Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 297

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 297]

The villagers leaned over and pointed at Ciel.

He turned his head and saw Bellereu’s face grim, Laurentus and several other village soldiers, and the Chervins approaching.

This battle… the big men of the Chervin Society are very concerned about the safety of this house.

If I open the house, what will I see?

“It’s impolite to break in.” Bellerius snorted coldly, “Have you exposed your true nature?”

“It’s just an unremarkable empty room.” Rob shook his head, “You’d better not destroy it indiscriminately.”

“We believe in you, but you treat us like this?” Shi Feline shouted, her facial features were already wrinkled due to aging, and when they were angry, they crowded together, making them even more ugly.

“Let’s go, my lord, it’s time to eat.” Seth of Belor also advised.

go now?

“Better empty,” said Charles.

He stabbed in with a knife, and amid the exclamations of the crowd, he turned his weapon, pried the door open, and pushed in.

squeak-

The door shaft is too worn and makes a very annoying noise when turning.

After entering, Ciel saw an empty room with nothing in it except a few fur rugs on the ground and a dried deer head hanging on the wall. It seemed that it was originally a house where hunters lived, but all the furniture was It was removed, not even the bed and dining table, but the hard-to-remove fireplace and stone stove.

“Come out when you’ve seen enough,” Bellerius shouted. “It’s dinner time, and we’re very hungry!”

Every moment he spent in this room made Ciel feel so hungry that even he couldn’t stand the torture, as if he hadn’t eaten anything for months.

Now, he just wants to quickly take out all the food on his body and swallow it all, even if it only relieves a little hunger, the stomach is no longer a stomach, it is a bottomless pit.

Gotta eat, gotta eat…

Ordinary hungry demons are so annoying, Ciel looked around, and the whole room exuded a strong demonic aura.

Devil in the basement?

Under the blanket?

In a deer head?

Everywhere is suspicious, but there is no clue.

Ciel could only step back and leave the house.

The farther from the middle of the room, the less hungry he felt. When he frowned and retreated more than ten meters outside the house, the feeling of urging people to forage gradually dissipated, and he returned to a state of half hunger and half fullness.

“Rude and reckless, you even hit our people! This account must be settled!” Shi Feline strode up to Ciel. Although she was a woman, she was very fierce and had no fear of Ciel.

“Sorry,” Charles said.

“You should learn etiquette yourself,” Bellerius said.

“I try my best.”

They came to the courtyard in the middle of the village, where people set a table.

The maids of the Chervin family came and went, serving rudimentary food.

Because there is nothing to eat, they can only stew wild vegetables, animal water and some kind of potato together, basically a very large bowl of soup, and distinguish the color.

Even if there are no demons, it is impossible to eat this kind of food.

But everyone was very interested in this kind of thing, looking eagerly at the clear soup scooped out from the big basin, and some even muttered: “This is a good meal.”

“Let’s be thankful,” Robbo said, standing up and leading the prayer.

His figure is not burly, like a withered tree. There was a time when the branches were lush, but he was tired.

“Ooh!”

“pray!”

“Thank God Edwar for letting us get through another day safely,” Rob took the lead. “Thank God for allowing us to live to see the food we have today. This is the darkest age, and countless people died tragically in the displacement. This is why We are more grateful. God is willing to protect us in such a dangerous situation. It is God who keeps us safe. The only thing we can do is to sincerely thank and maintain a grateful heart. Great Edward, may your temple of beauty be forever Bright, solid, high above the clouds.”

“May the Hall of Beauty Gate live forever.” People looked up to the sky, made gestures of devotion and prayed silently.

Darkness suffered such a heavy slash, it should have spit out the gods of the Temple of Beauty.

Charles looked up at the sky.

What are the gods busy doing now?

Should they be repairing their polluted palaces, or scrubbing their digestive juices?

With the blessing of the gods, there should be many people in Loman who can survive.

He picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. The taste was really bitter. The three sips were all water. Only when he bottomed out could he see a little residue-like solid matter, which was similar to drinking pure water.

Two soldiers brought five ordinary people in ragged clothes. When they saw something to eat, their eyes were as eager as wild dogs, and they couldn’t help talking excitedly.

“Who are they?” Charles looked out.

“The result of the conscription.” Robo said, “They will get food and then do their part. We are inheriting the ancient law, the nobles provide protection, and the common people provide obligations.”

“Oh.” Ciel nodded. “They don’t seem to know what they’re up against.”

“…” Robbo glanced at Ciel, and when he looked at Ciel, his eyes drifted unconsciously for a while, “What are you referring to?”

“nothing.”

