The Divine Hunter - Chapter 533
Chapter 533 Behind the Coldness
In the evening, the cold sea breeze blew over the oak trees and bushes north of Indalsfell.
A pair of pupils that reflect gloomy light like ghosts float in the dense forest.
“click…”
The witcher stepped on a dead branch and reached out to lift a thick leaf…A shimmering pond was reflected in his vision.
On a quiet night, only the sound of insects by the pond and the rustle of three leafy willow trees swinging in the wind can be heard.
This situation and situation are coincident with the carving on the pendant!
“Ahem, Mr. Linus, we’re in the place. But you’d better hurry up. It’s dangerous to go to this wilderness at night! In case we encounter wolves, bears, or crab spiders, we may never see you again. To the sun tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, I’m here, no one can move you!” Roy stepped on the wet mud and circled the pond. When he walked to a willow tree, the pendant between his neck suddenly began to buzz. Humming softly.
He casually poked the air in front of him, and the air rippled like a stirred water wave, and the dim light broke strangely from it.
A phantom?
“Mr. Linus, what are you doing? Looking for treasure?”
“Quiet, you go play first!” Roy turned around and outlined his five fingers in front of the young tour guide.
The latter suddenly shivered all over, walked up to a willow tree like a wooden man, hugged the trunk, made a yellow dog peeing, wriggling slowly.
The Demon Hunter nodded, and sketched the dark Kolanp Faprint in front of him.
No phantoms are summoned this time.
The black spell is like a needle, instantly piercing everything in front of you!
“Boy!”
On a flat ground in front of the willow tree, the soft and thick humus layer suddenly disappeared, revealing a pressing board with a handle.
The demon hunter uncovered the wooden plank, inserted a steel sword outside, and put on the seal of Quinn and Helio.
Carefully walked down the dark wooden stairs behind the planks.
In a narrow and dark space, with bare walls, a closed gate with magical luster stands right in front of it.
There is a keyhole-like recess on the door.
Roy hesitated for a while, then set the pendant of the necklace in.
Strictly stitched together.
Click—
The Demon Hunter opened the heavy magic door.
“Duang…”
Roy snapped his fingers. Elf-like flames hovered around the fingertips, illuminating the entire secret room——
A room close to the size of the single bedroom in the tavern, unexpectedly empty, surrounded by hard walls, except for a table in the corner, a silk bag, a telescope for communication and projection, a magic lamp on the ceiling…
There is no one, and there are no instruments and experimental equipment used to transform creatures as expected by the demon hunter…
The most striking thing is a six-pointed star array carved on the yellow wooden floor. Each corner of the array is engraved with ancient characters representing the seal.
The demon hunter stepped into the magic circle, and the magic power in his body suddenly became heavy and slow, like a blocked water pipe, and his brain became dizzy and drowsy.
At the same time, a strong rancid smell hits the face.
He bit the tip of his tongue lightly and tightened his brow. Lifted the spirit, stretched out his hand to control the beating pendant, squatted down, took out some of the white dust that portrayed the formation, and moved it to the front of the nose—the wheel injected the dust.
“A powerful circle used to seal a certain creature?”
“It has been in existence for a year and still has residual effect.”
What did Altoran build this chamber to seal?
Roy turned on the senses of the Demon Hunter.
A silk ribbon composed of gray rancid smell and **** smell suddenly appeared in the middle of the secret room.
He followed the silk ribbon and walked two steps until he came to the center of the strongest magic circle with intertwined smells.
“Duang Duang—” The Demon Hunter tapped on the wooden floor, “Empty?”
“boom!”
Five fingers outline the blue spell, and the magical air stream gushes out and smashes the planks under the feet,
Sawdust collapses and flies, fuzzy dust fills the air, and the stench is like heated spicy oil, which becomes more intense and vomiting.
Roy held his breath, his eyes widened.
A severely corrupted skeleton, wearing a traditional Skelliger fur coat, rotted so that only a few pieces of skin were left, the eye sockets, nostrils, and mouth, black holes and the witcher staring at each other.
