I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 138 You are mine! 5K
The young wizard came to Catherine, performed the wizard salute respectfully, and then handed a letter to her without saying a word.

Catherine's frown deepened, as if she had something to do yesterday and didn't watch the live broadcast.

She glanced at the envelope suspiciously and found it was a letter from Lord Dahl. After opening it and reading it, her expression gradually changed. When she read the last part, she was even more shocked.

After a moment, she looked at Roland with a complicated expression, feeling a bit scared but also a bit impressed.

What's with this guy? Does he attract that kind of thing? Why does he win prizes every day? It's either a ballet ghost or a tree shepherd.

This time I went to the black market and won a jackpot, I got a magical skin!
Twilight wizards have been searching for the god skin for years.

I don't know why that Twilight Apprentice had set his sights on White Fang Town these days, but he wandered over there. Just as he was about to make a big move and leave, he was spotted by Roland.

In the letter, Dahl said that he would remember the friendship of Catherine and her group, and hinted that he would stand on Catherine's side in the future.

But Catherine didn't pay attention to this matter. She repeatedly checked the content about the Human Skin Town and felt terrified.

She now wished she could tie Roland up and stop him from wandering around, lest he die outside one day without anyone knowing.

Well, of course, I'm not concerned about this stinky man. I want to study this guy, to observe him!

Seeing that Catherine had almost finished reading, Roland said, "Lilith told me that the Twilight Wizards might be making some moves recently. They are paying attention to the purification of the forbidden areas of the major schools. The Twilight Wizards' apprentices may participate in this trial."

Catherine's eyelids twitched.

Twilight wizards are like flies, they will fly wherever there is something strange going on. Even if there is no problem in the forbidden area, they will cause trouble if they go there.

If Roland, the magnet, goes to this trial, he might encounter another big problem!

Even if you don't meet him, the nature of the trial has changed.

If the original College Cup was a battle of hothouse flowers, then now it was a battle of the devils of purgatory. There were no rules, winner takes all, losers were sacrifices.

Catherine didn't know Roland's thoughts yet. She assumed that Roland probably wouldn't go - given his personality, he definitely wouldn't go.

Picking up Dahl's letter, Catherine looked at it again, then rubbed her forehead and said, "I roughly understand what you mean. It's better if you don't go. You're always in trouble wherever you go. It's better not to go."

Roland said nothing.

Catherine thought Roland was concerned about her previous promise to him, so she comforted him, "This time, the College Cup will most likely be disrupted by the Twilight Wizards. I won't force you to go. Besides, the incident in Dahl Town is enough to prove your ability. I think the instructor won't embarrass me like that again."

As for my previous promise, I will fulfill it.

I'll give you those two bottles of advancement potions. I recently tweaked the formula to increase the effectiveness by 7%. Although you have elemental aptitude, this only allows you to advance to Advanced Apprentice, not to full-fledged wizard. Even without the potions, you should have a % chance of advancing to Advanced Apprentice.

Furthermore, your will is very strong, which will invisibly increase your chances of advancing. After taking my two bottles of potion, you should have a 60-70% chance of success. You won't have to go to the Forbidden Forest to find the medicine."

Catherine really thinks highly of Roland!

Without external help, there is no way he can break through the bottleneck!
When he was promoted to an intermediate apprentice, the probability of promotion was only 3%!

It is even more difficult to advance to an advanced apprentice. If he does not take the potion, the possibility of his advancement is probably 0%!

His steadfast Dao heart gave him a 5% chance of a miracle. If he didn't go to the Forbidden Forest and only took the two potions Catherine had devised, he'd have a % chance of breaking through the bottleneck, at best!

If Roland had not met Haywood, he would have chosen a conservative route this time because of the 5% certainty.

But Haywood's life experience taught Roland a lesson learned through blood.

This group of wizards who came from Muggles and real mortals are truly going against the will of heaven!
They must fight for their lives to create that glimmer of possibility, change their class, and step onto the steps ahead!
Going to the forbidden area would increase his chances of winning by 20%. For this 20% chance, Roland had to fight for his life.

Otherwise he won't be willing.

God has given him a chance and a road that will eventually lead him to the truth. He will not give up halfway.

Seeing that Roland didn't say anything for a long time, Catherine thought he had tacitly agreed to her proposal.

Catherine knew that Roland was a man who would not do anything without a profit. If she had him working for her for so long, she must have given him something in return.

If the benefits I give him are not enough, he will definitely not be satisfied.

Catherine then said, "I promised you before that I would give you a territory after this incident. After a while, I will have dealt with the affairs of the White Queen and Alexandra. Then, I will allocate a territory for you within the family."
If you are willing to stay, you can become my retainer. Although you may only be a high apprentice and unable to enter the real wizarding world, you can spend your old age in peace under my banner.

Catherine's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Wizards and mortals were two different kinds of people. She was destined to be immortal, while Roland's life span was only a hundred years.

