Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 48

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 48]

Looking at the old man’s eager gaze, Ciel added, “I’ll give you 15 silver coins a month.”

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and sat contentedly in his seat.

“What about our money?” Du Wen asked. “How much can we get?”

“You haven’t officially joined the church, and you will be given allowances only after you join the church.” Ciel can only fool them temporarily. The truth is that the demon hunters don’t have a stable income, and the church is only used for everyone to sleep.

As long as Ciel finds a way to get the money, he will reform everything.

He believes that demon hunters should have a certain basic income so that they can support their families, and that the sanctuary should be able to protect hunters, train hunters, and provide intelligence and financial support, and everything should be regulated.

The sanctuary can be used as a base camp. There are obviously so many empty rooms here, but the hunters have been traveling in the form of masters and apprentices, looking for opportunities throughout the Loman countryside. They will only return to the sanctuary during festivals and celebrations. The sanctuary usually Only the master lives alone, more like a private residence.

Living alone in such a magnificent sanctuary is leisurely, but it is also a waste.

Like the masters of all dynasties, Charles could live alone in the sanctuary, accepting the respect of others, and wandering and enjoying in such a large hall, but he would rather make a change, let others settle in, and make good use of the spaciousness of this sanctuary. Space, to add new people to the organization, gradually build and expand here, looking for more people to support his cause.

“Then how can we officially join?” Madden asked. “I heard that we need to hunt down a demon once.”

“There is a best chance now.” Ciel laid the gray knife flat on the table.

“It’s a really good knife.” Du Wen couldn’t help but admire.

“Tonight, I found traces of a huge demon outside.” As soon as Ciel said that, people’s faces changed drastically. Ines was very curious, Madden was eager to try, Du Wen frowned, Buddy’s body Shrink into the chair.

“If you’re interested in becoming a demon hunter,” Ciel said slowly, “just get out of here with me and destroy it.”

They’re scared, they’re panicking, it’s human nature.

Charles watched them.

And I’m going to turn them from cowardly mortals into tough hunters.

Chapter 61 Locking the Target

“You really found the demon? How did you determine the demon’s location? Through what, a spell? Or some other treasure?” Ines asked with interest.

“I have a way.” Ciel pondered for a moment. He had an idea that needed to be confirmed. In the sanctuary, he knew that there was a way to easily locate the target demon.

He crossed the side yard, from the garden into the hall of the sanctuary, there was no light shining, the benches and the high altar were silent in the dark, the high walls were devoid of any decoration, and the gray moonlight filtered through the glass, leaving a hazy dim glow. , pillars much wider than the charr supported the broken dome, and the slate of the floor was sturdy.

He was lost in it for a moment. Architecture is fascinating. Tiny mortals can build wonders that have survived for hundreds of thousands of years.

Charles put his hand to his mouth and shouted, “Hope!”

The sound echoed in the sanctuary, and he knew that the kid heard it, and it climbed down from the wall and climbed to Ciel’s feet in confusion, put his hands together, and bowed honestly to Ciel.

“Lord!”

“Come with me, come on my shoulder.” Ciel stretched out his hand, and the hell kid obediently climbed up from his arm, this guy’s body is very ice.

Charles came to the side tower of the sanctuary, hurriedly climbed all the way to the highest level, panting heavily, and stood on the viewing platform at the top.

“Can you see it? Can you see the soul of the demon beast? A huge demon soul.” Ciel put his hands on the railing, leaned out a little, and tried to find the traces of demons from the city in the night.

The roads illuminated by street lamps are shrouded in warm orange light, and more places are immersed in a permeating darkness. The light spots are faintly leaking from the windows of various households. Spread a spot of light on a large sheet of dark paper.

The moon is not obvious. There are two moons in the sky. The silver moon is hidden behind the gray moon. There is only one day in each month. The silver moon will move in front of the gray moon, forming a dazzling white night. Illuminating the earth with a faint light.

The gray moon night, the gray moon night, the night when the devil haunts.

Hunters like me should stand up and protect everyone to sleep.

“Only if they pay you,” Gladiu whispered.

“Security is maintained by everyone. I destroy the demons that they are powerless to fight for them, while they maintain the order of ordinary society, and I can live better in the entire society that is generally stable…”

“They have to see you as one of their own before they can help you. You’re making a false statement and you’re not in the same position as them at all.”

“I and they are both ordinary people, just to be wary of evil for them.”

