Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: 001: Distance

On their way back, they traveled in a carriage—by far the most luxurious one Lynch had ever seen since coming to the Wizard World. It was drawn by six pure white Flying Pegasi, with the interior magically altered using a special Space Technique to create a spacious environment, including a bedroom, living room, lounge, bathroom, and dining room, all perfectly equipped.

They flew the entire journey back, with accompanying knights also specially equipped with Flying Pegasi. The majestic procession soared through the skies, resembling an airborne legion. It was grand, almost as impressive as Air Force One for the President of the United States back on Earth.

One could only say—truly befitting of a young lady from a High-level Wizard Family; it was undeniably extraordinary.

A journey of several dozen kilometers in the air amounted to nothing. Setting aside the time spent resting and reorganizing, Lynch successfully returned to the Shadow Land by dusk.

From afar, the heavy, floating clouds and the towering Wizard Tower beneath them came into view, surrounded by clusters of buildings sprawling outward.

Lynch felt a wave of emotion.

He had never found this sunless, perpetually gloomy land so inviting before. At this moment, it seemed familiar, almost nostalgic—like returning to a hometown. It felt as if all the hardships and obstacles he’d faced along the journey had simply melted away.

Could this be a sense of belonging?

Come to think of it, without realizing it, the modern societal world view rooted in Earth’s technology had gradually faded from his memory. Instead, he was consumed by fantastical magic, by Subaru, Carl, Graham, and the people and events here.

After all,

it had been several years now, hadn’t it?

The clusters of buildings gradually zoomed into focus, growing larger until the carriage finally landed steadily in a spacious square within the private grounds of a castle near the Tower—it wasn’t the Shadow Square.

This was the White Castle, a castle belonging to the Tavendish Family within the Shadow Land.

A number of people were already waiting in the square.

On the outer perimeter stood knights dressed in uniform silver armor, upon which faintly glowing runic patterns shimmered. Each chest bore the Tavendish Family’s gryphon crest.

Lynch had once heard Graham mention that some Wizard Families select outstanding knights from the Human World to be stationed permanently in the Shadow Land. However, establishing a knight order in such a place was no easy feat.

The dense, high-element concentration near the Shadow Tower makes it impossible for knights to survive for long without modifications to their bodies or taking Magic Potions to suppress the elements. Either option comes with a significant cost.

Even the armor these knights wore was no ordinary plate; it was specially crafted from rare materials, embedded with runes, and magically constructed to fully enhance their combat abilities.

At the center of the square, encircled by the knights, stood several dozen apprentices. Their strength ranged from low to mid to high-level, and they stood in three rows based on their ranks, with everyone’s chest adorned with the Tavendish Family’s gryphon crest.

These apprentices were the Transcendents who served the Tavendish Family.

Most of them came from Wizard Organizations like the Shadow Tower itself. For instance, apprentices who could not ascend the Tower by the age of thirty were forced to seek other opportunities, with Wizard Families being one of the best options.

Serving a Wizard Family as a Family Wizard granted access to cultivation resources from the family to continue along the Wizard’s Road, forming the backbone of order.

Of course, most apprentices only ended up in smaller Wizard Families, stationed in remote areas performing more mundane tasks. Entering a prestigious family like Tavendish was an entirely different matter altogether.

At the forefront of the ranks stood an elderly man with snow-white hair and beard. The triangular insignia on his wizard cloak marked him clearly—it indicated that he was an Official Wizard.

When apprentices endured the lengthy apprenticeship period, overcame countless obstacles, and were finally fortunate enough to ascend to the Wizard Level as a world-recognized entity, the Wizard Family they served would select talented young heirs for marriage.

Through marriage, the Wizard would be permanently branded with the family’s mark and truly integrated into the family. Their descendants would thereby fully shed their Muggle identities and become noble Purebloods.

From then on, they would be fully embraced by this world, joining its ruling class.

The societal structure of the Wizard World worked this way:

Each Transcendent apprentice served a Wizard Family; Wizard Families combined to form Wizard Organizations.

From an ordinary human kingdom or the lowest-level resource site to colossal establishments like the Shadow Tower—none could exist without the influence of Wizard Families. Wizard Families were, in fact, the true fundamental pillars behind them.

And among those families, Tavendish was undeniably at the very pinnacle of the pyramid.

High-level apprentices approached the Official Wizard for their handovers. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}
