Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 462 Initial Cooperation

"Blood Frenzy? I think I've heard of a knight's secret technique with the same name."

Anabe looked up, slightly puzzled, and asked:

"Mr. Yue, are you mistaken? Although we demon hunters possess power comparable to that of a formal knight, we cannot learn the unique secret techniques of a knight because we do not have the life seed of a formal knight."

Yaro handed over the book, gesturing, "Open it and take a look."

Anabe took the book, turned to a page, and immediately noticed the difference in this "Knight's Secret Techniques".

This "Knight" secret technique is actually targeted at a group that is not a formal knight who possesses the Seed of Life!

This alone was enough to pique Anabe's interest.

Excitement and curiosity gradually appeared in his eyes, and the frivolous expression on his face completely disappeared. He casually sat on the ground and became completely absorbed in the world of the book.

Francis and Edgar exchanged glances, both sensing Anabe's interest and focus on the book, yet they couldn't understand what was so captivating about it that allowed it to directly offset all the magical plants Anabe had collected over six or seven days.

Although they knew nothing about the contents of the book, they dared not disturb it and could only wait silently, hoping that Anabe would reveal the secrets within.

Yaro didn't urge him, leisurely savoring the wine in his glass.

In the spacious and quiet reception room, only the soft sounds of paper rubbing and turning pages echoed in the air, creating a quiet and mysterious library atmosphere.

When Anabe had read more than half of the book, he suddenly frowned, his turning of the pages became slower and slower, and he occasionally gestured with his hands as if he were trying to deduce the actions in the book, as if he had encountered some difficulties or things that were hard to understand.

Snapped!

Anabe closed the book, shut his eyes, as if summarizing the entire book's contents in his mind.

A moment later, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had enjoyed an ultimate feast, with a satisfied expression on his face.

"How is it?" Yaro asked with a smile, swirling his wine glass.

Anabe praised lavishly: "Interlocking plot twists, absolutely brilliant!"

Meeting the questioning looks of Francis and Edgar, Anabe explained:

"This book is not actually a knight's secret technique... no, that's not quite right either. Even formal knights can refer to this book to learn this secret technique."

However, the most important function of this book is actually to allow ordinary people to directly learn the knight's "Aura Frenzy" secret technique by consuming magical plants rich in life force from the outside world!

The secret technique that allows ordinary people to become knights?

A magical plant brimming with vitality?

The two witchers glanced instinctively at the bag beside them.

Anabe ignored the reactions of the other two witchers, casually offered an explanation, and then looked at Yaro again, saying:

"Mr. Yue, I admit that the secret technique you designed is very ingenious, and I have even gained a lot of inspiration from it."

The entire book is designed like a drop of ink falling onto a blank sheet of paper, then being shaken and swayed to create a beautiful picture.

And it is entirely feasible!

Anabe paused for a moment, then asked with a puzzled look, "But don't you think the whole book is too tedious and complicated?"

Mood changes, muscle angles, fatigue levels...

The various requirements are interconnected, and even skilled individuals who train for several years cannot guarantee that they can fully master them. The amount of magical plants that may be wasted in the process is incalculable.

Is it really necessary to go to such great lengths just to teach one person such a simple knightly technique?

Yaro understood Anabe's concerns.

The difficulty was too high, the losses were too heavy, and the huge cost resulted in little return. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was a waste of resources.

It's not that it's useless, but rather that it's not very practical.

Instead of spending the time learning "Breath Rage" on knight training, and using the same or even fewer magical plant materials, you might be able to train someone into a formal knight directly. Why go through all that trouble?

Why would Bard agree?

Because he neither knew the inside story nor had any choice.

Not everyone is Baron Claire, who can eat ordinary food and train to become a formal knight.

"What if I told you I had a way to reduce the difficulty of learning, or even eliminate the need for practicing the movements?" Yaro said with a gentle smile.

Anabe was taken aback at first, then quickly asked, "What method?"

