I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 166: Transaction and Bad News

In fact, this belief is also popular among witches. They believe that when a person lies down to sleep, he will dream of seeing the shepherds of Heraclea and being taken away by them.

I don't know why wizards share the same superstitions as ordinary mortals, but they sleep very little. They typically sleep from 6:30 to 10:00. They wake up at 10:00 and light rushes to handle official business and other trivial matters. Then, around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m., they meditate, or take a second "morning nap" until dawn.

Roland, on the other hand, has never had this habit.

After checking at the bedside, Roland said, "Her Majesty the Queen is in good health."

He looked at the king beside him and said, "She's just a little weak, frightened. So it's not a relapse of her old illness. But there are some minor issues. First, not every illness requires a glass of Yaohuhua milk. From now on, unless you have a trauma or serious injury, don't drink this stuff. It's harmful to the brain."

Upon hearing this, several court wizards and scholars lowered their heads.

Many nobles in the room also lowered their heads and whispered to each other. They all had this habit, so they took note of the sutras of this "foreign monk".

Roland looked toward the bright balcony and said to everyone, "Don't let the Queen bask in the sun these days. Seal all the doors and windows. Keep no light in the house, and don't light any lamps. This applies not only to the Queen, but to everyone. Also, eat more vinegar and garlic."

Hearing this, everyone in the room showed a nervous look, and the king's face turned pale. He asked: "Scholar, could it be that the blood thirst disease has also become popular in the Amir Kingdom?"

Roland took the hot towel brought by the maid, wiped his hands, glanced at the king and the group of nobles, and said, "Whatever I say, you fools will do it."

Roland is about to start PUA again.

Faced with Roland's arrogance, the king's face looked very ugly, but he did not dare to show it.

In reality, although the Amir Kingdom was a tiny country the size of a fingernail, with an area less than half the size of a province in the empire, no matter how small the kingdom was, King Alfonso was still the ruler of a country.

Moreover, even if he was an illegitimate child, he was still the biological son of a certain tower master of the White Chess School. He was a second-generation rich man and had a very strong background in the wizarding world.

But he didn't dare to say much in front of this "super rich second generation".

Because in terms of seniority, he has to call Roland uncle.

Catherine is the cousin of the White Chess Tower Master and the aunt of this illegitimate child.

The Alexandra family is a noble family and was the royal family of the former dynasty of the wizarding world three hundred years ago.

Alexandra was indeed in decline, but even in the wizarding world, ordinary wizards didn't know the true situation of this family, let alone the kingdom in the secular world.

Therefore, although King Alfonso had a noble status, in the eyes of people in the upper world, he was just an illegitimate son who was disliked by the upper world and was sent by his father to be the mayor of a small village.

And Roland is the prince consort!
Alfonso naturally didn't know that the son-in-law in front of him was a guy who was just pretending to be rich. He also didn't know that his father was a faction that was firmly opposed to the existence of this son-in-law.

He thought that the fake Alexandra in front of him had a noble status. King Alfonso had also heard something about Alexandra's arrogance and arrogance, and knew that they were a group of dark wizards who would deal with you if they disagreed with them.

So he didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Roland by relying on his father's status.

At Black Abyss Academy, if Roland doesn't act tough enough, his life will be in danger.

Therefore, Roland has been practicing for a long time in Black Abyss Academy in terms of pretending to be cool, showing off, and pretending to be rich.

Therefore, he really pretended to be a great wizard aristocrat who spent money lavishly.

Just now, everyone heard from several court wizards that the noble great magician Elvis was pinned down in the house by this young master Roland and was violently scolded.

I knew it was almost my turn to be scolded.

Sure enough, Roland had no manners at all and gave her a severe PUA treatment.

When he spoke, everyone in the room pricked up their ears carefully, fearing that the sound of his breathing would be too loud and they would not be able to hear the oracle of this messenger from heaven.

The obedience test was almost done, and Roland, who had been secretly nervous, felt a little more confident.

Roland threw away the towel and said, "For the rest, please follow the arrangements made by my student Amber. I'm leaving tomorrow and don't have time to chat with you here."

After these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.

When they heard the first half of the sentence, everyone's eyes widened. They didn't expect that the little wild wizard would actually be favored by this powerful wizard.

