The Divine Hunter Chapter 10: The truth is hidden in the soil
"God-level Demon Hunter ()"!
"Master, what do you mean, you mean that Arian has been trapped in a dream for more than a month?" Mrs. Louisa's red lips slightly parted, her face full of surprise, "Everyone has dreams, why is it my child? Can't you wake up?"
Roy observed the woman's expression carefully. Her surprise and astonishment did not seem to be fake, as if she had no idea what happened in the garden that night.
"Did we guess wrong? She has never been to the garden?" The Witcher's heart sank. "No, Lady Louisa can please Foltest. How can she do it without some tricks!" She must have superb acting skills, yes, the more beautiful a woman is, the more cunning she is, and she is good at disguising, and there is still an indispensable part of Yakxi!"
"Madam, you are right. Ordinary people's dreams can last for dozens of hours at most... Master Aryan's situation is really rare." Lei Suo pondered for a moment and said slowly, "According to me Judging from past experience, there are three possible situations when he cannot wake up..."
"Witcher, tell me..." The witch doctor on the side widened his cloudy eyes and asked with interest, "What do you have in mind?"
"In the first case, Arian subconsciously doesn't want to wake up..."
"Why, aren't you torturing yourself?!" The Baroness' voice trembled, and her knuckles turned white.
"Perhaps he is unwilling to face reality... He found a situation in the garden that made him extremely repulsive and unbelievable... So he chose to escape... No one can wake up someone who is pretending to sleep!" Roy stared at the woman, from A flash of panic was seen in those brown eyes,
"My child has received orthodox knight training. He is stronger than most adults and will never be a coward or escape from reality..." Louisa retorted weakly, but did not notice that she was smearing Her rose-red nails dug into the flesh of her palms. "That won't be the case..."
"Then let's talk about the second possibility. Yamos, who was previously identified as the murderer, in addition to his identity as a Quint performer, is also an extremely skilled hypnotist. The strong psychological suggestion made him fall into an endless dream."
Leso took over the conversation again, and the two audience members, the Witch Doctor and Lady Louisa, unconsciously held their breath and focused their attention, "But we had an in-depth conversation with the members of the Sea Scorpion. Judging from their answers and reactions, Yamos does not have the ability to hypnotize..."
"So you two think that guy is not the murderer?"
Louisa licked her red lips, and her curvy body quietly tensed up.
"Amos and Arian from the Sea Scorpion Acrobatic Troupe are both innocent victims." Roy looked determined.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
The perpetrator is not Yamos, then who is it?
The witch doctor's curious eyes flickered back and forth between the demon hunter and Lady Louisa. He felt that these two groups of people were hiding something from him, and they did not seem to be on the same side.
"What about the third possibility?" After a long time, Louisa asked in a hoarse voice, half of her face buried in a dark corner where the sun could not shine.
"The last situation involves some secrets of La Valetti Castle..." Roy glanced at the witch doctor intentionally or unintentionally, "If possible, Mrs. Louisa, can we talk in private?"
The woman hesitated for a second or two, then smiled apologetically at the witch doctor, "Master Cecil, today's treatment is over... Please leave first, Sylvia will arrange accommodation for you, everything will continue as usual..."
"Two masters, do you not want to see me so much?" After hearing this, the wrinkles on the witch doctor's face deepened, "I showed you the prophecy, and this is how you repay me?"
"Your Excellency Cecil, what happens next is very important, and we don't want you to be implicated..." Roy said sincerely, then turned to Louisa, "You are really not satisfied, we will explain to you later."
The old man put his hands on his hips and reluctantly left the bedroom. There was a shouting in the corridor,
"Ms. Sylvia, you promised to entertain me well. Now please bring a goat baby over, mother! Go and get ready!"
……
The door is closed tightly to isolate the sound from outside.
"Boss, can we continue now?"
"Of course, dear madam, continuing the previous topic, the third possibility," the witcher said with a smile, "is related to a discovery we made in the garden."
Roy showed the Gwent card of the Northern Realm he was carrying, "This is the clue Yamos left before he was killed."
Louisa's brown eyes swept across the image of the majestic man with the crown on his head on the card, and her bright eyes were startled, "Two masters, you don't want to fool me. The accident that night had nothing to do with a queen. What’s the connection between special brands?”
"Madam, do you know this man?" the witcher asked.
"His Majesty King Foltest of Temeria!"
"Then we are now officially informing you that he is the murderer!" Roy and Lei Suo exchanged looks and spoke firmly.
"..."
