Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 183: Decision

According to Witch Cassandra, although the Wizards sealed the body of Everett into the dimensional space, there were too many Wraiths. The dimensional rift alone could not contain so much Wraith energy.

Once the compressed Wraith energy broke through the dimensional space, the entire Western Continent would become a living hell.

Therefore, every once in a while, the Wizards of the Western Continent would organize a group of Wizards to enter the dimensional space to clean up the Wraiths inside.

“…Cleaning up the Wraiths is the responsibility of every Wizard of the West Coast. No matter what identity or where you come from, as long as you are selected, you must unconditionally shoulder this responsibility.”

After listening to Cassandra’s description, Heath could not help but ask, “Why did they choose me?”

Cassandra did not go into detail on this issue. She simply explained, “Because the Tower of Order thinks that you are outstanding enough. You are a warrior suitable to clear out the Wraiths.”

Heath frowned.

Something like Wraiths… Was definitely not an easy task.

Simply put, the negative energy particles of a Wraith were extremely powerful. Even a Wraith formed by an ordinary person could pose a certain threat to a Wizard. From this, it could be seen how difficult this thing was to deal with.

And a Wraith formed by the soul of an ancient God… The level of such energy was unimaginable to Heath…

For a moment, his expression could not help but become gloomy and uncertain.

Perhaps seeing through Heath’s thoughts, Witch Cassandra said, “Don’t think about running away. Deserters will not have a good ending no matter where they go. Even if you make up your mind to run to the Dark Wizard Region, it may not be completely safe.”

Heath said a little awkwardly, “Ahem, you’re thinking too much. I have no intention in that regard.”

Witch Cassandra said, “That’s for the best.”

After a pause, she suddenly said, “That way, I think you can choose a better cemetery for yourself in advance.”

Heath was stunned.

Witch Cassandra asked, “Do you know where the name ‘bloody’ came from in the Bloody Battlefield?”

Heath shook his head.

Cassandra explained, “From the beginning of the dimensional space’s seal, every time a warrior was selected to enter the rift to clean up the Wraiths, there would be a great number of casualties. Even at the best of times, the casualty rate will not be less than 60%. In most cases, it’s already very lucky for one out of ten warriors who entered the rift to be able to come back.”

Heath: “…”

Witch Cassandra laughed and said, “How is it? Do you need my advice? I have some research on Feng Shui and luck. I can let you reincarnate in your next life.”

Heath’s mouth twitched.

If this was really what Cassandra said, then why would he go to the Bloody Battlefield? Even if he abandoned everything and went to the Dark Wizard Region to become a Dark Wizard, he would not go.

After thinking for a while, he asked, “Teacher Cassandra, since you’re willing to tell me so much, I think you’re not just trying to make a fool out of me.”

Cassandra nodded.

Then, she opened the drawer and took out an item.

It was a rag doll that looked like it had been around for many years. It was tattered and looked no different from an ordinary rag doll. However, Heath could feel that there was an unusual surge of soul energy on it.

Witch Cassandra said, “This is a substitute doll. It’s a special Witchcraft tool made by ancient Wizards. This craft has been lost for a long time.”

“Its function is to preserve souls. As long as Wizards bind their souls to it, even if their bodies are destroyed, they can use this substitute doll to be reborn. It can ensure that you can come back alive from the Bloody Battlefield.”

Pausing for a moment, she took out a small bottle, which contained a red liquid.

She explained, “In addition, this is a bottle of Soul Mutation Potion. I think you have heard of this before, and you will need it in the future.”

When a Wizard entered the intermediate and later stages, they would begin to undergo mutation of the soul. Only after the soul was completely mutated could they advance to become an intermediate-level Wizard.

Heath looked surprised.

The value of these two things was needless to say. The Soul Mutation Potion was an indispensable and rare treasure for every Wizard. Its value was equivalent to the Wizard’s Water of an Apprentice.

As for that doll, it was even more so. It was equivalent to giving a Wizard an extra life!

He said with a strange expression, “This is for me?”

Witch Cassandra nodded and said, “Don’t be surprised. You deserve it.”

“Although the Bloody Battlefield is fraught with risks, there are countless opportunities. Outstanding performance can bring a generous reward, a reward for the warrior himself, and a reward for the Wizard territory the warrior belongs to.”

“It’s rare for our Underdark Treesea to have such an outstanding genius like you. I was looking forward to you fighting for resources for our Underdark Treesea on the battlefield.”

Heath was enlightened.

Witch Cassandra continued to ask, “Do you have any other requests?”

Heath thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t told you yet. I’ve already joined the Church of Light, and…”

Cassandra knew what Heath was referring to. Shadow Tower had spies all over the Underdark Treesea. It was not something that a third-circle spell could eradicate. She knew exactly what was happening outside.

She nodded. “As the Wizard Master of Shadow Tower and the ruler of the Underdark Treesea, I promise you that everything that the Church of Light has now will be legalized.”

“Also, in the future, the Underdark Treesea will give you a land of resources that will satisfy you.”

How refreshing!

Heath said righteously, “To be able to fight for the Underdark Treesea is the greatest honor of my life as a Wizard!”

…

The matter was thus decided. After all, Heath did not have a better choice.

Escape to another place?

Not to mention what he would do in the Underdark Treesea’s territory, even if he chose to escape, where could he escape to?

The Tower of Order and the Ruler of the Underdark had both issued a conscription order. There was only one outcome if he refused to accept the conscription, and that was to be beaten into a Dark Wizard.

The Wizard Continent was one entity from the highest to the lowest. Once one was certified as a Dark Wizard, there would be no place for them in the 13 Order Wizard Realms of the Wizard World. From then on, they could only go to places like the Dark Wizard Region and the Forgotten Land.

Their bright future would be destroyed in an instant.

As for choosing to participate in the war, although it seemed extremely dangerous, as long as he had the substitute doll given to him by Witch Cassandra, he would be able to escape unscathed no matter what. For a Wizard, as long as they could protect his soul, the rest would be a small problem.

Not to mention that his territory could be smoothly legalized, and he could even have a resource land, from which he could obtain a stable source of income.

One had to know that in the past ten years, the Church of Light had contributed many Magic Stone materials to Heath every year…

Did Shadow Tower still have the right to do so?

If it was before, Heath would have been suspicious as well. But after this incident, Heath felt that after all the chaos in the Underdark Treesea, there was only one outcome.

Not to mention other things, just the alchemy puppets outside the Wizard Master’s room were not something that many Wizard organizations could bring out in the Underdark Treesea.

Strength, in addition to the certification of the Tower of Order, the Ruler of the Underdark probably only had one name in the end…

In short, the matter was decided.

After leaving the Wizard Master’s room, Heath followed the agreement and went to the Green Bamboo Hut for the appointment…
