The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Ten days later, Colin and his companions returned to the academy. Including the time spent going up and down the mine, the round trip took 25 days.

Wow, I spent five days in the mine without realizing it.

After completing the task and explaining the situation, I gained 20 more merit points.

Of course, Colin and the other two were smart enough not to mention the mithril and chalcopyrite ore.

Each person received 40 merit points, 5 tons of mithril and 30 tons of brass.

……

Colin missed Helen very much after not seeing her for nearly a month.

Helen was also very happy to see Colin return safely.

Didn't we say that? A short absence is better than a new marriage.

Seeing Helen's furious eyes, Colin also became angry, and the two of them quickly moved from the ground to the bed while hugging each other.

Negative distance contact is indeed a good remedy to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

Not to mention the tossing and turning all night, Helen was almost late for class the next day.

Mithril and brass are also useful magical materials that can be used to forge magic wands as well as weapons.

After discussing with Helen last night, Colin's iron spear can be replaced with a greatsword made of mithril and brass that is more suitable for his current strength.

Colin hadn't taken care of himself for a long time and was a little unclear about his own condition.

After calling Earth, Colin learned about his latest data.

Colin, male, 21 years old, mid-level knight squire and part-time low-level wizard apprentice; Strength 16.1, Agility 15.2, Constitution 13.5, Mental Strength 8.3, Lucky? .

Various physical indicators have increased slightly, but the increase in strength is too small. It is probably because he can't continue on the path of a knight. Fortunately, Colin still insists on exercising every day.

However, the attribute of luck has never been seen, maybe because the data collected by Earth is incomplete.

Colin left the academy, looked at Nora and the others, and then went to look for the blacksmith shop.

After paying a fee of 10 wizard coins, he left 1 ton of mithril ore and 20 tons of brass ore, and agreed to pick up the adamantine greatsword in a month.

Because of the underground mission, Colin and the other two were a little tired and planned to rest for a few days. They then agreed to go on another mission three days later.

Colin, who had nothing to do for the time being, casually wandered around the apprentices' stalls.

He looked around, listened to the apprentices' bargaining, and constantly enriched his knowledge, but he didn't buy anything, he just wanted to stroll around.

After wandering around for a long time, Colin returned to his residence.

"Now that you're back, what did you gain today?" Helen asked.

"Nothing, just to broaden my horizons. How about you, how are your studies going recently?"

"I have figured out the formula for the primary mental power potion, and I also know the specific dosage. Once our potion is delivered, we can buy the raw materials for refining."

"Yes, I went out to meet Nora and Rose today. They hang out outside the academy all day and have done a lot of research on the market outside. I think they should be able to make some money by opening a store in the future and selling Victoria Islands specialties."

"It will be soon. Uncle Matthew and his team will probably be here in three or four months."

"Well, learning is really not easy. No matter where you go, knowledge is the most expensive. This time when I went out, I found that even the caveman leader understood the wizard language. We also bought the wizard language proficiency to learn it. Everything costs money here." Colin sighed.

Helen has successfully transferred to a mid-level wizard apprentice. In fact, she can live in the mid-level wizard apprentice area, but in order to accommodate Colin, she has been living in the low-level wizard apprentice area.

Apart from the difference in status of where they lived, there was not much other difference. Helen didn't care about it and would only consider moving in together after Colin was promoted.

"Don't be too anxious. If you really can't do it, you should stay at home recently and take some open classes to make up for your knowledge gaps. Although you can see my notes, the feeling is very different when you listen to the teachers' lectures." Feeling that her lover was a little tired, Helen advised sincerely.

Looking at Helen's concerned eyes, Colin felt relieved.

Although his union with Helen was like a story, and not as gradual as his union with Nora, no matter whether it was due to beauty or family influence, today Helen has become an inseparable member of Colin's family.

Colin can't live off his savings, nor can he waste three or four months. Without strong financial support, he can only rely on hard work. However, he doesn't want to take on any mission that is too dangerous for the time being.

"Or, you can choose a mentor first. With a mentor teaching you, your strength will increase quickly." Colin said after roughly estimating the merit points of the two.

Helen has been busy learning elementary mental potions these days and has not asked about any tutors, nor does she know which tutors are suitable.

However, after hearing her lover's words and understanding his feelings, Helen still rejected Colin.

"We are still young, it will only take three or four months. Besides, I haven't finished studying for the public courses and pharmacy yet, so there is no rush."

Colin was touched and hugged Helen tightly.

……

Three days later, at the entrance of the mission hall, Colin met Connie and her brother again.

"Come on, Colin," Connie greeted.

"Yeah, I just arrived too. By the way, Connie, have you chosen a mentor?" Colin asked.

Connie, who made a small fortune a few days ago, should have enough merit points to get 100.

"Not yet. I originally had enough merit points. My brother told me to choose a mentor to learn from first. But I think after completing the mission for a while, my brother's merit points should be enough. It's better for us to study together." Connie replied.

"What about you? You're almost there now, right? Why don't you find a mentor?" Connie asked.

"I also want to study with Helen, and now I only have enough tuition for one person," Colin explained.

"Let's go, stop chatting and go in to choose the mission first. We have plenty of time on the way." Conrad said.

Soon, the three of them chose a task to collect five harpy feathers from a large number of tasks.

Soon, I got the mission scroll.

The harpies live in a wide range of areas. They can be found in woods, valleys, and many other places. However, the closest place to the academy is the wetland swamp, where it should be easier to find the harpies' nests.

Creatures like harpies have a strong sense of territory. Individual strength is not that strong, but they usually live in groups, with a number of 5 to 10. They are somewhat aggressive and prefer human-like male creatures. After capturing them, they will often mate with them and then kill them. As for female creatures, they will be killed on the spot.

"I think we need to buy some bows and arrows. After all, this thing can fly, but we can't," said Colin.

"Let's go," Conrad said.

Colin and the other two quickly bought some bows and arrows.

Because of his previous experience, Colin has good archery skills.

With many years of mercenary experience, Conrad and Connie are no novices either.

The three men, carrying quivers on their backs, set out on their mission again towards the wetland swamp.
