All you need to do is buy this kingdom.
……
A few days later, ships laden with gold and silver docked at the port. Sailors cheered as they unloaded wealth from the ships—enough to buy the entire kingdom. The whole kingdom was talking about the mermaid princess who was about to "marry" the prince and become the queen of the country. Amidst blessings, the mermaid princess and the prince entered the hall of marriage and embarked on a happy and fulfilling life together.
As for that dark wizard?
After the mermaid princess gave him 80% of the ocean's wealth as a token of her gratitude, the mysterious and kind-hearted black wizard disappeared.

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 792 Death Has Arrived (Part 1)
A massive black metal sphere suddenly "squeezed in" into the atmosphere more than 200,000 meters above the Earth's surface, causing a shift in the surrounding airflow.
As the light and shadow distorted, another figure soon appeared below the metal sphere.
"parallel world?"
After quickly completing his observation and search of the Grey World, Hogwarts World, and Fairy Tale World, Lin Yi did not continue to use the "Boundary Breaking System" within the War Fortress for the fourth transfer. Instead, he directly had the Main God transfer the world. However, the transfer mechanism was the same as the Boundary Breaking System, which randomly selected the world.
Normally, this kind of random selection has almost no fixed boundaries, but when compared with the "Boundary Breaking System" of the wizard civilization, the difference between the two becomes particularly obvious.
The result was even more so after Lin Yi allowed the main god to invade this parallel world Earth network, which was also set in the 21st century.
Both involve random travel, but if the main god's default search scope is worlds with the concepts of "humans" and "parallel Earths," then the War Fortress's "cracking system" defaults to worlds with the concepts of "wizards" and "mysticism." From the gray leeches of the Gray World to the various simplified versions of witchcraft in the Hogwarts World, and then to the magical witchcraft props in fairy tales, all of them revolve around the concept of "wizards"... In another sense, these are also elements that can promote the growth of wizarding civilization.
"It can't be a coincidence."
A shielding force field instantly made the war fortress, which had just been "extremely dazzling" in the eyes of humans, disappear. The next second, Lin Yi directly crossed a distance of 230,000 meters and appeared on the ground. The people walking around him were completely unaware that a strange visitor from another world had appeared in their vicinity.
However, humans couldn't detect it, but beings outside of humans did, and reacted immediately.
A screw came loose, and the streetlight above him fell five meters into the air, crashing down on Lin Yi's head. However, it paused slightly midway, just in time to avoid the passing figure.
"clang------"
The loud noise attracted the attention of pedestrians. After seeing what it was, people were glad that they hadn't happened to be passing by that spot. Given its mass and height, ordinary people would have had almost no chance of surviving if they had been hit by it.
"Accident?"
After leaving the accident scene, they soon arrived at the intersection. The surrounding pedestrians still did not notice the "strange person" in the black robe, but were busy with their own lives, until a piercing scream rang out.
Looking up blankly, I saw a sports car ignoring the traffic lights at the intersection, speeding straight into the middle of the traffic at nearly 120 km/h—
Unsurprisingly, a car accident occurred.
Another "accident" then occurred. While everyone was focused on the chain-reaction car accident in the center of the intersection, a heavy truck on the left swerved wildly to avoid the congested vehicles in front. However, when the driver realized something was wrong, one of the tires was already hanging in the air, and the truck slowly fell towards the pedestrians on one side.
"boom---!"
……
Five minutes later, a large number of police officers cordoned off the scene, and ambulances rushed to and from the scene. In the accident site, which was filled with the smell of blood and gasoline, a policeman tried to find a clue from the mess... although he knew it was just wishful thinking.
All the evidence points to this being an accident, with no human intervention whatsoever; it was simply death itself wielding its blade to claim someone's life...
"Is it Death again?"
"Hey Jim, do you really believe in death? The suspension bridge incident a month ago was just an accident."
Jim shook his head: "Maybe you should take a look at this."
Upon opening the newly received video, the somewhat blurry footage showed a group of people staring ahead with expressions of fear or shock at the scene of a car accident in the center of an intersection. Little did they know, an even more horrific accident was about to befall them.