After eating, everyone got up one after another and dispersed and went back to work.

Charles stopped Rob.

“Sir,” he said.

“What?” Rob asked.

“I have to go.”

“Walk?”

“This place is not suitable for long stays.”

“But… we have the information you want.”

“I don’t need it anymore, I should be able to find Alicia by my own strength.”

“Why…” Rob murmured, “We’ve been expecting you to stay and help us, but you…”

“It doesn’t make any sense, you live well here, it’s a good settlement, and more people will come to defect to you in the future. It’s the same with or without me,” Ciel said.

“What do you mean?” Shi Feline was about to leave after eating, but after hearing their conversation, she turned around and sat down again, “Are you teasing us? Are you leaving again after an appointment?”

“See you when I get a chance,” said Charles. “I need to find my lover first, rather than solving the mystery here.”

“…” Rob sighed, “you and I… what a great opportunity we both missed.”

“If you co-author, you can eat and eat, right!” Shi Feline cursed violently, “I despise people like you the most!”

Charles gave Dubois a look. Dubois was holding a bowl and begging the maid to scoop some more. When he turned around and noticed Charles’ eyes, he had to follow him in a dejected manner.

Shiferin’s abuse was left behind by Shire, and they left Shore and went into the depths of the forest.

After getting away from people, the woods became quieter.

“Without the Chervin Society, how did you find Miss Alicia?” Dubois was puzzled.

“Just kidding them,” Ciel kicked the bark and tied his boots. “Stay here until midnight and then slip back to the village, there must be a show.”

Chapter 373

Charles sat on a rock, while Dubois lay dead on the grass.

“The floor is dirty,” said Charles.

“This saves energy.”

“How the past few years have been.”

“In the beginning, some people sold children, and then they exchanged and cooked. Our people die slowly, especially tormented, and other places die quickly, but it is a blink of an eye. The monster swoops, painless, and liberated.”

“What about your family?”

“Dad was attacked on the way back. He fled back but died at the door. Mom also disappeared the next day. I hid a knife on my body, and my neighbors didn’t dare to touch me.”

“It doesn’t feel good.”

“It’s good to live.”

“It shouldn’t be like this.”

“It’s fighting, recruiting, collecting rent, monsters whose names cannot be named… It’s always like this, and if you can’t change, you will suffer.” Dubois said.

“Then you can bear it.”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to meet you alive.”

“If you want to change, how do you want to change?”

“I don’t know, wait for someone who is capable to come. I believe that His Majesty the great Leopold will come back from the south and lead his troops to save us!”

“…Leopold still don’t count. Wait, how did you know those monsters couldn’t be named?”

“Brothers who broke shirts told me.”

“Another new term.”

“It’s not a new term. I heard that it was a branch of your church.”

“…How come the sanctuary is divided.”

“Who knows, they cut their cloaks in half to show their identity.”

“What’s the name of the brother who broke the shirt? What’s his name? I guess I know him.”

“Luo Dan of Durham.”

“What is he like?”

“I thought it was serious, but after talking, I found out that he can laugh.”

“He’s grown up.”

The night was getting dark, and Shire did not light a fire. When the cold was thick and the birds were silent, he got up and walked towards the village of Shore. There was no light in the village, it was pitch black, and no one could be seen. Shadows, but with guards, high in the sky was a gray moon that was not very clear, and a silver moon hidden behind it, only to illuminate the earth on a suitable night.

“The gray moonlit night is suitable for you to sneak in.” Dubois looked around.

“You’re just watching?”

“I’m slow, it’s not a drag.”

“Practice.” Charles patted Dubois’s hair, “Be smart.”

“I don’t have much confidence.” Dubois lowered his voice, “Am I following you? I’ll try my best.”

“Come on, it’s a science to tiptoe,” said Charles.

First train, then grow, and finally master.

Everything must be so.

Charles thought to himself.

Who said that Dubois can’t be a good hunter? In this dark age of coma and collapse, he can still maintain a calm mind, and it is the talent who can absorb and develop.

Ciel picked a direction with fewer guards and slowly walked towards the depths of the village.

It had rained, the soil was wet, just enough to swallow the sound of footsteps, the moonlight cast a shadow on the side of the house, obscuring their movement, the dogs must have been eaten up, the candles were not lit for economical purposes, and everything was suitable for sneaking.

Charles walked calmly, and Dubois followed suit, gradually approaching the No Man’s House.

Before they reached the room, they saw Lady Chervin and the knight, Sylphine Chervin and Bellerius of Mount Van, and they both turned back in the direction of the uninhabited hut and walked towards the mansion in the middle.
