The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Thinking of this, he stood up and walked outside, quickly arranging all the tasks.

There were two main materials for the level five mental strength potion, and neither was easy to collect. He needed to do his best to gather these things and couldn't be careless in the slightest.

In addition, he also needed to seek the help of the Northwest Rose Merchant Guild. Not every level five pharmacist could be easily won over.

After spending a full ten days, they transported the first batch of medicinal materials to Ellengard Academy. The mercenaries escorting the shipment were even at the fourth level at the highest.

…

The Rose Merchant Guild's actions caused a small ripple in the entire merchant circle. The large-scale collection of raw materials for level five mental strength potions, coupled with Dolai's words, made all the merchants in Waltz City aware that Dolai's production, apart from his own use, was entirely given to them. For a time, the merchant circle in Waltz City was filled with intrigue.

In an underground passage with excellent protection, there was a well-sealed stone chamber. Two men in black sat opposite each other, surrounded by several men in black standing straight.

"I don't know what's protecting Dolai, but we've sent many assassins and all have failed. If this continues, our branch will probably be destroyed after a few more attempts," a dissatisfied voice said.

The man in black opposite him only revealed a pair of eyes. He closed his eyes, his mind full of doubts.

The most powerful person in Ellengard Academy is none other than Ellengard himself. As long as he doesn't take action, wouldn't a small pharmacist be easily captured? There must be a problem here.

"We have all his information. The strange thing is that this person simply cannot be captured. What exactly is going on?"

"Don't ask me, who should I ask? If it really doesn't work, let Shadowthorn try. If he can't do it with his abilities, then we really have to give up."

"Wouldn't it be a waste to send Shadowthorn out?"

"Shadowthorn is a silver-ranked assassin in the Assassin's Guild. It's his honor to serve us. Now is the time to use him. The higher-ups said that this is the last chance for the level five pharmacist. If it still doesn't work, then give up."

The man in black opposite him nodded. Recently, the organization had indeed suffered too many losses, and it was becoming unprofitable.

"Also, don't let the Rose Merchant Guild have an easy time. The Third Prince has already noticed this place."

The man in black nodded, "Understood."

…

Dolai naturally didn't know that after he advanced to a level five pharmacist, many forces would be manipulating matters behind the scenes. For him, as long as the three major families didn't move, it wouldn't be a big deal.

What he feared most was the three major families forcing him to take a stand and lean towards one side. That would be a truly big deal.

However, so far, neither the Morris family, nor the Waltz family, nor the Treacy family had shown excessive and strong desires for him.

Perhaps they were tacitly allowing his status as a free man, so no one could act and no one could interfere.

Soon, time flew by, and it came to spring.

Around the New Year, Ellengard Academy made a big move.

First, the academy announced in a high-profile manner the establishment of a level four pharmacist course, and widely recruited students, with prices a quarter lower than other academies. The recruitment scope was the entire Waltz County, and even extended to the entire Northern Province.

After discussing with Dolai, Ellengard Academy devoted itself to the recruitment process for this course, doing its best and even fighting openly and secretly with the equally powerful Dark Gate Academy. It was said that during the promotion process, no less than twenty disputes occurred, and the two families officially came to the surface from the underground struggle.

The Dark Gate Academy also had a level four pharmacy course, attracting many level three pharmacist students, which was why Waltz City couldn't compete with them. However, when Dolai started lecturing, the status of magical potion studies in Waltz City would change in the future.

This was all brought about by him alone. Therefore, Ellengard personally appeared to oversee the situation and escort Dolai.

Dolai sat firmly in the Potion Hall, truly experiencing what it was like to have his own people.

Vice Dean Lamb naturally did his best, providing manpower and effort. Many of the level three students brought out by Dolai also helped with the promotion, and they themselves were living examples.

In addition, the Pharmacist Guild also appropriately issued some statements in support of Ellengard Academy.

Therefore, even before the New Year, the entire Waltz City felt turbulent, and Ellengard Academy alone had investigations from many parties, with many unfamiliar faces appearing.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Dolai, unless they could enter the Potion Hall, which would pose some threat to him.

At this time, his second offensive level three wizardry had been successfully constructed.

Scorching Ray.

Scorching Ray was completely different from the explosion of a fireball. It completely concentrated all the energy into one point, using the penetrating and scorching effect of the flame. The more focused the ray, the higher the damage, and the higher the temperature, the higher the damage, often used for attacking fortifications.

This wizardry was relatively simple, and the spell model was also relatively fixed, not so difficult to master.

The second wizardry he was preparing to construct was Fire Serpent Art, condensing the flame into the shape of a fire serpent and being able to control it freely to be considered a success.

The strategic significance of Fire Serpent Art was that after being released, it could be regarded as an independent individual. It consumed very little when not attacking and could be used as a long-range auxiliary means. Of course, it could also be very explosive when attacking. It could attack outside the range of mental strength, which could be said to be quite practical.

He had already constructed half of the Fire Serpent Art. After all, the number of spell nodes in this spell was even more complex and variable than the Flight Spell. Dolai even felt that he was constructing a small life, which was not even wizardry.

In the blink of an eye, it had been three years since he came to the Glory Empire, and he was already seventeen years old this year.

As for pharmacy formulas, he had only learned three so far: Strength Potion, Agility Potion, and Mental Strength Potion. After level five, the difficulty of obtaining materials was one aspect, and the tolerance rate of the potions increased again, and the difficulty of potion purification increased again, almost to a very harsh level.

In the room, Dolai put down the Mental Strength Potion in his hand. Today was the first day of the New Year, and he put down the potion and prepared to rest for a few days.

Just then, he lowered his head, and a feeling of crisis naturally emerged in his heart.

Because of the New Year, the academy had already been on vacation ten days ago. In addition to the local wizards, there were still a large number of students from other places in the building, about thirty in number.

Just as Dolai noticed this, Baal, who was sleeping next to the balcony, also raised his head. He saw Dolai's movements and looked outside, his dog eyes turning pitch black.

"Interesting, this person can actually get so close before I can sense him. He's a master among you humans."

Baal slowly got up, a hint of cruelty in his eyes, and drool flowed from the corner of his mouth, "The meat of a master is the best. I want to eat him."

Dolai looked at Baal, somewhat speechless. Recently, this guy had become addicted to eating people. No wonder, there were too many people paying attention to him during this period.
