Chapter 25 The Wolf Blood Passed Down Through Generations
The story in the game is actually very simple:
At the beginning, Hannah, the wife, has already been torn apart by the werewolves and serves only as a background character for players to explore her personality, life story, and...
It reflects the helplessness and sorrow of her werewolf husband when he lost control; it also reflects the ugliness and darkness of her sister's jealousy.
Yes, Hannah's husband, the future hunter Niren, is a cursed werewolf. He has tried countless ways to break the curse but to no avail. So every full moon, he locks himself in a cave under a cabin in the woods to stay away from people and Hannah, so as not to hurt them or get his hands stained with blood.
However, on the day of the full moon, the younger sister tricked her older sister into going to the cave. She knew that her brother-in-law was a werewolf, and she was jealous of her sister's happy marriage, to the point that her jealousy turned into malice...
After that full moon, Niren, now a normal person, only knew that he was covered in blood, but until he posted a missing person notice for his wife, until the arrival of the Witcher, he still didn't know whose blood it was...
There are two approaches in the game.
First, she accepted bribes to help her sister-in-law deceive the hunter. However, when the hunter returned some time later, he learned from the villagers that the lie had finally been exposed by the truth, and the hunter, upon learning the truth, killed his sister-in-law and then committed suicide to follow his beloved.
The second option is to continue the investigation regardless of whether bribes are accepted or not. The investigation will proceed regardless of whether money is taken. The witcher will then follow the bloodstains to the cave beneath the cabin in the woods, and on a moonlit night, find the werewolf who imprisoned him there. A battle ensues, the sister-in-law appears, the truth is fully revealed, and the hunter, now a werewolf, will kill the sister-in-law to avenge his wife…
Choosing to kill the werewolf at this point would allow the sister-in-law to survive. However, Roy chose to let her live each time he played the game.
Unexpectedly, after taking his revenge, the werewolf Niren will come out and ask for death, claiming that he is a coward and cannot bring himself to commit suicide, hoping that the witcher will give him a quick death.
Finally, the sword flashed, the wolf's head fell to the ground, and Niren followed his beloved...
"Wild at Heart" is a complete tragedy no matter which choice you make.
But no matter what choice they make, no one would believe that Niren is truly the complete coward he claims to be...
And now,
call……
Roy took a deep breath. The future in the game hadn't happened yet, and the characters in the game were just kids playing in the mud. He shouldn't think too much or use a sword from twenty years in the future to kill today's little girl.
However, some signs have already begun to emerge.
The strange hunter Hack, mentioned by the villagers of Raven's Nest, happens to be the biological father of the future werewolf Niren...
Some answers seem to be on the verge of being revealed…
Snapped!
Geralt patted Roy on the shoulder. He didn't say anything, but just stayed with Roy quietly for a while, comforting him in his own way.
He thought Roy was angry and remorseful. He felt the same sorrow when he brought news of others' deaths in the past.
After Harker's new wife, Lyra, brought the whole chicken into the house and then came out again, Geralt patted her again and said:
"Go and move the rye from the horse; those who survive must continue to live."
Roy nodded, tied the horse's reins to the fence, unloaded two sacks of rye from the horse, and then carried one in each hand.
With the multiple attribute enhancements, his strength has increased significantly, and he can now easily carry one 50-pound (45-jin) rye bag in each hand.
As Roy followed Geralt into the house, he saw Lyra kneel down and give two wooden rings to the two little girls.
That was given to Lyra by Geralt, who felt it would be more appropriate for Lyra to be his aunt.
Hannah, the older sister, was delighted to receive the wooden ring, while Margaret, the younger sister, glanced at her sister's, then at her own, and immediately exclaimed:
"Why is Hannah's ring complete, but mine isn't? Daddy's biased!"
When the younger sister started making a fuss, Hannah, as the older sister, immediately took her ring off her finger and placed it in her younger sister's hand, saying:
"How about we switch? That way we'll both have rings engraved with each other's names."
"No, I don't want it! Change it for me!" Margaret, the younger sister, threw the ring onto the mud and yelled.
"I want my dad back. I miss him. I want him to apologize to me. I want him to engrave 'His beloved little daughter, Margaret' on my ring in front of me."
"Where's Daddy, Aunt Leila? Where did Daddy go? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"Aunt Leila, where's Dad? Why are you crying?"
"Auntie, I won't make a fuss anymore, please don't cry, okay?"
From that point on, Roy didn't look at the doorway again.
He stepped over the threshold and nodded to the woman inside, whose skin was somewhat rough. She was probably the widow of the bald merchant, or simply a modern-day widow.
The widow pointed to a corner of the room, and Roy went over with the rye and stacked the sacks.
