God-level Demon Hunter

"My lord has a lot, don't care about fools, but remember, you owe me a bottle of mead!" The big man said mean words, but gave the young guide a bear hug, and looked at the demon hunter in the black cloak Sweep it all over your body.

"This is Mr. Linus Pete, a professor of Love Relationships and Physiology from Oxenfurt University!" Aiji gave the witcher a respectful look. "He has something to ask you."

"It's social relations and environmental biology..." the demon hunter corrected seriously, and shook hands with the guard.

The latter instantly felt a small coin in his palm, and a smile appeared on his rough maroon face, and he slapped his chest with saliva and promised, "The people of Indalsfair Island are simple and hospitable, and it is my bounden duty to help you. If you have any questions, just ask!"

The three of them crossed the tavern emitting a dim yellow light, and walked into the dark alley on the right.

"When I visited Lovten Village, I happened to hear news from my former acquaintance, Ortoran, but his whereabouts are unknown now. Do you have any clues about him?"

"I don't have any contact with him." The big man shook his head, "I just remember that he abandoned his wife and disappeared for more than a year. Not to mention me, even our village head and priest don't know where he is now."

The guard's face shook with disdain.

"You don't like him..." Roy observed his expression,

"He is mysterious all day long, not like Skelly's style, and his attitude towards his wife is not a competent husband. Many people in the village can't understand his pissing behavior." Dahan said He showed extreme disdain, "Fortunately, he has self-knowledge and knows that he is not good enough for Ava, so he should get away early!"

"Ava escaped from his clutches and regained her happiness!" The guard looked at the wide sea and said with relief and envy, "And that brat Fahd was blessed by Freya to get such a Beautiful and virtuous wife."

"You want to find him? I feel that this unscrupulous man is tired of Ava, leaving her alone and returning to Long Exeter to live a happy life."

Roy nodded, and if he can't find his secret room on the island, go to Long Exeter to have a look.

"I heard that you witnessed Ortoran's derailment!"

Aiji nodded, and the color of memory flashed in his small eyes, "Marrying a beautiful and virtuous Skelly Jay is a blessing he has cultivated in eight lifetimes, but he doesn't know how to cherish it—his cheating behavior is still fresh in my memory. .”

Are you impressed by envy, jealousy and hatred?

Roy complained in his heart and motioned him to continue,

"Two months before he disappeared, I was in this port and witnessed him disembarking a tourist ship with a woman with heavy make-up."

"He has a very intimate posture with the woman. He put his arms around the woman's waist and whispered close to the body along the way. As long as you are not blind, you can see the ambiguous relationship between them!"

"Do you know that woman?"

"I haven't seen it, but with my rich experience, I can tell at a glance that it is a prostitute!" Aiji said in a tone of someone who has experienced it.

"I was so angry at the time..." There was a terrifying red light in his eyes, "How did he do such an asshole? Not long after he married Ava, he used cold violence against her for four months, and then started going out again! "

Roy nodded.

This is consistent with Ava's statement. After spending four months on the honeymoon, Ortolan began to disappear and neglect his wife for no reason, and later began to cheat.

Clotte stood with his legs crossed against the wall, and nodded sympathetically, "If I were to marry Ava, I would be able to keep myself safe within two or three years..."

"If I marry her, I'm not bragging. She won't be able to get out of bed for seven or eight years, and she won't give me ten or eight children. Don't think about stopping... Poor an infatuated man like me, who is still alone!" The big man was sad Beating his chest and stamping his feet, "Fahd's incomprehensible elm head took the lead!"

The demon hunter glanced slowly over the two men, shook his head, and interrupted their lust. "Where did he take that woman?"

"Ortolan still has a bottom line..." Clotte added, "He didn't take the woman back to his home in Lovten Village, and humiliated her in front of Ava!"

"He didn't realize his conscience, he didn't dare!" The big man retorted, "On the Isle of Indalsfair, no matter which of the husband and wife cheated, he would be severely punished by Lord Dona Ann Sindar! It makes the family disharmonious and goes against Freya's teaching!"

Unexpectedly, the family morality of this group of pirates is stronger than that of the northern countries.

"I guess she took women to other villages, or to seek excitement in the wilderness!" Aiji continued, "Anyway, I didn't see these two dogs and men in the tavern."

Roy's heart skipped a beat.

Will Ortoran take the woman back to the secret base on the island.

"As a compatriot in a village, of course I can't just watch Ava being kept in the dark by her husband and pass the news back to the village."