"I just acquired a suit of armor that can move on its own. If someone preparing to learn 'Aura Frenzy' wears this armor, and the armor moves the wearer inside, wouldn't that eliminate the need for learning the movements and guarantee no mistakes?"

Anabe immediately realized a loophole: "What about the muscles? In this kind of passive twisting of the body, the muscles don't exert any force."

Yaro swirled his wine glass and smiled as he said:

"If the armor can't make the muscles exert force, doesn't the wearer know how to exert force?"

Furthermore, sharp protrusions can be set inside the armor, so that if you want a certain muscle to exert force, those protrusions can be set to pierce the corresponding muscle.

When the body feels pain, muscles usually tighten automatically. This is a self-protective mechanism of the body. The body reduces further damage and pain by contracting the muscles.

With those convex stimuli, the muscles will have to exert force even if they don't want to!

This muscle tension reaction, known in previous lives as 'muscle tension' or 'muscle spasm', can occur immediately after injury or as a nerve reaction caused by pain.

"And what about the difference in physical fatigue?" Anabe asked again.

Yaro said, "It is indeed a bit troublesome to make one side of the body tired as soon as possible, but we don't need to use the magic plant in this section, so we can try it slowly. If it really doesn't work, we can also use the battle armor to learn the postures recorded in 'Blood Frenzy'."

"And what about emotional changes?" Anabe asked again.

Yaro chuckled to himself:

"You need to ask me about this? If you want to resolve it yourself, then come back to me for two more slaps. If that's not enough, then I'll add two more."

When you need to calm down, try to adjust yourself. If that doesn't work, send me magic stones in advance, and I'll send you a sincere apology at an appropriate time.

"Can I get rid of the magic stone if I'm not sincere enough?" Anabe asked with a smile.

Yaro shrugged and said, "That won't do. I can only guarantee the time, not the results."

Anabe laughed heartily, handing the book "Breath Frenzy" to Yaro, and said, "Alright, reserve a spot for me!"

"Reservations are no problem, but there are a few things I need to clarify beforehand..."

Anabe nodded: "Go on."

The two witchers who had been silent for a long time also perked up their ears.

Yarrow put down his wine glass, looked at Anabe, and said seriously:

"You've finished reading about the Qi and Blood Frenzy, so you should be very clear about its value."

It would normally cost hundreds of magic stones to acquire knightly techniques at the market, but this Blood Frenzy manual can be learned by ordinary people, so it's no exaggeration to say it's worth thousands.

It's far beyond what you can obtain by collecting magical plants for just a few days or half a month.

But I'm still willing to keep my promise. If you help me collect materials for half a month, I'll give you a copy of "Qi and Blood Frenzy".

"Yes, the other witchers are the same."

Anabe frowned slightly and said:

"I acknowledge its value, but it's difficult to learn from just one book under normal circumstances. To reach thousands of views, it needs to be combined with other methods, and only you can do those other methods."

Yarrow nodded and said:

You're right.

Even without using the accompanying methods, this "Blood Frenzy" manual is still suitable for ordinary formal knights to learn. In any case, the price of a knight's secret technique is still worthwhile.

Collecting magical plants in half a month, consider that your textbook fee.

From now on, every time you come here for a day of training, in addition to preparing the magical plants you need for that day's training, you also need to prepare an equal amount of magical plants to give to me.

This is the equipment fee for the day.

Just then, Edgar suddenly interrupted, "We understand the cost of textbooks, but isn't the equipment cost too high?"

"What's wrong with the equipment fee?" Yaro looked up and asked. "Doesn't the armor consume energy to control your bodies? Shouldn't I be charged for modifying and adjusting the armor?"

"I've already given you 'Blood Frenzy' at a bargain price, what? You're still not satisfied? You want to take advantage of me for nothing?"

"That's not what I meant," Edgar said, waving his hand.

"Then what do you mean?" Yaro stood his ground, showing no sympathy for the other two witchers.

Faced with Yarrow's questioning, Edgar calmly replied:

"Mr. Yue, I understand that the armor consumes energy, and I also understand that you need to put in effort and time to modify and adjust the armor."

