I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 180 Straw Town

That stinky man who makes people love and hate him came over again.

Catherine hurriedly pushed the greedy guy away - Catherine was even a little panicked.

This guy is simply a big stud dog!

Miss Tigress is almost full today and can't eat anymore.

Roland kissed her forehead anyway and put her shoes on.

Roland said, "I'm leaving, baby."

"Yes, my dear sir." Catherine pouted and kissed Roland. Her childish gesture made Roland's heart flutter. He gently combed her long hair.

Everything was fine, but Catherine suddenly turned and looked at Roland warily: "Lord Roland, as your lord, I have the obligation to inspect your territory, and you are also obligated to report to me every week."

This woman reminded me of Roland's old neighbor Kayla.

Roland pretended not to understand and said soothingly, tying his collar. "Come on, you're welcome anytime, okay, okay. Don't glare at me like that. I'm staying in the tower and won't go anywhere. Come anytime, and I'll come back often to check on you."

Catherine was still a little worried. After a pause, and for some unknown reason, she suddenly said, "You don't have a maid by your side, do you? Do you want me to pick one of my maids for you?"

Roland was so busy looking at the teeth marks on his body in the mirror that he didn't pay much attention to what Catherine said, so he asked, "What maid?"

Catherine narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully: "If I marry you in the future, won't my maid be your maid? It's okay for me to pick one for you from my side in advance and take care of you."

Roland froze for a moment, suddenly remembering the predicted reward—"Should I find you another maid to sleep with?"

He couldn't help but turn his head and looked at Catherine with a strange expression.

Catherine leaned back in her chair and smiled gently, "Roland, I've already been promoted to a full-fledged wizard. The probability of me being able to pass on the Alaye family bloodline to you has greatly decreased. After you advance, it will be even more difficult."

As long as they carry our surname, they are our children.

It’s a tradition in the wizarding world.”

Roland coughed and said, "Catherine, I haven't thought about this."

Catherine shook her head and said gently, "The people around me are my confidants. When I'm not around, I can rest assured that they will take care of your life. Besides, you have become a lord, so naturally you need to recruit some people to be around you.

Instead of looking for it yourself, why not choose from me?

You also know a lot of people around me, who do you think is good?"

Catherine said it well, but only she knew what she was actually planning.

She then deliberately mentioned a few names to see if Roland would be interested.

But Roland's heartbeat didn't fluctuate violently at all, and his emotions were very calm.

He cleared the 'battleground' around the room and removed the soundproofing spell. His face was filled with impatience as he responded to Catherine's words.

On the contrary, when Catherine mentioned Lilith, Roland told her about Lilith and Kayla, as well as the benefits Kayla had given her.

As a result, Roland brought Catherine to the point, and the two also talked about the cake in Keira's territory.

Roland said, "Lilith does want to go there. I'm just delivering a message. It's up to you how you arrange it. I just think you could put her name on it and prevent her from causing trouble there."

This way, the nominal lord of that place is Angel, but in reality, you're the one in charge. Taxes and other things will all go through you. If you're happy, give Lilith some pocket money."

Catherine thought Roland's weird idea was great.

Wait! How did we get off topic?
Talking about this, Catherine recalled her original purpose.

She waved her hands, feeling a bit overwhelmed, and said, "Alright, alright. If you are not satisfied with my maid, I will leave Anna with you."

Catherine deliberately brought Anna up because she wanted to end the topic.

Because Roland definitely wouldn't have any interest in Anna, right?

The next second, Catherine noticed that Roland's mind suddenly fluctuated, and his heartbeat quickened.

Catherine raised her head with a dull expression, her eyes full of disbelief.

If Roland was attracted to another name, Catherine would definitely teach this scumbag a lesson—I'll kill you! Pretending to be a pure love warrior, he actually wants to start a harem!

But Anna is different. She is another species!

A great beauty, three or four meters tall.

Roland, a tall man, is only half the height of Anna!

But Roland's heartbeat quickened. He seemed to be really considering Anna being his maid!

There was only one word in Catherine's mind now - shocked.

Catherine: "Roland, are you still human? You, you are attracted to Anna? What kind of weird interest do you have?!"

Roland shouted, "No, I don't!"

Catherine roared, "Get out! Get out! You are not allowed to touch me anymore!"

With a snap, a high-heeled shoe flew over and slapped him in the face.

Roland hurriedly caught the high heels, rubbed his face and wanted to explain, but suddenly heard Catherine cough lightly.

Her tone suddenly became very cold. She said, "Okay, Lord Roland, I already understand the secrets and the two plans you just mentioned. I'll find someone to handle the matters concerning the Amir Kingdom and that town. Do you have anything else to say?"

As Catherine spoke, she checked her clothes and winked at Roland, asking him to return her high heels.

Roland suddenly understood.

There was someone outside his door, and he had just removed the soundproofing charm. Now there was still a spell on the door, and if someone outside found the door locked with a spell, they would definitely think too much. So Catherine was trying to make up for it.

