From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 0126 The Boy and the Snake!

After breathing a sigh of relief, the man who sent the message explained: “Sir Veliles arrested the demon hunter who recently came to the White Orchard, and Sir accused the demon hunter of kidnapping the beekeeper’s child!”

Sir will try the demon hunter in the name of the lord this afternoon, and ask all the lords of the White Orchard to go as jury witnesses! ”

…………

White orchard, underground cell.

An unkempt man knelt inside the fence, the ground littered with tattered and rotten hay, emitting a pungent stench.

He was slender and strong, only now his body was exhausted. Visible from the bruises on his face and several wounds, it appears that he had been beaten.

He is a demon hunter, coming from the distant Nifgaard, but not for some political mission, but for his own school: the Viper school.

Demon hunters were once brilliant, they once had countless profound techniques, exquisite alchemy equipment, and amazing school equipment, but with the passage of time, most of these have been lost.

And this demon hunter, he claimed the task of finding the lost equipment blueprints of the school from the school, in the hope that he could create solid enchanted armor and weapons and revitalize the school.

Therefore, he traveled thousands of miles from the south to the north, running through countless places. Most of his task is complete, and the lost drawings have been recovered. Now he plans to find a town to rest a little before returning to his hometown, but he does not expect to encounter the boy missing, and he is involuntarily arrested as a suspect.

In order to safely bring the equipment drawings back to the school, he chose not to conflict with the local nobility, and willingly let his hands be chained and wait for a fair trial.

“Demon hunter, are you still awake? It’s time to eat. ”

A childish voice sounded, greeted with a knock on the bowl.

The man was motionless, his eyes not open, but still responded to the boy’s arrival questioningly:

“Is there still someone so young in the jailer of White Orchard?”

The boy looked at the demon hunter with his eyes closed curiously and said, “I’m not a jailer, I just came to bring you food.” ”

The boy hesitated, and then asked in a slightly expectant tone, “I heard that Ling is a demon hunter, is it true?” ”

The man in the cell chuckled and affirmed, “They arrested me for that.” You may have heard that they accused me of arresting a child, about your age. ”

The boy wrinkled his nose: “That’s Yorkjon, the beekeeper, we played together.” But that’s not what you did, did you? ”

The man’s kneeling body in the cell moved, seemingly not expecting a child to say such a thing. Everyone he met these days thought he was guilty.

“The villagers declared me guilty, and the lords declared me guilty, but you seem to have a different opinion? What makes you think so, kid? ”

The boy bit his lip, put the meal brought for the prisoner on the edge of the cage, hesitated and said:

“I heard a poet’s poem, his name is Dan or something… He is a good storyteller and sings very well. He sang a very powerful warrior called ‘White Wolf’, and he said that he was also a demon hunter! ”

The boy’s voice was very excited, and he looked at the man in the cage: “The demon hunter he said is not like you… Do you also have yellow cat eyes? Can I take a look? ”

The man sitting in the prison frowned, caught off guard by the boy’s request, and even felt ridiculous. He asked:

“Whose kid are you? Your family actually let you in to bring food to prisoners who have not yet been judged. ”

“Cat’s eyes, if you show me cat’s eyes, I’ll tell you!”

The boy had expectant eyes, he seemed to want to witness his little dream come true, but he did not notice the expression of the man in the cage.

The man smiled wickedly: “You said that you have heard poetry, so you think that the demon hunter is not like me?” No, no… I’m a real demon hunter! ”

His eyes widened sharply, and Amber’s eyes suddenly lit up like two rays of fire from the dark cell. Then he bounced up from his kneeling position and approached the edge of the cage, grasping the railing with both hands and glaring at the boy fiercely, his face fierce.

The boy did not react to the movements of the people inside at first, but only felt that the man in front of him flashed in front of his eyes, like a poisonous snake in the forest turned into a black shadow and pounced, and the cold, terrible, and frightening aura enveloped him with his attack.

The man’s eyes are not cute at all the eyes of the village cat, but more like cold-blooded snake pupils without a trace of emotion.

“Ugh!” The boy screamed and fell to the ground, completely forgetting that he could actually be protected by the fence of the cell, and ran out with a roll, shouting for the jailer to come for help, causing a riot.

The snake-eyed man changed back to his expressionless and indifferent appearance after the boy walked away. He crouched on the ground and meticulously picked up the bowl and rice that the boy had knocked over, knelt back to his original place and closed his eyes.

