Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Celis, the Second-Class Observer of the Tower of Order, stood on the scorched land and looked around. “Interesting. An Apprentice can actually trigger elemental fluctuations of such energy.”

He squatted down and picked up a piece of charred wood. “It should be at the Wizard level.”

Judy, the Second-Class Observer, said, “It’s based on the power of the magic array.”

Celis said, “Even the power of the magic array is pretty good. Few Wizards have mastered this kind of knowledge, and the one who arranged all this is just an Apprentice.”

Judy nodded. “Indeed.”

Few Wizards studied the content of the knowledge of the magic array in depth, and it was rare for an Apprentice to master this level.

Celis continued to ask, “Who is he?”

Judy took out a black notebook with a quill attached to it from her wide sleeves. On the buckle of the leather card was the face of a monster.

She picked up the quill and tapped on the face on the notebook. “Report.”

“Yes, Honorable Judy.”

The notebook made a sound and then automatically opened. The pages flew everywhere. After a series of clattering sounds, it stopped on a page that recorded densely packed content.

And on top of it, it was Heath’s information.

Judy looked at it as she read Heath’s past as if it was a family treasure. “His name is Heath Noen. He was brought here from the Forgotten Land by Sato three years ago. He recommended to enter the Shadow Tower to study.”

“He performed very well after entering the Shadow Tower. He advanced to a low-level Apprentice in less than half a year. After that, he received a compulsory mission from the Tower and went to Reiden City to defend.”

“During the defense, he eliminated a Forest Banshee left behind by a Dark Wizard Apprentice.”

“After that, he participated in the war between the Red Devil’s Blood and Shadow Tower and was assigned to the Twilight Fortress war zone…”

Celis could not help but ask, “He went to the battlefield? How was his performance?”

Judy looked at the information, and her expression became a little strange.

Celis asked, “Why?”

Judy hesitated for a moment. “You should read it yourself.”

She could not think of any suitable adjectives. Even from the perspective of a Wizard, she felt that this Apprentice was a little strange. She even suspected that there was something wrong with the information book.

Celis took the information book in surprise and started reading it.

After reading it, his eyes lit up.

“He killed the enemy at the last minute, led the army in battle after the commander died, and even defeated an advanced Apprentice with an official Wizard tool… Haha, this kid is quite good at fighting!”

Judy said, “I’ve never seen such an Apprentice with such a serious bias.”

The information said that he was still a Knight.

Celis said, “He’s just energetic. He can’t be satisfied with only the science of Wizards.”

Judy said, “A genius?”

Celis nodded and said, “Whether we are willing to admit it or not, we all know that geniuses do exist. There are such a group of people in this world. The content that others can only learn after racking their brains is not worth mentioning in their eyes.”

“They can easily learn what others cannot learn, and easily achieve what others cannot achieve.”

“This is talent, and it is not something that can be envied.”

Judy said, “But according to the information, he only has the physique of a low-level Wizard.”

Celis frowned. “Low-level?”

Indeed, it was a little too low.

He continued to ask, “What about the bloodline?”

Judy replied, “Mudblood.”

Celis said with slight disappointment, “That’s really a pity…”

The path of Wizards either had outstanding talent or a huge amount of resources. If he couldn’t get either, then it would really be… Difficult to move forward.

Judy asked, “Should we register him on the candidate list?”

Celis thought for a moment and nodded. “Let’s record it for now. As for other aspects… we’ll see in a few years. If he’s still alive, then we’ll consider it when the time comes.”

“Yes.”

…

More than a month later, in the capital city of the Kingdom of Navi, Caleru City.

After more than a month of traveling, Heath arrived at the first town he passed after embarking on his journey.

This was a human city-state located on the east side of the Underdark Treesea. Its population was about 100,000, and it was the capital city of the Human Kingdom of Navi. From here to the south was Heath’s destination, the Magic Bug Forest.

After wandering in the wilderness for so long, Heath was a little tired. It was rare for him to come to a human city-state, so he decided to stay here for two days to recuperate.

At this moment, in front of the gate of the city of Caleru, a long line had already formed under the towering city gate. They were all civilians waiting to enter the city.

Stuck in the line, Heath listened to the whispers of the people around him.

“I heard that your Helan Kingdom is in chaos. Is that so?”

“A son hacked a father to death. For the sake of that crown, there is no longer any law and order. The six great Counts have joined hands to oppose the tyrant’s rule, and the nobles are attacking each other. That is not chaos, but a complete loss of order.”

“It’s the same in the neighboring kingdom of Kara. I just escaped from there, and it’s a mess.”

“I’m afraid the Kingdom of Navi isn’t a safe place either. I heard that two days ago, news came that His Majesty the King has been unwell for several days. It’s neither too early nor too late…”

“You mean…”

“Shh, lower your voice. Can’t you see that there are people hanging on the city wall?”

“Sigh, let’s hope that something terrible doesn’t happen. I just escaped from the Brun Kingdom. I don’t know where I can run to if I keep doing this…”

“What’s going on in this world?”

“Who knows…”

The human world was governed by the Wizard World, and the Wizard World was in chaos. Naturally, the human world couldn’t be left alone.

The human world that was affected also began to become chaotic. Recently, several countries had erupted into war for various reasons.

If this continued, it was only a matter of time before it burned.

Da! Da! Da! Da!

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.

They saw a team of cavalrymen coming from afar.

They were dressed in black and wore black armor. They were fully armed to the teeth and looked extremely murderous.

The cavalrymen quickly entered and the crowd immediately started discussing.

“That emblem… It’s Earl Robertson. Why did he suddenly come here?”

“Count Robertson? Isn’t that the Second Prince’s matriarchal family? To appear here at a time like this…”

The king of the kingdom had had three wives in succession. Each of the three wives had given birth to a son for him, and the one who had just passed by was the second son’s matriarchal family.

Just as the news of the King’s health had spread out from the palace, Count Robertson, who was far away at the border, had brought his troops into the city in full gear. Even children who did not know anything on the streets felt that this city was unusual.

And the development of the matter indeed followed everyone’s guess…

The next day, early in the morning.

The palace herald pasted the notice that had just been drafted onto the outer wall of the square.

He announced with tears in his eyes, “Our respected King unfortunately lost his life to illness last night.”

“His Majesty made a posthumous edict on his deathbed, appointing the Second Prince, Ishe, to succeed the throne…”
