I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

After trying out the new moves, Roland discovered that when he merged with the divine bird, the bird's strength could be fully unleashed, like a dragon. It was definitely no weaker than a cyclops.

Moreover, he could also make his body bigger or smaller, but he wasn't very familiar with it yet, and could only make himself taller, about two meters and sixty centimeters.

When Roland merged with the divine bird, his body was like a giant plated with a layer of golden sunlight, like a demigod in ancient mythology.

His strength was already greater than Anna's, and he only regretted that Anna wasn't on the ship, otherwise he would have wrestled with her.

Although Miss Anna hadn't been on the ship these days, the elven lady beside Katarina often came to find Roland.

She seemed very eager to spar with Roland.

Roland was unwilling to expose his supernatural powers in front of outsiders, so he naturally claimed that he didn't understand swordsmanship.

The elven lady gave Roland an evaluation: a coward who indulges in pleasure and neglects his duties.

Roland was too lazy to pay attention to her. He found that this elegant-looking elven lady was quite brainless.

Like a savage. Seemingly elegant, but actually very barbaric!

Not noble and elegant at all!

However, her evaluation of Roland was indeed correct—indulging in pleasure and neglecting his duties.

Mainly because Roland had become quite familiar with Princess Katarina recently.

Since Princess Katarina saw Roland's good things, she often called him to the semi-study—she actually often held salons on the airship.

They talked about artworks, antiques, and the like.

Roland was shocked to find that the descendants of the great nobles of the White Chess Council exceeded his imagination in matters of neglecting their duties—they were simply indulging in pleasure and neglecting their duties!

At least this arrogant Princess Katarina was very foolish and very indulging in pleasure and neglecting her duties!

Although it is said that if a wizard is very accomplished in sculpture, painting, and poetry, it will greatly help their magic research.

But how old is Katarina this year?

She knew too much about artworks, and her understanding exceeded the extent of a normal wizard's research into these minor subjects.

She was obviously not doing her job properly and was a foolish little monarch.

Sending such a person to negotiate... Well, she was actually going to carry out a special mission with him.

But partnering with her on a mission was too unreliable, right?

By the way, the elven lady knew nothing about artworks.

Roland was very shocked by his two female teammates, and Princess Katarina was also very shocked by Roland.

She found that this kid's accomplishments in architecture, sculpture, painting, poetry, and so on far exceeded her imagination.

From those crystal balls that were spread out, she knew that this kid understood... but she didn't expect him to understand so much.

Outsiders said that he didn't do his job properly and was affectionate everywhere. There was indeed some truth to it.

It could be seen from the few poems he wrote casually.

After Roland's poems spread, all the witches on the airship began to pay attention to him.

The Black Abyss Witches were also very concerned because most of Roland's poems were in the Heraka style.

Heraka-style poems are mysterious and enchanting. And those who understand this kind of poetry have extremely high attainments in black magic. Master Usak, this great talent, is very good at Heraka's poetry. He is one of them.

A few days later, Katarina became more and more familiar with Roland. She and this very rich and very irresponsible handsome boy had common interests and chatted very harmoniously.

And Katarina became more and more convinced that Roland and Katarina were the same kind of person.

So, when the two were tasting wine and discussing artworks in the salon, she made some very suggestive moves.

But unfortunately, Roland seemed to be a blockhead, and did not respond to some of the princess's ambiguous gestures.

Princess Katarina seemed to like stepping on other people's feet secretly.

Roland had heard that this Princess Katarina had many lovers. He naturally understood the princess's meaning, but he deliberately pretended not to understand.

Later, when Princess Katarina discussed painting with Roland, she took the initiative to ask Roland to paint a portrait of her alone.

They were discussing paintings in the 'Fan Xiaer' style, which is a special theological style, mainly depicting the beauty of goddesses—mostly nude paintings.

No wonder the prophecy said there would be a 3P scandal. This woman could really do it!

Roland readily agreed, but kept procrastinating.

A few days later, the airship passed by Katarina's territory, but it didn't even stop.

Roland almost fainted from anger.

He originally thought that Katarina was a demon in sheep's clothing, thinking that her appearance was just a disguise.

What was the result?

She was just a pure idiot!

Roland understood that his two teammates were both pig teammates.

One was a mindless savage.

The other was a bad and stupid noble second generation!

He didn't plan to be polite with this guy. He learned from a apprentice that Katarina was in the studio, so he went straight there.

There were actually two witches guarding the door of the studio. After seeing Roland, one of the witches went in to report, and then led Roland in.

After entering the door and seeing the scene in the studio, Roland felt a slight dizziness in his mind.

A beautiful and tall elf was standing on the small model stand in the studio with a face full of shame.

She was holding a sword in her arms, and she was wearing very cool clothes.

The white goddess robe was like a bath towel, or a layer of hazy white gauze.

It can be said that she was half-covered with a treasured sword in her arms.

Originally, Roland always felt that this elven lady was a bit too tall, making it difficult for men to feel moved.

