Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 79

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 79]

“Wait—hey! You’re crazy! You’re crazy!” he screamed.

“It’s scary!” Sarah looked terrified.

“Some people can only use steel as a warning.” Delicious wrapped her arms around Sarah and patted her on the back.

Seeing the man being executed, Roche’s eyes were flat, as indifferent as watching a pig.

Soldiers pulled his tongue out and cut it off bit by bit with a knife.

“Wow – wow ah ah -!” As his tongue was chopped off, he let out a shrill scream, blood gushing out of his mouth, his voice was hoarse, and he could no longer make a human voice.

“You don’t need to stop the bleeding.” Rocher stopped the army doctor. “If he survives, it means that the great priest Shawar prayed for him day and night.”

“Ha!” The personal soldiers beside her showed a cruel smile, as if they had become accustomed to Rocher’s behavior.

The mobs were dumbfounded when they saw everything in front of them.

“All disarmed, registered in the roster and transferred to the local prison. There is no need to hand over to the captain of the guard, Reese. It is only my order. In special times, severe punishment cannot control the situation.” Rocher briefly commanded, the soldiers approached from both sides, and one person was held Live in a mob, confiscate their rudimentary weapons, and take them all away.

“This is Lord Rene’s territory! Lord Garnier will decide for us!” someone shouted.

“After he was sent to prison, he chopped off his right foot — no, no, no, five toes, that’s just half a dissent,” Rocher said.

Everyone in the side hall saw the scene in front of them and watched Rocher’s soldiers escort the mob away, feeling very complicated.

“The noble army is as always… efficient and cruel.” Hugo sighed.

“How could those rabble rebel against the real Loman knights, I have seen too many peasant rebellions in my life, and they never came to fruition.” Delicious disdain.

“If it’s not a hundred wooden sticks, but a hundred crossbows, the outcome is still unknown.” Hugo shook his head.

“What a terrible woman!” Madden was flabbergasted. “Has she always been like this?”

“That’s Rocher of Gloomcastle.” Kryushi shook his head, “We’ve heard her name on the West Coast.”

“She’s been to the West Coast?” Charles asked.

“Of course, she participated in the knight competition held by the royal family in the spring of 470. All 128 knights from Luoman competed for the crown, and Roche was able to take the ninth place! He picked countless nobles all the way, only to lose to ‘Big Bear’ Morin Sir Eun and Elad the Shower. As a woman!”

“So she’s so powerful.” Ciel murmured.

“In a place like the West Coast where the rich, famous and famous are all over the world, she has never bowed her head.” Kliushi praised, “Many nobles wanted to recruit her and covet the land of Gloomy Castle, but she refused mercilessly, and even refused. insult them.”

“Aren’t those nobles taking revenge?” Hugo was puzzled. “From my experience, nobles must retaliate.”

“No, I was curious too. Later, I asked Lord Caluson, and he said, ‘His Majesty Eduardo admired her, so he secretly prevented others from taking revenge’.” Kliushi explained.

Caruson’s judgment?

At that time Caluson had the support of the Prince of Sound, and he could not be wrong.

The mysterious and reclusive His Majesty the King…

“Your Excellency Ciel, it’s nice to meet you.” Rocher got off his horse and walked towards Ciel.

“Thank you.” Charles greeted Rocher.

“It’s the same as before.” Rocher’s expression did not change, “Your Excellency is focused on hunting demons, and I am in charge of controlling the order.”

“It couldn’t be better.” Charles breathed a sigh of relief, “Would you like to sit in the sanctuary?”

“Very good.” Rocher nodded.

People scrambled to stay away from her, only Ciel dared to walk by her side, they entered the temple garden together, and she looked at Ciel carefully.

“Your Excellency seems to have changed,” she said.

“Really?” Charles was a little surprised, and sometimes he didn’t even realize it, “What is it?”

“Since I returned to Castle Gloom, I sometimes think of Your Excellency in my heart.” Although he said kind words, Rocher still looked indifferent, “When we meet again at this time, it is inevitable that there will be contrasts, and clues will be found from them. It is probably after a series of incidents. The change in your mood will also appear on the outside.”

“We’re all changing.” Ciel thought for a while. “Sometimes I don’t know if I’m getting better or worse.”

“I can understand.” Rocher looked around the dilapidated garden, and Shire planned to replant the flowers after spring. “When I was a child, my father told me to stay away from weapons and equipment, and concentrate on learning dance steps and talking. It’s better done this way. The political mission of marriage for the family.”

“but now……”

“Since my brother passed away from illness, my father changed my requirements and asked me to change quickly, removing my loom and puppet box and replacing it with a weapon rack and a horse. At that time, I also had the same confusion as your Excellency, and I changed completely. , but I don’t know if it’s good or bad, and I don’t know if it was intentional or not.”

“It was forced to change.” Ciel realized the situation. “…We were not originally, but circumstances forced us to make changes.”

“Meaning, we never chose to become this way, but in the end it became this way under external pressure.”

Ciel nodded, and Rocher hesitated.

“Unfortunately,” Rocher said, “with my hands full of blood, I no longer have the room to communicate my past peacefully with others.”

She walked down the hall, Charles walking beside her.

“Why do you say that?” he asked.

“Looking back at the past makes us weak, but looking forward to the future can strengthen our heart.” Rocher walked past the statue of the god in the hall and greeted him briefly.

