I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 175 Sister can put out the fire for you
The mysterious Snake Tower is based on a mysterious black color, but under the sunlight, it has a bit of colorful flavor. It looks very strange.

There isn't even a grocery store around here.

Few ordinary apprentices dare to approach here. Those who hang around here are the wizards of the tower, professors who have encountered troubles, those who seek advice from the wizards of the tower, and outsiders who come to do business.

Occasionally, apprentices would come to deliver goods or submit tasks.

Today, however, a large group of freshmen were touring the courtyard outside the tower. The professor leading the group and the two instructors also appeared to be new. They recited the history of the Black Abyss verbatim, but their eyes were also filled with curiosity.

These people seem to be new arrivals from Baiqi Academy.

White Qi was currently short of capable apprentices, and they had recently exchanged with Black Abyss Academy. Many people from Black Abyss rushed over.

Interestingly, most of those who applied to join the White Chess Academy were apprentices from the Black Abyss School. They'd been dying to leave this shabby place. Just look at what kind of missions the academy has been sending them lately. And then look at the White Chess School!

The White Chess Academy was also eager for these Black Abyss apprentices. They were secretly studying black magic and even committing crimes, but who cared? As the situation intensified, the council's supervision of many matters was no longer as strict.

Although these Black Abyss apprentices love to stir up trouble, now is the time when these thugs are needed. And judging from the results of the last internal spy investigation, the entire Black Abyss is the cleanest place among all the schools.

The number of Heiyuan's old apprentices who went to Baiqi exceeded three digits, and some Heiyuan professors who were eager to retire also followed.

As a price, the White side sent three times as many new students and many professors who were interested in the occult and black magic.

Black Abyss is almost becoming a training base. Both sides are very happy.

The professor who was showing the freshmen around was actually in her thirties, but she had rarely left the academy. She was filled with curiosity about the mysterious Black Abyss, and even more so about the eerie Snake Tower.

A tall and handsome Black Abyss noble walked out of the tower. Judging from the embroidery on his robe, he seemed to be a senior apprentice of the Snake Tower.

The professor and the two instructors showed a hint of envy in their eyes. The Snake Tower wizards were the most orthodox Black Abyss wizards. Rumor has it that they even had a license to kill (actually a license for dark magic)!
The entry requirements for the Snake Tower are very strict. Only two types of people can enter the tower: either a magic master with the title of Grand Secretary or Mage, or someone who is particularly good at fighting.

This professor has recently been preparing a thesis, hoping to enter the Snake Tower and read the most orthodox collection of the Black Abyss. But the Black Abyss is a bit too strict.

The professor felt he had no problem with the academics. However, he heard that entering the Snake Tower required a practical test. If the interviewee was a senior apprentice, they would have to be able to hold their own against the senior apprentices of the Snake Tower for three minutes.

If they were professors, the people interviewing them would also be senior apprentices from the Snake Tower. They would require the full-fledged wizards to defeat the apprentices from the Snake Tower within five moves.

To be honest, this is a bit disrespectful.

But after the professor watched the previous test videos of the Snake Tower from his friend Sister Yingtao, he suddenly felt a little unsure.

I heard that there was a case where a senior apprentice from the Snake Tower killed a formal wizard. Although that senior apprentice was at the peak level, and that formal wizard had just been promoted and was from a small school, it was still a bit too unbelievable.

In many schools of thought, being able to kill a wizard of the same rank was considered quite remarkable. After all, everyone had some means of saving or escaping.

The Snake Tower wizard, so engrossed in his crystal ball, slipped through the students. He nodded apologetically to the professor, who smiled and nodded slightly, asking the students to make way.

The Snake Tower Wizard felt even more embarrassed and hurried past.

He looked back at the professor and the freshmen, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

It would be nice to be able to teach at the academy. Professors who are responsible for teaching will not be drafted, at least not in the early stages of the war. Unfortunately, he can't do this kind of work.

In fact, most of the freshmen in the first three years will not receive a call-up order. But for someone like him, it would be a pity not to mingle with the Twilight Wizards.

"Okay, Ivis, let's leave it this way for now. I've left all the stuff at the Snake Tower. When you come over, they'll give you the rare items and advancement potions. As for the recruitment, I've already spoken to my mentor. The Snake Tower will be responsible for matters in the border area, and my mentor will arrange a good place for you to garrison."

Putting down the crystal ball, Roland headed towards the tower where a certain princess was.

Elvis had just asked Roland if he would return to the Kingdom of Amir. King Alfonso hoped to thank him properly and, by the way, grant Roland the fiefdom of the Comb Lord.

If Roland could go back and accept the title, King Alfonso would have face among the neighboring countries.

However, Alfonso had no expectations for this, because even if a wizard from the school accepted the title, they would not usually kneel before the secular king in person. Instead, they would find a representative.

