BXBX NOVEL Chapter 234 - Return
Chapter 234: Return
Three months later, at the Sealed Land, Bloody Fortress.
Squeak! Squeak!
The sound of wheels rolling could be heard as a carriage slowly drove into the tall gates of the fortress.
The carriage was surrounded by a circle of guards, including human Knights and Dwarven warriors. There was even a small flag on the carriage. The patterns on the flag explained the origins of the carriage. It had come from the Valley of the Dead Souls.
Sam, who was carrying an axe on his back, looked up at the towering city wall and the giant trees behind the wall. He could not help but sigh, “Oh! I’m finally back!”
At the same time, Knight Aaron rode his horse to the side of the carriage.
Knock, knock, knock! He knocked on the door.
“Sir, we’re here.”
The curtain of the carriage was lifted by a slender and fair hand, and a handsome face appeared in front of the window.
Heath raised his head to look at this familiar environment and nodded. “Okay, I got it.”
With Robert’s return, the issue of the source of troops had basically been resolved. Therefore, after making the necessary arrangements, Robert sent a letter to send Heath back to the fortress in the Valley of the Dead.
The carriage drove all the way to the gate and soon arrived at the square. At this moment, an Elf riding a horse in front of them quickly came over.
The Elf on the horse was none other than Palandi, who had a brief encounter with Heath.
When he came close, the Elf, Palandi, jumped off the white horse and greeted the Dwarf, Sam, who was familiar with him. “Sam, welcome back!”
Sam laughed and said, “Pointy-eared, you actually haven’t died in battle? Your luck is really good!”
Palandi then came to the front of the carriage and bowed to Heath. “Sir Wizard, I am here under the orders of Commander Robert. He is waiting for you in the office.”
The accompanying guards could not help but glance at Heath. He had just returned and was summoned by Commander Robert. From this, it could be seen how important Heath was to Robert.
Heath nodded. “I understand.”
The carriage drove all the way inside and finally stopped in front of the dormitory.
Heath first went to the dormitory to change his clothes and then went to Robert’s office.
Knock, knock, knock! The door was knocked.
Robert, who was arranging the documents in front of his desk, looked up. When he saw Heath standing at the door, a smile appeared on his face.
He stood up and walked over. “Welcome! Welcome back, Wizard Heath!”
Heath entered the door and bowed. “Commander.”
Robert patted his shoulder. “Alright, don’t be so formal. Come and sit.”
Heath and Robert sat down on the sofa in the reception area. Then, they arranged for a servant to send over some drinks and snacks.
Robert pointed at the red liquid in the oak cup and said politely, “The Old Witch’s Red Soup. I don’t know if it’s to your liking.”
Heath was slightly surprised. “The Old Witch’s Red Soup?”
This was actually a very famous drink for Wizards in the Wizard World. Its effect was similar to the Soul Washing Wine, which could also increase spiritual power. However, compared to the Soul Washing Wine… The Old Witch’s Red Soup had a higher elemental content and was purer.
It was worth mentioning that its creator was a very famous old Witch in the Wizard World. The name of the Old Witch’s Red Soup also came from this.
Heath picked up the red soup and took a sip.
As soon as the liquid entered his mouth, Heath felt that the soup seemed to have turned into little people, jumping out of his mouth and rolling down his throat.
At the same time, pure magical energy surged in his body and quickly spread to his spiritual sea. Soon, Heath felt a very comfortable feeling coming from his spiritual sea, it was as if he had just slept.
He looked at it through the system. In just a short while, his spiritual power had risen by 0.5 points. If it was normal training, it would take him at least one or two months to increase it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Heath put down the red soup and said honestly, “It lives up to its reputation.”
After a pause, he said gratefully, “Thank you, Commander.”
The Old Witch’s Red Soup was a very high-grade drink. Many of the ingredients used in it were scarce and basically did not circulate in the market. Hence, this kind of red soup was only circulated among the extremely high-grade Wizard community.
Robert shook his head. “Compared to what Wizard Heath paid for the fortress, it’s just a little drink. It’s not worth mentioning. If you like it, I’ll get someone to send you some later.”
Heath shook his head. “There’s no need for that.”
The Old Witch’s Red Soup brought about an increase in spiritual power that was only effective the first time he drank it. After that, it only had the effect of restoring spiritual power.
Robert said, “It’s okay.”
Then, he did not continue on this topic. He changed the topic and said, “This time, I asked you to come because of two things.”
Heath focused his attention.
Speaking up to this point, Robert hesitated for a moment before angrily saying, “I’m very sorry about the matter with the Partridge family. No one would have thought that they would actually nurture such scum!”
“I’ve already reported this matter to the Tower. Winston has also returned. I’ve also warned them.”
“This is what they asked me to give you. Consider it an apology for this matter.”
As he spoke, he handed over a Magic Stone pocket.
Heath opened the pocket and took a look. There were 100 Magic Stones inside, and all of them were high-grade Magic Stones, which was 1,000,000 Magic Stones. Seeing this, Heath stared with his eyes wide open.
Good guy, they immediately gave out 1,000,000 Magic Stones. Was this the trump card of a high-grade Wizard family?
Robert continued, “It’s inevitable that rats and cockroaches will appear in a clean castle. This matter will end here. What do you think?”
Heath nodded. “Yes.”
The gap between his current energy and a behemoth like Partridge was still too big. Now that Robert had stepped in to mediate, it was natural for him to go down the stairs. Otherwise, if he continued to press on, he would only be asking for trouble.
As for what would happen in the future, that would depend on how he could reach that level in the future.
Seeing Heath accept it so readily, Robert was slightly relieved.
This matter, right and wrong were very obvious. But Heath was only an ordinary Wizard after all, and Partridge was there. If Heath insisted on being serious, even he wouldn’t have a good idea.
Robert continued, “In addition, your achievements in the Valley of the Dead during this period of time have been witnessed by everyone. I’ve discussed with the generals of the Round Table Conference, and after that, I’ll give you another reward at the Commendation Assembly. The fortress will remember what you’ve done.”
Heath said humbly, “You’re too polite. I’m also a member of the fortress.”
Pausing for a moment, he asked, “Also, have you found any clues about the Dark Wizards? I have a feeling that their motive for attacking the Valley of the Dead is not simple.”
Robert said, “Don’t worry, I’ll make arrangements. Those dirty tricks of those black rats won’t cause much trouble.”
Heath glanced at Robert and saw that he was confident, so he did not ask any more questions.
Robert continued, “I’ve asked you to come here today to discuss something with you.”
Heath said, “Please go ahead.”
Robert said, “Your garrison period is over. According to the procedure, you can choose to leave the Bloody Fortress now. Of course, you can also choose to stay. If you choose the latter, in addition to the daily cultivation resources, we will give you an additional subsidy.”
“I want to hear your thoughts.”
