Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

This is an Elf?

This is an elegant and noble Elf?

Heath quickly coughed and pretended not to hear. "Ahem, what did you say, Your Highness? I'm sorry, I may have hurt my hearing in the battle yesterday, so I couldn't hear very clearly."

Irina rolled her eyes. "Tch! I thought that a younger one would be more interesting. After all, they are birds of a feather."

Heath looked at Irina with a strange expression. The way she was acting now was completely different from before, especially when compared to the banquet.

Was this her true nature? Or was she up to something?

Heath did not understand why the Princess would suddenly act this way. If it was her true nature, why did she have to show it in front of him? After all, Heath had never heard of any negative rumors about her before. It was enough to show that she had hidden it well.

Knock, knock, knock! At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the carriage.

Irina immediately returned to her usual dignified and elegant self. She then pressed a mechanism next to her. With a click, the window of the carriage opened.

Knight Aaron appeared at the door.

He bowed to Heath and Irina respectively. "Your Highness, Sir Wizard."

Irina asked, "Knight Aaron, what can I do for you?"

His graceful posture had obviously returned to its previous elegance and nobility. It was no longer the same as before.

Knight Aaron said, "Yes, Your Highness. I'm here to see Sir Wizard."

As he spoke, he handed over a plant with strange white petals. "Sir, you told us to remind you if we saw a flower with strange white granular spots on the way. Sir, do you think this is it?"

Actually, it wasn't. Aaron was holding a wildflower.

But he came at the right time.

Heath's eyes immediately lit up. "Eh? Where did you find this?"

Knight Aaron quickly pointed in a direction. "It's over there."

"Great!"

Heath quickly stood up and bowed to the Elf Princess. "Your Highness, that is a very important material for my research. I might have to excuse myself for a moment."

Irina smiled. "Of course. Please do as you wish."

Heath took the opportunity to get off the carriage.

After coming down this time, Heath did not go up again. Regardless of her nature or scheming, this girl's identity was too sensitive. It was better to stay away from her.

The journey continued.

After walking for two days to the northwest, Heath and the others finally arrived at their destination, the camp of the Valley of the Dead.

...

This was a camp built in the middle of the valley.

On the outside, there was a strategic low stone wall made of crushed stones. Behind the stone wall, there was a fence made of sharpened logs.

In front of the entrance, there were two arrow towers built with wooden shelves. There were several defensive magic circles around the arrow towers. It looked like they were heavily guarded.

There was a team of 300 people stationed here, and all of them were Knights and Apprentice Knights.

The magic power here originally had a Wizard and three Apprentices. However, the Wizard and his Apprentices had completed their tour of duty a while ago, and they couldn't wait for the replacement of the fortress. In a fit of anger, the Wizard ran away with their Apprentices.

The teams that came to the Bloody Battlefield were all limited by their tour of duty. The shortest was a few months, and the longest was two years. After their tour of duty, they could leave the battlefield regardless of whether the Wraith tide had ended or not.

And Heath had come precisely to fill the gap left by the previous spell caster.

"Is there a raven?"

"Prepare a raven for me. I have important news to report to the fort."

After settling down, Heath immediately wrote a letter, explaining the ambush by the Dark Wizards on the way here.

During the past two days on the way here, Heath had taken the time to interrogate the Dark Wizard's soul. However, the result of the interrogation was out of Heath's expectations.

There was nothing.

Her soul seemed to have been cleansed and cast a spell. When he really wanted to interrogate her soul, a strange magic power surged out of her soul and created a flame. In an instant, her soul was completely burned.

Heath's first reaction was: something was wrong.

If he had only guessed before, then now he was basically sure that the Church of Truth's appearance here was not a coincidence.

What were these neurotic guys doing?

Leave it to the fortress to worry!

...

The raven carrying Heath's letter quickly flew over the Boneyard and placed the letter on the table of the Round Table Conference.

As expected, the letter caused quite a stir at the Round Table. The appearance of the Dark Wizards, the involvement of the Church of Truth, and even the threat to the Elf Princess -- this was definitely not a small matter.

Thus, that afternoon, this letter was sent to Robert's hand with a costly spatial magic.

The Tower of Order, Robert's office.

"We should let these rulers who grew up eating sh*t see how rotten the Bloody Battlefield has become! Dark Wizards, the Church of Truth!"

"These lunatics have already left the Battlefield, but what are our rulers still doing?"

"They are still going against each other at the negotiation table for who has one more Magic Stone and who has one less warrior!"

"A bunch of idiots who grew up eating sh*t!"

Robert vented his anger and slammed the wooden table loudly.

The process of finding more people did not go smoothly. The previous few wars had consumed a lot of manpower. In addition, the Wraith tide this time was exceptionally long. It had been almost a year and there was still no end in sight. All the rulers were not satisfied with the current battle situation, they tried every means to reduce the number of warriors they sent.

After venting his anger, Robert told his adjutant, Sola, "Sola, read this letter to the rulers during the meeting. Oh right, is there anything else other than the letter?"

Adjutant Sola took out a dimensional pocket. "There are the heads of the Dark Wizards and the emblem of the Church of Truth."

Robert nodded and said, "I'd like to see what these idiots have to say now!"

After drinking the tea on the table, Robert finally calmed down.

Then, he continued, "This time, it's all thanks to Heath who brought back such important news. Five Dark Wizards and the protection of the Elven Princess. This military merit must be recorded for him."

Pausing for a moment, he asked again, "Have you figured out the matter I asked you to investigate? Why was Heath sent to the frontline?"

The Adjutant Sola hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh... it seems to be related to Wizard Winston."

Robert frowned. "Partridge?"

He said unhappily, "These people of the Partridge family are always thinking of competing for power and benefits. I've only left the fortress for a short while, and they're already starting to cause trouble for the people I like. How dare they!?"

Sola quickly changed the topic. "Then do we need to transfer Wizard Heath back?"

Robert thought for a moment.

He then said, "Since he's already there, let him stay. We can take the opportunity to train at the frontline and see how his combat adaptability is."

Sola's eyes lit up. "Sir, are you thinking of..."

Robert said, "They've been asking me to recommend a suitable talent, but I know the situation here. It's rare to find someone who's pleasing to the eye. Let's give it a try first..."
