Chapter 8: The Witch's Cottage
The safest thing to do is to put the gun right now.
But his instincts told him it wasn't a good idea.
"Can I still get out when I come in?"
Grandin asked, keeping his cool.
He held the ancient gold coin in his hand, and with his spiritual infusion, 'stealing the gold coin' began to perceive the thoughts of the 'witch'.
"I saved up for a long time to buy this house, so I hope it stays intact." The red-haired lady did not look back, and the light black gauze dress outlined the moving curves.
She was telling the truth.
Grandin, who sensed the witch's thoughts through the gold coins, mentally confirmed the location of his weapons and charms, and then stepped into the room where the witch had walked.
"Click!"
The 'witch' who had led the way into the house had already twisted the gas lamp, and the orange fire lit up, dispelling the darkness in the room.
The furnishings in the room did not match the exterior of the house at all. All the furniture inside is warm and warm, which makes people feel warm.
The red-haired lady turned her head to see Grantin just standing in the drawing-room, and she chuckled:
"Why are you so restrained? I'm not going to eat you again. ”
Her tiny tongue licked mischievously on her lips.
The touching style made Grandin lose his mind for a moment, but he immediately shuddered:
"It's a man, it's a man!"
After repeating it twice in his mind, his eyes returned to clarity.
"You're the one hiding in the shadows and peeping at me today? What shall I call you, this lady? ”
The red-haired 'witch' sat generously on the living room couch. Her legs were folded, and her black gauze skirt was shortened as she sat down.
She nodded a little lazily, and then said:
"You can call me Rowena, the handsome Mr. Night Watchman."
Her movements were full of amorousness, but Grandin's heart was like water, and he sat opposite Rowena with a cold face.
"Lady Rowena, why did you attack us on Monday, June 11th?"
Rowena wrapped her fingers around a bundle of hair, her tone was a little nonchalant, but her answer was unusually cheerful:
"That was the mission, and at that time I was only targeting you, and the others were just incidental."
This answer was completely unexpected. His hands were in his pants pockets and he was still holding 'Steal Gold' in his hands, so he knew that the answer was also true.
But at that time, he had only been in Beckland for more than a month, and he should have never had a grudge with anyone except Charles. And Charles's case was closed with the help of the church, and there must have been no troubles, so why was he targeted?
"Task? Who gave you the task? He asked.
Rowena's expression was grim, and she crossed her hands into fists and put them on her chest:
"We are all primordial children, and we all have to be close to the primordial."
This answer almost made Grandin cry out on the spot, "Goddess save me!" But he barely managed to keep his composure, and sat on the couch without moving.
But this appearance made Rowena misunderstand, and she was afraid that Grandin would not understand, so she continued:
"The One who is above all of us in the Church gave the order a long time ago. Let's hunt the extraordinaries of all 'monster' pathways. The higher the target sequence of the hunt, the easier it is to gain His favor. We have special sensing skills, so when you show up in Beckland, I'm on assignment. ”
Grandin almost didn't hold back, this witch was actually >>

Do you have to be aggressive to yourself because of the influence of the high sequence of the same pathway?
He flipped through his limited memories, combined with Rowena's revelations, and he quickly deduced something.
What is this? He blamed all the misfortunes and pains he had suffered on fate, so he wanted to take revenge on fate?
Grandin, who had eaten a large melon by surprise, stayed in place, and the big melon smashed on his head.
"You have to believe that I have no ill will towards you. But His command must not be disobeyed, and I must do it once to receive His forgiveness. ”
Rowena explained with such a pleasant face.
"Forgiveness? Shouldn't it be to gain favor? What should I call you, maybe Roy? Grandin sarcastically said.
The 'Assassin' path will become a female as soon as you are promoted to the 'Witch' in Sequence 7.
He remembered that the lady in front of him had attempted murder! If it weren't for the fact that he was more special, the entire team of night watchers would have almost been cold.
"Don't compare me to them!"
Rowena showed her disgust for the first time, her chest heaving violently, and she gasped for a few moments before she continued:
"Mr. Nightwatch, it won't do you any good to provoke me. You know, the Witch Sect isn't all men. There are still a small number of pure witches with different philosophies who are active in this world. ”
"It's just that it's a difficult situation, and I don't think your Lord would have good intentions for your existence."
Grandin concluded.
Rowena didn't speak, but acquiesced to this statement, and she said frankly:
"It's fine in the middle and low ranks, but the higher you advance, the more you get affected. Only by constantly hunting those extraordinary who are favored by fate can we continue to survive. ”
Grandin never imagined that he would identify the enemies in his path in this way. But Rowena seems to be asking for help from herself?
He said coldly:
"Please show your worth." ???.. coM
Rowena was not affected by him in the slightest, and she returned to her amorous appearance, and said:
"I failed this time, but you have entered the sights of the sect. They'll also send someone else to hunt you, and I'll let you know in advance so you're ready. ”
"Can't you tell me where they are and let me wipe them out?" Grandin asked rhetorically.
Rowena just smiled, and it was clear that Grandin wasn't of such value for the time being, making her determined to do so.
Grandin also thought it through, so he continued to ask:
"What do you want from me?"
Rowena's expression was calm:
"The path of our 'witches' is full of suffering, so I want to be favored by fate. Your performance in Beckland made me understand that you can't stay here all the time, that you're going to be on a bigger and more gorgeous stage. At that point, please look down at me. ”
This is her request.
Am I being invested?
Fate, you're so unpredictable!
"You're so optimistic about me? Because I escaped your assassination? ”
Grandin believes that his personality charm is not so great that others will bow down, and his strength in front of everyone should still be within the normal range.
"I'm sorry, I can't say that."
Rowena the Witch bowed her head again.
Now it seems that the Witch Sect is not monolithic, and there is a lot of room for maneuver in it.
