The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 2, past and present life



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

"……Please say."

"Mr. Belt, what is going on?"

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

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

One hundred and fifty years ago, the barbarians in the Chaos Wasteland in the north gathered a huge army of more than 500,000 people under the call of Chaos. They marched southward, destroying everything they saw along the way, and reached the heart of the empire. , and even captured the Emperor's capital.

After the Battle of Fasa, a new empire was re-established under desolation. The Imperial Parliament elected Ludwig as the new emperor. Since the original capital of the empire, Weisselmunds, had been completely destroyed, Ludwig made it the capital. Brunswick, but the corruption of Chaos has not faded away from the land. Corruption, disease, mutants, and evil god believers are rampant in the land of the empire. The army of the empire cannot always be thrown out because of trivial matters.

As a result, the profession of demon hunters came into being. The corruption of culture within the empire and folk pagan beliefs spread like vines throughout the country. In such a dark and obscure era, some tough clean-up people were needed.

Demon hunters clean up those pagans and monsters wherever they go, fighting against Chaos.

Belt is such a demon hunter. He became famous twelve years ago. He single-handedly destroyed the entire evil god organization and became famous. He even successfully won the title of master demon hunter.

But Ryan came here just to chase Belt!

During his hunting career, the master demon hunter seems to have become more and more withdrawn and unwilling to communicate with others. He is even unwilling to participate in routine gatherings. He always acts in secret and is always collecting information. What.

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

This master demon hunter always went his own way and had many conflicts with the Church of Justice. After receiving the letter, Archbishop Innocent hesitated and decided to go and see what was going on.

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 letter to the archbishop and asked the archbishop not to use this matter to try to interfere with his life.

Innocent left angrily on the spot and declared that anything he did in the future had nothing to do with him.

But Innocent was, after all, the Archbishop of the Church of Justice in the Kingdom of Nord. Shortly after he left in anger, he immediately realized something was wrong. When he rushed back to Belt's residence, the master demon hunter had already left the building, leaving behind, It was a terrifying experiment site. The demon hunter used living people to conduct experiments and created a large number of half-human and half-animal monsters.

"I can imagine what happened. What I want to know is, why didn't the church use divine protection to protect this master demon hunter?" The young knight sat on the bed in the guest room and asked doubtfully.

"Because he is unwilling 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 man, and of course he knows what the so-called price is.

The Justice Church is not a charitable organization, nor is it a righteous organization that selflessly eliminates evil. The Justice Church emphasizes that "justice requires a price," and many of their things are clearly marked with price.

Belt, the master demon hunter, is unwilling to pay the "price".

The Church of Justice is willing to recruit those demon hunters. Demon hunters who accept the recruitment of the church can get holidays. They work for six months every year. Among them, the master demon hunters will also receive the blessing of divine blessing on a regular basis to ensure that they will not be harmed by Chaos. The force erodes.

However, justice comes at a price. 40% of a witcher's income must be handed over as "protection fee." Many witchers are unwilling to sign this kind of contract. It should be noted that the signing of the contract requires pressing the divine book with your hand and signing in the witness of the gods. , if you default, the consequences will be very dire.

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

The Church of Justice commissioned other demon hunters to capture Belt, but none of them succeeded. When the body of the strongest demon hunter in the Church of the Kingdom of Nord, Master Demon Hunter Bent, was found nailed to a tree in the wild. Once in the pine tree, Archbishop Innocent knew something was in trouble, so he approached Lane.

Ryan has a good relationship with the Justice Church. He appreciates the Justice Church's clear price tags, which neither hypocritically promotes "divine grace" or "divine gift". It always makes it clear that there is a price to be paid, but does not use tricks secretly. , the code of conduct of persecuting dissenters, so he has always maintained a good relationship with the Justice Church.

"Compared to the Christian religion in the Middle Ages, it's really much better!" No matter how much I think about it, there will be no results.

