The Divine Hunter Chapter 3: Cat Assassin

The prismatic aqua blue light curtain reflects a rich green, the dense weeping willows sway in the wind, and the broad rippling blue river is filled with mist.

Lambert stood in the soft mud on the shore covered with dust, his frivolous and ugly face wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and even the row of eye droppings in the corners of his eyes showed sadness. His hair was as messy as a chicken coop, his sharp mountain-shaped hairline became dull, and his gray-brown leather armor was stained with blood. It was obvious that he had experienced a fierce battle not long ago.

On his left hand side, Cat Piet Aiden stood with his sword in his hand, his thin cheeks were sickly red, showing a look of tiredness and haggard.

On the right, Triss, wearing a gray-yellow animal skin hunting outfit, waved her hand and spread the magic light, maintaining the telescope crystal.

As for Oakes, there was no trace.

"What's going on now?" Roy crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows, and mocked, "Aren't you working as bodyguards in Soden, so why are you in such a state of embarrassment that you look like you've been fighting basilisks for three hundred times?"

Lambert touched his nose and smiled awkwardly,

"Boy, you didn't know anything after being in seclusion for a month. When we got there, we found out that Kayla Metz didn't tell the truth. She initially claimed to hire us to protect Mayor Soden and had a few passionate dates by the way. , I just feel that if I don’t go, it will be in vain. I just want to earn some extra money and go for a ride..."

"Actually, guess what? A woman's mouth is not as reliable as the devil!"

The coral opposite the telescope gave him a hard look.

Lambert immediately changed his tune and said, "Of course, except Ms. Rita and Ms. Triss."

"As for Keira Metz, she actually tricked us into working as bodyguards for Foltest, the new king of Soden! Alas, I didn't do it because of the good relationship between Princess Yada and Triss and you. He fell out on the spot! He reluctantly stayed to play."

The red hair on Triss' shoulders trembled when she heard the fragrance, and she resisted the urge to slap this guy. Who came over to please Keira Metz, claiming to want her? Pregnant?

Roy also smiled bitterly in his heart. How could a demon hunter be so easily deceived?

Lambert pretended not to see the sorceress’ resentment, shook his head and sighed, looking regretful.

"Who knew something would go wrong! The world is really terrible. In broad daylight, King Fu was assassinated just as he was giving a speech to encourage the war-torn people of Soden."

Roy's heart skipped a beat. No matter what era it was in, assassinating the king was the top priority that shocked the world.

Although Rita Nieder's expression remained unchanged, the nails on his arm tightened, almost digging into his flesh.

"Who is so bold as to assassinate the monarch of Temeria and the new king of Soden!"

Roy felt a sense of time and space confusion.

According to history, it was clearly after 1270 that Foltest was met with the illegitimate child born to him by Louisa Lavaredi before he was attacked by the king's assassin Reso disguised as a monk. A blow across the throat.

But it was only the summer of 1266, and Reso had already joined the Brotherhood and quit.

Who will be the assassin again?

……

"Who else could it be besides that group of crazy Scoia'tael?" Lambert, "About fifty people, most of them elves, a small number of dwarves and dwarves." King Francis delivered the speech in the Blue Rose Square that was rebuilt after the war. While giving speeches and appeasing the masses, the Scoia'tael Party created a huge fog!"

"While the scene was in chaos and the people were shouting and running rampant, they launched a brazen attack."

Speaking of which, this is also related to Foltest's policies and the Church of Virtue led by the Lady of the Lake in Vizima.

Among the monarchs in the north, King Fu was less harsh and extreme in his treatment of non-human races, which gave the Scoia'tael an opportunity...

"So it's Francesca's handiwork again. She is determined to follow Emhyr's path until death."

Roy rubbed his temples. This assassination should be the Elf Queen clearing the way for Nilfgaard's second invasion. Counting the time, the Second Northern War is not far away.

"You contacted me suddenly just to let me know?"

"Don't worry, there is another shocking news!" Lambert said with a sad look, "The protectors of Pontar and Mahakam, Bruge, Angre, Riverdale and Arland Foltest has returned to hell, keeping company with his dead sister and queen."

