《Witcher: I Can Extract Everything》Chapter 16: Farewell

"No way? Really? How is this possible?"
"Could there be a mistake?"
"Wizard talent? How could he detect Wizard talent?"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Everyone couldn't understand. There was a one in 100,000 chance. There weren't that many people in a country. How could someone be so lucky?
Only Heath knew that this was not luck at all.
He knew the answer from the beginning. This was the main reason why he dared to keep testing!
The old Wizard checked the crystal ball. This was the first time he had seen such a situation.
However, after looking around, he did not find anything wrong with the crystal ball. He could not help but confirm, "Although it is hard to believe, you really tested out the elemental constitution, child."
After getting the confirmation from the old Wizard, the crowd was completely excited.
"It's really the talent of a Wizard! It really detected the talent of a Wizard!"
"Wizard... Wizard, he's going to become a Wizard!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Heath. There was envy, jealousy, and even more visible passion.
A Wizard, this was an omnipotent Wizard!
Although Wizards could not interfere with the secular world because of the rules, the benefits of befriending a Wizard were still unimaginable.
For a moment, the men began to rack their brains. The women quietly pulled down their collars, and everyone's heart beat faster.
The conversation at the table was not over yet.
The old Wizard continued, "According to the rules, you can choose to go to the continent across the sea with me, to the Wizard World, or you can choose to stay. Think about it and give me an answer."
After a pause... The old wizard added with a complicated expression, "I hope you will think carefully before making a decision. Although you have talent, your talent is very weak. If you go on the path of a Wizard, it is very likely that you will have a hard time. You may even put in countless efforts but in the end, you will not get the reward that you deserve."
He asked, "I heard that you are already a Knight, right?"
Heath nodded, "Yes."
The old Wizard advised, "Believe me, if you stay and persist on your Knight path, it will definitely be more suitable for you than the Wizard path, and your life will be much more fulfilling. Alright, go back and think about it. Think about it carefully before giving me an answer."
Heath shook his head, "No need, I want to become a Wizard."

If not for the system, he might have chosen carefully. But with the system, talent was not a problem for him!
The old Wizard sighed. "Why? Everyone always thinks that becoming a Wizard will give them more time. Little do they know that the time of a Wizard is actually spent chasing after time. The time they truly enjoyed is even worse than that of ordinary people. Immortality is not that easy."
After a sentimental sigh, the old Wizard nodded and said, "I respect your decision. I will stay here for seven days. Come back to the manor in seven days. I will take you to the Wizard World."
After a pause, he continued, "If you have any wishes that you want to settle before this, do it as soon as possible. Say goodbye to yourself as a mortal."
Heath replied, "Yes."
The wishes continued until the end.
After the Wizard left, Heath became the main character in the hall.
"Knight Heath, I am Count Arnold of Blue Swamp Castle. I would like to have a word with you."
"Knight Heath, I am Princess Anna of the Osse Dukedom. Princess Crimson is my sister. I would like to have the honor of inviting you to dinner."
"Knight Heath..."
The high and mighty prince, the noble, and the extraordinarily beautiful princess surrounded Heath, lowering their status and reserve, all for the sake of having a chance to interact with him.
The enthusiasm was so intense that Heath could not breathe.
Just when Heath felt like he was about to suffocate, Baron Carter walked up and pushed the crowd aside. "I understand everyone's enthusiasm, but my Knight still has official business to attend to. I hope everyone can understand."
After saying that, he did not care about how the others reacted. He pulled him out of the crowd and left the manor under the protection of a group of Apprentice Knights.
He returned all the way to a mansion of the Noen family in White Water Harbor.
The Baron looked at Heath in surprise. "Heath, you really surprised me."
Heath said, "I'm as surprised as you are."
The Baron smiled. "Good luck follows you, but I still have to say that you have set a bad example for everyone. Many people have wasted the Magic Stones in their hands. They could have exchanged for more suitable ones."
Seeing that Heath had detected a Wizard's talent, many people were eager to try. After him, many people went up to gamble, but all of them failed in the end.
Heath shrugged and did not say anything. He could not control the greed of others.

