I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 160: If you cover your eyes when running, you won’t get sick!

Roland sat in the chair at the baron's desk and listened to his report.

The Baron presented every detail on a tray.

The Baron is now both happy and worried.

The good news is that someone finally came.

What's worrying is that the White Wizards had previously sent a talking letter to the King. The letter was filled with discontent and harshly reprimanded the King. They believed the epidemic wasn't under control because the King was a figurehead and had failed to properly manage the people of the White Council.

Now, the wizards' envoy has arrived. If he finds any faults, no one will be happy.

After listening to the report, Roland's expression became even more strange.

Before, when Roland accepted the mission, he heard the white chess wizard in the crystal ball say it.

The White School of Thought believes that the Amir Kingdom's epidemic wasn't under control because the kingdom didn't follow the school's guidelines. Instead, it blindly followed the theories of folk witches, leading to the Crystal Princess's illness becoming even more severe.

So Roland was sent here to supervise and correct.

But from what he had seen and heard in the town, that was not the case. At least the Baron was not slacking off.

The Baron then said, "Your Excellency, you know that Crystal Princess Disease, like the Black Death, is a plague. It's a virus! It spreads through air, water, food, and other channels. Therefore, while we control the spread of the virus, we also implement isolation, cremation, and water purification."

After listening to this, Roland was secretly shocked.

Although the kingdom was small, the White wizards managed it well, and the scholars in the palace possessed excellent professional qualities.

Therefore, when it comes to controlling the plague, the Baron and the scholars he brought from the court did a very good job.

After a brief recounting, the Baron had a new mask and a gray coat brought to him. He said, "These are protective suits made by the court wizards according to the drawings given by Master Baiqi. They were also enchanted as requested."

This town has done a very standard job in controlling Crystal Princess disease.

But Crystal Princess disease is still spreading.

The entire town is almost wiped out.

Including the people the Baron brought this time, they are almost finished.

For everyone, Roland has become the only savior.

Roland thought to himself, "I'm afraid it's not really a plague. But why is that potion that's specifically designed to treat plagues so effective?!"

Judging from the compass, there was no mysterious existence in this town. And judging from various other circumstances, Crystal Princess Disease should be more like a plague, or a curse.

If Roland doesn't figure out what this thing is, she'll have to stay here and be a princess!
He had to first figure out what this illness was. If it was a plague, then the solution would be a plague solution. A curse was one thing, and a mysterious solution was something else still different.

If we try the Raven Society's method and the method the White Wizards gave to the Baron and his men separately and compare them, we may be able to determine what the Crystal Princess disease is.

Roland took out Amber's Raven Society medical journal from his space ring.

Amber has 37 medical journals in total! They are all written by members of the Raven Society.

There are a lot of things on it that look really crazy. Do I have to let people try it this way?
Roland's expression turned strange.

Roland asked, "I heard there's a 'Raven Society' in the Kingdom of Amir? They're also trying to cure 'Crystal Princess Disease'?"

The baron quickly replied, "There are no more! We have captured every wild wizard in the country, following the orders of the White Masters. They are now imprisoned in the kingdom's prisons."

Roland looked at Amber, but Amber said nothing and avoided Roland's gaze.

After entering the room, Amber stood beside Roland with her head down, not saying a word. She was trembling all over and didn't dare to look directly at the other people in the room.

A scholar nearby interjected, "These people from the Raven Society are wandering around everywhere. They don't take any protective measures when they come into contact with patients. They're simply walking sources of infection!"

The baron said angrily, "You know, I'm always traveling around, and I always run into these guys who come to me for advice. Do you know what they say to me?"

Roland asked, "What?"

The baron laughed and said, "They say that when you come into contact with a patient, you shouldn't wear anything, but should strip naked and blindfold yourself!"

"They also made us gather all the patients together and lock them in an airtight dark room. No one was allowed to take care of them. Even if someone died, we couldn't carry them out for cremation. They just left them in there to rot with the other patients!

They even made a sour cake called the 'Rainbow Goddess' offering cake, which they had patients wear around their necks, claiming they would receive the protection of the Rainbow Goddess. "My Lord, I do have some knowledge. There is no Rainbow Goddess in this world!"

The scholar nearby couldn't help but interject, "That bread is just an ordinary bread soaked in vinegar. It has no effect."

The baron continued, "Recently, a rumor has been circulating among the people that when an 'Amber Princess' rings the rainbow bell on the 'Gem Basin', the plague will end. And the illnesses of those locked up in the small dark room and tortured will also disappear. They're simply a bunch of cultists!"

The White Masters, the King, and the court wizards now all suspect that this disease was spread by this group of evil cultists!"

Amber blushed and dared not say a word as everyone talked. She was the last raven. She must not be captured before she saw the king.

Roland nodded and said, "Take me to see the patient."

The baron said excitedly: "My lord, my son is sick now. He is in the hut next door. I will take you there right away."

