Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

The herald left with his men.

The crowd did not show their due loyalty to the new king. Instead, they began to whisper among themselves.

"Letting the Second Prince take over the throne, this... doesn't seem to be in line with the rules, right?"

"I wonder what will happen when the First Prince returns..."

The Navi Kingdom respected the eldest son succession system. According to tradition, when the King was no longer around, the eldest son should be the one to inherit the throne. Under the circumstances where the First Prince was still alive, it was clearly against the rules to appoint the second son as the heir.

The people were all frowning.

"It's better... It's better to leave this place as soon as possible. I have a bad feeling..."

"Sigh, where else can we go? There are wars everywhere now. The war is chaotic and there are many bandits. Don't die on the road without any reason."

"Yeah, I heard that a group of bandits came to the old forest recently. The girl from the cobbler's house was kidnapped. Until now, there's no telling whether she's alive or dead."

"It's better to stay. No matter what, there's still a nest here."

At this moment, a man dressed like a gentleman walked over.

This was 'Sister Lord' Charles.

Although he was called a Lord, Charles was actually not a noble. The main reason why he had this title was because of his sisters.

He was the only son in the family, but his parents gave birth to seven sisters in one go. Each of his sisters had fair skin and beautiful looks.

So, when Charles became an adult, he started his 'sister' business, specifically introducing his sister to the city's high officials and nobles as lovers for the entertainment of the upper class.

Once, one of his sisters served a royal noble. This noble had drunk a lot of wine at that time, and on a whim, he promised to give Charles a title of Lord.

Of course, the noble did not remember this incident, but his 'sister' title of Lord was spread because of it.

Charles walked to the crowd and said in a loud voice, "Finding two corpse collectors. One silver coin for a day's wages. Anyone wants to come?"

Although he did not get the title of noble, with so many sisters as lovers of high officials and nobles, he could often get some more profitable jobs.

Hearing Charles' words, the crowd could not help but ask, "Charles, corpse collector? Why? Where did someone die?"

"Didn't I hear recently that you sent your sister to the palace? Why, did someone die in the palace?"

Charles cursed, "A bunch of b*stards, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

"The matters of the nobles are also something that you bumpkins can discuss? Just take the money to do things. Keep your mouth shut, or sooner or later, your heads will fall off."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of cutting his throat.

"Finding two corpse collectors and pay one silver coin a day. Who will come?"

"I want to try!"

At this moment, a calm voice sounded.

Charles turned his head and saw a young man in his early 20s walk out of the crowd. He had rare black hair, a fair and handsome face, and a pretty face.

He glanced up and down and said in a disdainful tone, "Can you do the hard work?"

Charles hated pretty faces because one of his sisters' virginity had been taken away by a pretty face, causing him to lose a lot of money.

Heath looked around and happened to have a huge rock at his feet.

So he grabbed down with one hand and lifted the half-meter-wide rock.

Charles' eyeballs almost fell out.

"So... so strong!"

"It's too powerful!"

Amidst the crowd's exclamations, Heath threw the stone down with a clang. He clapped his hands and asked, "Can I do it now?"

Although the soul energy was definitely stronger for Wizards, ordinary humans definitely had it too.

Since he was going to rest here for a few days, he could earn some extra money and find some corpses to do some experiments on body modification...

Charles nodded. "I didn't expect you to be so strong. Alright, I'll leave it to you. Come with me."

Heath followed Charles to the front.

When they saw where they were going, the crowd burst into an uproar.

"It's really in the direction of the palace."

"It looks like something happened in the palace."

Some people were discussing and speculating, some were worried, and some had already started to pack up and run away.

The smell of a storm was inexplicably spreading...

...

On the other side, Heath followed Charles for a while. When they passed by a remote alley, he suddenly called Charles.

"Wait."

Charles turned his head. "What?"

Heath raised his head and approached him. At the same time, he said, "Look at my eyes."

Charles was stunned.

Before he could recover, an inexplicable power invaded his mind. Charles immediately felt dizzy, and then his mind was completely out of his control.

Darkness-type spell: [Hypnotic Gaze of Darkness].

This was an illusion-type spell among the darkness-type spells. It was a spirit-type spell among the three major combat spells. Through eye-to-eye contact, one's spiritual will would invade the other's mind. It was hidden and difficult to detect, and was very practical.

Heath said, "Remember, I am the Master."

The duty of the corpse collector was only to take the corpses out and burn them. And Heath wanted to use these corpses for some experiments, so naturally, he had to control Charles first.

Charles said in a daze, "Yes, you are the Master."

Heath said, "Obey all my will."

Charles said, "Your will is better than Charles'."

The hypnotic effect of the Hypnotic Gaze of Darkness mainly depended on the Wizard's own spiritual power and the spiritual power of the hypnotized subject.

With the spiritual power of an advanced Apprentice of Heath, it was impossible for an ordinary civilian like Charles to put up any resistance. In an instant, Charles was completely enslaved by Heath.

After injecting the two wills into Charles' mind, he snapped his fingers and ended the hypnosis.

Charles seemed to have just woken up. He looked left and right, and then his gaze fell on Heath beside him.

He said in shock, "Master, ah, what happened to me?"

The Hypnotic Gaze of Darkness was not just simple hypnosis to make others' minds blur. It was directly implanting commands into the minds of others.

Once the instructions were implanted, the one hypnotized would believe them. Before the hypnosis was lifted, the hypnotized person would treat it as the truth and believe it.

For example, if a virtuous woman was implanted with an instruction that she was a prostitute, she would really think that she was a prostitute.

In addition, the daily life of the hypnotized person was still the same, and the mind was still the same.

Heath said, "It's okay, let's go."

Charles said, "Oh, okay."

The two of them walked to the center of the city and soon arrived at the palace.

As soon as they entered, Heath smelled a faint smell of blood.

It seemed that a battle had happened here. In the spacious palace, there were traces of blood everywhere. The pale-faced servants were shivering as they cleaned up the traces.

A man dressed as a guard saw Heath and Charles enter and quickly walked over. "What took you so long?"

Charles said, "There are too many people on the road, Sir."

The guard did not waste any time and immediately said, "Quickly go in and clean up. His Majesty requests that this place be restored to its original state before sunset."

Charles said, "Yes."

After passing through a corridor, the two were brought to a courtyard in the palace.

In the courtyard, there were corpses strewn all over the place. Some were dressed in the uniform of the palace guards, while others were the black-armored Knights who had entered the city the day before.

At the very front was an old man who had an extraordinary temperament and was wearing a brownish-red leather coat.

There were a few gems embedded in the side of his boots and a golden border.

The clothing of the nobles of the Kingdom of Navi had strict requirements. In this kingdom, only one person could wear such boots...

His Majesty the King.

Heath raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect to find the King's corpse.

Speaking of which, he hadn't extracted a human king yet.

At this level, he should be able to extract good things even if he was a human, right?
