The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Feller led his men away, arriving with bluster and leaving with bluster, as if nothing had happened.

Harley stood at the doorway, watching the direction Feller left in, feeling a little confused.

Dore had offended that little hoodlum, and that thing was quite the troublemaker, daring to bribe the city guards.

He thought for a moment, then turned to look at the somewhat apprehensive Dore, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about this matter for now.

As long as you stay here, no one can touch you.

I know you live in the slums, and if possible, you can move closer and live nearby.

You earn twenty silver coins a month now, enough to rent a decent place."

Although Duomeng City was just an ordinary small city, it had a mine as its backing, and the average standard of living was not low.

Anyone could live in the slums, and it was free, making it the best choice for most people with unstable incomes.

But outside the slums, it was hard to say where ordinary commoners lived.

There were rental houses, but the prices were not low.

The lowest was three or four silver coins a month, and slightly better places could even cost dozens of silver coins a month.

And that was just for ordinary single rooms; renting a whole small courtyard would be even more expensive.

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to even think about renting a house.

Now, he could think about it, but he didn't want to rent a single room shared by many people.

That would guarantee safety, but he still had many shady wizard experiments to do in the future, so he could only rent a detached house or a small courtyard, which he couldn't afford.

So, he said somewhat awkwardly, "I don't want to rent now.

Maybe I'll just sleep on the floor outside."

He pointed to the outside of the blacksmith shop.

Harley's mouth twitched.

How stingy was this kid?

He was already earning 20 silver coins a month and still didn't want to rent a house?

He waved his hand and said, "Suit yourself, as long as you're not afraid of the cold."

It was more than a month into spring now, but it was still quite cold at night.

Plus, this was a mountainous area, three or four degrees colder than outside.

It was impossible to be without a house to block the wind.

Dore glanced at the side of the forging furnace, which was open on all sides and had no shelter at all.

Without the furnace, it would definitely be very cold at night.

Forget it, he should just go back to the slums, honestly save money, and wait for his mental strength to increase to the apprentice stage.

The Legendary Path of Narye recorded that wizards could refine many medicines once they entered the apprentice stage.

As long as he could casually refine one, he could change his current fate and embark on the path to legend, no, the path to not lacking money.

Narye was a great figure.

Although Dore believed that he could not become a figure like Narye, it was easy to get rid of his current situation.

Damn Aoduo, damn city guards!

Dore deeply remembered Feller.

This kind of bastard who didn't treat others as human beings for the sake of some money would be punished sooner or later.

There was a lot of work to do this day, and it was very dull.

Dore still completed it conscientiously, while learning how to forge various weapons.

His current source of income was here, and there was no need to slack off at work because of someone else's difficulties.

Soon, the day passed, and it was time to get off work.

Verick told Dore when he left that he was now a contracted blacksmith, a first-level blacksmith.

His identity had changed, and he was no longer a pauper.

He told him to correct his attitude and study forging hard.

That Aoduo was just a small hoodlum, nothing more.

Dore shrugged.

He walked out of the blacksmith shop and headed towards the slums, but soon realized that something was wrong.

Someone seemed to be staring at him.

He quickly walked into the slums, plunged into the slums' intricate passages, and hid himself.

After he left, Aoduo's men chased after him, but Dore had disappeared without a trace.

Standing at the intersection, Aoduo slammed the hat in his hand to the ground.

"This damn piece of trash runs pretty fast, but he still lives in the slums.

I'll keep looking for him tomorrow."

The little hoodlums next to him nodded fiercely.

They had already heard about what their boss did today, and they didn't even give the city guard adults any face.

Dore was really turning the world upside down.

"He's just one person.

We can't deal with him in the blacksmith shop, but we can deal with him as long as we catch him outside."

"Yes, catch him, break his legs, and throw him into the mountains to feed the wild beasts."

Hearing this, the anger in Aoduo's heart gradually dissipated.

He had spent a great price this time, but he still couldn't do anything to Dore.

His heart was simply bleeding, but Feller had lost face this time, and he had already noted Dore down.

As long as Dore left the city in the future, he could find a way to make things difficult for him.

"You guys keep an eye on him tomorrow.

We'll catch him one day.

We've heard that he earns twenty silver coins a month.

As long as we can catch him, it'll be enough for the brothers to eat and drink well."

Aoduo cheered himself up and looked around.

No one in the slums dared to look at them.

The surroundings were messy, and it was getting late.

He was going to go back, just in time to drink with several important figures, build relationships.

He had grown up, and his father had already paved the way for him.

He shouldn't waste these relationships.

Back in the room, Dore breathed a sigh of relief, touched Dog Aoduo's head, and looked a little heavy.

After playing with Dog Aoduo's head for a while and scratching him for a while, Dore sat on the bed and began to practice meditation.

As for the basic boxing techniques and stance work, he had already worked hard at the blacksmith shop during the day to practice the basic hammer techniques, which was enough.

There was no need to practice extra at night.

People always had to learn to rest.

He quickly entered a meditative state and then visualized the second copper coin.

Perhaps because his emotions had fluctuated too much today, his mental strength had increased slightly.

The second copper coin grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, which meant that his mental strength had increased slightly.

However, this kind of speed was fast in the short term, and the slower it got, the slower it would become, and then it would slowly stop.

Soon, Dore felt sleepy and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Dog Aoduo raised his head and spat a seven-colored light on Dore's body, then shook his body and left leisurely from the gate.

Dore came back today with a strange look on his face, probably something happened.

This guy was just a dull gourd, and he never told himself anything, and he never talked to himself.

Well, he'll follow him to the blacksmith shop tomorrow.

With himself helping him to condition his body every day, this guy should be living a good life in the blacksmith shop.

It's a pity that this guy is too poor.

If he had alchemical medicine to assist him, he should quickly reach the intermediate level of warrior apprentice, but now it's still too slow, but for ordinary people, this speed is already quite fast.

Dog Aoduo was only responsible for the big trends, and he was too lazy to care about small things.

After all, Dore needed to grow and needed enough experience, not to live under his wings.

He quickly came to the old position in the mountains yesterday, and he changed a place to continue absorbing the energy underground.

Although it was just a small mine, it was enough for him to absorb for many days.

So far, he had gradually recovered 10% of his power, and Dog Aoduo was not in a hurry at all.

Take it slowly.

…

Dore had not been comfortable these past few days.

Not only was he tired from working during the day, but he also had to fight wits and courage with Aoduo's men when he went back at night.

The slums were indeed a no-man's land, and even the patrolling soldiers and peace officers did not go there.

Aoduo was simply lawless there.

It was extremely annoying.

Although Aoduo was hateful, as long as he entered the slums, it was Aoduo's world.

For three consecutive days, they had no chance to catch him, and Dore's second copper coin had already been visualized into a rough prototype.

Now he just needed to add details to it, but even so, he didn't feel that his mental strength had improved much.
