The Divine Hunter Chapter 24: A perfect day

In the early morning, the golden sunlight shines through the cracks in the window, illuminating a cheek covered with dark red scars.

Kiayan, who was lying comfortably on the bed, opened his eyes, and his scarlet pupils swept across the tawny ceiling.

Turn around...the yellowed and cracked walls, the narrow and old but tidy room, the mattresses made of hay and linen.

The ugly cheek revealed an ugly smile, but it came from the heart.

It turned out that everything was true. He got rid of the boundless darkness and returned to the world.

For the first time in thirty years, he slept peacefully like a normal person.

I even had a sweet dream——

In the dream, this inhuman body healed as before, and he quit the "monster killer world", started a small business in Nuo City, bought a house with the money he saved, and married a big-ass wife , and adopted a pair of naughty children.

The family lived a simple and happy life relying on small business.

But it is a dream after all, and we have to return to the cruel reality.

Kiayan touched the **** mummy-like body and shook his head.

Put on the gray shirt, tight leather pants, and thick hooded cloak on the rack.

Of course, the most important thing is the mask and sunglasses that cover your cheeks.

If any part of the body leaks, the people in Nuo City will probably regard it as a ghoul, right?

"Kaz——"

The sun was shining brightly outside, and the morning breeze blowing from the canal gently caressed my cheeks.

Kiayan narrowed his eyes comfortably.

It was early in the morning, and in the spacious yard in front of the door, a young snake sect demon hunter was humming a tune, skillfully using a brown soft brush soaked in water to brush the horse named Wilt, who had not yet The shed brown stallion has its shiny coat brushed.

The horse enjoyed the owner's attentive service and turned up its upper lip comfortably, revealing a row of white teeth. With a series of "puff" sounds and splashes of saliva, Big Ya touched the witcher's neck and cheek, expressing closeness.

On the white star spot on its forehead, stood a small and cute pearl bird with a blue-gray body, a short maroon beak, and a short chestnut beak.

The little guy shook his head and sang happily.

After a while, he playfully jumped into the witcher's short black hair and built a simple nest.

"Chirp, chirp", the crisp and melodious singing kept ringing.

As if cheering for the witcher.

Roy just held the pearl bird on his head, waving the brush to pat the horse's mane, and his smiling face was covered with a soft glow.

Kiayan's depression eased slightly after witnessing this scene.

There seems to be something missing from the unattainable dream - well, companion animals, a cat and a dog would be nice.

……

Kiayan moved his lips and was about to say hello.

A girl with a Mohawk haircut and a fit figure suddenly rushed out of the yard. She quickly approached the snake-sect demon hunter and put his arms in her arms enthusiastically.

He grabbed the brush and helped to scrub. During this period, he kept making small movements, and his shoulders and back touched his companion from time to time.

Outside the door, the face under Kyaen's mask suddenly froze, and his waving hand stopped in mid-air.

This young man and woman, regardless of the occasion, flirted in front of a ninety-year-old bachelor?

The man shook his head and lamented, unable to help but think of his terrible situation.

When I was working as a bodyguard on the Flying Stag, I planned to save some money to stop working and get a wife.

But who would have thought that it would turn into the look that gods hate and ghosts hate now, not to mention women, even water ghosts would despise her!

"Good morning, Kyaan!" Roy gently pushed away the cheerful Zerikan girl who was crowding around him, and smiled at the man, "How have you been these past two days, are you still used to living here?"

“Compared with the extremely hard operating table, the conditions here are simply heaven!”

"Then you should sleep a little longer and make up for all the sleep you missed in the past."

"I've slept for almost thirty years, plus these two days, I've slept enough." Kaiyan smiled bitterly and shook his head. The broken gong-like voice and the meaning revealed in the words couldn't help but attract Kan. Tiela’s gaze.

However, the girl remembered her companion's reminder and did not ask questions rashly.

Kiayan said with great anticipation, "Now I just want to walk around and see the world 'thirty years from now'... By the way, where are the Cat Vultures and the others?"

"You should stay outside the pharmacy at this time. You will be back around noon... Let's go, man, I will help you today, let's go shopping in Nuo City together."

Roy led the horse back to the stable, gave the lively pearl bird a few more words, and stuffed it into the saddle bag.

He left the house in the civilian area.

The three of them walked through the winding alleys, passed by a simple stone arch bridge, and arrived at the noisy commercial district on the other side of the river.

Kiayan's scarlet eyes looked around curiously through his sunglasses.

For a long time, this city of freedom and commercial capital has been updated at an astonishing speed.

Compared to thirty years ago, Nuo City is undoubtedly more prosperous at this time. The streets are spacious and clean, and the houses are elegant and exquisite, with red tiles, beautiful flower windows, and white cement walls.

Along the way, the people he saw in Nuo City were much more fashionable than they were thirty years ago, and the colors of their clothes were no longer the same black, gray, and white.