Sure enough, Roland asked Elvis to go through the canonization process for him.

Matt and his team have done a lot of things these days.

After Roland left, they found a lot of magic stones and gold and silver hidden by King Alfonso in the secret room of the castle.

In addition, they also found a lot of money when dealing with the leaders and chieftains of the Comb Army in the city.

These chieftains, great and small, had already divided up all the treasures of Amir's city—the kingdom's treasury, the nobles' treasuries, and the treasures of the northern lords.
There are magic stones, gold and silver, materials, and potions.

Alfonso's small treasury, the money of the national treasury, nobles and lords. This amount of money is too huge.

Matt and the others were very happy at the beginning, but when they found that the amount of money was getting bigger and bigger, they started to panic.

In the Kingdom of Amir, many nobles and lords are descendants of wizards. Many nobles also serve as stewards to wizards, cultivating potions for them in the kingdom.

Honestly, these nobles are pretty rotten, and Lord Comb is a prime example. The fact that so many people joined the Comb Army this time is all thanks to them.

Because they had wizards as their backers, they exploited the common people to the utmost. Many people's fields were seized by them through various means, annexed and then used to grow magic potions.

As a result, not only did the people lose their own land, but the price of grain in the country was also ridiculously high.

The only way for the lower class to survive is to be slaves to this group of people.

Many people even have no way to survive.

Therefore, the upper-level leaders and middle-level small leaders in the Comb Army are all guys who deserve to be killed - they are as greedy as the nobles.

But those comb soldiers at the bottom are all people who have no way to make a living.

Therefore, these nobles, like the leaders of the Comb Army, are all hateful and deserve to die.

Now, not only did they all survive, but Matt and his team got their money and had to pay it back.

Matt and his friends wanted the money, but it was too hot to handle. These nobles all had powerful backers. Matt and his friends couldn't afford to offend them.

But they would not be willing to return all the money.

So they contacted Roland and asked him what to do.

They had sought out Roland because they wanted to recruit him. He was bold, ruthless, and always had shady ideas. He also had connections.

Roland gave them a three-step proposal.

The first step is to take all the money. Don't leave a cent for the king and the nobles. Let them go back and cry.

The second step is to wait until everyone has cried enough, then find the king individually, tell him, and divide the profits with him.

Roland didn't care how the money was divided. But he told Matt and the others to learn to be content. They should take whatever the king gave them. They shouldn't be greedy and spend it all.

Because King Alfonso needed money for disaster relief.

The rainbow disease is indeed gone, but there is famine in the country now!
Many people’s homes also had to be rebuilt.

As for the third step, Roland didn't tell them how to proceed. He told them to complete the first two steps first, recruiting Alfonso. He also reminded them not to pay back any of the nobles' money, even if they were good nobles and family members. Matt and his idiots trusted Roland so much that they did as he said.

King Alfonso also thought that Roland would not cheat him, so he joined the gang.

Less than two days later, Alfonso, Matt and others contacted Roland again.

The nobles started to make trouble, and their wizard backers were also preparing to cause trouble for them.

They not only wanted to get back their lost money, but also the money and land of the dead lords and people.

Anyone who shows up as the wizard backers of these nobles must be dealt with!
Even if they are after your property, you should still take care of it!
Because when the disaster in Amir Kingdom was so serious, they all closed their eyes and did nothing, which made Roland and his group of apprentices take on the responsibility.

As a result, now that the trouble is gone and there is meat to eat, they all popped their heads out and pounced on me to get a bite of the fat.

Roland asked them to draw up a list. He wrote the names of the nobles King Alfonso thought could rebuild his homeland with him in normal ink. Those who deserved death were written in red.

Including those wizards who showed up and those who blackmailed, all of them were recorded and written in red.

In addition to the names, the nobles' territories were also recorded. After their death, these would become money. They could be auctioned off by the White Fang in exchange for magic stones. The wizards who were interested in secular territories were usually apprentices without connections who wanted to leave the academy.

These people could be recruited by Alfonso to help rebuild the kingdom.

Roland told Matt and the others that they had no way out now and could only follow him all the way to the end.

Roland will find a big boss who can settle this matter.

This expert not only understood the White School of Chess well enough, but he was also definitely capable of suppressing this matter. Roland would act as a bridge and get this expert involved in this matter.

After the matter is accomplished, the boss will share this big cake with them.

This cake is very, very big. It contains the wealth of the nobles, the wealth of the descendants of wizards, and the wealth that wizards placed in the Amir Kingdom.

The wealth includes magic stones, gold, silver, magic potions, and real estate that can be auctioned.

After the profits were divided, Alfonso would definitely be able to rebuild his kingdom, and the victims would be given land. Heroes like Matt who had helped the king rob the rich and give to the poor would also receive a generous reward.

