Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 222: Warning

Heath frowned. “What’s going on? What’s in there?”

Only then did he notice that the walls around him were full of potholes. It was obvious that they were caused by magic.

Nina said, “The Son of God.”

She raised her hand and drew a line in the air. The scenery in front of her changed rapidly. It was still the palace, but time seemed to have traveled back tens of thousands of years.

Thousands of humans were crawling on the ground in the square at the entrance of the hall. In front of them, Everett stood proudly on the observation platform on the stone steps. Beside him stood a strange creature that looked similar to him. Its appearance was more human-like.

It was the painting on the wall next to it.

Nina explained, “When Everett ruled this land, he left behind many children. According to my investigation, the one living here is one of the children he gave birth to with humans.”

“After the Battle of the Gods, a Wizard took a fancy to its bloodline and secretly captured it, trapping it in this dungeon to do research in private.”

“It wasn’t until the incident with the Wizard later that it was exposed here.”

“But at that time, Everett’s children had already been heavily contaminated by the Wraith. Once it was removed, the Wraith on its body would explode and trigger the Wraith tide. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the Wizards of the Western Continent decided to keep it.”

Heath was skeptical.

Judging from the strength displayed by the monster just now, it was definitely not inferior to an advanced-level Wizard. It was impossible for the fortress to know nothing about it with such high energy intensity. How could it be?

As if she had guessed the doubts in Heath’s heart, Nina suddenly said, “Bloody Fortress and the Tower of Order all know about it.”

Hearing this, Heath’s expression became even more confused.

Since the fortress knew about such an important matter, how could they not inform Viscount Carson who was stationed in this generation? And they even asked him to come here to look for the route to transport the supplies? Wasn’t this clearly asking people to…

Just as he thought of this, Heath was suddenly shocked.

This was because he suddenly thought of a possibility, a possibility that explained that there was a monster here and Viscount Carson seemed to know nothing about it…

At this moment, Nina once again came forward to assist.

She suddenly asked, “Were those who came with you just now your companions?”

Heath asked, “Why?”

Nina said, “I saw it just now. They were full of hostility toward you.”

Heath’s expression was a little ugly.

Yes, he had just assumed the same thing in his heart.

Heath said, “Thank you for your reminder.”

But at the end of the day, these were just the words of this unknown ghost. The truth of the matter still needed to be investigated before a conclusion could be reached.

Pausing for a moment, he continued to ask, “You suddenly appeared and told me this. I think there should be a reason, right?”

Nina nodded, but did not say it clearly. “Before that, you should first settle the relationship between you and your companions. After you confirm whether what I said is true, we will talk again.”

She pointed at the door and said, “You can try using your spiritual power. It is very easy to see if what I said is true.”

Heath hesitated for a moment and nodded. Then, he came to the front of the door again and released his spiritual forcefield into it.

Although there was a defensive forcefield on the door, it was mainly to prevent the door from opening from the inside. Compared to entering from the outside, it was much easier. It was much easier to use invisible spiritual force.

After trying for a while, Heath’s spiritual tentacle quickly reached into the door.

There was a soundless darkness inside the door. In the depths of the darkness, there seemed to be the outline of a giant object.

The moment the spiritual tentacle cut in, the giant creature seemed to have sensed something. Its huge body moved, and in the darkness, there was a beam of red light.

“Roar!” A deafening roar sounded, and Heath’s spiritual tentacle was instantly torn into pieces.

Then, there was a boom!

The huge door shook violently, as if something had crashed into it.

‘There really is…’

If it was just a suspicion before, then Heath had completely confirmed it. At least the ghost in front of him was not lying in this aspect.

Heath bowed to her solemnly. “Thank you for your reminder.”

From the power fluctuation he felt when the spiritual tentacle was torn apart just now, the monster inside was definitely not something he could deal with. If he had run in without knowing anything, he could imagine what would happen now.

Now that he thought about it, there were indeed a lot of things that were wrong. The two Knights in front of the gate had found an excuse to stay, and he had encountered so many Golem Puppets as soon as he entered the hall.

He was able to defeat these Golem Puppets because he had the strength of a Grand Knight and mastered law-type spells. If it were an ordinary Wizard, the Golem Puppets at the gate alone would have caused him to suffer a great loss.

After a pause, his eyes turned cold. “It seems that I have to talk to them.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked back.

However, before he walked far, Nina immediately stopped him. “You can’t go out like this.”

Heath looked at her in surprise.

Nina did not explain. She just looked at the wall and the floor beside her.

Heath was stunned. Could it be…

He quickly put one hand on the wall and the other on the floor. He spread out his spiritual tentacles and seeped down. After his spiritual power seeped into the floor and the wall, the floor immediately changed.

The floor seemed to come alive. The floor moved up and down like water, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.

His face sank.

Heath noticed that there were runes on the walls and the ceiling. It was a space-related structure.

Nina said, “This place uses a space-rotating rune structure. This palace has been in operation since you entered this place. After that, no matter which direction you go, you will randomly go to any place in the palace.”

“If you are slightly careless, you might even directly go to the room where the Son of God is, so I advise you not to wander around for the time being.”

Heath’s expression turned ugly. Just now, he had already used his spiritual tentacles to investigate the structure of these runes, and the situation was not much different from what the ghost had said.

Nina said, “I know how to leave this magic array.”

Heath glanced at her and did not continue the conversation. Instead, he continued to squat down and stretched out his spiritual tentacles to crack the magic array on the floor.

Seeing this, Nina was stunned. She could not help but say, “Sir, it’s better not to waste your effort. This magic array is a high-level space jump magic array. It uses high-level magic knowledge, not something ordinary Wizards… Hmm?”

Nina stopped abruptly and her eyes widened.

In front of her, as Heath’s spiritual forcefield cut in, strings of characters began to shine on the floor. Under the pull of some force, these characters began to rearrange and regroup.

At the same time, the floor that had just been in chaos suddenly stopped, and the undulating floor slowly opened up, quickly returning to its previous calm.

Nina opened her mouth. “You… you broke this magic array?”

Her expression was very incredulous.

She had been trapped in this generation for a long time, and she had a very high level of knowledge in the past. Even so, it had taken her a very long time to learn about the structure of this magic array and so on.

However, this young Wizard had actually broken this magic array in the blink of an eye. This was truly inconceivable.

Heath said, “Thank you for your reminder.”

“But before that, I have something to take care of.”

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed.
