Chereads / The Blade of the Hunter / Chapter 38 - Sanctuary

Chapter 38 - Sanctuary

"I had two teeth knocked out in this pub last time." The soldier drove ahead, and at the same time commented on the streets of the Grey Tree Hall one after another.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm killing you!" They chased the stumbling beggar from under the horses' hooves.

"Why did you suddenly climb up here?" Shire looked back at Gina, "Be careful not to get too close to the devil."

Gina raised a corner of the linen to frighten Charles and laughed at the nervous look on his face.

"Why are you so afraid?" Gina said she had little gems pinned to her red dress, and passers-by stopped and pointed at the wreckage of a demon covered in a heavy white cloth carrying such a gorgeously dressed girl.

"Because demons have always been very scary." Shire was worried, "They like to eat our souls most, they come to this world to plunder us as food." And their ability is to affect our minds and make us crazy and irrational."

"The gods will protect us." Gina laughed again. "If you don't worship the gods, of course you'll be frightened by the devil."

"If the gods can really bless everything." Shire thought for a moment, "Why do disasters keep happening in the world?"

"You don't understand." Gina explained earnestly, "God has been watching over us, and if God hadn't been watching over us, those disasters would have had a much greater impact." Why didn't the tsunami wash ashore and sweep away the entire Ashtree Hall? Because God is looking out for you."

Shire mused, did he repeatedly adventure, but from the crisis is still alive, because God in the underworld bless him?

"You may be right, but I'm going to have to find out." Shire prevarication.

"Verification! Gina was not happy, "You can't test God, provoke God, or test God's power with strange ideas, these are disrespectful." If you have time, you should come and worship at the shrine of the castle. With the protection of the gods in the Temple of Beauty, demons are no longer terrible, for demons are no match for gods."

Charles asked Graddiu in his heart, "Can you fight the gods?"

"Even God has different degrees." Graddius answered vaguely, without making a definite statement.

It seems that God can indeed have a certain influence on demons, then you should also find a kind and reliable god to worship, to gain their support. Charles Mulling.

"You're very brave." "Said Shire." How dare you climb up here."

"Why dare you climb up? I can climb around in a dress."

"Your father is going to be furious." Charles was amused at the thought of Rene's state when he left.

"He won't be angry with me." 'People say my mother and I look too much alike,' Gina says.

The Shire had heard the story of Lord Rene spending a lot of money on a statue of his dead wife, and it was incredible that Rene, who had no money, would come up with the money from his own vault.

Two horses pulled the scooter along the street. Shire noticed that there were a lot of mysterious people in the dark alleys along the street, they wore capes, deliberately hid their faces, did not want others to see their faces, each one quietly watching the whole car.

They may be mercenaries, agents, spies and sorcerer's servants, trying to get information about the devil. Char feels like he should have been watched from the moment he entered the city.

They must also want the bodies of demons, who transform souls into "demonic substances" that they can use. This kind of dark, dark, solid soul can play a key role in some of the magic of some people, in other words, many people want to get their hands on the bodies of demons, or steal information about demons, in order to accomplish some of their hidden purposes.

This is the disadvantage of intelligence, there are many organizations and groups in the Shire's idea, but the Shire knows nothing about them, as a young hunter recruit, want to maintain the hunter sanctuary alone is extremely difficult.

Draco said the Hunter's Sanctuary was robbed. What did the thieves take? Who are their employers? A series of problems gave him a headache.

"I haven't left the castle in ages." Gina stretched, her long sleeves slipping down her smooth white arms to reveal them, and Char's eyes rested on her delicate skin.

"You and I have not known each other long," sighed Gladius, "but we have exchanged ideas and things, and I feel that we have been friends for years!" So I have to tell you, you can't have misleading ideas about fifteen-year-olds."

"I didn't." Char pleaded to the devil, "No."

"Your filthy subconscious has betrayed you." Graddius was furious, "As a human being, you must have a bottom line!"

"The devil is where the position says my bottom line." Shire was deeply displeased.

In his mind he was talking to Graddiu, but in reality he had to talk to Gina. "This is a beautiful city, and your father ran it well."

"People say Papa is the worst of the dozen lords, and the best of the next dozen lords, but I don't quite understand."

"Uh..." Shire remembered the young red-haired man at the Earl's side in Grey-Tree Hall. 'There is always a young man with your father. Is that your brother?'

"The proud, strong one? Yes, he is my brother." Gina was happy. "He's a good man. He hits anyone who bullies me over the head so hard he'll beg for mercy."

"So it is. It is a good family." Shire helpless.

