The Witcher: Elemental Lords

“If only we had a wind-based wizard, they could blow away this poisonous gas.” The skinny black-clothed man sighed and said, “Boss, we lost six men, and Titi is gone too.”

Hearing this, the black-clothed leader's eyes turned bloodshot, and his heart bled.

Titi was his top lieutenant, and he died so inexplicably.

“Investigate! There shouldn't be many pharmacists this powerful in Waltz City, Fengxu City, or the other cities. He's probably holding a branch from that lightning-struck locust tree. See who's holding such a staff in the future; it must be him.”

“Yes, Boss.”

“I swear I won’t be human if I don’t avenge this!” The black-clothed leader said, turning around and disappearing into the forest.

Having lost so many men, he needed to make up for it elsewhere.

…

Dore looked at the black-clothed men lying on the ground and turned to look at Baal. “Do you eat people?”

Baal looked at him and said in a faint voice, “In ancient times, primordial times, and even recent times, you humans were the food of other races. What do you think?”

Dore thought that made sense, so he said expressionlessly, “After I've searched them, you can have them.”

He had no habit of pitying his enemies. Enemies should be obliterated, and there was nothing more convenient than turning them into fertilizer. Moreover, these people had harmed countless others; they deserved to die a thousand times over.

Humans killing each other was a common sight, but Dore couldn't possibly pity such sinister people.

He quickly finished searching the six men, summarizing it in two words.

So poor.

Aside from some silver and gold notes and the weapons they carried, he didn't find anything good. Clearly, these people had hidden their loot. He also didn't find any tokens on them, so he didn't know their identities. They were extremely well hidden.

However, on one of the young men, he found a good sword. The purple blade was made of high-quality amethyst, reaching level four. Moreover, it was his favorite narrow blade. He held it in his hand, unable to put it down. At the same time, this sword was also their clue. Such a good sword shouldn't be common. He would ask around to see who was behind this.

Once he finished searching, the bodies all disappeared.

Baal burped contentedly, his eyes questioning him.

Dore nodded, threw away the sword he was holding, replaced it with the purple sword, and inserted it into the scabbard. “Let's go back. By the way, let's spread the news about the Warm Jade and the level four Yin Ghost. But I think someone will spread the word first.”

He thought of the noble youngsters' adventure team and the Elengard Academy squad, and his heart sank. He wondered how they were doing.

As for the noble adventure team, Dore didn't have much hope. These thieves probably liked nobles the most.

After slightly identifying the direction, Dore counted the gains from this trip. Actually, he was still at a loss. He lost a set of tents and a set of alchemical reconnaissance items. Although he had made them himself and didn't spend too much money, it was still a waste of time.

In addition, a lot of the potent hallucinogenic potion was used. One bottle cost hundreds of gold coins, which was like bleeding.

A lot of poison was used, especially the black powder poison. One bottle cost 300 gold coins, and he threw out nearly ten bottles in one go.

The cost of this trip alone was as high as seven or eight thousand gold coins. After a little calculation, Dore felt a little terrified.

However, being able to obtain the lightning-struck locust wood made the money worth spending.

There were still some hidden dangers on this trip. He was targeted by unknown people. They must know that he had obtained the lightning-struck locust wood. It was only a matter of time before they found him. He had to be careful, and he also had to guard against others coveting his staff.

However, after thinking about it, he put these things behind him.

Level three! He was no longer as cautious as level two. As long as he successfully constructed a level three wizardry, he would have a place in Waltz City. Not to mention that he could be promoted to a level five pharmacist as soon as he returned, greatly increasing his status. In addition, after taking the dragon blood, his physique and aptitude had greatly improved, greatly increasing his cultivation speed. Dore felt that everything was developing in a good direction.

Thinking of this, Dore became more confident in his future plans, and he became more confident.

…

On the edge of Silent Valley, a group of people was fleeing in one direction. It was Gary and the nobles. They had lost one person, and the others were more or less injured, fleeing into the mountains.

Behind them, several people were constantly chasing them, getting closer and closer.

Gary ran at the back, turning around to draw his bow and shoot arrows, forcing the pursuers back and covering his team. As the strongest member of the team, he had a responsibility to do so.

He tied explosive fireball scrolls to the arrows. For a time, the people behind him did not dare to chase so closely.

He now understood that the Warm Jade was a conspiracy. Recently, several adventurer teams had died in the mountains. It should have been done by the people who spread the news.

His heart was full of hatred.

If he knew which mercenary group did it, he would definitely kill them.

Fleeing in the mountains, Gary was filled with anger. Those people were strong and difficult to deal with, but fortunately, he had enough scrolls on him.

Just then, he felt a crisis. He suddenly lowered his head, and an extremely sharp aura flew over his head. Then, a crackling sound of destruction came from behind him.

It was the sound of arrows hitting the wood and exploding.

Without saying a word, he looked in that direction and casually drew a red arrow, returning the favor.

Boom.

The explosion echoed in the mountains, the forest shook, and birds flew in fright.

The speed of the pursuers slowed down slightly.

A group of black-clothed men were leaping through the valley. They were always hundreds of meters away from Gary in front, and they couldn't catch up at all. Although these noble young masters were not strong, they had complete tools, lightweight scrolls, alchemical equipment, everything. If they robbed these young masters, they would be rich.

However, Gary, the leader, had various scrolls, which were difficult to chase.

It was obvious that they would soon leave Silent Valley.

There were no other monsters in Silent Valley, so they could chase unscrupulously, but after leaving Silent Valley, they would not dare to go deep into the mountains.

How annoying.

At this moment, he heard the sound of something rolling behind him. Looking back, he saw that four or five people were running and suddenly fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

The black-clothed leader who was chasing was a little stunned. What was going on?

At this moment, he saw that on the other side of the valley, a young man in an ordinary wizard's robe was walking expressionlessly. As he walked, the energy elements of the surrounding world changed rapidly. The closer he got to them, the more inconvenient the people around him became.

The black-clothed man's expression changed slightly, and he made a gesture to quickly retreat into the mountains.

At this time, he saw that the wizard raised his hand, and four or five fireballs crossed the space at an extremely fast speed, flying towards them in the forest.
