I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 190 Oh, isn’t this the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head? !

"Hey, Senior Sister is going to go into seclusion when she returns this time. I don't know when she will be able to come back. It's so deserted here."

"Pure heart and few desires, pure heart and few desires"

From that day on, Roland plunged into the world of knowledge and meditation.

He had made great progress in his knowledge. Although the twenty or so books that Instructor Usak had given him were extremely difficult to understand, Roland had a high level of comprehension and had been exposed to many mysterious events, so it didn't seem difficult at all.

He wanted to go back to the school's library several times to look up some information, but he found that he couldn't use the fireplace. Or rather, the school's teleportation array didn't allow him to pass through.

He tried to teleport to other places, but failed as well.

After some research, Roland came up with an answer - his identity was incomplete and could not be anchored.

After returning home, the senior sister went into seclusion. She asked Roland to contact her less during this period. She wanted to be pure and free from desires.

However, after a while, Ying Tao contacted Roland. Although she still didn't remember Roland, she knew that he was her junior brother.

She helped Roland choose three recipes to exchange. One was called 'Thunderbird,' a thunder-attributed meditation potion—a senior student had helped him choose. She secretly hacked Roland's credits and then gave him a secret recipe from the Alexandra family. It was incredibly effective.

There were also two other potions that Roland asked Yingtao to help him choose, one was a potion of divine attributes, and the other was a potion of wind elements.

These three potions are very powerful. If the ingredients were not very special, 300 credits would not be enough to obtain them.

Although the relevant materials are expensive, once the seeds are obtained and watered, they can be planted continuously.

Roland tried these three potions and found them to be very beneficial for meditation. Furthermore, it seemed that regular use could also enhance the power of the corresponding attributes of magic. When using the corresponding magic, one would become stronger.

This is almost a special effect that only upgrade potions have.

The original formula did not mention this kinetic energy.

Roland suspected that this was related to the potions he had used. After being accelerated to mature, they all became a little special.

Roland had often taken potions of several other elements before, and when he was promoted he also took potions of water, fire, shadow, and earth.

His magic power is relatively strong in these four elements. If he takes more potions of these four elements during his retreat, he will be able to bring the power of these four elements to the peak of his apprenticeship.

The three newly redeemed potion formulas would allow him to balance out the seven elements of his magic power, bringing them all to their full potential. This would help him advance, and after advancing, he would also gain significant benefits in various elemental magic.

In addition, Yingtao also helped Roland exchange some potions, and then sent over the two rare items.

Although the school often treats people with indifference, it is very generous in giving them benefits. They gave me a very unique mid-grade artifact, a minor top-grade item. Another was a top-grade artifact with a full range of functions.

Roland's assessment of these two artifacts was "fairly good." After using them for a bit and finding them quite useful, he put them away.

After some time, Yingtao sent some magic books.

Among them is a book about a magic shield.

Apprentices can also use magic shields, but their magic power is often insufficient to support them, and the effect is very weak. However, if they advance to full wizards, the situation will be very different.

After becoming a full-fledged wizard, those defensive items can also be powered by magic. At that time, the amount of magic energy that the item can resist is no longer limited by the magic stone. There will no longer be the situation where you need to replace the magic stone and restart the item after blocking a move.

There were also some flying magics, all related to various elements. Roland focused on studying the flying of the fire element and the lightning element.

Roland has a flying artifact of the fire element - that flint is one of them.

Once you become a formal wizard, the 'flint' will show its true effect.

Once he had mastered the techniques of lightning, and after becoming a full-fledged wizard, a suitable lightning item would allow him to fly away from the battlefield at an extremely fast speed in a short period of time, perfect for escaping from a fight.

The Thunder and Fire Blade is a very suitable rare item.

After Roland understood the flying technique, he tried out the flint and the lightning blade.

However, his magic power was far from the purity of a proper wizard, nor could it reach the level of 'elementalization', so using it was not only extremely consuming but also difficult to sustain flight, and the effect was also mediocre.

Theoretically, using the Thunderfire Blade for a short period of time should allow it to fly dozens of meters in an instant. However, in reality, it only flew a few meters. Its effectiveness was only slightly faster than the Flash Sword, making it quite useless.

This incident made Roland realize the upper limit of a wizard apprentice.

But when it comes to becoming a formal wizard, Roland is very pessimistic.

The potion Catherine had given her, for advancement to a full-fledged wizard, was of exceptional quality. It was a top-grade item. It could give a high-level apprentice, who had no chance of ever reaching the first door to truth, a 20% chance of entering.

Thus, Roland's chance of advancement increased from 0 to 20%.

If you can maximize your seven elemental powers, you might have more opportunities.