As they rounded the corner, a dozen guards on horseback suddenly appeared, close behind them, their eyes fixed on Gina, evidently those the Count had sent to protect her. The presence of these guards made the Shire uneasy, and he looked back to see these elite guards in heraldic cloaks, carrying spears and swords, none of whom were friendly to the Shire.

Fortunately, after the appearance of these guards, those street and alley snooping figures also quickly disappeared, dare not stay on the street, can only hide in a more secret place to observe the whereabouts of the Shire, presumably they do not want to attract the attention of the ruler.

"That's Captain Reece." Gina saw the leader of the guard.

'What was he like?

"Very stubborn, pointing around with a big belly and occasionally saying something reasonable."

Shire looked back, glanced at the captain of the guard, Reese fierce eyes, forcing the shire to take back the gaze.

In a few moments the carriage was pulling them and the demon body to the door of the Hunter's Chapel, and Charles looked up at the chapel with a great sigh of relief.

The Grey Tree Hall Sanctuary is the core stronghold of the Hunter organization in the Upper Lman region, from here, the hunter master is responsible for managing all the hunters in the four towns of Grey Tree Hall, Rain Bay Hall, Yongquan Hall, and Linbian Fort, guarding and detecting the situation of the demon infestation in the nearby territory, and controlling all possible evil invasion disasters.

The church was a magnificent building of a dignified scale, with an exterior made entirely of regular greystone bricks, fronted by the main hall, with twenty steps leading to the ground, and over the heavy bronze door a stone statue of a blind leaping little demon, sealed by a petrified curse of hunters long ago, and imprinted in the door as an ornament, whether dead or alive. The dome of the cathedral was built in the shape of a spire, reaching high into the sky, a watchtower was placed high above, and huge glass Windows were set in gingerstone frames below, each of which had been made for dwarves in the mountains who knew how to make the ore as transparent as water.

On the right side of the main church is the side hall, used for regular access, the gate is very wide, can let horses and vehicles through, the interior is connected to the small garden, warehouse and training ground inside the church, the left side of the church is a tall stone tower, enough to six or seven stories or more, there is no external entrance, can not be entered from the street.

Shire, with excitement, walked to the bronze door, took the silver key from his knapsack, slowly inserted it into the keyhole, and then turned it, heart pounding.

He clenched his mouth, unlocked the door, and then pushed it open, and a mournful wind poured out of it, and the whole church wept for his return, and eight demon hunters, in full force, pursued the blade demon, and now one returned, along with the demon itself.

Shire's heart was heavy.

"Don't speak so bitterly." "Murmured Gladius." We are the hope of a new era."

Curious, Gina followed Char into the chapel.

Inside, a long red carpet leads to a high altar at the end, flanked by benches. The hall had obviously been ransacked, several Windows broken, curtains torn down, most of them stolen, only a few broken, some of the chairs smashed, Charles remembered that there had been seven or eight bright gold candlesticks on the high altar, now also gone, and Charles was most saddened by the frescoes of the great hunters, when the Church was rich, Painters had painted pictures of all the famous hunters and hung them high on the wall at the end of the hall for all the hunters who came after them to look at, but now they were all gone... All that was left was an iron frame that the thief could not move, alone on the wall, where the picture of the original hunter had hung.

"Wow -- this place --" Gina looked around. "It's totally ruined."

"Not destroyed." Char whispers, "The walls are still there, the bedrock is still there, I am still there. It will be as spectacular as ever."

How much did the thieves who broke in steal? Some hunters lived in the church, and they left a lot of personal belongings in the church, but were all those precious things taken away by the thieves? The thought of this, Shire a burst of anger.

These thieves who desecrated the church must be made to pay.

He went from the hall to the little garden beside it, which had also been trampled beyond recognition, and the robbers had walked straight across the lawn, leaving a heavy tread in the grass that could not be recovered, and countless mud footprints in a line leading to one side of the garden wall, which was somewhat broken and lower than the rest, and from which they had probably come.

When Charles entered the wing, the chests and chests were opened, and all the valuable things were gone, and Charles felt heartbroken just to look at them, he opened the door of the wing from the inside, and let the soldiers push the cart belt through the whole wing, and parked the devil's body in the garden.

He turned to Gina and said apologetically, "Excuse me, Miss Gina, look... It's a mess."

"I sympathize." Gina folded her arms. "... I'll have the guards find out who robbed the church. It's a beautiful place. It shouldn't be like this."

"Thank you very much." Char sends his compliments to Gina.

People are leaving in droves.

Shire closed the door and went back into the garden.

"I'm trying to rebuild this place from nothing." Gladius laughed aloud. "You are a qualified coolie."

Char stroked a boulder near the flower bed. It's fun to start with nothing.
