Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

"We... we don't know... Everything was done by Viscount Carson..."

"...He said to lure you here and let you be killed..."

"The reason... We think it might be related to the Partridge family..."

Heath was slightly stunned. "Partridge?"

He asked in puzzlement, "Winston?"

The only thing Heath could think of related to Partridge was Winston.

As expected.

The knight's soul explained, "Viscount Carson's family is a subsidiary family of the Partridge family. We heard that not long ago, Young Master Winston was reprimanded by Sir Robert. It is said that the reason is because of you..."

Heath narrowed his eyes.

If that was the case, then the situation could be explained.

"This Partridge family! They are really not an ordinary tyrannical family. Is there a need to do such a thing for such a trivial matter?"

Frowning, Heath waved his hand, and a ball of flame exploded on the Knight's soul in front of him. Then, with a tragic scream, the Knight's soul was destroyed.

"It seems that you are in trouble!"

A voice sounded, and the ghost, Nina, appeared beside Heath. Her red dress looked gloomy in the empty ruins.

She said, "I know about the Partridge family. They are a relatively influential family in the West Coast. If you provoke them, you, a young Wizard, will not have a good time."

Heath turned around and said with an unhappy expression, "What do you want to say?"

Nina smiled, "I can help you."

"As long as you help send me back to Ares College, I promise to help you get a place in Ares College so that you can stay there."

She said confidently, "In front of Ares, Partridge is not worth mentioning."

Heath raised his eyebrows. He did not expect this ghost to be so arrogant. After all, the Partridge family was one of the top Wizard families on the West Coast. Even in the entire Wizard Alliance, they had a place.

But looking at her confident appearance, she should have some confidence, right?

He asked, "The reminder you gave me before, was it for this purpose?"

Nina did not deny it. "I had an accident while exploring this ruin. Although I tried my best, I could only preserve my soul."

"It took me many years to recover to the state where I could talk to Wizards a few days ago. But that's all. With my current energy, I can't leave this place without help."

She pleaded, "Can you help me? For the sake of being a Wizard as well."

Heath looked at Nina and more or less believed what she said earlier. After all, souls were very fragile. After their bodies were destroyed, not only did their souls not return to the domain of reincarnation, they could even recover... just This alone was enough to prove Nina's ability.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Then how should I help you? Use the soul bottle? I'm afraid that won't work, right?"

The capacity of the soul bottle was limited. It could hold an ordinary soul, but this was a Wizard-level soul. An ordinary soul bottle could not hold it.

Nina had obviously made a decision before.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Since you know something about magic arrays, then I think you should know how to refine Wizard tools, right?"

Heath was stunned.

He said in surprise, "You mean you want me to make you into a soul Wizard tool?"

A Soul Wizard tool, as the name implied, was a Wizard tool that was combined with the soul to make a Wizard tool, so that the Wizard tool could have a soul.

He asked, "Are you sure?"

Once a soul was combined with a witch tool, it was irreversible. In the future, even if a Wizard returned to the real body, it would be impossible to continue practicing as a Wizard in the past, and could only exist as a tool spirit.

Nina nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes."

She was very clear about her own situation. Although she was lucky enough to save her soul, she had already reached her limit after persisting for so long.

After a pause, she added, "But I have a condition."

Heath asked, "Speak."

Nina said, "I can become your tool spirit, but you can't control my freedom and force me to do anything I don't want to do. You have to swear on your soul's origin."

The two sides reached an agreement.

Then, Heath started to refine the soul Wizard tool.

The difficulty of refining a soul Wizard tool was not high. The difficulty was that it required a soul that met the requirements. This soul had to voluntarily become a tool spirit.

Mortal souls that were qualified to become tool spirits were very rare, but at the level of Wizards, they were very common. Any Wizard's soul could do it.

After the soul condition was fulfilled, it was time for the soul Wizard tool.

There were no special requirements for Wizard tools. The best one was a Wizard tool that could be related to the soul. Heath had several Wizard tools that were related to the soul, he selected a few and finally chose the [Soul Ring].

This Wizard tool was related to the soul itself, so it was the most suitable tool to be used as a soul Wizard tool.

The next step was to refine it.

Now that the main materials were complete, it was not difficult to draw a magic array, add in the materials, and attach runes... One step after another, the soul Wizard tool was quickly completed in Heath's hands.

Under the sunlight.

Heath raised his hand to look at the ring in his hand. The ring did not change much from before, only adding a string of runes on it. The golden runes were especially dazzling under the sunlight.

'Speaking of which, this is my first Wizard tool.'

Pulling back his arm, his gaze fell on Nina, who was in front of him. She must have changed slightly from before, and her originally transparent body became more solid.

He asked, "How do you feel?"

Nina's expression was complicated, and her emotions were not too high. She said indignantly, "What else can I do? Let's just leave it at that."

After the soul was combined with the Wizard tool, it could only survive in this world as a tool spirit. It could no longer become a Wizard. Moreover, with the passage of time, this soul energy would also disappear. Once the soul energy was exhausted in the future, it would only lead to death.

Heath comforted her, "I heard that there is a training method specifically for raising spirits. As long as the method is appropriate, even spirits can grow, and they can even obtain the same amount of eternal power as Wizards."

Nina asked, "Are you referring to the Lich?"

The Lich was also a kind of training method on the path of Wizards. Its essence was to abandon the physical body and focus on cultivating the soul. It was somewhat similar to Nina's current situation.

It was not feasible for a tool spirit to turn into a Wizard, but it was possible if it was directed at a Wizard.

Nina sighed softly, "It's not that easy. I heard from my teacher that the path of a Lich is ten thousand times more difficult than a normal Wizard. If it wasn't because of necessity, no one would do this."

Heath didn't say anything.

After a while, Nina's mood was mostly adjusted.

She forced a smile at Heath. "Forget it. No matter what, I'm alive now. Let's talk about the future later."

After a pause, she asked, "What do you plan to do now?"

She pointed at the corpse on the other side.

Heath narrowed his eyes. "Of course we'll deal with it according to the procedure."

"How dare a mere mortal plot to kill a Wizard!"

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
