Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 84

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 84]

“You won.” Bey looked at Ciel with a livid face, “You won.”

Charles was just silent.

Looking at Ciel’s eyes, Bey suddenly collapsed: “Forgive me.”

Charles shook his head, we can’t ask anyone’s forgiveness.

Let him die, and the leader will be removed.

“You!” Cameron was furious when he saw Bey fall down softly, “You dare!”

“Do you want to stay too?” Charles asked.

Cameron froze, turned around and fled, not even taking care of the horse.

He was doing it right, because at that moment, Ciel felt like he could really do it.

“Think about it…” Gladio whispered. “Would it make you happier? Wouldn’t it make you more comfortable?”

Ciel looked at his knife and didn’t respond for a long time.

Bright fire, trembling crowd, dazzling blood.

Chapter 104 Edge

Shire and Kryush return to the sanctuary.

“You don’t look very pleasant?” Kryushi asked.

“I don’t know.” Charles sighed.

He looked back and saw that the surviving thieves were tied up in a row with ropes, the first man’s neck was fastened with a rope, and the latter was attached to the wrist of the latter, walking down the street in a very humiliating posture and being driven to the prison.

More thieves died in the flames, no bones left.

But there were more than thieves, there were real bartenders, barmen and other innocents.

“Yo, they’re going to jail.” Kliu gave them a hopeful look, “but many of them will be released soon.”

“Of course, they won’t die.” Charles understood.

“That’s not the case either.” Kliushi shook his head, “Even the death row prisoners will be released early, and those who have robbed and murdered many times can live in peace all year round.”

“Why is that?” Charles frowned.

“Because there will be nobles who will come to bring people up.” Kliushi explained, “Brother Ciel, I know you are the type who doesn’t like sand in your eyes, but there are some things we have to compromise.”

“The nobles won’t protect them.”

“Some need to be protected, because some thieves work for the nobles, fighting their competitors, and guarding the manor and property. Bey manages the local thieves. They are not just a group of gangsters, they also have a deep relationship. I I worked for Lord Caluson before, and I have dealt with them. If Lord Caluson is a gray force, they are a black force, haha—” Kliushi laughed.

“Bey is dead.”

“Of course, it is fortunate that he is dead. He holds the secrets of many nobles. Many people are happy to see him die. Lord Caluson will be very grateful. Bey and Lord Caluson have a very poor personal relationship.” Kliushi explained.

“I didn’t kill them, I handed them over to the law, and then the law made me compromise, and finally even the death row inmates among the thieves can leave the prison neatly? Then I should just kill them.” Ciel was confused.

“Lord Caluson told me that the criminals of the Thieves’ Union are actually political bargaining chips. Today, the nobles violated the law and took these reliable thugs from prison in advance. If Mr. Rene did not picket, it would mean that Mr. René sold them favors. , In the future, the lord will summon vassals, tax obligations, and make decrees, and they will also have to remember today’s accommodation and give the count a face.” Kliushi explained.

“But after they leave the prison, they will continue to commit crimes.” Ciel felt that criminals were demons walking on earth.

“That’s another story. As their guilt increases, they will eventually be abandoned, and what awaits them is the real death penalty.” Kliushi stroked his long beard, “Fifty years of this life, see you Too much karma.”

“Justice.” Charles muttered.

“justice?”

“There is a gap between the law and the public.” Charles used his hands to draw a line. “Where the law cannot control, there is where the law cannot protect.”

“It’s human nature.” Kliushi was older, and everything was not surprising in his eyes, while Shire was young and sometimes confused.

“From this void, organizations such as the Thieves’ Union have grown. In many cases, their words and threats are stronger than the law and more feared. In places where normal order cannot cover, they It’s the new order.” Ciel recalled what Bey had said.

“The Hunter’s Sanctuary is doing something similar.” Kryushi guessed Ciel’s intentions.

