Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 278 Accident
"...To the right of the Viscount's territory is the kingdom's directly controlled territory, and between the two lies a primeval forest, which is where we are now."

"A little further ahead, you'll come across several interconnected main roads and some scattered villages."

"Viscount Corey has now deployed most of his troops to the castle area, which is unlikely to be heavily fortified. In addition, the forest is quite vast, so even with checkpoints, it's impossible to defend every location."

"Once we reach the main road in the middle, we can take the main road..."

bump!
The wooden wheels bounced off the hard tree roots, the carriage suddenly jumped up, accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound, and the bark of the demonic tree tied to the back fell off.

Yaro reacted quickly, catching the white deer that was about to fall with one hand. At the same time, he adjusted his body and used the weight of his golden armor to counteract the tendency of the deer cart to overturn.

Bang!

Amid the girl's screams, the carriage crashed down, sending up a flurry of floating leaves.

At this moment, upon hearing the voice of the white deer, the elk cried out in panic, but they were unable to break free from the reins. They only caused the carriage to sway, resulting in more and more bark from the demonic tree falling out.

On the swaying cart shaft, Yaro released her soft, boneless little hand and casually asked, "Did you bump your head?"

"No."

On the other side, the white deer dressed in a long robe came to its senses and quickly jumped off the carriage, reassuring the deer in front and behind: "Don't panic, my companions, I'm fine."

Seeing the bark of the demonic tree scattered on both sides, Yaro sighed inwardly, but had no choice but to obediently get up and pick it up.

The only good news is that, apart from a few broken pieces of bark, the rest are neat, long strips, making them easy to pick up and stack.

Before long, the girl who had calmed the deer came over and hurriedly helped tidy up. At the same time, she nodded slightly and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I was distracted again just now."

“After all, I asked you to help, so I shouldn’t have said this,” Yaro said with a wry smile as he straightened the bark on the wooden cart. “But… the jungle roads are difficult to navigate. If you can’t concentrate on clearing the way and keep stopping and starting like this, it might take us two days just to get to halfway down the main road.”

A glint flashed in Bai Lu's amber-like eyes. She didn't refute, but simply replied softly, "Okay, I'll pay attention."

As Yaro tied the ropes, he asked, "Is there something difficult?"

The white deer silently picked up the tree bark scraps on the ground, the image of the little abyss sprite lingering around it flashing through its mind.

A little abyss sprite that has lost its extraordinary abilities should—nothing unexpected should happen, right?

Yaro noticed the worry in the white deer's eyes and reminded it, "If it's something I can help with, just ask!"

During this time, the white deer has been helping Yaro hunt wild goats from time to time, and has been using magic to make all kinds of spices to go with the meal. Later, it also helped to dig up the white whiskers of the magic tree, instructed the elk to transport the bark of the magic tree, and now it is clearing a path for Yaro in the dense forest... There are so many kinds of help it has given!
In return for the favor, Yarrow also wanted to reciprocate in kind.

"Does that include helping me with the results?" Bai Lu covered her mouth and chuckled mischievously.

Yaro rolled his eyes and then asked, "Is it because little Heri told you something?"

“That little girl did give me a song and told me to sing it to you after I learned it,” Bai Lu said, then suddenly covered her mouth, her bright eyes curving into two crescent moons, like the eyes of a cunning fox. “I almost forgot, she told me not to tell you about it until I learned it.”

"Did you do this on purpose?" Yaro looked at Bai Lu speechlessly.

Bai Lu smiled slightly without explaining, turned to look at the carriage, her white palm glowing faintly with green light, and softly hummed, "Take Root!"

The wisps of light fell onto the tree roots on the ground, briefly activating them, causing them to wriggle and burrow into the earth.

Yaro stood with his arms crossed, watching her actions quietly, a sense of anticipation growing within him.

What song will Heli teach Bai Lu?
What will the white deer's singing sound like?

After Bai Lu finished her work, Ya Luo climbed onto the carriage shaft and said, "I'll be looking forward to this song."

"Could you forget these words before I sing them to you?"

"This might be a bit difficult."

"Lord Benson, it's that forest!" The ragged middle-aged serf pointed to the dense forest ahead, his eyes gleaming with greed and excitement.

The tall, imposing silver-armored knight remained expressionless, his voice unusually cold: "How dare you call Benson that?"

The middle-aged serf looked up abruptly as if electrocuted, and saw a snow-white blade that expanded larger and larger in his pupils.

puff!
Heads flew off, blood splattered everywhere!

Sheath the sword.

Sir Benson coldly ordered, "Soldiers, spread out and surround this area. Do not allow any living thing to escape from here!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The soldiers obeyed and left.

"The rest of you start driving them away, don't miss any corner, level all the bushes inside!"

The servants who managed the serfs also brandished their long whips.

At this moment, Sir Benson beckoned to the steward beside him.

The steward trotted over, bowing and scraping, and said humbly, "Sir, what are your orders?"

Knight Benson glanced at the ground: "Does he have any family?"

The steward quickly replied, "Yes, he also has two children under the age of six."

"Grant those two children the status of free citizens, and give them the gold coins I promised," Sir Benson said nonchalantly, flicking out a gold coin that glided in a semi-circle before falling into the pool of sticky blood.

"I never go back on my promises."

"You know what to do, right?"

The steward, sweating profusely, hurriedly picked up the filthy gold coin from the pool of blood, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Understood, I will personally deliver this gold coin to them!"

"Go down."

Just as things were settling down here, a commotion suddenly erupted in the jungle.

A guard in full armor rushed over: "Sir, it...it came out by itself!"

"You found your way out on your own?" Sir Benson was slightly taken aback. He had already felt that the exploration process was going smoothly, but he did not expect it to be so smooth.

Viscount Corey had connections with some extraordinary beings, and Benson, as Viscount Corey's personal knight commander, was also aware of the value of elves.

He dared not delay and immediately stood up: "Where is it? Take me there right now!"

Led by the guards, Benson soon saw the strange little man swaggering out, surrounded by a crowd.

The little man's facial features and body shape resembled those of a stunningly beautiful woman, completely naked, with a pair of strange dragonfly-shaped wings on his back.

"Is this what a little elf is?"

This was the first time Sir Benson had ever seen such a legendary creature. "But... why does she have so many strange black lines on her body?"
