I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Bang, bang, bang.

Several torches were lit, and the dark hall gradually gained a faint light.

The red-haired newbie was complaining in a low voice, Wallace was groaning while rubbing his sore buttocks, and the blond newbie was staring at the disappearing exit above with a resentful expression.

After a moment, the blond newbie retracted his gaze and said, "Everyone, the exit has been sealed off by them. It seems that unless we get rid of that evil spirit, the adults will not let us leave."

The blond newbie faintly had the aura of a leader.

The red-haired newbie said resentfully, "This is really a good plan. If we can successfully eliminate the evil spirit, the problem will be solved. But if things don't go well and someone gets possessed, hehe, then we just need to kill that person, and the problem will be easily solved."

"Cough, cough!" Wallace coughed heavily twice, hurriedly interrupting the topic.

He glanced at Roland intentionally or unintentionally and said to the two newbies, "Don't talk nonsense. If any of us are possessed by the evil spirit, we can only blame our lack of skill—the fault lies with us, not with Lady Catherine. Besides, being possessed by a demon doesn't mean it can't be exorcised. If we can manage to save them in time, why kill them?"

At this moment, the two newbies suddenly remembered Roland's identity.

That kid is Catherine's student! If someone speaks ill of his mentor behind her back, who knows if he will tell her?

The gazes of the two towards Roland contained a bit more rejection.

Roland said, "Senior brothers, I am just a disciple of the Black Abyss Academy like you. Surviving under Lady Catherine is very difficult."

He deliberately lifted his leather armor to let everyone see his waist.

"Look, the mentor is afraid that I will damage her magical item, so she has already taken it back. She doesn't treat me as a student at all. To her, I am just 'human medicine' for her pets."

The rejection in the blond newbie's eyes disappeared a little, and the red-haired newbie's eyes showed a bit of sympathy.

Roland continued, "That woman doesn't treat me as her student, and I don't treat her as my teacher. Therefore, I won't reveal anything we say or do here today—of course..."

Roland changed the subject and introduced the main topic: "Of course, although I won't blabber, if anyone gets a top-tier magical item, don't forget the benefits for the others."

"Roland is right." Wallace stroked his beard and interjected with a smile, "The entire treasure of Fernwood is here."

Wallace's words were suggestive.

The eyes of the two newbies lit up.

Roland is Catherine's student, and Wallace is the school's handyman. If both of them turn a blind eye, wouldn't everyone be able to divide up the magical items here as they please?

Seeing that the two newbies understood, Wallace warned again, "Of course, don't be too greedy. The adults will turn a blind eye to secretly hiding one or two magical items. But if someone finds the Yellow Fern Holy Grail and the Bitter Slumber Cauldron, they still have to hand them over. You must know that Lady Catherine and Lord Leonaire came for these two treasures."

Roland and the two newbies expressed, "Lord Wallace is right. How would we dare to secretly hide such things."

Thinking of the magical items here, the hearts of the two newbies couldn't help but burn with passion.

Previously, in order to please the handyman Wallace, they each gave 3 magic stones as a greeting gift.

Low-level apprentices who have just entered the door are very tight on money. It may take several months to save up 3 magic stones.

But if they can find a good magical item—no, even if they only find a damaged magical item to sell as scrap, they can sell it for dozens of magic stones!

And if they are lucky enough to find a high-quality magical item... even high-level apprentices don't have many of these!

Therefore, they are now facing danger, but also facing opportunity.

Wallace said, "Don't just think about the rewards, and forget about our mission. Although that demon has weakened to the level of an evil spirit, it's still best to be cautious."

After saying that, Wallace took out several bottles of potions from his package with great heartache and distributed them to everyone.

Wallace said, "These are not ordinary potions, but the famous magic potion 'Evil Demon Immunity'. One bottle will prevent even the most powerful evil spirit from occupying your body. You should be able to recognize the value of this. The academy sells this magic potion for 25 magic stones per bottle, I won't charge much, 30 magic stones per bottle. You can write it down on your account first, and we'll settle it later."

According to Wallace's intention, whether or not they buy the magic potion from him is up to them. But at this time, who would dare to refuse this potion?

This stuff is a protective potion specially used by those high-level apprentices of Demonology when enslaving demons.

Unless they encounter a valuable and very dangerous demon, high-level apprentices are reluctant to drink this stuff.

Of course, although it is very expensive, its effect is also very significant.

Both newbies are pure-blood wizards and are very knowledgeable. After taking it, they discovered that although Wallace's stuff was diluted with some water, the magic potion was genuine high-quality stuff in terms of quality!

With this stuff, everyone's confidence doubled.

"Lord Wallace," the blond newbie said, "This palace is so big, let's split up and look for that demon. If it takes too long, the adults outside might open the exit and come in to check the situation. By then, we won't be able to get any magical items."

Wallace hesitated slightly and asked, "Do you understand mind protection and demon detection magic?"

The two newbies nodded one after another. Roland didn't understand evil detection magic, but he also nodded along.

Wallace said, "Alright, the four of us can separate a little, but don't stray too far. Lest someone gets possessed and the others don't have time to rescue them."

