Chapter 103: Pick Up
People?
Heath immediately perked up and recited a short syllable at the same time.
As soon as he finished, his figure disappeared into the forest, along with his spiritual power, elemental reactions, and even his own smell.
This was naturally the [Verras’s Invisibility Manual] that he had obtained from the Labyrinth Academy’s Apprentice.
Heath had actually heard of this spell when he was in Shadow Tower. It was a relatively high-end invisibility spell that had been modified using invisibility as the blueprint.
Its creator was called Verras, and he was a relatively famous Wizard in the Old Earth Continent for invisibility spells.
He had strengthened the spiritual power and elemental fluctuations of invisibility spells in all aspects, allowing this Apprentice-level invisibility spell to be no less effective than a Wizard’s invisibility spell.
After entering the invisibility state, unless one was an official Wizard or above, as long as an Apprentice did not use spells or magic to release spiritual power, they would not be noticed.
After entering the invisibility state, Heath immediately went forward.
Relying on his Knight-level strength, he arrived at the place where the sound of a dispute could be heard.
Standing on a tree trunk, Heath looked down.
There was an empty s.p.a.ce below. At this time, there were already more than 20 Apprentices standing on the empty s.p.a.ce. They were from the Scorching Valley, Mithril Fortress, and Dusk Mill.
Both sides were having an argument. Heath listened for a while. It was basically like this:
Before the attack on Shadow Tower, the Allied Forces had made a verbal agreement that the Forest of Souls would belong to Dusk Mill after the war.
But this time, only a portion of the Wizard organizations had partic.i.p.ated in the attack on Shadow Tower. There were many Wizard organizations in the Underdark Treesea that had not partic.i.p.ated in this operation.
However, not partic.i.p.ating did not mean that these Wizard organizations would sit back and watch the Allied Wizard organizations split the cake, right?
They did not have the guts to attack Shadow Tower, but they still had the prestige to bully the weaker Wizard organizations.
Therefore, after the war ended, Dusk Mill sent people to take over the Forest of Souls as promised.
As soon as their Apprentices entered the Forest of Souls, they stopped fighting in the nearby Scorching Valley and Mithril Fortress. They immediately sent people to fight for the sovereignty of the Forest of Souls.
They had been arguing here for a long time, and even had a fight not long ago. The dead female Apprentice that Heath met before entering the forest was a member of Dusk Mill.
“You bunch of sc.u.m who don’t follow the rules will pay for this!”
“If you have the ability, then come!”
After a round of arguing, the red-eyed Dusk Mill Apprentice roared and took the lead to throw a fireball at the other side.
The battle once again drew to a close.
Heath observed for a while and left a spiritual mark on the tree trunk next to him before retreating.
The strength of the three parties was only low or medium. The damage of the Apprentices at this stage was very limited, and it would take a while for the outcome to be determined. Leaving a spiritual mark for positioning would be enough for him to come back later to loot the corpses. There was no need for him to stay here.
After leaving here, Heath returned to the forest to continue his collection work.
After about half an hour, he estimated that it was about time, and then he turned back along the spiritual mark.
When he arrived at the empty s.p.a.ce, there were already three corpses on the messy empty s.p.a.ce.
Heath walked up and extracted them.
[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.03]
[Beep, extraction successful. Soul Energy +26]
[Beep, extraction successful…]
After extracting the attributes, Heath took the Magic Stone pockets and Wizard tools from the three people. Just like the female Apprentice before, the Magic Stone pockets and Wizard tools on the corpses had not been cleaned in time.
After that, Heath looked around the scene and could not help but raise his eyebrows. “Is this the end of the fight?”
There were more than twenty Apprentices just now, but now there were only two or three corpses here. Where did the rest of the people go?
After observing the center of the open s.p.a.ce, he followed the traces on the ground and headed forward.
After walking for about a kilometer, he found the previous batch of Apprentices again.
The war was still going on, but the location of this battle had been s.h.i.+fted to this place.
“Dusk Mill, I’m giving you a chance now. Leave this place obediently. We’ll stop here. It’s not good for anyone to continue fighting!”
“Humph, what a joke. Who do you think you are? Third-rate trash who can’t even bring out an official Wizard wants to go against our Dusk Mill!?”
“Then let’s go! Let’s see who can last till the end!”
Seeing that both sides were still in a heated battle, Heath did not want to disturb them. After leaving a mark, he returned to the forest to collect materials.
After another few minutes, he returned.
Similar to the situation in the open s.p.a.ce, there were three to five more corpses on the open s.p.a.ce. Heath followed suit and went up to extract the attributes and loot the Magic Stone pockets.
Similarly, the war was not over yet.
After that, Heath continued to follow the traces of the war into the forest. Soon, he found the Apprentices who were still fighting.
“Mithril Fortress! Scorching Valley! None of you can leave this place alive today! I will skin you alive and copy the incantation!”
“The only one who will die here today will be your Dusk Mill! I will use your bones to make a magic wand! If it’s a woman, I will use her womb to breed dog embryos!”
Both parties were bloodthirsty. Their furious roars echoed throughout the entire forest.
Heath left his mark and turned to leave.
After that, Heath repeated the process. He left his mark and went to the forest to collect materials. He estimated that it was about time, and then he returned to pick up the bodies.
He left his mark and went back to the forest to search for materials. When it was about time, he returned to pick up the bodies.
There was no such thing as being kind or unkind. They wanted to fight themselves, and it was not Heath who instigated it. What did it have to do with him? He was just a mere spectator. It would not be too much for him to take some benefits, right?
Did he have to take the initiative to step out and stop the dispute? Take sides? Tell them the truth, the good, and the beautiful, and promote world peace?
Even if he could tell them, others would have to listen to him, right?
He didn’t have the ability, nor did he have the obligation, right?
Moreover… Strictly speaking, according to his standpoint, he was the enemy of the Apprentices here. He was just a bystander instead of clapping his hands. Heath felt that he was already considered to have a conscience…
Just like that, they kept fighting, and Heath kept picking and picking.
Heath did not know why these Apprentices were so bitter that they would not rest until they were dead.
It was probably due to the inertia of the war.
Perhaps the original intention was to fight for the owners.h.i.+p of the Forest of Souls, but when they started fighting, their minds were completely filled with hot blood.
At this time, their minds were completely filled with blood. Anyone who had experienced it would know that it was impossible to listen to any advice. Their minds had completely put down their thinking and reason.
The rules, shackles, and logic that they usually had had disappeared.
Now, they had probably forgotten the original intention of the war. Their bloodshot eyes were completely filled with anger and killing.
At such a time, there was only one thought in their minds.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
