Chapter 373 Let’s Go

At this moment, Heath asked Amy to prepare and specially serve the apple for Eric to eat. Of course, the apple was not an ordinary apple. It was the apple that every Apprentice Knight flocked to. It was the Golden Apple that had a huge effect on Apprentice Knights advancing to Knights.

Since he had decided to help Eric with his Knight training, Heath would certainly prepare everything. He had already prepared the Golden Apple a long time ago. The reason why he had not taken it out for Eric was because he hoped that he could develop a good training habit.

There were too many mystical materials in this world. Many of them could bring great help in Knight training. These materials could make a shortcut in Knight training, such as the Golden Apple.

However, these materials required a large number of resources to exchange for. Even if Heath could help Eric by staying here, he would have to leave sooner or later. Once he left, Eric would no longer have the cultivation resources he provided. He would develop the habit of using resources to improve his strength. This would definitely have a great impact on his Knight’s path. It was even possible that he would not be able to accomplish anything.

In order to avoid that kind of situation in the future, it was better to cultivate Eric’s good habits now and let him know that he could obtain strength through his own efforts and perseverance. It was because of this that… Heath had never provided any resources to help Eric on his path of training.

Otherwise, with his strength as an intermediate-level Wizard, not to mention an outstanding Apprentice Knight like Eric, even giving an ordinary person the strength of a Knight would be a piece of cake for him.

“Come on, Eric. You have outstanding talent. Becoming a Knight is only a matter of time. Don’t give up so easily. Only those who persevere can succeed.”

“I will, Teacher.”

Eric’s matter came to an end temporarily. Heath quickly put his mind back to the previous experiment.

Day after day, Heath kept trying in the laboratory, trying to combine the Three-Eyed Silver Fish and the Long-Legged Lizard.

However, the process did not go smoothly.

It was the same problem as before.

The rejection of cells made it almost impossible for two species to combine. Once it was mixed together, the rejection would cause the activity of the substance to quickly disappear. Both the Three-Eyed Silver Fish and the Long-Legged Lizard would die in an instant. Even the body would wither and rot in an extreme time.

In order to solve this problem, Heath had to experiment again and again, constantly changing various materials to try, changing the combination of various materials, and constantly doing a lot of calculations.

After repeated calculations, Heath finally —

Failed again.

Golden Harbor Town, Heath’s Lighthouse, laboratory

Poof! A soft sound was heard.

The long Three-Eyed Silver Fish exploded on the experimental table. Fresh blood mixed with minced meat splashing out. The long body of the Three-Eyed Silver Fish quickly withered in the blink of an eye, like a rapidly withering flower.

Heath put down his bloody gloves and frowned. “It really is…”

Amy stood beside him, looking at Heath worriedly. “Teacher…” Amy had seen Heath’s hard work for the experiment with her own eyes. Almost every day, when he opened his eyes, he would rush into the lab, calculating, testing, dissecting, and searching for information.

He did not sleep or rest. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had put all his energy into this experiment.

However, even though he had put in so much effort, he still could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. There would always be problems that led to the failure of the experiment.

Problems were not scary. What was scary was that the problem was that he did not know how to solve it. The problem of cell rejection had been blocked every single time.

Amy quickly gave him a cup of hot water. “Teacher, have some water and rest for a while.”

Heath waved his hand. “I’m fine.”

After some thought, he took the cup from Amy’s hand. After such a long time, he was really thirsty.

Amy glanced at the messy table, then deftly walked up to clean it up. “Wait, Teacher, I’ll clean up the table now.”

Heath must have nodded and stood aside, waiting for Amy to clean up the table and start the second round of the experiment.

Unexpectedly, before Amy walked up, Heath stopped her and said, “Wait a minute.”

Amy turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t worry,” Heath said. “Let’s put it aside for now. I’m afraid we have to stop the experiment.”

Amy was surprised. “What?”

She had been with Heath for a long time, so she knew Heath’s character. After so long, Heath was definitely not a person who would give up easily. No matter how difficult the situation was, as long as he persisted in his heart, he would try his best. But now…

Was it because this experiment had dealt too much of a blow to her teacher…

Amy couldn’t help but say, “Teacher, don’t worry. We’ll succeed. This failure is nothing. Let me think. Maybe it’s because the medicine is too strong. Maybe we can change it to Rootless Fruit.”

Heath was stunned. He glanced at Amy, who was trying to persuade him, and quickly understood what she meant.

He couldn’t help but laugh. “Hey, little girl, is it your turn to comfort your teacher?”

Hearing Heath’s laughter, Amy was a little relieved. She quickly asked, “Teacher, are you okay?”

Heath said, “Of course I’m okay! I’m not that weak.”

A weak person couldn’t become an intermediate-level Wizard, right?

Amy said, “Then why did you suddenly stop the experiment?”

Heath said matter-of-factly, “There’s a problem with the experiment method. If we continue the experiment, there won’t be any progress. If we don’t stop the experiment, are we still wasting time here?”

Amy was relieved.

“I see…”Amy asked, “So, now we…”

Heath touched his chin and said, “I might have to go on a trip to look for some materials.”

Amy asked, “Is it about this experiment?”

Heath nodded. “Yes. We can’t complete this experiment with the current material mix. To complete it successfully, we have to find some special materials. We have to go on a long trip.”

