I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 186 Brother-in-law is going to drug you!
In the next few days, Roland went to the vicinity of the town several times and completely arranged the ghost fog.

Since then, Straw Town has disappeared, but a strange mist often appears in its place. This scene is exactly the same as the Human Skin Town on the mountaintop near Nadar Town.

It is clearly on the top of the mountain, but even if you look at it in fogless weather, it is bare.

Ever since Roland took back the name 'Roland', the ghost maid remembered who her master was.

But the maids had an attitude of "You already know everything, so I won't pretend anymore."

They often gossiped among themselves in front of the master. When they spoke to each other, they couldn't make any sound, but communicated through their minds. Roland didn't know what they were talking about and was very annoyed.

Occasionally, when he secretly looked at the maids from behind, the maids would suddenly turn around and look at their master with contempt.

You have your own ideas. It's understandable that you let them lift their skirts and show you their underwear.

But I understand that you, the nun, didn't let it go.

But the eldest sister, Hong Jia Niang, is a monster! A monster that specializes in sucking blood and flesh, a monster like a leech!
What do you mean by designing a skirt with a big slit for her?
Master, are you still a human being?
As the priest of the goddess Heraclea, can you please set a good example?

Trash! Pervert!
Think about it, a group of beautiful nuns/maids often walk around you with their hips swung, looking down on you as if you were trash. How would you feel?

Master Roland felt very angry.

He punished these ignorant maids a little and satisfied his curiosity.

Well. I didn’t expect these nuns to be so fashionable.

The favorability ratings of the maids dropped dramatically, but Roland didn't care at all. He even asked the nuns to design a nun's robe with a large slit.

The maids' favorability towards the master dropped significantly, and they looked at him with even more contempt.

Especially the Red Bride, who was bullied so badly. Before, because of her great strength, she could lie on the master and the master would not dare to say a word.

Now that Young Master Roland had been promoted, she dared not act rashly. Naturally, she would be punished.

Roland designed a dress for her that looked like both a nun's uniform and a red wedding dress—with a red bellyband.

Blasphemy!

It's a blasphemy to Lady Helaka!
He thought he could bully his maid arrogantly, but the next day, Roland was so scared that he was sweating profusely and never dared to mess around again.

Naturally, the maids didn't dare to do anything to the master, and they didn't even dare to resist his bullying.

So, they didn't do anything. After being bullied, they just knelt on the ground and prayed to the goddess Helaka.

Roland was horrified.

Although the nuns are all his subordinates, they are also nuns under the command of Queen Helaka!

If they report the strange things they did to them to Queen Helaka,
By that day, the work in the tower was almost done, and the fireplace was repaired by the banshees and nuns.

Roland used this as an excuse to call everyone over and rewarded them with four and a half bottles of Soul Tears. Each of the seven nuns received half a bottle, and the nun in red, the bride, had one bottle all to herself.

Many maids were delighted.

Although the master is not a serious person, the salary he pays is really high.

Seeing the looks from the maids saying, "Master, you're smart. Just forget about teasing the nuns," Grandpa Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

He saw the favorability ratings of the crowd rising rapidly. He thought to himself, "That's not bad. Although these little girls are disrespectful, at least they know who pays their wages."

"Four bottles of Soul Tears can fill up my favorability. Forget it, Roland, don't go too far. Although he is your subordinate, he has a strong backing and a strong background!"
"Humans and ghosts are on different paths! Just let it go for the fun of watching it."

The entire tower has been completely renovated and finally looks a bit like home.

Roland took out the 'Shepherd's Sapling' and a bunch of potions he had carefully preserved, and asked the ghost servants to place them in the 'big chimney' downstairs. He then gave them a book on potions.

With the shepherd's saplings here, even if you throw the potion in the cracks of the bluestone, it will grow well.

After the eight ghost servants picked up the Potions book and a pile of potions, they carried these items across the floor and disappeared to the top floor.

"It turns out they can carry items through walls. My ghosts are becoming more and more powerful."

Roland went downstairs and stood on the steep stone steps, looking down for a while.

He saw Hong Ling holding the Shepherd Tree's 'Fire Vine Ball Cage' and doing some strange things in the center of the tower. Then some strange runes appeared in the air, and some ghost hands appeared in the shadows. Then, the Fire Vine Ball Cage was suspended there.

"What kind of rune is that? A rune of the underworld?"

Roland was secretly amazed.

After another look, the nuns also understood a little bit.

I have never taught you these things.

It seems that after reaching a certain level of cultivation, demons and ghosts can learn many things without a teacher.

He wrote down the runes and went upstairs.

The furniture, bookshelves, beds, etc. were all repaired. Even the carpet on the floor was repaired.

The top floor of the tower was less than a hundred square meters, with no partitions. The maids had modified the interior layout to suit their own ideas, and it was quite good.

The whole pattern secretly conforms to some 'feng shui' - or corresponds to certain stars.

