The Divine Hunter - Chapter 531
Chapter 531 Missing Father
A group of warm sun wheels quietly slanted from the overhead position to the west sky.
The demon hunter who returned to Lovteng village quickly asked the people in the village, but unfortunately the news he got overlapped with the confessions of Ai Ji and Ava.
Until he met a young man…
East end of the village, under an old oak tree with intertwined roots and umbrella-shaped green branches.
A thirteen or four-year-old boy took the initiative to find two people.
Compared with the sturdy figure of Skelliger men, he looks a little too thin. The crude linen clothes and gray fur coat are skinny, and it seems that a gust of wind can blow him down.
His hands are full of calluses and frostbite from overwork. He is obviously a child from a poor family.
There are a few freckles on the bridge of his nose, a messy gray short hair, her face flushed by the sea breeze, her eyes shimmering in blue timidly, her expression restrained and hesitant.
“Brother Clotte, Mr. Linus Pitt, are you inquiring about Uncle Altoran?”
“What’s your name, kid, do you have a clue to him?” The witcher smiled gently at him, and the boy took a deep breath.
This man looks not much older than him, but the friendly smile at the corners of his mouth exudes an unspeakable affinity, and the boy trusts him involuntarily.
“My name is Yanke, and I ask you for a favor. If you find Uncle Altoland, can you help me ask him where my father is?”
“To be more specific,” Roy raised his eyebrows, “Who is your father, and what does it have to do with Altoran?”
“His father’s name is Flandon.” Seeing the appearance of the young man, Clot couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing, explaining on his behalf, “I live in the creeper village east of Lovteng Village…but his character is not very good. He has always been idle. He is addicted to gambling and has always ignored his wife and children, but it hasn’t appeared for a long time… Sorry, Yanke.”
“It’s okay, what you said is the truth.” The boy shook his head and his eyes were sad. “My father used to go to the casino on Big Skellig Island to fool around and lose all the money in the family, so his mother was so angry that he couldn’t afford to be sick. More than a year ago… he disappeared.”
“Why do you think Altoran took him?” Roy asked, staring into the boy’s eyes.
Yanke pursed his lips and stared at the smoker’s village not far away. “One night a year ago, after midnight. I was awakened by a pee, got up and went out to urinate, only to find Flandon and the other one. The man stood whispering in the moonlight under the eaves, and then they left together and walked into the wilderness.”
“It’s a bit far apart, I can’t hear them clearly, but the man’s dress is not in Skelrige’s style, and his movements are a bit of a terrestrial pretence. Later, when I visited a friend in Lofoten Village, I heard from him. Learned that the man was called Altoran.”
“The next morning, when my father came home, I felt that he became a little weird. Apart from 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 was a little…”
The freckles on Yanke’s face were full of surprises, “A little guilty… I wondered what he did when he went out with Altoland at night. The whole person suddenly changed… So the next few days I started. Pretending to sleep and staring at him, I found that their secret operation lasted a week.”
“A week later in the morning, he took my hand to my mother’s bed very abnormally, told us a big deal, recalled the absurd behavior of the past, sincerely confessed to my mother and me, crying heartbreakingly. , Like a woman… and let me promise to take care of my mother in the future.”
“After repenting, he left a sum of money on the table and ran away from home and never came back.”
“Why did your kid never mention this to everyone before?” Clotte patted the boy on the shoulder and said reproachfully.
“Mother won’t let me say… the money…” the boy twisted.
Klott suddenly, an orphan and a widow, walked away from a gambler father and received a considerable amount of compensation. There is indeed no need to tell outsiders, otherwise they may be jealous.
“But why are you willing to tell us now?”
“Mother is ill, and the money is almost spent… and over the past year or so, every time I think about the experience of that period, I feel more and more wrong,” Yank glanced across the two faces, “Frandon The tone, demeanor, and words on the day I left seemed to be an explanation to my mother and me…”
“Last words.” The demon hunter said solemnly.
“Yes! Flandon is a gambler and never cares about his family, but he is my father!” The boy rubbed his hair and took a deep breath. “I want to know where he went, and his mother’s health is getting worse The better, I can go to the ground to wash and cook, and sometimes I miss my father!”
“His disappearance must have something to do with Altoran!”
Yes, the demon hunter nodded his head and continued the night secret meeting for a week, and then left a sum of money to the family for unknown whereabouts.
There is no doubt that Altoran took him away.
“According to you, this money should have been given by Altoran to your father Frandon?”
The boy nodded.
A hint of pity flashed in Klott’s eyes, and he barely comforted, “Perhaps Altoran hired your father…gave him a commission. Flandon is a gambling enthusiast, but he is strong, a bodyguard and a thug. A good candidate.”
“Is that so?” The boy’s blue eyes were bright, and there was hope in his heart.
The demon hunter shook his head. Listening to the boy’s description, the Archmage’s money was more like a life-buying money. He bought the life of a gambler. In his opinion, Flandon might have suffered an accident.
But he did not break the hope of the boy.
“How long ago did your father go missing? Do you have any impression?” asked the demon hunter.
The boy replied without hesitation, “I have a record every month from the day he disappeared to today! A whole year and four months have passed.”
Roy’s eyes sparkled under the sunglasses, and his spirit instantly escaped into the timeline of his mind.
Two years ago——
Altoran and Ava got married and spent four months honeymoon in Indah.
has entered a four-month cold period.
Entering a two-month derailment period, Altolan disappeared.
Ava remarried two months later.
Ava spends a year with her new husband.
In this way, the time when the boy’s father disappeared was between the period of coldness and the period of derailment.
Altoran first took away the gambler Frandon, and then brought three women who looked like his wives to the island.
Is there any internal connection between two seemingly unrelated incidents?
Roy couldn’t help thinking about a problem seriously-the archmage is really a cheating dude.
Or use these three women and one man to achieve a certain goal?
He has a strong hunch that the answers to these questions are all hidden in Altoran’s secret laboratory on the island.
“Mr. Linus, Brother Crott, help me…I just want to talk to Flandon.” The boy pleaded.
“Tell me more carefully, your father’s looks and age.” Roy said.
“About six feet tall, one hundred and eighty pounds, a strong body, gray hair, a beard, thirty-five years old…”
“I remembered. I will definitely notify you when there is news. Let’s go home first.” Roy patted him on the shoulder and watched the hesitant teenager slowly leave Lofoten Village.
The demon hunter glanced at the sky again, and the rosy sunset had already fallen.
“Let’s go, Ava should calm down, let’s visit her again.”
To find the secret laboratory of the archmage, you still have to start with his closest wife.
