The Witcher: Elemental Lords
#720 - end of the year
Having followed Dole for so long, Tawa and the others knew what their master was thinking, so they nodded together.
Dole didn't like getting involved in certain factions, didn't like dealing with people, and even more didn't like being led by the nose. This master was an absolutely self-centered person.
Dole waved his hand, telling them to go and rest.
At the same time, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
The City Lord's mansion was completely surrounded by Xuan Corpse Insects and Frost Insects, in addition to the Wizard Tower's array, so no movement could escape his eyes. At this moment, among the people Gideon brought, some people looked normal, but some small movements didn't escape Dole's eyes.
Among these people, there were a few with problems.
Dole noted the auras of these people, preparing to monitor them closely.
He didn't want to directly dig them out and execute them on the spot. He was still thinking of digging out something deeper.
The Narye Legendary Warrior had said that spies were double-edged swords. As long as they were used properly, a spy could also obtain a lot of things. Dole deeply believed in this. In Wassenberg, he had obtained a lot of information through this method.
Where did these people come from, where were their superiors, who were they communicating with, and which force was behind them? All of these things could be exploited while they were probing for his information.
Playing the spy game in front of a biological wizard was obviously impossible. Why were those people behind the scenes still not learning their lesson?
No matter how superb the acting was, could they act all the time?
In that instant, Dole thought of many things. He even thought of using the Bone Demon God Meditation Technique to directly control a portion of his mental power at night, launching a mental invasion to directly spy on the people in the dark from the mental aspect.
Now, he roughly knew what the forces in the dark were like, how terrifying the existence behind them was, and what kind of person that expert who was good at using mental power was.
After capturing Corpse Six-Five, he hadn't tortured him yet, but recently, he had vaguely sensed a dark power constantly communicating with the mental power on Corpse Six-Five's body, which was very troublesome.
This power was very mysterious and powerful, even surpassing the pressure Baal gave him, but the distance was too far, so Dole wasn't very afraid. With the Wizard Tower cluster, his safety was still guaranteed.
In addition, the storms in the distant Arbis Mountains were now accumulating power. Even if it was a peak Level Seven, without Baal, Dole wouldn't be afraid alone.
The power enveloping the entire Arbis Mountains meant Dole's current foundation had completely reached Level Seven, and he even had enough self-preservation ability among Level Sevens. Level Eight was just about comprehending a few more rules.
Thinking of this, Dole gained some confidence.
Let's play, and see who can outplay who.
Thinking of this, he continued to lower his head and bury himself in writing, and people would come in from time to time to take away the written official documents, and then distribute them to various places.
Arbis City was a bustling scene, even in the dead of winter. Soon, it was time for the New Year.
On the first day of the New Year, all the workers were given a holiday, and the slaves were also gathered together. The Rhine Family, the Aoun Family, the Lant Family, the Marcia Family, and several small families that Dole valued all gathered next to their respective camps, singing and dancing.
In the dead of winter, the surroundings were all ice and snow, and bonfires were lit around the camp, creating a peaceful scene.
This was a scene of ordinary people cheering.
At this time, the nobles of the various families all gathered together to hold a wine party.
Wine parties were a place to connect feelings and discuss matters, but Dole's figure was not seen in the wine party, which made the surrounding nobles a little regretful.
Dole was the real protagonist of this city, possessing political and wizarding power, with immense power. In this city, he was a god-like existence, and all forces had to rely on him.
Unlike the separation and entanglement of the wizard system and the government system in Wassenberg, Dole reigned supreme here.
However, they could also see that Dole sincerely wanted to manage this land well and was not messing around. Moreover, he planned everything in an orderly manner, strictly enforcing what area was for what purpose and what was not allowed to be done, and no amount of pleading would work. He had managed many good places in an orderly manner.
Even the Rhine Family's desire to occupy a good place to open a hotel was rejected by Dole, because that place was originally intended to build a park as a place for leisure and entertainment.
When it came to urban planning, he didn't give anyone face.
The wine party was held in a newly built restaurant of the Rhine Family. People had been arriving since morning, and by noon, almost everyone had arrived.
This was a seven-story building with a large area. The venue was on the second floor, and the first floor was for various ingredients.
The second floor was decorated very warmly, in line with the aesthetic standards of the upper echelons of the Glory Empire. The fire in the fireplace was burning very brightly, and with the wizard array blocking it, it was not cold at all inside. Some people even wore short-sleeved dresses, and those beauties who considered themselves noblewomen also took off their coats after entering, revealing the sexy and generous dresses inside.
The people of the old families such as the Rhine Family and the Lant Family, as well as the new nobles such as the Matt Family, the Dom Family, the Como Family, the Mokantor Family, and the Edeline Family, had all arrived early.
There were also some well-known mercenaries and adventurers among them, as well as a number of young men and women.
The latest novels are first published at Liu Jiu Literature Bar!
At noon, after the prepared buffet breakfast was finished, everyone began to sing and dance, and their respective forces also began to stand together, seemingly chatting, but in fact they were already discussing their own affairs.
This time, the Rhine Family was responsible for the construction of the new city, and it was Westerling's elder brother, Wayne. Almost his entire family came here, wife, concubine, sons, and daughters, a total of more than a dozen people.
As the head of the branch family here, Wayne's face was filled with smiles, yet he was solemn and calm.
"Taking down that piece of land in the west, the head of the Wayne branch family will surely be recorded in the Rhine Family history," Jefferson of the Lant Family said with some envy.
Wayne smiled faintly, "We also spent a lot of money. The two of you made me spend a lot of my family fortune to get it."
The person in charge of the Aoun Family was none other than Anderson.
Anderson said with some regret, "I actually wanted to take it down more, after all, it is indeed a good place, but unfortunately, I didn't save enough money, and I've been spending too much money recently. The return period is still too long."
Wayne smiled and said, "Which family isn't the same? Take City Lord Dole, for example, do you think he's making money?"
Jefferson nodded and smiled slightly, "Although City Lord Dole has earned some money, he's investing even more. Don't look at his income increasing every day, but he's also spending a lot, recruiting craftsmen, workers, and wizards everywhere, laying roads, and clearing the surrounding magical beasts. The money he spends will only be more than ours, not less."
Carroll, the head of the Ray Family branch, said at this time, "How did I hear that the Glory Wizard Alliance's magic crystal mine is about to be developed? Dole will soon have no shortage of money to spend."