I don't know what kind of astrology that is, but it looks like it has some clues. However, although it looks good, it also feels a bit awkward.

After taking a closer look, Roland's face turned grim.

This small cave of his own subtly echoed two astrological signs: one and a half rooms symbolized 'exuberant life', while the other half represented 'silent death'.

"Okay, it's appropriate for people and ghosts to live together, one yin and one yang."

Looking up, Roland noticed a large curtain hanging from the ceiling. These past few days, while they were working, the ghost ladies would hide under the curtain during the day and wouldn't let Roland in to see.

He was quite curious.

Roland used magic to lift the curtain, and his expression became extremely strange.

It turned out to be an upside-down house.

"Oh, these frivolous guys are really getting along with me. They quietly got a room upstairs. Well, they're doing quite well."

The house was fully furnished with furniture and other items, but it was upside down. It looked eerie and strange. If someone lived there, they would be standing upside down.

There were also some looms on top, and next to them was a small basket filled with a lot of white smoke that was howling and wriggling. It seemed to be made of soul essence.

They are weaving cloth with souls.

Inside, some erotic clothes were hung out to dry. The small window in the dome was covered with a black cloth, but at midnight, if the cloth was lifted, the moonlight would shine into the room, allowing the clothes to be hung out to dry.

The whole room was damp and eerie, with a semi-basement smell.

"Hmm, it's quite romantic. So, this is the semi-basement where my servants live?"

It was a bit harsh for a lord to ask his servants to live in a damp and cold semi-basement. It was suitable for work, but not for living.

But it is very appropriate for ghosts to live in such a place.

However, it is a bit unlucky to have a group of ghosts living on your head. But Roland is a little different.

He studied necromancy and was a minor official in the River Styx. The ghosts he tamed lived like this, so they could actually protect him from some of the dark disasters.

From now on, when Roland is in retreat, the ladies on his head will be able to protect him.

After accidentally glancing at the sexy clothes, Roland coughed and closed the curtain.

Behind him, a beautiful ghost lady ran up to get something. Seeing the master peeping into her room, she looked at him strangely and expressed her dissatisfaction.

Young Master Roland had just peeped into other people's privacy, and he felt guilty. He coughed awkwardly and went to the window.

It's drizzling outside. Spring has arrived these days.

The windows on the top floor of the tower are incredibly large. Due to a shortage of building materials, several walls remain unfinished. However, the ghost ladies have done a good job designing this place, giving it a unique and charming feel.

At this moment, Roland felt the fireplace behind him inexplicably ignite. Then, two extremely powerful magical fluctuations flashed through the fireplace.

He turned around in surprise and saw two young ladies with cold expressions.

It was Lady Catherine and Miss Yingtao.

Roland hadn't contacted his senior for the past few days, and he was a little worried.

He bowed respectfully to the two of them, then secretly observed Catherine's expression.

What made Roland feel a little strange was that Catherine's expression was extremely cold, as if she was not familiar with him.

Miss Yingtao, on the other hand, looked completely as if she didn't recognize Roland. When she saw him, she actually looked him up and down, as if she were examining him.

After seeing Roland salute with his hands on his chest, Catherine glanced at him indifferently. Then, without even nodding, she walked past Roland and inspected the tower - typical Alexandra arrogance.

Roland felt strange.

After looking around, Catherine nodded, said "not bad", and sat down on the chair.

Then, like a mentor, she asked about the seal of Straw Town and gave a stern warning.

She said, "Guarding this place is a heavy responsibility. I hadn't originally considered handing it over to you. But I promised you that I would let you choose a fiefdom. So after much hesitation, I decided to hand it over to you. I know you're interested in the occult, but you must not tamper with the seal of Straw Town."

You must be careful and not neglect your duties."

After giving some very serious instructions, Lady Catherine took out a bottle of potion.

Lady Catherine said, "As my disciple, although you are not talented, I am still willing to give you a chance to touch the 'First Gate of Truth'. This potion can help you advance. Use it when you are ready. Don't waste it."

It turned out that this was a potion for becoming a formal wizard.

Roland hurriedly bowed in thanks, then carefully put the potion away.

Ying Tao, who was standing by, finally understood what was happening. It turned out that the young lady's fiancé was actually her disciple.

After giving Roland some lecture, Lady Catherine asked him about Straw Town.

Roland half-truthed and half-seriously lied. Since he had been there before, his words were not flawless.

After listening to this, Lady Catherine nodded and said, "It's quite thoughtful of them to use this method to hide the town. Well, let's go and take a look."

Roland's heart skipped a beat.

He looked beyond the collapsed wall. Standing here, he had a good view. He could see ten miles away.

In the eyes of others, there was nothing there.

But in Roland's eyes, there was a prosperous and wealthy town, with a fire burning faintly inside the town.

It's just the beginning of spring, and it gets dark early. It was already three in the afternoon, and with the rain, the sky was very dark. But the fire lit up the sky brightly.

