Chapter 17: father's approval
"No, I made it myself."
Willie told the truth.
"You want to build it yourself?" Uncle Whoopi's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he looked at Willy seriously, "These things are not simple things, they are all lethal weapons, children, you must use these things doing what?"
Facing Uncle Whoopi's doubts, Willy was helpless.
Although I had guessed that this would happen in advance, there was still no good way to avoid Uncle Whoopi's problem.
If possible, Willy even wants to build these weapons himself, so that not only can he keep a low profile, but he may also unlock new titles. But there is no way, there are no other blacksmith shops around, and Uncle Whoopi doesn't allow others to interfere in his blacksmith shop, so he has only one way to seek help from Uncle Whoopi.
"I want to be a hunter and go hunting in Morse Forest."
Willy can only tell the truth. In fact, he can't make up any other excuses.
"Hunter?"
Uncle Whoopi looked at Willy with surprise.
Becoming a hunter, in this world, represents the strength and status of a man. For civilians, this is a good development path, provided that you have to bear the risks of hunting moments.
"Have you discussed it with your parents?"
Uncle Whoopi stared at Willy seriously.
"No……"
Facing Uncle Whoopi's questioning, Willy had a headache. He even felt that it was not a wise decision to come to Uncle Whoopi.
"Willie, I know you just came back from Morse Forest. Maybe you didn't encounter any danger during your trip to Morse Forest, but that doesn't mean the forest is safe. Listen to me and go back. After consulting with your father, and when he agrees, you will build these things."
Uncle Whoopi watched Willy grow up. He didn't want to see Willy make a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life because of a spur of the moment.
Willy is completely speechless. He can't tell Uncle Whoopi directly that he has rich hunting experience and has killed one wolf in a pack of wolves. This is too ridiculous, Uncle Whoopi won't believe it.
"I will discuss this matter with my father tonight. He will definitely agree with my decision. Uncle Whoopi, please help me this time."
Willie said sincerely.
Uncle Whoopi was dull and silent. After a long time, he slowly said, "Okay, I promise you, but when hunting, you must not go too deep into the forest, where there are dangers that you can't imagine."
When Willy heard the words, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Uncle Whoopi, I will follow your advice. By the way, how much does it cost to build these things?"
Uncle Whoopi thought for a moment: "Thirty silver rams."
This is a fairly fair price. After taking the cost out, Uncle Whoopi can't make a lot of money at all.
"It's a gold rum."
Willy handed a golden coin to Uncle Whoopi.
Uncle Whoopi knew that Willy had received a sum of money from the hiring team, so he was not surprised that Willy could come up with a gold rum, he went into the inner room, stayed for a while, and took out a small bulging bag .
"There are seventy silver rams inside, count them."
Uncle Whoopi handed the purse to Willy.
"There's no need to count." After Willy accepted the money, he asked Uncle Whoopi, "Please don't tell my parents about this."
Uncle Whoopi nodded: "I see."
Walking out of Uncle Whoopi's blacksmith shop, Willy suddenly felt a little uneasy. He always felt that Uncle Whoopi was not very reliable.
At home, on the dining table.
After Mrs. Shawin and Laclaw had made dinner, Willy and Veria had already prepared dinner in advance.
The vegetable soup boiled with the leftover bones of the roasted chicken, the radish dish with a few shreds of pork, and a large piece of white bread, compared to the original, this is an extremely rich meal.
"I went to the kitchen to take a look just now and found that there seemed to be less white bread."
After Mrs. Shawin took her seat, she looked at Veria with questioning eyes: "Velia, did you steal it?"
Veria shook her head like a rattle: "No, mother, I didn't steal it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Willy, he can testify for me."
"Is that so? Willy."
Mrs. Shawin looked at Willie.
"Mother, I can testify that Veria did steal white bread while I was not paying attention. You should discipline her well."
Willy's serious attitude seemed to really persuade his mother.
Veria's eyes widened in disbelief. She didn't expect Willy to betray herself.
"Vilia!"
Mrs. Shawin raised her face, she didn't want to educate her only daughter into a mischievous person: "No next time, or I will punish you for not allowing dinner! As punishment, after dinner today, I will supervise your scrubbing. tableware."
"Okay, mother..."
Veria was very aggrieved. She lowered her head and looked at Willy with angry eyes.
Willie pretended not to see.
This is Veria's own fault. She agreed to eat only a small piece, but she ate so much when she was not at home. My mother couldn't see it, so why couldn't she find the less white bread?
Today's table is a little deserted, mainly because Veria, who is usually lively and talkative, has always been sullen.
After dinner, only Willie and Lake were left at the table Mrs. Shawin and Veria had gone to the kitchen.
"Willie."
Lake suddenly raised his head and looked at Willy: "Whoopi came to me today, and he told me that you want to be a hunter."
Willie knew what was going to happen when he saw Lake's expression, and it was revealed.
"Father, I..."
Willie was having a headache how to explain, but was interrupted by Lake.
There was no anger in Lake's eyes, and his tone was quite calm: "You want to be a hunter, I respect your choice."
"Ok?"
Hearing Lake's words, Willie was surprised.
How dare your father agree to such a dangerous thing?
"I……"
For a while, Willy didn't know what to say.
Looking at his grown son, Lake was very relieved: "I have seen your growth from a series of recent events. I'm sorry I treated 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 job to be a hunter, I hope you stick with it. More importantly, protect yourself."
"I will, father."
Willie straightened his back and looked directly into Lake's eyes.
Lake smiled gratified: "It has been a long time since there has been a good hunter in the village. I hope you can become a person respected by the villagers."
Willy nodded firmly, and seemed to think about it again, looking a little embarrassed: "But on the mother's side, will she agree?"
"I will convince her."
Lake showed his support for Willie.
"I'll be a good hunter."
Willie made his promise to Lake.
