Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 250

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 250]

There were three people, a tall and sturdy knight, and two figures wearing cloaks.

Thinking that it might be Shanel and the queen, Ciel took the initiative to approach.

“Hello.” Charles greeted them.

They turned quickly, staring at Ciel.

Shanel wore a dark green cloak, and when she saw Ciel, her expression was still tense, as if she was worried about something.

The other woman was particularly beautiful, with thick lips, blue eyes, a high nose, and long fiery red hair hidden under a brown cotton cap.

They all try to hide their identities.

The knight gave Ciel a particularly unfriendly feeling.

His heavy steel helmet was almost completely closed, with six vertical slits through which he could see the outside world, and at the same time blocked his face, making it impossible to discern his features at all.

Ciel was about to start to say something when the knight strode towards him.

“I want to know who you are.” The knight’s voice was very soft and seductive, which was very incompatible with his majestic and tall physique, more like it came from a male or female eunuch.

“I’m a passerby,” said Charles, “I wonder if you have any advice?”

“No passer-by would try to meddle in court affairs like you,” he said sullenly.

“He followed us all the way here,” Shanel said in dismay. “He was…”

“Don’t reveal my identity, there’s no need.” The authority of the knight seemed to be above Shanel and the woman next to her.

The beautiful woman on the other side had an ugly face, bit her lip, and said nothing.

“I just want to find a job,” said Ciel. “I want to work for Her Majesty the Queen, and maybe that would be a good way out.”

“Not everyone is eligible to enter the Purple Flag Palace. People with unknown origins like you should be strictly tested,” said the knight.

“I can take any test,” said Charles.

“I will know your details, foreigner.” The burly knight folded his arms around his chest, “Come with me, I hope you can pass my ‘test’.”

At the end, he let out a few hoarse grins.

Never take the quiz he offers, and definitely look for a chance to kill him.

Charles frowned.

Chapter 318 Yuga

Charles returned with them to the court.

The Purple Flag Palace has a long history. King Godel built this beautiful palace with his own hands. After that, it was repeatedly strengthened and added by the rulers of successive dynasties.

Ciel raised his head and observed it carefully. The flashy decoration and exquisite structure impressed Ciel deeply.

The outermost layer of the palace is a towering stone wall. The rulers in the Ziqi Palace have been plagued by rebellions, so they built their palaces to be stronger than ordinary castles. At the same time, it defends against threats from the air and on the ground. The wall is ring-shaped and heavily guarded. There are countless tall towers on it. Each tower has a dense number of shooting holes, which are enough to accommodate a large number of soldiers.

Considering its effect on protecting the king’s health, the wall of the Purple Flag Palace is also known as the iron wall of the king.

The knight, Shanel, the strange woman, and Ciel formed a strange team, slowly approaching the entrance and exit of this iron wall.

“I want to know,” Charles asked, “Is Her Majesty the Queen also in our ranks?”

The pretty woman sighed: “…Yes, I’m Anastasia, but I’m just a lackluster woman, don’t…don’t expect too much from me.”

“Don’t worry,” Shanel reassured, “everything will be fine.”

“You two will be unlucky,” said the knight. “You dare to slip out of the court and meet men privately.”

“—it’s not like that!” Shanel said quickly. “He was my savior. He saved my life in the fire.”

“Looking at your anxious appearance, I know you are worrying about your lover. Don’t worry, I will deal with him well. I like dealing with men,” said the knight.

Ciel was not very worried about the danger he would encounter after entering the Purple Flag Palace. He stepped back and said that Leopold was also in the palace.

“I’m just a mercenary,” said Charles. “Sir, what should I call you?”

“My name is Yuga, and I’m not a ‘sir.'” He said in a weird tone, “I’m a woman, a woman through and through.”

woman?

Ciel couldn’t believe such a thing. Yuga was taller than him, and although his voice was a bit unremarkable, he could tell it was a man’s voice.

“Yes…Ms. Yuga.” Ciel responded calmly.

“Not bad.” Yuga was satisfied with Ciel’s response, “Just call me Ms. Yuga.”

“Hey…” Anastasia sighed.

“I’m the queen’s personal bodyguard.” Yuga’s voice was cold, “I want to make sure that the queen and her little girlfriend will not come into contact with any weird people, and you, you’re a passer-by, don’t try to fool around.”

“Um.”

When they came to the entrance and exit of the palace, Xia Er realized that there was something wrong with the Purple Flag Palace.

Not a single person alive.

The top of the city was empty, and the gates were not guarded. Those well-defended facilities were enough for thousands of soldiers to operate together, but there was no one at the moment.

“Where have everyone gone?” Charles asked.

“The king hates noise,” Yuga said.

“…” Anastasia stroked her arm uneasily.

“Just get used to it.” Shanel comforted Ciel.

It turns out that there are almost no living people in the palace?

Shire passed through the city gate and came to a wide grassy area with dense trees, beautiful pavilions, and gurgling fountains. This was the front square of the Ziqi Palace, and there was no one there.

No guards, no servants, no gardeners, no frolicking children, no knights or maidens.

The main body of the palace is a huge four-storey hall, the top is decorated with dark purple tiles, and there are countless statues standing on the edge of the roof, with different postures and blurred faces, holding swords, banjos, shields, and rattan staffs. , bows and other various implements, symbolizing the gods of Meimen Temple who are worshipped in all walks of life and ascend to the sky.

Each floor had checkered windows lined with stained glass, and if each window represented a room, the Charles estimated that there were at least two hundred rooms in the entire palace, enough for the king’s relatives and courtiers to live comfortably. .