Soon, everyone arrived at the door of the hut.

Everyone was wearing masks and gray robes. The Baron also had two new sets in his hands, one for himself and one for Roland.

Roland waved his hand, telling everyone to wait. He first took out his compass and checked the pollution level. Then his expression turned strange.

The pollution level here is normal.

Touching his chin, Roland stretched out his hand and cast two spells, which landed on the baron and another scholar. Then he looked at the crystal ball.

The crystal ball displayed the anatomy of the two people. After observing them for a while, Roland discovered that there were some tiny crystals in the bodies of both people.

Then he took out a black cloth and handed it to the baron: "Take off your clothes and blindfold yourself."

Everyone: "???"

The baron asked cautiously, "Sir, what does this mean?"

Roland said coldly, "Don't you understand the common language?"

The baron shuddered, not daring to ask any more questions. He quickly took off his clothes and covered his eyes.

At the same time, Roland's spirit searched in the space ring, and then took out a few large cakes with a strong sour smell.

This pancake is very strange, like a big donut, with a hollow center. You just put it on your head and you can hang it around your neck.

Many scholars looked at the cake and felt that it looked very familiar, and they all showed extremely strange expressions.

Isn't this cake the 'sacrificial cake of the Rainbow Goddess' made by the wild wizards?

Roland put the cakes on the baron's head and looked at the other scholar: "Take the baron in."

The scholar hesitated for a moment and then led the baron into the house.

After the two entered the house, Roland looked at Amber and asked, "Why do you have to take off your clothes and blindfold yourself?"

The people around looked at Amber and then at Roland with extremely strange expressions, and some speculations arose in their hearts.

Amber hesitated for a moment and then said, "Crystal Princess Disease is a plague of light. As long as you don't see it, you won't get sick."

Everyone's faces looked extremely ugly.

really!

This little girl is Wizard Roland, a wild wizard he picked up on the road!

I don’t know what happened, but it seems that Wizard Roland believed the little girl’s nonsense!
Amber continued, "So, if you cover your eyes, you won't get sick. As for why you have to take off all your clothes, I don't know. It's written in my grandfather's notes, and everyone does it, but I haven't done it, and it's okay."

Roland stretched out his hand and asked, "Where are the notes?"

Amber rummaged through her bosom and pulled out a notebook. She flipped to a certain page and handed it to Roland.

Roland took a look and found that it was actually written in 'Bai Lunyu'!
This is a runic language commonly used by wizards, describing magic and elements. Ordinary apprentices cannot understand it. Only instructors and formal wizards can record things in this language.

There are people of this level in the secular world, but they are definitely great scholars.

After taking a look, Roland was speechless.

The general meaning of what is written above is that there are no clothing requirements, but you must wear a blindfold.

As a result, later generations translated it into 'no clothes allowed, but blindfolds are required'.

He then carefully flipped through the notebook again. After reading it, Roland's expression became even more strange. By this time, more than ten minutes had passed. Roland took out his crystal ball and looked at the two people. He found that the crystals in the baron's body had not changed, the same number. However, the crystals in the other scholar's body had increased slightly.

He chanted another spell, and then the crystal ball showed the Baron's perspective. From this perspective, Roland saw that the Baron's youngest son was rotting and covered in sores, but there was no crystal on his body.

Roland's expression was a little strange. He handed the crystal ball to Amber and asked, "Why are these people's skin like this? Is this Crystal Princess disease?"

Amber said, "Yes, that's how it happens in the early stages. Crystal Princess disease is a disease that transforms from the inside out. The crystallization starts with the flesh and blood, then the internal organs, bones, and skin. Only when the crystals grow onto the skin can the crystals be seen."

Roland frowned and asked, "Didn't you say this was the Plague of Light? These people don't have crystals on their skin, so how can they infect others?"

The scholars nearby were beginning to lose their composure. One of them interrupted, "It's a virus, sir. It's not something that's spread by light. The virus enters the body through the air, and then it infects the human body with Crystal Princess disease."

Amber said: "No, once the virus falls into the human body, it will not be infected with Crystal Princess disease. People are infected because the virus spreads into the air and is then seen by others - light is the only way for Crystal Princess disease to spread!"

Look, what kind of nonsense is this?
How can people see viruses?
Even Roland felt that this girl was crazy after hearing it.

I was crazy to believe her lies.

At this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in the crystal ball. It seemed that the scholar inside had lit a candle.

A tiny rainbow appeared in the candlelight, and soon Roland found that the compass in his hand moved suddenly.

Pollution degree: 367
Roland was horrified. He shouted towards the door, "Put out the fire!"

The scholar hastily extinguished the candle.

Pollution degree: 7
Roland stared at the compass needle for a long time. Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck his mind.

"I understand. I understand!"

"Hahahaha! I get it!"

"It's not a virus spreading at all! Because it's not a plague!"

"There's no Crystal Princess! Because it's not the crystal in the flesh that makes people sick!"

