Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 287 The Scorpion School
Yaro sheathed his greatsword, jumped down from the roof of the carriage, and smiled gently: "My name is Yaro, and I am a wandering wizard apprentice."

Here, Yarrow no longer refers to himself as a 'wizard,' but simply states that he is merely a wizard's apprentice.

Because Yaro sensed a subtle energy fluctuation emanating from the young man.

In other words, this strange young man may also be a wizarding apprentice.

The young man, with an indifferent expression and few words, said, "The Scorpion Lion School, the Witcher, Rhett."

The Manticore School... Witchers?

Yaro was stunned.

Isn't "Witcher" his exclusive title?

The so-called Witcher actually has different schools of thought?

This means there are quite a few Witchers!
Yaro realized that he had misunderstood, taking a certain special profession as his unique title.

This is not surprising, after all, Yaro has been here for so long, and this is the first time he has encountered this profession.

Drawing his silver dagger, the Witcher took out a white cloth and cleaned the bloodstains off the dagger, coldly saying, "You can leave now."

Listening to those emotionless words and looking at that cold and indifferent face, Yaro's goodwill gradually faded.

The goodwill was ultimately built on a misunderstanding.

Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, and a friendly greeting is met with a cold response, it is naturally difficult to maintain such goodwill.

"No rush." ​​Yaro maintained his smile and looked at the werewolf corpse in front of him.

The werewolf's corpse had many wounds with silver powder residue. Judging from the various old and new wounds, it must have been ambushed by a trap and then chased for a long time.

However, one point needs to be mentioned: the werewolf's enormous mouth still contained a large amount of wood chips, and looking around, one could also see that the bark of many demonic trees had been torn and bitten.

The werewolf didn't eat much bark, but due to its violent impact and the subsequent fight, most of the bark was torn to pieces, and it was unknown how much of the demon tree bark could still be collected from the entire wooden cart.

This detail also reveals that the werewolf did not charge in unintentionally. It was because it had suffered considerable injuries that it rushed over and devoured the bark of the magic tree, relying on its perception of magic to repair its wounds with the natural energy contained within the bark.

"However, the bark of the Demon Tree contains not only a thin amount of natural energy, but also the power of the abyss!"

"Why are werewolves unharmed after eating it, and why does it even activate their body's repair abilities?"

Silverware can suppress the werewolf's terrifying regenerative abilities, but some fresh wounds on the werewolf's legs contain silvery powder.

It can be inferred that just now it inexplicably overcame its rejection of silver and forcibly repaired the injury on its leg.

Moreover, it is very likely that this was achieved by using the power of the Demon Tree's bark.

Yes!

Yaro was somewhat intrigued by the material. He was recently preparing to explore biological structures, and this humanoid superhuman creature should be a very good subject for research.

Noticing Yaro's prolonged gaze, the Witcher looked up, his tone still calm: "This is my prey."

Upon seeing the Witcher's stiff face, Yaro even felt that the face was made of fired ceramic.

Otherwise, why doesn't that strange face have any other expression?
Because of this suspicion, Yaro's tone softened considerably. Pointing to the mess of tree bark on the ground, he looked at the Witcher seriously and said, "Look at how much damage your prey has caused me. Since it's your prey, do you acknowledge that this is the damage you caused me?"

“He did it, and you’ve already punished him, so your matter is settled. Now it’s my business.”

Although Rhett's expression was not expressive, he was quite thoughtful and not so easily persuaded by Yarrow.

Yaro denied it, saying, "You're wrong. My goal wasn't to vent my anger. I only attacked because I saw you."

"Consider it me?" Rett scrutinized Yaro's face, his eyes narrowing as if recalling something. After a moment, he hesitated and said, "I... I don't think I recognize you?"

Yaro briefly recounted the two times he had heard about the Witcher, then, while toying with the hilt of his sword, concluded, "I admire your ability to endure the absurd words of the ignorant masses and still maintain your integrity to continue eliminating monsters, which is why I took action."

"but……"

This was indeed the real reason why Yaro intervened. Yaro had no intention of hiding this issue, and he was also subtly praising the Witcher with these words.

Before Yaro could finish speaking, Rett, having just heard the word "but," immediately interrupted slickly: "So, it seems you didn't ask for anything in return when you made your move!"

"Okay, I understand. Thank you so much for your help. Can you leave now?"

The Witcher's perfunctory words almost choked Yaro, but he wasn't so easily dealt with, so he simply went along with the Witcher's words.

“I didn’t ask for anything in return for my actions, so what we need to discuss now is the issue of compensation from you after I did it,” Yaro said, looking at the witcher with a half-smile. “Someone as noble as you wouldn’t damage this truckload of valuable materials and then refuse to pay compensation, would you?”

"Valuable materials?"

The Witcher looked at the shards of wood around him, sniffed, and then realized why the werewolves had run this way. Looking at the terrifying number of broken pieces around him, even though his face was unlikely to change, his eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The fact that the werewolf recovered so quickly after eating it shows that this tree bark is indeed unusual, especially considering the quantity...

"How about... you take the reward... as compensation?"

His tone finally changed slightly.

"Bounty?"

Yaro chuckled. The little money the villagers gave him?
How much is the entire village worth?

Do you have ten gold coins?
Yaro shook his head and stated his purpose directly: "I don't need you to compensate me for anything else. Just give me the whole body."

The demon hunter finally became serious: "Why do you want this corpse? Don't you know that the bodies of these monsters are poisonous? If it's not handled properly, other monsters might emerge!"

Yaro smiled slightly: "I probably know this better than you do."

There are indeed such rumors circulating among the public, but the academy has already reached a conclusion.

If a monster's body is left lying around, its drifting energy will attract other monsters.

Some monsters also have extraordinary parasites in their bodies. When a monster dies, these parasites break free and cause even more trouble.

There is another possibility.

When a monster dies, its energy escapes, creating a high-concentration energy environment, which in turn creates a dimensional rift. However, this is the least likely scenario, as it would require an extremely powerful monster to cause such a change.