What a lucky guy!

Amidst everyone's surprised and envious gazes, Amber couldn't help but puff out her chest, her face flushed with excitement. She looked as if to say, "See what I'm stepping on? A giant pile of dog shit!"

But when Roland finished saying "I'll be leaving soon", everyone present was dumbfounded.

What's going on with this Princess Syndrome and the Comb Army? The best people in the country gathered together, but were blocked in the castle by those hundred or so people and left to die!

What should we do as the great wizard leaves and the Comb Army comes to cause trouble again?
Everyone has heard that Bachelor Roland has helped the Kingdom of Amir and invited a group of wizards.

But everyone saw Roland killing everyone down there.

What wizard can compare to this wizard from the Snake Tower?

He alone is a wizarding group!

The king offered to host a banquet for Roland to thank him for saving the queen from the Comb Army, but Roland refused.

The king then said that he had a magic book that many court wizards had never understood, and hoped that Roland could help take a look at it.

Roland showed interest and went with the king to his study.

That magic book was actually very interesting. It was the handwritten notes of a formal wizard from a special school. It not only recorded some magic, but also some of the wizard's experiences and some potion recipes.

But Roland showed no interest.

He flipped through it for a while, then put it back on the bookshelf and looked at the king who was drinking tea on the sofa.

The king saw that Roland was not interested and was anxious. However, he was very reserved and did not show it. Instead, he invited Roland to have tea and asked for his advice on how to deal with the plague in the kingdom.

Roland sat down and said seriously, "Your Majesty, this is not a plague, but a mystery."

The king's face froze slightly. He had already had his doubts when he saw the crystal people. Now, this mysterious expert from the Black Abyss gave him such an answer. He had no reason to doubt it.

He smiled and said, "Master Roland, although the White School forbids those of us who are not pure-blooded from joining, I am also a scholar. And as the Council's agent in governing the kingdom in the secular world, I am also a member of the Council. So there is no need for us to be so polite. You can just call me Alfonso or Master."

Roland had long realized that Alfonso had magical powers, but he had concealed them in some way.

And that magic book is often read by people.

Alfonso's biological father forbade his illegitimate son from learning white magic, but he continued to study it secretly. Although his strength was not very good and he lacked practical experience, his realm was not low, and he was also an intermediate apprentice.

This Alfonso is only in his twenties this year, only three or four years older than Roland.

His father blocked his way to the truth, but he secretly taught himself and consulted the court wizard privately, moving towards the truth step by step.

Although he doesn't follow the White chess path, he is still a scholar. Compared to the Muggle king, he hopes to be a wizard king!
Roland smiled and said, "Alfonso, I do have to leave, but it's not that I'm determined to leave. It's just that my call has come. As an Alexandra, as the fiancé of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, and a wizard noble who will soon be canonized, I need to shoulder my responsibilities and set a good example."

Having said this, Roland showed a bit of helplessness.

The king's heart moved slightly.

What a bullshit example. If this were a fight between schools within the Council, the Black Abyss wizards would definitely be desperate to get into the battlefield. Given the strength of these Black Abyss wizards, they would surely be slaughtering everyone on the battlefield. For them, the battlefield was a place to earn military merit.

But this is a parliamentary war!
The opponent is the Twilight Council!

The King was half wizard after all, so he was quite knowledgeable about certain things. It was common knowledge that Black Abyss had defected because he was afraid of being completely taken advantage of by the Twilight Wizards.

If we talk about Old Black Abyss, he is the living devil that all Twilight wizards are in awe of.

But there aren't many old Dark Abysses left now, and most of them are new recruits. Therefore, the new Dark Abysses are very afraid of the Twilight Wizards and dare not challenge them.

The biggest wish of the Heiyuan people now is to recuperate and avoid trouble.

As for the Twilight wizards, they hated these traitors. Whenever Heiyuan went to the battlefield, he would be severely targeted by the Twilight Council.

Once you go, you will die and there will be no life.

No Black Abyss would want to go to a special battlefield like this with Twilight Wizards. This Alexandra certainly didn't want to go either. He probably wanted to leave the Alexandra family, become a white chess piece, and find a place to hide to avoid being dragged to the battlefield.

