Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 519 The Explorer's Wealth
Yaro silently lowered his sword, and the abyssal magic that flowed through his body quietly gathered at the flight exhaust vent on his back.

—I understand now, this is an invincible force.

"Alright, little wizard, don't be so nervous. I mean no harm."

The explorer spread his hands, indicating that he was harmless.

“There were no signs outside the space, and before I came in, I didn’t know if anyone lived here. When I came in and found signs of artificial excavation, I immediately knocked on the door…”

There are traces of artificial excavation?

Yaro frowned.

The presence of signs of artificial excavation suggests that this space, like a private space within the college, has an owner.
But if this space has an owner, then did Heri and the others really wander in by mistake?
Let's think about this more deeply.

He had been attacked twice, seemingly by chance, but what if it was inevitable?
Does the owner of this alternate dimension harbor ill intentions towards Heri and himself?
The explorer continued, "Okay, I admit, deliberately triggering the alert after coming in is indeed slightly different from knocking... But you've already come in, haven't you? Judging from the result, there's not much difference..."

Is this unknown powerful figure being so kind to me because he mistakenly believes I am from this space?

Should it be set to the default?

No! We cannot accept this!

By acquiescing, one would be handing over leverage to the sinister master of this space, who clearly harbors ill intentions towards them.

Yaro's mind raced, and he denied it, saying, "This... explorer, you misunderstand! I am not from this space. Similarly, meeting you this time was just a coincidence... or perhaps not even a coincidence, but an inevitability arranged by the master of this strange space."

"why would you say so?"

"The thing is like this..."

Yaro recounted the events in general, then shared his conjecture: "My goal is clear: to find my two friends. If the master of this space can determine your location and then place my friends diagonally opposite, I will inevitably meet you."

"Is that so?"

The explorer glanced around at the tranquil surroundings, a knowing glint in his eyes.

"Well, it seems the owner here doesn't welcome guests."

"You mean he wants to use you to get rid of me?" Yaro asked knowingly.

The explorer raised his chin and chuckled, "Couldn't you just use your hand to deal with me?"

"Then he underestimates you too much."

A strange light flashed across the explorer's monocle. "No, he didn't underestimate me. He just doesn't understand the power of a formal wizard like you do."

Unlike me, do you not understand the power of a formal wizard?

Yaro was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you know me?"

"certainly……"

Yaro's heart tightened.

"—I don't know him."

The explorer stroked his smooth chin, watching with amusement as Yarrow relaxed once more.

"You seem so nervous... Is there a story behind this?"

Yaro remained unmoved.

"Everyone has their own story, though none may be as exciting as the stories of explorers, they are all unique to them."

The explorer clapped his hands and chuckled, saying, "That's right, no one's story is more exciting than the explorer's! I didn't expect you to understand this at such a young age."

"It's not that I understand this principle, but rather that I have always had a dream of becoming an explorer."

As he spoke, Yarrow respectfully performed an apprentice's bow, as if paying homage to his own dream. "It is an honor to meet you on my journey, great explorer."

The explorer reached up and, as if by magic, removed a gentleman's top hat from thin air, placed it in front of his chest, bowed slightly, and elegantly returned the gesture of tipping his hat.

"Me too, a little wizard on an adventure."

The light subsided, converging entirely on the gentleman's top hat that had appeared out of nowhere; it appeared to be a treasure of unknown function.

Yaro withdrew his gaze and looked again at the explorer, who was no longer shrouded in the dim light, and resembled an ordinary poet.

"My lord explorer, may I invite you to join me on a small adventure?" Yaro asked tentatively.

The explorer put his top hat back on, and a holy white light once again appeared behind his head.

"I'm sorry, little wizard, as I said before, I'm not a robber. Since there's an owner here who doesn't welcome guests, I have no choice but to leave."

"Don't ordinary explorers also venture deep into the lairs of bad guys?"

“I am not an ordinary explorer, I am an ‘alternate dimension explorer’.”

"what is the difference?"

"Because these alternate dimensions with owners are rare places for me to rest. In addition, they are also my precious guests."

"guest?"

“Yes,” the explorer nodded with a light laugh, “Many interdimensional masters are unable to leave their spaces, so I also take the opportunity to complete some transactions with them. This is a monopoly business, and the profits are much better than being an interdimensional bandit. Moreover, the profits are continuous and steady. I would never ruin my long-established reputation for a small profit here.”

In the eerie, interlayered space, are street vendors roaming the alleys?

Yaro was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Are you saying these things to the owner of this alternate dimension?"

"I did this for you!"

The explorer looked Yaro up and down, as if assessing something. "Little wizard, your appearance, including what you just said, proves that this space is not very valuable. On the contrary, you are filled with the aura of treasure... No wonder your family values ​​you so much."

Yarrow was not surprised by his assessment of the space.

Because of the Spider Woman's foolish behavior, Yaro suspected that there was a mastermind behind it all.

Furthermore, judging from the way the mastermind is hiding his true intentions, he is definitely not very strong.

At the time, Yaro had a vague feeling that Black Hand's strength was probably around that of a peak apprentice, but he didn't know about the operation of occupying strange spaces, so he never thought that Black Hand might really be a wizard apprentice.

What Yaro cared about was what he said next.

His entire body was filled with the aura of treasure?
Is it referring to the Demon Phoenix Golden Armor?

Or is it a spatial ring?
Or perhaps it's a ghost orchid seed, or a soul-infused black ball?
The explorer seemed to see through Yaro's thoughts and laughed, "I'm not talking about material treasures. Different strengths lead to different perspectives. Many of the treasures you see are things I can make with a flick of my wrist."

"For example, the two spatial treasures in your left and right hands respectively."

The explorer tapped the bracelet and ring with his cane.

Yaro stiffened for a moment, then relaxed and asked in surprise, "You can create spatial artifacts?"

Spatial treasures are coveted by many formal wizards and are a powerful tool for the academy to recruit formal wizard instructors.

With such skills at his disposal, what Yaro possessed was indeed insignificant to him.

"It's not difficult to begin with. As long as you find a newly formed strange spatial bubble, you can make dozens or even hundreds of spatial treasures. This would definitely be quite troublesome for others, but for me, it's not a difficult task."

Judging from your arrogant tone, I thought you could create things out of thin air like a spell.

Yaro inwardly scoffed, but feigned amazement and exclaimed, "Truly amazing!"
