I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 203 I’ll Beat You to Death! I’m Really Not Afraid of Death!

After trying out the new trick for a while, Roland discovered that when he and the bird became one, the bird's strength could be fully exerted, just like a dragon. It was definitely no less powerful than a Cyclops.

Moreover, he can also make his body bigger or smaller, but he is not very familiar with it yet, so he can only make himself taller, about two meters six.

When Roland and the divine bird merged into one, he looked like a giant coated with a layer of golden sunlight, like a demigod in ancient mythology.

He was already stronger than Anna, and he only regretted that Anna was not on the boat, otherwise he would have to wrestle with her.

Although Miss Anna was not on the ship recently, the elf lady next to Catalina always came to see Roland.

She seemed to really want to practice with Roland.

Roland didn't want to expose his magical powers in front of outsiders, so he naturally said that he didn't know swordsmanship.

The elf lady gave Roland an evaluation: a coward who is obsessed with playing with things.

Roland was too lazy to pay attention to her. He found that this elegant-looking elf lady was very stupid.

Like a savage. Looks elegant, but actually very barbaric!
Not noble and elegant at all!
However, her evaluation of Roland was absolutely correct—he was wasting his time on pleasure.

The main reason is that Roland and Her Highness Catalina have become somewhat familiar with each other recently.

Ever since Her Highness Catalina saw Roland's good things, she often called him to the semi-study room - she even often held salons on the airship.

They talked about things like artworks and antiques.

Roland was shocked to discover that the noble children of the White Chess Council were more idle than he had imagined—they were simply wasting their time on trivial matters!

At least this arrogant Princess Catalina is extremely foolish and has lost her ambition!
Although, if a wizard is very accomplished in sculpture, painting, and poetry, it will be of great help to the study of magic.

But how old is Catalina this year?
She knew too much about art, a level of knowledge that exceeded the level of research a normal wizard would have on these minor subjects.

She is obviously not doing her job properly and is a foolish little monarch.

Sending such a person to negotiate. Well, she is actually going to carry out a special mission with herself.

But it’s too unreliable to go on missions with her, right?

By the way, Miss Elf knows nothing about art.

Roland was shocked by his two female teammates, and Her Highness Catalina was also shocked by Roland.

She found that this boy's attainments in architecture, sculpture, painting, poetry, etc. far exceeded her imagination.

From the crystal balls that were spread out, she knew that this boy understood. But she didn't expect him to understand so well.

People outside say he's not serious about his job and is a playboy. And there's some truth to that.

This can be seen from the few poems he wrote casually.

After Roland's Book of Poetry spread, all the witches on the airship began to pay attention to him.

The Witch of the Abyss is also very concerned because most of Roland's poems are in the style of Heraclea.

The poetry of the Heracari style is mysterious and enchanting. Those who understand this style of poetry possess profound mastery in the dark arts. Mentor Usak, a master of Heracari poetry, is a prime example.

After a few days, Catalina became more and more familiar with Roland. She and this very rich and handsome boy who was also very idle had common interests and chatted very harmoniously.

And Catalina became more and more convinced that Roland and Catalina were the same person.

So, when the two of them were tasting wine and discussing art in the salon, she made some very imaginative moves.

But unfortunately, Roland seemed to be a blockhead and did not respond to the princess's ambiguous actions.

Her Highness Katarina seems to enjoy quietly stepping on other people's feet.

Roland had heard that Princess Catalina had many lovers. He naturally understood what the princess meant, but he pretended not to understand.

Later, when Her Highness Catalina was discussing painting with Roland, she took the initiative to ask Roland to paint a portrait of her.

They were discussing paintings in the 'Vanchar' style, a particular theological genre that focused on depicting the beauty of goddesses - often nude.

No wonder the prediction about a 3P scandal came true, this woman actually did it!

Roland agreed readily, but kept procrastinating.

A few days later, the airship passed by Catalina's territory, but it didn't even stop.

Roland almost fainted from anger.

He had thought that Katarina was a devil in sheep's clothing and that her appearance was just a disguise.

The results of it?
She is a pure sand dollar!

Roland finally understood that his two teammates were both idiots.

One is a mindless savage.

One is a bad and stupid rich second generation!

He didn't intend to be polite with this guy. He learned from an apprentice that Catalina was in the studio, so he went there directly.

There were actually two witches guarding the studio door. After seeing Roland, one of them went in to report and then led Roland inside.

After entering the room and seeing the scene inside the studio, Roland felt a little dizzy.

A beautiful and tall elf was standing on the small model stand in the studio with a shameful look on her face.

She was holding a sword in her arms and was wearing very cool clothes.

The white goddess robe looked like a bath towel or a layer of hazy white gauze.

It can be said that he is still holding a sword and half covering his body.

Originally, Roland always felt that this elf lady was a little too tall, and it was difficult for a man to feel attracted to her.

But when Catalina dressed her up so carefully, her tall figure made her look like a goddess descending to the earth, or a perfect statue of a goddess in a magnificent cathedral.

