Herwin was about to ask for two invitations to Enid's banquet.

The streets of Wharton West are paved with flat and smooth stone tiles for the aristocracy and the wealthy to enjoy their leisure time.

In the middle of the street, there are both luxurious three-horse carriages and black cars in which the capitalists travel.

On both sides of the road, aristocratic ladies with parasols laughed like silver bells from time to time, talking about which dress would be prettier on whom, and several young men gathered in a circle and talked about what would happen to the Knights of England and the Church Army of the Primordial Fire.

Herwin was wearing a brown waistcoat, a gray shirt, and a plain black coat over it, and the man walked down the street, naturally blending into the crowd.

Until someone found him.

A blonde woman looked at Herwin from afar, a look of hesitation and uncertainty in her eyes.

But the next moment she lifted her skirt and walked towards Herwin with short steps.

The young and beautiful woman soon came to Hewen's side, and she looked at the man's changed cheeks with disbelief:

"You ......"

Finally, Nelly's eyes widened in surprise:

"Herwen, are you here in Wharton?"

Hewen nodded:

"Long time no see, Nelly. ”

As if realizing that her enthusiasm was too different from her previous attitude, Nelly cleared her throat and calmed her emotions, but the joy in her eyes could not be hidden in any way:

"Hewen, that, I want to say thank you so much for that, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, that monster would still be disguised as our father, and his body would be slowly rotting under the earth, and we wouldn't even be able to hold a funeral for him. ”

Hervin replied:

"It's okay, it's what I'm supposed to do. ”

Herwin's somewhat formal answer made Nelie not know how to answer, and she looked at Herwen's face a little crampedly, but her eyes didn't know where to go.

"Well, where are you going?"

Hervin replied:

"Visiting an old friend. ”

Nelly turned her head to look around and realized that the two were chatting in the middle of the street:

"Mr. Herwin, if you have time, you must come and sit in our house, Mother and Jimmy will be pleasantly surprised to see you, and our whole family would like to express our gratitude to you. ”

Hewen nodded:

"If I have time, I will definitely pay a visit. ”

Although he could sense Nelly's genuine joy, Herwin had no intention of actually visiting her family.

When he saw Rebecca on the street, he could feel a faint but firm resistance in the woman's eyes.

Hewen said casually:

"By the way, Motawi's Axe is with you now?"

Nelly pulled out the hatchet directly from her back:

"Yes, I carry it with me at all times. ”

Hervin says:

"How is your mother doing?"

Nelly replied:

"She's a good woman, and although her mother hasn't fully recovered from her father's death, she's recently returned to her normal life and often attends banquets with her new friends. ”

Nelly showed a reluctant look, but her tone did not hesitate:

"Hewen do you want the axe back, if you want to go back, I'll give it back to you, you gave it to your mother in the first place, and I don't think I have the right to have it even if she gave it to me. ”

Hewen shook his head:

"It wasn't that I gave the Motawi's Axe to your mother, it chose Rebecca, and now it's not Rebecca who gave you the axe, but the axe that chose you. ”

Nelly wondered:

"Chose me?"

Hervin says:

"Mottavi doesn't just change its owner's axe, if it abandons its original owner, and it's not because the original owner died, then there's only one possibility. ”

Nelly's voice was a little nervous:

"Is there anything wrong with Mother?"

Hervin says:

"It thinks its owner is no longer worthy of it, otherwise even if it is buried by its owner, Mottavi will return to it the next day.

"It will only be held by those who have courage, and your mother may well have lost her courage. ”

Nelly asked eagerly:

"What courage, the courage to face life?"

Hewen smiled slightly:

"While Motawi is not the kind of evil axe that kills its owner, it is also not a good weapon for goodness, and the courage to kill is required to hold it. ”

Nelly was stunned:

"But I don't dare to kill. ”

Hervin replied:

"Only those who admit the difficulty of killing need the courage to kill, the nobleman does not need courage to give orders, and a child does not need courage to pull the trigger that does not know what it does"

Rebecca had more courage than anyone else, and knew better than anyone what it would take to kill someone, but now she had forgotten. ”

nelly says:

"Isn't it good to forget the pain?"

Hervin says:

"Of course, it's good to forget the pain, but what Rebecca forgot is the courage to face the pain in the first place, and it's better to spend more time with your mother.

"Courage is not something that lasts only a day or two, and if Rebecca has not experienced anything, it is impossible to lose the trust of Motawi's Axe. ”

Nelly reflexively opened her mouth, she wanted to ask Herwen for help, but the next moment she reacted, she was not qualified to ask Herwen for help.

Hewen had already helped them too much, and now she owed Herwin, not Herwin.

Nelly straightened her face:

"Uncle Herwen, if you have time, you must come to Taylor's Mansion to see me and my mother, we would like to thank you very much. ”

Hervin says:

"Definitely, if I'm free. ”

Realizing that she had nothing to say to Herwen, Nelly turned her head to look at the surroundings, and then said slowly:

"Well, then I'll go first, by the way, I'll only be at home every Saturday and Sunday, and if Herwin wants to find me, he can go to Wharton to find me. ”

Herwin gave the girl a polite smile and moved on.

Nelly stood there and watched Herwin head towards the center of the city, and at this moment she suddenly thought about what kind of mood Herwen would be in if she turned back at this time.

Excited, nervous, or scared?

Nelly didn't know.

There are many things she doesn't know, for example, she doesn't know why she just said those words, she doesn't know what kind of feelings she has at the moment.

At the same time, she didn't know that Hervin wasn't telling the whole truth, especially about Motawi's Axe.

He did not tell the maiden that while it was true that the Lord's Axe was chosen by whether a person had the courage to kill, the axe required more than Hervin said.

The more you crave, the more.
