I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World

Chapter 27

“Is the person inside?” Hampton descended the stairs. There was a separate small guest room behind this building.

Following Hampton were four robust men.

The old drunkard led the way ahead, opening the door.

Inside, a young man was sitting at the table, leaning back, with only two legs of the chair supporting his body.

Hamilton, following behind Big Goldtooth, felt somewhat nervous. It was his first time doing something like this, and his conscience weighed heavily on him.

If Anika knew he was involved in this kind of activity, she would surely be furious with him.

Hamilton thought to himself.

Due to his strong physique, he had been approached by people before for similar work, but Hamilton had never wanted to become someone who harmed others.

Upon entering the room, Hamilton kept his head lowered, not daring to look at the person inside.

“Big Goldtooth? I want you to help me find—” Lynn looked at the man standing behind Big Goldtooth with a strange expression on his face.

Could there be two people who looked so alike in this world?

Lynn blinked.

Double-checking.

Lynn had thought of many ways to meet, but he never expected to reunite with Mr. Hamilton under such circumstances after a long separation.

Lynn couldn’t help but let out a laugh, his lips curving slightly.

“What are you laughing at?” Big Goldtooth’s facial expression remained unflustered.

He detested it when people mocked his appearance.

“Nothing, just thought of something amusing,” Lynn said.

“The whole dock knows that I, Big Goldtooth, have the most up-to-date information,” Big Goldtooth said, taking a seat and propping up his right leg. “Whoever you want to find, as long as you can afford it, there’s no one I can’t locate.”

Big Goldtooth burst into laughter, revealing his yellow-stained teeth.

Hamilton, standing behind Big Goldtooth with a heavy heart, heard a familiar voice and looked in the direction of the sound.

In the next moment, Hamilton’s eyes widened, as round as copper bells, filled with astonishment and disbelief.

But immediately after, he felt worried and guilty for reuniting with Lynn in this place of all places.

He knew Big Goldtooth was not a good person. He had heard that Lynn had come to find someone, probably him.

Hamilton’s tiger-like eyes were fixed firmly on Lynn.

Lynn discreetly placed his index finger to his lips.

Shh——

After a brief moment of surprise, Hamilton was consumed by nervousness.

He didn’t know how to navigate this situation.

Lynn turned to Big Goldtooth and asked, “Big Goldtooth, how much money do I need to find someone?”

“Looking for someone from out of town?” Big Goldtooth grinned, “That’s not so easy. There are so many people coming to Bangor Port every day. If it’s a local, it’s easier to find, but for someone from out of town, it’s more complicated. It can be done… for the right price.”

“Just a commoner, how much money do I need to find them?” Lynn inquired.

“The speed of finding someone depends on how much you’re willing to pay,” Big Goldtooth exhaled a thick puff of smoke, his gaze growing more audacious.

Looking for a commoner? Big Goldtooth assessed Lynn from top to bottom, noting that he didn’t seem like a wealthy person.

He had heard from the drunkard that Lynn arrived on an inn carriage, a clear sign of being an outsider.

The truly influential people had their own carriages, so why would anyone need to take an inn carriage?

Big Goldtooth became increasingly convinced in his heart, and his gaze turned more malevolent.

“However, you look quite clean. If you don’t have enough money, I can recommend a lucrative opportunity for you,” Big Goldtooth said with malicious intent.

With that, Big Goldtooth approached Lynn and reached out, grabbing Lynn’s shoulder.

Lynn placed his hand on top of Big Goldtooth’s palm.

Huh?

Click——

Suddenly, Big Goldtooth’s wrist bent, and a force even greater than his came from the other end of his wrist.

Big Goldtooth let out a scream and hurriedly said, “Quick, come and restrain him.”

Hamilton elbowed the person beside him in the waist and delivered a punch to the back of another person’s head with his right hand.

The person hit in the waist half-knelt on the ground, gasping for air and clutching his side.

The other person winced in pain but reacted quickly, turning to grapple with Hamilton.

The last person glanced at Lynn, then at Hamilton, and chose to save their boss in response to Big Goldtooth’s cries for help.

Hamilton held onto this person and shouted to Lynn, “Run, Lynn!”

He didn’t know what to do. The only thing this honest and somewhat clumsy man could think of at this moment was to let Lynn escape from here.

