I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 23 Upgrade (Part 1)

Because the teacher was right next to him, Lynn still didn't improve his level under his nose.

After all, whether the sudden increase in mental strength brought about by leveling up will cause any abnormalities, and whether the sudden increase in physical fitness in a very short period of time will cause any abnormalities, these have not been tested yet.

Lynn wasn't sure if he could fool Anglie's eyes.

After tidying up the lab, it really does look much better.

Lynn found a notebook while tidying up the bookshelf. It contained some self-narrations about the second owner.

Lynn didn't know if it was because of the profession of wizard, or for some other reason, but he found that the wizards he came into contact with all seemed to like writing diaries or notes.

What honest person likes to keep a diary?

Lynn muttered to herself.

However, he could understand these people's mentality.

As a wizard, he has relatively few friends because of his profession, and he thinks that most wizards are somewhat reclusive.

Since I have no one to confide in, I like to write in my diary. My diary usually only records some trivial daily events or research insights. I don't record anything private or secret.

Moreover, these diaries were often kept in the most private places. If they were found by someone, it would be because something had happened to them. These diaries and some experimental notes are also evidence that they existed.

Every wizard possesses a certain arrogance.

As researchers among the extraordinary, it's a profession that naturally places them at the top of the social hierarchy.

Even if I disappear in the future, my works, my achievements, and my wisdom will still exist eternally in this world. On the path of truth, there will always be a footprint of mine.

As a fellow wizard, the more Lynn learned about wizards, the more he understood this mentality.

Thinking of this, Lynn couldn't help but steal a glance at his teacher, the one who had led him onto this path.

"Why are you looking at me instead of reading your book?" Anglie frowned suddenly as he looked at the book.

"I'm suddenly so glad I met you, teacher," Lynn said. He was genuinely happy with those words. If he hadn't met Anglie, he would still be an ordinary civilian.

Faced with the exploitation of the sheriff and the aloofness of the nobles, even those with memories of their past lives felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of the prevailing trends of the times.

This is why, for more than half a year after awakening his innate wisdom, he did not use some of his knowledge from his previous life to make a fortune.

This era doesn't value power, but it has something even more terrifying than power—class.

A nobleman's son is born a nobleman, while a commoner's son will remain a commoner for life, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Nobles don't need a reason to kill commoners; they only need to pay a fine.

Only the council of nobles has the power to judge nobles.

Those merchants all had aristocratic backgrounds, and their wealth was accumulated for the benefit of the nobility.

Lynn persuaded his family to go to Bangor Port because he had heard that the atmosphere there was open and he wanted to learn more about the world through Bangor Port before choosing the right path. He originally hoped that there were more than just this one country in the world, and that there must be some countries where class distinctions were not so rigid.

But now he has embarked on a different path, a path that, though unknown, fills him with anticipation and excitement.

Anglie remained engrossed in his book for a long while before saying calmly, "Fate has already marked a price on every gift; you don't need to be grateful."

Lynn was used to her teacher's riddle-like personality.

He didn't care at all. My gratitude is my business, and your reaction is none of my concern.

Lynn flipped through the notes in her hand.

Through the fragments in the notes, and the dictionary book whose cover was almost worn out from being read so many times, which was placed in the corner of the bookshelf.

A vague image was pieced together in Lynn's mind.

An orphan with wizarding potential, living in poverty and suffering humiliation while staying at his uncle and aunt's house, unintentionally inherits a wizarding legacy.

She has a resilient and sunny personality. Every night, she secretly enters the space to learn witchcraft. After growing up, she leaves her uncle and aunt's house.

While wandering, he met the youngest daughter of a count. The two fell in love but were separated because of their different social statuses. Just then, war broke out. In order to obtain a noble title and marry his beloved, the young man joined the war and made a name for himself with his alchemy skills.

The kingdom conquered the enemy country, and the king distributed rewards to the meritorious officials. However, on the way back from the victory banquet, they were ambushed and attacked. They escaped with serious injuries thanks to their trump card.

He hid in the iron mine to gather strength for revenge. He was unsure if he could return. The second successor believed that he might not be able to fulfill the first wizard's last wish. He was also grateful to the first wizard for giving him the opportunity to change his fate. If it weren't for him, he might have remained a country boy for the rest of his life.

So before leaving, I left behind the alchemy lab, my learning experiences over the years, and my final achievements.

Lynn rubbed her chin.

The story of the second wizard in this alchemy lab sounds rather traditional.

I don't know if he succeeded in getting revenge; he probably failed.

Moreover, the two countries mentioned in the notes are very familiar to me.

The country that ultimately won the war was called the Kingdom of Erdor, which is the kingdom where I currently live.

Lynn had heard that the kingdom had once waged war against the south and reclaimed the southern lands, but that was more than two hundred years ago. Those people from back then were probably long gone.

But Lynn considered a deeper possibility.

The second wizard never returned, most likely because his revenge failed, but the alchemical monster he created must have been seen by someone at the time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that some people in the Kingdom of Erdoru know about Iron Earthworms; this thing may be recorded in the collections of some nobles.

Anglie walked to the desk at some point and looked at the blueprints for making the Iron Earthworm.

Shaking his head, Anglie casually said, "Not bad. To be able to produce something like this here, you must have some talent."

"Although I don't know much about alchemy, I do have some understanding of it," Anglie said calmly.

"In fact, for wizarding works, no matter what direction they take, the most important thing is to be the best. You need to have an extreme focus in a certain direction, whether it is lethality, reconnaissance, production, disguise, production cost, or production speed. You need to have a unique feature to make your work stand out."

Lynn put down her book and listened attentively to the teacher's explanation.

"Mediocrity offers no future. For a wizard, it means uselessness, because wizards can study many works." Anglie withdrew his gaze. "The only commendable advantage of this iron earthworm is that the materials needed for its production are relatively easy to collect."

"Yellow eye stone is a common stone with magical properties. Works made from yellow eye stone have a good affinity with the earth."

In the wizarding world, 10kg of yellow eyestone powder costs about 1 magic stone, but iron earthworms are weak in combat. Lacking innate magic, they are merely gifted beasts, not even qualifying as the lowest-level monsters. Their only unique characteristic is that, due to the presence of yellow eyestone, they should be able to traverse underground.

Lynn nodded; he noticed a key phrase: the wizarding world.

Is the wizarding world the teacher mentioned a noun or a pronoun?