No, there was no need for artistic manipulation. Her figure was so perfect that she looked like a living statue.

She wore no helmet or visor.

Just as Roland had always guessed, this elf with emerald eyes was so beautiful.

Slightly familiar
Miss Katarina was drawing a picture for Miss Elf with a mischievous look on her face.

"Oh, Roland, you're just in time."

Catalina said with a smile, "I put a lot of effort into getting Ariana to be the model. Anyway, she lost the bet, and this is a rare opportunity. Let's each paint a picture, and then make a statue."

Ms. Katarina seems to really enjoy making bets, and her winning rate is actually quite high.

Seeing a man coming into the studio, Miss Elf was a little flustered. She had always been thinking about K Roland, and when she heard that her sister wanted that guy to paint for her, she became anxious.

He anxiously spoke something in ancient Elvish, roughly saying that Katarina had broken her promise and was a big liar.

Catalina also replied fluently in ancient Elvish, which roughly meant that there was a bet about being a model, but there was no stipulation that Roland was not allowed to paint, nor was there any stipulation about the time of being a model.

Although the airship did not stop at Catalina's territory, it is possible that someone was sent directly from the ship to deliver the items.

Considering this possibility, Roland maintained his courtesy.

He listened to them patiently until they finished arguing, and then asked very tactfully about the gift.

Catalina listened to Roland's words with a smile, then asked curiously, "Lord Roland, I don't quite understand what you mean. What gift?"

(PS: Lord is not a title, but a respectful title for nobles)
For a moment, Roland almost doubted whether he had remembered it wrongly, or whether the person in front of him was not Catalina.

It wasn't until Roland saw the corners of Catalina's mouth curl slightly, with a hint of mockery, that he suddenly understood.

He nodded deeply and said, "I've long heard that Her Highness Katarina is skilled in various kinds of magic. I've recently been researching 'Great Memory Restoration Techniques.' It just so happens that you seem to be having memory problems. After using these few of my techniques, you'll definitely be cured."

Before he could finish his words, an angry figure suddenly flashed over.

Roland raised his scabbard to block.

There was a clang of swords, and sparks flew as Roland's scabbard collided with Aliana's. Roland then took three steps back, and Aliana took half a step back.

Ariana wasn't that proficient in the common language yet, so Roland's words were a little complicated for her, so she didn't fully understand.

However, she could tell that Roland was going to teach Catalina a lesson.

She was furious, so she wanted to teach him a lesson. However, she didn't draw her sword, she used the scabbard. Roland also didn't draw his sword, he used the scabbard.

It seemed that she didn't expect that this kid would actually catch her sword. Aliana was a little surprised, and then a cold look appeared in her eyes.

It happened so quickly. Aliana took a half step back, but without stopping or even stiffening, she kicked back with the agility of a cat and charged forward again.

Roland unexpectedly blocked the sword again, but Aliana's strength was terrifying. Taking advantage of her own strength, she deliberately pushed Roland back fiercely. It looked like she wanted to pin Roland against the wall and then lift him up like a chicken to slap him.

Seeing that Roland was pushed to the ground and was about to slide to the wall, Aliana changed her mind - she wanted to pull down his pants and spank him!

At this moment, Aliana actually felt that the power coming from Roland's scabbard was getting stronger and stronger, and in the blink of an eye he stabilized his steps.

At the same time, Ariana was also shocked to find that Roland's body seemed to be getting taller and bigger, and soon he was half a head taller than Ariana.

What kind of magic is this?
In shock, Ariana suddenly felt a huge force coming from the scabbard, and she slid backwards for a long distance.

What does this guy want to do?
he thinks
Feeling the wall behind her getting closer and closer, Ariana was filled with rage. She pushed Roland away fiercely and stabbed him with her scabbard raised.

Swish, swish, swish. Two afterimages flashed by repeatedly, and it was as if a strong wind had blown through the studio, blowing canvases, curtains, and other miscellaneous items into pieces.

In a blink of an eye, they fought for several moves.

Ariana seemed to be getting serious. Roland was surprised to find that her strength, agility, and other aspects had all improved horribly, and she became stronger and stronger.

What a super powerful Anna!
It can even be said that Anna couldn't last more than a few moves in her hands!

but!

Her body was very uncoordinated and she had obvious problems with distance.

It's like a boxer with phantom limb syndrome. His arm span is only two meters, but he always thinks his arm span is three meters.

There's no way you can hit someone!

Her swordsmanship is extremely terrifying and she can be called a little sword saint.

However, it seemed as if he hadn't used a sword for many years. Although he had superb skills, he felt very clumsy.

Roland felt as if he was facing off against a patient who was recovering from a serious illness.

Roland's swordsmanship was already quite good, but he needed to reach a higher level as a wizard. After undergoing the hellish training in Straw Town, his intuition, reaction, experience, and dodging skills were truly terrifying.

