Wizard: I Can Extract Everything - Chapter 357: 119: Departure
Chapter 357 119: Departure
After returning, Heath made some preparations, preparing potions, making magic scrolls, etc., preparing various tools that may be used when exploring the ruins.
A few days later, Jackman arrived as scheduled, and Heath briefly explained to Amy, and then went out with him.
When we came to the pier, there was already a big sailing ship docked here. This is a five-masted sailing ship. The hull is very huge, nearly 100 meters long, and the bow part is a sculpture of a mermaid, well-made.
It is docked in the middle of a bunch of merchant ships, and it looks like an ordinary merchant ship. Even the hull is covered with a noble family badge, and the mast is also stuck with a noble flag, which looks like it is An ordinary noble merchant ship.
However, Heath can easily feel the strong elemental fluctuations from above, and can easily see the runes spreading on the hull with the eyes of spirit, as if this is a wizard ship disguised as an ordinary merchant ship.
At this moment, some men dressed in turbans and cloth clothes, dressed as sailors, are carrying boxes of cargo to the deck, looking like they are preparing for a sailing.
After Jackman brought Heath over, the sailors saluted.
“Master Jackman.”
“grown ups.”
Heath noticed that these sailors were very ligated muscles, burly, and even thick calluses could be clearly seen in the palms of their hands. They were all traces of the sword, and they could be easily read from their breath. The identities of these people, as if they were all knights.
Heath asked, “Are these knights going with us?”
Jackman nodded: “There are knights in the wilderness to help us set up camp and make it easier, right?”
Heath asked: “Where did they come from? Are they reliable?”
Some wizards will prepare some knights before exploring the ruins, by recruiting wandering knights from the market, or forcibly crafting them with dark magic. Most of these knights have no chivalry and are not very reliable. Not to mention the help, there may be hind legs, and even the wizard who died in the hands of the knight due to the rebellious betrayal at a critical moment has occurred. Anyway, Heath has always been expeditions that do not like to carry these burdens.
Jackman explained: “Don’t worry, I know what you are thinking about. I don’t like taking strange knights on the road, but these knights can rest assured that they are all a family built by Arza from his blood in the human world. It was not a wandering knight that came out of it.”
Arza is the wizard who will go on an expedition with them this time, as well as the discoverer of the ruins.
Heath said: “That’s it, that’s okay.”
After walking a dozen steps forward, Heath finally met the Arza wizard Jackman said here.
This is an old man. He looks very old in his sixties or seventies, with silver hair on his head, wrinkles on his face that look like old tree bark, his back is also hunched, and his figure is very cramped.
He is wearing a red-brown row-breasted gown, holding a pair of golden walking sticks in his hand, and looks polite, like a human nobleman.
Jackman stepped forward and said hello: “Arza, my old friend, I brought people here!”
The old man turned his head, he first looked around Heath, the envy on his face was obvious when he saw Heath’s young face, and his expression was even more obvious after mentally investigating Heath. There was a surprise.
He quickly saluted and humbled: “My lord.”
From the perspective of mental power, the young wizard in front of him has the strength of a medium wizard, but in the wizard world, the strength is respected. Of course, characters at this level must salute.
Heath stopped, and said in an easygoing manner: “I am Jackman’s friend. It’s better not to be so formal.”
Jackman also added: “Haha, old man, I told you before? Heath is not a person who likes to carry a shelf, he is very easy-going.”
Seeing Jackman getting acquainted with the old man, Heath couldn’t help but glance at Jackman curiously.
With the help of magic, it is not too difficult for wizards to maintain a youthful appearance, and most wizards do this.
Generally, there are only two kinds of wizards who do not hide their age and let the years put on their faces. One is not very surprised, and the other is because the vitality has been consumed too much, and the magic cannot continue to maintain youth.
The old man in front of him was obviously the latter. Heath felt it at the first sight of him that his vitality was already very weak.
But you have to know that the wizard has a life span of 500 years. Since the old man can consume his life to this level, shouldn’t he have lived for hundreds of years? Jackman is just a new generation of young wizards, and the two can establish a friendship. Come, this makes Heath more curious.
probably saw Heath’s doubts, Jackman took the initiative and said: “What? Heath brother? Do you feel that our relationship is too good?”
Heath nodded: “It’s not like an ordinary year-end friendship, but like a close friend of the brothers’ gang.”
Jackman laughed: “Hahaha, then your judgment is really accurate. In fact, it is true. Arza and I are brothers who grew up together, the kind who wore the same pants when we were young.”
Heath was taken aback for a moment, and he was obviously more confused.
But he thought about it, and soon seemed to think of something again: “Could it be.”
The old man Arza nodded and said: “Yes, Master Heath, you guessed right. I have become what I am now. It’s just that my vitality has been consumed too much. I failed twice when I was promoted to the wizard, and then because of Several failed magic experiments, and then led to my current aging.”
The wizarding road, not everyone can be as smooth as Heath, on the contrary, in fact most wizards, especially those Muggle wizards who have no foundation, are always full of ups and downs on the wizarding road.
This road is full of difficulties and dangers. Whether it is promotion or magic test, it is easy to fail and cause magic backlash, and these backlashes will cause the wizard’s spiritual power to suffer from Aurora, and more importantly, it will be like Arza’s vitality. The loss, even magic cannot be repaired.
The only way left in front of him now is to continue to advance up. Only after he is promoted to the middle wizard can his vitality recover.
Heath regretfully said: “Oh, it’s unfortunate.”
Arza sighed slightly: “Yes, some wizards are born with bad luck, just like me.”
