Proof of the Sun King

"I found it, but before that, can the Archbishop answer a question for me?"

"……Please say."

"Mr. Belt, what's going on?"

The voice inside the bracelet was silent for a while, and then the majestic voice said slowly: "Ryan, you must know that Belt is a witcher."

"Yes, I know... He was eroded by Chaos? A demon hunter who has been famous for 20 years was eroded by Chaos?" The young man's name was Ryan. He looked serious and listened carefully to what the Archbishop said. Then he recalled in his mind the information he had now.

One hundred and fifty years ago, the barbarians in the Chaos Wasteland in the north gathered a huge army of more than half a million people under the call of Chaos, and went all the way south, destroying everything they saw along the way, and approaching the hinterland of the empire. , and even breached the Emperor's capital.

After the Battle of Fasha, the new empire was re-established under the barbarians. The imperial parliament elected Ludwig as the new emperor of the empire. Since the original capital of the empire, Weisemunz, had been completely destroyed, Ludwig was the capital. Brunswick, but the corruption of chaos has not faded away in the country. Corruption, disease, mutants, and followers of the evil gods are popular in the country of the empire. The army of the empire cannot always be thrown out because of some small things.

As a result, the profession of witcher came into being. The degeneration of the internal culture of the empire and the spread of popular pagan beliefs spread to the entire country like vines. In such a dark and obscure era, some tough cleaners were needed.

Wherever the Witcher goes, he cleans up the heretics and monsters, fighting against Chaos.

Belt is such a demon hunter. He became famous 12 years ago. He alone wiped out an entire evil **** organization and became famous for a while, and even successfully won the title of master demon hunter.

But Ryan, came to chase after Belt!

In his hunting career, this master demon hunter seems to have become more and more withdrawn, more and more unwilling to communicate with people, even unwilling to participate in routine gatherings, always acting secretly, and has been collecting what.

Five months ago, Innocent, the archbishop of the Justice Church in the Nord Kingdom, received a letter from the demon hunter. Belt asked Bishop Innocent for help. He said that his ears were always haunted by the whispers of demons. In his sleep, he often dreamed of boundless seas of blood and endless slaughter, and sometimes he couldn't even control what he did. He was going crazy, and he begged the archbishop to help him.

This master demon hunter has always gone his own way, and has had many festivals with the Justice Church. After receiving the letter, Archbishop Innocent hesitated again and again, but decided to go and see what happened.

Surprisingly, after arriving at the residence, the master demon hunter denied to the archbishop that he had ever written a letter asking for help. He said that he had never written any letters to the archbishop, and asked the archbishop not to use this matter to try to interfere with his life.

Innocent left on the spot angrily, and announced that everything he did in the future had nothing to do with his own.

But Innocent was the archbishop of the Church of Justice of the Nord Kingdom after all. Not long after he left in anger, he immediately realized that something was wrong. When he rushed back to Belt's residence, the demon hunter had already gone to the empty building, leaving behind, It was a terrifying experiment site. The demon hunter used living people to conduct experiments and created a large number of monsters that were half human and half beast.

"I can imagine what's going on. What I want to know is, why didn't the church use Divine Protection to protect the demon hunter?" The young knight sat on the bed in the guest room and asked questioningly.

"Because, he is not willing to pay the 'price'." After the archbishop said this, he turned off the communication. Long-term communication requires a lot of energy.

"...What's the price?" Ryan is a smart person, of course he knows what the so-called price is.

The Justice Church is not a charitable organization, nor is it a just organization that selflessly destroys evil. The Justice Church emphasizes that "justice requires a price", and many of their things are clearly priced.

Demon hunter Belter, unwilling to pay the "price".

The Justice Church is willing to recruit those witchers, and the witchers who have accepted the church's inclusion can get vacations. They work six months a year. Among them, the master witchers will also receive the blessing of Divine Protection on a regular basis to ensure that they will not be chaotic. Power erosion.

However, justice requires a price. 40% of the witcher's income must be handed over as a "protection fee". Many witchers are reluctant to sign such a contract. , if it defaults, the fate is very dire.

Many witchers cannot accept this condition, and Belt is one of them.

The Church of Justice entrusted other witchers to capture Belt, but none of them succeeded. When the body of the strongest witcher in the Nord Kingdom Church, the master witcher Bent, was found nailed to a tree in the wild. After the pine tree, Archbishop Innocent knew something was in trouble, so he found Ryan.

The relationship between Ryan and the Justice Church is good. He appreciates the clear price tag of the Justice Church. He does not hypocritically advocate "God's grace" and "God's gift". , the code of conduct for persecuting dissidents, so he has always maintained a good relationship with the Justice Church.

