Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 562 Borrowing Your Name, Passing on My Technique

It's difficult to stop them directly, and it's also difficult to provoke conflict.

However, if we change our approach, there are ways to achieve our goal!
After a moment's thought, Yaro uttered a single word:

"Rimana City!"

"You mean... the Southern aristocracy?" Claire asked tentatively.

“Not nobles!” Yarrow emphasized. “They were soldiers! The soldiers who drove the serfs all the way from the south to the north.”

“Soldiers?” Claire frowned. “To start a conflict, there need to be two sides. Without the nobles’ orders, those soldiers can’t leave the city of Ghimania at all.”

"Are we trying to incite infighting among them? Or perhaps provoke conflict between them and the original inhabitants of Rimanya City? That seems too difficult. Besides, we have no spies in Rimanya City, nor the resources to accomplish this."

Yaro shook his head slightly, denying it:

“Those soldiers who drove the serfs from south to north are no pushovers. They will definitely bully the locals in the city of Rimanya. If you find the right angle, it is not impossible to cause a conflict.”

"But our goal is to stop this war. No matter how much trouble they cause in the city of Rimanya, it will be difficult to affect the troops on the battlefield."

"Therefore, causing conflict between them and the locals of Rimanya City will not solve our problem."

Claire quickly pressed, "Then what should we do?"

"Give them what they want, based on their needs! Then, use their seemingly unrelated connections with the military camp to influence the pro-war troops!"

At this point, Yarrow suddenly said, "Claire, can you lend me something?"

"You say."

I want to borrow your name.

Using my name?

What is my name?

Claire thought Yarrow was joking and said with a wry smile:
“Lord Yaro, it’s not that I don’t want to agree, but I’m really not a well-known person, and I don’t have any reputation to lend you.”

"If there is no name, then we will create a name."

As Yaro spoke, he suddenly asked again:
"Is the situation at Scalo Fortress still stable?"

Although Claire was puzzled, she still answered honestly, "They're holding firm. In the past two weeks, their offensive has slowed down considerably, and they haven't launched a single siege."

Yaro nodded slightly and continued:

"If I'm not mistaken, they won't launch a large-scale attack for the next four months."

"So I hope you will have an 'adventure'."

"By the way... this is what you got from your 'adventure'."

As he spoke, Yaro handed him two books.

One of them is the "Swallowing Word Technique" and the "Blood Word Technique" from the "Eight Extremes Method".

The other book is a newly compiled book on "Acupressure Points" by Yaro.

"what?"

Claire was stunned.

Except for the first sentence, he could understand every word that Yaro said afterward, but he couldn't understand the meaning of the words together.

What does it mean to encounter a 'miracle'?
Also, why is it called a 'serendipitous encounter' when the rewards are already in hand?
Seeing that he did not react, Yaro continued:

"Isn't there a toxic salt mine outside the Perrin Manor? That's where your adventure began."

"Some monsters have been appearing near the poisonous salt mine recently. When you went to clear them out, you accidentally chased them deep into the Vashi Mountains and discovered a hidden location." "That place was once the hermitage of a reclusive master, but unfortunately, he has been dead for a long time..."

Suddenly, Yaro seemed to remember something, looked at Claire, and asked again:
"By the way, are there any famous figures in your history? Preferably those who suddenly disappeared, and it would be even better if they disappeared in this area... It doesn't matter if they don't, it can still be explained that they made their way here, but if they disappeared in this area, it would be more believable."

"???"

Claire, holding two books, frowned and asked cautiously:
"Lord Yarrow, what are your plans? Can you just tell me directly?"

Yaro did not hide anything and said frankly:
"I will borrow your name to spread my teachings. And you, you need to become a hero, a great knight-errant."

"A great hero? A great wandering swordsman?"

"No, it is the greatest heroes, those who serve their country and its people—the true heroes of martial arts!"

The greatest hero is one who serves his country and his people?

Martial arts/chivalry?

Claire felt that the more she asked, the more questions she had.

Yaro noticed the confusion almost written on his face and explained:
"The nobles of the South can indulge in debauchery in the city of Ghimania and wait patiently for the fall of Fort Scalo to get a share of the spoils."

But the soldiers they brought with them might not be so happy.

Because they cannot participate in battles, if they encounter a slightly better nobleman, they might be able to get some money or a few women, but they have absolutely no hope of obtaining the Knight's Breathing Technique or a title.

The Knight's Breathing Technique represents strength, while the title represents status.

This is what they truly desire.

Moreover, they have plenty of free time and are willing to waste it on things that are neither here nor there.

Claire asked, puzzled, "What does this have to do with me becoming a 'hero'?"

Yaro said, “Yes, because you ‘discovered’ two murals, and the legendary figure wanted you to spread the word, so you were very ‘honest’ and did not damage the murals, and you also spread the word.”

"But that location is close to the city of Rimanya. When you leave the Vashi Mountains, Rimanya is the first city you arrive at, so the first announcement was made there."

"Lord Yarrow, I regret to inform you that the army of the Saint Ferland Empire is closer to the Vashi Mountains, and the city of Rimanya is on the outer side of the military camp, towards the interior of the Saint Ferland Empire."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Yaro smiled.

"You can first engage their army's scouts, establish your reputation, and then spread the word to the soldiers in the city of Rimanya."

"Once enough soldiers have seen it and truly gained something, their desire for power and status will be temporarily satisfied."

"Only at this time can there be a basis for provoking conflict between soldiers and nobles."

"Because those who have already benefited tend to resist changes that could threaten their position, even if those changes are for the better."

Claire frowned, barely keeping up with Yarrow's train of thought, and pondered:
"What you're saying might be difficult to achieve, because even without what you've provided..."

"Martial arts," Yaro advised.

“Alright,” Claire accepted Yaro’s name and continued, “Even without martial arts, there is still the Knight Breathing Technique, but even if the Knight Breathing Technique is widely spread, the situation you described will not occur.”

Yaro said, "That's because the Knight's Breathing Technique is too difficult to learn and requires a huge investment to produce a substantial change in combat power!"

"The martial arts are different, with a lower barrier to entry and less investment. More importantly... the style is different from that of a formal knight!"

"style?"

Claire was stunned.
