The Witcher: Elemental Lords

#40 - Exposure and collaboration

Back on the wide avenue, Dorai had already disguised himself as Lin Rui, carrying a large bundle on his back and a woodcutter's knife at his waist. His sturdy build made him look like someone not to be trifled with.

Soon, he arrived at the city gate.

Just then, Barr tugged at his pants, glancing towards the city wall.

Dorai looked at Barr, then followed his gaze to the city wall, where several large notices were posted. Many people were looking at them, and some were reading them aloud, informing those who couldn't read about what had happened.

Dorai only glanced at them, quickly reading the contents, and a chill ran down his spine.

The notice stated that two black wizards had wandered into the vicinity of Domon City, causing a tragic poisoning case, poisoning an entire village, more than thirty people in all. The people had already been caught, and tomorrow morning, they would be burned at the stake at the city gate. It urged everyone to report any wandering wizards they encountered in the future to avoid causing large-scale casualties.

Killing more than thirty people in one go, these wandering wizards were quite powerful.

But thinking about the methods of wizards, Dorai fell silent again.

He himself could also kill so many ordinary people at once simply by using poison or other means, but why would he do such a thing? To what extent were these people's minds twisted? Or were they practicing some kind of black magic? The wizard profession was unparalleled in creating terror and panic.

Black wizard, Dorai learned a new term.

The biography of Nalüye also mentioned the term "black wizard" many times. They were a group of madmen who would do anything to achieve their goals, seriously violating ethics and morality, and could be described as pure demons.

Nalüye's advice when encountering a black wizard was to kill him immediately, and if you couldn't kill him, don't easily approach him.

"Black wizard?" Dorai's face darkened.

He turned his head and scanned the city gate. He didn't find Feller today either. He wondered what had happened to Feller, or had he been transferred to another place?

At the city gate, there were many soldiers and carriages, as well as many laborers. They were building roads towards the vicinity of the Bianchi mine, in a grand and lively manner.

Dorai knew that this might be a prelude to the Ability Association's preparation to develop the magic crystal mine. He saw that there were all kinds of people among them, even prisoners.

Dorai's disguise was the same as last time, wearing a hood, carrying a large bundle, and exposing his dark, thick arms, which looked like they were often exposed to the sun, making it easy to tell where he came from.

His arms were full of scars, looking ferocious and terrifying, and even the small hooligans were unwilling to provoke him.

Walking into the Future Pharmacy, the sharp-eyed boss had already seen him. Seeing the bulging backpack on his back, he immediately called out to someone and hurried to greet him, leading him to the back.

Entering the warehouse, Dorai put down the bundle and said, "Thank you, boss, for the book you gave me. This time, I found a lot of good medicinal herbs. Please give me a price."

Slowly opening the bundle, the boss's eyes lit up.

"My name is Mileidi, you can call me Old Mi. These herbs of yours are really good quality. You must have gone to many places no one has ever been to."

More than just places no one has ever been to, there was no one at all, okay?

He smiled and said, "It's okay, my Barr is very clever and can always take me to good places. My name is Lin Rui." He touched Barr's head next to him.

Old Mi then looked at the dog next to Dorai.

It was just a dirty dog, obviously not a good breed, a very ordinary mountain dog, but its eyes were very bright and beautiful.

Old Mi nodded and stopped talking, concentrating on looking at the herbs Dorai had collected.

This time, the quantity was more than the last time, and the quality was better. Old Mi couldn't close his mouth with joy. Although there were many herbal farmers who supplied them, they could provide more in quantity than Dorai, but the quality was definitely not enough. This guy always brought second and third-level herbs, which was very impressive. Combining this with the scars on his body, Old Mi knew that this little guy must have suffered a lot. You know, it had been more than ten days since the last time.

"A total of sixteen kinds of herbs, all second and third level, good quality, I'll give you 15 gold coins, Lin Rui, what do you need yourself?"

Dorai nodded, took out a list, and placed it in front of Old Mi, saying, "I need the things on it."

Old Mi only glanced at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he didn't say anything. He shouted a few times, and a person came in from outside. He gave a few instructions and handed the paper to that person.

That person looked at Dorai, didn't say much, and immediately went to prepare.

The room was very quiet, silently, and neither of them spoke, making it eerily silent.

After a long time, Old Mi took the lead in speaking, saying, "Lin Rui, I can probably guess what you want to do with these materials and herbs, but I, an old man, want to advise you, remember not to harm human lives, don't become a black wizard."

Dorai was shocked, raised his eyes, and stared straight at Old Mi, thinking for a moment and saying, "I didn't intend to hide it from you, becoming a black wizard is not my goal." He knew that no matter how he disguised himself, Old Mi, the old doctor, would see some clues. He said it so directly, and Dorai felt relieved.

Old Mi sat down and sighed, "I've seen many wild wizards like you. The wizard profession in the Northern Kingdom is declining, not because everyone lacks talent, but because the Ability Association controls a lot of resources, coupled with the rampant black wizards, so the wizard group is notorious among ordinary people, but in private, there are still many people who want to become wizards. In Domon City, there are actually many underground wizards. If you want to go down this path, it's easy to run into them."

Dorai relaxed when he heard this, his eyes lit up, "Many wizard apprentices?"

In order to dispel Dorai's concerns, Old Mi nodded knowingly, saying, "Every family, scattered people, all have them, especially the families have the most wizards. Under normal circumstances, they will join the Ability Association, but there are also some unknown wizard apprentices. If it's not necessary, I suggest you don't expose yourself. Your appearance is very easy to disguise as a warrior." He looked at Dorai's skin and muscles, and the woodcutter's knife at his waist.

Dorai nodded, now relieved. He looked at Old Mi with bright eyes and said, "Thank you, our business can be a long-term partnership. So far, I have no plans to contact anyone else."

Old Mi showed a surprised expression, then smiled and said, "Then you should be good, I don't want to lose you as a source of supply. Of course, if you have any medicines to sell, you can also come to me, I also have many wizard suppliers here, of course, I don't accept poison."

Dorai looked at Old Mi and understood in his heart that this old guy was a sly old fox, probably relying on pulling in many wizards to be his suppliers.

But currently, he has nothing else to sell except for healing ointment, mental power potions, and hallucinogenic potions, and these three things cannot be sold.

He nodded and said, "I'm slowly learning, if I have good things, I'll come to you."

Old Mi also breathed a sigh of relief. He regretted it a bit after saying it just now. If this guy suddenly became violent, he would have no choice but to expose himself.

He smiled and said, "Then we'll have a happy cooperation."

The two had nothing to say, and the air became quiet again.

Soon, the apprentice came in from outside with a large box and placed it in front of Dorai.

Dorai opened the box, took a look, and nodded.
