I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 90 Wizard Tower (Part 1)

The next morning, Lynn arrived at the service hall very early.

I thought there wouldn't be many people at this time, but when I arrived, it was already packed with people.

The most conspicuous place in the mission hall is a large wall on the right-hand side of the entrance. This should be the mission wall that Anglie mentioned. The entire wall is covered with mission sheets, and apprentices are crowded in front of the mission wall. A succubus walked over with a small stack of sheets, swaying her hips. Lynn recognized her as the succubus who had just received him yesterday.

The succubus tore down all the quests from the quest wall and then pasted the new list on the wall. Lynn pushed his way through the crowd to the very back.

With a physical fitness score of nearly 20, he completely overwhelmed the group of apprentices, easily separating them on both sides.

As the succubus prepared to leave, she saw Lynn's familiar face, smiled slightly at him, and waved as a greeting.

The separated apprentices grumbled and cursed, but this was the service hall, and no one dared to cast spells here. Those who did have basically become fertilizer for the magic plant garden.

Lynn quickly scanned the tasks.

"Acquire 10 good quality Blue Silver Grass plants", "Purchase two beautiful elven slaves (gender not limited)", "Necromancer needed to assist in experiments", "Acquire poison potions".

The tasks are diverse and come in all types, but most of them require you to buy something.

The rewards are varied and unpredictable; some rewards are materials, while others are magic stones.

Lynn thought for a moment and asked the receptionist to let her see Toby.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Toby doesn't have an appointment today," the receptionist, an elf girl, replied gently, blinking her bright, sparkling eyes.

Lynn took out the business card Toby had given him from her ring.

Upon seeing the business card, the elf girl immediately changed her tune, saying, "Please wait a moment."

Then he picked up a conch-shaped tool from the table, held it to his ear, and quickly replied to Lynn, "Lord Toby is out on business. Is tonight alright?"

"Sure," Lynn said. It wasn't anything important anyway; he just wanted to ask Toby about information related to the Wizard Tower.

"Friend, you look unfamiliar. You must be new here and don't know your surroundings well. Is there anything I can help you with?" A short, stout wizard approached, followed by a black-haired wizard.

"My name is Jim, you can just call me Honest Jim," said the short, stout wizard.

"Lynn," Lynn said.

"Wizard Lynn, I've been in Demon City for thirty years. I know every alleyway here, big and small. You might not be familiar with the area since you're new here. Let us go over there and give you a detailed introduction. Don't worry, it won't cost anything," Jim said, patting his chest.

The companion next to him was initially a little puzzled as to why his good friend had become so enthusiastic, and even called himself honest Jim. Everyone knows that Jim's nickname is "the stingy miser".

Then he suddenly realized something and looked at Lynn with a burning gaze.

Lynn said, "Let's go to the lounge inside and talk."

He remembered that the lounge inside was a place where apprentices from the Abyss Wizarding Academy could rest.

As for going outside, forget it. You don't know anyone there, and it would be ridiculous if you got tricked in an alley.

He walked all the way from his hometown to here, only to be ambushed and beaten in the alley the very next day.

"Uh, my friend and I aren't allowed in the lounge," Jim said awkwardly.

"Aren't you apprentices too?" Lynn's gaze fell on the wizard robes worn by Jim and his companion. Were these two not wizard apprentices?

“We are apprentices, but not wizards from the Abyss Wizarding Academy,” Jim said.

Lynn pondered for a moment, then understood.

"Is this the place right beneath our feet, the Demon Castle?"

"That's right, many people like to call this place the City of Demons, because it's the closest place on the Wizarding Continent to the Abyss and demons," Jim said.

"Are there many apprentices from the Abyss Wizarding Academy in Demon City?" Lynn asked.

"There are quite a few. Every year, there are apprentices coming to Demon City through various channels. Unlike some wizarding forces outside that recruit students on a fixed schedule every year, Demon City recruits apprentices and wizards for all 13 months of the year. However, the requirements are quite strict, and many people cannot meet the standards," Jim said. "Those who can enter the Abyss Wizarding Academy are all wizarding apprentices with good talent, and many of them come with skills already acquired. There are very few pure newcomers who have just come into contact with wizarding."

"Lynn the Wizard, you're not a newbie to wizarding, are you?" Jim said.

Lynn shook her head, her expression unreadable.

