Chapter 229: The Swordsman
"Ah!!h Around half past six in the morning, a terrible scream broke the silence of the temple.
The attendant who was guarding near the source of the sound changed his face and hurried to the scene.
Seeing Beric and several of his members of the opposite sex dead in the bedroom bed, they urgently called the Estes who were stationed around the Great Temple and had not slept all night.
"Have you already got it... Abominable night raids. Seleuc was unwilling, obviously they were on guard all night, but they were still taken advantage of.
Estes watched the scene of death for a long time, dismissing everyone in the room, and she had a habit of dismantling the dead and analyzing the causes and characteristics of their deaths.
"The target is dead, and it's time for us to go back to our lives." One of the four Rakshasas, the tall man Thorn didn't care about Berik's death at all, and laughed strangely.
"It's a pity, I still want to free their souls." Zhu Tian, a middle-aged strong man with a lush beard but a bald head, said.
"Can you go back to the imperial capital, it's so good~" The lively girl stretched her body vigorously with her horse head.
"I haven't found any suspects near the Great Temple, is there any secret passage leading here?" Lan ignored the conversation and thought hard.
After a while, Estes walked out of the room, his uniform already stained with blood: "Let's go back, hunter." ”
Even she hadn't been able to find anything strange from the corpse.
"It's... Captain. Lan came back to his senses and nodded.
"Captain, those people's bodies should be used to feed Coco." Seleuc asked, glancing inside the room.
"Well, no problem."
Xiao Ke, who was affirmed, had a cute smile on his face, followed Sai Leu into the room, and solved the "food" in front of him by dividing it by two.
"Hey, General Estes." Seeing that the three of them were about to leave, Thorn hurriedly shouted to stop them, with a trademark smile on his face, and slowly proposed: "We also want to return to the imperial capital, I don't know if we can join you..."
Estes tactical hesitation: "... If you want to come, just follow along. ”
She didn't care how many people there were, not to mention that these guys were still the minister's personal executioners, and there was no problem with their identity.
"Very well, let's go, go see the minister." Thorn turned back to his companion.
The group took the special danger species when they came, and when they slowly rushed back to the imperial capital, it was just lunchtime.
The Rakshasa Demons separated from Estes and decided to meet with the minister before enjoying a delicious meal.
As for the three Estes, after separating from them, they got a sad news.
The remaining hunters, with the exception of Black Hitomi, who resisted bullets and Will who fell into a coma, died tragically.
However, although Black Hitomi resisted the bullet and was lucky to survive, her current situation is very unoptimistic, and she is at risk of death at any time.
The three people who heard the news were all shocked and quickly rushed to the place where the body was stored.
Looking at the two corpses covered with white cloth in the room, Lan couldn't believe it, he was still together yesterday, but he was lying here today.
Seleuc stiffened and stepped forward, gently uncovering the white cloth covering the fashionable head, and saw the miserable white face, the nose was slightly sore, and tears were rolling in her eyes, she tried not to let the tears fall, and covered the white cloth back.
Then they went to the infirmary, visited the two of them, and talked to the doctor about their specific conditions......
……
"Really... How can a hunter fail so simply..."Earnest bites the meat: "The stress has caused me to gain weight again. ”
"You've eaten too much, Dad!" The young man crossed Erlang's legs and laughed at Ornest.
"Because the souvenirs are delicious." Earnest chewed the meat and said vaguely, "Let the lovely son embark on a journey... That's why I'm sending you outside the territory of the Empire. ”
"But when I came back, it was so powerful." "I'm so happy, Shira. ”
"I've traveled all over the world." Sheila said, "And sure enough, our empire is very advanced. The southern archipelago or the northern tundra are too rural. Not even a gun. ”
"If you want to say that the civilization second only to the empire, or the Western Kingdom is the most advanced, right?"
"Well, they have alchemy.
It's a unique culture like art, and it's very interesting. The only regret... It's just that there's no way to set foot on the island country that claims to be untouched land. "The currents there are abnormal, and they are not suitable for ordinary boats to pass through.
"The end of the East China Sea is an uncharted territory, and it is common to have no choice." Earnest wiped his lips.
"However, I did accomplish the task of the journey you asked me to accomplish, and I did achieve it by recruiting useful talents, Dad."
"Oh?" Earnest was surprised.
"Go and see how strong they are, definitely stronger than that hunter." Shira said.
"Interesting, then go check it out." Earnest got up, and Sheila led the way, opened the door, and happened to bump into the returning Rakshasa Four.
"Report to you, Chancellor." When the four ghosts saw Earnest come out, they half-knelt on the ground and acted as courtiers.
"......" Earnest saw the four people returning, and instantly understood what was happening over there, protecting the target to die...
"I'm so sorry," Thorn said apologetically.
Earnest waved his hand and passed over a few people: "You guys should also come and take a look, the strong man of the foreign country, so that you can evaluate it." "In the case of Estes, if the protection target can still die, then the other party must have something extraordinary.
"It's... Appreciate. The four of them spoke in unison and followed behind the two.
"It's... Rakshasa four ghosts. Sheila asked as she walked, "It's really powerful, you can be so powerful without relying on the emperor." ”
"However, human beings are human beings after all, and the physical body still has a limit after all."
Keep smiling on her thorny face, her eyes narrowing slightly, and don't answer.
Under the guidance of Sheila, the group went to the viewing seat of the Imperial Training Ground, and Sheila shouted to the death row prisoners below: "Hey! If you continue like this, it seems that all of you will be sentenced to death! So, do you want to play a game?! ”
After speaking, several men and women wearing hooded capes and capes in the same style walked into the training ground.
"Whoever can win those five people will not only be acquitted, but also have a huge bounty to be gained!" Sheila followed the temptation: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you go together. ”
"Uh... Hey, want to be on? A condemned prisoner asked people around him.
"Of course, it's a dead end anyway." A man drew his sword: "Go up together and kill them." ”
"Oh? Motivated, your approach is really effective. Earnest said slowly: "Let the condemned prisoners see the hope of acquittal, and tempt them to make up their minds." It is a means often used to train assassins. To be tested in battle, this trick is also the most effective. ”
The five people below ripped off their cloaks, revealing their figures, and a man with the appearance of a samurai drew his sword and took a step forward.
"His name is Ezang, and he is a swordsman who loves swords and becomes demons, and constantly forges swords with blood. @*~~”。