There is destined to be only such a short story between him and me.

From now on, I will move towards eternity step by step. Looking back, Roland has turned into a speck of yellow earth.

It's better to part ways earlier
Roland and I are not on the same level.

After a pause, she continued, "Of course, if you don't want to stay, I can use my connections to find you a place in the Muggle Kingdom that has nothing to do with the Black Abyss, so you can live in peace and quiet, away from trouble."
Well, if this is the arrangement, you can leave earlier. You don't have to worry about the college cup. "

She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Of course, I will send you away, but our relationship cannot end so soon. It may take ten or eight years. This will affect your ability to get married and have children, but I will make up for it in other ways."

Roland waited for Lady Catherine to finish her words, then opened his mouth and said, "Catherine, don't rush to arrange matters concerning the territory. Wait until I return from the forbidden area."

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows in annoyance and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You've already got enough for the promotion, why are you still going?"

After a pause, she suddenly realized that Roland had gone there for her, so she frowned and said, "I told you, the scandal and the White Queen's affairs have nothing to do with you anymore. The matter of Human Skin Town is quite serious. I will also find a way to deal with you giving up the agreement and leaving the family."

Roland had originally intended to go to the forbidden area primarily for advancement, but now that the conversation had come to this, he decided to open up the conversation.

Roland raised his head and straightened his body. Under the sunstone in the dome, his shadow was like a giant, covering the 'small' woman on the table and chair.

"Catherine, you can't handle this. You've always had too many illusions about the White Queen, and your plans are too naive. Don't say she doesn't know who you are. Even if she did, you're not the same person anymore!"
You don't have the ability to make her respect you!
She won't respect your choice!
But you're right about one thing, and that's something only I can handle."

He looked down at the woman in front of him and said, "I will go to the forbidden area and kill all the 'excellent unmarried' new generation. I will make sure that the White Queen will never have another hope, and she will never have another chance - you are my woman!"

With a loud bang, a thunder exploded in the female boss's head.

She stared blankly at the man who claimed her as his own and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Don't worry about what I say. Mind your own business. I'll go to the forbidden area and take what's mine."

Roland's words were ambiguous. He threw them aside, flicked his sleeves and left the flower garden.

Catherine's body shook slightly. She understood. Roland was going to the forbidden area to take his things, and she was one of those things.

That man's private property.

She slammed the table, her face flushed and pale with rage. Her mind was in a turmoil, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

All along, your plans have been too soft, and you've had too many illusions about your mentor. This isn't two hundred years ago—even if you told her who you are, she wouldn't give you the respect you deserve.

Roland tossed his belongings into the storage room and headed to the academy. He submitted the letter of commendation in exchange for 50 credits, and then submitted his report.

The janitor in charge of the mission announcements looked at the report with a look of excitement. He explained that this was no ordinary investigation mission. Furthermore, Roland wasn't completing an investigation; he was handling an anomaly.

This mission should be upgraded, and the school should also have other rewards, but it probably requires some procedures. So Roland will have to wait for a while. Currently, they can only give 50 credits.

Including the credits from his Forest Patrol, Roland now had over sixty credits. He exchanged all of them for potions according to the recipe for Shadow Roar. He then spent a considerable amount of magic stones and had people who were exchanging items exchange some for him using their credits.

The potions he exchanged for were all common potions, but due to their rarity, they were expensive. Roland spent over three hundred magic stones to get others to help him exchange the remaining potions.

During his trip to Human Skin Town, he had collected over two thousand pieces of magic stones. The White Fang apprentice's storage bag also contained a lot of other items.

So he is rich now and doesn't care about the more than 300 magic stones.

After exchanging them, I had about 70 to 80 percent of the potion recipe. There were still some potions in the garden at home that could be used. All together, I should have about 80 to 90 percent.

The remaining potions are harder to find, but they are all available in the forbidden areas of the trial.

After leaving the mission release area, Roland went to the cafeteria to eat and learned that Her Royal Highness Princess Baiqi had already moved into a high tower and would be moving there soon.

The White Queen seemed to be suspicious of something and had assigned Catherine a number of ladies-in-waiting to keep her under strict supervision, to prevent any Mudbloods from having secret meetings with her goddaughter. After hearing this, Roland's anger soared.

"Are you going to move out in the next few days?"

Roland felt inexplicably angry.

He was still angry with Catherine, and the two of them were in a cold war after their quarrel. But he didn't want this cold war to continue.

He's going to have a hot fight tonight.

He attended a class and then spent the evening in the library, searching through some literature on ghost training. Among them were some records about the ghost workers at Black Abyss Academy, which made Roland's eyes light up slightly.

In the past, the academy not only had ghost janitors, but also ghost professors. Most of them knew some magic.

However, because they are all pure evil spirits, vengeful spirits, or even banshees, evil spirits often hurt people, evil spirits possess people, etc., so there are no such employees in the New Black Abyss Academy.

