I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 89 Parting (Part Two)

"Actually, he's always wanted to see you," Harlin said to Lynn. "We're actually the same person, and yet we're not the same person."

"I've been watching your performance all this time. You're not bad. You've risen from an ordinary person to where you are now. You're much luckier than I was back then," Anglie said slowly.

"You've always been curious about our relationship," Harlin said.

"Shut up! Let me speak." Anglie interrupted Harlin, clearly annoyed that Harlin had stolen his words.

"Then tell me," Harlin scoffed, then pushed open the door and went out.

"Ignore that guy," Anglie said. "I'll tell you a story and you'll understand."

One hundred and fifty years ago, in a small village in the Kingdom of Erdoru, there lived a boy who was called the strange Anglie by the villagers.

Because this boy named Anglie often sat alone in a corner talking to himself, and sometimes he would laugh and talk to the air.

The villagers all looked down on him, but only his sister understood him and believed that there really were two people living in his head. She even called them "Big Brother" and "Second Brother".

Later, Anglie, who went up the mountain, accidentally found a copy of the wizard apprentice's legacy.

He was very talented and easily learned the knowledge passed down through generations. He even brought his sister along to learn with him. Unexpectedly, his sister was even more talented than him, and her progress in meditation was much faster.

He was delighted. The brother and sister had agreed to hide the fact that they knew magic, because at that time the kingdom suppressed non-noble superhumans. Women who knew magic were accused of being witches by nobles, and were either forced to serve the nobles or burned alive.

The siblings' legacy records a place called Bangor Harbor, from which one can supposedly board a ship bound for the Wizarding Continent.

For the two siblings who grew up in the village and had only ever been to towns, the Wizarding Continent described in Bangor Harbor was the beautiful place they dreamed of every night.

Finally, the brother and sister arrived at Bangor Port together, and after waiting for three years, they finally boarded the ship.

On the ship, they met a noble wizard apprentice who was witty, knowledgeable, and unlike other noble apprentices, he did not look down on the siblings' commoner background; they treated him as a friend.

But no one expected that this so-called friend would betray Anglie's sister at a crucial moment in order to seize a treasure. Although she survived, Anglie's sister was afflicted with a deadly curse.

To treat his sister, Anglie's two personalities took turns using his body: one attended classes during the day to earn money, and the other studied mutation and curse science at night.

Hearing this, Lynn already knew who the other personality in Anglie's head was, and Lynn couldn't help but turn to look at the closed door.

I never expected that Anglie and Harlin would have this kind of relationship.

Moreover, judging from this, the two of them actually used some method to separate their personalities and create another body separately.

What puzzled him, however, was that, judging from the story told by Anglie, wasn't Anglie the main personality and Harin the secondary personality?

"Compared to my indecisiveness, Harlin is more suited to survive in the wizarding world. Moreover, it was because of my wrong decision that I trusted that person, which led to my sister becoming what she is now," Angre said sadly.

"You have to pay the price for doing something wrong. I warned him from the beginning that the person wasn't a good person, but he just believed in himself, so I turned him into a puppet and made him do all the dirty and hard work." Harlin walked in from outside the door.

"You're right." Anglie smiled.

"And what about her?" Lynn wondered how their sister was doing now, and whether the curse had been lifted.

He thought of the lizard he had last seen. It had been a long time since he had seen it. Could it be his mentor Anglie's sister?

Harlin seemed to have guessed Lynn's thoughts. "It is one of my students. It became like this because of a failed experiment. It loses its mind every once in a while, and then gradually regains its mind after a while. But I have found a solution."

"Anna is still alive, but her condition is not good right now." Harlin's expression turned gloomy as he mentioned this.

"So Instructor Anglie approached me and asked me to kill all the noble apprentices from the Kingdom of Erdoru who boarded the ship," Lynn said, suddenly realizing.

Putting myself in her shoes, if my own sister, whom I depend on for survival, suffered such a fate, I would not only shake the egg yolks to pieces, but I would also dig up the earthworms in the soil and chop them into pieces.

"The last time Diasterdan approached me for cooperation, the plan has temporarily changed, but I won't tell you the specifics. You should know that wizards possess divination and certain methods that can make people reveal their true feelings. Knowing too much isn't a good thing. But you can kill those noble apprentices without any serious consequences," Harlin said.

"Teacher, are there really that many lineages of wizard apprentices?" Lynn asked the question that had been on his mind.

"Of course not many," Anglie shook his head.

