Chapter 172: Level Up

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

During the following period of time, Heath stayed in the manor to cultivate the shadow, cultivate, and organize the harvest during this period of time.

Occasionally, when he was tired, he would deal with the nobles who came to visit him, or accept the nobles’ invitation to go to a ball or hunt, but generally only the nobles who were familiar with him could enjoy this treatment. The Count, Kayla, and so on.

Of course, when he went to the banquet, he would also bring them some small gifts, such as those that could increase a certain amount of vitality, and those that could increase a person’s resistance, etc.

The days passed day by day in such a busy and fulfilling process.

Three months later, the largest port on the Eastern Coast, White Harbor.

On the long dock, a black-cloaked Heath was standing at one end of the dock, and on the other side were Kayla and the others who came to see him off.

Since he had already obtained the Dark Cloud Beast, Heath naturally had no reason to stay here any longer. After resting for a few months, he was ready to return to the Wizard Continent. After all, the exhausted elements here were not suitable for cultivation.

Kayla said, “Heath, my friend, are you sure you don’t want to stay for a longer period of time? I also want to introduce you to the two young ladies of Cyril Castle. They are twins.”

Heath said with disdain, “It’s you who wants to get to know them.”

After so many years, Kayla had not changed at all. The biggest goal of his life was still to be with a woman.

After the mother and daughter of the Leicester family, he had gotten to know many young ladies over the years, both in and out of the territory.

Kayla smiled embarrassedly and said, “I still need to thank you. Otherwise, the young ladies of the Viscount family would not be able to recognize me.”

Heath said, “Be more confident. You are already a baron now.”

There was no suspense. After Heath returned, Count Portia quickly confirmed Kayla as the heir to the title. As a return gift, Heath gave him a bottle of magic potion that could alleviate aging and prolong life.

He had never forgotten the one Magic Stone that Kayla had given him back then.

Aside from Kayla, Heath had also given some benefits to those who were close to him. Every Apprentice Knight who had fought alongside him back then had been given a bottle of Gold Blood, some training materials for Knights, and so on.

Meanwhile, Alisa, who was by his side, he had given her a farm and potions that could keep her young.

Kayla said, “Compared to that, I care more about the title of ‘Wizard’s friend’. That is the proudest thing in my life, haha.”

After a pause, he asked, “When will you come back next time?”

Heath shook his head. “It depends. When I’m free, I’ll definitely come back.”

Kayla nodded. “Alright then. Come back more often if you’re free.”

“There will always be a place for you here.”

After leaving Kayla and the others, Heath immediately boarded the Wizard ship and embarked on the return journey.

On the deck, Heath, who was holding a compass, was giving orders to the Wizard ship.

“Wind speed 26 knots, humidity 32°…”

“Full port, put away the rope…”

“Set sail!”

Because of the storm, Heath found a lot of sailing knowledge to extract after disembarking. It was obvious that he was not as ignorant as before.

Adjusting the course, controlling the speed, determining the direction of the wind… After setting the autopilot, Heath returned to the cabin.

“Meditation Candle… Elemental Water… Nesser Fruit…”

Taking out the materials used in meditation one by one, Heath made preparations before meditation. After everything was arranged, he summoned the system panel.

“System!”

Whoosh!

The familiar light blue virtual panel appeared in front of him. It was the system panel that had accompanied him for many years.

At the bottom of the panel, the word [Upgrade] was particularly eye-catching.

Staring at the light blue panel, Heath fell into deep thought. His eyes seemed to be filled with hesitation.

After a while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind.

He said, “Upgrade!”

[Beep, confirm whether you want to upgrade the system. Estimated time for upgrade is 10 years (PS: During the upgrade, the system’s extraction function will be suspended).]

Heath said, “Confirm!”

[Beep, the system has started to upgrade. The upgrade progress is 0.0001%…]

As soon as Heath finished speaking, a long progress bar appeared on the virtual interface. Next to it was the progress of the upgrade.

“Ten years… That’s a long time to wait for…”

After thinking for a long time, he finally made the decision to upgrade the system. The main reason was that after advancing to a Wizard, the spiritual force required to increase one’s strength was too high, and the current extraction efficiency of the system could no longer give him much of an advantage.

“Ten years it is. As long as I can increase my efficiency, this little wait is worth it.”

Shaking his head, Heath closed the system interface.

Ten years seemed like a long time, but for a Wizard’s life, it was only ten years of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

As for how to spend these ten years, Heath already had a complete plan, and that was…

Seclusion.

After returning to the Wizard Continent this time, he decided to start his seclusion. After all, the materials he had accumulated now were enough for him to hoard for more than ten years.

After passing through the ten years of an empty window from the system, he would avoid the chaotic war in the Land of Darkness.

“Ten years, I wonder if I can reach the intermediate stage of the Wizard?”

“No.”

“At least the intermediate stage of the Wizard!”

Standing in front of the round window, Heath stared at the waves outside, thinking with great ambition.

The war in the Land of Darkness was still going on, and it had entered a white-hot stage.

Wizards fought against Wizards for resources, for the land of resources, and mortals fought against Wizards for territory, power, and wealth.

Large areas of land were scorched and corpses littered the ground.

Villages and towns were destroyed one after another in the war, but the people who survived showed no signs of stopping. They continued to fight, and everyone’s eyes were bloodshot.

Every day, there was news of a Wizard organization being attacked in the Underdark Treesea, news of a Wizard organization challenging someone, and news of a Wizard organization being destroyed.

It was the same in the human world.

Every day, there was news of a war between a country and a country, news of a territory launching a sneak attack on another territory, news of a king being beheaded, and so on.

Some people wore crowns, some had their heads chopped off, and some even died in the wilderness.

The whole world seemed to have turned into a colosseum, and every day, there were rounds of fighting beasts and rounds of elimination.

No one knew when such elimination would come to an end.

It seemed to be a distant future….
