I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

The esteemed Mr. Barnett, a high-ranking apprentice of the White Chess Crab Eye Elephant Tower, is the leader of this team. After learning about the Crystal Princess Disease in the Amir Kingdom, they investigated many places along the way.

After his condescending interrogation, he questioned King Alfonso about why he released the wild wizards and adopted those ridiculous solutions to deal with the epidemic.

The Crab Eye Elephant Tower is the tower of Alfonso's biological father. And this Mr. Barnett is Alfonso's half-brother.

Barnett felt very jealous of his half-brother on the throne.

His father was too kind to this illegitimate son, allowing him to enjoy himself here, while his own biological, pure-blooded brothers and sisters were ruthlessly sent to the battlefield by their father.

The master of the Crab Eye Elephant Tower valued honor extremely and had very strict requirements for his descendants. Barnett, as one of the direct descendants, suffered deeply from this.

He was not conscripted because his father ordered him to establish a wizard tower in a place called 'Straw Town'!

Becoming a wizard lord... Many wizards hoped to avoid conscription in this way, but 'Straw Town' was not a good choice.

It was said that the master of the Snake Tower was very interested in that place and hoped that his students could garrison it.

However, the master of the Crab Eye Elephant Tower demanded this place. He regarded the responsibility of 'Straw Town' as a kind of honor, intending to trick his own son!

He was going to be sent to such a place, but his father's illegitimate son could be a king in this fertile land.

And this mixed-blood mongrel couldn't even handle a small plague properly.

Heh, laughable mongrel, even his own royal city was broken into by a group of refugees.

However, thanks to this good-for-nothing.

If his good brother had managed this place too well, he wouldn't have had any chance.

That's right, this was an opportunity for Barnett.

The Crystal Princess Disease was now imminent. Barnett discussed with his father, postponed the matter of his fiefdom, and applied to go to the Amir Kingdom to solve the problem there.

He was very good at dealing with plagues and was very suitable to come here.

He would not completely cure the plague here; he would make the plague listen to him obediently. It would break out when he needed it and be quiet when he didn't.

The king here, and all those with inheritance rights, would die from the plague.

The Amir Kingdom would become an unclaimed land, reasonably taken back by the school and become a wizard territory.

He had already taken care of the relationship with the school.

The Amir Kingdom was originally the territory of the Crab Eye Elephant Tower. As long as it was taken back, he would become the new wizard lord, the new king.

This place would always need him because he would 'use the plague to increase his importance'.

His father would agree to him becoming the lord here because this place needed him to guard it.

Of course, the plague would kill many people, but are mudbloods people?

Those mortal civilians are just pigs and dogs. They are not worthy of living in this fertile land that produces magic potions.

Barnett was very good at potionology and also knew a lot about plagues. He knew that there were many precious magic potions suitable for growing in plague-stricken areas and crystal mine areas.

The Crystal Princess Disease will continue to spread here forever. The magic potions will grow very well.

Barnett finally said: "Your Majesty Alfonso, the school invests so many resources every year to popularize magic. But your actions are extremely disappointing.

If you think that the inspiration that bursts out in a few minutes when the wild wizards in the countryside close their eyes and have whimsical ideas is more effective than the solutions given by the school, then, to be blunt, you are probably not suitable to manage the White Queen's subjects for the council."

King Alfonso's face was ashen, and his hands were tightly gripping the armrests of the throne, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.

Alfonso did not dare to contradict Mr. Barnett. He believed that the words conveyed by his brother were his father's intention. His father had always been very disappointed in him.

He tried his best to maintain a humble smile, maintaining his last dignity as a king.

He said softly: "Honorable Grand Scholar Barnett, you have misunderstood. This Crystal Princess Disease is not a plague, but a mystery. In recent times, our research on the Crystal Princess Disease has made breakthrough progress. Please allow my chief court wizard, Avis, to explain the specific situation to your school."

Avis was in the position of 'King's Hand' on the side of the throne. He cleared his throat and organized his words. Then, Mr. Barnett impatiently waved his hand and interrupted his speech.

Barnett said very irritably: "Don't tell me any more of your ridiculous theories, I've heard enough along the way."

Avis's face stiffened.

At this time, everyone saw a Black Abyss apprentice leading people to the vicinity of the king.

Barnett knew that Black Abyss wizard; he was very famous recently.

This reputation came partly from the forbidden area incident and partly from the 'Rainbow Disease Report' he submitted to the school.

The former brought a lot of reputation to this Black Abyss wizard, while the latter made him a laughing stock.