"There is a position in the Wizarding Council called the Propagator of Truth," Anglie mentioned another place.

"Wizards seek the truth," Lynn said.

“That’s right. The spreaders of truth scatter the seeds of truth. These seeds fly around like dandelions, seeking out people with wizarding talents and landing in their hands by various coincidences. I received a seed back then as well,” Anglie said.

Lynn suddenly realized, no wonder—

Why did I see so few wizard apprentices in the Kingdom of Erdoru, but so many at the last dock in Bangor Harbor?

These seeds contain information about boarding the ship, and the fleet harvests these germinated seeds every ten years.

Newly acquired wizard apprentices spend most of their time learning and accepting the legacy. They don't venture out unless they are strong enough, and they mostly stay put, so it's rare to encounter them.

Of course, there are all kinds of people in this world. There are also those who go out and roam as soon as they receive the wizarding inheritance. But such people are either recruited by nobles or die in various accidents. A very small number of them can survive, but their situation is probably not good. They basically have to hide and run away.

Because a wizard's strength during the apprentice stage is not exaggerated, a well-prepared army could easily wipe out an apprentice.

The assessment of character is also considered a threshold for wizards to select their offspring.

"Lynn, it's been about a year since we met, on and off," Anglie said.

"441 days," Lynn said.

"I see a part of myself in you," Anglie said with a touch of nostalgia.

"Little Lynn was much more decisive than you back then," Harlin bluntly exposed Anglie.

Anglie said calmly, "That's why I said it's a part of the shadow."

"If only I had been as clever as you are now." Anglie shook his head with a smile.

"I won't dwell on it, lest some guy mock me again."

"I'll give you one last piece of advice: in the wizarding world, you can do anything for resources, but never forget to pursue the truth."

"Keep it up, little one."

Anglie chuckled softly.

"Professor Anglie, may I apply to become your student?" Lynn asked.

Anglie shook his head. "I'm afraid I don't have time. I'll be very busy for the next few years, and if you become my student, it will only delay your studies. I'll keep an eye on the experimental project you're involved in. By the way, there are official wizards coming out to give lectures every day in the outer academy, and each lecture costs one magic stone. The content of the lecture will be announced a week in advance, so you can check it out beforehand."

"Teacher, aren't there any free courses?" Lynn asked, puzzled.

"Yes, there is, but you probably don't need it. Those are free knowledge for beginners. The truly valuable knowledge will be charged for. In fact, the knowledge you can learn with just one magic stone is already very profitable. The academy has already paid for the real value of this knowledge in advance," Anglie said.

"In the service hall, there is also a quest wall, which displays quests issued by the academy or official wizards. The rewards are varied and unpredictable. You should check the rewards before accepting a quest."

By the way, besides the quest wall, there are many other ways to earn magic stones, such as selling potions, assisting in experiments, and selling homemade magical items. But that depends more on your own skills.

"Finally, I've brought your goblin followers over to you. These goblins are very resilient, and the weather in the outer courtyard is always mild, so they'll be fine even if they live in the wild," Anglie said.

Good luck, young man.

Watching Harlin and Anglie's departing figures.

Lynn had mixed feelings. Through getting to know him better, Lynn discovered that Anglist’s coldness was just a facade, or perhaps he had become indifferent to certain things because he had experienced a lot, but deep down he still had a soft spot.

When Lynn came out of the room, he saw a large group of goblins standing busily in the open space outside.

Some goblins were squatting on the ground, idly scratching at the earth, while another goblin next to them hit one of them on the head to tell him not to move.

Cloth and Red Eyes maintained order.

"Master." Red-eyed man rushed over as soon as he saw Lynn come out.

"You can stay here for the night, and I will have someone come and fix up your accommodations tomorrow."

Lynn looked at the two hundred and twenty-three goblins on the open ground. Since he had already brought them and they were valuable, Lynn was not prepared to give them up.

One of the requirements for advancing to the first-level wizard level is to cultivate a legion of followers.

We can start working towards this goal now.

These goblins also have their uses; after all, they are an intelligent race, and many of them have even changed careers to extraordinary professions.

Although he was just a goblin, he was a goblin who had changed to an extraordinary profession.

Moreover, goblins generally have a higher aptitude for alchemy than other races, and Lynn plans to select some of them to become his assistants.

I'll find someone to plan and design my residential area tomorrow, and also find out about the outer courtyard.

Although Anglie had told himself how to survive, there were still many subtle things he hadn't explained clearly.
