The Divine Hunter

In the northern harbour of Indalsfail, golden waves beat against the boards badly corroded by the sea.

The two ships moored in the arc-shaped bay undulated with the rippling sea, a row of white seagulls standing on the mast swayed their bodies left and right, and the yellow-brown coat of arms on the side of the hull shone in the sun.

A man in bloated gray cotton armor and a steel axe on his waist patrolled the port back and forth. His brown beard under his horn helmet fluttered in the sea breeze.

"Little-eyed Aggie, dozing off at work?!"

"Stinky boy, dare to scare me, want to lie on the bed for half a year?"

"Okay, don't drink from me in the future!" The young tour guide pushed his chest out at him defiantly.

"My lord has a lot, and I don't care about idiots, but remember, you owe me a bottle of mead!" The big man said mean things, but gave the young guide a bear hug, and looked at the witcher in the black cloak. Sweep the body.

"This is Mr. Linus Pitt, a professor of relationship and physiology from Oxenfurt University!" Edge gave the witcher a respectful look. "He wants to ask you something."

"It's social relations and environmental biology..." The witcher corrected himself seriously and shook hands with the guards.

The latter instantly felt a small coin in the palm of his hand, and a smile appeared on his rough, jujube red face, and he spit on his chest to assure, "The people of Indalsfair are simple and hospitable, and it is my duty to help you. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!"

The three of them crossed the dimly lit tavern and walked into the dark alley on the right.

"When I was visiting Luo Futeng Village, I happened to hear news about my former acquaintance Ortolan, but his whereabouts are unknown. 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 left his wife and disappeared for more than a year. Not to mention me, even our village chief, the priest doesn't know where he is now."

The guard's face swayed, his expression extremely disdainful.

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

"Mysterious and mysterious all day long, it's not like the style of Skelliger's man, and his attitude towards his wife is not a competent husband. Many people in the village can't stand his urine." Dahan said There is extreme disdain, "Fortunately he has self-knowledge,

Knowing that you are not worthy of Ava, get away early! "

"Eva escaped from his clutches and found happiness again!" The guard looked at the wide sea and said with relief and jealousy, "And that stinky boy Fahd was blessed by Freya to get such a A beautiful and virtuous wife."

"You're looking for him? I feel like this heartbreaker has grown tired of Ava, and has left her alone and gone back to Ron Essett to live a happy life."

Roy nodded, and if he couldn't find his secret room on the island, he would go to Ron Essett to have a look.

"I heard you witnessed Altoran's derailment!"

Aggie nodded, memories flashing in his small eyes, "Marrying a beautiful and virtuous Skelly is a blessing he has cultivated in his 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, motioning him to continue,

"Two months before he disappeared, I was in this port and witnessed him disembark from a tourist boat with a heavily makeup woman."

"His posture with the woman is very close, he hugs the woman's waist, and whispers close to the body along the way. As long as he is not blind, he can see the ambiguous relationship between them!"

"Do you know that woman?"

"I haven't seen it, but with my rich experience, I can confirm that it is a prostitute at a glance!" Aggie said in a familiar tone.

"I was so angry..." His eyes flashed terrifyingly red. "How could he do such a bastard? Not long after he married Ava, he used cold violence on her for four months, and then he started going out again!"

Roy nodded.

This is consistent with Ava's statement that after Ortolan spent four months on his honeymoon, he began to disappear and neglect his wife for no reason, and later began to cheat.

Clotte stood with his legs crossed against the wall, nodding with sympathy, "If it's me, if I marry Ava, I'll be safe in two or three years..."

"If I marry her, I'm not bragging. She won't be able to get out of bed in seven or eight years, and she won't give birth to ten or eight children. Don't even think about stopping... Poor man like me, who is still a lonely man!" The big man beat his chest with sadness. , "The inexplicable elm head named Fahd grabbed the first!"

The witcher's gaze slowly swept over the two men, shook his head, and interrupted their lust. "Where did he take the woman?"

"Altolan is still a bit of a bottom line..." Clotte added, "He didn't bring the woman back to his home in Luofuteng Village, and humiliated her in front of Ava!"

"Where is his conscience, he dare not!" The big man retorted, "On Indalsfair Island, no matter which of the husband and wife cheats, he will be punished heavily by Lord Dona Ann Sinda! cheating! Discord in the family, contrary to Freya's teaching!"

Unexpectedly, this group of pirates has a stronger family morality than the northern countries.

"I guess she took the woman to another village, or to the wilderness to seek excitement!" Aggie continued, "Anyway, I didn't see these two men and women in the tavern."

