Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 3 The Strange Family

In a side room of the castle, Fana dismissed the surrounding maids and approached the trembling David.

Fana took the baby Yaro from her hand and carefully examined him for a moment before raising her head and saying coldly, "Mr. David Garner, you studied at the Wendell Academy of Wizardry for six years and successfully brought back Ms. Nicole and had the baby Yaro. I am very grateful to you."

David muttered, "Ms. Fana, the Wendell Academy of Wizardry is not a matchmaking organization."

"Moreover—six years is too long for blind dates."

"Mr. David, you actually know about these things?"

Fana looked surprised. "Then why, after six years of study, do you still not know the difficulties that superhumans face in conceiving?"

be cheated!
David realized what was happening.

"The activation of witchcraft involves energy radiation. A powerful witch can even cover his dwelling with the spreading energy radiation without using witchcraft, thus producing a material activation effect."

Fana explained for a moment, then looked at David and said:

"A newborn's soul is not fully developed, and their body is not yet mature. Their fragile soul can be easily shattered by energy radiation, and their delicate body can also be stimulated by energy radiation, resulting in various mutations..."

Little Yaro watched the two quietly; he could tell that it was the maid giving instructions.

What's happening here?
An elderly maid is scolding the castle's master.

Is this normal?
Could it be that I am not the heir to the castle?
Why did those maids have such elegant wings on their backs?

Is my father invisible?

Fana, unaware of the many questions swirling in the mind of the little Yaro in her arms, glanced at David and said, "I'll remind you again."

"Your wife, Ms. Nicole, even drank a potion specially made for prisoners to suppress witchcraft for the sake of this newborn."

"Your father, Lord Pakhz Ghana, had long heard of the birth of little Yaro and specially dispatched five official knights to repeatedly enter and leave this small castle, just to hear about every little thing that happened to little Yaro each day."

"But due to old age and physical weakness, and the increased radiation of energy in his body, even with such love and longing, he dared not come to visit in person."

"In this case, esteemed Mr. David Garner."

"You—you actually held little Yaro in your arms and performed witchcraft on him so intimately!"

"Do you know how serious the impact this could have on little Yaro?"

Arro looked up, completely bewildered. Although he couldn't understand the language of the new world, he could still recognize his new name.

Is it because of me that this maid is scolding her father?

David argued, "What I just cast was 'Illumi Refraction Concealment,' a spell specifically designed to hide oneself. Spells that conceal oneself naturally have very weak energy fluctuations."

"I still release it from within my body, and the resulting energy fluctuations will not differ much from the energy fluctuations in normal conditions."

"This level of energy fluctuation won't have any impact on Xiao Yaluo."

Fana said with a half-smile, "I am but a poor knight, of course I cannot understand the noble knowledge of wizards. I only hope that you can repeat what you just said to Lord Pakhtz Ghana later."

David was shocked: "What! My father... knows about this?"

"I cannot hide this matter from my master."

“Ms. Fana, you can’t do this!” David wailed in anguish. “Do you know what he’ll do to me?”

Hearing the excited tone and seeing the exaggerated expression on his face, Ya Luo couldn't help but wonder if his father had done something wrong and was going to be severely punished.

How can I become invisible without others noticing?
Are they some strange race?
The complex memories of his past life gave Xiao Yaluo a powerful ability to make associations, but while enhancing his ability to accept information, it also made it more difficult for him to judge the current situation.

The problem is... I haven't discovered that I have any strange abilities, have I?
Yaro composed himself.

Now I need to think of a way to help my father in this life. I haven't grown up yet, and my father is my best protector. He can't fall down.

Oh right, when I screamed in fright just now, this maid immediately responded.

In the past, I was often fed by this elderly maid.

If it weren't for the fact that she dressed the same as the other maids and worked with them every day, I would have thought that this was my grandmother in this life.

In this case……

"Where is the wind...?"

Little Yaro, in a weak voice, imitated David's shouts.

Hearing his own soft, sweet voice, Xiao Yaluo couldn't stop feeling ashamed.

He didn't really want to make that sound, but he was too young, only half a year old, and his vocal cords hadn't even started to develop yet.

Furthermore, Xiao Yaluo deliberately concealed this fact, having barely uttered a sound since birth, as his new body was completely unfamiliar with how to make sounds.

……

"What? You want me to fight a knight without using my mental powers?"

Ms. Fana, ready to end her pointless conversation with David, picked up little Yaro and turned to leave.

"I think it's good, you can even do it a few more times, it can really train your combat awareness."

“Not just knights, but all of them! He’ll send a whole bunch of knights to gang up on me!” David wailed repeatedly. “No, Ms. Fana, Aunt Fana…”

Seeing this, Xiao Yalu stopped trying to adjust his voice and quickly pulled up the older maid's collar, blinked his eyes, and spoke in a childish voice.

