The Witcher: Elemental Lords

The people around were immediately surprised. Generally, the emperor would personally handle such matters. Just as they were about to start discussing, Emperor Yale suddenly adopted a solemn expression and said gravely, "I am old and lack the energy to do many things. I will say a bit more today, but in the future, unless it's a major issue, don't come looking for me. George will be responsible from now on."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent, deathly silent, as everyone stared at Emperor Yale in disbelief.

Emperor Yale smiled faintly, then stood up and slowly walked towards the back.

The hall was as silent as death, as if one could hear the sound of a needle dropping on the ground. Everyone around looked at George.

George, wearing a smile, walked up the steps step by step. He didn't look back, but he could sense everything behind him. He stood up straight. After reaching the top, he slowly stood in the position next to where Emperor Yale had been sitting.

At this moment, everyone was shocked. The capital was really about to change.

In the hall, the members of the Edward family looked ashen-faced, frantically thinking of ways to make up for the mistakes they had made recently.

It was estimated that bleeding would be unavoidable. Otherwise, if this one gave an order, their family would suffer a severe blow, which would be a terrible thing.

George glanced at Emperor Yale, who was walking beside him. Emperor Yale smiled, signaling him to speak, and he would watch from the side.

George was greatly encouraged. He calmed his excited heart, settled down, and slowly began to speak, "There are many specific affairs of the empire, and we still need everyone's assistance. Please, everyone, speak freely."

"After all, Wizard Dole is from the Northern Empire and doesn't belong to our empire, but Mount Albis is in our empire, and he is now considered one of our people. The relevant documents have been submitted. The Ministry of Internal Affairs should do its best to handle this matter and not discourage those who are opening up territory outside."

The crowd nodded in agreement. The empire's territory had been expanding, but if the review process was so slow, who would have the financial resources to support the construction of a territory? Only after the empire officially conferred the title, through imperial allocations, local fundraising, and land sales, could they barely maintain it. Dole's Albis City relied entirely on his own land sales for support, which was already very commendable.

Originally, the Edward family wanted to delay the matter and wear Dole down, but they didn't expect that there were too many people supporting him, and the money was just enough to spend, which supported him until now.

At this time, a person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came out and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, after we return, we will do our best to compile the documents and strive to get the specific details of Mount Albis out by tomorrow morning."

"Your Highness, we will fully assist the Lord."

George looked at the people below with satisfaction.

...

On the road from the capital to Mount Albis, Glyte and the others were heading north, having already traveled halfway. They were not rushing at full speed, but rather walking and playing, experiencing life along the way.

At this time, under great pressure, Eugene took the lead in entering Level 5, and he had also matured a lot.

Under the tempering of the environment of the imperial capital, he successfully condensed his spirit and will, lacking only the final precipitation, which was now successful.

After the two of them entered Level 5, they also stimulated the others. After exchanging experiences, Leona was also close.

Jeline's foundation was more abundant than the three of them, but she didn't advance at this time, but she felt that she was a little faster than Leona. The tempering of her spirit and will was basically in place, and it should be almost time when they were about to reach Mount Albis.

The group of four, two Level 5 wizards and two Level 4 wizards, were traveling quite easily, without anyone disturbing them. Occasionally, they encountered a few magical beasts in the mountains, or a few bandits, which they easily dealt with.

Seeing more bloodshed naturally tempered their spirits and wills to be tough.

They didn't notify Dole, but were preparing to give him a surprise.

...

Mount Albis, Babel Tower.

Dole opened his eyes. Just now, George had sent a message that the matter of the conferral was almost certain, but he needed to go to the capital for the official conferral of the marquisate.

He frowned!

Looking around, the Storm Domain was now close to perfection and didn't need the Babel Tower to maintain it. When he went, he could take the Babel Tower with him.

The capital was full of experts. It wasn't good for him to send an avatar, so he could only go with his main body. Taking the Babel Tower could minimize the risk.

What made him strange was that after so long, that mysterious force had obtained so much information, but they hadn't come to cause trouble. It was really amazing.

Judging from the number of Level 6 experts they possessed, there shouldn't be few Level 7 experts either, but they hadn't come to create obstacles for him. It was really amazing. Could it be that they were going to do something when he went to the capital?

What Dole didn't know was that the force was planning to establish a country, and it also had to avoid causing a backlash from the surrounding areas. They were currently troubled, so they didn't have the leisure to deal with his affairs.

He only needed to manage his own little plot of land well. Why would others care what he did?

The biggest loss of population in the empire every year was death at the mouths of magical beasts. Every year, magical beasts attacked villages and cities, causing millions of deaths and injuries. Despite Dole's brilliant achievements here in Mount Albis, in other places, countless people still lived in fear of the magical beasts gathered around them.

Without highly skilled warriors or powerful wizards to guard them, people in many places could only pray that they wouldn't encounter magical beasts.

Dole also knew these things, so he tried his best to develop the wizard tower to protect his city.

In the future, when he had money, after turning the eight wizard towers into Level 7 towers, the range radiated by the wizard array would be wider, and then the area occupied would be even larger.

The current Mount Albis, with Albis City as the center, has expanded outward by almost a hundred kilometers. This is the area where the current population is concentrated. Humans reclaim the land and plant trees within the planned areas of the various towns, and everything is developing in a good direction. When the wizard towers are all upgraded to Level 7, they will basically be able to cover the entire western and southern regions of Mount Albis.

As for the eastern region of Mount Albis, he planned to ignore it for now, develop this side first, and then develop that side later. Anyway, no one would occupy his territory.

Thinking of this, he quietly waited for the conferral, and at the same time, he paid attention to the northwest passage with a part of his mental power. As long as magical beasts invaded, he would immediately activate the Storm Domain, and wizard spells such as lightning, wind blades, and wind spears would fly out of the Storm Domain to drive the magical beasts away or kill them instantly.

The current northwest passage, with the banks of the North Plain River as the boundary, has become a forbidden area for magical beasts.

Dole didn't do things too absolutely. The North Plain River still belonged to the magical beasts. After all, the number of magical beasts in that entire river was definitely not small, and it would be troublesome to deal with them. It was best to let them know fear and not dare to cross the line.

Everything was developing in a good direction.

With the arrival of summer, Albis City, thanks to the efforts of the various nobles, began to have a little bit of popularity. Around the town, around the small towns that had been opened up, there were already fields.

Humans are the most diligent. As long as they are safe enough, they will try every means to plant enough food to eat on the limited land.
