The Divine Hunter Chapter 7: Please close your eyes when it gets dark

"Uh..." Yamos wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but still felt that the heat was making him breathless. He loosened the collar of his white robe, and simply took off his turban.

It was obviously a cool winter, but his dry, curly yellow hair was completely soaked with sweat and turned into clumps of sticky hair.

"What's going on? Why did I suddenly lose so much?"

In Yamos's memory, after a fierce battle for a long time, he and Roy had always won and lost each other.

However, wait until he calms down and makes a careful calculation. But he found that he had lost all his capital unknowingly - on the right side of Gwent's chessboard, the place where the rare decks were originally placed was now empty, while on the right side of the opponent's side, the colorful cards were like precious treasures. Drill, attracting everyone's attention.

Amos couldn't help but feel heartbroken - not only did he lose the hundred crowns that Roy handed over as travel expenses, he also lost a "Vesemir's golden card" and a "Necromancy" silver card .

He spent a lot of effort to earn these two cards, which are basically unavailable in the market.

"Insidious guy!" He suddenly understood, this harmless young man. They were constantly dropping bait to tempt him like fishing, and were constantly reeling in the line and pulling the rod. When he came to his senses, he was dragged out of the water by the fishing line and couldn't break free!

"But how old is he? Could it be that he started honing his skills in his mother's womb?"

Amos glanced at the bright-faced young man across from him with a stern look, recalling that he had to suspect that this guy could read minds, or was cheating in some covert way - always at the most critical moment of the game. , suddenly played the card that restrained him the most, defeating him in one fell swoop. And his poker skills are not to say the best, at least he can be considered a master.

"Brother Roy, let me discuss something with you." Yamos no longer had the arrogance of being superior to others at the beginning, and said with a shy face and flattery,

"Can you please return those two cards to me? You can understand my feelings... How can Quint the Performer not have a gold medal to support his appearance? They are really my favorites!" Yamos squeezed out a tear pitifully, "Without them, I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't live!"

"Oh..." Roy glanced at him with a half-smile, "How much ransom are you prepared to spend to buy your 'life'?"

"Um..." Yamos's face froze, "To be honest, all the money I earn in my daily life is put into Vivaldi Bank. Why don't you return the cards to me first and collect them when I get to Elland?" After paying the money, I promise to give you a satisfactory price."

"Let's talk about it when we get to Elland."

"Is it really not negotiable?"

“I’m willing to admit defeat, is this great Quint performer a scoundrel who can’t afford to lose!?”

Amos suddenly became angry, breathing heavily from his nostrils, and his eyes were about to burst into flames. Then he glanced guiltily at the demon hunter who was meditating like a monk with his eyes closed, and took a deep breath unwillingly. .

"Forget it, no more playing!"

He turned around and was about to leave, but a soft voice came from behind him, "Try one more time, maybe you can make a comeback in the next one. I also have a gold medal from Yarpen Zieglin waiting for you. ..."

"Huh!" Yamos angrily walked away, while Roy smiled happily. Krona and Golden Gwent, the results from playing cards for a long time are beyond imagination.

“I remember hearing the bartender at Walls Tavern in Edsberg say that the Gwent Competition in the North was about to begin!”

When I go to Elland, I will also go and meet the tycoons in the Gwent world if I have the opportunity.

……

Maybe the witcher's guess was right. The convoy quickly left the monster's territory. The attack that they had been worried about did not happen, and everything was in order.

They spent two nights without incident.

Lesuo was well fed and drank by Roy like an uncle. His injuries on his legs and feet were mostly healed and he regained some of his combat effectiveness.

I don’t know what the mentality of Yamos, who was jealous of the loss, and encouraged other members of the Sea Scorpion to come to challenge Roy. Of course, Roy refused and made a small profit.

During the day, more than a dozen people in a convoy looked at him with strange eyes, mixed with fear, pain, and dissatisfaction.

Only when he played against Aveline, the boy let her go, letting her win some money, and deliberately letting the matter spread.

Yamos, who usually pestered the elf lady like a dog-skin plaster, consciously stayed away from the woman after hearing the news. When the card skills that you are proud of are no longer tenable, what face do you have in front of Aveline?

"I finally have some self-awareness." However, when he occasionally looked at Roy, there was a trace of hidden thought in his eyes, as if he had some hidden agenda.

After all, we are on someone else’s territory. It’s not easy for a young man to bully someone too much, so he tolerates the idea of ​​a head-on attack for the time being.

There was another thing that made him worried - the team kept monitoring the two of them in various ways.

With his senses, he clearly noticed that there were several pairs of eyes staring at his tent or carriage at all times. Even though Aveline was kind and gentle to him, several main members of the Sea Scorpion maintained a superficial respect.

But the remaining ordinary people still couldn't hide the awe and alienation in their eyes.

In Kaye Village and in Carbon Mountain, he had never felt such a strong abnormal emotion. For the first time, he clearly faced this distrust~IndoMTL.com~ He was a little dazed, even more bloodthirsty than when he faced it. The monsters are even more uncomfortable.

After all, he was just an ordinary human boy at the beginning. Even though he often saw the situation of demon hunters from other places, he felt nothing more than that at the time. Only by experiencing it personally can you understand the strange feeling of being out of tune with mainstream society.

According to Reso, "The biggest problem that the young generation who have undergone mutations in childhood and have just embarked on the path of demon hunters face first is not the ferocious and cunning monsters, but the changing attitudes of human beings. They often need to It takes several years, or even ten years, to fully adapt to all the strange eyes."

"Human beings are social animals, and witchers must learn to live more in isolation."

Not only do you have to face ugly monsters, but you also have to face ugly human hearts!

"What the hell! Just meditate."

Roy began to learn to spend more time in meditation like a witcher, sitting in the carriage for half a day.

In the past two days, there has been another interesting thing.

Roy got up at night and accidentally discovered that Aaron left the tent with "Ally", an owl with a strange "coo" on his shoulder, and got into the dark grass outside the camp, without carrying anything with him. arms.

This happens every night.

"Owls are nocturnal, and it is normal for them to hunt at night."

"But with Aaron's attributes and combat power not much higher than those of ordinary people, he would be too brave to enter a dangerous jungle alone at night?"

The Demon Hunter's Viper Emblem did not detect any magic fluctuations in anyone in the Sea Scorpions, ruling out the possibility that he had some kind of powerful magic item.

Things like this changed until the morning of the fifth day.
