The Witcher: Son of the Planes

No one spoke that night. The next morning, the butler Samir sent the latest information about the Willisel resource point.

Colin read it carefully. This is where he will stay for the next few years. He can't be careless.

It turns out that there was no Willisel Town before. This area is rich in moonlight grass, which is the main material of many medicines, especially the production of therapeutic medicines.

The ancestors of the Heaton family were on good terms with the Teton family and the Akali family. The three families jointly developed this place. Due to the needs of production, the number of people continued to increase, and with the flow of people coming and going, it gradually developed into a village, and then developed into a town.

Seeing that it was profitable, many merchants in the city of Megwen opened shops in Willisel Town, and then slowly formed the current scale of the town.

It is precisely because of this that Willisel Town is not controlled by the Heaton family alone, but is jointly owned by the Heaton family, the Teton family and the Akali family.

Colin patted his head and was a little speechless. This is not nonsense. After so many years of family, they have not completely occupied an area. Whether it is purchased or exchanged later, can't we get a chassis? If we have to mix with other families, how good will it be?

Don't say how good the relationship between the ancestors is. Now the descendants are in charge of the family. Who doesn't want to seek more benefits for their family? Aren't the ancestors of the three families leaving troubles for the descendants?

However, the task has been taken over, and the necessary information has been obtained. Colin will not delay anything and will soon take Edith to the town of Willisel.

...

A month later, Colin and Edith arrived in the town of Willisel.

Laurie, who had already received the news, was waiting on the main road leading to the town early. Not to mention that Colin came to help, Colin's strength was worth it.

"You are Master Colin, the wizard, I am Laurie, the wizard apprentice stationed in Willisel of the Heaton family."

"Well, you have worked hard. Tell me if there is any new situation?" Colin and Laurie said as they walked.

"Not yet. Maybe the Teton family and the Akali family have also heard that you are coming. Before they know your strength, there should be no movement."

"Are there any powerful people in their family?"

"The guardian wizard of the Teton family is Jacob, a first-level earth wizard, but he usually does not take action. Usually, the apprentice Henry is in charge of collecting resources."

Speaking of this, Laurie paused, and seeing that Colin was still waiting for him to continue, he continued:

"The guardian wizard of the Akali family is Nick, a first-level fire wizard, but the apprentice Lisian is usually in charge of them."

"If the guardian wizards of the two families had not taken action, I would have been unable to hold on." Then, Laurie continued.

"Well, I understand it in general. Let's go back to the base first." Colin ordered.

Before arriving at the station, Colin thought that the station of a town must be simple and just for living. However, after arriving, he found that he still underestimated the Heaton family. After all, a family with hundreds of years of history cannot have such a small foundation.

Not to mention the various arrangements in the manor, the area alone is several times larger than his residence on Grimman Island, not to mention the five-story wizard tower that Colin saw when he entered the manor just now, and this is just the residence of a wizard apprentice.

Laurie arranged a lunch in advance, so that Colin and Edith, who did not eat well during the trip, could enjoy a good meal.

Afterwards, Laurie presented the Heaton family's personnel settings and financial information booklets in Willisel Town.

"Hiss, I didn't know until I saw it, I was shocked. There are really a lot of people, money and things." Colin was secretly shocked.

The main people, property and materials of the Heaton family in Willisel include:

1 quasi-level wizard apprentice (Laurie), 5 senior apprentices, 30 middle and low-level apprentices, 10 senior knight attendants, 50 middle and low-level knight attendants, more than 300 ordinary laborers, and 30 maids.

There are 2,000 wizard coins, 100,000 gold coins, and more than 1,000 moonlight grass in the warehouse.

One-third of the land in the town also belongs to the Heaton family, and the rent alone can earn 10,000 gold coins every year.

In addition to people, property and materials, Colin's biggest task in guarding here is to ensure the safe production of moonlight grass. Every season, 1,500 moonlight grasses need to be provided to the Heaton family.

According to the previous output, 700 moonlight grasses can be collected every month. In addition to the 500 plants handed in on average, the rest can be said to be the benefits of the guarding wizards and the professionals below. Of course, the bulk of the money is definitely for the guarding wizards.

Because of the wizards who have guarded the town in recent years, the moonlight grass collection share of the Heaton family has been continuously eroded by the other two families. Now they can only collect less than 400 plants per month, and it is obvious that they can't even complete the family's task.

Colin didn't care much about the earth and fire wizards of the two families. He just found an opportunity to compete with them. As long as the difference is not too big, he should be able to complete the task of guarding.

However, the collection share of the moonlight grass must be fought back. This is related to Colin's income. This must not be given up. Besides, if even the basic tasks cannot be completed, how can we be worthy of the cultivation of Teacher Lina.

As for the situation of other wizards in the town, Colin also needs to understand clearly. After all, unlike the two families with names and surnames, there will be no major danger. These wizards who travel through the border are likely to leave after doing a job. This is what Colin needs to pay attention to and consider.

Seeing Colin looking at the information booklet without saying anything, Laurie thought Colin had some doubts about the moonlight grass and the reserves of personnel and property.

He said carefully: "Master Colin, do you have any questions?"

Colin glanced at Laurie and said: "No, I have two orders for you. First, arrange for someone to send an invitation to the guarding wizards of the Teton family and the Akali family, saying that I invite them to visit our manor in three days; second, send more people to closely monitor the movements of other wizards in the town."

"Other wizards? What do you mean, sir?" Laurie thought Colin didn't understand the focus of the task.

"Hmm? Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, go down and arrange it." Colin ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"I was really careless. I wonder if it will leave a bad impression on Master Colin?" Laurie thought annoyed.

He touched the cold sweat on his head and retreated. Although he had joined the Heaton family for many years, the gap in strength could not be made up by this. Why did he lose his mind just now and dare to question the decision of the adults?

Before the evening, Colin received Lowry's report.

Colin's invitations were quickly sent to the Teton family and the Akali family. Wizard Jacob and Wizard Nick both said they would attend Colin's banquet on time.

As for the wizards in the town, there were not many, only one, and Lowry got the detailed information without much effort.

Seeing that Lowry completed the task he asked quickly, Colin was also very satisfied. The big family was indeed different and very efficient.
