God-level Demon Hunter

The freckles on Yanke's face were full of surprise, "I'm a little guilty... I wondered what he did to go out with Ortoland at night, and his whole person suddenly changed... So the next few nights I started pretending to be asleep, stared at him, and I found out that the two of them had been secretly operating for a week."

"One week later in the morning, he took my hand extremely abnormally and came to my mother's hospital bed. He explained a lot to us, recalled the absurd acts of the past, sincerely repented to my mother and me, and cried heartbreakingly. , like a woman...and make me promise to take good care of my mother in the future."

"After confessing, he left a sum of money on the table and ran away from home, never coming back."

"Why haven't you mentioned this to everyone before?" Clotte patted the boy on the shoulder and said rather reproachfully.

"Mother won't let me talk about...the money..." the boy twitched.

It dawned on Clotte that there was no need to tell outsiders about the orphan and widow who left a gambler's father and got a considerable amount of compensation, otherwise they might be jealous.

"But why are you willing to tell us now?"

"My mother has recovered from her illness, and the money has almost been spent...Moreover, for more than a year, every time I think about the experience during that time, I feel more and more wrong," Yanke glanced at the faces of the two, "Fran Deng's tone, demeanor, and words on the day he left seemed to be explaining to me and my mother..."

"Last words." The demon hunter said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Flandon is a gambler and never takes care of his family, but he is my father!" The boy rubbed his messy hair and took a deep breath. "I want to know where he went. My mother's physical condition is getting worse and worse. The better, I can wash and cook, and sometimes I miss my father!"

"His disappearance must have something to do with Ortoran!"

That's right, the witcher nodded, and lasted a week of nightly secret meetings, and then left a sum of money to the family whose whereabouts are unknown.

There was no doubt that Ortoran had taken him.

"According to what you say, this money should also be given by Ortolan to your father Flandon?"

The young man nodded.

A trace of pity flashed in Clotte's eyes, and he reluctantly comforted him, "Maybe Ortoran hired your father... and gave him a commission. Flandon is a gambling addict, but he is strong and strong. He is a bodyguard and A good pick for a thug."

"Is that so?" The boy's blue eyes sparkled, and hope was ignited in his heart again.

But the witcher shook his head. Hearing from the young man's description, the money from the archmage was more like money to buy his life, buying the life of an abusive gambler. From his point of view, Flandon might have encountered an accident.

But he didn't break the teenage hopes.

"How long ago did your father disappear, do you have any memory?" the witcher asked,

The boy replied without thinking, "From the day he disappeared to today, I have recorded every month! It has been a full year and four months."

Roy's eyes sparkled under the sunglasses, and his spirit instantly escaped into the timeline in his mind.

two years ago-

Ortolan and Ava got married and spent four months on their honeymoon on Indah Island.

Enter a four-month cool-off period.

Entering the two-month derailment period, Ortolan disappeared.

Ava remarried two months later.

Ava spends a year with her new husband.

In other words, the time when the teenage father disappeared was between the indifference period and the derailment period.

Ortolan first took the gambler Flandon away, and then brought three women who resembled his wives to the island.

Is there some kind of internal connection between the two seemingly unrelated incidents?

Roy couldn't help but seriously think about a question - the Archmage is really a cheating playboy.

Or use these three women and one man to achieve a certain purpose?

He had a strong premonition that the answers to these questions were all hidden in Ortolan's secret laboratory on the island.

"Mr. Linus, Brother Clotte, help me...I just want to talk to Flandon." The boy begged.

"Tell me more about your father's appearance and age," Roy said.

"About six feet tall, 180 pounds, muscular build, gray hair, beard, 35 years old..."

"I'll remember. I'll let you know when there's news, go home first." Roy patted him on the shoulder, and watched the hesitant young man slowly leave Lovten Village.

The witcher looked at the sky again, and the rosy sunset glow had already fallen.

"Come on, Ava should calm down, let's visit her again."

To find the Archmage's secret laboratory, he had to start with his once closest wife.

Chapter 18 necklace

"I'm just a poor woman, I finally got rid of the nightmare, can't you let me go?" Ava stood in front of the bonfire, and the light of the fire revealed a pure, beautiful and sad face, "I've said everything I need to say. !"

"Madam, after this time, unless life is at stake, I swear that I will never disturb your peaceful life again." The demon hunter sitting on the bench opposite the campfire folded his hands on his knees, staring into each other's eyes, "I learned from Yanke of Creeper Village that Ortoran once took away his father, Gambler Flandon..."

"Have you ever seen them act together?"

The woman clasped her fingers together and pondered for a moment, "One night I woke up from a nightmare and found that both Ortolan and Flandon were at home."

"What are they doing? What are they talking about?"

"I didn't hear it clearly. Later, Ortolan only explained that he was negotiating important matters. I was very surprised at the time. What does he have to talk about as a rich businessman and a gambler?"

"How long ago exactly?"

"More than a year ago..." Ava lowered her face and pursed her lips. "At that time, he had already started to snub me on purpose, but he hadn't hooked up with other women yet."

Roy patted his knee lightly, which matched Yanke's confession.

……

"There is another thing. I learned from Ai Ji, the guard at the port, that the women your husband cheated on were all prostitutes."

"So what?" Ava wrinkled her small nose, her tone full of disgust.

"Three prostitutes look very similar to you, do you have any special ideas?"

"What do you want to explain? He still loves me?" A sarcasm smile appeared on the corner of Ava's mouth, and her voice became sharper, "So I found a few substitutes for me, but left me aside? Don't you think that Is it ridiculous to speculate? Whether the person he is looking for is beautiful or ugly, betrayal is betrayal!"

