35. Deception and enlightenment
Maika stood with difficulty, looking at the stranger who had suddenly appeared:
"Thanks, are you?"
The huge spider that obscured the sky and the sun dispersed like smoke and dust, and Hewen waved his hand, using an illusion to isolate the two.
George and the Bishop were already on their way, but they couldn't find Herwin.
Hewen patted Maika on the shoulder:
"Talking as you go?"
Maika simply treated the wound:
"Hmm. ”
Hervin says:
"Long time no see. ”
Maika scratched the back of her head:
"You know me?"
There are subtle changes in the details of Herwen's face:
"Mika, I remember when you were a kid and you looked a lot more naughty than you are now. ”
Maika will never forget this kind of face, and was pleasantly surprised:
"Hevendelenge, you're still alive!"
Hovendelenger's name is legendary, preventing the Witchers from dominating the world with monsters, and many Witchers speculate that his battle with the betrayer fulfilled the long-cherished wish of all the Witchers.
"What about your teacher? She didn't die that easily. ”
Maika is also unclear about the answer to this question:
"It's been a long time since I've been able to contact her, and she set out to hunt a legendary monster before you disappeared, and she hasn't come back yet. ”
Hervin raised his eyebrows:
"Did she touch the Dao Legend?"
"I don't know, but at least I'm still fragile like a child in front of her, and she told me before she left that she probably won't come back. ”
But she went anyway. ”
"Well, the teacher said that was her fate. ”
"Well, that's what she'll say. ”
Maika asked the question that was holding back in her heart:
"You survived, so what happened in the first place, why didn't you hear from you for so long. ”
Herwin stretched out his right hand and passed it through Maika's chest, a ripple on the surface of contact.
Herwin lied without any burden:
"My body is still in a very far place, you can see it is just my illusion, I saved you this time just by chance, in fact, I have something to find you. ”
Maika exclaimed:
"Illusions, are you trapped somewhere, do you need me to get someone to rescue you?"
Hewen showed a complicated expression and continued to make up:
"No, there are still quite a few traitors lurking around us, and the most they want to do now is to torture me to death.
"And I don't need help for the time being, so you remember not to give away the fact that I'm still alive. ”
Maika was shocked and said:
"There are still people who believe in his balance of good and evil? Obviously, you have proved that he is the king of monsters, and he himself has admitted it, and so many others have seen it with their own eyes. ”
Once upon a time, a legendary witcher, using a near-true theory, secretly developed a number of supporters in an attempt to kill and imprison other legendary witchers, and their first target was Hervin.
Hewen tugged at the corners of his mouth:
"There are also people who are not there at the beginning, who always have a fluke mentality, who do not want to believe that the cause they have sacrificed everything to achieve is a scam, who do not want to believe that the man they worship is a bad person, and who do not want to believe that they have really fallen, such people will always come up with all kinds of reasons to explain their actions.
"Only then will they not be accomplices of the devil, but heroes who are misunderstood by the world. ”
Maika nodded:
"I totally understand, so what are you looking for me for?"
Hervin explains:
"Although the era of monster infestation is over, it will soon usher in the first wave of resurgence, although it is far from the original situation, but it will also be a disaster for a world without witchers. ”
"So what am I going to do. ”
"You have to warn the world, and warn the other witchers, that the monsters are not completely gone, and that they are still hiding in corners and licking their wounds until one day they can make a comeback. ”
"But how could they believe me. ”
Hewen took out a book from his bosom and said unceremoniously:
"There's an explanation of why the monsters are returning, and I know you can't read it, so you can go to Melvin and he'll warn the others. ”
Maika solemnly put away the book.
Hervin took Maika to safety before disappearing where she was.
Herwin returned home with Hera, and he instructed the servants to leave first.
He's having a family conversation.
The girl stood in the corner, looking down at her toes.
"I was wrong. Hola said first.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Herwin.
The girl gave a perfect answer:
"Everything is wrong. ”
Herwin shook his head:
"Be clear. ”
"I shouldn't have gone out without Hewen. ”
"Why do you want to go out?"
"Because ......," Hara grimaced, "because I'm a monster, and I don't want you to know that I lied to you, Herwin." ”
Herwin continued to ask:
"Oh, why are you a monster?"
Hara raised her hands a little self-defeatingly, and then her body flowed like a liquid, instantly growing taller and more like Hervin.
Hewen said with a flat expression:
"Just because you can shapeshift?"
Hara said in Hevin's voice:
"Hewen, I'm a monster, I'm not even a human, even if Hewen can accept me, I'm still a monster, and I'll only cause trouble for Hewen. ”
Hola returned to her original form and continued:
"And Hewen, I can't just change my appearance, I can also become someone else's favorite appearance, the most feared appearance, the most hated appearance, I'm a down-and-out, monster who takes advantage of people's hearts, I read the novel, I know I'm a bad person. ”
"But you didn't become a certain person according to my preference, you didn't deliberately mislead me. ”
The girl holds the corner of the skirt:
"I just didn't have time, just a little bit ......"
Herwin snapped his fingers and became a little boy who looked seven points like him.
"I can also shapeshift, you see I became a child, and I have also become your favorite appearance in this age, am I also a monster, am I a bad person?"
Hora shook her head hurriedly:
"Of course Herwin is not a bad person, even if Herwin is a bad person, I will not ......"
Herwin interrupted her:
"You see that I am neither a monster nor a bad person, what kind of monster are you, do you kill more people than me, or do you eat people for no reason. ”
Hara shook her head slowly:
"But, Hewen, you're human......"
Hervin chuckled:
"Who told you I'm human?"
Hala has a small mouth slightly open:
"Huh?"
Herwin is not good at enlightening children, he will only say what he agrees with:
"Listen to me, it's not his race and ability that determine what a person is, it's his mind and heart, before the birth of man, giants have ruled the world, are humans monsters to giants?
"The guy who brutally slaughters intelligent beings for no reason is a monster, you're just a special kid, some kids are good at science, some are good at sports, you're just good at shapeshifting. ”
The girl's eyes lit up with an inexplicable light.
Obviously he has accomplished his goal, but for some reason, there is a trace of panic in Hewen's heart.
