I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World

Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Lynn closed the attribute panel and was about to take a walk. He planned to visit the bookstore to check if there were any new books. Just as he was about to leave, Lauren hurried over.

“Master, someone killed our goblin who was delivering goods. The shipment we had prepared for the buyer was also stolen.”

The goblin had been killed? Lynn’s expression remained unchanged. “Have you figured out who did it?”

“No, but there were signs of a struggle at the scene.”

The goblin he had sent was a goblin wanderer, known for their agility and speed. It was rare for them to run into trouble. This particular goblin was one of his followers, a registered resident of Demon City, where fighting among residents was prohibited.

“Signs of a struggle indicate that the assailant was stronger than the goblin wanderer but not by much,” Lynn mused aloud.

In Demon City, followers enjoyed protective rights. If a follower was killed without provocation, their master had the right to seek justice. This protection was one reason why many out-of-town wizard apprentices were eager to obtain formal residency status in Demon City.

Lynn pondered for a moment. Having no leads didn’t mean there was no way to find the mastermind. After all, this was a world of wizards. If the assailant hadn’t used an artifact to conceal their actions, a divination wizard could easily provide clues.

However, hiring a divination wizard costs money. Fortunately, Lynn had a method that wouldn’t cost him anything.

“Keep an eye on things. Have the experiments in the laboratory put on hold and ensure the place is secure. I’ll be back soon,” Lynn instructed before heading out to the service hall.

“It’s been a while since you last visited,” Toby remarked with a teasing tone.

“I’ve been busy,” Lynn replied with a smile.

Toby waved dismissively. “No worries, I get it. You wizards are always busy. So, what brings you here?”

“Can’t I visit without a reason?” Lynn feigned surprise.

Toby chuckled, pointing at Lynn. “Alright then, but don’t ask me for help later.”

Lynn just smiled, not responding, and sat down in the chair opposite Toby. He opened the tea box on the table, only to find it empty.

“Where’s that tea I had last time?” Lynn inquired.

“The tea you mentioned last time was quite interesting. I got some tea trees from a friend in the Abyss. The leaves made a decent brew, but a couple of old friends visited recently and took the lot,” Toby said, shaking his head.

Toby suddenly fixed his gaze on Lynn. “Your mental strength should have reached the minimum standard for a first-level wizard by now, right?”

“You’ve got sharp eyes,” Lynn replied.

“Save the flattery. My abilities are related to the soul, which is why I can sense your progress,” Toby said.

“You’ve advanced quickly. How’s the source material collection for your wizard tower going?” Toby asked.

“I’ve gathered some, but I feel it’s still not perfect,” Lynn responded.

Over the past few years, most of the magic stones he earned were basically spent on auxiliary materials, which were also quite costly. Although individually cheaper than core materials, their collective cost was significant. Lynn had used nearly all his magic stones to pair the six core materials he had collected with the necessary auxiliary materials.

If he wanted, he could build a simple wizard tower now. But Lynn’s ambitions were higher. He didn’t want to settle for a mere fortress without attack capabilities. He wanted his wizard tower to be as perfect as possible.

After all the effort it took to construct a wizard tower, was he really content to create nothing more than a flying fortress devoid of any attack capabilities? Naturally, Lynn desired his wizard tower to be as perfect as possible in every aspect.

“I have a source material you might need,” Toby suddenly said.

“For what purpose?” Lynn asked.

“It’s attack-oriented. It’s from the Abyss, easy to enhance and use. You should have the raw materials for an Abyss Forge by now. This source material, combined with the forge, will significantly increase its power,” Toby explained.

“Uncle Toby, are you just giving it to me?” Lynn inquired.

“Not for free. According to you wizards, everything has value. I can’t just give it to you, but the task isn’t necessarily difficult. It could be an opportunity for you, depending on whether you’re willing to take it,” Toby said with a meaningful smile.

“Please, go ahead,” Lynn urged.

“Go for a trip to the Abyss Market and buy something from the administrator there,” Toby said.

Lynn’s expression changed slightly. It had been nearly ten years since the last Abyss Market, and it was about to open again.

It just so happened that Lynn had previously arranged with the fly demon to cooperate and trade in the future.

“The administrator in the Abyss is a stationed wizard. He has been there for years and possesses many collectibles, some of which he doesn’t even know the value of. I need you to buy a piece of pink crystal from him,” Toby said.

“Will he sell it?” Lynn was worried that the administrator might refuse to sell or demand an exorbitant price.

After all, these were the belongings of an official wizard. Anything in their collection was bound to be extraordinary, and expensive for a wizard apprentice.

“He will sell it,” Toby assured.

“And the price won’t be too high. These items, whose value he doesn’t know, range from valuable treasures to mere trinkets. Regardless, everything can be bought for a thousand magic stones each. If you trust your judgment, you can buy more items from him,” Toby explained.

“I’ll do my best,” Lynn nodded.

“Alright, let me give you the source material first,” Toby said. With a touch of his fingertip, a golden spark appeared in the air, expanding into a circle.

Toby reached into the circle and quickly pulled out an object.

He placed a bone that resembled a horn on the table.

The broken horn floated in midair.

The surrounding air distorted, and faint black shadows writhed around the horn.

As Lynn stared at the bone, he felt his entire body weaken, as if his soul was being drawn out.

He quickly looked away, shocked. What kind of object was this? Even with his current mental strength, just one glance nearly pulled his soul out.

An ordinary person would likely have their soul sucked away with a single look.

“This is the Dalfyn’s Evil Horn,” Toby said. “Also known as the broken horn of the Abyss Primordial Wolf Demon.”

“You can use it to create an attack sector. It can absorb energy and release powerful beams to annihilate enemies.”

Lynn examined the broken horn. Using legendary or powerful creatures’ organs to create attack sectors was a known practice, leveraging the powers they had in life.

Of course, it wasn’t just about placing it in the wizard tower. It required the integration of runes and magic circles to fully unleash its inherent power.

No wonder Toby said its power could be enhanced with energy from the Abyss Forge.

This horn belonged to a mighty being from the Abyss. He would need to research the identity of this Abyss Primordial Wolf Demon later.