“Bey…their leader, he said that the Thieves Guild should be made into a righteous hand in the city, where the law can’t govern, and they will rule…”

Kliushi looked solemn.

“Hey, Mr. Ciel, you don’t want to replace them, you are demon hunters.”

“This is what I’m going to do… Moral corrupt humans are just as abominable as demons, thieves help the fallen, assist them in invading the temple, they are naturally easy to be tempted by demons. If only the demons are eliminated, without the If this world is managed well, everything will be done in vain.”

“Only the law can govern the world. Trust me, child, only the law.” Kryushi shook his head.

“Then the blank I mentioned, the place we can’t control, should be handed over to the thieves?”

“I didn’t say that, but…you are weak now, and it is impossible to occupy this ‘blank’ alone.”

“Someone to share with us, and… control.”

“For example, Lord Carlusson.” Kliusi was very happy, “We will be very good partners, you have a knife, a strong temple, you are familiar with the Rocher, and we have information, personnel, and assets. .”

“I think it’s possible, too,” Ciel whispered.

“It sounds like you have a heart.”

“No, not now, but give me a year, two years. I want everyone to stop being afraid, stop being afraid of demons, or humans who are as terrifying as demons. I don’t believe that the world is like this…”

“Mature people are always miserable, young people are often blind.” Kryushi said meaningfully.

The old mercenary gave Ciel a sense of worth asking.

“Are we doing the right thing?” he said.

“As far as I’ve seen and heard, both justice and evil are very empty, and only interests are worth looking at.” Kliushi laughed.

I am doing what is right.

“You suddenly started looking for justice because you wanted to make excuses for killing yourself,” Gladiu said softly.

“I……”

“This is just the beginning, but don’t go into it, Ciel, there will be more and more reasons, because the other party is too bad, because the other party has done something wrong to you, because the other party worships heresy… In the end, we can simplify these excuses.”

“simplify……”

“You kill because ‘you want to kill’. That’s all.”

“But I shouldn’t do it.”

“Wrong, kill, you can kill, I have killed several worlds without knowing tens of billions of life, it is the power that gives you freedom. Relax, get rid of your morality, get rid of your reason, embrace desire, embrace ‘I want’, ‘I want’ and ‘I can’! You will escape everything and become the master of your own destiny, instead of being bound by empty thoughts and becoming a marionette, ridiculous and pathetic!”

“Then I’d be a beast, a demon, a criminal—but I’m actually different from the robbers in the tavern! I’m different from animals because I can judge right or wrong, and I have my own limits.”

Losing his mentor too early was the most painful thing for Ciel. He had to argue with the devil himself, and he had to find his own way under the interference of the devil’s words.

“Look at you, you’re looking for a role model again, you don’t need someone to lead you in his path. No one can help you, and you don’t need help. I know all mysteries and can enlighten your mind. .” Gladiu sneered.

“You told me this, didn’t you want me to go your way?” Ciel was a little angry.

“Because I know my path is absolutely right, I don’t need you to think.” Gladiu arrogantly stated his attitude, that’s his style, he doesn’t like to be persuasive, he reveals his intentions.

Ciel felt himself sinking, suffocated by the whispers of the blade demon.

“Self-interest pushes people to progress, moral obligations make people trapped, and never force yourself to be too tired.” Gladiu whispered and seduced, “Go, kill people. Think about it, it’s Duvin who made you fall into this place. At this point, mortals are unreliable, and this road can only be walked alone.”

Duvin… Duvin betrayed me.

I rescued him before he was executed by the law, but he betrayed me.

I’ve done all this…isn’t it…

Kryushi’s cry broke Ciel’s musings.

“Hey, what is that?” Kryushi pointed to the door of the church.

Charles raised his head and was startled to realize that there were three huge carriages parked at the entrance of the church. Each one was wide in size, the carriages were huge, and the carriages were piled full, covered with heavy black cloth.

“Hey!” Ines got up from the carriage, “Hey! Ciel! It’s back! Waiting for you! I’ve killed several bastards!”