That Rainbow Disease report was very ridiculous. Not to mention the arguments and samples, even the formulas and even the logic were missing!

This Black Abyss new generation, who was praised and criticized by various schools, was Roland.

After he came to the king's side, he showed a kind smile and looked at Barnett and others below.

Barnett nodded slightly as a response. He said very officially: "Scholar Roland, your report has been repeatedly discussed by my team. I saw that you proposed in the report that we need to sneak into the royal city to eradicate the 'Rainbow Disease'?"

Roland nodded and said: "Yes, Scholar Barnett, in fact, it would be more appropriate to use the word 'containment'. We should sneak in as soon as possible."

Before he could finish speaking, Barnett waved his hand and interrupted: "Scholar Roland, to be blunt, you keep saying that this is some kind of mystery. But you can't even provide samples. In that case, you shouldn't go to the royal city. Instead, you should set up a maze on the roads in and out of the royal city for isolation, and then deal with this matter as a plague."

Roland said: "Scholar Barnett, I know that you are not interested in those theories and want to see samples. But we can't provide samples. In order to avoid the Rainbow Disease from continuing to worsen, after the experiments, the crystal people and other samples have all been destroyed."

Barnett nodded and said: "Then, what about the magic images of the experimental process?"

Roland said: "The Rainbow Disease is spread based on observers. Magic images are a kind of pollution source that can be copied and widely spread. We did not leave any magic images in the experiment."

Barnett chuckled. He liked this idiot in front of him more and more. He said: "What about the log? There should always be an experimental log, right?"

Roland said: "As I said, the Rainbow Disease is spread based on observers. If you want to completely end this plague, you can't leave any content that can describe the 'Rainbow Disease' in detail. Magic images are a description, and words are also a description. They are both a kind of pollution source that can be widely spread."

At this moment, even those high-ranking apprentices who had been silent couldn't hold back anymore.

Barnett smiled and said: "Lord Roland, your words are like your report. I guess when you woke up from the trash can last night, you must have forgotten to take a bath. Go take a bath and sober up! If there are no samples, then it's a plague! It should be treated as a plague!"

Roland did not argue with this tower wizard. He thought to himself: 'The generation gap between school wizards and wild wizards is too deep, full of arrogance and prejudice.'

He had previously sent Augustus's notes, medical logs, and experimental logs back to the academy. Although these things cannot directly describe the Rainbow Disease, they can completely explain that the Rainbow Disease is a mystery, not a plague.

But because these things were written by wild wizards, they didn't even look at a single word.

Not only that, but when they came, they also arrested those heroes who had treated the plague. In addition to arresting people, this Mr. Barnett probably also corrected everyone's 'mistakes'.

After such a toss, the plague in the south is going to break out again.

Barnett questioned: "Lord Roland, every year the plague is suppressed in this way. Why suddenly change the plan this year?"

He came here today to question him.

This place does not need two special envoys to preside over the work. The fool in front of him named Roland just happened to reveal his handle. After questioning him in front of everyone today, Barnett will report the matter to the council.

After that, Roland will be recalled by the conscription order, and this place will be handled by himself.

Barnett asked again: "Do you know how many people in the Amir Kingdom will be killed because of your stupidity and your appointment of those wild wizards?"

He intends to let more people die here, and Roland will take the blame.

Because Roland was the first person to come, it was because he made a mess here that he found it difficult to solve the plague.

Amber angrily interjected: "In previous years, it was because of our Raven Society that the Light Plague was suppressed! The reason why this year's problem is so serious is not because you arrested people randomly?

Previously, according to your plan, the Rainbow Disease in the Amir Kingdom could not be contained. Now that the plan has been changed and the Raven Society is leading the treatment, the Rainbow Disease has been controlled. Doesn't this prove our 'mystery theory'?"

Barnett nodded. He said to the several standing apprentices behind him: "Take this wild wizard away."

"Please wait 2 minutes." Roland waved his hand to stop these people's movements. He stepped down from the stage and said softly: "Lord Barnett, I can understand your feelings.

The matter of Rainbow Disease is indeed difficult to understand. Even in the Black Abyss, determining the nature of the Mystery has always been a challenge.

However, in our Black Abyss, we have a very simple and efficient method of determination.

Roland took off his gloves and threw them at Barnett's chest, saying indifferently, "Take out your wands, Barnett. The one who survives is right."

Barnett's face turned extremely ugly.

This madman! Damned Black Abyss madman!

Seeing Roland taking out his wand and preparing to fight, the other two higher-level apprentices from other schools hurriedly rushed over to stop Roland.

