Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 66
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 66]
“Who are you?” he said harshly.
“I live at the head of the village.” Madden was confused, “Why did you escape from the village?”
“There is something wrong in the village.” The other party frowned, “There is an accident in the village.”
“Tell me more.” Madden urged, while Charles listened carefully and observed the other party’s expression.
“The purple-clothed people in the city,” he was referring to the priests, the gods Shangzi, “came to the village and went from house to house to find traces of witches. I know that once things get on them, they will definitely not stop, hurry up and fuck run away, or your mother will be trapped in the village now.”
“Witch? To Sanwei Bay?” Madden looked incredulous.
“Who knows.” He shook his head, “We have two witches, and one of them must be a witch! Everyone is so scared, what is this called. I originally wanted to go to the Ash Tree Hall, but I heard that the witch has just attacked Lord Rene’s apartment, killing a lot of guards, the city can’t stay in the city! Where do I go to hide?”
“What are you running in the village?” Madden was confused.
“I can only go to the woods to go to a distant cousin. People don’t necessarily accept me. It’s all fucking messed up recently. Have you ever seen a dog taller than a person? Have you ever seen a dog that can eat people? More than a wolf and a cow .”
“I see.” Madden nodded, “I’m not a fisherman now, I’m a demon hunter! I’m the master of the temple by my side.”
“Hunter? Pushing!” He laughed, “Go hunt those soldiers in purple.” Then he disappeared into the woods.
Ciel thought for a while, has the contaminated dog group approached the countryside?
Even the fishermen have witnessed wild dogs contaminated with demonic breath, indicating that they are everywhere. The demonic beast should continue to grow its influence somewhere in the city. The priests influence the village in the name of searching witches. The result of a feud with the witch.
In any case, the trip to Sanweiwan might be a little more complicated than he thought.
“What should we do?” Madden turned to look at Ciel. “Are we still going? I feel mysterious. Everyone in the village may be suffering right now.”
“Go.” Ciel nodded, if they are searching for witches, the witch who has always been secretive is likely to be investigated by the priest, once she falls into the hands of the priest, the Hunter’s Sanctuary will lose a potential arm, “he said two A witch?”
“Yes, it’s scary. It’s the granddaughter of the old witch. I’m very afraid of her.”
“She also turns people’s balls into rocks?”
“Uh, another form of terror.” Madden shook his head, “I can’t tell, Lord Shire, imagine if your neighbor could kill you at any time, what would you think of her?”
“I see.” Ciel mused, “but pay attention to one thing.”
“Um?”
“Don’t tell anyone that you are a demon hunter, and don’t reveal my identity to others,” Ciel instructed. “Now is the time to be extra cautious, and don’t tell anyone important information.”
“Yes, we brought a disguise.” Madden said it all. “You are a friend I met along the coast, a fisherman who lives alone, and I am a native of Sanwei Bay. We are honest.”
“That’s it.” Charles nodded, “Go ahead.”
After walking for another seven or eight miles, Shire and Madden came to Sanwei Bay. They stopped on a higher hillside, borrowed a few pine trees to hide their tracks, and looked out at the village. It is not small, at least a few hundred households, it can be regarded as a fishing market town. Most of the houses are distributed in a ring along the coast. There are medium-sized fields and orchards around it. During the period they will be decorated colorfully.
.
There are many piers around the bay, and there are at least 20 large and small fishing boats moored in them. Charles saw people gathered on the pier, and some temple guards wearing purple cloaks guarded them. It looked like a priest was admonishing them. Whip, book in one hand.
A man walked out from among the fishermen and retorted something loudly. He was immediately caught by two guards and sent to the end of the trestle to be pushed down. The man fell into the water immediately, and the others were silent.
“Damn,” Madden murmured, “I saw my buddies, my relatives, they… ugh…”
Ciel looked at the coastal flats, extending all the way farther, where the terrain was steeply elevated and there were craggy cliffs.
“Is the White Gorge cliff there?” Ciel pointed to the cliff.
“It’s almost the same, but it’s more secret. There are several reefs to go around. There are several similar cliffs there, which are not connected to each other. The White Gorge cliff is the most secret one, and the witch is also hidden inside.” Madden explained.
