The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Because the whole journey belonged to the Huiyao Empire, Helen and Colin did not encounter any danger. Although they heard about some wars between small countries on the way, fortunately, they did not encounter them.

Three months later, Colin and Helen arrived at the imperial capital, Tarkingham, smoothly.

The opening time of the Imperial Capital Royal Academy lasts for about a month, which is convenient for students from all over the country to register.

Helen had successfully registered half a year ago, so she just needed to come and register.

After being assigned to the new dormitory, Helen and her friends began to look for a house in the Empire. There was no shortage of houses in the Empire, and they soon found a suitable one in an alley not far behind the Royal Academy. Although the price was not cheap, Helen's worth (gifted by Helen's grandfather Terry and uncle Joseph) was completely affordable.

Matthew was going back, and a small team of soldiers could be left to Helen, and Nora and Rose could not live in the academy.

As for Colin, his employment relationship with Helen has ended. However, both Matthew and Nora hope that Colin will continue to stay in the imperial capital and be employed by Helen for a long time. Nora does not want to be separated from Colin, and Matthew feels that after he leaves, there will be someone to protect the young lady, which can be regarded as an explanation to the baron.

Colin also hopes to stay in the imperial capital, on the one hand because of Nora, and on the other hand he also wants to gain knowledge and improve his strength here. After all, some of the materials and potions used are relatively easy to find in the imperial capital.

The two parties hit it off and soon reached a new cooperation agreement.

With the help of Matthew, Helen bought a group of servants. Colin was appointed as the new captain of the guard, leading the small team of soldiers to be responsible for the defense of Helen and the new mansion. Rose was appointed as the steward of the new mansion, and Nora was appointed as the financial officer.

After settling Helen's affairs, Matthew embarked on the return journey.

Although the academy has arranged dormitories for the students, it does not force them to live in the dormitories. It just provides a cheap place for students from far away. Helen is used to living with Nora.

A few days later, the academy officially opened.

…

There are two main branches in the Royal Academy, one is the magic branch and the other is the knight branch, which continuously trains low- and middle-level professionals for the empire.

Of course, the academy does not force students to join the empire, but after the senior year, they will start to divide into classes. Those who have signed an agreement with the empire, similar to commissioned students, will learn some new courses according to their actual situation, and directly join the imperial military or some other organizations after graduation.

Students who have not signed an agreement with the empire can apply for graduation as long as they reach the intermediate level or above after completing some open courses.

There are many courses to learn in the Magic Branch. The public courses alone include "magic origin, magic theory, use of magic props, common language of the continent, magic outline principle, etiquette, literature, painting, music, zoology, botany, pharmacy, geography, mathematics, logic, and spells and spell release courses."

There are also many courses to learn in the Knight Branch, mainly "combat skills, archery, fighting, weapon explanation and application, riding, actual combat, common language of the continent, etiquette, geography, mathematics, logic and other courses."

Seeing that there are so many courses to learn magic, Helen is also a little speechless. She thought that she only needed to learn magic spells and how to release them. But she came here to learn, and she couldn't back down like this. It would be so embarrassing to go back like this.

During this period of time, Colin and Helen gradually became familiar with each other. Helen didn't have too many aristocratic airs, and Colin didn't care much about aristocrats in his heart. His usual external performance was just a last resort.

Today is just the first day of school, and Colin, Nora and others can see that Helen is unhappy. Soon, the cute little Nora went up to talk to the lady.

After listening to the conversation between Helen and Nora, Colin was also fascinated by the courses offered by the Royal Academy, but he was not interested in those courses that had nothing to do with increasing strength. He was most interested in only one thing, how to become a first-level professional.

…

Helen studied magic courses in the academy step by step, and Colin wandered around the imperial capital when he had nothing to do. Through these days of hard work, Colin finally had a rough understanding of the empire and knew the location of each functional area.

In the shop area, there were a wide variety of goods, including various weapons, armor, various magic potions, Warcraft materials, and low-level magic books and breathing methods for sale.

In the slave area, slaves from various countries were seen, male, female, ordinary people, professionals, as long as you have money, you can buy anything.

In the living area, you can buy bulk grain, vegetables, meat and other supplies.

In the leisure and entertainment area, I saw many mercenary organizations recruiting people, and there were countless taverns and hotels, and of course, there were also some gold-spending caves that made people forget about their hometown.

It was not in vain, this was Colin's most intuitive feeling. If there was a chance, he would definitely go to the capitals of the Haoyue Empire and the Azure Empire to see, and they were not worse than here.

Colin, who had a superficial understanding of the empire, began to think about how to go in the future.

Knowledge must be learned and mastered for a long time, and strength is what I have always been committed to pursuing. As for status, it depends on the situation.

In the case of not being able to enter the academy to study, it seems that you can improve your strength faster by fighting continuously.

Based on this consideration, Colin thought about joining a mercenary organization, doing tasks with him, gaining knowledge, practicing combat skills, and getting some commissions.

That's it!

After Colin told Nora about his thoughts, Nora also expressed her support, but asked Colin to pay attention to safety.

After a long time together, Nora knew what path Colin was pursuing. She couldn't be a burden to her brother, so she could only find ways to help her brother from other aspects. Looking at the financial knowledge that Miss Helen asked her to learn recently, "Maybe making money is also a way?" Nora thought.

After listening to Nora's plan, Helen also agreed. After all, the imperial capital is not like the Emerald Island or the royal capital Uxu. It is really hard to get along without some strength. It is also good to join a mercenary organization to hone combat skills.

There is nothing about my own safety. I just go back and forth between the college and my residence every day. The security situation in the imperial capital is very good. Besides, the guards patrolling the imperial capital are also very responsible. There is no evil person who dares to commit crimes openly on the street. I believe nothing will happen.

With Nora's support and Helen's approval, Colin began to understand the situation of major mercenary organizations with confidence and prepare to work for the next choice.
