Chapter 28 (2/2)

It was a Walking Mushroom, a kind of low-level material.

Da!

Footsteps sounded.

A figure descended from the tree trunk. It had black hair and a cross sword at its waist. It held a crossbow in its hand and wore a cloak. It was Heath.

Heath walked forward and picked up the Walking Mushroom on the ground. ‘Extract.’

[Beep, extraction successful. Spirit +0.05]

Seeing the system notification, Heath grinned. “The attributes of the new resources are high.”

Apprentices were not allowed to leave the area of the tower without the permission of the tower. The area around the exit was usually a restricted area. Naturally, Heath had never come here before.

He had never explored the area before, and the resources here were all new species. Every time, he could obtain higher attributes.

Along the way, Heath had obtained a large amount of attributes.

“I wonder what the market price of this thing is like outside? It should be able to fetch a good price, right?”

As he guessed, Heath took out his spatial bag and threw the Walking Mushroom into it.

Every time he refreshed his attributes, he would put away these low-level materials, so that he could find a gathering place for Wizards to sell them as Magic Stones.

After putting away the Magic Stones, Heath continued to move forward. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and looked forward.

In front of him was a very short path.

The trees around the path became sparse, and at the end of the path, bright sunlight could be seen.

Heath was startled. “Am I at the exit?”

His attributes were refreshed so much that he did not want to leave this place at the moment.

Should he not be in a hurry to go out and muddle along for another two days?

“Forget it. If I continue to dawdle and cause the dissatisfaction of the Wizard, then the gains won’t be worth it.”

This was a surveillance area, and it was filled with the spies of the Wizard. He had dawdled for half a month before he arrived here. If he was still unwilling to go out and instead went around looking for materials, then it would not make sense.

“I’ve been harvesting for half a month, and there aren’t many new species left. I’ll collect the rest when I come back.”

With this thought, Heath let go of his reluctance and walked forward.

After crossing the sheep farm path, Heath finally left the Underdark Treesea. The long-lost sunlight once again appeared in his field of vision.

After living in the dark for more than eight months, Heath’s eyes couldn’t adapt to the brightness in front of him. He unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

After a while, Heath’s vision returned.

He was ready to continue forward, but at that moment, a voice came from the front.

A voice said, “Hal, what are you looking at?”

Another voice said, “The treetops over there seemed to have swayed just now.”

Heath quickly hid.

Hiding behind a tree trunk, he looked over and saw two young men dressed as soldiers. One had brown hair, and the other had yellow hair. They were standing at the entrance of the forest and looking into the forest.

The brown-haired man was surprised. “Really? Are your eyes playing tricks on you?”

The yellow-haired man said, “It’s true. I just saw it. Do you think it’s a Wizard? Is there really a Wizard in this forest?”

The brown-haired man said, “You must be crazy!”

The yellow-haired man said, “Then why do you think the Count sent us here?”

The brown-haired man did not comment. “That’s why I said that there’s something wrong with his brain. He actually placed his hopes on those myths and legends. We’ve been here for three months, and we haven’t even seen a bird. Where did a Wizard come from? I think it’s all a bluff!”

Just as he said this, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded in the forest.

Da da da.

The two soldiers tensed up and quickly picked up their weapons. This forest was filled with many ferocious beasts.

Not long after, Heath appeared in their field of vision.

“Human?”

Seeing that it was a human who walked out, the two of them were stunned.

The brown-haired soldier asked, “Hey, who are you? Why are you here?”

Heath did not answer. Instead, he suddenly asked, “Are you people from Reiden Castle?”

When he accepted the mission, the official Apprentice who arranged the mission for him had mentioned to him that Reiden City might arrange people to wait for him at the entrance of the forest to take him to Reiden City.

The two of them were a little suspicious. “You are?”

They looked up and down at Heath who was wearing a cloak. An answer had appeared in their hearts, but they still did not dare to believe it. After all, there was a difference between Heath’s image and those people in the legends.

But soon, the doubts of the two disappeared without a trace.

Heath did not answer, but raised a hand.

Bang!

A ball of flame bloomed in his hand.

The two soldiers widened their eyes.

After two seconds of being stunned…

Bang!

Both of them groveled at the feet of Heath. “Wizard!”