“I drove like a car for the first time!” Madden was extremely excited, “I’m a genius!”

Du Wen stepped down from the carriage headed by him, walked towards Ciel, and smiled: “Sir. Is everything okay?”

“You?” Charles frowned, “How…you…”

“I’m sorry.” Du Wen put away his smile and said nervously, “I didn’t explain it in advance.”

“What did you want to do?” Charles wondered.

“It’s like this, I have to pretend to betray you in order to gain their trust and get the opportunity to drive these carriages out of the city in person, but I didn’t leave. I joined everyone who was guarding outside and stole this batch of goods together. ‘ Duwin explained.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Charles frowned, “I almost died.”

“Ah? You had a conflict with them?” Du Wen was stunned.

“What more!”

“No wonder I heard a big explosion,” Madden muttered. “What did that blow up?”

Xia Er pointed to his heart, because this place was almost destroyed by the blade demon, if he took the risk and ran into the fight without looking back, the city might be bloodshed tonight.

“That would be great,” Gladius bemoaned.

“That’s right,” said Du Wen uneasily, “I don’t dare to say it explicitly, because you are vigorous, young and majestic, you are a decent and decent person, and you are not as old and cunning as I am. The more similar we are, the less suspicious the thieves will be, and the more successful our operations will be.”

“But I am surrounded by a group!”

“But—but aren’t you going to turn into a shadow? That’s why I decided to deal with it this way. No matter how they treat you, as long as you turn into a shadow like that day, you can retreat quickly? They definitely won’t be able to catch you. , can only wander in the tavern.” Du Wen puzzled.

“In the future…” Ciel patted him on the shoulder, “I still need to communicate in advance.”

Chapter 105 Growth

Three carriages, heaped with treasure.

Charles pulled off the string and lifted the black linen to reveal the materials underneath. The first carriage was loaded with a large pile of ornaments that were almost overflowing. There were gorgeous oil paintings, jewelry, jewelry, and gold and silver. There are candlesticks, there are wall hangings shaped like animals or little devils, there are books, there are figurines, there are oil pots, there are food and wine, and many more things are hidden underneath.

“It’s all the property of the church.” Charles once visited the church with Etienne. At that time, there was only one person living in the church. Master Frederick wandered alone in the magnificent hall, talking with Etienne about the past. , Ren Xiaer strolled through the upper and lower floors.

“It’s beautiful.” Ines held up a statue made of white marble, with long arms, carved with a bow-wielding demon hunter, dressed in old fashion, with a heroic and upright posture.

“This is the statue of the original hunter. It is placed in the alcove in the side hall.” Ciel vaguely remembered the original location of these things, “…put it back slowly.”

Madden moved the portraits from the carriage, staring straight at the ornate drapery, rare fabrics, and delicate curtains beneath.

“It’s all our stuff? Ours?” he was surprised.

“Of course.” Charles stroked one of the high-grade curtains with his fingers, and the touch was smooth. It should have been hung in the confinement hall of the sanctuary, but now it was randomly stuffed into the carriage by the thieves. “The next time people come to the sanctuary, Will be amazed by its divine grandeur.” The entire sanctuary should be immaculate, and demon hunters should be a respected and influential profession.

“It’s starting to be amazed now.” Kryushi looked at these rare ornaments with interest.

The carriage in the middle is filled with a lot of ordnance, which the thieves stole from the three-story warehouse. There are long swords against the wall of the carriage, light crossbows are neatly arranged, the crossbow shells are stacked in boxes, and there are more than 30 sets of leather armor. , wrist guards, boots, helmets and other equipment are also readily available, as well as a large number of black cloaks that come standard with demon hunters, which are crumpled into a ball and thrown into it, and discarded at will.

“So much equipment!” Madden couldn’t wait to pick up a crossbow and tried to load the balls into it, but he couldn’t do anything and couldn’t press it into the groove for a long time.