“The time of death was at least one year and three months ago…” The witcher took the corpse out of the wooden hole and inspected the pelvic bones under his clothes and the teeth in his mouth. “Male, thirty-five years old…height Approximately six feet, gray hair, and fits the physical characteristics of Yank’s missing father, Flandon.”
“It seems that Altoran killed him shortly after taking him away… it was really a life-saving money. The calf, nose, arms, ribs, and dozens of fractures up and down the whole body.”
“Tsk, Altoran tortured him cruelly.”
Roy’s face became serious, and the torture was usually related to some dark, evil ritual.
“Master of biology, dogs can’t change eating shit.”
He shook his head and sighed, bent over and pressed his body into the wooden hole, and carried out the second corpse.
Orange dress, fox fur waistcoat.
“Twenty-eight years old…5’6 height, female…finger, toe, multiple fractures, tortured before death…”
The third one, the emerald green jacket.
“Thirty years old, five-foot-seven tall, female, tortured before death…”
The fourth, white fur cloak, velvet pajamas.
“Twenty-nine years old, five-foot-seven tall, female, tortured before death…”
“Hiss—” staring at the four seriously corrupt and unrecognizable corpses in the center of the circle, the demon hunter gasped and fell into contemplation.
“Three prostitutes, one gambler, Altolan never let go, tortured and killed them…”
“I can imagine the panic and pain before their death…”
The demon hunter looked around, his pupils of different colors flickered with alert light, and a thought flashed in his mind,
“This master of biological transformation, wants to use human suffering to create some kind of monster? Then use this six-pointed star array to imprison the creature in the secret room?”
But the magic door was closed and there was no sign of violent damage. He determined that there was no other creature in the entire room except himself.
Roy turned his eyes to the silk bag on the table and the telescope next to him.
The iron bracket is inlaid with a complete image crystal.
He walked over, gently rubbing the image crystal on the telescope with his palm, and a magical force passed.
The scene from the laboratory at the bottom of the Nine Valley is reproduced-the crystal reflects a piece of blue rippling light and weaves a curtain in the air.
A man appeared in it.
Wearing a gray close-fitting scholar-shaped robe, over 40 years old, with short blond hair, deep and wise eyes, and delicate beards on the upper and lower lips, he looks like a personable university professor from a distance.
Except for the slightly cold expression.
At first glance, no one believed that he would kill four innocent people.
He used a deep, magnetic voice and began to speak slowly…
“In 1261, I bid farewell to Risberg Castle, where I had worked for more than two hundred years.
In this ancient castle, I have made countless brilliant achievements-assisted Alzu and Malaspina to create the demon hunter, and worked with 15 colleagues to study the elixir, created and improved a hundred and two Fifteen kinds of creatures… I thought I would devote my life to magic research until I die old in the castle or die by accident.
But when I was three hundred and fifty years old, I felt a kind of boredom from the bottom of my heart, fatigue in the depths of my soul, I have a feeling that my deadline is not far away, at most forty years…I do I made the boldest decision in my life to leave Risberg and return to my childhood hometown-Great Skellig Island…”
“I was born on the island… As an ordinary person who grew up to eighteen years old, here I have the first love that I will never forget. Seeing the blue sea and blue sky, I know that I will be buried here. There will be no more experiments. Study, live leisurely like a lonely old man, enjoying the sun, the beach, the waves, and the seafood.”
The handsome face of the man in the image began to emit a strange brilliance, and his calm tone was more ups and downs.
“In June 1261, I saw her while fishing on the coast-a young girl who was standing on a fishing boat and rewinding her net. She was young and beautiful, with a healthy blush on her cheeks, and her delicate skin was like a diamond in the bright sunshine of the archipelago. Sparkling, suddenly, I seem to be back more than three hundred years ago… When I first saw Elodie, yes, they look exactly the same, especially the beauty mole at the corner of the mouth. I feel a lifeless body. A strange energy surged out of it, and the numb heartbeat suddenly started to accelerate in countless in vivo experiments…”
“The old man of more than three hundred years, the ruthless Altoran, will actually have a heart-stirring one day? If Algernon, Idaran and the others know about it, I’m afraid I will think that I have undergone some kind of mental transformation. ”
The stiff corner of the man in the projection gave a self-deprecating smile.