Beautiful purples, reds, and blues can be seen everywhere. The clothing styles are varied and glamorous, and they are also matched with rings, belts, earrings, necklaces, and headdresses...

No matter the high or low in Nuo City, it seems that everyone has a heart to pursue fashion.

"In the Free City, as long as you are not lazy, you can always find a job and survive." Roy looked around casually.

Early in the morning, the streets are already crowded with people... coolies pushing wheelbarrows to transport goods, businessmen with a big belly in silk robes but walking like the wind, shirtless morning exercisers covered in oil and sweat.

The face is full of vitality and energy.

"The opposite is also true. If you eat well and are lazy, you will be eliminated soon and your life will be more miserable than a rat in the sewer."

……

The three of them passed through a row of shops selling vegetables and dried fruits.

Enter the central area of ​​the commercial street.

Accidentally attracted the attention of the nearby Eternal Fire Guards.

The sun was shining brightly, and Kyaane's fully covered up outfit looked extremely strange, and it was also quite eye-catching in Novigrad, a city that values ​​tolerance and a mixture of good and bad.

Coupled with the demon hunter with beastly eyes and the exotic-looking Ms. Zerikan with short mohawk hair, this combination is really eye-catching.

Two Eternal Fire soldiers with long swords on their waists and covered in chain mail quickly approached.

"Stop! Routine inspection!"

"Please be quiet!"

The guard looked up and down with careful eyes, and his gaze lingered on Kian for the longest time, full of suspicion and distrust, and the latter couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.

Being locked up in a "dark prison" and isolated from the world for thirty years made him very unaccustomed to this kind of excessive scrutiny.

Instinctively, the muscles tighten spontaneously.

The whole body exudes a faint and powerful aura.

But Roy gave him a reassuring look.

……

The Eternal Fire soldier with a light green stubble on his chin and a childish face took a step forward and was about to search him.

But his arm was grabbed by his companion.

Another soldier's brown eyes glanced at the Snake Pie pendant around Roy's neck and his dark gold pupils.

The warnings from superiors echoed in my ears.

The fear on his face flashed away.

"Master of the Snake Sect, this guy is new here. His eyesight is not good and he recognized the wrong person. I am very sorry for disturbing the three of you!"

He nodded to the three of them with an apology on his face, and forced his confused companion to leave.

Kiayan was greatly surprised. He thought the two guards would make things difficult for him.

In his inherent impression, except for Coville and Povis, who are full of scientists, madmen, and adventurers, no matter which country or city they are in, their attitude towards demon hunters is quite harsh.

Has the world changed so much in the past thirty years?

Has the witcher's poor reputation been improved?

"Roy...what happened just now? If I read it correctly, the guards of Nuo City actually compromised with the demon hunter?"

"When we first came to Nuo City, the situation was quite bad." Roy smiled happily, "But the Snake Faction and the Cat Faction joined forces and showed their power to the giants of Nuo City."

"Nuo City has this advantage. Let your strength speak for itself. As long as your fist is big, you can get corresponding respect!"

"Since then, we have coexisted peacefully, and we have never violated the river!"

"This is the power of unity!"

Roy's profound words and burning eyes.

Leave Kyaan thoughtful.

Indeed, he has lived for more than ninety years and has never seen several people walking together like this Snake Sect.

In the past, all witchers were accustomed to acting alone, without exception!

"Is this the current popular trend, group cooperation?"

"Arrived!"

The jingling sounds of the dwarf construction team rang out.

The three of them saw their companions outside the shop in the middle of the long street——

Brothers Oakes, Reso, Master and Disciple of Furius.

The cat vulture waved his hand and pulled the thin and delicate boy beside him to come closer.

"Good morning, Uncle Keyan."

With two dark circles under his eyes, the boy cried out timidly, and for a moment he thought of the terrifying face he saw that night.

"Karl, are you having a nightmare?"

Kiayan said jokingly and rubbed the boy's short hair. The latter immediately trembled and his face turned pale.

"Cat Vulture, it seems that you need to add some special training in the future to strengthen this kid's courage. Otherwise, in a few months, he will not be able to survive the Green Grass Trial."

"What extra training do I need? I'll look at you every day..." Cat Vulture raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "Isn't it just to exercise courage?"

The two people laughed heartily and punched each other in mid-air.

This old friend who has been away for fifty years is stronger than Maojiu imagined.

After experiencing such a tragic experience and turning into such a terrifying appearance, I can only "hide my head and show my tail" from now on, but I don't take it seriously at all.

The three people from the Snake Faction couldn't help but show admiration on their faces.

……

"By the way, what's going on with this pharmacy?" Keyan looked into the store curiously and saw only a few bearded dwarves holding maces and facing the wall with pious faces. "Are some of you planning to retire early and move to the business field?"

