Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 301: Choosing a potentially worse future, or choosing death?

On one side is a mysterious and unpredictable curse, and on the other is a deep pit where no remains of the dead.

Is it better to choose a potentially worse future, or to choose death now?
There's no need to overthink this.

With Yaro's comforting promise, the crowd even lined up, one after another, to let the ball of light press against their chests.

With everything settled, Yaro left gracefully, leaving behind a large number of soldiers who sat helplessly on the ground.

"Do you think... that adult might be lying to us?" a soldier asked absentmindedly, tugging at a blade of grass.

The guard, already in a bad mood, angrily retorted, "Lie to you? Look at yourself! Do you even deserve it? What kind of power does that lord possess?"

Everyone fell silent again, and the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive.

A soldier looked up and asked timidly, "Would cow dung work?"

“That’s a method for witches, and besides, we don’t have… blood.”

……

The older soldier glanced around and broke the tense atmosphere with his voice: "Why don't you just not say anything? The lord just said that the curse will disappear in just three days."

"Three days? If the guards find us, they'll take us to Viscount Corey immediately. We can't wait even a day!" The guard's eyes were bloodshot as he paced back and forth, appearing extremely agitated.

The older soldier denied it, saying, "No! We will have time. You all know what that lord asked earlier. He will definitely go to Lix City, and... the commotion he causes will be quite significant. Viscount Corey won't be able to attend to us for the time being."

"I've already thought about it."

"While we have this time, let's go back and bring all our families out. Then we'll head this way, going deeper and deeper into that jungle. We'll find a flat spot halfway up that mountain to set up camp. After a few years or a decade, who will know where we came from?"

……

……

"Lix City?"

The white deer lay on a dilapidated carriage, savoring the slightly tongue-twisting melody, its emerald eyes sparkling with doubt.

"Yaro, what are your plans?"

"What do you think we should do?" Yaro asked with a smile as he tidied the carriage. Bai Lu's physical injuries had healed, and his mood had improved considerably as well.

Because the bone injury has not yet healed, the white deer can only stand and move with the help of vines, but its healed skin, entwined by the roots, shows an unusual allure.

Bai Lu looked at the carriage that was being prepared and guessed, "Will they take me with them?"

"I was thinking of taking you to the castle first, is that alright?" Yaro said tentatively. On the way back, he had already thought of a general solution to what would happen next. He didn't want Bai Lu to see anything bloody.

"No, I will go!" Bai Lu shook her head and said firmly.

Got it!
“So…” Yaro shrugged, saying helplessly, “I have no choice but to take you with me.”

The white deer dislikes the castle, but sending it back to the deer forest now is not appropriate.

As for the tree spirit...

On the one hand, there is no direct road, making it inconvenient to travel to and from the area.

On the other hand, Yaro still didn't believe the tree spirit.

“But…” Bai Lu frowned slightly, her delicate face full of worry. “Yaluo, you seem very emotional.” She bit her lip and said hesitantly, “How about… we rest for a while?”

Yaro answered irrelevantly, "You should also know that we can't delay now, right?"

The longer the delay, the wider the area where the lost item might have been. We cannot afford to waste any more time in order to find the item.

“But…you…” Bai Lu didn’t know what to say. The feeling that Ya Luo gave her now was even more serious than after the last battle with the blood bats.

“Alright, don’t worry,” Yaro put the reins on the horse, his face still bearing a faint smile. “Look, I’ve changed my armor back. I won’t use the power of the Abyss in the battles to come.”

"lie!"

Bai Lu forced a smile, pouted, and exposed Ya Luo's lie for the first time.

I almost forgot about the fairy's innate abilities!

"Alright, alright, if I really encounter a powerful enemy, I'll still use it," Yaro blinked, gesturing a gesture of the universe at his fingertips. "Really, just once!"

Bai Lu naturally didn't know the implication; all she could see was that Ya Luo hadn't lied this time.

“Actually… it’s better if you don’t use it. Although I don’t know why the power of the abyss has such a weak effect on you, this effect always exists. The more you use it, the more you will get used to this effect, which will strengthen your connection with the abyss, and the final consequence will be…” Bai Lu paused, biting her lip lightly, and did not continue.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

How could Aaron not know this principle?
only……

This is currently the strongest means of dealing with enemies. If we continue to hold back these methods when we encounter a truly powerful foe, the consequences could be even more dire.

Is it better to choose a potentially worse future, or to choose death now?
This question doesn't need much thought—doesn't it?

Yaro sighed inwardly, "The time for settling down is too short. There is still too much room for improvement in my body. I haven't digested and absorbed many of the tricks I exchanged. I can't even use a single offensive trick. And I haven't even been able to configure the bombs yet."

For this reason, in the short term, they can only continue to use magic attacks as the final move.

Shaking his head slightly, Yaro did not reply, but simply said, "Alright, come on up. We can talk about it on the way."

“By the way,” Yaro looked at the pair of long, slender legs wrapped in vines, “would you like me to help you into the carriage?”

Bai Lu tilted her head and answered frankly, "Sure!"

hateful!

I almost forgot that she doesn't have a normal mindset regarding the differences between men and women!
Well, even Yaro couldn't say for sure whether he was feeling frustrated or something else.

But deep down, he felt a secret joy, like he was stealing candy, because of this little thing.

As the soft, fragrant flesh nestled in his arms, Yaro's muscles inexplicably tensed.

Even while wearing armor capable of withstanding temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius, fine beads of sweat appeared on his skin due to the cool, warm jade in his arms.

"Are you nervous?" The girl in his arms asked, puzzled.

"No...cough...it's alright." Yaro almost forgot about that talent again.

"You're very nervous!" A hint of understanding flashed in the girl's beautiful eyes, but she was also very curious. "Why are you nervous?"

Yes, in my past life I had been guided by so many teachers, so why would I be nervous about such a trivial matter?
I have failed my teachers' guidance!
Lost in thought, Yaro had already carried the girl to the carriage in just a few steps.