Louisa took a deep breath, then frowned slightly and said displeasedly, "Don't you think it's ridiculous that you two masters forcibly gave the Lord of Temeria the title of a criminal? Not to mention that time period. , His Majesty is still dealing with military and state affairs in Vizima, and has no time to rush to the Barony of La Valetti. This statement is simply inexplicable!"
"We are not joking!" Roy said in a deep voice, "According to the investigation, Foltest once attended the banquet under the pseudonym Testav... Testav, do you still remember that Virgil? A distinguished guest from Malay."
Louisa's face turned pale and she lowered her head,
"We asked the maid in the castle about the time of Master Aryan's accident. His Majesty happened to have been in the garden, and he could not escape suspicion. And this Gwent card is conclusive evidence."
"The two masters have a misunderstanding——" Louisa intertwined her green fingers, and just as she was about to explain something, the witcher interrupted her.
"Madam, do you know that I am an old acquaintance with the princess of Vizima, Yada... To be precise, I saved her life."
Roy paces around Louisa,
"She mentioned to us that His Majesty the King left Vizima more than a month ago. Counting the time, it happened to coincide with the dinner at Chateau La Valette. Do you think this is a coincidence? Do you want to see you? My husband asked for confirmation. When a king travels, no matter how hidden he is, he will leave clues..."
The Baroness moved her red lips, but in the end she just sighed,
"Well... the two masters are indeed quite capable to investigate this far... You are right, Testav is the pseudonym of His Majesty Foltest. As for the reason, His Majesty and the master have a good relationship. Considering the vital strategic significance of the barony to Temeria, His Majesty came incognito to send blessings to the master’s little daughter. Isn’t it too much?”
Louisa bit her red lips, "But the murderer you say hurt Arian is definitely not His Majesty, I promise!"
"How do you know so well that you still dare to guarantee him?" Roy chased the woman's evasive eyes, "Did you, my dear Baroness, also go to the garden that night to have a tryst with Foltest?"
"Shut up!" the woman yelled sharply, changing her previous weak and haggard demeanor, raising her chin, her eyes gloomy as water, "I asked you to come here to save Arian, not to let you slander My good reputation!"
"Do you understand how serious the consequences will be if such nonsense is spread?"
Lesuo folded his hands on his chest and leaned against the wall to admire his disciple's on-the-spot performance.
And Roy shook his head and sighed, "Considering the consequences? But why, according to the confession of the castle maid, at that time, only Foltest and you had the opportunity to commit the crime?"
"This is slander. Do you have conclusive evidence? Show me, except for a ridiculous Gwent card - who knows if the two of you put it there intentionally?" The Baroness was hoarse, but she heard someone outside the door. There was movement, and she suppressed her voice again.
"Evidence?" The witcher shook his head, "What you did just now is the best evidence...and, do you think, if we tell the Baron this amazing discovery, will he believe us?"
The woman's facial features suddenly tightened, and her elegant temperament was gone. She knew very well that this kind of dirty business, even if it was just a false rumor, as long as the old and frail but possessive man heard about it, he would definitely do it. Get to the bottom of it and find out the facts.
The La Valette family is neither short of money nor soldiers, but its majesty and face cannot be violated.
In fact, according to the normal development trajectory, Baron La Valetti will eventually break with Foltest, and one of the triggers is that Louisa and Foltest were broken up and failed. An affair that is strongly denied.
"Witchers, what are you going to do?" Louisa tried her best to suppress her voice and asked, "What's the benefit of forcing and threatening a weak woman?"
"Madam, I don't mean to irritate you, I just want to know the facts. What happened in the garden that night, so that the Sea Scorpion Acrobatic Troupe and my friends suffered unfair injustice?!"
Roy continued to take a step closer to her, and Louisa took a step back, "As long as you answer truthfully, we promise not to leak this secret to anyone else... Otherwise, the first person we contact after we investigate the garden will Not you, but the Baron."
After hearing this, Louisa's pretty face turned pale, a few beads of cold sweat appeared on her temples, her back slowly pressed against the edge of the bed, her fingers clasped in front of her chin, her knuckles trembling.
Roy's next words completely overwhelmed her psychological defense.
"To be honest, we have a special seal that can turn a person into an obedient puppet and reveal the truth to us, but it is really harmful to torture a noble baroness in this way. Daya...that’s why we patiently communicated with you, but you are too stubborn.”
Roy stared closely at the discolored woman and took another step closer to her. "The demon hunter also has a hand to prove whether there is a blood relationship between a father and a daughter. This is not difficult. It only takes a few times." Steps, first——"
"Stop!" the Baroness said dejectedly, "Two masters, you win! I will tell you everything, all the facts...but no, no more threats."