Then he heard the widow ask:
"And what about the silver ornament?"
On the widow's table was a wooden box that Geralt had sent, containing mostly bronze ornaments and a silver ornament.
Geralt traded the horse for it from Roy, and it should have all belonged to Geralt. However, Geralt only took a few bronze ornaments and one silver ornament as payment, and put the rest of the bronze and silver ornaments in the wooden box.
Two bags of rye cost 20 orens, and a silver ornament also costs 20 orens, meaning Geralt doesn't make any profit at all... from the copper and silver ornaments he's given.
To put it in a somewhat bandit-like way, Geralt could have given nothing at all, but he not only gave most of the bronze ornaments but also a silver one.
But the widow noticed it; she even saw the rye they had brought. And so she asked.
That's just... hurtful!
"I killed the robbers. This is all I found. The location is two roads east of Crow's Nest. If you really want to..."
"No need to say any more!" Geralt turned and patted Roy on the shoulder, interrupting him, and said softly:
"We've done everything we could; it's time for us to go."
"Yes, shouldn't we be leaving? They pretended to be business friends, but they just pocketed his things. And they even went so far as to say 'east of the crow's nest,' taking advantage of the fact that the orphan and widow wouldn't dare to verify."
The widow started cursing behind her back again.
Roy instinctively wanted to retort, saying that it was all Geralt's personal will, not any responsibility or obligation, and that the merchant had only bought Geralt a beer, yet Geralt had already killed someone for him...
"Let's go. Anger is part of sadness, and we need to learn to understand it. Besides, you can't expect to be praised every time you do what you're supposed to do!"
Geralt forcefully restrained Roy, preventing him from uttering any more curses.
Roy felt a little aggrieved, but seeing the teacher's expression, he held back.
Unexpectedly, the widow chased after him and shouted in the courtyard in front of the village elders and everyone else:
"That white-haired cat-eyed man is a thief. He stole our silver ornaments. We can't let him get away. We must catch him, search his horse, and search him. We're sure to find our silver ornaments on him right away."
Upon hearing this, the village elder's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly apologized to Geralt and Roy.
Then he strode over and scolded her while asking what was going on. After the widow finished speaking, the village elder didn't look at her again, but went straight to Geralt, bowed, and apologized repeatedly.
Perhaps after Geralt leaves, the village elders will also chime in with a few words about Geralt amidst the chatter.
But even as the village elder still hoped Geralt would eliminate the werewolves, he knew that the widow was simply twisting gratitude into hatred.
Even if the lord's own guards helped kill the bandits, they wouldn't return the spoils; in fact, they might even demand payment from the lord.
The witcher in front of him not only didn't ask for payment, but he even gave him a lot.
The hunter's wife, Lyra, who was also the bald merchant's sister, went closer to investigate after hearing the noise. When she saw the jewelry on the table and the wooden box the witcher had brought, she immediately understood.
She shouted at the still-cursing widow:
"That's enough!"
However, the widow remained relentless, even setting fire to Leila:
"You married a good husband, of course you feel that everything is enough."
"I only married a jeweler who's never home, a jeweler who talks about making a lot of money but could only afford to give his sister a copper ornament for her wedding."
"He always says 'having more friends means having more options,' and he's spent a lot of money, but when things really got tough, none of his friends protected him from death."
"Not to mention he died outside."
"It would be better to die in the back forest, so that all his jewelry and other valuables could be left at home."
"Now, it's unclear which of his friends has those silver ornaments in his hands."
"That's enough, I'll talk..."
Immediately, the sounds of a heated argument, barking dogs, and a little girl crying filled the courtyard.
Let's go!
Geralt the Witcher untied the reins from the fence, placed them in Roy's hands, and pushed Roy out of the courtyard.
"Uncle, do you often encounter things like this?" Roy called out to Coffin on the village road.
"Seven or eight out of ten!" Geralt replied, laughing.
"It's not like the kidnapped girl would present me with flowers and praise me after I killed the robbers and rescued her."
"Their usual routine was to scream, then scream again, then yell 'monster!' and finally just run away..."
"Will you continue doing this, sir?" Roy asked again.
"Probably!" Geralt replied.
Roy was silent for a moment, then asked:
"Uncle, will the werewolf curse be passed down through bloodlines?"
This time, he was considering the situation of Huck and his son Niren.
"Yes, if the curse cannot be completely eradicated, the werewolf curse will be passed down through generations in the bloodline!"
"Sometimes the existence of a werewolf father means there will be a werewolf son, or even a werewolf grandfather."
"well……"
Roy sighed; by now, he was about 60-70% certain.
Hunter Hack,
He's a werewolf.
It's as if the story of twenty years later is being reenacted once again today, like a destiny.
