The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Emerald Collar——

The reward for hunting the black bear a few days ago came down, 20 Nomisma, but half of it was deducted as "tax". Colin did not exchange the money, as money was useless on this island, so he directly exchanged it for 20 military merit points.

Colin had celebrated his 15th birthday last month with Nora, who also brought some delicious snacks.

After the conversation, Colin realized that Nora was not much younger than him. She was already 13 and a half years old. He was once again amazed at the mature age of people in this world. In the eyes of others, he was completely an adult man.

Noble men would hold their coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 16, but most would choose to get married at 18; most women would get married around the age of 16, but there were also some who got married at 14.

And Benny, who was with Nora, was actually one year older than Nora. She was just thin and short due to malnutrition since she had not eaten enough before landing on the island. After a few months of sufficient food supply, she quickly returned to normal. Benny is almost 15 years old.

……

"What are you thinking about, brother?" Nora asked

Meeting Nora has become an indispensable part of Colin's life. Since his 15th birthday, he has met Nora no less than 8 times in just one month.

"Nothing, have you ever thought about leaving here?" Colin asked

"Why do you want to leave? Isn't it nice here?" Nora asked in confusion.

"The world is so big, I want to go see it..." Colin said jokingly.

"Will you come with me?"

"But, the lady is very good to me... Well, but wherever my brother goes, Nora will go." Nora answered firmly soon.

Seeing Nora's dependence on him, Colin was also very pleased. Although he had family in Xishan Village, Hongmulin Town, they were only relatives in his memory, and the relationship was far less deep than the one he had with Nora in the past six months.

"By the way, brother, I once saw Benny and Master George talking and laughing together. They looked very happy. Moreover, Benny even held Master George's arm."

"What do you think of Bernie and George?" asked Colin.

"It seems that Benny likes Master George very much, and Master George seems to have accepted it." Nora said after thinking about it.

Benny's thoughts are much more complicated than Nora's. If she can become George's woman, her future life will definitely be more secure. However, "The love between the prince and Cinderella?" Colin is not optimistic.

No matter where you are, strength is the most important. Without matching strength and status, love is unequal. As the only heir to the baron, Master George is not a hot-headed person who would do anything reckless.

"Tell me about your lady. How is she? Is she still reading any magic book?" Colin asked.

"Well, the young lady has read all the books on magic in the Baron's study. Butler Gandalf also taught her many tricks on how to use magic. But I heard that she will go to the capital in a while."

Colin's heart tightened. "Then when the time comes, will you go with me?"

"Oh, I didn't think about it. Maybe. Then will we be separated, brother?" Nora was also a little anxious.

"I can't go anywhere with this damn identity." Colin thought with a sinking heart.

"Freedom, freedom..." Colin's thoughts became stronger.

"Don't panic, brother will find a way." Colin could only comfort Nora first.

"I'm done. I'll ask the young lady if I can not go, or go with my brother." Nora said hurriedly.

"Don't ask anymore. Just continue to serve the young lady well. I'll figure out the rest."

……

"Master George, what do you like to do besides training?" Benny asked.

There can be no room for carelessness in daily training. As the heir to the Emerald Lord, George knows that a prominent position must be matched with strength, so he has been practicing knight skills since he was a child. Although his family's foundation is weak and he is practicing the knight skills bestowed by his grandfather to his father, as long as he practices hard, it is not impossible for him to become a high-level knight squire.

George perfectly inherited his mother's appearance genes and his father's strong physique. Years of etiquette learning made George look like a new noble family. He believed that even if he arrived in the royal capital, he would not be much worse than those noble young masters.

George is already 16 years old, and his family is preparing a coming-of-age ceremony for him, which will be held in the near future. Some families from the Principality may be invited to visit.

The coming-of-age ceremony is not only a way to socialize with other families, but also a way to let other families know about George, the heir to the Emerald Territory, and the possibility of marriage.

George's cultivation needs have always been provided by his family. In addition to purchasing from outside, the magical beasts in the island's forest also provided a lot of resources.

"I also like the cute Benny, haha," George said with a smile.

"Master..." Benny lowered her head shyly.

……

The Emerald Island is not small in size, no less than a viscount's territory in the inland area. According to the surveying and mapping, the Emerald Island is generally long and narrow. The areas that can be developed are mainly concentrated in the west of the island. The east is mainly a large forest. The port is also in the northwest corner of the island, located south of the Port of Oakland. Going further south, you will reach the Azure Empire, one of the three great empires. The forest area on the island is not small, half of the island, and the resources in the forest are very rich.

As the only high-ranking knight attendant on the island, Alex led his team back and forth between the castle and the depths of the forest all year round. Every time he returned to the castle, he would bring some monster meat, magic grass and other supplies. Although he felt that there should be monsters of the same level as him in the deepest part of the forest, no one provoked anyone. The monsters deep in the forest chose to ignore Alex's behavior of hunting other monsters.

"Hey, I'm lucky today. I actually found this thing." Alex thought as he looked at the dragon blood grass he had just picked.

"Could it be that the monster in the forest is a sub-dragon monster? Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a magical plant to grow."

It seems we need to be more vigilant, as the power of the Asian dragon beast is not small.

"Little George, it's time for him to break through to a low-level knight squire. This will be his coming-of-age gift." Alex thought with satisfaction.

……

"What are we going to do today? I see people on the island busy. Is something big happening?" Colin asked his teammates after finishing his daily training.

"You kid, you only know how to train every day and don't care about the major events on the island. Today is Master George's coming-of-age ceremony. Didn't you see that many important people have come to the island? Hurry up and eat a few bites. After dinner, we also have a mission and need to be on duty."

"Coming of age ceremony? It seems George is 16 years old..."

"Poor little Nora, she may be very busy today and may not have time to meet me. But I can take this opportunity to learn more about the aristocracy of this world and see what kind of style those big shots have." Colin thought.
