The Witcher: Elemental Lords

The expressions on the faces of those nobles were naturally unpleasant. The words these people spoke were like thorns piercing their hearts.

Wizard Dole advocated for meritocracy and deeply disliked the nobles' emphasis on status. During his tenure, very few nobles were promoted, and advancement channels were tightly controlled, offering virtually no opportunities. Conversely, he provided many opportunities for commoners.

This caused dissent among all the families, but Wizard Dole's reasons were sound: achievements and battle records. No loopholes were allowed, and noble status and privileges held little sway with Dole.

However, Dole wasn't excessively harsh. Noble privileges were still elevated to the highest level, including private guards, territorial rights, and business management rights, all with maximum benefits.

But there were also many restrictions. First-generation nobles received the greatest benefits, while those inheriting their noble status from ancestors were not so fortunate. This led to significant limitations for many who inherited their family's nobility.

But there was nothing they could do, as Dole was the city lord. They dared to be angry but not to speak out.

The hall was very lively.

Just then, a huge sound came from outside, a massive tremor that even shook the wizard tower slightly.

Everyone was stunned. This was a level-seven wizard tower; what force could shake it even a little?

Everyone ran to the windows.

They weren't afraid that the wizard tower would be pushed over. If something could push over the wizard tower, they would all be dead anyway.

They saw that outside the city, in the area recently occupied by Wizard Dole, the ground within dozens of kilometers was covered in dust. It looked as if an earthquake of magnitude seven or eight had occurred.

Everyone was stunned.

Such a large-scale attack; what was Wizard Dole doing? It was almost like destroying the city.

Everyone nervously looked in that direction, especially the nobles who had deep prejudices against Dole, who were now even more anxious.

A level nine... what was he going to do?

...

Dole stood at the top of the wizard tower, his brow slightly furrowed.

The power of tritium polymer self-explosion was still quite significant, and its explosive force was very high, but its limitations were also great: once unleashed, it was uncontrollable and couldn't be used as a conventional force.

This was just a tiny amount he had extracted from the surrounding earth.

But the power was truly immense.

Dole shook his head, no longer focusing on this kind of thing.

After obtaining the star chart around the Alpha world, Dole understood a lot more about the world.

Alpha was a great world, and many small worlds would be attached around it, like the Maze World.

Besides the Maze World, there were other death worlds, fire worlds, and empty worlds, like water droplets hanging on the green leaf that was the Alpha world.

The Alpha world was a small world, and its rules were not strong, making it difficult to sense the surrounding small worlds. As the world grew stronger, Dole felt that the world seemed to be loosening some restrictions.

Recently, he had also been drawing star charts, directly mapping everything he could see and sense in his room.

Inside the black laboratory, it was like a void, and in the void, there were twinkling stars.

Some of these stars were far away, some were close, and some were at a very vague distance.

However, even the closest starlight would take Dole a long time to reach the edge of.

In the past few months, he had only done one thing: upgrading the wizard tower to level nine. After the Tower of Babel truly reached level nine, there was sufficient improvement in energy supply, especially with the Void Calamity Pearl as the core, providing enough energy as the driving force.

He hadn't actually done any other experiments, only taking a look at them from the outside with a wizard array before ceasing to pay attention.

Upgrading the wizard tower was the most crucial thing.

The successful upgrade of two wizard towers to level nine was a shock to Dole, or even to the entire Albis region.

Experiments could be done any day, but basic infrastructure construction had to be done first, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable later.

Now, on Gretel's side, they were using another type of wizard tower, the Meteor Tower, known for its speed and defense, which was also level eight.

After completing the wizard tower, besides doing experiments, his thoughts were actually focused on higher-level knowledge.

Such as the law level, the god level, which required capturing some higher-level creatures to conduct, such as evil gods.

But evil gods were something that one could only encounter by chance.

Just then, the corners of his mouth slightly smiled. Aishia was coming.

At the entrance of the laboratory, Aishia's main body appeared. She was wearing a water-blue dress, which was also a magic robe, and looked very aloof.

After entering level seven, Aishia also became relatively relaxed, without so much pressure. As the first madam of Albis City, still being at level six, many people had been gossiping.

After entering level seven, the pressure came to Elrea, and Aishia was not in a hurry.

She had two meditation methods in her hands. As long as she practiced casually, she could reach level eight within a hundred years, and level nine was not impossible. With the silicon-based clone, she would definitely reach level nine in the future.

Aishia looked at the laboratory, looked at the top of her head, at the large expanse of starlight surrounding it, and inexplicably felt a sense of awe.

The entire laboratory was arranged by Dole like a void world. Standing here was like standing in the void, truly making one feel impressed at a glance.

"Monica wants to start practicing meditation. Her talent is even higher than the two of us. She can now sense magical elements through casting materials."

Aishia didn't care about Dole's experiments, but told Dole about this matter.

Dole blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, her foundation is very solid, she can practice now, bring her over."

Discussing things was more appropriate with the main body present, so the two were also talking face to face as their main bodies.

Soon, Monica excitedly skipped and jumped to the entrance of the laboratory, secretly glanced inside, saw that her parents were both there, and then ran over. Monica, who was already one meter thirty-four tall, hugged Dole's leg.

"Dad, can I start practicing now?"

Dole touched her head and comforted her, "Your knowledge can already support practice, you can do it, which one do you want to learn, you know what Dad has now."

Monica didn't even think about it and said, "Naturally, it's the same as Dad, the Storm Meditation."

Dole guessed as much. After so many years of his practice with the Storm Meditation, plus the huge storm area of ​​the distant Albis Mountains, everyone was envious when they saw it, let alone a child.

He nodded and said, "Then can you promise Dad a request?"

Monica's eyes lit up and she quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, thinking, "Don't say one request, I promise ten thousand requests." But she said, "Promise, promise."

Dole said with a solemn expression, "Don't use witchcraft to bully other classmates at school, and don't release witchcraft casually."

Monica's face suddenly collapsed. If she couldn't release it casually, what would she rely on to show off in front of her friends?

Seeing Monica's expression, Dole and Aishia couldn't help but smile. They didn't know what this girl was thinking in her heart.
