I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 187 I got it! Haha, I got it!

"Fruit and vegetable salad, stir-fried green beans, shredded potatoes with green peppers, beef stew with persimmons, stir-fried magic frog, braised colorful fish, eggplant box. And this, um, let's call it ice cream."

Catherine and Yingtao looked at the names of the dishes that Roland called out, with extremely strange expressions on their faces.

The dishes on the table were obviously cooked with various magic potions, but Roland gave them strange names.

Coupled with the strange method, the two of them could not recognize the original names of the potions.

Catherine curiously poked a green bean with a fork and asked, "Is this a devil's sunflower?"

This thing was clearly not a devil's sunflower, and certainly not a green bean. But Roland gave it a thumbs-up and said, "Master, you have good eyesight."

Yingtao stared at the 'fruit and vegetable salad' with wide eyes and said, "These 'fruits' are potions, right? Also, what kind of mushrooms are these?"

She looked at the 'persimmon' in 'beef and persimmon dumplings' and asked with a strange expression, "And is this a wolfberry? It's something foxes eat, right? It's poisonous, right?"

Roland really wanted to say, "Aren't you a fox?"

But he wisely gave another explanation. He said, "Your Excellency Baron Yingtao, I certainly wouldn't poison myself. You guys hurry up and eat. I'll go remove the ghost fog. I'll come back and eat after you've finished eating."

As he spoke, Roland took off his apron and wanted to leave.

A delicate hand grabbed his sleeve. Roland turned around and saw Miss Yingtao's smiling face.

"Maester Roland, I've already troubled you enough by asking you to work part-time as a cook. The ghost fog isn't urgent, and it will be faster if we work together tomorrow. Let's sit down and eat together."

Roland hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Yingtao, as an apprentice without a title, it is not in accordance with the rules of Heiyuan for me to have dinner with you two masters. I will serve you on the side."

Ying Tao reached out and pushed Roland into his seat. "Hey~~ It's just a private dinner, there's no need for so many formalities. You're Earl Catherine's disciple, and you've worked so hard here guarding her territory. It's just a private dinner, there's no need for so many formalities. Let's eat together."

Roland thought to himself, "Something's really wrong. Not only do people no longer recognize me, they also don't remember who I am! My title and name are gone!"
Seeing that Roland still didn't sit down, Lady Catherine was a little displeased. She nodded coldly and said, "Sit down."

Roland picked up the spoon and served the two noble ladies soup. After serving them, he sat down.

Catherine and Yingtao kept asking Roland to sit down and eat with them, but they didn't eat a single bite and just sat there watching Roland eat.

Roland was enjoying his bread and soup, while Baron Yingtao, beside him, kept filling his plate with vegetables, smiling.

It wasn't until they saw Roland eat every potion that they looked at each other suspiciously and looked at the dishes seriously.

It looks like dark cuisine!
How can you cook like this!
And that frog, only the old witches in folk legends would eat frogs, right?
But this guy seems to be eating very happily.

Miss Yingtao first carefully tried the 'Stir-fried Magic Frog' which seemed the most unpalatable and strangest, and then her expression became extremely wonderful.

It was surprisingly delicious.

After tasting the other dishes, Miss Yingtao's expression became more serious.

These dishes are delicious. But here's the problem.

She put down her fork, squinted her eyes, looked at Roland for a long time, and asked, "Who are you?"

Roland also put down what he was holding. He calmly wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, looked at Miss Yingtao and said, "My lord, I am from Valeria. These are all Valeria's hometown dishes."

Yingtao's eyes became more dangerous. She said, "Don't play tricks, little brat. In our world, there is no such recipe, nor such dining habits."

As she spoke, she looked at the pair of 'chopsticks' that Roland had just put down.

Catherine kept eating. She said, "Eat, Yingtao, these are fine. Roland used to make these when he was with me."

Ying Tao's face looked strange for a moment, then she smiled at Roland. "Master Roland, I'm really envious of the Earl. I get to taste your cooking every day."

Roland smiled and chatted with Yingtao, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

He had never used chopsticks in front of Katherine, nor had he ever cooked these dishes - where were the potions in Valeria? And how could there be any potions that could replace spices?
Even if you manage to make it, the taste will never be the same.

But Catherine thought that she used to eat these things herself!

She approved a setting that doesn't exist!
In fact, Roland deliberately did these suspicious things today because he wanted to confirm one thing - who is Butterfly in Catherine's eyes, and who is Roland.

Or, in Catherine's eyes, is it reasonable for 'Roland' to understand these things?

It was obvious that Roland was his predecessor, and he was clearly a local native.

But why does Catherine think that she should be able to cook Chinese food?!
Not only did she think these things were reasonable, she even thought that she had eaten these things!

