Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

“Heath, the black-haired guy from Forgotten Issue 168, has advanced to a Wizard!”

“Ah! Is this for real?!”

“It’s true. Today, he came to Shadow Tower. As a Wizard, he even invited his fellow Apprentices to have dinner at the Green Bamboo Hut!”

“Per… pervert…”

“Although I knew that this guy was very fierce, this is too perverted…”

It seemed that no matter which world he was in, an academy could not hide any secrets. In just a short afternoon, Heath’s advancement to a Wizard had successfully transformed the entire Shadow Tower.

By the time Heath arrived at the Green Bamboo Hut, the Apprentices who came to see him had already filled the entire restaurant.

Seeing that Heath was not stingy, he took out a bag of Magic Stones and threw it to the Green Goblin in the restaurant. He said very casually, “Everyone who comes is a guest. All the expenses today are on my head.”

Cheers resounded.

“Heath! Heath!”

“You are the greatest Wizard I have ever seen!”

“Eternal god!”

The news was like a ‘letter’ that had grown wings. It was quickly spread. In less than half an hour, nearly a hundred Apprentices had gathered at the Green Bamboo Hut. At present, almost all the Apprentices in Shadow Tower had come.

Even the owner of the restaurant, Kata, could not help but sigh. “I’ve never seen the Green Bamboo Hut so lively.”

The upper and lower floors of the restaurant were full of Apprentices. The restaurant had to add more than ten tables to the outside of the room at the last minute. The ordinary dinner was turned into a banquet.

No matter what, Shadow Tower was the guide on the path of Wizards. Now that it had become rich, it would not be a problem to give the apprentices an official Wizard tool, let alone a meal.

During the banquet, Heath became the main character.

The Apprentices surrounded Heath in three layers, and all kinds of voices were heard.

There were also people who knew about Heath’s return and asked him about the Bloody Battlefield, such as Daniel.

Daniel, who came from the Darth family, was the only official Apprentice at the banquet. He was invited to the banquet purely because of his friendship with Heath.

At the banquet, he brought up this matter. “Heath, I heard that you accepted the recruitment to the Bloody Battlefield. Is this true?”

An Apprentice who did not know the truth asked, “The Bloody Battlefield? What is the Bloody Battlefield?”

Daniel explained it in detail.

And from his words, the news about the Bloody Battlefield quickly spread.

“Ah? What? There’s such a place?”

“So our taxes and resources are closely related to this war!”

“Wizard Heath, you have to work hard!”

In fact, the Bloody Battlefield was not a secret. The reason why everyone knew so little was because it was too long. Once every hundred years, many Apprentices who knew about it would die before they could live that long.

In addition, the performance of the recruited Wizards of the Underdark Treesea on the Bloody Battlefield had always been poor, so the Underdark Treesea rarely publicized it. As time went by, very few people knew about it.

However, as the Bloody Battlefield approached, some necessary publicity would be spread. Daniel’s explanation was so detailed that it must have been ordered by the Wizards.

Daniel said, “My family will also participate in this war. I’ll write you a recommendation letter later and see if I can arrange for you to work under my family.”

Heath’s eyes lit up. “Ah? Really?”

“If that’s the case, that would be the best. I’m really grateful.”

The Darth family was similar to Magnus. They were relatively famous Wizard families in the West Coast and were ranked within the top ten. If they could have the support of such a family, they would definitely gain a lot of benefits.

The banquet continued until the end.

“Soul Washing Wine, burp! Again, give me another cup!”

“Wine, give me wine.”

“Oh… are there any Wizards playing cards together tonight? My two sisters and I are free tonight.”

“I, I, I, I, I am free!”

Those who went back to their rooms went back to their rooms. Those who went to sleep went back to sleep. Those who went to sleep by themselves… Anyway, back to our homes, back to our mothers.

Heath also left the dining room and walked to the dormitory that the Tower had arranged for him.

There is a lake on the way to the dormitory building.

Now it was late at night, the moonlight poured down, reflecting the surface of the lake shimmering. Facing the moonlight, the Moon Flowers that only bloomed under the moon by the lake also opened their buds, absorbing the moonlight to their heart’s content. The light was beautiful.

Flap, flap, flap! The sound of wings flapping could be heard.

The palm-sized Flower Goblin flew over and led the honey pot made of nut shells in its hand to collect the moonlight that was used to brew wine. After filling a small pot, it quickly flew towards the forest.

Over there, thousands of fireflies were shuttling back and forth in the forest. The flashing lights illuminated the bright Red Lantern Fruits, the curving vines, the mottled stone slabs, and the crystals on the trees.

It was like a dream!

The dreamlike magical scene in front of him caught Heath’s attention. He could not help but stop for a moment and stop by the lakeside to admire it.

Hoo! Hoo! The night wind blew, dissipating his little tipsy state. As long as a Wizard did not want to, they would not get drunk.

Da da da… Right at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard by the lakeside.

Heath turned his head, but could not help but be stunned.

A figure walked over from the lakeside. It was an old acquaintance of Heath’s, Shirley.

She was in a hurry, rushing towards the Green Bamboo Hut. When she saw Heath by the lakeside, she immediately stopped.

Standing under the moonlight, their eyes met, and for a moment, they were speechless.

After a moment, Shirley asked, “Is the banquet over?”

Heath nodded. “Yes.”

Shirley said apologetically, “I’m sorry I’m late.”

Heath shook his head. “It’s okay. It must be less important than business.”

While chatting with Jessica and the others at the banquet, Heath knew that Shirley was going to the Lost Track Forest to collect the Singing Calla Lilies. It was the northernmost forest in Shadow Land. It was a long journey.

Shirley said, “Then… I’ll take my leave first.”

After saying that, she lowered her head and turned around to leave.

For some reason, Heath felt that her mood seemed to be a little down, and the slender figure walking alone in the night wind also looked a little bleak.

At the banquet, Heath heard that her reputation was still not very good, and she was still not very popular.

She was still a lonely existence.

After some thought, Heath stopped her. “Wait.”

Shirley turned around.

Heath took out a bottle of wine and waved it in the air. “I haven’t had enough. Why don’t the two of us find a place to have a drink?”

Shirley was a little hesitant.

Actually, she was not very good at getting along with people, especially when they were alone.

But before she could make up her mind, Heath suddenly flashed in front of her and appeared in front of her.

Shirley was shocked.

Instinctively, she shrank back and at the same time, black fog surged out of her body. She threw a dark curse at him. If they were hit, any other Apprentice would definitely suffer, even if it was not fatal.

However, in front of a Wizard, it was child’s play.

Heath did not move. A gust of wind swept up from the ground and dispelled the black fog.

He then reached out his hand and grabbed Shirley, pulling her into his arms.

Heath smiled like a wizard and said, “Anyway, we are already familiar with each other. We should skip some of the complicated parts.”

Shirley was stunned.

Heath did not say anything. He bent down, picked her up, and walked to the house.

Thus, day after day…

The next few days were like this…

…

Half a month later, the Bloody Battlefield officially opened!
