I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 132: Painting in the Skin!

(5K chapter)

On the spiral stone steps of the Dal Tower, Keira and a female apprentice of the Black Abyss were walking down the stairs together.

Kayla said to the female apprentice beside her, "Angel, you came just in time. With you here, the task assigned to us by our instructor is now secure."

In the evening, Kayla went crazy in the big bathhouse, causing a lot of jokes, which made Teacher Dahl very disappointed.

Half an hour ago, her mental state returned to normal under the effect of the potion, and she begged her mentor to take charge of this mission.

After her mentor agreed, Kayla met Angel when she went downstairs.

Angel, the female apprentice of the Black Abyss, is Kayla's best friend. Kayla can talk to her about anything, so she tells her everything.

Angel immediately offered to help.

Angel said, "Don't worry, Kayla. This is what I came here for."

Kayla was a little confused and asked, "Angel, if you are a special investigator of the Black Abyss, then where are those four young wizards?"

Angel sneered, "What else can that bunch of rubbish do besides internal strife and betrayal? Black Abyss is no longer the Black Abyss it once was. Are they worthy enough to represent the Black Abyss School?"

Angel's tone is very arrogant, but her strength is indeed impressive.

She is a senior apprentice.

Her appearance is very pure, even a little holy, but she has a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes.

Whenever she blinked her big watery eyes and talked to others, it seemed like she was flirting.

Even Kayla felt her heart fluttering as she chatted with her.

Kayla swears that her sexual orientation is normal, but her girlfriend is so attractive that she can't help but want to get close to her every time she meets her.

While chatting, the two had already arrived at the courtyard outside the wizard tower.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a dozen or so mid- and low-level apprentices were surrounding Roland.

Not knowing what Roland was doing, the White Fang apprentices who were watching looked at him with strange eyes.

When Angel saw Roland's face clearly, he was startled for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.

She walked over with a smile and greeted Roland. "I was wondering who the person here to investigate was. Turns out it's Junior Brother Roland. I know you. You've been quite famous lately."

Roland didn't even look at her, busying himself.

It looked like he had just put on his pants in public and was now shirtless, smearing something on himself, not shying away from the gazes of others.

He behaved like a madman, mumbling to himself, not knowing what he was saying.

Angel looked at each other in surprise, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and found that it was the 'Hemostasis Curse'.

Angel sniffed the air and found the scent of 'hemostatic glue'. It seemed that the boy was applying styptic glue to himself while casting a hemostatic spell on himself.

At this moment, Roland put on the fire demon lizard leather armor with a grin, and then wiped the edge of the leather armor with a hot towel. The leather armor was obviously very clean, but he wiped it over and over again.

"What is this psychopath doing?" Angel frowned and looked at the many apprentices.

One of the apprentices shook his head and said, "I don't know, Master Angel. He has been like this since he went downstairs. We fed him potions before, but it didn't work."

Kayla shook her head and said, "He's probably gone crazy again, the same crazy disease that's prevalent in this town. He always feels that he has no skin and will have to rely on this kid to lead the way. It's really terrible. Angel, you are good at psychiatry and soul studies, can you treat him?"

Angel looked at Roland with disdain and said, "There's no hope."

After a pause, she added, "People from the Black Abyss School all have some strange mental illnesses. But they're intermittent. Let him finish his work, and he'll be fine. Otherwise, he'll go crazy."

Roland had already put on his cloak. He checked his entire body and breathed a sigh of relief. The pain on his face was no longer as severe.

He looked at everyone and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. My skin disease just flared up. Hey, senior sister, you actually..."

Angel said coldly, "Special Investigator from the Black Abyss."

Roland's expression dawned on him. This senior looked vaguely familiar to him. He figured he'd seen her the day he went to the Magic Chess Club. The instructors had been busy running around in the lobby that day, and quite a few of them had stayed afterward.

When I was walking out of the lobby, several senior students stopped me. I don’t know if it was one of them.

He once again looked at the senior student and was convinced that she had a high level of attainment in mysticism.

Because she has skin.

Keira looked at the moon in the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's get going early. Your name is Roland, right? According to your clues, where should we go now?"

Roland nodded, took out the wish needle, looked at it, and then pointed to the distant hilltop: "My skin is there."

Kayla looked at the inferior wish-finger needle in Roland's hand, and her eyes twitched violently.

A middle-level apprentice nearby yelled, "Damn it, Boss! This lunatic is playing tricks on us!"

Kayla slapped her forehead and said, "Damn it! Don't tell me the so-called clue is this wishing needle!"

Roland looked at the mountain in the distance and shook his head and said, "Didn't you see that skin?"

Everyone: "What leather?"

Roland pointed to the mist in the distance that was slowly retreating back into the mountains and said, "Skin."

No one cares about him.

Kayla looked at Angel and asked, "Where were you planning to investigate tonight?"

Angel looked at the mountain with a strange expression: "I waited until night to go up the mountain."