"So those third-level apprentices who have the potential to become official wizards rarely show up. They basically all have their own circles. When they go out, it's either to collect experimental materials or because they've run out of inspiration and hit a bottleneck and need more knowledge. Wizards spend most of their time studying and researching, so those who wander around outside every day are basically apprentices like us who aren't particularly talented but are still working hard," Jim said regretfully.

Lynn looked to the side and saw that the hall was crowded with apprentices, who were gathered around the task wall like temporary workers waiting to be hired.

Some apprentices wore torn wizard robes, which they simply mended and continued to wear. Others, with white beards, held spellbooks and whispered discussions with younger, more youthful-looking apprentices beside them.

Others, in groups of two or three, would take on a task to gather materials and leave the hall in a hurry.

"There are many foreign wizard apprentices like us in Demon City. These apprentices are all looking for opportunities to break through to become formal wizards. After all, the Abyss Wizard Academy is a powerful force, and there are definitely more opportunities here than in other places. There are also some people who want to try to enter the Abyss Wizard Academy." Jim coughed twice.

"I have good connections. If you need any magical materials, I can help you find them through my channels. If you have anything you want to sell, I can also help you contact suitable buyers."

"Do you know anyone who builds buildings?" Lynn asked.

"Of course I know them. I have a friend who's in the construction business. The buildings they build are all of very high quality. If you have any special needs, you can tell them. After the experiment is over, they can extract the memory of the construction period to ensure the safety of your building," Jim said.

"There's such a spell?" Lynn thought that spells involving the stripping of memories shouldn't be something an apprentice could learn.

"Of course, but it's not a wizard, it's an earth elemental," Jim said.

Earth element. The ability to extract memories is probably its racial talent.

"How much did your friend charge?"

"It's very cheap, it's based on the building area and complexity you need, but it might be a little more expensive than the market price, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed, and privacy is assured," Jim said.

"That's fine." Lynn nodded. "Could you contact them for me? I'll discuss it with them later."

"Okay, Mr. Lynn, normally there would be a brokerage fee, but since this is your first time being my client, the brokerage fee will be waived this time," Jim said earnestly.

"Okay." Lynn nodded, and Jim turned and left.

Seeing that Lynn and Jim's conversation had come to a temporary end, the black-haired wizard who had been standing next to them quickly spoke up: "Hello, Mr. Lynn, my name is Lister, I am a potion master, and I know how to make many basic magical potions."

Potion-making is not an obscure discipline; many wizards make magical potions.

"I'll contact you if I need anything," Lynn said.

In the mortal world, many people say that wizards can basically concoct a pot of strange, bubbling green liquid.

Magical potions have many functions, such as healing, poisoning, functional, and explosive effects.

"I'm not selling my medicine; I hope to become your follower," Lister said.

"Followers?"

"Yes, I'm thirty-eight years old this year, and I've only just barely become a second-level wizard apprentice. If I don't have the opportunity, I might never become a full-fledged wizard in my life, and then I should try to hold a conversion ritual to extend my lifespan," Lister said with a wry smile.

"I can't help you become a full-fledged wizard either," Lynn refused.

"You definitely can in the future," Lister said.

"You trust me that much? We've only just met."

"This is indeed our first meeting, but I've known Jim for five years, and I trust his judgment," Lister said earnestly.

"Jim is a broker. He knows many people in the Demon City and has extensive resources. He has met other apprentices from the Abyss Wizarding Academy before, but none of them have treated you with the same respect as this time."

Lynn thought for a moment and guessed that it was probably because the wizard Harlin brought him here yesterday, and that Jim might have seen him when Toby, the administrator of the service hall, escorted him out.

Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what he, an ordinary wizard apprentice, could be valued for.

"Let me find out more before we talk about it. Anyway, you know Jim, don't you?" Lynn didn't agree directly, giving an ambiguous answer.

"Alright, by the way, Lord Lynn, these are some potions I made, you can check their quality." Lister's spatial ring flashed, and the next moment three bottles of potions appeared in his hand, which he handed to Lynn.

Lynn took the potion and put it back in her spatial ring. "Are you familiar with this place?"

Seeing Lynn put the potion back into his ring without even looking at it closely, Lister paused for a moment, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, but he still forced a smile. "I'm very familiar with this area of ​​the central city. I've been in Demon City for eight years, but Demon City expands every year, so there are some places on the outskirts that I might not be very familiar with."

"Walk with me for a bit." Lynn walked ahead, while Lister lagged behind by half a step.

"Don't be so formal, just treat it as a casual walk between friends." Lynn put her hand on Lister's shoulder.

Sorry to keep you waiting!