Roy's heart moved.

Will Ortolan 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 send the news back to the village."

"She was so sad at the time, waiting alone and depressed for four months, only to be betrayed mercilessly by her husband. She cried all night, with tears streaming down..." Clotte recalled, "Several women in the village went to comfort the villagers. Useless."

"We thought that Ortolan would calm down a little when the scandal was exposed. But he didn't..." Aggie's eyes were fierce, and he looked like he wanted to ask him to ask him for guilt, "I know that I, a Luofuteng villager, work in the port, He still brings back the woman recklessly, and even disdains to bribe me to keep a secret!"

"More than one whore?"

"In the two months before Ortolan disappeared, I broke his scandal three times in total..." The big man suddenly widened his small eyes and stared straight at the witcher, but the thick dark circles made him look at him Going up is like a sleepy turtle, "I just stared at him like this... Once the most ferocious pirate in the archipelago, the domineering, raping, looting, and all-inclusive Mokwag sent his subordinates to Indalsfair Island to investigate the situation. , I glared back!"

Roy's mouth twitched.

"Professor Linus, don't believe it... My eyes have been blessed by God Freya, which makes the villains fearful..." Aggie said seriously, "Unfortunately, Altolan's behavior is not evil, I have nothing to do with him, he is still me... 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 it's the dead of night."

"They're all from Ron Essett?"

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

Roy rubbed his temples,

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

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

The witcher understood it in seconds, grabbed it casually, and conjured up a crown like a magic, and stuffed it into the big man's hairy palm.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled,

"I can't describe the appearance of the three prostitutes even if I am illiterate, but they are beautiful... and they have one thing in common," the guard said with a pause and frowned. "They all look like Ava."

"You read that right?" The witcher raised his eyebrows, feeling a chill in his heart for no apparent reason.

"Actually, I've always had a crush on Ava. I'll pay special attention to anyone who has anything to do with her..."

"The three prostitutes' facial features are not as delicate as Ava's, their skin is not as delicate as hers, they don't have her innocent temperament, and their eyes are full of love. They smile with hypocrisy, and only have money and interests in their eyes. Look at their profile faces, the backs of them hooking Altolan's hand out of the port, swinging their waists... It's almost exactly like Ava."

"Professor Linus, is your acquaintance Altolan a psychopath?" the guard suddenly asked, "Let's leave the family's delicate wife alone, but spend money to find a few women who look like his wife? What kind of psychology is this?"

Clot shrugged when he heard the words, he didn't know the inside story before.

And the witcher's eyes turned.

What exactly is this for?

A woman who looks close to his wife cheats, leaving his wife to endure inner torment and torture at home.

Ortolan, a master in the field of biological modification, does it have some kind of quirk?

"He deserves to be spurned by everyone! So I told the world that he betrayed 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, There was a hint of guilt on her face, "One night Ava collapsed and committed suicide."

Roy reappeared in front of his eyes, and under the firelight, the wrist with a hideous scar was crawling.

"Altolan saved her?"

"It really took everyone by surprise." Clotte recalled, "When that guy was having fun with other women, he was able to come back in time to save Ava's life."

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

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

Altolan should have healed her quickly with magic, Roy thought, leaving some kind 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."

"Saved his wife's life when she was dying, and then abandoned her!" the tour guide Clotte concluded in a poetic way, "He made Ava go from heaven to hell, which is undoubtedly the cruelest in the world. torture?"

From heaven to hell, torture.

The witcher's heart skipped a beat.

A terrifying thought suddenly popped into my mind—

Ortoran, a ruthless and sane research mage in Triss' investigation, is unlikely to fall in love with an ignorant maiden easily.

Could it be that after he married Ava, he did a series of playboy-like behaviors to use this poor woman for some ulterior purpose?

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

"Eva gradually came 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 shook his head mockingly.

If the Grand Master wants to use Ava, she will undoubtedly end badly, like meat on a chopping board, let it be slaughtered.

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

So is all this overthinking?

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

Two years ago, Ortolan rescued Ava, a girl who was stunned by the waves;

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

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

In the following two months, the husband began to cheat more and more, and the object of cheating was similar to his wife;

The wife could not bear the blow and committed suicide, but the husband rushed back to save her;

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

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

This is the end of things.

...

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

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

"If you have any more questions, please come to the Lobster Tavern to find me tonight..."

The big man said and punched Clotte hard on the shoulder, and the young tour guide grinned in pain.

"Your Excellency Linus, are you still looking for Ortoran, or do you want to visit other villages with me?"

"Go back to Luofuteng Village and ask others."
