Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 259

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 259]

“I’ll be careful,” she said softly, “the road is dangerous.

“You should hire some guards.” Ciel handed her a dozen gold coins.

“I know.”

Ai Lin’s eyes stayed on the noisy street for a while, she rested for a while, and then she had the strength to speak.

“It feels amazing,” she whispered, “I’ve seen other demon hunters come and go, shouting, laughing, taking tasks, running up and down, fighting for a common purpose. But for a long time …for the past few decades, I’ve been a bystander, a marginalized outcast from society, doing basically nothing, even in the sanctuary of Pendra. But now that’s changed, you let I brought these two books to your companions in Ashtree Hall, and it makes me feel like I’m part of your witch hunt too.”

“You never were.”

“I regret it,” Ellen said. “I tried to sue the king, I was persecuted, and the demon hunters protected me, but I didn’t repay everyone. I regret it. I thought what the demon hunters did was pointless. When I found out all this When it matters, it’s too late and everyone has already lost or died.”

“There is hope in living,” said Charles.

Ellen looked at Ciel imploringly.

“Charle Grani, is that the name?” she said. “I’ll take the book to Ashtree Hall, and I’ll pray every now and then that you’ll be like the famous demon hunters, defeating one terrible demon after another. , to protect the most ordinary of us from supernatural threats.”

“I decided to do this a long time ago,” Charles greeted her.

Elaine stood up slowly, although she was old, she tried to keep herself decent.

“It’s a pity I’m getting old,” she said.

“This means more experience and experience. You and Etienne are of a generation. You can tell his story to the recruits. Everyone must love to hear it.” Charles said.

“I mean, I’m so old that I don’t have the strength to praise you or describe your feats. Now, I can only say with all my strength that in this vast world, there is a small person who is not limited by form. , not being oppressed by fate, in order to prevent a natural disaster, the most incredible power broke out.” Ellen said.

Charles was stunned.

“Your business should have been written in a book, but now I can only say one sentence.” Ellen greeted Ciel.

After saying that, she left the temple and walked towards the West Coast Sanctuary.

Charles went up and stood high on the steps.

With his back to the closed temple, he overlooked the bustling winter city below.

Lord of Darkness, you have played against me, you probably already know that between you and this whole world, there is another me, and I have absolute faith to fight against you.

If I were a beast, I’d bite a piece of meat off you.

If I were a knife, I would cut you in half.

If I were the light, I would drive you away completely.

Now, as an upright human being, I will win over you, over all your puppets, over your carefully nurtured envoys, over those fallen heroes corrupted by you.

Give it a go, no regrets.

Unconsciously, he clenched the gray knife.

Chapter 329 The Crown

Later in the day, Charles went to see Leopold for the last time.

“Are you okay?” Charles looked a little nervous when he saw Leopold.

“My father,” Leopold said wistfully, “he was a great man.”

“But he should be dead.”

“No, Charles,” said Leopold, “I am not preventing you from killing him, in fact, you are my best friend, and I think you are the only one qualified to take his noble life. Other executioners , other special envoys, they are not qualified to hurt him.”

“It’s hard for you, I know.”

Leopold smiled wearily.

“Tomorrow the sun will rise again,” he said. “After the night has passed, the whole country will see a new dawn, and it will be all worth it. Charles, we will usher in a new dawn led by you and me. I know that if father If I don’t die, people will never be able to truly trust me. My father’s rule is peaceful, but there are many dark shadows. I will let the people live a more secure life. As long as everyone listens to me, everyone’s life will be better.”

“I’m glad you mentioned me.”

“Shouldn’t it be like this? I have always believed in you. We have known each other for a long time. From enemy to friend, I feel that you are getting more and more special. Among all the people I have met, you are the most special one. The most reliable and trustworthy,” Leopold said.

“You say that, I feel a little ashamed, there are still many deficiencies.”

“No matter what happens, you will support my rule, right?”

“Yes,” said Charles. “Really, who else can I support to be king?”

Leopold looked out the window.

“Father’s illness is getting worse and worse, the kings hate him, and his physical condition has deteriorated drastically. Before, someone gave my father a decoction that didn’t work well. He once told me about his pain. Over the past few years, He has been suffering from endless illness, and perhaps death is a relief for him.”

“He will certainly want you to take the throne,” Charles said.

“I hope so. Ah, I really hope to live up to his expectations, I have so many plans and schemes in my mind that I can almost see my incomparably loyal citizens lining up to salute me. Go, Charles, go Come on.” Leopold pressed his forehead, “I can’t bear to see that scene, please let my father die neatly and happily.”

“Definitely.” Charles nodded.

Where is Serava?

Ciel looked around the room, only the sun was setting, but she couldn’t see her.

“What are you looking at?” Leopold asked.

“No.” Charles retired.

Is Serava not in the palace?

It stands to reason that she should follow Leopold around.

It seemed safer to act if she wasn’t there.

He went to the depths of the Purple Flag Palace.

After passing through the spiral staircase, Ciel came to the underground part of the palace.

There are still paintings, knight statues and carpets in the interior of the palace, indicating that it was once inhabited, but the underground part is unadorned, and the whole body is made of stone bricks.

Ciel echoed crisply with every step he took.

If only I wore leather boots or silent boots, I’m not used to being an assassin, this is the first time.

Just when I was thinking about it, here it is.

