The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 123 Going to the North

It has been more than three months since the last gathering. Colin has been in good condition. His first-level wizard realm has been completely stabilized, and he has also learned the flying technique that he has always wanted.

Originally, Colin planned to wait for half a year before setting off, but after his realm was stabilized, Colin could not sit still. He was very worried because he could not contact Edith for a long time. If there was any accident, he also hoped to get accurate news. The trip to the north should also be put on the agenda.

On a beautiful night, when Helen just went up to the clouds, Colin told her about his past with Edith.

Helen was so comfortable that she vaguely heard what Colin said, as if it was a woman.

After calming down, Helen glanced at Colin. She wanted to complain about Colin, but she changed her mind when she was about to say something: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to say anything about you. I had some doubts when you came back from the college competition last time, so I let you take Connie. I didn't expect you to have another one. As long as your body can bear it, I don't want to say anything more about you. But if you are not good to us, Nora and I will stay away and never see you again."

"No, absolutely not, you have to believe in my character." Colin hugged Helen and promised.

"So, you are going to the North this time, are you going to find her?" Helen is not a stupid woman, but she has always trusted Colin, so she didn't think too much. Now that Colin confessed, she understood everything.

"Yes, I couldn't contact Edith not long after I came back from the last college competition. I was a little worried. I didn't know what happened to her, but she was always busy and busy with promotion, so I couldn't leave. Now that I've been promoted, I want to go over and take a look."

"Well, after all, she's yours. You have to pay attention to safety and bring sister Edith back safely." Regardless of age, she is always the eldest wife, and the status must be clear, Helen finally said.

"...I will. After I leave, you guys must also practice seriously and do experiments moderately. After promotion, you have more time to do experiments. If you don't advance, doing more experiments will be in vain. I still hope you can accompany me all the way."

Seeing that Colin really cared about her as much as before, Helen took the initiative to hug Colin.

...

A week later, Colin said goodbye to everyone and set off on the road to the North.

Because of his promotion to a first-level wizard, Colin was finally qualified to take the airship alone. Of course, his magic pet Charles was also able to accompany him this time.

With the help of the airship, even if it is flying from the South China Sea to the Northland, it will not take too long, just over a year.

Colin's journey was very fast. He passed the Emerald Island and the Victoria Islands in a few days. However, he planned to stop again when he came back. This time, he just passed by in a flash. During this time, he changed to an airship at Anrut Port.

There were not many formal wizards on the ship. After nodding, everyone did not have much interest in talking and went back to their rooms. As for the apprentices, there were too many of them. After the promotion, Colin had distanced himself from them and had no intention of paying attention to the discussion topics of the apprentices on the ship.

As they got closer and closer to the Northland, the sky gradually showed a lead-gray tone, as if it was also covered by thick ice and snow. The light was not much dim, but the illumination of the stars had weakened a lot, and the ground was also snowy. As they continued to go north, the snow on the ground was more like a transition from a summer quilt to a thick quilt, and it kept thickening. The plants were even more sparse. There were still some snowflakes floating in the sky from time to time. The undulating mountains in the distance were more like a barrier, separating the Northland from the main wizard continent.

After several stops, there were very few passengers on the ship. When it arrived at the northern border city of Spar, there were only two people on the ship besides Colin.

After arriving here, the airship would not continue to go north. On the one hand, the sphere of influence of the northern witches did not allow the airship to enter deeper areas, and on the other hand, there were other means of transportation in the local area.

Spar, a northern border city, is located at the southernmost tip of the Northland. It is considered a transit station between the Northland and the main continent. Compared with other cities on the mainland, it is much smaller, but there are more than a million people living there all year round, and there are all kinds of shops with various functions.

After getting off the ship, Colin contacted Edith again, but there was still no news.

In desperation, Colin could only settle down in Spar City temporarily and search patiently.

The best source of information is still the tavern. After Colin rented a hotel and settled down, he listened to the introduction of the hotel owner and came to the largest tavern in Spar City-Derwei Tavern, which is also a distribution center for various news.

Being able to find a cheap and good tavern in this snowy city and drink a glass of rum with a high degree to drive away the biting cold on the body is a kind of enjoyment for these professionals.

The main professions of the wizard continent must be wizards and knights, but there are also other professionals, but it is really rare to be promoted to level one, and most of them are helpless choices in the apprentice stage.

However, in the North, in addition to other professionals, there is also a special profession in the North, the ice warrior, which is a combination of the magic system and the physical side, a variant of the magic swordsman, but the spell is a single ice spell.

After Colin entered the Dewei Tavern, he found a remote corner and sat down. Under the inquiry of the tavern girl, Colin did not have too many choices, so he prepared to try the high-proof rum here.

His intention was not to drink, but to get some information.

Under Colin's deliberate restraint, he was more like a lone ranger who came to the North to make a living, and did not attract the attention of everyone in the tavern.

"Have you heard? Recently, those crazy women in the north have done even more extreme things. They don't allow male professionals to enter to collect snow lotus and silver needle fruit. How can they survive in the future?"

"Keep your voice down. This tavern is also their sphere of influence. Are you going to die?"

"What are you afraid of? Without resources, you will starve to death sooner or later. They dare to do it and let people say nothing."

"Don't say it. In the North, the witches' words are orders. We can't afford to offend them. I'm going to the main continent to find opportunities recently. I believe that with our strength, we won't starve to death no matter what we do."

"Huh? There is a little discrimination against men here?" Colin listened for a long time and felt the "characteristics" of the North.

Colin sat for a while and listened to other people's conversations. They were all some bullshit and useless. Colin was ready to go back to the hotel first.

In the following days, Colin reported to the tavern every day, ordered a glass of strong rum, sat in the corner, and listened quietly to the gossip of these professionals. There was always some new information entering Colin's ears, and gradually he had a better understanding of the forces in the North.
