Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 132 The Charm of Language

When Yaro revealed the chosen address, Bosco seemed lost in thought, uttering only two indistinct sounds: "Jeddah..."

Yaro looked up in confusion: "Teacher, what did you say?"

Bosco snapped out of his reverie and gave a carefree laugh: "When a person is about to die, they are prone to getting caught up in their own memories, and even I, as a formal wizard, am no exception."

Bosco: "Never mind that, can you tell me why you chose that?"

Yaro was taken aback. Judging from Bosco's words, was there something wrong with this place?
Yaro quickly explained, "I checked the data and found that the other exits are all very close to human towns. Only Exit 4 is not near any towns. The most suitable location around Exit 4 is here."

Yaro: "The crater's maximum diameter is about five kilometers. I can freely adjust the distance in the middle of the experiment along the crater. There are no plants or animals on it, so the equipment and experiments won't encounter any interference..."

The most important reason is that it is very close to the Silent Forest, so if you encounter danger, you can get the fastest rescue from the wizard Bosco.

“Alright, alright,” Box waved his hand repeatedly, interrupting Yaro’s incessant explanation, and joked with a smile, “I only asked one question, why are you answering so many questions?”

Bosco: "Stop talking to me about the principles, just tell me when the experiment will start, and I'll go see the actual product."

Is the location okay?
Seeing Bosco's expectant face, Yaro could only suppress his doubts and give a rough timeframe: "I will move the equipment over tomorrow, then adjust the experimental equipment, and we can start the experiment after dark. If everything goes smoothly, we can get the results that night."

The reason we were able to get results in just one day is largely due to this circular crater. If we had conducted the experiments on different mountain peaks in the previous life, the time spent just traveling back and forth to adjust the equipment would have been incredibly wasted.

Bosco immediately made the decision: "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow night. You go back and prepare the equipment!"

Yaro had no choice but to comply and leave.

Watching Yaro's retreating figure, a smile crept across Bosco's wrinkled eyes as he muttered to himself, "Old buddy, you're someone I can't help but like..."

……

Back in the lab, Yaro got to work in earnest.

He needs to hurry up and get everything sorted out so he can get some rest. Once the experiment starts tomorrow, he definitely won't have time to rest from day to night. But he also needs to be in good condition during the experiment to ensure he doesn't miss any changes that occur.

While Yaro was busy with these matters, another group of people were not resting either.

Oliver maintained his expert posture, arms crossed, leaning against the outside of the cave, eyes closed in meditation. Green light burned in the sockets of two dull skulls, which held a worn bone axe in their hands, surrounding him warily.

Deep inside the cave, Jida was being mocked by a skinny boy who looked like a boy:
“We’ve all signed notarized contracts with you, and you still can’t trust us. Yet you actually trust that person outside?”

Jida drank bottle after bottle of 'blood replenishment potion', letting the blood drip continuously from his wrists, his face even paler than Olive's.

Watching the blood gradually soak into the magical patterns on his body, Jida remained unmoved and replied:

"They suddenly find me, reveal my biggest secret, and then present me with a fair contract. Do you think such a thing is trustworthy?"

The skinny monkey looked around at the quiet outside world, then turned back and asked:
“There is no conflict of interest between us. You need your great-grandfather’s spatial ring, and I need this nurtured alternate dimension. With the guarantee of a fair contract, why shouldn’t we trust it?”

Jida said calmly, "Because only equality of power can maintain the normal operation of the contract. Even an unintentional mistake by the strong can lead to the utter destruction of the weak."

"Don't try to fool me. I know you're a senior apprentice, but whether I'm facing you or the academy, I'm the weaker party. But from the academy's perspective, you're the weaker party, so only by relying on the academy's power can we maintain an equal balance of power."

"As for Olive... he wouldn't dare kill me at the entrance of the academy. This is not like the strange space. If I die, the academy has plenty of ways to extract information from me, and he may not be able to escape responsibility."

“You can easily deal with me, but you can’t deal with Olive… no, you can’t deal with the official wizard behind Olive.”

"Only in this way can we achieve a balance."

The skinny monkey clapped lightly, a strange smile playing on his youthful face, and praised in an admiring tone, "So this is the bloodline of a formal wizard? Truly outstanding!"

Jida shook his head in denial: "No, this is just the survival strategy of the weak."

……

In the academy's faculty area, in a place where the stars shimmer, a clear, melodious girl's voice is speaking.

"...Bosco is too old, he has reached the limit of his lifespan. I do not deny that he was once valiant and extraordinary, but at this moment, he has also fallen into the old ways of an ordinary old man, unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, and soft-hearted... He is actually protecting some things that he should not protect at all!"

That's the charm of language.

Often, even if you can't say certain things, you can still describe them in a roundabout way.

Dora wanted to target Yaro, but bound by the contract with the Beast of Justice, she couldn't describe it directly. So she targeted Bosco, describing his incompetence and weakness, and the others naturally understood the implication.

A charming chuckle suddenly rang out, and a beam of light shone down from the shadows, revealing a graceful figure.

A clear female voice said sternly, "Alice, don't you know the rules of the secret meeting? Once you reveal yourself, you will be expelled, and the secret meeting will no longer accept you!"

“I’m so tired of these boring parties,” Alice said, squinting at the mysterious shadows around her under the lights, a hint of sarcasm on her red lips. “Bosco has relinquished power and no longer controls you, and what about you? You’re still used to hiding in the shadows, used to enjoying the little bit of safety the shadows provide.”

"Have you gotten used to this kind of life now?"

Alice extended her fair, jade-like arm, her delicate fingertips lightly touching the air. A slight smirk appeared on her face, yet it was like a friendly jest, making it hard to feel any aversion.

“I will withdraw from this pointless secret meeting and deliver a heavy blow to Bosco while he is still alive, instead of playing this little game of hide-and-seek with you all.”

“Or…” Alice looked at a shadow in the main seat, “using ridiculous methods to target that easily manipulated apprentice?”

Aside from the first recruitment attempt, Alice's subsequent attempts were all initiated by her daughter on her own, so there's nothing wrong with that statement.

Not to mention, sometimes everyone has their own purpose in saying these things. As long as the purpose is achieved, what does it matter if a few lies are told?
Goodbye, everyone!

Alice giggled and blew a kiss before disappearing from sight.
