The Witcher: Son of the Planes
Chapter 306: Encounter with Hedram
The Victoria Islands are not far from the Grimman Islands. At Charles' current flying speed, it will take less than two months to fly there.
After jumping off Charles' back, Colin landed steadily outside the Grimman Academy. The area outside the academy is becoming more and more prosperous, and there is a trend of developing from a big town to a small town. After all, Lord Grimman is different. He is now one of the four-level wizards in the wizarding world and a major force in the south of the world. Who doesn't want to do business here?
There are shops from the Emerald Island here, but Colin didn't go in. After Helen followed him to Megwen, the shops here have been handed over to the management of the Emerald Island. Only the shop in the Megwen area still belongs to Colin's Villiers family.
Colin didn't enter the academy immediately. According to the timeline for reporting, there is still more than half a month, and Colin is not in a hurry. It's better for the two friends in the academy to meet up for a drink in the evening.
Walking on the neat streets, Colin was also observing the big town outside the academy. As for the Emerald Island, it was not so large. First, due to the limited area, except for the castle area, which was considered a city, other places were at most a medium-sized town. Second, the strength was not enough, and the strength to attract mobile personnel was very small.
In addition to the shops of some large forces here, the shops on the Griman Islands are mostly shops of various small and medium forces within the archipelago. In addition to buying and selling goods, they should also shoulder the task of gathering intelligence. After all, the Griman Islands is a big force in the south, and every move involves too much. Who doesn't want to know the news first?
Just as Colin was unconsciously strolling in the town, he suddenly found a person coming from the opposite side. He was very familiar. After thinking about it, he remembered that it turned out to be the admiral of the Fifth Fleet of the Auckland Port of the former Principality of Denton, Hedram Bergs.
When Colin was still a slave, Hedram Bergstong had attacked Jack, a famous pirate in the former Rio Sea, and destroyed countless large and small pirate ships. He was considered one of the few promising generals in the Denton Navy. However, since Colin came to Grimman College to study, he had not seen him again. I don't know how he met him here.
Colin subconsciously asked the Earth Star to test him, and soon got Hedram Bergstong's physical data. It was obvious that he had exceeded the basic attributes of a first-level knight, but had not reached the second level. It was obvious that he was taking the knight route.
When Colin was looking at Hedram Bergstong, Hedram also immediately sensed the other party's gaze. The other party should be a wizard, and the momentum he felt was stronger than his own, perhaps a first-level peak wizard or a stronger second-level wizard.
Although it was rude to stare at others on the street, Hedram didn't dare to say anything. After being promoted to a formal knight in these years, his temper has been smoothed a lot. He is no longer the admiral of the navy who wanted to intervene in any injustice he saw. Now he deeply feels the crushing of strength. If you are stronger than you, you have to bow your head.
Hedram served in the Denton Navy in his early years. Later, he saw through the corruption of the navy. Among the five fleets, only the one he led was dedicated to his job. The other four fleets were hiding and making money as much as possible. Although he wanted to give some benefits to his brothers, because he was relatively upright and the income was limited, some brothers gradually complained.
Later, Hedram gave up and resigned. After resigning, his strength improved rapidly. At the age of 55, he was officially promoted to a first-level knight. After the promotion, he also considered whether to join the Victoria Islands Magician Council, but after repeated consideration, there was still the shadow of the three principalities here, so he gave up.
After a short trip on the mainland, he returned to the Grimman Islands and was recruited by the Masonic Knights under the Grimman Academy and officially joined the Masonic Knights.
Speaking of which, he still belongs to the same organization as the Knights of Edward, but usually Edward will stay in the Megwen area to accompany the wizard Jaina unless there is a mission in the group. Hedram has only seen Knight Edward three or five times in the past hundred years.
This time, Hedram was strolling on the street. He had just returned from a plane garrison mission. He was strolling around casually to see if there were any items of interest. Unexpectedly, he met the wizard on the opposite side.
Although he didn't know why the wizard on the opposite side was staring at him, he still vaguely felt a sense of familiarity from the appearance of the wizard on the opposite side. He didn't know when he had seen the other party in the past years, but he really couldn't remember clearly.
...
Colin saw Hedram getting closer and closer to him, and he had an idea in his mind. After all, from past experience, although Hedram was fighting pirates out of duty, he also indirectly saved him. It would be good to get to know him formally. Besides, every person who can be promoted to the first level is "connections and resources", and Colin doesn't want to miss it.
"Hello, Admiral Hedram." Colin took two steps forward to greet him.
"Oh? This wizard, do you know me?" Hedram answered without neglecting.
"My name is Colin, from Emerald Island (although Colin was originally born in Xishan Village, Hongmulin Town, more than a hundred years have passed, and Colin has always claimed to be from Emerald Island.), more than a hundred years ago, I was a slave on the Batto ship. Thanks to your rescue, I have grown up to this day. Thank you very much."
After hearing Colin's words, Hedram felt relieved. It turned out that he had not offended the other party, nor was he seeking revenge. This was easy.
"Hello, Wizard Colin. I was just doing my duty at the beginning. It's nothing. Your talent is really extraordinary. You have been promoted to the second level in just a hundred years?"
"Well, I was promoted not long ago more than ten years ago. It was just a fluke. At the beginning, I also yearned for the knight profession, but I was exhausted after practicing to the intermediate knight attendant. Later, I switched to witchcraft and succeeded. I was really lucky."
"You are too modest. You see, this is not a place to talk. How about we go to the tavern in front for a drink?"
"That's what I meant, but I'll treat you. I didn't have the chance to thank you at the beginning. This time I want to get to know you better."
One wanted to make friends and the other wanted to compliment. Naturally, they quickly reached a consensus and found a tavern in front to have a pleasant chat.
After understanding, Colin understood Hedram's current situation. Although he joined the Freemasonry, he didn't have any acquaintances here because of the special nature of the Victoria Islands. Although the treatment and other things were issued on time, and he didn't have any difficulties in terms of tasks, there was no preferential treatment at all. It was even more distant to be promoted to the second level. The points accumulated over the years were not enough to exchange for promotion resources.
Since Colin wanted to make friends with Hedram, he had to solve some problems for him. He mentioned that he was good friends with the knight Edward and promised to help introduce him. After this, Hedram began to thank Colin.
After Colin and Hedram were humble to each other, they finally recognized each other a lot. After agreeing to meet again, they left the tavern separately.
