The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Having temporarily resolved the issue of medicinal herbs, Dole returned to prepare for a meeting, tasking the students with assigning representatives to handle the matter, without his interference.

Until now, the students had been discussing and resolving their issues independently, with Dole generally uninvolved. However, it now seemed necessary to establish positions and create departments for separate management. Constantly relying on the same few individuals was becoming unsuitable, as they also needed to earn money through potion making.

Dole pondered this for a moment, deciding to call a meeting.

...

Winter passed, and spring arrived. As a hint of green began to appear on the barren land, the Glory Wizard Tower, along with all wizarding forces in Wassenberg, received news: the newly arrived Dole Wizard Tower was preparing to offer courses in the traditional teaching style, recruiting students for three levels of instruction: Level 3 Alchemist courses, Level 4 Alchemist courses, and the most advanced Level 5 Alchemist courses.

The Level 3 Alchemist courses would be taught by Morris and others, while the Level 4 and Level 5 Alchemist courses would be personally taught by Dole.

This news caused an uproar throughout the wizarding world of Wassenberg.

Those who knew Dole were eager to try, while those who didn't wondered who this person was, daring to open courses with such fanfare under the Alchemist Guild's nose, putting its various alchemists to shame. Moreover, directly offering Level 5 Alchemist courses suggested a plan to mass-produce Level 5 Alchemists. It should be known that Level 5 and above alchemists were extremely rare in Wassenberg. Once a Level 4 alchemist advanced to Level 5, their value would immediately skyrocket.

Wassenberg had hundreds of Level 4 alchemists, but only a few dozen Level 5 alchemists, and even fewer Level 6 alchemists. Level 7 alchemists could be counted on one hand, demonstrating the rarity.

Dole's Level 5 course plan caused a sensation among all the wizards in Wassenberg.

At this time, all the major forces were shocked, secretly thinking that Dole's counterattack had begun.

...

Andrew stood on the streets of Wassenberg, a calm expression on his face. In his mind, even the most prosperous areas of Wassenberg couldn't compare to a tenth of the Imperial Capital.

Beside him, Andre stood idly, looking around.

Next to the two, there was also a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, who looked at Wassenberg with a somewhat displeased expression.

Anyone who had come here from the bustling Imperial Capital would feel the same way.

The three walked straight towards the Glory Wizard Alliance, their purpose clear.

At the same time, within the Glory Wizard Alliance, they began monitoring the three, as the Glory Wizard Alliance had to respond to the arrival of three powerful wizards.

Soon, Dole also received this news.

"People from the Rose Merchant Guild are here?"

Dole was concocting potions while his mind wandered.

Beside him were many Level 4 students, observing Dole concocting Level 5 potions. Dole was now doing everything he could to improve the students' strength.

After finishing a potion and explaining the entire process, he sighed and said, "Concocting Level 5 potions requires more precise mental control and a greater understanding of the medicinal properties. If you can't do these things well, then you'll be a Level 4 alchemist for the rest of your life."

Beside him, many Level 4 alchemists felt ashamed, because they were lacking in the things Dole mentioned.

Morris chuckled awkwardly, "Lecturer, we still need to practice your vortex method more. Our mental control is still lacking."

Bernard's mouth twitched. He looked at the others, who all had pale faces.

Only one petite woman had a confident look on her face.

Dole also noticed this woman, and he smiled faintly, "It seems that only Vasa's skills are a bit better."

Everyone turned their attention to Vasa, who lowered her head shyly.

Rosa was also present, acting as Dole's assistant, putting all the potions into bottles once they were completed.

Dole didn't care how much they had learned. He had taught what he needed to teach, and how much they learned was up to them. However, it now seemed that most people were lacking in mental control.

This required long-term practice and couldn't be achieved in a short period of time.

Morris and Bernard exchanged a glance, determined to practice the vortex method well when they returned.

The others felt the same way.

Dole beckoned to Vasa and said, "You will be my assistant for the next few days, and strive to enter Level 5 as soon as possible."

Vasa was stunned, then overjoyed, and nodded frantically.

The others showed disappointed expressions.

Dole turned his head and solemnly glanced at the others.

"You all need to train hard and strive to improve your mental control and advance to Level 5 as soon as possible. There are more Level 4 alchemists in Wassenberg than dogs on the street. If you still don't make progress, I'm afraid resources will not be so easy to obtain."

"Yes, Lecturer."

After the lesson, Dole returned to his room.

"Andrew and Andre have come. These two guys are both Level 3, and their strength is only average, but beside them, the fair-skinned old man is quite strong. What are they here for? Are they planning to force me to hand over the formula?"

Dole stroked his chin, thinking about various plans.

Since the Glory Wizard Alliance hasn't forced me, it's estimated that the Third Prince should restrain himself a bit now. It should just be cooperation. If it's coercion, hehe.

He thought to himself that it was best to cooperate, otherwise, don't blame him for turning his back.

Having been in the Glory Empire for so long, Dole felt that he only owed Lamb a favor. He had already repaid or discarded the favors of others, so there weren't many favors to speak of.

After closing his eyes and practicing for a long time, Dole still didn't wait for Andrew and Andre to come to his door. Instead, he received another message.

The message was from Molly. She could come out and wanted to meet him alone.

Dole didn't actually have much time. He had to seize every moment to cultivate, concoct potions, and master spell models. He didn't have much free time.

If it was Molly, he would be willing to spend some time. If he could get her out and place her in his wizard tower, it would be perfect.

Thinking of the bits and pieces in Domon County, Dole still felt nostalgic.

That was a tragic period in his life, also the most difficult, and only Molly accompanied him through it. Dole had a place for her in his heart.

Thinking of this, he tidied himself up slightly and went out.

Wassenberg in spring was more lively than in winter. It was now late March, close to April. Although it couldn't compare to the spring blossoms in the south, it was still full of greenery and vitality.

Tall trees could be seen everywhere on the streets, now sprouting new buds, and the whole world was full of life.

The place the two had agreed on was just a small beverage shop with various drinks.

Soon, Dole arrived and found the private room, slowly walking inside.

Only Molly was inside.

Molly stood up from her seat, looking at Dole with a slightly excited expression. She came to Dole's side.

Dole was also a little excited, not knowing what to say. They hadn't seen each other for so many years, and they had both grown a lot.

For a moment, after meeting, they didn't know what to say.
