Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 45 - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Fight For It

5,000 Magic Stones. This was really no different from picking it up for free.

And because of this, as soon as the old man finished speaking, the entire venue was in an uproar.

“I’ll bid 10,000 Magic Stones!”

“I’ll bid 20,000 Magic Stones!”

“30,000!”

“50,000!”

…

Like a flood, the price of Elemental Water rose higher and higher. The price of Elemental Water rose by leaps and bounds and soon broke through the 100,000 mark. It continued to sprint forward for a while until it broke through 150,000. Only then did it slow down.

This price was no longer cheap. The number of Apprentices who could afford to bid could be counted on one hand.

“180,000, deal!”

The final price was fixed at the 180,000 mark. The old man hammered the small hammer down.

180,000…

Seeing this scene, Heath could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

When he heard the starting price of 5,000 Magic Stones, he originally wanted to make a bid, but he did not know that the price had already soared to the sky before he could shout it out.

The 18,000 Magic Stones in his pocket was really nothing in this kind of situation.

The auction continued.

The following items were all sorts of, including magical pets, potions, formulas, Wizard tools, blueprints, and even spell models, etc.

The prices varied, but none of them were higher than the Elemental Water from before. The cheapest item was only auctioned for a few hundred Magic Stones. Obviously, the Elemental Water was only used to liven up the atmosphere.

But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, this was an Apprentice-level auction house. Not many Apprentices could afford such an expensive item, so it was naturally less expensive.

In the face of these various auction items, Heath had also made a few moves. They were:

A potion formula that could enable people to have [night vision] effects. The starting price was 100 Magic Stones. Because there were not many people competing with him, in the end, he bought it for 300 Magic Stones.

There was also a spell model, ‘Gale’. After casting it, it could instantly increase a person’s speed, but the duration was only three seconds.

This spell’s rating was considered to be at the intermediate Apprentice level. Logically speaking, a spell model of this level would not be more than 10,000 Magic Stones on the market. Under the bidding, it might even be able to fetch a price similar to Elemental Water.

However, this spell had a huge flaw.

Generally, speed-type spells would take into account the caster’s speed, all the pressure, the damage caused by air friction, and so on, and make corresponding protective measures.

However, the creator of this spell seemed to have missed this point, which caused the caster’s body to be damaged by these factors when using this spell.

The physical fitness of an average Apprentice was actually not much different from that of an ordinary human, and could not withstand the side effects of this spell at all.

Therefore, although the starting price of this spell was only 1,000 Magic Stones, there were few Apprentices interested in it. Heath casually bid 1,100 Magic Stones and successfully bought it.

This big harvest made Heath happy for a while.

This spell might be a useless spell to other Apprentices, but it was very useful to him.

Unlike other Apprentices, he had the identity of a Knight in addition to being an Apprentice. With the iron bones of a high-level knight, the side effects of the spell were nothing at all.

In the end, Heath also bought a space pocket with a capacity of 10 cubic meters.

The spatial pocket provided by the tower only had a capacity of 2 cubic meters, which was a little too small. In the future, as his strength increased, the efficiency of collecting materials would also increase. It was better to get a bigger spatial equipment as soon as possible.

In addition, this was also an equipment that everyone was not interested in. The starting price was only 2000 Magic Stones. After two Apprentices made two random bids, it was bought by Heath for 3000 Magic Stones.

After that, Heath did not find any suitable equipment, and he spent most of the Magic Stones, so he became a spectator.

He looked at the items in the auction and occasionally glanced at the wonderful spring scenery around him…

Each seat on the second floor was equipped with a female Apprentice like Sharman, who was used to accompany the customers during the auction.

They deliberately used their bodies to stimulate the customers, making it easier for them to make irrational bids when they were in a state of confusion.

It had to be said that this was a very insidious marketing. At least Heath had seen more than one Apprentice making wild bids because they were indulging in the tenderness…

Soon, the auction was coming to an end.

