The Witcher: Elemental Lords

ps: Meeting, the next chapter will be delayed.

In this area, the daytime belongs to the authorities, and the night belongs to the butcher.

This has become the rule.

What is the underworld? Collecting protection fees, bullying the weak, trafficking in people, committing all kinds of evil, but as long as they are not discovered, these things will never be known, and they are legal.

Dore sat in the corner, listlessly drinking the unpalatable wine, observing his surroundings, ears perked, listening for news.

The bar is indeed a good place to gather information. His keen hearing easily allows him to hear many things, such as what that noble did today, or who beat or killed whom and where they dumped the body, or who went out today and what they did. Although it is very noisy here, Dore can still perceive things if he wants to listen carefully, relying on his powerful perception.

After drinking for a while, he saw Carmen walk in from outside. He was very cautious when he came in, greeted the surrounding thugs a few times, and then found a random seat to sit down.

Not long after Carmen sat down, a dark-skinned man sat opposite him, and the two whispered to each other.

Dore has been here for a few days, and he knows that this man is an important figure of the butcher. The two are here to exchange information. Carmen gives the butcher some information, and the butcher gives Carmen some information, increasing Carmen's crime-solving rate, and Carmen also gives the butcher protection.

The collusion between officials and bandits is how it comes about.

Seeing this, Dore had a plan. He originally wanted to directly poison the place, but Carmen doesn't take drugs, so he had no way. Getting close would easily be sensed by the keen detective, so he gave up this plan early on.

The two talked for a while, and the dark-skinned man left the table, leaving only Carmen.

Dore sat for a while longer before leaving first.

Coming to the door, he did not leave too far, but stood in the distance, waiting, waiting for Carmen to come out.

He noted the time and then tracked him from a distance. After a few days, he had figured out Carmen's movements and information.

He knew Carmen's address, which was still in the East District.

Although Carmen is a detective, he was born as a commoner.

He has a wife, a slave, and two five- or six-year-old sons.

Seeing this, his heart sank.

However, he quickly flashed a stern look in his eyes. He was going to die first. He didn't care about the life or death of his son and wife. Even if they starved to death in the future, it would be his own fault.

He planned to repeat his old trick and quietly poison Carmen.

First, understand his hobbies, and then take special care, trying to avoid other people. He poisoned Aldo's family because that family didn't have anything good.

In this world, the lives of ordinary people are the cheapest. What's valuable is the lives of nobles. Killing a Bundy is worth 20 gold coins, but killing an ordinary person is probably more than 10 silver coins. Killing a detective may be a bit more risky, but it's not impossible.

Quietly returning home at night, Dore calmed down and began to refine the mental power potion.

The mental power potion is no longer difficult for him. As his mental power continues to improve, his perception of materials becomes more and more refined, and the failure rate is basically very, very low. He refines it several times a month, and the success rate has almost increased to 60%.

This is just a level one mental power potion, only useful for beginner and intermediate apprentices. Level two mental power potion refining is not so easy, it requires the mental power of an advanced apprentice.

Dore drinks about one bottle every five days, and his mental power grows very quickly.

In a month, he can accumulate almost thirty bottles of mental power potion. This is after deducting the ones for Old米 and Lily. The rest is just enough for his own use. He can't reveal his production.

It would be great if there were other channels to sell these things.

The Assassin's Guild is a good channel, but he can't easily expose himself. They are all cold-blooded killers who eat people without spitting out bones. If he reveals this information, he will probably be kidnapped in minutes and become a medicine refining tool.

Thinking of this result, Dore was a little scared.

From intermediate wizard to advanced wizard, it takes a long process. From twenty-seven coins, it takes almost eighty coins, or perhaps he can touch the threshold of advanced wizard. A few months have passed, and he has now accumulated forty coins, which is considered very fast.

With the help of a large number of mental power potions, Dore's cultivation is actually not slow.

Nalüye's book records that Nalüye, this legendary figure, spent a month going from beginner to intermediate, but it also took almost half a year to go from intermediate to advanced. It seems reasonable that he takes a little longer.

…

Kadija came to Mondo's blacksmith shop and saw Dore sitting there reading a book, the book blocking his entire face. This guy is very leisurely now.

He has come here many times, and the surrounding blacksmiths and apprentices all know that the big man Kadija is familiar with Dore, and no one asks too much.

"Little guy, very leisurely," he looked at Dore, who was now more than a head taller than he was half a year ago, with muscles bulging on his body, and his skin was dark and shiny from being baked by the fire, a standard blacksmith.

Dore put down the book, smiled honestly, and said, "Lord Kadija, what's the matter today?"

Kadija teased, "I won't look for you if there's nothing to do. Come, fix it." He took out his sword, still the same one as last time.

"The newest novel is at Six 9 Books Bar!"

Dore is no longer the rookie he used to be. He has a clear understanding of the warrior profession. Kadija, as a level one warrior, is extremely strong and possesses battle aura. In theory, he shouldn't be using this ordinary iron sword without special effects anymore.

But he didn't ask, just looked at it, and then beckoned to Anderson next to him to fetch some iron ore and fine copper.

Kadija leaned on the front of the forging furnace and smiled, "Are you wondering why I'm using an ordinary iron sword?"

"I didn't ask!" Dore naturally didn't admit it.

Kadija smiled and said, "Sword duels mostly focus on combat skills, without using special powers, pure skill combat. If it's a serious battle, I have other weapons to use."

Dore hasn't seen anyone else duel with swords, so he naturally doesn't know about this. He is very unfamiliar with both the warrior and wizard professions.

He nodded, and said with a little joking tone, "Your combat frequency is very frequent. You come to repair it every few days. Over the course of a year, you've invested a lot of money in our Mondo's blacksmith shop."

Kadija revealed a mysterious look, "Then do you know how much money I make from one sword duel?"

Dore thought for a while, with the nature of the nobles, could it be a lot of money per duel? He guessed, "Ten gold coins?"

Kadija spat blood, "I risk my life to earn ten gold coins?"

Hearing this, Dore immediately understood that sword duels are life-threatening, especially for a top sword duelist like Kadija in Duomeng City, so he said, "It seems that the minimum is no less than 50 gold coins." This is also the normal annual salary plus pension for a level one warrior in Duomeng City.

Kadija was a little surprised, this little guy's thinking is very sharp.

He nodded, coughed, and said with shining eyes, "Do you want to learn sword dueling with me?"

Hearing this, the surrounding blacksmiths were shocked.

Dore was also a little surprised. I'm happily forging iron here, earning a minimum income of 30 silver coins a month, plus commission. Why should I learn swords with you?

He shook his head like a rattle, "I don't like fighting with people, so forget it."

Kadija almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. You don't like fighting, but you've killed several people already, okay?
