Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 88

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 88]

“There are people all over the world who secretly summon demons, and it is a matter of time before the demons come.” Ciel said that the demons came to this world like a tide and carried out horrific slaughter.

“What about the white-haired master below? Why are the two armies fighting in the background?”

“He is Master Leroy, a diligent hunter who established the Ash Tree Hall branch. He chose this place because Rain Bay Hall was going through a war at the time. After he built the Sanctuary, he went back to enlist in the army, and then Killed in battle; and below is Master Genn, with sharp horns in the background, because he was killed while hunting a mighty horned demon.”

“That old man’s portrait…why is there all fire in the background?”

“He was Master Lorenzo, from the Yamauchi Empire, who brought us the craft of the crossbow. But he wouldn’t give up his worship of the imperial gods, so everyone hated him, and he was caught by villagers and burned to death in a solo operation , People suspected that he was related to the drought, but after the death of Master Lorenzo, it really started to rain again in the Ash Tree Hall…”

Ines continued to observe the portraits: “…and this, why are there mice in the background?”

“Master Laval, a hunting madman, the master of the temple during the plague period, ventured into the epidemic area to hunt demons, and died of the plague; Master Walden, self-exiled after entering the advanced stage of insanity, was spotted by traveling adventurers. Equipment, was killed in the wilderness, and the body was found naked; then there was the sixth master, Regma, who was loyal and kind, the only one who enjoyed his old age, so the crow and the coffin were painted in the background.”

“There’s one more portrait missing, and that’s Master Frederick,” Ines said.

“We’re going to draw his portrait. In the background… there should be a blood-stained knife, a blade demon…”

“And your portrait,” Ines said maliciously.

“That’s too early.” Ciel didn’t know what his portrait would look like, and what kind of death was depicted in the background.

Footsteps broke the chat, and Charles looked back to see Hugo hurried toward him.

“Lord Shire,” Hugo said, “I saw everyone gathered when I was shopping for swords outside.”

“Gather?” Charles frowned, “Why?”

“The king’s envoy is here.”

Chapter 109 The King’s Envoy

King Eduardo is sometimes referred to as “the wicked one” because of so many bizarre events that haunt him.

Loman monarchs usually rule in rough, sometimes Frostfall barbarian invasion, sometimes Blue Isle raiders land, sometimes conflict with the southern peninsula, sometimes attacked by elven remnants.

However, since Eduardo’s rule, there has been no major crisis in Loman, and Guotai and the people’s security are almost a period of prosperity.

Not only that, but the Joint Council of Nobles rarely opposed him.

As a Loman tradition, the council recruited six nobles from the north and south, plus five high-ranking priests, a councillor appointed by the king, and the honorable protector of the country. These 19 people have the right to express opinions on the rule and promulgate The decree, most of the time, has more power than the king.

But His Majesty Eduardo Sofortaire always enforced his will without hindrance, changing and promulgating decrees with ease, rarely questioned by Parliament.

According to the Loman custom, His Majesty the King married several queens in order to have more sons and more blessings and avoid extinction.

But he has only one prince, the impeccable heir to the throne, that is, His Royal Highness Leopold Softel.

The King himself was reclusive, always Leopold listening to the public, and when His Majesty wanted to exert influence somewhere, he sent his enigmatic messengers, the King almost never left the West Coast, largely, The special envoy represents His Majesty himself.

Hearing that the special envoy came to the Ash Tree Hall, everyone in the church was also very interested and was going to watch the city entrance ceremony.

“I have read the letter you wrote,” said Ciel. “You said that the King’s envoy sent Master Frederick to hunt down the Blade Demon?”

“That’s right.” Delich changed into a long robe, wrapped in a cloth turban and carried a basket, looking more like a kind mother-in-law than a mysterious wizard, “A long time ago, the special envoy of the king sent him a letter, Tell him where the Blade Demon is coming, he seems very excited, and he must call everyone to the Dusk Forest.”

Ciel felt that there was a huge net invisibly covering the entire Hunter’s Sanctuary.

“What kind of person can detect where you came?” Ciel asked in his heart.

“It’s better to say, what kind of ‘thing’.” Gladiu muttered.

“When were you judged by the kings of hell? How many years ago?”

“I don’t know,” Gladiu said. “There’s a time rhythm, and time passes at a different rate from world to world.”

“What do you mean?”

“I spend 1 day in hell, the world may spend 1 year. Not constant. The more chaotic the place, the faster time passes, the quieter the orderly place, the slower time passes. So new worlds are born. At that time, the flow of time there is very slow, it spends millions of years, and hell may only spend a few moments. But when that world breeds intelligent creatures and starts to make noise and wanton, its time flow will speed up, For example, its 3 days is equal to 1 day in hell. In this way, hell can gradually capture and locate the world. The time flow on both sides is getting closer and closer, and then the observation will be meaningful. If you ignore the wrong time law and forcefully invade, you will find that the world changes day and night. , in an instant, the sun and the moon change, the vicissitudes of life, there is no room to start, the pre-agreed invasion site, the next second will spend seven or eight years in that world, everything randomly interferes, the earth and starry sky shift, and the previously locked coordinates are again Push back.”

