The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

The Mercenary Union's headquarters is located in the leisure and entertainment district of the imperial capital, with branches spread across major cities.

After a night's rest, Colin left his residence early and came to the Mercenary Union. Looking at the people coming in and out of the union, as well as the major mercenary groups recruiting people around the union, Colin did not delay for long and quickly entered the Mercenary Union Hall.

There is a huge screen in the hall, which scrolls and displays the recent unfinished tasks. Completed tasks and tasks that have been accepted by others will not be displayed.

Looking at this huge screen, Colin had a sense of immediate technology. Perhaps this was the application technique of magic.

Shaking his head, Colin quickly found the reception desk. The girl at the reception desk handed Colin a form that simply recorded Colin's birthplace, strength, skills, etc. After paying a Nomisma, Colin successfully registered as a free mercenary.

Colin was a newbie as a mercenary and needed to follow others for a while before he could join a mercenary group. With the help of the girl at the reception desk, Colin looked through some of the mercenary groups that were recruiting.

Such as the Gale Mercenaries, Giant Wave Mercenaries, Blue Shield Mercenaries, Leo Brotherhood, Free Knights Mercenaries, Karad Squad, Giant Serpent Mercenaries, Hawkeye Mercenaries, Glory Brotherhood, Spiritual Light and so on.

Seeing that many mercenary groups had more than a thousand people, Colin gave up directly. He thought that it would not help him train and grow if he went. Finally, after screening, only the Karad team and the Spiritual Light had the smallest number of people, only a dozen or so.

After meeting with the leaders of the two mercenary groups respectively, he found out that the Karad team was a mercenary group established mainly on a regional basis. Many people in the team were from the Karad area. After much consideration, he finally chose the Spiritual Light Mercenary Group.

The Spiritual Light Mercenary Group only has 13 people including Colin. After joining, I found that I was deceived.

This mercenary group is actually composed entirely of students from the Imperial Capital Royal Academy. Only the leader Conrad is a third-year student, and most of the others are second-year students. Their strengths are even more uneven. Conrad is a mid-level knight squire, and the others range from mid-level to low-level. There is also a last-place one, Connie, a first-year trainee magician apprentice.

However, after knowing the relationship between Conrad and Connie, I understood it immediately. Nepotism is always present, so understanding is the key.

After meeting the members of the mercenary group, they exchanged contact addresses. Colin went home, and they would naturally call him the next time they went on a mission.

……

"Is everything going well, brother?" Nora asked with concern when she saw Colin coming back.

"Hey, don't mention it. I said I didn't understand, so I found a skilled mercenary group, but I found out that they were not much better than me. They probably only organized one or two activities. But coincidentally, they were all students in the same college as Helen."

"Can't you change it?"

"No, at least we have to complete a mission together."

"Be sure to pay attention to safety. You can go to the shopping area to buy some medicine or something in advance."

Two days after Colin bought some recovery potions, he received a notice from the Light of Spirituality, asking him to gather at the Mercenary Guild the next morning.

……

"You're here, Brother Colin." Captain Conrad greeted with a smile.

"Captain."

"Well, wait for the others, they'll be here soon."

"Okay, Captain, what is our main mission this time?" Colin asked.

"It's not a dangerous mission. We just need to go to the Dharavi Forest west of the imperial capital to collect a magical plant."

"Well, does such a simple task require such a fuss? It can be completed by one person, right?" Colin thought to himself that he had received a big task, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

Seeing Colin's expression, Conrad seemed to have guessed what Colin was thinking and said, "This is not a very simple task. Large and medium-sized mercenary groups would not be interested in such a small commission. A lone mercenary may not be able to complete this task. Magical plants are not just growing there for you to collect. You need to search for them, and you may also encounter some magical beasts along the way."

There are monsters so close to the imperial capital?

The powerful monsters will definitely not be cleared out. The Imperial Capital Academy will not clear out the low- and medium-level monsters in order to train the students' practical skills.

As they were talking, the other team members arrived.

Following Conrad, Colin and the others began to head towards the Dharavi Forest.

During the journey, Conrad reiterated the mission, which required collecting 20 blood-replenishing herbs, and arranged for Sean, a low-level knight squire, to serve as a scout, with Colin cooperating.

Seeing Colin's skilled investigation skills, Sean was a little surprised. "Have you learned it?"

Colin nodded and said nothing more.

The Dharavi Forest is quite large and is home to many kinds of magical beasts, but no aggressive ones have been encountered so far. When the animals saw this small group of humans, they began to hide away consciously.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, Sean and Colin heard some noises. Following the direction of the noises, they could vaguely sense some creature approaching. He waved his hand back, and the people behind him became alert.

Soon, they discovered that it was a group of wild wolves, there were more than 30 of them. The leader was bigger than the other wolves and his fur seemed smoother.

Colin drew out the spear from behind, ready to attack at any time. Sean also clenched the iron sword in his hand. Several magician apprentices behind him were already preparing magic.

Almost at the same time when Colin and the others were ready, the wild wolves launched an attack. It was unclear whether these creatures were a hybrid of Warcraft and ordinary beasts, but their bodies were extremely flexible.

The knights had already engaged in close combat with the wolves, and the magicians began to release single-target spells. Since they were all less than level one, they all released zero-level spells. Some released fireballs at the wolves, some released entanglements, as well as ground spikes, water arrows, and so on.

Wild wolves are just ordinary beasts. Even if they have a trace of Warcraft blood, without any skills, they are no match for the mercenaries.

The battle situation was basically one-sided, and only the wild wolf leader could fight with Colin and the others for a few more rounds.

After losing more than 20 companions, the wolf leader no longer insisted and led the remaining wolves to retreat.

The wild wolf was not of much value, and only its fur could be sold for some money. Soon the knights used the knives they carried with them to cut open the wolf's head, and peeled off 21 wolf skins from top to bottom cleanly. After the magicians performed the cleaning spell, they collected them.

The roasted wolf meat was a little sour, but after adding some seasonings, it was barely edible. Everyone was a little tired after the fight, so after a simple meal, they continued to move deeper into the forest.