Suddenly, Roland suddenly remembered his crazy theory.

[You've achieved enlightenment! Potions +10!]

[You have achieved enlightenment! Realm of enlightenment value.]

He suppressed his desire to talk to himself, to avoid saying something crazy, to avoid the three of them going crazy together.

His mind was in turmoil, his heart wandering in the heavens. But when he came to his senses, he found that he had been chatting with Ying Tao enthusiastically, and had even poured some wine for the two ladies.

When his attention was focused on the dining table, he found that he had perfectly picked up Yingtao's witty remark and even played a little joke on this charming lady in a very humorous way - if you think about it carefully, it was a little bit obscene.

I don’t know what Roland said before, but the smile on Miss Vixen’s face became even more intense.

At this moment, Roland actually felt a high-heeled shoe accidentally step on his foot. The step was a little heavy, with a hint of "let you go wild, punish you."

She stepped on Roland's foot and stopped moving.

Roland's heart was pounding.

He quietly looked at Lady Catherine and found that she was eating with dignity, with no expression on her face.

Roland didn't dare tease Ying Tao anymore, fearing that this guy would do something out of line again.

He stood up courteously and gave Lady Catherine some more soup.

After he stood up, he finally put his foot down.

After that, Roland deliberately pretended to be serious and stern when talking to Miss Yingtao, and repeatedly showed his courtesy to Lady Catherine. He acted like he was Lady Catherine's lickspittle and had no interest in anyone else.

He thought that Miss Yingtao would be quieter this way.

But who knew that he would feel the high heel shoe always 'accidentally' touching his calf, intentionally or unintentionally.

Roland's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned very ugly.

This vixen!
Why do you tease me the more I ignore you?
He couldn't help but deal with Miss Yingtao's words carefully, and pretended to have low emotional intelligence.

But perhaps it was because of his earlier playful banter that the other person took this "performance" as a joke. Or perhaps it was because Yingtao's emotional intelligence was too high, but the vixen actually used a very amusing joke to pick up on Roland's words—this time, it seemed as if Roland had just been deliberately flirting with her!

Then, the foot stepped on Roland lightly.

Roland complained bitterly.

He thought to himself, "It's okay, it's okay. Catherine treats me as the Roland of the past. She has no feelings for me now. So even if she finds out that Miss Vixen and I are having an affair, it won't be a problem."

Roland comforted himself with these words.

Since Catherine wouldn't take his flirting with Miss Yingtao seriously, Roland changed his mind and simply let it go!
Next, the atmosphere at the table became more and more cheerful, and Miss Yingtao's favorability level increased by four or five points.

And the high-heeled shoe was stepping harder and harder. It couldn't be said that it was stepping, it was almost crushing.

Just when Roland was feeling a little strange, Miss Yingtao's crystal ball suddenly lit up. She apologized and took the crystal ball to the 'large floor-to-ceiling window'.

But the high heel on Roland's instep was still crushing it hard.

Roland: “?”

He raised his head in surprise and looked at Catherine.

Lady Catherine also raised her head at this time. Her face was cold and her eyes were full of murderous intent.

She said, "Do you want to die?"

Roland: “???”

There was a crackling sound from Roland's foot. This time, Roland felt the pain. His vision went dark, and he almost cried out in pain.

It turns out that it was Catherine who had been stepping on Roland all along.

She kept stepping hard, venting her anger.

But Roland had thick skin, so he felt neither light nor heavy - it felt like a young lady was flirting with him.

Come to think of it!

Miss Yingtao is indeed a vixen, but no matter how much she loves to joke, she wouldn't flirt with a stranger she meets for the first time like this, right?

What's more, she was wary of Roland.

After a few more meals, I'll get to know Roland better.

This kind of trick under the table can only be done by someone who is very, very familiar with you, or even someone who has had many such relationships.

Roland was in pain, looking at Catherine in confusion for a long time. He whispered, "How do you know me?!"

Catherine sneered, "Master Roland, you're truly remarkable. You thought I didn't recognize you, and you started flirting with someone else right in front of me?"

There was another crisp sound on Roland's feet. He almost cried out.

He now feels like Dou E!
I am not flirting at all. I am flirting, I am so wronged!
Also, you're pretending to be a peach, what do you mean by stepping on me? Is this a sting operation?!

Roland now felt unwell.

Let’s put the flirting aside for now.

How could Catherine think that 'Roland' had such a relationship with her?
Or in other words, why are her memories of herself complete?

If her memory of herself was complete, it meant that in her eyes, Roland and she were the same person!

What's the reason?
I am a time traveler! My soul has traveled through time!

