A person in American horror, wearing two versions of The Witcher

However, the final situation wasn't much worse.

Woof, woof!

Coffin leaped out from under the horse's belly, barking and chasing the cat away. At Roy's prompting, it reluctantly stepped to Geralt's side and rubbed against him...

Geralt bent down and stroked the dog's head, too lazy to pay any attention to Roy.

"It's white hair, it's the Witcher, the Witcher has arrived! Quickly, go and fetch the village elder."

Just then, a fisherman who was tidying up his fishing nets at the entrance of Jiaomu Village shouted. Geralt went over when he heard the noise, and Roy followed. Finally, Geralt had time to focus his attention on the panel.

When he first obtained the Witcher's Wolf Badge, a lot of messages popped up on his screen:

[Has obtained the Witcher Wolffaction Badge, gaining +1 Witcher Bond] (Total 3, 1 more to come)

[Geralt the Witcher Individual Bond +5] The Wolf Pact has been achieved. (Total 15)

[Gain +1 to the Witcher Bond] (Total 4, 2 more to come)

[Geralt the Witcher Individual Bond +5] Has obtained the White Wolf's praise for his cannibalism. (Total 20)

[Gain +1 to the Witcher Bond] (Total 5, 3 more to come)

[Host has been detected to have trespassed on the Witcher's path. This is a supplementary note.]

Please complete the Witcher synergy anchoring to 10 points.

Please have your own Witcher badge.

[Achieving both is sufficient...]

[By the wolf's bite, become a demon hunter!]

"Wolf emblem" and "bite"?

The probability of failure wasn't mentioned, nor was the Grass Trial mentioned?

So, is it the kind of risk-free transformation where, once the conditions are met, I can use my unparalleled wisdom and invincible talent to summon the panel to add points?

That sounds really good!

Roy pondered, then thought:

Since the warlock approach isn't working... no, let's think about it another way. If killing bandits grants you the bandit's full attribute buff, then killing warlocks would also grant you the warlock's full attribute buff, right? If that's the case...

I'm only focusing on the Witcher path for now; as for the others, I'll talk about them later when I've allocated more skill points!

Therefore, it's better not to know the Clear Spring Technique!

Roy let go of his guilt and began to feel happy again.

While the bond system is relatively easy to farm, the Witcher Wolf Badge is much harder to obtain. Besides being silver, the Wolf Badge also requires drawing a magic circle, and I don't recall there being many warlocks near Velen, making it quite difficult to craft.

Unless Geralt gives him the wolf crest... or does Velen have another abandoned wolf that has suffered misfortune?

Let's eat first!

……

The light that guards Rad's nest with a crossbow—

Rad has already sent word to Jiaomu Village that the Witcher is coming.

Whether it was due to the excessive influence of the wolf king or the individual reprimands from the village elders, the villagers of Jiaomu Village were all extremely polite.

They even prepared a luncheon in advance to entertain Geralt and Roy.

"In the past, the wolf problem here was not serious. With a big dog like this or with someone else, even little girls could pick mushrooms and pine cones in the forest. When I was a child, I often picked a basket of poisonous mushrooms and said that my brother picked them, so that he would take the scolding from my parents for me."

The young woman carrying the stewed rabbit with turnips put down the earthenware pot and said with a smile.

She wasn't particularly striking in appearance, but her smile was captivating; she was the wife of the hunter Hack.

"The wolf pack started getting out of control after May this year, but nothing serious happened then. But after June, people started dying. So far, four people from this area have been killed, and we don't know how many outsiders have been killed," Hunter Hack added from the side.

The meat at this lunch was all brought by Huck, and the meat dishes were all prepared by his new wife. In addition, Huck knew the situation in the forest, so he was undoubtedly the host of this lunch.

"Yes, now only local merchants like my brother do business around here. I heard that several merchants disappeared before, which made foreign merchants stop coming here."

The woman brought over another plate of Polish dumplings, and as she spoke, she called out to the boy behind the door:

"Niren, come and wash your face clean, then sit properly at the table."

"If I wash it clean, can I bring the chicken leg to Hannah?" the boy immediately asked, leaning closer.

Geralt paused in his movements, and Roy's pupils contracted.

Seeing this, the village elder assumed the two were displeased and even shouted at them:

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? This whole chicken is naturally..."

"Wait a minute!" Geralt interrupted the village elder.

"We also know Hannah's father; he's the businessman who invited us. If you don't mind, I wouldn't object to bringing the whole chicken over."

"No problem, of course not." The village elder waved his hand hastily, adding, "Little rascal, why don't you come and thank the Demon Hunter Master?"

The boy, Niren, wasn't stupid either; he immediately ran over and said, "Thank you, Master Witcher."

The woman behind her smiled and said:

"I didn't expect you guys to know my brother. How's he doing lately? Is the herbal medicine Hack found for his baldness still working? Or has he started wearing a hat like I told him to?"

Geralt pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's eat something first, then we'll go to Hannah's house later."

Upon hearing this, everyone except the little boy, who was still confused, immediately turned pale. They all realized what the Witcher meant.

The luncheon then continued in this eerie atmosphere…

The Polish dumplings were filled with mashed potatoes and mushrooms, which Roy found very unpalatable; the woman sipped her soup half-heartedly, her mind not on the food at all; the hunter Hack and the village elder both had furrowed brows, having eaten their fill, but neither of them was in the mood to pour any mead.

Only Geralt and the bewildered little boy ate and drank steadily, seemingly unaffected.

This undoubtedly reinforced the stereotype held by the people at the table that the Witcher was a freak, a creature devoid of emotion.

Seeing this, Roy slammed his hand on the table, stood up, picked up the stew pot, scooped out chunks of meat and turnips, placed them on the woman's plate, then gave some to the hunter village elder, shouting:

"Eat! Only when you're full will you have the strength to take revenge. Only when you're full can you kill the Wolf King. Eat, all of you!"

The woman opposite him pursed her lips and hesitated for a few seconds before taking a spoon and stuffing a turnip into her mouth, chewing it fiercely, tears streaming down her face.

Hunter Hack put his hand on the woman's shoulder, sighed silently, and began to gnaw on the rabbit meat.

"Yes, eat, try our best dumplings."

The village elder immediately stood up, kindly placed the Polish dumplings onto Roy's plate, and poured mead for both Roy and the Witcher.

The atmosphere at the meal eased up a bit.

Only Roy was left looking at the Polish dumplings, wondering if his taste buds and stomach could handle them.

Also, is this village elder targeting him?

……

After the meal, the woman carried the untouched whole chicken, while Roy led Geralt's horse, which was carrying two sacks of rye, and the group arrived at a fairly well-lit village house.

In front of the house, two little girls were squatting by the door playing with mud and cotton dolls.

"Hanna!" the little boy Niren called out eagerly.

"Margaret," he called reluctantly to the smaller one.

It was a very ordinary greeting.

However, this ordinary scene caused Roy's pupils to dilate and a chill to run down his spine.

Because of the names of these three children, if we combine them with their parents' professions, and then with the name Jiaomu Village, if... if another twenty years pass...

That would definitely be—the hunter Niren, his wife Hanna, and his sister-in-law Margaret.

It's a scene he played in The Witcher 3.

It was a side quest called "My Heart Is Wild," but it was also...

A complete tragedy!

It's a tragedy where no matter what you choose, there's no good outcome!
