The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Four and a half months later, outside Griman College.

"Lina, Santa has already contacted them. We need to transfer to a larger airship when we get there. These are the seeds of the academy. Try to minimize casualties when you go there...." Rodbell was still telling Lina to be careful.

"Understood, Lord Rodbell." Lina glanced at the wizard apprentices who were boarding the ship in an orderly manner not far away, and replied casually.

"Okay, anyway, you must be careful and discuss things with Edward." Seeing that Lina was being perfunctory, Rodbell said no more.

……

"Colin, did you also ride this kind of boat in the last competition?" Helen asked curiously.

"Yes, it's much faster than the ship on the sea. If I take the airship, I estimate that it will take less than a month to return to Emerald Island."

"We should buy one someday."

Colin looked at Helen, then at the other wizard apprentices around him, and then said, "Don't even think about it. I don't think we can afford it in a few decades. Let's just improve our strength."

"I thought we had a good family background, but it seems we still need to make money."

"You stay with Connie and the others first. I'm going to look for the teacher." Seeing that Lina had also boarded the ship, Colin ended his chat with Helen.

"teacher."

"Well, how is it, are you nervous?" Lina said.

"I'm a little excited. I haven't been to other planes yet, so I'm a little nervous."

"We have a base over there, so it won't be too dangerous once you get there. The level one creatures over there are mainly dealt with by your uncle, Knight Edward, and I. You guys should mainly target creatures below level one, so be careful."

"Okay, teacher, I will be careful. Why didn't the senior brothers come back this time?"

"I don't know. I've contacted them, but they're all out. They're about to advance, so it's normal that they can't make it back. Besides, this is just a small event. Didn't you see that the academy didn't take it seriously? Otherwise, they wouldn't let me, a first-level wizard, lead the team."

"Here, this is for you. Take it well. It can save your life at a critical moment."

Colin took the alchemical item and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a little gadget I made. After it's activated, it can form a protective shield that should be able to withstand 1000 degrees of damage. Creatures below level one should not be able to break through this value. Even if you encounter a level one creature, it can still withstand it for two hours."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Go ahead. I have something else to do." After giving Colin the alchemical item, Lina stopped talking to Colin and waved her hand to let him leave.

After wandering around, Colin returned to Helen again.

Helen was chatting with Connie, and they seemed to be in harmony. Colin seemed quite happy.

"What did you say? You look so happy." Colin asked.

"What can I say? Just that you're a lecher," said Connie.

"Well, I shouldn't have asked."

"Well, the question is that you are lecherous."

"Did your teacher say anything?" Helen changed the subject.

"Nothing. They even gave me an alchemical item. Although the danger is theoretically small, we still have to be careful. It is definitely more dangerous than our previous missions."

"Ah."

……

The airship was very fast, but it still took more than half a year to reach the space port outside the world.

There were many airships coming and going in the space port, some as big as the one Colin and his companions were riding, and some several times larger than this one, which was an eye-opener for Colin and his companions.

This can be considered an alien version of a spaceship.

According to Earth's monitoring, the airship Colin was riding had a speed of about 300 meters per second, close to the speed of sound, but it is not known how fast those large airships are.

According to the latest monitoring data from Earth, Colin's physical fitness has improved in all aspects, but except for his mental strength, the improvements in other aspects are very small and are all insufficient.

Compared to the last time, eight years have passed, and Colin's strength has just broken through to 17 points, agility 16 points, physique 15 points, and mental strength 16.8. Is this just luck?

The distance from the 20 points to the first-level wizard is still quite large, so Colin thought it would be better to think about the breakthrough after the 19 points.

However, his physical fitness has far surpassed that of a mid-level knight squire, but he has long since given up on the path of a knight.

It is not clear how Teacher Lina managed to connect, but in any case, ten days later, Colin and others switched to a larger airship.

This time, there are not only wizard apprentices from Griman College, but also many knight squires, who should be members of the Masonic Order.

The one that Lina was talking to should be their leader, Knight Edward.

There were 190 senior apprentices and 12 quasi-level wizard apprentices from Griman College on board, including 8 people including Colin, for a total of 202 people; there were 30 quasi-level knights and 330 senior knight attendants from the Masonic Order, for a total of 360 people.

There are more than 500 recruited monsters on board, in addition to a slave army of no less than 10 on the bottom level of the airship.

Three first-level creatures, the Lina sisters and Edward, these are the entire strength of this expedition.

After the transfer, the airship has a larger hull and a faster speed. According to Earth's analysis, it is about 1000 meters per second.

At this speed, it took more than a year to reach the secondary fire element plane.

During more than a year on the ship, Colin made many new friends. After all, more friends mean more paths, and maybe someone can help him at some point.

I heard from my knight friend over there that if the development of the space fortress in the floating city had not come to a standstill, perhaps we could have borrowed that war platform for this expedition.

The lifespan of demigod wizards is very long, up to more than 3000 years, and some long-lived species can live even longer. Fifty years is nothing to Merlin. There are many demigod wizards on the continent who have not taken that step and are all waiting for Merlin's success.

Some of the cutting-edge technologies on the wizard continent have come to a standstill. The space fortress that Colin heard about is one of them. Fortunately, it has been 12 years since the wizard Merlin broke through. According to the original estimate, there is a high probability that he will be able to advance in another 38 years.

Colin is only 32 years old. He can definitely wait and will be able to witness the future grand occasion of the Wizarding Continent.

Although, according to previous calculations, Colin will be able to reach the peak of the quasi-level in about 10 years, and he will only be in his 40s by then, which is not too late, but no one wants to spend that long.

Including the return journey and the time it takes to quell the rebellion, Colin estimates that it will take at least four to five years. I hope there will be a breakthrough this time.

A year later, the airship was docked steadily above the base on the secondary fire elemental plane.

Under the leadership of Lina and Edward, wizard apprentices, knight attendants, as well as the Warcraft and slave legions began to disembark in an orderly manner.

After getting off the boat, the smoke in the sky, the smell of sulfur in the air, and the scorching temperature around him all told Colin that they had arrived at the secondary fire elemental plane!
