5. Just an expert

"How's it going?" asked the Sheriff. "Can you tell what kind of animal did it?"

"There are traces of being eaten on his body, but they are very slight. You can't tell what kind of animal it is from the bite marks, and the cut on the skull is smooth. Even a sophisticated sword blade cannot easily cause such damage. His brain does not look like it was eaten.

Take it out, it’s more like it’s been eaten clean here.”

Hevin stood up from the body and shook his head slightly.

"I have never seen such a beast. If it were a human, it would be impossible to explain the tooth marks on its body."

"Hevin, you really don't want to help. They said the price can be negotiated later," the mayor suddenly asked.

"Didn't you find anyone else?"

The mayor smiled bitterly:

"Ha, we went to look for him then. But people look down on such a trivial matter as finding a fugitive.

"Hewen, I know that although you are very low-key, your background 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 is unbelievable?

s things."

"what?"

The mayor asked calmly:

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

Hewen frowned slightly:

"Monster? What exactly do you mean?"

The mayor's eyes flashed with a strange light:

"I don't know, werewolves? Ghouls? Something like that. My father told me that the world used to be full of monsters. I always regarded this as a story until I saw some with my own eyes.

thing.

"I saw taxidermied monsters and magical weapons in the demon hunter's residence..."

Hewen interrupted:

"Witcher?"

The mayor smiled apologetically:

"Oh, I forgot that you don't know. This is a secret passed down from my family. On the mountain behind our town, there lives a demon hunter from the old era. Ha? People in the town can never imagine that right here.

A living legend lives so close."

The mayor continued to explain:

"There used to be all kinds of monsters in this world that threatened human life. Demon hunters were the heroes who destroyed the monsters."

Heven curled his lips, the demon hunters were never heroes, they were just a group of experts in dealing with monsters.

"But in modern times, Hewen, you haven't seen any so-called monsters, because fifty years ago, monsters were almost extinct."

Hewen pretended to listen carefully and said nothing 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 had an envious look on his face:

"And demon hunters have many magical abilities. For example, the demon hunter who lives in seclusion here came here fifty years ago, and when I saw him, he was still the same as my family recorded.

Just as young."

In fact, there are demon hunters who do not rely on magic and rely on pure skills and strength to hunt monsters. However, they are considered a rare breed. The vast majority of demon hunters do have various abilities as the mayor said.

Most of them have magical abilities that have been developed over tens of thousands of years to deal with monsters.

And unlike wizards, mages and warlocks, the unique heritage of demon hunters often cannot learn from each other. They are extremely independent and exclusive.

However, the knowledge about monsters is just the opposite. Demon hunters like to exchange knowledge in this area, which also allows all demon hunters to quickly master the weaknesses and response methods of a large number of monsters.

The mayor continued:

"In short, the master witcher kicked me off casually, and back to our topic, since there are monsters in this world, then this scene is most likely caused by monsters, so it is not something we can handle."

"So you are planning to..." Hewen guessed what the mayor was thinking.

The mayor showed a proud smile:

"That's right, since the noble Master Demon Hunter is unwilling to get involved in such trivial matters as chasing criminals, then if it is a monster, he will definitely take action himself."

"Mayor!" A law enforcement officer ran over, "We can't stop these two guys, they have to come over."

"We have something to tell you." The two detectives Hewen met walked towards this side with solemn expressions.

The tall and thin man looked at Hewen and said:

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

Hewen understood his hint:

"It just so happens that I have to go home to take care of my niece. She might be scared if I don't let her."

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

"He has a niece? Has he always been in town?"

The mayor shook his head:

"Just came to town."

The tall and thin man continued to ask:

"How long have you been here?"

"Two weeks."

The tall and thin man nodded assuredly:

"This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Let your people set up a cordon and don't let anyone in or out, including themselves."

The mayor looked a little ugly:

"There is no way this is your fugitive. This is not a wound that humans can inflict."

The tall and thin detective looked the mayor up and down with suspicious eyes:

"You don't need to worry about this, what? You don't want to cooperate with us? Or do you want to be taken to court so that everyone knows what you have done?"

The mayor lowered his head:

"No, of course not."

From the first day of working with them, the mayor knew that this would happen, and he had been preparing for this day.

The tall and thin detective continued to remind:

"And don't tell that witcher about this."

The mayor suddenly raised his head and suddenly realized:

"You are not hunting a fugitive at all."

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

"No, we are indeed hunting fugitives, our fugitives."

The tall, thin detective continued:

"Do you really care about this? As long as you cooperate with us, you will make plenty of money. Isn't that enough?"

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

Detective Jianshuo promised:

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

And in town.

Hevin, who returned here, was selecting Ha La's daily necessities, but a voice that made him irritated came from the side.

"Isn't this our legendary hunter Mr. Hevin? Why, did you buy these things to abduct little girls?"

Jimmy's sister Nellie is standing behind him.

Hewen turned around and looked at her:

"Nelly, I'm not a bad person."

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