Chapter 1805: Moonrise

Whew, wheeze.

Throwing away his arms, Monte ran with all his strength and speed in the palace.

This is the first time he has lost his dignity in running in the palace.

He definitely wouldn't want to do it if he could, but...

His Royal Highness Svensen is dead!

Died at the hands of the Snake Demon Hunter!

Until now, Monte couldn't believe it, his mind was blank, and only the order of the Aitantine VI was left: Bring the Snake Demon Hunter to him!

With such an order, Monte, as a close minister, will naturally do his best.

When he ran into the hall, Monte heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Snake Demon Hunter confronting the royal agents.

fine!

Fortunately, it is not the worst situation!

Monte's heart couldn't help but feel a little rejoicing.

However, when Monte saw Sfinson's body on one side, this sliver of happiness flew out of the sky, and what was left was swollen temples and almost suffocating chest tightness.

As if being punched in the face by someone, Venus shot out of Monte's eyes, his body wobbled and almost fell to the ground.

The worst situation is already in front of us!

Is there anything worse than the current situation

I am afraid…

Is it His Majesty's death

When such thoughts popped up, Monte shook his head quickly, and he threw such disrespectful thoughts out of his mind.

Then, he took a few quick breaths and looked at the witcher from the Snake School.

The other side stood there calmly.

Behind the other party, the attendant and guard were inseparable, especially the guard, who looked at the spies and palace guards around him with a fierce look in his eyes.

Obviously, as long as the Snake Demon Hunter gives an order, the guard will rush up and start killing.

Of course, including that attendant.

In fact, Monte paid more attention to that servant than to the fierce-looking guard.

Because, the opponent held two firecrackers in his hand.

It's not an ordinary firecracker, but a fist-sized muzzle that looks like a hand cannon!

Damn it!

Where did he hide the weapon

Monte cursed inwardly.

There is no doubt that this is his negligence.

Before entering the palace, he personally took away and kept the weapons of the three of them.

And now a weapon that looked like a big killer appeared in the opponent's hands... Thinking of the punishment he might face, Monte couldn't help but smile wryly.

Sphinson is dead.

A lot of people are bound to die.

He doesn't want to be one of them.

So, he walked towards the confronting crowd.

"Lord Colin, please calm down."

"Everyone, please calm down too."

Monte shouted loudly.

How can I not die

Naturally, I will try my best to fulfill His Majesty's orders and obtain His Majesty's forgiveness!

As a close servant of the king, no matter what his external reputation is, at least Monte's words are quite intimidating. His appearance also relieved the tense palace guards and the king's spies.

Although they are undoubtedly the elite, they have never experienced such a thing.

An heir to a kingdom was killed in the palace!

Who would believe such a thing

Others don't believe it.

They don't believe it either.

Even, it can be said that there are no masters.

It can only be reported layer by layer.

Fortunately, Monte is here!

All eyes turned to Monte.

After Monte nodded slightly, the palace guards and spies immediately made way for Mont to walk in front of Kieran.

"My lord."

Monte greeted Qin Ran with a wry smile.

There was no turning back the matter.

But the basic etiquette must be there, it's not rigid, it's just that Monte doesn't want to die.

Unable to play the king's order, he will surely die.

If he speaks rudely to the Snake Demon Hunter in front of him, he will surely die. Monte is well aware of the opponent's strength.

There is death on the left and right, and only by being cautious can one survive.

For a moment, Monte felt so pitiful and helpless.

If I don't die this time, I must retire early.

I don't want to stay here even if I go to Morsa on the northern border.

Inexplicably, after making such a decision in his heart, Monte seemed to calm down.

"Your Majesty, I hope to see you and hear the reason from you."

Monte respectfully and truthfully relayed it.

At the same time, he began to think about what kind of reason he should use to let the other party go to see Aitantine VI.

Threats are definitely not acceptable.

A witcher is never afraid of threats.

Then there is only sympathy left.

At that moment, Monte pleaded.

"My lord, please have mercy..."

"Um."

"What, what did you say?"

Before Meng Meng finished speaking, Kieran nodded, Meng Meng was taken aback, and he asked subconsciously.