Everyone was slightly stunned and very surprised.

Kayla looked at the misty mountaintops in the distance under the moonlight, shook her head and said, "Angel, the shepherds around the town often go there to graze their sheep, but there's nothing there. To be honest, I went there specifically at night when there was ghost fog. Ghost fog can easily make people lost, but with some effort, you can still get up the mountain."

She emphasized again: "I went to see it with my mentor, and some of the wizards who often come here to play have also been there. There is nothing there."

Roland also frowned. Kayla's words made him doubt his own judgment.

Angel shook his head and said, "That place is not simple. Let's go. I brought some things with me this time. Maybe we can find the real mountain."

Everyone seemed to trust Angel very much, and her words were the final word.

Soon, the group went up the mountain and entered a foggy area.

The surroundings were gloomy and nothing could be seen beyond five meters. Kayla used a magical object to connect everyone together to prevent anyone from getting lost.

She said, "Angel, if you let me lead the way again, I'm afraid we'll end up on that hilltop where there's nothing. What good stuff did you bring? Take it out and let's see it."

Angel took out a small ball with a funny smiley face painted on it.

After looking at the smiling face, she revealed a very strange expression. Then, pretending to test her junior, she looked at Roland with a half-smile: "Our little guide, do you want to try his wish needle again?"

Roland looked at the strange little ball and took out his cheap wish needle.

After looking for a while, Roland turned around and pointed down the mountain: "Just go straight ahead."

Everyone looked down the mountain, their expressions strange: "Didn't you say that place was on the mountain?"

"It's on the mountain." Roland said firmly. He pointed down the mountain and said, "That's the mountain."

Ten minutes later.
Kayla thought she must be crazy.

I actually believed what that madman said.

They followed the madman, holding the broken wish needle, and wandered around in circles, sometimes up the mountain, sometimes down the mountain, and sometimes wandering aimlessly in the ghost fog, almost getting lost!
Finally, the little madman led everyone to find the way down the mountain, and they went all the way down the mountain and returned to the town!

In the mist, the moonlight casts a silver coat over this mysterious Gothic town.

The streets were quiet and people were asleep.

There was a ghost fog tonight, and someone went crazy. The town had a curfew and people stayed indoors. "Don't tell me this is the mountain you were talking about!"

Kayla was completely unable to hold it in any longer. She didn't know what to say when she went to see her tutor.

Tell the tutor that he is a fool and believed the words of a madman?
And then say they played with this lunatic all night and came back without finding anything?
Roland's expression was also extremely strange. The terrain around here was no different from that near the town at the foot of the mountain.

The surroundings were shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see far into the distance. For a moment, it was unclear whether this was on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain.

Roland thought this should be on the mountain.

Because he always walked up the mountain without taking any detours.

But everyone said that they took a detour down the mountain.

Now, the town at the foot of the mountain is right in front of us!

The terrain here is not right either. The terrain on the mountain is suitable for building castles, not small towns.

Roland couldn't tell.

'Am I crazy, or are they crazy?!'

Angel frowned and asked, "Kayla, is Bloodfang Town often covered by ghost fog?"

Kayla sighed helplessly and said, "It's Dal Town, Angel. Ghost fog often spreads here. However, it usually doesn't stay here for long. Only the fog on the mountain lasts longer."

Roland frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes slowly lit up.

"I understand, hahaha! I understand! Land is also skin!"

Roland pounded his fists on his hands and said to everyone, "This is not fog, this is skin! The skin of the town! Someone has pulled the skin of the town (fog) up the mountain. When he steals the skin, our skin will be stolen as well!

And now, we are standing on this misty ground! We are like the people in the painted skin, standing inside a skin! "

Look, what kind of crazy talk is this?
No one paid any attention to him, fearing he might be infected with the disease.

Everyone is consulting the mysterious master of the Black Abyss, 'Angel'.

Angel took some strange things and after looking at them, she said, "This is indeed Bloodfang Town."

Angel added confidently, "But the man who spread the madness has made some moves tonight. We have to catch him."

Kayla and the others showed solemn expressions.

The madness in the town was very strange. Many people were affected, and every time, they went crazy in large groups. Even high-level apprentices like him were not immune.

If this was caused by a mysterious phenomenon, then it would be easier to deal with, because not all mysterious phenomena are dangerous. For example, the madness of "You all don't have skin, you just haven't noticed!" is a kind of mysterious phenomenon that is not dangerous.

Therefore, Keira and others felt that if it was a mysterious phenomenon, things would be easy to deal with, but if the madness was caused by humans, it would be the most troublesome.

Being able to spread madness in the town silently, this person must be very powerful. After all, the White Fang has been searching for him for so long without finding any trace of him.

This person is probably a formal wizard of Twilight. Such weird things seem like something they could do.

As Brenda had said before, the White Fang understood people very well and often interacted with various wizards, but they did not understand the mystical.

