Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 45

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 45]

She turned her hands over and over, puzzled.

“Because I like you,” Ciel said, “so you can do what you want to be, be who you want to be, instead of being sold into this kind of place and doing things you don’t want to do.”

“Aren’t you forcing me to be shy…” Alicia covered her face, “…hehe…how come you said something strange.”

“But give me the information, and I can take you away.” Ciel’s expression turned cold, looking at the clients coming and going in the courtyard, “Alicia, we have to cooperate.”

“Um!”

“What do you know about this eccentric, Caluson of the West Coast?”

“He’s a terrible person.” Alicia was a little disturbed. “Everyone calls him the ‘Fox’ Lord Caluson. He seems to know everything. He has many people to help him work and collect information everywhere. Who is doing it today? What, who ate at a certain tavern, who formed a mercenary, who owed Rene-sama how much money, things like that… He collected it everywhere, and then traded this information to others, I see To the point where some powerful people often come and go here, and spend a lot of money to buy information from him.”

People who make a living by trading intelligence, intelligence dealers?

Charles thought.

What does such a person want me to do?

If he really controls a large group of spies, collecting all kinds of information day and night, the brothel in front of him is indeed not enough to accommodate this guy’s ambitions.

Maybe the brothel was part of his intelligence network, and those women didn’t look good.

Thinking of this, rather than being an enemy of him, you should really find a way to benefit him.

Although the other party threatened Alicia and firmly pinched Ciel’s weakness, Ciel had to bow his head for a while.

“Okay, no problem.” Ciel stroked Alicia’s body, pinching the soft parts of her body.

“Mmmm…” Alicia kissed Ciel’s neck fascinatedly, with a clumsy movement.

Ciel and she searched each other for sensitive positions on each other and kept trying.

Alicia lifted one of her legs and wrapped it around Ciel’s waist.

“Do you like it?” she said softly. “I see when other women do it, men can’t stand it.”

“I really can’t stand it. But you’re too skinny.” Charles gasped, kissing her lips, their tongues touching each other.

“Someone is watching.” Alicia turned her eyes away, and someone in the courtyard pointed at the two people who were forgetful upstairs.

“Let them be jealous.”

It took a long time for them to separate, and Ciel’s forehead was close to hers, it was hot, warm, and it felt beautiful.

The more fascinated he became with her, the more he wanted to rush her out of this filthy place and back into the sanctuary.

“Your sanctuary isn’t so clean either,” Gladius shouted.

Ah, devil, what an appetite.

Ciel’s eyes dimmed, yes, I’m a hunter who deals with demons all the time. The sanctuary is not safe and holy, and she will be frightened there. Once the devil’s power threatens the safety of the sanctuary, she may even die.

“What’s wrong with you?” Alicia asked, “You look worried.”

“I’m not sure about the future.” Ciel can also see the temple spire in the distance from here. There are traces of demons in the temple. Not to mention the suspicious dog, the woman who looked at him from a high place let him Alarmed, she seemed to have spotted Gladius’ presence.

Demons seem to be pervasive, infiltrating every corner of the world, how can a mere hunter eradicate them?

“I know you’re doing something dangerous.” Alicia helped Ciel tidy up the messed up collar of the intimacy just now, “Come on! Do it well.”

“I will definitely, I will definitely take you away.” Ciel said firmly, “No matter what that person wants me to do, I will do it and take you away.”

“I’m so important to you?” Alicia was confused.

“You don’t understand.” The warmth of her lips remained on Ciel’s face.

“Of course I don’t understand, I’m an idiot.” Alicia clapped her hands.

Charles stroked her hair blankly.

“I vomited, can you do something serious?” Gladiu muttered.

“Did they treat you well? Did they give you food and clothing? Did they bully you?” Ciel was very concerned.

“Fortunately, everyone asked me where I got the gold coins. I said that you gave it. You are the Demon Hunter Char. They handed me over to Caluson. Caluson said you would definitely come for me. He also said that you would agree to the conditions he offered – the results were within his expectations.” Alicia said in confusion, “I’ll ask again – am I really that important to you?”

“Really,” Charles said.

“Thank you.”

He went back into the house, into Caluson’s room, the man still sitting behind the desk, his head buried in the letter, and after noticing Charles, he put the quill back in the inkwell, crossed his hands, and looked at him carefully .

“You really like her,” said Caluson.

“It has nothing to do with you.” Charles responded coldly.

“I just envy you guys, young and energetic. When you get to my age, there will be more and more things pulling you forward.”

“Are you an intelligence businessman?”

“In a sense.”

“What’s your relationship with the Thieves Guild?”

Caluson was silent for a while.

“I don’t want to be associated with them, they’re doing shit in the city.”

“I want to destroy these people.” Ciel murmured, “And the temple, I need information on the local temple.”

“You talked about the two groups of people I hate the most, priests and thieves. The priests play tricks and thieves cause disputes. I like reasonable people. I believe that there is a connection between everything in the world, a rational connection. So I have both I don’t like mysterious things, and I don’t like creating chaos. Ah, demon hunters, maybe after we finish our operation tomorrow, we can become good partners.” Caruson praised.

No one wants to be your partner to threaten me with Alicia’s safety.

Charles groaned inwardly.

But on the surface, Ciel still nodded:

“I hope so.”

Chapter 58 The Great Flock of Beasts

Ciel said goodbye to Alicia, she stood at the door, holding her hands, staring at him because she was reluctant to leave.

“Seeing you next time won’t be too long.” Charles instructed her, “If anyone bullies you, he will be finished.”

“I know.” Alicia curled her lips, “No one dares to bully me.”

“How is your house? Did they send anyone to see you?”

