It suddenly raised its head, and its green pupils revealed a sense of sincerity, "But I can't help it. The sea scorpion is my home, and the members are my family. I must not let those robbers hurt my family, so I The only way to resolve the crisis is first.”

It licked its dagger-like paw with its scorching tongue, and said, "Do you two think there is something wrong with my approach?"

"No problem..." the demon hunter said lightly, "It's just a group of robbers blocking the road. I think they have done bad things on weekdays. How can you talk about being innocent? Even if you don't take action, we will give them a ride."

"Jie Jie..." The werewolf smiled when he heard the words, "Your Excellency is indeed an enlightened person. You demon hunters have wandered around the world and killed many of the same kind that 'do all kinds of evil'."

Lei Suo didn't answer, or acquiesced.He lived to be 80 years old, and it is impossible that he did not have human life on his hands, and it was not just the thugs who deserved it.

To him, killing a few robbers was really just a matter of raising his hand.

Seeing the expressions of the two, the werewolf felt confident, "Although I, Aaron, have become a monster, as you two have seen, I have not lost my mind. My claws have never been stained with the blood of any innocent person."

Its voice trembled slightly and turned to the two of them, "Will you attack me later?"

Roy thought for a moment, staring at the green pupils of the other party with star-like eyes, and said sincerely, "We are not saviors, and you are not villains who kill innocent people indiscriminately. If you don't take the initiative to lure us out today, why would we bother you?" .Everyone live together peacefully and separate in Elland City, it's as simple as that."

"Then, are you two willing to keep a secret for me?"

The werewolf closed his paws, and cupped his hands towards them in a funny way, "Sea scorpions are my family, but they are also ordinary people, and most of them cannot accept my weird state. So please don't complain to them. Tell the truth."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Roy put down his weapon and his face softened a little. The "man" in front of him who pleaded with the witcher carefully for his friends really made him hate it, "But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. If you keep a secret, sooner or later you will show your feet."

"How long can it be delayed... Besides, after so many years of working together, some of them have already noticed my strangeness, but they haven't exposed it." The werewolf suddenly looked a little disappointed, and the two birds pecked at its neck comfortingly. mouth.

"That's why you trust us?" Lei Suo asked suddenly.

The werewolf wrinkled his furry facial muscles, and showed an ugly wry smile, "After becoming this horrible appearance, I specifically searched for demon hunters and warlocks, but unfortunately they either wanted to kill me or imprison me." Get up as a test subject. You won't reach out to me at all. The two guys are not grumpy, jealous and indiscriminate, and they are willing to listen to me. Why don't I believe you once?"

This is a dead horse who has nowhere to go and is a living horse doctor.

"Then how on earth did you become so inhuman and ghost-like, and Ade and Ali, they were originally human, right?"

The werewolf paused, his tangled eyes swept across Lei Suo and Roy's faces, he gritted his teeth resolutely,

"The Temple of Ominous Omen..." A look of pain flashed across its face, and it paced around restlessly. "This is the curse cast on my family by the priestess of the Temple of Ominous Omen."

"I became a werewolf, my sons and daughters turned into birds, and most pitifully, my wife became a...a frog."

"Um... well..." Roy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, frog prince, frog wife?His mind suddenly felt a little confused.

But he had browsed relevant information about the Temple of Ominous Omen.This is a cult among the many beliefs in the mainland. It uses bloody sacrifices to enshrine the cruel gods—the lion-faced spiders in the giant webs. Their priestesses usually have powerful curse abilities.

But now this sect is on the verge of extinction under the suppression of the entire continent.

"It turned out that you were cursed by the Temple of Ominous Omen, so what Aveline once said, is it true that you are looking for your other half and true love all over the world?"

"I'm not a cultured person, and I can't find anyone else who can help..." said the werewolf, "but I got inspiration from fairy tales - true love can lift the curse... I thought, if I find a true love Me, my wife who loves A Li and A De, our family should be able to reunite as human beings."

Roy was surprised. It turned out that what Aveline said a few days ago was true—Boss Aaron did travel around the world to find true love.

"Then your former wife?"

"As early as three years ago, my poor Xina passed away due to insufficiency." The tall and ferocious werewolf opened his long kiss slightly, his eyes lost focus, as if he had fallen into endless sadness.

The kestrels and owls also stretched their necks and wailed "yak, yak" and "coo, coo".

Seeing that Roy wanted to laugh and feel sad, he couldn't help pleading to the witcher, "Help him..."

