I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

In fact, this saying is also popular among wizards. It is believed that when people lie down to sleep, they dream of Heraka's shepherd, and are taken away by the shepherd.

No one knows why wizards also follow the superstitions of ordinary mortals, but wizards rarely sleep. Generally, they sleep from 6:30 to 10:00. After getting up at ten o'clock, they light lampwick grass to deal with some official duties and trivial matters. Then, they start meditating at two or three in the middle of the night, or have a second 'morning sleep' until dawn.

Roland, however, has never had this habit.

After inspecting the bedside, Roland said, "Her Majesty the Queen's body has no problems."

He looked at the king beside him and said, "She is just a little weak and overly frightened. So it is not a recurrence of an old illness. But there are some minor issues. First, not every illness requires a glass of 'Yao Huahua' milk. In the future, except for external injuries and serious injuries, do not randomly drink this kind of thing. It is harmful to the brain."

Several court wizards and scholars lowered their heads when they heard this.

Many nobles in the room also lowered their heads and whispered to each other. They all had this habit, so they carefully wrote down the teachings of this 'foreign monk'.

Roland looked at the bright balcony and said to everyone, "In the next few days, do not let the Queen bask in the sun. Seal the doors and windows, and do not have any light in the room, nor light any lamps. Not only the Queen, but everyone must do this. At the same time, eat more vinegar and garlic."

Hearing this, everyone in the room showed nervous expressions, and the king's face was even paler. He asked, "Scholar, does this mean that thirst blood disease is also becoming popular in the Amir Kingdom?"

Roland took the hot towel handed over by the maid, wiped his hands, and glanced faintly at the king and the nobles, saying, "Just do what I, say, you group of ignorant people."

Roland is about to start PUA.

Faced with Roland's arrogance, the king's face was very ugly, but he dared not show it.

In fact, although the Amir Kingdom is a small country the size of a fingernail, not even half the size of an empire's province. But no matter how small this kingdom is, King Alfonso is still the ruler of a country.

Moreover, even if he is a bastard, he is also the biological son of a certain tower master of the White Chess School. He is a second-generation noble, with a lot of background in the wizarding world.

But he did not dare to say much in front of this 'super second-generation noble'.

Because in terms of seniority, he has to call Roland his brother-in-law.

Catherine is the cousin of that White Chess Tower Master, the aunt of this bastard.

And the Alexandra family is a large aristocratic family, the former imperial family of the wizarding world three hundred years ago.

Alexandra is indeed a declining beggar, but even in the wizarding world, ordinary wizards do not know the true situation of this family now. Let alone the secular kingdom.

Therefore, although King Alfonso has a noble status, in the eyes of people in the upper world, he is just a bastard who is not liked by the upper world and was thrown by his father to a small village to be the mayor.

And Roland is the驸马爷! (husband of a princess)

Alfonso naturally doesn't know that this brother-in-law in front of him is a guy who is pretending to be fat. Even more, he doesn't know that his father is a faction that firmly opposes the existence of this son-in-law.

He thought that this fake Alexandra in front of him had a noble status, and Alfonso had heard about Alexandra's arrogance and arrogance, and knew that this was a group of black wizards who would clean you up if they disagreed.

So he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Roland, relying on his father's status.

Here at the Black Abyss Academy, if Roland's pretense isn't ruthless enough, his life would be in danger.

Therefore, Roland has been cultivating in the Black Abyss Academy for a long time in the matter of pretending, pretending to be fat, and pretending to be rich.

Therefore, he really looks like a wealthy wizard nobleman who spends money like water.

Just now, everyone also heard from several court wizards that the noble Great Magister Elvis was pinned down in the house by this young master Roland and sprayed wildly.

Knowing that it was almost his turn to be reprimanded.

Sure enough, Roland didn't accumulate any virtue and PUA'd him severely.

When he spoke, everyone in the entire room carefully pricked up their ears, for fear that the sound of breathing would be too loud and they would not be able to hear the oracle of this envoy of heaven.

The compliance test was almost done, and Roland, who was secretly drumming in his heart, had a little confidence.

So, Roland threw away the towel and said, "As for the rest, you listen to the arrangements of my student Amber. I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't have time to chat with you here."

As soon as this was said, everyone's faces were different.

