The Divine Hunter Chapter 30: Daughter of the Black Sun
Novigrad business district, a pharmacy.
"Aisha? Do you mean the pretty little girl with blond hair and gray eyes who works at Lucky Cat? Of course, I am very impressed by her, a polite and lovable little girl, my little Jasmine We are the same age," the pharmacy owner said with emotion. "In the past six months, she has taken the initiative to say hello to everyone when passing by the commercial street every day. She is much more sensible than that girl."
The young demon hunter casually took out a calendula potion from the shelf, held it between his **** and shook it, "You have heard about what happened to Aisha, right? On September 9th, you saw Her?"
"It's a pity," the shopkeeper said with a flash of confusion in his eyes, "I remember clearly that I couldn't hear her oriole-like greeting that morning."
"It's been half a year, and I suddenly couldn't hear her voice for a day. I'm not used to it. I was very surprised at the time. I chatted with Pavitt from the dye shop next door. I thought something had happened to her family. Lin took a leave of absence."
The shop owner didn't think that the weak girl would take that dangerous trail.
"I didn't expect the security of the commercial street to deteriorate to such an extent. A good little girl disappeared inexplicably." The boss' tone became high and his emotions became excited. "You have to be crazy to treat a cute and innocent little girl." Elsa takes action."
"After her accident, my heart has always been empty, as if I had lost a daughter for nothing, and starting a business has lost the taste of the past."
Roy was silent for a long time, then snapped his fingers to remove the hypnotic effect of Axi.
The bloated body of the pharmacy owner swayed, as if he was waking up from a dream.
"I'm sorry, guest, I don't know what happened, but I complained in front of you for so long! But that child Aisha is so pitiful." The man obviously hasn't come out of his previous emotions, no. He said without complaint, "Soldiers from the Eternal Fire also came to ask questions, but those snobby people were obviously just showing off. They didn't pay attention to the little girl at all. They just searched the area and ended the investigation." The boss looked at the demon hunter. people,
"Do you think little Elsa is still alive?"
The witcher did not answer.
……
More than half of the afternoon passed quietly, and the sun began to set in the west. The witcher asked all the dozens of shops and other possible witnesses along the way.
Nothing found.
When the orange light group sank into the horizon, he and Todd used the cover of night to sneak into the homes of the grocery store owner, the jewelry merchant's son, and the little nobleman to search.
The three guys who once harassed Aisha were mentioned by Yalin, the owner of Lucky Cat Shop, during the day.
In addition to the drug addicts in the alley, these three guys who covet Elsa's beauty also have serious suspicions.
……
Unexpectedly, Roy could not find any suspicious traces in their home, and the subsequent Yakxi seal proved their innocence——
The merchant's son and the little noble family have already been guarded by strict tigresses. They are typically thieves but not courageous. They usually only like to take advantage of Elsa verbally, but do not take any practical actions.
The grocery store owner is even stranger. What he is really interested in is Yalin, the flower shop owner, and he is just trying to attract Yalin's attention by teasing Aisha.
Besides the flower shop, it has never interfered with Elsa's life.
One day of investigation.
The residents near the flower shop claimed that they had not seen Elsa that day, and the three suspects were ruled out as suspects... All of this confirmed Roy's previous guess that Elsa must have walked on the inaccessible road on the day she disappeared. Dark alley.
Toad, on the other hand, felt increasingly uneasy.
……
No. 320, Baocheng River.
"The 'resident' in that alley is definitely a big fish, not to be missed."
In a dirty room, two people were sitting at a round table. Under the dim light, the young demon hunter’s eyes reflected a dark golden light,
"Otherwise, let's camp out near the alley tomorrow to see who will show up. Be careful not to let go of anyone who behaves suspiciously, and focus on observing drug addicts and gangsters."
There are currently two speculations in the Demon Hunter's mind.
First, there happened to be drug addicts, pickpockets, gangsters and the like in the alley at that time. These evil-minded guys did something to Aisha and tied her up somewhere else.
The second possibility is related to the chaotic energy detected by the witcher in the alleyway - the warlock abducted Elsa through magic means without anyone noticing.
This can also explain why even the Beggar King’s spy can’t find any clues.
Thinking this way, another question came to Roy's mind. Why would the warlock be interested in a helpless orphan girl?
Just because of her beautiful appearance?
……
"Todd, do you know what's so special about Elsa?"
The witcher thought that maybe she had some magical talent that would attract the attention of the warlock.
"What's special? What do you mean, birthmark?" Todd sighed, rubbed his swollen face and blamed himself, "Elsa has no birthmark. As for other places, I divorced her when she was just one year old. I haven't seen her in fifteen years, and I don't even know what she looks like."
"Left at one year old?" Roy stared at the dim magic lamp, slightly disappointed.
"But I remember that she...she was born at a different time than other children." Todd suddenly remembered something and asked eagerly, "But does it matter? Master."
Time of birth?
Roy raised his chin towards him, indicating for him to continue.
"The day Elsa was born," Todd recalled with his eyes blank, "I remember that it was clearly noon in the summer, the sun was so strong that it could kill people, but the sky outside the window suddenly turned dark...Have you ever seen that kind of astronomical phenomenon? Right? A circle of black spots swallowed up the sun. In broad daylight, the light became darker than at night."
