The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Beside the still somewhat icy river at the end of winter, Dorlay didn't feel much cold; his whole body emanated wisps of heat. He sifted, his eyes glued to the yellow-orange stones, afraid of missing a single piece.

As he sifted, Dorlay quickly noticed a strange phenomenon: some glittering little stones always appeared in the last of the sieved ore. Generally, gold was dense and wouldn't be moved by the river's current, so it would be left until last, but what were these glittering stones?

After sifting for a while, he had dumped many glittering little stones. Once again, he couldn't resist, and he picked one up and examined it.

The stone was pure white, a somewhat translucent cubic crystal, very beautiful. Holding it in his hand, he seemed to feel a faint coolness seeping out. Sensing this coolness, Dorlay felt his mind become much clearer, and he also felt that the stone seemed somewhat familiar, but he didn't know where the familiarity came from.

Sensing this, Dorlay knew that these glittering little stones were not simple; they seemed to be something extraordinary.

Because this thing wasn't metal, the mine certainly wouldn't want it. When Dorlay was picking up gold ore, he put these glittering stones in his pocket, planning to take them back. He always felt the aura of these stones was familiar, but he didn't know where that familiarity lay.

With this question in mind, Dorlay continued to work.

As the sun slowly passed over the mountain peaks and the sky began to dim, he had already accumulated a pocketful of glittering little stones.

Time to get off work.

He went to the supervisor to collect his pay and really received two extra copper coins. Dorlay nervously looked around. Aldo wasn't there; he must have gone to rob someone else, so he wasn't paying attention here. He quickly handed the extra two copper coins to Uncle Dodu.

The two exchanged glances and quickly arrived at the mine entrance.

Dorlay anxiously passed through the instrument. As expected, the instrument didn't sound, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as he came out, he ran into Aldo and his gang.

Seeing Dorlay come out, Aldo walked out with a sinister look. Without a word, he stepped forward and pushed Dorlay to the ground, and then several people savagely searched Dorlay's body.

Dorlay didn't resist, because resistance was futile. He just calmly looked at Aldo, who was high above on the side.

Aldo arrogantly directed his subordinates, looking at Dorlay, his mouth full of mockery.

"What's wrong? You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, get up and hit me."

"Damn bastard."

"Pui."

The child who pushed Dorlay down and took the lead in robbing him was only fourteen years old, tall and strong, Aldo's number one thug. After spitting on Dorlay, the group swaggered away.

Seeing them leave, Dorlay touched his pocket and found that there were still two copper coins left, and he felt relieved.

Today, Aldo could have two more vegetable buns to eat, and there would still be one copper coin left to save up.

Thinking of this, Dorlay felt happy, and he didn't feel much resentment even after being pushed down and insulted.

He wiped the spit off his body and walked towards the city as if no one else was there.

Dozens of cases like Dorlay's happened every day at the entrance of the mine, and no one cared at all.

Arriving at the market, Uncle Dodu was already waiting for him nearby. The two quietly made the transaction and then left with tacit understanding.

He spent two copper coins to buy six vegetable buns. Dorlay immediately ate four of them and then put the remaining two in his arms. Following the crowd, he returned to the city. At this time, the sun was setting, and the evening clouds were red, and the western sky was very beautiful.

Returning to his small shack, as soon as Dorlay entered, Aldo poked his head out from inside, his dog face full of doubt.

Seeing Aldo like this, Dorlay didn't care much. He put the rice balls in a broken bowl, threw them to him, patted his dog head, and then lay down on his bed. After eating four vegetable buns in one breath today, he didn't feel very tired and could stay awake for a while, so he took out all the small stones in his pocket and poured them on the ground.

At this time, he found that Aldo was a little strange, because Aldo didn't eat the vegetable buns at all, but followed him over, his eyes staring straight at the small stones in his hand.

Dorlay smiled slightly, put all the small stones on the ground, picked one up, shook it at Aldo, and smiled, "What, do you also like these small stones?"

The hellhound Aldo was thinking at this time, 'Damn it, I can even find magic crystals here. It's really ghostly.' But he didn't dare to say it, so he gently licked Dorlay's hand, rubbed against him a few times, and deliberately licked the stone into his mouth.

When Dorlay saw Aldo like this, he was shocked. He panicked immediately. He rushed up, ready to hold Aldo down and pry open his mouth to get the stone out.

It actually ate a stone. This dog doesn't want to live.

It wasn't easy to find a living thing to live with, and Dorlay didn't want him to die so soon.

However, Aldo obviously didn't want to let him succeed. He ran left and right, and Dorlay couldn't catch him. Instead, he found a chance to eat a few more stones on the ground, feeling very happy in his heart.

"I haven't seen magic crystals in a long time. Although they are magic crystal remnants, with these magic crystals, my injuries can heal quickly."

Aldo naturally wouldn't tell Dorlay this. While avoiding Dorlay's claws, he secretly ate the magic crystals, until he had secretly eaten all the magic crystals, and then he licked his face and ran to Dorlay's side, rubbing against his thigh, licking his hand, his tail wagging even more happily, as if asking, 'Are there any more of these stones?'

Dorlay was already dumbfounded at this time. This guy actually ate it? And he finished it all?

Nothing happened?

However, seeing that Aldo was still alive and kicking, and nothing happened, and he was even more energetic, he didn't bother to feel sorry for his stones, as long as the dog was okay.

He carefully touched Aldo all over, and after confirming that he was okay, Dorlay was surprised instead. Could that stone be eaten?

With a belly full of doubts, Dorlay quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night.

Aldo got up from the ground, staggered over, lowered his head, looked at Dorlay, pointed out a ray of light, flew towards Dorlay's forehead, and then he quietly opened the door and walked out of the doorway.

He knew Dorlay's workplace. There were actually substandard magic crystals there. There must be a miniature magic crystal mine. He had to quickly absorb all the magic crystals so that his strength could recover a bit.

Hellhounds were good at hiding, tracking, and hunting. Soon, he tracked Dorlay's scent and quietly entered the mine. In the dark night, the hellhound's gray-black figure was like a no-man's land, and no guards discovered him.

He came to the small river, which was the last place Dorlay appeared. After sniffing it slightly, he identified several other scents, so he tracked the source of the scent and went up the mountain.

The whole process was silent.

There were a lot of stones in the mine, and they were all raw ore. All the broken stones were piled together. In the middle of the night, no one could tell which of these ores were ore and which were waste rock, so they were piled together like that, and no one was guarding them.

The dead of night provided Aldo with many conveniences for committing crimes. The main purpose of his coming tonight was to see where the ore vein was, not to absorb it directly. There was plenty of time in the future, so there was no rush.
