Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

His vision blurred. By the time he regained his vision, Heath had already returned to the lakeside outside the entrance of the Underdark Treesea Secret Realm.

With a belly full of doubts, he immediately looked in the direction of the Wizards.

The old man who made the Wizards respect him had disappeared. There were only a few Wizards gathered on the grassland over there, chatting and laughing.

‘The trial seems to have ended…’

Heath looked around and found that the lakeside was full of Apprentices. The number of Apprentices was almost the same as before. Apparently, they had all come out.

“Heath!” Someone shouted in the distance.

Heath turned around and saw Jessica, Ender, and a few other Apprentices walking toward him.

He walked up and asked, “What happened? Jessica, why did the trial suddenly end?”

Jessica shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”

“But it might have something to do with Lord Ferde. He said something to the Wizards, and then the Wizard announced that the trial was over.”

Heath frowned and thought, ‘Isn’t this too sudden?’

He was still holding on in the snowstorm with high hopes of reaching the end, but it was over so suddenly.

It gave Heath the feeling that it was like a punch that he had painstakingly accumulated strength, but the result was…

Not to mention this, but the key point was that this trial was related to his important identity as an official Apprentice, which he was determined to win.

He thought that if he could get first place in the trial, he would be sure of it.

But now that the trial had ended so hastily, Heath was also at a loss…

At the same time.

Labyrinth Academy’s Wizard Master, Grasse, exchanged a look with Ivory Tower’s Wizard Master, Aurore. Aurore immediately got up and walked towards the gathering place of Shadow Tower’s Wizards.

Aurore, who was known as the Moon Light Wizard, bowed and said, “Dear Wizards of Shadow Tower, sorry to disturb you. Aurore has an important matter to report to you.”

Slater looked down at him and said, “Say it.”

Aurore said, “Not long ago, our Ivory Tower discovered a ruin in Star-Moon Bay.”

“Ruin?”

This topic quickly attracted the attention of the Wizards.

Wizard Davide asked, “What ruin?”

Aurore explained, “According to the results of our investigation, it should be a ruin from the Sinora Dynasty. The owner of the ruin is at least a Rank 2 wizard.”

After hearing Aurore’s words, the Wizards’ eyes lit up.

Slater asked, “Are you sure?”

Aurore nodded and said with certainty, “There should be no mistake. We have already found a fragment of the Sinora Dynasty at the entrance of the relic.”

“This time, we are here to report this matter to the Lords. I hope the Lords can send people to follow us to check the situation at the scene.”

According to the rules set by the Underdark Treesea’s Wizard organizations, any discovery of strange relics, secret realms, and so on must be reported to Shadow Tower immediately. It was a serious crime not to report it.

The Wizards had a simple exchange, and Wizard Davide took the initiative and said, “How about this? I’ll go and take a look first.”

Next to him, Wizard Gahir also stood out and said, “I’ll go with you. I want to be more familiar with Sinora’s history.”

Slater did not think too much and nodded. “Okay, I’ll leave it to the two of you.”

…

Although it was very abrupt, the trial still ended like this.

Following that, the Wizards of Shadow Tower held a simple recognition meeting to reward the Apprentices who performed well in the trial.

After the recognition meeting ended, the Wizard Lords led their Apprentices back to the base.

At this point, the trial was completely over.

…

A few days later, in Shadow Tower’s canteen.

At the dining table, Ender said indignantly, “It’s too unfair! It’s too unfair! It’s too unfair!”

“What right does that Williams have? He was clearly eliminated on the sixth floor. He’s even worse than me. What right does he have to give him the final official Apprentice spot?”

During the commendation meeting, Wizard Slater had chosen an official Apprentice as promised. A male Apprentice named Williams had just joined the Tower three months ago.

This choice made the Apprentices very dissatisfied.

Before this, the Apprentices in the Tower had more or less expected this formal Apprentice’s spot. No matter who it was, everyone had imagined that they would be the lucky one.

Now that the final result was out, it was fine to say that he was an outstanding genius, but this was just a new Apprentice who had joined the Tower only a few months ago. How could everyone accept this?

Jessica, who had always been calm, could not control her emotions at this moment. “Although I knew that there was no fairness here, this is too unsightly. Isn’t this giving us mudbloods no chance at all?”

