16. Set off and hunt
"Mrs. Lester, I can do it for you if it's convenient. A familiar voice persuaded.
The witcher leaned against the wall with a cigar in his mouth, and Hewen had returned to the house at some point.
The evil glow on the handle of the axe became even more vigorous, and Rebecca replied:
"I know, but I'd like to get my hands dirty if I could. ”
Seeing that Rebecca had no intention of letting go of the axe, Hervin did not continue to persuade.
Ogden looked into Rebecca's eyes:
"Peter, I've already killed you, and when the witcher has dealt with the other person, you can get out of here. ”
Rebecca's hand holding the handle of the axe trembled slightly.
"Nelly's college tuition ......" Ogden paused and smiled relievedly, "Forget it." ”
"Also, I'm sorry. ”
Mrs. Lester raised her axe and fell, revealing only the head of the shapeshifter with its mouth on the ground, its claws and its withered white body, which had both human and beast features.
Mrs. Lester was surprisingly calm.
Herwin looked at No. 17's corpse and said:
"The vast majority of shapeshifters don't need to hurt others to change their form and directly read other people's memories, and it's rare to see this type that requires cannibalistic brains, and of course, they can't empathize with the memories of their original owners, but it's a pity. ”
Rebecca Lester looked at Hervin and pleaded:
"Can you give us a ride, I want to take the kids out of here by train. ”
The witcher asked:
"Where are you going?"
"Wharton, this Ogden is a monster, but really Ogden would have suggested that, I want to get out of this town and find a place that doesn't remind me of the past. ”
"Will you be able to survive there?"
Rebecca is strong:
"It's okay, I can contact my father, although I don't have a good relationship with him, he won't watch me starve to death. ”
Herwin complied with her request:
"Of course, Nelly is my friend. ”
Hewen looked at the axe in Rebecca's hand again:
"It's the weapon of an old friend of mine. ”
Rebecca's weapon immediately figured out that it was a relic, no wonder it would be in a glass case.
She immediately said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, I don't know ......"
"No, no, it hasn't had a favorite owner for a long time, you can take it with you, after all, this world is not peaceful. ”
Rebecca exclaimed:
"Is this really okay?"
"It doesn't want to be in a cupboard, but remember, it doesn't have to be fed with human blood, and preferably not even alone. After all, there are many easier ways to kill. ”
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Herwin. For some reason, Rebecca could feel the joy coming from the axe.
Jimmy interjected:
"I'm not leaving. ”
"What did you say?" Rebecca looked angrily at the child.
Jimmy thumped and knelt in front of Hewen:
"Uncle Hewen, I want to learn from you how to hunt monsters, I want to kill all these things, these shapeshifters. ”
The witcher looked at Jimmy, and there was no surprise in his eyes:
"My demon-hunting skills are not suitable for passing on to ordinary humans, besides, your mother has already completed her revenge, what do you want to do? Slaughter them, do those shapeshifters who don't harm humans have to atone for your father's death?"
"Son, this is not war, and most non-human beings are not evil, what do you want to do? vent your anger, or hide your fear and powerlessness. ”
The boy looked up at Hervin, and he realized that he didn't dare to make eye contact with the witcher:
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to teach me, I'll find a way myself, and, thank you for saving us. ”
Nelly put aside her usual worries and reserves, and stepped forward and hugged Herwen:
"I'm going to miss you. ”
Herwin took Hola's hand, took the bracelet back on his body, and walked out of the room with a few people, looking into the distance.
on the train station.
Hola and Herwin watched as the three of them stepped onto the carriage and watched as they grew smaller and smaller, eventually disappearing into the horizon with a roar.
The little girl held Herwen's hand tightly:
"Where do we go next?"
She hadn't forgotten what Herwin had said before that she was leaving, in fact, she remembered everything Herwin said.
"I'm going to the general meeting of the White Lions, Firth City. There might be something that belongs to me there, would you like to go with me?"
The girl did not hesitate at all:
"Well, I'll go wherever Hewen goes. ”
The sun has risen again.
Field returned to town, followed by a tall figure.
The tall man wore a hat made of animal skin, a white bearskin coat that was too warm, and a silver wine bottle in his hand, and every now and then he took two sips.
"Little one, if you lie to me, I'll put your head in the ass. ”
The mayor, who also looked to be in his forties, said with a smile on the side:
"Master, I can only guarantee that everything I said is true, I am not an expert like you, and it is impossible to tell the truth from the fake. ”
The two of them walked over to the bear's corpse.
The witcher stretched out his arm wrapped in white bear fur and spread his thick fingers:
"Ganatad. ”
A pillar of blue light was projected from the witcher's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a transparent bear appeared from the spot.
"Took us to find it. ”
Mayor Mare's eyes lit up as he watched from the sidelines:
"Master, what is this witchcraft, is this the soul of a bear, does a person really go to the underworld after death?"
The witcher smiled, in the past, everyone saw this witchcraft as evil and avoided it, and the mayor's enthusiasm was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"It's just something made up of its anger before it died, we usually call it a beast spirit, but the soul naturally really exists, and as for the existence of the underworld that judges the merits, you'd better do more good deeds. ”
The spirit of the giant bear led the two of them through all the places where Ogden had been, and finally came to an ash forest.
The witcher crouched on the ground, sniffed on the spot, and spoke:
"A shapeshifter, who had killed people, and was killed by a woman he had been with for a long time. ”
The mayor was really a little shocked at the moment:
"Do you know so much just by smelling it?"
Master Witcher Mika turned his head and looked at Mayor Mare with the eyes of a fool:
"What smelled, I asked the spirit of life in this vicinity. ”
"Uh......" Mayor smiled awkwardly.
Mayor Field asked:
"That means the town is safe, I'm sorry, Master Witcher, for letting you make this extra trip. ”
Maika laughed:
"I've had quite a few commissions in the past to settle before I get to my destination, saying that pulling your head off was just a joke, and that hunting monsters was our accusation. ”
Mika smiled bloodthirsty
"And who's to say there's only one monster?"