He didn’t consider whether Lynn could escape even after leaving the yard. He just hoped his missing son could get out of his current predicament in his own way.

Lynn’s face remained expressionless. Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet sank, and the man who had just taken a couple of steps forward fell into a gaping maw.

Crack!

His torso was severed at the waist.

Colorful entrails mixed with copious amounts of blood spilled all over the ground.

The Iron Earthworm that had emerged from the earth, their three-meter-long bodies now towering, stood firmly in place at this moment.

Overlooking Big Goldtooth from above, their metallic heads opened up, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth surrounding a flower-like mouthparts. The mouthparts, imbued with a strong rust-like odor, hovered just half a meter away from Big Goldtooth’s head.

Viscous fluid and blood slowly dripped from the mouthparts, falling onto Big Goldtooth’s shoulder.

Big Goldtooth swallowed hard.

His legs turned weak, and he stammered, “You— you’re an extraordinary being. Don’t be hasty, buddy, don’t be hasty. I think there’s nothing that can’t be negotiated, right?”

“It depends on your performance, Mr. Big Goldtooth,” Lynn released his grip.

The Iron Earthworm swung its head, knocking Big Goldtooth to the ground.

Big Goldtooth struggled to his feet.

Somewhat disheveled, he managed to force a smile on his face.

He had never imagined that this seemingly handsome young man was actually an extraordinary being. If he had known, he would never have agreed to meet with Lynn in the first place!

Damn old drunkard!

Big Goldtooth seethed with anger.

“I came here with sincerity originally, but some of your actions have deeply hurt and disappointed me,” Lynn began to speak.

“I’m willing to compensate you, sir,” Big Goldtooth quickly responded, desperate to save his life.

“I find the room a bit noisy,” Lynn remarked.

Big Goldtooth understood what Lynn meant. Some of his underlings outside had heard the commotion inside and were trying to enter.

“Everyone stay outside!” Big Goldtooth yelled at the door.

He didn’t want his underlings to witness his embarrassed state.

“Pansen, Ford, you two stop and guard the door. Don’t let anyone else in,” Big Goldtooth instructed two of his close underlings.

The two who had been fighting with Hamilton immediately ceased their struggle and rushed to stand guard at the room’s entrance, preventing others from entering.

Big Goldtooth’s eyes darted between Hamilton and Lynn.

Now that he was temporarily out of danger, Big Goldtooth began to think.

Hamilton seemed to know Lynn. Initially, Big Goldtooth had thought Lynn might be an assassin sent by another faction to kill him, but if that were the case, Lynn would have attacked directly.

If he could establish a good relationship with Lynn, then perhaps he could harness the power of an extraordinary being for his own purposes.

Big Goldtooth had heard of extraordinary beings. As the Dock Rat, he was privy to more information than the average person and knew that within the kingdom existed a group of extraordinary individuals that ordinary folks were unaware of.

These people were exceptionally mysterious, but they were commonly found among the nobility.

The most common type among them was the knight of the nobility.

A knight was the most prevalent type of extraordinary being.

Some ordinary commoners might think knights were simply people who had received training in knighthood, learning some advanced swordsmanship.

But he knew that was only for ordinary knights. Within the ranks of knights, there were true extraordinary knights— those whose strength was as great as a bear, their speed faster than a leopard, their muscles as hard as iron.

Apart from knights, there were other types of extraordinary beings. He had heard of some troubadours who could recite the verses of the Grim Reaper, and anyone who heard their recitations died. Some were blessed by the Sea God, capable of breathing underwater for several hours, and they were known as water demons.

Some might think these were just legends, but he knew that many of these rumors were true.

For instance, if an ordinary person were to witness what had just occurred, they might believe it to be the work of a beast tamer capable of controlling monsters.

“Lynn,” Hamilton looked at the curled-up Iron Earthworm at Lynn’s feet, resembling a small dog. It was impossible for him to connect the monster that had just devoured half a person in one bite with it now.

“Mmm,” Lynn nodded and exchanged a glance with Hamilton.

Now wasn’t the time to talk too much, in case they revealed too much to Big Goldtooth.

Originally, Lynn had considered killing Big Goldtooth outright.

But upon reflection, he thought there might be a better way to handle the situation.
