The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Gideon's guardian, Tawa, had also come here, mingling with Morris and the others. Having been here for a long time, he knew that the Wizard Tower didn't have so many rules, and he was starting to relax.

When the last person arrived, a cloud of black mist flew in from outside and landed at the front of the conference room. The black mist piled up layer by layer, quickly forming a human shape, and soon transformed into Doley's figure.

Seeing Doley appear, everyone who had been discussing stopped and looked at him. Everyone was envious; having an avatar was truly wonderful, especially one made from the Xuan Corpse Worm, one of the ancient rare insects.

Doley glanced at everyone, coughed, and slowly said, "I've called everyone to a meeting this morning to announce two things and clarify one thing.

The first thing is that our bidding this time is basically without problems. Even if the Marcia family and the Sikong family try to obstruct us, our purpose of participating in the bidding has been achieved. Even if the Imperial Mage Corps doesn't adopt our potions, we can still get at least one-twentieth of the orders from the Imperial Army. So, please don't worry.

As for the second thing, it's about my newly built Octagonal Wizard Tower. Many people might say that I'm going to leave here. Today, I can tell you definitively that I will indeed be going out for a period of time in the future, but it's not permanent. As you all know, I'm currently stuck at the edge of the Fourth Rank. If I want to advance to the Fifth Rank, I must go out and find an opportunity. That's the reason I'm leaving. Alright, I've said what I wanted to say. Now, you can ask questions."

Doley said so much at once that everyone hadn't quite digested it yet. Hearing this, the first to feel apprehensive were the slaves and Tawa. They were immediately shocked by the news.

Tawa looked at Gideon, then at the others, all with blank expressions, not knowing what to do next.

He immediately stood up and said to Doley, "Lord Doley, if you leave, what will we do?"

Doley looked at them, his expression relaxed. "This Wizard Tower is mine, and the ownership belongs to me. After I leave, you will belong to this Wizard Tower. Before I leave, I will determine a manager and won't let you go back. Also, even if I can't come back in the future, the next Tower Master will be responsible for fulfilling your contracts."

Slave contracts were for life, but slave contracts for those with wizarding talent lasted a maximum of one hundred years. If they were still alive after one hundred years, they would be completely free. They were also afraid of being returned to slave traders. Things were really good here with Doley—safe, comfortable, and without fear of being targeted. They just had to do their job well, and the people here were all very nice to them and wouldn't make things difficult.

Hearing this, the slaves breathed a sigh of relief.

They hoped that Doley would never leave, so they could cultivate in peace.

Morris and Sano had now understood.

Morris stood up directly and said, "Lecturer, what about other things after you leave?"

Doley naturally knew what he was talking about. "Everything will remain the same. I will leave a portion of my mental power to manage the ownership of the Wizard Tower. Also, the cooperation with Eugene and Glait will not be terminated because of this. If any of you are interested, you can now contact Glait on my behalf and take over the matter of drug supplies."

When Doley said this, Morris and Sano exchanged glances and immediately became excited, raising their hands high.

Seeing this, Doley smiled.

Compared to communicating with ordinary nobles, communicating with geniuses like Glait and high-level families like the Orne family was the real way to enter high society.

They had long needed such a threshold, and their faces were now filled with excitement.

As for the others, they seemed uninterested.

Since coming to Doley's Wizard Tower, their daily activities had been reduced to two: alchemy and cultivation. All the wizards in the Wizard Tower had improved greatly in the recent period, and some had even broken through levels.

For wizards who were relatively homebodies, Doley's Wizard Tower was simply a dream come true.

So, hearing that Doley was leaving, everyone was a little apprehensive.

At this time, a woman stood up and said, "Wizard Doley, if you leave and never return, what will we do? Could you consider leaving offspring before you leave?"

Hearing this, the surroundings were deathly silent.

Doley was also stunned. It was possible that he would leave and never return—who knew what would happen outside—but leave offspring! The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He shook his head and said, "That's impossible. If something really happens to me, the Wizard Tower will belong to the Glory Wizard Alliance, and Wizard Allen and you will handle it, or someone else I trust, or you can choose someone yourselves. I will submit a relevant plan to the Glory Wizard Alliance at that time. I will think of a solution in the near future." Doley muttered to himself, 'It's impossible for something to happen to me, absolutely impossible.'

Hearing this, everyone could accept it. Being under the jurisdiction of the Glory Wizard Alliance was better than the Alchemist Guild. They had been disgusted by the Alchemist Guild's supply cuts recently. Of course, it would be best if they managed it themselves, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that no one could replace Doley's position.

It was also thanks to Lecturer Doley's efforts in obtaining many good formulas; otherwise, Doley's Wizard Tower would not be able to become the second largest potion supplier in Wassengburg.

Doley coughed and said, "Today, it's just these two things. If there's nothing else, also, don't be too concerned. My clone will stay behind, and daily management will still be fine. It's just that most of my energy will be focused on the main body, and the clone will sometimes be a little sluggish. If there's anything, discuss it yourselves. I won't be leaving for a while yet; I'm just telling you in advance."

"Also, the bidding matter will come down soon. Everyone, seize the time to refine potions. I only have one request: try to be as perfect as possible and don't ruin the brand we've established."

Everyone in the audience nodded at the same time, even with some smiles. Under Doley's guidance, their potion refining skills were not invincible, but at least the quality was guaranteed. It was difficult to produce defective potions.

The quality of Doley's Wizard Tower's potions was very famous throughout Wassengburg.

Morris touched his nose, looked around, stood up on behalf of everyone, and smiled, "Don't worry, we won't ruin our own brand. So many pharmacists outside who are using our brand have been taken down by us. Don't worry."

A burst of laughter immediately came from the surroundings.

When they came to Wassengburg, many pharmacists liked to impersonate Doley's Wizard Tower's potions, but they were all well taken care of by Morris and Sano.

In general, Doley didn't worry about this kind of situation. He only cared about the inside of the Wizard Tower. There were plenty of idle people in the Wizard Tower for external affairs.

Doley nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's not talk about this now. Just do your job well and don't worry about the Wizard Tower's affairs. It's just these two things."

…

Watching Doley leave, Morris looked at Sano, then at the others. At this time, everyone was looking around, but most of the gazes were on the two of them.

There were also a few people who followed Doley the earliest, Dengke and Wardekai, but they were all technical talents, very serious about alchemy, and somewhat awkward in dealing with people.