“…I don’t quite understand it, but in a chaotic place like hell, the flow of time should be the fastest.”

“So we will eat the world and then merge it into hell, such as your world. When the devil comes, we will destroy civilization, annihilate all local gods, clear all surface buildings, destroy all vegetation and life, and turn this place into a To be desolate and bare, leaving only the sea and the earth, and turning this into an orderly, clearly recognizable world of dead silence, and then merged into hell, reducing our chaos, and thus helping hell mitigate the effects of the wrong time.”

“…It’s really been looked down upon.”

Ciel walked out of the sanctuary and looked at the excited citizens around. Everyone wanted to go and see the special envoy of the king.

“Do you know the King’s Envoy?” Charles asked the people around him.

“The king’s special envoy? It should be some kind of big man.” Ines thought for a while.

“He represents the king himself,” Hugo explained. “In a sense, he is the incarnation of the king, and wherever he goes, everyone must show him face as if he were the king himself.”

“Then he also plays on behalf of the king when he plays women?” Madden joked vulgarly.

“Maybe it’s true.” Kliushi laughed. He and Dailan protected Shirin as they walked through the streets. “On the west coast, many ceremonies should have been attended by the king, but in the end, special envoys came to do it.”

“How do they look?” Charles asked.

“Mostly women, very few men. It is said that there were twelve envoys of the king, ten women, and two men. It is said that all the envoys slept with the king because they were all beautiful. , the two men are also very handsome.” Kliushi thought for a while.

“Is that so?” He felt very curious now, what kind of guy is the special envoy of the king…

Apparently they acted on the king’s will, and for what reason did the king avoid people?

“You’ll like it,” Gladiu whispered. “Maintaining mystery is at the heart of maintaining governance, and you should learn from him. As long as people don’t know what he’s doing, he’s the king.”

“Yeah.” Ciel sighed, “I don’t know what he’s doing, so people will create all kinds of kings with their own ideas. Loyal people guess that the king is formulating all kinds of strategies that are beneficial to the country, The slutty fantasizes that the king is having fun with different wives and concubines, the peasants will think that the king is plowing with a plow made of gold, and I…I think he’s planning some sort of conspiracy.”

“Of course, because you don’t know, you’re afraid, so you’re worried. You’re ashamed to ask, you’re afraid to think. You feel that a man like a king must be able to do a lot of things you can’t imagine, so you start Dress him up in fantasy, in your constant guessing, his figure grows taller and more mysterious, the legitimacy of his rule more and more impeccable. This is power… Mystery maintains power, if you If you find that he is not worth mentioning, even stupid, you will never worship him again, and you will even consider replacing him…”

The king can’t always be well-mannered and smart and decisive, but he can always try to be mysterious, Charles thought.

“Special envoy! Special envoy!”

“Long live His Majesty the King!”

“Long live the Sofortaire dynasty!” The Loman kingdom has been ruled by the Romanian dynasty since King Godel, but Frederick II “Lucky” appointed the throne to Eduardo Sofortaire, The monopoly of the Romanian nobles on the throne was interrupted, and the dynasty was replaced.

The Romanian family has ruled for generations, leaving countless branches of famous clans in the country, and the territory is vast, but no one has commented on this strange inheritance, and no ambition of the Romanian family has tried to restore the traditional throne, which is doubly confusing. .

“I hate publicity,” Sarah whispered to Delicious.

“It’s part of life.” Delich stroked her shoulder. “We can’t live indoors forever, in the countryside.”

“But every day you say you want to go back to the Great Swamp.” Sarah pouted and complained.

“You should live a bright and colorful life, this is the destiny I foresaw from my dream.” Delicious smiled.

Charles looked from a distance and saw a carriage beside the road with a dark pink garland on the ceiling, which he recognized at a glance as Caluson’s chariot.

“Look.” Ciel motioned to Xilin, “Your father’s car.”

“Father.” Xilin repeated blankly, “Father.”

“Lord Caluson.” Kliushi showed a smile on his face. “He also wants to see the king’s envoy entering the city. After all, he is a very important person.”

“Are the envoys nobles?” Ines asked, “The kind from innocent and noble backgrounds?”

“Aha, maybe, maybe not.” Kryushi cryptically said he didn’t know anything about it.

They came to the car of Caluson, who was wearing a large hat and a leather vest, gazing at the road into the city.

Several guards stand scattered around him, covering every angle of fire.

“Monsieur Caluson,” Charles greeted him.

“Welcome.” Caluson patted Charles on the shoulder and hugged him like a nephew. “We are witnessing history.”

“What history?”

“This is the first time the king’s special envoy has visited the Ash Tree Hall.” Carlusson looked at the entrance to the city. The center was empty. People gave way to the king’s special envoy. The mayor organized people to sweep the street to clean up the excrement and dirt on both sides. to the sewer.

“I guess he didn’t come to be friendly and friendly with us.” Ciel was very suspicious of the special envoy’s purpose.

“Whatever he wants to do, he represents the will of the king, and in this country, the will of the king decides everything. I wonder if he will bring new opportunities, if we can have new cooperation.” Caluson nodded.

