The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chapter 60 Academy Mission 3

Early the next morning, Helen hurried to the college to learn the content of the open class.

Colin staggered to the mission hall.

Siblings Connie and Conrad have been waiting for a while.

"Sorry, I'm late." Colin said a little embarrassedly when he saw Connie and her siblings had arrived.

"It's okay, choose a mission." Connie said.

The three of them browsed the task information scrolling in the hall.

After much deliberation, I finally chose a task to collect 50 red-eyed raven eyeballs.

Colin was also speechless. He was in conflict with these crows.

"What's wrong?" Connie asked.

"Nothing, let's go."

Red-eyed ravens can be found wherever red raspberries are distributed in the forest. They are not difficult to find.

However, since Colin had the advantage of completing the mission last time, he led the way to the last mission location.

Soon, the three of them arrived near the place where Colin collected red raspberry fruits last time.

"Don't go any further. If you go any further they will find you."

Look at the group of ravens in front of them, there are dozens of them, which is enough to complete the task. However, it is impossible for the three of them to kill these ravens head-on.

The three of them discussed for a long time and decided that Colin would attract the ravens' attention first, while Connie and her siblings would kill the lone raven from behind. If the raven turned around and chased Connie and her siblings, Colin would return to kill the raven behind.

It's a simple kite-flying tactic.

Soon, the three of them took action.

The red-eyed raven on sentry duty noticed Colin's provocation and took the lead in chasing after him. The other ravens that were pecking at the red raspberries stopped eating and followed suit.

But there were always some who were slow to react and stayed behind, and were killed one by one by Connie and her siblings.

The red-eyed ravens did not let Colin and the other two fly kites as easily as they wished.

Instead, they split into two groups, each chasing Colin and the other two.

After going around in circles for a long time, Colin and the other two finally got rid of the raven.

Looking at the five red eyeballs in Connie's hand, only one-tenth of the task was completed. It seemed that this tactic was not working.

The three of them met again in the bushes not far away and discussed new tactics.

"This won't work. It's too time-consuming. If we follow this method, it will probably take us five days. The few merit points given are not worth it at all." Conrad said.

Colin and Connie were also thinking about this problem. Was there any better way?

"Colin, do you think these ravens are afraid of anesthetics?" Connie asked.

"Hmm? That's a good idea. You guys take care of it first, I'll go back and buy some."

After saying that, Colin returned to the academy to buy potions.

……

Two hours later, Colin returned to the bushes where Connie and the others were hiding.

The three of them then developed a new strategy.

Conrad was asked to attract the attention of the red-eyed ravens. After leading the ravens away, Connie and Colin applied anesthetic on the red raspberry fruits.

"Please walk around for a while, we can't finish it all at once." Colin said.

Conrad said nothing and began to execute the tactics he had just used.

Soon, the flock of red-eyed ravens flew away.

Colin and Connie began to apply paralyzing potion on the red raspberry fruit. After finishing, the two hid again.

Soon, the group of red-eyed ravens were seen flying back again.

Some of the ravens were already pecking at the raspberries, and Colin and Connie watched quietly, waiting for them to "fall to the ground."

Because they were close, Colin could smell a faint fragrance. He sniffed and thought, "It's Connie's smell."

Not long after, Conrad also rushed over.

At this time, they found that some ravens had begun to lose their balance and fell from the branches to the ground.

The strange vision of these companions immediately attracted the attention of the Raven Sentinels, but after observing for a long time, the sentinels could not see anything unusual.

Those who ate more slowly also began to be affected by the paralyzing potion and fell down one after another.

"It's done."

Seeing that there were only a few raven sentinels, Colin and the other two rushed forward.

Soon, the ravens were killed.

The three began to kill the fallen red-eyed ravens one by one.

Although some ravens with strong resistance managed to hold on for a few times, they could not fly steadily and were easily killed by the three men. The other ravens that fell to the ground were like lambs to be slaughtered and were easily killed by the three men.

"call"

The three people who completed the task sat on the ground to rest for a while, and then began to dig out the eyeballs of the ravens.

After collecting them all, I counted them and found there were 76 red eyeballs.

"Connie, you are so smart. Thanks to you this time." Colin praised.

"It was just a whim, so I wanted to give it a try."

"It's a good thing we succeeded, otherwise we would have to spend five days here fighting these ravens, which would be too tiring."

"Let's go. We still have some left this time, which is good," Conrad said.

……

The three returned to the academy.

After completing the task, I made a net profit of 12 merit points, and sold the extra red eyeballs to a material shop in exchange for 8 wizard coins.

After deducting the 2 merit points Colin earned from purchasing the paralysis potion, each person received 6 merit points.

"Ha, this academy is really evil. It would be better to just kill them and sell them here." Colin said.

"It's different. Although it seems that the exchange rate between wizard coins and merit points is one to one, merit points are more popular within the academy. Merit points can be exchanged for knowledge within the academy, while wizard coins still need to be exchanged for merit points."

"Besides, our achievements must be recorded. The cumulative number of academy tasks you have completed will be useful in the future. This is different from directly exchanging wizard coins for merit points." Connie explained.

"Does the college value the contributions students make to the college more?" Colin wondered.

"How many merit points have you accumulated these days?" Colin asked.

"Our total number is almost 100. If that's enough, we can consider finding a mentor for Connie," Conrad said.

"With 100 merit points, can I find a mentor?" Colin asked.

"Well, it's a benefit for the freshmen. The tutors are all wizards with strong financial resources. Who cares about these 100 merit points? However, the academy has mandatory tasks, and the tutors have to accept some students as appropriate." Connie said.

"Do you have a favorite mentor?" Colin asked.

"I haven't had the chance to inquire about it yet. The tutors all have different personalities. Some are easy to get along with, some are weird, and some even have special hobbies." Connie was a little afraid when she said this.

Soon, he and Helen received a sum of wizard coins. Colin was not worried about not being able to find a teacher, but after hearing what Connie said, Colin realized that a mentor with a normal personality was what he and Helen needed.

After parting with Connie and her siblings, Colin returned to his residence and talked to Helen about choosing a mentor.

"I'm mainly focusing on completing missions these days. Helen, ask others about which instructors are more normal and easy to get along with. I don't want to be transformed into a monster anytime soon."

After hearing what Colin said, Helen felt very sad and decided to find out more about it in the next few days.