A gleam flashed in the latter's eyes, and he said to the werewolf, "Actually, demon hunters are not only good at slaying demons, but also have some experience in lifting curses. If you are willing to tell us the reason, maybe it can help you."

"Really? Master Lei Suo...can you help us lift the curse?"

"Try it, at least I can give you a suggestion."

Chapter 11 Please close your eyes when it gets dark (6)

The werewolf's pupils stared at the looming moon in the sky through the gap in the forest, and his low and hoarse voice met the pattering rain, "My name is Aaron, I was born in a farmer's family in the Rivendell Valley, and I stayed with you Most of them are farmers' children, but Hina is an exception."

"She is the daughter of the clerk in the town. Not only can she read and write, but she also has a gentle and kind personality. She also has purple hair as beautiful as an iris flower. She smiles cuter than a pure deer."

"If there is no accident, a beauty with such outstanding background and appearance will never have an intersection with a muddy leg like me. She will marry the son of the mayor, or go further, marry a small nobleman, and live a good life. Mrs.

"But maybe it was fate. When she was 17 years old, she went out for an outing and fell into the Navi River, and I jumped into the raging river desperately to save her... When we looked at each other for the first time, we fell into love. Love River, tryst soon."

The werewolf's big and deep green eyes were bent, settled in a peaceful and happy fantasy, every sharp tooth in that bloody mouth seemed to have turned into a white diamond, full of sweet and romantic taste .The two birds standing on his left and right shoulders also felt this happiness, swinging their chubby bodies from side to side like pendulums.

"It's unimaginable that a humble mud-legged person and the town clerk's daughter walked together, but this is the arrangement of fate! One year after the tryst, Xi Na became pregnant with the crystallization of our love—A Li and A De. "

"Wait!" Roy suddenly interrupted it, and asked with the slightly surprised and blamed eyes of the werewolf, "You mean that Hina is... um... I'm curious how old was your Excellency at that time?"

"I was already 28 at the time, and I was still a bachelor..." The werewolf suddenly lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth, grinning to the ear, pulled back, unexpectedly shy and shy.

"...28... Mud Legs... Bai Fumei... how can they have a common language?"

Roy's thoughts changed, his face changed strangely, his lips parted and he hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed the words back.

"Well, the guy favored by the goddess of luck, I kind of believe in the fate you said!"

"That's right, I was very lucky to get Hina's favor. After she became pregnant with my child, she became more and more pregnant. In order to avoid the blame of my family and the eyes of the people in the town, I eloped with her. One dark night Sneaked out of River Valley and fled into the vast forest."

Speaking of this, the werewolf suddenly clenched its claws and lowered its head, "I hate that I am an incompetent person. I didn't do enough preparations before elopement. We lost our way in the forest. Food and drinking water will soon run out..."

"And you met that person?" Roy interjected.

The werewolf nodded heavily, "Rachel, the priestess in the forest, saved our family, took us to the broken temple, and took good care of my wife until she gave birth."

"I want to make sure..." The demon hunter frowned and his expression became serious. "Before taking care of you, she didn't ask for anything special, such as payment?"

"No!" The werewolf replied stubbornly, but the two clearly felt its voice weaken.

"It wasn't until after my wife gave birth that Rachel held and teased baby Allie for a while before making such cruel demands on us."

The werewolf's voice became hoarse, his expression ferocious, and he wanted to beat his chest and feet, "That guy actually asked us to leave Ali to her as a reward for saving his life! The newborn child will be snatched before he can drink a sip of milk/water from his mother." Go! How cruel is this?"

"Can you imagine it?!" The werewolf snarled at the two of them frantically, Roy took a step back unconsciously, and raised the hand crossbow at it.

"Leave your newborn child in that dark, damp, smelly broken house, inherit the old witch's mantle as a lonely, painful, ridiculous magic stick, and serve that disgusting big spider for a lifetime! Even if she Ask me to be his servant for life. But she wants my child—"

"As a father, I rejected her unreasonable request!" The werewolf's pupils flashed a violent red light, and his voice became as cold as a knife.

The werewolf stared blankly at the void, as if roaring at something that didn't exist, "We rested in the temple for a while, and waited until Hina's health improved. It's a pity that the vicious man who wanted to take the children away secretly The bitch found it! Her hands were shaking, I thought of the witchcraft of the old witch in the rumors, she must be casting a spell on us, I was very scared... I panicked and grabbed the temple priest's knife and stabbed it hard her stomach."

