Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

At dusk, on the main street of Ouko Harbour, there are seagulls and bread restaurants.

Seagull & Bread is a small restaurant located in the middle of the main street of Ouko Harbour.

Compared to the noisy and greasy pubs and delicatessens on the dock, this place is much cleaner and quieter; and compared to the upscale restaurants on Gem Street, the prices here are much more affordable.

It's a restaurant that focuses on serving the middle class, and painters, musicians, scholars, and craftsmen who work nearby are its regular customers.

The evening light slanted in through the arched windows, bathing the long table, which was covered with a white tablecloth, in a warm orange hue.

At that moment, a sharp female voice suddenly rang out from a table by the window in the restaurant. Her tone was full of disbelief, mixed with a sense of frustration that was hard to describe.

"What! You're already married!"

Jenny held the fork in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force, and the piece of tomato stuck on the fork tip wobbled precariously, almost flying away.

Lin Qi, holding his cup, looked at her with surprise and nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Jenny's face kept changing color, turning red and white in turns. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Haha—" Jeffrey's light laughter rang out from the side, the tone of which was ambiguous, whether it was happiness or schadenfreude. "Jenny has a crush on you."

Jenny, like a lioness whose tail has been stepped on, pounced and grabbed Jeffrey by the neck, gritting her teeth as she said, "Do you believe I'll tear your mouth apart?!"

"Ouch—ouch—ouch—I was wrong!" Jeff struggled, his face flushed red, waving his hands wildly in the air.

After a long commotion, the two finally exhausted themselves and quieted down.

Jenny slumped against the sofa with a look of utter despair, looking like a lump of melted butter.

She looked up at the ceiling and sighed weakly, "Ah! My beautiful love ended before it even began!"

Jeffrey rubbed his neck, which had been pinched red, and comforted him, "Don't be sad. It's not like this is the first or second time you've been dumped."

Jenny's face darkened: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

Lin Qi looked at the two goofy characters with curiosity and asked in confusion, "Aren't you two a couple?"

He had always thought so.

Jenny curled her lip and said with blatant disdain, "Tch—him? Even if all the men in Ouge Port—no, even if every man in the world died, it wouldn't be his turn."

Jeffrey, not to be outdone, immediately retorted: "Dream on, you wish."

Lin Qi looked at the two young people flirting and joking without realizing it, and a sense of emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

It's so good to be young!

This is the age when emotions are at their most beautiful—naive, ignorant, not knowing what you really want, and simply following your feelings.

Whether the outcome is success or failure, the process is always beautiful.

Ok,

Scammers are an exception.

Jenny was still resentful, looking at Lynch with a resentful expression and a hint of coquettishness in her voice: "How could you get married? How old are you?"

Lin Qi said, "Isn't it perfectly normal for me to get married at my age? It's you who's the odd one out, not even talking about marriage yet."

Marriages were generally early in this era. There were no strict legal regulations, but people could usually get married once they reached sexual maturity, usually between the ages of thirteen and fifteen.

Lynch will turn sixteen in the second half of the year, which by that standard would even be considered late marriage.

Jenny declared vehemently, "Can we bury that outdated way of thinking in the grave? I want to be a modern woman in Ougegang—I won't get married until I'm eighteen!"

Jeffrey added a sarcastic remark from the side: "You'll be an old maid by then, nobody will want you."

Jenny rolled her eyes at him: "Mind your own business."

She turned around and looked at Lin Qi again, her expression suddenly changing.

With elbows resting on the table, fingers interlaced and flat, gently pressing against the chin, the back straightens and the chest leans slightly forward, the whole person resembling a flower blooming in the spring breeze.

Her chin rested on her interlaced fingers, her gaze sweeping upwards as she looked at Lin Qi with a captivating look in her eyes, and said, "It's okay if we're married—I can be your mistress. Or..."

After a slight pause, she continued, "Or you could introduce your lord to me."

At this point, she cupped her face in her hands, revealing a lovesick expression: "Ah—the Sword of Valen, currently the youngest knight in Lorunt, even more outstanding than that show-off Simon!"

"I've heard he's also incredibly handsome. To be the lover of such a genius would be pure bliss!"

After the Earl's banquet, Lynch's fame spread far and wide; a 15-year-old knight was a first in Lorunt's history.

He was thus granted a unique knighthood.

Valen's Sword.

Lin Qi smiled without saying a word, lowered his head and focused on cutting the steak on his plate, the knife and fork making a soft sound on the white porcelain plate.

Jenny tilted her head and looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Without looking up, Lin Qi said, "He won't like you."

Jenny immediately became displeased and said with displeasure, "Can't you speak properly?"

"I am, after all, the most beautiful woman in the Great Library of Meris, possessing elegance, talent, and beauty all in one—"

She puffed out her chest and raised her chin slightly. "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If you bring me to your lord, I guarantee I'll make him completely infatuated."

Lin Qi said, "No need to gamble."

He paused, and before Jenny could press further, he changed the subject, "The Simon you just mentioned, are you referring to Simon Lanchester, the Knight of the White Sails?"

Simon Lanchester, the Knight of the White Sails.

At the young age of 16, he was promoted to knight, breaking the record held by the Duke of the North for more than a decade. He was the most outstanding knightly genius in Lorunt.

Unfortunately, this record only lasted for a year before Lynch broke it again.

Jenny said, "Who else could it be but him?"

Lynch raised an eyebrow: "Isn't he a knight? And studying at the Meris Grand Library? Why haven't I seen him?"

"So many problems," Jenny muttered.

Jeffrey, standing nearby, chimed in, explaining, "He's different from us. He's the same type as Thorne, a student personally selected by Lord Merris, who went directly to the seventh floor to study."

Unlike the assessment and promotion system of the first six levels, the seventh level of the Meris Grand Library requires personal screening by the Meris Grand Scholar.

The screening targets all scholars from levels 1 to 6, and even those who have not yet entered the field.

Even if you learn all the knowledge of the first six levels, you cannot enter without the approval of Grand Scholar Meris.

Conversely, if one can gain the approval of Grand Scholar Meris, then regardless of which level one is on or how much knowledge one possesses, one can directly enter the seventh level.

Overall, it's a rather strange floor in the library.

Jeffrey paused, then continued, "As for why we can't see him... we don't know."

"But I did see him the day he left. He seemed quite angry about something, muttering to himself, 'That damn guy, how dare he steal my thunder! Just you wait, I'll teach him a lesson!'"

Upon hearing Jeffrey mention the seventh floor of the library, Lynch raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, isn't the library only six floors? Where's the seventh floor?"

He had been curious about this question for a long time, and he was always very puzzled every time he walked into that six-story building.

Jeffrey shook his head: "We don't know either."

"Entering the seventh floor requires Lord Merris's permission. Very few people in the library have been there; only Simon, Thorne, and a few others."

"They don't usually play with us. When we ask them, they say they want to keep it a secret and won't tell us."

Lin Qi looked puzzled.

Jenny interjected, "If you want to know the answer to the question about the seventh floor, perhaps you can look for clues on the sixth floor. Lord Merris said—"

"The answer can be found on the sixth floor of the library, on the seventh floor."

......

Let's put the library matter aside for now.

After dinner, Lin Qi returned to his hotel and opened a portal to the Land of the Dead.

However, today he did not rush into the study to start studying as he usually does.

Instead, he led his undead legion onto an undead carriage and hurriedly left Stormwind.

After several days of war preparations, the deployment at the front line was declared complete this afternoon.

The exploration progress in the undead world has been stalled for several days.

It's finally time to move forward!
