The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, butler Samir brought the latest information about the Willisel resource point.

Colin read carefully, this was where he would be staying for the next few years, so he couldn't be careless.

It turns out that there was no Willisel Town before. This area was rich in moongrass, which was the main ingredient for many potions, especially healing potions.

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

Seeing the profitability, many merchants from the city of Megwen opened shops in the town of Willisel, which gradually formed the current scale of the town.

Because of this, the town of Willisel 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, a little speechless. This is nonsense. The family has been together for many years, but it has not completely occupied an area. Whether it is purchased or exchanged later, can't it get a chassis? It has to mix with other families. How can this be good?

Don’t talk about how good the relationship between the ancestors was. Now it is the descendants who are in charge of the family. Who doesn’t want to get more benefits for their family? Aren’t the ancestors of the three families leaving disasters for their descendants?

However, the mission had been taken over and the necessary intelligence had been obtained, so Colin did not delay any longer and quickly took Edith to the town of Willisel.

……

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

Laurie, who had already received the news, was waiting at the main road leading to the town. Not to mention that Colin came to help, Colin's strength was worth it for him to do so.

"You are Master Wizard Colin, right? I am Laurie, the wizard apprentice stationed in Willisel by the Heaton family."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Can you tell me if there's any new developments?" Colin and Laurie said as they walked.

"Not yet. Maybe the Teton Family and the Akali Family have heard that you are coming. Before they know your strength, there won't be any movement."

"Is there any powerful person 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."

At this point, 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 one who is usually in charge over there is the apprentice Lisian."

"If the two families' guardian wizards hadn't taken action, I would have collapsed long ago." Lowry then continued.

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

Before arriving at the garrison, Colin thought that the garrison of a town must be simple and just enough for people to live in. However, after arriving, he realized that he had underestimated the Heaton family. After all, a family with hundreds of years of history could not have such a limited foundation.

Not to mention the various arrangements inside the manor, just in terms of area, it is several times larger than his residence on Griman Island, not to mention the five-story wizard tower that Colin saw as soon as he entered the manor, and this is just the residence of a wizard apprentice.

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

Then, Lowry presented a booklet containing information about the Heaton family's personnel and financial affairs in the town of Willisel.

"Hiss, you don't know until you see it. It's really shocking. There are so many people and property." Colin was secretly shocked.

The Heaton family's main assets in Willisel include:

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

There are currently 2000 wizard coins, 10 gold coins, and more than 1000 moongrass plants in the warehouse.

One third of the land in the town also belongs to the Heaton family, and the rent alone can bring in tens of thousands of gold coins every year.

In addition to people, money and materials, Colin's biggest task here is to ensure the safe production of moongrass. He needs to provide 1500 moongrass plants to the Heaton family every season.

According to previous output, 700 moonlight grasses can be collected every month. In addition to the 500 that are handed in on average, the rest can be said to be the benefit of the guarding wizard and the professionals below. Of course, the biggest share will definitely go to the guarding wizard.

Because of the wizards who have been guarding the area in recent years, the Heaton family's share of moonlight grass collection 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 cannot even complete the family's task.

Colin didn't care much about the earth wizards and fire wizards from the two families. He just wanted to find a chance to compete with them. As long as the difference was not too big, they should be able to complete the guarding mission.

However, the share of Moonlight Grass collection must be fought back. This is related to Colin's income, and this must not be given up. Besides, if he can't even complete the basic task, how can he be worthy of Teacher Lina's cultivation.

As for the situation of other wizards in the town, Colin also needs to understand it clearly. After all, unlike the two well-known families, there will not be any major danger. These wizards who are traveling through the town may leave after completing a task. This is what Colin needs to pay attention to and consider.

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

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

Colin glanced at Lowry and said, "No, I have two instructions for you. First, arrange for someone to send invitations to the garrison 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 keep a close eye on the movements of other wizards in the town."

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

"Hmm? Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Go down and make arrangements." Colin ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"I was so careless. I wonder if this will leave a bad impression on Lord Colin?" Laurie thought in annoyance.

He wiped the cold sweat from his head and walked out. Although he had been a member of 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 adults' decision?

Before evening, Colin received Laurie's report.

Colin's invitations were quickly delivered to the Teton family and the Akali family. Wizard Jacob and Wizard Nick both expressed that 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 Laurie completed the task he asked quickly, Colin was very satisfied. Big families are indeed different and very efficient.
