The Divine Hunter Chapter 20: Pattern

A market on a cloudy day.

Roy's left hand with protruding veins tightly held the slender neck of the white goose, and the other hand held a short knife with a sharp and thin top, aiming at the arteries on the neck of the white goose, swiping across it like lightning. .

Blood spurted into the ground like spring water, and the barrel was mostly filled with thick blood clots.

He breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the information in the template:

……

Roy has been working in the market for half a month. Since he only works there in the morning, he kills an average of 20 poultry every day. The cumulative number has undergone a qualitative change. His killing skill has finally been upgraded from LV2 to LV3. It was worth noting that he had been inhaling the smell of poultry feces and urine for half a month.

In more than half a month, I also earned 25 crowns and 300 experience points.

The cypress stem fruits and dandelion sunflowers he has been swallowing have completely lost their effect. The two weakest attributes, strength and physique, have been strengthened to the level of a normal person 5, which is reflected in the body. Compared with leaving the card He had grown 2 inches (5cm) when he was in Yecun, reaching a height of 5 to 6 inches (1.68 meters). There was a faint outline of muscles under his clothes, and his body shape changed from thin to well-proportioned.

He already has strength and physique that is not inferior to that of an adult. The facial features became more sharp and angular, and he gained a bit of the heroic spirit of a young man.

After the blood is drained, the goose is soaked in boiling hot water, its feathers are plucked, its internal organs are removed, and the treatment is completed. It was noon, so Roy put down his knife, took off his apron, cleaned up the dirt on his body, said hello to old Ruel, who was dozing in the chair next to him, and left the market for Kadell House.

……

Roy found Vivien in the yard with a pretty face and was dripping with sweat, and handed over a bag of herbs he had prepared.

"Roy, what is this?" Vivien caught the bag, her pretty face full of confusion.

"Honeysuckle is a kind of herbal medicine. Drinking a little bit of it in water every day is very good for a woman's health. You know I work in Tros's herbal shop, so it's very convenient to get this thing."

"Why did you suddenly give me a gift?"

"This is a thank you gift. Thank you for your care during this time. It has really solved a lot of my troubles. If you don't accept it, I will feel bad." Roy said seriously.

Vivien fell silent after hearing this, "Roy, listen, I'm not helping you for a gift."

"I can feel it. But what is the reason?" Roy asked, "Sister Vivien, I have always been curious, why do you pay special attention to me and help me review, just like... a biological sister ."

Vivien suddenly took a deep breath, and couldn't help pinching her burgundy hair with her fingers. A trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said faintly, "You are right. I... have a younger brother, and you It makes me feel very friendly and very similar to him. Therefore, I occasionally have the illusion that you are him."

Roy was surprised when he heard this. He had never seen Vivien's brother in school, and he had never heard anyone mention it.

Is it possible that he is no longer here?

And the other party’s tone is weird, a little uncertain?

"How old is your brother? Did he go to school at Caddell House before?" Roy asked again,

This time Vivian didn't answer. She glanced at the wall clock outside the door and changed the subject, "It's time, we should enter the classroom."

"Okay." Since the other party didn't want to mention it, Roy didn't expose the scar. But it was as if a thorn had been planted in his heart, and he had a desire to explore this matter.

In the evening, Vivien uncharacteristically did not persuade him to continue reviewing after class. Perhaps the conversation at noon touched her sensitive nerves.

……

At night, in the small warehouse next to the mill, a man and a woman on the haystack were whispering under the light of candlelight,

"Toya...do you remember the ten words I taught you yesterday?"

"Yes, I remember." Under the firelight, the hunchbacked girl wrinkled her nose, her small round face tightened tightly, and her big dark eyes were full of expectation and nervousness. .

"As usual, let me test you first by writing the four words bread, fish, potatoes and morning."

The girl lowered her head when she heard the words, lifted up the hay on the ground, held the crude charcoal pen tightly with her little hands covered with frostbite and calluses, and then drew the trembling pen tip across the uneven ground, quickly sketching out a pattern. The characters are arranged crookedly.

"Well, not bad..." The black-haired boy checked and praised without hesitation, "Toya, you are really smart, no, you are smarter than most people! Especially those kids who like to bully you. Bastard, those idiots have no right to laugh at you.

The hunchbacked girl's pale cheeks were stained with a blush from his praise, "I... No, that's not right. You taught me well, Roy, and all this is your credit."

"Keep your head up, Toya, you should be more confident."

Listening to this encouragement, the girl couldn't help but straighten her chest and tighten her abdomen. Although her huge hunchback made her figure very weird, the corners of her face and mouth were slightly curved, showing a rare smile, even though she hadn't smiled for a long time. Gotta be a little stiff.

Roy's voice paused, "Have those little brats come to harass you again during this period?"

"No."

"Remember my words, if they dare to come again, you will hit them hard with a broom. You can't always submit to them. This will only encourage their arrogance. ~IndoMTL.com~ You can't defeat them alone, then When I come back, we will come to their door together and beat them up."

Roy approached her with harsh words, and their shoulders touched each other.

After more than ten days of getting along, the girl has become accustomed to normal contact and no longer reacts as violently as she did at the beginning.

"Put aside the daily language today, let's learn something new." Roy opened the haystack and wrote "Temeria", "Gorsi Velen", "Temeria", "Gorsi Velen", The four words "Xianide Island" and "Aretusha".

"Roy, who drew a five-pointed star on your sleeve and only half of it?" Toya's attention was attracted by a pattern on his left sleeve, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

Roy glanced at, or rather, half of a dark five-pointed star painted with charcoal pencil. He was lost in thought.

"I don't remember..." Roy thought hard for a while and shook his head, "Maybe it was a naughty kid from Cardell House who secretly painted it on me while I wasn't paying attention."

“Today, let’s talk about Temeria, a country in the north of Aedirn. Temeria and Edsberg are separated by a Mahakam... Toya, you don’t want to go to another country. Let’s go and travel.”

"Ah...I, can I?" The girl's body trembled, her dark eyes filled with fear and expectation, and she shook her head desperately, "No, I haven't left for many years. Temeria is too far away from the mill. I have to feed the chickens, water the flowers, and sweep the floor every day. I am busy with endless tasks, and Henk and Oona won't let me leave."

"You're just imagining it," Roy rolled his index finger beside his head. "It's impossible for them to read what's in your mind."

Toya's eyes gradually became brighter.