When they heard the first half of the sentence, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes. They didn't expect that the little wild wizard was actually favored by this powerful wizard.

What a stroke of good luck!

In the surprised and envious gazes of the crowd, Amber couldn't help but stick out her small chest, her face flushed with excitement. Her appearance was as if she was saying, 'Did you see what I'm stepping on? A pile of dog shit!'

But when Roland finished saying the last sentence, 'I'm leaving in a while', everyone present was dumbfounded.

What's going on with this princess disease and the comb army? The most elite people in the country are gathered together, blocked in the castle by those more than a hundred people and waiting to die!

If this wizard leaves, what will happen if the comb army comes over again?

Everyone has heard that Scholar Roland has helped the Amir Kingdom invite a group of wizards.

But everyone has seen the way Roland slaughtered the Quartet below before.

What kind of wizard can compare to this Snake Tower wizard?

He alone is a wizard group!

The king said that he would set up a banquet for Roland to thank Roland for saving the queen from the comb army. Roland refused.

Then the king said that he had a magic book that many court wizards had not understood, and hoped that Roland could help him take a look.

Roland showed interest and went to his study with the king.

That magic book was actually very interesting. It was a notebook of a formal wizard of a certain special school. It not only recorded some magic, but also recorded some experiences of the wizard and some magic potion formulas.

But Roland showed that he was not interested.

He flipped through it for a while, then put it back on the bookshelf, and looked at the king drinking tea on the sofa.

When the king saw that Roland was not interested, he was very anxious. But he was very cultivated and did not show it. Instead, he invited Roland to drink tea together and hoped that Roland could give some advice on the kingdom's plague.

Roland sat down, and he said very seriously: "Your Majesty, this is not a plague, but a mystery."

The king's face stiffened slightly. When he saw those crystal people, he already had some doubts. Now, this mysterious expert from the Black Abyss gave such an answer, and he had no reason to doubt it.

He smiled and said: "Scholar Roland, although the White Chess School forbids people like us who are not pure-blooded from entering. But I am also a scholar. And as the council's agent in the secular world to manage the kingdom, I am also a member of the council. So there is no need to be so polite between us. You can just call me Alfonso, or Scholar."

Roland had already seen that Alfonso had magic power on his body, but he concealed it with some methods.

And that magic book is often read.

Alfonso's biological father did not allow this bastard to touch White Chess magic, but he had been secretly learning it. Although his strength was not very good and he lacked practical experience, his realm was not low, and he was also a middle-level apprentice.

This Alfonso is only in his twenties this year, only three or four years older than Roland.

His father blocked his path to touching the truth, but he secretly studied on his own and privately asked the court wizards for advice, step by step towards the truth.

Although he didn't take the White Chess path, he was still a scholar. Compared to a Muggle king, he hoped to be a wizard king!

Roland smiled and said: "Alfonso, I am indeed going to leave, but in fact, it is not that I am determined to leave. But my conscription order has already been issued. As an Alexandra, as Princess Catherine's fiancé, and a wizard nobleman who is about to be conferred, I need to take on my responsibilities and set an example."

Speaking of this, Roland showed a bit of helplessness.

The king's heart moved slightly.

What a role model. If it is a struggle between schools within the council, the Black Abyss people will definitely sharpen their heads and drill into the battlefield. Because with the strength of this group of Black Abyss wizards, they will definitely kill the Quartet on the battlefield. The battlefield is a place for them to gain military merit.

But this is the Council War!

The opponent is the Twilight Council!

The king is also half of the wizarding world, and he still knows a lot about some things. As everyone knows, the Black Abyss people were afraid of being eaten and wiped clean by the Twilight wizards, so they defected.

If it is the old Black Abyss, that is a living Yama that the Twilight wizards are in awe of.

But there are not many old Black Abyss people left now, most of them are new recruits. So the new Black Abyss people are very afraid of the Twilight wizards. They dare not challenge them.

The biggest wish of the Black Abyss people now is to recuperate and cause less trouble.

And the Twilight wizards, they hate this group of traitors to death. As long as the Black Abyss goes to the battlefield, they will be severely targeted by the Twilight Council.

Going there means death.

Like this special battlefield with Twilight wizards, no Black Abyss is willing to go.

This Alexandra must also be unwilling to go. He probably can't wait to break away from the Alexandra family, become a White Chess, and then find a place to hide to avoid being taken to the battlefield.

