Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

"What happened?"

"How...how terrifying...how did these people...die?"

"what!"

The excitement and exhilaration on the apprentices' faces vanished, replaced by fear and unease.

Everyone's faces turned slightly pale, and some girls covered their mouths.

Lin Qi frowned.

He remained quite calm, but at this moment he also became a little more vigilant.

Are these also apprentices?

Lynch noticed that the corpses lying on the deck were about the same age as them, and some of them had apprentice wands like theirs beside them.

"Eton Wizard".

"My lord wizard, what's going on..."

Just then, the Eton wizard appeared on the deck, and the apprentices swarmed around him.

However, the Eton wizard ignored them, and in a flash, he left the deck, came to the bridge platform, and stood next to the pile of corpses.

There were still quite a few knights gathered on the deck. They seemed to know the Eton wizard and quickly bowed.

"Lord Eaton!"

The Eton wizard's gaze swept over the wrecked bridge, his brow furrowing. "What happened here? Who was in charge of this batch of apprentices?"

"this..."

"We just arrived too...we just arrived..."

"It's still unclear..."

The knights hesitated, their eyes darting around.

Eaton frowned.

"It's the Holman boy."

Fortunately, at that moment, a strong and resonant voice rang out.

Lin Qi saw a man with a somewhat strange appearance walking towards him.

He looked to be around forty years old, with a burly build. He was shirtless, and his skin had an unnatural purplish-black hue, which reminded Lin Qi of the Ryze mage in League of Legends.

The Eton wizard turned his head: "Zacks, who are these apprentices? Were they attacked?"

Zack nodded: "Those filthy rats from the Black Tower attacked them at sea; the wizard ship's shields couldn't hold until we got there."

At this moment, Lin Qi and his companions were descending the gangway lowered by the knight from the deck. Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Qi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Black Tower?

Is it a dark wizard?

Wizards use the term "wizard domain" to define geographical boundaries, and the wizard domain that Lynch and his group have arrived at is called the Land of Twin Towers, located at the southwestern end of the entire wizarding continent.

The two largest wizarding organizations in this wizarding realm, besides the White Tower, are the Black Tower. The two belong to opposing camps and are constantly at odds.

Wizard Eaton frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. The shields on a wizard's ship can withstand even the spells of high-level wizards. Could the Black Tower really send out those second-tier big shots just for a few apprentices?"

Zack shook his head: "It has nothing to do with the shield."

He paused, then explained in detail: "It's that kid from the Holman family, a young man who just became a wizard and is leading a team for the first time, so he doesn't have much experience."

"They got scared by those black rats and ran away, abandoning the wizard ship. You know how ineffective the wizard ship's shield is without the support of the wizard's force field."

The Eton wizard was furious and cursed, "Coward!"

Zack advised, "Forget it, the Holman family has already punished that kid. He's been confined to the Witch Domain for three years and isn't allowed to leave."

Lin Qi was stunned.

That's it?

A house arrest is such a trivial punishment...

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Zack shook his head, then changed the subject, his gaze falling on Lynch and his group of apprentices who had just come down to the deck: "These are the apprentices you brought back this time?"

"The numbers are alright; Ramos's petri dishes are showing better and better growth."

Ramos's petri dish?

Upon hearing this term again, the apprentices all showed expressions of curiosity, after all, it concerned their country and the origins of them as apprentices.

Was it a wizard's experiment? Or what?

The Eton wizard's expression returned somewhat, and he snorted lightly, saying with a hint of smugness, "More than that."

Zack was taken aback. Looking at the Eton wizard's expression, he asked suspiciously, "You old codger... what's with that smug look on your face? Did you bring back some good stuff this time?"

The Eton Wizard nodded and pointed at Lynch: "Lynch, come here."

Lynch was speechless.

Why do we have to drag him out for a spin every time we go somewhere? What is he? A monkey?

Lynch stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Zack the Wizard."

The Eton wizard pointed at Lynch and said succinctly, "This one has superior talent!"

Zack looked at him with surprise: "Not bad luck, kid."

