I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World

Chapter 112

Placing the chunks of meat obtained from Dyo in the bottommost chamber of the laboratory’s secret room, Lynn evenly spread a preserving liquid over its surface.

Then Lynn summoned Bu and had it take out all the raw yellow jasper ores, filling up half a layer.

He instructed Bu and the other goblin engineers to extract the yellow jaspers from these raw ores.

Shortly after Lynn returned, Liszt, who had been waiting outside, saw the brute force demon coming out of Lynn’s house. Knowing that Wizard Lynn had returned, he quickly stepped forward to report. After being announced by the goblin, Lynn had the goblin bring him down.

“Is everything prepared?” Lynn glanced at the somewhat nervous Liszt.

Liszt quickly retrieved a stack of books from his storage ring.

“These are the books you requested, Lord Lynn.” Liszt respectfully gestured toward the stack of books, which stood nearly half a meter high on the ground.

Lynn picked up a few books and skimmed through them: ‘Identification of Magical Plants’, ‘Comprehensive Guide to Common Magical Plants 1’, ‘Comprehensive Guide to Common Magical Plants 2’, and ‘Study on the Growth Habits of Magical Plants – White Tower Edition’.

Mostly, they contained various research on magical plants and their medicinal properties. Surprisingly, there was only one book related to potion-making and research, titled ‘Introduction to Potion Studies – Demonstration Handbook’.

“Lord Lynn, I believe that understanding the medicinal properties of these magical plants is the most important aspect of learning magic potion studies,” Liszt said cautiously.

He didn’t know if Lynn was genuinely prepared to learn magic potion studies or just had a whim to test him. But he didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

“You should be able to make this potion.” Lynn handed Liszt a potion formula.

It was the Meditation Acceleration Mutation potion.

While other potions might not have much competitiveness, the Meditation Acceleration Mutation potion definitely stood out. Although there were quite a few potions that enhanced meditation efficiency, according to Lynn’s knowledge, those potions were generally quite expensive. 

In comparison, the Meditation Acceleration Mutation potion, although not as potent in effect, was much more cost-effective! Those who couldn’t afford high-end products could surely afford these low-end ones.

This potion formula was knowledge that Lynn had obtained from behind that door as his knowledge of mutation studies progressed through completing daily tasks. Currently, there was no similar knowledge available in the market.

Liszt glanced at the formula of the Meditation Acceleration Mutation potion. It didn’t specify the exact function of the potion, only providing the formula and the method of potion-making.

“It’s quite simple,” Liszt remarked, as the potion’s production difficulty wasn’t high.

“Stay here for now. For the first month, focus solely on making this potion. I want to see how many bottles you can produce in a month. I’ll provide you with the raw materials for the potions,” Lynn instructed.

Liszt clenched his fist, silently swearing to himself. This was definitely a test for him, and he was determined to prove himself this month.

He had traveled a long way to get here, having heard that Demon City was the closest major wizard force to him. Besides becoming a true wizard, he had no other dreams.

After arranging an empty new laboratory for Liszt, Lynn left.

Once Lynn had departed, Liszt began concocting the potion, being extremely careful and meticulous. Since embarking on the path of a wizard, Liszt had noticed himself gradually drifting away from those around him.

He was originally born in a human kingdom on the Continent of Vanquished Gods, which belonged to a certain wizarding faction. Therefore, the people living here were quite familiar with wizards. In the eyes of many, wizards were lofty figures to be revered and becoming a wizard was a matter of pride.

Liszt, the son of a farmer in the countryside, had grown up in a village and was later discovered by a passing wizard to possess wizard aptitude. He was then taken back and joined that wizarding faction. Although the faction he joined was small, with only one official wizard, it was still considered a wizarding faction, with over a hundred apprentices alone.

But good times didn’t last long. Seven years later, the wizard of the faction Liszt belonged to met with an accident during an exploration trip, leading to the faction crumbling overnight, with members scattering in all directions.