"If he still has me in his heart, he won't neglect me, torture me, and make me miserable!"

"Wow--" The baby's loud cry sounded from the door of the bedroom, and the woman hurried over, picked up the baby from the wooden stroller, and gently patted the baby on the back,

"Be good, Yasa, don't cry, mom is here, mom is here."

Roy's gaze inadvertently swept across the chubby male doll with red lips and white teeth, and his pupils froze—a gray necklace hung on the boy's fair neck, and the pendant was a rhombus-shaped stone, carved on the stone. With a small pattern.

Indistinct in the light of the campfire, it looked extremely inconspicuous.

But when the demon hunter came within a meter of the child, the viper pendant on his chest began to hum.

Chaotic energy is surging.

He was breathing hard.

"Ma'am, this necklace looks very special." Roy suppressed his excitement and tried to speak calmly,

The woman hugged the baby, her delicate side face exuded a holy light, and a loving smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Fahd gave it to the child."

"No, no, this is what Ortoran left for you, right?"

The witcher looked at the mother and son with piercing eyes.

The woman tensed her body, her face turned pale for a moment, but she stopped trying to argue.

"Well, you're right, it's a gift from Ortolan...it doesn't look worth much, so I put it on for him."

You are so wrong, it is worthless! ?

Roy roared in his heart, his pupils flashed with a deep light——

guardian pendant

Material: obsidian, silver, mana, sapphire, ghost dust, wheel dust, evergreen stone...

Enchanting -

Physical protection, energy protection, evil spirit protection, disease resistance...

Every time it takes effect, the talisman will automatically draw chaotic energy from the air to replenish consumption.

……

Demon hunters have never seen such a powerful enchanted accessory, which has several practical functions and is automatically recharged.

According to his estimates, the necklace is worth tens of thousands of crowns.

"So this child is Ortolan's own flesh and blood?"

"Before he disappeared, I had been pregnant for several months. After remarrying to Fahd, I gave birth to Yasa. Fahd didn't mind about it," Ava turned her gentle eyes to the direction of the sea outside the wooden window, and the corner of her mouth revealed Sweet smile, "He treats the child as his own."

Under the observation of the demon hunter, the baby was just an ordinary boy without any magical power.

He failed to inherit his father's magical talent.

……

Under the mother's gentle reassurance, the child stopped crying and held a finger of his mother's mouth. His big black eyes looked at the witcher curiously.

Roy fell into conflicted emotions.

Even if the mage has strong financial resources, he will never give away such a precious enchanted pendant easily.

"Ortoran..." the demon hunter couldn't help sighing, his eyes fixed on the pendant on the baby's neck, trying to see the pattern on it clearly. "You must attach great importance to this child. He loves children very much. And you left the necklace, which shows that you still have him in your heart."

"No, you don't understand anything!" Ava seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and suddenly let out a low growl of depression, glaring at the witcher, "I hate him! The necklace is just...just a souvenir..."

"He doesn't love me and my child either! His behavior before disappearing is unforgivable!"

"What did he do to you?"

Roy lowered his voice.

"Didn't I say that besides emotional betrayal, he has more terrible mistakes." The woman shook her head and said the last clue, "I collapsed and committed suicide because of his well-known cheating scandal. He saved my life By killing me and getting me back on my feet, I thought he would change."

Ava pursed her lips tightly, and fear flickered in her bright eyes,

"But that night when I woke up from my sleep, I saw him standing in front of my bed, holding a fish-killing knife in his hand, and looking straight at me."

"That kind of look, when I was very young, I saw it on the pirates who went to sea to plunder." The woman shrank her shoulders and hugged the child into her arms, "I can feel it——he wanted to kill our mother and son at that time. "

Ava hugged the child and sobbed, even the beauty spot on the corner of her mouth was stained red by tears.

The baby felt the mother's sorrow and cried together with the mother.

"Under my begging, he left without saying a word. But I can see that he is very hesitant and extremely reluctant!"

"How can a father have such an idea of ​​being inferior to a beast? This makes me more desperate than cheating!"

"Although he spared my life and the child's life, I don't want to see him again!"

"He fulfilled me, and he disappeared by himself."

The witcher remained silent until she had vented and wiped away her tears.

Been sweet with her for four months, then neglected her, and cheated on outsiders.

The talisman worth tens of thousands of gold was left to the child, but it disappeared without a trace and did not come back to take a look.

Just rescued his wife who committed suicide, and tried to kill her with a knife.

……

All of Ortolan's actions became one word in the mind of the witcher - contradiction!

The demon hunter can only think this way - he took away the gambler, and those three prostitutes who resembled his wife, and finally wanted to kill his wife with his own hands, all in order to achieve a certain goal?

But when things came to an end, he regretted it.

And to solve these mysteries--

"Ms. Ava, I have an unfeeling request...can you lend me this necklace?" the witcher pleaded, "I promise to return the original at the most tomorrow, or what do you want? ?”

"I only have one request!" The woman held the child, looked back at Roy, tears flashed in her beautiful eyes, and begged hoarsely, "Don't mention that name to me again, don't disturb our family anymore! Please!"

……

Click, the wooden door opened and closed.

The witcher held the necklace in front of his eyes, and the dim light revealed the delicate carvings on the pendant - a star-shaped pond and three willow trees beside the pond.

His strong intuition told him that this had something to do with Ortolan's secret base!
