Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 321

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 321]

The knight took off his helmet, and Ciel saw a young man with red cheeks and light brown curly hair, with a broad nose, a big nose, deep eye sockets, protruding browbones, and lowered eyes, looking very dusty.

“I am Ryder of Blackpine,” said the knight, “of House Valspaine.”

“That place…is located at the junction of Ashtree Hall and Forestside Castle.” Ciel thought for a while.

“Yes, we are border nobles, and the pressure from wizards and rogues is increasing day by day. The common people chop wood in the forest during the day and become robbers at night, or simply become robbers during the day. It’s a mess. Do you know how to get to Bizhan Manor? We must Get the Red Knife Ranger for help,” Ryder said.

“I’ll take you to Bizan Manor,” Ciel said. “You can find help there.”

“It’s similar to what the villagers said, please lead the way, sir.” Ryder pointed his spear into the distance.

“I still have family time to spend.” Ciel looked at Verana who was carrying the duck.

Ryder looked at the two knives behind Ciel, the tall fury beside him, and then looked at the ducks.

“Maybe I’m being a little presumptuous,” Ryder said, “but I have people who can help your daughter.”

“That’s great,” Charles thanked him.

“Hands up,” Ryder nodded, waving to the soldiers and riders behind him, “Let’s take all these green-necked mallards with us, it’s dinner if we don’t.”

“Ooh!”

“no problem!”

Everyone did what they said, running to the ducks running around the lake, they panicked.

Ryder looked at Verana’s agile skills with some emotion.

“Your daughter runs really fast,” he said. “She has strong legs, like she’s been blessed by God, and she’s very lovely. You’re very lucky.”

“I feel amazing too,” Shire said. “Maybe she’ll grow into something amazing.”

“You’ve got to watch her,” Ryder said. “The robbers in Ashtree Hall will eat her alive.”

“Hunger and poverty breed violence.”

“And you can’t farm without order,” Ryder said. “Maybe the Red Knife Ranger can overwhelm the world with his power.”

Ciel nodded, the other party seemed to be a good nobleman, and his words and deeds were reasonable.

Verana came back with a wild duck in one hand. They were strangled by their throats and couldn’t even quack. Her hands and feet were dirty, but her face was very happy.

Ciel helped her tie the ducks to the sides of Zhan’s body. They had no strength to struggle and could only obey fate.

Ciel rolled over and rode in anger, and the soldiers under Ryder also came back with ducks one after another, and the group regrouped and returned to Bizhan Manor.

“What’s the situation in Blackpine Hold?” asked the Shire. “I heard that the Forest Edge area has been occupied by wizards.”

“Difficulty,” Ryder concluded, “after the famine broke out, we put down the gates of the castle and kept the gates for ourselves, and the surrounding villages were rotten, killing each other, selling their sons and daughters, eating human flesh, and so on. They ran away. Those who ran to Sanwei Bay were still safe, those who ran into the forest edge fort were captured by the wizards, and their life and death were unknown. There were also those who went to the empire, and there was no news at all. Crazy, full of rogue bosses, rogue knights and gangsters, they’re better off than us, and we’re still dreaming about heroes.”

“Why don’t you go to Sanwei Bay? There are fish there, and the Albertans. Have you heard about Count Garnier? And his sister?” Charles asked.

“The Alberta family can’t keep themselves safe. There’s a squire in Sanwei Bay called Jeffrey, you know, he’s holding up Garnier and Gina who have gone to him,” Ryder said. .

“Detained?” Ciel still clearly remembers Jeffrey, a local figure similar to the head and the village chief who rebelled against the priests under Ciel’s instigation.

At the beginning, I also advised him to raise more militiamen and weapons, and now it happens to help him gain a foothold in Sano Bay.

“Yes, the Ash Tree Hall was occupied by the ‘monster’, and the Alberta family fled for their lives before the city was destroyed. I don’t know what happened. Maybe Jeffrey rebelled, but since he is the boss now, he has soldiers and fish. Then he has the final say,” Ryder said.

“You don’t want to ask Jeffrey for help,” Charles said.

“No, what are you talking about,” said Ryder, “I’ve seen the remains of Ashtree Hall, and if my dear Jeffrey can smash the whole city without a trace with one punch, I can Bow down to him, but since the Red Blade Ranger is here, why don’t I go find something more fierce?”