The muscles all over its body were tense, and the continuous rain couldn't cover up his panting and violently beating heart.

After a long time, as if falling from a climax to a valley, the werewolf fell silent all of a sudden.

"We hid outside the temple and waited for Rachel to bleed to death, and then saw the strange symbols painted in blood on that place."

"The next day, all the nightmares began!"

The werewolf heaved a long sigh,

"The curse is not without its benefits. At least after becoming a werewolf, I became invulnerable to all diseases and tireless. I also had a spiritual connection with the children and Hina, and could communicate unimpeded. It was easier to hunt all kinds of monsters." prey, taking care of them. I also started performing acrobatics... taking them around the world."

"But Xina really can't bear the appearance of frogs. What she hated the most during her lifetime was those slippery and disgusting little animals! Her heart has been suffering a lot, and she left us depressed after two years."

……

"I was the only one in the acrobatic troupe at the time, so I thought it might be disbanded. But when I saw my two children suffering in the bird's body, I could only cheer up and continue to run around the world, looking for all kinds of A way to lift the curse."

"Until I found out the truth of those fairy tales, such as the Frog Prince... and consulted a lot of professionals. As you two know, I told the members that finding true love is not just talking nonsense, but to lift the curse, maybe I It’s just a kiss of true love from a beautiful woman. So far I’ve been working on this for several years, but unfortunately I can’t pass the test in my heart, and I can’t pay attention to other women, so no one is willing to give me true love. Wake up, the children have been cursed for five full years."

"Then do you still love your wife?"

the witcher asked,

"Love! I wish I could go with her. But—" the werewolf looked around his two "children" with affection, "I can't let them go, and I can't bear to let them face the world alone."

"You should love her. Hina not only gave birth to you, but also shared the curse for you. Rachel's curse is only for you. It's a pity that you and your family are closely linked by blood and destiny. They don't know Unknowingly shared your curse. Therefore, you can retain the sanity of a human being in the form of a werewolf."

"One more thing..." The demon hunter raised his eyebrows, "You lied to us just now. Although the God of Omen is an evil god, her priests still abide by the ancient treaty."

"A priestess wants a child as the successor of the temple. One of the prerequisites is that the child in your womb has a destiny entanglement with her. Priests usually use the law of accident to achieve this."

"And according to your situation at the time, the law of accident is only valid if the child is raised before birth."

The law of accident is a conventional law, as old as the history of mankind.The person who rescues others can, according to the law of accident, ask for a reward from the rescued person, asking for the first thing the rescued person sees when he returns home, or an item that the rescued person does not know but already has. s things.

Many demon hunters also rely on the law of accident to find their apprentices.

"So I guess Rachel's condition at the time was: If Hina's child has a girl, she will stay in the Temple of Omen; if it is a boy, you will take it away. This kind of uncertainty can conclude the law of accident."

The witcher looked at the werewolf's expression, took a step closer to it, and said firmly, "You and your wife agreed to this condition before the child was born. It's definitely not what you said. Rachel was in the delivery room after Ali was born. Temporary threats! This kind of persecution is meaningless, cannot produce the fetters of fate, and does not have magic power."

"You were the first to tear up the contract, right!" A stern look flashed in the demon hunter's eyes, and he asked further, "How dare you say that your hands have never been stained with the blood of innocent people?"

Roy glanced at Lei Suo in surprise, and then turned his gaze. The werewolf did not refute the question, but fell silent.

When the two of them were about to lose patience, it took a step forward, trembling with its hunched body, its green pupils were full of pleading,

"You are right. I made a mistake and violated the contract. I am sorry for the priestess. So the curse is my punishment. But I am the only one who made a mistake!" The werewolf hugged his head in pain.

"This body is full of vitality, and can live for a long time. Ade can live for decades as a kestrel, but Ali has spent five years as an owl, and now she only has one or two years of life left... How, the children are innocent, Master Lei Suo, please save them!"

The witcher stared straight at the werewolf with his hands folded and his sharp gaze, and the latter looked at him without flinching.

"Oh...you are right, you are the only one who is wrong. Children should not be implicated." The witcher sighed, his tone loose, "I have to make sure first, do you really love them more than yourself Life? Be sure to answer honestly, this is very important.”

"They are my only remaining relatives and the only motivation for me to live."

"Understood." Lei Suo nodded and said word by word, "I can't save them, but you can."

