For the Empire and the demon hunt.
This is a humiliating rout that can not be called a victory, even with heavy casualties!
If it weren't for Cole walker, he would be like a strong man in heaven. When the building was about to collapse, he would turn the tide, suppress witches and demons, and save the majesty of the imperial royal family and the demon hunting regiment.
I'm afraid what's waiting for them will be a more terrible national movement.
Because of Cole.
The operations of the Nord order in other important cities were cancelled because of the lack of victory in the key battlefield of the imperial capital.
The plan for nearly a decade fell short.
as one can imagine.
How terrible the hatred of the Nord order towards Cole will be.
Worldwide.
People from all walks of life are vaguely aware of the strange silence before the war and chaos.
Like a calm sea before a storm.
The next day.
An old gentleman who claimed to be the grand housekeeper of Mengxi palace drove a luxurious Vintage carriage and stopped outside the headquarters of the demon hunting regiment.
later.
Cole walker, the news of being summoned by the queen spread like wildfire.
Meet privately or encounter different people.
to be summoned by a superior.
Within the demon hunting group, it often means that a future senior official has been born. In the next few years, as long as the summoned person does not die.
It's only a matter of time before we step up and enter the demon hunting group and even the power core of imperial politics.
Those who are jealous must be in the minority.
It's natural to get this seemingly simple but weighty reward.
Except for some demon hunter who is experiencing the pain of losing his daughter.
Janssen Finley.
He had 10000 reasons to suspect that Celia was killed by Cole's hired murderer, but there was no proof of her death. He couldn't even find Celia's body.
Now?
His enemy, from a humble poor boy, is waiting step by step to the top of the power of the demon hunting regiment.
Resentment, helplessness.
Moreover, he knew that if Cole gained power, his good days might come to an end.
...
One noon.
At the invitation of the queen, Cole finished lunch.
Leave the palace.
But I saw a very familiar limited edition horsey Unicorn parked in the street outside the king's palace.
The window is still hung with curtains.
Swain, an old gentleman who had met him, came up and bent slightly and said, "Mr. Cole walker, do you have any spare time this afternoon?
An adult wants to talk to you alone. "
Cole looked down at his watch, glanced at the moving curtain and said, "yes."
The old gentleman bowed slightly and said, "please follow me."
This time.
The horsey unicorn, which had been parked on the roadside, started the engine and left first.
Cole was taken to another Duke of hohy one and drove out of the city along the streets of the city center.
In an hour.
The car stopped outside a huge manor full of luxury and classical art.
In a sense.
The ancient degree of this place can be compared with the history of the palace.
After Swain, they came to the reception hall.
"Just a moment, please. The owner of the manor will be here soon."
When he left.
Cole looked at the lavishly decorated reception hall.
Marble floor.
Silver wall lamp.
Famous paintings are hung on the four walls to show the manor owner's wealth and dignity.
Not long.
A graceful young woman in a white evening dress walked into the reception hall.
As soon as we meet.
Steward Swain, standing on his side, introduced Cole, "Mr. walker, this is the Duke of Olin, assitaya Victoria Olin."
That's it.
He smiled, perhaps to ease the embarrassment of the first meeting, joked, "Her Majesty is her distant cousin. If you are familiar with history, you may..."
"Swain."
The old gentleman coughed, bent slightly and turned away.
The woman smiled, pointed to the chair and said, "sit first."
When they sit down.
In silence, look at each other.
Compared with the adjectives of peerless beauty or charming.
The countenance of the Duchess is not very outstanding. However, the different pupils of gold and brown and white skin are very impressive because they are different from her noble temperament.
Cole said coldly, "so, what can I do for you?"
Asitaya smiled, "there's nothing very important. After reading your story in the newspaper for the first time, I became very interested.
To tell you the truth, although I am Duke Olin, I am also a best-selling writer.
So, I invited you to come for my idea.
Through face-to-face conversation with you, improve the character of the protagonist in my mind. "
Talking room.
Her eyes fell on Cole's action of taking out the cigarette and putting it back. "For example, now, others may think you are a rude, rude and murderous demon hunter.
But in my opinion, your character is far more cruel and cunning than you show.
A stupid demon hunter can't be as alive as you are when he offends so many people.
And... "
Get up, look at the mural on the wall, turn around and say, "my identity and status are not the reason for your self-restraint.
Each of the paintings hanging here is valuable. You have a keen insight into this, so you put the cigarette back.
In other words, you care more about their historical and artistic value than the Western pound, because you don't care about money. "
A discussion.
The Duchess's detailed observation and reasoning ability are even more delicate and logical than many investigators working in the demon hunting regiment.
There was a moment.
Cole felt that it would be a waste for such talents not to work in the demon hunting regiment.
But this is Duke Olin.
Although after the great revolution, the nobility no longer had the power and glory of the past.
But she and her majesty are cousins.
Even if such a great God wants to join the demon hunting group, some feather loving bureaucrats will not agree.
But now Cole finally understood her reason for secretly observing twice and finally inviting herself.
"So?"
"So, I want to know more about you. After all, my new book is a personal biography with you as the protagonist, the birth and rise of a legendary demon hunter."
The Duchess sat next to Cole with very sincere eyes and said with a smile, "moreover, a lot of love develops slowly on this basis.
Am I right, Mr. Cole? "
Look at her.
Cole smiled and said, "I think I see what you're after, your excellency."
Look at each other and smile.
Two people who are also sensitive to details are tacit.
Than love.
Cole prefers to call this kind of behavior: cheating.
Or use a more elegant way to describe it from the perspective of a novelist: find the most perfect creative inspiration through the collision of spirit and flesh and the blending of different thoughts and bodies.
