I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World -
Chapter 56
According to the Bahov Elf, apprentices on the ship needed to “fight for” sleeping positions in the cabins.
The only fortunate aspect was that food and water on the ship were free. At any time of the day, apprentices could come to the kitchen and summon the Bahov Elf by knocking on the table to place orders.
Besides the Bahov Elf, there were also ghost sailors and talking picture frames in the corridors among the ship’s staff.
“How long does a typical journey take to reach its destination?” Lynn asked the Bahov Elf.
“It takes about two years. Every time I come out, the flowers I plant bear fruit twice. So, one year results in one harvest, making it a total of two years,” the Bahov Elf scratched his head. “Do you want something to eat?”
“What do you have to eat here?” Lynn asked.
“Most kinds of food are available. But if you have a hankering for hometown cuisine, you can tell me how to make them. I love trying new foods,” the Bahov Elf on the table said.
Hometown cuisine.
After thinking for a while, Lynn said, “Then, let’s have some grilled meat.”
“Sure, sir. How much would you like? Our food can’t be taken out of the restaurant, and wasting food is not allowed. If you waste food, the next time you come to the restaurant, we will heat up the leftovers for you until you finish them. However, reheated food usually doesn’t taste as delicious,” the Bahov Elf explained.
“300g will be enough,” Lynn said.
“All right, sir.” The Bahov Elf disappeared in a blink of an eye.
After the Bahov Elf left, Lynn sat at his seat, lightly tapping the table with his fingers.
Two years.
If the ship was traveling from the starting point, including the round trip time, it meant a one-way journey would take only a year.
It was unclear whether it was a return journey or a new departure, and Lynn wasn’t sure how much time was left. If there were still two years left, the time ahead seemed quite lengthy.
Those noble wizard apprentices who set out from Bangor Port might know how much time it would take to reach their destination.
Bang—
A blue light flashed before his eyes, and the Bahov Elf appeared on the dining table holding a dinner plate that was many times larger than himself.
A plate of fragrant grilled meat appeared on the dining table. “Sir, please enjoy your meal.”
The Bahov Elf lifted his bean-sized chef hat, bowed to Lynn, and then disappeared in a flash.
Lynn tasted the food and understood why the wizards’ notes praised the Bahov Elf as a natural-born chef. The taste was indeed excellent, and the food was exceptionally delicious.
Descending to the fourth floor, Lynn finally found a vacant room with a key inserted into the door lock. He chose an available room, noticing four empty beds inside.
There was a faint musty smell in the air, suggesting that not many people usually stayed here. Lynn pulled the key, entered the room, and settled in.
At night, the corridor outside echoed with noisy sounds, including some arguments. Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Lynn opened his eyes, glanced at the door being knocked, then closed his eyes, choosing to ignore it. However, the knocking didn’t cease.
After a while, Lynn got up, took his magic staff, and opened the door.
“After all that knocking, what took you so long to open the door?”
Outside the door, several individuals were standing. Observing that it took Lynn quite a while to answer the knock, the tall man behind the leading youth expressed his dissatisfaction.
“I am Anousheh Pratt,” declared the young wizard at the forefront, accompanied by several other youthful wizards outside the door.
The leading wizard was familiar to Lynn, the one who wore a purple and gold robe on the deck earlier. Lynn knew his name well.
Pratt was the name of the royal family of Erdolu Kingdom. The young man in front of Lynn should be a member of the Erdolu Kingdom royal family.
“The top two floors should have already been occupied by those wizards who boarded first. Those living on this floor should be the ones who boarded from Bangor Port. Away from home, we all come from the same place, and unity is essential,” Anousheh said. “Many of our royal ancestors joined the Wizard Academy, and some ancestors have become official wizards. You may not know this, but in the Wizard Academy, it is very challenging for ordinary wizard apprentices to become official wizards.”
“Wizard apprentices who want to become official wizards need to acquire a vast amount of knowledge. Learning spells and conducting experiments require a considerable fortune. Among wizards, ordinary gold and silver are useless. Wizard transactions are done with magic stones. I’ve established Erdolu Wizard Apprentices Mutual Aid Alliance. If you’re interested, you can come and listen. Moreover, in the Erdolu Wizard Apprentices Mutual Aid Alliance, you can engage in knowledge or material transactions. The location is in room 108 on the first floor.”
After finishing his speech, Anousheh politely closed Lynn’s door and prepared to leave.
“I would like to inquire about how much longer we will be on this ship,” Lynn asked.
Turning halfway, Anousheh paused and turned back, smiling, “It will probably take about half a year more.”
Lynn watched Anousheh’s retreating figure and closed the door.
In contemplation, Lynn considered the six-month timeframe. If he devoted himself to meditation, achieving the standard of a third-level wizard apprentice in terms of mental strength during this period should not be difficult. He had already amassed a sufficient quantity of spells—ten zero-ring spells and one one-ring spell.
However, the shortage of experimental materials was a hindrance. He could only conduct about twenty experiments before exhausting his supplies. Without materials, experiments would be impossible, and progress in his daily tasks would stall, hindering the accumulation of experience.
Nevertheless, there was still a way. If he couldn’t perform experiments in mutation studies, that didn’t mean he couldn’t in undead studies. Undead studies only required corpses as the primary material, and Lynn’s eyes turned dark.
Over the next few days, Lynn spent his time mostly in meditation, with brief intervals for meals. He also took a moment to check out the Mutual Aid Alliance that Anousheh mentioned, but after a single visit, he never returned.
The so-called Mutual Aid Alliance turned out to be filled with empty promises and deceit. Fellow wizard apprentices bombarded Lynn with various flatteries, asking him to reveal his wizard inheritance or conduct experiments on their behalf. Some even hoped he would become their follower.
Their rewards were promises of Lynn being allowed to follow their family ancestors upon reaching the Wizard Continent, gaining access to more knowledge.
For an ordinary commoner wizard who acquired wizard inheritance by sheer luck, these offers might be believable. However, with memories spanning two lifetimes, Lynn found these enticements rather naive.
Boom—
On the dark sea, a vessel, light and seemingly ethereal like a ghost ship, sliced through the waves, swiftly moving on the surface. Suddenly, the ship violently shook, as if colliding with something. Waves surged around it, and the ship’s speed plummeted.
Two wizard apprentices sitting on the deck observed bright “lights” floating on the dark sea. Unexpectedly, a water wave shot up from the sea. In the next moment, one wizard apprentice sitting on the deck was pierced through the chest. Witnessing the scene, his companion couldn’t help but let out a terrified scream, shattering the quiet atmosphere on the ship.
Meanwhile, in the Alchemy Laboratory, a soft light illuminated the room. Lynn, who was conducting experiments at the table, put down the reagent in his hand. Standing beside the statue of the Sea God, sealed by Angley, the surface of the statue began to produce large blue bubbles.
A faint salty scent emanated from the Sea God statue’s position.