“Ordinary people? Look at you, you have powerful powers, surpassing the abilities of mortals, but now you consider yourself an ordinary person? You are above their lives, and you are qualified to enslave the weak, not protect them.”

“I do what I want to do.”

“One day you’ll be overwhelmed by mortals you don’t want to hurt, you know?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to hurt them, it’s just that the time has not come… If they really do too much…” Ciel reluctantly responded.

“I won.” Gladiu was satisfied. “As long as you are still willing to swing a knife at ordinary people, I will win.”

what about me?

Did I lose?

Charles thought for a moment.

“Woooo scum, oooo scum.” Hope grabbed Ciel’s collar, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the distance.

Demons have a different vision than humans, they can see the soul clearly.

“Where?” Ciel looked in the direction of Hope’s fingers, squinting his eyes hard.

“Gah, gah.” Hope danced and tried to express his meaning, “There!”

Ciel struggled to discern what Hope had found from the murky, dark building.

He frowned, a sense of unease flooded his heart, and Hope pointed to the earl’s mansion.

In the most central part of the city, where the terrain is higher, the lord’s residence built with high walls, watchtowers and main towers has always been the most solid place. It is much higher than the surrounding houses and looks extremely conspicuous.

But without Draco, it was as vulnerable as anywhere else.

“Are you sure? It’s going to attack there?”

“Full of mortal souls… full of mortal souls! The beasts are approaching.” Hope shouted over Shire’s shoulders. “Let me eat too.”

“I can’t take you there, you stay here, hide, but don’t leave.” Ciel instructed, the existence of the devil imp still needs to be kept secret, and most people may find it difficult to accept its existence, “If someone approaches, you Just run away and don’t be seen. You can’t hurt or scare other people either.”

“Huh.” The devil kid jumped off Ciel’s shoulders, scratched his face, and crawled elsewhere in frustration.

“The devil is always the best.” Gladiu said slowly, “Loyal, obedient, stupid, we need their numbers, not their wisdom, the only thing they need is the master’s will.”

Hell kids are so dominated by the strong?

Isn’t that too tragic, after they become stronger, they will only continue to bully their companions and cannot change all this.

Charles fell into thought.

“You idiot, they don’t need to change, that’s their fate.”

“You can’t decide their fate.” Ciel shook his head.

“Of course I can, I can decide who survives and who dies. Little devils will always be weak and scum, even if they grow up.” Gladiu immediately retorted.

“Hope will become stronger in the future.” Ciel mused, “Day and night, it always has a chance to absorb the souls around it. In a peaceful way.”

“How do you control it then?” Gladiu asked disdainfully, “The little devil will become a big ghost, and the big ghost will become a demon warrior, and then it will not be something you can kill at will, and in the end you must Kill it. As I said, you can’t find peace, peace corrupts the will to fight, peace is disgusting, and a mountain of corpses leads to progress.”

“I think.” Charles walked towards the wing of the sanctuary, “I think I can make it learn.”

“You want to change a demon?” Gladiu laughed.

“It will understand. The kid has thoughts and memories, so why can’t he learn? If it can realize the way to live with the world…”

“Take care of yourself first.” Gladiu sneered, “Look at you, childish and vulnerable.”

Ciel is accustomed to the devil saying nonsense words in his heart, this bastard has low taste.

He returned to the side hall on the side of the sanctuary, with a walkway in the center, tables and chairs on both sides, and the brazier was empty, so it was cold.

But then they were going to leave the room and go to the colder city.

Seeing everyone’s eyes, Charles took a deep breath.

“We’re going to get ready to go,” he said. “Our goal is the demonic beast that’s ravaging the city tonight, trying to kill people. It’s very powerful, it has the shape of a vicious dog, and it has many minions like it. You As a hunter recruit, first of all, you must make sure that you give your best, you must not slack off, bring everything you can, and prepare all weapons.”

“If it’s bad, what do we do?” Madden asked.

“It’s up to me to kill it!” Ciel patted his chest with a firm expression, “Your mission is to see the appearance of demons and get used to fighting them, so that you can become a real demon hunter!”

“It’s terrifying.” Du Wen murmured, “I thought there was training or something, so let’s play right away.”

“This is the Demon Hunter,” Ciel nodded, and I didn’t want to face the Demon God of Blades in the first action. “But trust me, as long as you don’t run away and fight resolutely, we will definitely be able to defeat that monster.”