They had never experienced anything like "suffering," and even in the Eastern Territory, few people had ever experienced such a dangerous and mysterious event. Those who had experienced it had basically died.

Therefore, Keira and her group used their own cognition to measure this matter. They believed that if madness was a mysterious phenomenon, it would not be scary. On the contrary, wizards were scarier than mysteries, at least Twilight wizards were scarier than mysteries.

Based on this point of view, they measured the strength of their team.

Angel is very strong, very strong, and has many treasures in his hands.

At least Kayla has some rare items in her hands.

Two high-level apprentices, plus a dozen or so mid-level and low-level apprentices, could easily take on a would-be wizard. They could even give a fight to someone who had just entered the wizarding realm.

But if that guy's strength surpassed that of the mentor, who was a mid-level wizard, and was about to enter the late stage, a wizard who had just entered the early stage of the first stage would probably have a hard time fighting a group of elite apprentices. But once they entered the mid-level of the first stage, things would be beyond the ability of a dozen or so people to handle.

If the enemy is of this level, they will be completely powerless to fight back.

But if you're just exploring.
Roland listened to their discussion for a while and couldn't help but remind them, "Everyone, this incident wasn't caused by just one person. Whether you believe me or not, something is amiss here."

He showed everyone the compass in his hand that was used to measure pollution levels.

The pollution degree is:?
Because the pointer on it was spinning wildly.

Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly.

Kayla took the compass from Roland's hand, and her expression became very interesting.

The other members of the White Fang Society started arguing, and some said they had a strange intuition - palpitations. They felt that there was great danger.

Moreover, it seemed that this town was a bit strange. If it was just a mysterious phenomenon, it would be easy to deal with. If it was just a wizard, it wouldn't be that complicated. But if it was a twilight wizard who had become one with the mystery, things would be a bit difficult to deal with.

These people felt that something was amiss with the town today. They should abandon the investigation immediately. It would be best to ask the instructor to handle the matter, or suggest that the instructor summon the official wizards of the academy to handle the matter.

Some people disagreed. They said the instructor had sent everyone out to investigate the matter, but now they hadn't found any clues and had just ended the investigation so hastily. In the instructor's eyes, they were deserters. There would be no good consequences.

Roland was also very hesitant.

Lord Dahl will not let me go until I find valuable information.

He wasn't sure if he would be able to get his skin back in a few days.

Not being able to get the skin back is no big deal. He is afraid that in his current condition, he won’t be able to hold on for a few more days.

When I came out of the wizard tower today, I started bleeding profusely all over my body, and it was showing signs of infection. If it had continued for a while, my whole body would have been festered and I would have died.

Kayla looked at Angel, the backbone of the team, and said, "What do you think?"

Angel sneered and said, "Dal is an alchemist who studies the element of earth. He can't accomplish anything. If you want to find other wizards to handle it, who can you find? Are you going to find the Twilight Wizard or our people from the Black Abyss?

If those guys discover the mysterious phenomenon here, they will definitely seize this place. Then your town of Dahl will have to change its name, Dahl will die, and the rest of you, haha, the best fate is to be sold as slaves."

Although Angel's words were unpleasant to hear, they touched everyone's heart.

Although Angel is also a Black Abyss wizard, she is Keira's best friend and is very loyal.

The most important thing is that since the White Fang wizards arrived in the Black Abyss, people like Angel have had increasingly poor relationships with their colleagues and professors. They can be bribed by the White Fang.

Angel said slowly, "The most orthodox Black Abyss wizard is standing right here. I came here today to represent the Black Abyss Academy and help you deal with things here!"

She smiled and said to everyone, "Don't be afraid. The pollution level here is indeed high, but not as terrible as you imagine. It was caused by a Twilight apprentice. He stole a failed man-made mystical object from the Twilight School and tried to advance to a full-fledged wizard here. He hasn't assimilated with the mystic yet, so it's no big deal. But if he waits for a while... Haha."

When everyone heard the mysterious object and the real wizard, they were immediately unsure. But Roland breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Angel's confident words. If the wizard hadn't yet merged with the mysterious Dao, it would be easy to say.

Kayla asked, "How strong are that experiment and that apprentice? Can you handle them?"

Everyone seemed to trust Angel very much. After Kayla spoke, everyone looked at her.

Angel raised two fingers with disdain, gestured, and said, "It's a piece of cake! It's a piece of cake, understand?"

As she spoke, she waved her hand and said, "Follow me!"

But after taking just two steps, she stopped again and looked at Roland: "Where do you think we should go?"

Roland looked at Angel with a look that asked, "Are you really reliable?"

Angel's face darkened and he said, "Senior, I'm just testing you. Don't be so ignorant!"

Roland stretched out his hand and pointed towards the misty theater in the distance.

Angel raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go!"

On the way, Roland looked at the buildings he passed by and the people he occasionally met on the road who were talking to Kayla and the others, and his eyes gradually became very interesting.

It's raining drop by drop.
