The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chapter 144: Post-event benefits

"Huh? A big battle just ended and we are late?" Nick said.

"Well, there are traces of fire and ice spells, and there are some broken skeletons in the front. They should be undead wizards." Jacob said after looking at it for a while.

"Could it be Colin and his family who did this? There shouldn't be any other wizards nearby."

"...Hey, it seems like we have to be more careful next time. Colin is a tough guy. Now that his wife has advanced, we still have to be careful. This guy is too cruel."

"What are you afraid of? The three major families jointly maintain the order of Willisel. There is no conflict of interest now. On the contrary, our interests should be consistent. What's more, the law enforcement team is only in the city of Mogwen and will not come here. Since there is no clear evidence, it means that they have done a good job. Let's go, let's go. It's boring." Nick shook his head and left first.

Jacob stayed for a while, watching Nick leave.

What did he do? Jacob collected the scattered skull fragments on the ground, cast a spell to mess up all the traces here before leaving.

Why did he do this? In fact, it was not that Jacob wanted to help Colin, but he and Nick had done similar things before. He didn't want to attract the attention of the law enforcement team because of Colin's carelessness. If he and Nick were involved, it would be a loss.

"Ah, young people are so impulsive. The key is that after being impulsive, they don't know how to eliminate the traces. They are so reckless. Hey, an old man like me has to clean up their messes." Jacob sighed.

Not to mention Jacob and Nick's reactions, Colin and Edith, who had taken a detour, had already returned to the wizard tower at Heaton Manor.

"It went quite smoothly. I planned it out without any intention. It was two against one, so it worked." Colin said happily.

"We left in a hurry, and we didn't completely remove all traces of the scene. Is that okay?"

"…Time was a bit tight, and we couldn't care less at the time. But as long as we don't get caught, I think we'll be fine. Besides, we don't plan to do this again. Even if we are spotted by the law enforcement team, they won't notice."

"I hope so. Let's see what we can gain. It would be bad if we took risks for a long time but got nothing in return."

"Well, this guy is completely dead. The space ring is still easy to open." As he said that, Colin removed the mark on the space ring. As his mental power probed into the ring, he immediately sensed all the items in the ring.

"Hey, we're rich. This guy is definitely not a good person. He is richer than all of us." Colin smiled so hard that his mouth was grinning.

After taking out the various items from the ring, Colin and Edith counted them:

There are seven wizard coin cards in total (each can be exchanged for 7651 wizard coins), and wizard coins; an ancient animal skin book with "Guide to the Use of Necromancer Spells", um, written by Sandro; "Lich Training Manual"; three bottles of recovery potions, and an amulet engraved with the undead.

Well, Colin and Edith didn't care about the other miscellaneous things that didn't count. The two books and the alchemical item were unexpected gains. The wizard coins were the main reason why Colin took action this time. Fortunately, he achieved his goal smoothly.

"When are you planning to leave?" Edith asked Colin about his itinerary when she saw that the money was enough.

"You haven't completely consolidated your realm yet. Besides, I think we need to observe Jacob and Nick's reactions. I'll find time to borrow and repay the money in a few days and see Nick's reaction first."

"Well, that's fine. It's not too late to eliminate the hidden dangers in time."

……

Three days later, Akali Manor.

"Welcome, welcome, Wizard Colin."

"Hello, Wizard Nick, it's been a while since we last met."

"Yes, come in, please. I just got some port red wine from the Victoria Islands. You can try it and see how it tastes."

"...Victoria Islands? Well, I'd be honored to refuse then." Colin was delighted that he could taste the red wine from his hometown here. He didn't expect that the Lincoln family's red wine was sold here.

"How is it? It's not bad, right? I also drank it once by chance in the city of Mogwen. It felt good and the price was moderate. I have been ordering it for a long time."

"Well, not bad, Wizard Nick, you have really good taste." Colin complimented.

"Wizard Colin, is there anything you need that brings you here this time?" Nick asked.

"It's like this. I am very grateful to Wizard Nick for lending me money last time. Recently, my family has returned some money. I have more money on hand now, so I naturally have to pay back the money I borrowed from my friend."

"Oh, I'm not in a hurry to use it. Wizard Colin, if you have other uses for it, just use it first. You can pay me back when you have some spare money."

"Well, between friends, sincerity is the most important thing. If you borrow something, you must return it. Now that I have it, I will definitely pay it back as soon as possible."

After that, Colin took out three wizard coin cards and handed them to Nick.

"It seems like this kid has caught a fat sheep and paid back the money all at once." Nick thought secretly after taking it.

"It's clear, Wizard Colin."

"Well, thank you again for your great support last time."

"By the way, Wizard Nick, have you heard any rumors recently?" Colin asked casually.

"Here it comes, this guy can't sit still anymore, haha." Nick laughed in his heart.

"No, there are no rumors, Wizard Colin, have you heard anything?" Nick pretended to be ignorant.

"Oh, I haven't heard of it either. I think as long as nothing goes wrong with Willisel, it's fine. After all, the stable output of moonlight grass is the key."

"Well, you're right. Everything is for the stability of Willisl."

After some more nonsense, Colin and Nick left Akali Manor.

Originally, Colin wanted to ask about the clone technique, but the timing was not right, so he decided to wait until he returned from Griman Island.

As for Nick, he may know about it or he may not, but since there was no other reaction, the matter was over for him.

After leaving Akali Manor, Colin saw that it was still early, so he thought about it and decided to go to the Teton family's manor.

Well, we need to find out what that old fox has to say.

"What wind brings Wizard Colin here? Haha, what a rare visitor." Jacob said with a smile.

"Of course it's the spring breeze of friendship. I haven't seen Wizard Jacob for a long time and I miss him very much." Colin replied with a smile.

"Come, sit inside."

"Wizard Colin, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Oh, nothing more. I just want to ask Wizard Jacob if he has heard anything recently."

"What have you heard? I haven't heard anything, but Wizard Colin has been promoted to a first-level wizard at such a young age. He has a bright future. Of course, there is nothing to say about his strength. It is a good thing for young people to be enterprising, but sometimes it is better to be cautious in doing things. It is not good to be too impetuous. Young people should not be too impetuous." Jacob said meaningfully.

"Oh no! This old guy might know something." Colin was a little anxious, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Yes, I am not like Jacob the Wizard. I have been promoted for a long time and I have lost my sharpness. Besides, if I am not energetic, can I still be called a young man?"

"Uh, okay, Wizard Colin, you're right. Haha, I'm old." Jacob didn't want to conflict with Colin.

"No, Wizard Jacob, you are still very young. You are also a young man. Compared with those demigod wizards on the continent, we are all very young."

"Haha, yes, yes, I can't argue with you. By the way, I have some things here for you." After that, Jacob gave Colin a space ring.

After Colin took it, he used his mental power to check it and found a large number of skull fragments inside.

"Thank you, Wizard Jacob, for your trouble." Colin stood up and bowed to Jacob.

"Well, everything is for the stability of Willisl." Jacob said, avoiding the body.

"Well, everything is for the stability of Willisl. I believe that such a thing will not happen again in the future. I promise." Colin finally expressed his opinion.
