《Witcher: I Can Extract Everything》Chapter 15: Make a Wish

"Next, Number 26!"
The man happily went down. The next person who walked up was a short, ugly, and wretched-looking fatty.
The fatty took out a Magic Stone and said without any shame, "Hehe, I want a woman. She must be obedient, beautiful, and never betray me. Is that okay?"
Everyone looked at him with disdain.
"Disgusting!"
The Wizard nodded with a smile. "Of course."
Then he turned around.
Behind him, there was a young man and a young woman standing on both sides. He said something to the young man, and the young woman walked into the corridor.
After a while, the young man returned, and there was a row of young women next to him. Each of them was young and beautiful.
The Wizard said, "You choose one."
The little fatty rubbed his hands with a wretched look on his face, and quickly chose the one with big breasts.
The Wizard pointed at the girl and said, "From now on, he is your master."
The girl nodded. "Yes."
Then she walked over and intimately held the fatty's arm.
The fatty's expression rippled, and he immediately reached out and touched the girl's body.
The crowd once again cast a look of disdain.
Heath, on the other hand, frowned.
For some reason, this girl gave him a strange feeling. Her expression was numb, and her eyes did not have the luster that a normal person should have. She did not even have the slightest reaction when fatty touched her in public.
She was more like a toy than a person.
The fatty went down.
A young girl came up next.
The girl took out three Magic Stones from a small cloth bag shaped like a heart and handed them over. Then she said shyly, "Wizard, I want... to be with the person I like forever, and... He will only love me forever."
It seemed that she had the same wish as the fat man, but this time the Wizard shook his head and said, "Love is not cheap. Three Magic Stones can only buy you a month at most, and after that, the other party may hate you. Do you still want to buy it?"
The girl was very disappointed. "Only a month..."
But after hesitating for a while, she still nodded. "I will definitely be able to touch him during this month."
The Wizard did not comment. "As you wish."
Then he took out a small bottle. "Find something that smells like a man. Hair, nails, and blood are all fine. Mix it with this bottle of magic potion and drink it. From now on, wherever you appear, he will not be able to look away."
The girl happily took the potion and went down.
The crowd had a pained look on their faces. "Stupid woman, what a waste!"
The guests continuously walked forward and took out Magic Stones to make their wishes.

There were people who wished for wealth, people who wished for the right to make wishes, people who wished for the power to make wishes. There were even people who hired murderers to kill and people who wished for time... As long as they could afford the price, they would be satisfied without exception.
Among them, the most expensive wish was time. It was almost one Magic Stone a day, and it had to be split among the people.
Of course, the effect was outstanding. Everyone saw an old man who couldn't even stand properly turn black after drinking a bottle of magic potion. His white hair turned black, and his wrinkles disappeared. In an instant, he turned into a young man with a heroic appearance.
"Youth... Return to youth!"
"It's really... immortality. Wizards can really live forever!"
This magical scene shocked everyone present. Everyone was envious.
Heath widened his eyes and felt a sweetness in his throat.
It was really... It was really immortality...
The wishes continued.
Soon, it was Kayla, who was in front of Heath.
Kayla walked forward and took out a total of three Magic Stones. It was obvious that he hadn't told Heath the truth.
However, he did not lie when it came to wishes. As he had said before, he first exchanged for items that could increase his 'vitality'.
The onlookers were all disdainful.
The old Wizard smiled and said, "In fact, at your age, you don't need these, but if you insist, it's not impossible."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of magic medicine. Inside it was some pellet-shaped pills. "You can only eat one a month at most. It can guarantee that you will be energetic for the whole month."
After a pause, he returned one Magic Stone. "This is only worth two Magic Stones. Do you have anything else you want to exchange for the remaining one?"
Kayla smiled wretchedly. "I heard that the Crimson Princess of the Kingdom of Oz is a peerless beauty..."
The old Wizard laughed loudly. "Hahaha, I'm afraid you'll need to talk to her face to face."
As he spoke, he turned his head and said to the girl standing behind him, "Karina, someone likes you."
Kayla was stunned.
The girl was wearing a mask, so her face couldn't be seen clearly. However, two fierce gazes shot out from under the mask at this moment.
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Idiot, don't you know that Her Highness the Crimson Princess has detected a Wizard's talent?"
"You even dare to have an idea about a Wizard. How dare you!"
Kayla's face was burning, and he quickly said awkwardly, "That... I'm joking, I'm joking..."
The old Wizard said, "Change your wish. This wish is too expensive. One Magic Stone can't buy it. If you haven't thought it through, you can go to the side and think about it."

