The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chapter 306: Encounter with Hedram

The Victoria Islands are not far from the Greenland Islands. At Charles' current flying speed, it will take less than two months to fly there.

After leaping down from Charles' back, Colin landed steadily outside Gleeman College. The area outside the college was becoming more and more prosperous, with a tendency to develop into a small town beyond a big town. After all, Lord Gleeman was different. He was now one of the few fourth-level wizards in the wizarding world and a major force in the southern part of the world. Who wouldn't want to come here to do business?

There are shops of the Emerald Isle here, but Colin did not go in. After Helen followed him to Morgwen, the shops here have been handed over to the management of the Emerald Isle. Only the shop in the Morgwen area still belongs to Colin's Villiers family.

Colin did not enter the college immediately. According to the timeline for reporting, there was still more than half a month left, so Colin was not in a hurry. It would be better for him to meet up with his two good friends in the college for a drink in the evening.

Walking on the neat street, Colin was also observing the big town outside the college. As far as the Emerald Island was concerned, none of them were so large. Firstly, due to the limited area, except for the castle area which was considered a city, other places were at most medium-sized towns. Secondly, the strength was not enough and the ability to attract mobile personnel was not strong enough.

In addition to the shops of some large forces here, the shops on the Griman Islands are mostly shops of various small and medium-sized forces within the archipelago. In addition to buying and selling goods, they should also be tasked with gathering intelligence. After all, as a major force in the south, the Griman Islands' every move involves too many things. Who doesn't want to know the news first?

Just as Colin was wandering around the town unconsciously, he suddenly found a person coming towards him who looked very familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that it was Admiral Hedram Bergs, commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Navy of the Port of Auckland of the former Principality of Denton.

When Colin was still a slave, Commander Hedram Burgess had fought against Jack, a famous pirate in the former Rio de Janeiro Sea, and destroyed countless large and small pirate ships. He was considered one of the few promising generals in the Denton Navy. However, Colin had not seen him since he came to Grimman College to study. I don't know how he met him here.

Colin subconsciously asked the Earth Star to test him, and soon obtained the physical data of Hedram Bergsson. It was obvious that he had exceeded the basic attributes of a first-level knight, but had not reached the second level. It was obvious that he was taking the knight route.

When Colin was looking at Hedram Burgess, Hedram also immediately sensed his gaze. The other party should be a wizard, and the aura he felt was stronger than his own, perhaps a level one peak wizard or a stronger level two.

Although it was rude to stare at others on the street, Hedram did not dare to say anything. After being promoted to a formal knight these years, his temper had been smoothed a lot. He was no longer the admiral of the navy who wanted to intervene in every injustice he saw. Now he felt deeply crushed by strength. To those who are stronger than you, you have to bow down.

Hedram served in the Denton Navy in his early years, and later saw through the corruption of the navy. Among the five fleets, only the one he led was doing its job wholeheartedly, while the other four tried to avoid it and make as much money as possible. Although he also wanted to give some benefits to his brothers, because he was relatively upright, the income was limited, and gradually some brothers began to complain.

Later, Hedram gave up and resigned. After resigning, his strength improved rapidly. At the age of 55, he was officially promoted to the first-class knight. After the promotion, he also considered whether to join the Victoria Islands Magician Council, but after repeated consideration, he gave up because of the shadow of the three duchies.

After a brief trip on the mainland, he returned to the Griman Islands, and was subsequently recruited by the Masonic Knights under the Griman College and officially joined the Freemasonry.

In fact, they belong to the same organization as Edward's knights, but unless Edward has a mission in the group, he will definitely stay in the Megwen area to accompany the wizard Jaina. Hedram has only seen Knight Edward three or five times in nearly a hundred years.

This time, Hedram was strolling on the street. He had just returned from a plane guarding mission. He was strolling around casually to see if there were any items of interest. Unexpectedly, he met the wizard on the opposite side.

Although he didn't know why the wizard opposite him was staring at him, he still vaguely felt a sense of familiarity from the wizard's appearance. He didn't know when he had seen the other party in the past years, but he really couldn't remember clearly.

……

Colin saw Hedram getting closer and closer to him, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. After all, based on past experience, although Hedram was fighting pirates out of duty, he also saved him indirectly. It would be good to get to know him formally. What's more, every person who can be promoted to the next level is "connections and resources", and Colin doesn't want to miss it.

"Hello, Admiral Hedram." Colin took two steps forward and greeted him.

"Oh? Mr. Wizard, do you know me?" Hedram answered without hesitation.

"My name is Colin, and I come from Emerald Island (although Colin was originally born in Xishan Village, Hongmulin Town, more than a hundred years have passed, and Colin has always claimed to be from Emerald Island.). More than a hundred years ago, I was a slave on the Batto ship. Thanks to you for saving me, I have grown up to this day. Thank you very much."

After hearing what Colin said, Hedram felt relieved. It turned out that he had not offended the other party, nor was he here to seek revenge. This made it easy to deal with.

"Hello, Wizard Colin. I was just doing my duty at the beginning. It's nothing. Your talent is really extraordinary. In just a hundred years, you have been promoted to level two?"

"Well, I was promoted not long ago more than ten years ago. It was just luck. At the beginning, I also wanted to be a knight, but I lost momentum after practicing to the intermediate knight squire. Later, I switched to witchcraft and succeeded. I was really lucky."

"You are too modest. Look, this isn't a good place to talk. How about we go to the pub in front and have a drink?"

"That's exactly what I meant to do, but I'll still be the one to treat you. I didn't have the chance to thank you before, so I want to get to know you better this time."

One wanted to make friends and the other wanted to compliment each other, so naturally they quickly reached a consensus, found a pub up ahead, and started a pleasant chat.

After learning about the situation, Colin understood Hedram's current situation. Although he joined the Masonic Order, due to the special nature of the Victoria Islands, he did not have any acquaintances here. Although the benefits were issued on time and the tasks were not difficult for him, there was no preferential treatment at all. It was even more distant to be promoted to the second level. The points accumulated over the years were not enough to exchange for promotion resources.

Since Colin wanted to make friends with Hedram, he had to solve some problems for him. He mentioned that he was good friends with the knight Edward and promised to help introduce him to him. After he said this, Hedram began to thank Colin.

After Colin and Hedram were humble to each other, they finally recognized each other a lot. They agreed to get together again when they had the chance, and then left the pub separately.
