The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 229: Rewards are still the fastest way to make money

The smoke of battle gradually dissipated, and the misty forest regained the breath of life.

The Elf Queen stood in the center of the shining natural light, surrounded by blooming flowers and new buds.

Her hands were raised high, still emitting a dazzling light, which was the mark left after she had just broken through the fourth ring.

This power not only shocked the dark wizards, but also made all members of the elves feel extremely proud and excited.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

The elf shouted excitedly and couldn't help waving the staff in his hand.

They could feel the queen's power, which made all the elves feel a sense of security.

"Queen, you are so great!"

Another young elf also shouted excitedly, clapping her hands vigorously, her face full of admiration and joy.

At this moment, every life in the forest is cheering, whether it is the tall trees, colorful flowers or cheerful little animals.

The birds were flying in the air, chirping non-stop, and their songs echoed throughout the forest.

Even the small plants that had been injured but had not yet healed began to stretch their branches and leaves to welcome the breakthrough of the Elf Queen.

"The Queen will lead us to restore our glory and make the Misty Forest prosperous again!"

The other old man was very emotional. He clenched his fists tightly, and his firm words instantly resonated with more people around him.

"Praise our queen! Praise the power of nature!"

Along with these shouts, waves of warm and sincere cheers surged like a tide, resounding throughout the misty forest.

Amid the cheers, the Elf Queen closed her eyes slightly.

She knew that what she shouldered was not only a responsibility, but also the pursuit of future survival and prosperity for the entire ethnic group.

"The power of the four rings is indeed strong." David showed surprise in his eyes.

This was the first time he felt the power of the fourth ring, which indeed far surpassed the third ring.

After reaching the fourth ring, one can be called a great wizard, and his realm has completely surpassed that of a three-ring wizard.

Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and once again controlled the Death Demon Tree to continuously absorb the life energy and souls of those dark wizards.

Afterwards, he borrowed the power of the Death Tree and began to devour some of the incomplete memories of these dark wizards.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

These dark wizards are indeed subordinates of that bloodline wizard.

It seems that the blood wizard's temptation has never ended, but after learning that the Elf Queen has broken through to the fourth ring, it should be quiet for a while.

David immediately told the Elf Queen the news, which made the Elf Queen's brows relax a little.

"That's not enough."

"I still need to give the blood wizard some trouble."

David narrowed his eyes.

This time, the dark wizard is a very good breakthrough point.

He could find a way to hand over the bodies of these dark wizards to the Wizarding Alliance of the Alien Continent.

There are also wizards on the alien continent, and there are branches of the Wizarding Alliance that are responsible for monitoring the situation on the alien continent.

These dark wizards must be on the wanted list of the Wizarding Union.

In addition, he can also tell the Wizarding Union the news about the four-ring bloodline wizard.

Of course, he won't do it himself, he just needs to condense a clone to do it.

David stood in a quiet forest. The moonlight shone through the treetops, casting a cool silver glow. He was thinking about his next plan in his mind.

The air around him seemed to become heavy with his thoughts. The bodies of the dark wizards were still lying on the battlefield, with a look of abandoned despair.

He knew that these corpses were not only important materials for his further plans, but also important signals to attract the attention of the Wizarding Alliance on the alien continent.

"Need to condense the soul clone."

David muttered to himself, and his hands began to draw complex and mysterious runes in the air.

He closed his eyes, his mind gradually calmed down, and he focused his thoughts.

A faint but clearly visible figure slowly emerged from beside David. It was his soul clone.

This time, what he condensed was still the beast soul, and he could exert the strength of a second-ring wizard.

It is not so easy to go to the wizard gathering point. Among the many gifted souls in his body, only the beast transformation talent has reached the second ring.

Although there will be certain dangers this time.

But he did need to go to the wizard gathering point to collect some resources for practice.

If this beast clone is destroyed, with Cynthia, who has already reached the first level of strength, he can condense it again.

"Go."

David ordered softly, injecting his thoughts into the clone and telling it to move toward the north of the alien continent.

The light moved in response, disappeared into the night sky at an incredible speed, and flew towards the wizard gathering point.

At the same time, deep in a hidden canyon on the alien continent, a wizard gathering point was flashing a mysterious and strange light.

This is a small town hidden from the world, surrounded by towering, twisting, snake-like magical stone walls.

There are many small pavilions of different styles here. Each building exudes an ancient and long-lasting atmosphere, and is engraved with complex and mysterious runes.

The air is filled with a thick and magical atmosphere, making people feel as if they are in another world.

In the gathering point, various figures of various shapes and sizes were moving around. Some were wearing robes and sashes, some were holding sticks and pens, and each was busy with their own affairs.

Here, some people concentrate on studying ancient magic scrolls, while others sit around the fire and engage in heated arguments.

This area is filled with a thick yet exciting atmosphere of uncertainty. Everyone understands that in this place where taboos and knowledge converge, nothing is impossible.

"It is said that a new target has appeared." An old wizard with long flowing beard, who looks old but has bright eyes, whispered.

He and several other companions stood by the fire, flipping through the logbook and discussing recent important intelligence. "The activities of dark wizards have been frequent in recent times. This is not a good sign."

Another young wizard held up the scroll in his hand, on which was densely recorded a series of information from the Misty Forest.

"I heard that there was a fierce battle in the Misty Forest recently, involving a conflict between elves and dark wizards."

"We are responsible for monitoring this area. If there is any opportunity, we must take action immediately!" As soon as the young wizard finished speaking, a flashing unknown light suddenly appeared, causing a commotion.

This ray of light was exactly the soul clone condensed by David, and it instantly attracted the attention of everyone around him.

