The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

After the regular spiritual education every night, Colin still didn't want to sleep. Recently, he had been thinking about going to the forest in the east to take a look. The moonlight tonight was good. The bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, giving the earth a layer of silver-white gauze.

Colin once again had the idea of ​​going to the forest to have a look. He took his iron gun, tied the rope around his waist, and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going, Colin, at this late hour, and with a weapon?" asked a companion in the quarters.

"Nothing, just going out for a walk."

"It's not peaceful at night, be careful."

"Okay, you guys go to bed early, I'll be back soon."

……

"Joseph, stand still. What do you look like? You've been idling around all day. People your age already have several children. The king knows that I have a son like you. You've made me lose face." Johnson cursed.

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

"Were you reading a book? You think I don't know? Didn't you go to Fina Garden? If not, why would the manservant be there?"

"I'm tired of reading, so I have to have some fun. Father, don't be angry. I didn't cause any trouble for you."

Johnson looked at Joseph's useless appearance. If he was not his only son, he really wouldn't want to take care of him.

"For the time being, you stay at home and I will invite some teachers to come and give you lessons."

"I'm telling you in advance. I'll ask your Uncle Terry to introduce you to noble ladies in the royal capital. Whether you like it or not, you have to give birth to some offspring for the family." After saying that, Johnson went out.

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

"Joseph, you are indeed not a child anymore. For so many years, your father has been busy with the affairs of the principality and has rarely disciplined you. Because of this delay, you have not yet married. Look at Lilibet, she already has two children." Terry said.

"My sister is too honest and was deceived by that guy Richard August. I was wondering why that guy always approached me deliberately and treated me as a brother. I have been studying in the Huiyao Empire for several years, and he has become my brother-in-law. He is too cunning." Joseph complained.

"What do you mean by lie? Richard August is older than your sister, but he still loves Lilibet very much. Your father and I are also very satisfied with this marriage. Moreover, Richard has made many contributions and has always performed well. He is worthy of trust. You should just say it. I will find you painted portraits of noble ladies in the capital, and you can choose one. If it is suitable, I will arrange your marriage. We can't delay it any longer. The next generation of the family must be put on the agenda."

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

"What nonsense! No wonder your father is angry. It's settled." Ignoring Joseph's nonsense, Terry left angrily.

……

In the lush woods, the light was not as bright as outside, but it was very soft. Colin walked comfortably in the woods, as if he regarded this trip into the forest as a trip. But looking at the spear clenched in his hand, one could tell that Colin was not as indifferent as he appeared.

The forest at night seemed a little quiet. Some unclear roars of wild beasts came from far away. Colin held the gun tighter. Suddenly, he heard a slight noise beside him. Colin tensed his body immediately, like a javelin, ready to shoot at any time. He turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed to be a small animal like a mouse.

"Huh..." I got scared. Rats can scare me at any time. Colin shook his head and continued to walk into the forest, but this time he was more cautious and his pace was much slower.

From time to time, some small animals such as bats, owls, mice, scorpions, etc. appeared in sight, and Colin walked safely to a small lake.

Looking at the lake under the moonlight, the color of the lake and the moonlight reflect each other, which is very peaceful. In this silent deep forest, watching the small fish swimming under the lake from time to time, Colin feels the tranquility at this time and hears the sounds made by the small animals in the forest. A vivid natural picture emerges in his mind, and a feeling of relaxation and refreshment arises spontaneously.

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

Colin wanted to pick one for Nora, but after looking at the location of the flower and the depth of the lake, he hesitated and ultimately did not jump into the lake.

"Crack, crack, crack..." Well, Colin heard a sound behind him and turned around quickly.

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

The bobcat just glanced at Colin, then walked towards the lake on its own, and lowered its head to drink water three meters away from Colin.

Colin was a little nervous, not knowing whether he should draw his gun. Looking at the agile posture of the cat, he was afraid that he might not be able to stab it. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly retreated out of the forest.

After retreating a dozen steps and seeing that the cat had not chased him, Colin hurriedly ran out 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, would he be able to retreat? Or kill it?

"It will be soon. I will learn the Knight's Breathing Technique. I won't always be so weak." Colin encouraged himself.

……

"Nora, look at what this word means? 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 have learned a lot of words now."

"Brother, you are very smart. Benny doesn't know more than you do. She doesn't seem to be very interested in learning to read. After learning for a few days, she didn't care so much. But she seems to be very interested in Master George. Whenever she has the chance, she dresses up. Several times when the young lady came to see the young 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 young lady. Remember, on this island, besides me, you can only rely on the young lady. We can definitely change our destiny and become free people." Thinking of the treasured knight's breathing method, Colin said confidently.

"I know, brother. I'm very obedient. Besides, the young lady treats us very well."

He patted Nora's head and said, "Go back early. Miss 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 Miss well."

"Brother, I will be able to help you when I know more words. I'm going back first. Bye." Nora jumped away.
