The Witcher: Elemental Lords

This kid's heart is a bit black, but it's true, if no one provokes him, he could stay here for a lifetime.

He thought for a moment and said, "You're almost at the intermediate warrior level now. The breathing techniques needed for advanced warriors, even those of slightly better quality, cost 50 gold coins or more. Don't you have any ambition?"

Dore looked at Katia, wondering if he had any sense of reality.

"I'll save up slowly. With my current ability, saving for a year or so should be enough."

At this moment, Anderson walked out from the back, handed him the materials, and then prepared to start the fire. Dore took the materials, flipped through them, checked their quality, and then gave Anderson some instructions, after which Anderson began preparing.

Starting the fire, the crucible, water, etc., all these things were left to the apprentice to worry about. As for the blacksmith, he only needed to worry about how to make things well.

Katia stopped talking when he saw Dore moving. After watching for a while, he secretly nodded in approval. He had to admit, when this kid was forging iron, he had the demeanor of a craftsman. His eyes were serious, his expression solemn, his movements were swift, and his strength was steady. He was born to be a blacksmith.

Although Dore had been forging iron for less than half a year, relying on his extremely high mental strength and his control over the tools and the rough shape of the object, his ability surpassed that of an ordinary second-level blacksmith. After all, strictly speaking, they could only be considered at the level of ordinary intermediate warriors, while Dore had the dual level of intermediate wizard and intermediate warrior, so naturally there was no comparison, especially since wizards had an extremely high mental boost, and their perception of the rough shape of the object was very accurate, so there was no need to worry about the materials at hand.

With the boost from both, he had such a fast speed that even Uncle Hong and Harley praised him to no end.

The mental strength boost helped with accurate judgment, and although blacksmithing seemed rough, it actually had extremely high requirements for precision. The materials, the rough shape of the object, the forging process, and the amount of force used were all very strict, so this was the key to Dore's rapid improvement.

Dore was forging iron there, meticulously, and Katia nodded continuously.

This child, if he were to study swordsmanship, would definitely become a great talent in swordsmanship in the future. It's a pity, just like he said, he doesn't like fighting.

Soon, after a while, the sword was repaired. Dore had Anderson polish it and then hand it to Katia.

During the transaction, Katia gave him a wink. Dore didn't know why, and then felt something extra in his hand.

He accepted the thing without a word, thought of something, and said, "Sword fighting emphasizes the toughness of the blade and the smoothness of the tip, focusing on skill rather than killing. If Master Katia is willing, you can use refined iron and fine steel to forge it. Ordinary iron is a bit too weak."

Katia naturally understood this principle. He shrugged and said, "This thing is a consumable in my hands, there's nothing particular about it. Thank you." After speaking, he gave him a wink and then turned to leave. He needed to go to the front desk to pay.

Dore nodded, then called out to Anderson and continued to lie on the chair reading.

The name of the book was 'The True Blacksmith'.

Using the excuse of reading, he took out the thing Katia had given him and placed it in front of the book.

It was a piece of paper, densely covered with small writing. Just looking at it for the first time, his eyes lit up.

It was information about Carmen.

In addition to what he had learned in the past few days, there was a lot of other information about Carmen on it. For example, this guy went out every five days to visit a mistress, who was a concubine of a minor noble. Another example was that he often went to a certain place with his colleagues and Dis to eat.

The information on the paper was very important.

In this world, human life is cheap, but as long as you stand in a different position, life is still very important. But standing at a certain height, being willing to disregard other people's lives for a little bit of money is enough to make Dore hate it.

Whether it was Carmen or Dis, they were both in Dore's grasp.

His eyes narrowed slightly, filled with killing intent.

Anderson was also sitting next to him, inexplicably feeling a little cold. It was summer, and there was a forging furnace next to him.

In the afternoon, he slowly walked out of the blacksmith shop. Before he even took a few steps, he saw a familiar place, a small mark.

He thought for a moment and walked towards the city. Soon, he changed his clothes and walked into the slums.

Soon, he met Lily.

Lily was a little taller than Dore, wearing a servant's outfit, with a scarf wrapped around her head. In her arms, she held a not-so-small bundle.

Seeing Dore come in, she handed the bundle to Dore and whispered, "I need five bottles or more."

Dore took the bundle, looked at Lily, and was a little surprised. This woman had some ability, after all, only a few days had passed.

Lily didn't have much time usually. She had a lot of work to do and could only come out at fixed times, so time was precious.

Dore didn't say anything, just said, "Five days later, you give me a message, I need to go back to get them and then come back to trade. It might make you wait a while."

Lily nodded, indicating her agreement.

The two of them spoke very little. After trading things, they left separately.

Wizard apprentices at the intermediate level are the same as ordinary people, and they can't feel any difference. If Dore didn't know potion-making, he would be exactly the same as an ordinary person, so his most urgent desire now was to enter the advanced apprentice level.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Advanced apprentices are useful. Rune magic, potion-making, material science, these things can all be studied, and these are all subjects in alchemy.

To become a wizard, alchemy is unavoidable, and the learning of various magics also requires alchemy assistance, all of which Dore is very clear about.

After eating something outside and bringing some back for Baal, Dore locked himself in the laboratory and began to refine mental strength potions.

First-level mental strength potions were no longer difficult for Dore. He could even refine them in one go, and he could refine many bottles in one night.

The herbs Lily gave him were of very good quality and aged well, and the mental strength potions refined were very effective.

But unfortunately, Dore had already drunk enough, and the primary mental strength potions no longer had any effect. He could only cultivate on his own, slowly, or refine second-level mental strength potions.

Second-level mental strength potions were different from first-level mental strength potions. Second-level mental strength potions would add a small amount of magic crystals, and magic crystals would have energy fluctuations. As long as Dore refined mental strength potions, he would inevitably cause energy fluctuations, which would be detected by the Ability Association. Therefore, without a means to cover up the energy fluctuations, he did not dare to refine them, and other potions were similar.

This was the current predicament.

But Dore was not in a hurry.

After finishing these, he began to prepare another ordinary potion, a hallucinogenic potion, a hallucinogenic potion with added ingredients.

Hallucinogenic potions had two ways of use. The first was to take it yourself, and the second was to use it as a sleeping pill, which could be used to hypnotize others. In the information Dore had obtained, Carmen was often alone when he came out of his mistress's place, which gave Dore many opportunities.

He still didn't plan to fight head-on. One was that he had never fought with others and lacked experience, and the second was that he didn't want to be known and leave his traces. At least on the surface, he still wanted to live honestly.

This matter had to be carried out secretly.