The king smiled and said, "Sir Roland, I know you long to gain honor on the battlefield. But you have been mysteriously infected, and I'm afraid the parliament will not allow you to go for the time being."

Roland took a sip of tea and lied without hesitation, "Alfonso, although I am now infected by the mystery, you know that the White School has a potion that can cure the Crystal Princess's disease."

"Haha, Maester Roland, of course I know."

The king said meaningfully, "But the mystery you are infected with is very special. Every time you take the potion to cure it, you will get sick again. It is also very contagious. It is not suitable for you to return to the school in the short term."

After a pause, the king said, "Sir Roland, I wonder if you would like to temporarily leave the academy and become the court wizard of the Amir Kingdom? The court wizards of the Amir Kingdom will not be recruited by the academy.

Even if the situation deteriorates in the future and evolves to the point where mortals and wild wizards like us are required to join the war, a small kingdom like ours can just send a few people as a token of our respect. The parliament will not make things difficult for us just because we send a few low-level apprentices, low-level knights, and soldiers."

Roland's eyes moved slightly.

The king had a great idea!

He was in a dilemma again. He couldn't stay in the Amir Kingdom.

When he was promoted to a formal wizard, he encountered a disaster.

Roland's desire to become a full-fledged wizard was intense. To achieve this, he had to slay butterflies. He had to overcome a minor tribulation!

He needed a border territory to contact the Twilight Wizards and steal their mysterious secrets to help himself survive this disaster.

Roland shook his head regretfully and said, "I have a border territory that I must visit. I'm afraid I can't stay here."

Since the conversation had come to this, Roland got straight to the point. He continued, "To be honest, I don't have any retainers around me, and I've set my sights on your court wizard."

Alfonso's face turned very ugly. He had guessed it long ago. So he just came up with a plan that would satisfy both parties.

Ives was both Alfonso's personal teacher and his chief bodyguard. His departure would destabilize the entire kingdom.

Even if Roland stayed and helped him cure the Crystal Princess disease, he was unwilling to let Elvis go.

While distracted, Alfonso saw Roland putting something on the coffee table.

Upon closer inspection, there were actually seven or eight rare items, seven or eight robes, wizard armor, several magic books of different schools, and some promotion potions for low-level apprentices.

Roland said, "Your Majesty, these items are relatively clean; they are relics. I originally considered returning them to the White Chess School for a reward, or perhaps selling them on the black market. But after much deliberation, I think selling them to you at a fair price is the best deal for both of us."

If you don't have enough magic stones, you can use some gold and silver instead.

I know you are short of people around you. With these treasures, many wizards from different schools will be willing to quit their schools and become your followers.

As for these magic books, they certainly shouldn't be passed around randomly. However, it's quite common for them to spread from schools to the common people. Many unconventional wizard schools were born this way.

If you don't dare share these magic books with others, you can study them yourself. After you have mastered them, compile your own collection to train wizards for your kingdom.

Finally, I will never admit that I sold you anything.

I believe that if someone finds these things, you will definitely say that you bought them from the black market. But even if you say that I gave them to you, it doesn't matter.

I don't care what the White School thinks of me, and the upper-level White Wizards have been disgusted with me for a long time.

I belong to the Black Abyss. Even if White Qi punishes me, I still have to pass through the Black Abyss Snake Tower. And according to the rules of the Black Abyss, I am just being stupid and giving a small gift to my teacher.

Alfonso wants to follow the path of the Magic King, that is, the Great Wizard Lord.

So he has always been on the lookout for magical items, but the school forbids the sale of magical items to the secular world.

Alfonso and his team can only look for channels in the black market, but on the one hand, the heartland of the White Chess School is not as corrupt as the Black Abyss, so Alfonso has very few channels.

The few channels available not only offer limited variety, but also increasingly steep prices. You'll often encounter dreadful merchandise like "Top-grade Rare Item. Wind Prince Ring."

The treasures in the kingdom, combined, were less than half of what Roland had brought out, not to mention the school's magic books that were absolutely forbidden to be passed on to outsiders, and the advancement potions that were in short supply in the wizarding world.

