Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 323 Evolution?

Looking at the deep, dark church, Yarrow pondered for a long time.

From the mysterious enemy's words, it's clear that 'she' knows about her past.

So... wouldn't she have studied her own armor?

Can she see through the flaws?

If it were an open area, Yaro would naturally not be afraid, as any method would only be effective if it hit the target, but the interior of the church was hardly an open area.

Besides, the other elf is on the ground, so it's not necessary to go into the church.

More importantly, as "she" rambled on, Yaro's anger subsided, and his worry for Bailu grew stronger.

"What if she really runs into Bai Lu again when she escapes? It's not impossible. Bai Lu still has her true blood in her body, and with a little skill, she can easily sense it."

Yaro naturally didn't know the properties of true blood, but he did have some understanding of the source of magic.

The magical source constructed from spiritual power has an extremely strong affinity for the soul, even surpassing the resonance between the body and the soul.

Since true blood and demonic source have the same nature, Yaro wouldn't find it strange that the owner of true blood could directly sense the location of the white deer without any means before the pendant wrapped the true blood with magic.

Yaro was already considering retreating.

The church is of unknown danger; it would be perilous to enter rashly.

I've been here a while, and the white deer outside might be in danger.

There's also information from the enemy's testimony—if what 'she' says is true, then many things need to be prepared as soon as possible.

Yes, even knowing that pursuers could arrive at any moment, Yarrow did not intend to run away directly.

He's not in the same situation he was when he first graduated from college.

They now possess new golden armor for battle and are not lacking in any combat resources.

More importantly, the gunpowder raw materials he had just obtained had not yet been properly mixed.

There's nothing mysterious about making gunpowder; the servants at Perrin Castle could easily help with the extraction. During that time, they had also been engaged in tasks such as salt extraction, oil pressing, and flour refining, which honed their extraction techniques.

Moreover, there's also the specially trained Heri, who can handle important matters like gunpowder formulation.

If we abandon all these foundations and go to a new place to do the same thing, won't we still have to cultivate these people again? What problems, difficulties, or dangers will we encounter then?

Instead of continuing to flee, we should let them produce the gunpowder, fill the spatial ring with it, and then consider relocating.

The matter concerning the white deer has not yet been settled. Although the pendant can suppress true blood, it cannot be used for too long. We need to find the tree spirit as soon as possible and see if the tree spirit knows where there is a large gathering place for demons.

Then another sentence came from inside the church, which finally made Yarrow decide to leave.

"As for the matters within the viscount's domain... you need not worry. I will use my last strength to send a message to the deputy steward, instructing him to ease the burden on the serfs."

Thinking of those miserable serfs, Yarrow's murderous intent finally subsided.

Indeed, Viscount Corey is dead, and without a suitable person to give the order, it won't be easy to change the existing problems.

Of course, this is also because "she" emphasized several times that "she" had already sent the message.

Otherwise, if he could simply silence the enemy who recognized Yaro, he would still have enough time to order the viscount's middle-level personnel to handle these matters.

The flames swirling around the blazing greatsword returned to their source, the surging air behind him subsided briefly, and the armor's flight altitude gradually decreased. Yaro scooped up the crimson amber from the ground, glanced up at the silent church ahead, and suddenly spoke:

Why are you leaving?

The voice in the church casually replied, "A maggot like me, who can't stand the light, must leave its original dwelling the moment it makes a sound."

"Is that so?"

Yaro gripped the amber tightly, finally making up his mind. "Have a pleasant journey."

She chuckled softly: "You too."

The shockwave dissipated, and the golden-armored figure soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the vast night.

After an unknown amount of time, wisps of blood mist suddenly emerged from the cracks in the walls of the silent church, gathering together and drifting towards a pool of blood in the center of the church.

With a series of soft, frothy sounds, a small, snow-white bat, seemingly still a child, floated up from the center of the blood pool.

That gentle voice drifted out softly:

"The main body is dead, and the backup body has also been destroyed. Even if we can obtain a thousand magic stones, the loss this time is too great!"

"But... this is for the best."

"I am no longer a mortal, and everything you gave me is now destroyed."

"So... little Martha, I'm saying goodbye to you forever, and I hope... you won't torment me anymore."

The noise gradually subsided.

Everything returned to calm.

……

"I think the tuition I paid for you might have been wasted."

Upon hearing these words from the pendant, Yaro dropped his heavy sword and hurried over.

The girl, who had been perfectly fine before, now had a hardened body surface with strange patterns, making her look like a beautiful wooden sculpture.

Yaro turned around and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with her?"

The pendant floated up to Yaro, its surface shimmering with magical runes.

"Just like I told you, fairies' lives are cyclical, and she doesn't have many years left before her next life cycle."

"The true blood suppressed her body's functions. Once the true blood was sealed by me, her body immediately rebounded, and her own evolutionary instincts were activated, resulting in her current appearance."

evolution?

Yaro sat down beside the wooden cart, his right hand hesitantly reaching out towards the girl's face.

But looking at the mesh, dark-light gloves on his hands, he stopped, paused, and then put them down.

Yaro didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

All I can say is that it was a mixed bag of emotions.

"Is this... evolution?"

Yaro himself didn't notice that his voice had become somewhat hoarse.

The pendant landed on Yaro's shoulder, and a gentle magical energy enveloped his body, from which a soft voice slowly emanated: "Of course, this is indeed evolution."

"Once she goes through this evolution, her magic power will be greatly enhanced. At that time, she may not even need to have her true blood extracted, as she may be able to resist the erosion of the true blood on her own."

"This is a protective mechanism that her body initiates spontaneously, and it is also a process that fairies must go through."

Yaro pursed his lips.

The oxygen mask he was wearing made him feel somewhat suffocated.

absurd?

That's absolutely absurd!

How could such a bodily mechanism exist in this world?
