The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Cardia's eyes twitched slightly, his smile remaining unchanged, "You're a wizard, so you need a lot of magic crystals for experiments. I can provide you with some."

Dolly stared intently at Cardia. This guy is too mysterious. You never know what he's up to.

"That's true, but compared to safety, I'd rather not have any magic crystals."

Cardia finally couldn't maintain his smile, and his lips twitched. "Dolly, am I that unpleasant?"

Dolly didn't look at his expression, his voice low and deep, "You silently killed a big shot, and that poison came from my hand?"

Cardia's smile slowly faded. He looked at Dolly and sighed.

In the quiet night, the atmosphere between the two was somewhat cold.

After a long silence, just as Dolly was about to go inside, Cardia's mood suddenly plummeted, and he said slowly in a slightly low voice, "I'll tell you a story. Would you like to listen?"

Dolly frowned. "Let's go inside. It's cold outside."

...

Once upon a time, there was a person with a family of five: parents, a younger brother, and a younger sister.

This person's family was very poor. The father and mother eventually had no choice but to sell the younger sister, which caused the older brother and younger brother immense pain.

Years later, the older brother achieved some success and became a big shot. He searched everywhere for his sister's whereabouts.

He didn't know how long it took, but he found his sister. His sister had been sold to a wealthy family as a servant.

The older brother was very happy, so he went to their house and became a guard, secretly protecting his sister.

The sister's life was very ordinary. She was always worried and often beaten by the master she served. The older brother was very angry, so he used various means to free his sister from her master's hands and placed her by his side.

But the good times didn't last long. The sister became more and more beautiful and was quickly targeted by an old lecher from that family. The older brother desperately protected his sister, but in a moment of carelessness, the sister was still violated by the old lecher. The older brother didn't know about this. He was still working hard to improve his life to protect his sister.

But the good times didn't last long. He discovered that his sister was pregnant. This was a real bolt from the blue.

Later, after he forced her to tell him who did it, he couldn't do anything about it. And when the old lecher saw that the sister was pregnant, he tried to make her abort the child.

In the end, the child was aborted, and the sister died.

...

"That's my story." Cardia's face was extremely gloomy at this time. "I desperately collected magic crystals and collected the recipes for the world's most exotic poisons, just to find a wizard to concoct poison for me, and you happen to be the one."

Dolly was silent at this time. He didn't expect that Cardia would kill that person because of this. Revenge for his sister's death was indeed irreconcilable.

Cardia finished speaking and completely breathed a sigh of relief. He had been holding this matter in his heart for so long, which was uncomfortable. Now that he had said it, he could feel a little more relaxed.

In the silent night, a tear fell from the corner of his eye and was quietly wiped away by Cardia. He raised his head and looked at the dark sky, which didn't even have a little starlight. Cardia's heart was extremely complicated.

Dolly's heart was also extremely complicated at this time. Cardia did use him, but it couldn't really be considered using him. The two of them were at most exchanging favors.

He thought for a while and said, "What are you going to do next? Is that person dead?"

Cardia had recovered at this time and said in a calm tone, "What else can I do? Although my sister's revenge has been avenged, where can I go?"

Currently, the three major families in Domon City have the strongest forces. Joining any of them would be the same. Cardia can also get by in the Orn family.

Dolly nodded. He didn't speak, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this time, Cardia continued, "I know you are a wizard. What about your magic crystals? These things are not easy to find on the market."

Dolly didn't expect him to ask this question, so he said, "I'll be going to the black market soon."

Cardia nodded and then whispered, "The Ability Association has a senior wizard apprentice named Bitch, who has identified that the old guy was poisoned with White Cicada." Then, he gave a rough introduction to the wizard forces of the Orn family and the situation of Bitch. He told Dolly to be careful when encountering these people in the future and not to get caught.

After Dolly heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. The Ability Association was indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. They were able to find out such an unpopular poison as White Cicada, which was really amazing.

Moreover, the Orn family had a large number of wizards, which surprised him. But thinking about it, it made sense. They had controlled Domon City for so many years, second only to the Link family. How could they not have any power? It was normal to cultivate a few wizards with such a huge family business. There might even be more powerful wizards outside.

He nodded and then said, "I know. Thank you for telling me."

Cardia looked for Dolly to talk about Bitch's matter. After speaking, he relaxed a bit. With Dolly's caution, he would definitely not reveal anything.

He took out a small bag from his arms, a much smaller bag than the last time, and said, "I can only get so many magic crystals. I'll give them all to you."

Dolly didn't take it directly, but looked at him and said, "Why?"

Cardia's lips twitched, and he said, "For no reason. I just like you."

Dolly's face was gloomy. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his desire for magic crystals, and pointed outside, "If you want to trade fairly, we can continue to trade. If you want to give it to me, then forget it. Favors from big shots like you are not easy to repay."

Concocting a poison for him once caused so much trouble. There would definitely be more trouble in the future.

Cardia's face darkened, and he slowly put the bag away. He knew Dolly's personality and wouldn't change easily.

"Then we'll talk about it later. I'll keep these things for you. If there are any medicines for warriors, you can keep them for me. I'll buy them when the time comes. Also, I'm a level one swordsman, close to level two."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Hearing this, Dolly was shocked. This guy had been silent all day long, but he was actually an extraordinary master who had entered the ranks. Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart. If this guy wanted to harm him, it would really be a matter of one sword strike.

Entering the ranks and not entering the ranks were simply worlds apart. After entering the ranks, beating the same profession who hadn't entered the ranks was simply a piece of cake. It wasn't an exaggeration at all.

Although the wizard profession was powerful, their bodies were weak. Being approached by a swordsman was truly a disaster.

Seeing Cardia leave and quickly disappear into the darkness of the alley, Dolly couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Fortunately, this guy had no murderous intent.

Cardia left, Dolly walked to the door, closed it, and sighed softly. This guy was also a pitiful person.

But this guy had also avenged his revenge. In the future, he would probably be living for himself. What could he do to help him?

After one night, the next morning, everyone gathered at the door, and the oxcart, carrying a large amount of goods, headed out of the city and soon disappeared into the black and white world.

The sky was gloomy and the light was dim. After leaving the city, not long after leaving the mining area, they entered a road with few people. At this time, everyone quieted down and looked sharply around.

Dolly had a sword hanging on his waist. The things had already been placed on the carriage, and he walked quietly behind.