"She was so sad that she waited alone and depressed for four months, only for her husband to betray her mercilessly. She cried all night, and her tears were splashing..." Clotte recalled, "Several women in the village went to comfort her. It's useless."

"We thought that Ortolan would calm down a little after the scandal was exposed. But he didn't..." Aiji's eyes were fierce, and he looked like he wanted to ask him to blame him. "I know that I, a native of Lovten Village, work at the port. , he is still unscrupulous in bringing back the woman, and he doesn't even bother to bribe me, let me keep it a secret!"

"More than one whore?"

"In the two months before Ortolan's disappearance, I broke his scandal a total of three times..." The big man suddenly widened his small eyes and stared straight at the witcher. However, the thick dark circles under his eyes made him Looked like a sleepy turtle," I just stared at him... the most vicious pirate ever in the archipelago, the tyrannical, rapacious, and vicious Mokvarg sent his men to the island of Indalsfair When I investigated the situation, I stared back!"

The corner of Roy's mouth twitched.

"Professor Linus, don't believe it...my eyes are blessed by the god Freya, and the villains are frightened..." Aiji said seriously, "It's a pity that Ortolan's behavior is not enough. Evil, I have nothing to do with him, he still does what I do... under my nose, he brought three women to the island to fool around."

"How long have you been fooling around?"

The big man thought for a while and shook his head, "Who knows when these women will return to the boat? Maybe in the dead of night."

"They're all from Long Exeter?"

"I don't know." The big man shook his head, "I didn't talk to them...I hate their way of picking men, even if it's a pure transaction."

Roy rubbed his temples,

"Then what do they look like, what is their figure? Are there any birthmarks, such as moles on the corners of their mouths and eyebrows? Think about it carefully and tell me."

"One nose, two eyes, one mouth..." the guard said meaningfully.

The demon hunter understood in seconds, grabbed it casually, and magically conjured a crown, stuffing it into the big man's hairy palm.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled,

"I, an illiterate, can't describe the looks of the three prostitutes, but they are very beautiful...and they have one thing in common," the guard paused and frowned, "They all look like Ava."

"Are you reading that right?" The witcher raised his eyebrows, feeling a chill in his heart for no reason.

"In fact, I have always had a crush on Ava. I will pay special attention to anyone who has anything to do with her..."

Da Han said firmly, "The three prostitutes' facial features are not as exquisite as Ava's, and their skin is not as delicate as hers. They don't have her innocence, nor the love in their eyes. They smile falsely, and only have money and interests in their eyes. Look at their profiles, their backs swaying their waists as they leave the port with Ortolan's hand...it's exactly the same as Ava."

"Professor Linus, is your acquaintance Altolan a psychopath?" The guard suddenly asked, "Leaving aside the submissive wives at home, why spend money to find women who look like his wives? What kind of psychology is this?"

Clotte shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know the inside story before.

And the witcher turned his eyes.

What exactly is this for?

A woman who looks similar to his wife cheated, leaving his wife to endure inner suffering and torture at home.

Altolan, a master in the field of biological transformation, could it be possible that he has some kind of quirk?

"He deserves to be spurned by everyone! So I told the world about his behavior of betraying his wife again and again. But I didn't expect this to stimulate Ava." The big man roared with a sense of justice, and suddenly lowered his face, A hint of guilt appeared on his face, "One night Ava broke down and committed suicide."

Roy's eyes once again appeared, under the light of the fire, the bright wrist with a hideous scar crawling on it.

"Ortoran saved her?"

"It's really beyond everyone's expectations." Clotte recalled, "When the guy was having fun with other women, he came back in time to save Ava's life,"

"I don't know what method he used. It is more effective than Priest Ufa's medical skills. Ava recovered in three days. For the first time in these three days, Ortolan has been with her until she is emotionally stable."

"As for this suicide, it was later when Ava talked with the glorious mother who gave birth to five children in the village that she mentioned it—everyone knew that she had done stupid things."

Ortolan should have cured her quickly with magic, Roy thought, leaving some sort of surveillance magic at home to keep an eye on Ava's movements.

There is no doubt that Ava's life is extremely important to the archmage.

……

"He suddenly disappeared after taking care of Ava for three days."

"Saving his wife's life when she was dying, and then abandoning her!" Clothes, the tour guide, summed it up poetically. "He sent Ava from heaven to hell, which is undoubtedly the cruelest thing on earth. torture?"

From heaven to hell, torture.

The witcher's heart skipped a beat.

A terrifying thought suddenly popped into my mind——

Ortoran, a cold and rational research mage in Triss' investigation, is unlikely to fall in love with an ignorant girl easily.

