I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 162: Green Lake Manor, the witch cried out for mourning!
Roland said, "First, take care of things in the south and get the Rainbow Disease under control. Without you here, the lords probably won't listen to the scholars' nonsense. Next, you will continue to push this matter forward in the name of White and King Amir. I'll take care of any problems."

With Lord Roland's words, the Baron felt relieved.

He said to Roland, "Sir, this plague has delayed this year's autumn harvest. The kingdom is now plagued by both famine and plague. Citizens in the royal city who can escape have all fled to the countryside. Furthermore, the rainbow disease has recently become rampant in the royal city. Therefore, the king may no longer be in the royal city. If you want to find the king, it would be best to visit Green Lake Manor first."

Now that Rainbow Disease is so serious, the only city in the kingdom has the most people and the largest flow of people. It would be a miracle if Rainbow Disease didn't exist there.

In small states like these, the kings didn't have permanent palaces. They simply traveled around, inspecting their territories and occasionally serving as chief justice.

Now, the kingdom's only city has been ravaged by disaster, and he probably won't stay there.

Green Lake Manor sounded like a great place. The kingdom was plagued by disasters every few years, so there wasn't the manpower or financial resources to build a grand castle or manor.

So, this was built for him at the expense of Alfonso's father, the master of the white chess tower.

Roland took out a map and asked the baron to help him look at it, and he found out the location of Green Lake Manor.

He also asked about the 'Gem Basin', which was not listed on the map.

The baron smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, the Amir Kingdom is so small, there is no such thing as a basin."

Roland was very confused and asked, "What about the gem basin? Is there a place called that?"

The baron said, "Sir, your map is more accurate than ours. All the landmarks are marked on it. But as for the 'Gem Basin,' there are rumors among scholars."

The baron pointed to the small royal city on the map and said, "Many scholars say that the royal city is built like an alchemical gem basin filled with treasure."

Roland's pupils shrank. The walls of the small royal city drawn on the map really did look like a small basin.

Roland called Amber over from a nearby location and asked, "Where is the Gem Basin?"

Amber leaned over and pointed at the small royal city on the map, saying, "Here, isn't that the picture of a basin?"

No wonder Amber had to go to the king.

She would ring bells and go crazy in the city.

Roland suddenly had a very bad feeling.

'The most densely populated area of ​​Gem and Crystal.'

The more Roland thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out on his head.

That’s not a treasure pot, that’s the chess and card room of the Crystal Princesses!
I just played mahjong with the three servants of God, so I can’t go to any chess and card room again.

Not only can I not go, I can't let that little fool Amber go either.

Neither she nor Augustus had any idea about this matter, so it would be useless for her to go.

She didn't even understand the spell she created herself. And she still claimed to be invincible!

Roland felt that he should deal with all those strange objects on the way and have more self-defense items.

But then I thought, what's the point of preparing for this? I might as well just run away!

Roland made up his mind that he must not go to the royal city.

Next, he took Amber to Green Lake Manor to find the king, postpone the conscription order, and release the ravens.

Then, I'll talk to the king and the court magician, Lord Ives, and hire him out for a little money. And then I'll give Amber an official position in the court, which will be worthy of Grandpa Augustus' magic.

Afterwards, I would wait for the wizards to arrive and explain the rainbow disease to them. I would leave this mysterious anomaly to the elders of the school.

Then, you will inherit the territory!

I have already brought so many wizarding masters to support Alfonso, there is no reason for him to hold me back and not let me leave, right?

That day, Roland put away the ghost fog and borrowed a horse for Amber from the baron.

As they left the town, Roland saw the Baron's soldiers working as corpse collectors. As they were collecting a body, the mother of the deceased rushed out and threw herself on the corpse, wailing loudly.

The old woman was the only one left in the family, and she begged the corpse collectors to take her away with them.

The soldiers who were responsible for collecting the bodies, and the old woman, were also neighbors from the village, and their families had also died. For a moment, they could not help but cry together.

In the end, everyone snatched away the body, and the old woman seemed to have lost her soul.

Neither the corpse collector nor the old woman followed the Crystal Princess Disease prevention regulations. Both the new and old regulations forbid such contact.

But what can be done?

Scenes like this happen all the time, everywhere. Loopholes like the old woman's appear everywhere and are impossible to eliminate.

As long as this rainbow lasts, things like this will never end.

Amber looked there for a long time, and her heart became more and more determined.

Roland also watched silently for a long time.

They all violated the rules and saw the rainbow reflected on the corpse.

If we continue like this, I'm afraid there will be no end to it.

When leaving, Roland followed the corpse collectors to the thousand-man pit near the cemetery, and used the Styx Bible to pray for everyone's salvation, sending the dead on their way so that they would not have to wander around in confusion in the human world and would go to the Styx to reincarnate as soon as possible.

Afterwards, the two of them rode at full speed towards Green Lake Manor.

Three days later.
King's Forest outside Green Lake Manor.

Two bursts of horse hooves rang out along the forest path. They seemed to have seen some hunters gathering herbs in the woods ahead, so they slowed down their horses.

