The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Nora was reluctant to let Colin go out to participate in the competition when she knew that he was going out. Although Colin had been away on missions before, the time was usually not long. This time it was obviously measured in years.

Nora had never been away from Colin for so long, and Helen had always lived with Colin in college and had become accustomed to his presence. Colin's absence this time made the two girls very uncomfortable.

In order to compensate for the coming pain of missing him, the two girls agreed to many of Colin's shameful requests, allowing Colin to feel the happiness he had not felt in years in the past month.

During this period, while enjoying happiness, Colin did not stop learning. After comprehensive consideration, Colin learned a new skill to increase movement speed, which is a physical skill called Shadow Step, a bit like the Qinggong in his previous life.

After mastering it, Colin felt that his burst speed had increased by 50%, and he might be able to give someone an unexpected blow.

At this point, Colin could no longer improve anything in the short term. After purchasing some necessary medicines and other supplies, he just waited for the official departure day to arrive.

……

It is a nice day with sunny weather.

The open space outside Griman College was filled with teachers, students and onlookers.

Colin, Connie, Marcus and eight other people finally arrived at the day of their official departure. The team was led by the second-level wizard Lord Rodbell, and accompanied by Colin and Helen's mentors Jaina and Lina and three other wizards.

The airship in the sky has enough energy and is just waiting for Rodbell's order.

Under the gaze of everyone, Colin and others were brought onto the airship by Rodbell.

Soon, the airship started moving and headed towards the Wizard Continent.

After boarding the ship, the divisions were arranged according to the principle of the wizard masters on one level and the participating senior wizard apprentices on another level.

Although there were many rooms on this floor, Colin, Connie and Marcus still found three adjacent rooms.

I looked at the other five people and saw that they all casually found an empty room. They didn't sit next to each other on purpose, but they didn't seem to be too far away from each other either.

After they found their own rooms, they did not stay in the rooms, but came to the deck and looked at the scenery along the way. None of them had any experience of high-altitude flying, so riding on the airship gave them a great high-altitude experience.

Although Colin had lived in a developed world in his previous life, he had never experienced flying on an airplane. He had only watched a lot of movies.

This time when we were driving in the sky, the speed felt very fast. It is hard to estimate exactly how fast it was in Mach, but I think it was no less than the speed of sound.

Given the speed of the airship, it would take more than half a year to reach the center of the continent. No wonder they had to set off ten months in advance.

In the previous life, it would only take six or seven days to fly around the equator at the speed of sound. But it takes more than half a year to fly from Griman Island to the center of the continent. The diameter of the plane of this wizard continent is probably as large as 200 Earths?

Although Colin was mentally prepared before boarding the ship, he was still impressed by the vastness of the wizarding continent.

The airship does not have an enclosed environment like the airplanes in the previous life, but the outer surface of the ship is covered with a layer of energy shield to protect against strong winds and some harmful rays from the outside.

Looking down from the sky, the Gliman Islands are like sparkling pearls inlaid in the deep blue sea, and they are as shining as diamonds in the starry sky. Gliman Island is undoubtedly the brightest one.

A month later, the airship passed by the Victoria Islands. Compared with the size of the Grimm Islands, it was like the difference between a coin and a basketball. If the operator on the ship hadn't explained it, Colin and others would not have noticed the tiny "coin".

Three months later, the airship arrived at the southern coast of the Wizarding Continent. From afar, they could see the coastline appearing in Colin and his friends' sight like a long jade belt.

The airship stayed in Anrut, the largest port on the south coast, for a week, not because the airship had run out of energy, but because the wizards on the ship were tired and wanted to rest for a few days.

Colin and others were allowed to disembark for a day, but were required to return to the ship at night. If they were delayed due to something, the wizards would not be responsible for the consequences.

It has come to this point, and everyone wants to try their best to fight for the resources for promotion. No one wants anything to go wrong, so they just got off the boat, took a quick walk around the area, looked at the culture and customs of Port Anrut, and then returned to the boat.

A week passed quickly, and the airship took off again and set off on its journey.

It was hard to see the deep blue sea on the rest of the way. We passed many lakes, mountains, and forests, but there were more human cities.

During this time, they also encountered other airships. Some of them, like Colin and his team, were from other forces flying to the competition venue in the center of the continent, and some might be carrying out some missions.

Seven months later, Colin and others successfully arrived at their destination - the floating city.

Although they had crossed half of the wizarding plane, Colin and the others were in a hurry and had no idea about the places they passed along the way. They only knew from the literal meaning of the places they passed.

Because Merlin is the number one in the wizarding world, the venue for this league was set in the sky - the floating city.

The floating city is not just a city in the literal sense, but a demiplane, a floating island that is no less important than the Victoria Islands.

This continental league is the first in nearly a hundred years, and it aims to further stimulate the endogenous motivation of the official wizard seeds.

After arriving at the floating city, the wizards who had been there to receive them assigned Colin and his friends accommodation.

Afterwards, Colin and others followed Wizard Rodbell to the residence of the Griman Islands Alliance.

There are still three or four months before the official start of the continental league, and Wizard Rodbell did not force everyone to stay in their residence every day.

However, you are still asked not to go out alone while you are away, and not to cause trouble before officially participating in the competition, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and affect your competition results.

After giving these instructions and appointing Wizard Lina as the tactical instructor for these eight little guys, he started to conduct witchcraft experiments.

I wonder if I will be more indifferent than them if I become an official wizard one day.

Wizard Lina is Colin's mentor, the kind that performs mandatory tasks in the academy, not a real teacher, but she still has some impression of Colin.

Lina then instructed everyone to say hello to Colin before going out, and then went to buy some experimental materials.

Colin was speechless when he saw the "irresponsibility" of Wizard Rodbell and Mentor Lina.

Perhaps the pursuit of knowledge and truth is the foundation of a wizard. Other things may not be important in the eyes of a wizard, as long as the task is completed.

Colin looked at everyone and saw that they had no plans to go out for the time being. They all planned to rest for a night and think about it tomorrow.