Amy said, “So you’re going to…”

“Underground,” Heath said.

Amy was surprised. “Underground?”

Heath nodded. “I read about it in a book. There’s a fruit called the ‘Rebirth Fruit’. This fruit has incredible energy. It can reverse the rejection of different substances and combine them. If we use this fruit to make potions, we can solve the problem of rejection in our experiment.”

Amy suddenly understood. “I see. So the underground you’re going to is the place where these fruits grow?”.

Heath nodded. “The Rebirth Fruit is an underground magic material. It only grows underground. I have to go to the underground world to find it.”

He did as he thought. After telling Amy about it, Heath quickly began his new journey. The destination of this journey was no other place. It was the place in the Wizard World that was second only to the sea in terms of mystery —

Underground

A few days later, at Golden Harbor Town, at the dock.

Standing on the dock, Heath was saying goodbye to Amy.

Heath said, “Let’s stop here. Go back early and take care of Nami. If you run into any trouble, contact Jackman with the conch. I’ve told him in advance to help if there are any problems.”

Amy said, “Okay, Teacher.”

After a pause, she said reluctantly, “Then you must come back early. Amy is still waiting for you in the lighthouse.”

Although they hadn’t spent much time together, Amy had become very dependent on Heath. After all, she had been living a hard life since she started to become a Wizard. She had to work hard every day for a small number of training resources. She had to get up early, sleep late, and live like a slave.

Since she met Heath, Amy’s life had become much easier. She didn’t need to do a lot of work every day. She only needed to take care of Heath’s food and living in the castle.

Although participating in Heath’s experiments was a bit harder, she was deeply involved in it. She could learn a lot from it and it would be of great help to her advancement in the future.

ne

She had participated in the experiments of other Wizards before, but she only did some marginal work in the experiments and didn’t learn anything. She had only been a free labor force for Wizards.

Now, she was reluctant to part with Heath and her life.

Heath was a head taller than Amy. He reached out and messed up Amy’s hair. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back.”

After saying goodbye, Heath turned around and boarded the sailboat.

It was not an easy task to go underground. He needed to go through the passage between the underground and the land. One of the passages was in the Black Forest. In other words, Heath had to go to the Black Forest

first.

On the deck, Heath looked around.

It was an ordinary three-masted sailboat. The cabin on the deck had a total of two floors. On the spacious deck, there were many large wooden barrels. Sailors in sailor suits were busy on the deck.

On the side of the deck, there was a badge of the sailboat, which stated the family of the sailboat and its origin.

This was a sailboat, and it needed to go to Changbai Town on the west side of the Gold Coast to carry the goods back. Changbai Town was the town closest to the Black Forest in this area.

Although Heath had another personal Wizard ship, it required a lot of Magic Stones to drive the Wizard ship. He did not have a particularly strong time demand, so there was no need to waste the Magic Stones. It was okay to hitch a ride occasionally.

“Hurry up and clean the deck. We have to set off before the sun rises. Otherwise, we won’t be able to feel the Crescent Reef at sunset. Do you all want to spend the night on the sea?”

“Yes, Captain!”

A loud man’s voice sounded. On the deck, a man wearing a button-down gown with two small whiskers was directing the sailors on the deck.

This was the captain of the sailboat, Chuck. When he saw Heath come up, Captain Chuck walked over and bowed. “Good morning. Respected Scholar Heath, are you here?”

In order to board the sailboat, Heath had paid Captain Chuck a lot of gold coins. In addition, Captain Chuck was also a very traditional captain. He admired those who had knowledge and culture the most. It was not surprising that he was so polite at this time.

Heath nodded. “Good morning, Captain.”

After a brief greeting, he asked, “When do we set off?”

Captain Chuck said, “Before the sun rises to the sky, I promise that we will sail into the sea. This is a guarantee of Chuck’s reputation.”

Heath said, “Alright then, but it’s fine. I’m actually not in a hurry.”

Captain Chuck smiled and said, “If every passenger can be as easy to communicate with as you, Sir Scholar, that would be great.” Heath shrugged and did not continue the conversation.

Captain Chuck saw that and did not continue chatting with Heath. He pulled a sailor over and said, “Bring Scholar Heath to his room.”

“Yes.”

Following the sailor, Heath quickly came to a room on the second floor of the deck. The first floor of the deck was reserved for the sailors. The light was not good, and the rooms were very crowded. The second floor of the deck was reserved for the guests who boarded the sailboat. There were more than twenty guests including Heath. Some of them went out to play, while some went out to do business.

After walking around on the deck and passing through two long corridors, the sailor stopped at the door of a room with Heath and skillfully took out the key to open the door.

The sailor asked politely, “Sir Heath, your room is here. Can you take a look?”

Heath walked into the room.

The room was more spacious than he had expected. The hall alone was no less than thirty square meters, and there were two small doors beside the hall. After entering, there was a room in each room. One of the bedrooms was connected to a balcony. It was really a good layout to create such a space on the deck.

Heath nodded. “I’m very satisfied.”

With that, he casually took out two gold coins and threw them to the sailor beside him.

The sailor who received the gold coins was ecstatic. He repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Heath. “Thank you, Scholar Heath. You’re really a generous scholar. It’s really an honor to be able to entertain you…”

Heath waved his hand. He had no intention of chatting with the sailor…