"No one, Your Highness. What else do you want?"

Roland said this very respectfully, but he put the high heels in his hand to his nose and sniffed them hard.

Catherine was both ashamed and angry. Her heart trembled, and she narrowed her eyes and said, "I will inspect your territory and fulfill your responsibilities."

Roland said respectfully, "Your Highness, I will report to you regularly."

As he said this, he put the high heels into his arms under Catherine's angry glare.

With a snap, Roland broke the spell on the door.

Catherine was so angry that she wanted to bite him again, but she didn't care about that. She quickly reached out and picked a flower from the bouquet next to the table and chair, turned it into a shoe and put it on. Then she said to the outside, "Come in."

Miss Qila led Yingtao and several witches from the Snake Tower and walked in respectfully, looking like they were going to report something.

No one seemed to notice anything. Except for Yingtao and Qila, no one else knew that Roland had been here for over two hours.

Catherine nodded slightly to Roland and said, "Go ahead. Straw Town is a little special. Follow Lord Usak's instructions and stay in your wizard tower. Don't wander around the town."

Under the suspicious gazes of Yingtao and Miss Qila, Roland bowed and retreated.

Looking at Roland's departing back, Catherine felt a little uncomfortable.

She didn't want to go to bed with Roland. If she had a choice, she would rather they could hug each other, do nothing, and stay together for a while.

That day, Roland had a hearty meal and then found the maid Lilith. Using the excuse of "Do you still want that territory?", he asked about Lady Catherine's bedroom, as well as the various traps and routes in the Twin Towers.

He used the tricks taught by Professor Lilith and sneaked into Princess Catherine's boudoir at night, becoming a flower thief.

The female servant lived next door to her, or rather, halfway across the wall from her, making it convenient for the female servant to take care of her master and fulfill her bodyguard duties.

When the two were having an affair, they could even hear the female officials snoring.

They didn't dare to make a noise, and fought fiercely in silence. Then Roland hugged his wife and fell asleep.

At this moment, my wife's discomfort finally disappeared.

Roland happily left the beauty in his arms before dawn the next day.

While getting dressed, Roland felt someone's gaze on him from behind. He leaned over and whispered, "Why are you awake so early?"

Sister Catherine looked at the person approaching and said softly, "Are you really going to Straw Town? That seal is still a bit dangerous. It's okay to change it. You can come to Black Abyss Territory."

The Heiyuan Territory is next to the senior sister's territory.

Roland immediately realized that he had affected his senior's Daoist heart.

She was originally a person who was pure in heart and devoted to the pursuit of truth, but now she always wanted me to accompany her.

The best way to deal with this is to cling to each other fiercely until you get tired of each other, then separate for a while, and when you miss each other again, cling to each other again.

In this way, neither of them will be affected by their mood, and both of them will have their own space. If they are far away, it will be fragrant, but if they are close, it will be smelly. If they are annoyed, it will naturally not affect their mood.

Reasonable dual cultivation.

Roland kissed her forehead tenderly, combed her long hair, and said softly, "It's the same over there. I'll set up the teleportation array or fireplace when I get there."

The senior student thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been to Straw Town yet."

She spoke with a little girl's innocent tone.

Roland smiled and said, "Aren't you going to come here for inspections more often? My honorable Earl, I am your vassal. You can reasonably fulfill your responsibilities as the head of the family."

The senior student pinched him and said, "Call me if you have any trouble."

Roland felt warm in his heart and said, "I'll call you."

The two of them hugged each other for a while, and Catherine asked about Anna again. She seemed to be still upset about Roland's faster heartbeat for Anna.

Roland made a confession somewhat helplessly: "Catherine, I'm a man. Any beautiful woman will make my heart beat faster."

Catherine whispered, "But Anna isn't human! She's taller than a mountain bear! Don't you find that strange?"

Also, her strength is no less than mine. When she was playing with you before, she only used a little bit of strength. She really wanted to tear off one of your hands, which was enough. To you, Anna is like a beautiful but terrifying beast. Would men be interested in her?

Roland sighed and whispered, "It's precisely because it's huge, dangerous, and strange that men become curious."

Catherine pinched the bastard hard.

She understood what was going on. Roland didn't like Anna, he was curious about everything powerful and dangerous.

He was as curious about Anna as he was about the ballet ghost, the coral tree, and the rainbow disease.

All dangerous and mysterious things have a fatal attraction to him.

To put it bluntly, he just likes to seek death.

Catherine suddenly felt a bit pressured. She whispered, "You always like to provoke me. Is it because I'm very dangerous?"

Roland understood Catherine's subtext and replied in a low voice: "Catherine, you do have a fatal attraction to me, but I like you not for these reasons."

Catherine's heart was about to melt. She leaned on Roland's shoulder, wanting to hear some sweet words. She asked in a low voice, "Why is that?"

Roland said sincerely, "Because you have long and white legs."