But when she was so carefully dressed by Katarina, her tall figure made her look like a goddess descending into the world, or a perfect goddess statue in a grand cathedral.

No, there is no need for artistic processing at all. Her figure is so perfect, like a living idol.

She didn't wear a helmet or face armor.

Just as Roland had always guessed, this elf with emerald eyes was so beautiful.

A little familiar...

Miss Katarina was painting the elven lady with a face full of mischievousness.

“Oh, Roland, you came just in time.”

Katarina said with a smile: “I spent a lot of effort to get Ariana to be a model. In short, she lost the bet. The opportunity is rare. Let’s each paint a picture, and then make a sculpture.”

Miss Katarina seemed to like betting with people very much. Her win rate was actually quite high.

Seeing a man entering the studio, the elven lady was a little flustered. She always wanted to PK Roland, and when she heard that her sister also asked that guy to paint her, she was immediately anxious.

She actually said a passage of ancient elven language anxiously. The general meaning was that Katarina did not keep her promise and was a big liar.

Katarina also replied with a very fluent passage of ancient elven language, the general meaning was that the bet said to be a model, but it did not stipulate that Roland was not allowed to paint, nor did it stipulate the time to be a model.

Although the airship did not stop at Katarina's territory, it was also possible that someone was sent directly from the ship to send things down.

Considering this possibility, Roland maintained etiquette.

He patiently listened to them arguing before asking about the gift in a very euphemistic way.

Katarina listened to Roland's words with a smile, and then asked strangely: “Lord Roland, I didn’t quite understand what you meant. What gift?”

(PS: Lord is not a title, but a respectful address for nobles)

For a moment, Roland almost suspected that he had remembered it wrong, or that the person in front of him was not Katarina.

It was not until Roland saw the corners of Katarina's mouth slightly curved, with a bit of mockery, that he suddenly understood.

He nodded deeply and said: “I have long heard that Princess Katarina is proficient in various magics. I have been studying the ‘Great Memory Restoration Technique’ recently. It just so happens that your memory seems to have problems. After eating my tricks, you will definitely be cured.”

Before he could finish speaking, an angry figure suddenly flashed over.

Roland raised his scabbard to block.

With a bang, the sound of a sword strike flashed, and Roland's scabbard collided with Ariana's scabbard, sparking sparks. Then Roland took three steps back, and Ariana took half a step back.

Ariana was actually not that proficient in the common language. Roland's words were a little complicated for her. So she didn't fully understand.

However, she heard that Roland was going to teach Katarina a lesson.

She was very angry, so she wanted to teach him a lesson. However, she didn't draw her sword, she used the scabbard. Roland also didn't draw his sword, he used the scabbard.

Seemingly not expecting that this kid would actually catch her sword, Ariana was a little surprised, and then a deep chill appeared in her eyes.

Sooner said than done. After Ariana took half a step back, her movements did not stop at all, and there was no stiffness. She kicked back like a cat and rushed over again.

Roland actually blocked this sword again, but Ariana's power was extremely terrifying. Relying on her own strength advantage, she deliberately pushed Roland back hard.

Seeing that Roland was pushed to the ground and was about to slide to the wall, Ariana changed her mind—she was going to pull down his pants and spank his butt!

At this moment, Ariana actually felt that the power coming from Roland's scabbard was getting stronger and stronger, and in the blink of an eye, he had stabilized his steps.

At the same time, Ariana also realized in astonishment that Roland's body seemed to be getting taller and bigger, and soon he was half a head taller than Ariana.

This... what kind of magic is this?

In a daze, Ariana suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from the sword sheath, causing her to slide backward quite a distance.

What does this guy want to do?

He wants to—

Feeling the wall getting closer and closer behind her, Ariana was consumed by anger. She pushed Roland away violently and thrust the sword sheath forward.

Swish, swish, swish... Two afterimages flashed continuously, and the studio was filled with a gust of wind. Canvases, curtains, and miscellaneous objects rattled chaotically.

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged several moves.

Ariana seemed to be getting serious. Roland was surprised to find that her strength, agility, and other aspects were improving at an alarming rate, and she was getting stronger as she fought.

She was practically a super-powered Anna!

It could even be said that Anna wouldn't last a few moves against her!

The latest and most updated novel is first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

But!

Her body was very uncoordinated, and her judgment of distance was clearly flawed.

It was like a boxer with phantom limb syndrome, who clearly only had a two-meter reach, but always thought his reach was three meters.

There's no way she could hit anyone!

Her swordsmanship was extremely terrifying, worthy of being called a little sword saint.

However, it was as if she hadn't used a sword for many, many years. Despite having superb skills, she was very rusty.

Roland had the feeling that he was fighting a patient who was recovering from a serious illness.

Roland's swordsmanship was already good, and his wizard level was even stronger. After undergoing hellish special training in Straw Town, his intuition, reaction, experience, and evasion were extremely terrifying.

His evasion stat was already ridiculously high, and after merging with the bird, he became even more elusive. In contrast, Ariana made all sorts of mistakes when attacking.

