I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World

Lynn observed the scene and roughly guessed how he might have ended up here.

The hole was like a whirlpool beneath the water’s surface—seemingly harmless from the surface, but in fact capable of pulling any passing fish into its depths.

Was it possible that he had been captured by this very hole when he returned to Demon City through the circle? 

This seemed to be the only plausible explanation. This was the common point between Lynn and this demon.

It seemed unlikely that the hole merely captured random lucky individuals from the Abyss.

With so many demons in the Abyss, if the capture relied solely on chance, most of those drawn in would likely be low-level demons.

The only common factor Lynn could think of between himself and this demon was spatial.

High-level demons often possessed a universal ability—Flicker.

This was a talent that many demons became renowned for. Demons with this ability were also among the rare few in the Abyss, mostly high-level, which matched the filtering criteria for such a trap.

“Hey, why is it this kind of guy again?” The bearded man’s dissatisfaction with the catch was evident. He had hoped for a high-level demon, such as a shadow demon or flame demon, which were more sought after in the market.

“I’ll take you back,” Harin offered, turning his attention to Lynn. “You’ve made impressive progress. Your mental strength is up to standard now. Focus on your studies for the time being. The outside world is currently unstable, so you should concentrate on your learning.”

“What’s happening?”

“It’s nothing major, but it’s not something that concerns you directly,” Harin explained. “It’s just that our enemies have stirred up another conflict, and it seems to be targeting us specifically.”

The man who was squatting on the side dissecting the dual-scythe slayer demon laughed wantonly. “Haha! Once our research is complete, we’ll show those gods what’s what!”

“By the way, teacher Harin,” Lynn suddenly turned to ask.

Harin tilted his head slightly. “What’s wrong?”

“I’ve heard that you are a throne wizard?” Lynn inquired.

“Oh, you’re talking about that thing,” Harin said after a brief pause. “You should be approaching the point where you need to decide your future path as a wizard. I assume you haven’t yet explored the library’s collection.”

“There’s no harm in telling you now. Let me give you a brief overview.”

Harin extended both his left and right hands.

From his left palm, a swirling mass of blood mist began to coalesce into a spherical shape, floating gently above his hand. On the right hand, a similar mist started to form, but this one was gradually solidifying. As it did, vibrant, multicolored energies merged with it, akin to adding various seasonings to a dish.

Eventually, the blood mist coalesced in his left hand, forming a dense, swirling mass in his palm. Meanwhile, his right hand also held a semi-transparent, red, solidified jelly. Inside the jelly, various color patches swirled about, and curiously, a piece of steel reinforcement had been embedded within it at some unknown point by Harin.

“I see what you mean now,” Lynn remarked with dawning comprehension. “You’re saying that the power of a wizard apprentice is less concentrated, but once one becomes an official wizard, their energy becomes more solidified?”

“Exactly,” Harin affirmed. “But it’s not just about that. Becoming a wizard involves the process of incorporating various elements into oneself.”

“Let’s put aside the issue of those alien wizards for now. As for us human wizards, at our core, we are still human. Regardless of the methods we use to strengthen our bodies, our ultimate goal is to make both our physical form and our souls stronger. In reality, I believe that the soul is also a part of the body. What truly drives our actions is the will residing within the soul, which you might also refer to as our thoughts.” Harin said, pointing to his own head.

“Whether through transformation, meditation, possession, or bloodline fusion, all methods essentially aim to make the vessel that carries our thoughts greater and more capable of harnessing the world’s power.”

Harin spoke slowly. “However, these transformations vary in effectiveness. Some offer greater potential and can take you further, while others have limitations and can only progress to a certain extent before stagnating.”

“Even the much-coveted destiny that many wizards aspire to is, in my view, just another aspect of material for transforming us. When you become a throne wizard, you accept the glory it brings, along with its inherent destiny,” Harin said, lifting his gaze to the distance.

“Hahaha, Harin, why are you being so mystical? I think you should quit being a wizard and go become a preacher in a church instead,” the man next to him couldn’t help but laugh heartily upon hearing Harin’s words. “Hey kid, don’t pay too much attention to what he says. Sometimes he just likes to act all profound and mysterious.”

“Although I’m not a throne wizard, I am an Abyss wizard. You might not know what an Abyss wizard is. It means that I fought in the Abyss, leading my legion in one of the many small battlefields there. I fought until I had defeated all the enemies on the battlefield, and in the end, I was the only one left, having advanced to the rank of wizard.”

The man’s face was full of pride. “An Abyss wizard like me gains the favor of the Abyss. During rituals or special events related to the Abyss, we receive its blessings. Simply put, it grants us a unique aura.”

