The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Dolly estimated that it would take a month for the people from the Imperial Internal Affairs Office and the Northwest Internal Affairs Office to arrive, so there was no rush.

In fact, this was the process. Basically, everything was provided by himself. He only hoped that no one would cause any trouble for him, so that he could pass smoothly. Among the people here now, especially that guy Ayton, was the most likely to cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Dolly, sitting in the city lord's mansion, raised his head and shouted outside, "Someone."

A middle-aged man walked in from the door, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord City Lord."

Dolly glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Please ask the head of the Ayton family to come over. Just say I have something to discuss. Also, please ask that person from the Alexander family to come over as well."

Although the Glory Empire was harmonious internally, there were quite a few private struggles. The Alexander family was creating trouble for him, even wanting to mobilize the power of the Empire to exile Baal. This was simply intolerable.

The Xuan Corpse Worm and the Heavenly Frost Worm could even be handed over, but Baal could not be exiled. If the place of exile was a very dangerous world, wouldn't that be harming it?

The Alexander family was forcing him into a dead end. This was something Dolly could not tolerate.

The person at the door glanced at Dolly in confusion, pondered for a few seconds, and then replied, "Yes, Master."

Dolly smiled and looked at him, and said, "Be more polite. Just say I have something to discuss."

The man nodded, then excused himself and turned to leave.

Dolly watched his departing back, his face instantly turning gloomy.

This person was naturally one of the spies sent by the local faction. He brought this person to his side, also consciously wanting him to obtain some false information and then pass it on.

For example, now, he was clearly smiling and inviting people over, but in fact, he was preparing to suppress these two families. He knew the few pieces of land that the other party wanted, but he would definitely not give them. This was one of his strategies.

The right to sell land was entirely in his hands, and the Empire could not interfere. This was Dolly's current power.

...

In the Edward family's courtyard, after the news was delivered, Ayton sat in his seat and pondered for a moment.

He had naturally received news from the family as well, using the wizard's information channels. However, the situation in the Imperial Capital was relatively complicated. The Emperor's decision naturally had to have results, but it was uncertain how long it would take for the results to come out.

Their Edward family had naturally contributed and would try their best to delay the matter, and then find a way to obtain more territory.

Once Albis City was officially conferred and the roads were opened, it would become the most important commercial city in the north. Doing business here would be much better than in other places.

Therefore, some places must be taken down, especially some towns along the way. They had already taken down one, but the competition was too fierce in the other places, making it difficult for them to acquire them.

Why did Dolly call him over? Was he preparing to beg for mercy?

With that little guy's temper, probably not.

He thought for a while, didn't think too much, and then summoned his guards to escort him to the city lord's mansion.

Albis City had a group of wizard towers, so there shouldn't be any internal problems. However, there were outsiders coming here every day now, and the personnel were complex, so precautions must be taken.

He quickly arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion, which was around noon.

Arriving at the gate and getting off the carriage, he also saw another convoy arriving at the gate, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Riktor stepped out of the carriage and also saw Ayton at the gate. Both of them had very fast information channels, and they now knew why they were here.

Both of them felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Was Dolly warning them, or was he preparing to compromise? Given the other party's current strength, it should be a warning.

Ayton shook his head at Riktor, and Riktor walked over with a sullen face.

There were actually many people at the gate of the city lord's mansion. When Ayton walked over, the surrounding people looked over, after all, this was someone from the Imperial Capital. Among the families in Albis City, the Edward family had never even given face to the Rhine family.

The other was also a very powerful family. With the two families together, besides Dolly being able to deal with them, probably no one else would dare to oppose them.

Some people around wanted to get close, while others stayed far away.

The atmosphere at the gate of the city lord's mansion was somewhat quiet for a time.

Riktor had been frightened by Dolly once before and had long held a grudge in his heart, so this time he also brought someone behind him, a strongman sent by the family, a seventh-level warrior. Although he was not a wizard, his combat power was also very considerable.

He looked at Ayton and carefully said, "You also know the news?"

Ayton nodded and said, "Our Edward family's news is also very fast. The problem now is, what is Dolly going to do? His news should also be fast, after all, with the Third Prince around, he knows more than you and I."

Riktor thought for a while and didn't reveal the family's plan to target Dolly through the Glory Wizard Alliance, so he said, "The general situation is clear. The Internal Affairs Office is coming over to survey the terrain. It's probably just a formality. The specific survey data should be obtained directly from Dolly."

Ayton said, "Emperor Yale has already spoken. Now we can only delay. The matter is definitely settled. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's go in and see how Dolly plans to deal with us."

Riktor had a headache, so he nodded. Now he didn't know how much Dolly knew. If he knew everything, he estimated that his next step would be to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.

His mood was somewhat gloomy.

The two exchanged a few words and then walked into the city lord's mansion together.

The city lord's mansion had not been completed. The outside was still temporary, and the formal city lord's mansion behind was still under construction.

So the interior layout was cramped, and many departments were together.

Only Dolly occupied the entire top floor, which was his privilege.

The two of them led their people and quickly arrived at the top floor, standing at the door of Dolly's office.

The door was very, very quiet, completely different from the noisy hall below. At this time, the middle-aged man standing at the door looked at the two of them, didn't even look at how many people they brought, and directly smiled and said, "The master invites everyone to come in."

Ayton calmed down, glanced at Riktor, who was pretending, nodded, and the two of them led the way inside.

Ayton only brought two guards, who were relatively strong, both at the sixth level, while Riktor brought a seventh-level warrior. In this newly established Albis City, the combat power of these three guards can be said to be very high, almost representing a powerful force. This is the Great Northwest, not the Imperial Capital.

Dolly, who was writing at his desk, raised his head, focused his gaze on the door, and saw Ayton and Riktor coming in.

Riktor was frightened by him last time, but he hasn't been transferred back yet. What a miracle.

He glanced at the two of them, expressionless, didn't even get up, waved his hand casually, and said, "Please sit down, you two. Little Liu Zi, go prepare some drinks."

The middle-aged man standing at the door twitched the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard this address, and then respectfully said yes and left the gate.

Dolly swept his gaze over the guards behind the two of them, almost expressionless, even with a solemn expression, and slowly said, "The families of the two of you are truly full of talent. Sixth-level and seventh-level warriors can be casually brought out."