Even so, Ariana was still a Body Refinement expert at the peak of the late First Order, and shouldn't have been at a disadvantage against Roland.

But she had too many concerns when drawing her sword—she was dressed too inconveniently!

After noticing Roland's strange gaze, she became both angry and ashamed, and her state of mind was affected, causing her to hesitate when drawing her sword.

This allowed Roland to gain the upper hand!

But, but!

Roland became more and more alarmed as he fought. Miss Ariana the elf seemed to be familiarizing herself with her body and regaining her swordsmanship skills at an extremely fast pace.

In less than thirty moves, he would have to max out both her body and swordsmanship proficiency.

On the thirty-first move, she would be able to kill him in one blow!

After a dozen moves, Roland became familiar with her routines, seized upon one of her mistakes, and with both hands gripping the hilt and sheath, used a classic knight's disarming technique to knock the sword out of Ariana's hand, then kicked her in the back of the knee.

Ariana cried out 'Ouch' and fell to the ground, and Roland's sword sheath was placed under her chin.

Humiliation!

She was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die!

She never expected that her first battle after recovery would end in such a defeat!

If she had another week to recover... No, even just three days, she would be able to grind him into the ground!

She was not convinced! Not convinced!

Looking at Ariana's ashamed and angry gaze, Roland secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

But he had already put on a show, so he couldn't lose face!

He snorted and mocked her in a stern voice: "As expected, you are a flower in a greenhouse, with no practical combat experience. You have wasted your martial arts skills for nothing."

With a face full of disdain, Roland put away his sword and divine bird and looked at Katarina.

As a result, before he could say anything, he felt a pain in his wrist.

Roland looked at Ariana in disbelief, and found that this guy was actually biting his hand!

He never expected that this little sword saint was not only a noob, but also didn't play by the rules!

"Ariana!"

Katarina scolded, and Ariana shook her mouth fiercely, then let go and glared at Roland fiercely.

Roland cried out in pain, and saw that blood was already flowing from his wrist.

He almost fainted from anger.

These two are pig teammates!

One is a barbarian!

The other is spoiled and hateful!

What bothered Roland even more was that the opportunity to come here was something he and his senior brother had fought desperately for!

And the reward? A high-level apprentice of the Snake Tower receives 4 magic stones a month. A formal wizard receives 8.

Looking at Ariana's smug and provocative eyes, Roland trembled with anger. He held his bleeding wrist and pointed at the two stinky women, saying: "You, you are really bullying people too much!"

Katarina shook her head, suddenly losing her spoiled appearance.

She asked: "You, you get angry after a few words, you're really not a good sport. It's just a few small gifts, I wouldn't secretly keep them, would I?"

Roland cursed inwardly.

He had heard about what kind of person she was in the past few days.

Her reputation was very bad, or rather, her reputation among the apprentices was very bad.

Katarina belonged to the same type of people as 'Ailina' and 'Aurelia'.

During her apprenticeship, she often bullied others.

She played around a lot and was very selfish. She had no sense of the big picture.

She could really do something like keeping other people's things.

After all, she was stronger.

With her status and realm, she could only swallow her anger if she was bullied. So she had done a lot of this kind of immoral thing.

However, she had status. Doing some immoral things in private was in private.

If she really encountered someone who didn't value their life and insisted on making a scene, she wouldn't want to make things big.

But Roland was a thorny hard bone, not the kind of person who would swallow his anger. If he really made a scene.

So, according to Katarina's persona, she would definitely try to smooth things over, after all, it would be embarrassing if things got out of hand.

Therefore, when she said 'It's just a joke, why are you taking it so seriously', Roland knew that this guy was going to take a step back.

Roland's purpose today was very clear, to get back his things. As long as she let go, he would give her a way out. He would turn around and leave after taking the things.

Katarina asked: "Don't you usually communicate with Catherine?"

Roland had specifically looked at the parchment before coming out, and there was no information on it.

But he couldn't say that, so he said: "Your Highness, I am not familiar with Catherine, and she was in seclusion at the end, so I didn't disturb her. Has she already received the things?"

What surprised Roland a little was that Katarina didn't directly follow the steps down, but sneered.

This made Roland inexplicably wonder if what he had just said had made her angry.

"Roland, with your reputation, do you think I would believe you if you said you were innocent with my sister?"

Roland suddenly understood.

No wonder she sneered just now—she was despising him.

Sigh...

Seeing Roland sighing there, not saying a word for a long time. Katarina asked a very curious question: "Roland, are you confident in defeating me?"

Roland said: "No."

Katarina frowned. She thought that this guy had become arrogant after cultivating in Straw Town for a few years.

So she asked curiously: "Then why do you dare to be rude to me?"

Roland answered very simply. He said: "Your Excellency, can't is can't, dare not is dare not. Besides, I may not be unable to."

Katarina nodded deeply. She looked at Roland and said: "Lord Roland, it seems you are really not afraid of death."

Roland didn't speak.
