I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

‘Roland, Roland, you're too bold today. Does advancing to Intermediate Apprentice make you think you're amazing? She's an Advanced... Well, I don't think I need to be so afraid of her anymore.’

Thinking of his senior sister's stern face and her mentor-like demeanor, Roland felt a surge of anger.

As his strength increased, he felt more and more that his senior sister needed to be taught a lesson.

He returned to his room, only to find the soft feather bed in the center of the large bedroom.

‘Wrong room!’

Roland hurriedly left the room, searching for his own room in the house.

Before he could find his room, he heard his senior sister calling him from upstairs.

“Roland, come here for a moment.”

Upon reaching the attic, Roland couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The small attic was now as large as a garden.

His senior sister seemed to have used magic or some strange object to expand it. The ground was covered with soil.

Different types of soil were placed in various locations throughout the small garden. In the center of the garden was a small fountain. Above the fountain was a bronze chalice covered with moss and ferns.

Roland was very surprised and asked, “Didn't the news say that you dedicated the chalice to the White Chess Queen?”

Catherine was squatting on the ground, sorting herbs, and said without looking up, “She has no possibility of further advancement and can't even extend her lifespan. It would just gather dust in the warehouse. I am her student, so her things are mine. It's only natural for them to be here with me.”

Roland's expression became extremely interesting.

His senior sister was truly audacious!

She offered the treasure to someone as a trade, got a lot of benefits, and then stole the treasure back!

The White Chess Queen is a Fourth-Order Radiant Moon Wizard! Someone as strong as her is the overlord of the Eastern Region!

If the White Chess Queen were to discover this act of freeloading, would things end well?!

“Where are your magic eyes? Take them out.”

Roland released three magic eyes. The magic eyes had many runes on them and had already been controlled by Roland according to the methods of Elina and the others.

Catherine frowned at Roland, “I'm not trying to steal your things. I want to cultivate them!”

Many things in the Black Abyss Academy were damaged, including the cultivation methods and related information for the magic eyes, which were deliberately taken away by Lilith.

Therefore, in the entire academy, probably no one knows more about this kind of thing than his senior sister.

Roland hesitated slightly and released two more magic eyes, “That's all, five in total.”

He wasn't lying.

Catherine couldn't help but be slightly stunned, “Why so few?”

Roland glanced at his senior sister secretly, not daring to say anything.

He had bought ten magic eyes before, and then he and Charlie and the others caught a lot. After being divided, there were more than a dozen in total.

But most of them were given to his junior sister.

He owed Helena a favor and naturally had to repay it.

Roland felt that this was only natural, a matter of social etiquette. But judging from his senior sister burning his letters and deliberately not letting him study the Elven Scripture, it was best not to mention this matter.

He changed the subject, “How can the magic eyes of the Black Forest be cultivated into true magic eyes?”

Senior Sister Catherine smiled and said, “Whether they are Black Forest magic eyes or academy magic eyes, they are both unnatural creatures. But their templates all come from one thing. That is the Echinoderm Demon.”

“Echinoderm Demon?”

“Yes.” Catherine looked at Roland and said, “Commonly known as ‘Tentacle Monster’ or ‘Lewd Beast.’”

Roland was very surprised. As a quasi-knight who used to mingle with adventurers, he had killed this kind of thing with his territory's retainers while patrolling around Valeria.

There were many types of these things. Some looked like thorny vines, hiding in bushes and attacking people.

Some Echinoderm Demons had bodies like jellyfish, and touching them would cause stings and paralysis, and then they would eat people.

These were okay, but some would lay eggs in people's bodies and even induce lust. Moreover, they didn't distinguish between men and women, which was very disgusting.

But magic eyes were completely different. Although some magic eyes had very evil magic, compared to tentacle monsters, they were much more upright. They ate people and absorbed magic power. They would parasitize offspring on corpses, but they wouldn't entangle people randomly and do those messy things.

Catherine said, “Take out the magic eye that turned into a wooden sculpture.”

Roland's heart skipped a beat. How did his senior sister know about this? He used this magic eye to subdue the Ballet Ghost back then.

Filled with thoughts, Roland took out the wooden sculpture. Catherine imprisoned the wooden sculpture in mid-air and then threw out a small comb.

After the comb flew out, it slowly combed around the wooden sculpture. Then, the petrified magic eye gradually recovered its form as if it had been massaged.

It seemed that this mirror was a research result of the Black Abyss Wizards targeting the Ballet Ghost's petrification. He didn't know if Nading had also used this kind of thing to cure Helena and the others back then. But this comb was very efficient.

After using the comb, Catherine casually threw the comb to Roland.

As soon as Roland looked, he found that it was a low-grade strange object. And it seemed to be newly made. It seemed that his senior sister had made it herself.

Probably no one in the academy except his senior sister knew how to make this kind of strange object targeting the Ballet Ghost.

He knew that his senior sister was giving him this strange object, and his expression couldn't help but be slightly happy.

But when he thought about the reason why his senior sister gave it to him, his expression stiffened slightly again. He thought to himself: ‘No, I should be overthinking it. She should have just heard Wallace say that I was being entangled by the Ballet Ghost, so she gave me a comb.’

Catherine said, “Magic eyes are neither male nor female, or rather, hermaphroditic. But the academy's magic eyes are female and have a uterus. As long as they are given specially cultivated potions, they will mate and reproduce. And the eggs conceived by the academy's magic eyes will have a greater probability of giving birth to academy magic eyes.”

Catherine brought Roland to a fern plant. This plant was more than half a meter tall and didn't seem to grow naturally, but was grafted and cultivated by Catherine.

She told Roland the cultivation method and asked him not to spread it.

His senior sister was now very unhappy with the elders of the Alexandra family and didn't want the family and the academy to obtain the cultivation method of the magic eyes.

Catherine said, “Normally speaking, this magic herb would take many years to cultivate. But with the chalice, it's different.”

Roland asked cautiously, “Are you planning to use this plant to induce estrus in the magic eyes? Will it have any effect on people?”

“Of course not, I've already matured it many times, there won't be any accidents.”

Roland secretly felt a little strange. Every time he matured magic herbs, some accidents would occur.

But it seemed that the things made by the real chalice were very standard?

Saying that, Catherine waved her hand to activate the magic array, and then took out a broken wine glass from her storage bag and handed it to Roland.

She squinted her eyes and said, “Water it, using the method you used to water the mermaid grass back then.”

Roland retreated half a step without showing any emotion, revealing a look of astonishment: “Mentor, I was crazy back then, I watered the herbs to death. Wine can't mature any magic herbs, who knows what will happen if you water it like this.”

Catherine sneered, “Roland, I've prepared the restrictions here for three days. If you think you can use the escape scroll I gave you to get away, you'll probably be disappointed. Be honest.”

Roland was shocked, he refused to admit it: “Mentor, I don't understand what you're talking about. What strange things can you mature by watering herbs with wine? You saw the mermaid grass back then, it rotted.”

Catherine's face was frosty, she gritted her teeth secretly. She couldn't wait to bite this kid!

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but mentioning it made her even angrier.

Back then, because of the mermaid incident, she stayed up for 7 days to write a paper. As a result, after submitting it to her mentor, she was ridiculed by her mentor, who said that she must have left sequelae after exploring the Yellow-Brown Fern Forest and suggested that she take medicine.