"lead the way."

Qin Ran said lightly.

"Okay, okay."

"Please come with me."

Monte didn't know why Qin Ran agreed so readily, but he knew that what he thought was an extremely difficult task was completed so easily.

Boer didn't know why Qin Ran agreed.

But he knew that Kieran must have a reason for doing so.

'Fire Demon' is definitely not a reckless person.

So, seeing Kieran taking steps, Bohr immediately followed.

Ash naturally followed his boss and companions.

However, when the strong man from the border passed by those spies, he bared his teeth.

Ash is simple.

But it is precisely because of such simplicity that he can tell who has bad intentions and who is a bad person.

It was this group of guys who just hid around with malicious intentions.

Then, after seeing things become irreversible, they suddenly appeared again.

Sfenson's self-reported family just now made Ash very clear that this is a prince and the heir of Eitandine VI.

Now killed by his own big boss.

Aitantine VI wants to meet his big boss.

He didn't think it was a greeting.

Next, there must be a big battle.

The boss's gun can catch people first, and then I want to snatch the weapon and quickly kill the people around me. I can't take the route just now, there are too many people, so I can only choose to go down the cliff on one side

Rare, Ash began to think.

Then, the strong man's aura began to change.

Killing intent brings murderous intent.

The king's spies around were keenly aware of this change, and their eyes became extremely dangerous.

But the next moment—

An utter chill froze their nerves.

An aura that was ten times, a hundred times more murderous than before descended.

It's like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The bloody smell coming from the nostrils made the king's spies tense up, while the kingdom guards staggered back, and the attendants had already collapsed to the ground.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the place where the murderous intent came.

A back view.

Dark and deep.

Did not look back.

There is only the sound of footsteps, stepping and walking.

That Snake Pie Witcher!

Everyone froze in place.

Especially those guards and spies who just thought they could take down this snake demon hunter by relying on their numerical advantage were even more chilled in their hearts.

Breath isn't everything.

But the strong breath is enough to explain the strong strength.

especially…

The bloody smell of slaughtering everything!

Is this the witcher

Everyone watched the figure go away.

Ball and Ash never let go.

However, Boer thought that since he was Kieran's entourage, he naturally had to express himself at this time.

So, when he was about to leave the hall completely, he turned around, crossed his guns on his chest, and bowed slightly.

That's etiquette.

Very popular among nobles.

When Ash saw the boss salute, he naturally had to respond.

Naturally, it is not the etiquette among nobles, but the 'etiquette' popular in the border Morsa.

The burly man turned around, bared his white teeth, raised his left hand and clenched his fist inward, his raised thumb slipped across his throat.

After doing all this, the burly man habitually showed a sinister smile, and then stood shoulder to shoulder with the boss, following in the footsteps of the big boss.

One front and two back.

After the three figures disappeared, there was a sound of exhalation in the hall.

It was the sound of raising his heart to his throat, and then suddenly letting out a sigh of relief.

Alone, such a voice would naturally not be too loud.

But what about a group of people

At least, Monte, who had just walked out of the hall, heard it.

However, Monte pretended not to hear.

Just like he didn't notice the murderous intent from the Snake Demon Hunters just now, or the 'etiquette' of his followers and guards.

All he had to do was bring the Snake Witcher to the small meeting room.

leftover

Never mind his business.

It's not something he can manage.

As for after

He doesn't think about it either.

He's just a little guy who does what he's told.

He didn't want to get involved in any 'revenge' action.

That's right!

revenge!

At this time, Monte, who had regained his composure, could be sure of one thing after thinking about it.

The Snake Demon Hunter in front of him should have known about the disgraceful role played by the Aitandine royal family at the time of the 'Black Calamity', so he chose to take revenge.

Otherwise, why would the other party kill His Royal Highness Svensen

Could it be that he was interrupted to eat and was in a bad mood

The king's close minister couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the actions of the Aitandine royal family and the consequences borne by the demon hunter.

Never die!

There is no other possibility except this.

Moreover, I am afraid that not only this young Snake Demon Hunter, but also the other party's friends and teachers should have sneaked into the palace of Aitantine silently.

