I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Delia was covered in leeches, wriggling incessantly, a truly horrifying sight.

Yet, she seemed oblivious, still trying to lean on Roland.

"The rain is too heavy," Delia said sweetly, hinting for Roland to embrace her.

Roland turned and walked away, leaving her alone in the downpour.

Delia: "? ? ?"

Elenna, Catherine, and Roderick were walking side-by-side ahead.

Roderick was on the far left, holding an umbrella by himself. Catherine was in the middle, talking to him, while Elenna was on the right, holding an umbrella for Catherine.

The umbrella in Elenna's hand was very large, like a parasol. There was still some space on her right, and Roland squeezed in directly.

Seeing Roland suddenly run over, the three of them couldn't help but stare at him in slight astonishment.

Roland brushed off the rain from his body, not saying a word.

He recalled in his mind the few ancestral precepts that Delia had told him before.

[1. Must walk after entering the stone bridge;]

[2. Must not make loud noises near the castle, and even more so, must not abuse magic;]

[3. Must not wander around the castle at night;]

[4. Salt must be sprinkled regularly inside and outside the castle.]

[5. After stepping onto the stone bridge at night, must not turn back.]

Recalling the first four items, a flash of white light suddenly appeared in Roland's mind.

At this time, Catherine and the others had been staring at Roland for a long time. Seeing Roland looking around nervously, strange expressions appeared on their faces.

Catherine asked, "Roland, did you come over suddenly because something happened?"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Roland suddenly dart over and cover her mouth.

Catherine: "? ? ?"

Roderick and Elenna: "? ? ?"

"Shhh! Don't talk!"

Roland looked at the ground one meter ahead with terror, and whispered to the three of them, "Don't talk, don't move, they'll hear us."

The three of them looked at the ground ahead with suspicion.

There was nothing one meter away, but a little further ahead, a group of tiny water ants were moving their home.

Catherine and Roland had a good understanding of each other. Although her expression was very strange, she guessed that Roland must have seen something.

So, she allowed Roland to cover her mouth and didn't say a word.

But Roderick on the side couldn't hold back anymore.

He could tell that this kid seemed to have suddenly gone crazy.

Roderick naturally knew about the rumors of mental problems among the Black Abyss Wizards. And he had heard of the legend of this 'Straw Baron'.

He really couldn't understand why Catherine, who was so beautiful and had such a noble status, would insist on being engaged to such a person.

And Catherine didn't get angry, nor did she take his hand away... Catherine was playing along with this madman!

Roderick really couldn't hold back.

Roderick was married, but he had many lovers.

Along the way, he had been intentionally and unintentionally looking for opportunities, hoping to deepen his 'relationship' with the Black Abyss lineage. If he could successfully establish a deeper friendship with this princess, it would be a win-win situation for both fame and fortune.

Therefore, he had been showing off his demeanor along the way, trying to increase some goodwill.

Now he also began to show his demeanor.

He smiled slightly and waved his sleeve. Then a small, gentle 'Wind Prince' gathered in front.

Immediately afterwards, the Wind Prince carefully sent the group of water ants into the distance.

Afterwards, he looked at Catherine very gentlemanly and smiled, then said to Roland, "The water ants have safely reached their destination, you can let go of the princess now."

Roderick thought he was哄(hǒng) a child, going along with this person's mental illness, playing with him.

As a result, it seemed to have disturbed Roland.

Roland was stunned in place, his gaze slowly moving from one meter ahead, landing on Roderick.

Then, his face became extremely ugly, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Looking at Roland's gaze, Roderick couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Roderick cursed in his heart: 'This madman! Sure enough, normal people can't keep up with the thinking of a madman!'

He pretended to show a gentlemanly smile, seemingly wanting to say a witty remark to Catherine humorously.

But before he could say a word, he heard Roland burst out and curse: "Don't fucking come over, it's disgusting, stay away from us... Crap, they'll jump!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Roderick saw Roland hug Catherine and Elenna's waists with both hands and start dancing!

Like a butterfly flying away!

Roland was also strong enough, holding the two ladies with both hands, twisting and turning around.

While dancing, he also directed Catherine and Elenna's movements: "Quick, lift your legs and turn around, don't step on them!! Crap crap crap! There are too many, umbrellas! Umbrellas!"

Catherine actually listened to his crazy words, lifted her leg and turned around, performing a beautiful waltz.

And the elf lady also listened to this madman's command, pulling the two of them and waving the umbrellas.

The large umbrella drew a few beautiful trajectories in the air, blocking the 'air' over there.

Then, with a rustling sound, the large umbrella splashed out pieces of water in the dance, all falling on Roderick.

Roderick watched Roland and the others dancing, with a look of confusion.

What are these three guys doing?!

Roderick understood why Catherine usually哄(hǒng) her fiancé.

Because she also has a mental illness!

That elf is also quite ill!

The people of the Black Abyss are all madmen!

They clearly look like aloof and cold, but their true faces are like this!

Roderick felt unwell all over.

Roderick was disheveled in the rain, and Catherine also felt unwell all over.

