The Laws of Werewolf Hunting

Chapter 23 Creighton's Secret
Clayton said: "I used to be a royalist in the army, but in fact, I hate the royal family."

As a member of the Torrent Guard directly under the Crown, whatever his personal wishes, his position condemns him to a gun in the hands of the Royalists.

The Kingdom of Dorne did not evolve into a republic like Merenti and Terrells,
In order to maintain the status quo and safeguard the royal power, the country also has a lot of civil wars, and the various parties are still secretly competing.

However, the ghost shook his head and said: "It sounds important, but it's not a big secret. Because it can't change anything even if you say it at the time. There are many people like you, so it's just a personal idea. The reason why the secret is kept It is called a secret because it has the need to keep it secret, and once it is spoken, it will change the life."

Clayton raised his head, thoughtful: "Maybe, then let me say something else."

"Before I came to Sasha City, I was a veteran who participated in the entire Loren War. After the war, I and the troops were on the occasion of the victory parade in the capital Yaxin City. The royal family sent a banquet through my officer The invitation card was signed by Queen Ursula I herself. I said I was sick and did not accept the invitation, but in fact I pretended to be sick that time so that I would not have to see the queen. In the end, I don’t know why she invited me.”

The ghost evaluator was also stunned: "This secret is really amazing, and you are really an amazing person, do you need me to remind you what kind of opportunity you missed?"

"Please tell me, I'm also curious about how my immediate boss will look amused when he hears that I'm sick."

"You missed the awarding ceremony. In the past, the king sometimes selected warriors who made military exploits to participate in the banquet, and then awarded them the title of knight nobility, leading them to know the truth of the world. But it will not be explained in the invitation in advance. This It’s an unspoken rule. They will invite more than one warrior, and then select the strongest and most tenacious loyal man on the spot to give the sword. If you ask for sick leave and refuse the invitation, it is tantamount to stating that you do not meet those conditions, and this is also a disservice to Ursula I. humiliation, you no longer have the possibility of hunting for the title."

Specter doesn't care about titles and honors. For his current state of losing most of his sensory organs, the only thing that can make him feel happy is the moment when his thirst for knowledge is satisfied.

But for ordinary people, those things are still very tempting.

He was very curious about Clayton's reaction after knowing the result.

"It sounds like there is no need to accept the appointment." Clayton's reaction was very flat.

"Seeing Her Majesty's words with my own eyes, I might spit out in disgust, and it might be worse than now."

"You think she's ugly?" asked the ghost.

Clayton spread his hands: "There is her face on the banknote. I can't deny the fact that Her Majesty is beautiful because of emotions. But she is a liar. Because of her, many people died in the pursuit of false glory. It just so happens that I'm on good terms with some of these idiots."

"I understand."

"I have one more question. Not sure if my secret is enough to pay."

Phantom is very tolerant this time: "I support credit here. If your secret value is not enough, you can collect more later."

"The Holy Grail has sent some darkin-looking people, but they are definitely not darkin. They look tortured. How did the Holy Grail make them look like that?"

Clayton couldn't forget the deformed watchers,
Although they are ordered to watch over themselves, it is not loyalty that drives them, but some secret pain.

"The value of this information is not high, I think you can afford it." The voice of the ghost evaluator was full of emotion: "That is the secret technique of the Holy Grail Order, they call it the blood of desire."

"Since the departure of the dark moon in the old era, the Holy Grail prophet Xililu was expelled from the Faliyamas by the Hall of the King of Law. research data."

"At that time, in order to refute the viewpoint of "reproductive isolation" by the author of "Theory of Species", the Inquisition of Heresy used a rather cruel method to conduct research, trying to deny the impurity of human beings, and arrested many people with clear identities as The dark descendants transformed by human beings, and some human beings who were only transformed into half because of the departure of the dark moon, the prisoners who were admitted to be the heinous criminals extracted from heavy prisons, and even abandoned babies from various countries were secretly collected for research.”

"They repeatedly experimented with the process of transforming the darkborn, and indeed obtained some disturbing results. Some priests were shaken in their beliefs and began to think that their experiment was a cruel massacre. Therefore, the concept was inevitably adopted by the Holy Grail Society for the source of wisdom and life. Attracted by an explanation different from the mainstream of the King’s Hall, they defected with their research results.”