"The Snake Brothers bought this store, and I bought a share..." Mao Jiu said, "A small investment can share the risk. If you lose your job in the future, you won't starve to death."

"I won't hide it from you. In addition to this pharmacy, the song and dance hall next door is also their property."

Kiayan's scarlet eyes shone brightly under his sunglasses when he heard this. No matter how old he was, he still knew the value of the shops in Nuo City's business district.

"Is it possible that you guys robbed a vault?"

"Haha, the treasury is not that big," Oakes raised his eyebrows, "but we did make a big deal together!"

"How about it, are you interested in putting your name on the line?" Roy said half-seriously, "If there is any big action in the future, I'll call you too!"

Kiayan leaned against the wall and thought seriously for a moment, "Then we have to wait for a while, wait until I find the missing blueprints on the Flying Stag and bring them to a few masters, and then catch the guy who escaped from the laboratory, blood debt Pay with blood!"

"Man, you should rest for a while first..." Seret said, "Let's work out a way to heal your body together. Find a warlock, druid, or Merite who is good at healing spells. Priest of the Temple of Li."

"That's right, Kaiyan, there is no rush for revenge or drawings." Cat Vulture also sincerely comforted, "It is important to treat the injury."

"Brothers, thank you for your kindness," Kiyaen only shook his head, with a bitter tone, "But I know my condition. Basically, I was skinned, and all the wounds were scabbed. It heals in a deformed way. There is no cure at all!"

"And magic is not omnipotent. At least based on my more than ninety years of experience, the magical transformation of warlocks, priests, and druids cannot make the scars all over the body disappear and re-grow smooth and complete new skin. No one can do this!"

When Roy heard this, he remembered another thing.

In later generations, during the Battle of Sodden Hill, Triss Merigold was seriously injured, losing all her hair and suffering multiple burns on her body.

Even after treatment with spells, nectar, holy tools, and medicine, there were still some scars left, which made her afraid to wear her favorite low-cut dress.

Philippa's eyeballs were removed and she could not recover.

Magic is indeed not omnipotent.

"I know it well. Unless I make a wish to Di Jing, I will have to bear this face for the rest of my life." Kiyaen said firmly.

"It's true that a warlock can't do it...but maybe there are other things." Cat Vulture suddenly paused,

"What do you mean?"

"Do you still remember the sacred acorns you snatched from the hands of the three witches in Velen, the no-man's land?"

"What does acorns mean?" Kyaan said with a hint of excitement.

"A magic fruit with strong recovery ability." Roy explained.

His loot package still contains three acorns, the arm of the cook, and a large metal spoon.

"Acorns contain the life essence of the sacred oak tree. They can heal all injuries and even grow broken arms, allowing people to regain their lives?" Cat Vulture added.

Kyyan's breathing became rapid.

Roy hesitated for a moment, "But the side effects of this thing make me a little intolerable - if you eat it, you will lose most of your memory."

The latter's breath froze when he heard this, he lowered his head and struggled for a long time, and his fingers began to tremble.

After a moment, he shook his head heavily,

"It's such a pity...if I lose my memory, am I still me? I finally found myself after thirty years of being lost. I don't want to get lost again...this method can avoid it."

"By the way, after your pharmacy opens, will it still need manpower? I want to make money while looking for blueprints and enemies, but with the current situation, it is difficult to find an ordinary job! Even if I want to take it For entrustment, you have to meet with the employer, and it will definitely fall through..."

Kayyan pleaded,

"My alchemy skills are pretty good...Although I have been imprisoned for a long time, my decades of experience are still there...I can quickly return to my previous level after I start practicing!"

Starting over, he couldn't rely on others to make ends meet. He had to find a stable income.

Roy glanced at everyone and stretched out his hand.

“It’s a dream to have an alchemist master join us!”

He had other considerations in his mind. As far as he knew, Kyaen was also a ruthless character before he was imprisoned. He had received many assassination commissions, and the lives on his hands were far more than just villains and scum.

But after a rough test, I found that the other person was not the weird, surly, and uncomfortable guy I imagined. He knew how to measure.

But the investigation is far from over.

It just so happens that after the Snake Sect goes to Kaer Morhen, the industry in Nuo City needs some strong people to take care of it~IndoMTL.com~ Cat Vulture and Kyaan are undoubtedly the best candidates, and they can also provide support for the dance hall next door. Protect and protect.

If Kyaan still performs well during the inspection period, everyone can safely introduce him to the Alliance and work together for the revival of the witcher.

"From now on, please give me your advice."

A hoarse laugh came from Kyaan's severely damaged throat, and a sense of relief spread throughout his body.

"As long as you don't mind the low wages...and there are fewer and fewer of the same kind, demon hunters should look after each other!"

Several hands overlapped together.

Kiayan's heart was racing.

Today is undoubtedly the most perfect day he has had in thirty years.

He has never felt such trust and selfless help.

Maybe after taking blood revenge, we should continue to stay?
