Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 467 A Short Lesson

After Bud carefully removed the linen bag, Heryl glanced at it curiously.

The pocket contained some strange plants, which, judging from their appearance alone, were not as attractive as the white fuzzy plants from before. Yet, Bard carried them as if they were a bag of priceless treasures, his hands and feet light and awe-inspiring.

Heri couldn't help but ask Yaro:

"Lord Yarrow, what exactly is the purpose of these things? And what benefits do you mean by that?"

"These magical materials are rich in life magic, which can nourish the body, activate potential, and accelerate the recovery of injuries."

Hearing Yaro's words, Heli recalled her previous injury and looked at the plants with skepticism.

"What is the magic of life? Are they really that miraculous? But why did those mice suddenly become so thin?"

“Life magic is essentially a type of magic, but you only need to remember its effects,” Yaro explained.

Life magic, or life force, is essentially a void ability. The principles governing the classification of void abilities also belong to wizarding knowledge, and for Heri and others, it is all harmful and useless.

Heri didn't know the reason, but she trusted Yaro completely. Since Yaro said that as long as she remembered the effect of the life magic, she frowned and kept trying to recall the effect that Yaro had just mentioned.

"Nourish the body, speed up injury recovery... what else was it again?"

Heri pinched her fingers and muttered to herself, but she couldn't remember anything.

Open the book – Ma Dongmei; close the book – Ma what Mei?

Open the book – Ma Dongmei; close the book – What Dongmei?
Open the book again...

Seeing Heri's adorable appearance, Yaro couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Lord Yaro…” Heli lowered her head timidly, very worried that disappointment would show in Yaro’s eyes.

"It's alright, I just mentioned it casually, it's normal that you forgot," Yaro said with a gentle smile.

What's difficult for those who don't know how is easy for those who do.

Things you remember always seem simple.

But when faced with things they can't remember, they take it for granted that it's impossible to remember such things.

Having had experience with multiple system memory transfers, Yaro understood this principle with profound insight.

Heri looked up and saw Yaro smiling. She bit her lower lip slightly, and a moist light flickered in her eyes.

"Yes! Lord Yaro, please tell me again, and I will definitely remember this time!" Heri said with an unusually sincere tone, her voice slightly nasal.

"It's not like we're in class, there's no need to be so serious. If you remember it, great; if not, that's fine too. But your memory isn't as good as it used to be today. Have you been slacking off lately?" Yaro chuckled and ruffled her hair.

Although Heri is much prettier now than before, in Yaro's eyes, she is still the same tomboy he met when they first met.

Herri's sobs grew louder: "Lord Yaro... please tell me again."

Yaro had no idea that in the past, Heli had put in a lot of effort to remember what Yaro taught in class, and had repeatedly recited the knowledge he taught in class in private to ensure that she could remember and understand it.

He only saw the result, only saw how quickly Heri absorbed new knowledge. But how many lucky people in the world can be so lucky as to pick up a memory genius at random?

Yaro had no idea about Heri's efforts.

Heri didn't care whether Yaro knew or not; she just didn't want to be seen as a useless person by Yaro, so she was willing to work hard for Yaro and strive to become a 'post-natal genius'.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was on the verge of tears, Yaro was at a loss, not knowing what he had said wrong.

“Okay, okay, I’ll say it again, it’s to nourish the body, activate potential, and speed up injury recovery… Got it?” Yaro repeated what he had just said.

Heri nodded, trying her best to memorize these points.

Just as Yaro was about to continue, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly had a new idea.

"Let's go back inside and put our things down first. I'll explain it to you in detail on the blackboard later, which will also serve as a summary of the 'rat comparison experiment' we've been conducting for some time."

"Heri, you can compare this later and see if it connects to the information you've collected and summarized. Maybe next time you'll know how to deduce the correct answer from scattered information."

The two of them naturally wouldn't refuse.

