I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 208: Azazel and the Swan, Heracles' Funeral

Elvish is a very complex language, and Roland has not had enough exposure to it. He is the type of person who has no problem with reading, but has poor listening and speaking skills.

Ariana spoke with an ancient accent, so Roland didn't really understand.

He understood Aliana's words as: I respect your breath, you win, you are strong, a strong future, I listen to you, let's go.

No wonder, the orthodox high elves were very civilized. Compared with them, humans in the Middle Ages were barbarians.

So Roland could never have imagined that this lady who looked so elegant could be so wild at heart.

Roland thought he had earned the elf lady's respect and that she was convinced by his beating, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He said politely: I also respect your breath, you are also strong, and you have an even stronger future.

The elf lady was sometimes quite shy, and after hearing Roland's 'praise', her face turned red with embarrassment.

Then, her eyes became inexplicably hot and she began to struggle hard to break free from the rope.

That wonderful object seemed to be about to be broken.

Roland's heart was filled with cold sweat, and he thought to himself: "This girl is letting me win! If she really wants to fight, my magic weapon can't control her for more than a few seconds. It seems that she is still very worldly-wise. A contest is a contest. After making a mistake and losing to me, she won't resist."
When Roland saw that the elf lady was so knowledgeable about the ways of the world, he quickly put the rare item away to prevent it from being destroyed by her.

This rope costs at least five or six hundred magic stones.

As a result, just as he put away the rope, Miss Aliana broke the dozen or so bone fists with a crackling sound, and then rushed over.

Roland was knocked to the ground by her in a daze and rode on her body.

Just when Roland looked confused, the elf lady kissed him.

Roland thought she was going to bite him to death, and was horrified. He used his arms to block her and cursed: Why don't you follow the rules?

Miss Elf was slightly stunned, and said angrily: Our rules, complete the ceremony, and have a strong future.

Roland was confused when he heard this, thinking that there must have been some misunderstanding in the communication just now, which led to her acting so strangely.

Now it seemed that Miss Aliana could also communicate, so he asked his clone to stop channeling the forbidden transformation technique and try to communicate with her first.

Roland said: "Human rules, you listen to me. Let's find Catalina first, together."

After hearing this, the elf lady looked at Roland in disbelief, and then fell into a moral dilemma.

After a moment, she seemed to have figured something out and her face flushed.

The elf said, "My rules are not like this. But you win, my future partner. Respect the strange rules of humans. Let's become partners together."

Although Roland's face was filled with question marks, he generally understood what he said.

He translated it for himself: According to elf rules, he didn't really win against her just now. But according to human rules, he won, so she accepted him as her future partner. Perhaps she'd even compete with him later?
In the mess, Aliana got off Roland and pulled Roland up.

Roland brushed off the dust on his body with a strange look on his face, and then he heard the elf lady say: You have to beat her.

Roland said: I don't need to win, we are also partners, future partners.

What he meant was that Katarina and I were teammates even without fighting. Or maybe we could become teammates in the future depending on the situation.

The two of them were talking at cross purposes, and no one knew what Miss Aliana understood Roland's words to be. But after listening to him, she suddenly understood.

She said: You can see that you are future partners. You have defeated her many times. She cried and she respected you.

Roland was confused.

When did he promise to beat his cousin? And he beat her many times?

Suddenly, Roland understood.

Part of the vocabulary of Elvish comes from Ancient Elvish, which is 'multidimensional'.

Ariana just mentioned this "crying", which means being moved, happy and impressed.

Therefore, the Elf Lady must have meant that she had witnessed her victory over Katarina, and that Katarina had felt pleasure, admiration, and respect.

He had indeed defeated Katarina many times.

When we were shopping today, I beat her several times.

She likes to make bets with others and always wins.

When appreciating the artworks, he found several bargains. Catalina excitedly gave him a thumbs up and said that Roland was amazing.

Of course, she didn't honor her bet, and she also stole her magic stones and the antiques she found!

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but get angry.

He didn't say much, just told them to hurry up, and then he and Aliana started on their journey.

Ariana knows some magic, but she doesn't use it very well, so flying is not as fast as walking.

Roland didn't want to waste his magic power on the road, and considering that it would be inappropriate for Ariana to walk while he rode the horse, he accompanied her.

Anyway, Catalina mentioned 'Heraka Church in front', so it shouldn't be far away.

As a result, after checking the map, Roland found that it was quite far from the Heraca Church.

However, although the two were walking, they were not slow.

The two of them could walk and talk at a speed of about 12m/s.

Although there were some small hills, they walked on them as if they were on flat ground. Furthermore, they were all strong and didn't need to rest. Therefore, reaching the Heraca Church before dusk was not a problem.

On the way, Ariana asked a lot of common sense questions about humans.

Roland gave her a lot of popular science information.

Unfortunately, neither of them was very familiar with the Elvish language, so Ariana learned a lot of strange knowledge.

This was the first time Roland and Ariana spent time together normally.

Roland discovered that the elf lady was very elf-like when she was not fighting.

More clever than all the elves.

She is elegant, delicate, simple, and shy.

This is an elf lady with a strong sense of justice and some contrasts.

