Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

The completion of the wedding officially marked Lynch's departure from his boyhood and his complete transformation into a qualified lord, with no one able to question his identity as Lord of Valen anymore.

Now that the authority over the territory is no longer in question, Lin Qi can finally do what he wants to do.

Shortly after the wedding, he left the castle, embarking on his first adventure in this strange new world...

Journey.

......

Ouge Port.

This is a seaport located west of the Kingdom of Lolunt, and it is also one of the three largest towns in the Kingdom of Lolunt, with a population of over 300,000.

They belong to the House of Lanchester, the Dukes of the West, one of the four duchies of the kingdom.

As Lin Qi entered Ouge Port, he turned his head and looked around, examining everything he saw like a curious child.

At this point, he could somewhat understand how Granny Liu felt when she visited the Grand View Garden.

Compared to his remote country castle, this place was far more prosperous and bustling.

Along both sides of the street, three- or four-story stone and wood structures stand side by side, their exterior walls painted with various colors of lime, resembling rows of neat building blocks in the sunlight.

The ground floor is all shops.

The aroma of wheat wafted from the bakery, the clanging of hammers echoed from the blacksmith's shop, and the latest gowns from the capital were displayed in the tailor's window, their satin sheen shimmering behind the glass.

Large sacks of pepper and cinnamon were piled up at the entrance of the spice shop, and the air was filled with a spicy and fragrant aroma, quite different from the earthy and livestock smell of Wallenberg.

People come and go on the street.

A noblewoman wearing a fur coat was being escorted by servants as she stepped down from a carriage, her skirt trailing behind her on the stone slabs with a rustling sound.

Sailors dressed in coarse cloth shirts, with anchor-shaped tattoos on their arms, walked into the tavern on the street corner in groups of three or five, the curtain swaying behind them.

Scholars wearing pointed hats, with thick books tucked under their arms, hurried across the square.

"That's really interesting..."

This was the first time Lin Qi had ever wanted to experience the exotic customs of a foreign land since he had traveled through time.

"No rush, let's take care of the important business first."

Shaking his head, Lin Qi pulled himself out of his thoughts. Anyway, he was going to stay in this town for a while according to the plan, so there was no need to rush here.

After asking several passersby for directions, Lin Qi quickly arrived at the central area of ​​Ouge Port.

Here stands a very tall building, six stories high. Unlike the surrounding shops that are crammed together against the walls, it occupies an entire block on its own.

The building's exterior is made of gray-white marble, and huge arched windows extend from the second floor to the fourth floor, with cast iron frames inlaid with stained glass.

In front of the main gate is a wide stone staircase, with a thick stone pillar on each side of the staircase, and a triangular gable on top of the pillar.

Several young people in long robes sat on the stone steps; some were reading, while others were talking in hushed tones.

Directly in front of the stone steps, in the small square that was shining in the sunlight, stood a stone statue.

It was a statue of an old man, wearing a robe and holding an open book in his hands.

The statue's base is made of black marble, and a line of text is engraved on the front of the base, the gilded strokes gleaming in the sunlight:

"Knowledge is the most powerful force in the world; it will help us find the eternal truth."

Oh ~

It's quite classy.

Lin Qi suddenly felt like a complete country bumpkin, spending all his time in the castle practicing swordplay.

"Hey~ that handsome guy over there."

As I was looking at it, a cheerful female voice suddenly rang in my ears.

He saw a girl sitting on the stone steps not far away. She was about the same age as him, with blond hair and a row of light freckles on both sides of her nose.

She sat on the stone steps, holding a book in her hand, and looked up at Lin Qi with a smile, saying, "You've been standing there for quite a while now. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lynch walked over, bowed, and asked, "Excuse me, miss, is this the Merris Grand Library?"

"Hehe, quite elegant."

The girl gave an awkward smile: "Yes, this is the Meris Grand Library. Is there anything I can do for you, sir?"

Lynch pulled a letter from his pocket, an introduction letter Colin had written to him: "I am Lynch Warren of Warren Territory, and I wish to study at your esteemed institution. This is a letter that Sir Colin has provided on my behalf."

"So you're a graduate of the College of Science!"

The girl took the letter but didn't open it; she just glanced at it and casually said, "He was summoned back by your lord a long time ago. How is he doing over there?"

Lin Qi nodded: "Not bad, he's in charge of everything in the territory now."

"Your lord is a truly wise lord."

She stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you inside."

"Thank you so much."

"No problem at all... By the way, what's your name again?"

Lynch Warren.

"Is Valen also a member of the Valen family?"

"Yes."

"Jenny, Jenny Schneider."

"It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Jenny."

"I'm not a nobleman. My father was just a tailor. But since you were thrown out of the family, you probably don't have any inheritance rights anyway."

"...well enough."

Jenny laughed and said, "It's alright. There are no commoners or nobles in the Merris Library. Everyone is equal before knowledge."

She paused, then raised her voice slightly and said, "Knowledge matches talent. Study hard here, acquire enough knowledge, and have a few keys. Your lord will value you just the same."

Upon reaching the sixth floor, Jenny pointed to a room at the end of the right corridor and said, "That's the Dean's office, but Lord Merris isn't here right now. His student Thorne is in charge."

"I'll leave you here. You can go on your own. Thorne always has that sour face; I don't want to see him."

"Go and give him the letter, and he will receive you."

Lynch nodded: "Thank you."

Jenny smiled and said, "You're welcome. Go ahead and get your books. We can talk again after you've collected them."

Lin Qi stopped in front of the room at the end of the corridor.

The door was open at the moment, and in the far end of the spacious room was a long table, where a young man of about 17 or 8 years old was sitting.

There were other guests in the room at this time. One of them was an elderly man dressed in a black suit, accompanied by a servant and a guard. He seemed to be a nobleman.

Ok?

This is...

Just then, Lin Qi suddenly noticed the emblem on the old man's sleeve, which was a trident pattern.

The emblem of Poseidon's Spear is even made with gold thread...

The coats of arms of nobles are very particular, with specific distinctions made about which family uses which coat of arms, and which style is used for which rank of noble.

Judging someone's family and status by their coat of arms is a basic skill of a qualified nobleman.

After carefully examining the level of the insignia on the old man's body and considering his age, Lin Qi immediately determined the old man's identity.

Edmund Lanchester.

Duke of Lolunt West, one of the most powerful figures in the entire Kingdom of Lolunt.

This port of Guage is his territory.

However, to Lin Qi's surprise, the esteemed Grand Duke was now sitting very respectfully in his chair, his body slightly hunched over and leaning forward.

His face showed no trace of authority, but rather a slightly ingratiating smile as he looked earnestly at the young man across the table.

"Please introduce yourself, sir. I am Edmund..."

Instead, the young man seemed to be in a superior position. Faced with Edmund's servility, his impatience was written all over his face: "How many times have I told you? The teacher isn't here. Can't you understand human language?"

When the lord was humiliated, none of his guards or servants stepped forward to uphold his dignity; they all stood obediently to the side like idiots.

Even Duke Edmund himself wasn't angry, and continued to shamelessly ask, "When will Lord Meris be able to return?"

Before the young man could answer, Edmund quickly added, "Simon is my son, and he is also studying under Lord Merris."

The young man's expression softened slightly: "Oh, it's Simon. You should have said so earlier."

He paused, showing a little more patience, but that was all: "I don't know exactly when the teacher will be back."

"Here's what we'll do: leave your address, and I'll have someone notify you when the teacher returns."
