The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

The smooth acceptance of the Shadow World undoubtedly made Colin's strength grow again. Although he had used some dishonorable means before, Colin did not regret it.

When you are weak, everything is wrong, and when you are strong, whatever you do is right.

Since he was suddenly promoted to level three, he had thought about settling down for a while before considering other things, but things came one after another, forcing Colin to run around and struggle.

After returning from the shadow world with his family this time, Colin decided that he must calm down for a while no matter what.

As for the law enforcement team, although there are still two deputy captains in the Victoria Islands, after Colin was promoted to level three, various small actions have become more covert. Of course, they have the support of Griman College, so Colin will not be too "excessive". He has basically handed over the affairs here to Knight Locke.

Family affairs were even simpler. Over the years, he often went out to participate in plane wars. Helen and other girls had become accustomed to his absence, and even when he was not around, they managed everything in order.

The Emerald Academy, with the support of its old friend Marcus, has been growing steadily over the years, and some graduated students have joined Colin's Wizard Tower one after another.

Colin did not confess his relationship with his teacher Lina to the girls because of Lina, and Lina didn't seem to care too much about it. After the tour of the phantom world, he returned to the Mogwen area.

It has been a while since Colin discovered the phantom world. He always passed by in a hurry and left after eating. Now that he has been promoted to level three, it is time to go for a walk further away.

……

Phantom plane.

Colin once again "crossed over" from the wizarding world. The presence of his spirit made Colin's figure seem a little unreal, but this was a common problem for all those who came to this plane.

There are two more coordinates recorded in the Alien Space. One is not far from the outer periphery of the existence he visited last time, and the other is located on the shore of the "Shadow Sea", which is convenient for him to capture shadow creatures. (The last one is newly set in the Chaos Star Sea in the Dalavini area)

This time, Colin did not disturb the villagers' thoughts, and he could not get any useful information from them.

Colin flew towards the distance in the direction described by the villagers. Considering that he wanted to see the "new place", Colin did not eat and drink enough in advance this time. Instead, he simply caught a phantom deer and ate it, and then stopped eating.

It is somewhat similar to the scenes in the material world. Although it is a fictional world, it is a concrete product of people's thinking. Although it seems a bit bizarre, it can be more or less connected with many scenes in the real world.

Colin was flying and enjoying the scenery along the way. Some of the special landforms had never been seen by Colin. They must have been constructed by the minds of people from certain dimensions.

Along the way, Colin also saw some professionals above level one, some traveling together, and some "drawing swords against each other", but Colin ignored them. He now had only one goal, to find a "city" and discover more mysteries of the phantom world.

The people below did not pay much attention to the strong man Colin who flew overhead. They just did what they were supposed to do. There were people from all dimensions here. If they did not provoke these strong men, they might not attack them.

Even if a strong person attacks, it is still very easy to retreat and escape, unless you are attacked by surprise.

After flying for about a month, Colin finally saw the outline of a city ahead. He landed on the ground in advance and mixed in with the crowd entering the city.

When it was almost Colin's turn in the queue to enter the city, Colin discovered that entering the city was not free, but required the payment of a kind of phantom coin, or the crystals of phantom creatures as the fee for entering the city.

Colin didn't have any phantom coins, but he collected a few crystals of phantom creatures along the way. After paying one, Colin entered the city smoothly.

If I didn't tell you that this is a virtual world, you would feel that it is no different from the cities in the material world. There are the same bustling crowds of people, and the shops along the streets sell various products from the virtual plane.

It was while strolling around the city that Colin learned that the city he was in was called Aries City. There were eleven similar cities in the entire virtual world, distributed at varying distances throughout the virtual world.

No one knows who built the twelve cities, but judging from Colin's current strength, even with his current mental power of more than 140 points, he cannot materialize such a city. A demigod is not sure, but Colin feels it is not enough. Perhaps it is only possible when the strength reaches that of Master Merlin.

It is said that the current lords of Aries City are three demigod-level warriors. Due to the fact that spirits cannot stay in this plane for long, the three warriors usually appear in turns, and it is difficult for the people in the city to see them at the same time.

There are a lot of people coming in and out of Aries City every day, and each person has to pay a virtual coin (virtual crystal core) every time they come. This kind of income is amazing, because with Colin's current condition, he only needs 30 coins to eat a full meal, which is the appetite of a third-level strong man.

The Lord of Aries City owns this city, and it is more than enough for him to guard it every day without going out to hunt any phantom creatures. It is just unclear how they operate this matter. The most important thing is how to bring the phantom crystal core to the material plane.

It costs a lot to enter the city, but once you are inside, there is no limit to how long you are willing to stay, because everyone understands that even if you are allowed to stay, you can't stay for long, because the spirit cannot leave the original body for too long.

But there is also an advantage. As long as you don't leave Aries City, you will still be in your current location next time you come.

But there is also an advantage. If you don’t have any source of virtual coins, you can’t stay in the city. This requires you to either sell some virtual specialties like the shops in the city, or go out hunting.

As long as you leave the city and come in again, then just pay another Shadow Coin.

Some people may ask, if this is the case, and we don’t have enough for ourselves, why bother going back and forth into the city and wasting money?

First, there are some things that everyone needs in the city. Second, staying in the city is relatively safe. It is not allowed to attack anyone at will in the city. If there are any disputes, you can report to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion will handle it impartially.

Through the agency of a store (many stores in the city have this business), Colin rented a place to live for only one Void Coin.

Isn’t it a bit cheap?

As mentioned before, it is a bit similar to the situation of going offline and online in a game.

In fact, it is not cheap at all. The lease period is until you leave. When you come back again, you will need to rent a new place, and your original place may have been rented out.

Colin had a good idea but immediately gave it up.

If he uses the teleportation and positioning function of the alternate dimension, he can easily enter and exit the city, but this requires two recording points. He doesn't want to give up the one on the Phantom Sea, and the one on the village is okay, but it is not enough.

There might be a special opportunity at that recording point in the Chaos Star Sea in the future, and Colin was not going to give up, so he had to give up this idea.
