The Divine Hunter Chapter 28: The missing daughter

Todd, like most ordinary people, was born in an ordinary family in Nuo City.

My mother is a gentle and strong woman, and my father Frank is a sailor who has worked for One-Eyed Jack for decades and spent half his life wandering on the sea of ​​Skellige.

Toad rarely saw his father, and his strong mother raised him alone.

But he inherited Frank's temperament, being unsatisfied with the status quo and eager to make achievements.

Even at the age of twenty, after having a wife and daughter, Todd still stubbornly chose to leave Nuo City to pursue a life of excitement and adventure.

This journey lasted fifteen years.

He wandered around the northern kingdoms, and he could be found wherever war broke out: he once helped Prince Siward suppress the rebellion in Elland, and also joined a group of people in Holoton, Wellen. The farmers fought against the bandits and were exploited. After the victory, they were awarded the title of Honorary Town Citizen of Holoton.

In fifteen years, Todd survived hundreds of battles of various sizes and became an elite mercenary.

But he became even more hard-hearted than his father Frank, and he never returned home for more than ten years.

I never saw my parents or my wife and daughter.

Until he was thirty-five years old, he accepted the employment of Queen Calanthe of the Kingdom of Sintra and spent a year doing reconnaissance work in the Amer Mountains. For the first time in his life, Todd felt tired, lonely, and nostalgic.

I have been daydreaming for fifteen years and have earned nothing but a sum of money.

Building meritorious services is even more of a joke.

The longing in his heart urged him, and he knew it was time to go home.

So I put aside all my worries and returned to the hometown I loved and hated, the city I had left for more than ten years.

"I thought there would be a warm home with a table full of sumptuous food and wine waiting for me." Todd stared at the magic lamp under the ceiling, his eyes blurred and his tone low.

After hearing this story, Roy's expression became complicated. To some extent, Todd's experience was similar to that of the witcher... wandering, loneliness, death, and years of fighting.

But why did he choose to study with his unreliable father, Frank, so confused and cruel?

You may have a wife and children, but you don’t know how to cherish them.

I left my aging mother, young wife, and young daughter behind for fifteen years.

No sense of responsibility!

"But when I returned to Nuo City, I only found an empty home..." Todd sat on the sofa with his red cheeks hanging down, holding his knees with one hand and wiping his eyes with the other, "They are all dead, they are all dead. ”

Roy was shocked when he heard this.

"My mother Olena died of tuberculosis ten years ago!"

"My wife Colleen also died of tuberculosis eight years ago!"

"Frank, I drank myself to death five years ago..."

Toad's voice stopped suddenly, his chest heaved, and he breathed heavily from his nose.

Roy Moran, most ordinary people in this world have this ending, right? Death due to illness or accident.

To live to old age and die is just an unattainable luxury.

He sighed, "I remember you mentioned that you have a daughter, where is she?"

"Master Roy, this is what I want to ask you for..." Todd said with a bitter look on his face, "About my last relative, my little Aisha..."

"I have been looking for her since I returned to Nuo City." Todd choked up and forced himself to calm down,

"According to my recent investigation, after Frank died, Elsa lived alone, relying on her family's savings...until half a year ago, when her savings were all gone, she moved to work in a flower shop in the south of Nuo City. Food and accommodation are all over there."

The unexpected discovery made the tired mercenary see another path in life.

The witcher saw longing and hope in his eyes.

"I guess things didn't go that well," Roy said.

"But when I found the flower shop, the owner of the flower shop actually told me that Elsa had been missing for a month!" Todd's tone suddenly turned cold, "She left the flower shop one morning without leaving any clues or traces. , disappeared silently."

The man was filled with anger and worry. He stood up and paced anxiously, but he did not lose his mind after all. "The store clerks searched all over the area, and the soldiers of the Eternal Fire also searched everywhere, but to no avail!"

Roy shook his head. A fragile and beautiful girl suddenly disappeared in Novigrad. What would happen to her?