It's been raining and snowing for the past couple of days. I think the snow will melt in a few days. Already on the forest trail, I can see some unusual, cold-resistant vegetation. If you keep an eye out, you might even be able to pick the mysterious "snowcap mushroom."

Each of these mushrooms is worth one magic stone! Every winter, lords from all over the country would send people to collect them.

If a citizen presents a snow-capped mushroom, the lord will be so happy that he can reward them with more than ten silver deer!

Especially near the Green Lake Manor, there was an abundance of magic grass. Furthermore, King Alfonso was a soft-hearted man who did not severely punish those who poached in his forests. This led to frequent people sneaking in to make a fortune.

However, the group of hunters next to the path was a bit too much.

Even Roland couldn't stand it anymore.

These hunters weren't collecting herbs or poaching, they were cutting down trees!
If they had cut down trees in the woods, it would have been fine, but they had to cut down trees on the path.

Looking at the situation, if he had two more axes, the tree would have fallen on the road.

really!

With a crack, the big tree fell onto the road, blocking it.

Then the hunters picked up their axes, ran to the fallen tree and started chopping at it.

"Burn, burn! Burn it and it will be fine, burn it and it will be fine!"

A hunter suddenly raised his head, looked at Roland with red eyes, and said, "I'm not lying to you, seriously, just burn it!"

The hunter's skin was white and tender, and he looked very healthy. His eyes were like sapphires, emitting a magical glow.

——A mid-level wizard apprentice!
Roland was slightly startled. Before he saw the man's eyes, he hadn't sensed a single trace of magical energy from him.

He looked at the other three hunters' eyes, which also shone with magical brilliance. Although not as strong as that man, they were also low-level apprentices.

There was a creaking sound of footsteps in the woods, and it was a few hunters again.

Looking around, they saw that they were surrounded.

Some of these people were holding torches, carrying firewood, and some were even carrying kerosene.

They walked over without saying a word, and seeing Roland and the other man staying there obediently, some of them walked over to the fallen tree and started to help.

Amber swallowed and said, "It's over, teacher, we've run into the Comb Army."

Roland was watching the group of lunatics going crazy with curiosity. After hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "What is the Comb Army?"

Amber said, "They are the rebels in the north. They followed Lord Comb in a rebellion. They caught and burned anyone they saw, saying that burning them would bring good fortune. Let's not talk about this for now, teacher, since you can heal illnesses. Can you fly? Take Amber with you. Combs are unkillable. They are invulnerable to weapons."

Before she could finish her words, Amber saw Roland take out his wand and point it at the leader of the Comb Army, who was chopping down trees. The man began to melt like wax. Amber opened her mouth wide, wanting to ask what kind of magic this was. At this moment, she heard Roland exclaim, "Huh?" and he straightened up in surprise.

The skin and flesh of the Comb Army leader were melting away, but he seemed to feel no pain and continued to chop the tree with a "bang, bang, bang" sound.

In just one glance, the man's skin melted away, revealing the muscles underneath. The muscles were crystal clear and emitted a colorful luster in the sunlight.

It turned out to be a living crystal man!

Amber was horrified: "It's the Crystal Princess! It turns out that the Comb Army is the Holy Spirit of the Crystal Princess!"

Many hunters turned their heads in unison, looked at Amber, and said, "Okay, you go first. You will be blessed after the burning is finished."

Amber looked over there and was immediately frightened.

The hunters ignored Roland's movements and continued chopping at the tree. They seemed to possess boundless strength, and in a matter of moments, they had split the tree into a cylinder.

Three of the hunters reached out and lifted up the massive wooden pillar, thicker than a man, and set it there. It looked like a burning stake.

Several other hunters walked over, threw firewood and other things into the pile, then picked up ropes and kerosene and called Amber over.

The remaining few went to the woods on their own. Some were carrying trees, and some were chopping firewood.

The group of people were busy without saying a word, as if they were treating Amber and Roland like sheep.

The crystal leader waved to Amber again: "Come on, you are blessed."

Amber was cold all over and trembling with fear. She looked at Teacher Roland, but saw him stroking his chin in deep thought.

He blurted out: "Can burning oneself lead to immortality? It's also a great path."

Amber's eyes went dark when she heard this. It's over, the teacher has gone crazy too!
At this moment, Amber suddenly felt someone pulling her hard, and then she heard the sound of a snake or toad swallowing. Then the scene in front of her changed, and she appeared in a foggy hunter's cabin.

Just as she was wondering where this was, Firefox appeared beside her.

Then, within eight or nine seconds, she heard another vomiting sound, and then the scene in front of her changed again, and then she squatted on the ground.

"Ouch~~"

Amber, with her butt sticking out, looked at Teacher Roland beside her with tears in her eyes. She saw him standing there, making runes with his hands, gazing into the depths of the forest, muttering something to himself.

At this moment, a burst of desperate cries and wails were heard from the distant woods: "No, no! Spare me, spare me!"

There seemed to be a few people running wildly in the woods. I don’t know what they saw, but they no longer had the arrogant look they had just had, and were crying miserably.

