The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Glatte took a deep breath and sighed, "We outstanding youths of Wassberg are truly trash compared to you. Now that you've advanced to Level 5, I reckon there won't be many who dare to target you. Besides the Wizard Tower, what other plans do you have for calling me over this time?"

When Glatte heard Dole say he would give him the Wizard Tower, he knew Dole must have something in mind. As for what that idea was, he wasn't sure.

Dole nodded and said, "I plan to lay low for a while, and then go and occupy a place myself, be a lord or something. When the time comes, I'll need some manpower and such. My idea is to become a resource-center type of lord, developing from a potion-making base."

Hearing this, Glatte clicked his tongue and pondered. After a moment, he slowly said, "Although your idea is feasible, have you thought it through? Your current strength isn't enough to suppress a territory. Although you have two Wizard Towers, if someone at Level 7 or above troubles you, or a large force, they could still destroy your territory."

What Glatte wanted to say was, there are plenty of families who want to find you now. A title affects everything. Now that you're back, who knows how many people want to take advantage of you?

Dole pondered for a moment and said, "I've thought about that, so I'm not in a hurry right now. I plan to move out of here. You'll still be in charge of the Wizard Tower. Also, put the classroom inside this Wizard Tower, make this Wizard Tower independent, and rent out all the rooms to alchemists. As for the strength issue, I think I should be able to handle it in two or three years."

In another two or three years, Dole would save up some money and upgrade the Wizard Tower to Level 7. Then he wouldn't be afraid of anyone targeting him.

Hearing this, Glatte gasped, "You're trying to steal the Alchemist Guild's livelihood."

Dole's Wizard Tower was already a thorn in the Alchemist Guild's side. If he did this, wouldn't they go crazy?

Dole glanced at Glatte and snorted, "I'm not stealing their livelihood. I just want to make more money, that's all. Level 6 Wizard Towers are relatively simple, but for Level 7 Wizard Towers, the strength and number of wizard formations are doubled compared to now, and the materials needed are more complex. I estimate it will cost nearly 100 million gold coins for the two Wizard Towers, so I have to make money."

Glatte naturally knew the cost of a Wizard Tower, but he didn't expect that Dole was talking about upgrading two Wizard Towers to Level 7 at the same time, which was quite frightening.

Good heavens, his ambition was outrageous. With such a large capital chain, it was no wonder he wanted to gather more alchemists.

He sighed and said, "Since that's the case, let's settle the accounts then. To be honest, I never thought you could make so much money. Seventy or eighty million might be a lot to others, but it's nothing to you. The money earned from this war is basically enough for half of it."

Dole didn't expect Glatte to be so straightforward. Settling accounts was fine too. He could see how much he had earned this time.

The two sat at the table, with a large glass of water to replenish mental energy beside them.

Glatte sat upright at the table and took out three large notebooks from his storage ring.

"There are three aspects in total. The first aspect is merit points, which we won't talk about for now. The second aspect is the commission from the legion's rental, as well as other commissions from various sources. The third aspect is the commission you get from the alchemists. Although you only take one-tenth, the amount adds up a lot."

Glatte gave Dole a general overview of each notebook. He knew that this guy definitely wouldn't carefully check that much.

Dole really didn't want to know that much, he just wanted to know the final result, but since Glatte was willing to talk, he was willing to listen. After all, he had been helping him manage things for so long, he couldn't go against his good intentions.

About an hour later, Dole saw the final result. He didn't expect that he could get so much.

During this war, the City Lord's Mansion contributed the most, the nobles contributed a part, social sponsorships contributed a part, and there were also civilians. After a battle, the wealth accumulated by Wassberg for decades was wiped out. The economic strength was almost regressed by about fifteen years. The gold coins consumed were almost three or four hundred billion, which was a very exaggerated number.

Potions and alchemy accounted for a large part of this. Dole alone earned almost three or four hundred million, and he received a full thirty or forty million, not counting the merit points.

After this war, everyone in Dole's Wizard Tower made a fortune.

Glatte himself was a descendant of a noble family. After this war, he was directly promoted to Baron Level 2. After Dole's investigation, the empire gave him merit points equivalent to a Baron Level 1. Although it was only the lowest Baron, it was also an official recognition of his identity as an imperial noble. The merit points were divided into two parts, one from the legion and one from the Imperial Mage Corps, both of which he needed to apply for.

Only nobles have the qualifications to open up territories. Ordinary people don't have this qualification. Therefore, this Baron can be regarded as adding a little political capital to Dole, although he himself doesn't care.

In total, the merit points were almost nine thousand, and the assets were thirty-six million. This was the wealth Dole had after this war. In fact, according to Glatte, if he had personally participated in the war, he could have earned almost one hundred million, but unfortunately, he didn't.

After handing over the account books and putting everything in the basement, Dole was free to pick them up. Glatte was also relieved. He put his arm around Dole's shoulder and said excitedly, "Among the younger generation of our Orn family, only three people have official titles, and I am now one of them. Thank you so much this time."

Dole pushed his hand away, rolled his eyes, and said, "This is what you deserve. If you didn't have the ability, I wouldn't bother looking for you, so don't be polite with me. We all get what we need. Oh, right, what are Eugene's achievements?"

Glatte nodded and said, "Eugene also gained a lot. Why don't we all meet up? We haven't seen Aesch since she came back. We can talk about how to develop next. I heard that you two have advanced to Level 5. We two have to hurry up and go out to train."

Dole smiled and said, "Definitely, one's own strength is the most important thing. Everything else is external. If you two can go out together, I'll give you a set of flying tools."

Glatte waved his hand, "That's not necessary. There are some Level 3 and Level 4 Wizard Towers in the family that I can borrow." Glatte was also a tycoon, thinking, Dole, who do you look down on?

Dole smiled faintly and said, "Then I won't bother with you. What kind of potions do you want? I'll refine some for you later."

Glatte then smiled and said, "That's more like it, but there's no hurry. It's already the second half of the year. Oh, right, now that you're back, shouldn't you report to the Glory Wizard Alliance?"

Dole shook his head and said, "No need to report. Those who need to know already know. I'm going to be busy again these few days. I have to find a way to advance to Level 7 alchemist. After advancing to Level 5, I've run out of potions to use."