No one knew how much time had passed, but Roland never left the tower. Day after day, he did the same thing every day.

Occasionally, when he was bored, he would look through the storage bags he had 'picked up', study other people's magic notes, or make new potions.

After he understood the knowledge of magic and potions in these storage bags, he began to use 'Alchemy of Wonderful Objects' as a substitute for entertainment.

After Yingtao went to the Kingdom of Amir, no one contacted Roland again.

No one seemed to remember him anymore except Old John.

Slowly, the walls were covered with correct words. One day, Roland suddenly felt a little homesick.

He wrote some letters to Valeria's acquaintances, and of course he did not forget his dear Baron Hall and Lady Julie.

What made him devastated was that Baron Hall's reply was extremely polite, as polite as a stranger.

He thanked the wizard for sharing some of his stories with him. But he had to remind the wizard that he had sent the wrong letter.

No one in Valeria knew Roland.

Roland, never existed in Valeria.

These replies made Roland crazy for several days.

From then on, Roland forgot to write the correct characters on the wall and stopped reading magic newspapers.

The whole world has nothing to do with him anymore, because no one in this world remembers him anymore.

No. There's another one.

It's two.

In the entire world, there are only two people who still remember Roland, one of whom is a senior student who is in seclusion.

One is Leona, who runs out and secretly dances on the carpet every time the moon is full.

From the carpet that had turned into a wooden sculpture, Roland was sure that she would sneak out to dance in the middle of the night, but he tried to catch her several times but failed.

One month, Roland finally caught her.

Under Roland's mental control, Leona angrily stood upside down on the dome and danced upside down.

She couldn't 'see' Roland.

But beside her, there is a non-existent dance partner.

On this day, Roland suddenly remembered who he was.

——Aleyye.

This is a name that should not have existed. His mother really wanted to give Roland this name.

But his father resolutely changed Roland's name to Roland, which was a human name, a wizard's name.

The father no longer wanted his children to have anything to do with butterflies.

In order to keep the child away from the butterflies and his mother, he brought Roland to Valeria.

But after many twists and turns, Roland finally dreamed that he turned into a butterfly when he was sixteen years old.

"I have written my full name on Leona. She is my servant!"

Roland looked at Leona with shining eyes: "It was me who gave this little butterfly life. Real life."

At this moment, Roland temporarily regained his full name, and a strong desire to break through arose.

He couldn't suppress this desire until Leona suddenly disappeared and hid back in the book. Only then did Roland's desire for a breakthrough come to an abrupt end.

"how so?"

Roland suddenly thought of a possibility, and he broke out in a sweat. The butterfly wanted to eat him.

My own inner demon wants to replace me.

The butterfly is helping itself to advance.

Wait, what is a butterfly?
Roland grabbed his hair and said, "Who the hell is Butterfly?!"

In the following months, Roland and Leona met several more times. During these months, he also took out the 'Amber Gem' and refined his clone.

It was an evening. Roland bowed before a strange little statue in the living room, lit three incense sticks, and then went to the astrology area at the northernmost end of the house and read a book for a while.

After thinking for a moment, Roland opened the curtain of the astrology area and returned to the center of the hall.

In the center of the hall, there was a complex and strange magic circle drawn. It was like a spider web, with a huge and shriveled "gem" stuck to it.

This large, shrunken amber gem was engraved with various runes. It seemed that Roland had already completed the corresponding preparations.

Only one step remains.

Roland looked at the stars outside the 'large French window', stretched out his fingers to divine, and then sat in the magic circle, symbolizing the position of the 'Pluto'.

According to the normal process, you can sit anywhere, but many wizards like to choose an auspicious astrological position when performing alchemy.

Pluto symbolizes death, reincarnation, and starting over again!
This horoscope was obviously extremely unlucky, but Roland chose to sit here.

Looking closely, he saw a twisted statue of a god placed on a strange little wooden table on the wall opposite him.

It is the statue of the eight-armed goddess Heraka.

There are also some fruit plates and a small incense burner in front of the statue, with three incense sticks burning on the small incense burner.

If any wizard saw this strange little table, his eyes would definitely widen.

Because the fruits in the fruit plate are all extremely precious magic potion fruits, and the incense in the incense burner are also made of rare things such as soul tears, dark water roots, etc.

Roland had already worshipped the goddess before, and even sat under the statue and recited the goddess's poems for a while.

Originally, he was about to start refining after the worship, but suddenly an idea came to his mind and he went to the astrology section and flipped through the book.

By now, he had mastered the knowledge given by Instructor Usak and was fully confident in how to create a clone.

With just a little more luck, you can succeed.

