The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chapter 238 Recruiting Marcus

Although Nora could not accompany Colin due to health reasons, Colin was happy for several days because of the careful company of his three wives and the fact that he had offspring again.

After the joy, the second-level fire element energy core obtained from the Della family came in handy. After finding Lina, Lina agreed to help refine the potion, but Colin needed to provide 20 wizard coins as the refining fee, because this alone was not enough, and some other ingredients were needed.

Well, I risked my life to go to the Skeleton Plane, and all of a sudden I only had 10 wizard coins left. Fortunately, I solved a difficult problem, so it’s not a loss.

It took three and a half years to explore the Skeleton Plane. Colin is already 97 years old, and his contract with teacher Lina will end in 43 years. Since signing the contract, he has not paid much, but has gained a lot. Even if the contract expires, he must maintain a good relationship with the teacher.

Now there is only one obstacle for Colin to be promoted to the second level, and that is the value of his mental strength. Considering Colin's current life span, there will be no big problem in being promoted to the second level. The result of Dixing's estimation is that he will be able to reach the promotion standard of the second level wizard before and after the contract with Teacher Lina ends.

Of course, if Colin could get some rare treasures, this time could be advanced. Finally, as for the use of potions, Colin has been very cautious in this regard for many years, and would only consider taking a small amount before advancing.

When Colin went to explore the Skeleton Plane, the rewards from the Agri Plane also came down. However, because Colin was not there, they were sent to his home and collected by Helen. Because Colin had already obtained the most valuable thing of the Agri Plane from Charlotte, he exchanged all his merit points for wizard coins. A total of 50 wizard coins were sent by Listan.

After more than a decade of accumulation, the Heaton family has basically digested the profits from the Acacia plane. Although Teacher Lina did not say it explicitly, Colin has a feeling that the teacher will still launch a plane war. The specific time and plane have not yet been determined, but it should be before the end of his contract.

The income from the Victoria's Secret Wizard Council can be delivered on time. Although Colin has not been here in recent years and the information is generally handled by Helen, they still pass on some non-core intelligence, such as the fact that wizards Fred and Oscar have been promoted to level two, Urs failed in his first promotion and is preparing for a second impact on level two, etc.

Marcus and Wood, two members of the South Sea Hermits, have not seen Colin for some time since they separated last time. Since seeing the importance of power, Colin had already started to lay out the Emerald Island in the early years, and the construction of the academy has also reached a certain scale, but in order to make achievements, a lot of manpower and resources are still needed.

Marcus was the person Colin wanted to win over. They had known each other for a long time, had always gotten along well, and he had no family burden. These were things Colin had already thought about.

Since there is nothing to do recently, he might as well look for Marcus. Unfortunately, Colin failed to contact Marcus the first time. It should be because the distance was too far or he was not in this dimension, so he had to give up.

Colin took some time to meet with his eldest brother-in-law Conrad. Now that he had been promoted to the next level, he couldn't always be a wild knight. Colin meant to join a faction, but he couldn't support it now, so he had to let him choose another one.

Conrad was inclined to join the Masonic Order at Griman College. After all, that was where he had studied, and some of his former classmates had joined there, so he wouldn't be too isolated.

Colin's suggestion was to introduce him to Lord Beruk of the Listan Alliance. He was hired by Listan in the last plane war, so he had a good foundation. Moreover, Listan was a knight alliance, which was better for the growth of knights. Lord Griman was a wizard, and the Masonic Knights were his subordinate organization. After comparing the two, he felt that Listan was more suitable.

Conrad seriously considered Colin's opinion, and finally agreed with Colin's idea with the approval of his younger sister Connie.

Colin soon received a reply to the letter he sent to Beruk. Since he was an official knight and Colin's brother-in-law, there was nothing else to say and he naturally agreed. However, he was embarrassed to give any special treatment to Conrad, who had not done anything, so he could only guarantee to treat him equally.