After holding hands with Roland and completing another turn, Catherine couldn't hold back anymore when she saw the dull expressions of the siblings over there.

"Roland, what are you doing, I'm so embarrassed now!"

Anna also said a sentence in Elvish in a low voice, meaning that Elenna is also very embarrassed now!

At this time, the three of them were already some distance away from Roderick, and Roland finally stopped hugging them.

He wiped the cold sweat from his head, stared at Roderick's body and the open space around him, and said, "Can't you see them?"

Catherine was very frustrated: "See what!"

Roland looked at Roderick not far away and said in horror, "Leeches, there are leeches everywhere. They are attracted by magic, and they have all crawled onto his body!"

Roland's words were like a thunderbolt, resounding in Roderick's ears.

His body suddenly swayed slightly, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

A memory that had been deleted by someone vaguely reappeared in his mind.

This memory was so fragmented, but it was so unforgettable.

It was like the nightmare that had tormented him in countless nights!

Roderick raised his hand sluggishly. He was sure that there was nothing on his hands.

But from the beginning, he had really felt that something was wrong with his blood and magic.

His blood and magic were constantly flowing away from his hands.

Roderick suddenly felt a little itchy.

He scratched his clean back of his hand, scratched his face and back.

He felt like he had grabbed a lot of sticky things in his hands, but when he looked at his hand, there was nothing.

Rumble rumble

A lightning bolt flashed across the rainy night.

In that fleeting light, Roderick's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had seen something in that instant.

He saw something shaking in his sight, blurring his vision—it seemed to be leeches shaking on his eyeballs.

When the light dissipated, the surroundings returned to darkness. Everything returned to normal.

Roderick repeatedly looked at his hands, repeatedly checking his body.

He took off his clothes and scratched his body like a madman. He kept muttering that he was itchy. He said that there were invisible leeches on his body. Then he tore off the skin on his arms, the skin on his face, and the skin on his back!

"Brother, what are you doing! What have you all been doing from the beginning!"

Delia had been dumbfounded for a long time.

She grabbed her hair, feeling unwell all over.

Originally, only that person named Roland was going crazy.

Then, those two women also went crazy!

Just now, her brother suddenly went crazy too!

Crazy, everyone is crazy!

All of everything was because of what that person said.

He said a word to those two women, and then they went crazy.

He said a word to her brother, and then her brother went crazy.

Delia was very scared that they would look at her at the same time in the next moment!

At this time, Roderick suddenly shouted in a low voice, "I remember! Hahaha, I remember! Salt! Give me salt! Delia, give me salt!"

Delia was dumbfounded.

But Roland seemed to have an epiphany. He suddenly pulled out a large bucket of salt, and then, pulling the two ladies along, he walked forward a couple of steps. He then scattered a large pile of salt on the ground about a meter in front of him.

He cautiously observed the ‘air’ on the ground, and then revealed an extremely surprised expression.

Following that, he led the two towards Roderick's side.

He walked while scattering salt along the way.

Like holding a shield, Elena held the umbrella to protect Roland. Listening to Roland's directions, she constantly changed the direction of the umbrella, sometimes blocking from the east, sometimes from the west.

She was soaked through, but she didn't care at all.

Catherine then took out another umbrella to cover Roland's large bucket of salt. She was also soaked through.

The rain was heavy, but Roland seemed to have brought a lot of salt, and he actually managed to create a salt path in this heavy rain!

After arriving near Roderick, Roland first scattered a pile of salt on the ground around Roderick, and then he poured the salt all over Roderick.

"It's almost gone, almost gone! After these leeches came into contact with the salt, they all turned to ashes!

Roderick, how do you feel now? On your arm, on your arm... your right arm!"

Roland said while scattering salt. He had Elena use the umbrella to cover Roderick, lest the salt on his body be washed away by the rain.

Roderick's entire skin was gone, and his body was covered in blood. But he still vigorously rubbed salt on his body.

Under Roland's direction, he smeared salt all over his body.

"Ah, that's great, that's really great. It doesn't itch anymore, the leeches should all be gone. I feel like the leeches are gradually withering."

Roderick had a look of comfort on his face. As he rubbed, his entire body gradually withered and dried up.

Then, he fell to the ground and died.

Roland and the two ladies opened their mouths wide, stunned.

Delia, who was not far away, saw this scene, her body swayed violently, and then she rushed over like crazy, hugging her brother.

As a result of this hug, Delia felt that her brother was like a crispy biscuit, and with a few cracking sounds, he shattered all over the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Roderick's remains turned to ashes.

Delia was stunned for a moment, then covered her face and cried loudly.

"You, you bunch of lunatics! Lunatics! Look at what you've done!"

At this moment, the cold sweat on Roland's face streamed down.

They hadn't even entered the door to place the Earl, and they had already killed the Earl's own son!

"What we've done? Heh heh."

Catherine laughed coldly: "Delia, Roderick told us to sprinkle the salt. He rubbed it on himself too.

After he finished rubbing, he lay on the ground wanting to rest for a while. But when you came over and hugged him, he was like swallowing a sunstone, turning into ashes... Heh heh."

