Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 542 Ecological Pollution

If we really have to nitpick, the only thing the countess's daughter did wrong was not asking Yarrow beforehand.

However, from the earl's perspective, it is quite normal for them to do so.

Knowing there is no support, nothing is more inspiring than a large shipment of food.

Regardless of whether they are short of food or not, they must get this batch of food!

If you lack something, then you need it even more!

Given the high demand, and the fact that the main manpower of the Viscount's territory comes from Perrin Castle.

So why bother informing Yarrow and taking a risk that shouldn't have been taken?
Of course, they didn't act without reason.

The price of the transported grain was 'exactly' half of the gift, which was practically an admission that compensation was already included.

"No wonder they say that those who are overly solicitous are either up to no good or are thieves. To give such an expensive gift just for meeting someone, how shameless do you have!"

As for Dylan, the deputy butler... he was just a servant who followed orders.

However, Bevan's knowledge of this information was definitely arranged by Deputy Butler Dylan.

In hindsight, Zhuge Liang is reflecting on his actions.

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang finished his self-reflection.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you pay."

From any perspective, Yaro did not suffer any loss... Even if the price of the purchased grain was high, it cannot be said that they were to blame.

It's like there are two buyers in the market. The buyer who buys at a lower price has personal connections with the seller. With fewer goods available, the remaining goods naturally become more expensive.

If Yaro had taken out those gold coins earlier, the extra amount in price wouldn't have mattered at all.

Besides... it's not like Yaro is the one worrying about the territory.

If there are no problems with the territory, then Dylan, as the deputy steward... the head steward of the territory, cannot be considered to have neglected his duties.

"Besides, I was just using someone else to make money."

"Furthermore, once I leave this territory, I may still need to rely on the power of the Earl's territory to maintain the situation in the Viscount's territory, maintain the academy, and even spread the martial arts I have been spreading."

"The Earl's territory and I can be said to be mutually beneficial in our cooperation."

"A stable situation in the Earl's territory is also beneficial to me."

However, then again.

Although Yaro had eliminated the Fernando family's wizard apprentices who were causing trouble within the Earl's territory, stabilizing the situation within the Earl's territory.

However, the count's territory was still besieged by the army of the San Fernando Empire.

In my previous life, sieges and stalemates using cold weapons could last for months, years, or even more than a decade.

Given the current situation, it is unlikely that the Earl's territory will be completely destroyed.

However, without external assistance, the Earl's territory would ultimately lose in terms of size.

Viscount Lix’s territory was maintained by Baron Claire’s manpower, making it difficult for him to sever ties with the Earl’s territory.

Furthermore, if the Earl's territory were to fall, and the only safest route around would be the road through Baron Perrin's territory, a large number of people would definitely flee from Baron Perrin's territory to Viscount Lix's territory.

Furthermore, the reason the Saint Fernando Empire started the war was that the Count's territory had sheltered people from the Witcher Academy.

And now, in the newly built school in Yaro, witchers are also an indispensable part.

Overall, everything that Yaro values ​​is inextricably linked to the Earl's territory. If the Earl's territory is breached, Viscount Lix's territory will certainly not fare any better.

"Shouldn't we think of a way to end that war?"

"..." "Forget it, they just did it without asking. If I rush to get close to them, they might think I'm trying to get revenge on them."

Without a foundation of trust, even the best methods are impossible to implement.

It's impossible to ask Yaro to unleash 'Star Surge' and personally slaughter hundreds of thousands of his kind who have no connection to him, is it?
Moreover, most of the nobles were related by marriage, and they would offer advice and sell weapons, so it was not a big deal for them to fight each other.

If Yaro rushes up there, he might end up pleasing neither side.

……

After cleaning up the poisonous salt, Bevan followed Yaro like a shadow, first to the storage room to retrieve the werewolf corpse, and then headed towards the 'dangerous experiment protection room'.

A hazardous laboratory protection room, simply put, is a separate laboratory room.

In Yarrow's vision, the 'dangerous experimental protection room' should ideally be equipped with both material and magical defenses, and should also be guarded 24 hours a day.

—Similar to the most dangerous high-risk virus laboratory.

However, the most dangerous living creature in the underground laboratory right now is the 'Demonized Sprite' Amber, and the underground base is short of space and manpower, so for the time being, only separate bathrooms and changing rooms, as well as a large number of traps specifically designed for the 'Demonized Sprite', have been arranged on the perimeter.

Hearing Yaro's explanation, Bevin, now dressed in a full white lab coat, asked uncomfortably:

"Teacher, isn't there a lab available for experiments? Isn't this too much trouble? We have to change clothes to come in, carefully avoid so many traps, and then shower and disinfect ourselves afterward. Each round trip takes about an hour, doesn't it?"

"With this much time, we could do so many experiments."

Yaro is checking on the situation of Amber, the "enchanted sprite" stored in the "dangerous experimental protection room".

Inside the giant amber, a layer of skin has grown on the surface of the 'magical sprite' whose body was half crushed, but the surface is still uneven, and it looks like it will take some time to fully recover.

After resealing the protective magic array and carefully checking it for a moment to ensure there were no oversights, Yaro stood up and turned back to ask:

"Bevin, do you know why there are so many dangerous creatures in this world?"

"This……"

Bevin hadn't even considered this issue.

It's like someone in a past life asking why there are tigers, venomous snakes, and so many other strange and dangerous animals in the wild.

They were already there.

Isn't that normal?

"unusual."

Yaro stood up and walked to the open space beside him, took out a huge wooden box from his spatial ring, and said:

"You can think about it the other way around. In places where ordinary people live, there are far fewer jackals and wolves around. Why is it that in legends, there are many strange animals near the residences of wizards?"

"Aren't they the wizard's guards?" Bevan asked doubtfully.

“Guards?” Yaro laughed. “Who would use idiots and madmen as guards? Most of those strange animals are experimental subjects of failed experiments.”

Many experiments, even if the participants lost their minds at the time, could recover later. Therefore, most professional wizards would set up 'ranches' to graze their experimental subjects.

Of course, it's normal for some experimental subjects to escape; these are just necessary losses.

Moreover, those experimental subjects might undergo amazing changes after coming into contact with the outside world, and a chance encounter might yield unexpected gains.

Bevan suddenly realized, "I understand, teacher. Could it be that those strange creatures escaped from this kind of laboratory?"

Yaro smiled but said nothing more.

In my past life, a country was so desperate to save money that it discharged nuclear wastewater directly into the sea.

Who can expect individuals in this world to pay a heavy price for the sake of the ecosystem?
