The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 14 What I Saw in the Forest

After the regular spiritual education every night, Colin still doesn't want to sleep. Recently, he has been thinking about going to the forest in the east. The moonlight tonight is good. The bright moonlight shines on the earth, giving it a layer of silvery white. gauze.

Colin once again came up with the idea of ​​​​going to see the forest. He took his iron gun, coiled a rope and tied it around his waist. After some preparation, he was ready to go out.

"It's so late, where are you going, Colin, with a weapon?" asked a companion at the residence.

"Nothing, just go out for a walk."

"It's not a peaceful night, so be careful."

"Okay, you guys go to rest early. I'll be right back."

"Joseph, stand still for me. What do you look like? You are idle all day long. I have several children at the same age as you. Even the king knows that I have a son like you. I have embarrassed you. " Jason cursed angrily.

"Father, I didn't do anything. I just went out to have some fun. Aren't I still reading in the library?" Joseph defended.

"Were you reading a book? You thought I didn't know. Didn't you go to Fina Garden? If you didn't go, how could the valet be there?"

"When you are tired from reading, you have to have some fun. Father, don't be angry. I didn't cause any trouble for you."

Jason looked at Joseph's useless look. If he wasn't just such a son, he really wouldn't want to care about him.

"In the near future, please stay at home and I'll invite some teachers to come over and give you lessons."

"Let me tell you in advance, I will ask your Uncle Terry to help you introduce the noble daughter of the royal capital. Whether you are willing or not, you have to give birth to several descendants for the family." After saying that, Jason went out.

"My God, my little Mansha and my little Lucy, are they about to enter the grave of love? Uncle Terry, you will help me, right?" Joseph said with a sad face.

"Joseph, you are indeed not young anymore. For so many years, your father has been busy with the affairs of the principality and has given you very little discipline. Due to this delay, you are still not married yet. Look at Lilibet, she already has two children. "Terry said.

"My sister is too honest and was deceived by that guy Richard August. I asked him why he always deliberately approached me and called me brothers. In the past few years when I went to study in the Glory Empire, he became a My brother-in-law is so cunning,” complained Joseph.

"What a lie. Richard August is indeed older than your sister, but he still loves Lilibet very much. Your father and I are also very satisfied with this marriage. Besides, Richard has made many meritorious services. Your performance has always been good, and it is worth entrusting you. You should tell me, I will find you painted portraits of the noble ladies of the royal capital, and you can choose from them. If they are suitable, I will arrange for you to get married. I really can’t delay it any longer, my family. The next generation must be on the agenda.”

"I'm not a pig. You and your father are still in your prime and can have children. I'm not the only male in the Cavendi family."

"What nonsense are you talking about, huh, no wonder your father is angry, that's it." Ignoring Joseph's insistence, Terry also left angrily.

In the lush woods, the light was not as bright as outside, but it seemed very soft. Colin walked comfortably in the forest, as if he regarded entering the forest as a play, but looking at the spear in his hand, it was clear that Colin Not as unconcerned as he showed.

The forest at night seemed a little quiet, and some unclear roars of wild beasts came from far away. Colin held the gun in his hand tighter. Suddenly, he heard a slight noise next to him, and Colin immediately tensed up. His body was free, like a javelin, ready to be launched at any time. He turned around and breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like a small animal like a mouse.

"Huh..." I was shocked. Rats can scare me at any time. Colin shook his head and continued walking into the forest, but this time he was more cautious and his pace slowed down a lot.

From time to time, small animals such as bats, owls, mice, and scorpions appeared in sight, and Colin walked to a small lake without any danger.

Looking at the lake under the moonlight, the color of the lake and the moonlight reflected each other, it was very peaceful. In this silent deep forest, watching the small fish swimming under the lake from time to time, Colin felt the tranquility at this time and heard the sounds in the forest. The sounds made by small animals bring to mind a vivid picture of nature, and a feeling of relaxation and joy arises spontaneously.

"Hey, what is that?" Colin saw some unknown flowers blooming in the lake. Under the moonlight, the stars were dotted, and they were very beautiful.

He had the intention to pick one and give it to Nora, but after looking at the position of the flower and the depth of the lake, Colin was a little hesitant and did not jump into the lake after all.

"Chachacha..." Well, Colin heard a voice coming from behind him and turned around quickly.

He saw a shiny black cat walking towards him with elegant steps. Colin felt his palms were a little sweaty, and he couldn't help but hold the iron gun tighter.

The bobcat just glanced at Colin and then walked to the lake. Three meters away from Colin, he lowered his head and drank water.

Colin was a little nervous and didn't know whether he should take out his gun. Looking at the cat's agile posture, he was afraid that it might not be able to stab him. He hesitated again and again and slowly retreated out of the forest.

After retreating a dozen steps or so, seeing that the feline was not chasing him, Colin walked closely and ran towards the outside of the forest.

After returning to his residence, Colin couldn't calm down for a long time. He felt a little ashamed. He also felt that more than a month of training had not had much effect. The target was immobile and had no emotions. No matter how much he practiced, it was not as good as a real fight. This time it was a not-so-big cat. If he encountered a bigger animal next time, could he retreat? Or kill it?

"Soon, I will learn the Knight's Breathing Method soon. I won't be so weak forever." Colin cheered himself up.

...

"Nora, what does this word mean? And this." Seizing the opportunity when Nora came to see him, Colin studied seriously.

"Brother, this is % # , which means # *. I don't know this either. I'll ask the lady when I'm done."

"Thank you, Nora. I've learned a lot of new words."

"Brother, you're very smart. Bernie doesn't know as many words as you do. She doesn't seem to be very interested in learning words. She didn't care much after learning for a few days. But she seems to be very interested in Master George. She dresses up whenever she has the chance. Several times when the lady came to see the master, she rushed to go even though it was originally for me to go."

"Don't worry about her, Nora. You have to listen to the lady. Remember, on this island, besides me, you can only rely on the lady. We can definitely change our fate and become free people." Thinking of the treasured knight's breathing method, Colin said confidently.

"I know, brother, I'm very obedient, and the young lady is very good to us."

He touched Nora's head, "Go back early, the young lady may have something to ask you, it's not good to be out for a long time, don't worry about Bernie's affairs, just serve the young lady well."

"Brother, I can help you when I know more words, I'm going back first, bye." Nora jumped away.
