The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Miyin Town is really remote, and it is more than 200 miles away from the nearest town. This is indeed a bit strenuous for people who rely on animal power to travel back and forth. This is also one of the reasons why people in Miyin Town rarely go out.

If it weren't for the beautiful scenery of Miyin Town and the many tourists from other places who come to visit every year, it would really be like a relatively closed small world.

With the speed of Colin and Lina, a mere 200 miles is not enough for them to fly for dozens of minutes at their limit, but since they have chosen to "integrate" into this world, they can only let the inferior horse carry them slowly.

It must be said that Hand is quite reliable. Although he has no experience of going out, he has heard all kinds of news from somewhere, which actually allowed him to figure out a map-like drawing. These days, walking along the route on this drawing can also match what the previous travelers said.

As for Colin and Lina, they are happy with it. They don't have to worry about anything, just give orders.

Hande chose a route that was not to go straight to the center of the empire and head towards the capital of the empire, but to go to the nearest small town of Nord to replenish supplies first, and then take the master and the lady to the northern important town of Blizzard City for a tour before discussing the subsequent itinerary.

For Hande's suggestion, Colin followed it. There might be more places to operate in the small town. If there is no opportunity, going to Blizzard City should be rewarding.

After more than 200 miles, under Hande's careful management (bad horse), he finally arrived at Nord City ten days later.

According to Hande, Nord City has nobles and is the superior city-state of Miyin Town. Although people are rarely seen in the city, the mayor still has to come here frequently to report (give gifts).

Colin had no impression of the mayor of Miyin Town mentioned by Hande. He only stayed there for less than three days, so how could he have the leisure to get to know a mortal.

After arriving at the Nord City Gate, they paid some entrance fees at the city gate, and the three of them entered Nord City smoothly.

Although Nord City is a small city, it has everything it should have. Its architectural features are similar to many city-states Colin has seen, but it also has some special features.

Colin plans to live here for a month to see if he can get a noble status.

He did not tell Hand these things. Although Hand's "brainwashing" was successful in the past ten days, Hand's default cognition is that Colin and Lina are nobles.

"Hand, you go and rent a courtyard first. I think Nord City is good. Let's live here for a while."

"Master, how long will it take to rent?"

"Let's rent it for a month first."

Hand drove the carriage and took Colin and Lina to a hotel to settle down first, and then went out to find a place to rent.

In his opinion, the master really knows how to live. In just one month, he just lived in a hotel, and he also rented a courtyard. Maybe the cost can be saved, but he still needs to take care of his own food.

However, since he chose to rely on Colin, he must do his best to serve him in the early stage. Fortunately, although he is not a professional chef in the hotel for several years, he has learned some basic cooking skills, which can barely be said to be an average level.

After finding a local agent, it is easy to find a suitable yard, which is independent and quiet, not too remote. There are patrolling soldiers not far from the street, and the security environment is not bad.

After paying a month's rent, Hand went to Colin to report. Colin arranged for him to buy some living utensils. He and Lina stayed in the small hotel today and moved there tomorrow.

Hand thought that the master and the lady would move directly to the new residence with him, but the master casually said that he arranged some more work for him.

It seems that the work of serving people is not easy, but Hand has chosen this path and must stick to it.

Relying on the knowledge he had heard, he finally bought the necessary living utensils, but it was already late. Hand, who was exhausted, needed to go back to clean up his residence. He had to grit his teeth and go back to work overtime. He didn't go back to the hotel until the evening.

The next morning, Hand forced himself to get up early and went to Colin to report. After Colin and Lina washed up and had breakfast, they drove the carriage to the new residence.

Colin was quite satisfied with the place Hand found. Although he was only going to live there for a short month, a good environment could still make people feel relaxed and happy.

In order to deal with some trivial matters on the road, Colin planned to teach Hand some basic fighting skills from tomorrow, just like the little monkey Barrick did at the beginning. He asked Hand to buy an iron-wrapped wooden stick.

Teaching Hand some basic stick techniques is not only easy to get started, but also can form a certain "combat effectiveness" in a short period of time, and at the same time can enhance Hand's self-confidence.

Hande was very happy to see that his "dedication" in the past half month was finally recognized by the master, and he specially cooked a few special dishes that he was good at in the evening.

Colin and Lina had seen everything, but seeing Hande's special performance, they ate a few more special dishes.

The taste was so-so, barely acceptable, and Colin praised it casually.

The next morning, Hande waited in the yard early, expecting Master Colin to teach him the stick method.

After Colin got up, he simply disassembled the stick method according to the essentials, and taught it to Hande, letting him practice on his own and test him every three days.

Although he taught him martial arts, it was not the end of his job. All the family affairs needed Hand to take care of. Every day, Hand had to go to the city to inquire about the news and report the news he heard in the city to Colin one by one at night.

In less than five days, some people in the city knew that a strange "noble" had come to the city. His subordinates were generous and interested in everything. They said that his master liked strange things and would get a reward for anything he had never heard of.

In the following days, various news came one after another, such as the special relationship between the city's attendant and the daughter of a certain merchant, the tax officer secretly withholding the taxes paid by a certain merchant, and the noble descendants were penniless and could not survive, etc. There were too many and too complicated news.

Hand didn't know why Master Colin spent a lot of money to get these useless news, but he had achieved remarkable results these days. In several three-day tests, Master Colin also specially taught him some urgent and powerful moves.

Hand worked harder and made many "good friends". Even the third son of the eldest uncle of the nephew of the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion became his brother.

This was an experience Hand had never had in Miyin Town for more than ten years. He felt that following Master Colin out was the best thing he had done.
