Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 30

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 30]

“You want to leave like this?” Rene gritted his teeth, “Impossible! Guard! Guard!”

As the clanging of weapons and armor approached, Ciel saw well-armed and determined guards pouring out from all over the castle. Could the castle hold so many soldiers?

All of them are fierce, with cold eyes and well-equipped weapons. Even if Ciel uses all his strength, at most a few people will be taken down.

“You can’t even kill a few people.” Gladiu dismissed, “The tower is full of snipers, ready to shoot you at any time.”

Ciel looked up at the heights. On the towers of the castle guard wall, sergeants with crossbows were ready to shoot. This courtyard was a natural shooting range, and Ciel would be shot into a hedgehog at any time.

You can’t escape with a flowing shadow, that would be too embarrassing, and the demon corpse would be left in the castle, and I don’t know how many troubles would breed.

“Wait.” Gina quickly ran to the scooter and looked up at the balcony, “Dad!”

“Oh, my sweetheart.” Rene’s icy expression melted and she smiled kindly. “You’re here too.”

“Don’t worry,” Gina exclaimed. “Don’t lose your temper!”

“I won’t lose my temper.” Rene was in a good mood, pressing his hands on the railing, almost breaking it. “Don’t tell me, I’m in a great mood today, my little darling.”

“We’re clamoring to see what’s in the car,” Gina explained. “It’s none of Mr. Shire’s business.”

“I see.” Rene nodded. “Now I understand everything. Don’t be nervous.”

Ciel looked up and saw Rene. Rene’s eyes changed very quickly. When he looked at Gina, he was gentle like water, and when he looked at Ciel, he felt fluffy, as if he wanted to tear Ciel to pieces.

“I’m sorry for all the disturbances.” Charles beckoned the Rocher soldiers to drive over. “I’m sorry for all your troubles, too. But anyway, we have to go back to the Hunter’s Sanctuary.”

“Yes.” Rene’s eyes burst into flames. “I want you to hurry back to your beautiful sanctuary, the sooner the better. ‘The sooner the better’. Understand?”

“Good.” Charles shrugged.

The soldiers hurriedly mobilized their horses, and the cart carried the demon’s heavy corpse slowly out.

Ciel let out a long sigh. After so many twists and turns, he was finally able to return to the Hunter’s Sanctuary.

He lowered his head and pondered what to do after he went back, and suddenly bursts of screams, rants, and nervous shouts rang out, among which Rene’s heart-wrenching howls were particularly harsh. He turned his head and found that Gina had not known when The back of the car climbed up.

“Let’s go,” she urged. “I want to see the Demon Hunter’s Sanctuary.”

Chapter 38 The Church

“Last time I was knocked out in this tavern.” The soldier drove in front, and at the same time commented on the streets of Ash Tree Hall one after another.

“Get out of the way, get out of the way, I’ll kill you!” They drove away the stumbled beggars from under the horse’s hooves.

“Why did you suddenly climb up.” Ciel looked back at Gina, “Be careful not to get too close to the devil.”

Gina lifted a corner of the linen to frighten Charles, and she laughed when she saw the nervous look on his face.

“Why are you so scared.” Gina said, there was a small gem on her red dress, passers-by saw such a gorgeous girl on the broken trolley, next to a demon wreck covered with a thick white cloth , have stopped to pay attention, pointing.

“Because demons have always been very terrifying.” Ciel was terrified. “They like to eat our souls the most. They come to this world to plunder and use us as food. And their ability is to affect our minds and make us become Crazy and irrational.”

“The gods will bless us.” Gina laughed again, “If you don’t worship the gods, of course you will be scared by the devil.”

“If the gods can really bless everything.” Charles thought for a while, “Why do disasters keep happening in the world?”

“You don’t understand.” Gina explained seriously, “God has been blessing us all the time. If God didn’t take care of us, those disasters would have a greater impact. Why didn’t the tsunami wash up and swept away the entire Ash Tree Hall? Because God is watching over everyone.”

Xia Er pondered, could it be that he has repeatedly adventured, but survived the crisis because of God’s protection of him in the dark?

“You may be right, but I have to find a chance to verify it.” Ciel prevaricates.

“Verify!” Gina was unhappy, “You can’t test the gods, provoke gods, or test the power of gods with strange ideas. These are all disrespectful. If you have time, you should come to the shrine in the castle and worship. Worship, with the protection of the gods in the Temple of Beauty, the devil is no longer scary, because the devil is definitely not the opponent of the gods.”

Ciel asked Gladius in his heart, “Can you fight against God?”

“God is also divided into three, six and nine.” Gladiu replied vaguely, without making a clear statement.

It seems that God can indeed have a certain influence on demons, so I should find a kind and reliable god to worship and gain their support.

Charles pondered.

“You are brave,” said Charles, “to climb up.”

“Why don’t you dare to climb up? I can climb everywhere with a skirt on.”

“Your dad is going to be pissed off.” Ciel was amused when he thought of Rene’s appearance as he left.

