The Divine Hunter Chapter 10: Hongshan Town

"Well..."

The sleeping man muttered, moved his eyebrows, opened his eyes with difficulty, sat up with his hands on a layer of dead branches, turned his neck and looked around - a sunset hung on the horizon, the gorgeous sunset glow The light fell on him through the gaps in the forest, and there were faint howls of beasts and rustling insects coming from the depths of the woods.

The confusion in the heterochromatic pupils turned into surprise.

"What's going on? Where am I?"

Roy rubbed his temples and groggy head, and stood up unsteadily, like a drunkard waking up from a hangover.

“Didn’t I have a drinking competition with someone at the Chiqi Mare Inn? Why did I appear in the wilderness for no reason?”

He glanced at the template and found that he had a hangover after the state, but the fur armor and boots on his body were still intact.

"Whose prank is this? Joe Zhan Kuang, Sam Guinwari, drag me here while I'm drunk!"

"No," Roy clearly remembered that after fifteen bottles of wine, Joe Zhan Kuang was the first to fall down, and he continued to compete with Sam for supremacy in the sea of ​​wine, one bottle after another, and his stomach was about to burst, but He took the opportunity to vent his recent stress and anguish. He did not use the space to cheat, but just let Avel watch from the side.

Under the light of the crackling bonfire of the Chiqi Mare Inn, I almost fainted from drinking, and the man named Sam finally lay down on the bar and snored due to excessive alcohol.

He won the game and received cheers and applause from the Nords in the hall, and then got drunk.

"It was evening when I was drinking at the inn, why is it still evening now."

Is it possible that I was drunk all day and night?

Roy tried to contact Avel, but there was no response from the other party, and he could not be teleported to him. It seemed that some mysterious power blocked the space here.

"Hiss..." He frowned, and there was a strong uneasiness in his heart. It was impossible for ordinary people or ordinary mages to have such miraculous methods.

Out of intuition, he thought of Sam Guinvari who suddenly joined the drinking party, and the cynical smile that always hung on his lips.

The witcher seemed to have triggered a switch in his heart.

A voice came out.

"Find me, get me, take me."

"Find me, get me, take me."

……

"Who is this Sam, so powerful? Why did he play a prank on me just because I defeated him by drinking?"

Roy thought, if the other party wanted to harm him, he would have died long ago in that drunken state.

What other purpose does Sam have?

"Since you want me to find you, then I'll catch you and see what you want to do!"

After all, Roy had experienced a lot of weird things. He quickly adjusted his mood and left the woods. Following the guidance of his intuition, he walked in the green grassy fields under the sunset for half an hour. He kept trying to teleport, and repeated fail.

Then a wooden fence appeared in the distance.

He walked over casually.

"Hey, friend, what are you doing here when it's almost dark?" A middle-aged man dressed as a hunter with a bow and arrow on his back greeted him by the wall. "You're still running around outside at this time, so you're not afraid of the night. Was attacked by hungry beasts?"

Roy glanced casually and saw that he was an ordinary Nord with skills consistent with his identity.

But then his heart froze, and his brain, which had recovered from alcohol, realized an extremely serious problem.

Avel Translator is not around, why can I suddenly understand a Nord?

The situation was quite strange. Roy thought about it for a full two seconds.

"Sorry, man, I actually accidentally got lost while looking for someone, and the sun was almost setting before I knew it." Roy asked tentatively, "Where is this place?"

Since the guy left himself nearby, there may be some clues in this village,

"Well...this is Hongshan Town."

"I'm looking for a man named Sam Gunwari, have you seen him?"

The guard shook his head without thinking, "I have no memory of this name, but maybe someone in the village knows him."

He glanced at Roy and suddenly smiled heartily, the beard on his lips trembled slightly, and invited him friendly and enthusiastically,

"Young man, it's getting dark and it's dangerous to stay outside alone. Why don't you come in and take a look? Ms. Kelly's has a nice ale. Maybe it can give you some inspiration."

Roy took a deep breath.

As soon as it comes, make peace with it.

Let me see what that guy is up to.

"Drinking is free, but thank you for the invitation."

The moment he finished speaking and the other party relaxed, the demon hunter suddenly drew a triangular talisman in front of his eyes with his five fingers.

The man's body trembled, his expression was dull, and he became as obedient as a puppet.

"Let me introduce myself first..."

……

Five minutes later.

The guards took the witcher, who found nothing, to the town and then returned to continue patrolling.

Roy looked up.

