Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Garcia shook her head. “Sorry, according to the agreement, we can’t reveal it.”

“The only thing I can tell you is that the Deep Sea Feast is to select the right Wizard. The Wizard will know your every move here. As for whether you’re suitable or not, the Wizard will give you an answer before you leave.” After a pause, she continued, “There’s no need to worry so much. You just need to try your best to fight for the Heart of the Sea.”

At this point, Garcia ended the topic.

Then, she asked, “Then, give me your hand, young Wizard.”

Heath stretched out his hand in confusion.

Garcia raised her hand and gently tapped on Heath’s palm. A whooshing sound was heard. A gust of wind and snow suddenly swept over from the surroundings and gathered in Heath’s palm.

After the wind and snow passed, there was already a strange fruit in Heath’s palm.

Garcia smiled and said, “This is what you need, the Heart of the Sea.”

Heath was stunned. “The Heart of the Sea?”

He said in astonishment, “This is the Heart of the Sea? You’re giving it to me directly?” Garcia explained, “The fact that you can come here means that you’ve passed the test and selection of the Ice Island. According to the rules, this Heart of the Sea should belong to

you.”

Heath looked at Garcia suspiciously for a while. Judging from her serious expression, it didn’t seem like she was faking it. So, was this true?

What was the purpose of this Deep Sea Feast?

Heath lowered his head and looked at the fruit in his hand. The fruit looked like an apple, but it was smaller than an apple. It was only the size of an egg, and its appearance was the same as the things here. It was ice blue, like an exquisite crystal ornament carved out of ice.

He tried to recite in his heart: ‘Extract.’

(Beep, extraction failed.]

Heath raised his eyebrows.

According to his current understanding, there were only a few situations where the system failed to extract. For example, the extracted substance was not an extraordinary substance, the extracted substance was not complete, the extracted substance had undergone processing such as potions, and the extracted substance was protected by runes and spiritual power.

In the first two cases, when the extraction failed, it would indicate that the substance was not complete, and the last case only happened on items such as Wizard tools, so the Heart of the Sea should be the third case now.

In other words, the Heart of the Sea was probably not some wonderful fruit growing in the sea, but most likely something created by artificial processing.

Garcia’s next words also confirmed Heath’s guess.

She explained, “The form of the Heart of the Sea is not fixed. It is made according to the environment and conditions of each island. Some are like apples, cherries, and other fruits. Some may be like gems, crystals, and some may even be in the form of some creatures.”

Heath said, “Oh!” She probably saw the uncertainty in Heath’s eyes. Garcia then added, “The Heart of the Sea is a strange object that the Wizards of the Golden Islands spent a lot of money to create. It is just a pure treasure. There is nothing suspicious about it.” Heath said, “Oh.”

It was easy to find out if he went back and tested it with magic.

Garcia continued, “If you leave your spiritual imprint on it, you will become the owner. After the spiritual imprint, it will become your personal property, and no one else can use it.”

“This is a rare treasure. It can bring a lot of help to your path as a Wizard. Treasure it well.”

Heath nodded. “Okay.”

Garcia said, “After you leave this place, you can try to find other Hearts of the Sea. If you have three Hearts of the Sea, the effect will be the best.”

“Then, let’s call it a day. If you want to stay in my Ice Castle, I will arrange for someone to prepare a room for you. If there is no need for this, you can leave by yourself later.”

Heath said, “Okay.”

Garcia then left with the armored soldiers.

Heath looked around and thought for a while. In the end, he rejected the idea of staying in this Ice Castle. Although this Snow Banshee looked quite warm, she was, after all, a powerful advanced-level Wizard-level demonized creature… If there was no need, he would stay away from such a monster.

With this in mind, Heath quickly left Ice Castle.

When Heath walked out of Ice Castle’s gate, what he did not know was that on the battlements on the side of Ice Castle, two figures were watching him leave.

One of them was the Snow Banshee who had just summoned him, and the other was a hunchbacked old Witch with an ugly face. Garcia stood on the castle, looking in the direction where Heath had left. She said, “The candidates this time are really unexpected. The strength of a late-stage beginner Wizard, and he even mastered a rule-type spell. What’s even more incredible is the age of his soul. My Celine, did you see it? He easily defeated my splitter.”

The old Witch nodded and opened her mouth, which was missing a front tooth, and praised, “He is indeed unexpected and outstanding.”

After a pause, she revealed a greedy look. “It would be great if I could keep such a rare item. I can definitely modify a more perfect body for him.”

Garcia said, “Yes, I believe that you have that ability. But if you do that, I can only force you to be expelled. After all, I don’t want my Ice Castle to start a war with the Golden Islands. I’ve been here for a long time.”

The old Witch twitched her mouth. “There’s no need for you to worry. The Wizards of the Church of Truth will do as they say. Since I have made an agreement with the alliance, I will naturally abide by this agreement. At least for the next two hundred years, I will not do anything that doesn’t follow the rules.”

After leaving Ice Castle, Heath returned the way he came. He left the ice valley and the ice forest and did not stop until he reached the beach outside.

Standing on the beach, Heath turned his head and looked at the ice world from afar. He suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.

He did not know why, but Ice Castle always gave him a strange feeling. He had a feeling that it was not safe. Was it because of the powerful Snow Banshee? It did not seem to be that entirely…

Heath felt that there was a pair of eyes in Ice Castle that he did not see staring at him. The owner of those eyes was probably stronger than the Snow Banshee… Moreover, it seemed that they were not to be trifled with…

‘Strange castle.’

Shaking his head, Heath shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, and then he began to think.

Garcia did not lie. The effect of the three Hearts of the Sea was the best. Orinoco had also mentioned this to him before. If it was possible, Heath still hoped to get the three Hearts of the Sea.

So where to go next?