“What if Red Knife Ranger was a villain,” Ciel asked. “Maybe he’s the leader of a violent criminal gang, like the Hundred Sons.”

“That only means that the gods don’t bless Loman,” Ryder said, “and I can only follow the will of the gods and give my life to a villain.”

“You are very religious.”

“My whole family attended the spring, summer, autumn and winter festivals,” Ryder said. “Unfortunately my father was unlucky.”

“What’s up with him?”

Ryder glanced to the east, a little gloomy.

“Some people have to drive away those wizards from the swamp,” he said.

“I guess they caused a lot of trouble.”

“You know what a wizard can do, curse, destroy castles and armies, pollute well water, make human eggs ten times bigger than before, let cattle and sheep die mysteriously, let babies die in their mother’s belly, Even sneaking in stealthily to kill, eventually killing my father to terrorize us, and I scrambled to the throne while sitting in the castle waiting to die.”

“Sorry to hear that.”

“I miss the old days, when we still had kings, earls, and the Rivi family to support us. I also think of the decree in 476. If the decree is really implemented, and all the wizards are smashed out of Loman, it will not matter. Much better,” Ryder said.

“It’s because the Lomans and the swamp wizards attacked each other that the situation was so bad.”

“That’s wishful thinking,” sighed Ryder. “My father used to say that ambition grows with strength. How could wizards with such powerful spells be content to live in a wet and disgusting swamp. If They want to dominate Loman, the only thing we have to do is to resist, and we can only resist. In this matter, we can’t back down. This is why I especially want to ask the Red Blade Ranger for help, maybe he can turn the wizards If I drive them all away, I can also comfort my father’s soul and free myself from panic.”

“Wizard…” Charles mused.

The relationship between us and wizards has always been a problem, the two cultures are in competition, attacking each other for living space.

Moreover, the Great Swamp itself is a chaotic faction, split into different groups, and the wizards of each school attack each other and beggar-thy-neighbor.

“I met an impostor,” Ryder said. “On the way here, I met a mercenary who claimed to be a ‘Red Blade Ranger’. He looked like a blood-red sword. Seeing that he has no bearing, he didn’t even stop.”

“tolerance?”

“Have a bearing like yours,” said Ryder. “I was impressed at first sight, carrying two long knives and riding a top horse, which is so damn good.”

Angry was praised for speeding up, leaving them behind, the ducks on either side of it quacked in panic, and Ryder and his party had to hurry to catch up.

It was already afternoon when they finally arrived at Bizhan Manor.

Ciel got off the horse and untied the ducks that were dizzy all the way. They fell down after walking a few steps on the ground. Verana laughed when she saw it.

“My lord, who are they?” asked Rogran, the gatekeeper.

“Ryder of Blackpine,” said Charles. “How is Rocher?”

“It’s fine, I can walk,” said Rogran.

“Rocher?” Ryder was startled. “Who? Rocher Drister of Gloomberg?”

“Yes,” said Charles, “if it’s a replacement.”

“God bless, I thought she was dead.” Ryder walked quickly towards the manor.

The rider dismounted, the soldiers followed, and they entered.

Before long, Charles saw Rocher, wearing a long cloak, sitting by the fountain in a trance, looking up at the sound of her footsteps and frowning at the sight of Ryder.

“…the eldest son of the Vals Paines? Why are you here?” she asked.

“I want to ask you more, Countess.” Ryder greeted Rocher. “It’s an honor to meet you.”

“How has Baron Valspaine been lately?”

“All I can say is that he’s standing right in front of you.” Ryder sighed, “My father has passed away.”

“Who did it?”

“A group of wizards, let’s talk slowly, are you injured?” Ryder asked.

“Yeah.” Rocher got up slowly.

“Countess Dreister is here, I have nothing to be afraid of.” Ryder was in a happy mood.

“There is nothing to be afraid of when Ciel is here.” Roche glanced at Ciel.

“Wait…” Ryder turned to Shire and looked at it carefully, “I…I have lost my respect?…Oh…Granee?…Bizhan Manor…black cloak and knife…how could I not think of it? ”

His face changed suddenly, half respectful and half nervous.

