Chapter 353: Invitation
Heath was enlightened.
He said, “I see. Is this why you were able to sneak into my lighthouse?”
Heath looked at the compass-like device curiously. He really wanted to know what kind of rune structure was used in this thing. It could even break the defensive magic array that he had set up. Jackman said that this was a Wizard tool used to break magic arrays and magic restrictions. Such a Wizard tool was really rare.
While Heath was guessing, Jackman spoke again, “Hey, buddy, don’t just stare at this thing, okay? If you want to study it, there will be plenty of opportunities later.”
After a pause, he suddenly asked, “Don’t you want to know why I borrowed such a tool from my teacher?”
Hearing Jackman’s question, Heath was really curious.
Jackman had also said that this was a Wizard tool used to break magic arrays and magic traps. So, Jackman’s purpose of borrowing this Wizard tool was basically to break magic arrays and magic traps, then, where did such things appear the most? Heath asked in puzzlement, “Are you going to explore some ruins?”
After thinking about it, Heath felt that this was the most likely. After all, the places where magic arrays and magic traps appeared the most were undoubtedly those ruins, and only in these places would there be a place where this Wizard tool could be used.
As expected.
Not long after Heath’s words fell, Jackman nodded heavily and praised, “You’re really smart!”
He said, “Brother Heath, you guessed right. I’m planning to explore a ruin. This is the reason why I came to visit you this time. How is it? Are you interested?”
Ruin?
Heath asked, “What ruin? Where is it?”
Jackman explained, “It’s a ruin from the era of Aramsted. A friend of mine found it by accident when he was on a trip in the Moon Gin Bay.”
“He’s just a low-level Wizard, and that ruin is by an intermediate-level Wizard. He couldn’t handle it by himself, so he came to me, hoping that I would go with him.”
Heath said, “Others are asking you, not me.”
It was taboo to invite a third party to join the exploration of the ruin. No one liked to walk in a dangerous place with an unfamiliar person. After all, no one could be sure whether it was a helper or a troublemaker, or
even…
Jackman shook his head and said, “It’s okay. My friend has a good personality. He also specifically asked me to call two friends if I could. It’s safer that way. So, I thought of you at the first moment. I got his permission, So…”
Heath thought for a moment.
He was more interested in exploring the ruins. After all, it could satisfy his desire for adventure and also give him a chance to get good things. If he could get one or two high-level magic knowledge formulas and runes from it, he would benefit a lot.
However, going out to explore the ruins with strangers was really…
Seeing Heath hesitate, Jackman could not help but persuade him, “Hey, buddy, don’t be timid, okay? You are an intermediate-level Wizard after all. We are only beginner Wizards. Are you afraid that we will eat you?”
After hearing Jackman’s words, Heath thought that it made sense. The difference between the strength of a beginner Wizard and an intermediate-level Wizard was not something that could be described with just a few words. Although it was not as big as the difference between an Apprentice and a Wizard… It was definitely not something that could be easily crossed.
So he thought for a moment and nodded, “When will you go? I’ll take a look. If I have time, I can accompany you on a trip.”
Jackman said, “Next week. If you agree, we’ll come to Golden Harbor Town to look for you. We’ll set off from Golden Harbor Town. It’s closer to the Moon Gin Bay.”
Heath said, “Okay.”
“Then, it’s a deal. See you next month.”
“Yes, see you.”
After settling the matter of the ruins, Jackman stood up and left. The time of a Wizard was completely different from that of a human. There was no day or night. Usually, there were only two concepts: doing something and completing something. Since the agreement had been made, the purpose of this trip had been achieved. Of course, there was no reason for him to stay.
Heath wanted to keep him for a gathering, but after thinking about it, there was no reason for him to. After all, they were not far from each other and could meet at any time. He just simply sent him off.
When he arrived at the dock, Jackman suddenly thought of something and suddenly said to Heath, “Oh right, Nami asked me to ask you, how are the preparations here?”
After coming out of the Deep Sea Feast, Heath started to fulfill his promise. However, it was not easy to give Mermaids a pair of real human legs. Even with Heath’s strength, he still needed to make sufficient preparations, materials, resources, and some corresponding knowledge.
Heath explained, “Let her wait a little longer. I’m not completely confident. There is still some knowledge that I need to figure out.”
Jackman said, “In my opinion, you shouldn’t have agreed to the Mermaid’s nonsense or given her a random leg. Anyway, if she really goes ashore, she won’t be able to live for long. Why waste so many materials and energy?”
Heath shook his head. “It’s what I promised.”
Jackman said, “Okay, okay.”
In the darkness of the night, Jackman’s Wizard ship quickly left the dock and silently headed toward the depths of the sea. Under the effect of the camouflage spell, his departure did not alarm anyone in the harbor.
After Jackman left,Amy, who was accompanying him, walked up and asked, “Be honest, Teacher. Are you really going to explore the ruins?”
Heath nodded and said, “I’m going.”
Amy said expectantly, “Can you take me with you? I want to see the ruins too.”
Amy had never traveled alone on the path of a Wizard, so she had no chance to explore some ancient ruins. This was a rare opportunity, and she was with her respected teacher, it would be great if she could go.
Unfortunately, Heath shook his head firmly. “No, you’re still too weak. That’s an intermediate-level Wizard’s ruin. If you’re not careful, you might die. Even I can’t take good care of you.”
Amy frowned. “But…”
Heath shook his head and said arbitrarily, “No buts. There’s no room for discussion. I’ve already decided.”
Amy was only an advanced Apprentice and was not even a Wizard. She might not even be able to escape unscathed from the ruins of a beginner-level Wizard, let alone an intermediate-level one, going there was simply courting death.
In such a dangerous situation, even Heath might not be able to take care of her.