"Law...!"

Ms. Fana froze and stopped in her tracks.

“This…” David looked at Xiao Yaro in surprise, and the room fell silent.

Yaro's heart tightened, and he pondered anxiously.

Did I do something wrong?

Do not!
I kept quiet for more than six months for my own safety.

But I am just an infant. If something happens to my father, how can my family be safe without him?
For my father's sake, my exposure is definitely worth it!

Besides, I'm already six months old, so it's not an exaggeration for me to make two simple sounds now... right?
“F...ah!” Little Yalu murmured, repeating the same phrase.

David shuddered, looked up and said with a wry smile, "Alright! Looks like you don't need to inform him, I'll go find him right away."

……

That day, David left the castle. When little Yaro saw David again the next day, he almost didn't recognize his father if he hadn't changed his clothes.

Needless to say, his face was bruised and swollen, and even his usually cherished and meticulously styled golden hair was now completely gray and black.

The dog-chewed hair also emitted a burnt leather smell.

In the days that followed, Yaro found that his treatment had completely changed, and the peace he once knew was gone forever.

Various scholars frequently came and went around, and began to teach little Yaro, who was still in his arms, all sorts of boring knowledge.

Why do I say it's boring?

Just by looking at the drool dripping from the corner of my father's mouth, I can roughly understand it.

Yaro even categorized the boredom of the lessons based on how quickly his father fell asleep.

The highest level can be called 'Professor of Eyesight'.

That is, the father went to sleep as soon as the scholar entered the room.

Even the weakest can be called a 'lunch professor'.

The scholar had been speaking for about half an hour when my father started nodding.

...Father!

Don't even think about ever building a great image in front of me in this lifetime!

Your poor academic performance was exposed far too early!

David wasn't the only one who was bored; Little Yaro was bored too.

He really didn't understand what this family was thinking. Was it reasonable to teach a baby who was only a few months old?

I can't understand a word of it!
It's not that he can't understand the content; he can't understand the language at all. He can only barely glean some understanding from the few depicted images. Keep in mind, he's only ever uttered two words in his entire life!
The first one is "Dad". Xiao Yalu only said it a few times because he saw that Dad took him by his side every day and had worked hard for him even if he hadn't done anything good.

Secondly, there was the "Fana" that Xiao Yalu shouted a few days ago... although the pronunciation wasn't quite normal.

That's right, he never even called her 'mother'!
How could someone who has never practiced speaking learn a new language so quickly just by listening?

Speaking of which, my mother in this life is also very strange. I have never seen her since I was born, but her voice often echoes in the castle.

"Little Yaluo, do you miss your mother?"

Look, that sound is coming again!

What the hell? Suddenly a voice echoed in my ear, but I couldn't see anyone else around. If it were a normal baby, it would probably have been scared out of its wits.

Xiao Yalu rolled his eyes. He had heard this sentence too many times and could roughly guess what it meant.

He ignored it and instead turned his head to push aside the flimsy object that was blocking his view.

My father is so irresponsible! He actually let such a big maid carry me. Doesn't he know that she's too big and will make my life very inconvenient?
As Xiao Yalu was secretly complaining, David, who was taking a nap in the side room, suddenly woke up, jumped up, ran to the window, saw the beautiful figure outside the castle, and immediately ran outside, shouting happily, "Nicole, you're finally back!"

"Yes, I'm all ready and I'll be there right away!"

Nicole's face was unusually pale, as if she hadn't been in the sun for a long time, but her damp brown hair and brand-new clothes showed that she had just washed up.

David stepped forward and, seeing Nicole's haggard face, said with pity, "I told you long ago that you didn't need to be so demanding. Look, there are quite a few formal wizards in the academy who don't go to this level when they have children!"

Nicole wasn't in a very good mood, but her face was full of excitement. She said nonchalantly, "I actually agree with what your father said. Since we've discovered that energy fluctuations can affect babies, we naturally have to do our best. As long as little Yaro is healthy, that's all that matters."

"Anything that is discussed in terms of toxicity without considering dosage is a lie."

David muttered to himself in frustration, but if his reasoning had convinced Nicole, he wouldn't have acted the way he did before.

"What happened to your hair? You're not as handsome as you used to be. You've lost a percentage point in my eyes!"

Nicole stared at David's head, laughing as she walked and talked.

Less than half a month had passed since David used witchcraft. Although the swelling on his face had subsided, his hair had not yet grown back in full.

"Huh? Huh?"

David dared not confess what he had done. Although he thought it was not excessive, he knew that telling the truth would only make him uncomfortable. So he changed the subject and talked about something else.

"What did you just say? Oh, right, shall we go check on Little Yaluo?"

