The Demon Hunter

Cologne thought he would see the passionate embrace of lovers meeting each other, but after Noel got close enough, the first thing Barclay did was to swing his sword at each other.However, the blood race's body turned into a black mist, and the sword slashed through the air. Before he could start his second attack, Noel regrouped his figure almost touching his skin, and inserted his hand into Barclay's body. forehead.

If it was a human being, such an attack would definitely cost him his life.However, Buckley only paused for a moment, and when Noel withdrew his hand, Coloin saw a black stone pinched between his fingers.Barclay shook, black blood slightly overflowed from the wound, and his eyes felt more human.

"Your Majesty?" His voice was very soft and full of doubts, and the next second he passed out, of course, in the arms of that vampire.

It seems that it is not the conflict between the husband and wife, but that the knight has controlled his mind.But now that the problems within their family have been resolved, is it possible to save the lives of those good people who helped them? —Cologne felt that he was about to bleed to death.

It seems that Noel is indeed not a person who does not reciprocate his gratitude. He embraced his unconscious lover with one hand, and waved the other hand lightly. The air stretched and twisted strangely, as if he was holding his lover The necks of several transparent people, and their heads struggled and screamed above his hands.Then Cologne realized that to some extent they were indeed "transparent" people, and those were the souls of those who died.

Noel's hand shook slightly again, Cologne opened his mouth uncontrollably, and the souls scrambled into his throat the next moment.Or more accurately, cologne ate them.This is the first time that Cologne directly devoured the soul with his mouth. Before that, he killed those "things" in the state of transformation, plus the first human he killed about an hour ago—— —Sure enough, the soul can only be devoured when transforming—but that is just a comfortable warm current, nothing else, and now...

It must be admitted that it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten, a strange fragrance permeated his taste buds, but in fact it was not only his tongue, his taste, he also smelled the delicious taste That strange, appetizing sweet taste, and even the music that had never been heard before exploded in his ears, and his whole body was in a high spirits——Cologne had never touched drugs, but he was absolutely sure that the addicts on the earth were floating The feeling is definitely not as wonderful as he is at the moment.

But apart from enjoyment, what Ke Luoyin felt was also fear. He was awake, but struggling like a person in a nightmare.Then he found himself sitting up, the horrible scar on his chest gone.

"Sorry, I didn't know that this was the first time you took the initiative to eat." Noel frowned, and he was very sincere when he said this.

Cologne didn't pay attention to this, he immediately looked at his teammates, he didn't want them to see what he ate just now.Then he breathed a sigh of relief, those few people passed out on the ground, and those blood clans were looking after them.Cologne turned his gaze back to the emperor, but he didn't know how to answer, not even sure whether he should speak.

"Thank you for helping us, demon hunter." The emperor saw Cologne's hesitation, and said in a soft voice.

"You're welcome." Cologne heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that this powerful being who was once a member of the resistance against evil forces and was voluntarily sealed after the war did not have any malice towards him.Uh... sealed?The person in front of me has obviously broken away from the seal, is this okay?

"What is here is just an illusion created by two drops of blood. My body is still waiting in the royal tomb." Cologne grinned. He was a little complacent about being able to transform himself, but now he has decided It's better to be a man with your tail between your legs, "May I ask, your parents..." The emperor didn't specifically ask how the "parents" were, but stopped at this point.

"No, I don't have parents. I was created by a mage with demon blood and other things."

"And what about the mage?"

"He wanted to create an army to rule the world, but was wiped out by the combined army of the church and the local monarchs."

The emperor frowned, and pursed his lips tightly: "You are very similar to an old friend of mine, whether in appearance or the magic power on your body. But how could he..." He only said half a sentence again , he was obviously lost in thought until he was interrupted by Cologne's exclamation.

"That knight!" Barclay, who was embraced by the emperor, his skin and muscles shrank and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a few minutes, he changed from a healthy and strong man to a shriveled and shriveled mummy. !Cologne thought it was someone who cast an ugly spell on him, but the emperor smiled, he let go of the hand supporting him, and the knight opened his eyes at the same time, there were no eyeballs in the eye sockets, only two balls of red The fire of the soul is burning.

