The Demon Hunter

"The tomb is the name of the place where the powerful undead creatures are sealed. There are hundreds of places recorded on the ground, and those tombs that are too remote, inhabited and dangerous, I heard that there are also hundreds of places like this. And these sealed undead will exude a strong breath of death themselves, they will not disperse, polluting the earth and humans and animals, and among them the more powerful ones can even summon death warriors directly from the soil, from the air Construct a vengeful evil spirit," said the man.

Cologne, who was listening next to him, felt that it was probably the power of those undead to reorganize the calcium in the soil and repair the broken souls in the air.However, the book did not describe the sealed undead as so powerful, perhaps because they were afraid that ordinary people would be frightened, or those with ulterior motives wanted to possess the power of those undead.

"The emperor here is such a powerful person, but there is a little difference, because he was sealed voluntarily at the beginning. So he will not deliberately stimulate his power, and then appear around his tomb Those undead spirits are only triggered by unconsciousness. In comparison, they are not many and not strong. That's why we need you demon hunters to come and wipe them out after ten years of sealing. "

"It sounds like you still want us to wipe it out?" Ansel raised his eyebrows.

"It's not just that I don't want it. In fact, no one in Darkan wants it, except the church. In the end, it has been proved that we are right. Inviting you to come will only cause trouble."

"Really? But I remember that what you meant at the beginning should be, please help us solve the trouble." Ansel put his hands on his shoulders and smirked with his mouth crooked.

The man bit his lip: "I apologize for the slip of the tongue just now."

"It's okay, it's okay, I forgive you very much."

"Thank you." The man's face was tense, and his breathing became heavy, obviously holding back his anger.Cologne, Evan and even Lance all looked at the triumphant Ansel. This guy's bad temper and foul mouth would get him into big trouble one day.

The man probably adjusted himself, and he continued, "Your Majesty Noel—the emperor of the blood race—was indeed an emperor, and he was also the monarch of Darkan. A long time ago, he was used by a necromancer with his soul Cursed viciously, he became a bloodthirsty and powerful vampire. But we were lucky, because he had a mate, one who could save him from madness with his own love. So, during the reign of Noel , that is, during the bloody period of demons and undead that swept the entire world, Darkan not only was not overthrown, but maintained prosperity and continuation. Until the end of the war, His Majesty Noel was sealed voluntarily."

The man is very proud, but this is indeed something he should be proud of.Because the initial plan of the necromancers to subvert the earth was aimed at the past and their successors of many great powers at that time, countless once wise monarchs lost themselves after being cursed into various undead creatures, or more accurately To put it bluntly speaking, the only one who has become a necromancer but maintains his humanity, and still performs his duties as a monarch, is their blood emperor Noel—of course, this is actually related to the acceptance of the ministers of various countries, not everyone can Accepting one's own monarch is an anomaly, so this miracle is also thanks to the loyalty of the Darkans, almost weird loyalty.

"You don't mean the dead knight you asked us to find..."

"Lord Barclay, the partner of His Majesty Noel, he is missing, and we have reason to believe that some demon hunters broke into the tomb and kidnapped him using tricks. Your task is to find him, otherwise, there will be no Lord Barclay Comfort Your Majesty Noel, believe me, that is definitely the second disaster that nearly wiped out the world. Moreover, we will stand by His Majesty Noel, even if we are human beings."

Noel has only been sealed for ten years, and this man was still in his 20s ten years ago. It is believed that there are other people who hold power in Darkan at this stage, all of whom are old courtiers of Noel.And from what they said, it seems that they were not happy about Noel being sealed in the first place—maybe it was just a king who was always wise, wise, powerful, and possibly handsome to them.Ke Luoyin, who was thinking this way, actually felt that it was a good decision to have a blood emperor. After all, a country guarded by an immortal, wise and dictatorial monarch is definitely much better than a country ruled by a group of democratic stupid officials. The monarch can cut off the head of some animals without hesitation.Of course, this is Cologne's personal opinion.

