I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 29 The Water Ghost (Part 1)

Aristocracy.

Lynn didn't know much about the nobility. Whether from his memories of his previous life or in this life, what he heard most about them was their extravagant lifestyle.

"I've told you what you wanted to know," Sersi said.

Lynn stood up. "I'm sorry, your answer is different from Zerom's. It seems you were lying to me."

"I didn't lie to you, I didn't!" Sersi said in horror.

"Oh, right, I remember what that person looked like. I secretly watched him. They got into a carriage with roses on it. It must be Viscount Borent. That's the Viscount Borent's coat of arms," ​​Sersi said.

Lynn walked behind Sersi, pressed one hand against his head to keep him from moving, and used the other hand to make a circle around his neck with a knife.

"Shh, don't move. It might hurt a little, but it will stop hurting soon."

Sersi struggled as her head was held down, like a dying fish.

"You should get some rest." Hamilton returned home carrying a large bag of medicine, looking at Annika who had a worried expression.

Annika has been like this ever since Ava was captured.

Hamilton took a money pouch from his waist pocket and poured the gold coins onto the bed.

Annika stared at the glittering gold coins lying on the blanket, then grabbed Hamilton's hand nervously. "Where did you find so much money?"

Annika said nervously, "In the past, our family couldn't earn this much money even if we didn't eat or drink for ten years."

Hamilton said, "Our family is rich now."

"Can we use this money to get Annika back? We can give you the money," Annika said.

Hamilton fell silent, then changed the subject, "I saw Lynn today."

Annika looked up, her dark eyes brightening.

She struggled to move her weak body, peering behind Hamilton. "Where's Lynn?"

"Lynn went to take care of some errands. He'll come find us later."

After a pause, Hamilton thought of Lynn's recent changes and added a sentence.

"Lynn is amazing now, even more amazing than me, his father."

Annika was very disappointed.

She didn't care whether Lin Enli was powerful or not; she just hoped that Lin Enli would be safe and sound.

Borg, who was boiling water nearby, heard his father mention his older brother and his eyes lit up with joy. He was convinced that his older brother was still alive; in his eyes, besides their father, the most powerful person in the world was his older brother.

Lynn, armed with the information provided by Big Gold Tooth, arrived at a small island in the center of the port city, outside Viscount Borent's territory.

Bangor Port is the territory that the Borent family has inherited for generations.

This place was originally just an ordinary port, but in recent years, with continuous development, the port has become more and more developed, and the Borent family has also grown stronger in the process.

It gradually grew into a large family.

Big Gold Tooth gave Lynn more information than was available on the market.

It is said that the ancestor of the Borent family was once a fisherman who one day received the blessing of the sea god. That ancestor was known as the spokesperson of the sea god and later helped a prince when the kingdom was reclaiming lost territory to the south.

After the prince ascended the throne and became king, the Borente family was granted the title of viscount and the fiefdom of Bangor.

But Big Gold Tooth and his friends know more than most people. It is said that each generation of the Borent family has a superhuman similar to their ancestor, so many people speculate that the Borent family may have some kind of inheritance.

As for receiving the blessing of the sea god, Big Gold Tooth would scoff at that.

The so-called sea god is utter nonsense. Fishermen who urinate in front of sea god statues return with full catches, while sailors who devoutly worship the sea god every day drown at sea. If there really is a sea god, he is a useless and evil god.

The Borent family's residence was located in the heart of Bangor Port, with a canal running through the city. The Borent family's residence was situated in the center of the port city, right next to the river.

Lynn was skeptical about God's existence; he did not completely deny God's existence, but he also did not blindly trust God.

Although there are gods in the legends, these gods have never actually appeared.

Although every town has a church and priests, these priests are just ordinary people.

Lynn heard that the priest in his small town, who was in his fifties and liked to drink, had fallen in the snow one snowy night and frozen into an icicle.

He also attended the priest's funeral. Although the priest was an alcoholic, he was kind and approachable, and would go to pray for anyone who passed away, free of charge. But the priest did not possess any supernatural powers.

The kingdom seems to be intentionally or unintentionally restricting the church. If he could read history books from much earlier times, he might know more, but as an ordinary person, he has no right to read such books.

When Lynn traveled south with his master Anglie, he imagined the various magnificent stories they would encounter along the way.

Aside from the accident in the mine, they did not encounter any other unexpected events involving supernatural powers.

It seems that there aren't as many people with extraordinary powers in this world as I imagined.

Reflecting on the teacher's words, it seems that beneath the ordinary world lies a deeper world.

Perhaps because it is by the sea, the viscount's house is not laid out as a castle, but as a manor, with mountains, water, green plants, fountains and statues.

The Viscount Manor was brightly lit; a grand banquet was being held there tonight.

The high walls were covered with thorns.

But this didn't faze Lynn. The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, the soil softened, and soon a large hole formed beneath his feet.

The iron earthworm poked half its head out, then sank back down.

Lynn crawled into the Viscount's manor through a hole that could easily accommodate a person.

But how can one find the clues they want in such a large manor?

Footsteps approached from afar, and Lynn's eyes flickered slightly.

They hid in the nearby bushes.

Judging from the footsteps, there should be several people.

Through the gaps in the bushes, Lynn could see several people dressed as servants.

None of them spoke; they kept their heads down and hurried along.

That's not right. According to the TV dramas I watched in my previous life, shouldn't there be a few guards or maids walking and talking, revealing the master's secrets, and then the protagonist just happens to overhear them?

Lynn lay in wait as he slowly approached the manor in the center.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded ahead.

A blonde little girl who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old was pouting and running out of the castle in a huff.

An older maid was chasing after her.

"Miss, Miss, where are you going?" the maid asked anxiously.

"Hmph, leave me alone. I don't want to marry that count. He's almost forty, about the same age as my father. I don't want to marry him," the blonde little girl said angrily.

"And he has three daughters and four sons! Am I supposed to face a bunch of stepchildren who are older than me every day?!"
