I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World

Chapter 69

Lynn gazed at the Minor Fireball spell that exploded like fireworks not far in front of him.

The Shield spell trembled violently, sending ripples through it more intense than any previous tremor. It seemed that even among zero-ring spells, the Minor Fireball spell ranked high in terms of lethality.

On the ground not far away, the young man with short red hair had just had his neck broken by Mages Hand.

As a sneak attacker, Lynn would never foolishly use the Minor Fireball spell, which is both illuminating and conspicuous. After all, he wasnt preparing to ambush just one person.

Although he had mastered more than a dozen spells, most of them were functional or non-lethal spells. Examples include Bright Magic, Restoration, Touch of Fatigue, Switch, Communication, Light of Darkness, and so on. Even the two one-ring spells he possessed, Terror and Earth Ring, were primarily for restraint and control, with almost zero direct lethality.

Apart from Acid Missile, the only spell that could kill instantly was the Minor Fireball spell, and, in special circumstances, the Mages Hand.

However, Acid Missile wasnt an instant kill, and the strong corrosive damage from the spell would undoubtedly elicit screams from the victim that could wake others.

Therefore, Lynn used the Mages Hand, covering the victims head with a giant hand, much like twisting a bottle cap.

But where did this Minor Fireball spell came from that hit him instead?

Lynn followed the direction of the Minor Fireball spell.

He saw a familiar face at the end of the alley in the distanceAnousheh.

Anousheh sighed deeply and looked at the Shield spell outside Lynns body with a complex expression.

Defensive magic items that could automatically activate the defensive Shield spell were very precious, especially for wizards at the apprentice level like them.

Even he didnt possess such a valuable treasure.

This type of defensive magic item could protect one in many critical moments.

Did you guess I would come back? Lynn remarked.

I couldnt be entirely certain, your decisive style of action just made me somewhat prepared, Anousheh replied, leaning to the side with a magic staff in hand.

Lynn reflected, acknowledging that he had indeed underestimated these nobles.

While they might lack combat experience, having received the kingdoms finest education since childhood, their thinking might be somewhat rigid at times, but fundamentally, they were the kingdoms elite who had received the best education in the current era.

I warned them about the possibility of you returning to attack at night. Some agreed to be cautious, but now it seems that Perlus, that fool, overlooked my words, Anousheh said.

In the beginning, I actually wanted to be friends with you, Anousheh continued, Unfortunately, things often take an unexpected turn.

Behind Anousheh, several wizard apprentices followed him out.

The door of the neighboring room suddenly opened.

Wizard Harin and a handsome, blond wizard stepped out of the house.

Dont cause too much trouble. Its time for everyone to rest. If you disturb a wizard on this street with a bad temper, youll have to bear the consequences yourselves, Diasterdan, following behind Harin, spoke.

This matter ends here, Harin glanced at Diasterdan behind him and said.

Anousheh fell silent. In reality, another noble wizard apprentice had died on their side, but now, with two wizards coming out and declaring the matter over, it seemed to be settled.

Youre not his match. This little guys mental strength has already reached the level of a third-level apprentice, right? Quite impressive talent, Diasterdan chuckled.

A third-level wizard apprentice!?

Anoushehs heart tightened, feeling somewhat bitter. He was only at the level of a second-level wizard apprentice himself, still a small distance away from becoming a third-level wizard apprentice. He had been trained by wizards since childhood.

Using the juice of mugwort-leaves to cleanse his body and promote mental growth, and consuming the best dietary supplement daily.

During the growth process, he underwent various exercises of willpower and received education from teachers in the royal academy.

Even so, he was still far from becoming a third-level wizard apprentice. Stories and rumors he heard since childhood fueled his desire to step onto that ship. The wizard apprentice who had instructed him described that if the Erdolu Kingdom was a barren countryside, then the Wizard Continent was a magnificent and fantastical Demon Kings Castle, full of danger and opportunities.

Only on the Wizard Continent could he receive better and more professional education.

So, he had been preparing for this moment since childhood. Yet, after nearly a decade of effort, the result told him that the mental strength of a commoner wizard was higher than that of a noble wizard who had received specialized education since childhood.

Very well, Lord. Lets put an end to this matter, Anousheh said in a low voice.

Lynns mind racedif he decided to run, Anousheh would have a hard time stopping him. However, now that Wizard Harin had emerged and declared an end to the matter, Lynn pondered whether it referred to tonight or the entire transaction.

Follow me, Wizard Harin said, seemingly sensing Lynns confusion, and walked towards the distance.

After a moment of hesitation, Lynn followed Wizard Harin. A beam of light flashed from Wizard Harins ring, and in the next moment, a metallic building appeared on the empty ground.

The building was square, and there was only one door on the side facing them. Harin entered, and Lynn followed him inside.

The interior was vast, lined with rows of bookshelves, each holding numerous books. The corridors between the shelves extended far into the distance.

Seeing so many books, Lynn couldnt help but widen his eyes.

Many of these are not magical books. They were gifts from humans in another plane after I helped them repel demons. They include a lot of local customs, humanities, and geography. However, they serve well to fill the shelves, Harin explained.

Lynn, thinking about the demon lord named Sarth who had revealed secrets to him, suddenly felt that Harins mention of repelling demons might not be so serious.

Our transaction is concluded, Harin stated.

Huh? Although Lynn had some guesses, hearing Harin say these words still left him puzzled.

A trade should be fair, Harin explained. I guided you onto the path of a wizard, and in return, you eliminate some people for me. Thats the mutual agreement between us.

But just now, Diasterdan also made a deal with me, the blond wizard you saw. One of the side deals was to ensure Andinas safety, Harin calmly recounted. So, there was a conflict between the two transactions.

Lynn remained silent for a moment. I can spare her life separately.

No, a deal is a deal, and theres no room for mid-course changes, Harin looked at Lynn. You must remember thiswhen the chips of a trade are placed on the scales, any movement of the chips will tilt the balance.

Harin spread his hands.

So our transaction concludes, but of course, its just our personal deal. As for any other decisions you make, thats none of my concern.

Lynn fell silent for a moment, then nodded. I understand.

However, let me offer you a friendly piece of advice. Among the people you killed, some of their elders have become official wizards. Although the blood ties between them span countless generations, and the kinship is thinner than clear broth, they are still their descendants. Your conspicuous actions in public may attract the attention of someone who values their reputation, and they might cause trouble for you. Or, there might be more wizard apprentices trying to please them and thus target you.

So, I suggest you consider coming to the Abyss Wizard Academy. The atmosphere here is different from most other wizard academies. Once you experience it, youll understand, Harin advised.

But that was a great opportunity, Lynn remarked.

I know. If I were in your shoes, I might have made the same choice, Harin said, looking at Lynn with appreciation.

If previously it was only because of Lynns innate talent, now it was because of his character that Harin admired. With his personality, it might not take long for him to fit in seamlessly at the Abyss Wizard Academyhe was a natural troublemaker.

The Abyss Wizard Academy needed this kind of talent.
