Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 211 Perrin's Territory

After reaching an agreement, Claire led Yarrow to the study for further discussions.

Yaro first needs to know the location of those densely packed shadow beasts.

It is also necessary to know where Claire plans to place herself.

Yaro then prepared to make various instruments, especially large quantities of gunpowder, all of which were very dangerous.

They will also create new lead-iron armor, continue to forge themselves with the Fiery Greatsword, and find a way to remove the abyssal power that has tainted them and restore their skin to its original color... all of which carries the risk of exposure.

There are too many inconveniences to staying at Perrin Estate.

……

Following Claire into the study, the first thing that catches the eye is an old-fashioned bookshelf resembling a wall cabinet.

A few brand-new books were scattered haphazardly on top, their number pitifully small, even less than the number of fairy tale books Yaro had in his childhood.

Aside from the bookshelf, the study only had a heavy, smooth wooden desk and an equally old-fashioned armchair.

The room wasn't big, but because there wasn't much furniture, it didn't feel crowded for two people to come in together.

After entering the room, Claire went straight to the bookshelf and carefully took down an old parchment from the top.

The edges of the parchment have deep creases, exposing the individual fibers, while the other sides are flat, as if it had been pressed flat multiple times, to the point that the top side is somewhat whitish.

It's clear that its owner cherishes it very much.

It's a pity that its owner didn't seem to know how to care for the parchment.

Claire carefully unfolded the parchment, and a rough map gradually appeared.

Yaro peered over and carefully examined the various markings on the map.

Perhaps it's because the map is too abstract, or perhaps because the various patterns drawn on it have been smudged.

Yaro looked carefully several times, but couldn't find a single spot that resembled the surrounding terrain.

"This is a map of the Perrin territory." Claire gently stroked the various markings on the map with affection.

Yaro also understood why the writing on the parchment was so blurry.

Yaro said apologetically, "Could you help me explain this? I really can't understand your precious map, and I can't even find the location of this manor."

Perrin Estate, in terms of its area relative to the Baron's estate, is by no means small.

Even though Perrin Estate was built later, the necessary landmarks could not be missing.

Yaro looked at the map and couldn't even find such obvious signs, which clearly showed that he didn't understand it at all.

A hint of dejection flashed across Claire's resolute face as she said somewhat dejectedly, "It's normal that Mr. Yaro doesn't understand. Our current location is not on this map."

"ha?"

Yarrow looked at Claire in astonishment: "The map of Perrin's territory doesn't include Perrin Manor?"

This is like a palace not being located within the territory; it's an absolute joke.

Claire gently stroked the map, explaining dejectedly, "Two years ago, many shadowy monsters inexplicably appeared in my original castle, and a large number of people suddenly disappeared."

"Afterwards, I reported it to my lord, Countess Ilinda."

"I thought the master would send someone to handle it, but I didn't expect her to transfer me here directly."

Yaro looked at Claire with a puzzled expression: "So you want to go back?"

Why bother?

"What difference does it make where it is? As long as it develops well, that's all that matters."

Claire looked up and said seriously, "This is Viscount Corey's territory. I have been transferred here and have become Viscount Corey's subordinate."

"I don't usually care."

"But now, San Fernando has issued a notice that they will invade next spring, and I must go back to help her!"

Yaro was stunned.

He thought of countless reasons, but he never expected that Claire's reason would be because of a woman.

Countess Ilinda?

Was my former boss very beautiful?

Yaro seemed to understand something.

However, these matters had nothing to do with Yaro. He just wanted to confirm whether this matter would cause him any unnecessary trouble.

Yaro asked carefully, "You mean, you want me to go and clear out the monsters inside Perrin Castle?"

“Yes,” Claire nodded, then looked at Yaro and added, “It’s not far from Perrin’s territory. Even if you camp here every day, it won’t help. A few will always come over from over there from time to time.”

"The only way to cure it completely is to address that area."

"If you can clear away the shadows over there, I can lend you the castle to live in temporarily."

That's quite a clever plan.

Judging from Claire's words, he could only return to his former territory and rejoin his beautiful female boss's embrace, and only then could he legitimately join her ranks.

Is it really necessary for him to go to such lengths for his female boss?

Judging from what the horse-faced guard said last night, they had recently tried to go to the old castle and caused quite a few casualties.

Even so, he still insisted on going back?

There are too many hidden problems.

If I were to do it myself, would I become someone else's walking stick?

Glancing at Claire, who was still waiting for his answer, Yarrow thought to himself, "There's too little information to determine the cause."

"We can agree to that first, and then go see the old castle in the next few days."

"As long as the danger inside the old castle isn't too great, we can act directly and collect the experience points in front of us."

Once outside the academy, there are no more fixed, eerie spaces for Yaro to explore.

If there really are countless shadow beasts here, Yaro certainly won't let them go.

"The castle is indeed very much what I need. As long as I explain the situation in advance, I don't have to worry about anyone disturbing me."

Given enough time, Yaro can purchase various materials to quickly enhance his combat power.

If given more time, Yaro could continue to replenish his body and exercise, allowing his health to gradually recover.

Alternatively, you can find time to deal with the demon tree, sell its materials for demon stones, and buy purification potions.

If the abyssal power within the body is cleared, a full set of lead-iron heavy armor can be made again.

The world is so vast, where can't one go?

"Even if things change later, we can simply leave!"

It's not like he's trapped in the castle. His legs are on his body. As long as he makes bombs, he can easily create chaos even if he's besieged.

……

"What's your decision?" Claire's expression betrayed her nervousness, showing how much she valued this matter.

Maybe if we raise the price a little more, he'll grit his teeth and agree?

Although Yaro had some suspicions, he didn't do anything about it, but simply smiled and said, "You can give it a try."

"That's wonderful!" Claire breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply. "Thank you so much!"

Excessive greed only breeds hatred!

With more than ten gold coins, you already have enough start-up capital to buy many items.

What Yaro lacked afterward was time.

Given enough time, his combat strength can increase rapidly!