Ciel looked at the fishermen ahead who were being interrogated by temple guards, and then looked into the distance.
“Help everyone,” Madden begged.
Chapter 83 Resistance
Charles groaned.
He thought of a way very fast, and he knew that he could not kill all the temple guards alone. These people directly belonged to the priests, specializing in training and fighting, religious and fanatical, and they would definitely not be afraid of death when fighting.
Then, the only way to solve these people is to call on everyone to resist together. This is a big village, with at least a few hundred people, even if it is a mob, they can use their numerical advantage to win.
How can we inspire everyone’s fighting spirit?
“Where is your village chief? Was he also caught on the dock?” Ciel asked.
“The village chief… We don’t have a village chief, but there is a leader who lives there.” Madden pointed to the big house near the square, and carefully distinguished the detained people on the pier, “… He should not have Get caught, guys like him, even if they get caught, they have to stand in front of everyone.”
“How does he usually behave, does he have authority?”
“He is the biggest landlord in the village, our good master, rich and powerful, but reasonable, not bullying others, and helping us and Lord Rene to fight taxes, so everyone is willing to listen to him.” Madden explained.
“What’s the name?”
“Jeffrey Podolomer.”
“Very good.” Charles nodded. “We have to go and see how Mr. Porteromere’s attitude towards the priests is.”
Ciel scouts the path from the hillside to the village, then sneaks into the village.
Because most people are concentrated on the pier, the village is quiet.
It stands to reason that there should be dogs guarding the home to watch out for strangers, but all the dogs disappeared without a trace. Ciel guessed that they had been summoned by the witch and became her evil loyal servants, and were slowly transformed into more terrifying creatures. monster.
They walked through the village cautiously, vigilant for possible temple guards. The closer they got to the village, the louder the noise from the pier became. It seemed that the priest was chanting the scriptures aloud, or criticizing what they saw and hearing, and severely reprimanded them. Constantly, very noisy.
Approaching Jeffrey’s house, Charles and Madden leaned against the wall, listening to what was going on inside.
“…So, let’s be reasonable. We just took a little money from you.” Ciel heard a frivolous voice.
“Hey.” Another man complained, “Lord Ludin, the money is the money. How long are you going to stay here?”
“This is Jeffrey’s voice.” Madden’s voice was like a mosquito, a little nervous.
“It won’t be long. When we find the witch among you, we’ll leave,” replied the man named Ludin.
“She’s not a bad person,” Jeffrey said.
“Haha, whether she is a bad person or not, we will find out when we take her to the temple and interrogate her in front of the gods of the Beauty Gate Hall.”
“What do you want to do to her?”
“It’s nothing, it’s just that the gods don’t allow the world to hide filth, so we have to act for the gods and do a good job of cleaning up. Simply put, we will transform her from the inside out to make her a better version of herself, don’t worry. Well, from now on she will no longer pursue evil, but will be devoted to good and become our loyal servant.”
“It’s as simple as that,” Jeffrey sighed. “I’m afraid her grandma won’t let it go.”
“The old witch is just a dead bone in the mound, don’t worry, we won’t spend too much effort, we have brought most of the people, and she can’t win no matter how arrogant she is.”
“I heard someone scream, what’s the matter? Sir.”
“It’s just wear and tear.”
“loss?”
“Everything is lost. Just like the gods forging the sword of the Temple of Beauty, there will always be leftovers that cannot be used properly and have to be thrown to the ground. This is the only way of destiny. Hahahaha…”
“…So you are killing people in the village.”
“Are they men? Maybe, but they’re not with you, Mr. Porterome, they’re poor people, fishermen who can’t get enough food, and you’re high, you’ve got your own fields, orchards, houses, and servants, you They are highly valued by Lord Rene, and they have never even been to the Ash Tree Hall in their entire lives. Your knowledge is so different, and your status is so divided, so why do you think about these ants? They life and death are so light and weightless. You’re different, you’re a big man, and it’s self-deprecating if you take care of them. So just equate their screams with the barking of pigs and dogs. Okay.”
“Hey.” Jeffrey sighed again.
