The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Connie and the others had been waiting outside for a long time. Colin took a long time to come out. Those who understood understood. Marcus was still there making faces, so those who didn't understand also understood.

"He must have done something bad. I must talk to Helen about it when I get back," Connie thought to herself.

After coming out, Edith said hello to everyone and walked towards her teammates.

After waiting for about half a day, most of the apprentices from various forces had come out. After counting the number of people, it was found that more than 10 people were missing.

After confirmation by the wizard presiding over the scene, more than ten people should have died.

There was still a shadow in everyone's heart. Although they didn't know the specific reason, they thought there must be some human factors. It was impossible for them to encounter some irresistible monster.

Fortunately, all the members of Griman Academy came out.

Everyone handed in the resources they had collected, and they were summarized to the wizards leading their respective teams.

After final statistics, Griman Academy ranked eighth in the team competition.

After the team competition, Rodbell was eager to return to Gleeman College, as if he had made new progress in his research.

Colin and the others had wanted to stay in the floating city for some more time, but that was ruined. Colin never found a chance to see Edith, so he hurriedly boarded the airship on his way back, and only had time to pass on a message to Edith.

Oh, when can I take control of my own destiny?

Not to mention Colin's sigh, the journey back was faster than the journey here, probably because Master Wizard Rodbell was in a hurry. It only took him five and a half months to return to Griman College.

After more than a year, Colin was finally reunited with Helen and Nora.

That night, the three of them had a friendly competition in their residence outside the college. Unexpectedly, Helen had a dolphin voice. If she had been in her previous life, she would definitely have made her debut. Nora's small body could actually sing high notes, which really surprised Colin.

……

After that, they talked about their recent situation. Colin gave a brief account of the individual and team competitions, but after thinking about it, he decided to keep Edith's matter secret for the time being. As for whether Connie would tell Helen about this, Colin was not sure, but never mind, he would see what happened when the time came.

Helen's changes were significant. Her mental strength broke through 12 points and she actually successfully advanced.

I just feel a little regretful because I missed this outing and couldn't accompany Colin.

"Even if he is promoted, his strength is probably at the bottom among the senior wizard apprentices. Besides, if he really accompanies me out, Edith's matter might cause some trouble." Colin thought.

There is also Nora, who met the minimum requirements for an intermediate wizard apprentice a year ago, but never advanced. When Colin came back this time, he found that Nora had also advanced.

As for Rose, she had been promoted to junior apprentice before Colin and the others left, and had recently mastered several new spells.

Colin was very happy to hear that the three girls had made progress.

However, because of Edith's matter, Colin was more eager to become a formal wizard.

A few days after returning to the academy, the rewards came. Colin, Don Quixote and Ace obtained the resources to be promoted to first-level wizards, and each of the eight participants received 500 academy merit points.

A few days later, Colin heard that Connie and others had a new mentor, a formal mentor.

He was a little anxious. Was his performance so bad? Didn't he get the resources to advance? Didn't any of his mentors think highly of him?

That afternoon, Mentor Lina's pet, Boggs, came to see Colin.

"Colin, come and greet the great Lord Boggs. Lord Boggs has brought you good news."

Outside Colin's residence, Colin met Boggs, a fire crow. He had met Boggs before when he followed Lina to an open class, but this was the first time they had a formal conversation.

"Hello, Boggs."

"You should call me Master Boggs, you unreasonable boy."

"Well, Master Boggs, what can I do for you?" Colin asked.

"Master Lina asked you to meet her on the seventy-third floor of the holy tower early tomorrow morning." After saying that, Boggs stretched out his front paws and waited for Colin.

Colin was waiting for Boggs to say something, but he stopped talking.

Seeing that Colin didn't behave for a long time, Boggs was a little unhappy, "Hey, do you know the rules?"

Seeing that Colin was still in a daze, Helen understood and quickly took out 10 wizard coins from her pocket and handed them to Boggs's claws.

"Well, you woman are better at handling things." After saying that, Boggs flew away.

"Ah, is this a bribe demanded by a magical pet? I..." Colin said helplessly to Helen.

"You're making the mistake of empiricism. Why don't you just treat Boggs as a human being?"

"Oh, oh, I feel more balanced if I think this way."

……

Early the next morning, Colin arrived at the gate of Griman Holy Tower.

The two gargoyles at the door stopped Colin, and when they saw that Colin didn't have any token, they said, "Password!"

Colin had neither the token nor the password, so he explained helplessly, "Teacher Lina notified me to come here."

One of the gargoyles had a look in his eyes, as if he had communicated something. "Passage is granted!"

As soon as I entered the first floor of the holy tower, I saw Boggs flying over.

This time Colin was more thoughtful and immediately gave Boggs a few wizard coins. "Thank you for your hard work, Master Boggs."

Boggs thought this trip was in vain, but he didn't expect that this boy Colin had made such progress in just one night.

"Good, good, Master Boggs has high hopes for you. Come on, follow me."

As he said this, he flew forward first.

Soon, Colin followed Boggs to the 73rd floor, the door of Professor Lina's laboratory.

"Be careful. Don't touch anything after you go in. Be careful not to let unspeakable things happen." Boggs reminded Colin for the sake of the friendship of those wizard coins.

"Okay, thank you again Master Boggs."

Boggs took Colin into Lina's laboratory.

There were bottles and jars everywhere, and some containers contained specimens of unknown creatures. Right in front was a laboratory table where Professor Lina was busy with some experiment. There were also a lot of messy things on the ground, and Colin didn't know where to step for a moment.

"Now that you're in, find a place to sit and wait for me." Teacher Lina said without turning her head.

Seeing that Colin had come in, Boggs didn't delay any longer and took the opportunity to slip out.

"Hey..." Colin wanted to call out to Boggs, but he didn't expect that Boggs would leave before he could finish his words.

After waiting for about an hour, Lina finally turned around and looked at Colin without saying a word.

Looking at the deep eyes of Teacher Lina, Colin felt dizzy and his head started to feel dizzy, as if he was about to be pulled out by something.

The Earth kept issuing “warning, warning” reminders, and Colin quickly closed his eyes. However, the vision did not disappear. For a moment, Colin felt that his soul no longer belonged to himself.

Fortunately, Teacher Lina's voice was heard soon and the vision finally disappeared.

"Do you know why I called you here?"
