The Witcher: Elemental Lords

This person is so young, his future prospects of reaching Level 5 are definitely promising. Should we build a good relationship with him? Are Williams, Nicholas, and Nikkou blinded by greed?

He extended his hand, welcoming them with a smile. "Welcome, Wizard Dole. With the help of you intermediate apothecaries, the meeting should proceed smoothly."

Dole stepped forward, shook his hand, and then quietly retreated.

"Thank you, Director Paine. Dole will definitely do his best."

Paine looked at his expression, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. 'Do his best,' my foot. Just looking at your expression, one can tell you don't plan to put in any effort.

Paine stepped back, and Lamb stepped forward, greeting the other people from the Provincial Administration one by one.

After a while, under Lamb's deliberate introductions, Dole got to know these important figures.

Except for Waltz City's City Lord Waltz Stanton, who didn't come, the two Deputy City Lords, Meek of the Tracy Family and Walton of the Cecil Family, both came down, giving Lamb a lot of face. In addition, almost all the heads of the Provincial Military Department, the Provincial Police Department, and the Public Security Department were present. Dole got to meet all the big shots this time.

He focused on the people from the Military Department. This person was still from the Waltz Family, Waltz Wolfe, a very burly middle-aged man with a somewhat dark complexion and terrifyingly vigorous Qi and blood.

This was Fane's boss. When Dole looked over, the man nodded to him. Dole responded, while the others ignored him, which Dole didn't care about.

Anyway, he was just there to make up the numbers.

Soon, the meeting was over, and everyone went up to the second floor together, gathering in the large conference room of the Municipal Office Building.

After entering, they split into several factions. The people from each family sat together, the people from each force sat together, and the people from Ellengard Academy sat together.

Nikkou, Williams, Nicholas, Lamb, and Dole sat in a row. Today, they represented Ellengard Academy.

When they entered, there were three people sitting in the hall, who stood up at this moment.

Dole glanced at them. The one sitting in the middle was Waltz Stanton, the ruler of Waltz City.

The two people on either side of him were his deputies and advisors, both middle-aged men, one bald and the other wearing a magic robe.

Dole glanced at the three of them as he walked and then took his seat.

Everyone quickly sat down, and after a moment of silence, Stanton's deep and authoritative voice sounded, "Regarding the South Bay Swamp matter, more than two months have passed, and a more specific plan has yet to be produced. That's why I've gathered everyone together to discuss this matter face to face. Our opponent, Plenty City, has already begun building a city on the other side. If we are a few days later, I'm afraid we will fall behind."

As soon as Stanton finished speaking, the bald middle-aged man said, his voice rather shrill, as if he were speaking with his nose pinched.

"Today, we must come up with a plan no matter what. No force may shirk responsibility, or they will not leave this conference room door." His tone was somewhat stern, seeming a little angry.

Hearing this, Dole became somewhat baffled. What had happened in Waltz City these past few days?

Everyone fell silent. Less than ten seconds later, the other person wearing a magic robe stood up and said, "Let's vote on the location for the city now."

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall became a bit more serious.

Dole's mouth twitched. After all this time, they hadn't even settled on a specific location. These people were really slow.

He didn't have the right to vote, so he simply closed his eyes and began constructing the magic nodes for the Flame Shield spell in his mind. It would probably be a while before it was his turn to speak.

The meeting became serious at this time.

They had already had several discussions and debates about the new location. Today was just about finalizing the matter, and Lamb, as the Vice President of Ellengard Academy, had a vote in his hand, so he needed to be present.

The meeting proceeded in a very serious state. Soon, the vote count was completed, and it was decided which location it would be.

In the end, the location determined by the Provincial Administration won, and everyone glanced at each other, relieved.

After the location was determined, it was time to determine other plans, determine the detoxification methods, allocate manpower and resources. Almost every force began a new round of fierce debate for quotas.

What puzzled Dole somewhat was that few people had signed up to participate in the previous days, but this time they were directly snatching them up. Almost every family sent people out, and they were all geniuses, such as Willie and others who opposed Morris, who were the most outstanding youths of the Cecil Family.

The Cecil Family spared no effort. At the same time, there were also many candidates from the City Lord's Mansion.

They had argued countless times before, but this time they didn't argue for long. In the end, everyone got a share, since all families and forces had to contribute money and effort when building the city.

After the list was confirmed, it was time to confirm the specific plan. At this time, it was the turn of the three wizard forces to speak: the Apothecary Guild, the Glorious Wizard Alliance, and Ellengard Academy. Originally, there was also the Alchemist Guild, but in Waltz City, the Glorious Wizard Alliance represented the Alchemist Guild.

After determining the address, two of Ellengard's three immature plans were discarded, leaving one. At this time, the Glorious Wizard Alliance also put forward its own plan. The two were compared and fiercely debated.

Whose consumption was the lowest, whose effect was the strongest, and whose materials were the most cost-effective and easier to collect.

At this time, it was Dole's turn to step forward.

The Apothecary Guild and the Glorious Wizard Alliance were actually neutral organizations. The Glorious Wizard Alliance was a semi-official organization, while the Apothecary Guild was a purely neutral organization. Their participation this time was also for the establishment of a branch.

The Apothecary Guild was uniformly composed of older apothecaries, while the Glorious Wizard Alliance had almost everyone from both the alchemy and apothecary departments.

The president of the Apothecary Guild was Wallace, the only Level 5 apothecary in Waltz City. After discussing for a long time, he said at this time, "According to the standards of apothecaries, the strongest and best effect is naturally the most important. The South Bay Swamp is full of toxins, with countless heavy metals and small molecule poisons. I have looked at the plans of Ellengard and the Alliance, and after combining them with ours, the effects are similar. We only need to select the plan with the lowest consumption."

Nikkou opposed at this time, "Although the Apothecary Guild's plan consumes less, the materials are difficult to collect. The plan represented by our Ellengard can select a large number of basic materials as raw materials for the antidote. Although it consumes a little more, we can purchase the materials at any time. If we follow the Apothecary Guild's plan, we may lose more than we gain."

As for the Glorious Wizard Alliance, they couldn't get a word in at this time. They were used to spending lavishly, so they didn't have much to contribute to this plan.

Currently, only the plans of the two remained.

Stanton glanced around, and seeing the two arguing, he couldn't help but feel a headache. They were both good plans!

He thought for a while and said, "Since one consumes the least and the other is cheaper, why not adopt both? One is responsible for the southeast direction, and the other is responsible for the northwest direction. How about that?"

"You should first report the plan for each square kilometer, and then calculate the gains and losses later. Plenty City has already begun to build a city, and we can't fall behind others."

Wallace's expression was displeased. With Stanton's words, Ellengard would be giving up half of the benefits. How could that make people happy?

He immediately said, "Our Apothecary Guild can coordinate materials from all over, ensuring that we don't delay the opportunity. I'm afraid Ellengard Academy doesn't have this ability."