The two acted as peacemakers, muttering a few words, but Roland directly interrupted, "No need to waste words, we must go to the Royal City immediately, this opinion must be unified. Come on, Barnett, you can all come at me!"

As he spoke, Roland unleashed his magic power. Instantly, a strong wind swept through the hall, and the surging magic power shocked everyone.

— A formal wizard??

How could this be?!

He had just returned from the forbidden area last month and should have just advanced to a higher-level apprentice.

Everyone realized that the magic power within Roland's body was very abnormal, and they suddenly understood his situation.

His realm was still that of a higher-level apprentice, but he was being assimilated by a strange Mystery. This abnormal state of magic power was very similar to the situation of the 'Crystal Man' in the report.

His body was probably entirely made of crystal! This made him like a huge magic stone, containing terrifying magic power.

Barnett's face was ashen.

In this group, only 60% of the people were his subordinates. One of the higher-level apprentices had temporarily come to make up the numbers. With his cowardly personality, he would definitely not participate in a fight.

If the people were not complete, the Crab Eye Elephant Formation could not be formed. Once this Black Abyss wizard went crazy and a fight really broke out, then, before this madman died, he would definitely be able to kill himself.

A round-faced higher-level apprentice named 'Matt' was scared to death, fearing that if the two sides fought, Roland would go mad in the magic power surge and then affect him.

He hurriedly hugged Roland and persuaded, "Don't, don't, don't, Lord Roland, don't get angry. Whether it's the plague or the Mystery, we definitely have to go to the Royal City, we can't just let that group of rebels wreak havoc there, right? A wild wizard, leading a group of Muggles, has overturned the rule of the school, where should the White Chess School put its face? Lord Barnett, don't you think so?"

Barnett's face was extremely ugly, he gasped for breath and did not say a word.

The others looked at each other and did not say a word either.

Matt was right. We can't let that Crystal King declare himself king there, right?

That would be a big joke.

Moreover, even if it is a plague, we should go to the Royal City to take a look. That is a big city with 50,000 residents, we can't just stand by and watch them die there, right?

This time, the school specially distributed magical items for storing supplies to everyone, wasn't it for saving people?

But everyone had been afraid to say such things before, because Barnett was the boss. If he said not to go, no one dared to say anything.

Now that this Black Abyss wizard was stirring things up here, everyone's thoughts became active.

Matt seized the opportunity and said, "Lord Roland, I know that you originally applied for a wizard团, but what came was this group of us. But our team is still very strong. Among us, some are good at medicine, some are good at curses, some are good at magic arrays. Some are good at Mysticism, potionology... As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to solve this problem."

Another higher-level apprentice also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, whether it's a plague or a Mystery event, we can still handle the matter here."

Matt interjected, "Indeed, although we can't compare to a formal wizard's team, all of you here are high tower apprentices. In terms of knowledge, you are no worse than the professors."

Matt's words were what Roland wanted to hear most. He didn't care what Rainbow Disease was, he wanted to solve this matter.

After hearing these words, Roland's expression improved a lot.

He had also noticed that the magic power of these three higher-level apprentices was very profound. And those ten or so intermediate apprentices were all very old.

To put it bluntly, in terms of knowledge, these people were no worse than those professors who had just entered the realm of formal wizards. Any apprentice taken out alone was qualified to be a mentor.

Moreover, although these people came from different schools, they also had the White Chess 'Crab Eye Elephant' emblem on their bodies, which meant that they all understood the 'Crab Eye Elephant Formation'.

This was a very famous battlefield magic array in the White Chess Council, especially powerful when fighting in groups. Not only did it have many wonderful effects, but it could also increase the magic power of everyone.

At critical moments, the people in the entire magic array could also have all their power uniformly dispatched and commanded by one person.

Four higher-level apprentices, plus a dozen intermediate apprentices. The total amount of magic power added together, released in one move, was more powerful than the full blow of a formal wizard.

Therefore, although the White Chess School, or rather the Council, suspected that Rainbow Disease was not a Mystery event, so they only sent a group of apprentices, these apprentices were all elites. If they really wanted to contain something, they could also deal with it.

In the matter of containing the Mystery, a powerful Mystery-side wizard could indeed overcome all difficulties with one force.

But a group of well-trained apprentices with professional skills could also accomplish great things with little effort.

Roland was such an example.

Roland nodded and asked, "Okay, now, those who don't plan to go, stand up."

The faces of many apprentices stiffened slightly, and Barnett asked with a gloomy face, "Lord Roland, what do you mean by this?"

Roland said, "Those who go live, those who stay die."