As always, he hopes to form an alliance with everyone and make friends, Ciel thought to himself.

He doesn’t care about dealing with demons.

Charles saw Rocher, she rode, and led the noble army to meet at the other end of the street, and the knights of Ashtree Hall were all gathered, and their armor was painted with various coats of arms, except for Rocher himself, the lion’s cross. , There are also standing brown bears, sword-wielding crows, helmeted griffins, crossed axes, and mid-hook squid.

A knight wore a visor with a green hyacinth painted on the armor, symbolizing that he was from the Alberta family. Charles judged it and thought it was Garnier, the eldest son of Lord René.

What a luxurious lineup, all the nobles gathered together, this should be the highest etiquette that the Ash Tree Hall can show.

On the other side of the street, a group of children in white clothes came barefoot, holding various consecrated treasures in their hands, such as purple boxes, vestments, orbs and scepters, etc. Children’s voices sing sacred songs that echo through the streets, and the pure voice makes people feel calm from the heart.

“It’s so nice.” Caluson said with emotion, “Lovely children…”

Followed by a group of trail knights, they were obviously from the west coast. The horses were all dressed in different patterns and colors of horse coats. The spear, looking straight ahead, makes a rattling sound when riding on the crotch, very rhythmic.

Their cloaks are uniform, all painted with purple warhammers on white.

“This is the real Royal Army! Members of the Knights!” Kryushi was delighted.

“Knights?…” Ciel had vaguely heard about the Loman Knights. They were sponsored by the royal families of all dynasties and called themselves the “Hammer of Loman”. A thousand members of the Knights can annihilate several times the number of barbarian stragglers, even in the face of the formed legions of the Yamanei Empire.

The Yamauchi Empire used state funds to form an army. Each legion had the same organization, and its members were all citizens of the empire, unlike Loman who recruited light infantry and archers from the common people, and used wealthy nobles as heavy cavalry.

“‘Lorman’s Hammer’! I didn’t think I could see it in this backcountry.” Ines thought it was very interesting, “I know a man who kept bragging about his relatives serving in the Knights, and now I see it. Come on, there is indeed the capital to show off.”

“Oh oh oh!”

“awesome!”

“The Order of the Knights! The Order of the Knights!” the crowd cheered.

About thirty knights crossed the street, turned over and dismounted in front of Rocher and the others, greeted the local nobles, and then led the horses to the side of the road, waiting for the next real noble person.

“Welcome to the King’s Envoy!” a man shouted from a height.

“Welcome to the King’s Envoy!” the people also shouted, holding their hands high and looking forward to it.

Some people in the distance have seen the special envoy of the king who entered the city, and made a burst of excited shouts, which caused the people standing here to be restless. .

“The king’s envoy is here!” Everyone scrambled to probe, eager to see through, almost walking to the middle of the street, and Ciel was so crowded that he couldn’t see anything.

He heard the sound of horses’ hooves approaching, a handsome man riding on a horse, and greeted the people around him with a perfect smile, nodding constantly, with a kind face, and a smile on his face when he saw Charles beside the road Geng Sheng, then calmly turned to the other side, waving at the people on the opposite side, as if he had never seen Ciel at all.

Charles’ face was pale.

The armor is sturdy and luxurious, and the appearance is like a living statue. He wears a sacred long sword. The sword sometimes flickers with golden light, and only a faint black power surges in the dark.

This is clearly Aeos.

Chapter 110 The Law

On the stone-paved streets, the knights passed by on horseback, and their gestures were extraordinary and won a lot of admiration.

The arrival of the special envoy of the king pushed the atmosphere to its peak. People kept cheering and threw flowers at him. The flowers brushed on his delicate and sturdy armor and flew all over the ground.

“The King’s Envoy!”

“The king’s messenger!” the people cheered and welcomed him with the greatest enthusiasm.

Most people have never had the opportunity to meet the king in their entire life, and now they are fortunate enough to witness the special envoy of the king, and they are very excited.

The King’s Envoy is a villain, a vassal of the Dark Lord, Ciel thought to himself, but he is so loved and regarded as a savior, and worst of all, what does he want?

The thrill of the fight against him the day before yesterday is still vivid in my mind. The two battles, the victory and defeat were fleeting, and even if he did it all over again now, Ciel was not sure that he could take him down intact.

In his memory, the hazy fighting skills were still on and off, and whenever he tried to touch it, the complicated thoughts of the original owner of the memory also poured out, making it difficult to use it freely.

The trumpeter raised his trumpet and played an exciting tune that Charles was familiar with, a tune that people always played whenever there was a grand celebration.

The guy threw himself into the darkness and enjoyed all the fame.

The temple is the enemy, the envoy is the enemy, and His Majesty the king is also the enemy, so where are my allies?

Ciel looked at the people around him, can they fight the darkness with me?

And if the darkness is not annihilated, the nightmare will catch up with him.

Ciel crossed the crowd and leaned towards the place where Aios and Rocher met.

“Where are you going?” Ines asked.

“Something.” Charles didn’t want to talk about secrets on the street.

“Don’t think about running around alone.” Ines followed closely behind Ciel,
