Chapter 16: Serpent type
It was early hours of the afternoon and the sun was blasting over the settlement with scorching heat.
At the moment, at the spacious backyard of Old Man James’ house, Noah and Ragnar could be seen standing close to each other.
Sitting in front of them on an old wooden stool was Old Man James who could not stop smiling at the thoughts of teaching the two finest young men in the settlement.
If he could make them into expert swordmen, he would have something valid to brag about and even if he died, his name and teaching would live on in their hearts.
’I prayed for times like this,’ he thought as his gaze switched between the two of them.
While he was extremely happy about teaching both of them the ways of the sword, he was also worried.
"Noah, can you describe the monster once again?" he asked.
Noah nodded, then he began describing the monster they saw last night in intricate detail.
"It looked really strong and scary, but its flying speed was not that fast," Noah concluded his explanation.
Ragnar also added the details Noah missed: since he was the closest to the monster, he saw more of its features than the twin.
When both of them finished explaining to the old man, he fell silent. Both youths gazed at him, awaiting his response impatiently.
Old Man James fell into deep thought for a few minutes and heaved a long sigh as his aged eyes aimed at the youths in front of him.