The peaceful Hongshan Town is located at the foot of a mountain with lush vegetation. It is full of small houses built of mud, wood and stones. The fields on both sides are lush and green, and the crops and vegetables are growing gratifyingly. A clear stream dings to the west. Passing around the village, the ancient waterwheel whirred in the corner, stirring up white mist all over the sky.

Goats are running around in the streets and alleys, and residents are walking leisurely with smiles on their lips and contented expressions.

A quiet and peaceful pastoral scenery.

To the east of the town, you can see golden beaches and the vast sea.

Roy casually greeted a male town citizen on the street.

"You are a foreigner, right?" The man looked at Roy with a warm smile, "I have never seen you in Hongshan Village before."

"Yes, I'm from Xueman... have you heard of it?" Roy observed his expression carefully.

"I remember that place is far to the north. It takes more than a month by carriage. The climate is much colder than here." The man thought for a while and said, "Why are you here, for tourism?"

Roy shook his head and chuckled,

"I'm looking for a man named Sam Gunwari, have you heard of him?"

"Hmm... I seem to have some impression, yes, Xiao Xuerui mentioned this name."

"Who is Xue Rui?" Roy asked.

"A great girl... Really, you know, Hongshan Town can become so prosperous and everyone can have a happy life because of her."

"So, she has made a lot of contributions to the town?" Roy became interested.

"Yes! She is a beautiful, lovely and kind-hearted girl. Since she accidentally discovered the mineral vein in the mountains and forests, our life has become much happier, and everyone likes her very much."

"She is still the know-it-all in the town." The man smiled from ear to ear, like a father praising his daughter. It was obvious that he liked the girl very much, "You should go meet her, maybe she can help You."

"Go along this street to the end, near the house at the foot of the hill, and you can see her by knocking on the door. She lives with her mother, Caroline, who is also a kind person."

Roy rubbed his chin and fell into thought.

The latter said enthusiastically,

"Man, you can also go to the Firefall Inn and ask the landlady, she is pretty well-informed. Count to the eleventh house along this street."

"If you need to buy some supplies, there is Baroque and his small shop on the outskirts of the village, and there is Saken in the market..."

"Anyway, guests rarely come to Hongshan Village. I wish you a pleasant journey."

"Thank you for your help."

Roy nodded to him and walked slowly along the street, but he was not in a hurry, just taking in the sights like a real traveler.

Under the magnificent sunset, smoke curled up from the chimneys on the flat roofs of many houses. The hazy white and bright orange colors mixed together, like a beautiful oil painting.

The townspeople don't seem to have the habit of closing doors. Through the doors, you can clearly see the iron pots being heated on the earthen stoves in the center of each house. The aroma of meat and fruit comes to your face, making you want to eat.

Several peasant women who were cooking in the house even hooked up with this strange visitor and warmly invited him to come in and have a meal together. But Roy just touched his belly still full of wine and shook his head in refusal.

While he was observing, townspeople on the street smiled and nodded at him from time to time. He asked several people in succession. The attitude of the townspeople was surprisingly good, and they all answered patiently and enthusiastically - or they knew nothing about Sam. , or let him find Xuerui.

Unconsciously, he walked through the long street and came to the last low-rise mud-walled bungalow.

A black-haired woman wearing a red apron is wielding an ax to chop firewood. She looks like she is in her thirties, with a plump body and a delicate face. Her cheeks have a healthy blush, and a few beads of sweat hang on her chin. The colorful colors are reflected by the rays of the setting sun.

"Ahem, is this Xue Rui's house?"

"Yes, who are you? I don't remember seeing you nearby?" The woman put down the chopped firewood, held the ax with one hand, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the other, and smiled happily, "How can I help you? ?"

"Hello, madam, I am a traveler from Xueman. You can call me Jinyan. I am looking for a girl named Xuerui... I guess you are her mother Caroline." Luo Yi glanced at her tiger's mouth. There was a hideous scar extending from the tiger's mouth to the edge of her palm on the other side. She didn't know if it was caused by chopping firewood.

The woman nodded.

"Yes, but why do you ask, where did you know Xuerui?"

"I heard from people in the town that she might be able to help me find Sam Gunvarre. I have something very important and I need to see that guy."

"Well, I'm a guest from afar..." Caroline smiled softly, "Her room is behind the door on the left side of the house. She is practicing dancing. Maybe you are a qualified audience, so go in. ”

"Um...Madam, are you sure you want me to go in as a man and appreciate your daughter's dance?"

