I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 66 Massacre (Part Two)

"Sorry, I was acting in self-defense," Lynn said fluently, without the slightest embarrassment on his face.

When these noble wizard apprentices surrounded him, hoping to plunder the benefits they might have received from the wizard Harlin.

The fate of these noble wizard apprentices is well-known.

Anyway, they're all his targets, so dying early means being reborn sooner, and he can be reincarnated two seconds faster than others.

Moreover, Lynn didn't really care about the so-called justice and evil. After his experiences along the way, Lynn's understanding of the boundaries between justice and evil had gradually become blurred.

Perhaps so-called fairness and justice are nothing more than the victor's symphony.

This place isn't far from where the official wizards live on the back street. The fact that they didn't come out at first and still haven't shows that they're too lazy to deal with this kind of thing, or that there's some rule that prevents them from interfering.

However, the commotion didn't attract the formal wizards inside the building, but it did draw a lot of wizard apprentices who rushed over upon hearing the news.

The screams and the tumultuous scenes of slaughter that filled the air attracted many wizard apprentices, who frequently gasped in shock.

However, unaware of what had happened, they only dared to observe from afar and did not rashly intervene.

Lynn was labeled as brutal in their minds.

Several figures among them looked shocked, staring at the scene in disbelief.

"That headless corpse looks somewhat familiar."

"What's familiar? That's Hans." Someone recognized the corpse.

Why did they start killing Lynn?

"I should know why. Hans invited a lot of people to plunder Lynn's things, but I wasn't interested and refused." Antina looked at Lynn curiously with her azure eyes.

She had actually met Lynn once before, which she only remembered when her Uncle Demps told her about it on the ship.

Lynn was sitting at the table diagonally opposite her in that little tavern, but at the time she thought he was just an ordinary person and didn't pay any attention. Thinking about it now, it's quite amusing that she managed to brush past a wizard apprentice in that kind of environment.

Dempsey stood behind Antina, his gaze complex as he looked at Lynn in the distance, who seemed like the Grim Reaper, reaping the lives of those noble wizard apprentices.

He knew many of the noble wizard apprentices. As one of the three knights of the Duchy of Azalea, he was a servant of the Azalea family, but he held a very high position. He had followed the current Duke of Azalea since childhood, and even some minor nobles treated him with great respect.

He had met many of those noble wizard apprentices. During the months he spent in Bangor Harbor, many noble wizard apprentices visited the young lady. Because of their status as wizards, even if they were just apprentices, these people were full of pride in their words.

Although Dempsey didn't know much about the wizarding world, he had come to understand one thing over the years—pride is one's enemy.

As expected, these noble wizard apprentices ultimately paid the price for their pride.

"That short-sighted idiot." Anushek's face darkened, and he clenched his fists.

Hans had actually mentioned to him a long time ago his idea of ​​seizing Lynn's wealth and knowledge, but he sternly rejected it at the time because he felt it was not worth offending a promising wizard apprentice for such a small gain.

It would be better to befriend Lynn; you'll reap more benefits in the future.

As a member of the royal family with wizarding talent, he received the best education in the kingdom from a young age. From the beginning, he was destined to board this ship and come to this world that was completely different from the kingdom. The royal family demanded and trained him according to the standards of a true wizard from childhood.

If Lynn were to be lucky enough to become a formal wizard, he might even ask the royal family to grant Lynn's descendants a noble title in order to gain Lynn's friendship.

According to Anusheh, this is how the Golden Lion Duke obtained his title. The Golden Lion Duke was not a nobleman at the beginning of the kingdom's founding, and he did not even make any great contributions. Therefore, there are very few records of the Golden Lion Duke in the kingdom's chronicles.

But the Golden Lion Duke family produced an amazing genius, a truly great figure.

Therefore, a large portion of the western part of the kingdom was granted to the descendant of that genius, supposedly in order to win him over.

Lynn must have something special to gain the favor of the wizard Harlem and become his assistant; he must have more potential than the average wizard apprentice.

Although many people boarded the ship, Anusheh knew that most of the wizarding apprentices here would probably remain wizarding apprentices for their entire lives.

They will never have the chance to become real wizards; the fate of the vast majority of them is nothing more than striving to become real wizards.

Anushikh knows how to befriend whom and who is simply using the relationship.

But all of this was ruined by that idiot Hans.

Anushek coldly stared at Hans's corpse, then shifted his gaze to the other noble wizard apprentices of the Kingdom of Erdoru who were being slaughtered.

