The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chapter 470: Colin "Using His Body as Bait"

A month after Colin left, conflict between the Bruch clan and the church occurred again.

It seems like a trivial matter. It originated from the fact that a member of the Bruch family developed a noble lady as the new descendant of the blood servant. There was nothing wrong with developing a noble lady.

But the problem is that this noble lady is the mother of a church knight. This is a bit embarrassing. We have finally settled the dispute, but why did you stinky bats target my mother?

Unable to bear the humiliation, the church knight once again took the initiative to retaliate, and then the church knight was killed, and the dispute broke out again.

After Colin left, Beit felt that the air of freedom was flowing towards him again. However, after a few days of comfort, he found that his uncle's control over the tribe members was declining.

In particular, the free-spirited style of some tribesmen has brought a lot of trouble to the family. As a result, the battle that had just been settled was staged again. Beit also understood why his uncle was so old but still refused to retreat and always cleaned up the mess for the tribesmen.

The conflict between the Bruch clan and the church intensified, and gradually the church came up with the idea of ​​teaching the Bruch clan a lesson. They organized a church army, marched out of the city of Kemia, and headed towards the Bruch Manor Castle.

After leaving the city of Kemia, our Colin headed south towards the city of Zelda, the capital of the Kingdom of Niklai.

They passed through several big cities along the way. Colin only stopped for a few days before setting off again.

Similar to the city of Kemia, in addition to the power of the church in every city, the power of the Dark Council is also not small.

Some cities are okay and can maintain superficial stability, but some cities are even worse than the city of Kimia. The public security in the city is non-existent, and the exchange of fire between the two sides is even more blatant and can be seen everywhere. It is just unclear how ordinary Twilight people living in such cities deal with it?

……

Zelda City.

After more than three months of travel, Colin finally arrived at the political, cultural and religious center of the Kingdom of Nicolai.

Here, Colin truly felt the stability and prosperity of a big city. The church was clearly in an advantageous position. Perhaps there was a Dark Council in some dark corner, but at least on the surface the council did not dare to confront the church head-on.

With the resume of Kempsang's "nephew" and a former employee of the coffee shop, Colin passed the identification at the city gate and was able to enter the royal capital with a legitimate identity.

After entering the royal capital, Colin was not in a hurry to find a job. Instead, he rented a place to live and settled down first. He needed to learn about the local customs and practices.

After a few days, Colin had understood that although the church was dominant in Zelda City and ruled the people's minds, some of the kingdom's nobles were actually vampires, and only the royal bloodline was pure. Even such a situation seemed complicated enough to Colin, and he didn't know how others maintained this balance.

Although the relationship between the upper and lower classes in the Twilight Plane is not as naked as the relationship between slave owners and slaves, as ordinary lower-class people, they still lack channels to obtain more information and their living circles are also very small, which makes it difficult for "commoners" like Colin to obtain more information.

As for the vampires, Colin does not have that bloodline, so naturally he cannot join them. He can pretend to be a black magician and consider joining the Dark Council, but the Dark Council is full of good and bad people, and Colin does not want to get involved in that muddy water.

The church requires devout faith. Although their "Lord" seems to have fallen, Colin has been in this plane for so long and has figured out one thing. The church has a divine artifact called the Scepter of Light, which is said to be the weapon that their "Lord" carried with him. After the "Lord" fell, part of his will was transferred to this artifact.

It is precisely because of the blessing of this artifact that the church's gift of divine power has not collapsed, and the church has been able to confront the vampires head-on without losing the upper hand.

The final choice is to join the royal family and have a more suitable identity.

In order to not expose his magic (witchcraft), Colin had to pick up his old skills as a knight and act as an ordinary knight. Fortunately, his physical data had increased significantly since he absorbed Sulden's dragon crystal, so it was not a big problem for him to pretend to be a knight.

But the problem now is that it is not so easy to join the official organization. Without anyone to recommend you, you can only be a soldier, which has no meaning for Colin at all.

When Colin was thinking about whether he should take the risk of using soul witchcraft to secretly control a certain noble and then use his identity to help Colin solve this problem, a familiar figure came into his sight.

When Colin was passing by a jewelry store, he noticed a familiar figure inside. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was Madame Bovary, the aristocratic lady he had met twice.

Before coming to the royal capital, Colin had never thought of having any interaction with her, nor had he thought of taking advantage of her. But at this moment, Colin wanted to "be lazy". If he could use Madame Bovary's relationship to infiltrate the kingdom's knight sequence, it would be a good opportunity.

Colin simply straightened his clothes, pushed open the door of the jewelry store and walked in.

Colin did not take the initiative to greet Bovary, but picked up a piece of exquisite jewelry and started asking questions.

After hearing Colin's voice, Bovary subconsciously turned his head to look.

"Hmm, this profile looks so familiar?" After putting down the jewelry he was appreciating, Bovary turned around and walked a few steps towards Colin.

Being closer, of course, I could see Colin’s “full picture” clearly.

"Hey, isn't this the handsome waiter from the city of Kimia? How did he get here?" Bovary couldn't figure it out.

"Is it you?" Since he had never asked Colin's name before, Bovary could only try to ask.

Colin came into the jewelry store originally for Bovary. When he saw Bovary asking, Colin pretended to turn around and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, it's you, madam."

Seeing that Colin also looked like he knew him, Bovary understood that he had not recognized the wrong person this time, but he just didn't know how the other party came to the capital.

"Are you also working in the capital now?" Bovary asked.

"No, ma'am. I just arrived in the capital and haven't found a job yet. I worked in a coffee shop for a while but found that it was not the life I wanted, so I resigned and came to the capital."

"Well, I didn't expect this young man to be so ambitious." Madame Bovary thought.

"And what are your plans?" continued Bovary.

"I have studied martial arts for a period of time, but without the status of a noble, it is difficult for me to join a regular knight order. I feel that if I can join the kingdom's knight order, it would be the greatest honor. If I can catch up with some opportunity, make some meritorious deeds, and be granted the status of knight by the royal family, it would be worth my life."

After hearing Colin's thoughts, Bovary felt that this young man was young, motivated and ambitious. Should he consider helping him?
