Chapter Seventy-Two: Calus
When Adonis came to Orsenhold to meet Carus, the two immediately hugged each other!
As a young man, Calus, who had a stubborn personality but limited strength, was often bullied by other children. Especially after becoming a witcher, the younger witchers who are more powerful prefer to bully him.
In those days when he was bullied, most of the time it was Adonis who helped him out.
Because everyone will probably need Adonis' protection in battle, those young witchers will always give Adonis a little face.
That's not the biggest favor that Calus owes to Adonis.
Calus realized that he wasn't the kind of witcher who was suited for head-on combat.
He found that his mind was his greatest strength. So he was going to be a wizard.
But no one understood him at the time, and they all said that he was a coward who wanted to escape. There are even those who have framed him as a puppet of the devil.
Disheartened, Calus secretly left Petersenburg alone.
But when Adonis found him missing, he rode after him.
It was precisely because he caught up with Calus that he saved Calus's life. Rescued Calus from being surrounded by thorns.
But even after being saved by Adonis, Calus was still determined to return to Petersenburg.
Adonis had no choice but to send him to Carson City, where Calus wanted to go.
There's a reason Calus went to Carson City. He knew that since he had left Petersenburg. If you want to be a wizard, you have to buy everything you need yourself.
If you want to buy something, you have to have money. If you want to make money, Carson City is an excellent choice.
It soon became clear to Calus that his mind wasn't just fit to be a wizard. It's also good for making money.
Soon he made a small fortune by buying and selling.
After that, he was out of control, and in just a few years, he became a rich man until he became rich. At the same time, he was getting higher and higher in the attainment of wizards.
A rich and willful man who can "engage in scientific research" has built a city for himself.
After Calus let go of Adonis, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are really the Adonis who can't be killed......
But Adonis was not glad to hear this. Yes, he can't be beaten by Adonis. Nelson, however, is most likely dead.
But for now, we all have to put our sadness aside and face more serious challenges.
A group of people followed Calus to the council chamber. There were already three people sitting in the room.
These three men were also the captains of the garrison under Calus. They were each responsible for a part of Orsonhold.
With the addition of Caris, the captain of the outer guard, there are a total of four captains.
All four were rescued by Calus when their lives were in danger. However, because they were so badly injured, they had to undergo a "structural transformation".
The transformation of Caris lasted for a year.
Although the other three were shorter in terms of renovation, they were more powerful than Calis.
The long conference table is flanked by a row of high-backed chairs. But instead of sitting in a chair, Caris jumped on the table and sat down on the table.
And as soon as she sat down, a big black man who was already sitting in a chair next to her stood up. And when he stood up, he kicked Caris away. Flying straight through the window, the shadow is gone!
The big black man had a thorn in his head, and when he kicked Calis, everyone saw that he had a lot of thorns on his back.
Lake shuddered at the sight.
Everyone sat down, and Calus sat in the master's seat. He looked to the left and right and said, "The people sitting in this room now have a great responsibility. Of course, there are other demon hunters alive in this world. But none of them can save the world, and we can. I believe that all of you who are doing it can be trusted. ”
At this point, Caris crawled back from the window and said, "Are you sure......?"
Caris pointed at Fore to say something.
But Calus had already raised his hand and said, "Hurry up and do it!"
As he said this, Calus glared at Calis.
Carris immediately shuddered with fright. Then he quickly jumped down from the window, found a seat, and quietly made no more noise.
When Calis was ready, Calus stared at her and said, "You don't have to be naughty all the time. Usually I condone you to develop too many habits of talking for you. Even the bhikkhu is a little bit more rude than you know when to behave. ”
Caris, who was reprimanded, didn't even dare to raise her head. Even if her head is not that important to her.
After reprimanding Calis, Calus sighed and said, "Now the summoning of the power of the Holy Light has failed. And Taver's resonance with the Seraphs was temporarily interrupted. It looks like some angel is deliberately trying to get in the way. And I've already received a last word from Nelson...... He...... He's no longer there. But in his last words, he told me something very important. ”
Adonis immediately looked up at Calus, thinking he couldn't believe that Calus had received Nelson's last words. I couldn't believe that Calus was going to say Nelson's last words in front of so many people.
Because he was sure that Nelson's last words must have involved something extremely important.
Like Carris, he worries that not everyone in the room is so credible. Such an important matter should at least be discussed with him!
But Calus had already said, "Nelson has told me about the artifact. Those artifacts haven't fallen into Baron's hands yet. Instead, he has been hidden by Nelson in a place that only he knows. The question now is how we can retrieve those artifacts without Baron even noticing. After all, Baron will be there soon. And it's not easy for us to get the artifact. ”
"Where's the artifact?" Fore asked immediately.
Except for Calus, everyone had their eyes on Fore. And there was some hostility in their eyes.
Fore smiled again and said, "Haha...... As I expected. Okay, I've had enough. You have to choose between cooperating with me or treating me as an enemy. If I can't make up my mind, then I'll go. ”
Calus chuckled under his breath. After laughing, Calus said, "The fact that you are already sitting here means that I already trust you." And at Orsonhold, if you have my trust, you have the trust of everyone. ”
With that, Calus looked around at everyone.
Even Adonis, everyone couldn't help but nod. Several young men were stunned by Calus's domineering attitude. When I first met Calus, I didn't think this person was anything special.
But when he took out the "strength", a few people knew what it meant to be domineering.
Calus calmed down the scene and said, "I won't say more, just tell you about my plan." Baron boasted and returned, but due to the failure of the Holy Light's summoning, the demon would not come back for the time being. My men and I continued to stay in Orsenhold to deal with Baron's gang. Even if you can't beat them, you can hold them back for a while. Let's go find the artifact together. Once you've found it, don't come back. Hide until you can harness the artifact you find. ”
"So, you're going to sacrifice yourself and Orsonhold?" asked Adonis.
