I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 122 Bounty (Part 1)

"Uncle Toby, could you help me look into the disappearance of one of my followers? I'm worried that it might be targeting me. You know I usually stay in seclusion and rarely go out, so I'm a little uneasy that my follower has suddenly encountered an accident."

"Lynn said."

Toby shook his head. "I knew you were up to something."

Toby shook the bell on the table, and soon a pink-haired demon walked in through the door.

Lynn recognized Fura at a glance.

Fura maintained her stern face, only giving the customer a bright smile when the service was over and a rating was required. Lynn was already used to it.

Fura led Lynn to a building behind the service hall.

Lynn had never been here before, but Fula seemed very familiar with the place and led Lynn directly to the second floor.

The entire building was empty except for four compasses resembling sun crowns placed in the center. Each purple compass had a small round mirror in the middle. Lynn felt that these sun crown-shaped compasses looked somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, it dawned on me that this was the giant solar corona I had seen floating in the air when I was on the airship.

However, that was the giant version, while this is a miniature version.

After asking Lynn about the location and time of the incident, Fura clicked on one of the mirrors. A dynamic scene appeared in the mirror, viewed from a high-altitude perspective. Fura tapped the runes next to it a few times, and the figures in the mirror moved backward.

The video finally stopped when it captured a hunched-over goblin walking along the shadow of a house.

"Is it this?" Fura asked.

"It's this." Lynn touched the smooth mirror surface, never expecting that this mirror could record all the scenes that happened in the Demon City.

Fura manipulated the screen again, zooming in and even rotating it.

This is practically a super-sized, all-around camera.

In other words, nothing that happens in Demon Castle escapes surveillance and recording. There are also three other mirrors. Lynn glanced at the three unactivated mirrors beside him, guessing they might be monitoring the nearby wilderness.

This is the foundation of the Abyss Demon Academy.

This amazing alchemical device was so complex that even when it was placed right in front of Lynn, he couldn't understand its workings.

The scene shows a masked wizard apprentice attacking a goblin, accompanied by a pre-prepared magic scroll and a spell ready to be cast.

"Found it." Fura then followed the wizard apprentice, tracking him all the way until she finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous house in the outer district of the Demon City.

Then quickly drag the progress bar, and up to now, no one has come out of the room, which means that the wizard apprentice is currently in this room.

Fura manipulated the corona a few more times, and some words even appeared on the mirror surface.

The above is the identity of this wizard apprentice.

A non-official resident of Demon City, who arrived in Demon City 367 days ago.

The identity is not recorded on the Wizarding Network, so there are only three possibilities.

First, this wizard has never used the Wizarding Network and is an extremely low-profile wizard.

Second, this wizard has higher authority on the Wizarding Network than the creator of the Demon Eye.

Third, his strength is too weak; he is merely an apprentice who is not qualified to use the Wizard's Network.

Fura immediately ruled out the second possibility. If it were a wizard of that level, why would they go to such lengths to kill one of Lynn's goblin followers? That would be such a perverse sense of humor.

The first possibility is also unlikely, because very few wizards haven't used the Wizarding Network.

The Wizarding Network has many convenient functions, but they can only be used regularly in the main wizarding world after becoming a certified wizard. Just like in a modern city, you might not find someone who has never used a network device before—they exist, but they are extremely rare.

As for apprentices, they are also qualified to use the Wizard Network, but only wizard apprentices from various factions can use it. Their information is backed up on the Wizard Network after being entered into the academy, and the Wizard Network will be automatically activated under certain special circumstances, such as when they travel to other planes.

Lynn only learned about this function after Fura told him about it.

"There's even this function?" Lynn exclaimed in surprise.

"The Demon Eye has connected to the Wizarding Network and gained some of its owner's permissions on the Wizarding Network, allowing it to query and record data," Fura said.

"I don't know the specifics, that's all I know," Fura quickly said, seeing Lynn's confusion.

Lynn looked at the Demon Eye, lost in thought. Could the finished product connect to the Wizarding Network?

However, considering that the conversion rituals for the followers required the use of magic from the Wizarding Network, Lynn could understand.

In Lynn's understanding, he viewed the Wizarding Network as a massive super server.

Wizards can borrow a portion of the "computing power" from it.

However, permissions are required; the higher the permissions, the more computing power can be utilized.

Lynn pointed to the mirror in front of her and asked, "How many people know it exists?"

"I don't know," Fura shook her head.

Lynn turned to look out the window. Although the view was obscured by clouds and too far away to see clearly, Lynn knew that the four enormous sun coronas were hanging in the sky.

If one is merely a wizard apprentice, it is highly unlikely that they would know of its existence.

Even Lynn only had the chance to see it because of Toby.

Lynn thanked Fula, who took out a rating sheet from her bosom, eager to try it out.

Lynn skillfully took the form and gave it a perfect score.

Back at his lodgings, Lynn called Lauren over and gave her the address of the wizard apprentice he had found.

Given Lauren's resistance to magic, dealing with a wizard apprentice would not be difficult for him unless the person is a formal wizard or possesses a wizard tower.

Lauren put on her cloak and left the house.

In the suburbs of Demon City, a house was filled with all sorts of magical traps, large and small.

Two wizard apprentices waited patiently in a room on the second floor.

"Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"It should be soon."

"He probably didn't realize it might be a trap."

"So what if we guessed it? If he really doesn't come, we'll just raid his followers a few more times. That's a lot of money too." The two apprentices on the second floor communicated by writing on paper.

"The rewards for this mission are quite generous. How will we split them?"

"Give me a spot to become a full-fledged wizard student, and I'll give you two thousand magic stones in return."

"Two thousand won't do, three thousand will do."

Just as the two apprentices were exchanging notes, footsteps came from outside the door.

The two exchanged a glance, then, as if on cue, put away their notebooks and prepared to cast a spell.

boom!

A tall figure burst into the house.

In an instant, the frost trap at the door was triggered, and the icy cold air exploded, sending countless ice crystals flying at him with a tinkling sound.

On the second-floor steps, a swift blade of light and a long, white, bone-like arrow filled with death energy flew out simultaneously from the left and right.

In an instant, all the shots hit the tall figure who burst into the house.

But this did not stop him in the slightest. His figure seemed to move as if he were in an empty space, leaping up to the second floor.

Midway through, another trap was triggered. Exploding flames swept across its scales, and a large hand, passing through the flames, grabbed its head, crushing it like a watermelon.

"weak."

Its thick tail emitted a sharp screech, sending another apprentice flying and crashing into the wall.

"Too weak."

Lauren, who was half-crouched on the ground, straightened up, and her wagging tail tucked in and wrapped around her waist.

With its arms crossed over its chest, the emerald scales gleamed brilliantly in the firelight of the room.

Lauren raised her head, her golden vertical pupils filled with joy and fervor—this was the power her master had bestowed upon her!
