I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 168 It’s really a road to immortality

The name Old John is the same as "I am Old Li". There are at least thousands of people named Old John in the entire Amir Kingdom.

No matter how you listen to him, he sounds like an ordinary person.

The ghost comb soldier said, "Oh, Old John is our Holy Son! He is the biological son left behind by the Crystal Lady and the King of Light!"

The scholars whispered to Roland, "These Crystal Lady and Light King are just country jargon. Translated into the official language of the nobility, they'd be 'Crystal Mother' and 'Light Heavenly Father'. These two gods don't exist at all."

Roland continued to listen to the Ghost Comb Army.

"Old John was the first Holy Spirit blessed by the Crystal Lady during the fire! He had long ago stopped us from calling him Old John and called us 'Holy Light Little King, Crystal King John'. His son, Little John, also changed his name to 'Holy Light Little King, Crystal King John'.

Old John and Little John are our two saints!

Old John is the Crystal King we just mentioned. He's originally in the north, but in a few days, he'll be heading to the Royal City. Everyone says he's the Holy Spirit descended from heaven, the Son of God, God!
So his son, his daughter-in-law, his father, his mother, his aunts and uncles, are all gods!"

Old John's mother and old John are both people with evil intentions.

Old John is actually the illegitimate son of Lord Comb!

Before he turned into a crystal man, he was doing evil things. Not only did he have secret contacts with the bandits, he also wanted to take advantage of the disaster to kill his own father and brothers and become the lord.

The Comb Lord in his territory was actually called the 'Baron of Big Red Mountain'. He was greedy for money and often exploited the people, so he had a bad reputation.

He created many bizarre private taxes, the most famous of which was the "comb tax." This old man was no pushover either. The illegitimate child certainly couldn't outmaneuver him.

He burned his illegitimate son, Old John, alive!
As a result, the food was ruined by the fire, and Old John became the first invulnerable crystal man.

At the time, the onlookers thought the Holy Spirit had descended. Old John, known for his eloquence, gathered his first group of followers with a few words of persuasion, then kidnapped his own father and began a rebellion under the name of "Lord Comb."

Roland asked with a strange look on his face, "Do you know that Crystal Lady?"

A ghost jumped out and shouted, "I know, I know! Lady Crystal and I are from the same village! She used to be a servant of Lord Comb. When the Lord was drunk, she snuck into his bed and stole his child!"

There are no contraceptive measures in the secular world, but any noble with a certain status would never have an affair with his servants.

Although some lords like to play with other people's wives and seek the right of first night, there are still few such people.

Because once you have an illegitimate child, there will be endless troubles afterwards.

However, the "Crystal Lady" was very resourceful and also had some beauty, so after sleeping with the Comb Lord once, she put in a lot of effort and became his lover.

The ghosts continued, "But the woman always wanted this and that, and the master gradually got tired of her and drove her out. Later, she married a blacksmith, and gave birth to old John six months later. The old blacksmith knew that this was the lord's illegitimate child, and he was overjoyed and raised him as his own son."

Some people are very reluctant to have their virginity taken away by their lord, or to be made a father by chance. However, many commoners regard it as winning the lottery!
For many people, no matter whose blood the son sheds, as long as there is a son, there will be descendants.

Many people would be happy if the son still shed the lord's blood.

This blacksmith and the Crystal Lady were birds of a feather. They both saw this as a good thing.

They weren't as ambitious as their sons. After all, although illegitimate children could become nobles, they were extremely rare. So they just tried to find ways to get some benefits from the lords.

It was difficult for ordinary commoners to gain some benefits from the lord by virtue of his illegitimate son. If the lord got angry, he might kill the whole family, including his illegitimate son.

But the 'Crystal Lady' was very resourceful. After being driven away to marry, she once again got involved with the Comb Lord.

She made Lord Comb completely infatuated with him. Not only did she and her husband work together to get a lot of benefits from the lord's lover, she also sent her illegitimate son to the castle to serve as a servant to the lord's family.

In this era, being a servant in a castle wasn't a menial job. It was a civil servant!

The illegitimate son was also very hardworking and became very successful later on. He was a traitor and made many friends in the castle. Outside the castle, he also made friends with a group of bandits.

That led to a lot of bad things that happened later.