Then, Amber heard three consecutive "bang, bang, bang" sounds coming from the distant woods, and then those people became silent.

She stared blankly at Teacher Roland, only to see the seal in his hand change. Then, a whooshing sound could be heard from within the forest. Then, a square hammer burning with a faint blue flame flew over.

The square hammer was as big as a man, but when it flew in front of him, it became the size of a palm.

Amber opened her mouth wide and asked, "Teacher, what is this strange thing?"

Over the past two days, Roland had been playing with those strange objects on the road. All the flowers, plants, and beasts along the way suffered and fell into the stomachs of the two men.

At first, when Amber asked, Roland was too lazy to explain to her. Later, Roland couldn't stand Amber's pestering anymore and gave her some books.

She could actually understand it.

Not only could she read, she also knew many Buddhist scriptures, runes, and even spells.

This little wild wizard can be considered to come from a scholarly family and has inherited a lot from his grandfather and father.

Roland didn't know what this strange object was, and he didn't even remember whose bag he had "picked" it from - perhaps only the goddess Heraka knew.

He asked Amber to stop making noise, put away the strange object, and walked to the front.

Amber took out a piece of sacrificial bread and ate it while following Roland to the front to watch the excitement.

The large wooden pillar in front, originally held by the Comb Army, had collapsed, and the Comb Army soldiers who had been supporting it had turned into a pile of crystal debris.

It seemed that these people were not killed by hammers, but were blown to pieces by some kind of sound waves.

With one shout, these people were shattered like glass.

Roland walked over and swung his hammer, and then the crystal residues all burned with blue flames.

Under the burning of this flame, it slowly melted like ice, and eventually nothing was left.

Roland lengthened the hammer and scraped the debris for a while, then shook his head and sighed, "I thought that if I got sick and burned, I would become a Crystal Immortal."

amber:"???"

Roland continued, "These damn Holy Spirits are just a bunch of goblins. They can't even use magic."

Amber blinked and asked, "Immortal? Mountain spirit? Teacher, what do these words mean?"

Roland took out a piece of sacrificial cake, took a bite, and said, "Immortals are gods. Demons are monsters."

He used a spell to remove the large wooden pillar blocking the road, then summoned two horses again and rode on them with Amber.

Then, as Roland led Amber towards Green Lake Manor, he explained his twisted logic to her on the way: "Other demons cultivate to become humans first, and then become immortals. But they did the opposite and became monsters, wasting their beautiful bodies."

Soon, the two saw a magnificent manor castle in the distance. When they walked in, they found that there was a circle of trees forming a wall outside. There was no guard in front of the iron gate. The gate was open.

This manor castle is used for vacations and has no stone walls. All financial resources have been invested in the castle's beauty.

Roland frowned and led Amber into the manor, arriving at the foot of the castle. Then his eyes went dark.

There were some disorderly soldiers under the castle, not many in number, only about a hundred or eighty.

The beautiful scenery outside the castle had been burned to ashes by the hundred or eighty Comb Army soldiers. In the melting snow, there were traces of dried, frozen blood and what looked like charred corpses.

There were many corpses and a foul stench.

In addition to corpses, there are also broken crystals.

A fierce battle took place here, and the knights were eventually defeated and retreated to the castle.

The windows and balconies above the castle were filled with nobles, ministers, knights, and maids. Among them was a handsome young man wearing a crown, who was being pulled and cried by the knights on the balcony.

There were also guards at the top of the castle, but no one dared to intervene in the chaos outside.

In front of the gate, a Comb Soldier wearing a gorgeous archmage robe was standing on a high platform with his back to the castle, announcing something loudly to the people below.

A group of comb soldiers surrounded the stage, and at the stake in the center was a beautiful woman - she also wore a crown.

There were some Comb Army soldiers in the distance, burning people and trees.

The people were burned and turned into crystal people.

The tree was burned and turned into a crystal tree.

A gorgeous rainbow hung in the sky, and the walls of the castle had begun to crystallize.

Roland ate a Fire Teng root and said to Amber, "I'll have my men take you to the castle later. Tell those useless court wizards that the Black Abyss School of the White Council has sent two 'Night Watchers' from the Snake Tower, one male and one female."

There will be some trouble after the two of us take the queen away from them, so ask them to cooperate.

To escape, the witch will be making a mournful cry, telling everyone to stay away from the balcony and cover their ears so they don't hear any noise."

Amber turned around in confusion, wanting to ask Teacher Roland where he came from. She also wanted to ask if the other witch from the Snake Tower was referring to her, Amber.
As a result, when he turned around and saw Roland's back, he was almost scared to tears.

There was a person lying behind him.

The woman had disheveled hair and was dressed in red human skin. She lay motionless behind Roland, her hair dripping with water, and her clothes also soaked with blood.

Amber covered her mouth and cried softly: "Teacher, teacher"

"Don't make a sound!"

Roland waved his hand, and then seven ghosts carried the sedan chair, covered Amber's mouth, and carried her to the castle.

Then he looked around for a long time and couldn't help scratching his head: "Hey, where is my bride?"