Hearing this, Nicole perked up, clasped her hands to her chest, and turned around with a look of longing in her beautiful eyes. "Where is Xiao Yaluo? Let me see him! He must be so cute now!"

……

In the study, the middle-aged, balding lecturer was speaking with great enthusiasm and passion, but after watching for a long time, Xiao Yaluo realized that this 'professor' was actually teaching mathematics, and even mathematics at the first-grade level!
You're dressed so neatly and formally, yet you're just a primary school teacher.

Although Xiao Yalu was complaining in his heart, he listened attentively for a while.

After confirming that the mathematics in this world is also decimal, and having barely memorized the numerical symbols from zero to ten, and also confirming that the plus sign in this world is the same as the multiplication sign in my previous life.

Xiao Yaluo helplessly discovered that what the 'professor' taught him afterward was of no benefit to him whatsoever.

But at this moment, the young maid holding little Yaro listened with rapt attention; for her, this was an opportunity she could never have come across.

One was talking enthusiastically, and the other was listening attentively; the two were remarkably in sync.

Poor Jaro, he found himself surrounded by the ball again without even realizing it.

Hearing that inexplicable, impassioned tone and feeling the gentle atmosphere around him, Xiao Yaluo's eyelids involuntarily drooped.

Young bodies tire so easily!
Xiao Yalu sighed for a moment, shifted his body to make himself more comfortable, and then prepared to rest.

stomping on...

After a few months of adjustment, Xiao Yaluo was able to immediately recognize that it was his father's footsteps, mixed with another set of unfamiliar footsteps.

Is Father here?

Is it time for outdoor exercise?
Little Yalu lazily closed his eyes.

Whatever it is, I'll deal with it after I wake up. Right now, I'm the third oldest in the world.

Who would dare to cut back on my outdoor time?
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, his body suddenly lifted into the air, and the sudden feeling of weightlessness quickly woke him up.

"My little Yaro!"

……

Amidst the cacophony of voices, a large female face came into Xiao Yaluo's bewildered eyes. Before he could react, the large face had already intimately approached and was kneading his small face.

Uh...

The space was constantly shaking. I managed to catch a glimpse of my father walking towards me from the corner of my eye, but I didn't detect any tension on his face. Instead, I saw a hint of pity.

Then I saw her constantly comparing the features of the two, as if to say, 'This looks like me, that looks like me...'.

It wasn't until Xiao Yalu noticed a familiar and comforting heartbeat that he realized what was happening.

Is this—my own mother?

It's no wonder it took him so long to think of her. He only saw his mother once on the day he was born. His eyesight hadn't developed yet, and if he hadn't had the memory during his ten months of pregnancy, he might not have recognized her now.

"Wow wow."

Little Yalu casually called out twice, giving his mother some face as a way of greeting her.

Unexpectedly, his unintentional shout elicited a huge reaction. He saw his mother excitedly talking to his father, her face full of a smug, silly smile, and her eyes filled with doting affection as she looked at Xiao Yaluo.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the bald 'professor' next to him was a little at a loss. After looking around, he mustered up his courage and said, "Mr. David, since Madam is back today, I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave now."

Nicole looked up in surprise, only then noticing that there were other people in the study.

When David returned with the person, Nicole couldn't help but ask, "David, who is he? Is he your friend? What happened this time?"

"No, this is the teacher who taught Yarrow."

"What?"

Nicole's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "Teach Yaro? Did I hear that right?"

“This is my father’s wish.” David avoided talking about his own actions and spoke frankly about everything else.

In short, Yarrow might be a genius.

Upon learning of this, Nicole became even more interested, completely rejecting David's genius training plan. She then dismissed the teachers and began to personally tutor them.

On the first day, Nicole kept repeating "call me Mommy" in Xiao Yaluo's ear. Whenever she saw Xiao Yaluo open his eyes, she would run over and start chanting, as if she would never give up until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled.

At this moment, Xiao Yalu finally understood the feelings of Sun Wukong in A Chinese Odyssey!
A single sentence keeps repeating itself in your ear... It's even more brainwashing than a catchy song!
From day to night, Xiao Yaluo was exhausted and mentally disoriented. Inadvertently, he blurted out, "Teach me!"

Then, Pandora's box was opened.

Nicole seemed to never need to sleep. Day or night, whenever Yaro woke up, Nicole would immediately appear and constantly teach him various words.

In just three short months, he successfully learned the language of this world and was able to communicate with his mother.

But this is just the beginning of another nightmare.

"Little Yaluo is amazing! He can actually hold the bottle and drink by himself!"

"Mother, please shut up."

"Little Yaluo is amazing! He actually knows how to put on his clothes!"

"Mother, please leave!"

"Little Yalu is amazing, he's actually pooping a hard poop!"

"Mother, please shut up and get out!"
