Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 331 The Eve of Parting
The first glider that Yarrow built did not have a control panel.

Given the limited materials and time constraints, it was more like a large kite than a glider, and Yaro was simply tied to that large kite.

The cold wind blows high in the sky.

A rope that's constantly binding you.

The control process requires constantly shifting the body's center of gravity to prevent the hang glider from crashing.

That kind of experience is enough if you do it once.

The animal hide glue was too dark in color and not hard enough. To improve its transparency and hardness, Yaro first wove a wide-mouthed metal mesh with steel wire, and then poured a thin layer of animal hide glue onto the surface of the metal mesh.

Even after the animal hide glue solidified, the final product still did not satisfy Yarrow.

You can indeed see the outside through the animal hide glue, but it's like having a dark filter applied, making everything look blurry. This is even with charcoal filtering; the color is even darker before filtering.

"Never mind, as long as it works, it's fine."

Yaro didn't have a better solution either. Anyway, it was used to observe altitude in the sky, and everything in the sky was clearly visible, so that was about enough.

As for the takeoff and landing phases of the glider, a switch can be added to open the front windshield made of animal hide.

Anyway, these are just temporary uses. Once better materials are found, they can be replaced at any time, just like disassembling glass.

"Heli, go and get me some cashmere," Yaro said, wiping the sweat from his brow after adjusting the size of his glasses. "And tell Assistant Butler Dylan to prepare some dumplings. I'm actually quite hungry."

Dumplings have somehow become a staple food in the castle, and because they are easy to reheat once cooked, they have also become an essential quick meal option for Aro in emergencies.

"Ok."

……

"He's in the Vashi Mountain Corridor? I wasn't even going to give up tracking him, and now he's practically delivered himself to my doorstep?"

"Are you going to make a move?"

"I won't refuse food that's practically in my mouth."

"He's wanted for killing a certified wizard. Should we wait for me to come and help?"

"To kill a fully-fledged wizard only when they were at their weakest, relying on treasures given by other fully-fledged wizards? Anyone could do that."

"You couldn't have missed seeing him in battle, could you?"

"Are you unhappy that after tracking him for so long, he ended up near my family's territory?"

“If it were just me, I would be unwilling to accept it, but with so many people failing to find it, I would only feel schadenfreude. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to notify you immediately. I’m worried about you now, my old friend.”

"I am a qualified hunter."

"Well... good luck?"

"Of course, you too."

……

"Are you spies from the San Fernando Empire, or... traitors?!"

You already know the answer in your heart—don't you?

I thought you wouldn't answer.

"I will leave no way out, neither you, me, nor them, none of us."

"Very well, then..."

"kill!"

...After coating the entire surface with anti-corrosion white paint, the hang glider is considered complete.

Looking at the final product, Heri, who had dozed off several times, was so excited that she was fully awake.

"It's so beautiful, just like a big white dove!"

indeed.

Although Yaro did not initially consider the appearance, even if it was only based on wind resistance, the streamlined appearance he created was still very beautiful.

The long, slender wingspan of over four meters, the small fuselage shimmering with metallic silver light, and the slender tail... to Yaro, it didn't look like a white dove at all, but rather more like a large white moth, or perhaps a dragonfly.

If you look closely, it resembles a prop from a movie I watched in a past life—the small flying machine in "Castle in the Sky" that was filled with childlike innocence and dreams.

Unfortunately, what Yarrow made was still within the realm of hang gliders, and the space under the fuselage was very small, so you could only lie down inside, not sit like you would when flying an airplane.

“My lord, why don’t you paint it in color? Wouldn’t that look better?” Heri clenched her fists, her bright eyes gleaming.

color?

Are they colorful pigeons?
Yaro had no idea what Heri was thinking, but he still explained seriously: "The so-called color is actually the reflected light. The brighter the color of the paint, the less sunlight it absorbs, and the lower the temperature of the internal materials will be."

For this reason, most airplanes are white.

"Alright, I've finished making things. You should go to sleep now."

Hearing Yaro's gentle words, little Heri remained silent for a long time.

Although Yaro would leave from time to time, he would never leave any special instructions before leaving.

Having experienced today's instruction, little Heri was able to sense some differences.

"My lord... could you... not leave?" Little Heri's voice, barely audible, was still clear in the quiet night.

Yarrow looked around the various small objects in the laboratory: vises, wrenches, hole punches...

There were also comfortable reclining chairs, half-eaten dumplings, and leftover wire, animal hide glue, steel nails, pivot rivets, white paint...

Over the course of several months, Yaro became increasingly comfortable in the laboratory, with improved clothing, food, and accommodation.

Everyone in the castle obeyed Yarrow's orders; they practically revolved around him.

This situation, this place.

If possible, Yaro would also like to stay here for the full year of his lease.

but……

“Didn’t I say that I would come back every few days to pick up the prepared materials? It’s not like I’m not coming back,” Yaro said gently, without revealing the real reason.

Little Heri mustered her courage and asked, "Then... sir, where will you be living from now on?"

Coming back every few days sounds like a clear indication that he won't be staying in the castle any longer.

“Don’t you remember the first lesson I taught you? ‘If you don’t know, you don’t exist.’ I don’t need to tell you, but I have my reasons,” Yaro explained patiently.

Once you become an advanced apprentice, you can project your mental energy outwards; in other words, you can use your mental energy to sense the mental fluctuations of others.

If there are specific spells, it is even possible to directly extract other people's memories for a short period of time.

The more Aro talks to mortals, the more dangerous it becomes not only for Aro himself, but also for them.

“My lord…” Heri hesitated. She was very reluctant to part with him, but dared not say anything more.

Yaro smiled gently and said, "Alright, go to sleep. Don't think too much. In your spare time, you can study the stone I gave you. Didn't I tell you how to make electricity before? You can also try to make a generator using the things in the laboratory."
