Even though the skin has darkened, the tenderness on the facial contours cannot be concealed. Anyone with a little experience can tell that Yaro is not old.
But Yaro's mature acting style and sophistication in his words give people a subtle sense of dislocation, making people unconsciously ignore the childishness in Yaro's face.
This sense of dislocation would only make people think of Yaro's age. Against the backdrop of his dark skin, one might mistake Yaro, who is 1.5 meters tall, for a relatively short seventeen-eighth-year-old. Year old boy.
But after knowing that Yarrow was a real wizard, Claire no longer believed in Yarrow's appearance. He could only make predictions based on Yarrow's behavior.
After shielding himself from judgment based on appearance, Yaro's sense of misplacement in his actions became even more obvious.
Sometimes I feel like a child, sometimes like a young man, and sometimes - I feel like an old child?
Thinking of the rumors about some wizards who used blood to stay young, Claire couldn't help but be a little wary, but it also made him more in awe of Yarrow.
"Mr. Yarrow, have you eliminated all those monsters?" Claire asked Yarrow politely and eagerly, maintaining her pride as a baron and maintaining the attitude that a master should have.
After confirming the identity of Yaro's wizard, the credibility of Yaro's previous words naturally increased greatly.
However, it was impossible for Claire to use the lives of guards and bodyguards to verify it. He first needed to get definite information from Yaro.
"You can't say everything is wiped out," Yaro said, groping in his arms, then taking out a palm-sized object and throwing it casually on the table.
Bang bang bang...
With a series of crisp sounds, the disc-shaped black gel material rotated and swayed faster and faster on the table, and became lower and lower.
Yaro looked at the black gelatinous substance that gradually stabilized and explained to Claire: "I happened to be walking out of the forest from the lumberyard. I only encountered one monster there. After destroying that monster, I left this thing."
"Judging from what you said before, there must be a lot of monsters like that, so it can't be said that I eliminated them all. I only eliminated one over there at the lumber mill."
It can't be completely regarded as a coincidence that Yaro came out from the direction of the lumber camp.
The lumber camp was built precisely because the roads at that location were open and made it easier to transport lumber.
It was precisely because there was a lumberyard there that had been heavily logging, and the smell of dead trees was so strong that it attracted the white deer to sense it.
It is precisely because of the emergence of powerful shadow beasts that Perrin Manor cannot lack wood, so they go to the lumberyard many times during the day and mine large amounts of wood back and forth.
Because of this, when Yaro asked where there were a large number of humans, he was led all the way by the white deer.
Not so much a coincidence.
Rather, it is a necessity under many conditions.
"this thing……"
Claire unconsciously stretched out her hand, wanting to pick it up and check it, but when she was about to touch it, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly pulled back her hand, as if she was afraid of something.
Seeing this, Yaro said with relief: "Don't worry, Lord Baron, that monster is dead. This is just like the monster's ashes, there is not much harm."
"Oh? Oh!" Claire seemed to be in a daze for a moment. After hearing Yaro's suggestion, she responded inexplicably twice, came back to her senses, and hesitantly grabbed the piece of black colloid.
This piece of black glue is unexpectedly light and feels a bit like balsa wood flakes, but it has a strange soft feeling when pressed.
In terms of feel, I can only recognize that this thing is strange, a bit like some strange pancake food, but I can't tell what is so strange about it.
Claire looked at it seriously for a moment. She really couldn't figure out the reason, so she had to raise her head and ask, "Mr. Yaro, does this thing have any effect?"
effect?
This is a thin lump of shadow energy burned and condensed by fire elements. If given to a shadow wizard, it can also be used as a casting material or as food for contracted shadow beasts.
Even if you leave it in the sun for a few days, it will dissipate automatically. For ordinary people, it has no effect at all.
However, Yaro naturally would not speak out.
Didn't he put this item away because he hoped to reuse it?
"Thank you very much. I happen to be thirsty."
After thanking the maid who brought him coffee, Yaro turned around and said with a smile, "I'm not sure either."
"but--"
"After all, it's something left behind by such a powerful evil creature, so it must be some kind of treasure, right?"
"Are you interested, Lord Baron?"
Yaro added a piece of hard candy, stirred the coffee gently, looked at Claire and added: "After all, this is obtained from hunting in the Baron's territory. If you want it, I can transfer it to you at a low price."
Anyway, it is of little use, and the longer it is stored, the more the shadow energy contained in the colloid will dissipate. When it becomes thin to a certain extent, it will automatically collapse at any time.
This thing is a bit like evil spirit powder. It only has a certain value after collecting a sufficient amount.
When it was a small piece alone in the academy, even if it fell to the ground, Yaro didn't bother to pick it up.
When collecting the evil spirit powder, Yaro didn't say anything about cleaning things up. He would only clean up the more accumulated ones and not waste time on the scattered ones.
If this were not the case, when Yaro first entered the bloody forest, there would not have been a dense glow like stars in the sky at night.
Claire kept looking at the thin colloid in her hand, with a slight glint in her eyes, as if she was a little moved.
But after a moment, he sighed, shook his head, and put it down.
"Lord Baron, what's wrong?" Yaro noticed that the Baron was interested in this thing and quickly asked, "Is there any difficulty?"
Maybe, I can take action on this 'trash' I picked up!
Claire glanced at Yaro, tapped her finger on the table, and said after careful consideration: "My territory is not big, not to mention the people. The annual income of these people in the manor is really not high."
"I originally wanted to use the ten gold coins as a reward for a method that could deal with the 'Shadow', but by chance I met Master Yaro and gambled it away on impulse."
what?
Don't want to pay any more?
Yaro smiled gently and said nothing.
Claire could only continue: "There are only three gold coins in the manor that can be used..."
The spoon lightly tapped on the rim of the cup, and with a crisp sound, Yaro said decisively: "Deal!"
Claire was startled, glanced at the thin black leather on the table, and fell silent again.
His heart was moved, but he was hesitating.
Yarrow judged Claire's thoughts at this time and struck while the iron was hot: "You can tell by looking at my clothes that I happen to have nowhere to go. Why don't you find a place for me to live in the territory, Lord Baron. In return, I will help you put all the shadows Clean up.”
These are the two purposes of Yarrow.
Live here and clear the shadows to gain experience.
At this time, Yaluo used one as a condition and exchanged the other as a reward. It can be said that he killed multiple birds with one stone.
"make a deal!"