"In my more than thirty years of life, I have only seen that one solar eclipse, so I was very impressed!"
After hearing this, Roy sat on the dirty sofa without disgust and sighed. The regret on his face made Todd flustered.
"Girls born during the Black Sun...the chaotic energy remaining in the alleyways...I can probably imagine what happened that day."
The demon hunter's next words made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Todd, have you heard of the Curse of the Black Sun?"
"Heard... heard of it."
"You should understand that your daughter Aisha is the so-called Daughter of the Black Sun in the prophecy, so...she may have been persecuted by a warlock."
Toad lost consciousness for a moment, and his lips began to tremble involuntarily.
Of course he understands the meaning and origin of Daughter of the Black Sun.
As the name suggests, girls are born during a solar eclipse. This is an extremely cruel title, derived from the prophecy of the mad mage Etibad.
He believed that one day in the future, a group of Daughters of the Black Sun would unite to resurrect the evil **** and bring about the end of the world.
Roy discussed the Black Sun prophecy with occult graduate student Montes Distans at Cowburg University.
The witcher thinks this is nonsense.
But mages and ignorant people don’t think so. Decades ago, the "Black Sun Prophecy" was extremely popular throughout the world, giving birth to a group of poor people with tragic fates.
Such as the shrike.
For example, the sisters of the Duchess of Toussaint.
"That prophecy has been proven to be completely fabricated!" Todd muttered to himself, especially in disbelief.
"But some people still believe in this. If the murderer is one of them, then there is also a motive for taking Aisha away——"
The demon hunter analyzed,
"In the past, Madman Etibad had many supporters. They regarded the 'Black Sun Prophecy' as their guide, and went around the world frantically searching for the Daughters of the Black Sun, arresting them, imprisoning them in towers, and then torturing them. , killed, or used for inhumane human experiments."
"Many of these supporters are sorcerers."
Capture the Daughter of the Black Sun for experimentation?
As he spoke, Roy suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
"No! No way, Master!" Todd shook his head, his eyes bloodshot, "Decades have passed since the 'Black Sun Prophecy' became popular, and now everyone understands that it is a joke. , no one takes it seriously anymore, go and arrest the Daughter of the Black Sun!"
The mercenary was very emotional. He would rather believe that his daughter was killed by ordinary people than that she was taken away by a crazy warlock.
Human experimentation is more terrifying than death.
"Don't get excited, Todd, this is just a possibility!" Roy slowed down his tone. "And complaining doesn't help."
Toad roared for a while, then quickly lowered his head and lowered his voice.
"Calm down?" Roy rubbed his temples. He also had a headache. The demon hunter would never want to be an enemy of the warlock unless necessary.
Choosing a spellcaster as your opponent is far more troublesome than fighting an ordinary person.
But fortunately, all five of his companions are in Nuo City, and Roy is full of confidence.
And his own series of skills are also extremely suitable for dealing with spellcasters to some extent.
"Next step we must find all the warlocks in Nuo City! Check them one by one."
"This is too slow, Master, is there any other way to make it faster!" Todd paced anxiously.
If Aisha was really taken away by a warlock who was superstitious about the "Black Sun Prophecy" for human experimentation, it would only be two months ago, and she would most likely still be alive.
But it has to drag on...
"A more efficient way... to find someone?" The demon hunter suddenly frowned, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Toad stared at him breathlessly.
Five minutes later, the witcher said something meaningless,
"Unless...unless you can daydream!"
"Daydreaming...what do you mean?" Todd saw Roy repeating the word in a daze, and then a look of excitement suddenly appeared on his face.
"Don't forget, we are in Novigrad!"
Toad asked eagerly, "Master, please stop being so secretive and just say what you have to say!"
"Daydreaming in Novigrad." The young demon hunter met the man's curious gaze, "I think that maybe someone can give us the answer in the dream and tell us the whereabouts of Elsa - beyond all The complicated side details lead to the end."
"Who?" Todd's heart was pounding and he was holding his breath. He was afraid that the witcher would suddenly tell him that it was just a joke.
"Dream Divination, have you heard of it?"
Roy's tone was a little erratic. He recalled another experience. In Novigrad, a dreamer helped Geralt find clues about Ciri.
"I seem to have some impression. I heard it from someone when I was a child. Dream diviners seem to be a rare type of uh... magic stick? Are you sure they are not a group of liars and can be effective?" Todd's expression Question ~IndoMTL.com~ Dream divination is more magical than you think. " Roy said half-seriously,
"And I read in a historical document in the Meliteli Temple Library, which clearly records that there has been a family of dreamers called the Tilly family living in Novigrad for generations. Now they His reputation is not obvious, and he is probably still hiding among ordinary people as described in the book, pretending to be a hypnotist and an herbalist who treats diseases."
"There are genuine dream diviners in Novigrad, I am at least 70% sure."
"Novigrad has a population of tens of thousands and various houses and buildings are complicated. Where can we find a dream diviner?" The big man was a little embarrassed, "Elsa...she can't wait that long."
"Still the old method. Mr. Todd, I have to trouble you this time. Although the Beggar King can't find any news about Aisha, it should be no problem to help find a dream diviner. The surname Tilly is quite rare. ."
"I understand." Todd took a deep breath and made up his mind, "I will go to Fulin to visit Francis Beland immediately. He will either lend a helping hand or break up!"
