Chapter 235 - Decision



Chapter 235: Decision

The time was already up?

Heath was stunned. It was mainly because he had been living comfortably during this period of time. He had not experienced the cruelty and oppression that war should have been. On the contrary, every day, he was full of ambition because he had gained something from the extraction of the materials. He could not feel the time at all.

Counting the time, it had indeed been more than a year since he came here. According to the service period of Wizards, it was usually only one or two years.

Seeing Heath’s hesitation, Robert could not help but ask, “Why? Didn’t you think about it before?”

Heath nodded. “It’s a bit sudden.”

Robert laughed. “Hahaha, after so many years in the Bloody Battlefield, which one of us didn’t count our days here? You’re the first one who didn’t even remember when your service period was up.”

Heath shrugged. “I guess I’m just a bit too big-hearted.”

Robert nodded. “You’re indeed different from ordinary warriors.”

After a pause, he continued, “In that case, there’s no need to rush to give me an answer. You can go back and think about it.”

“In addition, if you choose to leave, I can provide you with an opportunity.”

Heath was puzzled. “Opportunity?”

Robert nodded and suddenly asked, “Dawn Tower. Have you heard of this name?”

Heath was stunned. “Yes, why?”

Robert said, “I have a friend who is a Wizard in Dawn Tower. One of his Apprentices died not long ago. He is busy with things around him. He wants to find an outstanding Apprentice. I think you are quite suitable.”

Heath’s mouth twitched. “…”

It couldn’t be that coincidental, right? What was this? The trajectory of fate?

Robert saw the strange look on Heath’s face and couldn’t help but ask, “What is it?”

Heath shook his head. “No, go on.”

Robert continued, “Being by my friend’s side is also very good for you. You can easily get the answer from him for the confusion you face and the confusion you have about magic.”

“He is a Stigmata Wizard.”

Heath’s eyes lit up. “A Stigmata Wizard?”

Robert nodded. “That’s right. So, I think this is a rare opportunity. You can consider it carefully.”

Heath said seriously, “Okay, I will definitely consider it carefully.”

There was no need to say anything more about Stigmata Wizards. Stigmata Wizards themselves were a collection of knowledge. To be able to reach this level of knowledge, one’s own knowledge level could definitely be described as massive, there was no need to say how much benefit it would bring to be by the side of someone at this level.

Robert patted Heath’s shoulder. “In that case, you can go back first. When you have an answer, you can reply to me.”

“Yes.”

Then, Heath stood up and walked out.

But before he left the office, Robert suddenly stopped him. “Oh, right.”

Robert walked up and said, “Although my friend needs to recruit his own Apprentice, according to the rules of the Dawn Tower, his Apprentices can only be selected from within the Tower.”

“In other words, if you want to become my friend’s Apprentice, you must first join Dawn Tower.”

“Dawn Tower will recruit a batch of Apprentices every once in a while, using the traditional recommendation system. I happen to have a recommendation slot here, and I will help recommend you.”

“This batch of Apprentices will be recruited soon, at the latest, it will be more than ten years. If you want to go, you should make preparations as soon as possible.”

For Wizards, more than ten years was indeed a very short time.

Heath said, “Okay.”

He had learned about this from Irina, the Elf Princess, and it was not much different from what Robert said.

After leaving Robert’s office, Heath returned to his dormitory in the tower.

“Wizard Heath, welcome back.”

“Haha, Wizard Heath, You’re really back!”

“Long time no see, Wizard Heath.”

Everyone he met on the way, whether he knew or not, greeted Heath warmly.

Some of them were complimenting him because of Robert’s leadership, but many of them were also because of his recognition and respect.

The plan he had proposed at the roundtable meeting to change the defensive formation of the fortress had been carried out. In the subsequent tidal attacks, the casualty rate of the fortress’ warriors had significantly decreased. The entire fortress benefited from this.

Looking at the friendly and warm smiling faces, Heath felt that it was not bad to stay in the fortress.

With the substitute doll given by Witch Cassandra, he did not feel any pressure on this battlefield. It was also quite interesting to fight side by side with these warriors. He was popular, and held great power in his hands. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he could get whatever he wanted…

Then, should he continue to stay here?

