The Witcher: Elemental Lords

The caravan was divided into three sections: management, the middle tier, and the lowest tier.

Management included several large, medium, and small stewards in charge of the caravan, as well as several guard captains.

The middle tier consisted of the guards, composed of various professions.

The lowest tier consisted of the commoners currently packing up the tents. Some were caravan personnel, while others were ordinary people traveling with the caravan in exchange for protection.

Large caravans required many people, and it was impossible for them all to be their own. Apart from the core personnel, they could hire other staff locally at any time, which was also a means for the caravan to conduct business.

Dore saw that most of those dismantling tents and packing things were ordinary people. Some of the guards also participated, and they were very fast, sorting things into categories and packing them all onto separate large carriages.

At this time, Dore saw how many people there were in the entire caravan, about a thousand.

This Flame Caravan was a large caravan!

The morning sky gradually brightened, and as the first ray of morning light shone on the earth, the entire camp had been emptied, revealing the messy grass underneath, and leaving a convoy stretching a kilometer long on the road beside it.

Dore was standing with Karl at this moment. The four wizards were split into two carriages, one in front and one in back.

Candice and Ivan were nobles and didn't fit in with the two of them. The two of them shared a carriage and were responsible for the rear of the convoy. Dore and Karl sat in a carriage together, with the main management's carriage.

After arranging everything, the convoy quickly set off.

Sitting in the carriage, Dore felt a little melancholy. This was the first trip of his life, and he didn't know what lay ahead, full of unknowns.

Sitting in the carriage's canopy was not as good as being outside, where he could at least see the scenery. He couldn't see anything, which made him very uncomfortable.

Karl finished packing and looked at Dore, seeing him fidgeting. So he smiled and said, "The first time I came out, I was just like you, wanting to see the situation outside. Later, I stopped looking. We're fine in the front, but if we were in the back of the convoy, it would all be dust. If you want to see outside, you can lift the curtain."

Dore looked at Karl, his expression slightly softening, and then lifted the car door and looked outside.

At this time, the convoy had already started, slowly heading southeast along the official road.

The convoy moved slowly, quickly leaving the city's surroundings and arriving outside the city. This was already the wilderness, with all kinds of large and small trees, weeds, and shrubs outside the official road. Besides that, in the distance, near the villages, you could also see fields of wheat and farmland.

Dore had already seen these for two days and didn't find them very interesting.

His heart, along with the movement of the carriage, had already gone to the distance.

Karl looked at Dore, thinking of his own past, and smiled slightly. He said, "Back then, I was just like you, coming out of the academy with a surge of enthusiasm and embarking on the path of running a business. So many years have passed, and I've gotten used to this kind of life." He sighed, thinking of his time at the academy.

Dore then heard a new term, "Academy?" He turned his head and said, "Wizards also have academies?"

Karl nodded. "The Glory Empire has them, wizard academies of various factions. As long as you pay, you can get in. It's much stronger than the Northern Kingdom. The Northern Kingdom's national strength has always been poor because it resists the existence of wizards."

Dore immediately became interested. "Then please tell me, what are they like?"

Karl smiled, knowing that talking about these things would arouse Dore's interest.

"The highest magical organization in the Glory Empire is called the Glory Magic Academy, and there are branch academies everywhere below. This is the most orthodox academy, and of course, the most expensive. Besides the orthodox academies, there are also privately run schools, such as the Land of Molten Fire and the Realm of Earth, etc., according to different classifications, the prices vary. People who are slightly richer will send their children to the academies. The Glory Empire has a good atmosphere in this regard. The warrior profession is actually not bad either, anyway, it's much stronger than the Northern Kingdom."

Dore's mind was filled with many images.

The two walked and talked, which reduced Dore's emotions a lot.

Soon, Karl asked, "How is your Fireball spell construction going?"

Dore thought for a while and said, "Almost done, I should be able to do it tonight after I try it."

Karl nodded and said, "You need to hurry. After entering the wilderness, we are easily attacked."

Dore's heart tightened, and he nodded heavily.

As the scenery constantly receded, Chris County in the distance slowly moved away, and was finally completely blocked by the trees on the ground, and could no longer be seen.

He had been looking out the window all the time. At first, he could feel the novelty, after all, it was the first time he had set out with the team, but in the end, he felt bored.

Karl had already taken out a book to read at this time. Dore's appearance was very similar to his own in the past, and he just smiled slightly.

The caravan had three meals a day, all of which were settled on the carriage. They distributed flatbread and jerky, and occasionally stopped to feed the horses and various pack animals, and give them water.

Watching all this was very novel, of course, Dore was not just staring outside all the time, he was also constructing spell models in his sea of consciousness.

Switching from a two-dimensional model to a three-dimensional model at once takes a little time to adapt.

The regular icosahedron is actually very easy to understand, but in the process of construction, there are always many problems. Often, if one point is slightly different from another, it will not be able to connect, and it is always a little bit off.

This fully tests a person's imagination.

Camping at night was on a very open flat ground. All the carriages formed a circle, with people in the middle, and then the cook began to cook, along with making dry food for the next day.

Dore observed carefully, watching everything with a sense of novelty.

At night, he had a small tent to himself, not the large kind, but a separate small tent.

But he wasn't asleep yet, and Steward Lyon came from afar.

"Dore, do you have any ready-made warning magic arrays?"

Dore nodded and said, "I have dozens of them, enough to set up some, but I only have three or four magic纹 for feedback."

Lyon thought for a while and said, "That's enough. There's a small forest in the distance, and we need to guard against the beasts there."

Dore was very happy and went back to the tent, took out the package, and pulled out many animal skins, as well as several animal skin bracers.

These things that used to be difficult to make now seemed quite crude, and his mental power swept over them, and he himself disliked them.

Looking at these animal skins, Lyon's mouth twitched. It was the first time he had seen such crude alchemical products.

Dore saw Lyon's expression and blushed slightly. "These were made when I was a high-level alchemy apprentice. Without tools or materials, I'm already very satisfied to be able to do this."

Lyon looked at Dore, although his expression was somewhat teasing, he could imagine the difficulty of a wild wizard. He nodded and said, "If you have time at night, I can free up a quiet tent for you and provide materials to make better things. We will buy them at market prices, of course, not like these."

Dore's eyes lit up, "I can, I am now a first-level extraordinary wizard, I should be able to make better ones."