As the truck overturned, more than a dozen people were directly crushed to the ground by the vehicle loaded with supplies, and were run over and mangled beyond recognition by the vehicle's momentum.
At that moment, Jim pressed the pause button and pointed to a figure above.
"Did you see him?"
The officer next to him was taken aback, only then noticing this unexpected presence—he hadn't even realized there was another person there before.
"continue."
The moment play was pressed, the officer next to him gasped in surprise.
"He vanished! My God, how did he do that!"
"I also want to know."
----------segmentation----------
The manhole cover suddenly fell off when I stepped on it.
A roadside renovation sign suddenly fell down as I walked by.
Flower pots hanging from the top of tall buildings...
Stray dogs wandering in the alleyways...
On the street...
Inside the building...
……
In a distance of less than two kilometers, Lin Yi encountered thirty-one accidents that could have been fatal. If each one were taken out individually, it could be considered an accident, and two could be considered coincidental, but three, four, and now, even a fool would know that this is not an "accident" at all.
At the end of this two-kilometer stretch of road, Lin Yi saw a suspension bridge under repair. He learned from passersby that the bridge had been involved in an accident a month earlier, resulting in the deaths of many people. However, a company employee who had organized an outing was fortunate enough to escape before the accident occurred.
What are you looking for?
Turning around, I saw a black man appear behind me, staring at me.
What do you think I'm looking for?
The Black man smiled and softly uttered a name: "death."
Raising an eyebrow slightly: "You can help me find it?"
The Black man gestured toward the suspension bridge under repair ahead: "Go up there, and it will watch you."
A moment of dizziness washed over me; the black man from before had vanished without a trace. When I looked at the suspension bridge again, a strange and obscure feeling washed over me—the aura of death.
"...very interesting."
He retrieved a black "pistol" from a folded space on one side, and as crimson particles compressed and condensed at its tip, he aimed it directly at "death" in front of him, just before pulling the trigger—
"Hey, stop it, buddy!"
……
A few minutes later, in a coffee shop near the suspension bridge.
“My name is Jim, Jim Black, and my profession is a federal agent.”
As proof, he placed a card marked with the FBI in front of Lin Yi: "Listen, I know what you're going through right now. I know it's absurd, but you're not the only one fighting it in this world."
Looking around, Jim Black lowered his voice and said, "Death."
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 793, Part 68, "The Grim Reapers Have Arrived (Part 2)"
Since the founding of the FBI, certain “incidents” have been happening on this land.
Initially, people habitually regarded all of these events as accidents, some kind of unpredictable, irresistible, and unstoppable harmful events. However, with the emergence of certain "special cases," the FBI discovered anomalies.
"This kind of 'accident' is not an accident, but a pre-arranged 'case,' except that the murderer has gone beyond the scope of what we are fighting... Yes, that is death, both death and the Grim Reaper."
"You must know about what happened a month ago to be here."
Shifting his gaze to the suspension bridge in the distance, Jim Black said in a low voice, "Five people escaped the death that Death had laid out for them, but after that they all encountered various accidents until yesterday."
He took a newspaper from beside him and placed it on the table. On the cover was a headline printed in thick ink: "Aircraft Flight 180 Crash: No Survivors."
"His name is Sam Rhoden, a survivor in a similar situation to you. Of course, the term 'survivor' is outdated from yesterday, and now he has been taken by death along with the other four."
Only after the federal investigator had explained everything did Lin Yi calmly ask, "So, is there something you need from me?"
"...It seems you are unaware of your current predicament."
Jim Black clasped his hands together, leaning against the table, trying to relieve pressure on the "victim" before him: "You are facing the most terrifying and secretive killer in history. It can use any method and weapon you can think of to kill you. Only we have the ability to protect you now."
"Do you think this is how we can find it?"
After a moment of silence, Jim Black bluntly confessed: "I do not deny that the existence of Death has always been a hypothesis. The FBI has spent a great deal of time and effort to confirm its existence, but every time they acted, they were a step too late, including the case of Sam Rhoden. By the time we realized we should protect them, Death had already accomplished its goal, even at the cost of the lives of an entire flight."