"Welcome back, my love." The emperor smiled, cupping the knight's cheek, pressing a tender kiss on his lips.The knight obeyed at first, but then pushed the emperor away violently. He stepped back in a panic while looking for something, and finally picked up a helmet from the ground, put it on his head, and grabbed another bloody helmet. Cloak, when he finally wrapped himself tightly, he stood still with his back to the emperor.

The emperor sighed helplessly, lowered his head and said to Cologne who was full of doubts, "I will send you back to the castle, your companions also need rest and treatment."

Cologne nodded, the next second the sudden gust of wind forced Cologne to close his eyes, the last thing he saw was the black clouds in the sky rolling down.And when he opened his eyes again, they were already sitting in the small square in front of the Darkan Palace.

After that, things became much more uneventful. The others were carried into the palace for treatment. In the evening, Evan and their luggage left in the woods were also brought back.Alexander said that everything has returned to normal, and the cleaning of the imperial tomb will start again in a few days. They do not need to participate, but there will still be a generous reward.It's not just about money, Cologne and Lance finally have the same number of hunts this year, and in fact half of next year's hunts will be completed.

A few people seem to just need to eat, drink and have fun for a few days, or just eat, drink and have fun until next year, and then go on the road again.

Of course, there are still many doubts about what happened this time, but Ansel said, "We only need to find people, and we don't need to know why they were lost." There is no benefit to personal safety.

However, it is an exception for the person concerned to come to answer his questions automatically.

On the third night after returning to the capital, a servant came to invite Cologne.This is a common thing these days, and Alexander often invites them to various entertainment occasions.But when he arrived at a gazebo in a garden, what he saw was indeed the emperor, but it was the emperor of the blood race. Standing beside him was the Barclay knight, who was no longer a mummy, although he looked slightly Pale, but really fleshy, and obviously in a good mood, with a soft smile on his face.

"Please sit down, Coloin." The emperor smiled and motioned to Coloin. Barclay's luggage turned to leave, but the emperor held his hand, "Stay here." The voice was as gentle and soft as catkins, just simple. The incomparable sentence made Ke Luoyin, an outsider, feel hot on his face.

Barclay paused, and quickly glanced at Cologne, who immediately turned his head and pretended not to notice anything, then Cologne heard a loud sound—the sound of a slap on the flesh—when When he turned his head around again, the emperor changed from his mysterious and powerful image to a helpless and doting family image, and rubbed his chin in a ridiculous way, watching the knight's back.

"I think you have a lot of questions, Cologne." When the knight stood still, looking like a guard, the emperor finally turned his attention back, "I will answer some of them, and I don't know the rest , and even I will ask you more questions."

The emperor didn't say much about other irrelevant things, but quickly got to the point.

First of all, it is about why Barclay was hijacked without anyone noticing. This is due to the emperor himself. Alexander once said that his descendants are all people who committed serious crimes, so it is natural that these descendants Because of the inheritance of the blood lineage, they cannot openly oppose anything, but this does not mean that they will not harbor resentment and want to do some small tricks, especially when some outsiders cooperate with them.

At the same time, there are also Barclay's own reasons. He is an undead knight, not a blood race, and in the well-known undead race, few branches have "human appearance".The undead knights are not an exception. Because of their obsession, they allow their souls to reside on the earth and drive their dead bodies. As a result, they turn into that mummy-like appearance. Barclay just wanted to stay by Noel's side. the price paid.

The vampires are undead with human appearance, and even they still maintain human desires, as powerful as Noel, almost no different from human beings.

So for Barclay, he could look at him, hear his voice, and feel his breath, but he couldn't hug him, and even Barclay didn't dare to take off his helmet and give his lover a kiss.