He knew he had to step forward; a loose alliance had long been formed between the noble wizard apprentices and noble wizards from the Kingdom of Erdoru.

His status dictates that he must protect this group; otherwise, watching the group's fresh blood being wantonly slaughtered by an outsider, regardless of the reason, would greatly affect the credibility and prestige of their royal family. He would not hesitate to offend a genius who might have the potential to become a wizard in the future.

Anushekh took out a pine wood staff with gold trim from his pocket, raised it, and pointed it at Lynn, who was not far away.

He decided to let both sides calm down and then resolve the matter slowly. If it really couldn't be resolved, a cold glint appeared in Anushek's eyes.

Lynn tensed up, sensing danger in his mind. Turning his head, he saw Anushikh pointing his staff at him from the crowd.

Looking at the grayish-white mist condensing at the tip of Anusheh's staff, Lynn recognized the spell as the zero-ring spell, Sleeping Curse.

"Sleeping Curse"

Lynn also knew about the Sleeping Curse. He wasn't sure if his wizard's robes could withstand such a spell. He could block elemental spells of the Evocation school, but the Sleeping Curse didn't seem to have any direct offensive power. If his wizard's robes malfunctioned and failed to provide protection, that would be troublesome.

However, the Sleeping Spell is not without its weaknesses. Like Lesser Fireball, it is a projectile-oriented spell, and its trajectory cannot be changed after it is cast.

Theoretically speaking, it is possible to dodge it if you are fast enough.

Lynn focused his attention on the sleeping spell, and the instant the spell was cast, he kicked off with the agility of a leopard.

The next moment, Lynn nimbly rolled to the side.

The grayish-white mist brushed past him and disappeared straight into the ground.

The physical prowess Lynn displayed at that moment astonished many of the noble wizards watching; even the physical abilities of extraordinary knights might not be comparable.

"Very strong physical abilities." Dempsey, wearing an eyepatch, said solemnly with his only remaining eye.

This physical ability surpasses that of most knights he knows.

Anusheh looked somewhat surprised when he saw Lynn dodge his spell.

However, his experience was far beyond that of ordinary noble wizard apprentices, and he quickly calmed down.

Lynn was indeed very good at hiding his strengths. Wizards rarely have weaknesses, especially the more powerful the wizard, the fewer weaknesses they have. However, during the wizarding apprentice stage, most apprentices mainly focus on improving their mental strength and magic. It's not that they don't value physical fitness, but rather that their lifespan and energy are limited.

These things will only be considered after becoming a formal wizard and having a longer lifespan.

Seeing Lynn's physical abilities, which were no less than those of a knight, Anushek, whose sneak attack had failed, advised, "Lynn, they were wrong in this matter, but you have already killed Hans enough. He has already paid the price with his life. I hope you can make your subordinates stop. Some of their elders have become official wizards. You don't want to be targeted by official wizards, do you?"

The last sentence carried a subtle threat.

Lynn raised his left hand, and the blood-covered Iron Earthworm suddenly stopped moving, supporting itself on its lower body and standing upright, its chrysanthemum-shaped mouth opening, its sharp serrated teeth exhaling hot air.

Lynn knew that the deal Anglie had given him was not as simple as it seemed.

However, Lynn had anticipated this possibility before taking action.

With so many ancestors who had boarded this ship before, it's impossible that all of these noble wizard apprentices would be stuck at the level of wizard apprentices. There would always be a few lucky ones or those with exceptional talent who would become formal wizards.

By the way, the standard for becoming a formal wizard seems to be...

Lynn recalled the question he had asked the wizard Harlin a month ago.

He remembered Harlin's answer: 100 points of standard mental power, through the ascension ritual of a formal wizard, to transform into a talent spell, possess one's own wizard tower, and a small legion of servants or followers. The minimum standard for the legion was to have a reasonable mix of professions and numbers, and the ability to conquer a regular, ordinary small kingdom on its own. That was the standard for a true formal wizard.

It is precisely because of these many tedious requirements that many third-level wizard apprentices waste their lives at this level.

"I just want to quietly do my daily tasks," Lynn thought to himself, before slamming his left hand down, turning the iron earthworm into a killing machine once more.

But my deal isn't over yet. If I miss this chance to rip off so many of you at once, I'll really lose sleep over it," Lynn said, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

This is the second chapter from yesterday. I've been brainstorming the later settings and plot, and it took me all night to finish it.