After hearing so much, Roland finally confirmed one thing—this 'Crystal King, Bastard Old John' and that 'Crystal Lady, Maid' were not the reincarnations of the Rainbow Immortal or the Crystal Immortal, but ordinary people!

The ghosts said, “Later, we found out that Old John’s mother, the maid who married the blacksmith, was actually the Crystal Lady who was reborn!

And that 'Comb Lord', while sleeping with Crystal Lady, was actually possessed by the Heavenly Father! The God of Light used his body to give birth to the Holy Son with Crystal Lady, who came to the world to save people from suffering!

This God of Light was made up by Old John. Otherwise, if there really was a God of Light in this world, he would be pissed to death.

The ghosts chattered at once, and Roland was completely stunned after listening to them.

He had originally thought that the Comb Army was being guided by divine guidance. He had thought that the leaders of the Comb Army were truly the Holy Spirits of the Crystal Princess. But now, he saw that they were nothing more than a mob.

After asking about Old John again, Roland's expression became strange.

He rubbed his chin and muttered, "That old John is just a pure country bandit. He can't possibly become an immortal. So if I take this opportunity to go to the Gem Basin, can I escape this Butterfly Immortal Path, achieve the Crystal Avenue, and ascend to become a Rainbow Immortal?"

The king and the ghosts: "."

Shaking his head, Roland gave up the idea. It would be fine if he became a Crystal Sage, since he wouldn't be missing many functions.

But if I become a rainbow person, how can I practice dual cultivation in the future? How can I be happy?

That would make you a eunuch!

Moreover, this road is likely to have major hidden dangers.

After careful consideration, Roland discovered that this "rainbow" was actually a mysterious anomaly that appeared naturally.

It can be accommodated.

As long as you find a way to contain the rainbow, your own rainbow disease can be basically solved.

When I become a wizard and overcome the butterfly tribulation, this rainbow might be able to block a few thunders for me!
Roland felt that this shelter thing was really worth doing.

The royal city was indeed occupied by the Comb Army. However, the Comb Army was just a group of bandits.

They are not even as good as the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, it is possible to sneak into the royal city and cut off the source of the problem.

Judging from the information provided by the prisoners in Comb Army uniforms, there are some very powerful crystal wizards in the Comb Army.

They boasted about the wizards' powers in a fantastic way, but it all sounded like "a king hoeing the ground with a golden hoe."

Whatever powerful beings there were within the Comb Army, they hadn't yet become mystical. So, they were essentially wild wizards who had suddenly reached a higher level.

Although his realm is high, he has no basic knowledge of magic.

Roland didn't have the courage to fight them. Or rather, before he understood their true realm, he didn't dare to provoke them.

However, when the wizards of the school arrived, Roland became very courageous.

Roland locked the ghosts in the dungeon and handed them over to everyone for questioning. King Alfonso and the nobles once again invited Roland to a dinner party.

Roland glared at the idiots and said, "Eat, eat, eat! You can't turn on the lights at night, or you'll turn into a crystal man if you see a rainbow!" Many nobles: "..."

When you see a rainbow, you have to turn into a crystal man?

Look at what these are talking about. But the Black Abyss wizards are all crazy. You can't argue with them, just do what they say.

Roland drove away the onlookers around and left the castle with King Alfonso to check the battlefield.

The relationship between the two is getting better and better. Alfonso even calls Roland his brother in front of the nobles and ministers.

Amber came running from behind, following Roland like a little tail, and behind her were several knights.

On the way, Roland quietly looked at Amber and King Alfonso.

King Alfonso was not tall, only about 1.7 meters.

This height is actually not short, but this king is the only high-ranking knight in the kingdom.

He had been well-nourished since childhood, and even ate a variety of magic potions and monster meat. It was normal for him to grow to 1.8 or 1.9 meters.

However, although he is not tall, he is very handsome.

Roland saw some oil paintings of the previous queen in the corridor of the manor castle. It was a petite and beautiful woman.

It seems that I take after my mother.

Little Amber is a tiny girl, a little loli.

She resembles the previous queen of the Amir Kingdom and Alfonso.

Roland thought to himself, "Oh my god! I accidentally discovered a secret. Could they really be half-siblings? No, Alfonso should be Amber's uncle, an uncle-niece relationship!"
Amber might actually be King Alfonso's niece.

A true little princess.

