Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 215 Perrin Castle (Thanks to Bai Yaozi for the support!)
The fastest way to earn magic stones is to find a bizarre space that touches upon reality.

Each eerie space is like a magic stone mine with certain risks.

However, every eerie space that an apprentice can enter is not only high-risk, but also attracts a large number of apprentices, which is not in line with Yaro's low-key style.

The second is hunting monsters.

The money you earn from raising a cow is definitely less than what you earn from hunting a wild buffalo.

Hunting can be considered a risk-free business in some respects.

Yaro's immediate goal is naturally to deal with the Demon Tree, but this does not conflict with his exploration of the deep pit.

Although Bard called it a deep pit, judging from the extent of the detour, it's more accurate to describe it as a sinkhole.

There is a high probability that it contains monsters.

Judging from the fact that Claire was able to live on both sides of the sinkhole, even if there are monsters in the sinkhole, they are not very strong, and it is also a good opportunity to make money.

The fact that Bard and the others are called "Deep Pit" is somewhat misleading. Considering that Claire doesn't know much about wizards, the possibility of other wizards being among them is relatively small.

Moreover, given its name "bottomless pit" and its large area, its interior space must be quite large, making it an excellent location for building a hidden laboratory.

……

Owl Wizarding Academy.

The classrooms on the teaching floor and the top floor of the building have all been connected and transformed into a brand-new conference hall.

The seven official wizards continued to flip through the documents in their hands, while Bosco, directly in front of them, was giving a final summary of the academy's reform plan:

"...There are six grades in total. Only after passing the assessment in the sixth grade can one be allowed to graduate."

"As grade leaders, formal wizards will not conduct any courses other than mental power detection and high-risk knowledge courses."

"Subsequently, intermediate and advanced apprentices will serve as secondary mentors, and you only need to manage these intermediate and advanced apprentices."

"All the eerie spaces were arranged and organized, divided according to their level of danger, and each grade and class was assigned to enter in batches."

“Each entry will be led by a secondary mentor. In the event of a death, the team leader must provide a specific reason and reserve the right to hold them accountable.”

……

Bosco put down the documents in his hand and looked up at the other wizards: "That's all. Do you have any questions?"

An old man rose shakily and asked in a hoarse voice, "Bosco, you've summoned us back, but what about those businesses? And the Crimson Wizarding Order, they've suffered many casualties. With our return, they're very likely to destroy those businesses in retaliation!"

Bosco shook his head and said, "That's why I only summoned the seven of you back. I didn't touch the wizards in the main core industries."

"Given the drastic changes our college has faced, we have no choice but to make some trade-offs with our external businesses."

Looking at the seven worried wizards below, Bosco reassured them, "Those parasites have been eliminated. We have more than enough resources. In fact, because a large number of magic stones were found in their alternate dimension, the academy will not have to worry about magic stones for nearly twenty years."

"Even if we are downgraded to Three Leaf Thorn Academy, it won't have a big impact on us. It might just be a little more difficult to recruit students later on."

"These are areas where you'll have to put in a lot of effort."

"If this plan is indeed feasible, the success rate will be greatly increased, and many wizards will send their offspring to our academy. Why should we worry about not being able to return to Two Leaf Thorns?"

……

Inside the power core of Owl Academy, Bosco, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes and nodded to the suit-wearing clown beside him, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Tedes."

The clown in the suit, stroking his chin with one hand, turned his head and asked, "Have you finished explaining?"

"Everything has been explained according to the plan we discussed, so I can now focus on wearing down the magic array."

“By the way,” Bosco suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile, “Lord Tedes, is there any chance for Yaro to become a junior tutor at the academy?”

"That's quite a bold idea!" The clown in the suit chuckled. "He's still wanted by the Jungle House, and you're thinking of bringing him back as a junior mentor?"

Bosco unleashed a surge of powerful magic, flowing through the rotating gears around him, then transforming into a gentle force that softly erased the various magical runes etched upon them. A deep voice followed:
That's why I was in such a hurry to get out.

"Once I get out, I'll take a walk around the Jungle House."

"Hopefully... it's not too late."

……

Thin branches stretched out from both sides of the country road, spanning the road above, but were completely ignored by the Scaled Horse, which charged recklessly and broke them all.

Judging from the thickness of those branches, this place hasn't been abandoned for very long.

A closer look reveals some broken branches on the road, their cross-sections slightly yellowed, which actually indicates that these branches have oxidized. The slightly yellowed broken branches on the ground suggest that they were cut not long ago, probably within the last couple of days.

As the Scaled Horse continued forward, with the help of the bright sunlight, a layer of gray-black could be vaguely seen on the ground, and the surrounding trees were relatively low.

In the verdant and golden forest, a few thick, carbonized tree trunks stand scattered about, with slender vines climbing up them, their lush green leaves trembling slightly in the winter sun.

A small river flows along the right side of the road, and as the river continues, dark ruins gradually appear around.

Judging from the scattered ruins, this was once a peaceful town. Perhaps at this time, many children were playing and laughing in the streets, and some elderly people were quietly enjoying the sunshine, smiling as they watched the noisy children.

However, no matter how prosperous the past was, it cannot cover up the desolation at present.

Stubborn blades of grass stubbornly sprouted from the corner, swaying gently in the breeze, as if declaring that they were the true masters of this place.

In the abandoned and collapsed building, a carbonized beam stands crookedly, like a discarded and broken banner.

Several squirrels were still jumping and playing on it, enjoying the rare warmth of winter.

Judging from the squirrels' carefree appearance, they must have stored up a lot of nuts for the winter.

Yaro couldn't help but feel delighted—when he was feeling peckish, he could consider following them and get a taste of what the nuts of this continent tasted like.

"Lord Yarrow, this is the town of Perrin, and Perrin Castle is in the middle."

Bard looked around with a complicated expression: "We escaped from the encirclement of those shadow monsters by igniting a big fire."

Following Bard's direction, Yaro looked up and saw a dark and old castle.

The castle remains intact, but the main gate has been damaged, with fresh marks from knife cuts and fire, likely caused by Claire a few days ago.

Perrin Castle isn't large, but Yarrow inexplicably felt a sense of the enormous castle where his grandfather lived.

Time, shadows, and—the vitality of life.
