The Witcher: Elemental Lords

The agreement process was uneventful. It was quickly signed. Dolai carefully reviewed the agreement and had a general understanding of it.

Besides his primary duties of providing remote fire support and some alchemical assistance, the caravan would purchase anything else he could offer, which was acceptable. Plus, there was some extra income, which Dolai found pleasing.

After seeing Kaleline and the others off, Dolai was finally able to rest.

In the evening, the campfire in the camp was lit, illuminating the many tents. Sitting in his tent, watching the vague figures outside, Dolai felt a sense of unreality.

Was he really about to embark on an adventure? It was actually quite exciting.

However, embarking on a journey was one thing, but he still had to do what he needed to do. The main task before him was to study the meditation technique, 'Child of the Fire Element'.

He had obtained this meditation technique two days ago, but Dolai hadn't fully grasped it yet. He was still missing a part. Tonight, he would study it again, and perhaps he could begin practicing it tomorrow.

In addition to the meditation technique, he also needed to arrange the spell model for Fireball.

In comparison, the spell model for Burning Hand only required thirty-six nodes. However, the Fireball spell model actually had fewer points, only twenty-two. But unlike the planar spell model of Burning Hand, Fireball was already a three-dimensional form, a complete icosahedron constructed from triangles.

Triangles have a stable structure, which has many applications in alchemy. In Fireball, this model is used. Furthermore, the power of Fireball can be adjusted by increasing the injection of mental power into the nodes of the icosahedron, or by increasing the volume of the spell model to increase the power of the spell.

This is a very scalable magic, unlike Burning Hand, which has basically no value for growth.

The spell model of Small Fireball is the same as Burning Hand. It has a few more nodes, but it is still planar. Unlike Fireball, the range of Small Fireball is very short, only about five or six meters, so few people use it.

Planar and three-dimensional are different. Planar only needs to be extended on one surface, without involving collisions or spatial distances, while a three-dimensional structure requires very rigorous thinking and structure. The construction process cannot have even the slightest deviation, otherwise it will easily fail.

After considering these things, Dolai decided to prepare for both. He would spend half his time constructing the meditation technique and half his time studying Fireball, doing both simultaneously.

'Child of the Fire Element' requires visualizing the form of a fire elemental. The essence of this meditation technique requires visualizing a complete fire element, but where could Dolai find a fire element? He could only visualize a fake fire element based on the description in the meditation technique.

If he ever encountered a real fire element in the future, he could go and take a look.

Constructing a fake fire element was not very difficult. After all, it was fake, and the details could be a bit rough. After dealing with some of the details of the meditation technique, Dolai began to simulate it.

First, he completely dispersed the copper coins, then transformed his mental power into flames, and then condensed these flames into a human form.

It sounded easy, but it was actually very difficult, because after mental power transformed into flames, the control became exponentially more difficult. It was not easy to condense the flame-shaped mental power. Just controlling the mental power itself almost exhausted Dolai's energy.

He would need to spend some time to get started, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Flames are irregular, as described in the meditation technique, but they contain rules. When Dolai transformed into flames, he understood the uncertainty of these rules. After a little attempt, he knew that his entry time might be delayed for a while.

Soon, midnight passed, and he hadn't even visualized a leg of the fire elemental.

Too difficult.

Soon, he fell into a deep sleep, forgetting to organize the Fireball spell model that he had planned for the second half of the night.

…

He woke up in the morning to a series of shouts.

Getting out of bed and opening the tent flap, he saw pairs of guards running circles around the tent, their steps not uniform, but their speed was not slow.

This was only a part of them. Some were wiping their weapons, and others were shooting arrows in the distance.

Dolai felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, he noticed that the ratio of men to women in the caravan was surprisingly unbalanced. All he could see were men. There were very few female guards or adventurers. The few he saw looked almost like men, their muscles even more terrifying than Dolai's.

He shook his head and crawled back into the tent.

At this time, Baal had also woken up and was lying listlessly at the foot of Dolai's bed, stretching lazily.

Baal's actions were not controlled by Dolai, and Dolai didn't want to restrain this master. He could do whatever he wanted. Anyway, no one here could beat him. Yesterday's lesson to that noble was an example.

"Lord Baal, what form does a fire elemental spirit take?" Dolai felt bored and asked.

Baal had finished stretching at this time. He glanced at Dolai, and suddenly a force surged from his body, enveloping the entire tent. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a flame, emitting an astonishing heat. These flames quickly formed a flame-shaped elemental person in the middle of the tent.

Dolai's eyes widened. Was this the elemental spirit?

He carefully observed it.

Baal's voice came out unhurriedly, "The best way to observe a fire elemental spirit is to summon one. That's a third-level spell, you can't use it, so I've simulated a fire elemental spirit for you to look at first."

Dolai hadn't learned such high-end knowledge. Summoning a fire elemental spirit sounded very powerful, but he couldn't use a third-level spell.

The newest novel is first published on 69shuba!

The fire elemental spirit was white, and the flame temperature was very high, emitting intense heat. The entire tent was shrouded in terrifying heat. If it weren't for Baal's power, the entire tent would have been reduced to ashes in an instant.

Dolai didn't dare to observe with his mental power. He quickly discovered that this fire elemental spirit was completely different from what he had imagined.

First of all, it was not completely humanoid. It had no legs. The bottom was a group of flames in an irregular shape, and only the upper body was human.

He had visualized legs all night yesterday. Now it seemed truly embarrassing.

The form of the fire elemental spirit quickly left an impression in his mind.

He waved his hand, signaling that Baal was done.

Baal opened his mouth and sucked the fire element back. He had limited power now, and he couldn't waste any of it.

The temperature of the tent returned to normal. It was then that Baal discovered that he was covered in hot sweat, and even his clothes were soaked.

Just then, a rough female voice came from outside, "Lin Rui, Lin Rui, what's wrong with your tent? Can't open it?"

This was a strange voice, and Dolai was a little confused.

Then the tent opened, a hand reached in, lifted the curtain, and then revealed a burly woman. She looked at the curtain somewhat inexplicably, wondering why she couldn't open it just now.

Dolai looked at the woman and saw that she was holding a washbasin, and immediately understood what was going on.

This was a maid.

The woman looked at the curtain a few times, then looked at Dolai standing in the middle of the tent, cracked her mouth, smiled heartily, and said, "I'm responsible for washing up for several wizard adults in the morning. You can call me Camel Bell."

ps: I will take the second subject exam tomorrow, and I can resume the update after the exam.
