I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World

Chapter 88



“It’s actually him who’s been wanting to meet you,” Harin said to Lynn. “Actually, we’re two sides of the same coin, and yet not.”

“You’ve shown great promise during this time. You’ve done well, progressing from a commoner to where you are now. You’ve been much luckier than I was back then,” Angley said slowly.

“You’ve always been curious about our relationship,” Harin remarked.

“Shut up! Let me speak,” Angley interrupted Harin, clearly annoyed at being interrupted.

“Then go ahead,” Harin scoffed, then pushed the door open and left.

“Don’t mind that guy,” Angley said. “Let me tell you a story, and you’ll understand.”

“One hundred and fifty years ago, in a small village in the Erdolu Kingdom, there lived a young boy. The people of the village called him Strange Angley because he often sat alone in a corner, muttering to himself and sometimes laughing at nothing.

“The villagers looked down on him, but his sister understood him, believing that there were truly two people living in his head, calling them big brother and second brother.

“Later, Angley, the one who went up the mountain, accidentally found an inheritance of a wizard apprentice. He was talented and easily learned the knowledge within the inheritance, bringing his sister along to learn with him. Unexpectedly, his sister had more talent than he did, making faster progress in meditation than him.

“He was happy, and the siblings agreed to keep their ability to use magic hidden, as at that time, the kingdom had a suppressive attitude towards non-noble extraordinary beings. Women who could use magic were accused by nobles of being witches, forced to serve the nobles or burned alive.

“Their inheritance recorded a place called Bangor Port, from which one could board a ship to the Wizard Continent. For the two siblings who had only lived in a village and had at most visited a town, the Wizard Continent described in Bangor Port was the beautiful place they had dreamed of every night.

“Finally, the two siblings arrived at Bangor Port and waited for three years before finally boarding that ship. On the ship, they met a noble wizard apprentice. The noble wizard apprentice was witty, knowledgeable, and unlike other noble apprentices, he didn’t disdain the siblings’ commoner background. They treated him as a friend.

“But who would have thought that this so-called friend would later betray Angley’s sister in order to compete for a treasure? Although they managed to save her life, Angley’s sister was cursed.

“To treat his sister, the two personalities in Angley’s head took turns using their body: one attended classes and earned money during the day, while the other studied mutation and curses at night.”

Listening to this, Lynn already knew who the other personality in Angley’s head was. He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the closed door.

He hadn’t expected that Angley and Harin had such a relationship. And from the looks of it, they had somehow separated the personalities and even created another body.

But what puzzled him was, according to the story Angley told, wasn’t Angley supposed to be the primary personality, and Harin the secondary one?

“Compared to my indecisiveness, Harin is more suited to survive in the wizarding world. And it was my wrong decision that led to believing in that person, resulting in my sister’s current condition,” Angley said despondently.

“If you do wrong, you have to pay the price. I warned him from the beginning that person wasn’t good, but he insisted on trusting himself, so I turned him into a puppet and made him do all the dirty work,” Harin said as he walked in from outside.

“You’re right,” Angley smiled.

“And her…” Lynn was curious about the sister they mentioned. How was she doing now? Was the curse removed?

He thought of the lizard he had last seen, it had been a long time since then. Could it be that it was teacher Angley’s sister?

Harin seemed to have guessed Lynn’s thoughts. “That one is one of my students. Due to a failed experiment, she ended up in her current state. Every once in a while, she loses her sanity, but then gradually regains it. However, I’ve found a solution.”

“Anna is still alive, but her situation isn’t good,” Harin said, his expression turning grim.

“So, teacher Angley sought me out and asked me to kill all the noble apprentices from the Erdolu Kingdom who boarded the ship,” Lynn realized.

Putting himself in the shoes, if his own sister, who he depended on for everything, had such an experience, not only the egg yolk would scatter, even the earthworms in the soil would be dug out and chopped vertically.

“The last time Diasterdan contacted me for cooperation, the plan was temporarily changed. I won’t tell you the specifics. You should know that there are divination techniques and certain methods among the wizards that can make people reveal the truth. The more you know, the worse it is. However, as for those noble apprentices, if you kill them, there won’t be any serious consequences,” Harin said.

“Teacher, are there really so many inheritances for wizard apprentices?” Lynn asked, voicing his doubts.

“Of course not,” Angley shook his head.

“In the Wizard’s Council, there’s a position called the Truth Spreader,” Angley mentioned another place.

