Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 273 - : The Cartoonist and the Earl’s Domain

Chapter 273 -273: The Cartoonist and the Earl’s Domain

Although there was only one day left, the situation Tang Qi was in wasn’t very difficult to handle.

A villa in the Rocky Community and a shelter-like brick building within Thorns Campus had been arranged by Tang Qi to be regularly maintained and cleaned by dedicated personnel; after all, they were merely resting spots in Messer City and didn’t require too much attention.

At this moment, Tang Qi was stuffing a large number of Curios and his collection into the “Bag of Gluttony,” one by one.

The space inside the bag was so vast that it could fit Tang Qi’s entire collection as well as the ingredients needed to prepare Secret Medicines.

In the Mysterious Valley Market, Tang Qi also had a “reward” waiting.

However, Tang Qi knew well that in Secret Phoenix State, there was also a “Mysterious Market” backed by the same organization, similar in nature to the newly opened market in the well-known metropolis of Sweet Water City in the Southern Federation Region.

The rewards and Seals were universally accepted.

Along the way, Tang Qi remembered something and sent a message through the Seal to Six-Armed Savoy, roughly saying: This lord will be leaving Messer City for a long time, and I’ll owe you for the new wine.

Afterwards, Tang Qi took care of Sally’s leave of absence from school, which wasn’t too complicated to handle—a phone call was sufficient.

Before resigning as “Special Advisor,” Tang Qi still belonged to the Privileged Class.

After handling these matters, Tang Qi came to his workbench, now empty and barren.

In front of him lay a colorful and mysteriously aura-emitting wooden box.

Tang Qi’s gaze did not linger on the wooden box but reached into his chest.

He took out the One-way Iron Plate, into which Magic Power surged.

A thought was transmitted within.

On the other end was neither Sally nor Stanna.

But it was McGraw, who Tang Qi had let out for a “trial” and who was a lame beggar that eventually got a new life thanks to Tang Qi, now seemingly undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

In Tang Qi’s perception, the other end was still the same boy, but his aura was much more stable than before, and there was a hint of sharpness.

With the feedback from his senses, Tang Qi immediately showed a touch of a smile.

As a subordinate, McGraw’s power growth could not keep up with Tang Qi’s.

But that didn’t mean he wasn’t worth training, on the contrary, McGraw’s evaluation by Tang Qi was high.

After all, not every Transcendent could encounter wonders like Tang Qi or Sally, or possess talents of horror.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

Most Transcendents, or Contactors.

Were those Tang Qi encountered in the market, who would go to great lengths for a bottle of Secret Medicine without side effects, an Extraordinary Weapon, a type of Magic Witchcraft… and often not everyone could succeed.

Compared to them, McGraw’s growth path was undoubtedly much more stable.

Before leaving Messer City, Tang Qi also had new arrangements for McGraw.

He would take over Tang Qi’s role and become the new Special Advisor to the Messer Police Station.

Having taken the initial series of the “Fog Body Secret Medicine” and with some Curios Tang Qi specifically left for him, along with the cooperation of Gideon, Nathan, and others, McGraw should be more than capable of facing most low-level anomalies.

And Messer City, just revived from the “Evil God Event,” was unlikely to spawn powerful anomalies.

Even if there were, McGraw, ordered by Tang Qi, would definitely inform the Ancient Castle Bureau immediately.

Once everything was settled and there were no oversight.

Buzz!

Tang Qi’s gaze finally rested on the workbench, where the mysterious wooden box lay.

His mind automatically recalled what the Witch named Elena said, that what’s inside the wooden box could answer all questions.

Without hesitation, Tang Qi’s hand reached for the clasp of the wooden box.

Before opening it, a “Guardian Spell” had already covered his body, as being cautious is always a good idea.

“Click”

The wooden box was opened, the first thing to catch Tang Qi’s eyes within.

There were two items in total.

But it was the first item that made Tang Qi freeze.

A comic book!

Yes, inside the mysterious wooden box, the item claimed by that witch to answer all of Tang Qi’s questions, was an extremely old-looking comic book that seemed to have been read many times over.

On the cover was a misty purple moon, shining down on an ancient town below, with the most eye-catching being the towering castle at the deepest part of the town. A sky full of crows flew over the castle, with a blood-red hue, faintly appearing in the corner, spreading towards the purple moon…

Judging from the architectural style of the town, it depicted at least the early Dark Age.

On the left side of the cover, the Federation General Language was prominently used, along with the name of the comic book and the author’s name.

“Immortal Legend!”

“Esmeralda!”

Tang Qi stood before the workbench, pinching a thin comic book in his hand.

The desire to snark was nearly roaring inside him.

He hadn’t opened it yet, but from the cover alone, the comic artist’s skill was undoubtedly strong.

If this “Witch Leader” would be willing to give up such a rubbish profession as witchcraft and turn to being a comic artist instead, perhaps she would have a bright future.

Indeed, Tang Qi had already learned the name of the Witch Leader who sealed Doomsday Magic more than a decade ago from Sally’s mother.

At this moment, it was glaringly written on one side of the cover.

The Merada Witch Group!

In fact, it referred to all members of the Merada family, generation after generation.

The latest leader of them was this generation’s “Esmeralda.”

Compared to the sudden career change of the Witch Leader into a comic artist, the comic book’s destined-to-flop name was no longer something Tang Qi could mock.

“Immortal Legend?”

“Perhaps, that’s why it could not be published?”

Tang Qi exhaled and muttered.

Then, he put the comic down and looked at the other item inside the wooden box.

Compared to the comic book, the two overlapping maps seemed much more normal.

It looked like one was old and the other new.

The old one was very rudimentary and crude, not only yellowed and spotted but also quite damaged. It was only vaguely discernible that it seemed to be a map of Secret Phoenix State from the early Dark Age.

The new one, on the other hand, was the latest version of the Secret Phoenix State map.

Due to the long passage of time, the two maps were vastly different. The Dark Age’s Secret Phoenix State was simply a representation of darkness and wilderness, with the people’s lives even more miserable than those in the Blank District previously, mainly centered around villages and towns, with hardly any larger human settlements to be found.

The current Secret Phoenix State, perhaps average in presence within the Federation, but compared to the Dark Age, it was an absolute light-filled paradise.

Tang Qi seemed quite interested in studying the old map, but his first priority was still to find the focal point.

The two maps, punctured together in the center by a black thumbtack.

When Tang Qi removed the thumbtack, at the overlapping junction, the name of a human settlement appeared.

On the old map, it was called “Immortal Earl Domain.”

And on the new map, it had become a town.

“Winston Town!”

Tang Qi looked at the place surrounded by several bustling cities including Secret Phoenix City itself, and slowly exhaled its name.