"It's a rainbow!"

"There's no such thing as Crystal Princess Syndrome. This is Rainbow Princess Syndrome!"

"Rainbows are the only way it can spread!"

"So Rainbow Disease is afraid of the dark!"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Even Amber was dumbfounded.

Amber yelled, "Teacher, stop talking nonsense, or you'll be arrested as a lunatic!"

Many scholars nodded, thinking to themselves: "Special Envoy, it's hard for us to explain if you do this."

Roland glanced at the scholars and said coldly, "I'm a special envoy. What I say is the White Queen's order! You don't need to understand logic. Just do what I say. Anyone who opposes me is a heretic!"

Many scholars: "."

Roland said, "Cover all the rooms. No light should be allowed."

Many scholars could only follow Roland's instructions.

Roland's heart was as confused as that of this group of scholars.

This is not a plague.

What happened here is a mystery that cannot be explained by science or even logic!

Roland looked at Amber again and asked, "What is that cake used for? Why do mild cases get cured after eating it?"

Amber hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Grandpa said that Crystal Princess doesn't like sour food."

Everyone: "???"

Roland picked up the notebook with a question mark on his face and flipped through it, then he hit Amber on the back of the head with anger.

"You are unlearned and unskillful! Go back and study the Analects carefully!"

It says 'Give something sour to patients with Crystal Princess Syndrome'.

Roland guessed that people with Crystal Princess syndrome had no appetite, unless it was something particularly sour. That was why Grandpa Augustus had invented the sour sacrificial cake.

As for why it is hung around the neck, many patients are already terminally ill, and people in many places are afraid of the Crystal Princess like a tiger. If they know someone is sick, they will not take care of them.

Besides, the house was dark, so if the cake was placed somewhere else, where would we find it?

Therefore, the wild wizards would hang the cakes around the patient's neck so that when he was hungry he could just lower his head and eat them.

Therefore, these weird contents are meant to encourage patients to eat more, rest more, and stay in the dark room to recuperate.

As long as mild patients follow the doctor's instructions and keep themselves away from light, they will slowly recover.

In order to cure the Crystal Princess's disease, the great wild wizard Grandpa 'August' coaxed and deceived everyone and tried every possible way.

Roland saw the image of his father Anthony in this grandfather, and his heart was filled with immense respect.

The Baron had come out at this time. Roland asked him to put on his clothes and then led everyone back to the office.

Roland asked, "Are there any powerful wizards in the Raven Society?"

Roland was worried about his conscription order.

The baron quickly replied, "Yes! There was a wizard. I sent ten men to catch him, but he injured three of us before we caught him!"

Roland's eyes twitched slightly, and he pressed the issue, "Ten great knights? Or high-ranking knights?"

"Ten militiamen," said the Baron.

Roland: "."

The baron said, "Your Excellency, in this small place of ours, there are no high-ranking knights. The strongest people here are Sir Buck and I. We are only one step away from becoming high-ranking knights, and our strength is evenly matched."

Roland glanced at the baron and rubbed his forehead in despair. He had thought the Raven Society had high-ranking apprentices, but now it seemed the strongest among them was only a low-ranking apprentice.

Moreover, it seems that the strength of the entire kingdom is quite weak. All the knights put together may not be as strong as the knights of a small territory in Valeria.

The baron continued, "However, my court wizard, Lord Ives, is a great magician. The White Lords once gave him the formula for the potion to cure Crystal Disease. All our potions are made by him and his students. It's just that herbs have become increasingly scarce lately."

Roland's eyes lit up slightly. This great magician must be a genuine high-level apprentice.

If I can really control the epidemic here, maybe I can discuss with the king and kidnap Lord Elvis!

Roland's mood brightened, and he asked the baron to call all his scholars and leaders.

There were less than ten in total. Roland took out a bottle of potion and asked everyone to dilute it with water to make a small bucket, and each person drank a large bowl.

Then he revised the Raven Society's plague control manual, including the section on corpse disposal.

If there is light near an infected body, a 'rainbow' will appear and infect others. Therefore, the body must not be burned.

But the corpse must never be left in the house to rot, otherwise it will lead to other plagues.

He wrote a plan for the Black Abyss wizards to deal with large numbers of corpses on the battlefield. They relied on a concoction of several simple herbs, mixed with common mundane materials, to bury the bodies.

This method prevented the spread of plague, and the corpses quickly degraded, returning to nature and the embrace of the goddess Heraclea, before journeying to the River Styx for reincarnation.

Afterwards, he handed the manual to the baron and asked them to strictly follow the instructions.

Everyone took a look at the manual, and then their eyes went dark.

The previous manual was insane enough, and this one is even more insane!

However, the Baron still arranged it.

They couldn't do anything about the wizard, fearing that Roland might go mad and kill him if he got upset.

Anyway, the other wizards from the White Council are almost here, and there are real supervisors among them. When this guy's boss shows up, we'll see how crazy he can get.
