Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

In a forest near Wallenberg.

A clear stream meanders through the forest, its banks lined with colorful wildflowers and fertile lawns.

Sunlight streamed through the treetops, creating beams of light that crisscrossed in the air.

Lynch and Margaret walked side by side in the forest.

Although it was just a typical aristocratic political marriage, the basic procedures still had to be followed. After lunch, Baron Barack suggested that the two of them go for a walk.

Lin Qi casually bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it into the nearby stream with a "plop".

He turned his head and introduced the forest to Margaret naturally, saying, "Miss Margaret, this forest is the quietest place in the Valen Territory. Not many people come here on weekdays, so it's a good place to relax."

Unlike Lynch's poised and confident demeanor, this noblewoman appeared shy and bashful, much like most girls her age.

Hearing Lynch bring up the topic, he simply went along with it, saying, "Yes, yes, it's beautiful here, even quieter than the forests of Hollenfield Territory..."

As she said this, she secretly glanced at Lin Qi again.

Before coming here, he didn't know much about the new lord of Wallenberg. He only heard that he hadn't received much knightly training and was somewhat thin.

At the time, she was worried that he was sickly and lacked masculinity, and was a spineless coward.

But after meeting her in person, she realized that the rumors were completely wrong.

The man in front of him, Lin Qi, was not exactly burly, but he was certainly not thin either. He had a well-proportioned and muscular build, and a white shirt was stretched taut over his body, through which one could vaguely see his broad chest.

Coupled with his handsome face and jewel-like eyes, he exudes masculine charm from head to toe.

Margaret found that even just looking into his eyes made her heart race and she couldn't breathe.

Lin Qi glanced at him and suddenly said, "Wait here for me for a moment."

Before Margaret could answer, he strode into the forest, only to return shortly afterward.

And now he has a colorful bouquet in his hand.

Lynch smiled and handed the bouquet to Margaret: "These are rainbow flowers that only Wallenberg has. Only a beautiful bouquet can complement the beauty of a lovely lady."

Margaret accepted the bouquet in a daze, her cheeks flushing even more, and her gaze becoming even more unfocused.

After a moment of silence, she stared at the flowers in her hand and murmured to herself, "I really don't know... how to thank you for your praise... and for the flowers... they are so beautiful."

At this point, as if remembering something, she suddenly looked up and said, "I will definitely ask my father to prepare a large dowry!"

Well...

They're so easy to fool...

Lin Qi smiled and said, "There's no need to make things difficult for you, Miss. The Valen Territory lacks nothing except a mistress."

She had no control over the dowry in aristocratic marriages.

What to take and what benefits to exchange should be decided through discussions between the two families.

At this point, he abruptly changed the subject, steer the conversation elsewhere: "The kingdom has been in chaos lately, with war raging in the north, and I've heard the Asdok people in the south are also stirring. How is things on the riverbank?"

Since the start of the war, the situation in the kingdom has escalated, and everyone from royalty and nobility to commoners and slaves has been paying close attention.

A hint of worry crept into Margaret's eyes: "The Riverfront Territory is doing alright for now, but we've heard reports of Asdok people appearing in several border towns...and quite a few young girls have been abducted..."

She sighed, "I'm afraid to go out just anywhere now..."

Lin Qi frowned slightly.

Riverfront Territory occupies a strategic position in the south of the kingdom, and the Asdok people frequent that area, mostly for preliminary reconnaissance.

These guys seem determined to hack in...

The pace of improving our strength needs to be accelerated...

Lynch was deeply worried.

...

After discussing the wedding details, Margaret left with her father, and the wedding date was set for a few months later.

After seeing Margaret and her father off, the old butler Cliff wanted to come and discuss some related matters with Lynch, but Lynch dismissed him with the words that he had the full authority to handle it.

This was no big deal for Lynch; he had more important things to deal with right now.

Just as he and Margaret returned from the forest that afternoon, he heard a crisp system notification:

【Knight's Flower, matured (ready to be picked)】

[Territory Experience +20]

The first batch of Knight Flowers have finally ripened!

......

A desolate wasteland of bones, a place of rest.

With one foot firmly planted on the hard ground of the Land of Rest, Lin Qi, who had just emerged from the portal, looked ahead.

After more than a month of dedicated work, this once desolate place has undergone tremendous changes.

The original simple and dilapidated shacks have disappeared, replaced by a reinforced stone house with thick walls and sharp edges, standing firmly on the wasteland, adding a sense of stability and solidity.

The stone house is surrounded by neatly cultivated field ridges, covering an area of ​​nearly one acre.

The fields are no longer barren wastelands of bones and yellow sand, but lush and thriving knight flowers.

Neatly arranged and full of life, they added a vibrant and strange touch to this usually gloomy land of the dead.

Territory Level: lv2.

Over the past month, planting and cultivating fields and planting Knight's Flowers has raised Lynch's territory level to level 2.

The main change in the level 2 territory is the territory size, which has now increased to a diameter of 500 meters.

The development of the Resting Land has basically reached its limit. To continue developing, it must expand outwards, occupying resource points and mining.

With mineral resources, more new buildings can be constructed.

Once the matter concerning the Knight Flower was settled, Lin Qi prepared to move on to the next step.

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Lin Qi stepped onto the ridge between the fields, his gaze falling on the rows of ripe knight flowers before him, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

He immediately took out a sickle from his backpack, gently and carefully picked a flower, and casually put it into his mouth to chew it gently.

The moment the flower touched the mouth, a cool and pure strange energy surged into the body through the throat.

A gentle warmth instantly spread through my limbs and bones, and the strength that had been expended in the past few days flowed back like a tide, giving me a refreshing feeling.

Lin Qi's face immediately lit up with joy.

"It truly is a fine product; no wonder all the nobles are so eager to acquire it!"

The effects we're seeing now are merely the most insignificant of the Knight's Flower's uses; its applications extend far beyond simply replenishing stamina...

This wondrous flower must be cultivated in conjunction with another core element of the knight's skill in order to unleash its true value.

That is the essential foundation upon which all nobles establish themselves in the world and achieve chivalry—

Knight's Breathing Technique.