Everyone's eyes went dark, and Barnett was so angry that he almost passed out.

Barnett could see that this madman was going to die, and he didn't care about anything anymore. If he continued to argue with him, he would definitely take action.

Roland said again, "Forget it, let me pick people — you, tell me, is Rainbow Disease a plague or a Mystery."

As he spoke, Roland looked at Barnett's side again. The people who were originally standing behind Barnett all took a step back, 'pushing' Barnett to the front.

Barnett's face was ashen.

Matt suddenly hugged Roland and said, "My scholar Roland! Look at the extent of your illness now, whoever says this is still a plague is blind!

Although your illness seems to be hopeless... Don't give up! As long as you go to the Royal City and contain that Rainbow, maybe there is still hope for salvation!

At least, don't use your life to fight with your own people!"

Another apprentice also coughed and said, "Ahem, whether it's a plague or a Mystery, we definitely have to go to the Royal City — that Crystal King has to be killed anyway, right?"

As he spoke, he gave Barnett a look.

Barnett understood, he smiled and said, "Lord Roland, you may have had some misunderstandings just now, although I suggested handling this matter as a plague. But I just suggested first blocking off the main roads near the Royal City, and then slowly dealing with the affairs of the Royal City.

However, since your current situation is already so bad, it's better for us to go and investigate first."

Roland was finally satisfied, he turned around and left, "I'll give you two hours to prepare, meet at the door later and set off."

Looking at Roland's back, a murderous intent flashed in Barnett's eyes.

Since you insist on going to the Royal City, then I will send you on your way.

This guy is now absorbing Mystery images, his strength is ridiculously strong. We can't fight him head-on, but it's normal for some people to die during the containment process.

Amber had been following behind Roland, she was determined to go with him. Roland thought for a long time and still brought her along.

Amber's whole life had been prepared for this moment, she was going to witness everything for her grandfather. Otherwise, her future path would not be able to advance further.

Moreover, Amber could be considered an experienced container. The matter of Crystal Village amazed Roland. Taking her there was not a burden.

No one had any objections to who Roland was going to bring.

For people like Barnett, whoever Roland brought was going to die.

And for people like Matt, they couldn't wait for Roland to bring more people. Amber was just a low-level apprentice, her strength was still a bit low. Matt suggested bringing the court wizards along.

Roland rejected this suggestion, he gave such a reason: "They are all going crazy, going there will turn them into rainbows."

Look, what madness is this?

However, Matt understood some of Roland's logic — rainbows seemed to be a Mystery that could not be forcibly recognized. If you recognized it, nothing might happen. But if your Sanity was low and you recognized it, then something would definitely happen.

High recognition plus low Sanity equals death.

The group set off that day. On the way, Roland familiarized Amber with the Crab Eye Elephant magic array. And he thoroughly tested Amber's 'Blindness Curse', 'Dementia Curse', 'Echo Curse' and 'Wisdom Curse'.

The two used these magic curses to do many strange things.

Looking at these two Mudbloods, eye-catching bags, the killing intent in Barnett's heart grew stronger.

Roland was already a bit paranoid, and after experiencing many life-and-death situations, he was also very sensitive to killing intent.

And since learning from Alfonso that Barnett was Alfonso's brother, he had speculated about this person with the greatest malice.

On the way, he learned about the structure of the team and discovered that more than half of the members were recruited by Barnett. As a result, he was almost certain about what Barnett was planning.

A conscription order and a Muggle king unable to shoulder the responsibility... it was indeed an excellent opportunity.

It's just that certain people are a bit too conspicuous. He was probably blocking someone's path to wealth.

Roland remained calm and unperturbed, not taking her seriously. He simply didn't share the crucial strategies with everyone.

Roland originally thought that he had prepared all the necessary strategies, and others also believed that they had enough understanding of the Royal City.

But when they arrived beneath that 'Royal City', everyone was shocked.

The group immediately moved away from the Royal City, discussed the matter for a long time, and reported the relevant information to the Academy.

As a result, the matter alarmed the Council, which ordered the apprentices not to leave the Kingdom of Amir and to await the Council's plan.

Several Tower Masters gathered together and devised a 'Rainfall' plan.

According to the Tower Masters' assessment, these apprentices had a 17.63% probability of resolving the matter.

If they failed to resolve it, they would also obtain more comprehensive information. At that time, another group of people would come here to complete the task.

Everyone cursed incessantly, but Roland and Barnett were very determined. They both had reasons why they had to go.

After several days of discussion, and under the Council's orders, they finally chose a night and reluctantly entered the city.
