Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 185 - El Family and Evil Spirit
Chapter 185: Chapter 185: El Family and Evil Spirit Chapter 185 -185: El Family and Evil Spirit Tang Qi casually inquired, and the information fragments he had seen from the handbook automatically emerged in his mind.
The focus was on that middle-aged curly-haired man, who had changed dramatically, but still vaguely resembled the son of Ralph.
Although he is a Mad Wizard, Ralph’s appearance still fits into the category of handsome, a trait he passed on to both his son and daughter, with his daughter being even more beautiful, seemingly marrying into a minor noble family in a state within the Europe Alliance due to her beauty.
Beside Tang Qi, dressed in clean clothes and looking like a clever young man, McGraw stood respectfully.
Hearing Tang Qi’s voice, McGraw quietly recounted how he had found El Ralph, that is, the family of the Mad Wizard, son of Ralph.
After receiving a task from Tang Qi, McGraw first went to a remote town in Blue Deer City.
He located the eerie villa described by the “Contactor” who had sold the handbook to Tang Qi, and after some inquiries around, learned that Ralph’s family had actually moved to the neighboring New Gang State to rely on his wife’s brother.
Just as McGraw was about to continue his investigation in New Gang State, he received a message from a Blue Deer City policeman he had bribed: El Ralph’s family had suddenly decided to move back to Blue Deer City and had even made a phone call and completed some procedures in advance.
Confirming this news, McGraw immediately notified Tang Qi, while he himself went to Field Town.
Here, is the necessary path from New Gang State to Blue Deer City.
“You’ve done well, the task has been excellently completed.”
Tang Qi glanced at the ordering El family, then turned back, looking at McGraw, and nodded in approval.
Now, Tang Qi felt even more how convenient it was to have a loyal subordinate.
Alone, some tasks would require stretching oneself too thin.
“Sir, this is what I should do.”
McGraw sincerely stated, he indeed thought so: working for Tang Qi, besides monetary rewards, what truly elicited endless gratitude in him was that dose of “Swift Secret Medicine.”
That almost helped him escape his disabling predicament, and also served as the final step in solidifying the Ancient Mongolian Secret Medicine process.
Hence, Tang Qi planned to continue improving McGraw’s abilities.
Now, apart from the speed enhanced by the Swift Secret Medicine, he only possessed some rudimentary combat skills.
With a thought, Tang Qi took out two items from his bosom, and handed them both to McGraw.
A bottle of Secret Medicine, and a small iron piece.

“Since you are working for me, follow my rules. This is your reward for completing this task, the other item is a little something I use to contact you; for now, it can only receive messages from me, just keep it with you.”
“We’re not far from Gall City, you take your men, go there, secretly investigate information regarding Sleeping Town. Don’t approach it, just gather some information for me.”
After giving McGraw the Phantom Secret Medicine and the iron piece, Tang Qi thought for a moment, and then directly assigned the next task.
Sleeping Town in Gall City, is precisely the location recorded in the second Sheepskin Scroll, where the Extraordinary Creature “Night Beast” was said to exist.
Tang Qi thought it was like killing two birds with one stone: having left Messer City, he might as well solve two issues at once, the Mad Wizard’s handbook and an Extraordinary Creature, he wanted both.
McGraw, having fully assumed his role, bowed very naturally, took the Secret Medicine and the iron piece, retreated into the smoke, and quickly disappeared.
The Phantom Secret Medicine, would further enhance some of McGraw’s abilities.
At least his ability to escape has already surpassed many Transcendents.
Once McGraw left, Tang Qi’s attention returned to the El Ralph family.
Even though they were at least hundreds of meters apart, Tang Qi could still sense something was off with this family.
There was no convergence of ghost light, but there was an uncomfortable aura.
“Evil Spirit?”
Tang Qi muttered to himself, his lips suddenly curving into a smile.
With Tang Qi’s strength and accumulated knowledge in Mysticism, he could naturally tell that the El family must be entangled with an Evil Spirit, which was why each of them was on the verge of collapse, yet still managing to hold on.
It might be because they heard El’s recount, and eventually considered Ralph’s ancestral villa as their last lifeline.
After all, El knew that his father was actually a Wizard.
A Mad Wizard is still a Wizard; perhaps some lifesaving items were left in the villa.
Unfortunately, if things were to follow their original course, this family’s hope would definitely be shattered.
Ralph was truly mad; he had placed all his obsessions on a non-existent Goddess, leaving nothing behind except the ‘Handbook’. The so-called Curios that could help the family were non-existent.
If they did exist, they would have long been stolen by the Contactor who sneaked into the villa.
“Fortunately, they met me.”
Tang Qi said again, then his figure shifted, merging into the morning fog without entering the town.
Soon, the El family finished their meal, exited the hamburger shop, and didn’t loiter around the town but went straight back to their RV, taking turns to use sleeping pills to rest for a few hours. Nearing evening, El started driving again.
“Children, you don’t have to be scared anymore, I will drive all the way back to the villa your grandfather left for us. Trust me, no matter how terrifying that bitch’s ghostly creatures are, as soon as they feel your grandfather’s presence, they will definitely scream and flee.”
“Dad, I remember grandpa was just a crazy old man fantasizing about a loli Goddess all day long, was he really a wizard?”
“It’s all my fault, if I hadn’t followed those people to Eden Lake, we wouldn’t have attracted that thing and implicated you all; it’s all my fault.”
El’s eldest daughter Sarah seemed to edge closer to a breakdown.
Tears vaguely rimmed her eyes, her face filled with remorse, clearly, the “misfortune” that befell the family was caused by her.
The red-haired mother and little boy quickly moved to comfort her, and although they were enduring a pursuit unimaginable to ordinary people, the El family’s closeness and unity were perhaps the reasons they had managed to endure this long.
El, who was driving, also turned his head as if to comfort Sarah and to firm up his own belief.
“Sarah, don’t worry, I assure you that your grandfather really was a Wizard. Although he was a bit odd, I saw him casting spells with my own eyes when I was a child; it was definitely a phenomenon that science can’t explain, just like that ghost chasing us right now…”
“Ah~”
“Chhh~”
El inadvertently caught a glimpse of a Human Figure appearing on the highway while speaking; his RV was about to collide with it. With eyes wide open, El screamed and hit the brakes, instinctively turning the steering wheel sharply, luckily relying on his excellent driving skills.
The worn RV left a clear trail on the highway as the Rubber tires friction against the hard road surface filled the air with a stench of burning.
After making sure his family was unharmed, anger surged on El’s face. He directly took a shotgun from the box next to the driver’s seat, his rage boiling over as he flung open the car door, clearly out to confront that damn reckless “passerby”.
