Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 73

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 73]

“Last summer,” Madden said, “I saw that bald man giving a speech in the square when I entered the city.”

“He said that the Lomans are the people blessed by God, and the people of the swamp should be expelled, and he also said that we are not worthy to walk on Loman’s land. Do you know Draco?” Delich was very dissatisfied.

“Yes.” Charles nodded.

“Draco said if we don’t kill Shavar first, Shavar will come to us sooner or later. This bastard… is actually right. I thought Shavar was as good as the dozen high priests before. .” Delicious was extremely disgusted.

Draco did talk to me about his plans for me to kick Shavar away from the Grand Priest.

It’s a pity that before there was time to act, an edict came from the west coast, and both Rene and Draco were transferred away.

Yes, when the wizard advisors around the lord leave, the priests can make full use of religious reasons to persecute ordinary wizards unscrupulously. Other wizards have no support from the secular nobles and can only rely on the cover of the nearby residents. It is difficult to survive from the ruthless priests.

How many other wizards are under attack in the Lorman countryside?

Charles was deeply worried.

“Hate forms a closed loop.” Delich watched the smoke drift up from the fire, “Think about it, priests hate wizards, wizards hate priests, and even ordinary Lomans. Every time a priest cuts off a wizard’s lip, Ten wizards joined the Dragon School. Every time the Dragon School wizards arrested a farmer for experiments, a large group of people hated the wizards, thinking that we would only harm the village. This cycle of things repeated, hatred accumulated, and The highest form of hatred is war.”

“The war between the Lomans and the wizards,” Charles muttered.

“It’s not far away, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” Delicious regretted, “You don’t understand the current situation in the Great Swamp, the Dragon School wizards have assembled under the same banner, ready to invade Loman at any time, to kill and injure their fellow villagers. Companion revenge. An army of wizards, an army assembled purely by wizards, who can resist?”

Who can resist…

“Hate… war…” Ciel ate the fish, and these complicated questions swirled in his mind one after another.

After eating, they lay down on the sand to rest, Charles and Madden on one end, Delicious on the other end with Sarah in his arms.

“You are gradually hearing some useful information.” Gladiu commented.

“What’s the meaning?”

“War, conflict, hatred… these things just make me feel uplifted. What a wonderful vocabulary. We should be in it and enjoy the whirlpools and rapids. There is no point in living at ease. From the struggle, we can get bliss!”

“You’re annoying.”

“The suffering is endless! You’d better accept the reality! But don’t worry, I will take care of you! Whenever you abuse your kindness, I will correct it in time! Make you always vigilant! Always profit from it!” .

Charles rolled over and saw the boat by the beach.

Gotta go back to the sanctuary, I’m going back to the hunter’s sanctuary, there’s a lot to do.

Now finally the witches have been rescued, but will they join us?

Ciel is deeply suspicious, and there are many mysteries about the witches to be solved.

Priests colluded with demons, kings colluded with demons, nobles colluded with demons, and the corrupt forces were stronger than I thought.

In the far-off hell, the Open Door Devil is constantly trying to open the door between the two realms. In the Great Swamp, the extreme Dragon School is preparing to start a war. In the Ash Tree Hall, the Thieves Guild and the Sanctuary have formed a relationship. Yes, the Thieves Guild, be sure to find them. They are troublesome, they have robbed the church, this account must be settled.

Thousands of threads… let’s finish them one by one.

I want to beat them, to overcome the difficulties and obstacles along the way…

Charles gradually fell asleep.

Chapter 92 Malicious Meeting

In the morning, Ciel offered to return to the Hunter’s Sanctuary.

“Ms. Delicious and Miss Sarah, too,” said Charles. “The sanctuary can protect you.”

“Forget it.” Delicious refused flatly, “The Great Swamp is the real sanctuary of mercy.”

“Um…” Sarah hesitated.

“What are you doing? Sarah?” Delicious was surprised. “Do you want to go with these two hunters?”

“I don’t like the atmosphere at home.” Sarah was distressed. “There are snakes, dead flowers and mud.”

“We are wizards, and we have always been with those things, not to mention there are fireflies, otters and peat moss there.” Delich persuaded.

Sarah didn’t seem to want to disobey her grandmother, holding her hands and saying nothing.

“The situation outside is dangerous,” Delich explained to Shire, “We can’t continue to stay in Loman, the situation is not good for us, I’m sorry.”

Charles is troubled, and the sanctuary needs the support of the witch.

“It’s not safe in the swamp,” Ciel explained. “The situation is getting more and more tense. As you said, the conflict is intensifying.”

“Do you know about the Corpse Throwing Swamp, or do I?” Delicious was very dissatisfied.

“Well, I’m sorry.” Charles greeted Delicious.

“Grandma!” Sarah was disturbed. “They helped us.”

“And we only have one boat,” Madden reminded everyone. “If we don’t go together, what will the boat be used for?”

“You rowed Ciel ashore, and then came back to pick us up, and we’ll go to the corpse swamp,” Delich said briefly.

“The Great Swamp!” Madden groaned. “I… ugh…”

“Are you afraid?” Delicious was aggressive.

“It’s a bit far, at least for a few days.” Madden whispered, “I’m afraid of the sea, I can’t stay at sea for too long.”

“How come you are afraid of water in Sanwei Bay?” Delicious glared at him.

“Aye! I can’t help it.” Madden was helpless.

“In this case, we can only go together.” Ciel suggested, “Let’s stay in the church for a while, and we can solve the problem together.”

“How to solve it? If the people from the temple besiege the temple, what can you do?” Delicious was disdainful.