"Of course, you look like a good person at first sight." Caroline smiled affectionately, "You won't hurt her, right?"

……

Behind a reddish-brown curtain, the light of candles illuminated a simple, clean and tidy room.

There is a dreamy pink bed against the wall on the left, with a doll in a red dress lying on the pillow. There is a bookshelf on the right wall, which contains a lot of love and poetry.

And a girl in a light yellow floral skirt is in the open space in front of the central desk, rotating her body, her back as straight as bamboo, her left cloth shoe placed on the smooth knee of her right foot, her hands raised flat, and she clicks again and again It rotates with a rhythm, and its posture is as graceful as a swan.

The skin on the back of her exposed hands and neck is as white as milk and as delicate as silk. The smooth hair on the back of her head is tied into a ponytail. Her blond hair is shiny and playful.

A palm-sized melon face is dotted with big emerald-like eyes, long eyelashes, a straight nose, soft petal-like lips, and small ears hidden in the hair.

Her face is innocent and sweet, her figure is slender and graceful, her forehead just touches the witcher's chin, like a budding flower, with a green beauty.

Xue Rui

Age: 13

Identity: Citizen of Hongshan Town

……

"Who are you?" The girl closed her eyes and turned around three times. When she opened her eyes, she seemed startled by the sudden appearance of the man with black hair and golden eyes, and then a faint joy appeared in her eyes. , "Guests coming in from outside the town?"

"Yes, you are Xue Rui, right? You can call me Golden Eyes. I passed by here and heard people in the town say that you...uh...know better. Ms. Caroline at the door asked me to come in directly to find you. ." Roy quickly withdrew his amazed gaze from the girl. The last time she gave him such an amazing feeling was the goddess of the lake, Vivian.

In such a small Hongshan town, there is a little girl with such outstanding beauty. No wonder all the townspeople love her so much and praise her repeatedly.

"Xue Rui, you look very good at dancing, which is quite rare at your age." Roy flattered her sincerely,

"Ah...are you serious?" The girl stared at him expectantly, holding her white lotus-like hands on her chest, with a hint of excitement on her delicate and flawless face, "I started dancing a long time ago. , I really like it."

Her voice is soft and sweet, like the spring breeze blowing on the cheeks, making people's hearts melt.

“Dancing is about using emotions and body to resonate, which always makes me feel real happiness.”

"Well, that's a profound insight. If you go to a big city, you must be an amazing dancer. But why don't you go out to dance on the street and show it to everyone," Roy asked curiously, "Townshipers We all like you."

"I've skipped it countless times, and everyone has long been tired of it. I have to find a way to create something new, I need inspiration."

Xue Rui suddenly lowered her head when she heard this, a little frustrated.

"Okay, this one..."

"Golden Eyes."

"Why did you come to see me? You're not just here to appreciate my dancing, are you?" she asked sweetly,

"It may sound a little strange, but I was looking for a man named Sam Gunwari, and he brought me to this... small town with simple folk customs and beautiful scenery." Roy said, "I You can only go home if you find him!"

"Well, okay...I think I know who you are talking about." Xue Rui lowered her pretty face and thought for a moment, with a hint of embarrassment in her expression, but she didn't know whether it was out of enthusiasm or other reasons, she bit Biting his lip, he raised his head and said, "I can take you to find him, but can you do me a few favors first?"

The witcher hesitated for a moment, considering whether to hit Axi directly to make the girl speak.

But I have to admit that the other party's pure and sweet appearance, with a hint of pitifulness, is full of lethality and hard to resist.

Even though Roy has a heart as strong as steel, he still can't bear to bully a little girl.

Of course, the more important thing is ~IndoMTL.com~ He is not sure whether that guy is behind all this, so it is best to observe first.

"Let's talk about it, but I may not be able to do it, and are the requirements a bit too much? How about one of them?"

"Three simple little wishes... As long as you fulfill them, I will take you to see Sam. And don't worry, the wishes are all interesting." Xue Rui looked at him expectantly, her big eyes flickering like the night sky star, "So, do we have a deal, Golden Eyes...can I call you Brother Golden Eyes, I've always wanted a brother?"

Roy stretched out his hand and gently shook her soft and delicate hand.

Xue Rui showed her teeth and smiled brightly, with pear dimples appearing on her cheeks, her smile was beautiful.

"Go to the northwest of the town, where the mill and waterwheel are, and wait for me. I'll be right away!"

"Now?" Roy frowned, "Isn't it too late?"

"Don't worry, you'll get there in time."
