Wizard System: Dissecting a Mutated Monster From the Start

The forest blotted out the sun. Sunlight fell from the scattered leaves onto the ground, forming countless shining spots.

"How troublesome, the entire Black Forest Mountain Range is so huge, I really don't know what the young master of the Feylan Family is thinking. Going deep into the forest to look for something? What a joke! Isn't he afraid that the wild beasts in the mountains will eat him?"

"Alright, you've been paid a lot for this trip! Shut up!"

The young mercenary sitting in front of the carriage said impatiently. His companions quickly stopped him from continuing.

The old mercenary, who was about 50 years old, turned around and looked at the huge team behind him. Among them, he observed that a handsome young man on a horse did not notice them and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"He is the heir to the Feylan Family, such a person is not someone who we mercenaries can afford to offend. Furthermore, this time, the employer is even more generous than the previous one, right? Just a trip to the Black Forest is almost worth 100 gold coins!"

After hearing that, the young mercenary shook his head unhappily, "100 gold coins? How many gold coins will we end up getting?"

"The bulk of it will still end up in the hands of our leader who spends all his time resting and drinking. We do the dirty and the tiring work while he takes all the benefits for himself. Moreover, some people are just born in the right family. If I was born…"

This time, the discussion was much louder and many people were already attracted to it.

In the distance, Edward cast a casual glance at the mercenary who was mumbling in front of him. He did not say anything as his mind was focused on communicating with the system in his mind.

It had been almost fourteen years since he had come to this Wizard World that was similar to the western medieval world. His status was not bad either. He was the son of a Duke of an Empire, and was a noble!

Two years ago, when he started learning the breathing technique of the Royal Knights, the system he designed in his previous life when he was a programmer also awakened.

It seemed like it was bound to his soul during his transmigration.

Knight, system, empire, church, civilian, and nobility. In this world where war and prosperity coexisted, there were even legendary wizards and dragons.

Even now, Edward still felt like he was living in a dream. He could only slowly accept and adapt to this mystical world.

At this moment, a voice in his mind stunned Edward.

[Prompt: Mysterious power detected, increasing rapidly. Pinpointing the range!]

A hint of a smile appeared on Edward's handsome face. It seemed the legends about the Black Forest were true.

The appearance of the system not only allowed him to analyze the Knight's breathing technique that he had trained, but also allowed him to practice at least five times faster than the best of his peers.

At the age of 14, he was already a genuine Gold Knight, comparable to his father, Duke of Feylan.

Even among the reputable Royal Knights, he was considered a pillar of support.

Besides, he, Edward Feylan, was only 14 years old this year!

Reaching the Gold Knight level at such a young age was simply unimaginable. Even if one searched through the entire history of the Kingdom of Levi, there was no other person like Edward.

The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.

Edward knew what he meant and understood that he could not keep such a high profile, so he only revealed the strength of a peak Bronze Knight.

However, even though he had hidden his true strength, Edward was still ranked amongst the geniuses of the Empire, and the entire Feylan Family was proud of him.

The system was extremely powerful, and as its creator, Edward naturally knew how to use it. Its most powerful function was to analyze everything in the world.

It could analyze the characteristics and effects of various substances, whether they were helpful or harmful to the host.

It could even detect the mysterious energy fluctuations of this world!

In other words, it could sense the origin source of this world.

This mysterious power corresponded to the entity known as a wizard.

Edward touched the emerald pendant hanging around his clean and white neck. It was a gift that his mother had given him when he became a Bronze Knight a few months ago. It was said to be a legacy item of the family.

It had a calming effect.

A cooling sensation emerged from the pendant, calming Edward's restless heart.

It was this small pendant that allowed him to advance from Bronze Knight to Gold Knight without any hindrance through the system's analysis.

He still had to hide his strength. According to Edward's speculation, the first time he would display Silver Knight level strength was at least two months later.

Although to others, it was still rather fast.

According to the system's analysis, the substance in the pendant around his neck had an important connection with the existence of wizards.

Moreover, Edward's mother's family had passed down some legends about witches.

Edward was certain that it was said by those mysterious Wizards.

Since this pendant was related to the Wizards, Edward came to this Black Forest mountain range near the borders of the Empire. He made reference to the legends left behind by his mother's family and analyzed the mysterious energy fluctuations that the system had detected.

After asking around and wandering about, the system had given him a rough location.

Today was Edward's first day of exploring the Black Forest.

"Sir Edward, Kalor wants to see you!"

The one who spoke was a knight who was leading a horse. This was a Silver Knight sent by his family to protect him.

There were thirteen of them.

These knights were specially trained by his father from a young age.

They were very loyal.

Kalor was the head of the mercenary team of this expedition.

"Let him come over." Edward replied as he slowly confirmed the location of the mysterious power with the system in his mind.

Not long after, a burly middle-aged man walked over. There were faint traces of blood on the curved blade at his waist.

As a Gold Knight, Edward smelled the pungent scent of blood on Kalor the moment he passed.

Edward looked at the front of the mercenary team.

The two mercenaries who had been leading the way and chattering away had long disappeared. In their place were two thin and weak young mercenaries.

"Honorable Young Master Edward, I've already gotten rid of the annoying flies by your ears. I hope you have a pleasant journey!" Captain Kalor said as he smiled obsequiously.

Edward raised the corner of his eye and pointed at the knight beside him.

"Go find him and get another 50 gold coins."

"Thank you, honorable and generous Young Master Edward."

Edward closed his eyes to practice the Knight's breathing technique after seeing Captain Kalor return to his seat.

These minor incidents did not affect everyone present. The main group continued to move forward.

However, the difference was…

The gossip that was still going on from time to time had already vanished entirely among the people.