After putting the things away, Bud suggested:
"Lord Yarrow, we didn't prepare a blackboard here before. Please wait a moment, I'll go get some paint and make one for you right away. As for chalk, perhaps you can use flour instead?"

Jaro had used blackboards before when he was at Perrin Castle, so Bard also understood what a 'blackboard' and 'chalk' looked like.

"No need for all that trouble, just watch carefully!"

Yaro's lips curled up slightly, and he made a gesture of taking a step back.

"what!"

Bud exclaimed in surprise.

Heri stared in disbelief at the extraordinary sight before her.

What did she see?
How did Lord Yaro become two?
And why does that Lord Yaro in front look... a bit green?

"Don't worry, it'll be fine soon."

After saying this, Yaro from the "behind" reached out and lightly touched "Green Yaro".

The scene before her eyes began to change. Vines and grasses grew rapidly and strong. Heli then realized that 'Green Yaro' was actually woven from fine grass strips.

The vines and grasses intertwined and quickly spread to both sides, gradually fading the image of Yaro on the grass mat and blending into the surrounding grass wall.

"What a pity, I wish I could just have it to myself," Hery thought to herself.

Yaro, of course, was unaware of her thoughts and was simply focused on casting the spell.

In a short while, the vines had expanded to twice their original size, forming a neat and innocent little green grass wall 'blackboard'.

"All right!"

Yaro turned around, clapped his hands, and startled the two stunned men. "I have a rough idea of ​​why the rat has become so thin."

As Yaro spoke, he looked at Bard beside him and said, "You should listen carefully too; it will benefit you as well."

Bud nodded slightly nervously, indicating that he was listening.

Yaro tapped the 'blackboard' and continued:
"The life-giving magical plants are essentially just assisting the body, enhancing its existing abilities, and greatly increasing the efficiency of various organs..."

For example, when doing the same thing, this vitality allows the body to consume less water and less nutrients, thereby reducing the workload and wear and tear on the body's organs.

But there's one thing you need to remember, Bard: these magical plants are meant to guide and strengthen, not replace.

As Yaro's finger traced the path, the grass vines on the pale green board gradually deepened in color, sprouting blades of grass that formed paragraphs of text.

The two immediately focused their attention, carefully looking at the 'blackboard', listening attentively to Yaro's explanation, and trying their best to understand the principles.

Yaro looked at Heri and continued:

"The reason why the mice suddenly lost weight is one of the reasons, and we can divide it into two reasons."

"First of all, we fed those lab mice only white down. In this process, the white down contains a small amount of sugar, nutrients and plenty of life magic, which can support their body's consumption."

"But they are just ordinary animals after all. They cannot retain the magic of life for long, nor can they generate the magic of life on their own. When the feeding of white down stopped, they lost the way to obtain the magic of life from the white down, which led to their weight loss."

"Summary of the first point..."

As Yaro's hand brushed against the grass wall, corresponding words appeared on it:

[I. The life force took up the body's original weight, but then dissipated and disappeared.]

A cartoon mouse then appears next to the text; it doesn't look disgusting at all, but rather rather cute and playful.

It looked around vividly and immediately noticed a ball of yarn next to it that represented 'white downy hairs', and excitedly started eating it right away.

However, as the white downy hairs took up a larger and larger portion of its body, suddenly there were no more white downy hairs as food around it.

Subsequently, the white whiskers that were originally on the cartoon mouse's body gradually disappeared as several dotted lines representing the dissipation of mist appeared, and the cartoon mouse's body also shrank.

Even though it was just a simple 'GIF', it kept Heri glued to the screen, and even Bard, who was already in his fifties, couldn't take his eyes off it.

It was through this process that Yaro was surprised to discover that he had unknowingly mastered certain painting skills.

That's normal. Isn't 'makeup' just another form of portrait painting?
Moreover, the '遁甲' (遁甲, a type of martial arts technique) mastered by Ya Luo requires a level of skill many times higher than ordinary makeup.