The Eton wizard said, "It's not just that."

He paused, then continued, "He had already embarked on the path of wizardry before that boy Meris found him, purely through some scattered inheritances and by teaching himself magic."

"What?!"

Zack was completely shocked.

His gaze fell on Lynch with surprise, and his eyes revealed the same envy as that of the Eton Wizard.

"What great luck!"

Lynch quickly expressed his humility: "Thank you for your compliment."

Zack curled the corners of his mouth and said in a friendly tone, "Oh, you're a polite lad. Not bad, not bad. I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform in the Wizarding World."

Having said that, he didn't continue the topic and turned to Eaton, saying, "Alright, hurry up and send these apprentices back."

"The fairies in Twilight Forest have been acting strangely lately, like they've gone mad. I've been assigned to investigate. You've come at the perfect time; come with me."

"And the price?"

"This pot of cleansing wine is just to keep you company; I'll handle everything else myself."

"Alright."

Continue on the road.

The dock wasn't large; after walking a short distance, a circular plaza came into view.

The ground was paved with gray-white stone bricks, with intricate and ancient magical runes engraved in the center. Several crystal pillars at the core of the array glowed faintly, and energy flowed slowly like a thin mist between the patterns, leading into the distance.

The Eton Wizard explained simply, "This is a teleportation array. It can traverse thousands of miles in an instant. It was built by the White Tower Wizards at great cost and covers the entire White Tower Wizard Domain."

"Get familiar with it as soon as possible, you'll need it often in the future."

"The White Tower Witch Domain is extremely vast. Even a single forest here is larger than your hometown. Without a teleportation array, you can't go anywhere."

Teleportation array?

Lin Qi's eyes lit up.

This thing also exists in the Land of the Dead, but it can only be unlocked later in the game.

I never expected to be able to experience this in this world ahead of time.

"Alright, everyone, go inside."

The apprentices entered the square, and Eton Wizard walked to the crystal pillar in the center of the square, took out some magic stones and placed them in the groove in the middle, then touched the runes on them a few times.

"Buzz!"

A clear buzzing sound rang out, and the runes covering the square lit up one after another, with ripples of energy spreading outward from the central stone pillar.

Lynch felt the space around him distort, and everything in his field of vision became blurry.

The next second, a blinding white light suddenly shone, covering the field of vision.

The white light vanished in an instant, and when his vision returned, Lin Qi found himself in an unfamiliar place.

Before us lies a valley.

Valleys filled with the strange sights from legends and stories.

The first thing that catches the eye is a commercial street built on the edge of a cliff, with half-timbered houses lined up along the street, their pointed stone roofs covered in moss.

The shop window displays all sorts of strange and wonderful items, including magic potions, crystal balls, wands, and alchemical vessels.

There were also eyeballs soaking in bottles, elephants the size of mice locked in cages, and even some strangely shaped humanoid creatures.

The streets were bustling with people, and wizards in cloaks moved about, some riding brooms or flying carpets over people's heads.

Lynch even saw a wizard riding a canine creature that was seven or eight meters long and glowing blue, leaping across the cliff, leaving long trails of flames in its wake.

Looking into the distance, you can see the entire valley.

Castles, towers, wooden houses, stone houses, treehouses...

All sorts of buildings stand side by side, unfolding like a multi-layered cake as they descend along the cliff.

Several floating islands even drift in the sky.

At the very center of the valley below, in the most central location of this world, stands a very tall white tower.

Lin Qi didn't know exactly how tall the tower was; its upper level had disappeared into the clouds.

Towers, castles, floating islands...

Everything seemed to be built around this tall tower, spreading outwards in concentric circles.

The apprentices were stunned.

Gazing at this magnificent scene, a sight they had never even dreamed of, each apprentice stared wide-eyed, held their breath, their hearts pounding, utterly awestruck.

The Eton wizard glanced past the apprentices, a smile playing on his lips, as if the gloom of the past few days had vanished.

"This is what magic should have been like in its original form."

He spoke slowly, addressing the apprentices, "Welcome to the world of wizards."