Roland said, "Master Mentor, it will take three hours to clear this ghost fog. By the time we're done, it will be dark. Straw Town is a mysterious place after all, so it's not advisable to go there at night. How about we go together tomorrow morning?"

Hearing this, Miss Yingtao on the side could not help but frowned secretly and looked outside the 'large floor-to-ceiling window'.

She had some knowledge about Straw Town and had never heard that it was not allowed to go there at night.

Thinking about the fact that this place was hidden, Yingtao couldn't help but feel something was wrong. Could there be something wrong with the seal?
After hearing this, Lady Catherine frowned. She immediately stood up and walked to the large French window, hands behind her back, and watched for a long time.

After a moment, she turned around and looked at Roland, a hint of sneer in her eyes.

Long ago, when the two lived together, Teacher Catherine would always smile like this when she thought Roland was playing tricks and wanted to punish him.

Roland thought to himself, "What the hell is going on? After I changed my name, have all the things related to me disappeared from everyone's memory?"

'My future wife seems to have forgotten me!'

"Based on how much Catherine liked me before, even if she liked me perfectly, seeing the state of Straw Town now, she would have chopped me down with a palm!"
"What should I do? This is like murdering my husband!"

Thinking only takes a moment.

He said respectfully, "My Lords, it's not that I made any mistakes. It's just that there are many details about Straw Town that we are unaware of."

Roland explained everything about Old John and the locals, then added, "I've thoroughly investigated and interviewed these people. Although the words of these worldly people can't be trusted, the matter of Straw Town is of great importance, so it's better to believe it than not. You two can rest in the tower tonight. I'll take you there tomorrow."

Lady Catherine thought for a while, then looked at her lady-in-waiting, Miss Yingtao, and asked about her itinerary for tomorrow.

Miss Yingtao said something cleverly - the gist of it was, you've been bored to death lately.

But that's not what she said, after all, there were outsiders here.

So, it sounds like it's been busy.

After listening to this, Catherine thought about it again and said that she would put off those unimportant things, go back today and come back tomorrow.

The two chatted for a while, ignoring Roland, and then walked towards the fireplace.

Lady Catherine is of noble status and has no habit of staying out overnight. She will naturally leave tonight.

But when entering the fireplace, it seemed to have a problem. It couldn't be teleported.

Roland hurried over to check it out.

It’s strange, the fireplace had just been repaired, so why did it suddenly have problems?
Roland couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

He lit the fireplace over here, while Lady Catherine was leisurely drinking tea and watching the rain.

As a result, Roland was so busy that he even ate dinner and got himself into a mess, and he didn't even fix the fireplace.

He said, "My lord, I'm afraid you two will have to rest in the tower for the night. My fireplace hasn't been fully repaired yet, and you two just forced it open, completely ruining it."

Catherine looked at Roland and said gloomily, "What do you mean? Are you blaming me?"

Roland hurriedly said respectfully, "I dare not."

Ying Tao helped out by saying, "Sir, a round trip is time-consuming and exhausting. This tower has a unique environment and plenty of curtains. Why not stay here for the night?"

Seeing Lady Catherine nod, Miss Yingtao glanced at Roland with a half-smile and said, "Please also ask Maester Roland to remove the ghost fog tonight. That way, if there's any movement in the town at night, we'll be able to see it clearly from here and provide timely support."

She seemed to suspect that this boy had done something in Straw Town.

Roland cursed inwardly, "Why did they come to check on me at this hour? It would have been fine if they just checked, but the fireplace is broken. What should I do? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have fixed it."

Roland always felt that it was a coincidence that the fireplace broke.

Lady Catherine and Yingtao were standing in front of a large French window not far away, talking about something. Roland glanced at Lady Catherine with a suspicious look on his face, and found that Lady Catherine was also secretly looking at him.

Catherine frantically averted her gaze. Roland's thoughts raced through his mind, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

He had a very crazy guess.

Once this guess is verified, I will be able to use it to survive the butterfly calamity!
Roland couldn't help but look at Lady Catherine's butt again.

He had a very bold idea, which could verify this crazy theory!
After thinking of a plan, he asked the two adults if they had any other instructions, and then went downstairs to get the food and prepare dinner for them.

When he passed by the Big Chimney, he checked the potions transplanted by the ghost servants and collected some of them as spices and vegetables.

He was reluctant to light a fire upstairs, so he built a stove downstairs. After collecting some potions, he started cooking downstairs.

Elsewhere, after Roland left, Lady Catherine took out a strange little crystal ball with snake-like patterns. The crystal ball projected Roland's movements from the perspective of his fingers.

Not only can it monitor, this small surveillance camera can also speak.

Little Jimmy: Sister, sister. My brother-in-law has been doing a lot of weird things lately. He even peeped into the ghost ladies' underwear. I wonder if he's drugged you and Yingtao!

Catherine narrowed her eyes.
