Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 122 The pressure eases slightly
"It's all set, it's really all set now!"

Feeling the little wooden puppet in his arms, Yaro finally gained a little sense of security.

The acquisition of the Secondary Stand Puppet not only gave him a life-saving tool, but also proved that he was being taken seriously!

Applying the theory of 'sunk cost', having obtained a 'lesser substitute puppet' worth over 100,000 magic stones, in the eyes of Wizard Bosco, Yaro's value definitely exceeds that amount!

In other words, only if Yaro's value in Bosco's heart exceeds or equals the value of the 'Secondary Substitute Puppet' would the wizard Bosco indirectly give away this 'Secondary Substitute Puppet'.

After acquiring the 'Secondary Stand Puppet', Yaro's value in Bosco's eyes was equivalent to two 'Secondary Stand Puppets'.

The wanted poster asks for a ransom for the murdered mother.
[750,000 Magic Stones reward for capturing alive, 200,000 Magic Stones reward for killing]

The sunk costs that Yarrow has gained have already exceeded the reward for killing his mother!
Could Bosco the Wizard be fishing for information?

Bosco's primary motivation for issuing the warrant was to give back to the Owl Wizarding Academy. He went to such great lengths, targeting one of the academy's most talented students.

It is neither reasonable nor logical.

The chances of catching fish are still very small.

"Ordinary apprentices fight to the death for a dozen or so magic stones, while slightly more advanced treasures are worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Feeling the strange sensation of holding the puppet in his arms, Yaro, whose pressure had greatly decreased, couldn't help but smile slightly.

"The value of my life has exceeded 100,000 magic stones. Does this mean I've stepped into the threshold of becoming a great figure?"

With a secondary stand-in puppet, their own safety is protected.

Gaining the attention of the wizard Bosco did provide some help with her mother's situation.

Furthermore, he created incredibly powerful moves, and his strength greatly improved.

Stepping out of the mysterious hall and listening to the commotion on the street around the corner, Yaro felt as if he had returned to the human world.

Along the street, Yarrow casually picked and chose.

He has a lot to prepare.

For simple optical experimental setups, you'll need some quartz sand to make mirrors.

More importantly, there's the material for the blade. Although Yaro listed 'molten stone' as the material when crafting the skill book, he meant that it had to be a material of that nature, and in the worst-case scenario, 'molten stone' would still be acceptable.

'Hot stone' is just a basic material for starting fires, similar to coal. It has poor hardness and toughness. Even from the perspective of heat properties alone, there are many better options in the material store.

In addition, there is an even more important reason.

Once Yaro acquires the 'Magic Strike' technique, some details of the Flame Sword will need to be modified, and these modifications will depend on what extraordinary materials he can obtain.

There were many stalls on the street corner today, and all sorts of random things were on display. While wandering around, Yaro suddenly noticed a stall with a crystal-like fragment the size of a breastplate.

Squatting beside a stall, Yaro first picked up a crystal-clear fragment next to him, examined it for a while, but couldn't figure out its origin.

Although Yaro possessed the Material Appraisal Technique, it was still a level one trick, and he hadn't yet mastered it since it wasn't designed as a skill.

However, even if Yaro mastered it, spellcasting was not allowed at the Battle Corner Street, so he could only rely on his eyesight to judge. Weighing the small fragments, Yaro glanced at the chip next to him.

Judging from its weight, this thing could be a diamond. However, the materials in this world are so varied that no one can guarantee that it is a real diamond.

Thinking this, Yaro pointed to the chip next to him and asked the stall owner directly, "What is this?"

The stall owner enthusiastically introduced, "This is the crystallized armor of the Crystal Scorpion. Look at its perfect shape. It would be the best breastplate if it were inlaid in armor. It can also be slightly modified to make a shield, which would definitely be the best shield!"

Crystal Scorpion?
Materials produced by biological processes?
After examining the shape of the chip a few times, I must say, what the stall owner said actually made some sense.

However, Yaro's purpose was to use it to make sword hilts and blade centers; the stall owner's explanation didn't address Yaro's real needs.

Putting aside the possibility that the biological material might be diamond, the length of the chip is rather short, making it impossible to cut out a complete flame sword skeleton.

"How much?" Yaro asked casually.

If it's not expensive, you can buy it and take a look. Even if it's not a diamond, its hardness alone would make it a very good material for sword blades.

"Not expensive, not expensive, only... fifty magic stones," the stall owner waved his hand.

Fifty magic stones?

Just for a diamond that might not even be a diamond?
Yaro put down the shards and prepared to get up and leave.

Seeing Yaro's actions, the stall owner quickly grabbed him, "You're just going to leave without saying a word? Why don't you try to bargain?"

"Bargain?" Yaro glanced at the young stall owner. "How am I supposed to bargain down the price you're asking?"

Even if it were fifty gold coins, Yaro would still have to think twice. Fifty magic stones... He had previously bought various metals and a lot of 'molten stones', and he had only used less than three magic stones!
The stall owner glanced around, then leaned close to Yaro and whispered, "Try it, try negotiating a price."

Judging from the stall owner's appearance, is he short of money lately?
Yaro tentatively asked, "Twenty gold coins?"

"Take care!" The stall owner angrily retreated to his stall.

Yaro shrugged. "It's still the price you want me to pay."

Yaro glanced at the chip on the ground, then left without looking back.

Yaro doesn't necessarily need diamonds right now, since he has silver as a backup material. He can start by using silver to forge a few swords to practice with, and then look for diamonds after he's figured out all the details of the flaming longsword.

……

The measurement of the speed of light requires a very wide range, and it is also necessary that there are no obstructions between the several light sources, and that there are no other lights in the surrounding area to prevent affecting the experimental process.

These requirements could not be met by any of the academy's other dimensions, so Yaro had no choice but to submit an application to the mission center and prepare to find a suitable place in the Silent Forest outside the academy.

Finding a suitable location was indeed a secondary matter compared to crafting the equipment, but for Yaro, the few pieces of equipment needed for the experiment could be developed as soon as he figured out how to make the central rotating disc.

Having gained Bosco's attention, Yaro no longer needed to delay. He prepared to complete his current personal tasks as soon as possible and then focus on learning new things.

Yaro had long coveted the metal golem making skills that the wizard Bosco was adept at.
