The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Helen had taken a pharmacy course, but the magic materials in the Victoria Islands and the wizarding world were different. She needed to re-recognize these materials and identify and memorize their medicinal properties.

After spending 20 merit points, Helen added a new pharmacy course in addition to the daily public classes.

The course is only a beginner course, mainly about the common plants in the wizarding world and the uses of some magical beasts' organs. At the end of the course, there are two beginner formulas, which can be regarded as a benefit for students from the academy. One is the formula for the beginner mental potion, and the other is the formula for the beginner physical potion.

But having a formula does not necessarily mean that the potion can be prepared. It is necessary to continue to try, experiment, and practice.

After successfully refining, it is necessary to continue to study the details. A higher success rate can ensure that there is no loss of money.

Helen is undoubtedly smart and knows what is mainstream. Although the formula of mental potion can also be learned in the Victoria Islands, some materials may only be available in the Victoria Islands and are not very applicable.

Because she was determined to come to Grimman Island, her family's expectations, and her fantasy about the future, Helen knew that she had to make a difference on the road of wizards.

Why did her partner frequently accept tasks? Didn't he want to study in the course with peace of mind? No, he wanted to, too.

But the current situation allowed her to study alone. The family would probably send a batch of potions in half a year, but she couldn't delay for half a year.

…

"Connie, you're here." Colin, who got up early today and waited outside the task hall, greeted.

"Well, you're here early."

"No, I just came a while ago, let's go in together."

Browsing the familiar task screen and looking at the scrolling tasks, these are temporarily unaccepted.

"Hey, the task of investigating the missing slaves in the Barna Mine." Colin found this task.

"How about this?"

"Try it." Connie replied.

Soon the three of them accepted the task of investigating the missing slaves.

To be honest, I found out after I received the call that the location of the mine was a bit far away. It was outside Barna Town, and it would take about ten days to get there from the academy. However, seeing the 100 merit points reward displayed, it was not a loss.

I left a message to Helen saying that I would be out for a while, and Helen replied to pay attention to safety.

Colin and Connie rushed to Barna Town.

…

Ten days later, the dusty Colin and his three companions arrived at Barna Town. After meeting Baron Resta, the mayor of Barna and the person in charge of the mine, they learned that a group of wizard apprentices had come to the mine some time ago, but they returned after finding nothing, and obviously did not find the reason.

After dozens of slaves disappeared in succession, the Barna Mine also stopped mining operations. It was also because of the failure of the first exploration that the task of 50 merit points was increased to 100 points.

Colin and his three companions looked at each other and felt a little tricky. They were not much better than others, but they had come here, so they had to try anyway.

Baron Resta received Colin and his two companions and prepared to explore the mine the next morning.

The next morning, under the forced drawing of lots by Baron Resta, a slave was appointed as a guide to lead Colin and his two companions to explore the mine.

...

The leading slave was called Billy. He said he was from a small world called Palo Star. He didn't know when his home planet was enslaved by the wizard world, but he was born in the wizard world. Because he had no special combat power, he could only mine.

Thinking of this, Colin was also chilled. Fortunately, the Victoria Islands were integrated into the wizard world. If they were enslaved, wouldn't it be worse than when he first arrived in the Victoria Small World?

The mine outside the town of Barna mainly produces mithril. There are more than 500 slaves in the mine, and more than 4,500 tons of mithril can be produced every month, most of which must be handed over to the Griman Wizard Academy.

As a producer, ha, only a few dozen tons can be left, but even so, Baron Resta is very happy. However, he has been worried about the failure to complete the task for a month.

The wizard apprentice did not find anything last time, so he arranged the slaves to go down the mine again, but then the slaves disappeared again, and he had to continue to issue the exploration task.

Billy took the torch and led Colin and the other two to go deeper into the mine. The faint firelight illuminated the road ahead. The mine was quiet, and occasionally there was a whirring sound like the wind entering the mine.

The four people walked slowly, Colin had already grasped the iron gun, and Connie and Conrad were ready to release spells at any time.

...

"This is it. There are traces of the blood of the missing slaves here. The mines here are easier to collect. We also have a task. We need to collect 300 kilograms every day. If we fail to complete it, we will not give food." Billy said.

Colin and the other two observed and found nothing unusual, but this was an intersection. In addition to the direction they came from, there were three other directions that they didn't know where to go.

"Where do these three directions lead to?" Conrad asked.

"I've only been here. I haven't been to the other three directions. Those missing people should have been there before." Billy replied.

"What should we do? Should we go separately? Or should we explore in one direction first?" Colin asked Connie and her brother.

"I think it's better to go together. After all, if we encounter danger, more people will have more strength, even if it takes a little more time, it's better than being unable to deal with danger." Connie analyzed.

Colin and Conrad looked at each other and realized that there was really no better way, so they followed Connie's idea and found the road on the left and started moving forward.

Billy had no say, so he had to hold the torch and continue walking in front.

The road ahead was rugged and uneven, with many bends, uphill and downhill, and some sections of the road were still a little flooded, but the road was still peaceful and there was nothing special. Connie recorded everything she saw and learned on the road.

Soon, the four of them reached the end, which turned out to be a "dead end". After observing it for a while, they found nothing and had no choice but to return.

The return was much faster, and it took less time than the way there, and the four of them returned to the intersection.

"How do we go?" Looking at the remaining two roads, Colin asked.

"Let's go one by one, we have to complete this exploration anyway." Conrad said.

The four of them started walking towards the middle road. The middle road was longer and more winding than the left road. They also encountered a few scorpions and rats, but it was nothing to Colin and the other four. Billy could kill these small animals easily.

After walking through the middle road without any danger and without any discovery, the four of them returned to the intersection again.

"It seems that the right road is the only one left. If the problem is not here, we will have run for nothing." Colin said.
