King’s Kingdom

Chapter 103: human nature

"The Demon Hunter?" Theodosius couldn't help but startled, it was a very familiar name to him.

Looking at the short man who was only about 1.7 meters tall in front of him, the King of Lanyin said, "Since you are going to work under my command, I don't know what skills you have?"

"I am proficient in herbal medicine and magic, as well as some small-scale witchcraft, as well as swordsmanship!" Balin hesitated and stated his abilities.

"I can't see more, right?" Theodosius looked at the ominous witcher in front of him with a half-smile.

"You should have undergone some transformations, and now your body may be different from a normal human... Am I right?" Theodosius held Balin's eyes.

His pupils had shrunk to the size of the tip of a pin, which was revealed by Theodosius, which filled his heart with shock, but then he was relieved.

"Your Majesty is indeed erudite and talented, and he even knows our roots!" Balin sighed helplessly.

"I really didn't intend to hide it, I was just worried that His Majesty would have doubts because of this and would not accept me as your subject!"

Theodosius raised his eyebrows and motioned him to continue.

"I did undergo a physical transformation. My teacher used to be a cat demon hunter. He used the blood extracted from more than 200 cats to perform a transfusion operation on me, and then selected the eyeballs of the big cats for me to replace. …”

"Okay..." Theodosius nodded, he could already imagine the pain the other party was enduring at that time, no wonder his eyeballs looked very different from normal humans.

"Then how old are you this year?" Theodosius asked again, in his impression, the witcher's lifespan seemed to be very long.

"Fifty-two years old, Your Majesty, since I was born, I have experienced 52 times of vegetation withering and flourishing!" Bahrain began to be candid.

"You wash your hands in a golden pot... I mean how many years have you lived in seclusion?" Theodosius knew that the other party had a wife and children, but his wife was only about thirty years old this year, so she might not know the real situation of her husband.

"Twenty years, Your Majesty."

"Twenty years... that means you gave up this business when you were thirty-two years old. Can you tell me why?"

"..."

Balin's expression changed for a while, and it could be seen that his heart was struggling: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty..."

"I...I don't want to talk about those things!" His expression was painful, obviously it was a painful memory.

"Bahrain!" Theodosius stood up suddenly, leaning on the table with both hands, leaned forward and said, "I am a person who loves talents, and I don't want to give up the opportunity of any talented person to serve me."

"But I'm a king, and this status also makes me have to take all risks as much as possible. I can't accept the allegiance of a person of unknown origin and no identity, do you understand?"

"And I believe that it's not just me, no monarch will be willing to accept such a person, no matter how great his talent is!" Theodosius said earnestly, but he was actually unwilling to let such a person out of his hands. Slip away, but not knowing his origin and the reason for his retirement made him doubtful.

Pain appeared on Balin's face, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, how much I have concealed from you before!"

"Actually, Demon Hunter is just the general name for our group of people. There are all kinds of people. They hold various occupations and are collectively called Demon Hunters!"

"And I used to be a protector! It's just that now I'm just an ordinary person..." Bahrain said amazingly.

Theodosius had only heard about the name of the witcher, and it was through a game he played in his previous life. He had no idea what kind of group or organization the witchers in this world were.

But the name of Dao Protector is very familiar. Even among the civilians with little knowledge, there are not a few people who know its existence.

Without him, this group of benefits once played a huge role in the war between humans and monsters.

They fought together with the guide to protect the safety of the guide, and escaped with the guide they protected countless times in near-desperate situations.

Later, the guides relied on a large amount of knowledge and wisdom passed down to eliminate the contradictions that the Eight Sage Kings and other human monarchs saw only, and made suggestions for the human armies. They played an important role in the war between humans and demons. The characters also accompany them and become famous.

"Guardian..." Theodosius took a deep breath, looked at the legendary professional in front of him, and asked, "Since you call yourself a guardian, where is the leader you guard? where?"

Balin's expression became sad, and his voice was a little choked. He said painfully: "If I still have a leader to follow, how can I live in seclusion in the countryside for 20 years? What's your name?"

"I'm sorry..." Theodosius looked at Balin, whose eyes were red, and continued to ask: "But I can't understand why a group like the leader who made great contributions to mankind died? As far as I know The reign of evil creatures was once again shattered more than 800 years ago."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you guessed it right!" Balin said with a strong smile, "The leader I was responsible for defending died under the sword of human beings!"

"Twenty years ago, at the height of the Hilkati Empire's split war, the seven countries were attacking each other endlessly, and civilians suffered heavy casualties~lightnovelpub.net~ The production suffered huge damage. Lord Joseph hoped to avoid such a tragic situation. The war that caused the human vitality to be spared, so he wandered among the palaces of the Seven Kingdoms, hoping to resolve the dispute through peaceful means."

However, the rulers of the seven kingdoms were greedy for power, and each of them wanted to defeat their opponents through war, make the crown on their head more glorious and become a great emperor, so the helpless Lord Joseph could only secretly form a organization, hoping to put the war to rest by assassinating these ambitious monarchs..."

Speaking of which, Theodosius couldn't help but sneer: "This leader is really..."

He wanted to make a mockery. As a monarch, what he hates most is these guys who assassinate the king. Wouldn't it be stupid to rely on this evil way to eliminate the war? When the monarch dies, there are still his heirs and heirs. Even if the heir is dead, it is nothing but political chaos. How can the war be stopped?

However, taking into account the mood of Bahrain, Theodosius did not sneer at the end, only said: "This Joseph is really naive, and the people who are fighting for the throne are more than monarchs? Their supporters are also obstacles to peace."

"Your Majesty said that at that time, Lord Joseph was only twenty-eight years old. He had just completed his studies as a leader, and he was just a fledgling. He didn't want to die under the search of the monarchs in just two years, and I I was lucky enough to escape with my life, and I could only live in seclusion in the countryside when I was disheartened..."

"This heart is good... It's just that he wrongly estimated the determination of these contenders. In the absence of foreign aggression, in order to safeguard their rights, they can do anything. This is human. Nature!" Theodosius couldn't help thinking of the more than 20,000 lives sacrificed by Skrein II, who were also devoured by the monster called Power.
