I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World

Invisibly, a ripple of energy pierced through the carriage curtain, accurately targeting the leader of the constables.

The constable captain, who was standing, shivered as if possessed, his body suddenly stiffening, as though struck by a heavy hammer.

Then, with a loud clang, he knelt down directly.

His kneecaps made intense contact with the gravel on the ground, but there was no reaction whatsoever.

The other constables who had gathered around stood frozen, not understanding what had happened to their captain or why he had suddenly knelt down.

The chubby constable with short eyebrows began to feel uneasy. He then saw the carriage curtain being pulled aside, and the young man from earlier leaned out his upper body.

In his hand, he held a black wooden staff, which he pointed at themselves and the others.

Although a gentle smile played at the corners of his mouth, his deep-set eyes were as cold as a deep abyss.

A basketball-sized ball of liquid was churning and spinning at the tip of the wooden staff.

The ball of liquid shot out and exploded among the crowd, splattering in all directions!

“Ah!”

Numerous screams reverberated through the empty main road.

The intense pain caused by the highly corrosive acid left everyone writhing on the ground. These constables, who were used to a life of comfort, had lost all fighting capability in the face of the acid’s corrosive effects.

Lynn bent over, his boots on the carriage’s step, and a flintlock musket in his hand as he descended.

He walked up to the people who were still breathing.

He aimed the flintlock musket at their heads.

Without mercy, he squeezed the trigger.

Bang!

Then he picked up another flintlock musket and repeated the same steps.

Bang!

Bang!

Click, click——

The firing pin made a clicking sound.

This time, the shot didn’t go off, possibly due to damp ammunition or some other reason.

Lynn turned the musket upside down, gripping the barrel, and swung the butt end down on their heads, smashing them until their skulls cracked, and brain matter sprayed until it stopped.

With the gruesome task finished, Lynn bent down, picked up the corners of their clothing, and wiped the blood off his boots.

Then, he deftly looted the muskets and bullets from their hands, along with the coins from their pockets, as if it were an inconsequential chore. He returned to the carriage naturally.

Poor Old Kim had never witnessed such brutality before.

He covered his eyes with both hands.

He felt like he might have seen something he shouldn’t have.

Oh no, Old Kim thought pessimistically, I might not survive the night.

“Keep moving,” Lynn’s gentle voice came from the carriage.

Old Kim swallowed hard, didn’t even dare to smoke, and quickly urged the horses to continue south.

When Lynn and his group had moved far away, Lauren, who was covered with curtains on the nearby hillside, walked down and turned to the woods behind him. “Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?”

The only response was the rustling of leaves in the wind.contemporary romance

Lauren shook his head and proceeded to drag each of the bodies into the nearby woods. After a simple cleanup of the traces on the ground, he heard someone approaching from a distance and quickly hid to the side.

“You handled it well,” Angley opened his eyes and spoke.

Lynn promptly closed the book and listened to his teacher’s words.

“I was worried they might disturb you, teacher,” Lynn replied. “Teacher, there’s something I need to tell you from last night.”

“I know, I thought you wouldn’t mention it,” Angley said cryptically.

Lynn’s expression changed slightly.

“But it’s just an Alchemy Laboratory. Since it’s your find, you can keep it,” Angley said.

“Yes,” Lynn lowered his head, his face filled with anxiety, but his heart remained calm. Angley indeed knew about last night’s incident, and Lynn would have been surprised if he hadn’t.

Looking out of the carriage window, Angley suddenly spoke. “If only I had been as cautious as you back then, maybe those things wouldn’t have happened later.”

“Since it’s an Alchemy Laboratory, there should be alchemy books inside. You are currently studying mutation studies with me. Remember, a person’s energy is limited, even if you’re not exactly human. So, in the early stages, it’s best to master one or two subjects.”

“This will greatly help you in the future,” Angley continued.

Lynn didn’t fully understand, but he kept his teacher’s words in mind. With Angley’s knowledge, what he said must have a reason behind it.

The carriage entered the Sagunto Mountains, and the road gradually became bumpy. The trees on both sides grew taller and denser, casting dark shadows over the road.

Old Kim found a quiet spot and stopped the carriage. He lifted the blanket placed under the driver’s seat and wrapped it around himself. Then, he gathered some dry firewood and lit a fire by the roadside.

He knew his fate depended on the mysterious mage inside the carriage, and his life could be changed with just a thought.

“Sir, would you like to come down and warm up by the fire?” Old Kim asked.

The carriage remained silent, and no one answered.

Old Kim didn’t dare to ask further questions. He hung his head low and rubbed his hands by the fire.

Inside the carriage, there was no one, only a metallic Rubik’s Cube sitting quietly on the seat. 

The Alchemy Laboratory’s folded space was somewhat cramped, mainly due to the scattered experimental equipment and some scraps of paper scattered everywhere. Lynn hadn’t had time to tidy up after last night.

In the corner of the space, on the bed, Angley sat reading a book.

When Lynn had politely asked his teacher if he wanted to enter his folded space earlier, he had thought the aloof teacher would refuse.

Little did he expect that Angley would agree directly. Angley, who was reading, coughed slightly.

Lynn quickly withdrew his gaze. Judging from his teacher’s attitude, this folded space wasn’t something extremely rare to him. Then why had he never used it before? Was it because he didn’t have access to it?

Lynn began to tidy up the Alchemy Laboratory, organizing the experimental equipment neatly into categories according to his ideas.

After a busy half-day, he finally got everything cleaned up. Small text appeared in the corner of his vision.

“Daily task completed: Clean up the laboratory (2), Clean up the laboratory once, and keep the laboratory clean and tidy.”

“Completion: Passed”

“Reward: 10 general experience points.”

Lynn paused for a moment. It appeared that the Alchemy Laboratory counted as a laboratory too. 

But why was it marked as (2) when the previous ones were labeled (1)? Was it because this laboratory belonged to him, or was it considered more “advanced” than the temporary laboratory he had cleaned earlier?

With the addition of these ten points of general experience, Lynn’s experience points reached 100. He could level up again.

For now, Lynn was primarily considering leveling up because increasing his level would enhance not only his physical fitness and mental strength but also improve his meditation efficiency. 

It could boost efficiency by more than ten percent, and gaining such abilities early on would yield higher rewards.

As for his knowledge of mutation studies, he could enhance it by reading books. Although Lynn was quite curious about alchemy, like how the Iron Earthworms were created through alchemy, who wouldn’t want to craft a few magic “Gundam” themselves?

However, he hadn’t finished reading the books on mutation studies yet. Lynn thought that assembling the “Hulk” seemed like a good choice too.

He wasn’t in a hurry— knowledge was readily available, waiting for him to acquire it at any time.
