Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 302 The Journey

The arrival of spring awakens all things, and the Viscount's territory is also bursting with a unique vitality.

A gentle breeze blows, and the comfortable sunlight casts halos of light.

Colorful flowers covered both sides of the road, their fragrance filling the air with a subtle sweetness.

Along with the industrious bees, groups of ragged serfs appeared in the fields, cultivating the barren land with simple tools under the whips of their overseers.

While cultivating the land, they would secretly chew on a few fresh flowers, savoring their subtle sweetness and delicate fragrance—this was their rare moment of happiness.

Yes, they deserve to be happy.

Even though they smelled terrible, the bees avoided them.

Even though they were emaciated, their appearance was more ferocious than that of a skinny monkey.

But they survived once again a terrifying, deadly winter.

It is always difficult to change anything in this world according to one's own will.

The rumble of carriages and horses.

Everything is as usual.

Inside the carriage, Yaro gently stroked his heavy sword, his gaze distant and unsettling.

Bai Lu seemed to sense Ya Luo's suppressed emotions. Looking through the carriage window at the cultivated field, she asked疑惑地问道, "What has once again stirred your murderous intent? There's nothing special out there, is there?"

"Yeah, nothing special."

Yaro murmured repeatedly.

How could he not know that these were all commonplace things?

In past lives and in the history of the past, were there not similar or even more cruel events?

But so what?

As the ancients said, "A knight-errant uses martial arts to break the law."

I'm upset and want to kill someone. Is there a problem?

"Yaluo, your killing intent is overflowing. Why don't we go back? Your current state is really not right," Bai Lu's voice was hesitant, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Yaro knew that it was not easy for Bailu to say such things again, but he still chose to refuse.

"Go back? If we go back, those little fairies will be hard to catch up with."

Yaro quietly took a deep breath, turned around, and revealed a cheerful smile.

"It's alright, these are just aftereffects of old ailments. There's plenty of time to adjust them gradually."

"Can……"

The worry on Bai Lu's face hadn't faded, and she wanted to say something more, but Ya Luo quickly interrupted her: "Um..."

Yaro paused for a moment, then quickly thought of a key question from earlier.

"Those materials I just threw down, were they the trunks of the Demon Tree?"

In terms of both appearance and material, the materials were very similar to the trunk of the Demon Tree, but Yaro only discovered the problem after he got his hands on them.

"Why did the abyssal power disappear inside? How was it done? Can you tell me?"

The abyssal power and natural magic within the trunk of the Demon Tree are deeply intertwined, to the point that they have formed a unified whole. It is precisely because of this that the trunk of the Demon Tree can isolate the abyssal power without affecting its own body.

These two forces, which were so deeply intertwined, now only have a small amount of natural magic left!

If such a method could be obtained, it might be possible to extract the abyssal power that has been integrated into the body at any time, thereby reducing the frequency of using purification potions.

Bai Lu looked at the busy scenes flashing by outside the window, her eyes filled with confusion. She said in a low voice, "That was done by the lost abyss sprites. They must have succeeded by using the energy connection with the mother tree. As for the specific reason... I don't know either."

Yaro glanced at the girl's expression and knew there might be some sensitive hidden story behind it, so he could only reply, "I see..."

A moment of silence fell over the carriage, with only two fine horses still galloping tirelessly.

As they ventured deeper, the horrifying-looking serfs gradually disappeared, and what reappeared were some cultivated fields and a few scattered villages.

Some free people, who looked somewhat like civilians, also passed by on the road.

With powerful backers and money paving the way, their journey has been relatively smooth.

Even so, by the time the carriage reached the vicinity of Lix City, the sun had already set.

By the faint starlight and gazing at the long, creeping shadows in the darkness, one could roughly estimate that one side of the city wall was nearly eight li long.

However, the city wall is only about four meters high, a distance that Yaro could easily climb with his bare hands, so it was not a major obstacle.

He was about to do that, but before that, he needed to find a place to park the carriage.

As Yaro stood on the roof of the carriage, gazing at the surroundings, the white deer stared blankly at the city shrouded in darkness for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "What a stinky city!"

Yaro wasn't surprised by Bai Lu's words. He turned around and explained, "With so many people and so many animals eating, drinking, and defecating in this city, it's normal for it to smell a bit."

"No," Bai Lu shook her head, "it's not because of that taste."

"And what is that?" Yaro climbed down from the roof, his heavy body causing the wooden carriage to shake violently.

Driven by Yarrow, the carriage changed direction slightly.

A cool night breeze was blowing gently.

Bai Lu rested her head on the windowsill, gently stroking her hair, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said softly, "I don't know, but that feeling inexplicably made me feel disgusted with this city."

"disgust?"

Yaro became more wary. "You wait outside. Don't come in with me."

"Why?" Bai Lu raised her head, looking at the figure in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Yaro said in a muffled voice, "I can fight and run, but you're different. This isn't like the forest. Fairies have no advantage in places like this. Your body hasn't recovered, and you've used up a lot of magic power to repair it. What if you encounter a trap..."

"Don't worry too much about me," Bai Lu said in a coquettish tone, her soft voice like a little kitten tickling your heart.

Yarokong cracked his whip, angrily saying, "I'm talking to you about serious matters!"

"Isn't this serious business?" Bai Lu asked, somewhat puzzled. "Although I don't particularly like this city, with your protection, this ordinary city is unlikely to pose a threat to me, right?"

This……

Perhaps it's because I've been exercising too much lately, causing my hormone levels to be too high?

Yaro's face flushed, but fortunately, he had his back to the white deer, so he wasn't too embarrassed.

He paused, then shared his conjecture: "Since it's not just a simple stench, and it makes you feel inexplicably disgusted, it might have some kind of extraordinary power. We can no longer treat it as an ordinary city."

"But..." Bai Lu hesitated, "I didn't sense any danger from inside, just a general aversion, just like my aversion to the castle you live in."

"If the whole city is in danger, where can I go? The surrounding area, including the forest I was in, the castle you lived in, and even the dryad's territory, isn't that far from this city?"

That's true!