"Okay... Okay..." Kayla quickly lowered her head and walked away.
"Next, Number 108." The attendant next to her quickly reported the number.
Finally, it was Heath's turn.
"This is the Miracle Sword from River Valley? I heard that he's only 14 years old but has already advanced to a Knight!"
"A Knight at the age of 14... It's unbelievable!"
"What would such a genius exchange for? What else does he need?"
"It must be in terms of strength. With the help of Wizards, it's not impossible for him to become a Grand Knight!"
"With the strength of a Grand Knight, there's nothing that can't be obtained!"
The moment Heath appeared, the crowd started discussing.
A 14-year-old official Knight could be counted on one's fingers in the entire Aike Continent. Once the news of Heath's advancement was announced, it quickly spread to all the countries. At this moment, he was already a famous genius.
Everyone's gaze focused on him. They were curious about what such a genius would ask for from a Wizard?
Power? Wealth? Women? Power?
Under everyone's gaze, Heath walked up to the Wizard and bowed respectfully.
The old Wizard took a puff of his cigarette and smiled amiably. "There's no need to be formal. Just put the Magic Stones on the table."
Heath quickly took out two Magic Stones and handed them over.
The old Wizard said, "Alright, tell me your wish."
Heath nodded and gave his answer loudly.
He said, "I want to become a Wizard!"
Yes, as a visitor from another world, how could he resist the temptation of extraordinary power.
When he knew that there were real magic and real Wizards in this world, Heath had already decided what he wanted.
There was nothing else but the path to becoming a Wizard!
The crowd frowned.
"Too greedy!"
"As a mortal, is it really good to have such wishful thinking?"
"There isn't even the slightest anomaly. How can there be talent..."
The old Wizard took a puff of his cigarette and advised, "Change to something else. Don't waste Magic Stones for nothing."
Everyone knew how powerful a Wizard was, but until now, no one had raised the same wish as Heath. Was this because they were stupid?
They were not stupid. They just knew that this wish was not realistic.
To become a Wizard, one must have the talent to become a Wizard. That is, the soul could resonate with the elements. This was an innate ability. If one was born with it, then he was born with it. If one was not, then he was not.
This elemental constitution was extremely rare. It might not even be one in a hundred thousand people.
In the past, there were countless mortals who had the same wish as Heath, but without exception, they all fell on the talent barrier and wasted precious Magic Stones.
Because of this, other than a few people who were born with obvious characteristics, no one would waste Magic Stones on such an impossible thing.
Baron Carter frowned and advised, "Heath, not everything in the world can be done with hard work, and it's the same for Wizards. Don't waste your energy and effort on this."
"Yeah, choose something else, Heath."
"Don't waste Magic Stones for nothing."
The people around also began to persuade him.
However, Heath was like a gambler whose eyes were red. He still insisted, "I still want to try."
Everyone frowned. They all had the same thought: Reckless.
The old Wizard still smiled amiably and said, "If you still insist, then of course you can. But the test for talent costs three Magic Stones. You're still missing one."
Heath frowned. This was something he had not expected.
'If it really doesn't work, then I can only exchange for a ticket to the Wizard Continent. I'll think of a way when I get there!'
Previously, someone had made a wish to follow the Wizard's ship to the continent across the sea. The price of the ticket was exactly two Magic Stones.
Just as Heath was thinking about this, a voice suddenly sounded.
"I'll help him pay for the remaining Magic Stone."
Kayla walked out and took out the remaining Magic Stone. He asked, "Sir Wizard, I'll help him pay for the remaining Magic Stone. Is that okay?"
The old Wizard smiled and said, "Of course."
Heath was slightly stunned. He did not expect Kayla to lend a helping hand and generously give away the precious Magic Stone.
Kayla shrugged. "Don't look at me like that. Anyway, I've already exchanged for what I want. I can't think of any other uses for this piece now. I'll just use it to bet with you. If I win, I'll be rich! Haha! A Wizard friend. I am a little excited just thinking about it."
Heath grinned. "This is the best decision you've ever made in your life."
"Haha, is that so..."
Kayla walked down.
The old Wizard took out a crystal ball with a base from under the table.
There was a groove on the base. The Wizard first picked up a Magic Stone and placed it in the groove. Then he said calmly, "Put your hand on the crystal ball. Don't think about anything."
Heath did as he was told and placed one hand on the crystal ball.
The old Wizard chanted a short spell. The Magic Stone on the base melted quickly like a black candle thrown into a bonfire.
The crowd's eyes were all focused on it.
They looked at it mockingly.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Suddenly, a colorful mist rose from the crystal ball. At the same time, the surface of the crystal ball was covered with a layer of light.
The old Wizard was stunned.
He said in astonishment, "It really detected the elemental constitution!"
The crowd was stunned.
The next second, the whole place was in an uproar!