The old man in charge of hosting the auction took out the last item. It was a long staff made of white bones. The top of the staff was embedded with a skull, and it looked gloomy.

Heath could clearly feel that when this item appeared, the Apprentices at the scene immediately became excited.

The old man immediately introduced, “It’s finally time again. It’s time for today’s finale item to go on the stage. Before this, I think many people present already know its identity. That’s right, this is a Wizard tool, an official Wizard tool!”

Official-grade Wizard tool. Just a few words were enough to explain its weight.

One had to know that every official-grade Wizard tool must have an official-grade spell, and official-grade spells were the power that only a real Wizard could control!

In other words, possessing an official-grade Wizard tool was equivalent to mastering the power of a Wizard!

And a Wizard was a person with a noble status!

In the entire Underdark Treesea, there were only a hundred or so real Wizards.

From this, one could see how precious this magic tool was.

The old man said, “The magic tool [Necromancer’s Scepter] has the ability to revive the dead. The starting price is 100,000 Magic Stones!”

All the Apprentices were excited and their eyes were shining.

Everyone was prepared. They picked up their Magic Stone bags and prepared to empty every Magic Stone in it to compete for this treasure.

However, at this moment, a voice rang out, loud and clear.

“Two million!”

It was the young man in front of Heath, who was putting on a live show. He lazily raised a hand and made an offer, as if he was buying a shirt and a pair of socks.

A light sentence instantly made everyone lose their imagination.

The entire place was silent, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

The old man observed for a while and then picked up the small hammer. “Two million going once, two million going twice, two million going three times, sold. Congratulations to this guest, the Necromancer’s Scepter belongs to you now.”

The Apprentices who came back to their senses were all disappointed.

“It’s an Apprentice of the Ozelun family…”

“With an Apprentice of the Wizard family here, what’s the point of competing? If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come…”

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Heath observed the young man and found the emblem of a two-headed snake on his clothes.

That was a very famous Wizard family in the Underdark Treesea and even the Old Land Continent…

…

After leaving the auction house, Heath went to the market to purchase some materials, potions, disposable scrolls, and so on in preparation for the upcoming war.

Yes, after some careful consideration, Heath finally decided to participate in the war!

The main problem was talent.

His three-dimensional attributes had already reached the peak. If his talent could not be broken through, it would be difficult for him to improve.

And the easiest way to improve his talent was to extract it from the bodies of other Knights who had died. Then, was there any other place that was easier to loot corpses than on the battlefield?

Apart from that, the talent of Wizards was also a problem.

Although he had not encountered this problem because his strength was not high yet, he would have to face the problem of talent sooner or later as his strength improved.

With his future bottleneck, he would be in a hurry to think of a solution. It was better to take this opportunity to solve the problem in advance.

Danger?

Of course, Heath knew about the danger.

However, the path of Wizards was not a peaceful path. On the contrary, every step here was full of danger.

If he wanted to go forward, he would have to face risks.

If he was unwilling to take risks, he might as well do nothing and return to the secular world to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life until he died.

Otherwise, he would fight!

Therefore, Heath chose to fight in the end for no particular reason.

It was because he was unwilling to be ordinary!

It was because…

He wanted to increase his attributes…

…

Wizard World, New Calendar, Year 1268, end of summer, Old Land, Underdark Treesea.

In the last week of this summer, the most powerful Wizard organization in Underdark Treesea suddenly issued a notice to the public. The general meaning of the notice was as follows:

The Red Devil’s Blood broke the pact that everyone had made during the Underdark Treesea gathering, refused to accept the obligations that they should have undertaken and pay the Magic Stones to the Underdark Treesea to maintain balance. All the Wizards in the Underdark Treesea suffered a great loss.

As the largest protector of order in the Underdark Treesea, it was necessary for the Shadow Tower to stand up at this time to protect everyone’s interests and uphold justice.

Therefore, the Shadow Tower hereby declared war on the Red Devil’s Blood–

Declare war!

For a moment, all the countries were shocked!
