The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 203 Lurking in Steel Mane City

Jenny and Barrick are a pair of siblings who live in the slums west of Steel Mane City. Their father is a monkey warrior. When he was young, he captured his mother in a war of looting in the south. His mother was a pure-blooded human woman and once asked to die after being captured.

But his father is different from other tribesmen. He is not tyrannical at all. Although he is an orc, he is very thoughtful. After bringing his mother back, he has always treated her gently. In addition, the appearance of the monkey tribe is not as scary as that of other orcs. After a long time of getting along, the mother finally accepted his father.

In the following years, Jenny and Barrick were born one after another. Although the family of four lived in the slums, their father always found ways to bring back some delicious and fun things for the two siblings. Jenny and Barrick had a relatively happy childhood.

But in the last war to the south, his father unfortunately fell on the battlefield. Although the overall benefits of that war were good, no one would pay much attention to a dead orc. After the mother received the news of his father's death, there was nothing else.

Jenny and Barrick's family were suddenly in trouble. The innate diligence and hardworking qualities of humans made their mother bear the burden of raising two children alone. Although other orcs had other ideas, fortunately, the orcs as a whole took care of the families of soldiers, and they did not dare to force it.

In the orc kingdom, the lower-level orcs could not live well, so how could a human woman live well?

Under the care of their mother, Jenny and her brother could only barely maintain food and clothing, and survived with bumps and bumps, but this life did not last for a few years. Their mother eventually fell down due to overwork and never woke up again.

The eldest sister is like a mother. Jenny is already 14 years old. In the orc world, she can get married. It's not that no one came to propose marriage, but her younger brother Barrick is only 12 years old. She still wants to take care of her younger brother for a few years, hoping to persist until her younger brother becomes an adult. It would be better if she could join the boot camp and become an orc warrior, so that her younger brother would not have to worry about getting married and having children, and she could live up to her dead parents.

On this day, Jenny felt someone following her on her way back from work. She looked back and found nothing.

Jenny felt that she might be paranoid. This was on the street. Who dared to bully others openly? The laws of the orcs were also very strict.

But as she got closer to home, this feeling became stronger and stronger until Jenny was stopped by someone.

"Hey, isn't this our beautiful and lovely Jenny? Where are you coming back from? Let's see if you bought any delicious food today?"

The chaos in the slums is also famous throughout the Steel Mane City. The guards in the city rarely come here. Although everyone knows the power of the law, there are still many dark and dirty things in places where the law cannot shine.

Jenny didn't know how many times she had experienced the scene in front of her. She knew that as long as she ignored them, she would be fine if she hid in public.

Jenny moved her feet carefully, trying to bypass a few people, but these guys today didn't seem to be just talking nonsense like before, but grabbed Jenny's arm.

"What are you doing? Let me go." Jenny struggled and shouted.

"What are you doing? I'm telling you, I've been selected into the recruit camp, and I'll be training soon. I'll be a great orc warrior in the future, but I still need a wife. I think you're good. Your family can't make ends meet, so I can give you some money.

Oh, by the way, I'll also take care of your encumbered brother, how about that? I'm good to you, right?" Pig-headed man Shiro looked at Jenny, then turned his head and looked at several younger brothers and said with a smile.

"Yes, sister-in-law Jenny, just follow your elder brother. If you follow elder brother Shiro in the future, you'll have endless happiness. What's there to be embarrassed about?" Several younger brothers were also beating the drums.

"Let me go, I don't want to, let me go, everyone help me." Jenny was still shouting.

The people around looked at Jenny and Shiro indifferently, most of them looked like they were watching a good show. Several monkey orcs wanted to help, but after thinking about it, they didn't act.

In this city, except for the orc royal family, the status of pig-headed people is generally higher than that of other orcs. Although there are legal constraints, such things happen every day in the slums. Who can control it? Who dares to control a pig-headed person?

Just as Shiro and Jenny were pulling, a loud voice came from the back, "Let her go!"

Shiro and his younger brothers looked at a "monkey" orc who was slowly coming from the back, and felt that this guy was really bold.

"What, you say it again? It was you who meddled in other people's business just now?" Shiro didn't expect that there were still monkeys who dared to meddle in his business.

"I said, let her go, don't make me angry, even the monkey master is afraid of getting angry." Colin walked near them and said.

Several other monkey orcs not far away were also watching with joy. You know, the orcs admire warriors. If they can really defeat these pig-headed people head-on, even if other pig-headed people know, they won't say much.

They wanted to go forward to cheer him on, but they were afraid that this guy was just an empty shell. If he couldn't hold on, they would have to suffer as well. Let's wait and see.

"Hey, where did you come from? I want to see what happens when you get angry, sir." Hero laughed loudly.

Colin twisted his neck, moved his wrist, and said, "How about it? Then let's fight."

"Ah, he wants to fight with me, I'm so scared,... I want to die! I'll help you, brothers, come on!" Hero was not a pushover either. As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of Jenny and rushed up with a few brothers.

These pig-headed people were not even recruits. According to the strength classification of the human side, at most they were the strength of an apprentice knight's squire, not even at the low level. In front of Colin, they were really not good enough.

Colin knocked several guys to the ground with three punches and two kicks. This was the result of Colin deliberately holding back 90% of his strength. Otherwise, with one punch, this kind of stuff would be beaten into blood foam.

"Are you convinced?" Colin looked down at Hero lying on the ground and asked.

"I am convinced, I am convinced, big brother." In front of strength, Hero had to bow his head.

"Then do you dare to pester Jenny again?"

"No, I won't dare to do that again."

"Okay, if I see you pestering Jenny again, it won't be so easy next time, go away."

After hearing what Colin said, the Hiro brothers didn't dare to say even a polite word, and immediately got up and ran away.

"Let's go, let's go home first." Colin said to Jenny.

The other monkey orcs wanted to make friends, but Colin ignored them and just looked at Jenny quietly.

"Where did this warrior come from? When did our monkey tribe have such a powerful person? Why don't I know him?"

"You don't know him. What's your identity? Where can you know such a powerful person? Besides, the Orc Empire is so big, it's normal to have a few monkey warriors."

Jenny was also a little confused. Which kind-hearted person in the tribe was this? Was he a friend my father met before he died? Why didn't I hear my father mention him before?

However, Jenny could still feel the kindness of this person. It was not convenient to say much on this occasion. She just nodded to Colin and took Colin home.