Taking off a complete set of chain armor on his body, Ryan vigilantly set up multiple alarm devices, then placed his warhammer and one-handed sword within easy reach of the bed, leaned on the soft down pillow, and lowered his head. She exclaimed: "Are you a stranger...?"

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

By chance, he crossed over from the blue planet of life. However, the so-called crossing was not as beautiful as he imagined.

He spent three days traveling through a strange passage filled with all kinds of illusions!

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

When he came into this world, Ryan actually found that his body had turned into a three-year-old child, and the wild dogs on the roadside were looking at him and drooling!

His adoptive father, Lord Norman of Auternay, passed by at that time. In this way, Lord Norman adopted the child and named him Lion, which means lion, because Ryan was brave enough to fight against dogs. The knight was reminded of a battle between a lion and a large group of beasts.

Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye. Starting at the age of eighteen, Ryan embarked on a journey of travel. His footprints covered most of the Nord Kingdom, from Storm Fortress, the forefront of the fight against the northern barbarians, to Lin, the capital of the Nord Kingdom. Winter City, from the densely populated Nord spellcaster holy land - Sky Castle, to the current small town of Ulan, Ryan continued to hunt monsters and those fallen people in exchange for bounties with the Church of Justice, and by the way took over various projects. Some commissions from the lord, and to this day, he already has a lot of savings.

What will happen in the future?

Lying on the bed, Ryan gradually fell into sleep...

In the dream, he seemed to have returned to his hometown. In a country under the red flag, the roads were still so congested. He got up early every day and took the subway to go to work. He worked hard just to support his family and worked hard to save money to buy a house. His parents were getting older. Fortunately, he lives in a city. Every holiday, he visits his parents and goes out to play with them. His father's warnings and his mother's nagging mean that although the work is hard, it does not make people feel depressed.

It’s just that everything is slowly becoming blurry. It has been twenty years since he came to this world, and his memory of that world is still clear. However, the faces of his parents and friends who he was most familiar with in the past are no longer bright, as if they are covered with darkness. Amidst the confusion and slight sadness, he seemed to be falling endlessly in the darkness, falling...

I woke up in the middle of the night and touched my cheek, which was covered with tears.

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 in a daze.

"I...it would be better if I were really a stranger. A stray man is worse than a rich dog." The young man sighed slightly.

"Sir, you woke up so early!" The hotel owner was sitting behind the bar, washing dishes. Seeing Ryan sitting in the hotel lobby early in the morning, he said casually: "Sir, you went to bed very early yesterday. Later, Mr. Bard told the story of our Nord hero, 'Sledgehammer' Ryan, it was really exciting! The atmosphere was so heated, it's really a pity that you didn't listen."

"Hahaha, is that 'Sledgehammer' Ryan? I hear his stories every day, and even see them with my own eyes every day." The young man just smiled and faced the hotel owner repeatedly asking him if he had ever been a "sledgehammer" "Sledgehammer" Ryan's knight attendant, he just smiled and didn't answer, and asked: "A few days ago, was there a tall and thin man wearing a cloak, a tall round hat, long trousers and black boots? People come to stay here?”

"...I don't know." The innkeeper immediately showed a vigilant expression. He put down the bowl and earthenware cup in his hand, and his tone suddenly changed: "I'm sorry, guest, it's our business not to disclose other guests' information." According to the rules, if you are here for this matter, then you’d better give up on this!”

After saying this, the innkeeper stretched his hand towards somewhere under the bar, but the knight reacted faster. He suddenly waved his hand to show that he had no ill intentions, and then brushed off the cloak in front of him: "In this case, you Can you tell me?"

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

"My lord turns out to be the White Wolf Knight! I'm very sorry, please forgive me!" After the innkeeper saw this badge, his face turned pale with fright and he apologized quickly.

"You are right not to disclose customer information. When doing business, you must abide by the rules of this industry. This is not wrong, but I am ordering you as a knight of the kingdom to tell me the details." Ryan asked in a deep voice. .

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

"Three days ago, a tall, thin man wearing strange clothes did come here..."