These things can be used to recruit many people and train your own wizard apprentices!
Alfonso took a look and found that there was a top-grade rare item inside!
Although the rest are medium-quality and low-quality rare items, their quality is much better than those of the products sold by those unscrupulous merchants.

The most important thing is those magic books and magic potions. This can cultivate many outstanding people.

"What's your price?" Alfonso's voice trembled. It wasn't clear if he was worried Roland would overpay, or if he was just too eager for these things.

Roland said calmly, "I told you, it's a fair price. Five thousand."

Alfonso's heart suddenly twitched, and he seemed to be relieved.

Roland opened a door for him—the things he took out were enough to hold a small auction!
Not to mention, Roland gave him a normal price, instead of raising it two or three times like the black market dealers!
When Alfonso raised his head again, his eyes were almost glowing green.

His greatest wish is to rise up under the suppression of the school, and transform himself from a worker in shackles into a magical king with dignity and sovereignty, and a wizard lord.

If I had these things before, would I have been surrounded and bullied by a group of comb soldiers in the castle?
This deal, more than any other, hit him right in the heart.

Alfonso asked one last, concerned question: "Will you stay and continue to deal with the Crystal Princess's illness?"

After the incident with the Comb Army, Alfonso felt a tremendous pressure. But there was a sharp sword hanging over his head. If this sword was not broken, all his treasures would be wasted.

Roland said, "I will stay for a while to complete my mission. After that, the White School will send a team. I will go with them to visit the 'Gem Basin' and deal with the Crystal Princess Disease, or Rainbow Disease."

In fact, even if Roland didn't have a rainbow on his body, he planned to stay here for a while.

Where else would he go? To answer the call?
Furthermore, the events of the small village had always weighed heavily on Roland's mind. The story of three generations of Grandpa Augustus's family fighting against the rainbow had also deeply moved him.

He hopes to do his best to do good things for people he doesn't know.

It's considered a good deed.

After confirming that Roland would stay, Alfonso was so excited he almost cried. He grabbed Roland's hand and said, "Brother Roland! On behalf of the people of the Amir Kingdom, I thank you! After this, no matter what reward the school gives you, I will also add a generous reward!"

Roland looked very young, but a wizard's age was usually irrelevant to appearance. Alfonso felt that Roland must be older than him.

The Witch Alexandra was already eighteen years old when she was promoted to a senior apprentice!
Besides, the magic in the hands of this 'big brother' is so powerful. He must be in his twenties!

So Alfonso called Roland "big brother". Not only that, he now knelt down and called Roland "dad"!
He didn't know how strong the team from the school was, but he saw Roland's methods today.

Roland alone was worth a small wizarding group. If he stayed, the Crystal Princess's illness would definitely be dealt with more securely.

Alfonso said that he would do his best to pay for the deal with magic stones, and later he would give Roland a secular fiefdom, a large amount of magic stones, and gold and silver.

At the same time, he would not only poach Elvis to Roland, but also give Elvis a title and fiefdom, so that his youngest son would have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and Elvis would have no worries and could follow Roland with peace of mind.

Roland was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Alfonso to be so forthcoming.

Now, Elvis can let go of all his worries and go with him.

As for the secular fiefdom that Alfonso gave Roland, although Roland looked down on it, it was also a way out. If he couldn't make it as a wizard anymore, he could return and become a secular lord.

Alfonso told Roland that the Kingdom of Amir was actually very rich.

The Rainbow Disease has never been so serious before, so the output of potions in previous years is not affected.

In addition, Alfonso and his mother managed the business well, and they could deduct a lot of money from the White School every time there was a disaster, so the Amir Kingdom was very rich.

therefore!

Although the Royal City had been occupied by the Comb Army, Alfonso had managed to rob a considerable sum of money when he fled, so he still had five thousand magic stones. He would give Roland the money from this transaction tonight.

"and many more!"

Roland interrupted with a wave of his hand: "What did you just say? The Royal City was occupied by the Comb Army? If that's the case, wouldn't the Royal City have become a 'gem basin'?!"

Roland was completely dumbfounded.

Judging from this behavior, I'm afraid there must be a Crystal Rainbow Goddess ascending to heaven in that gem basin!