After some consideration, Heath still rejected this idea.

An Apprentice of the Stigmata Wizard was a rare and precious opportunity. Heath was not willing to miss it. Moreover, he had already promised the Elf Princess before, so he had to fulfill his promise.

The other main factor was still extraction.

After this period of continuous extraction, he had basically swept through all the materials that could be extracted from the valley of the departed souls. The material types that grew in the entire Sealed Land were all similar, it would be difficult to discover anything new if he continued to stay here.

Extraction was the shortcut for him to quickly improve his strength. Since he had already swept through most of this place, there was naturally no need to stay here anymore.

Thus…

The next morning, Heath went to Robert and expressed his decision to retire.

“Okay, I’ve approved it for you. Get ready. You can leave after the Commendation Assembly. There’s an airship coming next week. You can take it.”

“Also, you have to pay more attention to the Dawn Tower. The assessment is not easy. I’ll send you the contents of the previous assessments in a while. You can refer to them. If you don’t understand anything, Ask a raven to send a message to me.”

After receiving Heath’s reply, Robert quickly approved his retirement and made proper arrangements for him.

“Also, these are what you deserve.”

Following that, Robert sent a few more items to Heath. They were a silver badge, a bag of high-grade Magic Stones, and a medal with a unique design.

The silver badge was his military rank badge. It was something he had accumulated from killing Dark Wizards, helping the fortress change the warriors’ battle formation, and defending the Valley of the Dead. In an instant, he was upgraded from two gemstones of Bronze to Silver rank.

However, this badge was not only useful in the fortress. It was used in the entire Tower of Order and the entire West Coast. It was a symbol of status.

With this silver badge, no matter where he went in the West Coast, he would be treated respectfully by a Wizard Master. He would even be treated as an equal.

The other Magic Stone pocket contained 30 high-level Magic Stones. This was something that all retired warriors of the Bloody Battlefield had, and could be considered a retired military invitation of the Bloody Battlefield.

The last badge was the same, and belonged to all retired warriors.

“Ah, Wizard Heath, are you leaving?”

“You just came back…”

“Teacher, if you have time, you must come to the Kara family…”

“Master Wizard, I owe you my life. Take this beard. No matter when, as long as you need it, you can get the help of any Dwarf!”

“Little friend Heath, when I have the chance, I will come back to visit you and discuss ice magic.”

Everyone expressed their reluctance after knowing that Heath was leaving.

Martha invited Heath to the Kara family as a guest. Wizard Baxter agreed to pay him a visit later, while Dwarf Sam simply cut off a strand of beard and gave it to Heath. This was a tradition of the Dwarves. It was the most precious gift to the most precious person.

In addition to them, there was another guest who had to be mentioned the night before he left.

The night before Heath left, Bloody Fortress, dormitory.

Knock, knock, knock! There was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Heath, who was packing his luggage, said without raising his head.

The door opened with a click, and Irina, who was wearing a crescent-colored robe, walked into the room.

Heath immediately stood up. “Long time no see, Your Highness.”

Irina had been transferred back to the fortress a month or two before Heath. After that, she had been arranged to go to the Elf clan to deal with matters, so she had not seen Heath all this time. She had only just returned today.

After knowing that Heath was leaving, the Elf Princess hurried over.

Irina asked, “I heard that you’re leaving?”

Heath nodded and smiled. “Yes, I’m taking the airship tomorrow morning.”

Irina frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Heath was stunned.

Irina said matter-of-factly, “According to the relationship between you humans, shouldn’t we be related to each other after having s*x? Shouldn’t you inform me if you’re leaving?”

Heath’s lips twitched. “…That sounds reasonable…”

Irina then waved her hand and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Do you still remember the agreement between us?”

Heath nodded. “Of course.”

Only then did Irina’s furrowed brows relax.

She nodded and said, “Alright, in that case, I have something here for you. Consider it as a gift for you leaving. Of course, you can also treat it as a token of our love.”

Heath’s mouth twitched again. This Elf Princess… How should he put it… Her thoughts were very erratic.

Irina walked forward, took out her dimensional pocket, and took out an item…