“The life of a demon hunter… It’s not worth aspiring to, it’s not worth worshiping, boy. ”

He whispered.

The boy quickly ran away, and immediately after that, the jailer ran down, shouting and cursing the man in the prison, looking nervous.

“What’s going on, Demon Hunter! What did you do to Leo? ”

The man in the cage was motionless.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, the jailer seemed to cringe a little, but then the jailer immediately laughed wickedly, he remembered that he was a jailer, and the bound hands of the man in the prison gave him courage.

“Ha, demon hunter, do you only bully children? It is said that you are warriors who can fight griffins? I don’t see anything remarkable either. ”

As if to cheer himself up, this skinny, sick jailer devalues the demon hunter, laughs at the demon hunter’s experience of surrendering and being imprisoned without a fight, and laughs at his cowardly personality of not fighting back in the cage.

Finally, the jailer laughed darkly: “I… I’ve always wanted to find a demon hunter to compete well. ”

The jailer took the chains from the torture rack on the side and was about to open the cage, wanting to teach this yellow-eyed monster a good lesson.

At this moment, there was a sudden shout from the top of the stairs, and soon a soldier came down, just to stop the jailer’s next move.

“Sir Veliles wants to see the Demon Hunter, and his trial begins.”

Facing the lord’s guards, the jailer did not straighten up when he bent down, he hurriedly put down the chains in his hand, turned around and opened the demon hunter’s cage, and roughly pulled out the people inside.

Proper inquisitions are only found in large cities, and White Orchards are farming areas with multiple villages. Although it is rich, it certainly does not have a political venue of the level of a courtroom.

So in order to reflect the formality of this trial, Sir Villieres, lord of the White Orchard, deliberately let the beekeepers build sheds and chairs for horse racing at the beekeeping farm in the village of White Orchard – where the “victims” worked.

At this moment, Sir Veliles was sitting on an extra high chair, looking down at the villagers who were constantly gathering towards this side from afar.

This trial was the whim of Sir Villiers, who met a demon hunter he had never seen before. It was also the first time he “brought justice” to his people and the first time he presided over a proper trial, so he valued it very much.

He had his own guards at his side, and there were not many of them, only about ten people. After all, this place is next to the capital of Taymoria, so there is no need to worry too much about safety.

After watching for a while, Sir Veliles said softly, “Butler.” ”

A middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly came up and bent down so that he could hear what Lord Sir was saying.

“The lion of Sintra, that Lord Lannister seems to be in the White Orchard, do you know about this?”

“Yes, sir.” The housekeeper rubbed his big belly, which made him bend over very hard, “Some of the guards in the family seem to have seen them appear in the White Orchard Hotel, probably to meet the king.” ”

Sir Veliles nodded and stretched out his hand. The bartender on the side naturally stepped forward to pour him wine.

“His Majesty Forteste doesn’t seem to want to see him very much.”

“Sir, what do you mean?” The old butler’s forehead sweated slightly, “We… Ignore him? ”

“Idiot!” The Sir of the White Orchard reprimanded, “That’s a count, how can you be so rude!” ”

The butler bent his waist down harder, and the flesh on his stomach was almost squeezed out of oil.

“Let the messenger receive them, but the specifications should not be arranged too high, just according to the viscount… No, the baron’s specifications entertain him. It should be able to convey the meaning for His Majesty, let him go early. ”

“Of course, sir.” The butler praised, “Your wisdom is unmatched, and His Majesty the King will be pleased to have a courtier like you.” ”

Sir Veliles nodded and asked again, “Have the guards gone to gather the lords and passengers?” I want to be a merchant and a bard. ”

The butler replied, “Of course, they are coming towards this side in a steady stream. Travelers will spread your wise and fair trial throughout the North, and your last name will be preceded by the title ‘Justice’ or ‘Love the People as a Son’. ”

Satisfied, Sir Veliles drained his glass of wine, stretched out his hand again, and shouted to the guard beside him as he filled himself with wine: “What about the yellow-eyed freak?” Why haven’t you brought it yet! ”

A guard hurriedly ran over, wiping his sweat while reporting: “Sir, please wait a little longer, we have… They’re coming! ”

Sir Veliles looked towards the line of the guard’s finger and sure enough saw the prisoner he was waiting for.

He then looked down at the villagers present. He had already ordered all the villagers to gather here to witness the trial, and although it was very unpleasant for him not to arrive now, it was enough to satisfy his vanity.
