Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 270

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 270]

“What kind of person is the patriarch?”

“He assigns responsibilities to all the dwarves to ensure that each of us dwarves go to the post he is best at. He also adjusts the ration of materials and organizes the expansion of the fortress. He is our most impartial leader.” sit down.

“If the patriarch assigns positions to everyone, who will choose the patriarch? Is it a father-son inheritance?”

“After the death of the previous patriarch, Dumark will send down the oracle and let the fairest, calmest, and best-understood dwarf among us be the new patriarch.”

“So because you are good at fighting and have leadership skills, the patriarch appointed you to be the sergeant major.” Ciel said.

“right.”

“Then what did you like to do?”

“Boil the mushrooms.” Heijagesen pointed to the boiling iron pot. “Look at the mushrooms melting in the water. If you look closely, they will glow. It absorbs heat and turns into light, just like raw mushrooms.”

Heijagesen took out another dried mushroom and threw it into the pot.

Charles carefully observed that the mushrooms were heated in the boiling water, and the blue-gray spots on the surface fell off, forming countless luminous fragments, shining in the water and illuminating the walls of the pot. Gagson watched intently.

“Then why not be a cook?”

“The patriarch feels that there are enough cooks in the fortress,” said Hejgagsen.

“If you apply, you might be able to become a chef instead.”

“Only the patriarch assigns us posts, demarcates our living quarters and forbidden areas in the fortress, and arranges our schedule. We cannot raise objections.”

“You’ve come here with me on a serious schedule.”

“So you have to tell the patriarch, let me change careers to be a disaster striker killer. The patriarch may listen to the opinions of outsiders. This is a foreign affairs.” Hejagesen said.

“You’re starting to like being a Scourgeman killer.”

“No, I just think that there may be more opportunities to cook mushrooms alone. While searching the crypts for Disaster Walkers, cooking alone, that’s great.” Hejagesen took out another handful of mushrooms from the sack. , into the pot.

Rest after eating.

Ciel and Heigagsen leaned back and lay down each.

He wanted to rest but couldn’t sleep, his mind was full of things, and his mind was full of thoughts and memories.

Hejjgsen got up, walked to Ciel’s side, and looked down at him.

“You look sad,” Heiggson said.

“What? No.” Charles pretended to be relaxed.

“I see it all,” Heiggson said. “If you’re not happy, you’re less productive, you can’t complete the task sheet. Then there’s not enough food, there’s not enough tools, the ingredients aren’t delivered in time, and the fortress shuts down, which is terrible. So You have to chat with me to clear things up.”

Ciel grabbed a piece of metal, possibly part of a shelf, and held it in front of him to play with.

His thoughts returned to the hometown of the haunted dream.

“Loman.” Charles murmured, “My home.”

“I’ve heard of it, west of the Yamane Empire, a coastal country,” said Heigagsen.

“Where I came from, I’m going back there.” Ciel felt an unprecedented sadness. “Everyone thought I was dead, and we lost all communication for a few years. After I get there, I will find that things are different.”

“Are there any important people there?”

“My women,” murmured Charles, “Alicia loves me, Luana knows me, Rocher has me in my heart. They think I’m dead, how are they doing now? They were when I left. With my kids, the kids haven’t seen their dad since they were born.”

“You have a baby? Congrats,” Heiggson said.

I did it with Alicia many times before I left. Rocher didn’t leave until I was pregnant, and Luanna had a high probability, and Anastasia might also…

“I want to go back to see my children.” Ciel stretched out his hand and stroked the phantom in the air, “In order for them to live in a world without demons in the future, I will continue to fight and fight the demons to the end, and the terrible demons will be controlled by me. Come down and everyone will be safe.”

Thinking that Alicia might be living a life without him, Charles felt heartbroken, and just wanted to hurry back to her to protect her and tell her that he was still alive.

Will Luanna be hunted down by the king’s envoy, and whether Rocher has been harassed by rumors?

All kinds of worries suffocated in Charles’ heart.

“Worrying makes your judgment weak, and you have to sleep,” Heiggson said.

“I can’t rest, there are many dangers here,” said Ciel.

“You have to rest, my mood is stable, you haven’t. I’m a dwarf, I can drink when I’m nervous, you can’t.”

“I can’t say that either. You are injured. I should be on duty first.” Ciel got up.

“This injury is nothing to a well-trained dwarf soldier, don’t worry about me.” Helgagson pressed Ciel back to the ground.

“you……”

“You need to have a dream,” Heigagesen instructed. “Have a dream in which your wife and children are laughing and laughing, a big and beautiful dream. Trust me, it will come true in the future.”

He was right.

Even if it’s a fantasy, I’m desperate to see them again right now.

Charles took a deep breath, lay back on the ground, closed his eyes, and breathed evenly.

He relaxed his vigilance, relaxed his muscles, and let his consciousness slowly sleep.

Then he really started dreaming.

He dreamed of a large-scale wedding, the sky was clear, the guests flocked, and the children were running on the petals all over the floor.

Everyone present was dressed in formal attire and applauded.

While he was sitting under the tree, Alicia murmured in his arms, describing her love for Ciel with a certain naive tone.

Luana, wearing a white wedding dress with a weary face, cursed at those who approached her.

Roche raised her hair and looked serious. She repeatedly confirmed the size of the women’s clothes to the attendant. Noticing Ciel’s gaze, Roche kept silent.

There are other women standing looming beside me, wait a minute?

Do I have that many wives?

