《Witcher: I Can Extract Everything》Chapter 17: The Journey
Advertisement
Heath was stunned and half sobered up. "What are you doing, Alisa?"
Although the two of them no longer had any secrets about each other's bodies, it was the first time they were so intimate because Heath deliberately restrained himself.
Alisa raised her head and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her thumb.
Under the flickering candlelight, Heath saw that her eyes were a little red. It was obvious that she had cried before.
Alisa said sadly, "My Lord, you are going to the Wizard World soon. I don't know when you will come back. Before that, let Alisa serve you."
Heath smiled faintly and said, "There is no need for that, Alisa. I will arrange for someone to take care of you before I leave. No one will hurt you if you stay at the farm."
He knew that Alisa was mainly worried about being bullied after he left.
In fact, he was right.
But he could not understand the fear and worry in a desperate situation.
After hearing Heath's comforting words, Alisa's mood did not improve. Instead, she insisted, "Sir, if Alisa is of no value at all, then you should kill Alisa. At least, Alisa is willing to die at your hands."
Heath said so, but how could Alisa believe that he would keep his promise and really protect her safety? And why would he do that?
Compared to verbal promises, Alisa would believe in more practical things. At least with this layer of relationship, she felt that she belonged to this man's personal belongings. No one would allow others to destroy their own things, right?
Heath was still not serious. He said jokingly, "Not to the extent of..."
But halfway through his words, his voice suddenly stopped.
This was because when he saw the young girl's eyes, there was only fear in them.
Alisa said, "Even if Sir has really arranged everything for Alisa, how can Alisa accept all of this with peace of mind?"
"Before you leave, let Alisa do something for you."
Heath was stunned and hesitated for a moment.
Alisa immediately noticed that Heath was relaxed. She did not hesitate anymore, lifted her skirt, twisted her waist, and sat down...

...
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Heath boarded the sailboat as he wished and embarked on the journey to the Wizard Continent.
The sailboat they were on was called The Voyager. It was a three-masted sailboat with a length of nearly 100 meters. There were more than 60 people along with the crew.
The Voyager, deck.
"...the dining hall is on the second floor. Food is available all day. The bedrooms are on the first floor. The empty rooms can be stayed in. The voyage is for three months. During this period, I have to meditate. Don't disturb me. If there's anything, look for the sailors."
Wizard Salado gave a brief explanation to Heath and the others and quickly left.
After the Wizard left, the youth who came with the Wizard said, "Does anyone want to go to the dining hall together? Hehe, legend has it that Wizards often hunt legendary creatures in the sea. Maybe there will be merman meat."
This was Ender, from the Kingdom of Tanli in the southern part of the Aike Continent. He was the same age as Heath.
When Ender was very young, he had already displayed his extraordinary abilities, such as being able to talk to animals, and the spoons in his house would stand up for no reason.
At first, everyone thought that it was an evil spirit that wanted to burn him to death. However, the local Lord was keenly aware of a certain possibility, so he bought him from his parents and brought him back to the castle to be adopted as a son.
After the arrival of the Wizard this time, the Lord sent Ender to be tested, and as expected, the Wizard talent was tested.
Karina, who was next to him, snorted lightly. Her eyes under the mask did not even look at Ender as she said arrogantly, "What status do you have? Do you think you are worthy to eat with me?"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Ender's face stiffened for a moment, and he cursed in a low voice, "What the hell, do you really think you are pure-blooded just because you have a Wizard wild father? You arrogant bastard!"

Karina's talent mainly came from her father, who was a Wizard.
Fifteen years ago, when that Wizard passed by the Aike Continent, he was warmly treated by the royal family of the Kingdom of Oz. He carefully selected several beautiful princesses to sleep with. One of them successfully got pregnant, which was Karina's mother.
The descendants of Wizards had a high chance of inheriting the Wizard's talent, and people who obtained their talent through bloodline were also called purebloods.
After cursing for a while, Ender said to Heath, "Let's go, Brother Heath. If she doesn't go, we'll go together."
The two of them went to the restaurant and ordered a lot of food.
Of course, there was no mermaid meat, but there were a lot of strange ingredients, such as a silver fish with a shriveled old face, a shell that was soft like a woman, a devil fruit that was like a ball of yarn, and so on.
According to the chef's introduction, these were all ingredients from the Wizard World, which were not available in the Aike Continent.
While tasting the delicious food, Heath also had a pleasant harvest.
[Beep, extraction successful. Agility +0.02]
[Beep, extraction successful. Strength +0.01]
[Beep, extraction successful. Spirit +0.01]
Heath thought to himself, 'As expected. If it's a new material, it's very easy to extract its attributes.'
The Extraction System basically could not repeatedly extract the same material with the same composition. For example, the Magic Stones given by the Baron would be ineffective after being extracted once, and the same was true for the demonized beasts in the forest.
Although the demonized beasts of the same species could be extracted many times due to differences in individual aspects, as the number of times extracted increased, the number of attributes that could be extracted became less and less.
For example, Heath had killed two Copper-Skinned Giant Bears that could give him a 0.3 attribute bonus earlier, but one of them only gave him 0.1 strength, and the other one only gave him 0.03 strength.
During this period of time, the growth of Heath's strength suddenly slowed down. In addition to his talent, another main reason was that the number of species that could be found in the forest decreased.
'Going to the Wizard World is really the right choice!' Heath said silently.
Ender put a piece of cut beef into his mouth and said while chewing, "Brother Heath, what do you think of the Wizard World?"
Heath shook his head, "I'm not too sure."
Ender was stunned, and then laughed. "Haha, I forgot that you were not prepared before this. Do you need me to introduce you? I have been preparing for this all these years."
"If that's the case, then the Noen family will be very grateful to you, Sir," said Heath.
In fact, he had been searching for information about the Wizard World for the past six months, but most of the information he had found were only legends. There was very little information that was really useful, so he still knew nothing about the Wizard World until now.
"You don't have to do that. We're all companions, aren't we?"
After a pause, he began to introduce the Wizard World. "So where should we start? Let's start with the world. The world we're in is called the Wizard World. The place we're going to is..."
Heath got more knowledge about this world from Ender. This was something he didn't have in the previous documents, and his understanding of this world was further deepened.
The name of this world was the Wizard World.
As Heath had guessed before, the Aike Continent was only a small island in this world, and it was a very small marginal island.
From Ender's description, this world was much bigger than Earth.
There were many continents in this world, and now they were going to one of them called the Old Land.
This world was ruled by Wizards, and Wizards were the true rulers of this world.
Knights ruled the family.
Grand Knights ruled the country.
And Wizards ruled the whole world.
...
The voyage was smooth. Three months later, Heath arrived at the Old Land successfully.
The Wizard's path that he yearned for had officially begun...

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!
