Wizard: I brought the wrong system.
Chapter 373 The Wind Rises
Chapter 373 The Wind Rises
The mountaintop is about forty meters above the ground, which is about the height of a fifteen-story building. There are straight rocks on both sides, and there is no way to get up there.
The more crucial point is—since there are guards on the mountaintop, is it necessary to build so many watchtowers in the camp?
No matter what happens, can't the guards on the mountaintop see things more clearly than those in the watchtowers a few meters high?
"Could it be... that the Fernando family's spies aren't in the camp, but hiding up there?"
Yaro adjusted the structure of the 'Feather Fall Technique' again, aiming to raise the water sphere as high as possible.
After several attempts, a suitable mountain breeze finally arrived, and the water balloon barely managed to fly over the height of the mountain peak.
The scene flashed by in an instant, and the water sphere quickly collapsed, but Yaro kept staring at the water mirror and was able to roughly see what was happening above.
"Miles, is that him?"
Miles was a guard who was taken away by Baron Claire. He had undergone knightly training and was roughly as strong as Old Bard.
As Yaro recalled what he had just seen, he suddenly remembered a place that had been overlooked.
"Those strips of light don't look like a campfire at all; they look more like a magic rune array being activated."
The wind is slowly picking up.
Using the same method, Yaro released another 'monitoring water ball', which, aided by the increasingly strong mountain winds, swirled upwards.
Just like before, the water mirror had barely shown the situation above when it suddenly shattered, breaking into fine water droplets that drifted down with the wind.
"Is it because there is a protective force near the magic rune array, or because the signal limit of the Water Mirror Technique is only about forty meters?"
Yarrow did not study this issue in much detail.
Because he finally confirmed that the glowing object was indeed a mysterious magic rune array.
He didn't act rashly.
The fact that Miles stayed here shows that Baron Claire trusted him.
The activated magic rune array might also be a backup plan that Baron Claire obtained from the Earl.
More importantly, even if Miles really was Fernando's mole, if Yaro directly exposes him, Miles will definitely turn the tables on him.
At that time, the people in the camp will choose to believe Miles, who is Baron Claire's personal guard.
Or should we still believe in Yarrow, who has only recently arrived and whose origins are completely unknown?
……
After putting away the house plans, Yarrow pushed open the door, looked around, and asked an old soldier on night watch, "Could you please call old Charles? I have something I want to ask him."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Perhaps old Charles had already given instructions, and the veteran readily agreed.
Soon, old Charles came running up, panting, and apologized in a hoarse voice:
"Something happened at the camp, sorry to have kept you waiting, sir. By the way, does Lord Yue have any orders?"
"Did Baron Claire give any instructions on what Miles should do?" Yaro asked in a low voice.
“Miles? Lord Moon, I don’t know who Miles is.”
Yaro narrowed his eyes slightly: "You didn't know? Baron Claire didn't send anyone to the camp?"
"No, apart from the people the Baron took away, I heard the rest of his guards stayed in Gilo Town to guard something."
Did Miles sneak over here on his own?
Yaro pondered for a moment, then looked up and said:
"Let's go inside and talk. I'll show you something."
"This... Lord Yue, I came in a hurry and I'm covered in mud. If I dirty the house, it might disturb your rest."
"It's okay, I might not be able to rest tonight anyway."
Old Charles's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Sir, have you discovered any problems?"
Although Old Charles was wary of Yaro, this was only due to old habits, the lack of a powerful force in the garrison, and the vigilance required of a veteran, leader, and elder. It did not mean that Old Charles completely distrusted Yaro.
Old Charles could sense that Yaro didn't have much prejudice against them. In fact, Yaro was the most approachable of all the powerful people he had ever met in his life.
The compassion of those in power is always more touching.
With a certain level of trust in each other, old Charles hesitated only for a moment before following Yaro into the cabin.
Before he could even stand firmly, Yaro began to draw upon his magic.
Although the blueprints have been put away, Yaro has only just cast them multiple times, so it won't be easy for him to forget them so quickly.
The water vapor gathered and swayed, gradually condensing in mid-air into a flat water mirror the size of a basketball.
Old Charles's pupils constricted sharply:
"Lord Yue, you are... a demon hunter!"
Witchers possess certain spellcasting abilities; there was once a Witcher Academy in the Earl's Territory, so it's quite normal for old Charles to have witnessed Witchers casting spells.
"No, be quiet! Look closely at the water mirror!"
Yaro dared not be distracted in the slightest, concentrating intently on constructing the magical pattern structure of the 'water sphere'.
Water mirror, a mirror made of water, is a term that is easy to understand.
Once the water sphere is completed, and the scene in the water mirror begins to move with the water sphere, from indoors to outdoors, and then rises from a lower position.
Old Shire saw the wooden house, the watchtower, and every familiar blade of grass and tree around him.
Just like the gradually rising camera shots in a movie, even without knowing about the 'surveillance drone,' following these shots, old Charles gradually came to believe in the authenticity of the images.
As the scene at the mountain peak flashed across the water's reflection, old Charles instinctively looked up and asked in surprise:
"what is that?"
“That’s Miles, Baron Claire’s personal guard. The glowing thing next to him is a magic rune array.”
As Yaro spoke, he released the water balloon again.
With the help of the increasingly strong mountain winds, the water sphere reached a higher altitude, and in that fleeting moment, Yaro seemed to see something strange again.
Old Charles, of course, couldn't see through the roof above. He withdrew his gaze and asked in confusion:
"A magic rune array? Is this what Lord Yue wants me to see? What's it for?"
"Summoning wind, summoning rain, gathering yin energy, attracting the dead... the magic rune array can produce too many effects, I don't know exactly what this magic rune array does."
Just like 'machine', magic rune array is just a general term.
Old Charles's face was extremely grim: "Is he going to unleash a necromantic catastrophe in this camp? My lord! Can we stop him?"
"Destroy? Are you sure? It wouldn't be difficult for me to go up, but no one can guarantee that the magic array can be interrupted," Yaro turned around and voiced his concerns. "Besides, who can guarantee that he's doing something bad?"
"What good things could they possibly do so late at night!"
Old Charles cursed under his breath, then added, "If it were something truly important, it wouldn't be possible to let him do it all by himself. Baron Claire would at least arrange some manpower for him!"
“Hmm…that’s true,” Yaro nodded thoughtfully.
"Lord Yue, please help us, I..."
Before old Charles could finish speaking, Yaro suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute..."
Just then, the newly released water sphere finally reached the mountaintop again, and Yaro finally saw the two strange black shadows that had just appeared.
"Winged undead?"
