Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Heath raised his eyebrows and teased, “Why? Is it my ability to help you grow taller now?”

Eric said, “It was you who taught me the Knight training.”

Heath thought for a moment and then remembered that there was such a thing. Before he left Golden Harbor Town, he had taught Eric some basic Knight training methods. It included basic swordsmanship skills, stance training posture, and so on.

He suddenly understood and said, “I see, so that’s how it is!”

Knight training was very helpful in promoting the growth of the body’s cells, especially for young children. Children who received Knight training were generally stronger than ordinary children.

If Eric really followed the training that he had taught him for three or four years, then it was not surprising that he was so strong.

Eric nodded heavily and said, “Yes, Teacher. I have memorized the 24 styles of swordsmanship and the basic training principles that you taught me. I have been training continuously for the past few years, and I have never slacked off.”

After a pause, Eric said gratefully, “Teacher, I am here today to thank you.”

In the past, Eric was a little beggar that no one cared about. In this world, there was a clear hierarchy. People of different social classes would only become people of different social classes when they grew up.

According to Eric’s original life path, when he grew up, he would basically join a local gang and become a hooligan. Then, one day, he would die in a fight with other gangs in an alley that no one cared about, or he would be tied to a rock and sunk into the sea.

It was because of Heath’s help a few years ago that Eric’s life path was changed. Heath helped him get rid of the control of the gang and gave him the ability to survive.

Over the years, Eric had continued to train as a Knight. He was already a somewhat famous Apprentice Knight in Golden Harbor Town. Not long ago, he had even successfully passed the assessment of the Lord of Golden Harbor Town. He had officially become a member of Golden Harbor Town’s Apprentice Knight.

Heath said, “Don’t take it to heart. This is just a small matter to me. What you have obtained now is the result of your own hard work.”

Although Heath thought so, and this was basically the truth, it was obviously impossible for him to casually say this to Eric.

Eric continued, “I don’t know how to thank you, Teacher. I heard that Teacher likes antiques, so I usually collect some antiques. This is what I have collected over the years. Teacher, see if you like it.”

As he spoke, Eric took out a package and opened it in front of Heath.

After opening the package, Heath saw some small items inside. There were seashells, pearls, rusty daggers, some coins from god knows where, and so on.

Heath raised his eyebrows and reached out to fiddle with the package. He asked curiously, “Where did you get these things?”

Eric scratched his head and said, “A part of it was a sunken ship that I found in the Canna when I was sailing with the Count’s fleet not long ago. Some of them were salvaged from the sunken ship, and some were bought from wandering merchants when I was strolling on the streets.”

After learning the skills, it became easier for Eric to earn money. In addition to growing in size and strength, Eric could easily find a job now. Whether it was working hard at the dock or working as a bodyguard for a businessman, he could easily earn money. In addition to supporting himself, he could still save a lot of money.

Because he had heard that Heath liked antiques, when he went shopping, he deliberately collected some ancient items on the street. These were all accumulated over the years.

The reason why Heath said that he liked antiques was actually because of the antiques in the Wizard World. Antiques in the secular world basically had no value to him.

However, these were all painstakingly managed by Eric. With his good intentions, of course, Heath couldn’t let others waste their expressions in vain.

Thus, he said straightforwardly, “Then, thank you… Hmm?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Heath seemed to have discovered something. He used his hand to fiddle with the pile of items and took out an item. It was a piece of currency.

This was currency made of stone. It was slightly bigger than an ordinary gold coin. On the front, there was a mermaid sculpture holding a trident. Seven gemstones were wrapped around it. Heath was already very familiar with this image. It was the Sea God Siren. On the back was carved a magnificent palace.

Heath said in surprise, “Aramsted.”

Eric asked in puzzlement, “Aramsted? Teacher, are you talking about the legendary Aramsted?”

Heath nodded. “Yes.”

He picked up the coin and flipped it over in his hand. He explained to Eric, “Eric, I think you’ve found a treasure. This is an Aramsted currency.”

Aramsted did not use the usual metal currency. Instead, it used a currency made of stone, which Eric had given him at the moment.

Eric quickly said, “Ah, really? Then do you need this thing, Teacher?”

Heath nodded. “Yes, thank you very much, Eric. I like this thing very much and it’s very useful to me. I’m willing to buy it from you. You can name the price.”

Eric shook his head and said with certainty, “Teacher, this was originally given to you by me. How could I take your money? It is Eric’s greatest honor to be able to give you a gift that you like.”

It was needless to say that he was sincerely looking for a gift for Heath. Being able to satisfy Heath was already the happiest thing. Moreover, Eric could easily earn gold coins now. He was not an extravagant and lascivious person. Money was no longer a big demand for him, so of course, he would not accept gold coins from Heath.

Seeing that, Heath did not force him. He just nodded and said, “Okay, if you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. Even if what you want is not gold coins, I can give you something else.”

Equal exchange was a Wizard’s principle. Since he was a Wizard, it was best to follow this principle when trading.

“Okay.”

Heath went to the experimental table. He picked up the stone coin and placed it on the experimental table. With one hand, he picked up a magnifying glass and studied the coin for a long time.

As if he had discovered something, he touched his chin and said in surprise, “I really didn’t expect to get such a good thing here…”
