Chapter 285: Conditions
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I don’t think I have the obligation to help you, right?”
Seeing Heath’s words, Jackman naturally understood what Heath meant, so he asked straightforwardly, “What conditions do you want?”
Heath praised, “Straightforward.”
After a pause, he went straight to the point, “Since you are so straightforward, then I’ll say it directly. I need a portion of Purple Coral.”
“Purple Coral?”
Jackman was stunned for a moment. Then, he seemed to have thought of something. He widened his eyes and asked, “You’re going to advance to an intermediate Wizard?”
Purple Coral was a very simple material. Its biggest use was to make Sublimation Water. It was impossible for Wizards not to know what Sublimation Water was used for.
Heath did not answer, but his att.i.tude explained everything.
Jackman exclaimed, “No wonder my magic power could not resist even a little bit in front of you. I see, I see.”
In fact, Jackman was thinking too much.
His own strength had also reached the late stage. The reason why he was defeated so quickly by Heath was mainly because Heath’s magic contained a trace of the power of rules. The difference between a rule-type spell and an ordinary spell was incomparable.
Of course, if Jackman knew that Heath had already comprehended a rule-type spell, he would probably be even more incredulous.
After a pause… Jackman pondered for a moment and said, “Purple Coral, forgive me for being blunt, but Your Excellency’s appet.i.te can’t be too big, right? You should know that such a material is very precious even if it is placed in our Deep Sea Kiss. In terms of value, it is probably not inferior to the material we lost this time.”
Although Jackman’s words were an exaggeration, it was not an exaggeration. Purple Coral itself was an extremely rare material. Not to mention tens of millions, it was still worth seven or eight million.
More importantly, this material could not be bought on the market. All the major Wizard organizations banned the sale of this material.
Heath said, “I have to bear a lot of risks in order to help you testify. It might even lead to the retaliation of the Seafolk Race. Isn’t it too much to take a little reward?”
Jackman said, “Please rest a.s.sured about this. Regarding your ident.i.ty, we will keep it a secret. We will not bring you any risk.”
Heath did not buy it. “If that’s the case, then everyone will say it.”
Jackman pondered for a moment.
He also knew that it would not be easy to convince Heath to testify without giving him any benefits. However, this Purple Coral…
He thought for a moment and said, “It is indeed wrong to ask you to bear the risk for nothing, but this Purple Coral…”
“I’m very sorry. Purple Coral is also a very important material for our Deep Sea Kiss. I’m afraid I can’t agree to it.”
Heath frowned.
He had wanted to use this opportunity to get the Purple Coral, but it seemed that it would not be so easy…
So, at this moment… Jackman continued, “But if you are willing, you can follow me to Deep Sea Kiss. My teacher has the right to control the Purple Coral. As long as we obtain his consent, there will be no problem.”
Heath raised his eyebrows. “So, your Deep Sea Kiss does indeed have Purple Coral now?”
Jackman nodded. “Although there aren’t many of them, there are a few in the treasury.”
Heath felt relieved after getting a definite answer.
In fact, he didn’t expect to get the Purple Coral directly from Jackman. His main goal was to find out more from Jackman and get some clues about the Purple Coral.
He did not expect things to go so smoothly. Deep Sea Kiss indeed had Purple Coral. It was enough for Heath to get the information.
“In that case, Alice and I will stay in the hotel in town for a week. The hotel is called the Red Beard Hotel. It is located on Pearl Avenue. If you agree, you can come to us directly.”
“I hope you will consider it carefully. Goodbye.”
Jackman left with Alice, who had been turned into a toad by Heath.
After closing the door, Heath and Nina returned to the room.
Nina flashed and floated to Heath’s side. She crossed her hands on Heath’s back and said, “Hey, are you really planning to go to that Deep Sea Kiss?”
Heath said, “Why not? This is a rare opportunity for Purple Coral. We’ve been looking for it for so long and you’ve seen the effects. If we miss this opportunity, we don’t know how long we’ll have to look for a needle in a haystack.”
Nina rolled her eyes. “Then why didn’t you just agree to it?”
Heath said, “To keep them in suspense.”
Nina: “…”
Of course, these words were just teasing Nina. The real reason was to make some preparations.
Although Jackman spoke very well and his att.i.tude was very friendly, after all, one could not tell a person’s heart from their face. Now that they were going to their Wizard organization, he still had to prepare some necessary safety measures. If they were in danger, they could still run for their lives, right?
Thus, for the next week, Heath simply stopped teaching and stayed in the laboratory to prepare potions and magic scrolls.
At his current stage, it was impossible for him to improve his strength in a short period of time, but it was still possible to improve some of his combat abilities, for example, the [Spiritual Water] that could restore his spiritual power, the [Fire Dragon Potion] that could increase his strength, and so on. These were the most effective ways for Wizards to improve their combat abilities in a short period of time.
In addition, Heath also arranged for a raven to send two letters. One was to go to the b.l.o.o.d.y Battlefield, and the other was to go to Shadow Tower.
His current strength was still very weak, and his personal strength was very weak in front of the organization. If he really encountered trouble, the organization would have to come out in the end.
In the letter, he did not say anything. He just chatted casually with Ca.s.sandra and Robert, and told them about what had happened before, and explained that he was going to go to Deep Sea Kiss to testify. In any case, the main meaning of the letter was to ask the organization to come forward in case something happened. After all, he was not alone, but a legitimate Light Wizard who belonged to an organization. He had to make use of his ident.i.ty and power.
Of course, there was no need to worry too much. Deep Sea Kiss was a legitimate Light Wizard organization. Abiding by the Wizard Convention was the most basic. They would not, and would not, target him for no reason.
In short, the matter was settled.
After making some simple preparations, Heath set off for the town’s Red Beard Hotel and found Jackman and Alice.
Without further ado, they set off for Deep Sea Kiss the next morning….
