The Divine Hunter Chapter 18: Necklace

"I am just a poor woman. I finally got rid of the nightmare. Can't you let me go?" Ava stood in front of the bonfire, and the firelight showed a pure, beautiful and sad face, "What should I say? I said it all!"

"Madam, after this time, unless my life is at stake, I swear that I will never disturb your peaceful life again." The witcher sitting on the bench opposite the bonfire folded his hands on his knees and stared at each other. eyes, "I learned from Yank in the Creeper Village that Ortolan once took away his father, the gambler Flanden..."

"Have you seen them in action together?"

The woman clasped her fingers and thought for a moment, "One night I woke up from a nightmare and found that Ortolan and Flanden were both at home."

"What are they doing? What are they talking about?"

"I didn't hear it clearly. Later Ortolan only explained that we had something important to discuss. I was very surprised at the time. What could he, a wealthy businessman, and a gambler have to talk about?"

"How long ago was it exactly?"

"More than a year ago..." Ava lowered her face and pursed her lips, "At that time, he had already begun to deliberately neglect me, but he had not yet hooked up with other women."

Roy patted his knee lightly, which matched Yank's confession.

……

"There is another thing. I learned from the port guard Aggie that the women your husband had an affair with were all prostitutes."

"So what?" Ava wrinkled her small nose, her tone full of disgust.

"The three prostitutes look a lot like you. Do you have any special ideas?"

"What problem do you want to explain, that he still loves me?" A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Ava's mouth, and her voice became sharp, "So you found a few substitutes for me, but abandoned me? You don't Do you think this speculation is ridiculous? No matter whether the person he is looking for is beautiful or ugly, betrayal is betrayal!"

"If he still has me in his heart, he will not neglect me, torture me, and make me miserable!"

"Wow--" The loud cry of a baby rang out from the bedroom door. The woman hurriedly walked over, picked up the baby from the wooden stroller, and patted the child's back gently.

"Asaph, be good, don't cry, mother is here, mother is here."

Roy's eyes inadvertently glanced at the chubby boy with red lips and white teeth, and his pupils condensed - a gray necklace hung on the boy's fair neck, and the pendant was a diamond-shaped stone. There is a small pattern carved on the stone.

Blurred in the light of the campfire, it looks extremely inconspicuous.

But the witcher walked within a meter of the child, and the viper pendant on his chest began to hum and hum.

Chaos energy is surging.

He was breathing heavily.

"Madam, this necklace looks very special." Roy suppressed his excitement and tried to speak calmly,

The woman holds the baby in her arms, her delicate side face exudes a holy light, and a loving smile appears at the corner of her mouth.

"Given to the child by Fahd."

"No, no, this is what Ortolan left for you, right?"

The witcher looked at the mother and son with bright eyes.

The woman tensed her body and turned pale for a moment, but she no longer argued.

"Okay, you're right, this is a gift from Ortolan...it didn't look worth much, so I put it on him."

You are absolutely wrong, it is worthless! ?

Roy's heart roared, his pupils flashed with a deep light——

Guardian Pendant

Material: obsidian, silver, magic, bright stone, evil spirit dust, wheel injection dust, evergreen stone...

Enchanting——

Physical protection, energy protection, evil spirit protection, disease resistance...

Each time it takes effect, the talisman will automatically draw chaos energy from the air to replenish its consumption.

……

The witcher has never seen such a powerful enchanted jewelry, which has several practical functions and automatically recharges.

According to his estimate, the necklace is worth tens of thousands of crowns.

"So this child is Altolan's biological flesh and blood?"

"Before he disappeared, I had been pregnant for several months. After remarrying Fahd, I gave birth to Asa. Fahd didn't mind this," Ava's gentle eyes turned to the wooden window and the direction of the sea. , with a sweet smile on his lips, "He treats the child as his own."

Under the observation of the witcher, the baby was just an ordinary boy, without any magical power.