Delia looked up at this black-hearted woman in disbelief: "You, what are you saying?"

Catherine ignored Delia. She looked around, then sneered: "Delia, I would like to ask you, what exactly is going on—is the curse hidden on this stone bridge placed by you, or by the Bloodless Warlocks?"

"A curse?"

Delia was completely dumbfounded. It took her a long time to understand what Catherine meant.

Sister, your heart is too dark! Do you have any conscience!

We kindly received you, but you want to exterminate our entire family!

This time, the King of a Thousand Eyes personally ordered it.

As the party responsible for making contact, if Bloodless Fortress made any mistakes, her father, Earl Durant, would probably be reduced to ashes.

Now, her brother has inexplicably died tragically in front of the gates of Bloodless Fortress, and the daughter of the King of a Thousand Eyes insists on framing them, saying that Bloodless Fortress colluded with the White Chess Council to assassinate her...

This matter cannot be cleared up at all!

Her father definitely doesn't want to take the blame.

But he won't argue with Catherine either.

For the sake of this cooperation that is beneficial to the development of the family, he will probably choose to make a big deal into a small deal, and a small deal into nothing.

After all, there are many sons. If the eldest son dies, there is still the second daughter, the third son, the fourth son, the fifth daughter...

Delia and her brother were jointly responsible for leading the way. Now that something has gone wrong, someone must take responsibility.

In addition, since she is already suspicious, her father will definitely make his choice after hearing this—the second daughter framed the eldest son for the sake of inheritance, disturbing the noble Princess.

Her father's board may be raised high and dropped lightly.

Or, in order to appease the Princess, he will reduce her to ashes.

The so-called truth is no longer important. What is important is whether Catherine is willing to continue cooperating with Bloodless Fortress, or will choose to cooperate with other families in Twilight.

Bloodless Fortress is not the only one with imprisoned species.

Whoosh... Delia felt a warmth on her buttocks, but her body felt a chill.

She crawled over wanting to hug Catherine's leg, but was kicked away by Elena beside her.

"Your Highness, that's not how it is, please listen to my explanation..."

At this time, Delia no longer had the face she had just had to settle the score with her brother. Instead, she begged the three suspects in front of her to raise their hands and spare her.

Her thinking was much clearer than just now. In a few words, she shifted the matter to the 'Curse of Heraka'.

Roderick clearly violated the ancestral precepts when passing over the stone bridge. He used magic!

Normally speaking, violating the ancestral precepts near Bloodless Fortress may not be a big deal. At most, he would just cough a little.

But who knows what happened today?

Perhaps it has something to do with this heavy rain?

Whenever it rains, strange things do tend to happen more easily near Bloodless Fortress.

Logically speaking, the evening is when Bloodless Warlocks like to come out and move around, but today's rain is particularly heavy, which makes it so that there is not a single living person around Bloodless Fortress.

Moreover, there should have been many people going out to welcome them today, but everyone was waiting inside the gate. Although the main reason was other reasons, the heavy rain was also a factor.

Delia explained a lot, clearing Roland and the others completely, and incidentally clearing herself as well.

While crying, she attributed the matter to the 'Curse of Heraka' and 'Bloodless Mysteries'.

Then, she sobbed about the deep affection between her and her brother.

"Wuwuwu, Your Excellency Catherine..."

Crying, Delia was truly moved, she howled in despair: "How could I let Roderick die..."

She grabbed the ashes on the ground, her heart was about to break: "He is the person I love the most... My two children are not my husband's, they are my brother's! Wuwuwu, look at their hair, they are all golden..."

Miserable!

Too miserable!

Roland covered his face severely on the side.

He knew that someone would definitely have to take the blame for today's matter.

But if Senior Sister continues to operate like this... this pair of siblings is really too miserable, too pitiful. It's simply a disaster!

Moreover, the root cause of this matter is all Roland's fault!

First of all, he had to tell Roderick that there were leeches on his body!

If Roderick didn't know, nothing would have happened.

Secondly, he had to sprinkle salt on him.

On the other hand, Delia also had a lot of leeches on her body, and she didn't sprinkle salt on herself, and she is still alive and kicking.

Obviously, low SAN and salt should be the death gate of Bloodless Warlocks. And Roland, he poked at people's death gate!

Roland did follow Roderick's instructions to sprinkle salt, but Roland did so with some experimental ideas... Can he not be responsible?

Roderick was killed by Roland.

In fact, when that kid was pretending to perform, Roland saw his little tricks—using that kind of yellow-haired routine in front of my woman? Still want to step on me to show off? I'll play you to death!

But now there is such a delicate little beauty, crying so heartbreakingly in front of you—and she is still your brain-dead fan!

As a big man, how can you not soften your heart?

Roland planned to let Senior Sister raise her hand slightly—there was no need to kill her.

And then comfort this beautiful lady well.

He looked at Senior Sister and cautiously advised: "Ahem, Catherine, Miss Delia actually—"

Catherine glared at Roland coldly.

Son-in-law Roland looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart. He honestly shut his mouth and didn't dare to fart anymore.
