The Witcher: Elemental Lords

On the way, he had already disguised himself as Lin Rui and quickly arrived at the bridge of Sanhekou Town. The guarding villagers were delighted.

“Lin Rui, you're back.”

“Yeah.”

“How long are you staying?”

“I don't know, it depends on the situation, probably some time.”

“Haha, is it because you can't bear to leave Kouni, the girl.”

“Get lost.”

“Haha.”

Dore laughed, crossed the bridge, and walked towards his small house.

Although it had only been a little over half a month since he had returned, the entrance to the small house was already overgrown with weeds. After a winter, the silent mountains had begun to fill with a faint vitality from their deathly stillness.

He had just reached the entrance when a voice came from behind him in the distance, “Heh heh, who is this that's returned?”

Dore didn't turn his head. While opening the door, he laughed and said, “Lord Town Chief has very good ears.”

Victor laughed heartily, then his voice lowered, and he said, “I thought you would never come back, and I almost gave the house to someone else. How long are you staying this time?”

Dore glanced back at him and said, “Until I reach rank.” He was still thinking about the miniature magic crystal mine that Baal had mentioned. If he could get even a small piece of the magic crystal mine, he would be rich.

Victor was stunned for a moment, then surprised, “You?”

Dore didn't speak, but instead walked straight inside, beckoning to Victor, “Come in.”

Victor was a little shocked. This guy said he would stay until he reached rank, entering the extraordinary. This wasn't a joke. An extraordinary wizard was a little terrifying. The entire Domon City only had two level one wizards so far.

This guy was actually going to formally enter the wizard realm before leaving. Was it that easy to become a wizard?

He was a little baffled, but it was a good thing that he came back. At least the village had a wizard doctor, which greatly improved their chances of survival. In addition, now that it was spring, they had to start hunting and gathering herbs, which greatly increased casualties. The village doctor was simply not good enough.

They entered the room.

The room was still very clean, without too much dust, but it was a bit deserted.

Dore wiped the stool and sat down in the innermost part.

“Please sit.”

Victor was also polite, sitting opposite him, and said with some doubt, “Have you finished your business?”

Dore nodded, “Yes, the enemies have been killed, so I will stay here all the time. I won't go to the city anymore, just occasionally go out.”

Victor breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That's good. I've been waiting for you to say that. We are preparing to go into the mountains to hunt these days. We've eaten almost all the food from winter.”

Dore nodded, “Don't forget to gather herbs for me.”

Victor smiled and said, “I knew you would say that. I've already distributed the herbal compendium you gave me. As long as we find them, we will bring them to you for free. Of course, in return, you need to provide some potions that can help us with our abilities.”

“That's natural, but I won't provide finished potions. I will provide some decoctions.”

“I understand. You are a wizard. If you really provide potions, I'm afraid someone will report you to the city.”

Dore smiled slightly and said, “Then we will continue to cooperate happily. In addition, don't let Kouni deliver food anymore. From today onwards, I need to have some of my own little secrets, and don't let anyone else get close. The area around the house will become unsafe.”

Victor's expression changed slightly.

“I understand, I will warn them.”

Dore nodded.

The two chatted for a while, then Victor turned and left.

…

In the city.

After work, Verrick was preparing to leave when Hage called out to him.

Verrick was a little puzzled, why did Hage call him? Could it be that he had done something wrong? He turned his head and said, “Hage, what's the matter?”

Hage looked at him and said, “Come with me to the back, it's good news!”

Verrick was relieved, then put his clothes outside and honestly followed Hage in.

The two came to the reception room. Hage took out a small cloth bag, handed it to Verrick, and whispered in his ear, “This is what Dore sent you. Hide it well, don't let others find out, and don't pass it on to others. I will announce to the public that you bought it.”

Verrick was shocked. He touched it with his hand. It was a book. Combining what Hage said, he immediately became excited.

Is this a book for cultivating battle qi?

He quickly heard the key point in the words, “Dore sent it? Where is he?” he asked urgently in a low voice.

Harley looked at him and sighed, “He's gone, and he may never come back.”

Verrick quickly thought of something, “Then Dis was… done by him?”

Harley patted Verrick on the shoulder and said, “Dore is destined not to be on the same path as us. Take this battle qi breathing technique, but you can only practice it yourself. You can't pass it on to your children. This is the rule. Of course, once you advance to level three, you can easily buy it for your children.”

Verrick took the cloth bag, feeling heavy in his hand. Dore was a poor child.

But he actually had the ability to kill Dis, so he should be a big shot now.

Calming himself, Verrick sighed, “I will cultivate hard.” He suddenly thought of the young man who came to the blacksmith shop with Hage this morning. He had looked at him a few more times. Could it be him?

…

Dore tidied up the room, and then his mood completely relaxed. In this small country room, he truly found peace in his heart.

The people who deserved to die were all dead. He had now completely let go of the grudges in Domon City and had to rethink his life.

The magic crystals were now used up, but there were still many other materials left. If he wanted to do research or refine magic potions, he would have to go to the black market to buy magic crystals again.

Now the meditation technique had also reached a bottleneck. Simply relying on drinking mental power potions was no longer making much progress, and at this time, he should think of other ways, take a different approach.

He also knew the method of entering level one, that was from a mortal, entering the realm of the extraordinary, releasing mental power, breaking through the shackles of the body, and using pure mental power to sense the heavens and the earth.

Mental power breaking through the shackles of the flesh was an eternal problem. Sometimes it was by increasing the total amount of mental power, naturally breaking through, and sometimes it needed to rely on other special methods, or experience, or life-and-death struggles, because mental power would be limited to a certain special amount, unable to advance an inch, which all depended on individual talent.

Dore didn't know what his talent was like. According to Baal, his talent was good, but now he was also stuck in a situation where his mental power was increasing extremely slowly. If he relied on the breakthrough of the total amount of mental power, he didn't know how long it would take.

Now his mental power had broken through his previous guess of one hundred and seventy copper coins, and he already had one hundred and seventy-eight copper coins. The amount of mental power felt sufficient, but how to break through the limitations of the flesh was a problem.

Before, Baal said that he would almost break through in the middle of this year, but so far, he couldn't see any sign of it.

The improvement of mental power brought about a comprehensive increase in senses, making him more sensitive to refining medicines, and making the manipulation of the Hand of Burning more fluent, although he couldn't fully change the improvement nodes into more powerful tetrahedrons.

Through experimenting with the Hand of Burning, he already knew what energy was, and what exactly the wizard was manipulating, but so far, he could only come into contact with the energy in the magic crystal residue, and he didn't even know what the concept of the free energy in the air was.
