The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Maurice's eyes lit up, and he quickly understood which meditation technique to choose.

He coughed, pushed Bernard aside, and immediately shouted loudly, "I want that earth element wizard tower, don't compete with me."

Only then did everyone realize that money is nothing, just a bastard thing; at worst, they could just work harder to practice potion making.

"I want the lightning element one, don't fight with me for it." Sano shouted immediately, his talent was actually more inclined towards the lightning element.

"I want the wind element one."

…

The hall suddenly became lively.

Rosa felt gratified seeing this.

After so much time, they finally had their own place. Under Dole's influence, they had long been accustomed to wizard towers. Wizards without wizard towers always felt like they were living under someone else's roof. Now that her brother was about to have his own wizard tower, she felt much more at ease.

She thought of Dole, and then of Ash, sighing softly with a hint of resentment.

…

The Lant Family.

In the family conference room, Hayden sat at the head, with the others sitting below.

There were only four people in the conference room, and they were the absolute core of the family: the leader of the wizard side, the leader of the warrior side, and the leader in charge of the family's business.

Hayden tapped the table and said slowly, "You all know the news. What are your thoughts now?"

The one in charge of the family's business was Hunter. At this moment, his eyes gleamed, and he had a million thoughts in his mind, but he didn't want to say them. He said slowly, "Hayden, isn't it a little too early to talk about this now? The Albis Mountains still have at least three level sevens. Even if Dole is powerful, it will take some time to conquer them, and he will need the cooperation of the Glorious Wizard Alliance and the military. It won't be that easy."

The information they received was not accurate. Their understanding of Dole was still based on previous intelligence, and they did not know about the wizard tower cluster.

However, they knew about the existence of the Gold Corpse. The existence of the Gold Corpse was a huge threat to all families.

Gergier, the leader of the wizard side, shook his head and said, "Hunter, you are not a wizard, you don't understand how wizards operate. Since he can defend against the attacks of two level six undead wizards, I am sure that he has more powerful weapons, or rather, confidence. Although the news now only comes from the Glorious Wizard Alliance, who knows if they are telling the truth or lies."

Apton, the leader of the warrior side, nodded at this time, "It's different from using the Gold Corpse to ambush and kill three level six assassins on the street. In a frontal battle, the Gold Corpse's combat power is not strong, especially when facing undead wizards, it is naturally restrained. Therefore, I also believe that he has other trump cards."

Hunter frowned. He was good at business, but he didn't quite understand the combat aspect.

Hayden nodded, confirming Apton and Gergier's statements, "He must have other trump cards. Rumor has it that he has a level seven partner. He didn't appear in this battle, and the introduction was vague. There must be a problem."

Gergier said, "The problem now is, if we want to target that Dole, now that he is confirmed to be in the Albis Mountains, should we reconcile or send people to disrupt the situation? That's the question."

Apton shook his head, "We can't reconcile anymore. Now it's either just ordinary cooperation or being opponents. However, I don't think our two families can be opponents. If we don't send out level sevens, we can't take him down now."

Gergier, as the leader of the wizard side, was also a level seven himself. At this time, he said, "The cost of sending out level sevens is too great. Once we alarm the Glorious Wizard Alliance, our family can't afford the consequences."

Within the Glorious Empire, there is an unwritten rule that all things can be done excessively, including nobles fighting for territory, recruiting personnel, and seizing resources. These are all tolerated because they are within the noble rules. However, deploying combat personnel above level seven is absolutely not allowed.

Combat personnel above level seven can only appear on external battlefields; otherwise, it will trigger the personal sanctions of the Glorious Wizard Alliance's enforcement team and the Royal Wizard Tribunal within the empire.

This is very terrifying. The Imperial Mage Corps' enforcement team and the Royal Wizard Enforcement Tribunal's personal sanctions are carried out by the most outstanding wizards in the empire, who are also the most skilled in tracking and assassinating. Those who come out are invariably level seven wizards, and their strength is unusually terrifying.

Hunter's tone became slightly solemn when he heard this, "Then we can only wait for news from the black market, hoping that the so-called mysterious organization can take down the other party. Otherwise, we can only switch to cooperation. In fact, cooperation is also possible. Our Lant Family can continue to monopolize the brewing industry in the new city, as long as that Dole doesn't mess around."

Hayden looked at Hunter and said, "You have always been responsible for intelligence. The reason I called everyone here this time is to discuss a proper method, both cooperation and competition."

Apton had another idea at this time, "Family, gentlemen, I don't think we need to be so tense. So far, the focus of our conflict is not on life and death, but on competition. Now that Dole has run to the Albis Mountains, isn't it a bit much to still regard him as a competitor? The Albis Mountains are more than three thousand kilometers away from here."

Hearing this, Hunter and the other two were stunned.

…

The Rhine Family, the main conference room.

The latest and most complete novels are available on 6 9 Shuba!

Many people attended the meeting, basically all the important figures were there, except for a few people from the military department who were still outside and didn't have time to return.

The military personnel responsible for the city defense were present, the others were from the wizard side, the business side, and the intelligence side.

This meeting was an ordinary family meeting, so everyone was not very serious after receiving the news.

DeLied sat at the head, looking at everyone with a smile, "Everyone, what are your thoughts? According to the news from Ash, the Albis Mountains are already within our Northwest Province's territory, a sure thing."

Hearing this, the people below immediately erupted.

The Albis Mountains are a very large area. If the Albis Mountains are conquered, the territory of the Northwest will indeed increase again.

Most importantly, it opens up the passage to the Northern Three Provinces, saving merchants and other travelers dozens of days of travel.

Offel, as a leader among the younger generation, was also sitting in the conference room at this time. He said in disbelief, "Uncle, is this information from Ash?"

DeLied glanced at Offel, nodded, and said, "For now, our Rhine Family's intelligence is the most accurate, because Ash was personally present. The intelligence from others mostly comes from the Glorious Wizard Alliance, so the news will be somewhat censored. I'm not convenient to say more about the specifics. The core content of today is how to manage the Albis Mountains. I need everyone to come up with a proper plan, whether it's building a city or matters related to the business territory."

At this time, Robert, who was in charge of business, stood up and stated loudly, "Patriarch, I think the matter of the business territory should be put on hold for now. The specific situation is still unknown. Dole occupies the Albis Mountains, where to build a city, where to build roads, we know nothing. Isn't it too early to talk about this now?"

DeLied shook his head, "It's not too early at all. Once Dole occupies the Albis Mountains, the next step is naturally to choose a location, build roads, and build a city. With his execution, I estimate it will be faster than we think. Therefore, now we either directly participate in it, or we plan ahead, so as not to let others take the lead. As far as I know, the Orn Family is already preparing a trade caravan. According to Ash, Krista will stay here, but most of the people will go there, leaving only a small portion of people here in the future."