Harin did not dispute this. From the man’s words, Lynn could tell that this was indeed the truth. However, the man’s explanation was certainly more straightforward compared to Harin’s description.

Harin shook his head. “Yes, it is a special aura. It absorbs the destiny of an empire, receiving the gifts of destiny, and thus becomes more favorable in certain rituals and events.”

“There are never any benefits without a price. Gaining favor always comes with responsibilities. For example, as an Abyss wizard, he received the Abyss’ favor, but such favor is never given for free,” Harin said with a meaningful tone.

“He naturally has to repay the Abyss in other ways. As this kind of cooperation deepens, the favor from the Abyss will also grow stronger. The more you gaze into the abyss, the closer you draw to it.”

Lynn pondered this deeply, sensing that he was beginning to understand. Perhaps this was the true purpose behind the Abyss Wizard Academy’s existence. Such Abyss wizards might only truly be found within its walls.

“Tsk, what responsibility? You’re just scaring yourself. All I have to do is occasionally help the Abyss invade a plane. I was already invading other planes, and now the Abyss provides me with free plane coordinates. It’s a privilege many wizards envy. You’re just jealous that I became an Abyss wizard. If you ask me, a real man should go to the Abyss and fight in the bloody battlefield, and those who survive battling demons are the true men!”

The bearded man pounded his chest, his laughter echoing like the roar of a predatory tiger.

Lynn stood by, listening to the exchange between Harin and the man. While he still had a few lingering questions, they seemed less important now. He had grasped the essence of what a throne wizard was, and he had also learned about a new term—Abyss wizard.

The Abyss needing help to invade planes sounds a bit like helping the Abyss meet its “performance targets.”

The Abyss, as a vast collective spanning multiple dimensions, is undoubtedly powerful.

Since Abyss wizards assist the Abyss in achieving its goals, who do throne wizards assist in meeting their objectives?

Lynn considered this carefully.

“Hm, such matters always involve trade-offs,” Harin continued. “You’ll inevitably come across such concepts in the library once you become a wizard, which is why I hadn’t mentioned it before. I believe these are decisions you need to make on your own, as every decision a wizard makes is ultimately their own. I don’t want to influence you too much.”

“I understand,” Lynn nodded in agreement.

After a moment’s pause, Harin asked, “Do you know Maybetessa?”

“I know, but I’m not very familiar with her.” Lynn paused and said.

“She wants to persuade you to use a biological entity as the core structure of your wizard tower?” Harin asked.

Lynn was taken aback, not expecting Harin to bring up such a question.

Seeing Lynn’s puzzled expression, Harin fell silent for a moment, realizing he might have said too much.

“Hey, wait a minute. What’s the problem with using a biological entity as the core of a wizard tower?” Lynn’s curiosity was piqued, and he quickly asked as he saw Harin trying to avoid the topic.

“It’s nothing.”

“Hey, Harin, that’s not cool. If your mentor won’t tell you, I will,” the bearded man interjected, eager to stir the pot.

“Ford,” Harin’s gaze grew cold, hinting at a dangerous edge.

Ford, the man in question, cleared his throat. “I think it’s better to let him know. What if he actually chooses that path?”

“It’s merely a difference in philosophy,” Harin said after a pause. “In my opinion, it doesn’t matter much. His path is for him to discover and walk on his own. As predecessors, we shouldn’t impose our views on them. We should simply present the knowledge without personal bias, and it’s up to them to discern and choose.”

“You’re too detached. Why doesn’t it matter? Listen carefully, kid. You should absolutely avoid using biological entities as the core of your wizard tower. Most wizards who go down that path all end up going insane!” Ford persuaded.

All went insane!?

Lynn caught the loophole in the words. Most, which suggested that not all wizards went insane.

He recalled Lady Maybetessa, whom he had met. She seemed quite sane.

“Back in the previous era, that is, the fifth wizard era, biological wizard towers were all the rage. But why don’t we basically see them in this era? It’s precisely because they are too dangerous,” Ford explained, shaking his head.

“That era was characterized by rampant biological transformations, bloodline transplants, and blood and flesh fusions. It was one of the craziest periods in wizard history,” Ford continued. “It’s said that our wizard civilization almost faced total destruction because of it.”

“That’s just historical accounts. The truth may not be as dire as described. Just because it’s written in books doesn’t mean it’s the whole truth. The real facts require personal investigation,” Harin said.

“So, I won’t advise you on which choice to make. The path of a wizard is one you must forge yourself,” Harin added.