Overall…it’s good.

If everything was real, if it wasn’t a dream…how nice it would be.

Everyone, wait for me for a while, wait for me for a while.

I’ll go back to see you right away.

Just wait a little longer for me…

“This is a dream! It’s just a dream! No dreaming! No rest! Stand up for me as long as you still have the energy!” Gladiu slammed the dream with his fist, and the sky and the earth cracked in an instant, and the wonderful wedding fell into nothingness .

He woke up and reconnected to the cold reality.

All around is normal.

Hejageson turned his head to see Ciel, with a concerned look on his face.

“Are you ok?”

“It’s nothing.” Charles pressed his forehead, “How long have I slept?”

“Not long, what did you dream of?”

“Indescribable.”

Did I dream of Gladius destroying my dream, or did I have a good dream, but Gladius used his power from a distance to destroy it?

Chapter 341 Restart

After a sufficient rest, it is necessary to continue to set off and try to recover the cliff cave.

There are weapons that Charr likes in the warehouse.

crossbow.

“I like this.” Ciel picked up a large dwarf crossbow, stronger than the crossbow he used before, made of brass and extremely heavy.

The crossbow string is flexible, it should not be sewn with mushroom silk, it is more like some kind of biological tendon.

“It’s mounted on the ballista,” said Helgagson.

“I can use it.” Charle gestured, feeling that a large arrow of this caliber could easily shoot through armor, “What animal’s tendons are used for this crossbow string?”

He picked up a barrel of crossbow arrows and filled an arrow into the big crossbow in advance.

“The back tendons of the cave worm,” Heigagson said.

“Sounds disgusting.”

“We don’t have the convenience of going to the ground to hunt,” Heigagsen explained. “If you want to eat meat, you have to catch worms. Cave worms dig all over the ground, and they will dig away our mushrooms. They are pests and need to be treated regularly. Their shells It can be used to carve or make shields, the meat can be eaten, the eggs can be hatched to raise small worms, or they can also be used as food. The skin can also be used to make clothes…”

“Where’s the snake? There are also snakes underground.” Ciel thought of the Serpentborn who didn’t deal with the dwarves.

“Snakes are villains and deceivers, so stay away,” Heiggson said. “Snakes never tell the truth. They steal our children in the darkest of seasons.”

“Oh, your duties are assigned by the patriarch, so the marriage and love will not be handled by the patriarch. The patriarch decides your marriage room, the number and time of having children, and even stipulates the body position.” At this moment, his imagination took a leap.

“This is a complicated issue, mainly determined by the female dwarves.” Hejgagson said, “Our lifespan is not the same as yours. We live longer, and can live more than two hundred years. The female dwarves will end up in this long period of time. After several marriages, the couple lived in the double room reserved for the fortress, divorced after the child was born, the dwarf woman chose a husband again, and the child was jointly raised by the entire fortress.”

“Only married couples can live in double rooms,” said Charles.

“Yes, when I was single, I lived in a collective barracks, divided by gender. Eight to twenty dwarves lived in one barracks… This is the case in our fortress, and other places are similar.”

“Humans are different. We are a family living in one house, couples rarely get divorced after marriage, and then couples raise children together. Loman men can marry many wives, and other places seem to be monogamous.”

“The patriarch said that human society is made up of families, and each family guards their private property. The main reason for the union of husband and wife is to form an economic alliance with at least two people advancing and retreating together to resist risks.”

“But the dwarves are different. The supplies of the dwarves’ fortress are prepared for each dwarf and distributed according to their needs, and there is no need to form a long-term family.” Ciel said.

“I don’t understand this. The patriarch knows a lot. He will talk to you a lot of similar things. The patriarch has Dumark’s revelation and is very smart.”

“…Have you ever been married?” Charles asked curiously.

“I don’t have any idea,” Hejgagsen untied the bandage, the wound underneath had scabbed over, and it healed quickly, he began to wear armor, “…When I was very young, I mixed into the caravan and visited the Izumo clan. The fortress, their fortress is built on a high mountain, you can touch the mist and white clouds when you open the window. I saw a very beautiful female dwarf there. If I have a chance, I want to show it in front of her and let her live in the long There is a chance in my life to choose me as her husband. But it took me a few years to realize that a dwarf woman from a clan will only choose a male dwarf from her own clan as her husband, and we have no chance.”

“I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Are you sorry? I don’t know how to say it, but… I’ve heard that human beings are free to marry, that’s great.” Heigagesen said.

“For us, love is an eternal topic of praise.”

“We don’t pay attention to this, but I can probably guess what kind of emotion love is.” Hejergson was neatly dressed and took up his arms. “When I think about her appearance, I work hard to get rid of my thoughts. I will Remember her face until she’s buried in the grave. Um…do you miss anyone in particular besides your wife?”

“Apart from women, what I miss… is, there is a ‘thing’ that I miss very much. It is evil and shameless, dark and vicious, selfish, cruel and violent.”

Heigagson frowned.

“Then you still miss it,” he said.

“Because it really helped me a lot, and it has been with me for a very long time. Now that I am lost, it is impossible to say that I don’t want it.”

“I see.”

“I must pay it back,” said Charles.

“How to do it?”

“Beat it, kill it and banish it, prove to it my powers now. He deserves it,” said Ciel.

Since I was the one who let Gladiu survive, let me drive it back to hell.

“I wish you success.” Hejageson carried the warhammer on his shoulders, “We have to collect some supplies from the warehouse and set off.”