But her values ​​are somewhat different. She seems to follow some tribal rules and likes to be straightforward in many things instead of beating around the bush.

Roland sighed inwardly, "No wonder someone as thoughtful as Catalina gets along so well with Aliana. She'll never scheme against you. When you're with her, you don't need to be on guard against her, and you won't feel tired."

Spending time with Miss Aliana unexpectedly made Roland feel more relaxed than ever before. His tense nerves finally eased.

He can empty himself.

Roland discovered something very strange. After the two of them chatted in Elvish for two hours, the Elf lady's Elvish became more and more fluent.

It was as if someone who had just started learning Elvish suddenly learned it in two hours.

In addition, Roland discovered that the elf lady was actually very smart. She could understand many things as soon as they were explained.

She actually spoke the Common Language very well, but it seemed like she was just practicing Elvish.

She seems to have extremely high intelligence and amazing understanding.

She seems cautious, but once she trusts someone, she becomes naive and easily deceived.

She is also very curious and playful.

She could stare at a rare 'large swallowtail butterfly' for a long time as if she were a cat.

If Roland hadn't been around, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist grabbing it.

Roland teased her a little, telling her that catching butterflies was a training course for human swordsmen. And after catching a beautiful butterfly, the Sword God (a fabricated one) would bless it and increase one's strength.

My teacher, Baron Hall, became so powerful because he caught butterflies every day.

The elf's eyes lit up after hearing this. She believed his lies and continued to catch butterflies for a long time without any doubt. Then she proudly showed her trophy to Roland and put it in her small space bag to keep it.

That innocent look made Roland smirk inwardly.

At noon, the two came to a small river.

It is quiet and beautiful here, and there are many animals and birds playing in the river that are not afraid of people.

It's late spring now, and it's still very hot at noon. The trees here are tall and the river is cool, making it a good place to rest.

Roland looked at the time and found it was much faster than expected, so he suggested taking a break and having a meal.

He set up some dry wood and got a large pot of water. After purifying it, he left it to boil and then went to the grove to relieve himself.

When they came out of the grove, Roland jumped onto a big rock and looked out for a while.

The weather was very clear and the view was excellent. Standing on the big rock on this small hill, you can see the outline of a church on the horizon.

Roland estimated that at their speed, they would arrive in two to three hours. Even if they took a break at noon, they would arrive before dusk.

"How about a shower?"

Wiping the sweat off his head, Roland subconsciously glanced towards the river. Then his head buzzed and he almost fell off the big rock.

Elf Miss Aliana was washing herself behind a tall bush.

She was very clean, even a bit of a germaphobe. She showered because of those bony hands. That smell was disgusting.

If Roland was getting food by the campfire at this time, he would definitely not be able to see her.

But the terrain on this side of the grove is a little higher, and he can see everything from the big rock he is standing on.

The beautiful scene made Roland's heart twitch violently. A famous oil painting, "Azazel and the Swan," flashed through his mind. The painting depicted a beautiful elf princess bathing by the river. The swans surrounded her like playful little fairies.

The painting vividly displays the beauty, playfulness and innocence of the elf princess.

If you simply look at the elf princess in this painting, you wouldn't be able to entertain any other thoughts. She's too pure, too sacred. It's impossible for anyone to harbor any perverse thoughts.

But if you know the story behind this painting, it will make you have evil thoughts.

In the background story, a god passed by here and saw the elf princess and was attracted by her beauty.

So, he turned into a swan, came behind the princess and began to peek.

The innocent princess didn't know the swan was a bad person, so she approached the swan. The swan pretended to be injured, so the princess hugged it, healed it, and then abandoned it.

But the injury did not get relieved.

Next, the swan deceived her and then killed the simple elf princess with a strong sword.

Roland is now the despicable swan.

The naive Aliana didn't notice someone standing on the big rock behind her, peeping at her. Hearing no movement from the distant campfire, she assumed Roland hadn't returned yet, so she hurried to wash herself.

She also squatted on the shore and teased the fish in the river for a while, and the fish were very close to her.

Faintly, she frowned and looked back warily at a large rock in the distance behind her. There was nothing on the rock.

After a while, there was movement at the campfire. Aliana hurriedly dried her body, dried her hair, put on her clothes and returned to the campfire.

Roland was sitting by the campfire, his head tilted back, scratching his nose, which seemed to be bleeding.

The naive Aliana didn't know why Roland's nose was bleeding, so she approached him with great concern. She didn't ask any questions, thinking that Roland was injured and she wanted to heal him.

So when she came over, she stroked Roland's head and started healing his nose.

At this moment, Roland's mind flashed with memories. Perhaps they were memories from before he traveled through time?
He remembered that when he was a child, the older sister next door had her parents on a business trip and was afraid to stay alone at night, so she asked him to go over and keep her company.

When he was a child, he was naughty and hit his head on the door sill, causing it to swell up. His older sister also held her head like this.

Well, I remember that night, he couldn't sleep. The elder sister hugged him and comforted him, asking him if he wanted to sleep with her 'truth'.

Roland told her that physical contact between men and women is not allowed.

Later, when he grew up a few years later and began to understand things, he regretted it deeply.