Not only that, King Alfonso will also be able to completely centralize power!
As for the boss, although he is greedy for money, he also has a conscience and is very generous to his subordinates. He will leave a big enough cake for Alfonso and his friends. This cake will be twice as big as the original one!
Of course, this boss is also very ruthless, so Alfonso and his gang must be obedient and not get involved with other bosses, otherwise they will end up in a very bad situation.

As long as they work well for the boss, after he gets the cake, he will not only protect them, but also mobilize schools and neighboring countries to help the Amir Kingdom with disaster relief.

In addition, if the cake is too small, just cry about being poor, and the boss may just take some money and leave.

How could this be a case of sharing the cake? This was like inviting a living Bodhisattva to the Amir Kingdom to save the country from suffering!
After listening to this, Alfonso and the others wanted to ask Roland which living Buddha he was looking for.

Roland told them not to ask questions that they shouldn't ask and to get things done.

At that time, Roland told them: "Don't be afraid. Even if the nobles' wizards and their backers report this to the White Queen, she will turn a blind eye."

Finally, everyone carefully asked Roland how much money he wanted.

Roland said that he only needed 3,000 magic stones, and these 3,000 magic stones would be given directly to Elvis.

As for gold and silver? Roland was quite proud of these mundane things. He asked for four thousand gold and forty thousand silver.

After Roland made the offer, Alfonso even wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Just that little money?
It’s enough to just take a little bit of Alfonso’s small treasury!
He really wanted to tell Roland that you were insulting me by only asking for such a small amount of money, but when he thought of the disaster in the kingdom, he shut up.

He bowed deeply to Roland, saying that the entire kingdom would be grateful to him, and half-jokingly said that he wished he could build a cathedral for him. People in areas ruled by wizards didn't care much about religion, so Alfonso wanted to carve the statue in Roland's image.

Roland thought about it and decided to let Alfonso build a cathedral for the goddess Heraclea in Roland's name.

Roland's request was quite unique. After all, who would build a church for the god of death? Who would actually pray to the god of death?

But since he asked for it, Alfonso agreed and said he would make it look beautiful.

The above is what happened in recent days.

Roland had already figured out which big boss to find to help Alfonso and the others settle the matter.

I have handed over such a good thing that is famous, profitable, and can also accumulate virtue to the hands of the big boss. The big boss must do something and be grateful to me.

While thinking, Roland felt the magical fluctuations in the crystal ball in the bag.

He picked it up and looked at it. The shimmering magic mark on it looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, Roland remembered a beautiful and coquettish witch.

How did she know about her magic mark?
Ah. It must have been given by Angel (Lilith)!
Roland hurriedly found an empty corner, looked around, and when he didn't sense the gaze from his senior sister, he lit the crystal ball.

A charming witch appeared in the crystal ball. She looked like she had just attended a ball, a glass of red wine in her hand. Her low-cut dress was slit wide, and the crystal ball's angle of vision was perfect, making Roland's heart tremble with fear.

"You idiot, you said you'd come to play with me often, but you were just kidding me. You big liar, have you forgotten me?

This lady who speaks in a fiery tone is Miss Kayla of the White Fang Society.

The two first met at an auction in Dahl Town. Miss Kayla was there as a guest appraiser, hoping to give Roland a hard time, but she was frightened to the point of peeing on the floor.

Later, she hurriedly changed her clothes and wore a thin gauze skirt to act as Roland's tour guide.

At that time, she mistakenly thought Roland was a big shot. In order to make Roland stop hating her, she gritted her teeth and leaned on Roland to flirt with him.

A high-level apprentice who offered himself to you to get close to you?

At that time, Roland, the apprentice, was almost laughing to death in his heart, and he had a great time without any pretense.

Roland still remembers Kayla's long, smooth and tender legs.

Roland coughed and said, "How could I forget my good comrade who I had shared life and death with? But the past six months or so have been really stressful. I really haven't found a chance to visit Miss Kayla. You are well-informed and should know what has been going on in the White Chess Council recently."

"Humph."

Keira was unhappy, not because Roland didn't visit her, but because she had mailed several letters to Heiyuan, but received no response.

As for these letters, hehe, Roland naturally didn't receive them. Because they were all burned by someone. So the two of them have had no contact since then.

However, Kayla was always thinking about her savior and paying close attention to all the news about him.

Although Roland was only an apprentice wizard, and his actions were not so remarkable when compared to the major events of the major schools, Keira was someone who could hang out with Lilith, a typical information dealer. She knew a lot about Roland's affairs.

Not long after the incident in the Amir Kingdom ended, Kayla contacted me.

Kayla's tone softened. "Never mind. You're a busy man. I've heard all about your heroic deeds. I also know your tail is still on fire."

As she spoke, she leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and looked at Roland. Her large, charming eyes fixed on Roland, and she said something with a double meaning: "Sister can put out the fire for you~~"