Next, there will be a big battle!

Hope Your Majesty is ready!

The thoughts in his mind made Monte move faster.

He always felt that someone in the shadows around him was watching him.

After he decided to bring the snake demon hunter behind him into the small hall, he immediately chose to play dead.

As for leaving

He didn't believe the witcher wasn't prepared.

Going to flee will only die faster.

The best choice is to find an inconspicuous place to play dead.

Thinking about what was going to happen next, Monte almost cried. He thought he would go to the border with the wealth he had accumulated over the years. Now it seems that it is best for him to run away.

My life is miserable!

Amidst howling in his heart, Monte brought Qin Ran and the others to the door of the small meeting hall.

A team of fully armed royal guards was guarding the place. When they saw Qin Ran and the other three, their eyes were extremely unfriendly.

Apparently, they also got the news of Sfenson's death.

"Your Majesty, I saw you alone."

"The remaining two stay here."

The leader of the royal guard said so.

Bohr clenched the pistol in his hand, and Ash was even more ready to fight.

However, Qin Ran waved his hand.

"Stay here."

He said so.

"At your command, my lord."

Pol bowed.

Ash followed suit.

The door of the small chamber was pushed open.

Meng Meng, who was a close minister, also stayed outside, and only Qin Ran walked in.

boom!

The door was slammed shut behind him.

All royal guards are standing outside.

They never worry about the safety of their Majesty.

Or to be more precise, there is no safer place in the entire palace, or in Altantino, than the room behind them.

Even the 'God of War' and 'Miss Calamity' could not threaten a king in it!

In the small chamber.

Aitantine VI sat in that high-backed chair.

Bloodshot eyes stared viciously at Qin Ran who walked in.

And Qin Ran never showed timidity or apprehension like the people he watched, just a kind of indifference.

seem…

And with a hint of arrogance.

Such an expression made Aitantine VI extremely angry and angry.

"Are you showing off to me?"

"Are you telling me that you demon hunters have seen the truth?"

"Or do you really think it would make me feel bad to die a Sphinx?"

Aitantine VI roared.

Just like he said.

There was no sadness on the king's face.

There is only anger.

It's not like a father who has lost his son.

"Think with your smart brain, why am I like this?"

"Of course you did."

"Sphinxon is not my own."

"His appearance is just a shield I use against some rumors."

"If one is broken, I'll just train another one."

Aitantine VI's tone became calmer, his anger was disappearing, but what was left was not calm, but the indifference and playfulness of a hunter when facing his prey, and he spoke again.

"But you only live once."

"For a counterfeit that doesn't exist, you put yourself in it, do you still think it's worth it?"

"Or, do you think that with your strength, you can leave safely?"

Aitantine VI raised a finger while speaking.

Immediately, a layer of illusory light and shadow, like a glass cover, closed around him, firmly protecting him.

Then, one after another, evil spirits came out of the light and shadow.

Most of these evil spirits maintain a human-like appearance, but they have ferocious faces and twisted limbs. As soon as they appear, they let out a low growl, full of pain, anger, resentment and killing intent.

but-

"Kneel down."

Following Aitantine VI's words, these evil spirits knelt down at his feet one after another.

"Strength, you may say that you never know what strength is."

"I am a king, but I rule more than ordinary people."

"There are still these evils!"

"This is the reason for Eitandine's existence!"

"This is another reason why you demon hunters must die!"

Under the shroud of light and shadow, the voice of Eitandine VI was high again.

"In terms of wisdom, you are being played by me between applause."

"In terms of strength, you are not worth mentioning."

"so… "

"Why do you dare to tear faces with me?"

"Why do you dare to confront me head-on?"

"Why do you dare to destroy my plan?"

In the almost frantic words, Aitantine VI stood up, he raised his arms high and waved them vigorously.

The king did not notice that his high-backed chair was slowly deforming.

From the appearance of a chair, to the appearance of a person.

The figure quietly stretched out his right hand, piercing the chest of the king in front of him so easily.

Aitantine VI's questioning came to an abrupt end.

He looked down at the hand holding his heart in front of him.

There was a whisper in his ear.

"Of course it's up to me."
