Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

March, 1026 (Chinese calendar).

Kingdom of Lolund, Frontier Territory, Wallenberg.

early morning!

The sun rises over the mountains, and its rays gradually climb up the ancient walls of the castle.

And eventually, the light was brought into the training field.

"call!!"

"call!"

"call!"

A sharp whistling sound filled the air, exceptionally clear in the tranquil morning.

On the training field, a young man is sweating profusely while wielding a cross sword.

He looked to be 14 or 5 years old, with black hair, a handsome face, deep brow bones, a straight nose, and tightly pursed lips.

He was rather thin and his movements were clumsy. Every swing of his sword seemed very difficult, clearly indicating that he was a novice who had just entered the training ground.

This is Lynch Warren, the second son of the Warren family, and also the new owner of this castle.

Two months ago, the lord of Wallenberg, Baron Wallen, and his carefully groomed heir died unexpectedly while exploring the Grey Mist Woods.

Lynch Varen, as the second son, became the first in line to the throne according to the Kingdom's Succession Act, inheriting the Domain of Varen and becoming the new Baron Varen.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Qi muttered speechlessly during training, "I never get to have fun, but I have to shoulder the responsibility. What bad luck!"

Lin Qi is actually a time traveler who just arrived from Earth a week ago.

As a visitor from Earth, the concept of time travel is nothing new to Lin Qi, who is also an avid reader of online novels. He has dreamed of traveling to other worlds more than once.

So much so that when he first learned that he had transmigrated, he accepted it without much effort.

He was even happy for a while when he first figured out the era he lived in and his status as a lord.

But his happiness soon faded.

First, let's talk about the historical context. This is an era similar to medieval Europe on Earth, with low productivity, ignorant people, and a feudal system of nobles and slaves.

As a lord, he possessed almost supreme authority within his territory.

He controls life and death, wealth, and even the sexual resources of all men and women in his territory.

Sounds pretty good?

On the surface, it seems alright, but there are also big problems. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

From the basic needs of the people to the maintenance of the family's territory and its honor, he is responsible for all of these.

If this were in a peaceful era, it wouldn't be a problem, but the current situation is turbulent and unstable.

Six months ago, King Henry III of the Kingdom of Lolont died young, and the new king, Charles, was an incompetent fool.

Because the Duke of the North, who was the King's Hand, disagreed with him marrying his daughter as queen, he beheaded the Duke.

That's one of the four most powerful dukes, occupying one-seventh of the kingdom's land!

His actions directly led to a rebellion in the North, plunging the entire kingdom into war.

Meanwhile, with internal turmoil erupting in Lolunt, external enemies also began to stir.

The Asdok people to the south, who have a long-standing feud with the Lolund, have begun to amass military forces on the border, clearly not intending to let this opportunity slip by.

Once the Asdok invades, these noble lords will inevitably be conscripted to the battlefield, not to mention that Valen is located in the south of the kingdom, and there is no way to avoid it.

As a result, Lin Qi, who had just transmigrated, didn't even get a single good day before rushing to the training ground for knight training to hone his martial arts skills.

Even last-minute preparations can be effective; if you don't have grand goals like achieving great feats and protecting your country, at least you'll have some ability to protect yourself.

Two hours have passed.

The sun had fully risen, and the sunlight illuminated the entire training ground.

Lin Qi stood there, leaning on his sword, panting heavily.

Sweat dripped down his chin, leaving a small, dark, damp stain on the stone slab beneath his feet.

"Young Master."

The voice came from behind.

Lynch turned around. The old butler, Cliff, stood at the edge of the training field, holding a copper basin with a neatly folded cloth draped over its opening.

"How long have you been practicing?" He walked over and placed the copper basin on the stone platform.

Lin Qi said, "We arrived just as dawn was breaking."

Old Guan picked up a cloth, soaked it in warm water, wrung it out, and handed it to him: "When your elder brother first entered the training ground, he practiced for less than half an hour before throwing down his sword and running away."

"The next day he absolutely refused to go again, so your father personally dragged him out of bed and threw him into the training field."

He emphasized, "From this point of view alone, you are far superior to him."

"With the Warren family in your hands, you will surely be able to maintain their long-standing glory!"

Cliff had worked for the Warren family his entire life, and the family's legacy was ingrained in his soul; his mind was filled with thoughts of family and honor.

More Valen than anyone in the Valen family.

There was nothing more to say to such a loyal old man. Lin Qi nodded and replied seriously, "I will not let you down."

He paused, then asked, "By the way, how's the Knight's Flower seed thing I asked you to buy coming along?"

Cliff nodded: "As you instructed, I purchased 100 seeds and have already put them in the vault."

Cliff paused, his brow furrowing slightly, and asked with a puzzled look, "But I still don't understand, young master, what is your purpose in purchasing these seeds?"

"As you know, the Valen Territory does not have the conditions to grow the Knight's Flower. Your father and grandfather both tried, but without exception, they all failed."

At this point, regret flickered in the old man's eyes: "If it weren't for that, Lord Baron wouldn't have ventured into the dangerous Graymist Forest based on a rumor, and ultimately..."

Shaking his head, the old man said earnestly, "I understand your desire to become a knight, but... this matter should not be rushed."

骑士！

This is a special profession that exists in this world.

Through special training using unique techniques and precious materials, they gain strength far exceeding that of ordinary humans.

He can split a boulder several meters in diameter in half with a single sword stroke and lift heavy objects weighing tens or hundreds of kilograms with ease, just like Superman.

Lynch's swordsmanship training was part of the knight training program.

But that's not enough; special materials are also needed, namely, Knight's Flower.

This special plant, after being processed using specific methods, can be boiled into a medicinal liquid containing unique energy, known as Knight's Water, which has remarkable effects on assisting knight training.

It is an essential item for advancing to the next level of knighthood.

However, the conditions for growing the Knight's Flower are extremely demanding. It can only survive on special black soil, and only a few noble territories in the entire kingdom possess such black soil.

Lynch's father, Baron Edman, risked his life to lead a group to explore the Misty Forest next to his territory after hearing that there was black soil there, and ultimately perished.

Lin Qi nodded and smiled, "I know what I'm doing, you don't need to worry about me."

After having breakfast, Lynch returned to his room.

After becoming lord, he moved to the top floor of the castle, to the room that originally belonged to his father.

This is a suite with a bedroom, a separate bathroom, a reception room, a separate small room for a personal maid, and a training room.

After a quick wash, Lin Qi went into the adjacent training room.

Upon arriving here, he did not immediately begin his cultivation. Instead, he first ordered that no one should disturb him during his cultivation, and then locked the door.

He then stood in the center of the room, closed his eyes, and seemed to be deep in thought.

A while later, a strange scene unfolded.

"Sizzle..."

A faint sound arose, like the sound of electricity passing through.

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared out of thin air in the space about one step in front of Lin Qi.

The black mist was oval-shaped, about two meters in diameter, and stood silently in front of us, exuding a mysterious aura from the inside out.

As a time traveler from Earth, Lin Qi naturally possesses some kind of cheat code.

His special ability is quite unique.

Yes...

A door.

A portal connecting to another world.

Opening his eyes, Lin Qi calmly looked at the black mist before him, then took a step forward and stepped into it...