Catherine gritted her teeth and twisted her arm around his waist.

The two of them leaned against each other and exchanged many sweet words until they heard the sound of Miss Kira getting out of bed next door. Only then did Roland sneak away.

Roland, this guy, can be said to have inherited some of the true teachings of 'Master Xiata (Lilith's teacher)'. He was even able to sneak into Catherine's bedroom, and the ladies-in-waiting didn't even notice it last night!
Looking at Roland's departing back, Catherine was slightly distracted.

She suddenly realized that she was too obsessed with her relationship with Roland.

She secretly warned herself that she should focus more on her cultivation. She should always be above Roland and make sure that this stinky man couldn't catch up with her.

Roland bought a bunch of things that day and set off.

As for Lilith's matter, Catherine should give her a name.

Roland didn't want Lilith to bother him every day, he wanted to be alone.

After the promotion, I have to deal with the "prison species" and then consider whether to ask Lilith to go to Twilight to cause trouble.

The Black Abyss Academy lost a wizard apprentice named Roland, but in the territory northwest of the White Chess Council, there will be a new "quasi-living devil".

A swordsman who looked like a paladin rode a small carriage all the way west, traveling along the way.

Sometimes he would take a carriage to read, and sometimes he would ride a Foxfire when there was no one around.

Although the walk was a bit slow, he discovered all the hidden wizard settlements along the way and "lit up" many teleportation points.

During the journey, he teleported back several times and took away the gold and silver that Alfonso and Elvis had sent - eight thousand gold and eighty thousand silver.

He also reported his work to Lady Catherine. Only when both of them grew bored did Roland start to hurry on.

A few weeks later, a large carriage stopped outside a misty town.

The driver got out of the carriage and came to the back.

There were quite a few people sitting in the back, including a merchant, a few adventurers, and a tall and handsome knight.

He wore a half-new leather armor, but it was strong and durable. At his waist was a humble longsword - but that sword was made of steel.

He had a pouch slung over his shoulder and a red snake-head dagger on his waist - although the handle was rubbed with burrs, the snake head was made of pure copper!
The way he's dressed, he looks like the second son who ran away from the territory, unwilling to listen to his father's orders. He definitely doesn't even have a guard.
He is the kind of wandering knight who has some money, some ability, but is also a little ignorant of the immensity of the world.

What was a little strange was that this gentleman preferred reading, and he didn't join in the lively conversations of the merchants and adventurers next to him. Everyone tried to talk to him several times, but he remained silent.

This attitude made the merchants and adventurers a little annoyed. What were they pretending for?

Everyone who comes here has a certain background and wants to make a living.

Everyone thought the journey was boring, so they asked this kid to play cards with them. But since he didn't appreciate it, no one bothered to pay attention to him.

This wandering knight is Roland.

In fact, it wasn’t that Roland was too focused on reading.

Roland had been hanging out in various taverns since he was a child, so he was very familiar with the adventurers' ways. He even made many friends along the way.

So he just didn't want to pay attention to these people.

Because these people don't do serious work.

Generally speaking, they should be slave catchers or human traffickers.

They saw that although Roland was tall and imposing, he had no calluses on his hands, so they treated him as a fat sheep that had just come out of retirement.

So they tried to get Roland to gamble and cheat him out of his sword. Roland was too lazy to play with them and ignored them.

The driver came over, smiled with wrinkles on his face, and said to Roland, "Master Roland, we're here."

"Oh."

Roland finally came to his senses. He put away his books, walked past the adventurers who ignored him, and got off the crowded carriage.

He quietly slipped a silver coin to the driver. The driver looked down and his eyes widened. He hurriedly and carefully put the coin into his pocket, fearing that the people in the carriage would see it.

Roland asked, "I heard that this Straw Town was plagued by evil spirits before?"

The driver suddenly understood when he heard it.

It turned out to be another person who came to join in the fun.

These adventurers are really curious.

He said, "Yes, yes, but the angels of the Twilight God and the White Moon God came to deal with it. After that, it became quiet here."

The 'angel' the driver was talking about was actually a wizard.

This place is quite remote, even more remote than Valeria. Magic is not widely popularized here.

People on this secular side are like the natives, believing in this god and that god randomly.

Many secular nobles even built churches for these gods.

In fact, they regarded the UFO flying in the sky as a god.

And these UFOs are actually wizards.

Roland had become familiar with all these things along the way, so he was not surprised.

The driver said, "There's nothing left here. It's all been looted. But there's something strange about this place: you often see a lot of straw in this little town, and no one knows who made it. People from nearby villages, if they're brave enough, would come here and steal it."

Roland nodded, his expression very strange.

The driver said, "However, some people say that there are evil spirits here! But those who live nearby know how to deal with these villains. I know some tricks."

Roland couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The driver saw that Roland seemed interested in the place and knew that business was coming. He approached Roland mysteriously and whispered, "I'm actually a wizard."

"Oh?" Roland couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
