Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 11 Fatherly Love is Like a Mountain Collapse

At night, Xiao Yaluo lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Whenever he closed his eyes, he kept recalling the scene of himself giving orders and directing the work methodically during the day.

I'm so awesome!
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary citizen. When had he ever done anything so impressive?

Thinking of his parents' amazed looks when they returned, the town's continuous expansion, its development into a martial arts mecca, and the secret creation of various high-tech products... Xiao Yalu couldn't help but roll around in his blankets, overwhelmed with excitement.

pat!

Little Yaluo, who had rolled off the bed, quickly got up and cautiously looked around.

Shhh~
"Luckily no one saw it."

Little Yalu quickly climbed onto the bed, shrank back under the covers, and as she recalled her earlier behavior, her face gradually turned red. She quickly covered her head with the blanket.

Having memories of more than twenty years from his previous life, why would he still make such childish moves?

It must be my young body that's affecting me!

He couldn't help but gently pat his own face, reminding himself, "Yaro, you need to be more composed. Go to sleep quickly, there's a lot to do tomorrow."

Forcing himself to close his eyes, he lay flat on the bed for only a short while before the fatigue of the day overwhelmed him. Xiao Yalu's breathing gradually became steady, and he quickly drifted off to sleep.

……

After an unknown amount of time, two dark figures, one human and one cat, appeared at Xiao Yaluo's bedside.

"David, did you see that just now? Little Yaro is so cute!"

That was Nicole's voice, but it came from the black cat's mouth.

David, dressed in a dark robe, was unfazed by the situation. He snorted, crossed his arms, looked down at the head of the bed, and said arrogantly, "He's stupid. He made all the arrangements but didn't send anyone to inquire about the origins of these disaster victims."

For some reason, David just couldn't get along with Xiao Yaluo. In fact, his happiest moments were when Xiao Yaluo was in trouble. For example, when Xiao Yaluo was learning to walk, David would laugh the most when Xiao Yaluo fell down.

Perhaps this is the ill-fated relationship between father and son.

Nicole defended him, saying, "He's still young and hasn't handled things much, so it's normal for him to have some shortcomings. Look at how well he assigns tasks and handles matters. If he were among ordinary nobles, he would definitely become a good lord."

"Have you found out anything? Who are those people? How did so many of them get through the jungle outside?"

The old castle and the new castle are only about ten miles apart. Each time a message needs to be delivered, two official knights are needed. How could so many ordinary disaster victims have survived?

David nodded and said, "Most of them are still normal disaster victims. As for the cause, it has something to do with us."

The black cat looked up, and Nicole asked hesitantly, "You mean... the pervasive mist?"

"That's right, they were all forced to flee because of the pervasive fog."

Nicole didn't dwell on the issue of the Fog Realm, but instead asked, "Then how did they escape to here? There's a wild forest between us, with no main road and it's extremely dangerous."

"When they set off, there were more than this many people; these are the survivors who were eliminated. The reason they chose this route and still have so many people left is because there are a few wolf cubs among them. These people who were lured in are their specially prepared food."

The black cat stood up, and Nicole asked anxiously, "Wolf cubs? Are they werewolves that can reach the level of an intermediate wizard apprentice? Have you taken care of them all? With the spread of the mist realm, who knows how many insects will be driven out? It's too dangerous to leave little Yaro here alone!"

"Don't worry, I came back specifically to take Xiao Yaluo to the old castle. As for those wolf cubs, except for one, the rest have all been eliminated."

David lowered his head and explained, "The strength of the soul lies in knowledge. Most of the books in the study have been read by Xiao Yaluo. In terms of his knowledge reserves alone, many eight- or nine-year-old boys are far inferior. His soul strength is definitely sufficient."

"As for his physical strength, Nicole, you should know that even though he's young, he already has a lot of muscles. If he weren't so young, he could try to activate his life seed and become a trainee knight."

“We can’t stay here. Xiao Yaro’s level in both areas is above standard. We can take him to the old castle and let his father protect him.”

"So I specially kept a wolf cub so that it could tell Xiao Yaluo the truth about the world."

Nicole considered it for a moment, then exclaimed in admiration, "David, you've really thought this through. This is indeed our best choice."

“But David… hiss…”

Nicole's voice suddenly became ethereal.

"Nicole, don't worry, leave the rest to me. You can rest easy. Gemma is almost at her limit."

The black cat opened and closed its small mouth, but could not make a sound. It could only nod helplessly, its body went limp, and it fell to the ground.

A moment later, the black cat wobbled to its feet, shaking its head in pain: "What are you all talking about? Why did it take you so long to torture me?"