The only difference between Williams and others was that he was a pureblood. He came from a pure Wizard family, the Snowway family.

“Everyone is working so hard. Why don’t they give us a chance…”

“This is too much!”

“Yeah, are we going to be slaves for the rest of our lives?”

The Apprentices at the dining table began to discuss. Everyone was obviously dissatisfied with the result.

Only Heath was still eating his dinner quietly, as if he didn’t care about anything around him.

Ender could not help but ask, “Heath, don’t you have any opinion at all?”

“You know, before this, we thought that you would be the one to get the official Apprentice spot after this trial.”

“Yeah, Heath was the one who suffered the most…”

“He performed so well during the trial…”

Heath interrupted everyone’s discussion, “I have nothing to say.”

After hearing Wizard Slater’s official apprentice announcement, Heath was indeed displeased for a while.

But he soon felt relieved.

Anyway, he had known what this place was like since the day he came here, so it was not strange for him to make such a choice.

The one who was really strange was himself.

Could it be that the smooth sailing all this time had caused him to have an illusion? He actually felt that he had the opportunity to stand side by side with those pure-blooded people and become a member of the rentier, sharing their benefits together?

The simple reality gave him a timely slap, reminding him of his identity and reminding him of what kind of world he was in.

This was the Wizarding World where class had completely solidified.

Nobles were nobles, slaves were slaves. No matter how outstanding a slave was, he was still an outstanding slave. The nobles would reward them and praise them, but it was impossible to pull them to the same level as them.

They would think about how to become one of them and integrate into their world. In the future, they would still think about how to get more benefits for themselves!

Heath decided in his heart.

“Eh? What’s that?”

“The Wizard ship! It’s our Wizard ship! The Wizard Master is back! The Wizard Master and the Wizards are back!”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

The table Heath and the others were sitting at was right next to the window. They could see the scene outside at a glance.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the crowd’s clamor.

They saw a huge three-masted sailboat appearing in the sky over there, slowly sailing towards the tower.

It was a Wizard ship, a type of large-scale Wizard tool.

Everyone, including Heath, put down their food and walked out of the restaurant to stand on the square outside.

They were curious, but at the same time, they followed the rules.

This kind of Wizard ship was extremely expensive. In the entire Underdark Treesea, only Shadow Tower had one. A few years ago, Wizard Master Zeras led the Wizards to explore a secret plane.

Now that this Wizard ship had returned, it must be the Wizard Master and the Wizards who had returned. According to the rules, the Apprentices had to come out to welcome them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, the sound of rushing wind could be heard.

Four figures appeared in the square. They were the four Wizards who were still in the Tower. Other than the two Wizards who had gone to the Ivory Tower to check out the ruins, the rest had gathered here.

Soon, everyone had gathered in the square.

The four Wizards stood in a row. Behind them were their students, and behind them were the ordinary Apprentices.

Everyone looked at the Wizard ship in the sky, waiting for its arrival.

“Eh? What’s wrong with that Wizard ship?”

“Why is it shaking…”

“Is it an illusion? Why do I feel like there’s black smoke coming out of it?”

At this moment, the Apprentices suddenly had a strange look on their faces.

They saw that the Wizard ship that was coming over seemed to be broken. It was flying in the air and shaking, and it was even emitting thick smoke.

“Why isn’t it slowing down? Is it going to crash into us?”

“It’s going to crash into us!”

“Oh my god, everyone, get out of the way!”

The Wizard ship rushed straight towards the main tower. It did not slow down at all, as if it was going to crash into the tower.

Wizard Slater quickly took out his short magic wand and chanted an incantation in the air.

The short magic wand released a gray-black beam of light that hit the Wizard ship, and the speed of the Wizard ship gradually slowed down.

Finally, not far from the main tower, the ship staggered and fell to the ground.

Rumble!

A loud sound was heard, and a thick cloud of smoke rose from the ground.

The huge Wizard ship tilted and fell to the ground.

Before everyone could regain their senses, a figure covered in blood stood up from the Wizard ship.

The figure opened his mouth and said a short sentence.

It seemed to have used a sound amplification spell. Although it was far away, the voice still clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

He said, “Something… Something happened…”

“Something happened to us in Pandora’s Maze. The Wizard Master and the Wizards were all annihilated!”

For a moment, everyone’s expressions changed!
