Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 457 - 436 Mysterious Event Archive

After leaving a piece of advice for the unfortunate "otaku," Tang Qi’s figure appeared outside the building.

A wisp of Magic Power gathered at his fingertips, lightly marking a check behind the task information of the "Eating House."

At the touch, what seemed to be an ordinary piece of paper for the task list showed an Extraordinary response; Magic Power Runes surged and gradually formed a mark resembling a question mark, indicating that someone would verify the task later, and after confirmation, the task reward would be directly issued.

For an ordinary Transcendent, the rewards brought by the third-level Eating House task were extremely generous.

But in Tang Qi’s case, it could only be said to be better than nothing.

After all, when he was truly in need of money, it only lasted for a short while, now those Skeleton Pirates on the Gold Mine Devil Ship had begun to earnestly salvage the Cursed Gold, hoping to exchange it for Extraordinary Rum with Tang Qi.

"The Evil Spirit in the Eating House has average attack power, but a very powerful Spirit Illusion; most Professional Transcendents can exempt themselves from it and kill it. Ordinary students in schools can probably only fend for themselves; Noah and the others, with preparation, should be able to kill it."

"So, this is the Federation’s general Mysterious Side danger level setting?"

Tang Qi gazed at the dense bounty task list, pondering.

Then, his gaze did not move upwards beyond third-level, but instead shifted downwards.

Tonight, apart from hunting, he had other purposes.

Almost instantly, Tang Qi selected another task.

The ghost light portal opened once more.

The next moment, Tang Qi’s figure appeared on a street with nice scenery—Dallas Street, located at the junction of the Main City and Lower City District, also a residential area, but most of the tenants here were wealthier middle-class people.

"Dallas Street, number twenty-eight, third floor, the eighth room in the regular order, Mr. Donald Shelly reports a strange painting... Danger Level: Level 2."

Tang Qi glanced at the information on the task list while counting the rooms.

Knock! Knock!

A polite knock on the door failed to open it; only a thread of light peeked through the peephole.

"Mr. Donald Shelly, I am a special advisor from the Church, here to inquire about the painting."

As he spoke, Tang Qi casually flipped out an ID and held it steady in front of the peephole.

The ID was real.

In fact, most Transcendents related to official and Church affairs could receive a similar ID, just at different levels.

Undoubtedly, Tang Qi’s was of the highest level.

The door opened quickly, and an old man with a face full of fear appeared in front of Tang Qi.

He wore a bathrobe, his gray-white hair was very messy, his nose a bit large, but his features still retained the handsomeness of his youth; if he groomed himself a bit, he would be a handsome old gentleman.

"It’s right there, hurry, take it away, as long as you can take it away, I’ll give you a thousand Gold Coins, no, I’ll give you ten thousand."

The old man couldn’t hide his fear, almost roaring as he pointed to a properly hung painting on the wall.

Tang Qi, who was almost sprayed with saliva, took a few steps forward directly in front of the painting.

Donald Shelly’s reaction was mentioned in the task information.

"The task target was originally a well-known art broker who lived in a wealthy area. During one speculative activity, he acquired a painting called ’The Woman in the Wedding Dress.’ Since then, the painting has kept following him; regardless of whether it was damaged or sold, the painting would restore itself and follow him around."

"And after the incident, his business plummeted, his fortune shrank drastically, he invited some Spirit Mediums and Spirit Summoners, but all were helpless. The Church highly suspects the painting has been inflicted with some kind of passive curse, with Donald Shelly as the trigger."

"Another unlucky person!"

Muttering to himself, Tang Qi’s gaze concentrated on the painting.

Just like in the description, it was a red-haired woman in a white wedding dress, thick lips painted with bright lipstick, possessed very thin eyebrows, which made her look somewhat fierce; from any angle, one could meet a pair of terrifying eyes.

Tang Qi blinked and turned off his Special Ability.

He also decided not to use Melting Furnace Power or other means.