Regular makeup allows you to take your time and make adjustments, but 'Dunjia' requires you to complete the makeup in one go in a very short time!
This is even more exaggerated than a 'human body printer,' almost reaching the point of 'splashing ink to create a painting'—although it can only splash ink in its own shape.

Conversely, by gradually adjusting simple lines and patterns, it will naturally be no challenge for Yarrow.

After Heri came to her senses and carefully wrote down the words on the grass wall, Yaro continued:
"Secondly: Because those rats previously only needed very little energy to meet their body's needs, this changed their eating habits."

"When they were switched to normal food, they were unable to adjust in a short time. Their appetite decreased, their life force dissipated, and they were unable to replenish their normal nutrition in time, which caused them to lose weight again."

Second, reduced appetite, unable to support the body's original energy expenditure.

This time, a mountain of food appeared next to the cartoon mouse on the grass wall. The cartoon mouse only took a small chicken leg from the mountain of food, then waved its hand in a human-like manner, its face full of disdain for the other food.

Immediately afterwards, the cartoon mouse's body began to rapidly slender, with only a few simple lines appearing on its body, inexplicably giving it a withered and emaciated appearance.

Holly and Bud watched the scene intently, unable to help but feel sorry for the cartoon mouse.

“Heli, have you taken notes?” Yaro reminded her from the side. “You will need to compare this information with the previous data and prepare a complete experiment report for me. It’s not enough to just listen to it and be done with it.”

Heri nodded. As a lab assistant still in training, she naturally knew the importance of recording and analyzing data.

Yaro's arrangement was precisely to help her develop higher-level data analysis skills and provide her with opportunities for practice.

Or rather, is this the homework assigned to her?
Yaro turned to Bard: "And you? Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?"

"Lord Yarrow, are you trying to tell me that I should stop being anorexic and eat more in the future?" Bard looked at the thin rat on the grass wall, lost in thought.

Yaro was both amused and exasperated: "Is that all you can see?"

Bard scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, and said:

"Isn't that so, Lord Yarrow? What's wrong with what I said?"

Yaro shook his head slightly, knowing he couldn't have too high hopes for Bard, and said frankly:
"Don't you remember my diet plan when I was training? Just remember it, and when you train in the future, when you eat these life-giving magical plants, you must also supplement with protein-rich foods."

"Lord Yarrow, what is protein? Is it egg white?" Bard asked curiously.

Yarrow explained:
"Protein is not limited to egg whites. Protein is a nutrient composed of amino acids, which is essential for the body's development, repair, and maintenance of normal functions. In addition to eggs, meat, fish, dairy products, beans, nuts, and other foods are also rich in protein."

Bard became more and more confused as he listened.

Yaro also understood that Bard's comprehension was limited, and he was not explaining to Bard, but rather passing on his knowledge to Heri.

Yaro didn't have a complete set of books, so he always taught whatever knowledge came to mind. Fortunately, Heri had a good memory and could basically remember everything.

—The premise is that it must be written on the 'blackboard'; if it is only spoken verbally, Heri's memory is quite average.

After confirming that Heri had written it down, Yaro then instructed Bard:
"You don't need to remember such complicated things. Just remember my recipe, and when you use the magical plants to train in the future, you can eat the same food."

When Yaro was training, his diet was not luxurious. Apart from the necessary white velvet, he mainly ate eggs and milk.

Bard gave a wry smile and said with some melancholy:

"Lord Yarrow, I can't even do one of the movements you made me practice correctly right now. Not to mention there are six sets in total, each set has dozens of similar movements, and I also need to learn how to move and change between them. Just in terms of the movements alone, I don't know how long it will take for me to learn them all."

Perhaps, besides vague fantasies, there is only one other reason that keeps Bard practicing.

He hoped to master these movements as much as possible, so that even if he could not become a formal knight, he could pass on these skills to his descendants in the future, giving them the opportunity to realize his ambition of becoming a formal knight.
