Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 387

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 387]

Petra walked forward, entered the house, stood in the dark room, and confronted the trapped demon.

“How does it feel?” Roy asked, standing outside the door, monitoring her every move.

“I feel… scared.” Petra suddenly began to tremble.

“It’s normal to be afraid.”

“It’s moving! It’s talking to me!” Petra raised her voice.

Roy pays attention to the demon’s body, strange things, it should be motionless, it must be fear that penetrates into the soul and forms hallucinations.

“What did it say to you? Get out of there and come here! Petra!”

“I can’t move! I…I can’t think! There’s noise…I’m so scared!” Petra screamed.

“Say it! It’s too early for you!” Roy rushed in, grabbed Petra with both hands, and dragged her out.

The recruits were apprehensive when they saw Petra’s panic.

She walked to the side, vomited on the ground, and vomited all the little breakfast.

“evil!”

“Why is she like this!”

“That ‘black entity’ must be very scary!”

“So just take a look outside the door.” Roy said, “I’ll deal with it when I’m done.”

One by one, the young recruits took turns observing the black entity, each taking notes on it, and making fun of each other.

The trapped demon is exhausted, and the soul is burned to the last trace by the hunter who captured it before. Even if no one is killed, it will die out due to wear and tear.

Roy frowned and looked at Petra worriedly. She squatted on the ground with her head buried in her knees, completely dominated by fear.

“Hey!” he shouted, “I’m about to execute the black entity, come and see! Petra!”

She remained silent, and Roy wondered whether she would leave a serious psychological shadow, which would be too tricky.

He will be punished, this is a training accident, and all involved will be dealt with in accordance with the commandments.

This time it wasn’t just Petra, Roy also started to panic. He was very worried. He walked into the hut with his sword and stabbed the trapped demon to kill it.

It opened its eyes wide and made a hoarse and gloomy cry, the fire in its pupils quickly dimmed, and the whole demon body turned into a dark empty shell.

“Ooh!”

“Killed!” The other recruits were cheered up and their courage multiplied.

“Are you okay?” Roy walked quickly towards Petra, “Get up, we’re leaving, the others in front are still searching for the location of the wizard, we have to support them and take over the village we occupied.”

Petra didn’t say a word, her mind was entangled with heavy confusion and shadows, and she couldn’t form a complete thought.

Demon phantoms appeared and disappeared in her heart, intertwined constantly, making her restless and fearful.

“Wait a minute, look quickly!”

“What is that?” The recruit pointed.

Roy got up and shivered when he saw a hunter riding in the forest.

“Master Grani.” He stepped forward to greet him.

Charles greeted Roy.

“I heard that Elijah tried to use the captured black entity to train recruits,” Ciel said. “Although it’s deactivated and the risk factor has been reduced, I still don’t think it’s safe. Something went wrong. ?”

“Chuck…hey…” Roy turned his head, “Huh?”

He noticed that Petra had stood up at some point and stared at Ciel with fascinated eyes.

“No, it’s nothing.” Roy said quickly, “Everyone is stronger, and found that the black entity is not an invincible monster.”

“What about the work ahead? The local village of Limbenburg, do you have any comments on our striker?” Ciel looked to the other side of the wetlands.

“The villagers heard that we came to fight the Dragon School, and they all took out food and money to welcome us,” said Roy.

“It would be great if we could get to Limbiang all the way safely,” said Shire. “I believe that the people of Limbiang will rise up against the tyranny of the Wizard King.”

“Yeah, the wizards hate the wandering here… The wandering black entities don’t care, we need to hunt them down one by one.”

“Wizards are also afraid to study them and drive themselves crazy.” Ciel said, “If you have trouble, I will ride to the front to see the working conditions of other people. Record the information collected and record the personnel information. , make sure to standardize our work.”

“Walk slowly.” Roy greeted Ciel.

He turned his head and found that Petra’s eyes had been on Ciel all the time, and he didn’t look away until he rode away.

“Petra? Wake up.” Roy shook her.

“I’ve always been sober,” Petra said. “He’s handsomer than the legends, he’s… charming.”

“I think you need treatment.” Roy said, “…I’m going to send you to the rear.”

“That’s more difficult for me than killing me,” Petra said. “I’m going to be closer to him, captain, I’m going to finish training early today.”

Without waiting for Roy to answer, she ran away alone, jumping for joy.

Looking back on that day later, Petra found that she couldn’t remember anything but Ciel’s striking appearance.

