The Witcher: Elemental Lords

This is the Level 7 Alchemist certificate. Level 8 Alchemist certificates aren't issued here; you'll need to go to the Imperial Capital for that. Only the Alchemist Guild headquarters in the Imperial Capital has the ability and authority. Furthermore, Level 8 alchemy recipes are rare outside the Imperial Capital.

Dore is absolutely unwilling to go to the Imperial Capital. Someone like him could easily get caught up in power struggles. Narye's legendary biography states, "When you possess a certain amount of suppressing power but don't pursue fame or fortune, please stay away from nobles and royalty."

Narye, who was just beginning to gain fame, only took one trip to the Imperial Capital and found himself embroiled in trouble. Some problems came looking for him, while others were inexplicable, greatly irritating Narye, who had only recently gained some combat ability.

Because of his connection to the Third Prince, Dore doesn't want to go to the Imperial Capital and get caught up in the power vortex of the imperial succession; it's not worth it, unless he himself has enough suppressing power, which he currently lacks.

After receiving the Level 7 Alchemist certificate, Dore didn't even glance at it before tossing it into his storage ring. He excused himself to the others, put on his black hood to conceal himself, and then left in a carefree manner.

Approximately a day later, the names of fifteen Level 7 potions were added to the potion registry of the Chris Wizard Tower.

Therefore, this day was also the most frenzied day for the large factions in Wassonburg. Shortly after the registry was posted, top mercenary groups and noble houses swarmed into the Chris Wizard Tower. In less than twenty minutes, the potions Dore had placed in the Chris Wizard Tower were completely sold out.

This speed was even faster than selling to the Owen and Rhein families.

At this point, everyone understood that Dore's alchemist certification was complete, and he was about to begin his performance.

There were originally two Level 7 Alchemists in Wassonburg. Including Dore, there are now three. One of them rarely takes action because his strength has reached the peak of Level 6. So, in fact, there is only one Level 7 Alchemist in Wassonburg, and he belongs to the Owen family and also rarely takes action.

Whether in terms of output or quantity, the other alchemist is far from comparable to Dore, and the direction of his alchemy is not in commonly used medicines.

The market for Level 7 potions is very large, as evidenced by the long queue at the entrance of the Chris Wizard Tower.

The news of Dore officially selling Level 7 potions quickly spread throughout Wassonburg. The popularity and bustling activity at the entrance of the Chris Wizard Tower even surpassed the Adventurers Guild, which made the people from the surrounding wizard towers jealous.

They couldn't help but be jealous.

After receiving this news, the Marcia family immediately convened a family wizard meeting, summoning all the scattered wizards from outside.

As a family that excelled in alchemy like the Owen family, they had a considerable number of Level 6 Alchemists.

Soon, in a magnificent conference room, many wizards gathered, their brows furrowed.

After everyone arrived, Celince directly asked how to advance to Level 7 in the shortest amount of time.

Many Level 6 Alchemists looked at each other in silence.

The best way was naturally to attend classes at the Chris Wizard Tower, but Dore now rarely taught classes. It was mostly his own students lecturing, and they only taught up to Level 6. There were no Level 7 courses at all. Although they had channels to advance from Level 6 to Level 7, they couldn't find a specific direction.

The Owen family also had a Level 7 Alchemist, but he was very old and couldn't come forward.

…

At this time, the Lant family, the Lei family, the Glory family, and other families almost immediately held internal family meetings.

The next morning, all the families jointly issued a statement congratulating Wizard Dore on successfully advancing to Level 7 Alchemist, and then a continuous stream of gifts was sent from outside, piling up at the gate of the Babel Tower.

Dore naturally accepted all these gifts without exception, not even letting go of the gifts from the Marcia and Lant families.

As the strongest alchemist in Wassonburg at the moment, he now had enough confidence.

…

East District.

In an ordinary courtyard, two middle-aged men stood, respectfully looking at the woman who had just walked in.

"Greetings, Lady Ana."

The woman was plain and unremarkable, like an ordinary woman who wouldn't be noticed even if she were lost in a crowd. At this moment, she spoke in a clear and cold voice, saying, "Before Thorn Nine could even act, he was discovered and killed by the other party. We are still unsure how the other party discovered Thorn Nine. We only know that the other party has set up informants. Now that the other party has advanced to Level 7 Alchemist, he poses a significant threat to us."

One of the middle-aged men emitted a sinister aura, his sharp voice speaking at this moment, "Reporting, my Lady, the other party has not left the Glory Wizard Tower complex. We temporarily have no way to deal with him unless we directly engage in war with the Wassonburg Glory Wizard Alliance. If we wait for him to come out on his own, the time period may be too long. He occasionally comes out, but the timing is often unpredictable, sometimes months, sometimes weeks."

The woman raised an eyebrow, saying, "Don't worry, he will always come out. I have come this time to kill him together with you. I have arranged the escape routes, so just execute the plan when the time comes."

The two middle-aged men exchanged a glance, both breathing a sigh of relief.

Killing someone in Wassonburg, especially a celebrity, puts immense pressure on them. They are assassins and killers, but not daredevils like Thorn Nine. The cost of killing someone here is too great.

Without a backup plan, they wouldn't dare to act rashly, because they would very likely face certain death.

They have the same background as Thorn Nine, being trained as spies, assassins, and killers, but the difference is that they don't want to lose their lives so early.

The woman nodded, saying at this moment, "Your codenames this time are Thorn Demon and Thorn Needle. I am Thorn King, so we will address each other by codenames."

The two men exchanged a glance, saying, "Yes, Lord Thorn King."

The woman holds a high position in the Sand Scorpion organization, being one of the few Level 6 Assassins, with extremely powerful strength and excellent concealment abilities, even comparable to a Level 7 existence. Assassins, if they don't succeed with one strike, flee thousands of miles away; this is the standard of conduct for assassins.

If they don't succeed with one strike and are caught, then that assassin is basically dead.

Assassinating warriors is relatively easy and common. As long as the plan is in place, they can basically succeed. Even if they don't succeed, they can escape. But assassinating a wizard is not so easy. Once the wizard is prepared, it is basically very difficult for the assassin.

Just then, the woman said, "This time, the Assassin's Guild will act with us. I will be responsible for liaison and strive for a single success. If we don't succeed, the trouble will be ours later."

Thorn Demon and Thorn Needle nodded, their hearts filled with heaviness.

The difficulty of assassinating a wizard who owns a Level 7 Wizard Tower can be imagined.

It's good that the Assassin's Guild is cooperating with them.