The king smiled and said: "Lord Roland, I know you are eager to gain honor on the battlefield. But you are now infected with mystery, and the council probably won't let you go for the time being."

Roland took a sip of tea and said without batting an eye, "Alfonso, although I am currently infected by the arcane, you know that the White Chess School has potions that can cure Crystal Princess Disease."

"Heh, Scholar Roland, of course I know."

The King said meaningfully, "But the arcane you're infected with is very special. After the potion cures it each time, the disease recurs repeatedly, and it's highly contagious. It's simply not suitable to return to the school in the short term."

After a pause, the King said, "Lord Roland, I wonder if you would be willing to temporarily withdraw from the school and become a court wizard of the Amir Kingdom? The court wizards of the Amir Kingdom are not subject to conscription by the school.

Even if the situation deteriorates in the future to the point where we ordinary people and wild wizards need to participate in the war, small kingdoms like ours will just send a few people as a token gesture. The council won't make things difficult for us just because we only sent a few low-level apprentices, low-level knights, and soldiers."

Roland's eyes flickered slightly.

The King had indeed come up with a good idea!

But he was conflicted. He couldn't stay in the Amir Kingdom.

He would face a tribulation when he advanced to become a formal wizard.

Roland's desire to advance to become a formal wizard was very strong. And he had to slay butterflies to advance to become a wizard. He had to overcome a small tribulation!

He needed a border territory to contact Twilight Wizards, steal their arcane mysteries, and help himself overcome this tribulation.

Roland shook his head regretfully and said, "I have a border territory that I must go to. I'm afraid I can't stay here."

Since they were already talking about this, Roland got straight to the point. He continued, "To be honest, I don't have any retainers yet, and I have my eye on your court wizard."

Alfonso's face became very unsightly. He had already guessed it. That's why he had just come up with a win-win solution.

Avis was both Alfonso's private teacher and his bodyguard. If he left, the entire kingdom would be unstable.

Even if Roland stayed and helped him deal with Crystal Princess Disease, he wouldn't be willing to let Avis go.

Lost in thought, Alfonso saw Roland placing something on the coffee table.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually seven or eight curiosities, seven or eight robes, wizard armor, several magic books from different schools, and some advancement potions for low-level apprentices.

Roland said, "Your Majesty, these things are still considered clean; they belong to the spoils of war. I originally wanted to return them to the White Chess School in exchange for some reward money, or sell them on the black market. But after thinking it over, it's most beneficial for both of us to sell them to you at a fair price.

If you don't have enough magic stones, using some gold and silver as substitutes is fine too.

I know you're short on manpower. With these treasures, many school wizards would be willing to withdraw from the school and become your followers.

As for these magic books, they certainly can't be spread around carelessly. But it's very common for things to flow from the school into the secular world. Many wild wizard schools were born this way.

If you don't dare to let others see these magic books, you can study them yourself. After thoroughly understanding them, you can compile and write your own version to train the kingdom's wizards.

Finally, I will never admit that I sold you anything.

I believe that if anyone discovers these things, you will say that you bought them from the black market. But even if you say I gave them to you, it doesn't matter.

I don't care about the White Chess School's opinion of me. The upper-level White Chess wizards have disliked me for more than just a day or two.

I'm a member of the Black Abyss. Even if the White Chess School punishes me, it has to go through the Black Abyss Serpent Tower. And according to the rules here in the Black Abyss, at most, I'll just have to offer my teacher a sum of money for being foolish."

Alfonso wanted to take the path of a magic king, that is, a great wizard lord.

So he had always been paying attention to magical items. But the school prohibited the sale of curiosities to the secular world.

Alfonso and his people could only find channels on the black market, but on the one hand, the White Chess School's hinterland wasn't as filthy as the Black Abyss, so Alfonso had very few channels.

The few channels he had not only had very few types of goods, but also gave prices that were blacker than the next. He often encountered 'top-grade curiosities, Wind Prince Rings' and other disappointing goods.

The kingdom's treasures, combined, weren't even half as many as what Roland had taken out. Not to mention those school magic books that were absolutely forbidden from being spread, and those advancement potions that were in short supply even within the wizarding world.

These things could recruit a lot of people and train his own wizard apprentices!