“The fate is destined. At that time, there was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity-she was shot into the sea by the waves. I did not hesitate to cast a spell to rescue her… I sent her home, I got her name Ava, I remember I don’t know why I would show her that kind of gentle smile. I am so old, and there is a wish in my remnant body that is less than a few decades, the only wish, I want to marry her, it is a kind of make up, make up I used to owe Ellerty. I began to pursue her.”
……
“In July 1261, Ava, a simple archipelago girl, did not resist the offensive of the old man-I have money, I have infinite energy, profound knowledge… I am a retired’rich businessman’ from Ron Esset. “Altoran exudes a strong self-confidence, “She married me… I decided to move to Indalsfail, where it is quieter and no one disturbs our two-person world.”
“In November 1261, the four-month honeymoon period was as happy as a dream. I seemed to be back in my youth. My body was full of passion and enthusiasm. The simple and tidy private house, the small double bed, we were there every day. Together, it is never enough.”
The indifference on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a faint smile, “Our body and soul are in harmony, and I know her more and more. A simple girl who trusts me unreservedly has melted the ice in my heart… …She looks like Elodie, but I began to realize that she is even more Ava, a unique girl…I started to really accept her.”
“In December 1261, I noticed that her mood seemed a little wrong recently, her smile began to diminish, and occasionally she would stare at the sky in a daze with a depressed expression on her face.”
A haze appeared on Altoran’s handsome cheeks, and his voice became cold, as if a cold wind was blowing on the back of the neck, “I found the crux… She was parasitized by Dart.”
“I made a big mistake, and now I think that’Dart’ should have followed me all the way out of Risberg’s Fortress, but this special evil spirit, which was transformed by me using’Shim’ as a raw material, is cunning and insidious. It has been attracted but not sent, it clearly knows that it can’t move me. When I rescued Ava from the sea, her soul and will were in the weakest state, and Dart took advantage of it. “Dart” She began to weave a haze in her heart.”
“My many experiments in the past have proved that the process of evil spirits’ erosion is slow but firm, up to a year… the erosion of the soul will make her crazy and desperate… Her abnormal performance begins to aggravate.”
“But I can’t give her any comfort or explanation. The more she knows, the more flaws in her heart. Then’Dart’ will fill these holes with nightmares and pain.”
“The more I care about Ava and hate the creator’s evil spirit, the more fiercely I will torture her.”
“I started to neglect her deliberately, trying to make Dart mistakenly think that I am tired of her.” The man shook his head apologetically, “Sorry, Ava, from now on, only the necklace will be with you.”
……
“In March 1262, I kept going back and forth between Risberg Castle and home for the past four months. I used more than twenty inducers, exorcism devices, all of which were ineffective…” He looked tired and depressed. , “‘Dart’ was transformed too strong by us, and the necklace could not prevent Ava’s depression and pain from getting worse. She began to hallucinate.”
“I have no other choice. I can only try the ancient method used by the demon hunters against’Shim’, using another weak-willed soul manipulated by negative emotions to lure’Dart’.”
“I chose a target, Flandon, the gambler in another village. He lost all his family property because of gambling and hurt his wife and children indecently. He has always had deep guilt in his heart, but he didn’t show it. He began to abandon himself and fell into a bottomless abyss. I gave him a chance to atone for his sins. He seized the opportunity like a drowning man.”
“I used the technique to aggravate the guilt and guilt in his heart. I took Ava to fall asleep and took him to the bed…”
He shook his head and sighed.
“I tried continuously for nearly a week, but the plan didn’t work at all. Dart was dismissive of F**k…”
“It is not interested in ordinary souls.”