Chapter 474 Dragon School

The Sorcerer King is our heartbreaker.

Charles rode through the woods on horseback.

I have to drive it out of Limbien, or when I go to reclaim the west, the wizards will attack Citania.

To defeat your adversaries, you must know them.

The basic ability of human rationality and divinity is to speed up thinking. Ciel fell into contemplation and began to analyze the characteristics of wizards.

Wizards live in the Great Swamp. It is located on the coast of the North Sea, east of Loman. It is a wide-scale, water-rich area. The terrain is low-lying. Many rivers flow into the huge wetlands. The interior is muddy and difficult to navigate. Be careful and you will die.

Over the years, the corpses of humans and animals accumulate in the bottom of the swamp, and countless funeral flowers grow on the corpses. The color is pale and looks gloomy, so it is also called the corpse-throwing swamp and the silver swamp.

The swamp is so dangerous that people are afraid to avoid it. Only wizards dare to live in the swamp, and they claim to be the descendants of their ancestors.

In such a harsh environment, friends, employment relationships and feudal contracts are nothing, killing and throwing corpses is easy, conspiracy and betrayal are commonplace, no one dares to trust another person, and shamelessness has become the key virtue of survival.

Thus, there are only two valuable social relations left.

One is master and apprentice. Generally speaking, they don’t care about their apprentice’s gender, age, and race, or whether they are their own or a visitor. They only care about their learning talent, that is, whether they can be identified on the huge ancestral witch tree. There are enough shaman characters.

If a person has good aptitude, he will be recruited by a wizard and become an apprentice. He will continue to learn from his predecessors, accumulate experience, and increase his skills. In this way, a close master-apprentice relationship will be established. Excellent wizards will have a large group of disciples to help him collect materials. , set up controls, and conduct complex experiments.

When a large group of wizards gather together and recruit a wide range of apprentices, they will form a wizarding meeting place to exchange ideas with each other.

Several assembly houses maintained the same philosophy and decided to take care of each other, forming a huge school of wizards.

The other is blood relationship. The natural kinship of blood is thicker than water can ensure the trust between wizards. The wizard family strives to intermarry to ensure the purity of blood. The relationship between brothers and sisters, parents and children is close, and they are willing to breed offspring for each other. Excellent resources are shared among their own relatives and siblings, making the family stronger and stronger.

Therefore, the large-scale wizard family is also powerful and famous in the swamp.

Even people who have no talent and can’t decipher the shaman script can survive with their kin, but they will be regarded as scumbags, difficult to gain status in the swamp, and usually leave the big swamp.

How can such a society progress?

Charles couldn’t help thinking.

He also has a memory fragment of the sword master Ci. In Ci’s homeland, the world called Yolandar, the climate is arid, the distance between settlements is far away, people have lived in high-pressure rule for a long time, and the warriors with high skills can obtain fiefs , forming an unbreakable aristocratic class, peasants are divided, use road guides everywhere, otherwise they will be killed, and a large number of people at the bottom are divided into villages, unable to communicate and connect to resist.

Therefore, the history of the Yolandal kingdoms shows a very obvious cyclical law. Only dynasties and their kings are replaced. Every three or five hundred years, a ruling dynasty will experience a process of rise, prosperity, and decline. Each dynasty has its own culture, legends and a series of outstanding characters, and some people have carried out a series of so-called innovations, but they are only to get rid of the shortcomings of the previous dynasty and replace it with a new dynasty.

The entire social formation has not fundamentally changed in two thousand years, and will not change in the future.

Charles felt that this was a very suffocating thing.

It wasn’t until the widespread adoption of Stargate technology that things changed.

Ci’s hometown, Nagisa Gate, was set up as a transit point for cross-border voyages by several other civilizations. Several conservative kings united their armies and tried to resist, but were bloodbathed, and then a large number of advanced commodities were poured into Yolandar through Stargate technology. In the world, technological products that have been leading for thousands of years have poured into the local area, factories have sprung up on Yolandal, and the exploration of minerals has made it a famous raw material source.

Among the locals in Yolandal, a group of rich people and businessmen who made profits by serving foreign assets also quickly emerged. They imitated the structure of foreign races, built factories, and allowed Yolandal farmers to leave their hometowns and enter the city, and enter them in batches. , the production of commodities for profit, the whole world has undergone tremendous changes in twenty years.