As the conversation progressed to this point, Lin Yi became somewhat interested.
Without a doubt, the so-called "Grim Reaper" in this world does not refer to any independent individual life, but rather to a collective will similar to Alaya or Gaia. Trying to determine its existence in any way, in form or substance, is meaningless, unless they can complete a soul leap and gain a "vision" beyond that of humans... Of course, being infected by the Great Old Ones can also grant similar abilities.
But in this world, apart from himself who had just entered, Lin Yi had not found anything related to "mystery". Soul leap and evil god infection could not be activated at all. Naturally, they could not confirm the existence of "Death" in form or substance. Rather, being able to sense the existence of "Death" as they were now was the limit of what they could do.
After sensing the presence of "Death," to what extent can these destitute humans go to fight against it?
Lin Yi was quite interested in this, and now, the first opportunity to prove their "enlightenment" had arrived.
"Da da da————"
Bullets fired from outside the window into the coffee shop instantly knocked down several figures near the window. People who reacted screamed and fled in all directions, while Lin Yi took a similar action to the federal investigator in front of him, and immediately hid behind a relatively sturdy load-bearing column.
"Damn it, where did these six bastards come from?"
After confirming that Lin Yi, who was likely the only "key bait" capable of luring "Death" out, was unharmed, Jim Black quickly made several phone calls. Soon after, the sound of sirens from police cars could be heard in the distance, and the gunshots gradually faded away.
"Phew, it's safe."
"Do you really think so?"
Jim Black paused in his movement to leave the bunker: "What did you find?"
"nothing."
Beneath the black hood, the federal investigator couldn't see the expression on the "bait's" face: "I just felt that if the other party really was 'Death,' he wouldn't have made such a big oversight."
As if to prove this statement, a twisting creaking sound came from above, and to Jim Black's horrified gaze, the bullet-riddled load-bearing column slowly cracked and tilted—
"run!"
"boom----!"
The three-story building collapsed with a roar, burying those who couldn't escape under the rubble.
After a while, Jim Black emerged from the dust, looking somewhat disheveled. Just as he was about to search for Death's target, he unexpectedly found the man in black robes already standing in front of him.
"you……"
"To survive being hunted by 'Death,' one must possess some skill."
After offering a perfunctory explanation, Lin Yi asked in a flat tone, "And then? Where to go?"
"Are you willing to accept federal protection?"
"To be precise, I just want to see how you fight against 'Death'."
Without making any attempt to conceal his true purpose, Lin Yi stated bluntly, "Doesn't this contradict your goal of confirming the existence of 'Death'?"
After a moment of hesitation, Jim Black extended his hand with a relaxed expression: "Of course, I wish us a pleasant collaboration."
Lin Yi paused when he grasped the federal investigator's hand, then let go as if nothing had happened.
After the police arrived and cordoned off the scene, the two boarded a helicopter that had been dispatched from nearby and moved to what Jim Black called the "safest" place.
"Keep flying low, buddy. This helicopter could have any of those unexpected accidents at any time, and we need to make sure we can get out of there immediately if something happens."
"Yes, sir!"
After giving the pilot his instructions, Jim Black turned around and saw the man in the black robe looking up at the helicopter: "What are you looking at?"
"Don't you think it's appropriate?"
"suitable?"
"This thing——"
Wu Yiqi Baba Lengqi ⑥ Yi+qun pointed to the helicopter's rapidly spinning rotor blades, Lin Yi's tone subtle: "Used to cut people."
Thirty seconds later, accompanied by a burst of fireworks, the five-million-dollar helicopter was completely destroyed due to a loose screw on the rotor. The pilot and a soldier responsible for protection were cut into several pieces by the flying rotor. The remaining crew members never dared to ride in such a "dangerous" vehicle again.
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 794 - Death Has Arrived (Part 3)
Along the way, they experienced a series of "accidents," such as a helicopter rotor falling off, a jeep leaking oil, and an armored vehicle having a tire blowout. After losing seven soldiers, the group was forced to use the most primitive method of transportation.