I’m simply acting as an ordinary Transcendent, acquainted with some fire-related witchcraft.

Gazing into those dreadful eyes, I slowly approached, extending a finger, only to see the Flame Spell erupt with a "whoosh".

The flames endowed with Extraordinary Power were about to touch the painting.

Almost instantly, Tang Qi saw the woman in the painting come "alive". She turned her head, staring straight at Tang Qi, her eyes offering a bone-chilling warning. Those thin eyebrows, like a pair of hooks, and her vibrant red lips slowly opened.

"Ah~!"

A scream echoed throughout the room.

An invisible sonic storm raged violently, the exceptionally piercing noise continuously burrowing into Tang Qi’s ears.

"Damn it, you meddlesome fool, how dare you interfere with my hunting, how dare you threaten the noble Lady Lana, you lowly, filthy insect... Donald, stupid Donald, stop him quickly, kill him."

Among the shouts, Tang Qi turned his head.

As expected, he saw the old man called Donald, who had, at some point, become vacant-eyed, wielding a kitchen knife, viciously hacking towards Tang Qi.

Faced with this mutant change, Tang Qi, as if already aware, casually dodged, while resolutely enduring the sonic waves, surge forward, another hand reaching out to tear the painting down, fully casting the Flame Spell.

Boom!

Although it was only a "Flame Spell", the Extraordinary Power within still caused the Evil Spirit formed by the curse in the painting to suffer immense pain, wailing as it perished, amidst a wisp of black smoke that mingled within, floating toward the outside of the house, just at the brink of success.

A flaming palm casually slapped down, and amid the sizzling sound, the Curse Smoke dispersed as well.

"Low-level curse, with sound wave attacks, capable of inflicting psychic attacks on ordinary people, Noah and others should be able to resolve it independently."

Tang Qi nodded towards Donald Shelly as he came to his senses, while walking outside, assessing the situation.

This was his purpose tonight, in addition to hunting.

Merada Special Education School was gradually beginning to show the atmosphere of a major Extraordinary Organization.

And one of the signs of such an organization is the capacity to issue a multitude of bounty tasks, as well as dispatch people to solve them.

Tang Qi opened an "Extraordinary Practical Combat Class," but among those dozen or so people, including Nidya and Shay, these Level 5 Danger Sources, they all possess immense potential, with each one in the future at least being a Professional Level Expert.

This was the reason Tang Qi set up the course, they were qualified to receive higher-level guidance.

But the rest of the students would hardly have the opportunity for such guidance.

Therefore, following the practice of the Ancient Castle Bureau, the Church, and the official way of nurturing a large number of mid-level Transcendents, it became necessary.

As thoughts surged, Tang Qi had already walked out of the building, casually marking a check on the task list, as the question mark symbol appeared, Tang Qi’s gaze moved downward, a large number of Level One Tasks emerging, in addition to that, there was a wealth of information on tasks, extremely brief and without labeled danger levels, but rather an "unknown" Mark attached.

Not just the mission table of the Church, but that of the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Investigation Bureau as well.

Another evidence of manpower shortage, the mysterious event surge has outpaced the three major organizations’ speed of cultivating Transcendents.

A multitude of unknowns met Tang Qi’s eyes, his face reflecting a hint of unusualness.

Unknown, means danger.

It also means opportunity, the students can accept tasks from the three major organizations, but establishing their own Mysterious Event database, as well as a corresponding bounty task list, is also an urgent matter.

For an ordinary Extraordinary Organization, it would be a huge project from scratch.

But the Witch School is different.

A vast silhouette immediately flashed through Tang Qi’s mind, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.

But the smile quickly faded, it was just an initial idea.

Before formally starting to build the database, Tang Qi decided to personally explore each type of task and the evaluation methods, and incidentally add some Fuel, the Melting Furnace seemed a bit hungry.

"Tonight, is going to be busy."

As his words fell, Tang Qi’s figure disappeared once more.
