I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 174 The Plague (Part 1)

When Ava returned home, she saw her father sitting on the sofa on the first floor, looking as if he had become thirty years younger, and the man next to him whose appearance had hardly changed. For a moment, she covered her mouth in disbelief.

"elder brother!"

The man next to Ava glanced at Lynn with some confusion. He was Ava's husband and had been in the family for several years, but this was the first time he had met Lynn.

He had only occasionally heard his father-in-law and wife mention this brother-in-law.

"Hello, my name is Nick, and I am a doctor," Nick, Anne's husband, said to Lynn with a smile, extending his right hand.

Lynn politely shook hands in response.

Looking at Ava, who seemed to have a thousand words to say to him, Lynn smiled slightly. "Dinner is ready. Let's eat first, and we can talk afterward."

After dinner, most of the time it was his family members who asked Lynn about his experiences over the years.

Lynn picked out some things she could talk about and told them.

Nick stared at his brother-in-law in disbelief. He was actually the legendary wizard? Good heavens, was it April Fool's Day?

He only accepted the fact after he saw a ball of warm light floating in Lynn's palm.

He glanced at his wife with some fear, wondering if he had ever offended her.

Fortunately, he has a good temper. Although Ava is quite assertive at home, he has never had any conflicts with her.

Otherwise, what if Ava gets her brother to turn her into a pig?

As the rest of the family listened to Lynn's tale of the mysterious wizarding world, Ava's eyes revealed a hint of awe, Borg remained silent with his head bowed, and his little nephew sitting beside him opened his eyes wide with excitement, filled with interest in the wizarding world his uncle was describing.

Hamilton, sitting on the sofa, looked on with pity. Lynn must have suffered a lot all by herself over there.

Hamilton was getting a bit old, and after listening for a while, he became sleepy and went upstairs to his room to rest.

Borg also took his nephew back to his room; the little nephew had to go to school the next day.

Ava, Nick, and Lynn left the house.

"The house next door has always been reserved for you."

Ava said, "We've always had a maid who comes to clean occasionally. Sometimes when we have parties, we'll borrow your garden if we don't have enough space. But my mother always tells us not to come, saying it's your house."

Lynn nodded, then suddenly asked, "Could you tell me about the plague?"

When the plague was mentioned, Lynn's expression turned somewhat grim.

If anyone familiar with Lynn were here, they would know that Lynn is in great danger right now.

Ava paused for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm not sure, but Nick probably knows more. Nick works at the hospital; he's a doctor."

Lynn turned to look at Nick.

Nick quickly replied, "I think I overheard the dean mentioning in casual conversation that the plague came from the north, but I don't know much else."

"Okay, thank you." Lynn nodded.

I took a walk and chatted with Ava and her husband for a while.

After the two went home to rest, Lynn stopped walking.

Lynn's flight that afternoon attracted a lot of attention.

This is certainly unbelievable for ordinary people. Of course, in this era without cell phones or cameras, even if it were to spread, it wouldn't have a significant impact.

Because many people who didn't witness this scene firsthand would simply consider it a ridiculous rumor, and there are far too many of these rumors.

There are evil wizards in the deep mountains, terrifying sea monsters the size of islands in the sea, and ghouls that eat people.

Compared to these thrilling and fantastical rumors, a person who can fly seems rather ordinary.

However, this is only true for ordinary people. For nobles and powerful people who understand this world and know about wizard groups and extraordinary professionals, the truth of this world is not just what they see with their eyes.

There was a constant stream of people coming to investigate, as well as those who came to test the waters after learning about the information.

Among the ants around him, one that seemed to carry a trace of extraordinary energy caught Lynn's attention.

Hiding in the box, a man dressed in a white suit and wearing a white top hat was frowning and staring at the house not far away. His name was Mr. White, and he was a detective at a private detective agency. Private detectives are a new profession that has become popular overseas in recent years.

It initially arose to investigate evidence of infidelity by nobles or merchants.

Later, with the continuous development of the industry, the scope of private investigators' services became increasingly broad.

"What is this?" A calm male voice came from behind.

The white-clad gentleman suddenly shuddered, startled by the sudden sound behind him.

He didn't turn around, but prepared to do a forward roll to avoid it, even if it might soil his favorite white suit.

However, his plan failed, because a hand gripped his neck as tightly as a mountain.

Make him unable to move.

"Alright, little bug, stop struggling, or I'm worried I might lose control and accidentally crush you."

Lynn said calmly.

The white gentleman took a deep breath; he knew he had met a formidable opponent.

So he raised his hands and said, "I was ordered by the Earl to investigate you, but I have found nothing, sir."

"I need to ask you something."

Lynn had no interest in the extraordinary aura emanating from the white gentleman.

Lynn just wants to resolve some minor issues now, and he will take care of them for his family before leaving.

Upon learning that the white gentleman was a detective from a private agency, Lynn thought he was useful and brought him back to the house.

After some questioning, the white gentleman indeed knew more.

The white gentleman overheard that the plague did indeed originate in the north, but before it spread from north to south, traces of the plague had already appeared in the neighboring kingdom of Modo.

When the Kingdom of Erdoru and the Kingdom of Modo were at war, this plague suddenly broke out in the Kingdom of Erdoru, which was also an important factor that led to the Kingdom of Erdoru's defeat in the war.

After paying substantial compensation and ceding territory, the plague that broke out in the Kingdom of Erdoru gradually subsided. This inevitably raises the question of whether the two countries had reached some kind of deal.

"The Kingdom of Modo," Lynn said, his eyes deep. "How can you be sure what you're saying is true?"

"Sir, the truth will out, and the lie will become the truth. You can find out by investigating in the neighboring country. Although the plague that broke out there was not large, quite a few people experienced it. You can find out by asking around there," the gentleman in white said urgently. He had also learned about this news by chance.

"I will investigate."

Lynn raised his head, his dark pupils gleaming with a deep, eerie light in the night.

It's said that a qualified wizard can conquer a small kingdom single-handedly, and I'd love to see if that's true.
