The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 206: Lurking in Steel Mane City

The next morning, Colin and Barrick's sister Jenny sent Barrick to the new recruit camp.

The orc who was in charge of registration yesterday was the one who received Barrick. The orc was very enthusiastic. There were many orcs and half-orcs who signed up every day, but not many of them were recognized by him. He still admired Barrick, a young boy.

Standing at the entrance of the new recruit camp, Barrick was full of excitement. This was where his dream began and where his father had set foot. I must follow my father's footsteps and not let my sister and brother Colin worry.

At the entrance, there was more than one new recruit, and it was impossible for others to wait for him endlessly. In the end, Barrick had to say goodbye to his sister Jenny and brother Colin reluctantly, and followed the new recruits to the camp with a shake of his head.

After Jenny bid farewell to Barrick with tears in her eyes, she was still talking to the orc at the entrance, asking him to take good care of Barrick, saying that he was still a child. Fortunately, the orc in charge of registration had a good impression of Barrick, otherwise he would not care about the nonsense of a poor female orc.

Seeing that Jenny was getting more and more excited, Colin had to pull Jenny away. Jenny saw Colin holding her arm and became embarrassed. She did not break free, but took Colin's arm and followed Colin away.

After returning to the residence, Jenny let go of Colin, and after saying that she would prepare lunch first, she hurried back to the house. Colin did not feel anything about Jenny's behavior along the way. He thought more about how much information Barrick could get when he came back in a month.

And our Jenny, after returning to the house, did not plan to cook for a long time. She was still blushing for her bold behavior along the way, but thinking that Colin did not mean to refuse, did he have some thoughts about himself?

Jenny has always known that she is different from other orcs. She looks more like her mother. If you don't pay attention, she is not much different from humans. Most orcs only use human women as a tool for reproduction after capturing them, and they don't have much love for them.

They tend to like stronger female orcs, not only because they are more likely to give birth to strong offspring, but also because strong female orcs can share the hardships of life. However, some orcs like her weak appearance. Is this the case with Brother Colin?

In the past five months of living in Steel Mane City, Colin has not been idle except for teaching Barrick some routine basic movements. Under conditions that are not suitable for experiments, he can only study spells. Due to limited conditions, Colin cannot test large spells.

During this period of time, he mainly practiced soul spells and space spells. Soul spells and space spells are difficult to practice and even more difficult to master. In five months, Colin has only simply started with soul spells, but judging from the effects of the continuous release of soul spells on Jenny and Barrick in the past five months, the effect is very obvious.

The siblings' dependence on Colin increased, and their favorability increased. Although it might be a little strange, it was good enough to achieve the goal. It seemed that the soul suggestion spell could be further developed and applied.

As for the space spells, Colin actually wanted to develop spells such as teleportation, but his knowledge reserve was not good enough, so he could only use the detailed explanation of space spells he found before coming to the Agri plane to cultivate the Dimension Slash.

Looking at the teleportation stone in his hand from the necromancer Pugna, Colin couldn't figure out the principle of its teleportation. Before he was promoted, he thought that he would bite off more than he could chew, so he would be promoted to the next level first. After the promotion, due to various reasons, he had not taken care of studying space spells. Although he was behind enemy lines now, he had plenty of time, but the research was fruitless, and Colin could only helplessly put the teleportation stone into the space equipment again.

During the five months in Steel Mane City, Colin had contacted the base. After learning about Colin's plan, Stanley also agreed. The war ahead would not end in a short time. Since Colin had found a good means of lurking, it would be good to have more intelligence on the orcs.

Colin was not clear about the lurking situation of the other groups. He thought that others should have done well, but Colin did not hear that any major events had happened in any orc city.

While Jenny and Colin were thinking about their own things, Barrick had officially joined the recruit camp. He was assigned to the 53rd team. The captain, Feni, was a werewolf and a "veteran" who had plundered the south once. He was not interested in Barrick, a half-orc, at first, but he didn't know where he got to know Barrick's "record" yesterday. Then his attitude towards Barrick changed very quickly, and he praised Barrick as the hope of the 53rd team and had the appearance of a captain.

Barrick was still a child after all, and he could not stand Feni's naked praise. He blushed a few times and had a good impression of Feni. He felt that all the recruits in the camp were good people, and the captain was the best of the good people. If they had not known each other for a short time, they would have felt that he was comparable to Brother Colin.

There were more than a dozen other orcs who joined the 53rd team together with Barrick. Maybe because of their age, they were not as touched by what Feni said as Barrick.

Feni's speech was not long. He simply asked about the situation of several new orcs, and introduced his great achievements in the last trip south. Then he ended the speech. After announcing that everyone would exercise on time tomorrow, he let everyone rest.

While Barrick was still excited about the assigned accommodation, the old men in the team had already set their sights on Barrick. They enthusiastically pulled Barrick to tell him some precautions in the new recruit camp, such as not to provoke a certain orc, not to go to a certain place, etc. Of course, if Barrick is strong enough, these are not a problem. As long as he doesn't kill orcs, he can do whatever he wants. Orcs speak with strength.

When Barrick asked about Captain Feeney's deeds, several "old men" looked at each other and suddenly laughed. Barrick didn't know what everyone was laughing at. After asking, everyone didn't say much, but just reminded him again to watch more and talk less. When training in the new recruit camp, it is enough to focus on mastering the berserk skills. Nothing else can be taught here.

On the first night in the new recruit camp, Barrick couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He thought of his father, his sister, and his elder brother Colin. He didn't know when he would go to the front line next time. It was said that the war in front was very tense. I don't know if I can make meritorious deeds with my current strength?

As he was lost in thought, Barrick's eyelids finally couldn't resist and closed.
