The Divine Hunter Chapter 4: Ideal
That night, Roy and Leisuo walked into the tent outside the carriage to rest. The safe positions inside several carriages surrounding the carriage belonged to the female relatives of the acrobatic troupe.
Aaron, the leader of the acrobatic troupe, has a unique tent, which is set up far away from the carriage team. According to Evelyn, Aaron takes one of his two pet owls out to hunt for food every night, and also keeps watch around the tent.
After having enough wine and food, as soon as Roy entered the tent, his attention turned to the unfinished business of the day, occupation-binding weapons-
Gabriel
(Originally this was just a simple, old pocket crossbow, but after an enhancement, it was rejuvenated, its power was improved, and it became more suitable for the owner's body)
Type: Pocket Crossbow
Material: mulberry, tendon, hemp
Features: Weight 5 pounds, bow length 2 feet, draw weight 20→30 pounds. Effective range: 100→150.
Enchanting——
Simplification: As long as there are arrows in the loot package, it will automatically draw the string and set the arrow without the owner having to do anything, and the time required to load the arrow is shortened to 0.4 seconds.
……
Guweishil
(This ancient black iron flaming sword, crafted by the skillful hands of goblin craftsmen, unlocks new abilities after being strengthened.)
Type: Steel Sword
Material: black iron, lava, meteorite, leather, pine wood, powerful monster organization.
Features: Weight 3.06 pounds, handle length 9.3 inches (0.23 meters), blade 36 inches (0.91 meters),
Enchanting——
Cycle: Each time you kill an enemy, a small amount of physical energy will be restored to the holder immediately.
Ignite: Every time you hit an enemy, there is a very small chance of igniting the blood in the wound, causing burns.
……
Roy's hand alternated between the short crossbow and the steel sword, with a look of joy on his face.
The hand crossbow has been strengthened beyond imagination. It not only increases the power and range, but also solves the biggest shortcoming - in previous battles, facing an enemy rushing over dozens of meters away, it could only shoot one arrow at most. Before you can draw the bow and place the arrow a second time, the enemy will rush in front of you and launch an attack.
But with the simplified enchantment ability, the time to pull the string and place the arrow is shortened to one-tenth, from 4 seconds to 0.4 seconds, which means that he almost only needs to aim and pull the trigger...
The time saved is enough to shoot three or even four arrows... Even if three enemies attack at the same time, he is confident that he will kill them all first!
……
Guweixir is originally a rare sword, and its enhancement is not as strong as that of a hand crossbow, but it is good to have an additional enchantment skill. The effect of igniting it has yet to be verified in practice.
Roy's hands were itching unbearably, and the crossbow and steel sword flickered in and out. He got out of the tent and took a look. The night watchman of the Acrobatic Troupe was patrolling back and forth.
When you first arrive, you can't play with crossbows and steel swords in front of others, otherwise you will always feel like you have malicious intentions.
I could only suppress the turmoil in my heart, put away my weapon, and enter meditation - the more tired I am, the easier it is to break through the limit.
As time passed, he gradually became better and felt the thin elements around him. The elemental elves are like shy children who meet a stranger. They are curious about him and have ignorant kindness, quietly but tacitly walking around him.
Subtle affinity grows slowly with day after day of meditation. Although the improvement after just a few days after converting to a quarter elf bloodline was minimal, he was determined that as long as he persisted, one day the power of the elements would be used for him.
……
A night of silence.
The next day, when Roy opened his eyes, it was already bright and it was another sunny day.
The people in the acrobatic troupe were packing their luggage in an orderly manner under the instructions of the person in charge, Aaron. Although they were rejected by the acrobatic troupe, the villagers of Shire Village also volunteered to help.
There are also about a dozen children reluctantly surrounding the motorcade. As country children, this may be the only opportunity in their lives to enjoy the performance of the acrobatic troupe up close.
