The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Elleng's eyelids drooped slightly, and after glancing at Fain, he turned his gaze to Wordsworth, shaking his head slightly in his heart.

This fourth disciple was still a bit too focused on personal gain; otherwise, he should have advanced to Level 5 after so many years.

Dore is not just going out; he's preparing to leave!

A Level 4 pharmacist is highly sought after wherever he goes.

He thought for a moment and said, "Dore, don't be in such a hurry. Wordsworth's words only represent his personal opinion. The purpose of calling you here this time is to inform you about your return. Your students can return to the Pharmacy Hall and be under your exclusive supervision. As for your plans to go out, let's talk about it after this period."

Right now, a portion of the academy's income depends on him. Who would benefit from driving him away?

Wordsworth's face was extremely unsightly.

Dore was slapping him in the face. He was about to unleash his aura to teach him a lesson, but he felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. He looked at his teacher and found him staring at him expressionlessly. Immediately, he dared not act rashly and retracted his aura.

The teacher had been seeking to reach Level 6 for so many years and didn't want to interfere in matters, but that didn't mean he was unaware of his intentions.

He slowly took two steps back, glanced at Nico, lowered his head slightly, and no longer participated in the matter.

Dore looked at Elleng and nodded heavily. He glanced at Wordsworth, glanced at Nico, and looked at Nicholas, shaking his head slightly.

To be honest, he was a bit disappointed. If it weren't for Lamb's kindness and recognition, he might have left here long ago.

He fell silent, his gaze turned to the distance.

Elleng frowned when he saw this.

It was impossible for such a talented pharmacist to not have a bit of arrogance. He seemed to be compromising easily now, but from his words just now, it could be heard that he didn't seem to want to stay here.

If a Level 4 pharmacist were to leave the academy just like that, then Elleng Academy should really close down.

Many thoughts ran through his mind, and then he said, "You may all leave." Then he added, "Dore, stay behind."

The crowd looked at Elleng, bowed slightly, and then slowly withdrew.

Soon, only Elleng and Dore were left in the room.

Elleng looked at Dore and said calmly, "Do you feel that we don't value you?"

Facing a Level 5 wizard, Dore still felt a lot of pressure, but he wasn't afraid of the other party. He spoke directly according to his inner thoughts, saying, "I'm not someone who wants to be valued by others. I just want to find a quiet place to do research, that's all."

Elleng roughly understood what Dore meant, "I've learned about your situation from others. You came from the Northern Kingdom and only need a quiet place? You need a force to rely on, you need to buy spell models and potion formulas. A lone person probably won't be able to do it, right?"

Dore smiled upon hearing this, "Do you think that with my abilities, I would lack these things wherever I go?"

Elleng was immediately stunned!

He lowered his head, thought carefully for a moment, and his expression became serious.

A capable pharmacist probably wouldn't lack these things. With his current strength, it wouldn't be difficult to even build a team directly.

"To be honest, I'm relatively disappointed with the atmosphere of Elleng Academy. The higher-ups are short-sighted and lack a broad perspective. They only see the immediate petty gains and can't see the distance at all. If Elleng Academy continues like this, not to mention a higher academy, even a middle academy is a luxury."

Dore simply spoke his mind.

Elleng's face immediately darkened, and a wave of power suddenly arose from his body. He simply looked at Dore, and Dore felt as if he were sitting in front of a volcano, as if it could erupt at any moment.

"I don't worry too much about the academy's affairs. Perhaps the things you said exist, but after all, Elleng Academy is the only academy in Waltz City."

Dore felt the pressure, "Then you should know how many people the Dark Gate Academy has poached from Elleng Academy for so long? As far as I know, there are as many as five intermediate lecturers from our academy alone."

Elleng naturally knew about these things. Since waking up, this kind of thing had been slowly decreasing, but many of the academy's lecturers seemed to be intending to leave.

The Dark Gate Academy had received strong support from the official and military departments of Fengxu City, as well as the local nobles. It was financially strong and poaching people everywhere. This was no longer just a matter for their Waltz City; the surrounding cities had all been poached.

Elleng lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I know about this matter. Their departure was also with my consent; otherwise, it would have been impossible to leave. They are just intermediate lecturers. The academy still has quite a few. What I can't figure out is why you would have the idea of leaving. Elleng Academy hasn't forced you so excessively, has it?"

"Elleng, are you joking? If there was no coercion, why would I go to the Magic Potion Hall?"

Elleng's face darkened, "All pharmacists are under the jurisdiction of the Magic Potion Hall. What's wrong with that?"

Dore shook his head, "That's not wrong, but you should ask how many pharmacists are willing to go to the Magic Potion Hall. The Magic Potion Hall is almost a private territory."

"Private territory?" Elleng was somewhat shocked by this accusation. They were an academy, how could there be such a thing as a private territory?

He slowly retracted his aura and said in a solemn tone, "I will investigate. I will give you an explanation for this matter."

Dore nodded and turned to leave.

Watching Dore leave, Elleng shook his head. This child had ability, but he was too unruly.

Thinking for a moment, he clapped his hands.

Soon, a black shadow walked in from outside. He was completely wrapped in black, revealing only a pair of eyes.

The person knelt on the ground, and a deep voice sounded, "Master Elleng."

Elleng said, "During the time I was away, tell me one by one about what happened in the academy."

...

Dore walked out of Elleng Tower, where Lamb was waiting anxiously at the door.

Seeing Dore come out, Lamb's face lit up, then showed a hint of guilt. He had also heard just now that Dore intended to leave.

"How was it? Did the Dean make things difficult for you?"

Dore shook his head and said, "No, we just chatted for a few sentences."

Lamb sighed and said, "Now that things have come to this, if you want to leave, I personally don't object. The atmosphere in the academy is not good now. When you were in Lamb Tower, I could still protect you. Now that you've left Lamb Tower, it's hard for me to say anything. Nico and Nicholas, and the others, are too selfish. To be honest."

Dore nodded and said, "Let's wait and see for a while. If they continue like this, I will leave the academy. I want to advance to Level 5 pharmacist, and it's impossible without a slightly more stable environment."

As Dore said this, a copper bell hanging on the eaves above Lamb Tower suddenly vibrated, absorbing the fluctuations of their voices into it.

Lamb raised an eyebrow, "Do you have a clue about Level 5?"

Dore shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I've mastered the Level 5 ingredients for some potions. Only a few main ingredients are left, and I need to practice the techniques a bit."
