Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 370 Rye Bread

"Is he... alright?"

The women may have some suspicions, but they dare not admit it.

Or perhaps, she was hoping and praying that since Xia Er and Hami could return now, why couldn't the others return at a later time?

She was waiting for old Charles's reply.

Yaro's eyes flickered slightly. If he remembered correctly, this name... corresponded to a new fire grave.

Therefore, it goes without saying what happened to the owner of this name.

After a long silence, old Charles's hoarse voice could be faintly heard from around the corner:

"It's my fault... for not taking good care of her."

"No……!"

Desperate wails mingled with the noise of the encampment, their mournful cries chilling and desolate, shaking the very core of the soul.

"I'm sorry," old Charles's voice was even lower.

"It's not your fault...it's...it was my greed...greed...waaaah...greed...waaaah!"

The other boys had already returned. Even if they didn't say it outright, how could the woman not feel the boys' evasive gazes?

As she said, she was greedy.

But... was she really greedy?

"Drew! My poor little Drew! Waaah! All my children are dead! Holy Father, why! Why!!"

……

Yaro looked at the piece of meat he had only taken a few bites of, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly.

"This meat...it has absolutely no flavor."

……

The sun has set, and the bright moon has risen.

Several bonfires had already been lit in the camp outside the window, and people were moving about as the disaster victims continued to work busily.

A spark ignited the brand-new copper gas lamp, its dim yellow light instantly filling the small wooden hut.

After quickly washing his body, Yaro washed off the rotten flesh and grease that clung to his leather armor, then dried it with a heat-melting technique before putting it back on.

He took the Fiery Greatsword, checked the remaining burning power of the molten stone, inspected the internal metal, and finally carefully applied a layer of blade oil.

After completing his routine weapon maintenance, Yaro took out the spellbook from his spatial ring and used this fragmented time, which he didn't know how long it would last, to re-examine the magic rune structure of the Small Fireball spell.

"Suddenly, the spell runes for the Fireball spell seem so simple! It's a wonder I couldn't learn it even after more than a month."

Yes, for some reason, the same trick had been reduced from the level of 'calculus' to the level of 'trigonometric functions'.

After learning the "Dragon's Movement Technique" using skill points, Yaro naturally also mastered the "Feather Fall Technique".

Judging from the 'wind-elemental void energy' magic power mobilized, 'Feather Fall Technique' still belongs to the first-level spell. However, it cannot be denied that because it borrows water and fire magic power to draw upon the 'wind-elemental void energy,' the internal magic rune structure of this spell casting method does indeed reach the level of a second-level spell.

For this reason, this trick naturally includes the spellcasting structures of water and fire magic runes. Naturally, after Yaro learned the "Feather Fall" spell, when he looked at the Small Fireball spell, he felt that he already knew many of the structures. Other structures were just variations of certain magic runes, and there was not much left to memorize.

"I practiced all of the rest a month ago."

Memory is not isolated. When recalling something, you may first recall a single point, and then gradually the memory becomes clearer as you move from that point to the broader picture.

Yaro had studied for a month before, but his memories were not very clear. However, after becoming familiar with some of the structures, he would start to recall other related structures from specific points.

This is similar to memorizing a poem; once you read the first stanza, you can naturally memorize the rest.

Therefore, after Yaro repeatedly memorized the information and pieced together the memory fragments, he was able to confirm with practice that he had memorized all the magic runes of the Small Fireball spell.

In fact, if he didn't prioritize casting speed, he was confident he could use it now.

"I'll practice casting speed when I have more free time later. For now, let's take a look at 'Water Mirror Technique'."

Water Mirror Technique and Small Fireball Technique are both Level 1 tricks, and they are also attribute types included in 'Feather Fall Technique'. Even if you haven't learned them beforehand, the difficulty shouldn't be too high.

……

dong dong!

Two light taps interrupted Yaro's thoughts.

"Who?"

"Brother Yue, you're still awake?" the boy's voice came from outside.

"Hami?" Yarrow picked up the parchment from the table, stood up, and replied, "Has Baron Claire returned?"

"It's me. The Baron hasn't returned yet. I've come to bring you some food."

food?

Yaro shook his head. "Thank you, I'm not hungry."

"Brother Yue, you should try this. It's the fragrant rye bread I told you about on the way here. It's especially delicious."

The boy persisted, saying, "Open the door, or if that doesn't work, open the window, and I'll pass it to you through the window."

"No need, I've already eaten the dry rations I brought."

Yaro's spatial ring was already well-stocked with food, and besides, he wanted to take advantage of his current momentum to thoroughly research the "Water Mirror Technique".

"Brother Yue, didn't we agree on the way back that I'd treat you to rye bread when we got back? You promised!"

"And this rye bread is really delicious. When you first taste it, you get a slightly sour, appetizing flavor. Then, when you bite into it, it's chewy like a piece of meat. The more you chew, the more fragrant and sweet it becomes. Your mouth will water involuntarily..."

If Yaro had overheard the conversation between Hami and old Sharl, he might have understood that Hami had already memorized those words.

However, Yaro had never heard of it before, which sparked his interest in the so-called rye bread.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming to open the door."

Activating "Cat-Shaped Fist Run," Yaro focused his senses on his surroundings.

After confirming that there was only one person outside, he got out of bed, removed the wooden bolt, and slowly opened the wooden door.

"Brother Yue."

Hami walked over cheerfully: "This was specially made for you by Mrs. Wenlin. It's just come out of the oven. Try it, isn't it delicious!"

Yaro casually took it: "You go back first, I'll eat slowly later."

"Okay, alright," Hami turned around and took two steps, then turned back and added, "Brother Yue, don't wait too long. Rye bread gets very hard if left out too long."

"Okay."

After the boy left, Yaro finally had time to examine the bread in his hand.

The bread is long and thick, golden in color, and browned on the surface. Even now, while it is still steaming, its exterior remains hard, giving it a peculiar, wood-like texture.

This peculiar hardness reminded Yaro of grilled fish with a charred exterior, and also of that silly girl.

"So, will it taste like charcoal-grilled fish?"

Just thinking about the taste of grilled fish made Yalu's mouth water uncontrollably.

It's a food with magical properties.

For some reason, he suddenly felt hungry.