The woman finally raised her head and took a deep look at the witcher. There was complaint and fear in her eyes, but there was also a hint of relief.
Then she checked the door repeatedly to make sure there were no outsiders nearby, and cursed under her breath.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have let you into the castle in the first place!"
……
"Just as you guessed..." Marie Louisa La Valetti began to gently wipe Arian's face with a wet towel again, as if to contain the panic in her heart, "That night, I I made an appointment with His Majesty Foltest to meet in the garden..."
"Madam." Roy interrupted, "When did you get in touch with His Majesty the King?"
Louisa said angrily, "Are you going to take away the last bit of dignity from a poor mother?"
The two of them still had straight faces and turned a blind eye. Roy knew very well that this beautiful woman had superb skills and was simply a female diplomat.
"That's all, last fall, at the baron's bear hunting party... His Majesty saw me for the first time..." A flash of memory flashed through Louisa's brown pupils, and her face was actually a little sweet, "I didn't Considering that he is such a domineering person, there is no way he can refuse!"
"Wait, it started last fall?" The two demon hunters exchanged glances and secretly sighed, "Just over a year has passed, and Miss Anais was born... Wow, Foltest is really A 'powerful' man."
This romantic king has a very unique taste. He was criticized for giving birth to Princess Yada, and he also fell in love with the wife of his subordinate.
Isn't he afraid that the old baron will become angry and turn around and throw himself into the arms of King Radovid of Redania?
"Next, what happened to you in the garden?"
"You don't know about the things between men and women?" Louisa sarcastically said,
Roy touched his nose. It was exciting to think about the tryst between a married woman and a respected king in the garden at night.
"But the kid Arian and the acrobat didn't come early or late, but they entered the garden at that critical moment... accidentally eavesdropped on the conversation between me and His Majesty, and learned His Majesty's true identity."
"Arian has followed the way of chivalry since he was a child. His style is decent and he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. At that time, he rushed out to confront my unqualified mother..."
The Baroness' face showed deep pain and shame for a moment, "I was stunned, my mind was in a mess, I couldn't think of how to explain it, Arian...he ran out of the garden angrily!"
"You didn't lie?" Roy asked, "Just let Arian leave like this, aren't you afraid that he will reveal the scandal to his father?"
"What else can I do?" Louisa almost roared at the witcher, "Do you want a mother to hurt her own flesh and blood?"
"I just hope he can calm down... and care about the relationship between mother and son, and don't do anything too cruel and tell his father the truth."
"So, what happens to Arian after that has nothing to do with you?"
Louisa shook her head in pain, "Maybe I should really follow him, and nothing will happen to him... But the second witness, Amos, is a bigger trouble, and we have to deal with him first."
Roy was even more confused. This was completely different from what they had imagined. "Could it be that Amos's disappearance and Arian's coma were two independent incidents?"
"How did you deal with Yamos?" Roy asked, "I have been in contact with this guy. Although his temper and behavior are disgusting, he is not worthy of death. Where did you hide him? Don't tell I ran away on my own!"
"Quint performer Amos," the Baroness lowered her eyes and spoke in a gloomy tone, "this greedy guy, His Majesty has already promised to give him a large amount of money, enough to be a rich man for a lifetime, as long as he is honest Keep it secret... But he was not satisfied, and actually used this as a reason to blackmail His Majesty, asking Your Majesty to grant him the status of a noble!"
"Witcher, don't you think it's ridiculous," Louisa's tone was full of contempt, "A wandering, low-status acrobat performer actually expects to become a knight in one step!"
"His ugly face made us completely give up... His Majesty Foltest has always only accepted negotiations, never threats. So he pretended to agree to his request, leaned over, and stabbed his stomach with a dagger. Finally..."
"Strangle him with the amulet!" Fear flashed in Louisa's eyes.
"But despite all our calculations, we didn't expect that this cunning thing would actually leave a Gwent card in advance as a clue, allowing the two of them to catch the trap!" the Baroness said weakly.
"Foltest~IndoMTL.com~ is so cruel."
Roy sighed, shocked by the decisiveness of the king of a country, but relieved in an instant.
There is no doubt that Foltest's experience before becoming king was even more cruel. Without a heart of stone, he would not have reached the height he is today.
"Where did the body go?" Lei Suo asked confused, "You poured dirty water on Yamos, how could you properly dispose of his body in less than half an hour?"
"There are times when a witcher can't guess?" The baron's wife breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with a hint of pride, "The yard is full of flower beds, where else is there a suitable place to bury a body?"