"What do you mean?"

"True love can lift the curse. This is not pure fiction. Many poignant stories and records in history are proof. The direction of your pursuit is not wrong, but it is a pity that you are far away. Obviously Ali can't wait for you to find true love. But please remember, you It is the person who loves them the most in the world, and family affection is also the most precious kind of 'love', why bother to find another person?"

"What do you mean?" The werewolf looked puzzled, "I love them, regard them as life, and are always inseparable, but they are still tortured by the curse."

"In every fairy tale, there is always a little bit of reality, love and blood, which contain amazing power."

Roy interjected next to him. He remembered the story belonging to the witcher Geralt, a story that was very similar to the encounter with werewolves, and suddenly he had the answer in his heart, "There is no shortage of blood-related relatives between you and the two children." Love, one step away from solving the curse - blood."

"Blood mixed with true love is a panacea that will end all misfortunes!"

"Be more specific! What should I do?" the werewolf asked eagerly.

The boy looked at Ali and Ade inexplicably, and made an exaggerated mouth shape, but he didn't make a sound.

"The two of them are only five-year-old children, so stay away for now." The witcher said, secretly glanced at the young man, really puzzled why he knew the key steps to get rid of the curse.

The werewolf felt uneasy, but he still drove Ali and Ade to the top of the treetop not far away as required.

"In fact, with their minds, they can't understand too complicated conversations..."

The werewolf wanted to get rid of the nervousness, its arms and claws trembled slightly and straightened the hair on its body, it saw the witcher opened his mouth and then his mind went blank.

"You are the carrier of the curse. If you are not around, most of the curse will dissipate. And the blood that carries your last vitality, your blood before death is enough to eliminate the other half of the curse."

"This is the solution. Ali and Ade will escape the curse and regain their lives." The witcher's voice was slow and heavy, "Use your blood and life to prove your love for them, are you willing?"

The werewolf hung his head, thought for a long time, and spoke unexpectedly, with a decisive tone.

"Masters, if you are telling the truth, then I will sincerely pray for you, otherwise, I will imitate the priests of the Temple of Omen and issue vicious curses with my dying life..."

"I, Lei Suo, I swear in the name of the demon hunter of the Viper School, that what I said to you before was not false... Otherwise, I will never see the revival of the school in my life." The demon hunter's face was extremely solemn, He raised the pendant on his chest.

"I, Roy, swear in the name of the Viper School of Demon Hunters..." The boy followed closely.

The werewolf stared deeply at the two people's cheeks, and after a long time, he let out a long breath, "I have one last unfeeling request... two... can you give me a ride?"

"I can't do it myself. I can't die even if I take out my heart. My head must be cut off. This kind of work should not be entrusted to acquaintances. It is too cruel for them."

"Captain Aaron, have you really thought it through?" The young man stared at the ferocious wolf face, his voice trembling, "Are you willing to give up your life?"

"Yes..." He raised his head, and there was a hint of relief on the face of a wolf that should have been ferocious. He tilted his head, grinned a long wolf kiss, and smiled very 'warmly', "I said, I love them more Live my life, and I can't wait to be with Sheena..."

"Don't you say goodbye to the brothers and sisters of the sea scorpion first? They have been with you for several years, and they have the right to know the truth," the demon hunter reminded, "Are you planning to leave without saying goodbye?"

"No need, other people don't know, at least Evelyn guessed that there is a problem with my identity. But I have to ask you two to send me a few words, the position of regiment leader is handed over to... and about my two Poor child, please...my corpse is according to the customs of my hometown..."

"I have been suffering from inner torment. Every time I see the two children trapped in the bird's body, and think of the scene of the priestess' tragic death and the scene of his wife's death, my breath hurts... It's time, too. Let the children be freed from the curse, and use my life to confess and apologize to the priest, so that I can be reunited with my Hina."

……

In the woods, the rain finally stopped.

The dark clouds dissipated, and the moon seemed to have been washed, and it was unprecedentedly bright and bright.

The boy held up Gowahir and stared not far away——

A ferocious figure knelt down on one knee, whispering to the two cute and cute little guys, with big lantern-like eyes full of reluctance and nostalgia, "A Li, A De, do you still remember the time when Dad played with you?" Is it a game?"

"Please close your eyes when it gets dark! Turn around and count silently in your heart, counting down from ten to one, and then come to me, whoever finds me first... Then Dad will tell someone a story tonight!"

"Remember... Ade, no peeking..."
