The Divine Hunter

Chapter 28 Missing Daughter

Todd, like most ordinary people, was born into an ordinary family in Nuocheng.

The mother is a gentle and strong woman, and the father, Frank, is a sailor who has worked under the one-eyed Jack for decades and drifted on the sea of ​​Skellige for half his life.

Todd rarely saw his father, and his strong mother raised him alone.

But he inherited Frank's temperament, uneasy about the status quo, and eager to make achievements.

Even at the age of 20, after having a wife and daughter, Todd still stubbornly chose to leave Nuocheng to pursue a life of excitement and adventure.

This is fifteen years.

He roamed the kingdoms of the North, and wherever war broke out, he was there: he had helped Prince Seward put down a rebellion in Ellander, and he had joined a group of peasants in a rebellion against the mountains in Holloton, Willen. The thief exploited the battle, and was awarded the title of honorary townsman of Holoton after winning.

In fifteen years, Todd survived hundreds of battles of various scales and became an elite mercenary.

But he has become more hard-hearted than his father Frank, and has never returned home for more than ten years.

Haven't seen a parent or wife and daughter once.

Until the age of thirty-five, after accepting the employment of Queen Calanthe of Sintra Kingdom and doing reconnaissance work in the Amer Mountains for a year. For the first time in his life, Todd felt tired, lonely, and missed.

After fifteen years of daydreaming, I have earned nothing but a sum of money.

Building a career is even more of a joke.

His inner longing urged him, and he knew it was time to go home.

So he put aside all his worries and returned to his homeland where he loved and hated, and left Nuocheng for more than ten years.

"I thought there would be a warm home with a table full of rich wine and food waiting for me." Todd stared at the magic lamp under the ceiling, his eyes blurred and his tone low.

After listening to this story, Roy's face became complicated. To a certain extent, Todd's experience was similar to that of a witcher... wandering, loneliness, death, and years of fighting.

But why did he study with his unreliable father Frank, so confused and cruel?

Obviously have a wife and children but do not know how to cherish.

Leaving behind an aging mother, a young wife, and a young daughter, no matter what, for fifteen years.

No sense of responsibility!

"But I only waited for an empty home when I returned to Nuocheng..." Todd sat on the sofa with his flushed cheeks drooping, resting on his knees with one hand and wiping his eyes with the other, "All dead, all dead."

Roy was startled.

"My mother Olena died of tuberculosis ten years ago!"

"My wife, Colleen, also died of tuberculosis eight years ago!"

"Frank, he drank to death five years ago..."

Todd's voice came to an abrupt end, his chest heaving and his nose was blowing rough.

Roy is silent, most ordinary people in this world have this ending, right? due to illness or accidental death.

Being able to live until old age and death is just an unreachable luxury.

He sighed, "I remember you mentioned that there is a daughter, where is she?"

"Master Roy, this is what I want to ask you for..." Todd said bitterly, "about my last relative, my little Aisha..."

"I've been looking for her since I returned to Nuocheng." Todd choked and calmed himself down.

"According to my recent investigation, after Frank's death, Elsa lived alone, relying on her family's savings... Until half a year ago, when her savings ran out, she moved to a flower shop in the south of Nuocheng to work, and she usually had food and lodging. over there."

The unexpected discovery made the tired mercenary seem to see another way of life.

The witcher saw longing and hope in his eyes.

"I guess it didn't go so well," Roy said.

"But when I found the flower shop, the owner of the flower shop actually told me that Elsa had been missing for a month!" Todd's tone suddenly turned cold, "She left the flower shop one morning without leaving any clues or traces, silently disappeared without a trace."

The man was full of anger and worried, stood up and paced anxiously, but he didn't lose his mind after all, "The clerks have searched the neighborhood, and the soldiers of Eternal Fire have also searched everywhere, but it's useless!"

Roy shook his head. A weak and beautiful little girl suddenly disappeared in Novigrad. What could happen?

"I know that it's useless to find a mess, and the entire Novigrad people, if you say the most well-informed, is the beggar king Francis Bellan who is everywhere. No sin can escape his eyelids." Todd said solemnly, "I took the initiative to approach the Beggar King and promised to pay a large sum of money... and he made a promise to mobilize all the resources in the gang to find Aisha for me."

"But half a month has passed, and there is no news from the Beggar King!" Todd suddenly stopped, slumped on the sofa, his gray eyes stared at the ceiling, trembling and crying, "God, let I'll find Elsa, even if I take a look at her... I'm willing to pay any price!"

The witcher's expression turned serious.

Even the "His Majesty Beilan" with his eyes and hands was not able to find any clues.

This disappearance case is probably unusual.

"Master Roy, I know that witchers possess all kinds of magical powers, and they are best at finding traces!"

"If you help me find Elsa—"

Todd stretched his neck and gritted his teeth, "I have saved a sum of money as a mercenary for more than ten years, and I will give it all to you! Including this house!"

Saying that, he went to the second floor to take down a peculiarly shaped saber and put it in front of the witcher, "If it's not enough, add this weapon, it's a trophy I found after killing a robber, Accompanying me for several years, the quality is far better than ordinary steel swords."

With a move of Roy's wrist, the general knife pulled out the thick leather scabbard, and a cold white light suddenly swept across the air,

Bright and dazzling, its casting process is different from the northern style, the blade is almost straight, the arc is softer than ordinary scimitars, the blade surface is smooth and bright, only a crescent-like arc at the tip, and the handle is decorated with sapphire , the back of the knife is covered with delicate and complicated patterns.

When Roy touched the blade with his fingertips, he felt a chill and stinging pain, and a white line split instantly.

"Oufeier saber, a good weapon." Roy's eyes flashed a strange color, he inserted the general saber into the scabbard again, and handed it back.

"Why, isn't the master satisfied?" the big man asked nervously.

"Keep the knife, you can keep the money yourself, I can't use the house!"

Roy shook his head, the purpose of this trip was not to make money.

"I was going to bring a greeting to your father Frank, but since he's gone, bring it to his granddaughter."

"I'll shoot for free and help you find Aisha!"

Just to repay Old Jack's help at the beginning.

"How can this work, how can you let you do it for nothing?!" The big man was surprised, and then puzzled.

"I'm just entrusted by others. For loyalty, if you want to thank you, thank One-Eyed Jack."

The big man moved his lips, but didn't say anything, he just looked grateful.

"Your Excellency Todd, I said a few ugly words. You should know that you are very responsible for the disappearance of your daughter Aisha!" Roy struck bluntly, "If you had earlier When they return home in 2018, and by their side, death and disappearance can be avoided."

"I was wrong, I'm sorry for them, I have no conscience!" The burly man's eyes were red, and he slapped his mouth, almost hysterically berating himself, "I must atone! So... Master Roy, please do your best. !"

Drifting and wandering outside for more than ten years.

In the end, Todd realized that what he really wanted wasn't a dream of making a living, it was just a frivolous fantasy of his youth. The treasure he most desires is within reach - a family that has been neglected.

But when he came to his senses and the prodigal son turned back, they all left him.

Ironic.

Roy said solemnly, "Lord Todd, the reality is often more cruel than expected, and the final investigation result may make you feel unbearable. You have to be mentally prepared."

The man's face instantly turned pale, of course he knew that possibility.

But he didn't want to give up any hope.

"I understand that if something happens to my Aisha, I hope that the master will find out her murderer and hand it over to me..."

The big man lowered his head, his face buried in the shadows, and only clenched his fists.
