Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 260: City

Sizzle.

Heath slipped in like a slippery loach.

There was a stone room below, about ten square meters in size. No one knew what it used to be, but from the layout, it looked like an ordinary residence.

"There's a door over there!" Nina pointed to a corner of the room and shouted. There was a small door over there, but the door had disappeared, leaving only an empty door frame.

As she spoke, Nina couldn't wait to rush out and float out of the door.

"Oh! My god!"

Suddenly, Nina, who was outside the door, cried out in surprise. She stood rooted to the ground and stared straight out of the window, as if she was attracted by something.

What happened?

Heath raised his eyebrows. His body twisted and returned to his original body. This place was already deep underground and was isolated by a barrier. It was impossible for the Siren to detect it... Naturally, there was no need to maintain the inconvenient little fish form.

After moving his tibia a little, Heath used the buoyancy of the current to float to the outside of the door.

Then, the scenery outside the door entered his field of vision. He finally knew the place that attracted Nina's attention and even stunned him.

Outside the door was a city, a unique magical city.

The structure of the entire city was a tower-like structure, layer by layer. From a distance, it looked like a huge multi-layered cake.

A round castle with a unique style, a Gothic obelisk, a tall building with a mushroom umbrella-like structure... All kinds of strange and unique buildings were scattered all over the place.

Between the buildings, there was a wide and straight road connecting them. In the middle, there was a gravel road used by carriages and horses. On both sides of the road, there was a pavement paved with bluestone. On both sides of the road, there were even diamond-shaped streetlamps.

Heath opened his mouth and was also as stunned as Nina.

One could tell the fall from just looking at a leaf. Just from the size, structure, and layout of the city, one could tell how advanced the civilization here was.

Seeing this city gave Heath a feeling that it was not like he had gone to the ancient ruins, but instead, he had gone to the future, which was thousands of years later.

Nina said excitedly, "It is said that the development of the civilization of Aramsted is even more advanced than that of the present Wizard civilization. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. Oh my god, I think I need to re-understand the history of the past!"

Compared to Nina, Heath was much calmer. There had always been rumors that the civilization of Aramsted was more 'advanced'.

Unlike the dark rule of Everett, it was said that the Sirens treated the creatures in their territory rather well. It was even said that the origin of the Wizards here was related to the Sirens. It was they who taught this generation of Wizards how to use magic. After that, the Wizards used magic to build their civilization. Therefore, the civilization here was a little more advanced than the current Wizard civilization.

Of course, this 'advanced' was only on the surface. The times were always improving, in terms of single-round magic, the magic that the Wizards now mastered and the energy they could mobilize were far from what the Wizards in the ancient times could achieve.

However, the Wizards nowadays were more focused on improving their own strength and were not keen on helping humans and other creatures create a civilization. Therefore, the current civilization seemed to be backward.

"Let's go and see what good things are here."

After looking at this beautiful underwater city for a while, Heath set off in high spirits. Although he was also very interested in historical sites and other things, he preferred to be more practical than this. There should not be a lack of good things in such a large city.

Heath called out in his heart, 'System.'

[Beep.]

[Open range extraction...]

He immediately opened the system's range extraction function and maximized the range. If there was any reaction of extraordinary substances within a hundred meters, it would definitely not escape Heath's eyes.

After some arrangement, the effect was quickly achieved.

After walking less than ten meters, the sound of the system's notification rang in his ears. [Beep, extraordinary substances can be extracted. Do you want to extract it?]

Heath's eyes lit up. He immediately followed the palpitations that came from his spiritual sense and captured the target. It was a streetlamp that stood by the roadside.

He tapped on the ground and controlled his buoyancy to float in front of the streetlamp.

It was an old-fashioned streetlamp. It was similar to the kerosene streetlamp from 17th century England on Earth. A three-meter-tall black pole had a rhombus-shaped windproof lampshade. However, the inside of the lampshade was not a kerosene wick. Instead, it was a translucent stone.

The extraordinary material detected by the system was precisely this stone.

"Magic Crystal!"

Like Magic Stones, this was also a type of magic ore that contained magic energy. Because the energy structure in it was too stable and its output was slow, it was mostly used for spells that could continuously output magic energy.

"Such a large piece. There should be at least tens of thousands of Magic Stones."

Heath thought happily, then he reached out his hand towards the clasp of the windshield lampshade, preparing to open the lampshade outside.

However, just as his hand touched the clasp of the lampshade, a strange scene happened.

The streetlamp suddenly came to life, and the crystal inside suddenly lit up with a ding. The windshield lampshade twisted, and a mouth appeared on it, and it shouted, "You despicable thief, I'm going to bite off your thief hand!"

As it spoke, it opened its big mouth and bit at Heath's hand, and the entire pole shook violently.

"Alchemy life form?"

This sudden attack gave Heath a fright. He quickly pulled back his arm and quickly retreated.

However, even though he had retreated, the streetlamp still did not give up. It could not move in its original position, so it opened its mouth and shouted, "Thief! There's a thief! A thief wants to steal my crystal!"

As the streetlamp shouted, the originally lifeless city also came to life.

Ding! Ding! Ding! The sound of the streetlamp rang out continuously.

The streetlamps lit up one after another. Like a child who had just woken up, they shook their heads and started whispering.

"Ah? Thief? Where's the thief?"

"No. 3 encountered a thief?"

"Oh my god, isn't this too scary? Where are the guards? Someone call the guards!"

"Floor, floor, quickly call the guards to catch the thief!"

At the same time, the floor was the same. With a twist of the flagstones, human features immediately appeared on the surface of the flagstones.

These flagstones all focused on Heath, their expressions filled with fear.

"Ah! Thief!"

"Oh my god, there's a thief! It's too scary!"

"Call the guards!"
