章 65: Looking for a witch

My brows drew together, not expecting him to look for a witch. I mean, why would anyone look for a witch? Anyone who knew about the existence of the witches knew that they were wicked and vicious. Wouldn't it be better for us to stay away from them? 

Well, I knew that I shouldn't judge those witches because I have never met them before, but the fact that so many people hunted them down tells a lot. I heard about what would happen if someone was suspected of being a witch. People would go as far as burning them alive or even decapitate them without checking the truth of those suspicions. The thought of a witch living amongst them brought so much fear that they would act immediately once the suspicion fell on someone. 

People always talked about the witches being evil but never really talked about what they had done. Were they really as bad as what the rumors say?