Lost and confused, Liszt wandered back to his hometown. In the tales spun by his neighbors, he had already become the legendary all-powerful wizard. However, upon seeing him return, the familiar faces of the past no longer greeted him with warmth; instead, they regarded him with a mixture of awe and distance.

Even his usually stern father became reserved in his presence, while his mother, who had previously shown favoritism towards his older brother, now asked if Liszt could teach his brother magic too. Testing it out, Liszt found that his brother seemed to lack any magical aptitude. However, no matter how he explained it, his family seemed somewhat incredulous, simply assuming he was unwilling to teach others.

Feeling downcast, Liszt took a walk outside. On that day, a childhood friend with whom he had a good relationship came knocking, bringing some barley liquor and reminiscing about their childhood days spent playing in the haystacks.

That night, he felt genuinely happy, finding solace in reconnecting with his childhood friend.

In a tipsy state, Liszt pointed to the hill opposite.

“Jerem, I still remember how we used to pick wild strawberries on that hillside when we were kids.”

“Hahaha, yeah, from now on, Lord Liszt, we’ll need you to take good care of us.”

The hillside hadn’t changed much, nor had the village. The only changes were in the two young boys who used to run atop the hill.

As the evening breeze blew, Liszt sobered up, suddenly feeling weary. The next day, he left his hometown alone.

On the day of his departure, he seemed to recall a phrase spoken by the wizard who had taken him away from the village: “Once you become a wizard, you must learn to befriend solitude.”

…

Emerging from the basement, Lynn released the little girl from the Alchemy Laboratory.

Finding herself in an unfamiliar environment, the girl, who had grown somewhat accustomed to Lynn during this time, instinctively grabbed his hand.

“I don’t want to leave,” Kathryn said, her eyes wide, fixed on Lynn.

A few days ago, Lynn had discussed Kathryn’s future with her. Originally a quiet and reserved girl, the idea of going to a strange place had suddenly made her afraid. Although Lynn was also a stranger to her, she had at least had some contact with him over the past two weeks, and Lynn was the person her mother had entrusted her to.

Lynn fell silent, gently patting Kathryn’s head. “But my place isn’t suitable for a regular little girl like you to live in. This is the Demon City.”

With his experiments often taking several days, he didn’t have the time to look after a child. Moreover, his building was inhabited by hundreds of goblins, and he didn’t think they were capable of looking after children.

“I’ll be obedient,” Kathryn insisted.

“Master!” Lauren came down the stairs from the side, excitedly greeting Lynn. Following behind Lauren was Bowa.

However, Bowa’s slightly protruding belly indicated that she was already pregnant.

Observing this scene, Lynn pondered for a moment. In reality, he was also somewhat hesitant about how to handle Kathryn. While sending her to the mortal kingdom wouldn’t be difficult, ensuring the safety of a young girl in a foreign environment was challenging. There was a risk that she might be exploited by unscrupulous individuals or encounter accidents.

Moreover, Dyo had now become an Abyss Lord, and this was the daughter she had before she became one. If anything happened to Kathryn, it would be difficult to explain to Dyo. This little girl was a hot potato.

Damn it, he had indeed been manipulated by that woman.

Just saying to send her to the mortal realm would suffice. If her plan failed and Kathryn died, she wouldn’t care about her daughter. But if her plan succeeded, her daughter would be able to escape the Abyss. She was truly calculating.

However, Lynn wasn’t someone to be easily manipulated.

“Lauren, Bowa, this little girl is called Kathryn. She’s temporarily staying with me, the daughter of an acquaintance. Take care of her for the time being,” Lynn said.

Perhaps due to her pregnancy, Bowa now exuded a maternal glow and readily accepted this task.

Seeing Kathryn cheer because she didn’t have to be sent away, Lynn squinted his eyes. Feeding a little human girl wouldn’t cost much. I’ll keep her for now. With a hostage here, Dyo, you better work hard in the Abyss. Otherwise, how will I take your daughter to find you and extort you in the future?
