The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Feller lay on the wooden chair, lazily waving his fan. Although it wasn't summer yet, the sun was already showing its power. There were no trees around, and the sun shone directly on the city gate, making it quite hot.

"Sir, Odo is here!" A city guard came to Feller's side and quietly woke him up.

Feller raised his eyelids, saw Odo standing in the distance, and waved to him.

Odo hurried over, lowered his head, and said, "Sir Feller, I've brought the portrait." He raised his hand, holding a scroll. It was specially made, based on his description, and resembled Dorlay by nine parts.

Feller unfolded the scroll, glanced at it, and handed it to the city guard beside him to pass on. They naturally knew what it meant.

Feller pondered for a moment and said, "I can help you find him, but I can't guarantee I'll succeed. After all, not everyone comes out every day. If I find him, I'll let you know."

Odo nodded, respectfully saying, "Then I'll trouble you, sir. This is a small token of my appreciation." He fumbled in his pocket, took out a money bag, and handed it to Feller.

Feller chuckled, "You're sensible. Your father and I are acquaintances, old friends. Consider this money a tip for the brothers."

With a wave of his hand, he tossed the money bag to the deputy captain beside him, and the crowd immediately cheered.

Taking money means doing things for people; that's the custom.

Of course, not all of this money was for these city guards. Half of it had to be given to the squad leader; otherwise, his position as a team leader would be difficult to maintain.

Odo quickly left, thinking that the lackey could only be at the mine, and finding Feller at the gate would be accurate.

Having lost two capable subordinates at once and spending a large sum of money, Odo hated Dorlay to the bone. If he caught that guy, he would definitely beat him to death to relieve his hatred. He hadn't seen him for dozens of days, and Odo couldn't bear it any longer.

...

As the weather gradually warmed up, the Old Ke Blacksmith Shop also became increasingly busy. The usage of daily agricultural tools, weapons, and various knives and ironware greatly increased, and Dorlay was constantly busy at the forge.

Not long after becoming a level one blacksmith, he had his own forge. However, there was a shortage of laborers. Unless he wanted to refine something himself or was very busy, he usually assisted Verick, occasionally taking the lead. At this time, he already had his own exclusive weapon, a short, narrow sword, light and easy to carry. When he went back at night, he no longer needed to carry a hammer.

As the weather warmed up, the weapon consumption of the barracks, city defense, police station, and military headquarters outside the city greatly increased. The Old Ke Blacksmith Shop received orders almost every day, and soldiers from all sides could be seen coming every day.

However, Dorlay soon discovered that after the city guards came once, someone was inexplicably watching him and inquiring about him from other blacksmiths, which made him feel uneasy.

He didn't seem to have offended the city guards, did he?

This group of city guards quickly left, and soon, Harley called him to the back and asked:

"Dorlay, have you offended that lord?"

Dorlay was a little confused, "Brother Harley, I haven't left the city for a while."

Harley was a little puzzled and said, "Someone just told me that a squad leader is looking for you. Now he has already found you."

Dorlay thought about it. He didn't have any enemies. If he had any enemies, it would be Odo, but what relationship did Odo have with the city guards?

He thought about it and explained his situation.

Harley thought for a moment, then understood a little, patted Dorlay on the shoulder, and said, "I know, don't worry, you are a contracted blacksmith of our Old Ke Blacksmith Shop, nothing will happen."

The background of the Old Ke Blacksmith Shop was the military headquarters, which belonged to the city lord's lineage. It had an official background. The city guards were also under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters. If a squad leader wanted to cause trouble, he had to consider his expression. Even the company commander couldn't do it.

After dismissing Dorlay, Harley prepared to take stock of the inventory. Recently, there had been a lot of things going on, and the amount of raw ore had become small. He had to prepare to purchase a batch of goods.

As the weather warmed up, the military headquarters prepared to train troops and mobilize all personnel to clear the roads to the county seat. The wear and tear on weapons, armor, and bows and arrows would inevitably be enormous. He had to prepare for this, otherwise, it would be easy to be in a hurry when the time came.

Only the Old Ke Blacksmith Shop, backed by the city lord, had such channels. Other ordinary blacksmith shops didn't know anything about it.

Harley was going to meet the Third Young Master of the Link family, Sainton Link. The Old Ke Blacksmith Shop belonged to this Third Young Master. In addition to the Old Ke Blacksmith Shop, there were three other blacksmith shops belonging to the Link family, all of which were medium-sized or larger, and there was also a large blacksmith shop with three level three blacksmiths stationed there. There was even a legendary level four blacksmith, a high-level blacksmith who could forge level four weapons.

...

After probing Harley's manager's tone, Dorlay relaxed, but at the same time felt a strong sense of crisis. That damned Odo actually had connections with the city guards. This was no small matter.

Even though he was in the slum, Dorlay knew about the two major security departments in Domon City, the police station and the military headquarters. The military headquarters was responsible for the army and city gate guards, and the police station was responsible for security and patrols. Don't underestimate the city gate guards; their power was not small. If he wanted to leave the city, he had to go through the city guards. This was troublesome.

Domon City was backed by mountains, and there were only two city gates. The direction close to the mountains was completely closed, and one of the two city gates was closed all year round, with only one open. Therefore, Dorlay knew that he was in big trouble, and it would be difficult to go out in the future.

So, despite receiving Harley's manager's promise, he was not happy at all. Damn it, that damned Odo.

Dorlay felt anger towards a person for the first time.

The afternoon was very busy, and Dorlay was not happy at all. He was very depressed. After completing his work, he left the blacksmith shop directly and quietly returned to his small house.

For an entire afternoon, Odo's shadow loomed over his heart. Facing the attack of official forces, Dorlay didn't know what to do.

Annoyed.

He stood in the house, practiced boxing for a while, practiced basic swordsmanship for a while, and then forced himself to calm down before finally exercising his meditation method.

After cultivating the meditation method for three days, he had completely visualized a copper coin, and the details were not bad at all. According to the book, this was the end. After all, his visualization was the simplest, but Dorlay knew that this could not reflect the strength of his mental power. He couldn't even feel the improvement of his mental power. According to the book, this was actually the end. Visualizing an item was the completion of the first step of meditation.

Was this the end? Dorlay thought it definitely wasn't. After thinking about it, he decided to visualize the second copper coin. This method was also inspired by Narye's book, but it was just a concept, and Dorlay was preparing to implement it.

The difficulty of visualizing one item, visualizing two items, and visualizing three items is not the same at all. It increases geometrically. After careful consideration, Dorlay felt that if he could visualize the second copper coin, then his mental power would definitely be greatly improved.

Although he felt a little irritable, he still quickly found a way to calm down and began to visualize the second one.

A copper coin is very small, and it is easy to outline it with mental power. With Dorlay's current mental power, it is easy to visualize it completely, but the second copper coin does not have the previous foundation of mental power, so it can only be outlined little by little, instead of like the first copper coin, first visualizing a general outline, and then slowly outlining it. This is not very realistic, and the difficulty has increased a lot.
