Hera's eyes were full of surprise when she saw Hodge push the door in, and she babbled away from the wooden chair and hugged him affectionately.

Devany couldn't stop being surprised, but in Hodge's opinion, she was more "surprised" than important.

"Why are you here so soon?"

Devany remembered that Dunbar had only been out for a short time, and even if she had found him at once, she wouldn't have taken him to the parlor so quickly.

"No, you were just outside the door?" suddenly understood Daphne.

"Pretty much. ”

Hodge reached out to comb Hera's hair, the cold weather had dried out little Hera's soft hair, and it was obvious that many of the strands had been twisted together under the gentle pull.

"What do you mean by almost. Daphne grumbled, "So you know the girl?"

"Acquaintance, there was some accident after the legion left the city this time, we were separated from the large army, and finally met in the cave, so we groped outside the dense forest together, and we were together until we came out, and naturally we knew each other. ”

"That is—little lover?"

"What do you think? ”

Hodge really admired the imagination of women, Dunbar, and so did Daphne......

Wait a minute!

"Girl?"

He opened his mouth in disbelief: "You know she's a woman?"

With Dunbar's character, he would never reveal such crucial information to Daphne, so how did she know?

"It's a girl, and although it's quite masculine, I recognize it. "She must have had some powerful spell cast by a great magician, and I think it must have been a trick to disguise her identity?" ”

Dunbar had told him that the Confusion Charm was enough to fool the "master" witches, and it just so happened that Daphne was at this stage.

Either Dunbargao saw the power of the Confusion Charm.

Either...... What other abilities is Daphne hiding.

The images that you see after devouring the beads are characterized by the characters as "the truth of the world", which means that they are really what happened.

But those images are clearly in a different era than they are now.

The woman in the picture, Renfrey, whom Devany calls her sister, is also a witch, right?

But when she appeared in the human camp, she was treated not by hunting, but by cheering, and Hodge could see the longing and admiration for her in the eyes of those soldiers, and the same was true for Devne, who appeared later, not at all like what could have happened to the witch when she had been hunted and hidden.

How many years ago did witch hunting start?

There is also the mutated brown bear, the mutant monster has just appeared in people's field of vision, and the types that can be transformed are still limited to petite rabbits, sheep, cows, deer, wolves, etc., and I have never seen such a huge large mutated creature, which should be because the other party's mastery of technology is still extremely limited.

That's a picture of the past, and it's quite far away.

He couldn't help but think of the mutant "dirt earthworm" he first encountered.

In its introduction, it is written that "the calamity that destroyed an era has struck again, even if it has been delayed for a thousand years."

Could it be that a thousand years ago?

Daphne ......

"Daphne, I have some questions for you. ”

"You say. ”

"About mutated monsters, when was the first time you saw them. ”

"Mutant monsters, if you're referring to the things that attacked the Stone Castle, I've never actually seen them at all, just the corpses of winged deer from afar. ”

She lies again!

She didn't tell the truth.

She easily defeated a mutated giant brown bear in those images, why did she avoid talking about it?

"Renfrey. ”

Hodge said in a soothing tone, "Do you have an impression of this name?"

"How do I always think you're weird today. ”

Devine frowned and said decisively, "I've never even heard of this name. ”

Hodge took a deep breath, trying not to let his words tame his emotions: "Daphne ......"

"How old are you?"

The stunned look on Daphne's face couldn't be more obvious, and even her movements began to stiffen a little: "It's so rude, how can you ask a lady such a question?"

"I want to know. ”

"But I don't want to tell you. ”

Hodge felt a cool sadness inexplicably, and looked at her with a little sorrow: "You have hidden a lot of secrets from me. ”

"It's like this for everyone, and you should know what personal privacy is. ”

"Does privacy include deception, like you killed a mutant brown bear and didn't tell me the truth, like your intimacy with Renfrey and deliberately didn't know you?"

"I told you, I don't know any mutant brown bears, and I don't know any Renfrey!"

"Why lie to me. ”

"Enough!"

Devany lost her temper rarely, at least it was the first time Hodge had seen her look so angry, she frowned in displeasure, and said in a vicious tone, "You should calm your head down, haven't you realized how wrong you are right now?"

She took Hera's hand, glanced at Hodge, said nothing, pushed the door open and walked out.

Hodge was the only one left in the living room.

"I really didn't expect that one day I would use this ability on you......"

He sighed and said softly, "Psychology." ”

"Psychological Judgment: 65/1 (Great Success)"

"Get an absolute analysis"

"She wasn't lying"

Hodge was silent for a long time before he lightly opened his lips, which were already dry to the point of cracking.

"Why?"

Devany was telling the truth, she had never seen a mutant brown bear, and she didn't know Renfrey at all.

But in those images she was completely different.

Isn't it the same person?

No, there are too many similarities between the two, and considering that the witch is unable to have children, it can also rule out the possibility that the current Devine is the heir of Devine in the picture.

What is the reason for such a contradictory situation?

........................

In the corner of the terrace, Daphne was leaning against the railing, watching the calm sea outside.

Hodge approached, with some guilt.

"Coming?" she seemed to have been waiting for Hodge for a long time.

"Hmm. ”

Hodge leaned against the railing side by side with her.

"I'm sorry for saying those excessive things to you. ”

“...... It's okay, I'm not as angry as you think. "But I wonder why you would say such a questioning thing?"

Can you tell her?

Can you tell her everything you see?

Hodge thought about it for a long time, but finally gambled on the biggest gamble he'd ever made, and put a lot of chips on it.

"Do you believe those images? What if that's what you say the brood is deliberately trying to let you see?"

"Nope. Hodge affirmed, "I believe it happened." ”

This time it was Devany's turn to be silent.

"I can't tell you the answer directly, because even I don't know the answer. But what I can tell you is that it could be my ......."

"Dai?"

Devany took a deep breath: "This time I went to Antler Bay, and it wasn't just your physical problems that I had to solve. ”

"And my ...... at the same time"

She tapped her head.
