Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 597 Two-thirds of skill points
"Claire? What are you doing here?"

Yaro looked surprised.

He hadn't forgotten his identity as a 'protector' and was still thinking about resolving the underground palace matter as soon as possible so he could enjoy some fruit and watch 'Claire' fight the giant bat on his way back.

After all, for a guardian who is invisible, these are the main forms of entertainment, aren't they?
I can't believe I missed it!

Seeing that Yaro looked relaxed, Claire secretly unlocked the secret technique and nodded, saying:

"I heard a lot of noise coming from here, so I came to see what was going on."

"A sound? The soundproofing in this underground palace is terrible," Yaro muttered.

Claire glanced at the greatsword still slowly burning in Yaro's hand and thought to herself: Poor soundproofing? You have no idea how much noise you've made.

Without discussing the issue further, Claire turned to ask:

"Lord Yarrow, is this Viscountess Corey's lair? Have you dealt with her?"

Yaro extinguished the magic of the Fiery Greatsword, placed the scorching crystal greatsword aside, took out a purification potion, and carefully swallowed it, saying:
"I can only say that I killed her again, but when I killed her, I always felt that her reaction was not strong. Not only did she not come up with any new methods, but she also kept talking to me about ridiculous questions like, 'Why can't I let her go?'"

Didn't she know that even without her previous sins, just this time, the six mummified corpses of young girls in the underground palace were a just cause for her death?
Not to mention my 'loyal' deputy steward of the territory, who inexplicably appeared here, which shows that she is still eyeing my territory.

It was clearly over a thousand experience points, but much less than the experience points I got from killing her last time. I don't know if it was because she had a weak will to resist.

Or is this all the strength she has left?

...No, last time it was only a few minutes, and it was just a dried-up corpse. It should be the time before last, I think I got more than 4,000 experience points that time.

After a careful calculation, Yarrow realized that he had actually "killed" Viscountess Corey three times?
They're so troublesome. Why can't they just die cleanly?

"By the way, where's Bevan?"

Yaro still vividly remembered the lesson from last time: he had left the white deer in what he thought was a safe place, but it was still captured by the Viscountess.

“It’s on that mound of earth behind there. I’m going to pick him up now.”

Claire pointed behind her, and Yaro looked in that direction.

Although it was somewhat dark here, you could still vaguely see that there was indeed a figure in that spot.

"No need, I'll go right now. You can go down and clean up the mess; there are still a few survivors down there," Yaro said, waving his hand.

……

After hearing what had happened inside the underground palace, Bevan said with concern:
"Teacher, if she's still alive, will it affect our plans?"
After all, since she lives in this area, she must know the surrounding environment very well and must know that there is no 'Remains of Mending the Sky' nearby.

She must hate us now.

"When we promote the 'Remains of Mending the Sky,' will she deliberately contradict us? Will she intentionally sabotage our plans?"

Yaro drank the purification potion nonchalantly and said:

"She says it's not true? I could say he's hiding the most important and powerful martial arts of the 'Old Man Who Patches Up the Sky'!"

After all, the carved characters are real, and the martial arts techniques depicted on them are also authentic.

Once others practice it, they'll find it's truly effective.

Do you think others believe her that the 'Remains of Mending the Sky' is fake, or do they believe us that she took the 'Old Man Mending the Sky's' most important treasure?

“But since she has a residence here, and it doesn’t look like it was built temporarily, she must have some social connections, right? Other people must also know that there are no ‘Remains of Mending the Sky’ nearby,” Bevan questioned. The Viscountess Corey’s scheme to harm Bevan’s mother was definitely premeditated; otherwise, it wouldn’t have happened to coincide with a disaster in other regions, and so conveniently encompass the entire Earl’s territory.

But such a scheme did Viscountess Corey no good at all; in fact, she lost a precious item in the process.

Motive-wise, she must have had some connection with the local wizarding families.

Yaro said, "Putting aside whether Viscountess Corey will expose this residence, even if others find out, it may not necessarily be a bad thing."

Those who could associate with Viscountess Corey were either not her kind of monsters, or wizards from the Fernando or Lanelli wizard families—all groups that possessed extraordinary powers.

If they knew there were no 'Remains of Mending the Sky' here, they would think the whole thing was a joke.

This would lead to a disregard for martial arts, which in turn would give martial arts an opportunity to spread widely.

Anyway, the target audience for the martial arts I designed is ordinary people, the middle class of ordinary people. It's never the professional soldiers who want to have extraordinary power but don't have the means.

Moreover, facts speak louder than words.

What most people care about is not whether the ruins of the sky-mending site are real or fake, but whether the martial arts techniques found in the ruins are real or fake.

Similarly, what I care about most is martial arts, and spreading martial arts.

Hearing this, Bevin temporarily suppressed his worries.

As long as it doesn't interfere with the teacher's plans, it's fine.

He then asked curiously, "Teacher, could you tell me about the battle that just took place underground?"

"There's not much to say. It was a complete stomp. We just charged straight in and killed our way through. The only thing we did was exchange a few words with Viscountess Corey at the very end."

However, the gains were considerable.

Yaro glanced at the experience bar.

……

【LV24:24392/33000】

……

After completing a dungeon run, I gained over 20,000 experience points, which is roughly two-thirds of my skill points.

Those blood-red bats were all quite powerful, and there were many of them.

Even at the very end, ordinary bats, after absorbing the blood from the underground blood pool, actually transformed into new, blood-red giant bats.

These new crimson bats are likely products of magic; each one has only a few dozen experience points, yet their strength is almost identical to the previous crimson bats.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Viscountess Corey had no means; it's just that her methods of resistance were particularly laughable in the face of Yarrow.

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

"You don't need to do anything, just watch your father's performance. Our work as protectors is over."

……

Although the underground palace had already been cleared by Yaro, Claire did not let her guard down easily and cautiously ventured deeper into the maze.

The underground palace's paths were exceptionally sticky, the air thick with a nauseating, pungent stench of blood, and the ground littered with severed limbs and debris. Furthermore, some terrified ordinary bats chirped and squeaked in various corners of the underground palace.
