Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 77

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 77]

“Charle!” Ines glared at him, “Why did the witches come to the sanctuary?”

“We protect them and they provide us with appropriate assistance.”

“It sounds very legitimate–it just sounds like, I heard that the outside world is about to issue a ban on witchcraft. Protect them at this juncture? The temple will come to the door.” Ines was a little anxious.

“When the thieves’ union is settled, I’m going to see Caluson, who is preparing information about the temple. I suspect that the root of the devil is in the temple… I wanted to attack there for a long time, but I lacked key information. .” Charles thought.

“I’m afraid that the temple will take the initiative to find the door…” Ines worried.

“The sanctuary itself is as strong as the castle, and it is impossible for them to use siege equipment in the city.” Ciel thought while reassuring her, “As long as the front door is closed, the side door is guarded… A few people can defend dozens or hundreds of people. personal.”

“I don’t like to stand and talk, we should build a council hall.” Ines looked up at the watchtower.

“The fifth floor is empty.”

“The fifth floor has been occupied by witches, and they are going to turn it into a potion workshop… I can’t beat that old witch!”

“Then use the sixth floor, just do it.” Ciel nodded.

“I understand… The money I gave you was paid by those people for taking refuge in the sanctuary these two days. Guess how much?” Ines handed Ciel a heavy purse and smiled.

“I guess 100 silver coins.”

“Not more, 166 silver coins. The expenses can be satisfied for a long period of time.” Ines let out a long sigh of relief with an expression of suffering.

“I also brought back a few hundred gold coins.” Ciel nodded.

“So much money!” Ines was surprised, “How did you do it?”

Speaking of which, Ciel felt a little ashamed: “Extortion.”

“You bad guy.”

“I like being the bad guy.” Charles shrugged.

“Huh… we seem to be doing pretty well?”

“Of course,” Ciel nodded vigorously, “I said I would rebuild this place and rebuild the entire hunter organization.”

“Yes, now I’m going to practice swords.” Ines was in a good mood and turned to leave.

The idea that the temple would come to the door made Ciel uneasy.

He looked at the deep side tower stairs. The temple people have been rooted in the Ash Tree Hall for hundreds of years. It is indeed very difficult to fight against such a force.

He went back to his room and put things on the table. The whole room looked more refined, with more carpet on the floor, the sheets and bedding were warm and thick, and the private bookcase newly nailed to the wall was still empty and needed to be filled. , the brazier was burning brightly, making the whole room very warm.

Alicia lay lazily on the bed, with one foot on her knee, her hands behind her head, and she looked sideways at Charles.

“Where have you been?” she asked innocently.

“Do what you need to do.” Charles took off his coat and threw himself on the bed.

“I heard new people coming.”

“They are wizards from the swamp.”

“Wizards! It’s amazing!” Alicia was surprised, “then do they make all kinds of medicines?”

“Of course.” Charles rolled over.

“Your clothes are too dirty, take them off and I’ll wash them for you.”

“There are more important things than laundry, come here.” Ciel led Alicia to the table.

“What do you want me to see?” Alicia was puzzled.

“Money.” Charles poured out his purse, gold coins, silver coins and copper plates rolled on the table, and then the big purse given by Ines, poured out nearly two hundred silver coins from it, and then from The money box Jeffrey had extorted from opened, revealing a pile of gold coins lined up inside.

“Wow! So much money!” Alicia’s eyes widened, she was a little shocked, she couldn’t help reaching out to touch the coins.

Charles looked at her quietly.

“But—you, what do you want to do?” Alicia was confused.

“I want you to help me manage this wealth, my money, the temple money.”

“What?” Alicia was stunned. “Me? I’m out of my mind.”

“You are the person I trust the most, and I can only rest assured that the money is in your hands.” Charles tried to explain his thoughts, “… I can’t always carry a lot of wealth with me, and I can’t always manage my income and expenses myself. , Alicia, if not you, who else can I trust? I need someone who will never betray me, and that is my lover.”

Alicia looked at him embarrassedly.

“But what do I do? I don’t know anything yet.”

“You can learn, I can also wait.” Ciel put the table full of gold and silver into the money box, and the fortune of nearly 300 gold coins was already quite considerable, “You can go buy books, you can learn by yourself… Count the numbers. Things like that, when you understand the rules, you’ll be smart.”

“I……”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to, Alicia, I can find someone else. In fact, Ines is more suitable…she is the deputy of the sanctuary.”

“Don’t! Don’t!” Alicia almost jumped up, “I can do it!”

“Can it work? It’s arithmetic, managing the books.”

“Ugh… I don’t understand, but I feel like I have to start working hard from today!” Alicia scratched her hair, “Hey! Only smart people can understand math, but everyone thinks I’m stupid.”

“You’re smart, you’re gifted, don’t care what other people say about you,” Ciel said softly.

“Hey, this thing is complicated and unimportant! We have to figure out the most important thing first!” Alicia suddenly stood up.

“Huh? What is that?”

She quickly undressed, lay on the bed, and urged Charles to come.

“Hurry up, I want it.” The fierce look.

Charles stepped forward and stroked her until she was hot.

Alicia’s previous momentum disappeared and turned into a pleading, and when Ciel began to enter, everything became violent again.

He was sweating all over and hugged her back tightly. She tried her best to endure, but her voice was still unavoidably higher.

Extremely young and delicate, only one line away from development, such a body is infinitely beautiful.

