The Witcher: Elemental Lords

He didn't listen to what the people around him were saying and went straight back to the tower to rest.

He had spent some time on the road, and now it was already mid-June.

The weather in the Imperial Capital was slightly hot, and there were many people outside, but Dorre ignored them, as they were just second and third-level wizards.

Entering the Wizard Tower, Dorre asked Ash, "What do you think of today's events?"

Ash thought for a moment, sat opposite Dorre, and said, "They're probably paving the way for George. He wants to lay some groundwork for George and see the reactions from all sides. I guess my eldest brother, Andes, has no chance."

Dorre nodded.

At this moment, Ash felt worried again, "I originally thought that we would leave after receiving our honors, but I didn't expect to meet the Emperor as soon as we arrived, and so many twists and turns have arisen."

Dorre also frowned slightly. The Emperor meeting them was just a small matter, but others wouldn't think it was small. Probably many things would happen early tomorrow morning.

Well, let's take it one step at a time. First, go to the Department of Internal Affairs to discuss, and after things are settled, go to the Department of Rites to learn various aspects of etiquette. He just hopes there won't be too many things.

The etiquette aspect is just a formality. With Dorre's current status, he no longer needs so much red tape. Moreover, wizard etiquette is much more important than secular etiquette. The awarding of honors may just be a brief overview of the process.

There was nothing the two of them could do now but take it one step at a time.

The Wizard Tower clusters of the Imperial Capital are indeed very magnificent, and the magical elements here are also very rich. The Wizard Towers stand here, interacting with the elements of the surrounding world. Dorre felt that he absorbed elements even faster than in the Albis Mountains.

However, the core of the Tower of Babel was already at full capacity, so he didn't need to deliberately absorb the surrounding elements.

After looking around, the two prepared to rest.

Nothing happened overnight.

Early in the morning, as the first ray of sunlight penetrated the Wizard Tower clusters and shone on the Wizard Towers, Dorre led Ash and slowly walked out of the Wizard Tower gate.

There was no one around the Wizard Tower, and it seemed that there were not many people in the Wizard Tower clusters in the early morning.

Following the main road of the Wizard Tower, they walked outwards. Before they could reach the entrance, Raino's figure had already appeared in their sight.

Raino's expression was somewhat heavy. Dorre walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Raino was from the Edward family, who opposed him. After learning the news, Dorre was somewhat surprised that George could win over Raino.

Raino sighed and said, "Wizard Dorre, there will probably be about ten people receiving honors this time, including two marquises and eight counts. One of the marquis titles is yours, and the other marquis is Lord Maddens, who has made outstanding military achievements. Although there are many nobles in the Imperial Capital, the background of each noble cannot be underestimated."

Dorre looked at Raino with a calm expression, "Are you saying that someone will question it?"

Raino nodded, "It's not that someone will question it, it's that someone will definitely question it!"

"There are not many descendants of the Imperial Capital's nobles who hold noble titles. In fact, every high-ranking noble's title is snatched. The plan for awarding honors started at the beginning of the year. Originally, there was only one marquis, but now there is an additional marquis title. I don't know how many people want to benefit from it."

Dorre was a little strange. He earned the marquis title through his own ability, so why would they try to snatch it?

He thought for a moment and said, "The marquis title was promised to me by the Empire, and the Emperor said it himself. What could go wrong?"

Raino gave him a 'you're still too young' look, "The Emperor needs to balance all sides. Although he has promised you the marquis title, strange things can still happen. You will know soon enough. I received news last night that some people are already eyeing your marquis title, wanting to demote you to a count and choose a marquis from their own people."

Dorre's face immediately darkened upon hearing this. Although he didn't care about the title, he couldn't let people take it away for no reason.

The people in the Imperial Capital are really black-hearted.

He looked at Raino, thought of something, and calmed down again, saying, "Let's take it one step at a time. Although I don't really care about this title, if anyone tries to mess with me, I dare to chop off their paws."

The awarding of honors was the Imperial Capital's intention, but now there are twists and turns, and Dorre felt unhappy no matter what.

Ash, who was beside him, said strangely, "A title shouldn't be that important, right?"

Raino shook his head, "This is a hereditary marquis, it's very important. A marquis can have 5 counts under him, each count can have 5 viscounts, and each viscount can have 5 barons. Each baron can form a small force. You can imagine how big of a force this would be if successful."

Dorre and Ash were silent at the same time.

Although Ash was also from an imperial family, he had never considered such things. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed powerful.

The private military force that a marquis could possess seemed indeed somewhat exaggerated.

Dorre had a headache, "Then let's not talk about it for now, let's go."

Just then, Dorre sensed a wave of wizardry. A figure came speeding from the distance, moving extremely fast.

He turned his head and looked over there.

That person came from the Imperial Palace, recklessly emitting waves of wizardry, with very strong power.

His purpose was clear, heading straight for Dorre.

Dorre stopped, wondering what this situation was.

The man wore a yellow wizard robe exclusive to the imperial family, with a golden crown on his head. He quickly stopped in front of Dorre, glanced at Dorre and Ash, his face slightly surprised, and then respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, I am Sanders from the Imperial Mages Corps. Please come with me to the Imperial Mages Corps. An ancestor wants to see you."

Dorre and Ash's hearts sank. Andes had indeed caused them some trouble, and the trouble had now arrived.

George had said yesterday that Andes was likely to create some trouble for him at the Imperial Mages Corps, and now it seemed to be true.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go tonight, I'm in a hurry to go to the Department of Internal Affairs today."

Sanders' face darkened, and he said somewhat unkindly, "The ancestor's will cannot be violated, not even by the Emperor's orders."

Dorre was about to say something when he suddenly saw Sanders' face change again.

He lowered his head slightly and said, "Wizard Dorre, you can come tonight. I will wait for you at the entrance of the Imperial Mages Corps."

Sanders was somewhat shocked at this time. Two ancestors had sent him a voice transmission. This was no small matter. Could it be that this young man in front of him had gained the favor of two ancestors?

He was somewhat jealous in his heart. To advance to the sixth level before the age of thirty, this talent was indeed somewhat exaggerated.

Dorre looked at Sanders, whose expression was full of entanglement, and felt inexplicably confused. What was going on again?

…

The backyard of the Imperial Mages Corps.

In the basement, another withered old man suddenly appeared in front of a withered old man.

The two looked at each other, and the withered old man said without raising his eyebrows, "Don't go looking for trouble with that young man!"

The person opposite him said with some incomprehension, "Uncle, I didn't want to cause him trouble, I just wanted to take him as a disciple."
