Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 269 Serious Face

Yaro didn't know whether Bailu was convinced by his own reasoning or simply had no empathy for the Demon Tree.

She not only agreed to Yaro's proposal, but also personally cut the magic tree and skillfully classified the various materials.

"The bark of the magic tree can be used to make many potions, but unfortunately too much of the bark of this magic tree has been burned by the flames."

The white deer piled the stripped bark in front of Yaro, and thoughtfully reminded him:

"This demonic tree has been infected by the power of the abyss. If we want to use these materials to make potions, we must first cleanse the power of the abyss. Otherwise, the potion making will inevitably fail. Even if we succeed by chance, we don't know what the potion will be like."

Yaro nodded dismissively.

He has no intention of personally brewing the potions; these will all simply be materials for sale.

The bark of the demonic tree, imbued with the aura of the abyss, can be sold for a much higher value than ordinary demonic tree bark. Selling it as ordinary demonic tree bark would be a greater loss.

"These tree trunks are not bad. The power of the abyss and the magic of nature are locked in a stalemate and fused together, which has a slight resistance to the power of the abyss. It's just a pity that this material is not very useful at all."

"The power of holy light is many times stronger than this material in resisting the power of the abyss."

"The texture is too soft, at most it only reaches the hardness of balsa wood."

Upon hearing Bai Lu's description, Ya Luo paid more attention to the tree trunk, waved his hand to summon a ball of light, and peered over to examine the massive trunk.

"Similar to the immune process of organisms against viruses, is it an inert abyssal material that is eventually produced due to long-term resistance to the power of the abyss?"

The power of the abyss can indeed erode living beings and corrode matter.

Conversely, if the power of the abyss cannot be controlled or diluted, then as long as a little bit of the power of the abyss reaches the material world, given enough time, it can dissolve the entire material world—which is of course impossible.

As Yaro approached the dark tree trunk, he immediately caught a faint, sweet fragrance, like a strange, soft floral scent, or perhaps the alluring scent of a young girl.

Perhaps because it needs to retain its mobility, the wood of the magic tree is softer than normal wood and has a muscular texture.

Whether it was the temperature of the magic tree itself, the special properties of the wood, or the residual heat from the previous fire, the wood even carried a faint warmth, like a piece of peerless, warm and beautiful jade.

After inspecting the material of the tree trunks, and even secretly using the 'Abyss Contract Technique' to confirm that these tree trunks did indeed have a good defensive effect against the power of the abyss, Yaro made up his mind.

"I want these tree trunks!"

"Huh?" The white deer, who was digging up roots with wood-based magic, froze for a moment, and the vines rolling on the ground also stopped.

"Is there a problem?" Yaro looked up in confusion.

Bai Lu glanced at Ya Luo, but remained silent.

Seeing this, how could Yaro not know that the white deer was hiding something?

He frowned slightly and said seriously, "What do you need the tree trunk for? Don't worry, if you really need it, I can leave you a piece."

Although Yaro liked this material, the trunk of this magic tree was four or five meters wide and seven or eight meters high. If you include the messy branches around it, the number of trunks would be even more exaggerated.

With such a massive size, Yaro could not possibly use it all; he only needed a portion of it.

The white deer remained silent.

This is the best material for isolating the power of the abyss. If this material could be used to fill the armor, how much purification potion could be saved?
It's like knowing that taking medicine can cure a cold, but there's a warm set of clothes right next to you, so why would you intentionally make yourself catch a cold?

Moreover, the power of the abyss cannot be completely eliminated by a purification potion; it will continuously affect one's mind. If this material could be obtained, how much trouble could be saved?
Unwilling to give up, Yaro asked again, "How much do you need?"

……

How much can you give me?

……

"Could I have a branch?"...

Yaro rubbed his temples, looking exasperated, and said helplessly, "Alright, give me the rest of the materials. I won't worry about the trunk; you can use it as you like. If there's anything left over, send it to my castle later... Is that alright?"

With the other materials from the magic tree, it should be more than enough to make up for the previous losses, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

"These are, after all, the remains of her friend. It's normal for her to have empathy and compassion," Yaro comforted himself.

A glint flashed in her deep green eyes, and Bai Lu bowed deeply: "Thank you very much for your understanding, and please forgive my concealment."

Yaro smiled gently and said, "Everyone has their own privacy, and besides, this magic tree is the body of your friend. I am already very satisfied that you are willing to collect the rest of the materials yourself and give them to me."

Put yourself in their shoes: if your friend had become a ghost, and you asked a powerful person to help you destroy the ghost, would you just sit back and watch that powerful person take away the remains?

A gentleman does not take what others cherish.

Yaro never considered himself a gentleman, but he was unwilling to ruthlessly seize the remains of his friend, the White Deer, for a little comfort.

After all... haven't we already recouped the costs of making the move?
Bai Lu was deeply moved, gazing adoringly at Ya Luo, whose skin had regained some of its smoothness, and murmured, "I think... I like you."

"No! Don't say that," Yaro waved his hands repeatedly, speaking frankly without any attempt to hide his intentions, "If these materials weren't to compensate for the losses I incurred, I wouldn't have agreed to your request!"

As soon as Yaro spoke, his identity as a straight man was exposed.

The white deer stared at Yaro.

Yaro responded with a serious expression.

……

Under the pitch-black night sky, in the silent jungle, the two stared at each other for a long time.

……

"Pfft!"

Bai Lu suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, her deep, blue eyes curving into beautiful crescent moons.

"What's wrong?" Yaro scratched his head in confusion, wondering why the girl in front of him had laughed.

"Yaro!"

"what?"

Bai Lu stared intently at Ya Luo and said loudly, enunciating each word clearly, "I like you!"

"what?"

Yalu looked at the white deer with a puzzled expression.

"hey-hey!"

The white deer sat relaxed on the white tree trunk, waving its white arms like a conductor conducting a music ensemble. The vines continued to spread through, constantly uncovering the roots buried deep in the ground.

Yaro finally realized what was happening and asked in confusion, "At this time again?"

Bai Lu tilted her head to the side, her algae-green hair brushing against the breeze, carrying a faint fragrance. She playfully blinked her adorable big eyes, and her alluring, glossy pink lips curved slightly.

"Yup!"

Yaro rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, then turned back to continue sorting through the various materials he had gathered, collecting and packing up all sorts of odds and ends.