Looking at their eyes, Ciel knew that they were guessing the appearance of the demon and fantasized about fighting the demon.

If there is a real fight, the situation will be very difficult for them. The giant dog covered in hair with several pairs of scarlet eyes… The destructive power is amazing and the appearance is terrifying, which will undoubtedly cause a strong mental shock. If people’s minds are destroyed, It will become something like the devil, and become their new reinforcement.

This must not be allowed to happen, the demons must be stopped before they can cause great chaos.

“Let’s go.” Ines was ready, she adjusted her crossbow and put her hand on the sword.

Although the other two recruits were inevitably hesitant, they had to grit their teeth and insist on facing the crisis.

In the face of unknown fear, maintain a good attitude, face life head-on, and use all your means, abilities and beliefs to solve it. This is the way to become stronger.

Charles firmly believes in this.

Killing a demon is to reduce a threat, no matter whether it can be reborn in hell, whether they are immortal or not, no matter whether they have a particularly powerful power, as long as they dare to come to the world, it will provoke me.

“Oh, it looks like it.” Gladiu said strangely, “I don’t know who is behind your back every day, and how many times saves you in danger.”

“If it wasn’t for me, you would have been deported long ago.”

Charles looked back at their equipment, and his eyes swept over everyone. Madden looked like a fisherman, holding a sword and carrying a few pointed harpoons for throwing; Duvin was suspicious, he held Sword, took out a torch in one hand, and illuminated the road for everyone, and at the same time felt alert to the eyes of Ciel; Ines was a female adventurer, with a sword and a crossbow, similar to Ciel.

A total of four people, can such a team be able to defeat the demon beast?

With the gray knife in his hand, Ciel knew that he could cut through its demonic shell and hurt the soul inside, but these other people, they couldn’t survive under the attack of that huge beast.

Worst of all, if that woman still has a second pack of dogs, aren’t we finished?

I can’t deal with so many dogs again, and if the charred ring is abused, it is likely to cause a fire in the city.

And she also has some kind of spell that can manipulate space changes, like witchcraft, or something taught by demons, if she displays it…

These numerous thoughts floated up and down in Ciel’s heart, and he pushed open the door and went out.

Immediately I heard the barking of dogs.

Chapter 62 The Majestic Beast

“What’s that sound?” Madden looked around, trying to discern the source of the sound from the ink-like darkness.

“Of course the dog is barking, what else could it be.” Duwen said in an idiot’s tone.

“Of course I fucking know, but how can a dog bark so fiercely? So scary?” Madden scolded.

“It’s just a dog anyway.” Ines disagreed.

Ciel recalled the dogs he had seen before. They were obviously related to demons. No matter their size, strength or speed, they were far superior to ordinary animals. Can the power of demons also be used to strengthen ordinary creatures?

Like a half-demon, Ciel pondered what he had seen and heard.

Demons first affect the souls of creatures, twisting them to form demonic deposits, these substances can be used to form corrupted things, swords, armor, horns… Affect the body of the creature in all aspects.

Those dogs with unusually large bodies should be animals that are undergoing demonization, but the effect is not significant, temporarily only showing the effect of muscle expansion, and their temperament has become more ferocious.

Maybe the demonic beast had been hiding in the temple before, constantly exerting influence on the animals.

If this demonization process continues, what effect will it have?

Ordinary dogs become more and more savage and are able to evolve like demons by devouring souls, eventually forming new demonic beasts.

One after another, flocks and flocks, these ferocious, fang-and-clawed monsters shred everything.

If this continues, human beings will become food, and cities will become their meat banks.

Ciel felt a deep sense of unease. He must find the source of the demonization and kill the giant dog with eight bloody eyes.

Every household was awakened by the barking sound, dim lights came out one after another from the street windows, and people were leaning against the windows. Xia Er could guess the residents’ worries. This was a sudden disaster. They can be heard whispering and guessing again and again in fear of what might happen.

They were supposed to get a good night’s sleep, but things were getting critical.

Someone invaded the sanctuary while the hunters were out of their nests and released the winged demon and the giant dog. Who the hell was such a degenerate person to actually serve the demon?

Charles was puzzled.

“Everyone,” Gladio said softly.

They saw several guards in the street, tending to a wounded man lying by the wall.

“Stop.” The guard held out his hand to them. “Who are you?”

“We are Demon Hunters,” Ciel explained. “Have you been attacked?”

“God damn it,” the guard frowned, “Come and see for yourself.”
