The Witcher: Elemental Lords

The doors slowly closed.

In the darkness, rays of light lit up from the surroundings, and an old man sat in the center of the small room. His hair had fallen to the ground, and his skin was wrinkled like elephant hide, covered in lines, but his eyes were bright. His expression had changed, no longer with the strangeness from before, but solemn and calm.

"That kid George knows how to handle things. He spared no expense to win over that child Yuno, and now he's sending me messages, clearly having a good relationship with that wizard from the north. He's building quite the network."

He thought about it and decided not to interfere in these matters. If that wizard from the north was only at the fifth level, he might have been interested in recruiting him as his apprentice or disciple. But since the other party was already at the sixth level and had killed four seventh-level individuals in one go, the Imperial City had nothing to attract him except for some truly rare treasures.

Such a wizard with exceptional talent should only be befriended, not recruited.

"I have to tell those few people that we can't ruin the relationship, or we won't find such a good knife in the future."

In his eyes, no matter how outstanding Dole was, he would always be just a tool until he reached their level.

...

The Third Prince returned to his mansion. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a woman with a cold appearance standing by the lotus pond in his courtyard, quietly gazing at the lotuses inside.

The Third Prince couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw this woman. If she came to him, it must be for something.

Ever since she was cured, she had basically become reliant on him. Although he did want to rely on her to turn the tables, he couldn't just find himself a wife because of it, right?

After all, the age gap between this wife and himself was too large, and her strength was too great. A strong personality wasn't a good thing either.

The Third Prince did have strength. His own bloodline leaned towards physical prowess. He was almost thirty-five years old this year, a sixth-level warrior, and his talent could only be considered decent.

However, when facing a powerful wizard who had reached the sixth level at the age of thirty, he was somewhat lacking.

She was Yuno, the former genius of the Imperial City. At this moment, Yuno turned her head and looked at the Third Prince who had just entered.

She slowly stood up and looked at George. From hundreds of meters away, her voice clearly appeared in his ears.

"George, did you just go to the Wizard Tower?"

George nodded without saying a word. Although Battle Qi could also be used to transmit sound in a focused line, the requirements for Battle Qi were too high, and he didn't have that ability.

He waved his hand, and the guards on the left and right retreated.

Coming to the side of the pond, he said with a smile, "The eldest brother wants to make a fuss about Dole. I'm going to see the Old Ancestor to explain this matter and make him give up."

Yuno's appearance wasn't bad; on the contrary, she was very beautiful and delicate. Her firm eyes added a touch of heroic spirit that made people admire her.

It could be said that any wizard who reached the third level or higher wouldn't have a bad appearance. Acquired efforts could completely make up for congenital deficiencies, not to mention the wizards who could deeply understand themselves and make certain adjustments to themselves. Yuno was already beautiful, inheriting the powerful genes of her family. With a little modification in appearance, she was basically at the level of a super beauty.

At this moment, she nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I received news that the eldest prince is lobbying the Emperor to take back your right to control part of the Imperial Guards, and is also lobbying others to strip you of your position as Minister of Military Affairs."

George blinked. Although he had guessed this matter long ago, it was the first time he had heard it confirmed. The two of them were now completely irreconcilable. Whoever failed would become the other's stepping stone.

However, the fact that this news came from Yuno's mouth made it a bit intriguing. He looked at Yuno and began to think.

Yuno was over fifty years old this year, but she looked exactly like a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl, without the slightest difference. More importantly, she had never had any scandals like boyfriends. She focused solely on cultivation, and only slowly declined when she was framed, but even then, there were no scandals.

Yuno was a member of the Edward family, one of the largest families in the Imperial City, but in recent years, due to a sharp decline in power, she had left the power center of the family. The Edward family was a supporter of the eldest prince. George's last potion was a desperate gamble. Now it seemed that this ten million investment was very worthwhile.

At least in terms of information, he was already ahead of his brother by a lot.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yuno and said seriously, "Thank you."

Yuno shook her head and said, "This is what I owe you. I am fifty-one years old this year. If I hadn't obtained that potion, I would have been stuck at the sixth level for the rest of my life. But now, I am confident that I can advance to the seventh level within twenty years." She turned her head and looked at George seriously, saying, "Do you know what the seventh level means?"

George naturally knew what the seventh level meant. For warriors, the seventh level was just mastering a kind of power, but for wizards, the seventh level was understanding the rules, mastering powerful and mysterious powers, and truly becoming an existence capable of fighting against an entire city alone.

Take Dole, for example. If he wanted to fight against that city, he could simply go there and let the golden corpse destroy it at will, and directly break down a large city of medium size or above.

Even he himself, with his exaggerated abilities, could destroy a city and hundreds of mountain peaks.

The seventh level possessed not only destructive power, but also the ability to tap into one's own potential, further improve oneself, and further express the laws between heaven and earth.

George smiled shyly, "There are many potions that can treat your injuries, but they are just too expensive. As an elementalist, your ability to earn money is still too poor, and the family doesn't invest enough in you. If you ask me, you should learn from my friend and focus on magic patterns. At least you can ensure that your life is not controlled by others."

Yuno nodded. Her ability in elemental aspects was unparalleled, but she had studied less in other aspects because of cultivation. Now it seemed that not studying was not an option.

Without money, one would be greatly restricted, regardless of whether one was a genius or not.

Although the internal struggles within the family were not as intense as the battle for the throne, they were just as cruel.

When you are a genius, you are a genius, and all the family's resources are tilted towards you. When you are not a genius, your status is even inferior to the rats in the yard.

Yuno deeply understood this point, so she was very grateful to George, so she helped him at all costs.

Although she knew that George had exchanged this potion for the territory that he had never intended to keep, she was still very grateful.

For a wizard, as long as the goal can be achieved, the process is not important, and the means are not important. What is important is that she saw the real results.

Yuno thought for a long time, then nodded and said, "I will always help you until you sit on the throne. I came here today as a clone. We'll talk later."

Yuno's figure suddenly collapsed, turning into a puddle of water and dissipating on the ground.

George was slightly stunned. With his eyesight, he didn't even see that it was a clone. It was really a miscalculation. A genius is a genius. A simple water shadow technique was actually used so masterfully.

The Edward family really lost a super genius, hehe!