Leso sat on the carriage, looking at the busy scene in front of him leisurely and contentedly,
Everin on the other side smiled, rolled up her sleeves again, exposed her bright wrists, and loaded a plump turnip into the carriage.
"Eveline," although the relationship went so smoothly yesterday, Roy felt a little strange after a sound sleep.
"Well...are you used to sleeping last night?"
“Extremely comfortable!”
"There is no need to worry, Ms. Aveline." Leisuo suddenly interjected, "This kid has been wandering around with me for a long time since his adoptive mother passed away, lying in swamps, bushes, graves, and even in cesspits. Asleep."
"Shut up, Leisuo!" Roy's eyes were full of complaints. Is there no way around the cesspool? He glanced at Aveline again slightly nervously.
"I am different from him, a sloppy guy with lice on my body. I am very particular about personal hygiene!"
Hearing this, the demon hunter suddenly glanced at him meaningfully, "Kid, I clearly remember that there is still some time before spring..."
Roy was stunned for a moment. He was in a weird state when facing Aveline. He seemed to be unable to control his mood and wanted to get close to her.
"Is it really because the body has reached puberty? No, it should be the blood of this quarter of the elves."
Next to her, Evelin looked at the tit-for-tat exchange between the two with envy in her eyes,
"You two are really close. Your partner, master, apprentice, and uncle are all just talking nonsense. It's more like...well...a pair of angry father and son."
"How is it possible?! It's an apprentice!"
"The witcher cannot have children!"
The two of them denied Evelin's statement in unison.
"Okay..." Evelin tucked her hair behind her ears and said casually, "Did you hear that sound last night?"
"I heard a little bit," Roy's attention returned to the right track. "The dogs in the village barked for half the night, and there were also terrifying screams from the livestock pens. But no one saw the real owner. Is there really a dog? The 'dirty thing' knows that the sea scorpion is about to leave and is starting to make a move?!"
……
The old village chief of Shire Village once again tried to stay, but Aaron was determined and showed no mercy.
The group of people packed everything up before noon, took the carriage with them, and waved goodbye to the short-term transit station of Shire Village.
On both sides of the road that stretches straight into the distance, acres and acres of neat fields are filled with winter vegetables such as chrysanthemum, spinach, and turnip.
Along the road, six carriages drove slowly, leaving a series of long ruts on the soft mud.
Roy was sitting in a carriage chatting with the witcher, Evelyn, and the sword girl.
Under the carriage, several young adults were walking on foot. They were wanderers who joined the acrobatic troupe along the way, mainly doing odd jobs and doing hard work. The salary is meager, but at least I can make a living and see the scenery along the way.
Huddle together to keep warm and it is easier to protect your own safety. Among them, the wanderers who have been with the acrobatic troupe the longest have been together for more than two years.
These all came from Evelin's narration, and Roy was stunned as he listened.
In this turbulent era, every dynasty in the north and south was replaced at a jaw-dropping speed.
Natural and man-made disasters and small-scale wars and conflicts continued. Deserters hid in many remote areas and became bandits, forcing good people to leave their homes.
Without land and no fixed place to live, piles of homeless people emerged. These people in front of them will continue to work with the acrobatic troupe until they find the ideal place in their hearts, and then leave the team. But they will be homeless and homeless for most of their lives.
He suddenly felt that Emhyr's idea of conquering the north and establishing a unified empire was not without merit.
"By the way, Aveline, why did you leave the edge of the world..."
"Brothers of the same race, I won't hide it from you either." A trace of sadness flashed in Aveline's eyes, her red lips parted slightly,
"The brothers and sisters of Dole Bretanner originally lived in peace for a few years under the leadership of Lady Field, and lived a good life for a while. But the arrival of Lady Daisy of the Valley led the tribe back to their original path. I It feels like they are brewing a terrible conspiracy, and I don’t want to get my hands stained with blood again.”
Roy remembered the origins of the two ladies.
