Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

"This...this is a waterfall? My God, this is actually a waterfall? It's way too big!"

"Damn it, why is this waterfall flowing upstream?"

"Am I still living in a dream? Slap me already... Damn it, you actually did!"

The apprentices were stunned by the magnificent spectacle before them.

Grand Knight Baruch walked over and grinned when he saw the apprentices' astonished expressions, like country bumpkins entering the city: "Surprised, aren't you?"

"I felt the same way when I first came here; my jaw almost dropped."

"It was then that I realized how insignificant I was, and how naive and ridiculous those so-called honors and titles of the First Knight of Lolunt and the Guardian of the Kingdom were."

He glanced at the waterfall in front of him, then turned back and said, "Enjoy the breathtaking view, but there's no need to make a fuss about it."

"There are far more spectacular and wondrous sights in the wizarding world than this."

"Sky islands drifting in the sky, an underground world ten thousand meters below, a death desert teeming with monsters, and secret realms with different rules..."

Baruch's words seemed to possess a magical power, each one striking heavily against the apprentices' souls.

Every example he casually mentioned completely overturned the apprentices' previous understanding and exceeded the limits of their imagination.

For a moment, every apprentice present listened with rapt attention.

"Alright, Baruch!"

However, at that moment, a cold voice rang out, interrupting Baruch's narration.

He is an Eton wizard.

He emerged from the cabin, his face hidden in shadow by a large hood.

"Don't waste time, let's go up."

"Yes, sir."

The Eton wizard then turned to the apprentices with an indifferent expression and said, "Go back to your cabins, there's nothing to see here."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

The apprentices went into the cabin one after another.

Simon turned and glanced in the direction he had left, then looked at Lynch and Thorne with a strange expression and asked, "Have you noticed that the Eton Wizard seems a bit odd today?"

Thorne rolled his eyes: "Is it only today? Your reaction time is way too long."

"It's been several days now. He always has a deadpan expression. When you ask him questions, he acts like he doesn't care and is unresponsive, as if someone has offended him."

indeed.

Apart from the slow-witted Simon, the apprentices on the ship all sensed that the Eton wizard had undergone a very noticeable change.

While he wasn't exactly amiable, he was certainly approachable.

I often run into them on the deck. They always respond to the apprentices who come up to say hello with a smile and a friendly chat, and they patiently answer the apprentices' questions.

Occasionally, he would tell one or two short stories from his own experiences, like a wandering bard.

But these past few days I've hardly seen anyone. Even when I do meet them and they greet the apprentices, they just nod coldly, and sometimes they don't even bother to respond.

She exudes an aura that keeps strangers at bay, completely different from when we first met.

Could it be...

What magical innovation was this wizard researching that failed?

It couldn't be that he broke up with his girlfriend, could it?

Lin Qi was also very puzzled.

The Enlightenment slowly made its way towards the waterfall. Just before reaching the bottom of the falls, it slowed down slightly, then accelerated and plunged into the falls.

It began to drift upstream with the current.

Sitting by the window, Lin Qi keenly noticed that the surrounding environment had undergone unusual changes after the ship arrived here.

It is a force field.

The original force field is a normal force field; things will fall from a height, and water will only flow downwards.

However, upon entering this place, a strange energy seemed to appear around, distorting the force field in this area.

不 ...

To be precise, it wasn't distortion, but creation; a new force field was created.

Yes.

Lin Qi could clearly sense that a peculiar force field was covering this area, creating a new force field here.

The objective logic of things still follows from top to bottom within this force field, but the relationship between top and bottom is redefined within this force field.

The sky was defined as below, while the sea surface where they were located was defined as above.

Although the seawater appears to be flowing upwards, it is actually still flowing downwards.

"What a strange phenomenon, how did they manage to do that..."

"This force field..."

"Where did it come from?"

Looking at the upside-down scene outside the window, Lin Qi was also puzzled.

......

After coming up from the Reverse Falls, the Enlightenment continued sailing eastward for more than twenty days until land finally appeared on the boundless sea.

They had finally arrived at their destination, the Wizarding Continent.

"Haha! Land! It's land! Wizarding Continent! Look, we've arrived at Wizarding Continent!"

"We're here! We're here!"

"I can't wait to start learning magic! I can't wait to become a wizard!"

The apprentices stood on the deck, cheering and jumping for joy.

The ship continued to move closer to land, and soon the outline of a dock came into view, at which point the apprentices' cheers reached their climax.

Everyone crowded to the very front of the deck, eager to jump.

Lynch also gathered here.

However, at this moment, his brows furrowed slightly without his noticing, and a hint of doubt appeared between his brows.

This is because he suddenly smelled a very unique scent.

That is...

The smell of blood.

And it is...

The smell of human blood.

Knights possess extremely keen senses, and Lin Qi, having experienced carnage and seen numerous corpses in the war-torn Southern Territory, was certain he wouldn't make a mistake in his judgment.

Why does this place smell like human blood?

Lin Qi felt a vague sense of unease.

As the ship approached the dock, the smell became increasingly strong.

At this point, not only Lin Qi, but also the other apprentices on the deck could smell the aroma.

The cheers abruptly stopped, and everyone looked puzzled.

The knights had appeared on the deck. They were silent, their expressions cold as they stared ahead, gripping their cross swords and silently preparing for battle.

His face showed no particular expression, as if it were commonplace.

The ship continued forward, and the piers on the dock were now clearly visible.

By this time, everyone finally knew the source of the bloody smell.

It's a corpse.

Corpses lay scattered on the dock, most of them badly mutilated, with broken arms and legs, or even torn to pieces.

The overflowing blood flowed down the bridge piers and onto the sea, turning the seawater bright red.
