The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Knowing his penmanship was lacking, Dorai prepared to learn calligraphy as a roundabout way to solve the problem.

Since he knew where the problem lay, he needed to find a way to fix it; that was his consistent principle.

However, a month would soon pass, and he needed to go to the city to complete his transactions with Old Mi and Lily, as well as buy some paper and pens.

He wanted to study calligraphy diligently to achieve perfect control of the pen.

After discussing this matter, Victor said that he and the others also needed to go to the city to sell the furs and herbs they had accumulated before the snowfall, and then buy some charcoal, farm tools, and repair damaged bows and swords, etc.

Although the village could also repair some things, the methods were too crude, not as perfect as the blacksmiths in the city.

Going to the city alone was too dangerous; there were twenty kilometers of mountain road, and no one knew what could happen.

After some discussion, they decided to leave on the third day; Dorai could only endure for three days.

On the fourth day, a total of six horse-drawn carriages crossed the bridge at the entrance of the village and entered the official road.

Once it snowed in the mountains, the roads were basically covered in snow.

The village didn't have horses; they all used oxen to pull the carts, and coupled with the slippery road, they moved very slowly.

They set off just as the sky was brightening in the morning, and safely arrived at the city gate at two or three in the afternoon.

After registering at the city gate, everyone did what they needed to do; Dorai also prepared to do his own thing.

He had to go see Old Mi first.

Dorai, dressed in animal skins, appeared at Future Pharmacy.

Old Mi recognized Dorai at a glance and invited him to the back.

It was still the beginner-level mental strength potion, exchanged for some ordinary tools, and of course, money.

This time, he had accumulated quite a bit, receiving about 50 gold coins, and after deducting the cost of purchasing medicinal materials, he had about 30 gold coins in hand.

After completing the transaction with Old Mi, Dorai relaxed and waited for the evening.

He and Lily had agreed that if they missed the time, they would wait until the evening; she would go home, and he could wait for her on the road.

Lily worked as a servant for the Lake family, the work was easy, and she had recently been promoted to a minor manager, so she had a little more free time.

On the way, he bought a batch of paper, pens, and ink, buying a large pile.

Soon, it was evening, and he quietly waited at the intersection.

Soon, he saw Lily walking alone from the main road; the two then left together, quickly entering a small alley and arriving in front of a house.

Lily opened the door, and the two immediately went inside.

Dorai glanced around; the house was very deserted, with no signs of anyone living there.

Obviously, this was just a front, or rather, another location.

While opening the door, Lily whispered, "If you don't see my signal in the future, come here; I will be doing alchemy here at night."

Dorai was shocked; was this person so trusting of him?

Dorai nodded and said, "I have five bottles of level two mental strength potion, all reserved for you; I need magic crystal residue."

This time it was Lily's turn to be surprised; Dorai could refine level two mental strength potions so quickly?

If he had mental strength potions, wouldn't his strength be stronger than her own?

She only glanced at Dorai and didn't think too much, but sighed.

Dorai was puzzled.

The two passed through the courtyard and entered the room.

Lily took out a small bag and handed it to Dorai, "Although I have been promoted, I actually have fewer opportunities to come into contact with magic crystal residue; I only get this much a month now."

Dorai was a little dazed.

Cadia had given him some last time, plus what Lily gave him, allowing him to stay quietly in the mountains for more than a month.

If there weren't enough magic crystals, then he would have to find another way.

He subconsciously thought of the black market.

Sure enough, just as Baal had said, what restricted apprentices was indeed energy items like magic crystals.

He frowned and sighed, "Then exchange the rest for money; I'll go to the black market in a few days to see if they have any."

Lily was shocked, but there was nothing she could do, "That's all we can do.

Do you want me to accompany you?"

Dorai shook his head, "Don't expose yourself; continue the transactions as normal in the future."

Lily nodded.

Dorai didn't stay long and prepared to leave.

At this time, Lily gave him a pendant.

"This is something I made myself; it has a certain stealth function.

Although it's not perfect, just use it for now."

Dorai took the pendant, looked at it, and then looked at Lily with some surprise; this person's alchemy level wasn't bad!

Generally, this kind of beginner-level alchemical item would cost at least fifteen gold coins, the price was very high, although the effect was average.

Dorai looked at Lily, looked at her seriously, and said, "Then I'll accept your kindness."

Lily sighed and said, "We wild wizards without any background can only rely on ourselves, rely on friends; I'm also doing it for myself."

There wasn't much emotion between wizards; they were all doing their own things.

Dorai understood this, he didn't dare to chat with Lily too much, afraid of being discovered, and quickly left the courtyard.

Now that he had bought everything he needed, next was to return to the rented house, stay for one night, and return to the village tomorrow.

He now deeply knew that in the Northern Kingdom, the government was indeed the biggest enemy of wild wizards.

Therefore, he was now full of endless interest in the micro magic crystal mine that Baal had discovered.

As long as there were magic crystals, he could continue to experiment and improve his shortcomings in wizardry.

Wizardry was a profession that greatly required knowledge and a lot of practice.

No matter how much one memorized, it ultimately needed to be transformed into tangible objects, or transformed into practical things, to be truly mastered.

Returning to the rented house, Dorai prepared to rest for the night.

The key to the house had not been returned to Harley, it was still in a rented state, anyway, it didn't cost a few silver coins a month.

Having been away for a month, he didn't know how the situation in the city was.

Dorai actually didn't like the current state, the news was too blocked.

Now that the magic crystal mine had officially begun to be mined, the major forces must have compromised almost enough, otherwise, with the interests of magic crystals, it would be difficult to keep people from being tempted.

What he wanted to know most now was how the investigation into the death of the Third Master of the Owen family was progressing?

Just as he was resting, Cadia had received the news and came through the snow to the alley outside Dorai's place.

He had found out about this place from Harley, and he would come over and take a look every day.

Dorai hadn't notified him when he left, so Cadia didn't know anything.

Arriving at the door, just taking a look, Cadia's eyes lit up; this guy was back.

He stepped forward and quietly knocked on the door.

Dorai was standing and tidying up his things, hearing the knock, he was immediately delighted.

Only Harley knew about this place, he thought Harley had come.

Opening the door and seeing Cadia, Dorai's smile immediately cooled down.

Seeing Dorai's expression, Cadia smiled, "Are you very disappointed, Harley didn't come."

Dorai stepped aside and said, "Come in."

Cadia slowly walked in, looking around, this place hadn't been lived in for a long time.

He directly said, "How do I find you in the future?"

Dorai closed the door, looked at Cadia, and said somewhat cautiously, "What do you want to find me for?"

What he was thinking was, you better stay away from me.
