Summoning the Holy Sword

"real or fake?"

Hearing Saul's words, his companions couldn't care more about what to say. They hurried around and stared at the letter in Saul's hands. In the face of his companion's inquiry, Saul shook his head in confusion. Even the oldest and steady man in the whole team now feels as if the back of his head is suddenly smashed by people, and it is not clear what is north and south. But he barely took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and then looked at the stationery in his hand.

"I don't know, but the seal on this looks like it should be true. The other side said that he wanted us to join his army and fight for him. In return, he would allow us to own our house in the place of atonement, and he Assure us that we will not be persecuted there ... "

"Let me take a look."

Before Saul's words were finished, a red-haired woman reached out and took the stationery, and then a lot of people gathered beside her, listening intently to the red-haired woman reading the contents of the letter softly: "... ............ As the lord of Pafield, I hereby invite you to come to my territory in the name of the lord. If you like, I think we will cooperate happily. I need the strength of you as a demon Fight for me. In return, I will grant you the right to live and live in the fortress of the Atonement. You will live in the Principality of Munn as formal and legal citizens. I can understand your ideas, but I can Let me assure you that in my realm you will never be subjected to the unpleasant treatment before ............... "

In the noisy and broken hall, the red-haired woman quieted down gradually in the whispering of the red-haired woman. The semi-demons listened attentively to her speech. There was no sound in the whole church, only the cold wind howling and red hair. The woman's voice echoed in it. "............... As a token, I attach this badge with you. If you are willing to come to the fortress of Atonement, you can go to the fisherman tavern on the coast of the Fins. I have prepared a carriage there, as long as I show this one Badges, you can take a carriage to the Atonement, and you will not encounter any obstacles along the way. I sincerely look forward to your arrival-Lord Glenbell. Rhode Elante ... "

After reading the letter, the red-haired woman looked up and looked at Sol. Seems to understand the meaning of the red-haired woman, Sol took the envelope, and soon, a badge shining with a weak magic, like a four-pointed star appeared in his hands. Sol looked at the badge in his complex look, not knowing what to say for a moment. But soon, others broke the silence.

"What? What do you think?"

"How did I hear it sound like a trap? Lord Glenbell really has such kindness? We are semi-demons! He didn't hesitate to be held accountable by the church if he accepted us?"

"I think it's weird too ...... the lord wouldn't plan to use us to sacrifice some mysterious ritual ..."

"How is that possible? That's a lord. The lords of the Principality of Muen are all recognized by Grand Duke Lydia. If they want to perform any evil ritual, how can Grand Daddy Lydia ignore it? And since the other party is so sincere Invitation, we do n’t think it ’s bad for us to try it? ”

"But the land of atonement is not close. It's winter again. Even if we set off now, it will take many days to get there. I heard that it can be regarded as the border area of ​​the Principality of Munn. Is it dangerous?"

"You're a fool. I didn't understand what the letter said. The Lord Lord needs our strength to fight. If it's not dangerous, why would he want us to go? Is there so much army under the Lord? Eat dry rice? It must be very dangerous, so you are willing to accept us, please move your mind?

"I don't think we lost even if we try. If the other party really invites us sincerely, then we can get rid of the wandering life right now, right? We fled here all the way from the kingdom of light. Isn't that the case? There is such a good opportunity right now in front of us. I don't care what you think, I must go anyway! "

"What if it's a trap? Don't you be afraid of the sheep entering the tiger's mouth? Not to mention, if the other party just wants to use us,"

"Where does it matter? Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than it is now. It's a big death, and it's free."

"..............."

After hearing this sentence, many people fell into silence. Indeed, as their companions have said, how bad can they be? They have a powerful power inherited from the devil, but this power has not brought them any benefit. The weird appearance makes them feared and expelled no matter where they go. Even buying food is sneaky like a thief, and most people are reluctant to deal with them, for fear of being regarded as a devil's believer. Even Old Karl, if he had not rescued this kind and loyal old man from the hands of those cultists, I am afraid he would not be willing to help himself.

