Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 355
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 355]
Along the way, the servants, soldiers and guards saw Ciel appearing, walking as usual, and they were surprised and delighted. Some people felt their gratitude and paid tribute to Ciel.
Charles held his head high.
He saw thunder and clouds in the sky, the winter thunder was rolling, and people could not help but point their fingers when they heard the thunder.
Intimidation is pointless to me.
The thunderstorm flashed and flickered, and finally failed to descend, but faded away.
In the end the clouds cleared up.
Charles heard the sound of hooves and turned to see Dorothy approaching the manor on a white horse.
“Are you better?” Dorothy shouted from a distance.
“come over.”
Dorothy was helpless, turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the courtyard.
“Aren’t you the one who made me so embarrassed?” said Charles.
“You shouldn’t have contact with them. It’s taboo. Snakes are taboo for most pantheons. Filthy snakes will incite people to sin, always.” Dorothy said.
“‘They’ are the benefactors who sent me back to the world and recreated my body. What about you? Why do you stop me from contacting them? Besides, you don’t even know what I said to them.”
“We really don’t know, but snakes aren’t any better than demons,” Dorothy said. “…I’m sorry for all the hurt, we still have room to maneuver, right?”
“What is that rain?”
“I’m sorry… the position of some gods… always look down on humans, hate snakes more, it’s too much… can we talk? I will do my best to make up for your loss, we will give you what you want .”
“Come in,” said Charles, “but I’m not talking to you alone.”
“Who else?”
“You’ll know then,” Charles said.
Chapter 438 Rebuilding the Country
In the living room, Ciel sat on a chair, caressing the table with one hand and supporting his chin with the other hand.
Can I take God’s place?
Charles thought about it seriously.
I haven’t listened to anyone else’s orders, and I’ve always been a loner, because for a long time the gods were not in their rightful place.
They were supposed to instruct me, perform miracles, or confer punishment, but there were few such signals.
Now the gods have returned, and a new class has arisen above me, and they can not only restrain me, but also force me.
Why should I not be afraid of them?
They don’t want to tear my face with me now, but what about in the future?
If I disobeyed, they would threaten me and those around me with floods, earthquakes, and plagues, and it was easy for them.
So, I have to be careful and more careful about what they propose.
I can’t give in, if I take a step back, they will go further in all directions, and by then, there will be no chance to even resist.
Dorothy sat on the side, staring intently at Ciel.
“What?” Charles asked.
“Want to know what you’re thinking,” Dorothy said.
“Think about why you came to us.”
“To solicit you.” Dorothy said frankly, “I can marry you, and we will go to the Hall of Beauty’s Gate together, and you will stand in the splendid hall of eternity, admired by thousands of generations of Loman people.”
“Can I remain independent?”
“Why? Joining the Hall of Beauty Gate, being enthroned by mortals, and being worshipped by sacrifices, isn’t that noble enough?”
“What’s the difference between me and other gods, and other mortals who have also entered the Hall of Beauty because of their merits?”
“Um……”
“There’s no difference, right?” Ciel said. “Isn’t this a repetition of history? What’s the point of having a new god in the Palace of Beauty? Do you really lack me so much?”
“Of course, you can fight the devil,” Dorothy said.
“I didn’t hunt demons to join the Beauty Gate Hall.”
“Joining the Palace of Beauty Gate will not affect your slaying of demons.”
“Do you have to respect Edwar’s will in words and deeds?”
“……Yes.”
“Does all actions represent the facade of the Palace of Beauty Gate, and therefore cannot do as they please?”
“……Yes.”
“Do you want to contribute to the prosperity of the Loman god system and contribute to the prosperity of the Meimen Temple?”
“…Yes, but so what? We will work together, under the rule of God the Father, to build an undefeated glorious kingdom of God, which is good for everyone. You and I can even breed good children with divinity, Be alone.”
“You can’t force me to dedicate to something that I don’t care about even if you say it 10,000 times. I’m fighting for myself and the safety of my family, not for the beauty of the gate. I can be your ally, but I must never fight for the safety of my family. Not a vassal, no one can make me a vassal.”
“You have to,” Dorothy said.
“Because of Edvard.”
“Yes.” Dorothy admitted, “My father is usually called the god Edwar, but this is only an appearance. In fact, my father’s godhead is composed of pure ‘king’, who is the kingdom of heaven and earth. The king of the kingdom, he will never allow the existence of ‘non-subjects’, so, Shire, you must join the beautiful gate hall, from ‘non-subjects’ to ‘subjects’, so that my father will not be angry with you! King! The relationship with the ministers must be respected, especially since you are still in contact with the Snakeborn family that specializes in betrayal, why should we not worry?”
“You can’t predict Edwar’s behavior, can you.”
“Hey, my father is a god of divinity. We can’t observe his actions and actions. His existence is already beyond God.”
“That is to say, for the will of a super-powerful god, I must join the Meimen Temple with sincerity and fear, kneel in front of Edwal, and fight for the cause of the Meimen Temple for the rest of my life, is that so?”
“Don’t say it like this, everyone is fighting against demons, everyone is protecting the people of Loman, why can’t we bow down to our ‘right’ king? My father Edwar… He is not worth your visit. Do you bow down?”
“I haven’t bent my knees to anyone since I was born, and now you’re forcing me to give up my principles?”
