The Divine Hunter Chapter 20: Speculations and visitors in the dark night

Dark secret room.

The witcher stared at the image crystal in the telescope, dazed.

"The ruthless Ortolan, a master in the field of biological modification who is more than 300 years old, ended up sacrificing himself for his wife and children. It is really ironic."

This was completely contrary to his speculation. He did not expect such a tortuous story behind it.

"Seeing and reasoning may not necessarily be true. It taught me a lesson."

But he had mixed feelings about the master.

In order to save his wife, he brutally tortured and killed four innocent lives. Ortolan based his salvation on the despair of others. His behavior was completely wrong. This is a kind of twisted love!

But another voice told the witcher that Ortolan had already paid for his life, and it was a fair deal.

But how can money be equated with life?

Roy shook his head to eliminate the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Focus on the present, the most important purpose of his trip - to find out the news and whereabouts of Idalan from the laboratory.

"According to the analysis of the last paragraph, Idalan provided a method to destroy both body and soul. Ortolan should have left Indarsfell Island to meet him, but unfortunately the exact location was not mentioned."

"Did Ortolan finally get what he wanted?"

Did the great mage and the evil spirit called "Dat" die together?

What exactly does the method provided by Idalan refer to? ”

Sinners, destroy body and soul...

Roy felt a strange familiarity.

Just a few months ago, the experience of Mayena north of Soden reappeared in my mind - the criminal grain merchant was annihilated by the red energy field, and his servant Mato was even killed in front of Roy. The red flame burned most of it.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it became that the whereabouts of the four great masters were secretive, and the red light appeared without warning. Even the masters of the Druid Circle could not find a clue.

"Let's assume that Mayena's series of anomalies are all the work of Idalan and the four great masters."

"The reason why they go to the battlefield and collect souls is also for the noble ideal of purifying the evil in the world?"

But this is too naive and idealistic!

If there is good in this world, there must be evil. The two exist relatively. Extreme good or extreme evil is an imbalance in the world in Roy's opinion.

The witcher took a deep breath and did not continue to delve deeper. If Idalan could not be found, his hypothesis was useless!

……

Five minutes later, he loaded the four corpses into the storage space, took off the silk bag containing the money notes, hesitated for a while, and returned the objects to their original places.

Take the guardian pendant on the magic seal door and leave the secret room.

A crescent moon rose into the night sky, and the moonlight shined through the gaps in the forest and reflected on the entire pond.

"Ah, baby, my mead, come here and let me kiss your little mouth again."

The young tour guide hugged the willow tree and squirmed and kissed it... He said a series of sweet words, drooling from his mouth, and seemed to regard the willow tree as the lover of his dreams.

The demon hunter shook his head and smiled, used his steel sword to dig through the soil and dug a large hole nearby, and buried the four dead in a safe place.

After a snap of fingers.

"Um...I, what happened to me just now?" Clotte wiped the foul-smelling saliva from the corner of his mouth and the snot blown out by the night wind, looked at the moon in the sky with a confused face, and scratched his sore crotch. .

"The young man's sleep quality is quite good..." The witcher nodded at him, "You can also fall asleep sitting by the pond. You sleep deeply and soundly, so I won't disturb you."

"Sorry, I must have walked too much with you today. I almost became a lame and was so tired. By the way, what did you find?"

Roy thought for a while and nodded.

"I found the mark left by Ortolan. He has returned to Long Asset and continues to be his own rich man. I'm afraid he has married another wife."

"Let me just say, that guy is just a playboy!"

……

The soft moonlight shrouded the village of Lovoten, as if a bright mist was surging between the houses and roads.

Dogs barking and insects chirping came from the yard.

A quiet and peaceful farmhouse style.

Roy came outside the red house again, but this time he didn't knock on the door. He looked inside through the gap in the window. The bright yellow firelight showed a warm home - with his hair **** and his clothes hanging down. Ava, the hostess in a gray apron, was stirring the iron pot on the campfire with a smile. The aroma of meat and vegetables floated out of the window along with the boiling heat.

Another tall man wearing a simple linen coat was beside her, lifting the swaddled baby high, with a happy and happy smile on his honest face.

"Haha, Asa, do you miss daddy?" He poked the baby's little nose and rubbed the baby's delicate little face with the rough stubble on his chin.

"Giggle..."

"Be gentle!" the woman said coquettishly, "Poke Asaph into a flat nose and he will not be able to find a wife in the future!"

"Haha, as long as he learns the fishing skills from me, he will never worry about marrying a wife!"

"What's the point of being a fisherman all your life? Aren't you still single when you are thirty? You are the stupidest in the village!"

"Nonsense! Didn't I marry a beautiful woman like you? She is clever and virtuous. This is all the wise arrangement of God Freya!"

The shy blush flashed across the woman's face, her beauty was astonishing.

"Honey, look, the little guy is smiling at me. He's so cute. Hey, uh--are you trying to keep daddy? I promise, I'll stay at home to play with you tomorrow!"

"Giggle!"