However, it is impossible to move forward with such goodwill alone. They may be able to change the views of one or two people, but they may not change the thinking of most people. It is precisely this that makes the members of the hunting and demon hunting team feel very tired. They feel that they are fighting against a huge, invisible destiny, but no matter how hard they can't fight and overthrow. Along the way, they are very tired, and some people have even started talking about leaving the realm of the Dragon Spirit of Light and heading for the Dragon Kingdom of the Night. Although the Dragon Kingdom of the Night is not very friendly to humans, they are already half Not human anymore.

It was under such a predicament that this letter from the Atonement Land immediately stirred up a shock in everyone's hearts. They didn't know whether it was a request from heaven or a temptation from hell. For a while, everyone discussed it. But no one can convince anyone. Although each of them had been persecuted and gathered together because of it, the response was completely different. Some people have had enough of the painful life of continuing to wander like this and being deported, and are determined to make a gamble. But some people worry that this is just a trap, another tactic to lure them.

"Brother Sol, you can write a letter."

Finally, after a long argument between the two sides, they still couldn't come to a conclusion, so they set their sights again on Sol, who was standing beside them. But just before Sol was about to speak, the red-haired woman standing next to him coughed, and then said after attracting everyone's attention.

"The lord of Glenbell ...... I've heard of him, the mercenary lord who is now famous."

"So to say ........."

"It seems he is indeed ..."

After hearing the words of the red-haired woman, everyone responded. If the former lord of Glenbell was only a vague impression in their minds, then the title of "mercurial lord" obviously immediately made these semi-demons check in, although their time in the Principality of Munn was not very long. Long, but Rhodes's name is obviously heard of them. Especially among the mercenaries, it spread widely. He led an underrepresented mercenary group, and eventually he was promoted to the mercenary guild. He even became a noble lord now. This is simply too "inspiring" for those mercenaries. There are countless stories and rumors about him, even among the half-devils who are not associated with people in the hunting devil hunting team. This "merchant lord" also heard about it.

Thinking of this, everyone felt that their mood began to become a little more complicated. A lord of mercenary origin could not have come closer than a simple nobleman. However, it is said that this lord is not a bad-tempered person at all. He has acted independently and has almost become a public enemy in the south. In turn, many people in the north praised the lord. But no matter which side of the rumors, there is something disturbing in the evaluation of this "mercurial lord", at least, no matter how it looks, it does not look like a kind-hearted person.

"I made a decision."

At this time, Sol, who had been silent, finally spoke. He looked up, looked at his companions around him, took a deep breath, and then said.

"Let's go to the place of atonement ...... whatever the other person wants us to do, this is our only chance."

"But, Brother Sol, that person's opinion is not good ..."

"It's because of bad reviews that we're going."

"Hey?"

Hearing Saul's words, many people are embarrassed, and people say that it is normal for a good comment to go. But why did Saul go the other way? Isn't it obvious that there are tigers in Hushan? Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Sol smiled bitterly, and then spread his hands.

"You see, even we all know that the Lord Lord's comment is not good. Presumably the Lord Lord himself knows this very well. We are not idiots. Hearing these rumors will naturally make him more vigilant. But he Still invited to us, this shows that he did not help us out of some kind of sympathy, but really wanted to use our power. The letter has made it very clear that he needs the power of our semi-demons He fights, then it must not be an easy fight. This is not charity, but trade. We contribute our strength, and he gives us a place to live, I think it is fair. So, I The decision to go to the place of atonement, anyway, at least, this is the only opportunity for us right now. "

After hearing Saul's words, the crowd was silent for a while, and finally nodded their consent, but ......... someone still expressed anxiety about it.

"I'm not so convinced by the lord's words. He said that he welcomed us and was understandable, but he said that he could guarantee that we would not be discriminated against in the land of atonement ......... This statement is too skinny."

Although the question is the question, everyone knows that they have no way to go now.
