The Witcher: Elemental Lords

At dawn, as the sky brightened, the convoy set off on time.

Inside the carriage, Lamb laughed, "Your talent is remarkable. You've not only grasped the fundamentals of potion-making but also developed your witchcraft so rapidly. If you reach the fourth or fifth level in the future, those guys in the Northern Kingdom will probably regret it to death."

Dore smiled faintly, saying nothing. Fourth or fifth level wasn't his destination. The 'Son of Elements' meditation technique could be cultivated up to the eighth level. At the very least, he had to reach the same level as Baal to be worthy of this opportunity.

"That's because I don't need to deal with other things. I just need to focus on doing my own job well."

"A truly sincere person," Lamb summarized.

The carriage moved slowly, soon leaving the wasteland and arriving at a downward slope.

Looking down from here, one could see the vast South Bay Swamp.

The South Bay Swamp used to be a no-man's-land, a very large area, two or three times larger than the area ruled by Huaz City. It was surrounded by highlands, with a very large plain basin in the middle. The terrain was very flat. At a glance, Dore understood why they wanted this area to be under human rule.

The flat ground, the fertile soil, such a place was very suitable for planting, could produce more population, could gather more troops, and could cultivate more wizards.

However, in order to conquer this area, Huaz City and several surrounding cities also paid a great price, with over a hundred thousand soldiers dying alone.

…

All the escorting soldiers put on gas masks and stood on both sides of the carriage, Finn included.

Dore and Lamb didn't wear anything. They jumped out of the carriage from two different doors.

With their feet on the brown earth, Dore and Lamb squatted down at the same time, touching the ground with their hands.

Their fingers quickly turned black, then red.

"Highly toxic, this is exactly what we need to solve," Lamb said softly, shaking off the dirt from his hands. He looked into the distance and said, "Such a large area, we need to collect about 2,000 soil samples. You go to the left, I go to the right?"

Dore glanced at the unbelievably flat distance, saw the famous Mount Mingyang in the distance, nodded, and said, "Okay." He turned to Finn and said, "You guys stay here, don't go far. There's also poisonous gas in the air. The filter can last about six hours."

After speaking, he got up and walked into the distance, his speed getting faster and faster, and soon only a small black dot remained.

On the other side, Lamb also quickly disappeared.

The South Bay Swamp used to be a famous adventure site, a world of many amphibious creatures. The most powerful creatures here were a group of level five Green Dragons. All the wizards from several surrounding cities were mobilized, and even magic towers were brought in, to solve most of them and drive away the remaining half.

Green Dragons are poison-type creatures, so the depths of this swamp are filled with toxins everywhere, and even high-level pharmacists dare not stay in the depths for long.

Stepping on the muddy water, Dore stood gently on the water, looked to the side, and then asked, "Lord Baal, what do you see?"

Baal's figure appeared next to him. He tilted his head, looked at the water under his feet, and said in a deep voice, "I smell the Green Dragon's scent, it hasn't dissipated yet, ah ah! I feel like my saliva is about to come down."

His eyes shone slightly.

Dore smiled faintly, "They've all been driven away, you probably won't be able to eat them."

"Five-colored dragons are all evil dragons, they are even filled with stench and exude evil rules, but the taste is very good, ah ah, I feel like my stomach is back."

Baal pretended to reminisce for a while, then laughed, "The smell is a bit far, it has indeed left. I'll go find it. Don't worry, there's no danger nearby, only various toxins that put people to death, oh, and some good things." He disappeared in place instantly.

Dore glanced around, not sensing any aura, so he shrugged and began to take out his collection bag to start collecting. As for the good things Baal mentioned, he didn't care.

The South Bay Swamp was very large, very large. If the carriage ran at full speed, it would take at least two days to run from left to right. Their collection work would last about five days.

In addition to them, there were other people busy on this land, doing the same thing.

The next day, Dore encountered a fully armed army, followed by a few guys who looked like level one wizards.

They weren't from Huaz City, but from Luoyan City.

…

A young man, the jade pendant hanging on his chest emitted a faint light, resisting the mist coming from all directions.

"Is that a level two wizard? So young?" one of the wizards said in surprise.

The others glanced at him, equally surprised, "It should be a level two wizard. Level two wizards can freely absorb oxygen from the air without wearing a defensive badge."

"Too young."

"Younger than me."

"Level two wizards are not someone we can provoke. I heard that level three wizards are also coming."

"Why care about those things? We need to do our own thing, quickly help the academy do its job well."

The little wizards started chattering.

Collecting poisonous soil here was the academy's mission.

…

"Are those people from the Dark Academy?" Dore thought thoughtfully when he saw their magic robes.

The Dark Academy was the first academy in Fengxu City and the main competitor of Huaz City. He didn't know how many times he had heard about it in Gudus.

Dore just glanced at them and walked away.

After a moment, Baal's figure reappeared next to him, with a blue bracelet in his mouth.

"Congratulations, you've obtained your first piece of spatial equipment," Baal's mouth didn't move, and the sound came from his abdomen.

Dore was stunned, reached out and took the blue bracelet from Baal's mouth, and said with some shock, "Spatial equipment?" He reacted quickly, "You found the Green Dragon's treasure?"

After reaching level five, alchemists could come into contact with spatial magic patterns and create spatial equipment, such as spatial rings, spatial bracelets, and other storage items. Spatial rings were relatively expensive, while spatial bracelets were cheaper, but no matter which one, the value was over hundreds of thousands of gold coins, so this thing was very rare.

Baal didn't show any pride, as if it was something he should do, and nodded, "There are a lot of good things, but they are very low-level. The highest-level Green Dragon here might only be level five. I heard that most of the high-level dragon species are overseas or in the mountains."

Dore was a little envious, "Then you've gained a lot." He didn't hear the other meaning in Baal's words. This guy was purely gluttonous. He glanced at the bracelet in his hand, immediately put it on, and then imprinted it with his mental power.

He quickly sensed a not-so-small space inside, about eight cubic meters.

Putting all the things in his hand into the storage ring, Dore was a little happy.

Magister Lamb also had one, so he was always clean and tidy, seeming to bring nothing, but in fact, everything was put in the spatial equipment.

With spatial equipment, there was no need to hang everything on the body, this feeling was extremely comfortable.

Next, he could speed up and collect as quickly as possible.

During this time, he also encountered people from Fengxu City. Everyone tacitly understood, exchanged greetings, saluted each other, and then left.

Baal would disappear from his surroundings from time to time, not knowing what he was looking for, and then reappear after a while.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the evening of the fifth day.

Night, the moonlight was bright, Dore returned to the road he came from and found the imperial army that was resting.

Finn saw Dore coming from a distance and nodded slightly, "Magister Dore, I heard that you have been promoted to level two?"

Dore asked the soldiers to keep the secret, but now it seemed that they hadn't kept it.

He nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Finn sighed and said, "At your age, you are considered very powerful in Huaz City. In the Glory Wizard Alliance, only Kazk can compare with you."

Now it was Dore's turn to be shocked. He was already very fast, was there someone faster than him?

Kazk, it seemed he had heard people say that he was a descendant of a level five wizard?
