The Divine Hunter Chapter 29: The origin of the vampire bird

Foltest Castle.

In the luxurious restaurant, the magic chandelier sheds soft yellow light.

The king sat at the head of the long nanmu dining table, enjoying breakfast slowly. A new royal advisor, Fikat of Hydaris, was making a report respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the martial law in the temple area has been very effective in the past few days. All the pagans near the square have been wiped out. The residents of Vizima have also returned to their lost ways and returned to Lebiuda and Meritelli. And the embrace of the eternal fire. In my opinion, after this blow, the Lady of the Lake will not be able to develop again in the future."

Foltest chewed a few bites of roasted chicken that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk handkerchief embroidered with fleur-de-lis, "Master Feikat, I have worked hard for you recently. But this is not enough! ”

He pushed the chair away and began to pace around the dining table, "How did I explain to you in the beginning?" His majestic eyes stared at the mage, "I will repeat it now. Vizima is my territory. Meritelli has to keep me honest. As for that seductive Lady of the Lake, I know very well that she killed my knight leader and former advisor, and she must pay the price!"

Foltest suddenly grabbed the table knife and stabbed it into the center of a roast chicken.

"I trust the warlocks and have made Temeria the country with the most popular magic in the north; over the years, the money I have paid to the Warlocks Association is enough to buy a kingdom! I think I am qualified to order you—— Foltest's eyes turned cold, "Bring her body in front of me!"

Feikat felt his heart tremble and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, please calm down...I'm sorry...we can't fulfill your request."

"Give me a reason!"

Fekart lowered his eyebrows and said sincerely, "During this period, two consultants, Merigold and I, went to Lake Vizima to investigate every day, but we never found any unusual activities. That thing is most likely gone. Inside the lake... we are thinking that she obtained the information in advance from the believers and fled to hide somewhere else."

Fekart said half-truths and half-false words. The Warlock Brotherhood didn't have much contact with legendary creatures like the Lady of the Lake, but they also understood that they represented an ancient race. If you dare to kill one of them, you will start a blood feud with the elves in all the lakes.

Warlocks are not reckless.

The king snorted heavily and remained silent for a long time, with a trace of regret on his face. "You can escape quite quickly."

"But I assure you, Your Majesty Foltest, as long as we are in Vizima, that thing will never dare to step foot here again!"

Foltest's extremely oppressive eyes looked at the warlock up and down, left and right, until the latter was covered in cold sweat, and then changed the topic,

"How is Yada's place?"

Feikat breathed a sigh of relief, "There is no aura of magic detected on Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I think she has not been in contact with church affairs recently. But after all, she has established a deep connection with the lady in the lake..." Feikat carefully suggested He said, "If you just let it go, will there be any hidden dangers?"

"If we continue to suppress her, she won't recognize me as her biological father!" Foltest sighed helplessly, "During this period... don't push her too hard."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

"There is another big thing..." The king paused and said hesitantly, "Is the medicine mentioned last time ready?"

Feikat's eyes suddenly widened. There were many rumors about Foltest's poor life style. Like most kings, he couldn't stop being romantic. There were also many romantic stories widely circulated among the people, such as his relationship with his family... Got down Princess Yada.

For example, he has many lovers outside and prefers his married women.

Now there is one more item. Not long ago, a certain lover gave birth to a child for him.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to confirm, is it a boy or a girl?"

"Girl!" Foltest said with unspeakable disappointment. He even suspected that it was the lack of Master Aza's secret medicine that caused his son to turn into a daughter.

"Then your Majesty..." Feikat said, "I guarantee that the potion prepared by the Warlock Brotherhood will make the little princess healthier, more beautiful, and more lively."

……

In a house in the trading area.

"Abigail, the priest of the God of Omens?" Yada pointed the barbed whip at the trembling girl in the corner, and curled the thick hair on her shoulders with her other hand, "I am in the royal family The library has seen relevant information. The priests of the God of Omens are very good at curses."

Yada frowned delicately and unconsciously touched the amulet between her neck. It was given by the white wolf who lifted the curse of the bloodthirsty demon bird on her, in order to prevent the curse from recurring.

"I didn't expect that there was such an evil organization hiding under my nose. How did you find out?"

"It's a coincidence." Roy explained the process of finding the secret room in the sewer through the body of the bat-winged demon. Yada's eyes lit up when he heard it, "I was worried that I didn't have a prayer room, so someone sent a ready-made one. The secret base is really blessed by the goddess of the lake!"

"You...what on earth do you want to do?" Abigail huddled up. Even though she had no magic power, her white wrists and ankles were still covered with anti-magic metal shackles.

At this time, a plain little face was filled with panic, like a harmless little white rabbit.

Yada smiled gently at the girl, "What we want to do depends on your attitude. Let me introduce myself first, Abigail, the priest of the God of Omens. How old are you? Your parents , relatives, and friends, where are they?"

"I..." Abigail was stared at by three demon hunters and a gorgeous princess. She hesitated for a long time, and then said hesitantly, "I turned fifteen last month. Years old...I told them that I was an orphan, with no friends or relatives, only church members. I was adopted by my mentor, the previous priest of the Vizima Church..." Abigail's bright big eyes appeared. A touch of sadness, "But the mentor passed away two years ago."

"A lonely little girl...and so beautiful," Yada's face became more interested. With her wrist shaking, she gently waved the whip in the air while circling the girl, "Before you were adopted, you How do you make a living in Vizima? The local gang will never let you go, a little sheep. Let me think about it, being sold to a remote country farm is the luckiest outcome."

"I, I have been helping the washerwoman in the Temple District..." Abigail bit her thin lips. She understood her situation and said frankly, "For five years, that washerwoman and Her family has always protected me from bullies. In fact, their family are all believers of the Big Weaver and introduced me to the church... and then I was adopted."

