Witcher: I Can Extract Everything Novel - Chapter 342

Chapter 342 Sunken Ship

A single coin from Aramsted did not represent much. After all, it was such a large civilization, and the currency that was issued back then could be described as countless. These currencies were also stone currencies that were not easily damaged. There were still quite a number of them left behind, and traces of them could be seen on the antique market for a long time.

And what attracted Heath at this moment was not just the coin from Aramsted, but a row of small words at the bottom left corner of the coin.

There were a few rows of strange symbols at the bottom left corner of the coin. They were crooked and looked like tadpoles. In the eyes of ordinary people, they would only be a few unknown symbols. However, for Wizards, they could read the contents at a glance because they were using the runic language that was common in the Wizard World. The content recorded on it was a magic formula.

Just like people sometimes took the things around them to make records, Wizards would also take the things around them to record things, especially when they were doing experiments or reading books to learn. They would often take the things they thought of, write them down on the table, print them on the bottle, and so on.

Looking at the symbol on the coin, Heath touched his chin and said, “This should be the formula of the Lanevis Faction, right? The structure is a bit like the formula under the Sixth Law of the Darkness Faction. It’s really rare…”

Hearing his whisper, Eric, who was beside him, asked in puzzlement, ‘What did you say, Teacher Heath?”

Heath shook his head. “It’s nothing.”

After a pause, he asked, “I just heard you say that you got this coin in a sunken ship?”

Eric nodded. “Yes, Teacher, it’s a sunken treasure found on the side of the Canna…”

He told the whole story. Not long ago, he found a job as a sailor at the dock and helped Count Barris, the Lord of Golden Harbor Town, transport a ship of spices to the north of the Gold Coast. While passing through the Canna, the fleet found a three-masted sailboat that sank near the Canna.

The navigation level in the secular world was very backward, and the wind and waves in this world were particularly fierce. Therefore, it was very common for merchant ships to sink here. There were always cases of ships sinking after going out to sea for various reasons.

These sunken sailboats were also known as sunken treasures. Many sailors found these sunken treasures when they went out to sea and obtained a lot of wealth from them. Therefore, when they encountered sunken ships, they would generally go to explore.

Eric and the others were no exception.

After discovering the sunken ship, the captain of Eric’s ship immediately organized sailors to search the sea. Eric was one of the sailors who went into the sea, and this coin was also picked up by him at that time.

After listening to Eric’s explanation, Heath nodded and said, “I see.”

After a pause, he continued to ask, “Were there other things that were fished out together?”

Since Eric was able to pick up the coin that recorded the magic formula here, it was possible that this ship was related to Wizards. It was even possible that it had carried Wizards before… Perhaps there were other Wizard items that could be found.

Eric said, “There were still a lot of things that were found, but most of them were taken away by Captain Bliss. I secretly hid this coin.”

Heath touched his chin. “Is that so…”

Eric looked at Heath’s expression and could not help but ask, “Why? Teacher, are these things very important to you?”

Heath nodded. “It’s okay. I’m very interested in these.”

He asked, “Do you know where the things that were fished out from the ship went?”

Eric thought for a moment and said, “Captain Bliss is a cousin of Count Barris. The Archer is also a private ship of the Barris family. I think these things went to Count Barris in the end.”

So that was the case. It seemed that he would have to make a trip to the Barris family when he had time.

Heath nodded. “Okay, I understand. Thank you, Eric.”

Eric said, “No need. It’s already Eric’s greatest honor to be able to bring help to Teacher.”

Heath teased, “It’s been a few years since we last met. When did that wild boy who came to smash my window learn to be polite?”

Eric’s face turned slightly red. Of course he would not forget the misdeeds he committed a few years ago.

Heath comforted him, “Everyone was mischievous when they were young. When they grow up, they learn to reflect and grow from it. That’s enough.”

Eric nodded heavily and gave a Knight’s salute by pounding his chest. “Yes, Teacher.”

Heath placed one hand on Eric’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go. Let me see how your swordsmanship practice has been these few years. Have you trained well?”

He led Eric to the courtyard and Heath examined the results of his training over the past few years in detail.

Although he had chosen to teach Eric as a Knight on a whim, it was also because he had a good aptitude. This examination did not disappoint Heath. Eric’s progress over the past three years could not be slow. He had basically reached the peak level of an Apprentice Knight. What he lacked now was a little foundation to advance to a Knight.

If he continued to train according to the current process, he would be able to advance to an official Knight in three to five years at most.

Heath nodded. “That’s right. When I was your age, I didn’t have such a standard. You’re much more outstanding than I was back then.”

The talent level of the original owner of Heath’s body was not that great. Among the Apprentice Knights who had trained at the same time in Graystone Castle, he was also an ordinary existence. The real rise of the name Heath came after Heath had transmigrated. To be exact, it was only after Heath had awakened the system that he began to show his talent.

Eric said, “How is that possible! Teacher, you must be joking.”

Although there was not much time spent between Heath and Eric, Eric could still feel that Heath’s swordsmanship and strength were very strong. Moreover, this feeling was even more profound as he grew older and more knowledgeable.

During this period of time, because he had passed Count Barris’ assessment, the number of Apprentice Knights and Knights that Eric had come into contact with had also increased quite a bit. Some of them had even sparred with each other. The feeling that they gave Eric was that none of them had the strength of Heath, whether it was swordsmanship or oppression.

At this moment, in Eric’s heart, Heath was already an existence like a god. How could he dare to compare himself with Heath?

Heath shook his head and lectured, “Don’t belittle yourself. Your talent is indeed outstanding. As long as you continue working hard, you will become a famous Knight one day.”

After a pause, he smiled and said half-jokingly, “When the time comes, remember to give me an autograph.”