Colin took a look at the contents of the contract and found that there were generally no hidden traps. The annual income was also above the standard level. The only thing Colin was not satisfied with was the length of service. Listan wanted 200 years, while Colin wanted 50 years, or at most 80 years, because Colin also had ambitions.

The final contract period was changed to 100 years. After all, Beruk was just a middle-level manager and he couldn't make the decisions on many things. Colin was very grateful that it could be negotiated like this.

For this purpose, Colin took his brother-in-law to Cardia City again to arrange Conrad's employment.

Because Listan had just finished the conquest of the Agri plane, there was no war in the short term, but the first task assigned to Conrad was to garrison a plane under their name for 10 years.

Colin felt a little embarrassed. He thought that he would have some relaxed time after joining. However, Conrad was very open-minded. It was not his first time to go to an alien dimension. Besides, it was just a garrison mission and there was no big danger. He urged Colin to go back quickly to accompany Connie. It was the right thing to do to give him a nephew as soon as possible.

After Colin left the Listan headquarters, he tried to contact Marcus again. This time he was lucky and got in touch with him. It turned out that Marcus had also been to the underground world. A lot of things happened in the underground world. They decided to meet and talk in detail.

Colin did not stay in Cardia any longer, but returned to Megwen, patiently waiting for Marcus' arrival.

Four months later, Marcus arrived, exhausted.

……

"Long time no see, Marcus."

"Yes, it's been more than ten years. I asked Connie a few years ago. I heard that you went to a location plane. You are really bold."

"It's not bad. Fortune and wealth are sought through risk. This is a smooth journey back."

"I know you've always been lucky. By the way, you don't know that a big thing happened in the underground world in recent years."

"what?"

“You know, the wizard tower in the underground world usually suppresses one level of existence. As far as we know, there are only three levels, but in fact there are many levels below, and it is not easy for wizards in the underground world.

Because before the wizarding world was promoted to the intermediate world in the early years, it had a brief contact with the abyss world. Although it did not cause much harm to the wizarding world and we quickly got rid of their influence, the underground was inevitably polluted.

The underground abyss demons also came from this, but they have been localized and recognized by the Heart of the Plane. Although they have become part of the wizarding world, they themselves do not seem to think so. Over the years, they have been wanting to occupy larger territories, cultivate more demons, and even want to return to the abyss world.

In recent years, the wizard tower has made great efforts to suppress the third layer of the underground world and has been blocking the attacks of the demons in the underground abyss. I was also hired some time ago and fought for many years. Hey, you know what, the income is really good, not much less than your battles in other dimensions.

By the way, I also saw a group of special wizards in the underground world. They are said to be from the Dalavini area. You know, that area should be controlled by the dark wizards. I didn’t expect that the underground world could summon people from there.”

"You've had a lot of experiences during this period. I'm much more bored. I went to an uninhabited plane, full of skeleton creatures. The last one I almost didn't come back."

"Let me tell you, the wizards in the Dalavini region are really ruthless. I don't think you will get anything good if you go there. They are too brutal, and their fighting power far exceeds that of wizards of the same level."

"Oh? I must see it when I get a chance."

"As long as you want, you can do it anytime. The underground world has been recruiting people to resist the attacks of the underground abyss demons."

"Okay, I'll go back and take a look when I get a chance. This time I came to you mainly to seek your opinion. I wonder if you are interested in becoming the dean of Emerald Island College."

"Emerald Isle? Isn't that where Helen and her family live?"

"Yes, a few years ago, I asked the Helen family to build a college there. It has developed well in recent years. My niece is also there."

"Hmm..., huh? Colin, something's wrong with you. Do you have any ideas?"

"Well, I do have some ideas, but it depends on whether you are willing or not. I won't treat you unfairly."

"Well... well, I'll grant your wish. I'm really tired of being alone these years. It's not bad to find a place to stay. But let's make it clear that I won't agree if the treatment is not good."

"Well, don't worry, you stay here for a few days, I'll contact them right away."