“I asked someone to take 10 silver coins back. They were very happy. They tidied up my room and gave me sausages.”

“If they don’t care about you, you don’t have to deal with them.”

“Huh?” Alicia was surprised, “I am their daughter.”

“That doesn’t mean anything.” Ciel shook his head, “Do you think I’ve ever gone home? If your family only causes you pain, you must stay away from them resolutely.”

“Oh.” Alicia was noncommittal, thinking about what Ciel said, “Let me think about it, I’m sleepy.”

“Good night.” Charles watched her turn back to the back room of the brothel.

This is the Ash Tree Hall in the winter night. Ciel returned to the street and turned back in the direction of the Hunter’s Sanctuary. He decided to buy a few more sets of new clothes. He couldn’t go out in the same outfit every day, because it would be easy to be noticed.

The interior of the Ash Tree Hall is intricate and complicated, and the forces of all parties seem to have a little friction. If you do not act cautiously, you will suffer sooner or later.

There are animal calls.

It is easy for Shire to think of dogs. After all, there were hordes of vicious dogs before, and it seemed that dogs from all over the world had come to Ash Tree Hall.

But if you listen carefully, nuances are evident, and it sounds like some bigger, more murderous monster.

He couldn’t see clearly in the dark, so Ciel could only bite the bullet and hurry on the road. The roars of the unknown monsters became more and more harsh, and the lights were on in every household. Ciel guessed that they were staying awake in the midst of anxiety, surrounded by such terrifying sounds. , no one dared to sleep peacefully.

Footsteps, Ciel heard the sound of running quickly.

Ciel followed the movement and turned the street, and saw a staggering beggar running in front of him. He was ragged and unkempt, and behind him, something with four legs was chasing him.

“Help!” he screamed as soon as he saw Ciel.

“Come here!” Ciel’s expression changed, he quickly drew out his blade, and hurried away.

With a roar, the monster behind the beggar threw him down, bit his neck in an instant, and then raised his head to stare at Ciel, the corpse under him bled and died instantly.

This is an out-and-out black beast, tall and majestic, with a mane all over his face. It is more like a lion than a dog.

It grinned at Charles, amber eyes gleaming fiercely, desperate for blood.

Can you beat it?

Ciel held the gray knife, and his heart beat faster.

The animal turned around and fled, and Ciel had to chase after him, actually killing people in front of him. If this kind of monster is not eliminated now, it will be later.

The streets of Ash Tree Hall were chaotic, and he chased the nimble monster while struggling to discern the path.

In addition to the horizontal and vertical main roads, there are many alleys of different widths in the Ash Tree Hall.

Poor city planning, filthy pig slaughter shops adjoining ready-to-wear stores, ugly beggars’ shacks not far from City Hall, and a tangle of neighborhoods that Shire nearly lost several times.

He followed the monster into an alley, and the road became narrower and narrower. The figure of the black monster gradually merged with the night, and finally disappeared.

gone?

Just disappeared right in front of his eyes?

Visibility was very low, and Ciel stroked the walls on both sides, barely able to distinguish the front and rear directions.

He kept walking in this alley, and the exit seemed very close, but in fact, Ciel felt that he had not walked out for five minutes.

The road is getting narrower and narrower, and has gotten to the point where it can touch the walls on both sides at the same time.

Is it so narrow for people to walk?

He found that no matter how he walked, he could not get out of the alley under his feet.

This can no longer be explained by common sense. Ciel turned back and found that he had walked more than a thousand meters away. The entrance to the alley seemed so far away from him, and the buildings on both sides were stretched infinitely, showing a strange arc, which was already disproportionate.

“What’s going on?” Ciel asked in his heart, “You didn’t remind me.”

“What’s the matter?” Gladiu recovered from his distress.

“You’re not distracted, right?” Charles wondered.

“I’m digesting, I’m too full in hell.”

“Then what are we doing now?” Ciel looked around. The sky was dark, and he couldn’t see his fingers. The exit of the alley was tightened until it disappeared, and the other end was far away. This was obviously not a normal situation.

“Oh.” Gladiu made a strange voice, “It seems to be quite powerful.”

“What’s great?”

“The understanding of space, there is a very powerful spell that controls this place, and the understanding is quite thorough.”

Ciel stroked the surrounding walls, leaving charred ink marks on his fingers, and the stone wall collapsed with a twist, like gravel.

He pushed hard, and his hand almost reached into the wall. He didn’t know what was inside, so he quickly pulled his hand back.

“We’re stuck.” Charles looked around. The exit of the alley looked particularly distant and dangerous.

“This is a space-extending sorcery. The caster magnifies and distorts an area. In reality, we should linger in place, at least not so far.”

“Witchcraft…you mean your demonic abilities.”

“It is indeed the power of demons, but the source is unknown. There are several upper-level demon gods in hell who are good at changing reality. That is not something I am good at, so I can’t help you.”

“You are the supreme cutter, you should cut the flaws from here.”

“I have to think of a way, I’ll recall, you can protect yourself first. I’m in your soul now, and it’s hard to see the things around you, tsk, tsk.”

“Self-defense…”

Ciel saw a slender shadow gradually appearing at the entrance of the alley.

A woman with a blurred face stood there, looking at Ciel.

“Who are you?” Charles asked loudly.

“If I were you, I would give up resistance.” Her voice sounded very cold, it was strange that Ciel couldn’t see the details of her body no matter what.

“You don’t know me.” Ciel took the gray knife out of his arms and held it tightly in his hand.

“I’ll get to know the shape of your bones very soon, the color of your eyeballs, you’ll be crying and shivering and incontinent.”

“……madman.”
