I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

“Don't be impulsive.”

Charlie tugged at his two frowning friends beside him and solemnly approached the middle-level apprentice, saying, “May I ask…”

“Do you have identification?” The young wizard glanced at the group and interrupted Charlie. His expression was extremely arrogant, and a hint of anger couldn't help but appear in everyone’s eyes.

“Don't you understand the common tongue? Mission credentials, or a temporary forest entry permit!”

The young wizard took out his work badge, causing everyone to pause slightly.

【Name: Roland】

【Position: Staff】

【Post: Forest Ranger】

【…Relevant Crest…】

Everyone stretched their necks to look like stunned geese, and then the fire in their faces instantly vanished. They hurriedly began searching for the relevant documents.

After taking out three documents, Charlie and his two companions exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat unsightly.

Damn, they ran into a Forest Ranger!

The group wasn't here for a mission, so they needed a temporary forest entry permit. The three of them had it, but Helena had secretly followed along, and she didn't have a temporary forest entry permit!

“Why are there only three documents? What about the other one?” Roland frowned.

The senior students felt a slight tension in their hearts. Charlie secretly took out a small bag of magic stones and grasped Roland's hand, discreetly stuffing the bag into Roland's sleeve.

“My little sister's package was accidentally lost yesterday. You know, when traveling in the Black Forest, you always encounter various accidents. We'll leave today and come back after getting a replacement.”

Roland took the bag of magic stones out of his sleeve, weighed it in his hand, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

The others cursed inwardly. This guy was taking bribes right in front of their faces without any attempt to hide it. He was utterly shameless.

“Thirty magic stones, that's quite a bit, but I can't accept it.” Roland returned the bag to Charlie.

Everyone's expressions stiffened slightly, and they quietly gripped their magic wands.

Roland said, “Don't be nervous, everyone. I won't accept magic stones, but I do have a request. Was the magic eye nest to the north cleared by you? To be honest, this time I was planning to bring back some magic eyes on my patrol. I wonder if you'd be willing to sell any?”

Charlie revealed a look of understanding.

This guy was planning to strong-arm them!

Because these things were ugly and disgusting, and their combat power was far inferior to apprentices of the same level, and they were also very troublesome to cultivate, everyone had been too lazy to use them as magical servants in the past.

But recently, the price of magic eyes had gone crazy. Second and third-tier magic eyes were almost being priced the same as curiosities.

Moreover, many people intended to keep them for their own use after catching them and wouldn't sell them.

They had indeed caught quite a few this time, but they had other plans, so they were hesitant after hearing Roland's words.

After thinking for a moment, Charlie said, “Lord Roland, to be honest, we did catch a few magic eyes this time, but we were planning to keep them for our own use. However... for the sake of the academy's peace, we can consider squeezing out some magic eyes to sell to the Forest Ranger.”

Roland smiled and said, “The Ballet Ghosts have been causing too much trouble lately. I don't even dare patrol without magic eyes.”

Charlie smiled, intending to do him a favor. He directly offered to give Roland a magic eye, but Roland waved his hand and refused.

“Let's just do a normal transaction, according to the current market price.”

Roland said, “I plan to buy a few more to keep, and also give a few to friends. The magic eyes from that nest, there should be at least seven or eight. The traps there were very well done, you should have caught them all, right?”

This guy's appetite was too big!

The three of them couldn't help but frown.

One of his companions said, “Lord Roland, you know, finding a nest isn't easy. We've been exploring the Black Forest intermittently for two months to find this place.”

Charlie thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Lord Roland should know the location of every magic eye nest, right? Where do you plan to patrol next?”

The eyes of his two companions lit up, and Helena behind Charlie suddenly tugged at him.

“I can go anywhere. Magic eye nests? I do know a few.” Roland took out the Forest Ranger's map and explained it to everyone.

When everyone saw this map, their eyes widened, and their expressions were exactly the same as Alina and the others earlier.

Charlie said somewhat excitedly, “If Lord Roland is willing to accompany us, we can sell all the magic eyes we have to you! If we have any gains afterward, we'll split them according to the rules!”