Roy heard the sorceress gasp, so he gave Lambert a hard look,

"You should learn more from Dandelion. Such poor acting skills can only scare a three-year-old child. King Francis is not your descendant. If he is dead, why should you be sad? And Xiaote The expression is obviously wrong."

Roy glanced at Triss, who smoothed her broken hair from her forehead, wiped away the stains on her face, and smiled sweetly at him.

"Oh, you know Ms. Merigold quite well!" Lambert said teasingly and made a face at the sorceress beside him. Triss shook her hair and ignored him.

"Okay, this assassination ended in failure. Her Highness White Yada, the high priest of the Church of Virtue, Triss, Keira, Fikat, the army, and our three experienced demon hunters were heavily protected. , even a wasp can't get close to Foltest. Just dozens of attackers are certainly not a problem." Lambert glanced at the misty hillside across the river,

“Thirty-eight of the assassins died in the chaos, and 11 of them committed suicide by swallowing poison after being captured.”

"But there were still a few who escaped separately. Foltest was furious and sent a large number of soldiers to pursue him eastward. Oaks continued to stay at Soden. The three of us pursued westward to Brugg, the Chote River. Side!"

"Boy, since you have survived the second mutation safely, come and help catch the escaped assassin. We must find him before the Temerian soldiers!"

"What do you mean?" Roy asked in surprise, "You don't want to help the king arrest the assassin?"

"Those who escaped are not ordinary people." Aiden quietly clenched his fists, with a complex expression on his face and a hoarse voice.

As soon as Roy's heart moved, he heard him read a name in a deep voice,

"The Cat Faction Demon Hunter, Gaitan, my former companion, I can't forget that face!"

Having been a member of the Brotherhood for so long, Aiden has almost forgotten that Cats used to make a living by assassinating people.

But he really didn't expect that even today, there would still be compatriots who would accept such a dishonorable way of living, and it was not an ordinary assassination, but the killing of a monarch with a vast territory and great talents.

If he succeeds, there will be a **** storm throughout Temeria, with countless casualties.

He emphasized, "Gaitan was originally a rationalist and was not greatly affected by the decoction, but occasionally became overly emotional."

Gaitan?

As Roy listened, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. A bald and scarred face and a memory flashed through his mind.

The next day, a deer-headed spirit harassed the village of Honorton in Willen. Gaitan accepted the commission to hunt it. After completing the task, he was betrayed by the village elders and lured to the barn, where he was attacked from behind with a pitchfork. , and then he went on a killing spree and slaughtered the entire village in anger.

Geralt happens to bump into him, initiating a dangerous play between wolf and cat.

This is the butterfly effect. Because of his troubles, the assassination of King Fu was brought forward~IndoMTL.com~The assassin also changed from Leisuo to Gaitan who was attracted by the elf.

"I heard that the Cat Faction is the school with the most elven blood, and quite a few of the Cat Faction's demon hunters worked for the elves in the Blue Mountains in the past." Roy pondered.

"It is a very ancient tradition, and there are very few followers left, but Gaitan does have part of the elven blood, and he obviously regards himself as a member of the ancient race."

Aiden paused and said worriedly,

"Gaitan was hit by Keira and Fekat's spells, and suffered serious sword wounds. We followed the blood traces all the way to this point, and the river water erased the traces."

"But he can't run far. If he wants to survive, he must find a foothold on the other side to heal as soon as possible."

Aiden looked at Roy, his scarlet pupils were slightly moist, and his expression was sincere, "I want to find this brother who has gone astray and give him a hand!"

"That's right!" Lambert waved his fist and excitedly supported, "Uniting all demon hunters worth winning over is the purpose of the founding of the association! The meaning of our organization's existence!"

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret." Triss said in a very natural tone, "I want to make sure that guy never attacks any northern monarch again, otherwise the country will be in turmoil and the people will suffer a lot!"

Is there any mistake? You are obviously King Fu's bodyguards, but now you have to save an assassin? !

Roy complained in his mind and fell into silence.

Introducing a cat assassin into the Brotherhood to confront King Fu.

Is it worth it?

Everyone on both sides of the telescope held their breath.

"Then find him first, and then we will decide together how to deal with him."

Roy made the final decision,

"Lambert, why are you standing there so stupidly? Contact Keyan immediately, Eskar... As the old saying goes, there is strength in numbers!"

"Haha, I knew you never disappoint!"
