The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chapter 142 Money is a good thing

It will take some time to increase the production of moongrass, but Colin can't wait any longer. Even if it increases by 300 per month, it will only be nearly 2 wizard coins a year. After two years, there is still a gap of 7 to 3 wizard coins.

Besides, Colin plans to go back soon, and it will definitely take Edith less than a year to consolidate her realm, so the gap will be even bigger. He needs to make money. A man cannot do without money. This is a universal truth no matter which world he is in.

The next day, Colin received a report from Lowry that he had purchased 300 slaves from the slave traders in the town and expected them to arrive in Willisel within a month.

Another month's production is 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 another wizard who passed by stayed at the hotel in the town yesterday."

"Does it have any characteristics?"

"Well, people passing by don't seem to want to get close to him. He's wearing a black wizard robe and a hood, so I can't see his face, but he has a spooky vibe. He's probably not an elemental wizard, but I don't know what specific laws he practices."

"Oh, it looks like he's a wizard who practices the law of darkness or the law of death."

“I feel a bit like what you said.”

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

"Okay, Lord Colin." Laurie finally learned his lesson and no longer cared about Colin's thoughts. He just answered whatever Colin asked.

"Should I do it?" Colin thought hesitantly. As a wizard who grew up from a slave, he was accustomed to life and death. He had a moral bottom line, but it could no longer restrain his behavior.

After the evening's routine entertainment, Colin hugged Edith and asked, "How is your realm consolidation going?"

"There's still some left. What? Are you in a hurry to leave?" Edith knew her lover's plan and thought Colin was eager to go back.

"Don't leave yet. You have to wait at least a few months. I ask you this because I want to know how your magic is going. Is there any new progress?"

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

"As for your mental strength, do you feel you are adapting?"

Colin has used Earth to test Edith, and the mental power data obtained is 23.5, which is higher than the 22 points that most wizards reach when they are promoted. Overall, Edith's qualifications are still good.

"Well, I feel like I've stabilized. Is there anything you're asking?"

"You know, Helen helped Connie buy the elven bloodline with a loan, but she needs to pay back more than 7 wizard coins within two years. Judging from our current income, there is still a gap."

"Well, go on," said Edith.

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

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

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

"Once we have identified our target, we have to hit it with one strike. If we let it run away, it will cause us a lot of trouble. We can't defend ourselves against others hiding in the dark. If we report it to the law enforcement team for investigation, we will classify it as a dark wizard."

"I know the risks involved, which is why I asked about your situation. Your defense is fine, and with my attack power, if you sneak attack him with an ice ray, I think he will most likely not be able to dodge it."

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

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

"Well, what are you going to do?"

"That wizard should have come from the city of Morgwen and passed through our Willisel. I don't know where his next stop is, but we can focus on him in the next few days and take action after we leave the town. We must also make a quick decision and not attract the attention of the surrounding wizards."

"Have you thought about it? What will be the consequences if you fail?" Edith asked with some concern.

"Think it over. There's an old saying in my hometown: 'A horse won't grow fat without night grass, and a man won't become rich without unexpected wealth.' Be careful, and it should be fine."

"Don't do this kind of thing too often. If you do it too much, there will inevitably be omissions and it will cause big trouble." Edith was a little afraid that after Colin tasted the sweetness, he would completely slide onto the path of a dark wizard.

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

Parkinson, a wizard living in a tavern in the small town of Willisel, was not aware of Colin and Edith's plan.

He is a wizard who practices the Law of Death. Although he is not banned by the mainland, if he is found to have caused massive harm to humans, he will definitely be classified as a black wizard.

The law he cultivated inevitably involved dealing with dead bodies, and sometimes he would secretly make props such as puppet summons, which all required the use of suitable raw materials. What if there was no suitable one? Of course, he would start with the living.

Fortunately, he had not been discovered by the law enforcement team for all these years, and had been promoted to a first-level wizard through hard work. He was also unwilling to easily join any force, as no matter which force gave him resources, they were not enough for him to practice.

Of course, he was also unwilling to go to the Dalavini area where a large number of black wizards gathered. He considered himself to be a white wizard and his humanity had not been destroyed. He had always wanted to slowly turn to practicing the dark laws, so that no matter what path he took in the future, it 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 Muggwen where the raw materials were abundant.

Willisel was just a small town he passed through on his journey. He had heard that this was the resource center of the three major families in the city of Mogwen. He did not dare to make any moves here. He just wanted to rest for a night and then leave.

……

Colin, who had an idea in mind, could not wait to take Edith and rush to the dense forest half a day's journey away from Willisel before dawn the next 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 in a firm tone.

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

"If someone else really happened to pass by, it can only be blamed on his bad luck." Colin answered cruelly. No one else should be informed of this matter.

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

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

"I understand. I'm not a novice either. You should be more careful too," Edith replied.

Then Colin and Edith hid separately. Less than half an hour later, Wizard Parkinson came alone towards their hiding place.
