Chapter 263
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
The Demon Hunter Council.
Beside the rectangular oak conference table, eight permanent directors of the hunting group sat in their respective positions, browsing tightly knit.
Luke Kay, who is about to retire for a while, repeatedly read the report handed to them by the Institute of Mystery, said solemnly, "Cole · Walker again..."
A thin, over-a-hundred-and-half-year-old demon-hunter, like Cole, is indifferent to the content of the ongoing meeting, with his feet on the table, frowned, "For the two witches, I specially gathered us here for a meeting, Baruch, are you sitting in the office too idle and having problems?
It is not related to the Nordic Order, has no dark creature characteristics, and directly signs a warrant , It’s enough to let the death row prison release people. It’s unnecessary."
The voice fell.
An old demon-hunter sneered sitting across from him, over 60 years old, but still sturdy.
His clothes are extraordinarily well-dressed, and a piece of pure pocket watch chain is exposed from the chest pocket of the expensive wine red vest. He habitually touches the upturned gray gentleman Hu, and said, "I really don’t know you are How did you get promoted to a permanent council member, Desmond, if this matter is caused too much by Cole, we will have to reverse the case in the Salem Witch Trial.
You know who presided over the case back then. Is it?"
Desmond slapped the table angrily, got up, loudly said with a red face and a thick neck, "If you turn the case, you will turn the case! Cole is not afraid, I am not afraid!
, Are you afraid?!"
"I am afraid?! Fuck you! When I was doing this, you were still on your horse..."
The convener of the meeting, Baruch hurriedly stopped the scolding battle between Desmond and his dead opponent Bened.
lightly coughed, said, "This matter, please take a moment, I will ventilate with the Prime Minister first, and test the attitude of the cabinet and Your Majesty.
As for those two Witches... to be precise, they call themselves Demoness.
I will personally vouch for the parole request of Cole Walker, the head of the Special Events Department."
, And things that would offend people, except for Lucan and Baruch, who are about to retire, the other directors seem to be lacking in interest.
Even.
After receiving the report, the eight permanent directors were not surprised at all.
After everyone leaves.
In the office where there were only two people left, Lucan stopped Baruch, was silent for a moment, and warned, "The youngster Cole is very capable. There is no doubt about this, but you should not treat him. Too indulgent.
Returning the Salem Witch Trial, making the Imperial Family less face-saving... After you make sure that the legal status of those rare and special humans will not cause damage to the current social order Shock?"
Baruch did not respond.
Lucen took a deep breath, patted Baruch’s arm, said solemnly, "There are some things that we Old Guys will never be able to solve.
So, we can only use time In exchange for space, leave it to the future youngster to deal with, Baruch.
Before ventilating with the above, think about your own future."
After speaking, Leave slowly.
That evening.
Hayley and Arlene were first transferred to the Demon Hunter’s trial prison.
After parole was approved, he was taken to Cole's office by a demon-hunter.
At this time, the sky is already dark.
The two who had regained their freedom, holding the parole certificate, still can't believe that the demon-hunter sitting in front of them has such a huge power in the demon hunting group.
They do know that Cole's personal strength is very strong.
But...for half a day, they were fished out of the death row prison that claimed that only corpses could leave.
This is not something that ordinary witch hunt bureaucrats can do.
Arlene doesn't know much about bureaucrats.
But Hayley Jonny, who has dealt with the Demon Hunter many times, knows very well that unless Heavenspan is hand and eye, it is absolutely impossible to get them out of the death row in such a short time.
"So, can we go now?"
Cole brows tightly knit, the ashtray on the side is full of cigarette butts, and Miss Shane just gave him in his hand , The latest report on the blood wave incident.
I didn’t look up at the two of them, indifferently said, "Don’t forget the debt of 111,000 pounds. Over three months, I will charge additional interest."
"Wow Oh."
Hayley folded the parole certificate, tucked it into his chest, walked to the desk with catwalks, supported his chin with his elbows, leaned forward, and looked directly at Cole's face at close range, charming eyes were like silk.
"In this case, you might as well just kill me."
Cole lifts the head.
The two eyes face each other.
Combine the report and put it aside, and say, "You want to use other things to settle the account, you can."
"So...what do you want?"
Talking.
Hayley climbed onto the table, gently grabbed Cole's tie with his right hand, pressed his face to it, his nose was warm and his breath was blue.
Cole smiled, took her tie from her hand, and said, "Be my informant and keep an eye on the movement of Dark World, if you agree.
The account is written off, every month, I can still give you an extra allowance."
"Yes."
"Don't think about it seriously?"
Hayley Smiled suddenly.
However, this time lacks a cunning fascination, and an extra sincerity from the heart, kissing him on the cheek, whispering, "Thank you."
Jumped off the table .
Go to the door.
Arlene glanced suspiciously at Cole, pulled Hayley up, and whispered, "You promised him so soon? What if..."
Bang.
The door of the office was closed heavily.
Coming outside, Hayley took a deep breath and said, "This is an opportunity, Arlene, besides..."
"Besides what?"
"..."
In the office.
After sending the two away, Cole tilted his leg on the table, holding an unlit cigarette in his hand, browsing tightly knit.
The report Miss Shane gave him earlier is more than several times more serious than the previous one.
The villages and towns near the Golden Port were hit by large-scale attacks. There were even more than 20 small villages and towns with a population of less than 10,000. They were bloodbathed overnight.
Be aware.
It can be a week since the Nordic Order incident ended.
The most serious thing is that this kind of attack, like the plague, spread quickly across the territory of the empire.
If it is not stopped.
According to the statistics and estimates of the Institute of Mystery, the death toll in the towns along the Mengxi Strait will exceed one million at most six months, and Imperial Capital and the entire north will also face major threats.
Millions of deaths.
Written on paper, maybe just a simple number.
But if it really develops to that point.
The Europa continent, once in another world where the plague has spread for nearly two hundred years, is the future of the empire and this world.
Countless corpses piled up on the streets of the city, emitting a stench.
The city has become a dead place.
Follow closely from behind brings a series of problems, the severity is even related to the plague mention on equal terms.
