The Divine Hunter Chapter 20: The Promise of “7 Cats”

"Vicky, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

In the courtyard of Gawain's house, nineteen orphans surrounded the frightened girl. Their sincere little faces were almost all over her body, and pairs of dark eyes flashed with worry.

"Does it still hurt here?" A little girl with braids and two missing front teeth held her friend's hand in her arms and breathed hot air against the bruises on the back of her hand.

"It's okay, Renee, it doesn't hurt at all..." Vicky shook her head, feeling warm in her heart. She looked around with emotion and said loudly, "Didn't you see Teacher Oaks showing off his power? I was caught when I was taken out of the woods and beaten until my nose was black and my face was swollen."

"Who is that bastard?!"

"Maybe a trafficker?"

"We have to help Vicky vent her anger!"

A commotion broke out among the boys.

The five reserve demon hunter apprentices, headed by Carl, Monty and Chanem, emerged from the pile of children with fierce looks on their faces, rushed to Vicky, and announced loudly,

"That 'human trafficker' dares to bully you. We must beat him up again!"

"Let him look for teeth everywhere!"

"Cry louder than a baby!"

In the heart of a young boy.

It is also their responsibility to protect their companions in the orphanage, especially the beautiful girls!

"Yes, you guys are the strongest, you run fast, and you usually learn stick dancing from the teacher!"

A girl with ear-length hair and a few freckles on her nose echoed, waving her pink fist excitedly.

"You can defeat him if you work together!"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's not a wooden stick, that's a training sword. We're practicing swordsmanship!"

Karl explained anxiously, and suddenly he covered his forehead with an "ouch".

"Little bastard, who do you want to hit? This guy with thin arms and short legs, do you want to tickle him?"

Vesemir quietly appeared in the courtyard.

The children immediately exploded like a swarm and quickly formed a neat queue, heads held high and full of energy!

Even Vicki is no exception.

No one ran off their shoes this time.

Amber's pupils slowly swept across the small faces. The old man admired their reaction speed and secretly thought that the Brotherhood's training method had two brushes.

On the surface, it remains calm.

"Children, starting from today, all stay in the classroom...no going out without permission. No entering the woods!"

"Teacher, what should we do with that bad guy and human trafficker?!" Monty raised his hand.

"He will receive the punishment he deserves!" Vesemir glanced at the closed wooden door behind him, worry flashed in his eyes.

"Now, the five of you go out..." The old man smiled brightly, "Practice the 'stick dance' with me, and start the plow!"

"The rest return to the classroom and review yesterday's lesson!"

"Prepare for the exam!"

……

Dark secret room.

The flickering candlelight illuminated a thin and dull face.

The man was tied to a chair. In front of him was an old, blackened wooden table with tweezers, scalpels and other torture instruments.

Several men with wild beast eyes surrounded him.

"Name?"

"Jurgen."

"Age?"

"Forty-two."

"What is your identity and where do you come from?"

"Bounty hunter, from Nimna..."

"Nimna is a city northeast of Novigrad," Aiden, who was familiar with the terrain, explained to his companions, "it belongs to Redania."

Serrit maintained the Yaksi seal in the air with his left hand and continued to ask, his deep voice like thunder, "What is your purpose of hiding in the alder forest? Why did you kidnap the child?"

"Well..." The man shook his head, a ray of light flashing in his blank black pupils.

The expression showed a trace of struggle.

"Don't tell me, it doesn't matter. We have more time to play slowly." Oaks picked up a scalpel on the table and turned it around a few times. Silver lightning hovered at his fingertips.

But he didn't get a chance to show off his skills.

Jurgen spoke intermittently, "I accepted the commission... to keep an eye on the orphanage... and take the opportunity to capture a girl."

The five demon hunters present looked fiercely.

The orphanage is the root of the brotherhood, there must be no mistakes!

"Could it be those traffickers who kill a thousand people?" Lambert pondered.

"One student can't feed those wolves," Leisuo shook his head. "They would never make such a move if they wanted to take action."

"Why are you taking that girl away? Where are you going to send her?" Seret then asked, "Who are you connecting with?"

"Send to the southeastern suburbs of Nuo City, in the alley behind the Seven Cats Hotel, and hand it over to the employer...the employer, I don't know the name or identity."

"What does he look like?"

