C20 Discussion Plans

"Rocher is a man's name." Shire said, "I had some misunderstandings earlier."

"The name is just a codename. The land of Yin Yu Castle is barren. I have no fate with embroidery and silk for my entire life." She was taller than many men.

"I like a noble and strong soul." Gradiu commented, "They are chewy when they are eaten. Even if they are not eaten, they will affect it. It is very interesting to watch it slowly break free from its shackles and embrace its true self."

"You mean 'filthy corruption'." Shire responded in his heart.

"According to your standards, that mortal has been selfish and filthy since he was born, and the so-called honest and diligent nature that he has developed after birth is actually a distortion of human nature. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a joke. "

Shire sat on the chair. The wood was very hard and uncomfortable.

"I have a mission." Rocher said, "Lord Reney asked me to eliminate the Winged Devil as soon as possible. Regarding this goal, If you support it, we can cooperate. If you oppose it, I will imprison you. If you remain neutral, I will temporarily restrict your freedom. Wait until we resolve this problem before letting you leave. With the Winged Devil, it had caused a huge problem in the territory. If someone else secretly destroys us now, we might lose control of the situation."

There was a Winged Devil!

... "Actually, I'm a Devil Hunter." Since Rocher had already explained everything clearly, there was no need for Shire to continue hiding his identity. He liked people like Rocher who spoke concisely and clearly.

"Devil Hunter." Rocher thought about the meaning behind this word and the meaning behind it. "The devil escaped from your holy palace. It was during the day, and many residents saw it."

"I don't know the specific situation, but I heard that there were devils wreaking havoc, so I rushed back to Gray Tree Hall."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Holy Church is being managed by Frederick. He is the Hunter Master of Upper Lawman."

"Master Frederick died in battle." Shire sighed, "Not only him, but also many other people."

"Please allow me to mourn for him for a short time. We live in a city, but we have never met. Even so, I've still heard of many of his deeds... He gave up on the inheritance of his property and would rather give up his life to fight with the devil. His death is a huge loss to this world. " She lowered her head, silently praying.

Shire did the same. Her demeanor was worth learning.

He whispered in his heart: "God of the sky, lord Edward, if you really exist, please bless Frederick's soul and let him enter rebirth safely, as well as other people..."

"Boring! False believers!" Gradiu shouted, "What do you mean by 'if you really exist'? If you suspect that a god still doesn't exist, you shouldn't have believed it!"

"Why? I really don't know if a god exists. If God exists, I should use lightning to destroy you"

" Oh, terrifying child, you're only seventeen years old, yet you're already thinking of borrowing supernatural power to attack a demon who's obedient. " Gradiu kept muttering, "By the way, Frederick's soul has already been eaten by me. I will treat him well in my stomach."

Rocher ended his mourning for Frederick.

Shire felt lucky. He did not have to spend time arguing with the devil. He could focus on the matters in the real world.

"Obviously, because of the Winged Devil escaping from your holy palace, as a member of the Devil Hunter, you have the absolute responsibility to help us destroy it." Rocher said.

"Yes, I need to know about it, so that I can increase the chances of defeating it."

"'There's a Winged Devil' is a vague name we use to call it. It's named according to a few of its characteristics. Obviously, It has a pair of powerful wings that can fly in the sky. It was taller than ordinary birds. Secondly, it was very greedy. It had a huge appetite, attacking livestock and pedestrians day and night. So far, at least thirty-nine people had died. There are also countless animals, the scene of it eating is extremely bloody... The innocent people who had been driven crazy by the illusion of seeing the devil... They became frantic, anxious, and kept slapping their arms. They were flying. At the same time, if what the court wizards said was true, the demons had also absorbed the souls of the victims, so that they could become stronger. As a Devil Hunter, you... You should know better than I do."

"I understand." Shire sighed worriedly. Being able to affect the minds of other mortals and absorb their souls was a typical characteristic of devils. If it was the same as Gradiu, it could also use illusions, create puppets, and other evil abilities, making it even more difficult to deal with.

"Gray Tree Hall is the territory of the respected Count Alberta, the Count is fair and generous. He is dedicated to protecting his people, ever since he received the news, he sighed in sorrow and did not think about eating or drinking. As a vassal of the Count, When I received the order, I did not hesitate to go through fire and water." Rocher said. It was really strange. When these pompous words entered her mouth, they actually seemed rather formal and solemn.

"The Count's reputation isn't very good" Shire euphemistically said that the other Devil Hunter described the Lord as a pig that walked on two legs.