"But I have another question. Since it was the demon hunter who captured your former queen..."

"There are no such parasites who can gain wealth, status, and power by procreation. Lord Barclay is a brave warrior, an outstanding general, and your Majesty's companion."

"Okay, General Barclay, but in that case, why did you send us demon hunters to find him?"

"Because His Majesty Noel doesn't trust us." The man finally became less arrogant, and he lowered his head in frustration, "Because we have always hoped that His Majesty Noel will regain the throne for the past ten years, so Your Majesty suspects that among us Some people planned this incident. Of course he doesn’t trust those demon hunters who came before. It just so happens that you are here, you just arrived today, and have nothing to do with this incident, so I think His Majesty can trust you Of course, we Darkan will fully cooperate with you."

"This... I want to ask, your current majesty, what is it... hiss!" Ansel's foot was trampled on. Get used to it and love it.How could such a question between the former emperor who was extremely popular with the people and the current emperor be asked so blatantly?They are just small people, and if they are noticed by some high-ranking people in Darkan, they will be dead.

The man smiled: "This is indeed a very important question. Then, let me introduce myself, Alexander III, the current emperor of Darkan."

"..."

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty." Lance was the first to react. He knelt down on one knee and kissed the ruby ​​ring on Alexander's finger—or this is not a reaction, but a common thing he learned Tell him that he should do this when he sees the emperor, so he does it.And set an example for other team members who were at a loss because of surprise, including the female knight Lucy.

"Then, now that you already know our determination, and you only have ten days to find Lord Barclay, if the time limit is exceeded, His Majesty Noel's patience will run out, and at that time you will also be honored guests from Darkan." , became the earliest sacrifice."

"No, we can still choose to do nothing and leave now." Ansel frowned, and it seemed that after the other party became the lord of a country, he felt more disgusted with him, even though he saluted according to the etiquette respect.

"Do you think you can really do it?" Alexander asked back.

"We want clues." Cologne interrupted suddenly. They really had no choice, and they couldn't let Ansel continue bickering with each other and waste time.

"Of course." Alexander nodded, "We will rush to the imperial mausoleum as quickly as possible." Next, they felt that something was wrong with the carriage. It was going up, but from the window, they were indeed going up. pegasus in.

After sitting in the car for two hours, the first thing they did when they got out of the car was... to find a bush to settle the inventory in their stomachs—including the emperor, but because he was there, they still enjoyed it. The curtain raised by soldiers...

Then they changed horses and walked for about a quarter of an hour, bypassing a high mountain, and the imperial mausoleum appeared in front of them, but it looked more like a castle hidden in the mist.The cold breath came to the face, not because of the effect of the heart, but the real cold. Frost even formed on Cologne's coat, and the horse's snort could also see the obvious water mist.

They did not move on, Alexander ordered one of his men to release magic fireworks, about 5 minutes, a person came out of the fog, at least it looked like a person, he was wearing a gray robe with a hood, covering himself to the feet.

"They only came here this morning. Before that, they knew nothing about Darkan, His Majesty Noel and Lord Barclay. They are the most neutral people, and we can trust them."

"Trust their neutrality, but you can't trust their abilities." The other party spoke, with a very neutral voice, completely unrecognizable as male or female, "But it seems that they are the last choice. Are you here to find clues?"

"Yeah." Ansel said weakly.

"Then come in with me. By the way, my name is Knight, Lich." A gust of wind blew, and several people in the team shivered...

When they were about to walk into the fog, Ansel blocked Lucy: "I don't think this is in our agreement."

"Don't let me kick your balls, Ansel. You don't want to leave me when you find a better deal. Gaining the friendship of an emperor is much better than following a group of people to smash a bunch of skeletons .”

So in the end Lucy stayed in the team, because Ansel really didn't want her balls to be kicked into pieces.

"Damn it." He sighed, having a headache because all of his team wrote about problem children.