Could it be that after he married Ava, he committed a series of behaviors like a playboy in order to use this poor woman to achieve some ulterior purpose?

"This time, Ortolan didn't come back." The big man Aiji pondered, "He left completely, and at the same time he took away the damage to Ava."

"Ava gradually walked out of the shadows of the past... Two months later, she married Fahd, an honest bachelor in the village, and lived happily ever after."

……

Roy laughed at himself and shook his head.

If the dignified archmage wants to use Ava, she will undoubtedly end up miserable, just like the meat on the chopping board, let her be slaughtered.

But she now has a husband, children and a warm home.

So all this is just thinking too much?

Based on the clues he had, Roy re-arranged the love and hatred between the two——

Two years ago Ortolan rescued the girl Ava who was knocked unconscious by the waves;

After the couple got married, they moved to Indalsfair Island and spent four months in a sweet life together

In the next four months, the husband began to disappear for no reason, and the wife often stayed alone in the empty bed, suffering a lot;

In the following two months, the husband intensified and began to cheat, and the cheating partner resembled his wife;

The wife couldn't stand the blow and committed suicide, but her husband rushed back to save her;

After that, Ortolan disappeared, and the former love nest was reduced to ruins.

Ava remarried to Fahd two months later, and it has been a year now.

That's the end of the matter.

……

The witcher took a deep breath and rubbed his swollen head.

"Mr. Linus... that's all I know." Aiji glanced at the port outside the alley, and a man in armor came over, "The captain is here, I have to get back to my post!"

"If you have any more questions, welcome to find me at the Lobster Tavern..."

As he spoke, the big man punched Clotte hard on the shoulder, and the young tour guide grinned in pain.

"Your Excellency Linus, do you want to continue looking for Ortolan, or come with me to visit other villages?"

"Go back to Luofuteng Village and ask other people."

……

Chapter No.17 The Missing Father

A warm disc of the Sun quietly slanted overhead toward the western sky.

The demon hunter who returned to Lovten Village quickly questioned all the people in the village, but unfortunately, the information he got overlapped with the confessions of Ai Ji and Ai Wa.

Until he met a young man...

At the east end of the village, under an old oak tree with intertwined roots and umbrella-shaped green branches and leaves.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy approached the two of them on his own initiative.

Compared with the generally thick-backed figure of Skellige men, he looked a little too thin. Under the simple linen clothes and gray fur coat, he was so skinny that it seemed that a gust of wind could blow him down.

His hands were calluses and chilblains from overwork, and he was clearly the child of a poor family.

There are a few freckles on the bridge of the nose, short gray hair in a mess, his face is reddened by the sea breeze, his eyes shyly flash blue light, and his expression is restrained and hesitant.

"Brother Clotte, Mr. Linus Pete, are you inquiring about Uncle Ortolan?"

"What's your name, kid, do you have any clues about him?" The witcher gave him a gentle smile, and the boy took a deep breath.

The man didn't look much older than him, but with a friendly smile on his lips, he exuded an unspeakable affinity, and the young man couldn't help but trust him.

"I'm Yank, and I'm asking you to do me a favor. If you find Uncle Ortolan, can you ask him where my father is?"

"Be more specific," Roy raised his eyebrows, "Who is your father, and what does it have to do with Ortolan?"

"His father's name is Flandon," Clotte couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he saw the young man's gruff expression, and explained on his behalf, "I live in Creeper Village to the east of Lovten Village... but his character is not very good, and he has always been idle. , addicted to gambling, never caring about his wife and children, but it's been a long time since he showed up... sorry, Yanke."

"It doesn't matter, what you said is the truth." The boy shook his head, his eyes darkened, "My father used to go to the casino on Big Skelliger Island to fool around, and lost all the money in the family, so angry that my mother couldn't afford it. But More than a year ago...he disappeared."

"Why do you think Ortoran took him?" Roy asked, staring into the boy's eyes.

Yanke pursed his lips and stared at the village not far away where the smoke was rising, "One night a year ago, after midnight. I was woken up by a piss. The man stood and whispered in the moonlight under the eaves, and they left together into the wilderness."

"It's a bit far away, I can't hear what they said, but that man's dress is not Skellige's style at all, and his movements are a bit of a landman's posturing. I later visited a friend in Lovten Village, and I heard from him. I learned that the man's name is Ortoran."

"The next morning, when my father came home, I felt that he became a little weird. Before asking for money, he never said a word to my mother and me, and gave us a little pity and distress, but that day, he looked at us. There is actually a bit in the eyes..."