Roland was secretly delighted and thought to himself, 'Finally, I've joined the team!'

Charlie and the others immediately took out their stock, adding up to as many as ten, and among them, there were even two second-tier magic eyes!

Roland was secretly shocked. It seemed that all the magic eyes in the entire nest had been captured alive.

The strength of these three senior students and that low-level apprentice was probably not much weaker than Alina and the others. They probably didn't encounter the Moss Giant by chance, but came here specifically to deal with it.

Roland planned to empty this group's magic eyes so that he could travel to more places with them. The senior students looked embarrassed, but after some communication, they heard that Roland was indeed willing to buy them at the market price, so they sold all ten magic eyes to Roland.

In total, there were more than 1,300 magic stones. After receiving the magic stones, Roland paid the money on the spot.

When everyone saw that Roland was generous and didn't even blink when taking out more than 1,000 magic stones, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Originally, judging by this kid's hair color and appearance, they thought he was a vassal of the Alexandra family, but now it seemed that he was a core member.

Everyone became much more enthusiastic, and Charlie even chatted with Roland for a few more sentences.

Under twenty, a middle-level apprentice, a Forest Ranger, with good strength, appearance, and talent. His temperament was also different from those Alexandras. And it seemed that he was single.

After thinking about it, Charlie decided to make a good connection, so he pulled his sister, who was hiding behind him, out and planned to introduce her.

After all, they would be traveling together next, and it would be good to have a mutual understanding as companions.

But Helena covered her face and kept hiding, which Charlie secretly disliked.

He smiled and said to Roland, “My sister is only 14 years old this year, and she has a very introverted personality. She usually doesn't like to talk and has social anxiety.”

As he spoke, he frowned and scolded, “Helena, have you forgotten the wizard etiquette that Miss Yingtao taught you? You're being too unladylike today!”

Roland suddenly frowned. He lowered his body and looked at the girl for a long time, then suddenly grabbed her hand and began to tug at her.

“Lord Roland!” Charlie and the others were furious, but they heard Roland say:

“Dead girl! Aren't you so poor that you pick up scraps? Don't hide, I recognized you! Quickly return the money to me!”

Everyone: “???”

Helena angrily argued with Roland, “Senior Roland! You're already so rich, and you're still thinking about my five magic stones! I won't return them!”

Everyone: “…”

“Hey, that's not right! Weren't you so poor a few days ago that you needed me to help you purchase goods? How did you suddenly become so rich!”

Roland's expression remained unchanged as he grabbed Helena's hand and said, “Before entering the Black Forest, I naturally had to take some curiosities to the casino to gamble! What did you think I was repairing curiosities for? I'm Valerian's God of Gamblers!”

This was Roland's prepared excuse. He had grown up in Valerian's adventurer tavern. The adventurers came from all over the world, and he had been deeply influenced by them, having some understanding of various games.

Although the games of wizards would be different from those of the secular world, with this foundation, he would understand after watching a few rounds.

As for the so-called God of Gamblers, every lousy gambler claimed to be one!

Everyone had lucky streaks, and he had just lost a large sum of money a while ago in his persona. It was reasonable to say that he had won some back this time.

At this moment, Roland felt a large hand heavily pat his shoulder.

He turned his head in astonishment and saw Charlie with fire in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat him.

“Brother Roland, let's set off quickly. After we're done, I have a good place. To be honest, I'm the God of Gamblers of the Black Abyss Academy!”

Roland: “?”

Charlie grabbed Roland's neck without explanation and began telling him about the vampire casino and those sexy succubus dealers.

Two days later...

Catherine, draped in a coat and holding a cup of black tea, stood at the second-floor window, gazing into the distance.

Not far from the Forest Ranger's headquarters, Roland and the five others were communicating something with smiles on their faces. After a moment, Charlie and the others agreed on something with Roland and then left reluctantly. But Helena broke away from the group and ran over to hug Roland's arm.

The junior sister was clinging to Senior Roland, and together they headed towards the Forest Ranger's headquarters.

Senior Sister Catherine took a sip of hot tea and slowly narrowed her eyes.