Walking through a relatively narrow corridor, he faced a black door with seven large locks hanging from top to bottom.

He took out the keys, compared them a little, opened the locks one by one, and put them at his feet.

One or two, three five, seven, all locks are eventually unlocked.

Is the same darkness behind the door?

It was very heavy, and Charles put his shoulders against the door and pushed the door open. Unexpectedly, he saw a very bright room.

It covers a large area. There are irregular stone brick patterns on the walls, no wallpaper, and there is a black chandelier in the middle. Twelve candles are lit brightly, and the white candle tears melt and solidify.

Cabinets, bookshelves and pianos are leaning against the wall, standing lamps are placed behind sofas and chairs, tableware is set on small round tables, everything looks full of life.

On the bedstead was golden drapery and thick purple quilt, where Eduardo Soffertel, King of Lomans, lay.

Charles tiptoed closer to the king without making a sound.

He had seen this scene in the cyan fantasy, and there was almost no change between the two.

King Eduardo still wears the black crown.

The crown is a symbol of endless darkness and death, haunted by black evil light, and the warning of depravity is engraved on it.

What a horrible thing.

Charles thought to himself.

The Witch King Eduardo uses this crown that dominates the hearts of the people to manipulate the entire country. He creates false inheritances, controls the world for the King of Darkness, and also recruits people to join the dark camp.

But now, all sins will end under my sword.

Eduardo was extremely old, wrinkled and unconscious.

His hair was gray, and his pajamas were the same color. He was stained with dirt and stench all over his body. It seemed that no one had come to take care of the old man for a long time.

How pitiful, but pity was not reserved for him.

Ciel pulled out the knife and slashed at the bed with force, piercing the bedding and slashing through Eduardo’s old and rotten body in an instant. Immediately afterwards, Ciel swung the knife upward, cutting Eduardo’s head and neck, and a fountain of blood poured out. Rolling his head on the pillow, he didn’t open his eyes until he died, and Charles suspected that he had died before he felt any pain.

It’s so cheap for him.

“Good thing.” Gladiu noticed the dark crown, “I only realized how wonderful this thing is when I got closer.”

“What?” Ciel reached out and carefully took off the Dark Crown.

“This is a magic artifact created by darkness. It has penetrated the psychological logic of human beings and designed a set of techniques that can control the minds of all humans around. Darkness has really stayed in this world for a long time.”

“Despicable mind control.”

“There is nothing to say about this kind of trick. The key is that there is still a piece of power from the King of Darkness in it. If I can copy that piece of power, I can decipher its power logic, and defeat it even more. I’m sure.”

“Now that the crown is in my hands, study it slowly,” said Ciel.

“Okay, in fact, it will be completed soon.” Gladiu took out a piece of soul residue and used it to copy the information inside the Dark Crown, “Darkness is too careless, which shows that it did not expect someone to kill Eduardo at all. ”

“Could it be a trap?” Charles looked around, the room looked calm.

“No, there is no crisis cipher text here.” Gladiu said, “This power fragment is real… We have fought between each other, it has my power fragment, so it knows how to deal with me, and I basically did not defeat it. Emboldened. But now, from now on, it can’t arbitrarily manipulate me…”

Charles turned to look at Eduardo who was killed by him, everything was like a dream.

The king was killed by me, history was changed by me, and even the flaws of the dark king are now exposed.

I… I finally did something, I could even say, I accomplished a big event!

I can finally tell people without guilt that I am a famous hunter with merit.

Master Etienne, would you be relieved to see all this?

Footsteps approached.

Someone came, and Charles looked out, it was Leopold walking through the dark corridor.

“Your Highness, it’s over.” The knife in Ciel’s hand was still dripping blood.

“Father…” Leopold looked at Eduardo, who was almost dismembered on the bed, “Hey…”

“You are king now,” said Charles.

“Yeah.” Leopold looked at the dark crown in Ciel’s hand, “Give me the crown.”

“Gladius, have you finished recording the fragments?” Ciel asked inwardly.

“It’s over, you can destroy the crown at any time,” Gladiu said.

Ciel took the crown in his hand and raised it with a knife, ready to chop it off.

“What are you doing?” Leopold hurriedly reached out to stop him.

“Destroy it, it’s a fallen artifact,” Ciel said.

“Maybe fall, but I need it,” Leopold said.

“Need it? What do you need this for?”

“I need a crown to rule, and there are definitely many people who will oppose me, many people in the country will take advantage of this, my father is dead, conspirators, assassins and rebels will rise against me overnight, and the joint council of nobles will start to quarrel. But with the power of the crown, I can bring them all to their knees. It’s a treasure fit for a ruler.”

“For the kind of incompetent ruler, the kind of person who relies heavily on magic,” said Ciel.

“It can make everything simple and fast. I don’t want Loman to die in civil wars and disagreements in the future. As long as everyone comes to worship me who has the crown, it’s good to be united.” Leopold Say.

“Why do you think so?”

“It’s not a whim, I’ve thought about it for a long time, my father has been in bed for so many years, wasting the power of the crown, that’s why our country is in a civil war because no one is going to use its power.”

“It’s not ‘power’, it’s ‘demon power’.”

“Devil or god, all I know is that it will go a long way in my rule, and I will be the most powerful king ever. Everyone says that,” Leopold said.