"Empress Helaka, I ask for your assistance over the next few days. When my magical power reaches perfection, I will liberate all the over a thousand high-ranking monsters in Straw Town for you."

Roland muttered to himself for a while, then activated the magic circle, formed hand seals, and chanted a spell.

One after another, spells flew into the shriveled gem, and then elemental light of various colors gradually flew out from Roland's body, flying into the shriveled gem like a rainbow.

Seven days later, all the runes on the shriveled amber gem were lit up, and it looked like a shriveled monster egg as big as a human, shining brightly.

Roland, looking exhausted, took several bottles of potions, some to restore magic power, some to increase vitality, and some to strengthen the soul.

After a day of meditation, he opened his eyes, which were radiant with energy. The radiance of magic and soul almost burst out from them.

Immediately, he took out a razor and a mirror.

He let the mirror float between him and the strange egg, and the three of them formed a triangle. The mirror could just illuminate Roland and the strange egg.

Picking up the razor, Roland faced the mirror in the distance and shaved and cut his face. Every time he shaved, an extremely painful look appeared on Roland's face.

Gradually, Roland in the mirror looked emaciated, his eyes dull. Meanwhile, the strange, shrunken egg began to fill up and pulse, beating slightly.

Looking closely, the "divine bird" made of feathers in the shriveled strange egg is becoming more and more like Roland.

Roland's current state is very strange. He can't concentrate. Sometimes he feels like he is sitting here, but sometimes he feels like he is sitting in the center of the magic circle.

After a while, he suddenly felt that he was standing between 'himself (Roland)' and 'himself (egg)'.

At this moment, Roland has reached the most critical moment. Whether the clone can "survive" depends on the next few cuts.

But his soul has been cut and scarred, and his subconscious mind is also extremely resisting the act of cutting himself.

Suddenly, Roland realized that he was cutting the "self that just appeared." In the mirror, he could see many strange sawdust falling from this self's body and flying onto the egg.

Suddenly, Roland realized something was amiss. He forced himself to summon his mental strength and took a closer look in the mirror. Suddenly, his vision went dark.

That’s not who I am!

That's a puppet standing there! It's Leona!
The razor had already shaved Leona in the mirror several times. Some strange sawdust was falling from Leona's body and slowly drifting onto the egg. Then, the strange egg, which had been extremely full, quickly shrank.

[Shriveled Roland +1]

"oops!"

"Auntie, why did you come out suddenly?"

--angry

--pain

--Wronged

Suddenly, Roland felt something was wrong.

He could still feel that he was sitting in the magic circle!

That egg seems to be done!

Suddenly, Roland remembered a lot of things.

Leona didn't come out on her own.

This is something I discussed with Leona!

He asked Leona to participate at the last moment of refining the clone and complete the final step.

Yes! That's right! Leona is the most crucial, final step!
I must 'cut' her into my clone as well!

Because she has her own most complete name, and also her own most complete soul!
The sawdust absorbed by the monster eggs will become the 'anchor points for the butterflies'!
At that time, as long as he merges with his clone when he advances, the butterfly will help him advance, and his clone will also bear the butterfly calamity for him!

A strong desire to break through gradually filled Roland's heart.

He had reached the state of great perfection two months ago, and he could no longer suppress this impulse.

With a thought, the shriveled strange egg turned into a strange bird and pounced on Roland. Then, Leona also turned into a ghost and possessed the body of the strange bird.

Three 'people' become one.

At this moment, Roland felt these three selves and suddenly had an epiphany.

"Aren't the three of me the three corpses? Aren't they the Holy Trinity?!"

"Oh? My three flowers are gathering at the top of my head, three flowers are gathering at the top of my head!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it!"

Suddenly, Roland noticed something was amiss in this world. Everything seemed to be shaking.

It suddenly dawned on him. He had been sitting on the bottom of the sea the whole time!
Under the cover of night, the dark tide rolled continuously, and the large French window in front of me, the plain outside, and the starry sky were all rippled in the ripples of the tide. It looked like an oil painting thrown into a water tank.

The sea water was constantly churning up ripples, and in these ripples, the colored ink on the oil painting gradually seeped into the water.

The ripples on the water gradually took on color, forming layers in the rippling. No, that was not a water ripple.

Those are butterfly wings!

They are stacked like ripples on water, and each tiny ripple is a small butterfly, and the small butterflies form a larger butterfly. The larger butterflies form an even larger butterfly.

And I am one of the little butterflies, or a pupa that is about to transform into a butterfly.

This pupa is jumping and jumping fiercely
With a "break" sound, a hole appeared on the cocoon, and a colorful divine bird with butterfly scales slowly crawled out of the cocoon.