The Baron did not continue this topic. He took out a cloth bag and handed it to Heath. "This is a gift for you. Congratulations, future Wizard."
Heath took the bag and looked at it. His expression could not help but change.
It was full of Magic Stones.
The Baron said in a caring and friendly tone, "Here are 100 Magic Stones. It's more convenient for you to take some Magic Stones alone."
To be honest, although he knew that the Baron was just trying to win over people's hearts, Heath was still very grateful at this time.
It should be known that a Graystone Mine could only produce a total of one to two thousand Magic Stones. It was already generous of the Baron to give him 100 Magic Stones.
Heath said gratefully, "Thank you, Baron."
The Baron shook his head and continued in a friendly manner, "You don't have to thank me. No matter where we go in the future, always remember that Graystone Castle is your home. You can come back whenever you want."
Heath nodded. "Yes."
The Baron glanced at the Apprentice Knights who were waiting not far away. He turned around and said, "Well, go and say goodbye to your friends. Have a good time this week. The castle will bear the expenses."
"Yes."
The Baron left.
The Apprentice Knights immediately surrounded him.
"Hey, Heath, are you the illegitimate child of the Goddess of Luck?"
"Sir Wizard, can I kiss your toes?"
"I suck! I suck! I suck as hard as I can!"
...
Everyone booked an entire tavern under the name of Heath's farewell party and called a large group of girls from several brothels in the city. With the Baron's golden words, everyone was generous.
Heath originally did not intend to go, but he could not resist everyone's enthusiasm. In the end, he chose to go. No matter what, he had been with them for nearly a year. Eating, sleeping, and training together, they were more or less friends.
At the banquet, everyone ate wantonly, drank wantonly... Of course, there was no lack of wantonly fun.
Tasting women, riding horses, fighting, picking mushrooms, there were countless types of things. Heath had never seen anything like it. It gave him a taste of the open customs of the Middle Ages.
After the banquet was over, the Apprentice Knights took their girls back to their rooms. Kayla and Heath also walked to their rooms.
Kayla was drunk at the party. He was already staggering. His wife and daughter supported him on his left and right.
Even so... the drunkard who was full of women still shouted, "Rosa, call your mother over. Tonight, the three of us will sleep together! It will be the same from now on! There is no need to hide the fact that we slept together. She has to accept it whether she wants to or not!"
The two women's faces turned green. Although their relationship was indeed like that, it was not something honorable. There was no reason for them to open their mouths and talk about it everywhere.
Moreover, the mother and daughter had been deliberately concealing this topic. They usually pretended to be completely unaware of it. Now that this bastard had exposed it, the problem was how to get along with each other in the future.
Kayla's wife, Nasta, quickly said to her daughter next to her, "Rosa, quickly help your father back to his room to rest."
Rosa didn't dare to look at Nasta's eyes, and said with a flustered expression, "Oh... Yes... Yes, Mother."
The girl helped Kayla and left.
The beautiful young woman who stayed behind awkwardly explained to Heath, "Ahem! Wizard, my husband likes to talk nonsense when he's drunk. Sorry to have embarrassed you."
What could Heath say? Of course, he pretended not to hear it clearly. "Ah? Did he say anything just now? Sorry, I didn't pay attention."
The beautiful woman looked at Heath gratefully.
"Then I won't disturb you to rest, Wizard. My husband is still waiting for me to take care of him."
"Well, go quickly. I need to rest too."
Nasta bowed and turned to leave. Heath immediately returned to his room.
Alisa was tidying up the house in the room.
When a Knight from a farm went out, he could not go out with a horse and a sword like an Apprentice Knight. He had to bring his squires, attendants, servants, and so on. So, Heath brought Alisa with him on this trip.
Seeing Heath come in drunk, Alisa quickly went forward and said, "My Lord, I'll get you some water."
Heath raised his hand and waved. "I won't wash today."
He had also drunk a lot on the wine table, so he was too lazy to go and mess around.
After saying that, Heath kicked off his shoes and socks roughly and fell on the big bed next to him.
In a daze, he suddenly felt a pair of hands moving around his body and taking off his clothes.
He knew that Alisa was helping him tidy up, so he did not pay attention to her.
However, as he was tidying up, he suddenly felt that something was not right...
Heath hurriedly opened his eyes.
Under the blanket, Alisa was buried in her work..
