The Witcher: Son of the Planes

There are many entrances to the underground world, some are relatively fixed for a long time, some appear temporarily, and some disappear temporarily.

This time, Colin did not go around Barna Town to enter the underground world. There is an entrance less than a day's journey outside the Griman Academy. This entrance is also a common passage for people from the underground world to trade at the Griman Academy.

Because of the long-term stability, the passage here has been transformed very thoroughly. Not only has the passage been further widened, but many places on the road inside have been paved with long stones, and there are light sources everywhere on the walls on both sides, all of which show traces of artificial transformation.

Of course, on Griman Island, not far from the academy, the only one who has the ability to build these is the Holy Tower behind the academy. The connection between the surface world and the underground world is convenient for not only individuals and certain forces.

The biggest beneficiary is the Griman Academy. After years of development near the entrance, it has become a place similar to a market town. There are not many shops in the market town, because it is very close to the academy. With kung fu, who would complain about the distance and not be able to buy things in the market outside the academy?

However, some basic supplies are still available, and regular services such as accommodation are also provided. However, the most profitable is the carriage and horse business between the market town and the college.

Based on the principle of whoever builds it will benefit, the ownership of all shops in the market town belongs to the Gliman College, and the tolls at the entrance and exit are also collected by people sent by the Gliman College. Although only one wizard coin is collected each time, if you know that there are at least hundreds of people passing through every day, you will not underestimate this fee.

In addition, there is the only carriage and horse business between the market town and the college. Yes, you guessed it, it is an exclusive business, and it belongs to the Gliman College. Not only does it occupy a wide area, but the number of carriages and horses can reach thousands. The one-way fee is also a wizard coin, or it can be paid with equivalent items.

Who is Colin? He may be far inferior to a formal wizard, but among a group of wizard apprentices, his financial strength is definitely that of a rich man.

Although running a few steps by himself can not only save money, but may not take a day, Colin, who is "not short of money", still chose to take a car, um, the Larron Horn Carriage.

After arriving at the market town, Colin did not stay for long. He immediately paid a wizard coin and entered the passage.

There were many people coming and going in the passage. There was a resting place similar to a "service area" every fifty kilometers. However, Colin, a mid-level knight attendant, had decent physical fitness. He did not stop and just walked all the way down.

...

One day later, Colin stood on the first floor of the underground world. If he took a detour to Barna Town, he might not need to spend money, but his time would definitely be wasted several times more.

At the entrance of the first floor of the underground world, it was actually built into a village, but both in terms of scale and area, it was much worse than the surface world. From here, it can be seen that the builders here are not as strong as the Griman Academy.

Fortunately, there is no checkpoint here, and no one charges, but after seeing Colin coming down, he looked emotional, and soon many underground humans surrounded him.

"Hi, hello, is this your first time here? Do you need a guide?"

"I've been here for more than ten years, and I'm definitely the best guide. Where do you want to go, you can't go wrong by choosing me."

"Forget it, don't believe him, be careful not to take you to some black-hearted store and trick you into buying local specialties."

"Choose me, I have five years of experience as a guide, and I'm familiar with the ground on the first floor. Where do you want to go, sir?"

"Choose me..."

"Choose me..."

"Shut up, everyone shut up." Colin, who was annoyed, shouted and released his aura as a quasi-level wizard apprentice.

Everyone felt a cold wind blowing around them, as if they were being stared at by something, and they couldn't help but step back several steps.

Colin had a headache, and didn't know who to choose. He was here to buy the heart of an underground bat, or to learn about the haunts of underground bats.

After looking for a long time, Colin suddenly found a hooded man not far away, who was somewhat out of tune with the people around him. Okay, it's you.

"Hey, that guy over there, come here." Colin pointed at the hooded man and said.

Hearing Colin calling him, the man walked towards Colin.

As he walked over, the people around him spontaneously left Colin, and some even turned around and left.

Colin was still a little confused about why, but when the man came closer, he saw that he was an underground elf.

"Are you a guide too?" Colin asked.

"Yes."

"How much do you charge?"

"One wizard coin every two days."

"Hiss, so expensive?" Colin hesitated.

"It's expensive for a reason. I can not only be your guide, but also your bodyguard. As long as you hire me, you will have less trouble."

Hearing this, Colin immediately became concerned. After all, no one wants to cause trouble.

"Okay, it's you."

Seeing that Colin and the man had signed a contract, the people around them dispersed and went to surround others again.

"To facilitate communication, please tell me your name. Oh, by the way, my name is Colin."

"Akona."

"Akona, I want to buy some things. Where is the nearest town?"

"Well, along the current road, about three kilometers away, there is a small town - Samoa City."

"Okay, let's go."

As a guide, Akona naturally took the lead. At this time, she had taken off her hood, and her long hair was casually draped behind her head. The longbow and quiver on her back showed her combat skills. Oh, and the long sword on her waist showed that she could fight in close combat or from a distance.

Colin didn't know how strong she was, but she was confident enough to recommend her as a bodyguard just now, so she must be no less powerful than a high-level knight's attendant.

Except for her relatively short height, her figure and appearance were still exotic, but the biggest shortcoming was her skin color.

Oh, it seems that I thought too much. What others are like is none of my business.

…

The three-kilometer journey was very short. With the strength of the two, they arrived at Samoa City in less than half an hour.

Samoa City was considered a border city in the underground world. Although the overall scale was relatively small, it had all kinds of functional shops and services.

Colin came to buy things, not to make other purchases. Although the "exotic ladies" on the roadside were all good, Colin was not tempted at all.

Well, I'm not that kind of person.

Soon, Colin and Akona arrived at a larger shop. Seeing the various items and materials displayed in the display cabinet, Colin felt that there was a chance.

However, after asking the shop owner, the owner told Colin that underground bats seemed to be easy to encounter, but they were generally of little value, so no one specifically went to catch that kind of creature, not to mention that they were social creatures, and ordinary people really couldn't catch them at will.

After Colin expressed his willingness to pay for consulting the haunts of underground bats, the shop owner still shook his head and said he didn't know, and didn't say anything more.

Colin thought the boss was deliberately refusing, and was a little unhappy. Akona took the initiative to ask the boss again, and the boss finally patiently explained a few words.

It turns out that underground bats like dark and humid caves. Although the underground world is like a big cave, if you really want to find underground bats, hey, it's really not easy. These little things, when you don't look for it, you can occasionally see a lot of them, but if you really look for them, you can't find them.

Colin was a little speechless. This underground bat was not a powerful monster. If you encountered it, it would not be difficult to kill it. But you couldn't find it. What should you do?

Should you go back and go down to the first floor of Barna Town to find your old friends to think of a solution?