“Have you never seen Ciel’s face?” Rocher limped while walking. People consciously matched her pace and dared not walk too fast.

“My father led the troops to participate in the frontier war.” Ryder looked at Ciel in awe, “…So it turns out that the master hunter cannot be killed? God bless…”

“It’s really hard to accept coming back from the afterlife,” Ciel said calmly. “Let’s go, let’s discuss the future.”

Chapter 399 New Order

They came to a living room where it was convenient to discuss things, Rocher leaning weakly at the table, Ryder and one of his old clerks standing aside.

Soon, Celine and Alicia also walked in.

“Where do you start?” Ryder scratched his hair, “We’re here to seek help from Lord Grani, we’d be dead without you.”

“I’d love to help,” Charles said, “but what can you give me?”

“Loyalty,” said Ryder, “impeccable loyalty, my lord, we have decided to join your rule.”

“Charle is not an aristocrat,” Xilin said.

“What is a nobility,” Ryder smiled bitterly, “did my nobility save my father’s life? Strength is eternal, and I remember that Lord Grani was a legitimate knight conferred by the Earl of Alberta. Um… take the liberty to ask, you are?”

“Ciline.” She responded coldly.

“Sirin Nevins?” Ryder showed a respectful expression, “I heard that Lord Nevins in Ash Tree Hall is a man with eyes and hands.”

“In that case, he won’t disappear,” Xi Lin narrowed her eyes. “Enough, stop talking about ‘us’.”

“I’m sorry.” Ryder consciously remained silent.

Rocher glanced at the secretary beside Ryder, and the old man probably understood what Rocher wanted.

Tremblingly, he took out several bundles of parchment paper from his long sleeves, untied the red rope, and unfolded them on the table. Some were blank, while one was a map, and the territory of the Ash Tree Hall was marked in particular.

“We need to sort out the current situation,” Rocher said.

“Let me see.” Ryder looked at the whole map, “It’s wonderful, I can’t read, what do you think of this map?”

“This is Ash Tree Hall,” the clerk pointed out in a low voice. “To the north of Ash Tree Hall is Sanwei Bay, to the east is Black Pine Castle and Arrow Rain Castle, and to the southeast is Cold Water Castle.”

Shire carefully observed the terrain, and Blackpine Castle, located at the junction of Ashtree Hall, Forestside Castle, and the Great Swamp, was the first to bear the brunt.

Forest Edge has been occupied by wizards, and if they take Blackpine Castle in Ryde again, they will be able to enter the Ashtree Hall area without hindrance.

Arrow Rain Fort is located in the east of Dusk Forest, in a remote and hidden location.

Cold Water Castle is located at the border between Loman Kingdom and Shannei Empire. You can reach Shannei Empire after passing through the castle and then over the cliffs.

“This is Durham Village, this is Chora Fort,” the clerk stroked his hand down, pointing to the periphery of Dusk Forest. Baron Chora’s fief was the Great Forest itself, and the castle was also covered by many forests.

“…How’s old Baron Joras? Louie of Duskwood,” Rocher asked. “…A rare decent person in the Four Realms, like your father.”

“‘Like my father’ isn’t a good word in this day and age. Let’s just say he and his son Bernard led the way to respond to Puckett in Redwood Hill to help him fend off a demonic invasion, and then his butler, Chastain Yes, he slaughtered old Louis’ grandson in his swaddling clothes, and his beautiful daughter-in-law also raped. When Old Louis heard the news, he wanted to give priority to helping Puckett to save the siege. Bernard was angry and brought a small army back. After cleaning up family conflicts, and then being shot to death by a few arrows under Chorasburg, old Louis couldn’t care less, he plunged into Redwood Mountain, and never came back. That’s what I heard.” Ryder said.

“…” Rocher frowned deeply.

“To the west is the border area between us and Rain Bay Hall,” the clerk continued describing the map. “This is the gloomy castle of Dame Drist.”

“Ruined,” Rocher said.

“Then this is the territory of Qinglu Forest and Priest Ropalus, and further west is Lanior.” The secretary’s finger returned to the outskirts of Ash Tree Hall, “To the west of Ash Tree Hall is the hunting ground of the Alberta family. , to the south is Bizhan Manor, and then there are more than a dozen villages we are familiar with… Belor, Shore, Seg, O’Mallon…”