“Wizards seek the truth,” Lynn said.

“Exactly. The Truth Spreader spreads the seeds of truth. Like dandelions, these seeds fly everywhere, seeking out people with wizarding talent and coincidentally falling into their hands. The one I obtained years ago was also one of these seeds,” Angley said.

Lynn suddenly realized, no wonder—

Why was it that there were few wizard apprentices one encountered in the Erdolu Kingdom, but there were quite a few at the final dock in Bangor Port?

These seeds contain records of boarding information, and every ten years, the fleet will harvest this batch of sprouted seeds.

Most newly acquired wizard apprentices spend most of their time studying and receiving the inheritance. In situations where their strength is insufficient, they tend to stay low-key and rarely venture out, making them difficult to encounter.

Of course, there are all sorts of personalities in the world. There are those who venture out as soon as they acquire the wizard inheritance, but these individuals either get recruited by nobles or meet unfortunate ends. There are a few who manage to survive, but their situations are probably not favorable, as they mostly live in hiding.

Because the power of wizards during the apprentice stage is not exaggerated, a well-prepared army can easily crush them.

Assessment of character is probably also a threshold for wizards to select seeds.

“Lynn, we’ve known each other for almost a little over a year now,” Angley said.

“441 days,” Lynn replied.

“I see parts of my past self in you,” Angley said somewhat nostalgically.

“Young Lynn was much more decisive than you were,” Harin bluntly exposed Angley.

Angley responded calmly, “That’s why I said parts.”

“If only I had your quick wit back then,” Angley chuckled and shook his head.

“I won’t reminisce then, lest someone mock me again.”

“You, my last piece of advice for you in the wizarding world: you may resort to any means for resources, but never forget to pursue the footsteps of truth.”

“Good luck, kid,” Angley chuckled softly.

“Teacher Angley, may I apply to become your student?” Lynn asked.

Angley shook his head, “I’m afraid I don’t have the time. I’ll be quite busy in the coming years. If you become my student, it will only delay your progress. I’ll keep an eye out for the experiment you’re involved in. Oh, and there are official wizards who come out to teach every day in the outer court. Each lesson costs one magic stone as tuition. The content of the lesson will be announced a week in advance, so you can prepare in advance.”

“Teacher, are there no free lessons?” Lynn asked, puzzled.

“There are, but you probably won’t need them. Those are free knowledge for beginners. The truly valuable knowledge will require payment. Actually, what you can learn with one magic stone is quite worth it. The real value of this knowledge has already been paid for by the academy in advance,” Angley explained.

“There’s also a task board in the service hall where some tasks posted by the academy or official wizards can be found. The rewards vary, so make sure to check what the reward is when taking a task.

“Besides the task board, there are many other ways to earn magic stones, such as selling potions, assisting in experiments, or selling homemade magic items. But it depends more on your own abilities.

“Lastly, I’ve brought your goblin followers here. These goblins are resilient, and the weather in the outer court is always mild, so even if they live outdoors, they won’t encounter any problems.”

“Wishing you good luck, young man.”

Watching the backs of Harin and Angley as they left, Lynn’s mood was complicated. Through gradual contact, Lynn discovered that Angley’s seemingly cold demeanor was just a facade; perhaps after experiencing much, he became indifferent to certain things, but deep down, he still had a soft spot.

As Lynn emerged from the room, he saw the goblins bustling on the open ground.

Some goblins squatted on the ground, bored, while others knocked their heads, telling them not to move around.

Bu and Redeyes maintained order.

“Master,” Redeyes ran over when he saw Lynn coming out.

“You’ll stay here for a night. Tomorrow, I’ll send someone to fix your residence.”

Looking at the 223 goblins on the open ground, since they had already been brought here and they also had value, Lynn had no intention of giving them up.

One of the conditions for advancing to a first-level wizard is to cultivate a legion of followers.

Now, he could start working towards that direction.

These goblins also had their uses. After all, they were a race with wisdom, and many of them had also transformed into extraordinary professions.

Although they were just goblins, they were also goblins who had transformed into extraordinary professions.

Moreover, goblins generally had higher talents in alchemical studies than other races. Lynn planned to select some of them to be his assistants.

Tomorrow, he would find someone to plan and design his residential area and also inquire about the situation in the outer court.

Although Angley had told him how to survive, there were still many details that hadn’t been clarified.
