Chapter 194
To the Empire and the Demon Hunters.
This is a can't be called victory, and even a disgraceful defeat with heavy casualties!
If it weren't for Cole · Walker, like a majestic man, the mansion would pull strongly against a crazy tide, suppress witches and devil, and save the imperial family and the majesty of the hunting group.
I am afraid that what is waiting for them will be a more terrifying national movement.
It is precisely because of the emergence of Cole.
The actions of the Nordic Order in other important cities were cancelled due to the lack of victory on the key battlefield of Imperial Capital.
Preparing the plan for nearly ten years has fallen short.
You can imagine.
How terrifying the Nordic Order's hatred of Cole will be.
Within the whole world.
People from all walks of life are faintly aware of the strange silence before the war and chaos.
It's like the calm sea before the storm.
The next day.
An old gentleman who claimed to be Chief Steward of the Mengxi Palace, drove a luxurious retro carriage and parked outside the gate of the Demon Hunter's headquarters.
Afterwards.
Cole Walker, the news of being summoned by the queen spread like wildfire.
Meeting privately, or encountering differently.
Summoned.
In the demon hunting group, it often means that a future bureaucrat has been born, and in the next few years, as long as the summoned does not die.
It's only a matter of time before we can enter the demon hunting group and even the core of power in imperial politics.
People who are jealous must be a minority.
Getting this seemingly unpretentious, but in fact a very heavy reward, it should be.
Except for a certain demon-hunter who is experiencing the pain of bereavement.
Janssen · Finley.
He has ten thousand reasons to suspect that Celia was killed by Cole's hired murderer, but dead men tell no tales, and Celia's body was not even found.
Now.
His enemy, from an unremarkable poor fellow, is waiting step by step to reach the peak of power in the Demon Hunting Group.
Indignation, helplessness.
Moreover, he knows that if Cole gains power, his good days may be over.
...
One o'clock noon.
At the invitation of the Queen, Cole finished lunch.
Leave the palace.
But I saw a very familiar limited edition Horch unicorn parked on the street outside the palace.
There are still curtains hanging on the car windows.
The old gentleman Swain, who had a close relationship with him, walked over and said, "Mr. Cole Walker, do you have free time in the afternoon?
Yes An adult, I want to talk to you alone."
Cole glanced down at his watch, and after a glimpse of the moving curtains, Cole said, "Yes."
The attitude of the old gentleman. Not humble or overbearing, he bent slightly and said, "Please follow me."
At this time.
The Horch unicorn, which has been parked on the side of the road, starts the engine and leaves first.
Cole was taken onto another Duke of Horch One, and drove out of the city along the streets of the city center.
An hour later.
The car is parked outside a luxurious, huge manor full of classical art.
In a sense.
The ancient degree of this place and the history of the palace can be mentioned on equal terms.
Following Sven, the two came to the living room.
"Please wait a moment, the owner of the manor will be here soon."
During his departure.
Cole looked at this extremely luxuriously decorated living room.
Marble floor.
Silver wall lamp.
The four walls are covered with paintings by famous artists to show that the owner of the manor is rich and distinguished.
Not long.
A graceful young woman in a white evening gown walked into the living room.
See you soon.
Steward Sven, standing by his side, introduced to Cole, "Mr. Walker, this is the Duke of Olin, Asitaia Victoria Olin."
here.
He smiled, maybe to ease the embarrassment of the first meeting, jokingly said, "Queen Your Majesty is her distant cousin, if you are familiar with history, maybe..."
"Sven."
The old gentleman gave a dry cough, bent over slightly, and turned away.
The woman smiled, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down first."
After the two sat down.
In silence, look at each other.
Compared to adjectives like peerless beauty, or charming and charming.
The face of the Duchess is not very outstanding, but the different eyes of one gold and one brown, white skin, and her noble temperament, which is different from ordinary people, are very impressive.
Cole indifferently said, "So, what can you do with me?"
Acitaya said with a slight smile, "Nothing is very important, the first time in the newspaper After reading about your deeds, I became interested.
To tell you, although I am the Duke of Olin, I am also a best-selling author.
So, I invite you to come for an idea of mine.
Through a face-to-face conversation with you, I will improve the character of the protagonist in my mind."
while speaking.
Her eyes fell on the action of Cole taking out the cigarette and putting it back, said with a smile, "For example, now, other people may think you are a rude, arrogant, killing without blinking an eye. demon-hunter.
But in my opinion, your character is far more rude and cunning than yours.
A stupid demon-hunter can’t help it. Just like you, even if you offend that many people, you are still alive and kicking.
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 behavior.
Every painting hanging here is of great value. Your keenly understood this is the reason why you put cigarettes Put it back.
In other words, you care more about their historical and artistic value than the pound, because you don't care about money."
Some discussion.
The detailed observation and reasoning ability demonstrated by the Duchess is even more delicate and logically rigorous than many investigators working in the hunting group.
There was a moment.
Cole felt that it would be a waste of such talents not to work in the Demon Hunter.
However, this is Duke Olin.
Although after the Great Geming, the nobles no longer have the power and glory of the past.
But she and Your Majesty are cousins.
For such a great god, even if he wanted to join the Demon Hunter, some bureaucrats who cherish feathers would not agree.
But now, Cole finally understands the reason for her two secret observations and finally inviting herself.
"So?"
"So, I want to know you more deeply. After all, my new book is a personal biography of you as the protagonist, a Legendary demon-hunter Birth and rise."
The Duchess sat next to Cole, her eyes were very sincere, said with a smile, "Moreover, many loves are slowly developed on this basis.
Am I right? Mr. Cole."
Look at her.
Cole smiled and said, "I think, I understand what you are after, Lord Duke."
I smiled at each other.
The two men who are also sensitive to details are tacitly aware.
Compared to love.
Cole prefers to refer to this behavior collectively as: deception.
Or use a more elegant way to describe it from the perspective of a novelist: through the collision of the spirit and the flesh, the blending of different thoughts and the flesh, to find the perfect creative inspiration.