At the same time, the price of "Blood Frenzy" is indeed very favorable, and we are very grateful that you are willing to keep your previous agreement with Anabe.

But you should also understand that the number of magical plants full of vitality is not infinite. The more you collect, the harder it will be to find them later.

We are not dissatisfied, nor do we want to take advantage of your efforts and resources for nothing.

However, we must consider a real-world scenario.

Will the number of magical plants we collect later really be enough to satisfy our learning needs?

How many people can it satisfy?

If it's only something a few old guys like us can learn, then it's not really that meaningful.

Mr. Yue, I just hope we can find a more suitable solution.

Edgar's words were reasonable and well-founded, and they did indeed persuade Yarrow.

The same practical problem arises: if a demon hunter finds "Breath Rage" too useless and doesn't want to learn it, then at most, Yaro can only use the past to get these demon hunters to prepare materials for him alone, but he can't benefit from it in the long run.

Seeing that Yaro was deep in thought, Edgar asked again, "No offense, Mr. Yue, why do you need so many life-giving magical plants? Are there any places where we can find suitable alternatives for you?"

It is clear that Edgar was indeed seeking a suitable solution and trying to find a way to solve this problem.

Yaro's mind raced, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "I intend to use a portion for research... but a larger portion is also intended for training other people."

"Is it your relative?" Edgar immediately asked.

Yaro said unhappily, "You know perfectly well that I come from somewhere else, what do you mean by saying such things?"

"Please don't misunderstand, I'm just confirming," Edgar said calmly. "Since you want to train other people, why not just train them to be witchers?"

Yaro frowned slightly: "Trying to use me again?"

"No, it's not about exploitation, it's about cooperation, and that's the main purpose of our visit."

Having said that, Edgar stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Excellency Viscount, the mighty Mr. Yarrow..."

Upon hearing the word "Yaro," Yaro showed no surprise.

He had long suspected that these witchers who were using him knew his true identity.

Edgar continued, "You have the strength and the territory, but you lack the right manpower. We, the Scorpion Lion School, have a complete training program and experience in establishing academies in the Earl's territory. We can cooperate."

"Are you ready to change your mind and stop clinging to the so-called 'witch hunters don't get involved in politics'?" Yaro asked directly.

Edgar remained composed: "This is the foundation of the Witcher's existence, and of course it cannot be changed. But you are also an outsider, and a wizard at the same time. You, too, will not be involved in politics, will you?"

Yarrow waved his hand and retorted, "I don't know what your understanding of politics is. I may not get involved in disputes between nobles, but if someone or a wizard wants to invade my territory, I will not stand idly by. Similarly, I don't need subordinates who stand idly by!"

Upon hearing these words, the demon hunters fell silent.

When Yarrow spoke of himself and the viscount's territory, wasn't he also subtly alluding to the earl's territory?

"We are not standing idly by!" Francis, a rugged-looking man, suddenly stood up, his strong, bear-like body radiating a violent aura.

Yaro didn't even blink, his lips moved slightly, and he uttered a few words: "The key to solving this problem—is me."

Francis's face stiffened, and he began to breathe rapidly.

Arro ignored him and turned to Anabe, who was standing to the side: "I have an idea, you can try listening to it."

"You said it, so we can all take a look," Anabe said with a smile.

"I agree with what Edgar just said; I can also establish an academy..."

At this point, Yaro paused, noticed the slight change in the expressions on the faces of the demon hunters, smiled slightly, and continued, "Listen carefully, it is I who will establish the academy, not you who will establish the academy."

"What's the difference?" Anabe asked, somewhat confused.

Yaro's calculations were meticulous: "The difference is that I can name this academy whatever I want. You can join in and form a separate branch called 'Scorpion Lion School.' You don't have to take responsibility for the defense of the territory, but you also need to send people to help me manage the other branches, and you should collect as many magical plants as possible. I can distribute them reasonably according to the quantity."

Don't you have a complete training program and experience in establishing academies in the Earl's territory?

Great, it's mine now.