There is a large cloister on the ground floor of the palace, supported by many white carved columns, connecting other parts of the Ziqi Palace, such as the side and rear gardens and squares.

Yuga did not take Ciel into the palace, but walked through these pillared corridors, leading him to the rear of the entire palace.

There is a wide field behind the palace for the knights to run and compete, and behind the arena is a staggered hedge, the shrubs are trimmed like the walls, making it appear a complex structure, like a labyrinth, once caught in it, almost There is no escape.

“Again what do you want to do for the queen?” Yuga asked.

“I don’t know,” Ciel shrugged. “I will do whatever the queen wants me to do. I come from a poor background and have no roots, so it’s useless to check.”

“Take your helmet off,” Yuga ordered.

No one has seen me anyway.

Charles took off his helmet.

Yujia carefully observed Ciel, and suddenly made a heavy voice: “Um…”

“What’s your move?” Charles was confused.

“Good man.” Yuga gave Ciel a thumbs up.

“Forget it.” Ciel felt a chill down his spine and put on his helmet again, “I want to follow Her Majesty’s order, it would be better if I could get some money.”

“I’m going to test if your muscles are strong, if your back is broad, if your legs are strong.” Yuga muttered as he walked out. “You wait here, I’m going to get my weapon.”

Ciel sat on the edge of the arena and turned to see a man coming out of the garden labyrinth.

The other person looked very special, very tall, with gray-brown hair, looking lazy, half-asleep.

“Hey.” The man greeted Ciel, “Stranger, interesting, I haven’t seen a stranger in a while.”

Xia Er got up and walked towards the other party: “Purple Flag Palace is really a strange place.”

“Just get used to it.” The man comforted.

“What are you doing between those hedges?” Charles pointed to the wooded path behind the arena.

“Of course I have to collect raw materials. I have grown a lot of plants in it that are suitable for potion raw materials.” The man’s tone was brisk.

“Potion…are you a wizard?” Charles asked curiously.

“Of course,” he said casually. “I’m a wizard.”

“What school?”

“Oh, you asked such a detailed question, then I’ll answer it properly… I’m from the Dragon School.” The man explained.

“The Dragon School is the most warlike school.” Ciel recalled the story he had heard before, “The people of the Dragon School tried to attack Loman.”

“Yeah, war is a good thing, and war can drive development on both sides. In war, we will experiment a lot with new spells and potions, and the Lomans will figure out how to become united. It’s just that it didn’t break out, I I don’t know if it’s good or bad,” he said.

“You seem to know a lot of things. Can I have the honor to know your name? Or is it bothering you?”

“Ah, that’s okay, I like small talk,” he said. “I’m the court wizard of the West Coast. Well, call me Chilan in the Corpse Swamp.”

Hearing that the other party was a court wizard from the west coast, Ciel couldn’t help but be very curious.

The questions he wanted to ask were very sensitive, so Ciel had to go side by side.

“What’s your attitude towards demons?” Ciel asked.

Qilan showed a relaxed expression.

“The Great Swamp sums it up like this. The Otters are good people, the Toads are bastards, the Sandpipers are paranoid, and the Dragons are pragmatists, and I am one of them. So you’ll hear what pragmatists say about the devil: when the devil shares our strength, we accept it humbly; when the devil eats our souls, we stand by; when the devil damages our vital interests, we rise up Resist,” Chilan said.

“But the devil is extremely cunning.” Ciel shook his head, “it will share our harmful power, devour a large number of souls recklessly, making itself unmatched, and when it gets to that point, once it starts to damage our For our vital interests, we don’t even have the strength to resist.”

“Pragmatists will obey,” Kilan raised his hand, his hand flying like a boat in the air. “Since the devil is so powerful, why don’t we work for it well, and let the devil follow his lead?”

“…No, because the demons will deprive us of our souls and kill our fellow men,” Ciel said.

“My soul alone is of limited value,” Chilan said with a smile, “if I help a demon, and he can eat tens of thousands of other souls with my help, it will surely spare my life, because The devil’s survival logic is to eat more souls, I know this, so as long as I try to serve the devil, the devil will not kill me. And the devil kills my fellow? What does my fellow have to do with me? We are born Lonely, without any social connections, the so-called compatriots are those who sell you high-priced goods in peacetime, compete with you for job opportunities, push you to the enemy in wartime, and take away your last grain of food. They die at the hands of demons, Instead, it saved me the trouble.”

It was difficult for Ciel to understand Qilan’s remarks.

Seeing Ciel’s gaze, Qilan knew that Ciel had something to say.

“No,” Qilan shook his head, “I’m free, but I don’t have time. Not today, I have a spell book to read. I don’t have time to discuss this with you, my dear Mr. Passerby, you are in such a hurry, but Don’t be distracted by my weak little wizard, I just want to spend today peacefully, tomorrow peacefully, and the day after tomorrow. You still have an appointment with that Yuga, I hope he will be kind to you One point, he’s always perverted.”

“…I understand.” Charles nodded, “Goodbye.”

Kilan put his hands behind his head and walked away while humming.

Ciel turned his head and saw Anastasia, she took off her hood, revealing the golden and white clothes she was wearing, with her hands folded in front of her belly, her eyes lowered, and she looked pitiful.

“Will you keep me safe?” Anastasia said quickly.

“I will.” Charles replied without hesitation.

“I beg you,” Anastasia said calmly, “for the sake of a woman’s chastity and safety, please be sure to repel Yuga and become my new bodyguard.”
