Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

Finally, we can explore the world of the dead!

In fact, the undead had already conquered the Labour Pass more than twenty days ago, opening the gate to the Ruins.

However, at that time Lin Qi was adrift on the vast ocean, so no matter how impatient he was, he could only wait patiently.

Unexpectedly, this wait lasted for more than twenty days, which made Lin Qi quite anxious.

After all, he knew exactly what treasures were hidden in the ruins.

To put it another way, the Bone Wasteland can only be considered the starting village of the undead world; the Ruins are the real highlight where the game's content unfolds.

Higher-level undead include Death Knights, vampires, ghosts, and high liches...

Even the bone dragon that Lynch had been longing for!

The total number of Shadowstone mines in the entire Bone Wasteland is only a few tens of thousands.

In the ruins, even a random Shadowstone vein costs at least 100,000!

The Elixir of Immortality that grants eternal youth, potions that provide significant attribute boosts, rare magical materials, and a more complete wizarding legacy...

Even rarer magical items, such as airships, magic trains, and wizard ships...

New heroes, higher-level architecture...

Anyway,

Only by stepping into the ruins can one truly enter this world and glimpse its former glory, built upon magic...

of course,

Although he was already impatient, Lin Qi did not rashly open the portal.

Now, he's no longer in a castle where he has complete control. He's in an unfamiliar environment, in a world of extraordinary beings, so it's best to be cautious.

So after careful consideration, Lin Qi decided to observe for two days first and only begin his exploration once he was sure it was safe.

......

The next morning, no one went anywhere; they just rested in the castle for the day.

The restaurant is on the second floor. For the first three months, food and lodging in the castle are free, and it's open 24 hours a day, so you can always find something to eat.

The chefs were a group of goblins, only half the height of ordinary people, with green skin and pointed mouths. They weren't very pleasing to the eye, but the food they made tasted quite good.

Many of these ingredients were ones that Lin Qi and his companions had never seen before, and some were quite peculiar.

For example, there is a drink that tastes like honey water. After drinking it, you will experience a hallucination and be instantly transported to a lush forest where every breath you take smells of grass and earth.

There's also a piece of snow mountain heart that looks like shaved ice; every spoonful sends a chill down your spine from the inside out.

There was also mead brewed by forest fairies, mashed potatoes that would wriggle around in the plate... all sorts of strange and wonderful things that truly broadened the horizons of Lin Qi and his apprentices.

On the third day, everyone left the castle, and a few apprentices made plans to visit the wizard market.

Lynch didn't know who started it, but Simon came to call him.

Having just arrived in this strange world, Lin Qi was very interested in the local customs and culture, so he agreed to come.

The market here is much like the human world, bustling with people.

There were shops along the street, as well as moving carriages. Lynch even saw houses that could walk, and some of the simpler ones were just animal skins laid out on the ground as stalls.

The goods are dazzling, including potions, magical materials, strange magical items, and even magical pets and monsters.

Simon set his sights on a fire-breathing lizard, only the size of a palm, but capable of spewing flames three to five meters away; it was a low-level magical fire dragon lizard.

According to the stall owner, this fire dragon lizard was born not long ago. If it is raised to adulthood, it can awaken at least 3 to 5 bloodline talents, making it as powerful as a high-level apprentice.

Unfortunately, the price was 300 magic stones, which Simon could only afford with 20 coins in his pocket.

"I must save up enough money to buy this!"

Admittedly,

He won't give up easily.

And that's why, early on the fourth day, Simon enthusiastically proposed to go to the mission hall.

The proposal was unanimously approved, and after two days of reflection, the apprentices all realized their current situation.

This is no longer Lorunt, no longer the Great Library of Meris; from now on, they will have to rely on themselves.

The Quest Hall is located in the center of this wizarding city, near the White Tower. It is also a castle-like building, much more magnificent and imposing than this Apprentice Castle.

It was even more bustling than a market, with apprentices constantly coming and going.

Lynch observed that the apprentices coming and going here seemed to be of two extremes.

One type is young and clueless like them, clearly newcomers who have just entered the wizarding world.

Another type is those who look very old, with gray hair and wrinkles on their faces like tree bark. These kinds of apprentices often have despair, numbness, and some resentment on their faces.

The quest can be accepted on the first floor.

This was a fairly spacious hall, with dozens of glowing wooden boards hanging on the four walls, displaying various mission information.

Tasks are categorized by difficulty and reward; simple tasks have low rewards, and vice versa.

Lin Qi glanced at the list and found that the simpler tasks included "collecting ten Moonflowers outside the castle" or "helping a certain wizard organize the library bookshelves," but the rewards were mostly only one or two magic stones.

Higher rewards correspond to higher difficulty levels, such as hunting missions.

Hunting forest banshees, dark spiders, eerie tree spirits... many of these are creatures whose names alone suggest they are not to be trifled with, and the reward can reach tens, hundreds, or even more magic stones.

There are also errand-running tasks, sewer-cleaning tasks, and potion-tasting tasks...

A wide variety, countless types.

On the fifth day, Lynch visited the free library here. The contents were similar to those of the Meris Library, containing only basic knowledge.

On the sixth day, Lynch didn't go anywhere; he stayed inside the castle and learned about its specifics in detail.

Day 7...

Day 8...

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

After this period of time, everyone has basically adapted to their new situation and accepted their new identity.

The novelty wore off, and for several days in a row, no one went out to wander around anymore; they mostly stayed inside the apprentice castle.

Aside from eating and sleeping, I spend all my time reading and reviewing basic knowledge to prepare for the recruitment event at the end of the month.

Everyone has checked out the mission hall, and it's true, as Dick described, that the rewards are too low and there's not much of a future to speak of. If you really want to live a good life in the future, you'll have to find a legitimate identity.

Apart from Simon and a few other apprentices, the rest were not prepared to waste their time there.

Anyway,

Everyone is making their own preparations and efforts to welcome the future.

The same applies to Lynch.

However, he didn't waste time reviewing the knowledge, as it was already completely imprinted in his mind through the study, and there was no need to review it.

Unlike Simon, he didn't go to the mission hall to accept missions.

People have different talents, and these are not the development paths he is good at. His future should be to continue to explore his own talents.

in the dormitory.

After closing all the doors and windows and making all the necessary preparations based on the detailed investigation of the surrounding environment over the past few days, and after confirming that there would be no unexpected events, we made sure that everything was in order.

Lin Qi arrived at the center of the room, summoned a portal, and stepped inside...
