The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

There was a reason why Oscar stayed in the Centaur plane for a while. He was waiting for a new batch of Centaurs in the Centaur plane to enter the "mature stage".

When he left the Centaur plane, he brought back 300,000 Centaur slaves. He had been planning to sell these Centaurs to build a stable plane channel, but now his plan was ruined.

After I came back, I received a notice from Griman College. As a powerful fighting race, the Centaurs are much stronger than many of the slave creatures purchased. However, since they want to show their strength in the next plane battlefield, they must not only show high-level combat power, but also the number of slave creatures, which is a concrete manifestation of the strength of one party.

Therefore, Oscar said that he hoped Colin could also prepare some slave creatures. Of course, Colin's contribution would be converted into profit after the war, and he would not do things like giving away free tickets.

It's not that Oscar doesn't want to go there in person, but he has just come from the Centaur plane and has a lot of things to deal with. He has reached an agreement with Urs and Fred. This time, the three duchies must become a substantive country, otherwise it will be too passive.

Fortunately, Colin was still not disappointed and accepted the task. He could focus on promoting the merger of the three duchies. Although each royal family had its own ideas, the Victoria Islands would not be able to grow stronger as long as they were united. This would be against the entire archipelago. Oscar would never allow this to continue.

……

After separating from Oscar, Colin did not return directly to Emerald Island, but flew to Grimaldi Island. He hoped to learn some specific information from his old acquaintance Mario so that he could act more effectively.

After meeting Mario, Colin didn't hesitate to ask directly about the next big move of Griman College.

"Master Mario, why didn't you tell me such important news? I only heard about it from Oscar." Mario was the representative who signed the contract between the Grimaldi Islands and the Victoria Islands. He and Oscar have known each other for more than a hundred years and have a very good relationship.

"You are not on the list for the academy's evaluation. Moreover, you are a member of the internal forces of the Victoria Islands. You have not been notified separately. You also have to take care of the affairs of the law enforcement team. Can you handle it?"

"The affairs of the law enforcement team are becoming more and more stable. The Arni Mermaid Tribe in the sea area is also very cooperative. With both sides enforcing the law together, no one will come here to cause trouble. As for the Victoria Islands, with the existence of the three principalities and the Victoria Magician Council, stability is still guaranteed. It doesn't matter whether I am here or not."

"Well, even if what you said makes sense, after the academy's evaluation, it still doesn't treat you as a force."

"Don't worry about it. I'm here on behalf of the Victoria's Secret Magician Council. I'm also an elder there. Master Oscar has a lot of things to do after he came back, so he wants me to lead the team and fight with Lord Grimman this time."

"Oh? He seems to trust you. So what do you want to talk about?"

"I just want to learn more about that plane so I can be fully prepared."

"The news has not been announced yet, but it's not something secret, so it's okay to tell you. That plane is called the Esilia World. There are many races inside, and the terrain and environment are of various types. No matter what type of wizard you are, you can always find the resources you need."

"A plane with such rich resources can't be a small world, right?"

"For now, it is still the case, but we don't know when we will be promoted. According to the timeline, we are only about 200 years ahead of the other party. Of course, the most important thing is that we already have several level 4 professionals, while the other party does not. This is the gap."

"With such a large volume, we in the Griman Islands alone can't eat it all, right?"

"Well, Lord Grimman should contact a powerful force for insurance purposes. We haven't yet decided which one. After all, the benefits are not small. If the other party asks for too high a price, it will be more trouble than it's worth."

"So what do I need to prepare in advance?"

"Just like before, prepare more supplies and bring more people. I don't think we can defeat them in the short term."

"Didn't Lord Griman say he was very confident? Why do you say it can't be taken in the short term?"

"That world cannot accommodate god-level wizards. Lord Griman is too big to enter. If you force your way in, your strength will be suppressed to demigod level. Do you understand?"

"Huh? Can't get in? Is it the resistance of the plane's will?"

“Well, you have participated in many plane wars before, and you have not encountered the effect of plane suppression. However, once there are too many creatures beyond the plane, you will be suppressed, especially after reaching level four. It is more obvious. This is the difference between gods and humans. This kind of suppression effect is stronger. Even Lord Griman may not risk entering.

Therefore, we need to attract another force to participate, and we will probably recruit a lot of demigod-level experts. I can only say that it will be an absolutely grand scene, and it would be good for you to see it in advance."

Colin had never seen a fourth-level wizard take action, but Hathaway was different. Her teacher was a fourth-level wizard. She also had some understanding of Grimman, the strongest man in the Southern Islands Alliance of the Wizarding World. His strength was second only to her teacher. If we only talk about combat power, he might not be much worse.

I don't know if the teacher knows about this. It would be nice to ask him when you have time.

Colin didn't know what was going on in Hathaway's mind, but after saying goodbye to Mario, he was also very excited. It was a big scene, and he really wanted to see it, but he also remained cautious. He was only level two, so it seemed that he would have to be extremely careful when he got there.

The preparations were not that complicated. He had enough daily supplies, but he lacked money to buy slaves. Yes, he was still short of money. He had just "extorted" money from his mother-in-law for building a dimensional channel, and he was too embarrassed to ask for more.

The only things produced in the Senna demiplane are some marine creatures. Since Mario mentioned that the terrain there is complex and there are all kinds of environments, they will definitely be useful, but this is far from enough, and we need to buy some more.

In desperation, Colin immediately thought of Theresa, but with such a large loan and no collateral, Theresa would have a hard time making the decision, after all, Colin was not an independent force. (The evaluation results of Griman College and the Bijini Business Alliance were similar)

After consulting the headquarters and with Theresa's guarantee, the loan was approved, but the settlement method changed. It was no longer a simple interest of a few percent, but 35% of Colin's post-war settlement income.

The fee is really quite high. It's not that the Bijini Merchant Alliance is trying to cheat them, but it's the result of an assessment of the possible risks. Colin and his team didn't know before that the Griman Islands were about to launch a remote dimensional campaign, but Griman actually needs a loan to launch such a large-scale campaign. Naturally, the Bijini Merchant Alliance has been aware of this situation for a long time.

Colin came to them for help, and after evaluation, they found that Colin was a second-level wizard, and even if he represented the Victoria Islands Wizarding Council, there was still a considerable risk, so they charged such a high rate.

Colin had some channels for purchasing slaves, but he certainly couldn't raise the money in a short period of time, so he handed them over to the Bijini Merchant Alliance, and he just had to wait to receive them.

After leaving the Bijini Business Alliance outlet, Hathaway said, "Remember the person I mentioned who was thinking about you? The person inside also had the same idea."

"Huh?" Colin didn't feel anything at all, but now was not the time to think about it. He needed to go back to Emerald Island to make some arrangements.
