Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 487 The Lion King Theory

early morning.

Lan'er Village, New Urban Area.

Just one night later, a somewhat rugged bluestone manor suddenly stood in the messy wilderness.

The busy migrants in the college district looked worried, occasionally whispering among themselves, their words filled with anxiety about the future.

The fact that these newly arrived "wealthy merchants" were able to complete the training ground, which was barely even a bare shell, in just half a day is enough to show that they have many "skilled craftsmen".

They had assumed that those "skilled craftsmen" only knew how to do exquisite crafts and wouldn't bother with or even bother with building houses, but the appearance of this manor shattered the refugees' illusions.

If these "wealthy merchants" help the Viscount repair his house, how will these homeless vagrants survive?

Just as the refugees were feeling lost about the future, in that brand-new manor, the person they longed for also had his own worries.

The sexy and alluring Elena Taylor, now with a solemn expression, respectfully addressed the man in the room, saying, "Uncle Karel, he refused."

The man in the room was using earth magic to create intricate carvings on the wall. Hearing this, he turned around in surprise: "He refused? Didn't I tell you to first discuss the marriage alliance with him, and if he didn't agree, then we could offer maids and various resources?"

If Yaro could see him, he would recognize that this middle-aged man was the one who had invited Yaro to visit the Taylor family not long ago after Yaro killed Morton.

This is actually normal.

Those who can invite others to their home must hold a high position within the Taylor family.

Elena Taylor nodded. "Uncle, I completely understand what you mean. You want me to say something that would be great if it came true, but it's okay if it doesn't."

If he refuses, then we'll reveal our true intentions: to offer him a benefit without expecting anything in return.

"That's well said, but not comprehensive enough."

Karel turned around, his palms glowing with a faint magical energy, as if kneading clay, and continued to skillfully mold one majestic and solemn figure after another onto the rock wall, instructing as he did so:

"Elena, just like you said, unless you can make him insist on marrying you in a short period of time, the marriage will not be successful."

But you should also know that it's impossible to achieve that level through normal means.

Therefore, if he agrees, it actually shows that he is not trustworthy.

He might not even care about this place, and might never come back, which is why he's taking advantage of any opportunity.

Elena Taylor's expression changed slightly.

Her family made her a 'teacher' and even had her propose a 'marriage,' implying that she was intended to be a marriage partner.

No, even more than that!

Regardless of whether the marriage alliance succeeds or not, the family intends to force her to sell her body!

After seeing the record stone, she initially thought it was a good thing, a pleasant job.

Unexpectedly, I was just a pawn used for testing, or even a discarded piece!

As if knowing Elena Taylor's thoughts, Karel added:

"Of course, it doesn't matter if he just wants to take advantage of us."

With his current strength and future potential, once you have the title of "Yaro's Wife", at least in this area, you will no longer be in danger of death, and even your family will have to rely on your protection!

With proper maneuvering, it's even possible to seize control of the Fernando wizarding family's resource territories and rival them!

Elena Taylor's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she asked, puzzled, "How can a mere title have such a powerful effect?"

"Why not?"

Karel stopped what he was doing, turned around and explained:

"The Fernando wizarding family, having lost its official wizard, may still possess some means to rival an official wizard, but these are inevitably limited. Furthermore, without the suppression of an official wizard, their vast and high-quality resource land will continue to attract the greed of all sorts of wolves and tigers."

"The Fernando wizarding family is like an old and frail lion king. Every outburst will hasten its demise. They must maintain the current situation as much as possible until they can cultivate the next official wizard."

"Lord Yarrow is quite the opposite."

"Although he has not yet become a formal wizard, he has a record of killing formal wizards, and this time he has also proven that he still maintains that level of combat power. Moreover, considering that he became an intermediate apprentice in just one year, he has a very high chance of becoming a formal wizard in the future."

"The Fernando wizarding family has lost its official wizards, but possesses vast tracts of high-quality resources. Lord Yarrow has the combat power of an official wizard and is very likely to become one in the future, yet he has no resource-rich lands."

"One has a large family and great wealth, but lacks the lasting deterrent power to suppress everything; the other has lasting deterrent power but no family fortune."

At this point, Karel paused, then probed, "Elena, have you noticed the problem?"

Elena Taylor blurted out, "They complement each other perfectly!"

Before she could finish speaking, Elena Taylor suddenly realized something and frowned, saying, "If that's the case, why hasn't the Fernando wizarding family sent anyone to contact Lord Yaro?"

Karel countered, "Elena, our family crest is a raging lion. Do you know what an old lion king does when it encounters a young, foreign lion?"

"Drive them away, kill them!" Elena Taylor said.

Karel asked, "Wouldn't it feed its own body to the young lion, so that the young lion could become the new lion king as soon as possible?"

Elena Taylor seemed to understand a bit. "Of course not. Although it is old, it is still 'alive'. If it can 'live,' it will not actively seek 'death.'"

Therefore, precisely because of Lord Yarrow's strength, the Fernando wizarding family is even less likely to cooperate with him; they will only be wary of him, guard against him, and even want to kill him!

Karel continued, "What if there are many jackals eyeing the old lion king, and all of them are after him, while the young lion prefers to stay out of trouble and quietly huddles in a secluded corner of its territory?"

"Then the old lion will naturally not easily provoke the young lion, and may even give up that remote territory, because it first needs to deal with the jackals that are nearby," Elena Taylor said.

"That's right! That's our current situation! So, let's go back to our initial question. Why is it that having the title of 'Yaro's wife' allows her to stand on equal footing with the Fernando wizarding family?"

Elena Taylor glanced at the smiling Karel, a flash of inspiration striking her. She pondered, "Because... a leader has emerged within the jackal pack, and one that the old lion king dares not touch!"

"Why doesn't the old lion king dare to touch this leader?"

Elena Taylor smiled charmingly and said softly, "Because Lord Yaro is still alive, and he is very likely to grow to the point where he can directly destroy the Fernando wizarding family."

No one can guarantee when he will remember his 'wife' in this remote area.

Furthermore, even if he doesn't grow any stronger, his current combat power, if he were willing to lead the 'Jackals,' would be enough to devour the current 'Old Lion King,' so the 'Old Lion King' would avoid provoking him.

Karel nodded slightly. "It's already quite impressive that you thought of that!"

Elena Taylor was taken aback, then lowered her head and said, "Uncle, please give me some pointers."

"Elena, you haven't considered the overall picture."

"Holisticity?"

Karel pointed out, "The angle of the entire region."

Elena Taylor frowned slightly. "Uncle, I don't understand."

"Your vision can't be limited to the 'jackals' and the 'lion king'; you need to open your eyes and see what's going on outside," Karel advised.

Elena Taylor's face lit up with realization. She looked around, and although all she could see were blue stone walls, her gaze seemed to reach an extremely distant place. "You mean... the market deep in the Dark Plains?"

"Yes! The lack of a formal wizard to suppress it will naturally attract greedy eyes from all around."

If we can use the name of "Lord Yarrow", we may be able to reach some kind of understanding with the Fernando wizard family.

This is the key to rivaling the Fernando wizarding family!