"The Great Weaver? The Weaver of Destiny?" Yada looked at the calluses on the girl's white hands and asked suddenly.

"Yes, the lion-faced spider weaves destiny and controls human life and death."

"Don't talk about evil being so great," the demon hunter raised his eyebrows, "I guess those gangsters who dared to find you were thrown into the sewers by your church members to feed the two bat-winged demons. ."

Abigail almost acquiesced.

The demon hunter speculated further, "As a priest, you are also responsible for selecting sacrifices. Do you occasionally have to tie a few living people into the sewers to beat the teeth of the lion-faced spider's 'guards'?"

With a girl's appearance and figure, it is quite easy to seduce a few people with evil intentions.

"That's not surprising..." Yada said. She had "acted" as Vizima's Sheriff for a period of time and had some knowledge of the living conditions of the lower-class residents of Vizima.

"Vegima is the capital of Temeria and the most important stopping point on the entire kingdom's trade route. A large number of outsiders pass by every day, and there is a mix of good and bad. Occasionally one or two disappear, and there is no way to deal with it. "Yada approached the girl, and the five cold fingers of her right hand suddenly pinched her chin, making her face her.

Since the Church of Virtue needs an underground stronghold, the God of Evil Omens should leave wisely, not to mention there is hatred between them!

"Good girl, tell me how many followers of the Sphinx Spider there are in Vizima now."

Abigail blinked her long eyelashes and tilted her head stubbornly.

"I am the princess of Vizima," Yada's pretty face tightened and her voice was stern, "With one order, the Knights will immediately catch all the hiding 'little spiders'! In front of you, Saw off their 'teeth'!"

The muscles on "Little White Rabbit"'s face trembled, as if frightened, and opened his mouth slightly.

Yada half-crouched down and put her pretty face directly in front of the other person's eyes, "But if you are willing to cooperate, there is no need to use those unseemly methods."

"Give you half an hour to think carefully!"

……

"Your Highness Yada, do you need my help? The witcher's seal can save a lot of time."

Yada looked stern when she heard this,

"Fortunately, you didn't do anything... Roy, let me give you a piece of advice. Never use a seal on a priest of a certain **** or manipulate their mind easily... Otherwise, the existence behind them may be alerted, leading to unpredictable dangers. ”

Roy nodded, no wonder he felt alarmed at that time, "Then what are you going to do with her? She..."

He pursed his lips and swallowed the next sentence.

A fifteen-year-old girl is really as cowardly and helpless as she appears?

It is undoubtedly a disguise!

"First ask all the believers of the God of Evil Omens, they should move a place for the Church of Virtue." Yada pursed her red lips,

"Next, the 'poisoned ones are not deep', those who have returned from the lost way...I will drive them out of Vizima forever!"

Yada's eyebrows were raised, her tone was cold, "As for those who refuse to repent..."

"Your Highness Yada, you must be careful... Some believers of the God of Omens have powerful curse abilities, so don't get into trouble."

"Of course I know it, and I have a deep understanding of it..." Yada suddenly had a flash of memory in her eyes, pacing around the room, "The curse of the vampire bird that once tortured me, and the lion-faced curse, Spiders have a deep connection. Although the goddess has alleviated the after effects of the curse, I can still feel the stench still lingering around my soul."

"I have read the letters left by the instigator, the beast Osterit who had a crush on my mother. Destiny was mentioned repeatedly in it. What does this mean? His method of curse most likely came from the **** of evil omens. Wei. Ms. Wei An helped me get rid of the 'flesh-thirst syndrome', but she failed to remove the last trace of the curse."

A trace of determination flashed across Yada's pretty face, "I have to find a way from Abigail to lift the curse once and for all to prevent it from recurring."

"The God of Bad Omens is actually related to your curse." Roy lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Ostrite, the Church of the God of Omens, Yada and her mother’s curse.

A clear story line suddenly formed in my mind——

More than twenty years ago, Foltest's courtier, Ostritt, fell in love with the king's sister, the mother of Princess Yada, also named Yada.

But later he discovered that Foltest had taken the object of his crush as his own, and he was so jealous that he issued an extremely vicious curse, causing Queen Yada to die in childbirth, and the dead flesh and blood transformed into... Vampire bird.

It’s a disaster!

For several years, the residents of Vizima have had sleepless nights.

Until Geralt arrived, he was seriously injured and lifted the curse of the vampire bird, allowing the princess of Temeria, the White Princess, to return to her original form!

Roy had always had a question in his mind before. What ability and reason did Osterit, a Temerian minister, have to issue such a vicious curse to Yada's mother? It should be noted that he did not give his life.

Now he has found a reasonable explanation - there has been a Church of the God of Omen hidden in the sewers of Vizima, and Austerit is one of the believers.

He asked the priest of the **** of omen for the curse method~IndoMTL.com~, which led to all the tragic events that followed.

After sorting out the clues, Roy couldn't help but sigh.

Once upon a time, the God of Omens cursed Yada, but today, the fate of this church depends entirely on her!

Is this a causal loop?

Next to her, Yada was rubbing the snow-white skin between her neck, as if she didn’t want to go any further and ended the topic,

"I will be responsible for the next communication with Priest Abigail. Roy, you and the two masters must be tired too. Go back and rest... By the way, the materials sent over last time are enough. ?"

"That's enough, thank you for your generosity." Roy said sincerely.

"If you still have any requests, just ask." A delicate hand patted the Witcher's shoulder a few times. "Of course, if the church and the Lady of the Lake are in trouble, I hope you will continue to lend a helping hand."

"Yeah."
