Sherlock Holmes's Magician

Mi Wen transmigrated into the 19th-century Victorian era as Mistil Agrippa, the child of a minor English noble family. He thought he had transmigrated into a historical setting, but never expected that the magical items he casually made using spells from books of fantasy magic would actually work! Mistil, disguised as a girl by his late stepmother, thought he could save enough money and use his peculiar magic to escape his family once he came of age. But before he was even an adult, his father found him a fiancé and planned to marry him off at once. His father even intended to turn him into a real girl! Furious, Mistil decided to kill his father and inherit the family estate. But just then, Sherlock Holmes arrived for a visit and exposed his father's entire scheme. Mistil was just breathing a sigh of relief and preparing to bid Holmes farewell when his fiancé showed up to take him away and marry him. Mistil: ... Mistil grabbed Holmes, then tearfully told him how his father had abused and coerced him. He had no wish to marry his fiancé. He had fallen for the Holmes who saved him, and wanted to marry Holmes! Holmes wouldn't possibly be interested in him anyway, so he might as well use him as a shield. Holmes, having discovered the strangeness of the Agrippa household: To investigate the secrets surrounding Mistil, I suppose I can serve as a shield for a while. P.S. 1. I have chapters saved in advance and will update daily at noon. I'll ask for a day off if something comes up. 2. This is the original Holmes, aged 24 and just starting out. Any OOC characterization is on me. Anything that differs from the original is an original setting. 3. The magic draws on European historical magic and witchcraft. The setting is based on Victorian England in the 19th century, but is partially fictionalized and includes changes.

Fishing with Holmes, coming in July: After getting hit on the head, Billy recovered memories of his past life. Along with them, he received a reward that was already eighteen years overdue. He gained the ability to fish. But he was just a penniless, homeless, jobless orphan in the Victorian era. What could he do with this ability, sell the fish he caught? He didn't even own a fishing hook. After finally finding a discarded hook and some line, Billy used discarded fish entrails for bait and waited eagerly for a delicious fish to bite. Instead, he caught a piece of jewelry! Holmes, who had just learned that jewelry had been thrown into the Thames to weigh down a criminal's body: ??? You can fish up jewelry too? Billy was delighted to become Holmes's sidekick after Holmes discovered his fishing skills. But it seemed his talent had gone off course. He hadn't caught a single fish, only all sorts of weird things. Discarded murder weapons and bodies thrown into the river were one thing, but how could he fish up Holmes's clay pipe, too? Holmes, whose favorite clay pipe had suddenly gone missing: ... Brave Little Owl, Save Your Keeper: Magical fungi have emerged, evolved from ordinary fungi. They can bond with dying animals, allowing them to gain the abilities of the fungi they share a bond with. Those bonded this way are called magical-fungus symbiotes. Ji Xue is one such symbiote, a Eurasian eagle-owl bonded with a beefsteak fungus. The fungus gives him the power of illusion, allowing him to hide himself with ease and deliver important packages for his keeper. His keeper is named An Muxue. He's an ordinary yellow-fungus symbiote who can only resist fungal and bacterial infections, but he's a renowned magical-fungus cultivator. He has cultivated various healing fungi, such as button-mushroom fungi that increase physical strength, enoki fungi that suppress harmful magical fungi and improve the body's resistance, and oyster-mushroom fungi that transform toxins and expel them from the body. But this excellent keeper died because no one trusted him and someone coveted his abilities. By the time the maddened Ji Xue found him, he was already dead. But Ji Xue was reborn, back to the time when his keeper had just found him. He would change everything. He would make everyone love his keeper! But why did something feel off? "Muxue, can I borrow your owl? He's more useful than my whole team." "Muxue, you spend all your time researching and don't have a chance to look after your owl. Why not just give him to me?" "Muxue, I promise I'll take good care of Ji Xue!" An Muxue: ... An Muxue laughed coldly and wrapped his arms around the owl, who had suddenly taken human form. He eyed the fruiting body growing on his owl with a dangerous squint. "You've grown mushrooms, Ji Xue. Who are you trying to court?" Ji Xue, chilled to the bone: "No one!" An Muxue, even angrier: ...