The demon hunter looked at the warm scene in the house in silence, his eyes passing over the bright smiling faces of the men and women in the house, his heart felt inexplicably sore, and the night wind made his back feel cold.

"Ava, you will never know what price the man you hate and can never forget has paid and what sacrifices he has made for you and your children. But you can just live happily without knowing anything. ”

Asaph is just an ordinary baby with no magical talent, so there is no need to know the twisted story behind it.

The witchers don't want to break their peaceful life.

After thinking about it, he quietly reached into the wooden guardrail of the window with his right hand and placed the priceless but inconspicuous necklace on the window sill.

Turn around and leave without any regret.

……

"By the way, dear, where is the necklace around the child's neck?"

"Ah? I remember I took it off for him, scrubbed it, and dried it by the window sill. Let me look for it?"

"Found it! It's really here, let me tell you!" The woman held the necklace, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes noticed two figures quickly disappearing in the night, one of them was wearing a black The cloak looks lonely and ethereal.

"Who is that guy next to Clotte?" The man walked up behind the woman and gently hugged her slender waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and kissed her slender neck gently,

"I don't know, he's probably a tourist from out of town. Don't be careless, let go of me, it's time to eat!"

"Hey, I want to eat you first!"

……

"Bang!"

Hops are flying.

In the Lobster Tavern, a bonfire is burning in the center of the hall, and the dancing sparks illuminate the red and drunken faces.

Three huge mugs collided fiercely in mid-air. The sparkling wine foam and the sweet aroma of mead were accompanied by the sound of gulping.

"Uh-" A **** hairy hand hung the empty wine glass upside down, and Aggie narrowed his eyes and looked at the demon hunter opposite and his old friend who was sweating profusely.

"Mr. Linus Pitt, thank you for the drink. If you have any questions in Indalsfell in the future, just come to me," he promised, patting his plush chest. Of course, except for the Ortolan matter, I have told you everything I can say!"

"And you kid..." The big man pushed Clotte on the shoulder, "Take Mr. Linus on a good trip these two days, and don't think about cheating him out of money to get him to shop!"

"Don't slander my character! Hier..." the tour guide roared with a red face, carefully looking at the demon hunter. "I am an innocent child, and I provide customers with the best service on the entire island!"

"By the way, Mr. Linus has found the whereabouts of Ortolan, how long do you plan to stay?" Clotte looked at him, his mouth smelling of garlic lobster, "Continue traveling tomorrow? Travel all over India I am also familiar with Dalsfell, other islands, Faroe Island, and Skellige."

Roy shook his head with a gloomy expression, "I'll leave tomorrow. After meeting Yank, I can give good news to the orphan and widowed couple."

Even in a busy tavern, the man's ghost-like face always flashed before his eyes.

A cruel act.

But there is self-sacrificing love.

The most important thing is that he has not found the whereabouts of Idalan, and his heart seems to be weighed down by a huge stone, which is so blocked that he urgently needs to vent!

"You don't seem to be happy? Because Ortolan... According to me, don't think about that big cheating businessman. In a few days, it will be June 21st and the Summer Solstice Festival, and the islands will hold a traditional Holiday dance," Clotte said with excitement, "A handsome man like you might be able to pick up a few rich girls from the capital or women from the archipelago for free."

"Although our sea girls have big frames, they are not as petite and exquisite as those on the northern continent, and their skin is exposed to wind and sun all year round, and is not as delicate as land women, but that wild energy, that rich voluptuousness, haha, if you can understand After a while, you will understand what kind of woman is truly the best woman! Stay a few more days to relax, you will never regret it!"

Tour guides try their best to drum up business.

Roy nodded with deep sympathy, Coral was born in the Skellige Islands.

"Why wait until the holiday dance to pick up girls?" Aggie's narrowed eyes looked at the bar on the other side, where three maids in brown aprons stood side by side, looking around with smiles and moist eyes. Keep spreading the eyes.

Compared with the women in mainland taverns, they are taller, with very obvious features, bulging front and back, and bold smiles.

"As long as you are willing to spend some money... you can be the groom now..." The guard fanned himself with his big furry hands and scratched the chest hair that naughtily came out of his pajamas, "I will scare off Mokwager's viciousness with my pair. Judging by your eyes, the Mary in the middle is definitely suitable for you, spicy enough, but not too wild, and your small body can bear it!"

Roy shook his head and turned his gaze to the circle with a radius of five meters next to the bonfire. Two stout, red-faced Skellige men began to fight with fists and fists due to their drunkenness.

Every time a punch hits the opponent, sweat, wine, blood, and blood splash at the same time, dripping with joy.

The light from the bonfire illuminated the crazy-looking faces next to them.

There were more than ten onlookers, all of them drunk and tough Skellige men. They circled the competition circle, shouting, waving wine glasses, and throwing coins into the circle to cheer them up.

The tavern was as noisy as boiling water.

Cheers and curses echoed endlessly, and the huge shock seemed to tear the roof off.

Beside the circle, a man who looked like a referee was spitting at the contestants and waving to them, or separating the opponents who were tightly hugging each other.