Dorothy looked solemn.
“Charle, the end of the confrontation… may be destruction.”
“You can come if you want to fight.” Ciel said, “I’m not afraid of hell, let alone one of the gods.”
This remark made Dorothy also lowered her eyebrows, she sighed and bowed her head.
“I don’t know what to do either,” Dorothy said. “Why are you so determined, the Snakeborn have given you some nihilistic support. Never trust them.”
“Do I look like the kind of person who needs the support of others to make up my mind? Look at your beautiful gate hall. Inside is a supreme god who no one knows what he’s thinking. His divinity is boundless rule. , don’t you feel afraid yourself?”
“It is undeniable that God the Father has never done anything wrong until now. He even married my mother and gave birth to me with God’s will, which shows that God the Father can make good judgments.”
“I only know that I can’t give my destiny to a force that I can’t control.” Ciel said, “In this regard, I will go from one to the other. Unless my power is strong enough to overwhelm the Hall of Beauty and dominate the hall. Gods, otherwise I would never have joined it, much less let it control it.”
“The power is so strong that it dominates the Hall of Beauty. I used to think you were proud, but now I think you’re arrogant,” Dorothy frowned, “What are you thinking? You can never have more power than the Hall of Beauty. Absolutely no Possibly! Don’t think too much of yourself, self-knowledge is also necessary. Even if you do it to the end, you are at most a regular god, and it is impossible to surpass gods without many years of parenting. ”
Having said this, Ciel is more calm.
“That day will come,” he said.
“To remind you, if God the Father judges that your existence threatens the very foundation of the Temple of Beauty, He will destroy you without hesitation, and you will be powerless to stop it,” Dorothy said.
“That’s why we’re here.” Charles looked around.
“Who will come?” Dorothy wondered.
“I’m sorry.” Rocher pushed in the door and greeted Ciel and Dorothy, “I’m Rocher of Gloom Castle.”
“I’m Dorothy.”
Rocher was in a hurry to come back, and he didn’t take off his gloves, so he was a little uneasy.
“Sit down.” Charles got up and invited Rocher to take a seat.
“I’m so ignorant, I’ve never seen such a majestic lady.” Rocher sat down.
“It’s okay, I live abroad all the year round, and I rarely return to the country. To be honest, if the country did not change like this, I should have been promoted to the god in the temple and deserved to enjoy the temple.” Dorothy was led by Roche and began to speak proverbs.
“Fortunately, I was able to meet the goddess.” Rocher got up and bowed again to Dorothy.
“It’s not worth the ceremony.” Dorothy humbly.
“Your Excellency Charles has recovered?” Rocher asked with concern as he sat down again.
“Yeah.” Charles agreed.
“Your Excellency Ciel is now the backbone of Loman, and he should put his body first.” Rocher nodded.
“The local demons have been defeated. Before going to other places in Loman to hunt demons, the order of Upper Loman has to be re-determined first, so the two of them were called.” Ciel said, “I thought about it for a long time, and now I use the method of a meeting. It’s settled, we’re going to rebuild a country.”
“Rebuild Loman.” Rocher looked serious.
“Instead of inheriting the kingdom of Loman and starting a new dynasty, it is to create a new country,” Shire said. “This country needs a powerful ruler.”
“Charle, I will crown you, anoint you with the anointing of the Temple of Beauty, and the gods will see you succeed,” said Dorothy.
“Not for me,” said Charles, “for Rocher.”
“Huh?” Rocher frowned, “Your Excellency Charles!”
“Only you have so much passion, dedication and impartiality to run a country, and I’m too busy to have that time,” Shire said.
Rocher stood up and greeted Charles.
“Rocher of Gloomy Castle, I will never fail your trust, Your Excellency Charles.” She said earnestly.
“…Interesting.” Dorothy pursed her lips.
“You will rule the entire Upper Loman region,” said Shire. “Redistribute the land. The old nobles have no power to oppose your rule. In this case, what are your plans?”
“I will divide the nobility and make it as fragmented as possible,” said Rocher, “and the opportunity is once in a lifetime to break past oaths and concentrate on domestic lands.
“The nobles will be outraged,” said Charles.
“Since it is divided, I will never admit the rights and interests of all nobles who leave Upper Loman, and I will confiscate their land and reward loyalists and troops, but I will not make them rich, and I will never retrain a group of powerful nobles. The territorial division entangles their territories, plunges them into infighting with each other for legality, and forces their estates to be divided equally among their descendants, in order to promote favor and make each generation poorer and weaker.”
“…It’s better than I expected,” Ciel couldn’t help saying.
“Why—why?” Dorothy asked.
“I must not allow the lower-level nobles to abuse their power and affect my rule. In the past, the Luoman country was weak because of the backwardness of the fief system, the poverty and hardship of the serfs in the park, and the laziness and arrogance of nobles at all levels, which caused many problems. It can promote the advancement of the country. There can only be one king and one lord in our country.” Rocher said.
“How to manage without nobles?” Dorothy was puzzled.
“It is to promote the establishment of schools, cultivate talents, appoint officials, and build a civil government.” Rocher said.
“It’s the system of the Yamauchi Empire,” Dorothy said.
“Neighboring countries have advanced systems, so why not follow suit,” Rocher said.
“This requires the accumulation of several generations, how can it be possible to reach the sky in one step.”
