Chapter 17: Father's Approval
"No, I built it myself. ”
Willie told the truth.
"You want to build it yourself?" Uncle Whoopi looked at Willy with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "These things are not simple things, these are all lethal weapons, kid, what are you going to do with these things?"
Faced with Uncle Whoopy's questioning, Willy was helpless.
Although I had already guessed that this would be the case, there was still no good way to circumvent Uncle Whoopi's problem.
If he could, Willy would even want to build these weapons himself, so that he could not only keep a low profile, but might also unlock a new title. But there was no other blacksmith shop around, and Uncle Whoopi wouldn't allow anyone to meddle in his smithy, so the only way he could do it was to seek Uncle Whobi's help.
"I want to be a hunter and go hunting in Morse Forest. ”
Willy could only tell the truth, and in fact, he couldn't make up any other excuses than that.
"Hunter?"
Uncle Whoopi looked at Willy with surprise in his eyes.
Becoming a hunter, in this world, represents the strength and status of a man, and for civilians it is a good path of development, provided that you take the risk of the hunting moment.
"Have you consulted with your father and mother?"
Uncle Whoopi stared at Willy solemnly.
"No ......"
Faced with Uncle Whobi's questioning, Willy had a headache, and he even felt that it was not a wise decision to come to Uncle Whoopi.
"Wiley, I know you've just returned from Morse Forest, and you may not have encountered any danger during this trip to Morse Forest, but that doesn't mean it's safe in the forest. Listen to me, go back and consult with your father, and when he agrees, you can build these things. ”
Uncle Whoopi grew up watching Willy, and he didn't want to see Willy make a decision he would regret for the rest of his life because of a moment of impulse.
Willy was completely speechless, he couldn't just tell Uncle Whoopi that he had a lot of experience as a hunter and had killed one wolf after another among the wolves, it was too, Uncle Whoopi wouldn't believe it.
"I'll discuss this with my father tonight, and he'll agree with my decision, Uncle Whoopi, and you can help me this time. ”
Willy said sincerely.
Uncle Whoopi was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "Okay, I promise you, but when hunting, you must not go too deep into the forest, where there are dangers that you can hardly imagine. ”
When Willy heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Uncle Whoopi, I will listen to your opinion. By the way, how much does it cost to build these things?"
Uncle Whoopi pondered, "Thirty silver rams." ”
It's a fairly fair price, and after the cost, Uncle Whoopi doesn't make a lot of money at all.
"It's a Kingham. ”
Willy handed a golden coin to Uncle Whoopy.
Uncle Whoopi knew that Willy had taken a sum of money from the mercenary team, so he wasn't surprised that Willy was able to pull out a piece of Kinnham, and he went into the inner room, stayed for a while, and pulled out a bulging pouch.
"Seventy silver rums in there, count them. ”
Uncle Whoopi handed the money bag to Willy.
"Don't count. After accepting the money, Willy pleaded with Uncle Whoopi, "Please don't tell my father and mother about this matter yet." ”
Uncle Whoopi nodded: "I see." ”
Walking out of Uncle Whoopy's blacksmith shop, Willy suddenly felt a little uneasy, he always felt that Uncle Whoopi was not very reliable.
At home, at the dinner table.
After Mrs. Sawin and Leclaw had finished their work, Willy and Velia had already prepared dinner.
The green vegetable soup made from the bones left over from the grilled chicken, the radish dish with a few shredded meats, and a large amount of white bread are a hearty meal.
"I just went to the kitchen and saw that there seemed to be some white bread missing. ”
After Mrs. Sawin sat down, she looked at Vilia with questioning eyes: "Vilia, did you steal it?"
Vilia shook her head like a rattle: "No, Mother, I didn't steal food, if you don't believe it, you can ask Willy, he can testify for me." ”
"Is that so? ”
Mrs. Sawin looked at Willy.
"Mother, I can testify that Vilia did steal white bread while I was not looking, and you should discipline her well. ”
Willy's rigorous attitude seems to be really persuading his mother.
Velia's eyes widened in disbelief, she didn't expect Willy to betray herself.
"Vilia!"
Mrs. Sawin kept a straight face, she didn't want to raise her only daughter to be a naughty ghost: "Don't have a next time, or I'll punish you for not having dinner!" ”
"Okay, mother......"
Velia was very aggrieved, she lowered her head and looked at Willy with angry eyes.
Willy pretended not to see it.
This is Vilia's own fault, saying that she only ate a small piece of it, but she secretly ate so much when she was not at home, and her mother was not invisible, how could she not find the white bread that had become less?
Today's table is a little deserted, mainly because of the usually lively and talkative Velia, who has been acting sullen.
After the meal, only Willy and Lake were left at the table, and Mrs. Sawaen and Velia had gone to the kitchen.
"Willy. ”
Lake suddenly looked up at Willy, "Whoopi looked for me today, and he told me about your desire to be a hunter." ”
As soon as Willy saw Lake's expression, he knew that he was going to suffer, and sure enough, the matter was exposed.
"Father, I ......"
Willy was having a headache to explain, but was interrupted by Lake.
There was no anger in Ryker's eyes, and his tone was quite calm: "You want to be a hunter, I respect your choice." ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Ryke's words, Willy was surprised.
Such a dangerous thing, my father actually agreed?
"I ......"
For a moment, Willy didn't know what to say.
Lake looked at his grown son and was very relieved: "From a series of recent events, I have seen your growth, sorry I still regarded you as a child before." But now I don't think so, you've grown up and it's time to choose your own path. It's a tough business to be a hunter, and I hope you can keep it up. More importantly, protect yourself. ”
"I will, father. ”
Willy straightened his back and looked Ryker in the eye.
Lake smiled with relief, "It's been a long time since there has been a good hunter in the village, I hope you can be someone respected by the villagers." ”
Willy nodded firmly, as if he thought about it again, and his face was a little embarrassed: "But on Mother's side, will she agree?"
"I'll convince her. ”
Lake showed his support for Willy.
"I'm going to be a great hunter. ”
Willy confronted Lake and made his own promise.
