Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 99: Leave

Heath was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn’t expect to meet someone here. Moreover, it was someone he was familiar with.

However, after a short moment of daze, he quickly recovered and nodded slightly in accordance with the etiquette. He gave her a greeting with his eyes, and the latter did the same thing.

Then, Heath continued to walk forward.

Over the past two years, Heath had gradually gotten used to the rhythm of the Wizard World.

The physical relationship between Wizards did not mean anything. It was just a way to get pleasure, just like how two strangers in the human world talked to each other and shared a table to eat.

In the end, he and Shirley only needed each other physically, there was no special relationship.

However, in the moment when they passed each other, Shirley suddenly said, “Are you leaving?”

Shirley’s sudden conversation surprised Heath.

It seemed that this was the first time he had heard Shirley talking to him in the past two years.

After Shirley had gotten the Holy Spirit Flower, she had solved the problem of her own needs. After that, the two of them did not have much contact. Although they had met a few times in the Tower in the past two years, they did not talk much.

Two years was not a long time for a Wizard. It was as if it had happened yesterday.

Heath smiled and said, “Yes, it has been approved by the Wizard.”

Shirley’s mouth moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said, “Take care.”

Heath nodded and smiled. “You too.”

Shirley nodded and then left without looking back.

Heath also continued on his journey.

…

It was night, the Underdark Treesea, the Place of Resolution.

The Place of Resolution was an empty space in the middle of the Underdark Treesea. Every time there was a major event involving the various Wizard organizations in the Underdark Treesea, the Wizards would convene the Underdark Council here.

The area of the Place of Resolution was not big, about 1,000 square meters. It was paved with polished stone slabs. There were stone sculptures on the ground, and each stone sculpture represented a Wizard from the Underdark Treesea.

Every time there were new Apprentices in the Underdark Treesea, the Guardian of the Place of Resolution would erect a statue of a new Wizard here. Every time a Wizard fell, the Guardian would destroy the stone statue.

With the statue, it meant that they had the right to participate in the Place of Resolution of the Underdark Council.

At this moment, in the Place of Resolution.

In the Place of Resolution, there were already many figures gathered. There were Witches in tall hats, male Wizards in cloaks, and some even maintained their animal forms such as black cats and crows.

These were all Wizards from various Wizard Organizations in the Underdark Treesea. At this moment, more than 60 people had gathered. There were also Wizards coming one after another.

It was as if they had walked into a marketplace. All kinds of arguments echoed above the Place of Resolution.

“The Moonlight Forest is what cursed by our blood source. That place was the habitat of our blood source curse a thousand years ago. It was taken away by the bandits of Shadow Tower.”

“Hahaha, you want to tell us about what happened a thousand years ago? Then I can still say that the entire Underdark Treesea belongs to us!”

“Why should the Moonlight Forest belong to you? Did you participate in the attack on Shadow Tower this time? That place should belong to our Ivory Tower. If it wasn’t for us, Shadow Tower wouldn’t have given in so easily!”

“Unless your Ivory Tower wants to start a war with us!”

“If the decision can’t bring about fairness, then what’s the point of holding it? It’s better to rely on our fists!”

“Well said, then let’s do it!”

Patrick, who had just entered the Place of Resolution, frowned. He raised the mithril scepter in his hand, and at the top of the scepter was a blue diamond-shaped crystal.

As he moved, the crystal also lit up with a faint white glow.

As if they had seen some kind of terrifying monster, fear appeared in the eyes of the Wizards. They retreated one after another and subconsciously lowered their heads.

They were terrified.

“Scepter! It’s the Ruler’s Scepter!”

“Dark Scepter, the Ruler of Darkness!”

Dark Scepter: The symbol of the ruler of the Underdark Treesea.

Looking at the reactions of the Wizards, Patrick’s eyes had an inexplicable sense of pleasure. He subconsciously raised his chin.

He ordered, “Quiet, we are here to hold a meeting, not to quarrel. As the ruler of the world, are you going to let the mortals see a joke?”

However, the Wizards did not calm down as he had expected.

A small Wizard stood out, “Patrick, are you giving orders? What right do you have?”

Patrick said, “I just hope that you can stop arguing.”

A black cat licked its paws and said, “Then put down that damn scepter. There is no one who is the ruler here!”

“You should hand it over to the real ruler!”

“Ruler? Who? Is it you?”

Patrick frowned and was about to say something, but at this time, a series of uneasy footsteps sounded from afar.

Then, he saw a female Apprentice of Labyrinth Academy running over.

If Heath was there, he would definitely be able to recognize her at a glance. This female Apprentice was none other than Mina, whom he had a brief encounter with in the secret realm.

Mina ran to the decision place and seemed to want to rush in, but was blocked by a layer of energy shield.

She quickly shouted, “Father! Father!”

Patrick heard her shout and waved his hand, and the energy shield disappeared.

