Chapter 653 Turbulence
"The San Fernando Empire has made a truce?"

"A large number of skeleton monsters have reappeared in Earl Scarlo's territory, even affecting Baron Perrin's territory and the Cat School Academy?"

"More than a dozen wizards wearing the Fernando family crests came from the direction of the Kingdom of Lanelli and cleaned up the skeletons?"

"Do you know how monsters appear? Anything else?"

"They got into a fierce argument with the wizards next to the Cat School, each accusing the other of being the mastermind?"

"Are the envoys from the Fernando wizarding family still waiting over there?"

"No, no, I'm not trying to assign blame. I just wanted to ask... never mind, I won't ask anymore. Is there any other information?"

"Ian Boone has built the machine?"

……

At Viscount Lix’s mansion, listening to Steward Dylan’s report, Yaro felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

How could so many things have happened in just over a week?

But upon closer reflection, it seems perfectly normal.

Just like Yaro himself, he also encountered an accident during this period, creating multiple internal martial arts techniques and summarizing the three mainstream philosophies of Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism from his previous life.

During this time, other stories naturally unfolded as well.

The San Fernando Empire may receive orders to withdraw its troops and cease hostilities.

The Fernando wizarding family can both trigger the undead scourge again and send people to solve the problem—although this is contradictory, a faction is composed of many people, each with different ideas, so it is not surprising that they do contradictory things.

The wizards living near the Cat School may have felt increasingly threatened by Yarrow's frequent trips away from home, each one longer than the last, and thus actively provoked conflict, hoping that Yarrow and the Fernando wizarding family would fight each other, or better yet, that the Fernando wizarding family would be wiped out.

As for Ian Boone, he had already created an experimental machine, and with Yaro's previous guidance, it was normal for him to create a finished game console.

……

Of all the information, the most sensitive should be the reappearance of the skeletons.

"So, is it a test by the Fernando wizarding family, or instigation by someone else?"

Yaro pondered for a long time... and then gave up thinking.

"Why am I just daydreaming here? Why don't I just go find the Witcher Anabel?"

“Anab has been staying at the academy and has friends from wizarding families, so he might know some inside information.”

Thinking of this, Yaro hadn't even warmed his seat when he grabbed the sword leaning against the back of the chair, got up, and headed outside.

In the side hall, Bevin, who had just rested for a while after a long journey, was putting a piece of pastry into his mouth when he suddenly heard the sound of the door hinges turning in the side hall.

"The kitchen is already preparing lunch. Would you like to have some food and rest for a while before continuing? I'll immediately order someone to prepare the best horses with the fastest speed and feed them plenty of good feed, so that by the time you finish eating, the horses will be ready to gallop at full speed."

Dylan's voice came from it.

Yaro strode forward, fastening his longsword to the buckle at his waist.

"No need for that. The distance to the left and right isn't far. Just prepare a warhorse for my daily patrols. As for food, I have food on me. I can just eat something on the way."

The girls are now housed in a makeshift treehouse in the wilderness, and every minute wasted increases their danger.

Bevan quickly swallowed the pastry in his mouth and immediately got up.

"Master, where are we going?"

"Bevin, you stay."

Yaro paused, turned around, and explained:

"Bevin, discuss the construction of Bright Moon Palace with Steward Dylan. Gather craftsmen as soon as possible, prioritizing stonemasons, carpenters, and skilled workers familiar with mountain operations. Prepare tools and supplies as quickly as possible and set off for Deep Pool Valley."

“I’m going to the Cat School to inform Anabe and have him send a team of experienced witchers to accompany the craftsman.”

Bevan immediately straightened up: "Yes, Master!"

Yaro nodded slightly, and without further delay, strode out of the hall. ...

The horse galloped swiftly, its hooves clattering as it burst out of the Viscount's mansion and sped along the avenue leading to the Cat School Academy.

The summer breeze, warm yet strong due to its speed, brushed against Yaro's cheeks and temples, bringing a touch of coolness.

The roadside is no longer barren and yellow, but full of vitality. Newly planted wheat fields stretch out their tender green leaves under the sun, like a soft carpet, extending all the way to the edge of the lush forest in the distance.

He didn't deliberately push the horse to its limits; the horse's hooves pounded on the newly paved gravel road, making a regular and rapid "clattering" sound that broke the silence of the journey.

About half an hour later, the familiar outline of the Cat School's walls appeared on the horizon, rapidly enlarging as the horses moved forward.

From a distance, the scene at the academy was quite different from its usual tranquility.

A tense atmosphere filled the air.

Inside and outside the walls, in addition to the regular guards, there were many more figures dressed as witchers with masks featuring mysterious animal patterns on their faces.

As Yaro rode closer, the sound of his hooves immediately attracted the attention of the masked witchers.

Several cold gazes instantly locked onto him, and some of them even instinctively tightened their grip on their weapons.

"Stop! It's Lord Yaro!"

At the academy gate, a guard who recognized Yaro immediately shouted to stop him, his voice filled with obvious urgency.

Upon hearing this, the demon hunters immediately relaxed and began chatting lazily.

If you ignore their unconventional clothing, they're just a bunch of lazy bums on the street.

Yaro looked around at the group and sighed inwardly.

"With my current physical condition and martial arts cultivation, I can still sense a trace of danger. If it were to deal with the glass cannons of ordinary wizards, they might be able to threaten even advanced apprentices."

"These people should all be considered elites among the Witchers. The Scorpion Lion School has really pulled out all the stops."

Just then, the lead guard trotted up and respectfully saluted:
"Lord Viscount!"

Yaro reined in his horse, landed on his back, and handed over the reins.

Where is Anabe?

The guard quickly took the reins and answered:
"Lord Anabe is in the academy's reception room, discussing something with an envoy from the Fernando wizarding family."

"An envoy from the Fernando wizarding family?"

Yaro frowned slightly.

"Why don't you follow the rules I set before and live in the new town next door?"

Yaro had already established the rules.

To prevent wizards from causing trouble, except for those hired as teachers by the academy, other wizards can only live in the nearby new town and are not allowed to enter the core area of ​​the academy at will.

Clearly, Anabe's meeting with the envoys of the Fernando wizarding family in the academy's reception room was a violation of protocol!

"Those envoys had a fierce argument with the wizards of the new city, and they almost came to blows right at the city gate!" the guard explained quickly. "Lord Anabe was worried that the conflict would escalate and affect the students of the academy and the nearby residents, so he invited the envoys into the academy's reception room in order not to affect the normal operation of the academy."

Almost got into a fight? Then it didn't.

Just because of this, you can ignore the rules I set?

"Where is the reception room?" Yaro asked coldly, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

The college had not previously built a reception hall for the public.

The guard quickly replied, "It's the stadium. After the banquet, Lord Anabe set aside a section of it as a reception room for the public."

Upon hearing this, Yaro's cold gaze softened considerably.

The gymnasium was located on the edge of the academy, and it had previously hosted banquets for the public, setting a precedent for Yaro himself. Therefore, it cannot be said that Anabe broke the rules.