"I know that it is useless to search randomly, and among the people of Novigrad, the most well-informed person is Francis Beland, the beggar king with his eyes everywhere. No crime can escape his eyes. "Toad said in a deep voice, "I took the initiative to find the Beggar King and promised to pay a large sum of money...and he promised to mobilize all the resources in the gang to find Aisha for me."

"But half a month has passed, and there is no news from the Beggar King!" Todd suddenly stopped talking and slumped on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with his gray eyes aimlessly, trembling all over and crying loudly, " God, let me find Elsa, even to see her...I am willing to pay any price!"

The witcher's expression became serious.

Even "His Majesty Belan", who has both hands and eyes, found no clues.

This disappearance case may be unusual.

"Master Roy, I know that demon hunters possess all kinds of magical powers and are best at finding traces!"

"If you help me find Elsa——"

Toad stretched his neck and gritted his teeth, "In the past ten years or so of being a mercenary, I have saved a sum of money, and I will give it all to you! Including this house!"

As he spoke, he walked to the second floor and took down a strange-looking saber and placed it in front of the demon hunter. "If it's not enough, add this weapon. It was found after I killed a robber." The trophy has stayed with me for several years, and its quality is far better than ordinary steel swords."

With a movement of Roy's wrist, he pulled out the thick cowhide sheath of the general's sword, and suddenly a cold white light flashed through the air.

Bright and dazzling, its casting process is different from the northern style. The blade is almost straight, and the arc is softer than an ordinary scimitar. The blade surface is smooth and bright, and there is only a crescent-like arc at the tip of the blade. Decorated with sapphires, the back of the knife is covered with exquisite and complex patterns.

Offel Saber

Enchanting——

Siint enhancement: When holding the Ophel Saber, the Sigils of Alder, Igni, and Axi are all slightly enhanced.

…

As soon as Roy's fingertips touched the blade of the knife, he felt a chill and stinging pain, and a white line split instantly.

"Offel's saber, a good weapon." Roy's eyes flashed with a strange look, he re-inserted the saber into the scabbard and handed it back.

"What, are you not satisfied, Master?" the big man asked nervously.

"Put the knife away and keep the money for yourself. I won't be able to use the house!"

Roy shook his head. The purpose of this trip was not to make money.

"I originally wanted to bring a greeting to your father Frank, but since he is gone, let's bring it to his granddaughter."

"I will help you find Aisha for free!"

Just to repay Old Jack for his help.

"How can this work? How can I let you work in vain?!" The big man was surprised, and then confused.

"I am just being entrusted by others. If you want to thank me for my loyalty, thank One-Eyed Jack."

The big man moved his lips, but said nothing, just a look of gratitude.

"Sir Todd, let me say some unpleasant words. You should know in your mind that you have to bear a lot of responsibility for the disappearance of your daughter Aisha!" Roy struck unceremoniously, "If If you had returned home a few years earlier and stayed with them, death and disappearance could have been avoided."

"I was wrong, I'm sorry for them, I have no conscience!" The burly man's eyes turned red, he slapped his mouth, almost hysterically blaming himself, "I must atone for my sins! So... Master Roy, please Be sure to do your best!"

I have been wandering and wandering outside for more than ten years. ~IndoMTL.com~ In the end, Todd discovered that what he really wanted was not a dream of success, but a frivolous fantasy of his youth. The treasure he longed for most was within reach - the family love that had been neglected.

But when he woke up and the prodigal son turned back, all these things left him.

How ironic.

Roy said in a deep voice, "Sir Todd, reality is often crueler than expected, and the final investigation results may make you miserable. You have to be mentally prepared."

The man's face turned pale instantly. Of course he knew that possibility.

But he didn't want to give up any hope.

"I understand that if something happens to my Aisha, I hope that the master will find her murderer and let me deal with it..."

The big man lowered his head, his face buried in the shadows, and his fists clenched loudly.