Ghost's tone was flat, and he didn't condemn these things, nor did he accuse the ignorance of his predecessors.

He was just recounting that period of history:
"The blood of desire is one of the research results of those transformation experiments. It is the closest to success, but it can't create real darkborn, it can only create those half-humans that are not recognized by both parties. This is why the Holy Grail Society later One of the reasons for the loss of status among the Darkin. However, some people still find this technology profitable, so they are still studying this secret technique.”

Recalling the look in Harpy's eyes, Clayton was finally able to understand her.

The Holy Grail will create these monsters to do things for itself, and the reward is probably to completely restore them to humans or completely turn them into dark descendants.

However, judging by his experience, neither of these two kinds of rewards is likely to be realized.

Perhaps the harpy girl also noticed this, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she hoped that she would shoot to understand her.

"It's your turn," the ghost urged.

Clayton came back to his senses and cleared his throat. He knew that he had to pay for the information himself, but he still felt a little ashamed to say the following secret:
"In the face-to-face battle with the Towton Knights, I actually never won. The only one-on-one duel was almost pierced by the opponent in the heart, and I didn't win in the end. But the onlookers all boasted that I won, There were too many rumors later, and I was even promoted to an official."

When he served in Loren, he always considered himself a master of spear and saber,
It wasn't until he was instigated by another drunk after being drunk in a tavern that he took a horse and brought a few drunks to the front of Towton's cavalry battalion in a daze, but the other party actually sent a knight to challenge him.
The ghost asked him curiously: "You are a sealed person, that is to say, your physical fitness was still human at that time, and at most it was only a little bit higher."

Before the appearance of the hunters, the knights of Taunton were the only extraordinary units that had been established on the battlefields of various countries.

It's not that there is a lack of supernatural beings in other countries, but that on the battlefield where guns and cannons are popular, very few superhumans are willing to play in person.

Compared with their life-threatening battles, most superhumans hope to let ordinary people be soldiers to gain benefits in the colonies, while they themselves use the advantages of superhumans to redistribute resources in an environment where guns are prohibited in the country.

Taunton's special situation is related to their country's traditional mercenary culture and cannot be copied.

Clayton Bello was able to duel with their knights as an ordinary person and survived, which is actually a very remarkable thing.

"Yes, and at that time we didn't ride horses, we just fought in close quarters. My opponent wore iron armor that day, while mine was cotton armor." Clayton remembered that scene after he woke up. The duel didn't seem fair either.

"I want to know how you survived." The ghost asked with interest.

"In fact, because it was Creation Day during that time, our two sides agreed to a truce for the holiday, so those Totonians were actually quite drunk during the celebration, but it doesn't mean that they will keep their hands in the duel because of this. I I lost badly, my opponent was much faster and better than me. After a few rounds, he pierced my cotton armor and the water bottle inside my clothes with a spear, and the spear head broke inside , I bled profusely, and of course I swung the spear at him a few times, but he parried them with the rest of his parry, and I don't remember what happened after that, but the duel gradually turned into a wrestling."

The werewolf painfully recalled that experience: "My opponent's skills were not as good as mine, but he was very strong. I was taught a lesson by him enough to fall back and forth on the ground. When I finally found a chance to suppress him, my stomach hurt. But I couldn't help it. I vomited on his face, and he was suffocating in the helmet. Until I recovered, he was still trying to take off the helmet, and clean the air vents and the position of the window. I didn't have time to punch him a few times, and the surrounding People divide us."

"My opponent was unconscious that day because he couldn't breathe, and I spent the festival with the nurses in the field hospital because of bleeding and broken bones."

"There was no winner in that duel," Clayton said solemnly.

Later, when he reunited with the Towton cavalry on the battlefield, he had already become a small officer who could lead 30 men. Under his leadership, his men did not plan to approach the group of monsters wearing armor, including men and horses. tactics, they struggled to win by other means.The same goes for other cavalry units.

He preferred to call himself an expert on projectiles now than on spears and sabers.

　There was a problem with the computer. Fortunately, I caught up. There is another update tonight.
