Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 563 Planning

"Can different styles really cause conflict?"

Claire was deeply puzzled.

Yarrow explained:

"With different styles, it is difficult to integrate into the original system peacefully. If there are one or two more conflicting events, it can directly separate the martial artists who learn martial arts from the knights who learn the knight breathing technique, making the two more opposed and incompatible."

"If they can't stand each other, they can only choose one path, either to the left or to the right."

"But you can walk on two legs, generate life force with the Knight's Breathing Technique, and use life force with martial arts."

We cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater just because the enemy can learn the martial arts we spread. Therefore, Yaro is prepared to make the enemy cripple their own martial arts.

Claire: "Who can guarantee that a conflict will definitely occur?"

Yaro nodded and said, "Although a conflict is highly likely to occur, it is indeed a matter of chance. However, if someone deliberately brings it together, it can become inevitable."

Who will facilitate this?

"..."

Yaro simply looked at Claire.

Claire fell silent.

He admitted that the wizard Yarrow was completely willing to answer any question.

The wizard Yaro's goals were simple: to stop the war in the count's territory and to spread the "martial arts" he had created.

But just as the larger the circle of knowledge, the more unknowns one encounters, the more questions he asked, the more doubts he had in his heart.

He didn't know what the future held, but Wizard Yaro seemed to have already found the direction for the future.

He had a vague feeling that this might be a good idea.

But he was also uneasy—he was also a formal knight.

If this causes conflict between formal knights and warriors in the San Fernando Empire, the Earl's territory, as a place of promotion, will certainly need to abandon the title of formal knight.

In other words, Claire needs to give up her identity as a formal knight and become the banner of "martial arts," leading the fight against almost all formal knights.

What did he transform into—a "hero"?

Regardless of whether they successfully upset the official Cavaliers.

Even if the official knights successfully suppress this controversy, Claire will never regain her status as an official knight.

This is why Claire hesitated.

"Lord Yarrow, are you asking me to dig my own grave?" Claire asked bitterly.

Yarrow took a sip of tea. "If we don't offer enticing benefits, we can't divert those soldiers' attention. If we can't shake their united front against the enemy, the predicament of your earldom cannot be resolved."

After a pause, Yaro raised his head and said earnestly:

"I'm not asking you to dig your own grave, I'm just letting you put on new clothes and escape from the cemetery."

"Or would you rather die with all your family and friends, bearing the name of a knight, than relinquish your knightly identity and fight for everyone's survival?"

Claire was speechless and remained silent.

stomping on...

With a series of light footsteps, Bevan came running up, panting.

"Teacher, the wine is here!"

"Let's leave it for now, I'm full from drinking tea."

"?"

Who just said that tea has no flavor?

Bevin was full of doubts, but he didn't say anything. He obediently put the bottle on the table. When he looked up, he suddenly noticed the two books in front of Claire.

"Huh? Teacher, are you planning to have my father learn the Bajiquan method too?"

Learn it too?

Claire looked up at her.

Yaro nodded slightly and said:

"I do have that idea, but what you just said reminded me that your father has a life seed, making it easier for him to learn the Eight Extremes Method, and his life force doesn't damage his body like magic."

He can definitely figure it out first, and then teach you after he's familiar with it. This will help you avoid some pitfalls.

"Teacher, can't you teach me?" Bevan asked somewhat reluctantly.

Yaro laughed and said, "This book has only just been written, and I haven't studied it yet."

Yaro did know it, but he mastered it all at once and was unaware of the potential problems he might encounter along the way.

Moreover, he only understands it in his mind; he has never actually practiced it in its entirety.

"Teacher, didn't you use 'Death's Gate' yesterday? And you didn't prepare beforehand, so you must have used magic..."

"Wait a moment!"

Claire grew impatient and interrupted their conversation.

He turned to look at Yaro, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly:

"Why does Bevin have to learn this too?"

Is everyone using Bevin to blackmail him?

Yaro said calmly:

"Beiwen originally wanted to learn, and this is my teaching arrangement for him as his teacher."

And you... I simply gave you a choice.

I'm helping you only because the fall of Earl Scarlo's territory might affect Viscount Lix's territory, but that doesn't mean it will definitely have an impact.

Furthermore, spreading martial arts skills doesn't necessarily have to rely on you. I have my own academy, and I can teach them gradually as well.

You must understand—this is your war, not mine.

In fact, after realizing the extent of the Fernando wizarding family's control over the situation, Yaro already understood that slowly spreading martial arts was simply not going to work.

Only by instigating conflict and allowing some middle-class soldiers to break free from the control of the San Fernando Empire, can the seeds of martial arts be protected and given fertile ground to grow, thanks to the chaos.

The Cat School Academy is too conspicuous; it can only serve as a banner, a sacred place of martial arts, but it cannot fulfill its purpose of spreading martial arts.

Claire is indeed very important.

But Yaro's help to him was genuine.

As Yarrow said, this is not his war.

Even if Claire doesn't accept it, the worst-case scenario for Yaro is simply to give up here and start over somewhere else.

Does Claire have any other options?

Yaro had no need to threaten him.

Bevan looked at his teacher, then at his father.

Even he could sense that something was off about the atmosphere.

Although he didn't quite understand what had happened, he quickly changed the subject:

"Father, when I was copying these two books, I felt they were very suitable for you, and might even help you break through to become a Great Knight! Father, have you read them? I also contributed to the creation of these two books! I simplified and revised a lot of the content."

Is this a simplified and modified version by Bevin?

Help me become a great knight?

Claire's displeasure dissipated considerably, and she finally turned her gaze to the two books on the table.

He had long since given up on the idea of ​​becoming a great knight, but upon hearing those words, he couldn't help but be distracted.

Besides, he also wanted to see what two books Bevan had edited and simplified.

"Great Knight?" Yaro looked at Claire and asked curiously, "I've heard this term a few times, but I've never quite understood what a Great Knight is. Is someone stronger than a regular knight called a Great Knight?"
