Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

White Tower Wizard City, the core wizard city of the White Tower Wizard Domain, is built around the White Tower and has hundreds of thousands of resident extraordinary individuals.

Just then, a "whoosh!" sound came from the distant sky.

A figure in a black cloak flew towards them on a broom and landed beside the square.

He was a young man, around twenty years old, with brown hair.

The left breast of his cloak was embroidered with a emblem of two stars, which Lynch had seen in the Wizarding Compendium; it was the mark of an intermediate apprentice.

The young man approached, bowed, and said, "Eton Wizard, I am Dick, a mid-level apprentice of the Tree Sea Crest, responsible for the follow-up settlement of new apprentices. This is my document."

He then handed over a piece of parchment.

Eaton took it, glanced at it, and nodded, saying, "Alright, then they'll teach you."

He paused, then turned to the apprentices and said, "According to the rules, each of you can ask me one non-knowledge-related question. Ask whatever you want as soon as possible."

The apprentices were taken aback, unsure of what to ask, but they still rushed forward, chattering away.

"Master Eton, is it possible for us to see you again?"

"What should we do next?"

The Eton wizard answered each question in turn: "There will be another chance to meet. If you are able to enter the tower, you can simply follow the instructions of Apprentice Dick..."

He asked everyone around, and then his gaze fell on Lin Qi. Everyone else had asked, but Lin Qi hadn't asked a question yet.

The Eton wizard asked, "And you, little one, don't you have anything you'd like to ask?"

"You'll see later that getting a free question from a wizard is no easy feat."

What's wrong...?

There were actually many things he wanted to ask, but Lin Qi didn't really know what to ask for the time being.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qi asked, "I heard you mention 'Ramos the Wizard's petri dish' before? Are you referring to the land in our hometown?"

"If that's the case, I'd like to ask you, what was the purpose of this wizard Ramos's experiment?"

Eton Wizard glanced at Lynch with a hint of surprise.

This question was clearly much more valuable than the pointless questions asked by the other apprentices.

"It's nothing."

However, he shook his head, offering no specific answer, and only vaguely stated, "It's just about finding a way out."

He didn't explain further, just said "You'll know later" and left.

Lynch was speechless.

If you don't want to answer, why did you ask me?

"You're really lucky," said Dick, the apprentice beside him. "Not every wizard follows the tradition of asking questions of their apprentices; most wizards are too lazy to tell their apprentices."

Is that so? Then it doesn't seem so bad.

Dick continued, "Alright, let's get going. Let me take you to the Apprentice Castle."

Following Dick as an apprentice, they set off again.

Along the way, Dick and Lynch introduced the basic rules here, including all aspects of life and study.

To put it simply, the White Pagoda adopts a laissez-faire approach to training its apprentices.

The apprentices are only provided with basic food and lodging in the witch realm. They must find their own way to learn knowledge, purchase witch tools, and even cultivate resources.

"You must have learned all the basic knowledge from your mentor, right?"

"It's okay if you don't understand it. You can look for some libraries in Knowledge Street, or try out some free open courses offered by different schools of thought."

"You can buy witchcraft tools and cultivation resources in the circular alley, which is right next to the block we just came from."

"As for food and lodging, the Apprentice Tower only provides them for free for three months. After that, they will charge you magic stones. The prices there are quite expensive and not worth it. You should move out as soon as possible."

The apprentices were all stunned upon hearing this.

A girl asked, "Is education here still free?"

Dick said, "Of course! This is the world of wizards; the first principle is equivalent exchange. How could there be anything without effort?"

Another apprentice asked, "But...we don't have any magic stones."

Dick said, "It's alright. There are many ways to earn magic stones in the Witch Domain. Newcomers can go to the mission hall to check it out. They will assign missions there every day."

"Planting, raising animals, gathering resources—if you have a combat specialty, that's even better. You can also take on monster hunting quests and become a Witcher."

"But the risks are quite high. There have been cases of Witcher casualties over the years, so we have to be careful."

"However, in general, the rewards from doing tasks are very low and unstable. In the long run, it's still necessary to join some wizarding organizations."

"The wizarding organization's recruitment takes place at the end of the month, and the assessment is mainly based on basic knowledge."

"These wizarding organizations are all backed by wizarding families. Joining them can provide stable resources for training, and outstanding performance can even lead to learning new knowledge."

"Like me, I joined the Forest Emblem."

The apprentices looked at each other in bewilderment.

Before coming here, they had been staying in the Meris Grand Library. As individuals with talent and potential, they were not only not allowed to work, but even nobles had to treat them with utmost respect.

This sudden change in identity has left them somewhat at a loss.

Lin Qi, however, finally realized what was going on.

Good heavens, it seems I've fallen from the ruling class to the production class!

Dick was used to the apprentices' expressions; every new apprentice looked the same way, he'd seen it all before.

He comforted them, saying, "Adapt as soon as possible. Forget about your past identities as soon as possible. Just remember that you are now in the wizarding world, and you are just apprentices here."

"Equivalent exchange is the first principle of the wizarding world."

The apprentices nodded with some difficulty.

Dick then suddenly asked, "By the way, you all came from Lorunt. Is anyone here from the capital? Are you familiar with Flea Alley in the capital?"

Irina pushed up her glasses and said, "I came from the royal city, but I've never been to Flea Alley."

Flea Alley is a slum in the capital, and Irina comes from a scholarly family, so she certainly wouldn't go to such a dangerous place.

Lin Qi asked suspiciously, "What do you want to ask?"

He had previously sent people to investigate the wizard's trail, so he might know some things.

Dick looked at Lynch with a puzzled expression: "You came from the slums of the capital?"

This doesn't look like it at all.

Lin Qi shook his head and said, "I sent people to the slums in the capital to find out about some things before, so I know a little about the current situation there."

Dick's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he asked, "Do you know what's been going on with the Brooks family, the old blacksmiths?"

Lin Qi was stunned.

He couldn't really answer other questions Dick might ask, but he did know the answer to this one.

Because this Brook family was none other than the family he was investigating that had led to the discovery of wizarding clues.

Could it be...

Lynch looked at Dick in front of him with a puzzled expression: "If you mean Brooke's Blacksmith Shop at 28 Middle of Flea Lane, then I think I should know it."

He tentatively said, "More than thirty years ago, the old blacksmith Brooke had a young son who was rumored to have gone mad, and then disappeared not long after..."

Dick nodded and admitted, "I am the missing youngest son."
