Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 281 Yes, yes, you're right!

It's numb!

Yaro sighed inwardly, but tacitly agreed with Bai Lu's words.

The two people in front had barely approached when the tree spirit immediately activated its magic to revitalize the forest—such an action couldn't possibly be just a greeting.

This is the first time they've been able to let Yaro leave.

What if we go a second time?

Given the tree spirit's immense hostility towards the tree spirit, if the white deer were to return with Yaro, the tree spirit might very well extend that hostility to the white deer.

If this happens, the chances of Bai Lu encountering danger if she tries to visit alone again will greatly increase.

Bai Lu saw Ya Luo's worry, smiled gently, and softly comforted him, "Tree spirits and demon trees are different. It retains many memories from its previous life, and because its life form is different from ours, many of its needs are also different. Unless driven by a hostile demon, it is impossible for it to attack me."

"This is not the Fairy Forest, and I am just a lone fairy; I will not encroach on its territory."

"In this situation, I can actually get the tree spirit's protection by going there."

"Tree spirits, especially large tree spirits that occupy an unknown area, are not comparable to a herd of deer."

"I might be able to talk to it about whether we can bring the elk over later and have them live here from now on."

At this point, Bai Lu winked playfully, her innocent profile revealing an alluring charm. "That way, we can be much closer, and I can come visit you anytime I'm free!"

Yaro listened quietly, constantly thinking of a solution.

But even after Bai Lu finished speaking, he still couldn't come up with a good solution.

The tree spirit was far too wary. Even if Yaro gave up the bark of the demonic tree and waited there instead of selling it, there was very little he could do.

The terrain in the jungle is too complicated. You can disappear from sight after turning a corner, and it's hard to hear a sound after a few hundred meters. Compared to the white deer's perception ability in the forest, the tree spirit's perception ability cannot be too weak.

After much thought, Yaro had no choice but to suggest:

"I'm going to rest in that village outside tonight anyway. Once we get there, you can take these deer and go find the tree spirit."

"Go and see what the tree spirit's attitude is. If it's not friendly to you, these few deer can be of some help."

"Bring the deer back tomorrow morning and have them help me haul these materials."

"If we can't reach an agreement, you can leave with me then."

Yaro sat up straight and looked at the white deer earnestly, asking, "Do you think this is okay?"

The advantage of this proposal is that the interval is only one night, so if the white deer does not return, Yaro will still have a little chance to make amends.

Moreover, if things go quickly, Yaro can get back by tomorrow night.

If the white deer can stay peacefully in the tree spirit's territory for one night, staying an extra day shouldn't be a big problem.

"The tree spirit won't be unfriendly, as for your idea..." Bai Lu retorted first, then lightly tapped her chin with her lotus root-like white index finger, pouting as she pondered Ya Luo's suggestion.

After a moment, the white deer looked up, its dark green eyes filled with doubt: "Something's not right."

Yaro frowned slightly: "Is something wrong?"

The white deer blinked its bright eyes and muttered softly, "Once I bring the deer to you and return to the tree spirit's territory, won't I have no choice but to walk away?"

Yaro: "..."

It must be said that Bai Lu did find a loophole in the proposal.

But Yaro can't just watch her leave now, can he?

Leaving aside the issues of the subsequent journey.

If the white deer leaves now, and Yaro goes to sell the magic tree bark, he won't be able to return until tomorrow night at the earliest; the interval is too long.

Yaro racked his brains and stammered out an answer: "If... you can negotiate with the tree spirit, perhaps... you could borrow a mount from it?"

Seeing Ya Luo deep in thought, Bai Lu chuckled, her laughter ringing out like a bell.

The soft little fist gently tapped on Yaro's armor, and Bai Lu chuckled softly, "Just kidding, you're so silly, you can't even tell the difference."

"Fairies are much faster than deer when they walk through the forest. You don't even know that?"

Ever since Yaro destroyed the Demon Tree, the White Deer has felt a greater sense of awe towards him.

She may have also seen that move from a distance, the powerful sword fire descending from the sky.

But now, her movements are more natural, and she seems to be closer to Yaro.

"Let's go," the white deer urged the elk, humming a tune in response. "Yaro, your suggestion is not bad either. This way I can get you to the village as soon as possible. You've been fighting all day, and you really should rest early."

Bai Lu's voice was originally very soft, but the tune she was humming at this moment was high-pitched and intense.

Amidst the melody, Yaro inexplicably sensed a familiar charm.

"Is the tune you're humming now the one Heli taught you?" After listening for a moment, Yaro asked curiously.

Judging from the melody, this piece does indeed have some similarities to what Yaro taught, but it has been mixed with too many other flavors.

This can no longer be considered the tune that Yaro remembers.

Like an essay based on a given topic, this song has a similar feel to that iconic song from my memory, but everything else has been rewritten.

—This is a brand new melody!

"what?"

Bai Lu quickly covered her mouth, glanced at Ya Luo in alarm, and tried to salvage the situation, saying, "You misheard, I didn't make a sound!"

amount……

"Yes, yes, yes! You're absolutely right!"

……

On the barren ridges of the fields outside the village, five villagers anxiously gazed toward the direction of the forest.

"The Witcher has been gone for so long and hasn't returned yet. Could he be dead?"

The burly villager stood on tiptoe and peered for a moment, then turned back and said, "He's dead. Can we get our money back? They wanted half the money before we even did anything! It's outrageous!"

The elder in the middle tugged at his cane and said irritably, "Who are you going to ask for a refund? Are you going to go into the jungle and find that monster's corpse?"

"I'm not going. What if we run into werewolves? Even if we don't, if the lady gets angry, it'll be hard to have a good harvest in the future," the burly villager muttered, shrinking his neck.

A gaunt villager glanced around and whispered, "Village chief, if we offer the lady more offerings, will she intervene and drive away that werewolf? Then we won't have to waste pennies hiring a monster like a witcher."

"I don't think so. Apart from directly offending Madam, there are no other stories of Madam taking action." The elder said hesitantly, but judging from the slight flicker in his eyes, he seemed to be tempted as well.