“It parasites Ava, just to make me, the creator, feel pain…It is only interested in my soul!”
Altoran’s face was gloomy, and his tone became cold and merciless,
“Even if I have a good impression of Ava, I am far from that point. The ruthless Altoran is not a knight guarding the princess… It’s time to leave, change a place, and spend the rest of my life…”
The image disappeared, and after a long period of darkness in the secret room, the screen lights up again.
“She nauseated and vomited today… I checked her body and found her…” The mage in the image became very strange. He stared at the empty place in a dream, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but grin open, and his tone began. Trembling, nervous, and a hint of surprise, “She has been pregnant for several months, and I have been running around, but I didn’t notice it.”
“I stepped into the road of magic at the beginning, and in order to strengthen my determination, I performed a magic ligation. It is logical that the process cannot be reversed. This is absolutely impossible… But I tested it with magic, and the child in her stomach was connected to me by blood, but I can’t see if there is any magic talent…”
“I can only say that this is a miracle.”
The man’s eyes released amazing brightness, the grace and calmness on his face, never seen again, he smiled…
“Life is always full of surprises. Creating a child with a woman seems to expand my life and soul. The ruthless Altolan has created hundreds of mutant creatures in his life. I will feel every time I create a successful life. To my heartfelt joy, a great sense of accomplishment!”
“But never once, as happy and happy as today…”
His tone was decisive, and flames ignited in his gray eyes, “Ava, my child, nothing can hurt them!”
……
“I gave Flandon a sum of money to buy his life, and I called him to this secret room… I killed him, and broke his bones one by one before he died, listening to him begging for mercy for two hours. …Unfortunately, my mood has not changed.” The man’s mouth still showed a happy smile at the moment, and the next moment, it was replaced by indifference.
“I think it’s too simple. Torture and killing an ordinary person doesn’t make Altoran feel guilty or sad. Thousands of live experiments in the past have proved my hard-hearted heart, and the only thing I care about Of the people, only Ava and the child.”
“For the first time, I feel that it is a sin to be strong inside.”
……
“In April 1263, I was looking for a way out in the library of Master Ron Essette. I ran into a prostitute on the street. At first glance, I mistakenly thought she was Ava, her back, face shape, nose, Just like Ava.”
“I thought of a way to deceive myself… I gave her a large sum of money and left it with her family, and then took her back to Indalsfair… I spent two weeks with her, and I had a good impression of her. Always inadvertently confuse her with Ava, it’s time to act-I took her to the secret room, tortured and killed her.”
“At that moment, I experienced feelings that I had not experienced for hundreds of years-guilt, pain…”
“The more guilty and painful, the greater the flaw in my mind-I approached Ava again after I got home. As expected, Dart’s heart moved, and I could feel the chaotic energy in the air, as it was about to move. .”
“But it’s not enough. This cunning evil spirit is worried that it won’t be able to conquer my will and soul. It didn’t attack easily.”
……
“May 1262.”
“I paid my favors and most of my savings, and found two other fake’Ava’s. My behavior is really ridiculous. A mage who takes magic exploration and truth as his ultimate ideal, finally started to deceive himself.” The man’s smile is full of bitterness…but his eyes are firm and calm.
“According to the old method, I spent some time with the two of them, treated them as Ava, developed a certain relationship, and then tortured and killed them again.”
Click, the effect goes out and reignites.
The man’s appearance changed drastically, he became unkempt, his simple and generous robe became wrinkled and muddy, he grinned, sometimes crying, sometimes grinning,
“Haha… personally hurt my’favorite person’… Haha, sad, guilt, pain… Every knife cut on her is like cutting herself and sending away my child by hand.”
“I rushed home when I was weakest. Ava actually committed suicide. Fortunately, the necklace stared at her for me… Fortunately, my method worked. I was already weak enough… “Dart” left without reluctance. Ava’s thin body is possessed by me, the creator, the enemy it hates most!”