Roland thought to himself, "Grandpa Augustus, you're really good. You've cuckolded the owner of the Crab Eye Elephant Tower!"

Soon, Roland and the others arrived outside the castle. The ground outside was in shambles.

Roland said to Amber, "What's the point of joining in the fun, kid? Go back to your room."

Amber stiffened her neck and said, "Teacher, I'm not here to join in the fun. I want to supervise how the ravens deal with the corpse."

Roland suddenly understood, and he immediately remembered his performance with Queen Helaka this month.

He planned to go to the cemetery later, and it would be a waste of manpower for the two of them to go together.

So he said, "You go to the tower and study the prisoners and follow up on the progress. I'm going to check out the cemetery later."

Amber walked away with a pout. She was very unhappy that the teacher always treated her like a child.

Alfonso could see that Roland didn't like this student. He could see that Roland didn't recognize this student, but he loved Miss Amber very much. Even if he didn't recognize this student, he would probably arrange a very good tutor for her.

Alfonso secretly kept this in mind.

The battle was over, and the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield. Roland also saw some ravens.

When the king fled, he brought with him many refugees, including the wild wizards that these schools had specifically targeted for capture.

These ravens had just been released by Amber and were now serving as court wizards.

They directed everyone to carry the wounded and captives to the castle for treatment, and to transport the bodies to a distant cemetery. They also handled the dead according to the manual that Roland had revised.

Roland chatted with King Alfonso for a while, asked for the direction of the cemetery, and then flew to the cemetery alone.

After checking the work here, he pulled out the souls of several Comb Army soldiers, asked some questions, and then liberated all the dead.

Afterwards, Roland went to the palace wizards' tower, where they were conducting experiments on the Comb Army.

Here, Roland saw a large vinegar vat, in which a shivering prisoner of the Comb Army was soaking.

Amber and a few ravens were excitedly taking notes, while a few court wizards were sitting aside, pulling their hair and questioning their lives.

Elvis was also here, holding Grandpa Augustus's notes in his hand, looking at the jealous Comb Army, thinking about something.

Roland walked over and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Elvis was awakened by Roland's words, and he quickly made a shushing gesture to Roland.

Then, the Great Magician Elvis looked around suspiciously and whispered in Roland's ear, "Sir, I've discovered a shocking secret. Rainbow doesn't like sour food, hehe! ~"

After saying that, Elvis grabbed his hair and laughed, muttering a lot of contradictory crazy words.

Roland's expression turned very ugly.

I finally found someone to go to the battlefield for me, but within two hours, Amber drove him crazy!

Suddenly, several spells of unconsciousness fell on Elvis and the court wizards, and they passed out. Roland took out some tranquilizers and fed them to them.

Having the ravens who were still doing research take these poor guys away for treatment, Roland came to the vinegar jar and examined the Comb Army prisoner.

Roland was surprised to find that the crystal on this person's body was slowly disappearing.

The scholars of the Raven Society said to Roland, "Sir, based on some analysis, if the cause of Rainbow Disease is eradicated, then even if you become a crystal person, you can recover!"

This is very good news.

In this tower, there is another large vinegar vat that has just pickled another dead Crystal Comb soldier. He did not come back to life, and his body has been disposed of.

Amber is working with everyone to figure out how to reuse this jar of vinegar. Vinegar is expensive. The castle has a limited supply of vinegar, so it needs to be reused.

While I was studying it, I saw my teacher Roland quickly taking off all his clothes and leaving only his shorts, and I became jealous.

Amber's face turned red. Teachers can be really rude sometimes. There are girls here, but they don't even pay attention to etiquette.

After the soak, Roland discovered that the rainbow in his body had indeed diminished, but a large area of ​​crystals had appeared inside him!

"What kind of logic is this?" Roland grabbed his hair, feeling terrible.

In the following days, many scholars conducted in-depth research and analysis on Roland's situation, and compared it with experiments on many Comb Army prisoners.

Everyone discovered that there were small amounts of rainbows on other people's bodies, but only those who were severely infected or crystal people had this kind of thing.

From observation, even if all the rainbows on everyone in the entire Green Lake Manor were added together, there was still no Rolando.

Upon learning this, Roland stared blankly at the sky outside the window and said, "Could it be that I am the Rainbow Fairy?"
