I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 9 Departure (Part 1)

When Lynn left the Red Leaf Inn, he had a deerskin bag in his hand. The bag swayed slightly as he carried it, and it was filled with silver coins, a total of one hundred and eighty-five.

A deposit of 55 coins was paid, and the remaining 37 coins will be paid upon arrival at the destination.

They sold six fire spears, and still have ten fire spears left.

Based on the price of forty silver coins, this is equivalent to a "huge sum" of four hundred silver coins.

Of course, this was a huge sum of money for ordinary people. For nobles and wealthy merchants, four hundred silver coins were nothing. Sometimes, a lavish dinner would cost more than that.

Back on the mountain, Lynn arranged a room for Lauren.

Then, back in her room, Lynn tidied up her things.

In fact, there wasn't much to pack.

Besides a few pieces of clothing and a black package containing the clothes, the money bag was placed inside the package.

Lynn lit a candle and continued reading the diary that his teacher, Anglie, had given him.

Lynn learned a lot from this book.

Furthermore, there is a progress bar following the section on mutation studies.

Although the progress bar was temporarily stuck at 2% and had not increased, Lynn understood that it was because the knowledge he had learned was not enough to turn 2% into 3%.

The feeling of having progress indicators for this kind of learning is really subtle, and it makes Lynn look forward to learning.

After watching for a while, Lynn extinguished the candle and lay down on the bed to rest.

I was busy all night and even went to town.

I went back to read for a while, and it was already quite late.

the next morning.

Lynn got up to prepare breakfast.

"Teacher Anglie."

Lynn heard footsteps behind him, turned around, and saw that it was his teacher, Anglie.

Anglie woke up earlier today.

She looks good.

Hearing Lynn's greeting, Anglie simply nodded and walked past Lynn.

Then Lynn saw Anglie walk toward the corridor where the materials were being held.

Turning her gaze away, Lynn knew that some things were not for her to meddle in.

Shortly after, screams came from inside.

Lynn's eyelids twitched violently, and her hand trembled slightly as she stirred the soup pot.

Lauren stood in the corner of the kitchen, her tail swaying slightly, her head bowed, her eyes filled with fear.

Taking a deep breath, Lynn composed himself and continued cooking calmly. He had cooked all the food in the kitchen that morning, making a whole big pot.

They prepared a hearty breakfast, also thinking of it as the last meal for these imprisoned prisoners.

It seems unnecessary now.

Anglie returned to the kitchen, his body reeking of blood.

"Teacher, the carriage has been arranged and is on the main road a little ahead at the foot of the mountain," Lynn said.

"Hmm." Anglie nodded lightly.

"Teacher, I've also spoken with the hotel owner. They'll prepare food for the journey. I gave them extra money so they can prepare as good food as possible," Lynn said.

"You can arrange these things," Anglie said, seemingly unconcerned about them.

After breakfast, Lynn entered the laboratory and found that the experimental equipment inside had already been put away.

He was wearing a simple black cloak with gold trim, over which was a simple black velvet satin long-sleeved top. There was nothing covering him, and he didn't have any luggage. Lynn knew that his teacher had a spatial device.

Those experimental instruments in the laboratory must have already been put into the space device by the teacher.

As Lynn walked down the corridor, he glanced into the depths of the corridor.

The corridor was quiet, and all the room doors were open.

A faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

Looking into the innermost room, Lynn noticed that the door to that room was also open.

But when the teacher came over just now, there was nothing following behind her.

Lynn felt a chill run down his spine.

In Anglie's eyes, human lives are just numbers.

Lynn glanced back at the empty, quiet corridor, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

"Don't waste this food," Lynn said to Lauren, who was squatting on the ground.

Lauren squatted on the ground, his long tail behind him acting like a balancer or a bench. The thick, scaly tail extended from behind him to the ground, supporting his body.

"Let's finish this food." Lynn poured the soup and porridge from the bucket into a bowl, and Lauren picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Then smack your lips.

It even stuck out its dark green tongue to lick the soup off the corners of its mouth.

Lynn glanced at Lauren, then at the half-full iron bucket, and decided that scooping the bucket into the bowl one ladle at a time was unnecessary, so he simply handed the bucket to Lauren.

"Just drink it."

Lauren picked up the bucket and initially ate with a spoon.

But later I found that this seemed inconvenient.

He just picked up the iron bucket and gulped it down.

Food rushed into his throat, and Lynn watched as Lauren's neck swelled up to almost twice its normal size. It seemed that Lauren's body had undergone some changes after becoming a lizardman—including its appetite.

"My master's cooking skills are amazing."

Lauren finished her food and touched her slightly protruding belly.

"Complete the daily task: Cooking (Part 1) Cook a whole pot of food."

"Completion level: Satisfactory."

"Reward: 5 general experience points."

A message flashed across the corner of my eye.

Lynn nodded imperceptibly, "As long as you can eat it."

However, Lynn glanced at Lauren and sensed that something was amiss.

This guy seems to be turning into a glutton.

Along the way, it was unclear whether the food Ted provided was enough for him.

Well, lizards are cold-blooded reptiles, and they are quite resistant to hunger.

I wonder if Lauren inherited this talent.

Anglie had already gone up from the basement.

Lynn glanced at the kitchen, thinking of packing up some things to take with her.

But after looking at it again and again, I felt like there wasn't anything worth bringing.

After all, they weren't anything of great value.

Once you arrive at the new place, you can easily acquire some new items.

I took another look at the place where they cultivate magic potions.

Lynn discovered that the magical purple phoenix flowers cultivated here had already been taken away by the teacher.

Well, it seems the magical items have already been taken away by the teacher.

"Let's go," Lynn said.

Lauren followed behind Lynn.

Suddenly, Lauren grabbed Lynn's shoulder.

"Master, be careful. I feel like something is watching us."

Lauren began to speak.

Lynn squinted and stopped in her tracks.

In the quiet hallway, on the spiraling staircase, only the candlelight on the walls burned dimly.

As he watched, Lynn noticed something was amiss.

Because the candlelight was burning, the orange light illuminated the walls of the building.

Light and shadow cut through the space, but at the corner, a huge shadow seemed out of place.

There was nothing there, but a huge shadow was blocking the view.

There was something unseen blocking the corner of the stairwell.

Lynn's heart skipped a beat.

The shadow slowly writhed.

The shadow gradually moved from the corner of the wall, the light and shadow shifted, and a huge shadow gradually enveloped the area in front of us.

Lauren's body trembled slightly; he was also very scared.

But then he remembered something, gritted his teeth, and mustered the courage to stand in front of Lynn.

"Master, you run first later."

"It's alright, no need."

Lynn guessed what it was.

Right in front of Lynn, on the dark gray wall tiles, the air gradually distorted.

A gigantic head gradually emerged from the air before them, coalescing into a form.

His orange pupils were as big as a fist, covered with fine black lines, and his dark vertical pupils were staring intently at Lynn.

The translucent scales were indistinct, their shapes obscured by a multitude of colors.

The dark red core pulsed in and out, as if trying to discern the scent on Lynn's body.

After staring for a few seconds, the enormous head in front of me slowly shrank back.

The color of the scales gradually blends into the surrounding environment.

And just like that, right in front of Lynn, they gradually disappeared from sight.

The shadows on the wall moved slowly, and the light on the wall returned to normal.

"What is that? It's a monster, isn't it?" Lauren stammered, her tail swaying slightly behind her.

Lynn's lips twitched; he felt that the scene before him was somewhat discordant.

When you say this, please don't wag your tail so fast, okay?