“I succeeded, haha! This disgusting evil spirit can no longer threaten Ava and my children! I don’t feel too special, maybe I’m too pessimistic, and Dart can’t control me!”
He laughed madly, but there was a gleam in the corner of his eyes.
“I started to heal Ava with magic!”
“If I can hold on forever without being affected by Dart, then I can walk with her and watch the birth of a child. Decades are too short for me.”
“I don’t have to snub Ava anymore. I even told her the child’s name. The boy is called Asaph and the girl is called Dora!”
……
The eyeballs in the projection are prominent, and the sick-faced man touches the air affectionately, making a gesture of holding the child in his arms, just like a neurosis.
“Let me accompany you again, Ava, my child…”
“It’s a pity… how happy I was when I created Dart, how crazy it hurt me! My will to collapse was destroyed by it, it kept weaving illusions to me, manipulating my dreams, making me trance The guilt and negative emotions accumulated in my heart are like boiling water.”
“I have only been with Ava for three days. I can no longer control my actions. I woke up from meditation. I stood in front of Ava with the knife pointed at her belly. It would be an inch short. It wasn’t the anxiety in my heart that woke me up, I had already killed Ava and the child with my own hands.”
“Dart read my thoughts and understood my weaknesses. It will make me more painful and let me destroy my favorites with my own hands.”
“But how can I make that evil spirit do what I want?” The mage grinned madly, baring his white teeth, and roared hoarsely. “I will destroy it by myself!”
“I left home and returned to this secret room…I sealed myself and Dart.”
“As its creator, I know very well that there are only two ways to destroy it-either to expel it from the body for a long time, and then kill it, but it will never let me go. Nothing can More attractive than me.
The man in the image sat cross-legged in this secret room and suddenly raised his head. His thin, sickly pale face was nothing but despair and determination.
“So I only have a second way, and disappear with it!”
“But I can’t commit suicide… Physical death, it can eat my soul more easily, it will become stronger, get out of the circle, and go back to hurt Ava.”
“I have to destroy my soul and this parasite.”
“Anyway, I have lived more than 300 years old, and I have already lived enough, so I should end my retirement life early.”
“I have to find a safe way.”
……
“In June 1262, Idaran contacted me. He said that he had a method of’death of form and spirit.’ He said it was especially suitable for sinners like me.” The man in the projection no longer has the calmness of a mage. , And graceful demeanor, skinny, protruding cheekbones, and draped in tattered cloth strips, in this dark laboratory, like a human-shaped evil spirit, all bones on the cheeks showed an extremely gentle expression, staring behind the light curtain , Whispered,
“My child… If you can find this pool, break the illusion and enter this secret room, you are smart enough. When you turn on the image crystal, then you have inherited my magic talent.”
“You can choose to take the talisman and go to Kodwin’s Ben Ade College to enroll at your own expense. The cheque in the silk bag can be exchanged for 10,000 kronor at any Vivaldi bank, which is enough for your five-year tuition fee, or you can choose Use it to live an ordinary and happy life for ordinary people all their lives.”
“Finally, I want to tell you that the most correct thing I have done in my life is to marry your mother Ava. She should have remarried now and reorganize a happy family. Several men in the village have a crush on her, Ai Ji , Fahad…but I think according to her character, she should marry the honest Fahad. She deserves a better husband!”
“Hahaha!”
The man cried and laughed like a lunatic, and suddenly put his face in front of the light curtain. Only a piece of paper away from the demon hunter, the sandworm-like dense bloodshot eyes stared at him deeply, at least for a long time. Ten seconds.
As if to penetrate time and space, seeing the child who had not yet been born at that time.
Two teardrops fell to the corners of his eyes.
The Demon Hunter held his breath.
“Child, the greatest achievement of my life is to create you!
Time, it’s almost time, I should be on the road…
Love you forever, the ruthless Altoran…”
Katz…
The image is completely annihilated.
The secret room returned to darkness.
The Demon Hunter sighed, “It’s completely different from my guess.”
