The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Jefferson sat in the main seat, radiating authority without anger.

"Smith, do you really think that the City Lord of Dole doesn't care about anything?"

The middle-aged man, Smith, stood below, smiled slightly, and slowly opened his mouth, "The fact that I can get to where I am now is enough to explain everything. I am now your deputy, and I have this project in hand, and it was proposed by a noble family of the empire. They will provide many opportunities to Albis City. Once it's gone, it's gone. I also want to seize this opportunity."

Jefferson sneered, "Smith, everyone knows how you got to where you are now. I'll say it again, if you want to misappropriate funds, if you want to sell that piece of land to someone else, if you want to misappropriate that portion of funds, I advise you to think it over carefully. Moreover, I only have one-third of the rights to that fund. If you want to move it, you still have to persuade others. The families in the imperial capital, whether it's the Edward family or any other family, the Dole Wizard doesn't care much about."

Hearing this, Smith sneered inwardly.

Dole indeed doesn't care. He's already at level eight, who would he care about? Unless a level nine makes a move, otherwise no one can do anything to him. He has already tried to bribe most of the officials in the commercial department. As long as he can get his hands on this fund, he can continue to蚕食 these officials and try to corrupt Mount Albis.

The public opinion of Dole has already been slightly shaken by them. The formulation of some policies has already touched the interests of ordinary people, so they have to continue to test the waters.

"Then I won't trouble you to worry. You just need to agree, and you know what will happen after it's done," Smith said nonchalantly.

Jefferson grunted. Their family was among the first to dislike Dole. Hearing this now, his heart stirred slightly.

The other party wants to stir up trouble in Albis City. Last time, a baffling policy was suddenly introduced, almost causing many people to fight. Now this is happening again, I'm afraid there's a problem?

But even if others agree, what can I do if I disagree?

He nodded slightly and said, "Tomorrow is the routine meeting. As long as this matter is passed at the meeting, I have no problem."

...

Erlaya likes to play outside, but now that she is pregnant, she can only sigh as she looks outside.

There are still dozens of days before she can unload, how annoying.

She can only use her clone to play, but the clone doesn't have the feeling of the original body, and Dole has to do experiments, really.

She thought about it and still could only send her clone out. She had to find Ash and the two children to see who among them would go out.

Erlaya's clone condensed successfully and quickly came to Ash's door.

Ash's door was tightly closed, as if he was in seclusion as well.

Erlaya was a little angry, so she came to Monica's room door.

The City Lord's mansion is not a place where just anyone can come, nor is it only for those officials. Monica and Brian have some children, teachers, etc., who can also come in after obtaining the butler's consent.

At this time, in Monica and Brian's courtyard, several young boys were either sitting, or趴着, standing in the courtyard, seeming to be frowning.

Good heavens, these two little guys are so popular. They've only been back for a short time, and friends are already coming to their door.

However, she saw that these friends were also the more outstanding children of those families, with decent character. There were also two commoner children inside, who seemed a little inferior and fearful.

At this time, Monica was sternly questioning one person.

"That's impossible. Daddy wouldn't do this. Daddy wouldn't care about these things at all. Who agreed to them doing this?"

Although Monica is only three and a half years old, under the onslaught of Dole's life essence, she now seems to be six or seven years old. Her learning and knowledge are no less than that of a teenage girl.

At this time, she was very angry.

Standing in front of Monica, a boy of about six years old spread his hands and said helplessly, "Princess Monica, that's just the way it is. The few of us have already been separated from Seventh and Eighth Brother for schooling. The teacher has also been transferred away. The current teacher is a jerk. He even touched Ava's butt a few days ago."

Hearing this, Monica's face darkened, seeming even more angry.

She had only been gone for half a year, how did things become like this when she came back?

Brian is still a little younger now, but he also objects somewhat, "Daddy wouldn't do such a thing. Did Uncle Anderson and the others do it? This is very unfair to the commoners."

"If it wasn't City Lord, who would dare to issue such an order?" Another child said.

The children suddenly fell silent.

Monica was very angry. These were all her good playmates at school. As soon as she came back, she heard about everyone being separated, which was really distressing.

Seventh and Eighth Brother were the two commoner children who were standing in the corner, not daring to say a word.

Hearing this, Erlaya seemed to understand what had happened, feeling a little novel. No wonder Dole had said a few days ago that some things were going to happen in the city, how fun.

But it seems that what Dole said was fun, had a great impact on these children.

Erlaya frowned.

No wonder her royal father had always said that a ruler must be cautious in every word and deed, otherwise it would affect tens of millions of people. Dole didn't do anything, but others moved their hands and feet, affecting the lives of nearly tens of thousands of people.

Although these tens of thousands of people are only a small part of the city.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

She didn't go in, but changed her clone's appearance and walked towards the outside of the city. She planned to take a look outside.

As a princess of a country, although Erlaya usually doesn't care about anything, she also has a lot of knowledge in her belly.

In this world, princesses can also become emperors if they have the opportunity.

...

After Dole's clone finished processing the metal, he stopped processing the materials.

High-level materials have very high precision requirements, and there can't be the slightest carelessness. He can forget about participating in experiments this month.

But that's okay, he can do other things.

In the half year that he was away, many things actually happened. Those people conducted an all-round infiltration of his current industries, the city's management, economic corruption, mines, and smelting plants, all had their hands in it.

They didn't succeed in the mines and smelting plants, but they placed a lot of people inside. After all, that was the territory of his few little slaves. Without his personal message, they wouldn't listen to anyone except Glait and Eugene. As for the political, commercial, industrial, and agricultural aspects, these people infiltrated quite powerfully.

Mount Albis is a city mainly based on agriculture. Mines are just a side business, and there are no industries in the academy or tourism. Relying on their powerful abilities, these people have almost raised the price of food here by a full 10% in half a year.

Although it's only 10%, don't underestimate this 10%. This is enough to have a great impact on the income of the grassroots people.

If the price of food rises by 10%, the price of making it into food will be 50% higher, and the living standards of the city's people will rapidly decline.

After autumn passes and winter arrives, these people are still trying to raise the price of food a little bit. It is estimated that some people will not be able to survive.

Dole's heart had long been cold. No matter who it is, anyone who opposes him must die.

Ivy is not in the city. Apart from the Glory Wizard Alliance, Dole only has one person left, not even a confidant. But this does not hinder Dole's ability to suppress everything.
