"A twisted man walks a twisted path, walks a twisted sixpence in his hand, walks up twisted steps, buys a crooked cat that catches a crooked mouse, and they live together in a crooked hut. ”

Herwin hummed a little song and took the carving knife to leave intricate patterns on the shotgun.

There are many ways for witchers to survive.

Herwen's method is the kind that disgusts his kind.

Externally, he has always claimed that he relied on his wits and knowledge to set traps for the weaknesses of monsters and fool them to death.

Of course, that's not how he really dealt with monsters.

More important to the Witcher than this is the weapon that can damage the monsters.

And his weapons are forbidden knowledge and props.

The so-called taboo is not scary, for witchers, as long as they can destroy monsters, they don't care how dirty the means are.

Taboos are things that can lead humans to become evil and insane, and the vast majority of people who are good by nature will be polluted by them, and even if they are not depraved, they will suffer from mental illness, and eventually end up in torture and end up in eternal madness.

Even the most common villains are not immune to its effects.

Hervin smiled wickedly and raised his shotgun: "Hahahaha, with it, all the monsters and wicked people fell at my feet. ”

Don't get me wrong, Hewen is not affected by the forbidden power, but when he is alone, he will behave more naturally.

There are still a few people in the world who can completely ignore the influence of forbidden powers, and Hervin is one of them.

The shotgun's bullets are a mixture of lead and silver, which not only inflicts massive damage on monsters, but also inhibits potential self-healing abilities.

And the butt of this shotgun is inscribed with ancient incantations, which are more primitive, direct, and powerful than the magic words of the mage.

If necessary, this shotgun can devour the souls of enemies, but ordinary people often use their own souls to be devoured first.

This is his means of attack, and he does not need a means of defense.

He's not going to die.

He wasn't immortal during the years he was a witcher, and the reason why he wasn't afraid of death was simple.

He's been dead for a while.

These things weren't for Hara, but for the monster Jimmy saw.

He planned to take Hara to a safe place first, and then plan to deal with the guys who had imprisoned her.

"Well, you still have to make some preparations, the old demon hunter can't miss when he returns to battle, otherwise he will be disgraced. ”

After the monster existed, the witcher activated the magic array that had been prepared before, and it was impossible for it to enter the town, but there was a worst-case scenario.

That's where it's already in this town.

Jimmy stayed up all night last night.

After he encountered the monster, it was difficult for him to sleep well.

He wasn't afraid of the monster itself, but of a possibility.

He didn't even want to think deeply about a possibility.

That night, my father blocked the door of the utility room with his fat body, preventing him from entering, did he want to hide something? But why would he want to hide something?

Moreover, why did his father never return to the house when he closed the curtains, turned off the lights, and lay down in bed and pretended to sleep, and even the whole night, he did not return to the house.

Jimmy had asked her mother if she had slept in the shop that day because she was too busy, and that she had told her husband that she would not be home tonight.

Then Ogden, Jimmy's father, could never have been waiting for his mother.

Jimmy gave a subtle hint to his sister Nelly about some of the speculation, but Nelly didn't believe it.

The blonde boy pressed his eyebrows, he didn't know what he should do, he wanted to talk to Herwin about his suspicions, but before he could speak, he was chased away by the mayor.

Jimmy comforted himself by saying:

"At least I invited him to the banquet, and my father didn't stop me, I guess I was too suspicious. ”

In the downstairs kitchen across the wall, Ogden was blinded by a knife, handling the beef bought in the city, the silver-white blade sliding into the meat with precision, dividing it into nearly identical slices.

Hearing the footsteps of his wife Rebecca walking towards him, Ogden's face instantly showed a suitable smile, and he said with high spirits:

"I'm looking forward to this banquet. ”

Rebecca wrapped her hands around her husband's little belly:

"Oh, that Hewen you like, I still have to test him well, check for our daughter, and respect Nelly's ideas no matter how much you like him. ”

Ogden stroked his wife on his stomach and put his hands on him and said:

"Of course, my little goblin. ”

Rebecca blushed and pinched her husband's shoulder, which was what he called her when he was younger:

"Hmph, let Jimmy and Nelie go to bed early tonight, I'm going to punish you well. ”

Nellie was next door to Jimmy, reflecting on her actions today.

The girl in her pajamas wondered if she was really wrong about Herwen.

"No, if I really misunderstood, why didn't he tell me, I obviously asked him well, but he didn't give me an answer. ”

Nelly looked firm, and stretched her white little feet to the side of the bed:

"I won't forgive him unless he apologizes to me seriously, huh!"

And in Herwen's house.

Hara's hair was cut five centimeters above her shoulders, and she was completely blackened, and in her beautiful white gown, she was completely different from before.

Hora asked with some concern:

"Won't they really find out?"

"Of course, tomorrow I will take you to a banquet, so you should familiarize yourself with normal life in advance. ”

Hara's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly:

"Banquet, there are a lot of delicious food, I read from the book that the banquet has all kinds of delicacies that I have never seen before, do you still want to dance, can I dance with Hewen? Is it too late to learn now?"

"Wait, wait, we're just going to my friend's sister's college banquet, it's a private party, where do you see these things. ”

Hola showed an innocent expression:

"Books on the shelves, I've been reading when you're not at home. ”

"Dancing is usually an invitation to the opposite sex that you like, of course, there are more pure ballroom dances, but people like me and you are no longer of the same generation, they generally don't dance together, you have to find someone your age to dance with. ”

Hara retorted revolt:

"I like Herwin too. ”

"The two likes are not the same, alas, it's too difficult to explain these to children, forget it, you'll find out later. ”