“I can’t do it, but with you there, many times the enemy can’t attack. You should also know our sanctuary. It is a huge and magnificent building, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.” Ciel said.

“…Good boy, I’m worried that this bone will be explained to Loman, so it can’t be buried in the Great Swamp.” Delich frowned.

“In that case, I’ll throw grandma back into the swamp.” Sarah volunteered.

“Hey, that’s fine.” Delicious approached Sarah affectionately, “My good boy.” Then she gave Ciel a stern look, “Then you must make a way for us to see if it’s safe. On the road back to the city, are there any temple sightlines everywhere, and watch out for assassins.”

“I understand, this is what I should do.” Charles nodded.

They ate something, and then Shire and Madden paddled off the sandbar and approached Sanwei Bay.

The water was constantly being ripped apart by the boats, leaving long water marks behind them, like scars.

After yesterday’s turmoil, the fishing village looked a little lifeless, and people watched the boat from the shore.

“Do you see any threat?” Charles looked around the fishing village.

“It looks peaceful, so far.” Madden looked. “I see my uncle and aunt.”

“Come closer, then you wait nearby, don’t get off the boat, if anyone comes close, you can run away.” Ciel instructed.

“All acquaintances are nearby, they will remind me.” Madden said confidently.

When there were still more than fifty meters from the beach, Ciel jumped off the edge of the boat and waded to the shore. Everyone in the village looked a little nervous. Sometimes they pointed at Ciel and talked endlessly. After the incident like yesterday , Panic is inevitable, the woman hurriedly carried the child into the house, and the young and middle-aged man stopped his movements.

Charles remained calm, signaling to them that he was harmless.

He went straight to Jeffrey’s house next to the square, keeping an eye out for signs of temple guards along the way, and everything proved safe.

A servant at the door recognized Ciel.

“What are you doing here?” He was wary.

“Jeffrey will want to see me,” Charles explained.

“Master is chatting with someone else.”

“Other? Who?” Charles felt alarmed.

“There’s no need to tell you.” The servant shook his head. “If you really want to see me, I’ll report it.”

“Please.” Charles nodded.

After a few minutes, the servant led Charles in.

Jeffrey came out of the house and stood in the courtyard looking at Charles.

“It’s you again.” He felt uneasy. “What do you want to do this time?”

“We’re not enemies.” Ciel shrugged. “I wanted to ask if you could get a carriage and take us back to the city.”

“‘you’?”

“My comrades.”

“…Go to Ash Tree Hall… OK.” Jeffrey nodded, “I’m also happy to send you all away from Sanwei Bay.”

“Have the people from the temple been here? Has it affected you?”

“In fact, they were very polite and didn’t say anything. We asked them to be responsible for the dead. They mentioned that we killed the priest and a temple guard, but they didn’t mean to liquidate on the spot. Everything seemed to wait for Rene-sama. Coming back from the West Coast, that’s when everything will be taken care of.”

“I see.” Ciel pondered, “Where’s the prisoner?”

“Hid in my house.”

“I’m going to ask him something.”

“Don’t now.” Jeffrey shook his head. “He vomited and had a high fever. I hired a doctor to take care of him. If you want to stay, you can ask him again when he is better. I think You’d better stay.”

“I can stay.”

Jeffrey sends someone to find the carriage, Shire and Madden row back to the sandbar to take the witches back to Threetail Bay, Sarah has rosy fantasies about her new life in the sanctuary, Delich is more nervous than she is much more.

When the ship re-arrived on the shore, people saw Sarah and shouted excitedly, and Sarah nodded and smiled at them, exactly like one of their spiritual leaders.

No wonder the temple insists on rooting out witchcraft, they seem to want to monopolize the interpretation of supernatural phenomena.

The temple’s prestige would be greatly diminished if people were more interested in witchcraft than gods, thought Charles.

A spacious carriage was pulled into the middle of the square by the coachman, and the witches and Madden got into the carriage together, preparing to return to the Ash Tree Hall.

“Aren’t you coming with us, my lord?” Madden asked.

“I still have something to stay here. After you go back, pay attention to safety and obey Ines in everything.” Charles instructed, while watching the hired driver vigilantly.

“Understood.” Madden nodded, “Don’t worry about us, I know this driver, and he won’t hurt anyone from the village.”

The carriage swayed away with a whip, the wheels screeching as they turned on the gravel, and Charles watched the whole car disappear into view, then walked back to Jeffrey’s house with his hands behind his back.

“I’m still going to see the captive, even if he’s ill,” said Ciel.

“Hmm.” Jeffrey looked absent-minded.

They walked into the house, which was a spacious house with a long corridor facing the front, the dining room and the parlour on both sides, a staircase leading to the second floor, the wooden floor making no sound when stepped on, the stone walls smooth and painted It has a layer of gray, which looks like a paper material.

Jeffrey led Ciel to the door of a room at the end of the second floor.

He put his hand on the door and said to Charles:

“The priest has been redeemed by Shawar. He is not sick. I lied to you.”

“What do you want to do?” Charles put his hand on the gray knife.

“I can’t help it.” Jeffrey pushed the door open, and Charles saw a person in the room turn around.

He looked very handsome, in his twenties, with fair skin, like a living statue, with delicate features, a high nose and big eyes, narrow eyebrows and thin lips, and short, uncombed, naturally curly brown hair.

Ciel felt rather strange that such a person with such a perfect face would appear in such a fishing village.

who are you?

Xia Er wanted to ask this question, but when he saw the expensive and sturdy full-body armor on the other side and the golden sword around his waist, he instantly recovered.

This is the mysterious knight.