The name Roland is the name of his predecessor!
How could I be Roland? !
At this moment, Miss Yingtao sat back down, and Catherine hurriedly tried to withdraw her foot, but Roland clamped his legs together and held it there.

There was a hint of panic in Catherine's eyes, but she pretended nothing had happened and lowered her head to eat.

How could this behavior look like someone who had forgotten about himself?
Roland couldn't hold it in any longer.

Suddenly, that crazy theory appeared in Roland's mind again - he even thought of the "evil demon Leonard" in the yellow-brown fern forest.

I am indeed a time traveler, but I am not a soul traveler.

I am the same as Leonard!
The moment you appear in the world, you already exist!

Therefore, Catherine rationalized the logic that she could cook these special dishes!

Because of this, she even thought she had eaten her own cooking!

[You have achieved enlightenment! Mystical understanding +10]

[You have achieved enlightenment! Helaka's understanding of the Book of Poetry +8]

[You have achieved enlightenment! Realm of Enlightenment +]

With a bang, Roland suddenly slammed the table.

Ying Tao: “???”

Catherine: “???”

Roland looked at the two men with red eyes. He suppressed his urge to say something crazy and said, "Eat ice cream."

The two young ladies picked up the ice cream woodenly and started eating it.

Roland nodded in satisfaction, a smile on his face.

He didn't eat a single bite of the ice cream.

He then attentively served the two noble ladies their meal. Lady Catherine was very pleased with Roland's subsequent hospitality, and the dinner ended happily.

After the meal, Roland was very gentlemanly and attentive and prepared a pot of normal magic potion tea for the two noble ladies.

The two noble ladies drank tea and chatted, while Roland stood by and served them without drinking a sip of tea.

Overall, Mistress Catherine was quite satisfied with Roland's performance today. After giving him a few words of praise, she ignored the little servant and went to rest—she was feeling particularly sleepy today.

That’s right, I usually go to bed at 6:30.

After a nap, I woke up around ten o'clock to work, read, and study magic. At two o'clock, I began meditating until dawn.

It's already past nine o'clock. I'm so sleepy.

Miss Yingtao was also particularly tired today. She yawned and chatted with Roland for a while.

This guy seemed to be chatting with Roland, but in fact he was trying to get information from him, trying to find out his background. In a playful manner, he got a lot of things out of Roland's past.

Roland knew what this guy was thinking, but Yingtao was already an acquaintance of his, she just didn't know it. Naturally, he answered whatever he asked and told him the truth.

After receiving satisfactory information, Miss Yingtao felt relieved about Roland.

She looked around the room and said, "Lady Catherine and I will occupy your bed tonight. You can sleep on the sofa."

As she spoke, Miss Yingtao rubbed her eyes, feeling something was wrong, but her head was now dizzy and her thinking ability was very poor.

Suddenly, she felt something was wrong.

Even if I usually go to bed early, there's no way I'd be this sleepy!
At this moment, she suddenly discovered that the brat had actually picked herself up.

"what are you doing?!"

Roland smiled and said, "Miss Yingtao, you seem unable to walk anymore. Let me help you."

A flash of thunder rumbled through Yingtao's mind, and she regained consciousness. She cast a few spells but used them incorrectly. She pushed Roland hard, only to find that she seemed to be dreaming. Then she lost consciousness.

"You're already asleep, but you're still so restless. Don't move around."

Roland placed Yingtao on the sofa.

In just one hour, Roland's foot injury was almost healed. His vitality was extremely strong. If he were stronger, he would probably be able to catch up with the troll.

He looked at Miss Yingtao on the sofa.

Miss Yingtao was dressed particularly charmingly today. Roland looked at the beautiful witch, who had fainted on the sofa, from head to toe for a long time. Then he positioned Miss Yingtao and reached for her belt.

After taking out the storage bag from his belt, Roland tried to use his mind to explore the small, sachet-like storage bag, but his mind was blocked by the sachet.

Roland was not in a hurry. He opened the small mouth of the sachet with his hand, looked inside with one eye open for a while, and then his eyes moved slightly.

He searched in his dimensional bag for a while and found a very thin wire. He made a small hook and then stuck some mucus on the hook.

After that, he stuck the wire in and hooked it for more than half an hour before finally making something out.

These are some internal documents of the Snake Tower.

Roland's name was clearly on one of the documents.

"I've clearly found the name 'Roland' back, but the people in the Snake Tower still ignored me. I'm clearly Roland, but they mistook me for someone else!"

Roland became more and more certain of his guess.

Yingtao was a representative of someone who treated herself as another person. Roland had now confirmed the key information from her—perhaps only Catherine treated herself as "one person."

I and I are actually one person, so except for me and Catherine, everyone else in this world is crazy!