“Don’t you treat me with tea? You should have the tea imported from Ocean Ocean, right?”
“It’s over,” Jeffrey said dryly. “Excuse me.”
“Hey, then I’ll go first, the pier needs me.”
After the footsteps were gone and could no longer be heard, Ciel climbed up the wall gently, stuck his head out silently from the top of the courtyard wall, and observed the situation in the courtyard. A well-dressed man stood in the center of the courtyard, with hair The beards are carefully trimmed and quite neat, but his face is melancholy and he sighs while holding his hands.
Xia Er jumped, jumped over the wall, and landed on the ground. The people in the courtyard were shocked when they saw Xia Er.
“Who are you!”
“Jeffrey Podolomer?” Charles asked.
“No matter who hired you, I can pay twice the price, don’t kill me.” Jeffrey was very nervous.
“I’m not a killer.” Ciel shook his head and looked back at the horrified servants beside the room, “Let them not panic and shout.”
“…” Jeffrey dismissed the servants, “It’s okay, don’t be nervous.”
“Sir—” the servant called in a hoarse voice.
“This person has some use for me, and my life is guaranteed.”
Seems like someone who understands.
Charles thought to himself.
“What do you want to do? This is not a good time. There are temple guards outside, and the Great Priest Shavar is there.” Geoffrey asked cautiously.
“How much did that person extort from you just now?” Ciel remembered that they talked about money at the beginning of their conversation.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Jeffrey shook his head, “I am a believer in duty, and I should donate.”
“Donations should come from the heart, and should not be forced by others. What is the difference between them and robbers. Are you willing to be a mermaid and be a fat pig?” Charles frowned.
“Then what can I do?” said Jeffrey uneasily. “Where did you come from? Are you from the Hundred Sons? You want me to go to work with them?”
“Who is your allegiance? God, the king, or Lord Rene?”
“I have a lot of confidence in all three.”
“Then you are so pathetic. The servants sent by the gods are blackmailing you, the king did not know the existence of this village, and Lord Rene never sent a single soldier. You were attacked, slaughtered, fed by pirates and monsters. disturb.”
“I can’t turn against the people in the temple because of this. Living is the top priority. Just pay.”
“Alive? I saw some people being pushed into the water, what’s that?”
“It’s not me anyway.” Jeffrey gritted his teeth.
“But you are responsible.” Ciel said the alarmist thing as true as it is, “their purpose is to occupy this village, and you could have managed it, as everyone’s protector, you are loved by everyone, you arbitrate Right or wrong, you are the most powerful person in the village, and they have no right to dictate your territory. Lord Rene doesn’t care about this place, you are the actual ruler of the village, aren’t you?”
“I’ve also thought about this kind of thing.” Jeffrey’s face stiffened, “…I personally manage this village, everyone listens to me, everyone respects me, I was born and raised here, I love this place…”
“Then you watch it all happen, indifferent.”
“Then what should I do…”
“Calling on everyone to rebel, they only need a backbone, a leader they trust, they lack direction, you give them such strength. After this incident, you will be the only hope for these hundreds of fishermen, you Will be the true ruler here, everyone is proud of you, respects and obeys your opinions, because you lead them to resist at this time of crisis.”
“But the temple revenge…will retaliate against us…”
“God only rewards good deeds and punishes evildoers. Even if the gods are on your side, what kind of storms can the servants of the gods make.” Ciel said.
“…I went to the pier to see the situation, I’m still not sure…” Jeffrey was a little shaken, he would never believe Ciel’s one-sided words, and it was impossible to be moved by simple words.
He silently walked out with a few servants, and Ciel hid his figure and walked at the back.
Madden, who was watching outside, saw their group and quickly followed.
Gladius laughed.
“To confuse others with power and illusory prospects, you learn.”
“…” Charles was silent.
I was never like this in the past, it was the devil who was affecting me.
“Relax, I have never influenced you, you are who you are. You have power, you can manipulate other people, you are suitable for such things, the weak should be fooled by the strong, and mortals are resources. Stupid Do it yourself, the strong take advantage of the situation. You speak, everyone follows, this is the only way out.”
