The Witcher: Elemental Lords

"Let me accompany you. The magic towers in Waltz City are being contested by many civilian organizations, as well as our academy. If we can be faster than them, the benefits to the academy, and to you and me, will be even greater."

…

Outside the door, Nicholas and Williams' expressions turned gloomy. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with anger.

"Damn commoner."

Almost simultaneously, the two turned and left Lamb Tower.

The Alchemy Department and the Potion Hall have been at odds for a long time.

Not long after, Nicole received this news. Somewhat surprised, Lamb directly stopped the two. This matter seemed to be becoming more and more interesting.

The military headquarters didn't look for her, but they also didn't bypass her. She was aware of this matter.

She immediately gave instructions to have everyone in the academy cooperate with this operation, mobilizing all personnel when necessary.

If they could occupy a large area in the South Bay Marsh, the benefits it would bring to Waltz City, and even the academy, would be significant.

…

Inside the carriage, Dory and Lamb sat facing each other, with soft blankets beneath them. The carriage swayed as it moved, making people feel a bit dizzy.

The carriage window was wide open, and as long as they looked up, they could see the scenery on both sides: plains, mountains, and small rivers, slowly passing by behind them.

Behind the carriage, a small team of imperial soldiers rode tall, sturdy horses, wearing thick armor, following closely.

On the horses, lances hung on the left, and longswords on the right.

Leading the way was Fane.

At this moment, Fane walked alongside the carriage, his expression cheerful.

Because Dory and Lamb were personally going, his own chances had increased.

Actually, for detoxification, especially for mixed poisons, the Pharmacist Guild and the Alchemist Guild had a slightly better chance of winning, but Fane was still very happy because, among the various poisons used initially, at least Dory was stronger than others in the three toxin principles of the Cicada lineage, and this type of toxin was most abundant in the soil of the South Bay Marsh.

"How much further?" In the constantly swaying carriage, Dory felt somewhat depressed. The road conditions were a bit poor, and he couldn't even manage shallow meditation.

Fane's deep voice rang out, "Don't worry, it will take another day to arrive, around this time tomorrow."

Dory felt a headache coming on.

Wasting time is equal to wasting life, as that great man said.

He looked at Lamb opposite him and decided to shift his thinking, "Lord Lamb, when did you construct the second-level spell model?"

Lamb opened his eyes and said with a faint smile, "What, are you going to break through to become a second-level wizard?"

Dory nodded and said, "My meditation technique is very special, possessing a very large amount of magical power. Logically speaking, I should be able to construct a second-level wizard now, so I would like to ask for your guidance."

Lamb was very pleased. This guy finally asked a serious question.

"Coming from zero-level wizardry, what have you discovered?" He pondered for a moment and asked in return.

Dory thought for a while and summarized his planar, detached, and previous spell model changes.

Lamb nodded and said, "The construction of spell models is the greatest achievement in the history of wizards. It originated tens of thousands of years ago from humanity's exploration of the abilities of magical beasts, and then slowly developed. You also noticed that the spell model of a zero-level wizard is planar, but have you not discovered that among the many spell nodes in the spell model, only a small part is related to the function you want to use? Most of the functions are actually in another direction?"

Dory thought carefully, frowning, and said, "Indeed, the Hand of Burning has a total of thirty-six nodes, of which only six are related to fire."

Lamb smiled, "The functions of the other thirty nodes are actually mental affinity, physical protection, and distinguishing between friend and foe."

The spell model of the Hand of Burning instantly appeared in Dory's mind. In an instant, he suddenly understood something.

Reading books a thousand times is not as good as a word from a sage.

He suddenly opened his eyes and sighed, "Thank you, Magister Lamb."

Lamb shook his head, "Analyzing the function of spell nodes is the basic work of a wizard. Even if I don't tell you today, you will discover it yourself in a while." He paused and said, "In formal wizardry, the function of spell nodes is mostly similar to secondary, but most formal wizardry is long-range attack, so the nodes for protection and distinguishing between friend and foe will be completely removed, leaving only the nodes that enhance the wizardry's attack."

"This is first-level wizardry, and second-level wizardry is more complex than first-level wizardry. It adds a method of node exchange and node replication. You have many spell models, and you should have also seen the complexity of second-level wizardry."

Dory closed his mouth, the names of node exchange and node replication constantly appearing in his mind.

Replication, exchange, the world before Dory suddenly became clear.

"So that's how it is. Damn it, being taught by a teacher and not being taught by a teacher are indeed two different worlds." Dory regretted not asking earlier.

"I understand, thank you, Wizard Lamb."

In the meditation of the Child of Elements, there is only the construction and introduction of spell models, without many basic concepts of wizardry, so Dory has been stuck in a fixed mindset.

With Wizard Lamb saying this, he understood how second-level wizards actually play.

He almost immediately closed his eyes and began to experiment with the nodes.

Throughout the day, Dory didn't say another word.

At night, they rested, heavily guarded, and spent the night in the wilderness away from the city.

The wilderness was terrifying. After nightfall, roars could be heard from time to time. Outside the campfire in the camp, bright green and blue lights could be seen in the distance from time to time.

Those were all terrifying creatures living in the wilderness.

The soldiers had strong blood and energy, and they took turns guarding, so no one dared to attack.

In the latter half of the night, Dory slowly walked out of the tent and walked outside.

The guarding soldiers immediately noticed him and stepped forward to stop him.

Dory shook his head and said, "I'm going out to test some magic. Don't follow me, it wouldn't be good if you were accidentally injured."

The soldier immediately stopped, somewhat puzzled. A first-level wizard could accidentally injure me? What a joke.

However, when Dory walked twenty meters away and could only see a black shadow, he saw that a strong magical fluctuation suddenly surged from the other person's body, and dozens of fireballs suddenly appeared around him, smashing into the darkness.

The speed at which these fireballs appeared was very fast. He didn't see him use gestures to guide them, nor did he see him use spells. They appeared in the blink of an eye.

The fireballs smashed into the distance silently, but dozens of almost inextinguishable flames appeared on the ground, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

Dory did this to avoid disturbing others, only testing the adhesive burning. If he used explosions, everyone probably wouldn't be able to sleep.

After the fireballs were released, he was already happy.

Success, rapid-fire multiple fireball technique.

These fireballs seemed to appear together, but they actually had two mother bodies, and then split into eight fireballs. His experiment was successful.

He officially entered the second level.

The camp was silent, no one was affected, except for the guarding soldiers, and Lamb, who was disturbed by the magical fluctuations. Only the wild beasts in the distance fled in panic and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Several soldiers looked at each other, filled with fear for this young wizard who couldn't be younger.

Such a swift, such a fierce second-level wizard, and in such a large quantity, this had already exceeded the scope they could handle. If he had changed the burning to explosion, I'm afraid that with one magic, their entire squad would be seriously injured.