David smiled slightly, covered his chest, and bowed very politely. "I'm sorry, Ms. Gemma, for disturbing your rest. I'll leave now. Have a good dream."

The black cat said irritably, "Hurry up and leave. Seeing you makes my head hurt even more."

……

"Teacher Gemma, Teacher Gemma, you're still not up? The sun's already high in the sky!"

The black cat lazily opened one eye, too lazy to pursue Xiao Yaluo's further offense, and yawned wearily, saying, "If you have something to say, say it quickly; if not, go read a book yourself."

“Teacher Gemma, don’t you remember? We decided yesterday that you would come with me today to find a tall tree. I want to climb up and see if there are any suitable places around to build temporary shelters for the disaster victims.” Xiao Yalu also wanted to take this opportunity to get a clear look at the surrounding environment and make plans for the future development of the town.

Actually, Xiao Yaluo had wanted to leave the town to see for himself, but he was too young and the risk of leaving the town was too great. None of the guards dared to agree, so they had no choice but to make do.

"Did I?" The black cat opened its eyes in confusion, its tired brain gradually starting to function. "It seems... I did promise."

Xiao Yalu urged repeatedly, "Let's go, let's go! Teacher Gemma, let's go and come back soon, we still need to come back for lunch."

"Hey~"

The black cat shook its head and got up helplessly.

“There’s a big tree not far from the town’s main street. Come on, I’ll take you there.”

Xiao Yalu excitedly followed, his mind preoccupied with the disaster victims, and he didn't notice the black cat's unusual behavior.

On the way, Xiao Yaluo met several townspeople who had gone out together. After noticing Xiao Yaluo's clothes, the townspeople greeted him happily.

"Good day, young master Yaluo."

“Young Master Yaro did a good job. Those despicable disaster victims should have been driven out long ago.”

"Exactly, in my opinion, those kids should be kicked out too. They don't look like good people."

……

Most of these townspeople carried axes, both for self-defense and because their purpose in going out was to cut timber to repair their houses.

Peaceful expulsion is a rare occurrence in this world. Yesterday, Xiao Yalu arranged for his guards to expel the refugees, which inevitably involved confrontation and fighting. Naturally, some houses were damaged in the process.

However, judging from the attitude of these townspeople, at least they have no complaints about it; on the contrary, they welcome it very much.

Xiao Yalu smiled and nodded in response, but was secretly pondering the subsequent handling of the refugees.

The initial expulsion of refugees was not intended to appease the townspeople, but rather to prevent further conflict between them and to facilitate subsequent management.

However, this process could indeed hurt the refugees' fragile emotions, and we must follow up with our subsequent outreach to prevent them from misunderstanding.

The black cat squinted and said, "It's this tree. I've tried it before. Once you climb to the top of this tree, you can see the surrounding area of ​​the town clearly."

The tree has a trunk that is too thick for five people to encircle. Looking up, the sky is filled with lush green leaves, making it difficult to see the top of the tree. All that can be confirmed is that it is indeed a large tree.

However, while this tree is indeed considered tall in the town, it would be nothing special in the forest outside.

But for Xiao Yaluo, it was just enough; he only needed to be able to roughly see the location and area of ​​the surrounding open space.

With that in mind, Xiao Yalu stretched a bit and climbed up directly.

The black cat looked up, yawned, crawled to the ground, and rested its head on its forepaws.

“Ms. Gemma…”

The black cat looked up and saw that repulsive smiling face again.

"What is it, David?"

David weighed the sack in his hand and chuckled, "I'm preparing a gift for little Yaro. Can you come out with me?"

"A gift?" The black cat sniffed the sack, its expression changing drastically. It arched its back, raised its tail, and stared nervously at the sack. "The stench of wolf cubs!"

"You captured a werewolf and gave it to Xiao Yaluo, and you want me to stay away with you? Are you planning to send this wolf cub a feast?"

“I am Xiao Yaluo’s father, I would not harm him.”

The black cat looked firmly at David, "I am Xiao Yaluo's teacher, you must give me an explanation!"

“Alright, alright,” David waved his hand helplessly. “Little Yaro’s teacher, don’t worry, I’ve already tampered with Little Wolf. This is just a live-fire exercise, you don’t need to worry at all.”

The black cat glanced at the sack in David's hand, paused for a moment, and said, "I won't go far."

"Don't worry, I will use the 'Illumi Refraction Invisibility Technique'. You can stand behind me, and even Little Yaro won't be able to find you."

The black cat frowned slightly. "Do you want to be beaten by your father again? Did you enjoy not being beaten last time?"

“Even if he finds out, he won’t beat me up, because Xiao Yaro’s soul and body are strong enough to support his initial wizarding studies, and this gift is a test for him.”
