Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 357 The Situation

From the conversation just now, Yaro naturally knew that the thin man was a member of the Fernando wizard family.

However, Yaro didn't quite understand what that person did.

Based on the information available, the Fernando family sent a total of one senior apprentice, one intermediate apprentice, and more than ten junior apprentices to the empire.

Normally, only one intermediate apprentice and several low-level apprentices would reside permanently within the empire.

In other words, the extra senior apprentice and several junior apprentices were all there for matters concerning the Earl's territory.

This demonstrates the importance the Fernando family attaches to this matter.

This is actually normal.

If the Mortal Empire were just ordinary farmland, most of the items it produced would only be second-rate extraordinary materials.

So the Undead Wasteland is a treasure trove for beginners. Although the materials produced are limited to undead attributes, the quality of the materials can be greatly improved, and they can also be used to enhance the spiritual power of apprentices. It is a very important treasure trove.

Since the Undead Wastes have so many benefits, the Fernando family will naturally attach great importance to this matter, and the apprentices stationed in the Empire will inevitably be mobilized.

In short, it's not just the extra apprentices who will appear in the count's territory; apprentices who were originally stationed in the empire may also appear here.

So, is this thin man a senior apprentice, an intermediate apprentice, or just a junior apprentice?

Yaro's estimate is impossible.

The gaunt man did not directly fight Yaro; he was consuming potions and using enchanted artifacts while fleeing.

However, all of these methods can be used once one becomes a wizard apprentice.

"No, that's not right. The magic servant at the beginning was very sophisticated. If it was a spell, it couldn't be a low-level spell. If it was an enchanted treasure, it would be a very valuable one. In addition, there were the potions and enchanted devices for speeding up that appeared later... It's unlikely that the person who appeared was a low-level apprentice."

Yaro returned to the fire and drew three circles in the sand with a dry twig.

Write "Magic Servant" in the first circle, "Vitality Potion?" in the second circle, and "Cat's Agility?" in the third circle.

Then, I drew several more circles around the 'Magic Servant' with dead wood.

"This is a detection trick that requires a constant infusion of magic. A low-level apprentice's magic can't last long, so the person who came is unlikely to be a low-level apprentice."

"Is it an advanced apprentice or an intermediate apprentice?"

Recalling the information given by Red Lanelli, Yaro wrote "Intermediate Apprentice?" on the sand.

Low-level apprentices lack sufficient magic power and are not of high status enough to carry valuable items.

However, it cannot be completely ruled out that the Fernando wizarding family is very wealthy, and even low-level apprentices can be equipped with a variety of precious magical artifacts and secret treasures.

As for advanced apprentices.

The Empire is already at the gates, and flesh and blood are being crushed in Scalo Fortress. This is the most crucial time to activate the Undead Jedi, and it is unlikely that a high-level apprentice would leave at this time.

If activating the Undead Territory fails, the Saint Fernando Empire's accumulated "Flesh People" will be completely wiped out, and it's unknown how long it will take to accumulate that many "Flesh People" again.

Moreover, the empire needs a reasonable justification to incite its mortals to attack the sheer cliff-like Scalo Fortress. If they fail this time, morale will be severely damaged, and it won't be so easy to incite them again next time.

Therefore, advanced apprentices would not easily leave Scalo Fortress; at most, intermediate apprentices would come!

Looking at the circles drawn on the sand that read "Intermediate Apprentice?" and the circles that read "Vitality Potion?" and "Cat's Agility?" in front of it, Yaro frowned slightly, suddenly feeling that something was wrong.

Yaro's abilities outside the market: He can only run on the ground, and his attack strength is roughly equivalent to a level two magic trick, but his strength lies in his slashing ability, which exceeds the casting of spells.

Compared to a formal knight:

Both lack ranged attacks, both possess slashing attacks that ordinary apprentices cannot withstand, and both wear heavy armor that is difficult to break.

The difference is:

The abilities that Yaro demonstrated outside the market included a short-range, agile, and rapid movement technique (Body Flicker Technique) and excellent sensory perception (Cat-Shaped Fist Running).

Given the complex circumstances at the time, Aro possessed combat abilities superior to those of regular knights.

"But the strength I displayed at the time was at most equivalent to an enhanced version of a regular Rider; the key weaknesses were not addressed."

Neither the formal knights nor Aro displayed any ranged attacks capable of harming intermediate or advanced apprentices.

If an intermediate apprentice can defeat a full-fledged knight, then he can certainly defeat Yarrow using the same method.

"So, if that person was an intermediate apprentice and also possessed a speed-enhancing artifact, why were they so cautious?"

"I was just about to give chase, but why didn't he even dare to test the waters? He immediately activated multiple treasures and turned to run away without looking back?"

"Does this mean that person was absolutely certain he was no match for me?"

"That doesn't make sense either. When I tested him earlier, he didn't seem to know about the arrest warrant."

Yaro casually tossed the dry wood into the fire and looked up at the silent, dark night outside.

Sparks occasionally burst from the flickering fire, like firecrackers, or like flashes of inspiration from the depths of one's mind.

"Magic Servant - Detection Ability".

"The ability to escape using potions, magical artifacts, and secret treasures."

"The opportune moment to ignite the withered forest will soon arrive."

"The bizarre behavior of fleeing as soon as they are discovered."

Clap!

Yaro broke off a dead tree branch and gazed intently at the starry sky.

"I...I'm really being watched!"

Furthermore, Yaro roughly guessed that the one targeting him was very likely that senior apprentice... or even the official wizards backed by the Fernando wizard family might make a move.

"Playing the fire for chestnuts?"

Yaro muttered to himself.

He could not stand idly by and watch the Fernando family sacrifice countless lives.

I also want to take this opportunity to gain a lot of experience points.

"This chestnut is difficult to obtain; we must improve our conventional combat capabilities as soon as possible!"

Adding some magic strike techniques might increase his maximum combat power, but Yaro isn't wearing the Demon Phoenix Golden Armor right now, which means he's intentionally reducing his use of magic strike techniques.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Unless it's a matter of life and death, Yaro doesn't want to use magic again.

Regarding the knight's path, not to mention that the training methods still need to be gradually refined, even if Yaro were to become a knight now, the improvement in combat power would not be significant.

The most obvious and quickest way to improve your strength is to add points to your spells!

"So... should I add some offensive spells or some support spells?"

Even if he adds some spells, Yaro will only add one of the following: "Feather Fall", "Growth", or "Lava Burst".
