Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 581 The System Task Triggered Again

I don't know what Claire was thinking, but I always felt that she had placed all her hopes on Yaro.

—It's also possible that they genuinely value the spirit of 'mending the sky'.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. In any case, Claire's conduct deserves recognition.

After a moment's thought, Yaro said, "Since you insist... alright, when do you plan to go?"

“How do you feel now?” Claire asked.

Yaro nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Teacher, teacher, what about me? What about me?"

After being confused for a while, Bevan quickly asked.

“Let’s go together, it’s not far anyway,” Yaro said with a smile as he turned around.

……

Lan'er Village was indeed not far from Perrin Manor. The three of them rode horses and arrived at Perrin Manor in just a few hours.

After settling the horses at Perrin Estate, the group then walked along the side of the salt mine towards the deep pit in the canyon.

Yaro and Claire were alright, but Bevan suffered the most. He rode a horse all the way, crawling through forests and climbing mountains. Even though there were paths left by mining operations, he was still exhausted and out of breath.

He had read Claire's autobiography and knew the purpose of Yarrow and Claire's trip, but what he didn't understand was—

"Teacher, Father... Huff, we've passed through the canyon several times on our journey... Why do we have to go this way?"

Claire walked at the front, clearing the way with her broad body, and said calmly, "Because that's what the prophecy says."

prophecy……

Bevin pursed his lips.

Yaro, walking at the back, watched with amusement and explained with a smile:
"I wrote it this way because it makes the most sense. Other parts of the canyon are too deep. Even if there are pools of water below, a person would die if they fell in. Only near the toxic salt mine is there a place about fifty meters deep."

"Won't you fall to your death from this height?" Bevan asked curiously, ignoring his fatigue.

Being with teachers always makes me feel like I learn a lot of new things every day.

Claire, who was ahead, also quietly perked up her ears.

"Given your father's physical condition as a formal knight, if he had entered the water at the right angle, there is a high chance he would have survived from that height."

As Yaro was speaking, he suddenly remembered something and added:
"It depends on your physical condition, weight, size, and entry posture. With your weight and physical condition, about 20 meters is probably your limit. Even if you enter the water correctly, you can't avoid getting injured and may not be able to swim out of the water alive."

"Oh, I see... By the way, teacher, how did you know the height of the canyon surroundings?"

"Of course I saw it..."

Just as the two were talking, Claire, who had been silently leading the way, suddenly stopped.

"Lord Yarrow, is this the place you mentioned?"

"Reached?"

Bevan quickly stepped forward, curiously looking ahead, then his face showed surprise: "So tall?"

Forty meters doesn't sound like much, but looking down, all you can see is the surrounding mist; the underground scenery is completely obscured.

Moreover, the rock face is so smooth it looks like it was cut by a knife; just one glance is enough to instill fear in anyone, let alone the thought of jumping off.

“That’s right, this is it. There’s fog all around below. If someone falls down, the people up above won’t know if they’re alive or dead, so they won’t keep chasing them. And with such thick fog, there’s a high chance there’s water below. What do you think? Makes sense, right?” Yaro walked over and looked down a few times.

That makes sense, absolutely makes sense.

As expected of a teacher, so meticulous.

Bevan plopped down on the bluestone next to him, panting heavily, and had no intention of answering.

Claire looked around for a moment, then turned back and asked, "Lord Yarrow, how do we get down? Should I just jump down here?"

"There's no need to be so reckless. Don't worry, I have a plan."

Yarrow came along for two reasons. First, the Viscountess had disappeared, and he had a feeling she hadn't completely abandoned the Viscount's territory, plus the salt mine had run into problems before, so he came to help Claire protect her. Second, he wanted to deal with the canyon issue.

Yaro looked at Bevin beside him: "How are you? Have you rested enough?"

"Okay...okay, I'm all better now," Bevan said stubbornly as he stood up.

"Alright, let's go then."

As the voice faded, a strong gust of wind erupted from Yaro's body, engulfing Bevin and Claire completely.

Featherfall Technique - Modified - Soaring Dragon Body Technique!

The basic idea is to first use the Dragon Soaring Technique to change the direction of the force, pushing all three of them towards the cliff, and then switch back to the Feather Fall Technique to reduce their descent speed.

In mid-air, Bevan curled up into a ball and let out a piercing scream.

Although it was also Claire's first time experiencing the Featherfall Technique, she quickly regained her balance and curiously felt the strong winds around her.

He wanted to say something, but his voice was drowned out by the strong wind and Bevan's piercing screams, so he simply shut his mouth and said no more.

Not long after...

Boom!

The two fell into the water.

Bevan frantically scrambled through the water, about to call for help, when Yaro grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up, lightly dipping him a few times on the surface of the water before reaching the edge of the pool.

Meanwhile, Claire, who was prepared, swam quickly and soon crawled out of the water, soaking wet.

At this moment, however, his entire demeanor became dejected. He hunched over, breathing heavily, as if he were extremely exhausted.

But clearly, he hadn't even caught his breath the whole way.

He was panting heavily, ignoring Yaro and the other man, and instead looked up at the sheer cliff face, a hint of confusion on his weathered face.

"Father……"

Bevin was puzzled and was about to walk over when Yaro grabbed him.

"teacher?"

He turned around and found that his teacher, who was usually calm and collected, was now unusually serious.

……

"I hope no one else discovers I'm missing too late. I hope they don't run into that evil wizard. If they do, I hope they just treat him as an ordinary passerby and don't provoke him..."

At this moment, Claire was still muttering to herself.

After a moment, he turned around, glanced at Bevin, and then explained to Yaro with a normal expression:

“Lord Yarrow, I am simply trying to understand Claire’s feelings in the book you wrote, and I want to experience the ‘true meaning of mending the sky’ more deeply through her perspective.”

"I understand, I understand everything!"

Yaro nodded, barely suppressing his excitement.