"It's really much stronger than the crucifixion in the Middle Ages!" Thinking about it again, there would be no result.

Taking off a full set of chain armor on his body, Ryan vigilantly set up multiple alarm devices, and then placed his warhammer and one-handed sword within reach by the bedside, leaning on the soft down pillow, low. The voice sighed: "Is it a foreigner..."

Yes, Ryan is not a native of this world at all, he is a stranger.

In an accident, he traveled from the blue life planet like this, but the so-called travel was not as beautiful as he imagined.

He traveled for three days in a passage that was eerily filled with all kinds of illusions!

Inside the passage, he met a mysterious man with long black hair and a suit of golden armor. He had his own adventure.

When he came to this world, Ryan actually found that his body had turned into a three-year-old child, and the wild dog on the road was watching him drooling!

His adoptive father, Norman, the lord of Ortenne, passed by at that time. In this way, the lord of Norman adopted the child and named him Ryan, which means lion-because of the way that Ryan fought bravely against the dogs It reminded the knight of a battle between a lion and a large pack of beasts.

Twenty years passed in a blink of an eye. At the age of eighteen, Ryan embarked on a journey of travel. His footprints covered most of the Nord Kingdom, from the frontline Storm Fortress against the northern barbarians to the capital of the Nord Kingdom. Winter City, from the densely populated Nord spellcaster holy place - Sky Castle, to the current town of Ulan, Ryan went to exchange for bounties with the Church of Justice by constantly hunting monsters and those who fell, and by the way took over various Some commissions from the lord, and today, he already has a lot of savings.

What will the future be like?

Lying on the bed, Ryan gradually fell asleep...

In the dream, he seems to have returned to his hometown. In the country under the red flag, the roads are still so congested. He gets up early every day to squeeze the subway to work. He works hard just to support his family and save money to buy a house. Fortunately, he lives in a city. Every holiday, he will go to see his parents and go out to play with them. His father's admonition, his mother's nagging, although the work is hard, it does not make people feel depressed.

It's just that everything is slowly becoming blurred. He has been in this world for 20 years, and he still has a clear memory of that world, but the faces of his parents and friends who were most familiar in the past are no longer bright, as if they were covered with a shadow. Layers of shadows, in confusion and a touch of sadness, he seems to be endlessly falling in the darkness, falling...

Waking up in the middle of the night, when he touched his cheek, there were tears all over his face.

The next morning, Ryan got up early. After breakfast, it was still dark outside, so he sat on the seat in the hotel lobby and stared at the heavy snow outside.

"I... If I were really a stranger, it would be better. It's better to be a rich dog than a chaotic person." The young man sighed slightly.

"Sir, you got up really early!" The hotel owner was sitting behind the bar, washing dishes and cups. Seeing Ryan sitting in the hotel lobby early in the morning, he said casually, "Mr. yesterday, you went to bed really early, Afterwards~www.wuxiahere.com~ Mr. Bard talked about the story of our Nord hero, 'Sledgehammer' Ryan, that was wonderful! The atmosphere was so hot, it's a pity you didn't hear it. "

"Hehehe, 'Sledgehammer' Ryan? I listen to his story every day, and even see it with my own eyes every day." The young man just smiled, facing the hotel owner and repeatedly asked him if he had ever been a " When Sledgehammer Ryan's knight squire, he just smiled and didn't answer, and instead asked: "A few days ago, was there a tall and thin man wearing a cloak, a high round hat, long pants and black boots? People come to live here?"

"...I don't know." The innkeeper immediately showed a wary expression, he put down the bowl and clay pot in his hand, and his tone turned sharply: "Sorry for the guest, it is our business not to disclose the information of other guests. If you are here for this matter, then you should die!"

After saying this, the innkeeper's hand stretched out to somewhere under the bar, but the knight's reaction was faster, he suddenly waved his hand to indicate that he was not malicious, and then brushed off the cloak in front of him: "In that case, you Can you tell me?"

A silver wolf head badge appeared in front of the innkeeper.

"My lord turned out to be a white wolf knight! I'm very sorry, please forgive me!" After seeing the badge, the innkeeper's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly apologized.

"It's right that you don't disclose the information of the guests. If you do business, you must abide by the rules of the industry. It's not wrong, but I am now ordering you as a kingdom knight to tell me the details." Ryan asked solemnly. .

"Yes!" The innkeeper quickly put down the small crossbow in his hand and told Ryan what he knew.

"Three days ago, a tall and thin man in strange clothes came here..."
