Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 239 Look me straight in the eye!
Upon recognizing the sound as a deer's call, Yaro's first thought was that it was a white deer.

Indeed, the white deer had been gone for about half an hour. Judging by the pace of those tall elk, they should have already gone far away. Moreover, the white deer had gone in the opposite direction, making it even less likely that it would appear here.

However, the probability of two large herds of deer appearing in Perrin’s territory on the same day is extremely small!
Yaro dared not gamble, because—from the urgent cries of the deer, it was clear they were in considerable trouble!
Without hesitation, Yaro took out the Fiery Greatsword from his spatial ring, and while running, he tied up his wide wizard robe to reveal his heavy armor, and charged straight into the direction of the noise.

"Inhale~ Exhale~"

The Knight's Breathing Technique is fully activated, and abundant oxygen mixed with the power of the void continuously flows into the body, providing ample fuel for the muscles.

……

[Ding! Knight's Breathing Technique activated, stamina increased...]

……

As you run continuously, your heart pounds, adrenaline is released in large quantities, the feeling of cold gradually subsides, and your sensory perception is greatly enhanced.

This feeling is like the brain giving up some of its perception of the body and putting more of its processing power into perceiving the outside world.

……

[Ding! Catwalk Fist - Running Activated...]

……

The thorns and brambles of the plants occasionally snagged on his loose, gray-black robe, but Yaro completely ignored them and charged straight through!

Tear!

A thorny branch finally caught the robe, but it still couldn't withstand Yaro's brute force.

However, this time it was not the withered thorns that broke, but the brand-new gray-black wizard's robe that was torn open with a large tear!
Wow!
The tears multiplied, and the once pristine gray-black wizard's robe became increasingly tattered, until only a few strands remained hanging around his neck, along with a patch of tattered clothing at his back, revealing the gleaming silver close-fitting heavy armor beneath.

At this moment, the sound of explosions could be clearly heard in the swaying jungle, and a triumphant voice could be faintly heard.

"...Haha...I'm rich...fairy...five hundred magic stones..."

Another soft, gentle voice calmly advised, "You...don't go to your deaths..."

Om-!
Yaro was startled and subconsciously activated the Melting Technique. The Eye of Lava spun rapidly, and the crystalline sword gradually turned fiery red!
"Blazing Sword Technique - Blazing Fire, Charge Up!"

boom!
Sparks flew from the fiery red sword and quickly ignited, spreading rapidly into a large area. However, the flames were continuously swallowed up by the crimson lava eye in the center. When they were released again, the flames were much more vibrant in color.

"Duh duh duh—!"

The crows circling high in the sky emitted harsh, hoarse cries, which sounded exceptionally clear and distinct amidst the chaotic low bushes.

"Who?" The man in the jungle immediately became alert.

Yaro glanced at the glossy crows circling in the sky, knowing that his plan to ambush them had failed. He stopped hiding and walked out from behind the trees, finally getting a clear view of the situation.

It really is Bai Lu!
Bai Lu had been subdued and tied to a tree. Beside her, on a small branch, stood a strange man wearing a high-necked black trench coat, with an eerily pale complexion and a cold and gloomy demeanor.

On the ground, strong elk were still charging around. Only then did Yaro realize that the elk were hitting the tree trunks, as if trying to knock the trees down and rescue the white deer.

The thick bark had already been smashed open, revealing the white heartwood. However, the tree was nearly two meters wide, and even if these deer smashed their brains out, they probably wouldn't be able to knock it down.

Scattered on the ground around the giant tree were the remains of some deer. Tiny blood blisters continued to burst, emitting a faint mist and a sweet, fishy smell. The cuts on the limbs were incredibly smooth, as if they had been cut by some kind of sharp weapon.

Noticing the man's scarlet eyes, sharp fingernails, and the black shadows coiling around his feet, Yaro frowned slightly: "Blood bats?" "You vulgar wandering wizard, watch your words!" The strange man spread his hands, grinned, revealing a pair of snow-white fangs, and said with a savage smile: "I am Edmund Thomas, a member of the Holy Race born with three types of magic power!"

"Marquis?" Yaro tensed up, his attention fully focused, ready to activate the magic at any moment.

The strange man's smile vanished, and he fell silent.

Yaro raised an eyebrow slightly, relaxing a little: "Earl?"

man:"……"

A cold glint flashed in Yaro's eyes as he said with a forced smile, "It can't be a baron, can it?"

The Count of the Blood Bats possesses strength surpassing that of a high-ranking apprentice, but not quite reaching that of a formal wizard.

The viscount's strength is weaker than that of a senior apprentice, but stronger than that of a mid-level apprentice.

As for the Baron... well, the novice apprentice is really weak. If he were to fight the Baron Blood Bat, he would probably be brutally defeated.

Yaro's inexplicable skipping over the viscount's guesses truly angered the man, but noticing Yaro's gradual relaxation, he made some guesses about Yaro's strength.

Although Edmund Thomas was skeptical of Aro's strange appearance—wearing heavy armor and wielding an enchanted greatsword—he suppressed his anger and gently persuaded him, "Although I captured this fairy, since she has appeared in your territory, I am willing to offer one hundred magic stones as compensation. How about it?"

“One hundred magic stones… Ha!” Yaro sneered, continuing to build up the fire on his greatsword while considering another matter.

Since he needs magic stones, he probably knows the location of the Extraordinary Market.

So, should we cripple him before asking, or try to get information out of him beforehand?

The problem is that the intensity of the damage is difficult to control. Blood bats possess three types of magic: undead, blood, and shadow, and have three major abilities: immortality, life-stealing recovery, and shadow escape.

Unless one is highly experienced, most people can only make two choices: 'kill' or 'let go', but Yaro certainly doesn't have that kind of experience.

Not satisfied with a hundred magic stones?
Edmund Thomas's crimson eyes flashed with displeasure, but he continued to raise the price: "Then one hundred and twenty magic stones!"

One hundred and thirty!

"One hundred and fifty, that's the most I can do!"

……

As Edmund Thomas muttered to himself, he subtly extended the shadow beneath his feet toward the white deer beside him.

"what!"

The white deer's short, startled cry jolted Yarrow from his reverie.

Let's rescue the white deer first, then we can talk about everything else!
"Instant Technique!"

"Cat-Shaped Fist - Climb the Tree!"

Yaro flashed past, using the immense momentum to push off with his feet.

Boom boom boom!
"Blazing Sword Technique - Accumulated Flame!"

boom--!
The fire shot skyward.
