The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Dore rolled his eyes. "Are you a newbie? Do you even need to ask that?"

Then, he shook his head and said softly, "It's difficult for a wizard apprentice to advance, even more difficult than for a warrior. You and I both know this. What I can do, you might not be able to. My methods might not suit you, and I don't want to pry into your methods either. Besides, this is only our second meeting, and we don't have a foundation for cooperation."

He directly pointed out the key issue.

Lili sighed and nodded. "Then let's not talk about that. We'll have plenty of time in the future. Let's talk about Bundy's matter. Starting today, I'll have time every evening this month. Should we investigate together, or separately?"

Dore didn't like cooperating with others and immediately said, "Let's investigate separately based on the existing information. After five days, no matter how much we've learned, let's meet here again to discuss what to do next, alright?"

Being wizards, their minds reacted exceptionally quickly. Lili nodded immediately. That was what she had been thinking too. They didn't have a foundation of trust, so it was better to take it one step at a time.

Seeing her nod, Dore said, "Good, then let's leave first. We'll meet here on the 10th." He turned to leave.

Just then, Lili reached out and grabbed Dore's hand. He felt that familiar warm and soft sensation again.

Dore stopped, puzzled. She seemed to really like holding his hand!

Lili said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't have much disguise potion left. Could you sell me some? I'll pay you."

Feeling the warmth in his hand, Dore subtly squeezed it lightly and chuckled. "I thought you were going to do something. Disguise potion is very easy to make. I'll give you two jars."

He rummaged in his robes, took out two bottles, placed them in the girl's hand, then released her hand and quietly left.

The fact that she could come to him and that he had the ability to help was the first step in building trust.

Disguise potion was actually a cream, packed in small jars. It was very easy to make, but the ingredients were hard to find, especially for people living in the city.

Holding the disguise cream in her hand, Lili sighed in her heart as she watched Dore's departing figure.

She had originally planned to buy it, but she didn't expect him to just give it to her.

She owed him a favor. At the same time, she also learned a truth: he knew how to make potions. It was difficult to make disguise cream herself, but he offered to give it to her. Clearly, he had a talent for potion-making.

Seeing how young he was and how quickly he had advanced, he should also be able to make mental strength potions. She just didn't know where he got the herbs from.

If he could make mental strength potions, could she buy some from him?

Just thinking about the price of mental strength potions made Lili tremble.

The money she got from completing one Tier 2 mission was only enough to buy five bottles, and that was it.

Being a wizard was too expensive.

She didn't have the talent for practicing potion-making. Otherwise, with the basic potion-making knowledge passed down from her ancestors, she wouldn't have to worry about this.

…

After Dore went out, he changed into another set of clothes in another place. These were high-end goods he had bought for a gold coin. Unlike ordinary linen clothes, they were real silk clothes, cool and comfortable to wear, and felt great against the skin. He relied on these clothes to run around in the North District without fear of strict inspections.

Ordinary people couldn't afford this kind of clothes. Only the powerful and wealthy could afford them. This was common knowledge for every social class.

Having changed his clothes, Dore pretended to be a nobleman and quickly came to a wide avenue. On both sides of the avenue were the homes of nobles. Unlike the narrow alleys of the East District, each alley here could accommodate at least four or five carriages side by side, almost the same as Duomeng Avenue's main road.

Coming to the vicinity of the Bundy noble's residence, Dore hid in the shadows and carefully observed, comparing it with the information and verifying the details.

Nobles had the right to recruit soldiers. There would be many guards in the residence. With a wizard's keen senses, it was easy to feel the huge blood energy wandering around, so he didn't dare to get too close, fearing that he would be discovered. At this time, he somewhat envied Naruiye. He had obtained a cloak with extremely strong concealment abilities early on, and with his shadow talent, he could hide at any time.

"It would be great if I had a shadow talent or concealment equipment," Dore complained in his heart.

He had the elementary magic array studies that Baal gave him. As long as he was willing to put in the effort to learn, he would be able to make concealment equipment himself after becoming a high-level wizard apprentice. But now he was only an intermediate apprentice, and his mental strength couldn't even extend outside his body, let alone to the magic array pen. Magic array studies were simply impossible to use.

Dore didn't dare to stay near the noble's residence for too long. After confirming it twice and finding that it basically matched the information, he began to scout the surrounding terrain.

It had to be said that the security here was too good. The police patrolled layer upon layer. It was too difficult to kill someone here.

Dore felt incredibly棘手.

As an intermediate wizard and not an agility-based hunter or assassin, even reconnaissance felt somewhat difficult, let alone killing someone.

Soon, five days passed.

On the night of July 10th, Dore, wearing ordinary clothes, came to the slums and quickly met Lili. Today, she wasn't wearing the clothes that wrapped her up tightly. Instead, she used another face. If Dore's mental strength hadn't been keen and sensed that this person was Lili, he might have given her a sword out of the blue.

The newest novels are first published on Six/Nine Book Bar!

In the slums, Lili looked at Dore and sighed. "I investigated through another channel, and the information is indeed correct. It's just that the patrol is too dense in that area of the North District, making it difficult to kill him."

Dore also nodded and said, "If we were both advanced warrior apprentices, we might have a way, but our current strength is too weak."

Lili was somewhat surprised. Dore was indirectly saying that he was an intermediate warrior apprentice, revealing his background. But this guy, with his beautiful muscles and bronze skin, could be seen at a glance to be a warrior. Who would have thought he was a wizard?

She thought for a moment and said, "Advanced wizard is too difficult. I've been cultivating for three years and only just reached advanced wizard. It's said that those noble wizards advance very quickly, but even after reaching advanced wizard apprentice, advancement is still very, very slow. Advancing to a formal wizard is even more difficult."

Dore didn't care. He could make mental strength potions himself, and with his good talent, advancing to advanced wouldn't be difficult. The difficult part was not being discovered. The most difficult thing for wild wizards was not being discovered as a wizard.

"Let's not talk about that. What we're discussing now is how to kill Bundy. If we can't kill him in their house, then we can kill him outside. We can start with his activity route. Don't nobles have territories? We can strike on the road," Dore quickly changed his thinking.

"That's the only way. Bundy works for the Relief Society and has a fixed route to and from work every day. Occasionally, he'll be invited to other nobles' parties. We can only try our luck," Lili said. Although she was a killer, she didn't use her brain much.

The main government departments of Duomeng City were basically located in the central area of the city center. It only took a short time to return from the central area to the noble North District, and the roads in the middle were very wide, making it difficult to ambush them on the road. That's why Dore thought of waiting for him to go to his territory to strike.

Nobles all had territories. Although Duomeng City was a mountain city, there were still many small towns outside the city under the management of Duomeng City.

Just then, Lili said, "I have a way to scare animals. I used this method several times before to create chaos and then secretly kill the target."