Her dodge value was already ridiculously high, and after merging into one with the bird, she became even more elusive. Meanwhile, when Ariana attacked, she made all sorts of mistakes.

Even if this was the case, Aliana was a powerful physical cultivator at the peak of the late first stage and should not have been defeated by Roland.

But she had too many concerns when drawing her sword - she was wearing such an inconvenient outfit!
After noticing Roland's strange gaze, she felt angry and ashamed, and her mood was affected, causing her to hesitate before drawing her sword.

This gave Roland the upper hand!

But, but!

Roland became increasingly frightened as the fight continued. Elf Lady Aliana seemed to be rapidly familiarizing herself with her body and resuming her swordsmanship.

Within thirty moves, he would have to fill up both her physical and sword skills.

In the 31st move, she can kill herself in one second!
After more than a dozen moves, Roland became familiar with her routine and seized one of her mistakes. He held the hilt and scabbard of the sword with both hands, used a classic knight's disarmament move, swung the sword out of Aliana's hand, and then kicked her in the knee.

Aliana fell down with a cry of "ouch", and then Roland's scabbard was placed on her chin.

shame!

Shameful and angry to death!

She never expected that she would be defeated like this in her first battle after recovery!

If I could recover for another week. No, even in three days, I would be able to pin him to the ground and beat him!

She refused to accept it! She refused to accept it!

Looking at Ariana's angry and ashamed look, Roland broke out in a cold sweat.

But I've already pretended to be this arrogant, I can't lose face!

He snorted, mockingly saying, "You're truly a greenhouse flower, without any real combat experience. Your martial arts skills are wasted in vain."

Roland put away his sword and the divine bird with a look of disdain on his face and looked at Catalina.

As a result, before he could say anything, he felt a pain in his wrist.

Roland looked at Aliana in disbelief and found that this guy was actually biting his hand!

He never expected that this little swordsman was not only weak, but also had no martial ethics!
"Aliana!"

Catalina scolded her, and Ariana slapped her lips fiercely, then relaxed and looked at Roland viciously.

Roland cried out in pain and saw blood oozing from his wrist.

He almost ran out of breath and fainted.

These two pig teammates!

One is a barbarian!
A spoiled and hateful one!
What made Roland even more upset was that he and his senior brother had fought hard for this spot!
As for the compensation, the senior apprentices of the Snake Tower received a monthly salary of 4 magic stones, while the full-fledged wizards received 8.

Seeing Ariana's smug and provocative look, Roland was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He held his bleeding wrist and pointed at the two women and said, "You, you are really going too far!"

Catalina shook her head, suddenly losing her shrewd look.

She asked, "You get angry easily after just a few words. You're really not easy to tease. They're just a few small gifts. Can I withhold them without permission?"

Roland cursed in his heart.

He had heard about what kind of person he was in the past few days.

The reputation is very bad, or rather, the reputation among apprentices is very bad.

Katarina is one of those people like 'Elena' and 'Orea'.

When he was an apprentice, he often bullied others.

He's extravagant and selfish, with no sense of the bigger picture.

She is really capable of taking away other people's things.

After all, she is stronger.

Given her status and realm, she could only swallow her anger when she was bullied. So she did a lot of such immoral things.

However, she has status. If she does something immoral in private, she does it in private.

If she really encounters someone who is not afraid of death and is determined to make a fuss or report it to the higher-ups, she doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

But Roland was a tough guy with thorns, not the type to swallow his anger. So he really started to make trouble.

Therefore, according to Catalina's personality, she would definitely try to smooth over her words. After all, the matter had become a big deal, and it was not a good look.

Therefore, when she said, "It's just a joke, why do you take it seriously?", Roland knew that this guy was going to take a step back.

Roland's purpose today was clear: to get his things back. As long as she agreed, he would give her a way out. After taking her things, he turned around and left.

Catalina asked, "Don't you usually communicate with Katherine?"

Roland had carefully looked at the parchment before coming out, but there was no information on it.

But he couldn't say that, so he said, "Your Highness, I'm not familiar with Her Highness Catherine, and she was in seclusion recently, so I didn't disturb her. Has she received the gift?"

What surprised Roland was that Catalina didn't go down the stairs directly, but sneered.

This made Roland confused and he didn't realize what he had just said had made her so angry.

"Roland, given your reputation, do you think I would believe you if you said that my relationship with my sister was innocent?"

Roland suddenly understood.

No wonder she sneered just now—she was showing contempt.

Ugh.
Seeing Roland sighing and remaining silent for a long time, Catalina asked a curious question: "Roland, are you sure you can beat me?"

Roland said, "No."

Catalina frowned. She had thought that this guy had become ignorant of the world after practicing in Straw Town for a few years.

So she asked curiously: "Then why do you dare to be rude to me?"

Roland answered directly, "Sir, I can't, and I don't dare. Besides, I may not be unable to do it."

Catalina nodded deeply. She looked at Roland and said, "Lord Roland, it seems you are truly not afraid of death."

Roland said nothing.