He failed to inherit his father's magical talent.

……

Under the mother's gentle comfort, the child stopped crying, holding one of his mother's fingers in his mouth, looking at the witcher curiously with his big dark eyes,

Roy was caught in conflicting emotions.

Even if the mage has strong financial resources, he will never give away such a precious enchanted pendant easily.

"Ortolan..." The demon hunter couldn't help but sigh, his eyes locked on the pendant around the baby's neck, trying to see the pattern on it clearly. "He must value this child very much. He loves the child very much. And you leaving the necklace shows that you still have him in your heart."

"No, you don't understand anything!" Ava seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly she roared in an extremely suppressed voice, glaring at the demon hunter, "I hate him! The necklace is just...just a souvenir... ”

"He doesn't love me or my children either! His behavior before disappearing is unforgivable!"

"What did he do to you?"

Roy lowered his voice.

"Didn't I say that besides emotional betrayal, he had more terrible mistakes." The woman shook her head and gave the last clue, "I collapsed and committed suicide because of his well-known cheating scandal. He saved my life and brought me back to strength quickly. I thought he would change."

Ava pursed her lips tightly, fear flashing in her bright eyes,

"But that night I woke up from my sleep and saw him standing in front of my bed, holding a fish-killing knife and looking straight at me."

"That look, I saw on pirates who went out to plunder when I was very young." The woman shrank her shoulders and held the child in her arms, "I could feel it - he wanted to kill us. Mother and son."

Ava hugged the child and sobbed, even the beauty mark at the corner of her mouth was stained red with tears.

The baby felt the mother's sorrow and cried with her mother.

"After I begged him hard, he left without saying a word. But I could see that he was very hesitant and extremely reluctant!"

"How can a father have such thoughts that he is worse than a beast? This makes me more desperate than cheating!"

"Although he spared my life and my child's life, I don't want to see him again!"

"He fulfilled me and disappeared by himself."

The witcher remained silent until she had finished venting her emotions and wiped away her tears.

I was sweet with her for four months, but then I ignored her and cheated on her with someone else.

The talisman worth ten thousand gold was left to the child, but it disappeared and never came back to take a look.

I just saved my wife who committed suicide and wanted to kill her with a knife.

……

Ortolan's various actions turned into one word in the witcher's mind - contradiction!

The devil hunter can only think this way - he took away the gambler ~IndoMTL.com~ and the three prostitutes who looked exactly like his wives, and finally wanted to kill his wives with his own hands, all in order to achieve a certain goal?

But when things came to pass, he regretted it.

To solve these mysteries——

"Ms. Ava, I have a heartfelt request... Can you lend me this necklace?" the witcher begged, "I promise to return it to you tomorrow at the most, or you can What are the requirements?"

"I have only one request!" The woman held the child, looked back at Roy, tears flashed in her beautiful eyes, and begged hoarsely, "Don't mention that name to me again, don't disturb our family anymore! Please !"

……

Click, the wooden door opened and closed.

The witcher held the necklace in front of his eyes, and the dim light illuminated the exquisite carvings on the pendant—a star-shaped pond and three willow trees beside the pond.

A strong intuition told him that this had something to do with Ortolan's secret base!

"Mr. Linus..." Clotte, who had been waiting for a long time, said to the witcher, "I have found a tavern for you to stay at. It is at the Big Lobster Tavern. There are fine wines, delicious food, and even some special services. , guaranteed to satisfy you."

"Don't worry, man, you call yourself a tour guide. You must be well aware of all the scenic spots and terrain in Indalsfell, right?"

"I'm not bragging," the tour guide smiled proudly and pointed to his flowing blond head, "Have you recorded the map of the island here?"

"Have you seen this place?" Roy showed him the necklace.

The latter stared at the pattern on the pendant, but within ten seconds, his expression changed.

"I remembered, it's in the woods near the no-man's land to the north! I fished in this pond a few years ago!"

"Lead the way!"