During the years when he became a ghost knight, it was not like the outside world imagined that people who loved each other lived happily together. At least for Barclay, it was a painful torture-in fact, there was a time when Barclay took the initiative to take off the knight. Mask, but it was to make Noel hate his ugliness, and soon Buckley realized that it was cowardly and despicable to do so. He couldn't make up his mind to leave, so he wanted his lover to be the betrayer.Especially every time Noel looked at him, there was no disgust, only guilt.

Then some of Noor's descendants showed up - someone gave him something that allowed him to betray to a certain extent without Nour noticing - and suggested that he might have a way to regenerate Barclay's flesh and blood.Barclay believed it, and as a knight, he didn't know much about magic, whether in life or after death. As a result, the black crystal did regenerate his body, but it also made him fall into the control of others.

In other words, the reason why no one found out that he was hijacked was because he walked out by himself under control.

"No matter what these people do, in fact, I still have to thank them." Noel smiled, "Interesting technology." It seems that His Majesty has perfectly removed the control part of the black crystal, and only allowed Barclay to successfully obtain it. flesh.

"Then you don't know about Ice Hell?"

"I have never heard of it, otherwise I must be on the way to thank them now." Noel shook his head, "And I am sure that this matter has nothing to do with hell or most necromancers. However, I contacted some of my friends later Take a look, we found that there have been frequent disappearances in recent years. Of course, in most parts of the world, it is not uncommon for one or two people to disappear. However, if the disappearances are all strong, intelligent, Someone strong-willed, at least youthful in appearance, full of charm, and someone who occupies a place in legend, is a bit eccentric."

Ke Luoyin frowned, remembering that the man who had become his food once said "incidental prey", not boasting, except that he did not appear in the legend, the others should still be up to the standard.

"Why are you telling me so much?"

"Because of your blood, or the source of your demonic part." Noel looked at him, "As a vampire, you can't mistake the smell of blood. Your blood father must be my old friend and the savior of mankind. One of the Seven Heroes, Elvis."

"The Seven Heroes...are there demons?"

"Actually, they are the Seven Heroes, rather than the only savior. In the big drama, only Ivis was the protagonist, and the others were just supporting roles. Ivis is not a pure devil, he is a half-breed, and he is also like this." The world's first real demon hunter." The emperor pointed at Cologne's chest, "Don't take it too seriously, the mark is actually just a simple contract, expressing your willingness to hunt demons at the cost, In exchange for a life among ordinary people."

"That is to say, I can't hunt enough every year, and my heart won't be burnt to coke?"

"It depends on the ability." Noel shrugged, and Coloin felt that his answer was a bit irresponsible, "If you are strong enough, you can resist the power of the seal. When it doesn't exist, and you are not strong enough..."

"So I'd better hunt honestly."

Noel smiled: "Don't be so uninformative to yourself. After all, Ives is the one who gave you blood, but it is true that you are completely untrained and don't know how to manipulate your abilities. Follow your instinct, little guy, You were able to draw with Barclay a few days ago, which is enough to be praised."

"Thank you."

"Let's turn back to the topic just now. If it wasn't for you and Barclay, we haven't found out yet, and Elvis is also missing. It's hard to imagine anyone would dare to harm him."

"Because he is strong?"

"No, it's not just how strong or weak an individual is, but... because of him, the devil retreated to hell."

"You don't mean to say that if something happens to him, the devil will come back?"

"That's what I mean. I can't tell you the specific reason, because it's a secret of a group of old men." Cologne looked at the young and handsome face of the emperor, and was a little speechless about the old man's self-proclaimed name, "But the devil There is actually a special connection between his blood relatives, so I hope you can find him. Of course, he must not be in a safe environment, so please let me know if you have any news. "

The emperor handed Cologne an armband. It was made of sterling silver without any patterns. Many men in this world would wear this kind of decoration, absolutely inconspicuous.

"Touch the armband, call my name, and I'll connect with you."

"Aren't you afraid that I will use it at will?"

"You are a smart man, Cologne. It was a pleasure talking to you, goodbye." Noel smiled, he stood up, and walked towards Barclay, the two of them were wrapped in a pure black cloak, and then they turned into fog, Disappeared, leaving Cologne with the armband...
