The Divine Hunter Chapter 21: Gao Wen’s suggestion
"Hiss——"
In the laboratory under the temple island, a man with a slender figure and a thin shirt revealing his well-proportioned muscles was lying on the operating table.
He curled up into a ball, clutching his lower abdomen and trembling all over, his teeth chattering. The tremors were centered on his chest and abdomen, and spread like waves to the tips of his fingers and even to the hairs.
The man's originally handsome face was covered with sweat, dripping down, and the operating table was soaked through.
The facial features were distorted by pain, and his eyes were closed tightly. He seemed to be biting his teeth into pieces, exposing his scarlet gums.
The skin color is red as if it has been scalded with boiling water.
The blood vessels under the skin wriggle like loaches in the clay.
Beside the operating table, a gorgeous woman in a black gauze skirt gently patted his back with one hand and touched his hot forehead with the other.
The flawless face of Guazi is inlaid with a pair of charming almond eyes, as blue as the sky, and the charming red lips are tightly pursed.
The pretty face is full of worry and intolerance.
Originally, according to the established procedures, Roy should have been allowed to suffer the torment of the Shivering Virus alone.
Seeing his uncomfortable look, Rita Nied couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Let me help you relieve some pain."
"No! Don't!" The man suddenly regained his consciousness and turned his face sideways with difficulty. A firm look flashed through his dark gold pupils, and he gave her a reassuring look, trembling like a hand stretched out from hot water. He held her little hand.
"Coral...believe me, I can survive it!"
Roy felt bitter, but he had to get through it, so that the raging virus could completely destroy his immunity. Only then can his body be in the "most tolerant" attitude to receive the transformation of the flying lion monster's green herbal medicine.
But his originally strong physique became a liability at this step.
And this is the first of three viruses.
Everyone in the Witcher Brotherhood is working hard...how could I fail?
"Breathe in..."
Roy's cheeks were deformed in pain, sweat seeped out from under his red skin like a fountain, and every muscle wriggled and cramped like an earthworm.
I couldn’t tell whether it was sweat or tears that formed a tear trough on my lower eyelid.
He bared his teeth, his mind sank into the template, and his life collapsed).
Activate!
Shua——
The health value instantly increased by 51 points.
A chill fell from Tianling Gaier and poured into his limbs. The pain was greatly relieved. He was so comfortable that he turned over on the operating table, making an indistinct "Uh-huh" sound and rolling his eyes. A thrill from head to toe.
The witcher showed his neat white teeth and a relaxed smile.
"Leave the children of Gawain's house to my brother's protection!"
"Leave the mutation to me!"
……
In a luxurious villa in a wealthy area of Nuo City.
Gawain Samsa, dressed in a purple silk robe, was leisurely sipping tea in the living room on the second floor, waiting for the swordsmanship lessons every weekend.
Although he is not proficient in swordsmanship, he enjoys the feeling of sweating. The most important thing is that with a skilled demon hunter by his side, he can stay away from the threat of the eternal fire.
After a sudden knock on the door.
A strong man with a bald head walked into the room.
"Good afternoon, Lord Gawain."
"Good day, Master Leisuo, shall we start now?" Gawain stood up eagerly. His thin and frail body reluctantly turned on the spot, raised the sword made of air, and moved his palm and forearm. Made a crappy swordsmanship move similar to a bull stance. "Those brats can't wait to learn new sword skills, just like the Angel Marching Style from Veloridan you mentioned last time!"
"Unfortunately, I can only live up to the expectations of all brothers this afternoon..." Leisuo walked to the desk and sat down in a familiar manner, while Gawain thoughtfully poured him a cup of hot tea and made a gesture of listening.
"We caught a little mouse in the alder bushes around the orphanage..."
Five minutes later.
The smile on the collector's face faded and he leaned back on the boar-skin swivel chair.
