"How?" asked the sheriff, "can you tell what animal is doing it?"

"There were signs of gnawing on his body, but it was very slight, and it was not obvious from the bite marks that it was an animal, and the skull cut was smooth, and it was difficult for even a fine blade to inflict such damage, and his brain did not look like it had been taken out, but more like it had been eaten here. ”

Herwin stood up from the corpse and shook his head slightly.

"I've never seen a beast like this, and if it were a human, I wouldn't be able to explain the tooth marks on it. ”

"Hewen, you really don't want to help. They said the price could be negotiated again. The mayor asked suddenly.

"Didn't you find anyone else?"

The mayor smiled bitterly:

"Hah, we'll look for it then. But people look down on such a trivial matter as finding a fugitive.

"Herwen, I know that although you are very low-key, your origin is definitely not simple, there must be many wonderful stories in your past, you must have been to many places, so have you seen anything strange, something that people can't believe. ”

"What's that?"

The mayor calmly asked:

"Do you believe there are monsters in this world?"

Hewen frowned slightly:

"Monster, what exactly do you mean?"

There was a strange glint in the mayor's eyes:

"I don't know, werewolves, ghouls, things like that, my father told me that the world used to be full of monsters, and I always thought of it as a story until I saw something with my own eyes.

"I was in the witcher's dwelling, and I saw a taxidermy monster and a magical weapon......"

Hewen interrupted:

"Witcher?"

Mayor Mare smiled apologetically:

"Oh, I forgot you didn't know, this is a secret passed down from my family, on the hill behind our town, there lives an old demon hunter, hah? ”

Mayor Mare went on to explain:

"In the past, there were all kinds of monsters in this world that threatened the lives of humans, and the witchers were the heroes who destroyed the monsters. ”

Herven pouted, witchers were never heroes, they were just a group of experts at dealing with monsters.

"But in modern times, Hewen has never seen any so-called monsters, because fifty years ago, monsters were almost extinct. ”

Hewen pretended to be listening attentively and didn't speak, because he didn't know how to explain to the mayor that the extinction of monsters had a lot to do with him.

The mayor of the town had a look of envy on his face:

"And the witchers have many magical abilities, such as the witcher who lives in seclusion here, who came here fifty years ago, and when I saw him, he was as young as my family remembers. ”

In fact, there are also witchers who don't rely on magic, and hunt monsters with pure skill and strength, but they are also a rare breed, and the vast majority of witchers do have all kinds of magical abilities as the mayor said, and most of them are specialized abilities for dealing with monsters for tens of thousands of years.

And unlike wizards, mages and warlocks, the unique lineages of witchers are often not able to learn from each other, and they have a strong sense of independence and exclusivity.

However, the knowledge of monsters is the opposite, and the Witchers like to communicate with each other in this area, which also allows all Witchers to quickly grasp the weaknesses of a large number of monsters and how to deal with them.

The mayor continued:

"All in all, the Master Demon Hunter kicked me down at random, back to our topic, since there are monsters in this world, then this scene is most likely caused by monsters, then it is not something we can handle. ”

"So you're going to ......," Hewen guessed the mayor's thoughts.

Mayor Mare smiled smugly:

"That's right, since the Venerable Demon Hunter Master is reluctant to get involved in such a trivial matter as chasing down a criminal, then if it is a monster, he must have taken action himself. ”

"Mayor Mare!" a law enforcement officer ran over, "we can't stop these two guys, they have to come." ”

"We have something to tell you. The two detectives that Hervin had seen at the beginning walked towards this side with solemn expressions.

The tall and thin man looked at Hervin and said:

"It's some personal matter, if you don't mind......"

Herwin understood his hint:

"It just so happens that I'm going home to take care of my niece, so she might be scared. ”

Seeing Hewen leave, the tall and thin detective looked at the mayor:

"Does he have a niece?

Mayor Marew shook his head:

"Just came to town. ”

The tall and thin man continued to ask:

"How long have you been here?"

"It's been two weeks. ”

The tall and thin man nodded reassuringly:

"This matter has to be kept strictly confidential, and your people should set up a cordon and not let anyone in, including themselves. ”

The mayor's face was a little ugly:

"This can't be your fugitive, it's not a wound that humans can inflict. ”

The tall and thin detective looked the mayor up and down suspiciously:

"You don't have to worry about that, what? You don't want to work with us anymore? Or do you want to be taken to court and let everyone know what you've done?"

Mayor Marew bowed his head:

"No, of course not. ”

From the first day of working with them, Mayor Mare knew this was going to happen, and he has been preparing for this day.

The tall and thin detective continued to remind:

"And don't tell the witcher about it. ”

The mayor raised his head suddenly, and suddenly realized:

"You're not chasing fugitives at all. ”

Another muscular detective who had never been spoken to smiled and showed two rows of white teeth:

"No, we are indeed after fugitives, our fugitives. ”

The tall and thin detective continued:

"Do you really care about that? As long as you know that if you cooperate with us, you will have money to make, and that is not enough?"

"But I don't want my town to be shattered by monsters. ”

Detective Sturdy promises:

"Of course, don't you still have us?"

And in town.

Back here, Herwin was picking out Hara's groceries when an irritating voice came from the side.

"Isn't this our legendary hunter, Mr. Hervin, why, did you buy these things to kidnap little girls?"

Jimmy's sister, Nelly, was standing behind him.

Herwin turned and looked at her:

"Nelly, I'm not a bad person. ”

Nelly was seen to be a little weak, not only took half a step back, but then seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and said without confidence:

"They don't know who you are, but I know what you are, Mr. Hunter, I've seen you, I've seen it with these eyes. ”
