The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Carl was a commoner, and his talent for alchemy and potions wasn't high. Fortunately, he had learned a lot from Dole. With a foundation in potions, he could earn a bit more working with the Blazing Flame Merchant Guild than before, enough to make a living.

As the first wizard he had met, Dole treated Carl much better than others.

Carl took the potion from Dole, his expression a mixture of emotions.

"If it were before, I wouldn't dare accept it. Now, I'll just take advantage of you, you nouveau riche." Carl said a little embarrassedly, "I'll be resting for a few months. You wouldn't mind me staying here for a while, would you?"

Dole was taken aback. "You're not working at the guild anymore?"

Carl shook his head. "No, the guild is undergoing repairs. Some time ago, we encountered setbacks. Now, the strength of the level three leader is no longer sufficient. It needs to be level four or even level five to guard the guild and conduct transactions across the empire."

It was a lighthearted statement, but Dole could imagine the bloody storm behind it. Combining it with his own journey, the merchant caravan must have encountered irresistible factors.

He thought for a moment and then smiled, "Sure, you can help me out during this time. Among the people I know, there aren't many I can trust anymore."

Hearing this, Carl was immediately grateful.

He went around learning various kinds of knowledge. Up until now, three years had passed, and he had only raised his magic inscription studies to level three. He eked out a living by enchanting items for newly transcendent professionals, making life very difficult. He could learn a lot from Dole here.

"Then thank you. I heard that you're now the master of the Magic Potion Hall. Is everything here under your jurisdiction?"

Dole shook his head and said, "I'm just the nominal hall master. Generally speaking, each position has its own responsibilities. You just need to do your own thing well. There isn't much power. The real power is in Dean Elleng's hands."

It wasn't that Dole didn't have power, it was just that he was usually too lazy to manage things. He spent most of his time on potion making and cultivation, and rarely showed his face.

Carl nodded. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Last year, I met a female wizard in the Northern Kingdom. She said she knew you by your alias, Lin Rui. She should be in the Glory Empire by now."

Dole was stunned and almost blurted out, "Is her name Molly?"

Carl nodded and said, "Yes, it is. It seems you really know each other. Do you want me to help you find her?"

Molly didn't know Dole's true identity. She only knew Lin Rui and A'duo. If Carl didn't reveal it to her, she probably wouldn't be able to find him even in death.

He thought for a moment and said, "Sure, it's been a long time since I've seen her. I wonder how she's doing?"

According to the normal development of a wandering wizard, she should have just entered transcendence at this time. When Dole thought of her, he remembered the days when they were sneaking around together. He felt a little emotional. In the blink of an eye, several years had passed. Time really flies.

...

Dole originally wanted to go out, but now that Carl had come, he could only bring him along.

When they arrived behind the Tower Forest and saw the newly built magic tower, Carl's eyes immediately shone with infinite light. He almost trembled as he said, "Is this yours?"

Dole nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it's currently under construction. There are still major magic arrays that need to be imprinted. I've decided to do it myself after the new year. The materials you see here have already had basic magic runes embedded in them. They should be sufficient."

Carl had traveled far and wide, so he naturally knew the importance of a magic tower to a wizard. A level three magic tower allowed a level three wizard to dare to fight a level four wizard. A level four wizard dared to fight a level five wizard. The magic tower was a wizard's true foundation, their lifeblood.

The cost of a magic tower was also extremely expensive. Some wizards couldn't even build one in their entire lives.

For Dole to be able to own a magic tower was simply... unbelievable!

Carl said excitedly, "I'm free these days. Let me help you study it. It just so happens that my magic inscription studies are almost at level four. It's a good opportunity to learn."

Dole turned his head and glanced at him, saying, "That's what I meant. Let's work on it together."

While others were happily celebrating the New Year, Dole had already begun his magic tower plan. At the same time, the struggle in Waltz City was gradually coming to an end.

The final governing power of the new Waltz City still fell into the hands of the Waltz family, led by the most outstanding warrior of the Waltz family.

Although the Glory Empire was a wizard empire, most wizards didn't hold power. Therefore, it still fell into the hands of warrior professionals.

After the new city was officially established and possessed independent conferment rights, a large number of investors began to stake their claims in the new city, building taverns, shops, and so on. For a time, the competition in the new city was fierce, with intense open and secret struggles every day.

When it came to matters involving interests, no one would easily give up. At this time, Dole seized the time to complete the magic array of the magic tower.

A hexagonal magic tower was a level higher than a pentagonal magic tower, and it could be filled with many major magic arrays.

In the Glory Empire, there were a total of thirty types that could be found, and there were more than ten types with strong later-stage plasticity. Strengthening, upgrading, and stacking layers were almost no problem.

There were also several types suitable for magic potion masters, and the effects were good, and they were biased towards defense.

The newest and most popular novels are all here!

In Hall's alchemy magic workshop, there were also several that Dole liked, and he planned to use one of them as the main magic array of the magic tower.

The name of this magic array was the Chris Reaction Furnace. The magic array was divided into three major sections, which could be refined in stages, namely the Chris Melting Furnace, the Chris Chain Defense Array, and the Chris Demon Fire Double Pupil.

The Melting Furnace mainly focused on gathering energy, responsible for the energy supply and storage of the entire magic tower. The Chain Defense Array mainly focused on defense, while the Demon Fire Double Pupil focused on offense. This magic array combined defense and offense, and it was also biased towards alchemy. Dole liked it very much.

As for Chris, he was the author who created this magic array.

The initial magic array only required level four strength to complete. Although Dole was a little short now, as long as he was careful, he could complete it himself.

After spending a few days marking various places in the magic tower, indicating where to use what magic runes and what to place, and then passing some of the magic runes to Carl, the two of them got busy.

This busyness lasted for more than ten days, and the start of school was approaching.

Adding to the previous progress of the magic array, Dole finally completed the preliminary magic array. Next, he would complete the refining of the central melting furnace magic runes.

The central melting furnace required a furnace with very good quality, preferably an alchemy furnace. Dole needed to buy this himself.

However, at this step, he was basically completely relieved. High-quality furnaces could be bought in Elleng Academy. The master of the Alchemy Hall had one that had been on sale for a long time, but no one could afford it or used it. He just needed to buy it.

He had to wash away all the magic runes inside the furnace with potion and replace them with the Chris magic array he needed, and he also needed to recast it once. Therefore, he still needed some time before he could completely move into his magic tower.