Fallen forces must also be fought against, and women must be embraced. This is considered healthy, thought Ciel.

Chapter 97

Alicia couldn’t move, her thighs were shaking, and Ciel wanted to continue, but she quickly pushed him away.

“Next time,” she said weakly. “My chest is numb.”

“Oh.” Charles wasn’t quite happy.

“I’m screaming too loud.” She looked at the ceiling.

“It’s an expression of vitality.”

“Have to figure out a way…”

“any solution?”

Alicia didn’t say a word, just tried her best to close her legs, wrapped her naked body with the quilt, and went to sleep.

Ciel never had the habit of taking a nap, so he got up and walked around.

He walked to the hall on the fifth floor, which was said to have been converted into a potion workshop. Delicious was hugging Sarah and saying something to her. The witches were carrying things piled up nearby, and they had not had time to fully assemble. It is definitely a good thing to have a stable supply of potions. It can not only replenish physical strength and restore injuries at any time, but also cure various diseases and prevent disasters.

Hearing the footsteps, Sarah turned her head and saw Ciel, a little panicked, why is her face so red?

Charles was puzzled.

Sarah stood up in a hurry, not knowing where to go, bowed her head and looked uneasy.

“Everyone.” Charles greeted them, “Although the sanctuary is a little dilapidated, it still lives up to expectations?”

“Aha, of course, of course.” Delich smiled, “especially if it has a strong owner.”

“It’s a good thing.” Ciel nodded. “If you need something, you can ask someone to buy it. The situation outside is chaotic, so you have to be careful.”

“We have our own plans.” Delicious looked at Ciel meaningfully, and Sarah hurried to the end of the hall and opened the window to look at the scenery.

Potions, potions that are powerful enough, Ciel thought, just like the mixture he drank when he and Aeos faced off that day, it can double his physical strength. The power of medicine is indispensable.

“I hope we can work together for a long time after you all settle down,” Shire said.

“Sarah’s room is next door to yours, okay?” Delich asked.

“Very good.” Ciel shrugged, but what if Alicia disturbed her?

“Grandma!” Sarah turned back.

“It’s good,” Delich explained.

“Grandma! Someone! There’s a crowd coming to the sanctuary!” Sarah said uneasily.

Charles frowned, quickly walked through the hall, walked to Sarah, and looked out from the window. The street was full of anger, and a large group of people in different costumes were marching towards the church, mostly farmers, but also many citizens. Grab a pitchfork, club, and any weapon in your hand, and stride toward the sanctuary.

come yet?

Ciel thought of Ines’ warning, so quickly.

The sanctuary is so striking.

Anyway, just get on it.

When Ciel arrived at the door, Madden had a solemn expression, which was rarely shown on his face, as if things had reached the most dangerous point.

“Ah… lord, why is this…” He was a little uneasy.

Ciel saw a large group of mobs coming from the street. They looked fierce and severe, angry and suppressed, and a huge hatred stirred in their hearts. If it erupted, the entire church would collapse in an instant.

There were at least one or two hundred people, dressed in poor and plain clothes, some with fur hats, cloth hoods, and some with disheveled hair.

Some wear sackcloth, some leather, some wear long cloaks.

Some have clean faces, some have dirty faces, some have unshaven beards, some have beards, some are tall and some are short, some are fat and some are thin, this is a large group of ordinary people of Luoman, mortals, common people, originally only They would have been strangers on the streets, but now they have gathered in a fierce manner and gathered in front of the church.

There were hatchets, pitchforks, clubs, stones and flails in their hands.

“Go and close the door, side door.”

“Do I need to call someone here? My lord.” Madden was frightened.

“Be careful, don’t let anyone sneak in, leave the front door to me.” Ciel instructed softly.

Once upon a time I was one of them, Ciel thought to himself, perched at the top of the steps, looking out at the crowd below.

He remembered that something similar had happened once, when there were rumors that a woman in a nearby village had given birth to a deformed child, born with a swollen head and small eyes, which people called a monster, a symbol of misfortune.

The villagers were very upset, so they gathered in anger and killed the woman’s whole family.

Usually a kind husband, a simple and honest farmer, and a reliable neighbor, on such occasions, it is not surprising to become a butcher who cuts people out of the intestines without changing his face.

“What do you want to do?” Charles asked coldly.

“It’s you who harbor demons!” shouted a man in the crowd, who looked cleaner than the people around him.

“You kill innocent people!”

“You have to pay the price for the disasters that have come these days!”

“You blaspheme! Go to hell!”

What a feeble accusation.

Charles thought.

But meaningless slogans, as long as they have been recited hundreds of times, gradually become reasonable. They all seem to believe in them, taking empty scolding as justice and accusation, and taking lies as truth…

At first, there were only a few people shouting, but as their voices became louder and hundreds of people shouted in unison, Ciel felt a strong sense of unease.

“Where’s the evidence?” Ciel scolded, his voice overshadowing them.

“Do you dare to let us in to search?” the previous leader shouted again, “Do you dare to let us in and search!” He repeated, this time in a louder tone.

How could it be possible to let this mob in, the church will be destroyed, and everyone will have no peace. If the witches are discovered by them, then everything will be over, they will definitely be arrested, sent to the temple to be tortured, or tortured. Insulted, lip chopped off, stoned to pieces.

“The Sanctuary is the stronghold of the Demon Hunters,” Ciel said. “I won’t let you invade.”