After a pause, he specifically instructed, "Use detection magic more, and don't be stingy with your magic power. If you find it, tell me immediately. My major is Demonology, and I am confident that I can exorcise it."

Wallace was very cautious, but the two newbies felt that this caution was very necessary.

Soon, the four separated.

But Roland, after a moment, walked back alone and followed behind Wallace.

Wallace asked with some surprise, "Roland, why are you back again?"

Roland said, "Lord Wallace, I haven't seen an evil spirit, and I haven't seen a demon. I really don't have the confidence to detect that thing. Besides, I don't even have a magical item now. Even if I find that thing, I can't deal with it."

Wallace nodded and said, "Alright, you just follow behind me. If we really encounter something terrible, I can save your life once."

He paused for a moment, then held out a finger very seriously and said, "Can only save you once."

When Wallace said the first sentence, Roland didn't take it seriously.

But when Wallace said the second sentence, Roland couldn't help but look strange.

Next, Wallace said the third sentence, "Can only save you once, two hundred magic stones."

Roland thought for a while and said, "Lord, I've taken your words to heart... I won't let you save this life for nothing."

At this time, the two had already walked to the edge of the north hall, and in front of them was a half-covered door.

They glanced into the door and showed strange expressions.

The latest novel is at Six 9 Book Bar first!

Outside the door was actually the south side of this hall!

The entire hall was like a Möbius strip, and they were ants on the strip. No matter how they walked, they couldn't get out of this hall.

Looking again, there were some scattered wizard robes, rusty armor, and other remnants scattered on the ground not far from the door.

There were no traces of battle around, nor were there any corpses. Therefore, these relics may have all come from 'sufferers'.

Therefore, there must be magical items in the relics.

Roland and Wallace looked at each other, but neither of them had any intention of rummaging through the relics for magical items.

Roland said, "Lord, it's just an evil spirit. With your Evil Demon Immunity, do the two of us need to be so careful?"

Wallace smiled awkwardly and said, "Roland, you are 'Miss's' student. I won't harm you. If I encounter danger and I live, but you die, I can't explain it clearly. With Miss's paranoia, she's afraid she'll send me back to hell..."

At this moment, Wallace's gaze moved slightly. He stretched out his hand and waved, and the torches in Roland's and his hands went out instantly.

Wallace said in a low voice, "Shh, someone's coming..."

Roland frowned and sensed it. After a long time, he finally felt someone coming. His pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

He had the keenness of a high-level swordsman, but Wallace had discovered someone coming before him. This old fox was indeed not some sixty-year-old middle-level apprentice old waste.

The two quietly concealed their aura and waited by the door.

Before long, a torch approached from the distance outside the door—it seemed to be that blond newbie.

After discovering these relics, the blond newbie hurriedly extinguished the torch in his hand. A look of excitement appeared in his eyes, and he carefully used demon detection magic to check the relics on the ground.

After a moment, he confirmed that there were no demons hidden in the relics on the ground, so he used a stick to rummage through the relics.

There were a lot of relics, and there were also a lot of treasures!

In a short while, this guy actually rummaged out more than a dozen magical items!

Seeing this scene, the two secretly clicked their tongues, but there was not a trace of envy in their eyes.

Soon, the blond newbie gathered all the magical items together with a stick, and one of the magical items caught Roland's attention.

It was a brass holy grail covered in ferns.

Upon discovering the Holy Grail, the blonde freshman couldn't hide the elation in his eyes. He glanced around, then used Evil Detection on the strange objects once more. After confirming there were no issues, he waved his wand and neatly collected everything into the magical storage pouch at his waist.

As the Holy Grail fell into his pocket, Roland vaguely saw a shadow on the Grail, pouncing onto the blonde freshman.

The blonde freshman shivered, completely unaware, and left.

After the blonde freshman had gone far away, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

[“Indeed, Brother Roland. We guessed right!”] Wallace wiped away cold sweat, sending a mental message to Roland: [“The Demon Detection magic really couldn't detect that guy—poor 'Claire' (the blonde freshman), I even told him to be careful! He was the one who suggested splitting up, we didn't bewitch them into finding strange objects!”]

[“Brother Wallace, how can this be your fault? It's that demon who's too despicable and insidious.”] Roland wiped away cold sweat, replying mentally: [“You not only reminded them multiple times, but also specially shared the potions. It's just that these potions are useless against demons of this level. Instead, they gave them the courage to rummage around recklessly! Besides, although he's doomed, the rest are safe! You saved everyone!”]

[“Hmph, let's go, kid.”] Wallace said: [“We have to wait until the Evil Demon has completely taken over Claire and can't escape from his body before we can kill him. Otherwise, if we kill him prematurely, the Evil Demon will occupy someone else's body... Well, no, we better hide and mind our own business. The ladies will be down in a moment, and then no matter how it struggles, it's doomed.”]

Wallace didn't know that the Abyssal Lord's remnant had split itself into two parts, one large and one small. He still thought Catherine and the others would be down in a moment.

Roland sighed inwardly: ‘Sorry, but this time I have to drag you down with me. If we take care of this small one, the large one will also be severely injured... But if we can't handle it, the mentors will be in danger.’