Alfonso looked and discovered that there was actually a top-grade curiosity inside!

Although the rest were all mid-grade and low-grade curiosities, they were all of much better quality than the goods of those black-hearted merchants.

Most importantly, there were those magic books and those potions. These could cultivate many excellent people of his own.

"What's your price?" Alfonso's voice had a slight tremor. It was unknown whether he was worried that Roland would ask for a high price or whether he desperately wanted these things.

Roland said very calmly, "I said, a fair price. Five thousand."

Alfonso's heart suddenly twitched, and his whole body seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Roland had given him a door—the things he had taken out could open a small auction!

Not to mention, Roland had given him a normal price instead of raising it two or three times like a black-hearted merchant!

When Alfonso raised his head again, his eyes were almost glowing green.

His greatest wish was to rise up under the suppression of the school, transform from a wage earner in shackles into a magic king with dignity and sovereignty, a great wizard lord.

If he had had these things before, would he have needed to be humiliated by such a group of comb troops surrounded in the castle?

This deal could be said to have struck his heart.

Alfonso asked the last question he was concerned about: "Will you stay and continue to deal with Crystal Princess Disease?"

After the comb troop incident, Alfonso felt immense pressure in his heart. But he now had a sharp sword hanging over his head. If this sword wasn't broken, all his curiosities would be wasted.

Roland said, "I will stay for a period of time to complete my mission. Afterward, the White Chess School will send a team, and I will explore the 'Gemstone Basin' with them to deal with Crystal Princess Disease, or rather, Rainbow Disease."

In fact, even if Roland didn't have the rainbow on him, he planned to stay here for a while.

Otherwise, where would he go? Would he respond to the summons?

Moreover, the incident in the small town had always been shrouded in Roland's heart. The story of Grandpa Augus's family of three generations fighting against the rainbow had also deeply infected him.

He hoped to do some good deeds for those strangers to the best of his ability.

Even if it was to accumulate virtue.

After confirming that Roland would stay, Alfonso was so excited that he almost cried. He grabbed Roland's hand and said, "Brother Roland! I thank you on behalf of the people of the Amir Kingdom! After this matter, no matter what reward the school gives you, I will add a generous reward!"

Roland looked very young, but a wizard's age was probably unrelated to their appearance. Alfonso felt that Roland was definitely older than him.

Alexandra the Witch was already eighteen years old when she advanced to become a high-level apprentice!

What's more, this 'big brother' in front of him had such strong magic in his hands. He must be in his twenties!

So Alfonso called him big brother. Not to mention big brother, he would kneel down and call Roland his dear father now!

He didn't know how strong the team from the school would be, but he had seen Roland's methods today.

Roland alone was worth a small wizard corps. With him staying, there would definitely be more certainty about Crystal Princess Disease.

Alfonso said that he would do his best to pay for this deal entirely with magic stones. Afterward, he would also give Roland a secular fiefdom, as well as a large sum of magic stones, as well as gold and silver.

At the same time, he would not only poach Avis for Roland but also give Avis a title and fiefdom, so that his youngest son could also live a carefree life in the future, allowing Avis to follow Roland without any worries.

Roland was overjoyed. He didn't expect Alfonso to be so forthright.

This time, Avis could let go of all his concerns and leave with him.

As for the secular fiefdom that Alfonso gave Roland, although Roland didn't look up to it, it was also a way out. If he couldn't survive on the wizard side one day, he could come back and be a secular lord.

Alfonso told Roland that the Amir Kingdom was actually very rich.

The Rainbow Disease had never been so serious before, so the annual output of potions was unaffected.

In addition, Alfonso and his mother were good at managing things. Every time there was a disaster, they could squeeze a lot of money out of the White Chess School, so the Amir Kingdom was very rich.

Therefore!

Although the 'Royal City' was occupied by the comb troops, Alfonso snatched a lot of money when he ran away, so he still had 5,000 magic stones. He would give Roland the money for this deal tonight.

"Wait!"

Roland waved his hand to interrupt: "What did you just say? The Royal City was occupied by the comb troops? In that case, wouldn't the Royal City have become the 'Gemstone Basin'?"

Roland was dumbfounded.

According to this pattern, I'm afraid there will be a Crystal Rainbow Goddess ascending to immortality in that Gemstone Basin!