"Even if the Lord Count is my lord, when I describe his character, out of respect for honesty, I will not beautify him. Indeed. The Count's temperament is rigid and incomparably greedy. However, the Count was well versed in the ways of using people. When the demons wreak havoc, he immediately summons me to end this chaos. Even though he felt that he was exaggerating, under such circumstances, I am indeed the best and most suitable candidate. This is enough to prove... Lord Reney was absolutely qualified to rule the Gray Tree Hall. " Rocher's eyes revealed her strong ambition.

However, the Roman tradition prevented women from advancing in the feudal system. Shire did not know what kind of pressure and trouble she had to bear.

"I agree." Shire nodded.

"In order to avoid any misunderstandings, I also need to clarify some facts. Our Lord... Although Count Reney Alberta was stingy, if someone performed well enough... If someone performed well enough, the Count would definitely promote them... He would award them with honor and wealth that matched their abilities. Without a doubt, if you show enough talent, I will pass on your deeds to the Count, allowing you to obtain a higher status than what you have now."

Hearing these promises, Shire was somewhat moved. "Let's discuss the matter of hunting devils."

"There is no need for that."

Rocher's answer stunned Shire.

No need? What did this mean? Why shouldn't they talk about how to kill demons? How to approach it, attack it, destroy it, and finally end this chaos. Was this not worth discussing?

"There is no need to discuss? Then how should we deal with it?" Shire said urgently.

"I don't know your name yet."

"I am Shire."

"The man nodded. Very good, sir Shire. Before you appeared, the first thing we did when we encountered a Winged Devil was to pay a visit to Hunter Palace and seek help. However, no one answered. " Rocher said.

Of course, no one answered. It would be a ghost if there was a response. All eight hunters in the Upper Lawman had gathered in the Twilight Forest to hunt for the Bladeblade Devil. Why would there be someone else in the Holy Church?

"We are all on a mission."

"Yes, the Devil Hunter are busy carrying out missions. In the territory, there is an Evil Demon attacking the village from high up, causing panic. We cannot afford to wait for the hunters to return. Thus, we had reached an agreement with the others. Before you appeared, we had already established a highly efficient team. What you need to do is cooperate with us "

"Cooperate?" Shire found it unbelievable,... "Other than the Devil Hunter, who else knows how to fight the Evil Devils?"

"You will see." Rocher stood up and ordered the soldiers outside, "Invite Mr. Teibout over."

Only the Devil Hunter knew how to hunt devils. This was what Etienne had told Shire a long time ago, and it was also an unshakable belief in his heart. If there was someone else who could fight the devils, Shire would find it hard to accept.

If they didn't need me, they wouldn't need the Devil Hunter... What should I do?

Waiting made him anxious. Fortunately, footsteps soon approached the tent and a person came in.

"Sir, you are looking for me?" Shire saw a man with a medium hairstyle, red hair, blue eyes, and a soft beard. He had a faint smile on his face and his attitude was not very serious. "You have a guest?" The other party also noticed Shire.

"Yes, Teibout. This is Shire, Devil Hunter."

Upon hearing the concept of "Devil Hunter," Teibout's face sank. He frowned and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked at Shire and relaxed again.

"Oh, it's a Devil Hunter. That's amazing." He deliberately dragged out his voice and said in a very annoying tone, "It's amazing. The legendary Devil Hunter specializes in hunting devils for a living. It must be very professional."

The more Shire heard, the more uncomfortable he felt. He pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

"Look at this look. Look." Teibout said disdainfully, "It seems like I am a monster. If this child makes a move later, adults, you have to watch over me."

"There is no need to worry. I believe that Shire is loyal to the grand cause of fighting the devil."

"Alright." The disgusting smile on Teibout's face disappeared, and was replaced by an even more annoying pretense.

"Shire, as you can see, we have hired an experienced Mr. Teibout. He came from the Fan Shan region and brought his mercenaries to provide us with advanced tools to hunt demons." Rocher explained.

"Demons can't be defeated with tools." Shire couldn't help but say.

"Are you serious?" Teibout coldly snorted, "It's not a tool, it's a war machine, the ruler of war."

"Don't mind it. Some things are hard to recognize if you don't see it with your own eyes." Rocher said.

"Yes, that's the reason, master Rocher." Teibout greeted Rocher, then turned to Shire and said, "Then let's go. I will bring you to see what true power is. After you have seen it, you will know how superficial your previous understanding is."

Shire's face turned stiff. He wanted to know what gave them such confidence.