"Male in his thirties, about 1.8 meters tall, very fat, over 200 pounds, auburn hair, flat nose, small eyes, white skin, no beard..."

The five demon hunters present looked thoughtful, but they couldn't remember where they had seen this face.

"No matter who this **** is, if he dares to attack Gawain's house, his claws must be chopped off!" Oakes roared and punched the table hard.

"That would be too cheap for him," Lambert said in a high voice with the scar on the left side of his face glowing red, "I'm going to send him to see the ghoul! Watch him be torn into pieces!"

Although they have not been together for a long time, the demon hunters have already regarded the children in the orphanage as villains.

……

As he watched, Aiden was eager to try.

There is a rare opportunity to join forces with several witchers.

He also wanted to see the actual combat effectiveness of the Brotherhood members.

"Calm down, guys." Seret continued to ask, "When will we meet?"

"One week later..."

Serrit asked the confused Jurgen about the contact code, whether there were any companions hidden elsewhere, and how much the reward would be.

Then let him fall asleep.

"It seems that we have relaxed our vigilance too much recently... we actually let such a little mouse sneak around for half a month." Seret shook his head and sneered, "You are quite brave. For the reward of three hundred crowns, Dare to break into the 'dragon''s lair. I'm really tired of living."

In fact, if more than ten demon hunters cooperate, they can kill a green dragon without any problem, so they are more dangerous than the giant dragon.

And there are no jewels or diamonds in their lair.

In every respect, invading the witcher's hometown was a wrong and stupid decision.

"What do you think?"

"Perhaps it was a mission assigned by the Beggar King or the Butcher..." Oaks rubbed his chin and guessed, "We tried to keep a low profile, but local snakes still found clues. They can't just sit back and watch the Witcher grow?"

"It's not necessarily the gang that did it. Don't forget the other force," Reso said. "The Church of Eternal Fire is more on guard against the demon hunters, and the Butcher or the Beggar King at least maintains a peace agreement with us. , it is unlikely that he will suddenly fall out."

"I don't think so." Seret shook his head, "The Eternal Fire's attitude towards demon hunters is far from the level of abhorrence towards shapeshifters. Stealing a child? It's not in line with the Eternal Fire's style at all. ."

"Ahem, guys, I also have an idea..." Aiden interjected, "In addition to the Beggar King, Butcher, and Eternal Fire you mentioned, it may also be the Novigrad City Council who is playing tricks. ."

"You should have some experience, more or less, that many members of the upper class dislike and hate demon hunters for no reason, and wish to get rid of us as soon as possible."

In the prophecy Aiden heard from Lambert, he died due to the tricks of a group of nobles.

He had to be cautious.

The atmosphere in the room was a little quiet for a while.

Before this, the demon hunters did not pay attention, but now they are calculating carefully.

There are indeed many potential enemies in Nuo City.

The Eternal Fire, the City Council, the Beggar King and the Butcher.

No matter which organization turns against them, they cannot be dismissed easily.

"We must be prepared for both." Leisuo touched his shiny bald head, "Contact Lord Gawain, listen to his opinions, prepare for the worst, and formulate a plan to jointly defend against the enemy."

Amber's pupils glanced at the sleeping man, "Secondly, we must make this guy submissive, and then use the trick to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and see who he is and what his intentions are!"

"It's just that I haven't been able to move my muscles for a long time..." Oakes grinned, showing his white teeth, and cracked his fingers, "Then it will be like dealing with Alphonse Manor again!"

"If you want to take action, count me in!" Aiden's reddish-brown pupils shimmered~IndoMTL.com~The burn under his thin lips became more and more ferocious,

"Use your little brains! In a civilized society, we will use civilized methods!" Seret retorted,

"If the last **** incident happens again, in Nuocheng, we will become wanted criminals who everyone wants to beat!" He changed the topic,

"Even if we have to take action, we must control the battle within a certain range, and the impact cannot be too bad."

"After all, we are no longer alone, the orphanage must continue to grow!"

"Then do you want to call Roy, Eskar, and Cat Vulture back?" Lambert asked.

"It's okay for now..." Lei Suo pondered for a moment, "Everyone, please work harder. There will be multiple people keeping vigil at night... Say hello to the children and don't enter the woods recently."

"Take good care of your children at home! Think of a way out."

"I will pay a visit to Lord Gawain in the afternoon."
