Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 59

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 59]

“I’m here to pick you up.” Ciel lay down beside her, and she took advantage of the opportunity to put her foot on Ciel’s waist.

“You’re done? What are you doing?” She got into Charles’ arms.

“I killed a demon that plagued Caluson and saved his daughter.”

“Everyone is afraid of demons. Only you can deal with demons by talking about them.”

“I also paid the price. I was constantly reflecting, and I was constantly fighting against the demons in my heart. But Carlusson’s daughter…she suffers from delusional disorder.”

“Losing disorder?”

“If the soul is damaged, that’s what happens. Normally I see you laughing, I’m happy, I’m excited! But if I’m demented, I’ll lose those emotions,” explains Ciel. .

“Even the Black Death can be cured, so it shouldn’t be difficult for delusional disorder.” Alicia said nonchalantly.

“You’re right.” Ciel nodded, “…Yes, everyone says that demonization is irreversible, that demon’s mental interference is an eternal curse, and delusional disorder is a terminal illness…I don’t believe it, we must have a solution. They solve the troubles that demons bring to this world.”

“I don’t understand, I want to sleep.” Alicia rolled over on the bed, “Forget it, you woke me up, I can’t sleep.”

She jumped out of bed, sat down at the dresser, and took out a small box.

“What’s this?” Charles looked at the box, which contained pale fine powder soaked in water or translucent lotion.

“The thing that makes the skin whiter, I don’t know what it is.” She dipped a small brush in it and brushed it on her face.

“If you don’t know what it is, you can use it.”

“Ah, the idiot cares about me.” She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, “Will you look good even if I don’t wear makeup?”

“certainly.”

“Then I won’t bother.” Alicia packed up her things, put them in a bag, and went to the closet to pick a light yellow dress to wear, wrap other clothes, and throw them away after a while.

Sitting on the bed, she shook her body and looked anxious, “Forget it, I don’t want it anymore. I’ll use your money to buy a new one in the future.”

“pretty good.”

“New clothes—new life! Am I free?” Alicia insisted in disbelief. “Am I free?”

“I think so,” said Charles, “Caluzon will hand over your personal contract, and then I will tear it up for you, and you will be a free man, no longer the property here, and you will not be forced to do anything. matter.”

“It’s like a dream.” She bit her mouth, “Why are you being so nice to me, I’m nothing, I’m vulgar and stupid, and I can’t accomplish anything.”

“I don’t care.” Charles shrugged. “For better or worse, we are all together.”

“Hey.” She sighed.

“The problem is we’re still young.” Charles shook her hand, “We still have time, three years, five years, ten years, ten years from now I’ll be twenty-seven, you’ll be twenty-six, and we’re still pretty good. young.”

“What if I still can’t do it in ten years?” Alicia said sadly. “What if I’m still an idiot in ten years?”

Ciel pressed his forehead against hers, looking at her eyes. She wanted to avoid Ciel’s gaze, but she had to turn her attention back to her eyes.

“Try it,” he said.

“Why try? I must be an idiot, everyone says so.”

“Why don’t you try?” Ciel whispered, “What if you weren’t? We can rely on each other no matter what, I’m no smarter than you, I’m often fooled by demons, troubled by people and things, but I’m also brave enough to move forward. Go, try to find the truth in it, try to fight. I’ve never been a person who talks a lot, but I’m also brave enough to start talking.”

Alicia was embarrassed, and she started crying at some point, wiping her tears with her arm.

She kissed Shire and their lips touched each other.

“I’ll go with you,” she said. “Since you said that, I’ll go with you. Let’s go quickly.”

Charles led Alicia out of the room, through the corridor, and came to Caluson’s office on the top floor. Behind the desk, he was constantly drafting letters as usual, constantly collecting and sending out various information, so as to To maintain his mysterious network, a fox.

Caluson opened the drawer, took out Alicia’s contract, and handed it to Ciel across the room.

He nodded to Alicia: “You can live in peace.”

Alicia hurriedly took the contract, glanced up and down, and handed it to Ciel.

Ciel’s eyes glanced roughly across the paper:

“God knows, in the summer of 467, I traded my own daughter Alicia Wiener to Caluson Nevins, giving up all rights to her for 15 gold coins.

Seller: Ellis Wiener

Purchaser: Caluson Nevins

Notary Public: Carl Pippen”

“You’re worth more than me.” Ciel thought that he was only worth 10 gold coins when he was sold to the Secret Witch Market.

“Big fool, let’s go.” Alicia didn’t want to stay here any longer, and hurriedly dragged Ciel to go out, “I’ll be yours in the future, do I want to live in that very big and dark sanctuary? I’ve seen it far before.”

“Maybe.”

As soon as she walked out of the room, Alicia kissed him happily and couldn’t contain her excitement.

“Freedom! I’m free!” She laughed cheerfully, tore the contract to shreds, and then kissed him hard.

Ciel felt a mysterious resonance, he could feel her happiness, and that feeling stimulated him, the smile became natural, happiness became a thing to be earned—a fleeting feeling.

In these dark and gloomy times, laughter is so precious.

“Kiss me again.” Ciel wanted to grasp the looming feeling, which was so wonderful.

“Don’t be in such a hurry, I can sleep with you at night.” Alicia shook his arm.

“Oh.”

That can wait until night.

Chapter 75

After saying goodbye to Caluson, Charles prepares to return to the sanctuary.

Xi Lin changed into a silk and satin dress, which was quite expensive. The silk sleeves were tattooed with auspicious patterns, and the colors were low-key and simple.

Followed by two mercenaries sent by Caluson, they are all silent people, they take money to do things, they are very professional, they never intervene in matters that have nothing to do with them, and if they don’t pay attention, it is even difficult to detect them. exist.