"A bounty hunter from Nimna, ordered to kidnap children from an orphanage?" Gawain rubbed his temples with his index finger, Gawain shook his head, "I'm sorry, Master Leisuo, I have never seen this bounty hunter, so to you, The described middle-aged man with auburn hair and a fat body in his thirties has no impression at all. "
"But this is not completely bad news. It shows that the guy's status is not too respected and he doesn't have much power!" Gawain said, "My partying day and night these past few months is not in vain. According to Olof’s memory and my banquet experience, this behind-the-scenes employer cannot be the president or vice-president of any association."
"The looks of those upper-class people have been firmly fixed in my mind."
"What about eternal fire?" Leisuo asked.
"The Eternal Fire is a huge entity. It has churches and believers all over the world. Novigrad is its headquarters, with the Archbishop controlling the overall situation."
"In recent years, the Archbishop has sought political power far more than caring about the spiritual life of the citizens... He has been developing the power of the Eternal Fire in other cities and has no time to work hard for a few demon hunters."
"As for Sheriff Chapelle of Eternal Fire, this opponent who has been chasing me for many years has always been under my eyes, but there is no obvious abnormality."
"In addition, Gawain House has never violated the interests of the church, and our alliance has always strictly abided by the laws of Novigrad."
"The Eternal Flame has no reason to take action. They must at least find clear evidence - send temple guards with steel swords and anti-magic metal shackles to investigate, instead of hiring some ghost from a foreign land. Sneaky bounty hunter."
Lesuo nodded, this was consistent with what they discussed.
"There is also another situation where some pawns of the city council are obstructing it." Gawain guessed, "Because they are disgusted with the witcher's involvement in the orphanage. You should know that many well-known figures are Pure 'racist'."
"So when the city council convenes, I will keep an eye on that fat man for you... There are more than a hundred council members, and there is no way to remember them all."
"Thank you, Lord Gawain." Leisuo paused, "I have another question, is it possible that the two remaining giants took action?"
"The butcher hasn't contacted me for more than a month... Our old friend Francis has also been acting strangely recently." Gawain pushed back his chair and walked to the window sill. He held the window edge with both hands and turned his back to the hunter. The demon said, "My subordinates reported the news that the number of beggars in the area under my jurisdiction has increased by about a quarter in just the past two weeks."
“According to previous rules, there will obviously be fewer beggars on the streets in the severe winter.”
"I also noticed them on the way here... They were very alert and their eyes were erratic." The bald man recalled, "So the Beggar King is deliberately monitoring our movements."
"So it is possible that the mutation of Gawain's house has some relationship with the two of them."
The witcher sighed, he did not want to tear up the hard-won peace agreement.
"Your Excellency Gawain, if this incident is caused by the Beggar King and the Butcher, what suggestions do you have?"
"Don't act rashly. I believe that with the martial arts of the masters, it will be easy to deal with two mortals."
"It can even kill most of the resisters without any harm, causing the gangs of the Beggar King and the Butcher to collapse."
"But we also have to pay the price." Gao Wen tapped the window lattice gently with his index finger, a look of helplessness flashed across his feminine cheeks, "To go to war is to break Nuo Cheng's rules for the second time, and it will definitely break the bottom line of this city. , we will become the public enemy of this city and the target of public criticism."
"Including the Eternal Fire, the city council, the craftsmen's association, the construction association...all of them will stand against us."
"We can't move even an inch!" Gawain exhaled and said sincerely, "The demon hunter's force should be used as a trump card and a strategic deterrent, rather than being used lightly."
"Small-scale fights and negotiations between gang members are conventional weapons, so I will invite the Beggar King and the Butcher out for you."
"Let's negotiate face to face~IndoMTL.com~ to figure out their attitudes and resolve differences." Gao Wen said seriously, "Of course if they are at fault, they must compensate the frightened children in the orphanage!"
"Pay the price for the offense!"
"Then it will be as you say!"
……
"Does the master still keep the prisoner alive?"
Leso shrugged, "We're going to follow the clues."
"Very good, let's see if we can find out the employer behind it first, and then we will be more confident in negotiating!"
"Next, I will send a team of fifty people to return to the orphanage with you to protect the safety of the children. You don't have to worry about food and accommodation."
"If someone attacks again!" Gao Wen's handsome face showed a cold smile, and his tone was cold, "break up with us openly."
"Then we will no longer be polite!"