“It was the past that made us who we are now.” Ciel noticed the faint sadness in Rocher’s heart. What was she sad about?

“I’m not used to talking about the past with people, and I don’t understand why I suddenly talked about childhood just now.” Rocher walked into the side hall of the church.

“Because you need it,” Charles said. “You need to share it.”

Rocher glanced at the people around him with a bit of annoyance. They all seemed to be intimidated by Rocher’s majesty and did not dare to act rashly.

“I don’t need it,” she said bluntly, and walked towards the upper side of the tower.

They walked through the stairs, and Rocher, in sturdy and heavy armor, reached the top floor, without gasping for breath, and showing no signs of fatigue on his face.

Ciel followed her to the observation deck at the top of the tower, which had a view of the entire Ash Tree Hall.

Rocher looked down at the street in front of the church, where several soldiers were washing blood.

“It’s exhausting talking to some people,” she said.

“how is it like?”

“‘Social entity’. When you talk to a noble, you are talking to 1,450 acres of land, a castle, five hundred soldiers, and two thousand gold coins. When you talk to a priest, you are talking to Talking to an entire noble religion and thousands of devout followers. It’s worrying and stress builds up.”

“But you didn’t flinch when that person mentioned the great priest Shawar.”

“Because Lord Rene instructed me to do so, Lord Rene ordered me to refuse the interference of religious forces in secular rule. This is a contest between the Earl of Ash Tree Hall and the local high priest, therefore, I will be completely loyal and impeccable. A firm stance against all measures of the temple.”

“Lord Rene…why does he hate the High Priest?”

“The temple has never repaid the loan in full, and Lord Rene will never accept it.”

“Money is really important to him.”

“He never did it for himself.”

Charles pondered.

“I’m not supposed to be a ‘social entity’.”

“No.” Rocher shook his head, “When I was talking to you, I was also talking to a whole magnificent sanctuary, nearly ten followers, and more than a hundred gold coins.”

“Is this also stressful?”

“So I stay away from the crowd and stand here with you now,” Rocher leaned back against the observation deck, feeling the high wind. “Here, I can talk without any scruples.”

She undid the grey ties she had used to tie her braids, and let her long pale red hair loose.

“How long can I blow the wind here?” Rocher asked.

“As long as you want.”

“There is no rest on the road of chasing excellence.” Rocher took off his gauntlet and opened his hand to the sun, “Holding the weapon for many years, occasionally dreaming back at midnight, recalling the childhood, as if from a lifetime, deep I feel sad and afraid, if my brother is free from illness and disaster, and inherits it, what will happen to me.”

“Have you ever felt happiness? I mean… happiness or something.” Charles thought for a while.

“The pursuit of happiness is to be content with the status quo. My father deeply instructed not to indulge in pleasure.”

“Is that so…”

“As far as I am concerned.” Roche looked at the whole of the Ash Tree Hall, “I only want to be famous in the history, admired by everyone, and famous for Luoman. The rest of the chores, including the so-called ‘happiness’, are just stumbling blocks.”

After a while, Rocher whispered again:

“But it’s a little childish to leave Kuangyan like this before the achievement is completed.”

“No, that’s good.” Ciel followed Rocher’s gaze and saw the rolling snow-covered wilderness outside the city, “I want to destroy the demons, destroy all the demons, and keep the people around them safe.”

“I see.” Rocher put his hand on Ciel’s shoulder, his eyes erratic.

“Ah, it’s time for everyone to talk about ideals! Let me tell you, I think…I think…I also want something! Let me taste more souls! Can you fulfill such a small wish for me? ?” Gladiu said excitedly.

“The truth is, nobody cares what you want.”

“You bastard!” Gladius cursed.

“Grey Tree Hall is becoming more and more chaotic. As a local vassal, I must not sit idly by. Ciel, you must be conscientious, perform your duties, and destroy supernatural evil. In addition, the order should be trivial, and I will coordinate and control it. Don’t worry.” Rocher recovered from his brief trance, returned to his original posture, and ordered solemnly.

“Okay!” Charles nodded vigorously.

Chapter 99 Drawings

After coming down from the observation deck, Charles sent Rocher away.

“The curfew will be doubled,” she said. “After six o’clock, I will pull up chains on the streets, light up every road, and the guards will respond to any disturbance.”

“With you in the Ash Tree Hall, it must be impregnable,” said Ciel.

“Together.” Rocher said goodbye and rode away with her army.

Looking at Rocher’s back, Ines folded her hands on her chest.

“You know her well?” Ines turned to Ciel.

“We’ve worked together to hunt winged demons,” Ciel explained. “She’s a very… special kind of person.”

“Strong,” Ines muttered, “and cold-blooded.”

“Do you appreciate such a woman?” Charles wanted to know Ines’ opinion.

“A woman like that must be lonely.” Ines shook her head. “She’s taller than many men.”

“She has to inherit the family, so she acts strong.”

“Fortunately, she came, otherwise the church would be in danger today.” She sighed.

“I guess the temple crowd is behind everything. I’m going to Caluson to solve this threat once and for all.” Ciel looked at the other side of the city.

“Wow, what do you want to do? Kill them all?” Ines was curious.

“…They asked for it, this is war.”

“War…” Ines thought thoughtfully.