Charles admires such qualities.

“Hello, hello.” Alicia greeted Celine repeatedly, “How are you?”

She won’t take care of you.

Charles thought.

“I’m Alicia, Alicia of Ash Tree Hall.” She walked happily in front of Sirin, as if trying to get her attention.

Alicia ran to the candy booth on the street, handed out three copper plates from her sleeve, picked up a honey hard candy, and shook it in front of Celine.

“It’s for food,” she repeated cheerfully. “Do you like it?”

“Don’t do that.” Ciel felt that Alicia was a little too lively.

Contrary to Ciel’s expectations, Sirin actually moved.

She stretched out her fingers, grabbed the candy, and stopped for a while on the street.

“Is it sweet? I used to eat it very sweet.” Alicia said excitedly, “Do you like it?”

Celine peeled off the sugar linen, ate the candy, and nodded.

“It’s sweet,” she responded calmly.

Ciel noticed the difference, and she began to respond to external stimuli.

“Do you remember your name?” Charles asked.

Shirin ignored Ciel, just held Alicia’s hand and looked at her blankly.

“Hey, you look so strange.” Alicia shook Celine’s hand, “but it doesn’t matter, do you know what time it is? It’s noon, we’re going to eat.” She turned to Shire, ” Will the church give us food?”

“The sanctuary is mine. Of course we have something to eat there.” Charles nodded.

“You look more or less like a character.” Alicia looked him up and down.

They passed a small square where stood a statue of Gerald I “The Strong”, a figure from three centuries ago, who marched eastward to restore the Ash Tree Hall from the barbarians of Frostfalls, and King Lema Kicking feet, spears pointing to the sky, majestic and majestic.

The current king is different. Charles has heard that King Eduardo is a gloomy ruler. He has ruled for a long time, and everyone has come to their hearts. He has not shown many wise actions. The adults all supported him, and His Majesty was reclusive, constantly sending spies to maintain contact with various places.

“As soon as I heard it, I was bewitched by evil forces. Your king is the head of the devil.” Gladiu murmured.

“No.” Ciel retorted in his heart, “There are hunter groups on the west coast, there are court wizards, there are high judges, there are also the noble council, and the protector of the country. They can all check and balance the king. If there is a problem with the king, they will impeach them. he.”

“That must be my kind who has done such a good job that it confuses the whole court. Isn’t this very common? How many people can maintain their inner peace in the face of demon power?” Gladiu disagreed.

“If he is really a devil, how can our country run smoothly until now, and there have been many natural disasters.”

“Maybe it’s because there are always fools like you jumping up and down, tinkering, and doing some futile work.” Gladiu muttered, “But our strategy has always been a slow flow, take your time…”

They saw a group of clergymen walking through the small square. They were of high rank. The first one was a full-time priest, wearing a purple vestment, heavy jewelry, and holding a book of scriptures. By his side, two elite soldiers in purple clothes and armor were standing around him. Escort to make sure the priest is not attacked in any way.

Behind the priest were three chanting masters, who took turns reciting in high-pitched, singing tones, the chapters in the “Beautiful Gate Temple”, which described the words, deeds and legendary deeds of the Loman gods.

And behind these clerics, a team of temple guards is escorting “sinners”.

It was a man, stripped naked, emaciated from torture, with a sallow complexion, signs of edema on both calves, unkempt hair, long beard and hair, his hands bound by wooden shackles, and a temple guard led like a dog He was facing him, there was a hideous scar on his mouth, and his lips were split, which was very terrifying.

“You can’t watch this!” Alicia was terrified and covered Sirin’s eyes.

“…Who are they escorting?” Charles thought.

“Wizards,” said a mercenary who was protecting Sirin.

“How do you know?” Ciel turned to look at him, who had an exaggerated beard.

“We came here from the west coast, following Mr. Caluson,” the mercenary explained. “On the west coast, the priests would handfail captured dark wizards and split their mouths so that they could not cast spells. I want to come to Ashtree Hall. There’s no difference.”

“Capturing the wizard…” Charles stared at the man who was caught, “…”

“Think about it, think about yourself,” Gladiu whispered in a harsh voice.

It’s easy for Ciel to imagine how he would behave in that situation, to be tortured, it would be better to die than life, and he shuddered at the thought of it.

He watched the procession of the temple pass through the small square, and the chanting and singing faded away.

“Let’s go.” Shire regretted that it was difficult for the Hunter’s Sanctuary to play against the local temple.

After returning to the Hunter’s Sanctuary, Ciel saw a child sitting on the steps leading to the main entrance.

“This is the Hunter’s Sanctuary,” Charles told him. “You are on the wrong track.”

“Do you still remember me?” The child was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and Charles could see clearly now that it was Luo Dan?

That kid from Durham Village, how did he come.

“You’re that kid from Durham Village.” Ciel tried to recall, “You originally… you wanted to set out with me, but you haven’t set out yet. When I heard that I was a demon hunter, I ran back… I thought we would never see each other again.”

“I came here after mental preparation.” Luo Dan said quickly, “I heard that I want to hunt demons… This is too dangerous! I was scared away for a while, but after returning to the village, I felt that I couldn’t give up! I must fight monsters!

“It sounds empty.” Charles thought for a while, “Are you ready?”

“I did a good research on how to use the sword, how to hunt, and left the village only after I was fully prepared to deal with the devil!”

He shows Ciel the equipment he’s obtained.

“I spent all the money, bought a sword, a leather armor, three pieces of bread, and ate one and a half a day, so I rushed to the Ash Tree Hall!” He was very excited.

“Why don’t you go inside the house?”

“It’s too dark inside, but a man walked in directly. He should be bolder!”