Yolandar’s social system will also undoubtedly undergo changes, factory owners, citizens and armies equipped with advanced weapons will seize power, ending the millennium cycle of chaos and opening a new era.

It was just the setting of the stargate that attracted the attention of the demons, who came overnight and devoured Yolandar and several other worlds.

This is an example of social evolution, and the wizarding society is very different, they can never change their social form, and they are more closed and closed than the ordinary world.

They don’t need “social progress”.

Society is composed of large groups of mortals who maintain a stable relationship for a long time for their common interests, cooperate for a living, and have a clear division of labor. Peasants, craftsmen, rulers, and priests perform their duties.

Wizards do not need to innovate the society at all. They will naturally form a relatively stable relationship internally, with mentors and apprentices as partners, husbands and wives and relatives merging, and living in a conventional way. Although this form is primitive, it is enough. Support their research and exploration.

They have no incentive to form a higher division of labor.

Charles thought to himself.

Even if the king of wizards merged all schools, he still does not know how to organize all wizards to carry out precise division of labor and improve research efficiency. Wizards are still the same as their most primitive forms. The social group is very small, with himself and a few people around him as a collective , do everything just to meet their own needs.

Therefore, wizards are very easy to differentiate.

After a little analysis, it can be concluded that they are comparable to the gods in ability and skill, and they are like extremely loose primitives in society.

It is absolutely impossible for these wizards to support the King of Wizards monolithically, and there must be some people inside who seek rebellion and confrontation.

Thinking of this, Ciel couldn’t help thinking about the future of Citania.

If technological facilities are introduced to lead changes, the entire social form will also undergo great changes.

But we don’t have that need.

During the Chengping period, manual labor could store a full warehouse of grain, and hand-stitching could ensure that everyone was clothed.

People will not want to develop agricultural machinery to plow thousands of acres, nor will they develop technical equipment to weave day and night.

After all, the market is limited.

Our citizens eat at most three meals a day, and wear at most one piece of clothing. Even if they get a mountain of wheat and tons of cloth, who will they trade them for?

Unless we can cross the ocean and discover that there are other lands beyond the sea, there are millions of primitive people on it, they are drenched in blood, lack of food and clothing, and there is a huge gap in business. Only in this way can we generate enough demand to encourage us to pursue profits and open up business opportunities. The way of innovation.

All in all, even if we don’t need the constraints of the dragon gods, we lack the motivation to make changes within ourselves, and we can only turn around in the end.

In this regard, it is only half a step ahead of the swamp wizard.

Although everyone has no intention to spontaneously innovate, I seem to be able to enlighten them, break down the key points, protect the development of technology, and promote the social development of Hitania.

Think about it, if wizards come into contact with an advanced technological society, I am afraid they will also be fascinated by sound, light and shadow and convenient entertainment, which is more interesting than sitting in a damp Ash House doing weird research.

Who would say no to boxes of sparkling syrup?

“What are you thinking?” Zhen asked angrily.

“Elija asked me what to do after hunting down demons, and that was probably to lead the citizens of Citania to prosperity, perhaps to build a real temple of beauty on earth,” Ciel said.

“I don’t feel safe.”

“What’s not safe?”

“This land,” said Zhen Fury, “a powerful source of magic whose presence worries me deeply.”

“That’s the King of Wizards,” said Charles.

“I don’t think he’s going to stand still in front of you.”

“There are not many people who surrendered in front of me, and most of them will fight with me to the end.”

“It’s going to be an uphill battle.”

“If he doesn’t want to return to his hometown, I can only give him a ride.”

Ciel rode to the glade, where many people were waiting for him, many of them old faces.

“Lord Grani!” said Earl Chris. He was much older, wearing a black burqa and iron armor, and his expression was gloomy. “Once again, the hunters and the army cooperated again.”

“I’d love to see old faces.” Charles shook his hand.

“We have to restore the Forest’s Edge. I can’t get the money together this time, but if you help me, I’ll be allegiance to Queen Drest and join Citania,” Chris said.

“Okay. Have you spoken to the Dragon School? Are they really reluctant to retreat?” Ciel said.

“They sent a puppet to deliver the letter,” Chris said, “to the effect that, although the name Charles Grani carries a lot of weight, if you hear what they have in their hands, you’ll be on your knees and surrender and retreat. Self-defense.”

“I’d like to know what they have that deserves my sting. I can’t let them continue to kill civilians in Limbiang,” Shire said.
