Chapter 195: Reward
Along with the Knight, they arrived at the encircled area by the dance floor. There were a few sofas set up here, and it looked like a reception room.
At this moment, Wizard Robert was sitting on the sofa and chatting with the high-ranking generals of the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress.
When they saw Heath coming over, everyone’s eyes immediately turned to Heath, and they began to guess his ident.i.ty.
Without waiting for everyone to guess, Wizard Robert stood up and enthusiastically walked forward. “Wizard Heath, you’re finally here!”
Heath bowed and said, “Wizard Robert.”
Robert laughed loudly and said, “Alright, there’s no need to be so polite. Quickly come over and sit down.”
After saying this, he pulled Heath’s hand and walked back.
This scene once again caused the generals present to be amazed. Robert’s status was so n.o.ble that even a ruler of a region had never seen him treat them so warmly.
Could this be the Young Master of a large family?
While everyone was astonished, Robert had already pulled Heath to sit on the sofa and introduced him to the generals present.
He said, “This is Wizard Heath, from Shadow Tower. He is the most outstanding genius of Shadow Tower in recent years. He has advanced to a Wizard in just ten years after coming to the Wizard World!”
“In addition, Wizard Heath is also a Grand Knight who is proficient in the art of war!”
Pausing for a moment, he said to an old man, “Baxter, didn’t you ask me how the chaos in the northwest corner was calmed down? It was Wizard Heath who did it!”
Everyone suddenly understood.
Heath’s brilliant performance on the battlements had long been spread in the fortress. Many people knew that there was a young Wizard who had just arrived at the fortress and was calm in the face of danger. He helped to turn the fortress into a safe place.
Robert was famous for cheris.h.i.+ng talents in the fortress, so it was not surprising that he could perform like that in front of such a person.
Wizard Baxter looked Heath up and down and smiled. “Although I heard about your deeds first, I always thought that it was an exaggeration. After all, what kind of talent could there be in a place like the Underdark Treesea?”
“Now that I see it, I know that I was conceited. You are indeed a young hero!”
Heath returned the bow humbly. “Compared to what the Ice Emperor Wizard has done for the fortress, my meager strength is not worth mentioning.”
Baxter was stunned. “You know me?”
Heath said, “I heard about your deeds from the warriors in the dining hall. If you had not acted in time to freeze the collapsed area when the city wall collapsed, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
“Only a powerful Wizard like you can use such a large area of solid city wall freely. It’s worthy of the name of the Ice Emperor.”
This was a high-level Wizard from the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress. In a battle, the city wall of the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress had been broken by a high-level species of Wraiths. Baxter reacted quickly and froze the place, allowing the fortress to escape from danger.
This was Baxter’s most glorious battle achievement in the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress. Hearing Heath’s words, he immediately caused a commotion in the venue.
“Hahaha, old fellow Baxter, look at how arrogant you are!”
“This is enough for you to brag about for a lifetime!”
“Even the new recruits who just arrived at the Fortress know about it!”
Baxter’s face was flushed red and he looked very comfortable. He did not expect that after so long, the basic level warriors would still be narrating his legend.
However, these generals would never have thought that this was pure nonsense from Heath. No matter how much their achievements were worth bragging about, it had been so long ago. How could the basic level warriors talk about it every day?
The reason why Heath knew about it was purely from the soul fragments extracted from the bodies of the dead warriors a few days ago.
These soul fragments were the lives of the warriors, and many of them were related to the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress, and many of them were gossip about these generals.
It was easy to find something to brag about.
Anyone would like to hear something nice. Baxter was in a good mood and could not help but say, “I heard that Wizard Heath is proficient in all kinds of spells, including ice spells. If there’s a chance, we can exchange some ideas.”
‘Haha, this old man is too easy to coax!’
Heath was happy in his heart. He quickly said, “It’s my honor to receive the guidance of the Ice Emperor!”
Robert laughed and said, “Alright, alright, old Baxter. Teaching disciples is your private matter. Don’t take up public s.p.a.ce here.”
Pausing for a moment, he turned to Heath and said, “Wizard Heath, the main reason I invited you here is to thank you for your help earlier. It’s thanks to your help that the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress has avoided even greater losses.”
“I, Robert, am clear about the rewards and punishments. Since you have contributed to the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress, you should be rewarded!”
After saying that, he waved to one side.
There were two Knights on the other side, holding a tray in their hands. It was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time.
After hearing Robert’s words, they quickly carried the tray over and placed it in front of Heath.
There was a bronze badge on the tray. The main body of the badge was a dragon. There were three grooves on it, and two of the grooves had a gem embedded in them.
This was the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress’ soldier medal. It was something equivalent to a military rank. It represented a warrior’s status, status, and treatment in the fortress.
The medal was divided into four levels: black iron, bronze, silver, and gold. Each level was divided into three levels: lower, middle, and upper. For example, the medal in front of him was a bronze middle-rank medal.
Robert said, “Here, as the supreme commander of the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress, I officially award you with a Bronze Intermediate Medal. I hope that you will continue to work hard.”
Heath immediately stood up and bowed.
‘Haha, I just got here and I’m already promoted. This is too awesome!’
It was extremely difficult to upgrade this kind of soldier medal. According to what Heath had seen from the soul fragments that he had extracted, many warriors who had been in the fortress for several years had only been promoted to intermediate black iron.
Although he was happy, Heath was not particularly surprised.
An official rank Wizard would receive a bronze badge once they were recruited into the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress. Previously, Heath had reduced the fort’s losses on the battlefield, so it would not be too much to upgrade him by one rank, right?
What really surprised Heath was Robert’s next reward…
“Also…”
Robert took out his dimensional pocket and took out an item from it.
It was a cross-shaped sword. Both hands held a cross-shaped sword. Its body was wider than the palm, and its blade was dark red. The hilt was black and red, and there was a red gem hidden in the sword garret. The whole thing looked exceptionally beautiful.
The moment he saw the big sword, Heath’s gaze was immediately attracted.
He could not help but praise, “Good sword!”
As a Knight, he still had basic eyesight. Even if it was just a naked eye, he could tell that this was definitely not an ordinary weapon.
What surprised Heath even more was that he could feel several strong elemental fluctuations from the blade.
In other words, this sword was a Wizard tool, at least an official Wizard tool…