"Are they competing?"

"You haven't heard of it? The Skellige Islands Fist of Wrath Competition, Indalsfell Island Audition... The winner can go to the next stop, Keldro Port on the Great Skellige Island, to challenge..." Aiji Staring over there with fiery eyes, "Anyone with some courage and strength will not miss this great challenge. He won again and again, passed the test, and finally entered Queen Bina's arena, participated in the finals, and defeated the invincible Ou Raph, become the hero of Skellige! Unfortunately, I only lasted two games and was eliminated."

"Don't look at me." Clotte shook his head, "I'm not good at boxing. If I go up there, I'm afraid I'll be torn into pieces!"

"Breathe, breathe..." Roy drank a glass of mead in one breath, exhaling heavily from his nose, his eyes flashing with cold light. He took off the toad sunglasses and thick black cloak on his face, and his brown leather armor revealed his streamlined and slender figure. body.

As for the set of enchanted plate armor, it had been dented by an anchor from the Ice Giant and needed to be repaired.

"Keep an eye on things for me." The demon hunter raised his head.

With a sound of "Ouch", a man as strong as a bear covered his dark panda eyes and sat down wailing outside the arena. The winner in the circle, with his naked upper body covered in oil and sweat, raised his hands wrapped in white bandages. fist, looking around fiercely, his expression full of provocation.

The eyes convey a message——

Who else, who else?

The cheers from the audience were muted, and no one stepped out.

The witcher walked straight into the crowd.

"Professor Linus, pay attention to defense and take care!"

Clote and Aggie noticed the demon hunter's heterochromatic pupils and couldn't help but tremble.

Professor or a witcher?

Someone is in trouble!

Next, an extremely astonishing scene unfolded in the Cane Toad Tavern, which was brightly lit and bustling with people.

"Ouch!"

A big man with a red nose and black fur rose into the air like a sandbag and flew out of the field, shaking off a big yellow tooth.

The onlookers had their mouths open.

The physical fitness of Skellige men generally exceeds that of northerners, but unfortunately it cannot be compared with the demon hunters. In the eyes of onlookers, his steps are as nimble as a ghost floating in mid-air, and his strength is as strong as a rock troll.

There is no close match at all.

"Victor, Linus Pitt, professor and witcher from Oxenfurt, is there anyone else? Who else is there?" The referee half-crouched like a crab and waved wildly at the onlookers, "Where are the brave men of Skellige? Are you going to hand over the honor of the winner to a witcher? Are you scared to death by his beastly eyes?"

"I'll do it!" A man with a hooked nose and pointed chin stepped into the competition circle.

Two seconds later, he covered his swollen left face and fell straight to the ground like a stick, losing consciousness.

"Come again! Children of the sea, men of Skellige, don't stay outside the circle and be a coward! Let him see the violent storms and turn him into a vegetable!" The referee spat, and he was furious,

"We must not let mutants ride on our heads!" A burly man who was seven feet tall, weighed more than two hundred pounds, walked into the circle and shouted, "God bless Freya! I'm here to help Look how awesome you are!"

After the big man swore his cruel words, just as the referee finished counting down, everyone's eyes were blurred, and the demon hunters in the circle lunged forward with lightning speed.

The body transforms into a strong wind!

The fist easily passed through the boxing frame he was defending and hit the soft flesh between the big man's chest and abdomen.

"Poof!"

The big man curled up like a cooked lobster, opened his mouth and sprayed wildly.

"Wow..."

The wine and the half-digested lobster meat and dried salted fish in the stomach drew a wonderful bright yellow arc in mid-air.

The referee and the audience got wet all over their heads and faces.

"Hiccup...I feel good..." The big man burped with a drunken look in his eyes,

Amidst the strange smell of fermentation, a series of angry roars sounded.

While the witcher stood outside the dirt, his heterochromatic irises swept across the crowd, as sharp as a knife. Although the Skellige man who was swept by his eyes breathed fire, he lowered his head unconsciously.

They respect the strong.

……

"A bunch of cowards, is there anyone else who wants to challenge?" The referee wiped the stains from his face with a pale face, and no one came forward.

"I announce that the winner of today's challenge is Linus Pitt! Congratulations, buddy, tomorrow ~IndoMTL.com~ you can go to Little Skellige Island to participate in the next Fist of Wrath challenge!"

"Linus Pitt!" Another man with a flushed face and a fur cloak picked up a barrel of mead and put it on the wine cabinet. "You won the boxing match. Do you dare to have a drinking contest with me!"

"How to compare?"

"A few of us," several strong men from the archipelago looked at each other and smiled, "challenge you!"

"What you asked for!" The demon hunter was not afraid to look at them happily. Today, he didn't want to care about anything and would only rest after getting drunk!

……

At the same time.

North of the brightly lit tavern, dozens of miles away on the sea.

Like monsters lurking in the night, the two dragon boats swam quietly across the sea, breaking through the waves, and sailed towards Indalsfell Island in the distance.

The moonlight fell on the dark ship, and the sword blades, axes, and armor plates reflected the cold light.
