Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 216: Mission

Viscount Carson was in his forties and came from the United Kingdom of Loren. It was a human kingdom under the direct jurisdiction of the Tower of Order, and most of the people in power were closely related to the Wizard family. It was said that this Viscount Carson was also from a Wizard family.

When Heath came to Viscount Carson’s meeting tent, he was busy reading official documents in front of a low table.

Heath bowed. “Viscount Carson.”

The military spoke according to rank. Viscount Carson was a Silver General, the highest rank in this team.

Viscount Carson immediately put down the official work in his hands and stood up to welcome him. “Wizard Heath, you’ve has finally arrived.”

Heath said, “I heard from Peter that Your Excellency has something to ask me. Is that so?”

Viscount Carson nodded. “That’s right.”

“It’s like this…”

Viscount Carson then briefly explained the whole story. He basically hoped that he would explore a road to facilitate the transportation of supplies between the fortress and the camp.

Because of the Dark Wizards, the drawbridges that had crossed the River of the Dead were all broken. Although the fortress had already arranged for people to repair them, these drawbridges were not ordinary drawbridges. The construction was troublesome and required the Wizards to enchant them. They could not be relied on for a while.

The drawbridges were the only way between the fortress and the camp. Now that they were broken, it had a great impact on the transportation of supplies. Therefore, Viscount Carson planned to open up a new passage.

“…About 200 miles northwest of here is the Ruins of Essos. It is said that you can go straight to the Bloody Fortress through there. I hope you can go and see if this route is feasible…”

Essos was an ancient civilization during the reign of the ancient Everett 10,000 years ago. It had already perished with the destruction of Everett.

“Then I’ll leave everything to you.”

“I’ll try my best.”

Heath himself was very interested in these ancient civilizations. He could also use this opportunity to find a place with abundant materials and species in advance. Of course, he readily agreed.

After leaving Viscount Carson’s place, there was a small incident.

“Your Highness.”

“Your Highness, are you back?”

On the way, Heath met Irina, the Elven Princess, who had returned to the base.

After coming to the base to greet the soldiers of the Valley of the Dead base, the Elven Princess then went to the surrounding area for a generation to greet the other garrison locations. She just happened to return to the base at this time.

For some reason, Heath felt that the Princess seemed to be interested in him.

When they met on the way, Heath bowed politely.

The Princess then said, “Wizard Heath, it’s nice to meet you here. Do you have time later? I hope to invite you to have afternoon tea to show your help last time.”

Generous and polite, it was as if she was not the same person as the girl in the carriage. Only the cunning in her eyes reminded Heath. The Princess in front of him was definitely not what she appeared to be.

Heath said, “I’m very sorry, Your Highness. Viscount Carson has arranged an important mission for me. This concerns the life and death of the camp. I’m afraid I don’t have time to share with you.”

Irina frowned slightly and said unhappily, “Is that so?”

After a pause, she rolled her eyes and suddenly asked, “I heard that Wizard Heath seems to be very keen on learning magic and is proficient in various types and elemental spells. Is that so?”

Heath was stunned. “What?”

The corner of Irina’s mouth curled slightly. “Then I wonder if you have heard of the Primordial Spell?”

Heath raised his eyebrows.

The Primordial Spell was no stranger to any Wizard. It was a spell from ancient times. It was said that the original Wizards created it with the help of the Elves, it was also one of the main forces that defeated Everett.

Irina’s smile became even brighter. “I have some information about the Primordial Spell. I think Wizard Heath would be interested in it since he is so passionate about magic, right?”

Heath was silent for a moment. “…”

This indeed aroused his curiosity. Primitive magic was not that powerful, but it involved the origin of many magic knowledge. This was rare and valuable information for a Wizard who was keen on research.

He thought for a moment and said, “I do have a mission to take care of now. I’ll visit you when I come back.”

Irina frowned. “Mission?”

Heath explained, “The drawbridge between the camp and the fortress is broken. Viscount Carson hopes that I can go to the Ruins of Essos to see if I can find a way.”

Irina was stunned. “The Ruins of Essos? Could it be the Twilight Ruins in the northwest?”

Heath said, “About 200 miles away from here, this should be the only nearby Ruins of Essos.”

Irina’s expression became a little strange.

Heath asked, “Why?”

Irina said, “I heard that place is not very safe.”

Heath asked in puzzlement, “Not very safe?”

Viscount Carson did not mention it when he assigned him a mission.

Irina nodded. “I heard that there are often Wraiths born there. If you want to go, you have to be careful.”

Heath nodded. “Okay, I’ll keep an eye out.”

“Then we’ll see you later.”

“See you later.”

After parting ways with Irina, Heath immediately began to prepare to head to the Ruins of Essos.

It could be seen that Viscount Carson still attached more importance to this mission. For this reason, he had specially arranged for a small team of warriors to accompany Heath. Each person in the team had the strength of a Knight, the two most powerful ones were two advanced Knights.

After a brief arrangement, the team set off early the next morning and began the exploration journey…

…

Two days later, in the Ruins of Essos.

After two days of trekking, the exploration team arrived at the Ruins of Essos safely.

Standing at the entrance of the ruins, Heath looked ahead.

Standing in front of him was a city, a city of ruins.

The wide and straight road, the tall obelisks, the stacked halls, and the hundreds of meters tall statues…

Even though they were in tatters, and most of them were only left with broken walls and broken bricks, it was not difficult to see the former magnificence of the city from these outlines.

Twilight Ruins, Twilight City.

When he was in Shadow Tower, Heath had read various introductions about this ruin in books and was very interested in it.

This was a huge city built by the Essos Dynasty. It was said that it took more than twenty years to build this city. Countless slaves were requisitioned during this period, and more than a million of them died alone.

It was said that this city was originally intended to be used to worship the God of Esoteric, which was the Balrog Everett. However, before the city was fixed, the Wizards joined forces with the Elves and the oppressed slaves to start the war.

After that, Everett was defeated and sealed, and this city disappeared in the long river of history because of the end of the war.

“No wonder there isn’t any news in the historical records. It turns out that it was sealed in the Bloody Battlefield!”

Touching his chin, Heath was the first to walk forward in high spirits.

“Let’s go.”
