The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 142 Money is a good thing

It will take some time for the production of moongrass to increase, and Colin can't wait. Even if the monthly increase is 300, it will only be close to 20,000 wizard coins in one year. In two years, it will be less than 70,000 wizard coins. There is a shortfall of 30,000.

Besides, Colin has plans to go back in the near future. It will definitely take less than a year for Edith to consolidate her realm. This will make the gap even bigger. Money is needed. Men can’t do it without money. This is universal no matter in which world. reason.

The next day, Colin received a report from Laurie that he had purchased 300 slaves from the town's slave merchants and expected to arrive in Willisier in one month.

Another month of production has to be wasted.

"Laurie, is there a new wizard in town?"

"The wizards who attended the exchange meeting with you last time have left here, but it seems that there was another passing wizard who stayed at the hotel in the town yesterday."

"Does it have any characteristics?"

"How should I put it? People passing by seemed unwilling to get close to him anyway. He was wearing a black wizard robe and a hood. His face couldn't be seen clearly, but he had an eerie feeling. He shouldn't be an elemental wizard. He was practicing specifically. It’s unclear what the rules are.”

"Oh, he looks like a wizard who practices the Law of Darkness or the Law of Death."

"I feel a bit like what you're talking about."

"Okay, you go down and do your work."

"Okay, Master Colin." Laurie finally learned his lesson and didn't care about Colin's thoughts. He just asked and said whatever he wanted.

"Do you want to vote?" Colin thought hesitantly. As a wizard who grew up as a slave, he has long been used to life and death. He has a moral bottom line, but it can no longer restrain his behavior.

After the evening's routine entertainment, Colin put his arms around Edith and asked, "How has your realm been consolidated?"

"It's still a little short. What, are you in a hurry to leave?" Edith also knew her lover's plan, and thought Colin was anxious to go back.

"We're not leaving just yet. We have to wait a few months anyway. I'm asking you this because I want to know how your spell mastery is going. Is there any new progress?"

"There is no problem with the natal spell. I mastered that spell when I was promoted. These days, apart from upgrading the freezing ray to the ice ray, there is nothing else. The other spells need to be further mastered."

"In terms of mental strength, do you still feel comfortable with it?"

Colin has used the Earth Star to test Edith, and the mental power data obtained is 23.5, which has exceeded the 22 points when most wizards are promoted. Overall, Edith's qualifications are good.

"Well, I feel stable. What's the reason for asking?"

"As you know, Helen helped Connie buy the elf bloodline with a loan, but she needs to repay more than 70,000 wizard coins within two years. Judging from our current income, there is still a gap."

"Well, you go on," Edith said.

"So, I think..." After saying that, Colin made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Do you have a goal?" Edith was not stupid, and instantly understood her lover's thoughts.

"Not before, but Laurie said that a wizard who seemed to practice the law of death came to town yesterday."

"To determine the target, we have to hit it with one blow. If we let the opponent escape, it will bring us a lot of trouble. We can't guard against others hiding in the dark. If we report it to the law enforcement team for investigation, we will be arrested. Defined as a dark wizard."

"I know the risks involved, so I'm just asking you about your situation. Your defense is fine. Coupled with my attack power, if you sneak up on him and hit the ice ray, I feel that there is a high probability that he will not be able to dodge it."

"It would be troublesome if Jacob and Nick in town knew about it."

"We can't let them know. Even if they guess it afterwards, we will deny it to death."

"Well, what are you going to do?"

"The wizard should have come from Mogwen City and passed by our Willisle. I don't know where the next stop will be, but we can focus on it in the past few days. We can do it after we leave the town. And we must Fight quickly and avoid prying eyes from the wizards around you."

"Have you thought about the consequences if you fail?" Edith asked still a little worried.

"Think about it, there is an old saying in my hometown, 'A horse will not grow fat without night, and a man will not get rich without a windfall.' Be careful and you should be fine."

"Don't do this kind of thing too much. If you do it too much, there will inevitably be omissions, which will cause big trouble." Edith was a little afraid that Colin would completely slip into the path of a dark wizard after getting a taste of the sweetness.

"No, I still have the bottom line. After all, we live under the light of the stars, and a little darkness will eventually pass."

Colin and Edith's plan is not clear to the Parkinson wizard who lives in the tavern in the small town of Willisle.

He is a wizard who practices the law of death. Although he is not explicitly prohibited by the mainland, once he is found to have caused a lot of harm to human beings, he will definitely be classified as a dark wizard.

The law he practices involves dealing with dead bodies. Sometimes he secretly makes props such as puppet summons. All of these require the use of suitable raw materials. What if there is not just the right one? Of course he started with living people.

Fortunately, he has not been discovered by the law enforcement team for so many years, and he has been promoted to the first level wizard. He is not willing to take refuge in one force easily. No matter which force provides the resources, they are not enough for him to practice.

Of course, he was unwilling to go to the Dalavini area where a large number of black wizards gathered. He considered himself a white wizard and his humanity had not been extinguished. He had always wanted to slowly turn to the practice of dark laws, so that no matter how he went in the future, his path would be much wider.

He passed through Willisel this time because he wanted to go to a more remote small town. There were more wizards in big places, and the chance of being discovered was greater. His experiment had reached a critical juncture and he urgently needed a batch of human samples, so he had to leave the city of Megwen, which was rich in raw materials.

Willisel was just a small town he passed by on this trip. He had heard that this was a resource point for the three major families in Megwen City. He did not dare to do anything here, but just wanted to rest for a night and leave.

Colin, who had an idea in mind, could not wait to take Edith and rush to the dense forest half a day away from Willisel before dawn on the second day.

"This is the only way to leave Willisel. If the wizard wants to leave, he will definitely pass through here. If we still can't see him by noon, we will go back home and come back tomorrow." Colin said firmly.

"What if someone else passes by here?" Edith looked worried.

"If someone else happens to pass by, it can only be blamed on his bad luck." Colin answered cruelly. In this matter, no one else should know.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Edith's inner feelings still defeated reason.

"So, if that guy really shows up, don't act rashly for the time being. Just prepare to cast a spell in secret, and when the time is right, launch a sneak attack immediately. There is no need to pay attention to morality."

"I understand. I'm not a rookie either. You should be more careful yourself." Edith replied.

Then, Colin and Edith hid separately. In less than half an hour, Wizard Parkinson walked towards their hiding place alone.