“He’s not going to be mad at me,” Gina said. “People say I look too much like my mother.”

Ciel had heard the story of Lord Rene spending a lot of money to build a statue for his deceased wife. It was inconceivable that Rene would take out money from his own treasury.

Two horses jolted the scooter on the street.

Charles noticed that there were many people with mysterious whereabouts in the dark alleys on the street. They wore cloaks and deliberately covered their faces, so as not to let others see their faces, each of them silently paid attention to the whole car. .

They may be servants of mercenaries, spies, spies, and wizards, desperate to get information about demons.

Ciel felt that he should have been watched from the moment he entered the city.

They must also want to get the corpse of the demon. The demon transforms the soul into a “demon nature” that they can use. This kind of gray-black corrupted solid soul can play a key role in some people’s spells, in other words, many people. They all want to get their hands on the devil’s corpse, or steal information about the devil, so as to accomplish some of their ulterior motives.

This is a disadvantage in intelligence. There are many organizations and groups trying to fight Ciel’s ideas, but Ciel doesn’t know anything about them. As a young hunter recruit, it is really difficult to maintain the Hunter’s Sanctuary alone.

Draco said the Hunter’s Sanctuary was looted, what would those thieves take?

Who are their employers?

A series of questions gave him a headache.

“It’s been a long time since I left the castle.” Gina stretched her waist, her long sleeves slipped down on her smooth and white arms, revealing her beautiful arms, and Ciel’s eyes stayed on her slender skin.

“Even though I’ve known you for a while,” Gladiu sighed, “but we exchanged ideas and exchanged ideas, and I feel like we’ve been friends for many years! So I have to tell you, you can’t have a bad time with a fifteen-year-old child. Misunderstood idea.”

“I don’t.” Ciel explained to the demon, “No.”

“Your filthy subconscious has betrayed you.” Gladiu resented, “As a human being, you must have a bottom line!”

“Where did the devil come from is my bottom line.” Ciel was deeply dissatisfied.

In his heart, he was chatting with Gladius, but in reality he had to chat with Gina: “This is a beautiful city, and your father has managed it well.”

“Everyone said that my father was the worst of the dozen lords and the best of the dozen or so lords in the future. I don’t quite understand.”

“Uh…” Charles remembered the red-haired young man beside the Earl of Ashtree Hall, “There is always a young man beside your father, is that your brother?”

“The proud and sturdy one? Yes, he’s my brother.” Gina was very happy, “He’s a good man, whoever bullies me, he’ll hit someone on the head hard and beat him to the ground. Beg me for mercy.”

“It turns out that it is a harmonious and kind family.” Xia Er was helpless.

They turned the corner, and a dozen guards on horseback suddenly appeared, closely following behind them, their eyes fell on Gina, who was obviously the one sent by the count to protect Gina.

The appearance of these guards made Ciel feel a thorn in his back. As soon as he turned around, he could see these elite guards wearing heraldic cloaks, armed with spears and swords, and no one had a good face towards Ciel.

Fortunately, after these guards appeared, the figures who were spying on the streets and alleys also disappeared quickly, and they did not dare to stay on the streets. They could only hide in a more secret place to observe the whereabouts of Ciel, thinking that they did not want to attract the attention of the ruler.

“That’s Captain Reese.” Gina saw the leader of the guards.

“What is he like?”

“I’m very stubborn, I have a big belly and point around, and occasionally say something reasonable.”

Ciel looked back and glanced at the captain of the guard. Reese’s eyes were fierce, forcing Ciel to withdraw his gaze.

Not long after, the carriage pulled them and the demon corpse to the door of the Hunter’s Church. Ciel looked up at the Church and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Ashtree Hall Sanctuary is the core base of the Hunter Organization in the Upper Loman area. From here, the Master Hunter is responsible for managing all hunters in the four towns of Ashtree Hall, Rain Bay Hall, Fountain Hall, and Forestside Fort, guarding and exploring the demons in the nearby territories. Wreak havoc and control all possible demonic invasion disasters.

The sanctuary is a magnificent building of decent scale. The exterior walls are all made of neatly sized graystone bricks. The front is the main hall. There are twenty steps leading to the ground. Above the heavy bronze door is a stone statue carved with a Blind, jumping little devil, it was sealed by hunters with a petrification spell long ago, and it was embedded in the door as a decoration, and it is not known whether it is now dead or alive.

The dome of the sanctuary is built in the shape of a spire, rising straight into the sky, a lookout is located high, and huge glass windows are inlaid in the checkered stone frame below. Know how to make ore as transparent as running water.

On the right side of the main sanctuary is the side hall, which is used for daily access. The gate is very wide, allowing horses and vehicles to pass through. The interior is connected to the small garden, warehouse and training ground inside the sanctuary. On the left side of the sanctuary is a tall stone pagoda. There are six or seven floors or even higher, there is no external entrance, and it is impossible to enter from the street.

With excitement, Charles walked to the bronze door, took out the silver key from his backpack, slowly inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it, his heart pounding.