In this quiet yet undercurrent town, people couldn't help but stop and cast their eyes on the dazzling and charming clone that shines like a star.

They immediately recognized that this was a soul clone, but this soul clone actually exuded the aura of a second ring. It was hard for them to imagine how powerful the owner of this soul clone was!
David's soul clone slowly landed in the center of the wizard gathering point. The surrounding wizards immediately gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity and caution.

The light and shadow emitting the aura of the second ring seemed particularly mysterious in their eyes.

David clearly felt the attention of the wizards around him, and his face looked very calm.

His extraordinary perception was activated, and he quickly discovered the location of the Wizarding Union branch and walked straight over.

"Hello, powerful wizard, what can I do for you?" asked a female wizard.

The soul clone David condensed said in a steady tone, "I brought important information about the dark wizard."

The witch was startled when she heard this, and quickly said, "Please wait a moment, I need to ask the master for instructions."

After a while, a majestic and noble voice sounded: "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Alta, the head of the Wizarding Union's Alien Continental Branch."

A tall female wizard with flowing silver hair and sharp eyes walked over. She was surrounded by a faint light, and it seemed that she was releasing powerful magical fluctuations with every step she took.

Three rings.

David made a judgment, "Witch Alta, I came here mainly to report important information about the dark wizard."

"Please elaborate."

The Alta Witch sat down and looked down at him.

She raised her hand slightly and a soundproofing array appeared to avoid interfering with the important conversation between her and her soul clone.

David nodded, and then said, "I brought important information about the dark wizards. I also have information about their corpses and important information about a fourth-ring bloodline wizard."

"You made it very clear." Alta listened carefully and nodded from time to time. "However, this information needs to be verified."

"Of course," David replied.

"But before that, I need to make sure you can keep it secret so as not to attract the attention of other forces."

The Alta witch frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by his request.

But she quickly adjusted her expression and showed the demeanor of a leader. "I understand your concerns. We really need to maintain absolute secrecy."

She waved her hand to summon several wizards, asking them to stand guard outside the circle and ensure that no one else could interfere with this important meeting.

Then, turning to David, she said, "Please tell me what information you have."

"I found a group of dark wizards in the Misty Forest. They were performing some forbidden rituals."

David began to describe in detail, "These corpses are dark wizards, and I also learned the information of a fourth-ring bloodline wizard who is the mastermind of this activity."

Alta looked at the dark wizards taken out of the space ring by David and began to identify them carefully.

She immediately confirmed that these were indeed wanted dark wizards. After a moment's silence, she asked, "What is the identity of this fourth-ringed wizard?"

"Regarding this fourth-ringed wizard, he calls himself Mihai and is a member of the Dark Council."

“He is trying to gain greater power by performing a series of rituals to open the passage to the abyss,” David replied.

This information naturally comes from the vampire prince and those dark wizards.

"Very good." Alta nodded and looked at a young man next to her.

"You will be responsible for recording this information and preparing the relevant team action plan. At the same time, notify all members to pay close attention to the movements in the Misty Forest."

Next, the Alta witch listened carefully and recorded key details from time to time.

As the discussion deepened, she attached more and more importance to the news. "If this information is true, we will definitely issue a warrant for the arrest of this fourth-ring bloodline wizard."

"And to express our gratitude and reward, we will give you a reward of 50,000 magic crystals."

Hearing this, David was shocked. He did not expect that the reward for hunting down dark wizards would be so generous.

Fifty thousand magic crystals. Even at the Lone Whale Market, it would take a long time to earn that much. For him, it was a complete windfall.

David's soul clone received a generous reward in the Alta witch's office and left directly.

Then, he secretly thought about what to buy, which was also one of the main reasons why he came to the wizard gathering point.

Soon after, he used the art of stealth to conceal his figure and breath, and came to a busy area in the center of the wizard gathering point, where was a bustling market.

On the small stalls around, there are all kinds of strange and glittering items, including ancient scrolls, rare herbs, magic tools and various precious materials.

The air is filled with a thick and mysterious atmosphere, which makes people feel excited involuntarily.

David first walked over to a booth filled with clear bottles labeled "Rare Alchemical Elixirs."

The shop owner is a dwarf with an old face but full of energy. He seems to be proficient in various alchemy techniques, and the bottle in his hand sparkles with an alluring luster.

"Welcome! There are many types of potions here, including healing potions, physical and mental enhancement potions, etc. What do you need?"

"I need some high-level recovery potions and soul enhancers." David said.

He knew that these potions could not only help him restore his energy, but also boost his strength at critical moments.

Of course, these potions are mainly prepared for the elves.

He may leave the alien continent after a while, and before that he will continue to help the elves accumulate their foundation.

The dwarf nodded and quickly took out a few exquisite small bottles. "These two are the most popular products in our store. Each bottle costs one hundred magic crystals."

After several rounds of bargaining, David successfully purchased ten bottles of various potions, spending a total of one thousand magic crystals.

He put these into the small bag he carried with him and continued walking forward.

At the next few stalls, he also bought some important materials needed to cast advanced magic circles, which cost him a total of more than 30,000 magic crystals.

Just as David was about to leave, he found an inconspicuous little stall in a corner of the market.

The stall looked a bit old and covered in dust. The customers around it didn't seem to be interested in it and business was slow.

There were a variety of items on the stall, including scrolls with an ancient feel, strange magical instruments, and a few pieces of jewellery that emitted a faint glow.

David was attracted by an intuition. He walked slowly closer and saw a small wooden box that was tightly sealed. There were strange and complex runes carved on the box, but there was no energy fluctuation.

This is a woman who looks old but still has sharp eyes. She smiled and said, "What would you like to order?"
