he could foresee the horror of his own drowning.

The water was freezing cold, taking away his body heat, and he soon felt faint and sleepy.

He opened his mouth unconsciously and poured water into his mouth. He took several sips, and even his stomach was cold.

Nausea, nausea, clothes and armor all stick together.

Soon he sank to the bottom, his body pressed against the rocky ground, tightly pressed by the low-temperature water, unable to move.

Those dark things around…the humanoid…are they bones?

drowning… drowning… just like them…