Mina rushed in.

A Wizard in the field said disdainfully, “Even the Shadow Tower won’t hold a scepter in one hand and brazenly break the rules with the other.”

Mina came to Patrick’s side.

She looked anxious and whispered into Patrick’s ear, “Father, we just received news from the Raven. The Evernight Wetland attacked us and the Academy Castle was robbed by them!”

Patrick was shocked, “What!”

He looked around and said in anger, “Elklin, where is that b*stard, Elklin!”

“There’s no Elklin here. The people from Evernight Wetland haven’t arrived yet.”

Patrick roared, “Today’s Council is temporarily canceled, I want to put that bastard on the test bench and make a specimen!”

After saying that, he walked out.

However, before he walked out of the field, two Wizards blocked his way. They were the Blood Witch of the Red Castle and Wizard Philip of Crescent Bay.

The Blood Witch said, “Patrick, you need to leave the scepter before you can leave.”

Philip said, “No matter who it is, once you leave the Place of Resolution during the council period, you will voluntarily give up the right to make a resolution. This is the rule!”

Patrick raised his scepter. His eyes were red. “The rule, I am the rule now!”

“No!”

“You are not.”

The Wizards shook their heads and took out their respective wands.

…

In the dark forest, in a forest to the east of Shadow Land.

Heath stood in front of a Soul Grass and was extracting it.

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.001]

After the extraction, he conveniently put the Soul Grass into his dimensional pocket.

Although this plant was only a worthless supplementary material, it was very useful for the spell [Soul Guard] that he had just learned recently. He could use it to refine potions later.

It was impossible for him to master an official-level spell with his current strength, but he could start learning some basic knowledge, including the core of the spell, the Half-Life Soul.

According to the content of the spell, Heath had successfully cut off part of his soul a few days ago and successfully made a Half-Life Soul.

However, the Half-Life Soul that he had just made was very weak. He needed to use a large number of soul-type materials to raise it and absorb a large amount of soul power.

“It seems to be the Forest of Souls up ahead. I’ll go in and take a look later. I remember quite a lot of soul materials inside…”

Soul science wasn’t Heath’s main subject in the past, so naturally, he didn’t have too many materials related to souls. Now that he was here, he might as well go in and collect some.

The Forest of Souls was originally the resource area of Shadow Tower. Although it was now deprived, he believed that the other Wizard organizations wouldn’t be able to cut the cake and divide the profits so quickly. It should be fine to go and collect some now.

With this in mind, Heath headed in the direction of the Forest of Souls.

However, not far after he walked out, he frowned slightly and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“The smell of blood! And it’s of the same species!”

The smell of blood drifted over from the front.

He quickly became alert and hid in a bush nearby. At the same time, he turned the ring on his hand and let the Ghost Scout move forward.

The Ghost Scout floated over. According to the shared vision, Heath quickly saw the scene in front of him clearly.

He saw an empty space in front of him. In the middle of the empty space, there were a few broken bodies lying on the ground. Blood dyed the ground red.

“This is… Labyrinth Academy… Red Castle… and Crescent Bay?”

Soon, he recognized the identities of these Apprentices from the cloaks they wore.

“No way, they started fighting so soon?”

He was surprised. He controlled the Ghost Guard to circle around the area. After confirming that there were no enemies, he walked forward.

He observed them in detail.

Three of the dead Apprentices were from Labyrinth Academy, and the other two were from the Red Castle and Crescent Bay.

It seemed that a fierce battle had broken out here. There were traces of spells bombarding the area. Soil flew everywhere, and the trees were charred black.

Judging from the traces of spell and the residual elemental fluctuations in the air, the participants in the battle were all Apprentices. There were more than ten of them. As for who won in the end, it was not clear, but it seemed that the Labyrinth Academy did not gain any advantage.

The Magic Stone pockets and Wizard tools on the corpses had been taken away, leaving only some personal clothes.

“This guy is… Isn’t this the guy called what’s-his-name? Oh right, it’s the kid from the secret realm!”

At this moment, Heath suddenly recognized the identity of one of the bodies. It was the male student from Labyrinth Academy who had interacted with him in the secret realm. At that time, the other party’s invisibility spell had left a deep impression on him.

A big hole had been opened in his chest, and the internal organs inside had disappeared. He stared at the gray sky with wide eyes.

Heath sighed softly. “What an unlucky guy. How sad…”

Shaking his head, Heath put away the sympathy in his heart. This was a good thing for him. There was no need to sigh.

“I wonder if I can extract that invisibility spell…”

With anticipation in his heart, he placed one hand on the Apprentice’s body. ‘Extract.’

[Beep, successful extraction. Spiritual Power +0.03]

[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained Spell [Verras’ Invisibility Manual].]

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Half-Life Energy +1]

Hearing the system’s notification, Heath was stunned.

“Spiritual half-life power can be extracted too?!”