He pursed his lips tightly, opened the door lock, and then pushed the door hard, a mournful wind gushed out from it, and the entire church was weeping for his return. Eight demon hunters, all chasing the blade demon, Returning alone, together with the devil himself.

Charles felt heavy.

“Don’t say it so tragically.” Gladiu murmured, “We are the hope of opening a new era.”

Gina followed Ciel curiously and entered the sanctuary.

The interior of the hall is covered with a long red carpet, leading to a high altar at the end, flanked by benches.

The hall was obviously ransacked, several windows were broken, all the curtains were torn down, most of them were stolen, only a few were left in bad condition, and some of the chairs were smashed. Seven or eight bright golden candlesticks are now gone. What makes Charles most distressed is the frescoes of the great hunters. When the church was rich, he once asked the painter to paint the portraits of all the famous hunters and hang them at the end of the hall. It was on the wall for all the later hunters to pay their respects, but now it’s gone… Only an iron picture frame that the thieves can’t move is left alone on the wall, where the portrait of the original hunter was originally hung.

“Wow—this place—” Gina looked around. “It’s all ruined.”

“It’s not ruined,” whispered Ciel. “The wall is still there, the bedrock is still there, and I’m still here. It’s going to be as spectacular as ever.”

How much did the intruding thieves stole?

Some hunters live in the sanctuary, and they left a lot of personal belongings in the sanctuary. Could it be that all those precious things have been robbed by the thieves?

Thinking of this, Charles burst into anger.

The price must be paid for this group of thieves who desecrated the temple.

He walked from the hall to the small garden next to him. The garden was also trampled beyond recognition. The robbers stepped on the lawn, leaving unrecoverable heavy tread marks on the grass. Numerous mud footprints formed a line leading to the wall on the side of the garden. , that part of the wall is a bit broken and lower than the rest, presumably that’s where they came in.

Ciel entered the side hall, the boxes and cabinets were opened, and all valuables were gone. Ciel felt heartache just by looking at it. He opened the side hall door from the inside, and let the soldiers bring the carts in and pass through. In the entire wing, park the demon’s corpse in the garden.

He turned to Gina and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss Gina, look… it’s a mess here.”

“I sympathize.” Gina hugged her arm, “…I’ll let the guards check to see who robbed the church. It’s a beautiful place, and it shouldn’t be like this.”

“Thank you very much.” Charles greeted Gina.

People are leaving one by one.

Charles closed the door and returned to the garden.

“You actually want to rebuild this broken place from nothing.” Gladiu laughed loudly, “You are really a qualified coolie.”

Charles stroked a boulder by the flowerbed.

It’s interesting to start with nothing.

Chapter 39 Soul Precipitation

Ciel found that it was impossible to describe how difficult it was to build a sanctuary, it was simply difficult to ascend to the sky.

There are a total of 63 gold coins in hand, many of which were sent by Rocher.

With the money, he thought that he could find a few masons to repair and build the broken wall so that thieves would not climb over it. As a result, the people of the craftsmen’s guild shook their heads faster than anyone else when they heard that they were working for the Hunter’s Sanctuary.

“Don’t scare me,” the worker complained to Ciel, “isn’t your great sanctuary a beautiful devil’s den. Whoever dares to repair it there will have a long life.”

“I’m the Demon Hunter,” Ciel said firmly, hoping to convince them, “I can keep you safe.”

“Hughti.” The worker refused. “If you give us three or four times the money, we won’t do anything, and we will lose our lives. What’s the use of taking the money? Everyone sees the devil flying out of the church. It’s scary.”

so what should I do now?

If no one strengthens the walls of the church, sooner or later other thieves will come in.

The wall was bare and completely undefended. In the past, there were hunters staying behind, but now Ciel is going to go out at a certain time. If the wall is still so loose, he can’t rest assured.

He has seen those wealthy people fill the top of their fences with spikes that prick their hands when they see it, and they can’t climb at all to guard their property.

If a row of patterned copper thorns were also added to the walls of the sanctuary, the thieves would have to go to great lengths to get in.

“If the wall can’t be repaired,” Charles sighed, “thieves will come.”

“Why don’t you give some protection money to the thieves’ union?” the worker asked.

“They’ve already stolen the church.” Ciel probably heard that thieves in various cities would spontaneously join forces to take care of each other’s business. “They stole all the valuable things from the church. I’m on guard for their next visit.”

“It’s too miserable.” The worker shrugged, “I think there should be a lot of valuables in it, but it’s gone now?”

“It’s all gone.” Ciel was very helpless. “The treasures, collections, and decorations that have been passed down from generation to generation by more than ten generations of hunters have all been stolen.”

Every time I think about this part, Shire’s heart hurts very much.

“Oh, that’s true…” The worker hesitated. “If you can ensure the safety of the sanctuary, we will still consider…consider helping you.”

“Thank you.” Charles greeted the workers, “You also reminded me that thieves have a union.”

“What do you want to do?” The worker was a little surprised, “Don’t mess with them.”