The "Field Lady" and the "Valley Daisy" are two completely different factions among the Ain Sheidi tribe in the Valley of Flowers. The former is an obvious peaceful faction, unconcerned with the world, and is even willing to pretend to be a girl from the countryside. Live anonymously and peacefully with humanity. She is gifted with powerful magic, and everything grows wherever she goes, bringing greenery and vitality.
"Valley Daisy" should be called the main militant faction. She is the future free elf queen of Flower Valley and the leader behind the Scoia'tael Party. He responded unceremoniously to the atrocities committed by humans, and for the sake of the overall interests of the elves, he abandoned the brothers and sisters of the Scoia'tael! But that’s for the future.
"Candy pulled you, why did you travel thousands of miles to join the Sea Scorpion?"
The swordsman girl looked at the unknown distance with exotic eyebrows, "Zerikan's people are all born warriors. But I want to prove that I am the best among them!"
The corners of her lips were slightly curved, and the hard lines of her face reflected a mysterious brilliance in the sunlight. Her slender index finger pointed at the tattoo near her cheekbone, "It's fair to get an honor tattoo after defeating a ferocious beast! These two honor tattoos were earned by killing the desert spider and the venom lizard on my own. . But I don’t want to wait until my hair is gray and I can’t hold my weapon firmly before I can be covered with honor from head to toe!”
"I must take the risk and leave my homeland to find Zerikan's faith!"
"Uh... If I understand correctly, you want to find a dragon?" Roy remembered that the totem of the desert country Zerikan was a dragon, and this kingdom even built a dragon temple.
"Yeah!"
Roy looked at the confident girl in front of him and didn't know what to say.
Real dragons, whether white dragons, black dragons, red dragons, green dragons, or rock dragons, can easily crush the dermopteran sheartail dragons, bird dragons, and dragon lizards. Of course, they can also defeat those fighting alone. Witcher.
They are unparalleled in hand-to-hand combat. In addition to their fangs and claws, they can also spit dragon flames, strong acid, or high-temperature steam. There are also legendary golden dragons that possess magical abilities such as transformation and are the most powerful.
"Your ideals are very lofty!" Roy said sincerely.
The girl raised her chin proudly, "I know you are laughing at me in your heart and laughing at my overestimation. But I have no intention of conquering that great existence with force. Whether you believe it or not, the Zerikans I have a natural spiritual connection with the dragons, and I will impress them with my piety and Taoism!"
"Okay~IndoMTL.com~ I wish you success!"
"So Aaron, what is Aaron's lofty ambition that led him to form the Sea Scorpion Acrobatic Troupe?"
"No..." There was a trace of a girl's yearning and yearning for romance in Aveline's eyes. "Elder Aaron started traveling around the world in order to find his other half and his true love. According to him, only by finding his other half and finding a new mother for his two babies, Aly and Ade, can he start from the boundless world. Free from pain!"
"Um...Is Boss Aaron a poet?" If Roy remembered correctly, Aly and Ade were an owl and a kestrel respectively. "It's a strange and romantic way of saying it."
He subconsciously thought it was the elf lady’s joke.
Everine glanced at him and continued without waiting for him to ask, "Corinthius and Flos truly love each other, but it's a pity that they are not nobles. Their love cannot be called a disgusting 'elegant affair'. Naturally, there is no blessing, instead there is endless rolling eyes and discrimination. Only in Sea Scorpion can they be aboveboard and get along as lovers!"
Yes, the messy relationships of nobles are often romanticized, but if it were a commoner, it would be a capital crime.
"Roy, what do you think of them?" The elf lady suddenly cast her bright eyes over.
The young man's heart skipped a beat, "Well... okay... I wish them well!"
No insult or promotion, this is his true attitude towards **** love.
"As for Amos..."
"Huh!" Cantila said with a fierce look in her eyes, "Not a good thing!"
Roy wiped his chin, "Master of Gwent...he plays Gwent pretty well. Do you have any rare cards? I think I can communicate with him!"