Roland suspected that most of them were hanging out with Lilith now.

"By the way, the spell hasn't been given to her yet."

Roland found a piece of parchment and wrote the spell on it.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Do you know how to make the ghost servants use magic? Can you ask the ghost janitors for me?"

A moment later, a text appeared on the parchment: 300 magic stones (crossed out) 500 magic stones!

The corners of Roland's mouth twitched slightly.

Speaking of which, the two of them went into a dungeon together, but Lilith left without picking up any equipment. As a result, all the magic stones and other items went to Roland for free.

This demon has to take care of a bunch of mysterious creatures and is extremely poor.

After thinking for a moment, Roland looked at the library. It was already past nine in the evening. Lately, there were fewer people in the academy after dark.

There was hardly anyone in the library.

He put five medium-grade magic stones into a small bag and hid it in a hidden corner of a bookshelf.

Then he left a few words and left the library.

Ten minutes later, a furtive female apprentice walked into the library. She looked like she was from the student union.

She counted the bookshelves several times and came to one, but after searching for a long time she found nothing.

She took out a piece of parchment in great annoyance and wrote something on it.

The response was almost instantaneous: "Idiot! How can you even count wrong? It's on the bookshelf behind you!"
The female apprentice blushed slightly, went to the bookshelf at the back, and indeed found a small bag.

When she saw the five medium-grade magic stones inside, her eyes lit up.

Just then, a big hand patted her shoulder.

The female apprentice was startled and turned around to see a smiling face that deserved a beating.

It was Roland.

"Miss Angel?" Roland said with a strange look on his face, "Is this your only identity?"

"Of course not that name, idiot!"

Lilith slapped Roland's hand away and looked around cautiously. "If you have anything to say, come on. We've only met once at the Magic Chess Club. We're not that familiar!"

Roland opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He hadn't expected this guy to actually be wandering around the academy under the guise of an apprentice.

"Beautiful lady, may I ask your name? Could you tell me about the person who met you by chance in the library and took the initiative to talk to you?" Roland bowed slightly.

Lilith hesitated for a moment and said, "Angel."

Roland: "."

Lilith said impatiently, "Isn't it okay to have the same name?! Why are you looking at me like that? There are many people with that name! In our tower, there are two. No, there was another one recently, so there are three now!"

She proudly counted on her fingers and said, "So it was another Angel who died last time."

Roland was speechless at Miss Lilith's stupid words.

However, although she was a fool, she was able to use her skills to perfection.

Concealment, disguise, and charm.

Furthermore, her charms were mystical. No matter how outrageous her words were, people would find them plausible. Even if her human form bore a striking resemblance to that of a demon, people would overlook it.

She wandered around the academy all day long, but a powerful official wizard like Yingtao didn't even know that Lilith was Angel.

However, there are still powerful wizards in the academy who can see through her identity, such as those senior old Black Abyss.

Moreover, although she often changes her identity and appearance, her personality and habits can be recognized by those who are very familiar with her.

However, the few big guys who recognized her and were not affected by the mystery were secretly covering for her.

Roland asked, "Are you short of money recently?"

Lilith: "It's up to you."

Roland pulled her to a seat and said, "Alright, Senior Lilith, we know each other now. I'm a junior who admires you and would like to make some deals with you."

Lilith immediately pulled Roland's hand away and looked at him like he was trash: "Get away, you filthy bastard. Just because I'm a succubus, you have evil intentions. I don't do that kind of service!"

Even though I'm short of money, I won't touch your disgusting thing with my feet! I won't whip you with a whip either!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Roland suddenly understood and shook his head speechlessly. He said seriously, "Your concealment magic is very powerful. I want to learn it."

Only then did Lilith realize that this guy had this in mind.

As he spoke, Roland placed five more medium-grade magic stones on the table.

Lilith opened her mouth wide, then greedily gestured the number ten: "One thousand magic stones."

Roland rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm a bank?"

He really wanted to support Lilith in disguise and was planning to trade some magic that was not available in the academy.

In addition to magic stones, he also has some low-quality rare items to sell.

But he planned to pay Wallace back. Wallace and his senior had been struggling financially lately. The thousand-plus magic stones would give Wallace some cash and would also be enough for his senior for a while.

Although the senior sister had the potion, there were too many eyes on her, so she didn't dare to give it to others. If Wallace let the potion out, people would suspect that the Holy Grail was still in her hands.

Among the three, only Roland always had enough money.

Lilith muttered, "Damn merchants, they don't carry cash anymore these days."

Roland asked, "What did you say?"

Lilith looked at Roland, a hungry glint in her eyes. She slowly approached and said, "It's okay if you don't have money. Your magic power is very special, and your vitality is also very strong. 500ml is equivalent to 500 magic stones."

Roland sat up straight, moving away from the guy. He cursed in his heart: "I treat you as a friend, and you want to do this to me? And 500ml, are you trying to kill me? Are you human?"
