The Witcher: Elemental Lords
#68 - White Cicada
In the evening, Dole had just gotten off work and quickly spotted Kadiya hiding by the roadside.
He silently walked over, and when the two met again, Kadiya said nothing, handed him a package, and then silently walked away.
Dole didn't think too much about it, put away the package, and turned to leave as well. He had to hurry on the road this afternoon to go to the library, return the book, and then borrow a new one before it closed.
Recently, he had been reading various biographies, which he found quite interesting.
Reading is a habit; as he read, he grew to like it. The stories of the characters in the books, the romances, and the cunning and insidiousness were all useful to Dole, and he could learn many lessons from them.
This world is complex, and he needed to understand its complexity and learn from the experiences of his predecessors in order to survive in this complex world, amidst many dangers. This was Dole's understanding of books.
In addition, he could also learn from others' ways of dealing with people, their smoothness, and their handling of affairs. Although he couldn't learn everything, he at least had to understand the relevant routines so that he wouldn't suffer losses.
After borrowing two books, Dole returned home. It was already dark, so he lit a candle, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a book, and began to read with relish.
After advancing to a high-level wizard apprentice, he didn't rush to improve further, but relaxed completely.
He read until ten o'clock in the evening before putting down the book, picking up Kadiya's package, and going next door.
Opening the package, it was full of various medicinal herbs, and also a book. Dole was a little surprised; he was just practicing a kind of poison, why did he bring a whole book?
He looked at it and found that this book actually didn't have many pages. It contained the refining methods of three kinds of poison.
The first poison, colorless and odorless, was called White Cicada. He didn't know why it was named that. The second poison was Black Cicada, and the third poison was called Flower Cicada.
Seeing these three names, the corners of Dole's mouth twitched.
This was definitely designed by one person; it was truly morbid.
There was also a small note in the book, stating that he should refine the first poison, White Cicada.
Dole looked at the introduction of the three poisons. The first poison, White Cicada, is colorless and odorless, killing people invisibly, and is effective against any profession below level two. The second poison, Black Cicada, is a large-scale destructive poison that can dissolve in water. One hundred grams can kill dozens of people, and its power is very great, with lethality to all professions below level two. The third type, Flower Cicada, is the most powerful. It can volatilize and dissolve in the air. Putting one kilogram of Flower Cicada upwind can easily poison half a village, and its power is very terrifying. It is also effective against all people and all professionals below level two.
Seeing this, Dole was shocked. What kind of person designed such a powerful poison?
The first one was fine, but the second and third were simply aimed at extermination, too vicious.
He flipped through the book and didn't find a signature, not knowing who designed it.
What shocked Dole the most was that this kind of poison only required a mid-level wizard to refine, which was very easy.
"No wonder they want to control the number of wild wizards. Wizards are simply too terrifying for ordinary people. Professionals have to suffer too!"
Shivering, Dole put down the book, thought for a moment, and then decided to help Kadiya refine it. He carefully checked the medicinal materials, a total of ten portions.
"Kadiya only needs one portion, so let's refine one portion for him. Refining too much is easy to lose control." Dole didn't know what Kadiya was going to do, but it was definitely not a joke. Refining one portion would at most kill one person; refining too much would easily cause trouble.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and began to spread out the various materials, dividing them into portions, and then decocting, extracting, and quenching them separately, finally putting them into test tubes and beakers and mixing them carefully.
This poison is a contact poison, and Dole even prepared a mask and gloves, requiring extreme caution.
At this time, the power of a high-level wizard apprentice was manifested. Under the powerful mental power, the control was greatly enhanced, and there were almost no mistakes. He extracted the poison in one go, and it was exactly the same as described in the book.
He poured the poison into a bottle and put on the stopper.
A tube of very powerful poison was formed.
Looking at the remaining herbs, Dole pondered for a moment and decided to put them aside. This thing might be used on Dis.
After thinking for a while, he put the potion aside, then took off his mask and gloves, cleaned up everything, and returned to his room.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and he began to meditate.
For a high-level apprentice, increasing half a copper coin in one night seems like a lot, but it's actually not much.
His current total amount of copper coins is 73. Increasing one only increases by one seventy-third, pitifully little, and basically, you can't see any increase. Moreover, the total amount of mental power entering the wizard stage is many times that of the high-level stage. He still doesn't understand it. To be honest, this progress is slow, not just a little bit.
Therefore, wild wizards without resources may never be able to advance to a level one wizard in their lifetime because they simply can't see the end.
But Dole was not in a hurry. He didn't lack ability, nor did he lack magic potion techniques. As long as he found a stable place, many things could be solved easily. He thought that after killing Dis, he would leave here and change places, and still live a good life.
The next morning, Kadiya came very early, originally just intending to build a relationship, but unexpectedly, Dole gave him the thing in person.
Kadiya glanced at Dole and quietly put away the potion.
"I owe you a favor. I will try my best to find out other information about Dis for you, but the Ability Association is currently in the police station, so it is inconvenient for me to collect it. Please be patient and wait."
He calmed down and said quietly.
Dole curled his lips and said, "The production of this potion is not difficult. You can find any mid-level apprentice to refine it. There's no need to thank me so much."
Kadiya said in a long tone, "Although that's the case, it's not so easy to find a mid-level apprentice who has a good relationship and is not easily exposed."
Dole was stunned. Hey, it seems that's the case.
Apart from the Ability Association, which wizard apprentice dares to reveal his identity? It's simply courting death. Even if it's cultivated by the Orn family themselves, they don't dare to openly declare their identity.
Dole thought for a while and whispered, "I don't care who you want to kill, try to protect yourself. I know you are an assassin."
Kadiya nodded slightly and quickly disappeared into the blacksmith shop.
Soon, a day passed quickly.
Time slowly came to mid-November, and the entire Domon City had entered the winter season. The mountains began to become bare, and the air slowly became dry.
Not far after walking out of the blacksmith shop, Dole saw two marks not far away.
He slowly returned home, took his things, and walked out, heading towards the slums.
This transaction was different from the last time. He asked Lily to bring him some spellcasting materials, and of course, he paid for them.
As a high-level wizard apprentice, Lily had access to more resources than himself. If she could get some resources, Dole wouldn't be polite and would directly ask for them.
The transaction was still conducted in the slums.
Seeing Dole, Lily clearly felt that Dole was a little different and was a little dazed, "You have also entered the high-level wizard apprentice stage?"
Dole generously admitted and whispered, "I'm going out for a while to learn magic tricks, but our transaction remains the same. I will enter the city once a month."
Lily was a little tempted. Dole had entered the high-level apprentice stage, so wouldn't that be? She immediately said, "Can you refine level two mental power potions? If you can, I can get some herbs."
She also knew that it was impossible to refine them in the city, but if he went outside the city, it wouldn't affect anything. This guy Dole had already prepared for it.
Dole looked at Lily with some surprise. She could also get in touch with this thing? Level two mental power potions require magic crystals.
Lily whispered, "I can get some magic crystal scraps. The effect should be universal. You just need to get the other herbs."