At that time, the eldest sister, like Elena, had no extra thoughts.

Her eyes are like beautiful emerald gems, so flawless and so pure.

Roland felt extremely ashamed.

But at the same time, the stunning sight of Ariana kneeling by the river. That perfect peach, like a devil, appeared in Roland's mind.

The pure elder sister's frightening scene.
The story of the swan suddenly flashed through Roland's mind again.

That god is such a beast!
Girls like this must be defiled!
Having evil thoughts is a sin!

Roland put his hands into his trouser pockets and adjusted them to avoid embarrassment.

After the little episode, the two continued on their way.

Ariana was still as innocent as ever. She had caught another butterfly and even flaunted it in front of Roland provocatively, asking, "Can you catch such a beautiful butterfly?"

Roland hesitated for a moment, then gave Miss Aliana some common sense about the relationship between men and women, telling her to be careful not to be deceived in the future.

"Miss Aliana, you shouldn't trust anyone, including me." Roland spoke in the common language.

Miss Elliana thought for a moment and asked, “You mean, straw? Elena shouldn’t trust straw?”

Roland was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Indeed, be careful when you see straws. Although those straws are me, they are all bad me. They will bully you and deceive you."

To be honest, Roland had some bad thoughts in his mind today - as long as he lied a little, this innocent beauty would stick out her perky butt towards him.

Then he looked at Roland Run as he went in with an innocent look on his face.

Roland couldn't help but shake off the image in his mind.

Straw is Roland from another timeline, a Roland who lacks self-control.

Roland asked himself honestly, if he lost his self-control, he would definitely become the "swan" today.

Not only today, he will not let any of them go, from Helena, Yingtao, to Kayla and Joan.

He won't even let Anna go!
Roland still vividly remembered the appearance of the Snow Elf that had suddenly appeared in the snow. And he had spanked her many times.

If you have no self-control and are completely driven by desire, it would be strange if you don't accidentally fire a gun.

By the way, how is Anna doing lately?

Elena, the elf lady, said, "Elena has seen straw and can tell the difference between Roland and straw. You smell different. It is younger, and you are more mature. Its heart is simple, and yours is complicated."

Roland was surprised.

Miss Elena wasn't at all rude or crude. She was incredibly delicate. After just one meeting, I discovered a lot of issues with her that I hadn't even noticed myself.

Yes, the little Rolands are younger, because they look the same as when I first looked in the mirror. Now, eight years have passed, and my appearance has hardly changed, but they are more lively.

The hearts of the little Rolands are also very simple - they are driven by their own desires and have only one idea, which is to put the ideas that come to them into action.

Therefore, they are very innocent, driven by their pure desires, and never hesitate to do bad things.

As for me, whenever a bad thought comes up, I always have to struggle for a while to defeat it.

My heart is naturally very complicated.

Wait, Elena?
Roland's heart moved slightly.

This is the name of an elf, so her real elf name is 'Elena'?
Roland asked, "Have you also given yourself a name in the Common Language? What should it be called?"

"Hannah," Elena said.

Roland blinked and thought to himself, "Is her name also Hannah, like Ariana?"

Roland had no idea that Aliana didn't even have a name in the common language.

In addition, he also overlooked one thing.

Elena has a slight lisp when speaking Common.

Roland asked again, "Where's Catalina? What's her name?"

Elena said: "Katrina."

Roland is a bit messy and it doesn't sound like much has changed.

Common is a phonetic language, somewhat similar to Latin, so sometimes if a few letters are off, and the speaker's pronunciation isn't standard, it can be difficult to tell the difference between the two words.

He inquired about the spelling of the name.

Elena was stunned, as if she was stumped.

Roland rubbed his eyes, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Elena's thoughts quickly shifted to other things, and she began to ask questions about things on the road.

Roland began to give her patient answers.

I always feel like Elena is going out and interacting with people for the first time.

If I say that spending time with Elena before taking a bath makes Roland feel very relaxed.

After taking a bath together, Roland felt that his depressed heart had been healed a lot.

Roland sighed.

When the two first met, they disliked each other, and Roland even thought she was quite wild.

The first time Roland saw Catalina painting Elena, her shy look surprised him and he felt that the elf lady was a bit different.

After truly getting to know each other today, Roland suddenly discovered that this simple elf had a very pure heart that could not be soiled at all.

'If we become enemies'

Roland shook his head.

He found out.

The eldest cousin is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, while the elf lady Elena is very naive.

However, my position may be different from theirs.

While thinking, Roland and the others came to the vicinity of the Heraca Church and saw Katarina.

Roland knew it was time to come clean and have a chat.

If they could find common ground while reserving their differences, that would be even better. He only wanted to obtain the Prisoner Seed. As for what Katarina was doing here, that was something the elders of the school should worry about.

Roland didn't want to intervene, nor did he have the ability to do so. To obtain the prisoner's seed, he didn't mind turning a blind eye to Katarina's affairs.

Of course, she has to be willing to cooperate.

Roland's nerves tightened. He knew that if he didn't talk well, Catalina would kill him.

Roland thought a lot, but he didn't expect that after meeting Catalina, she actually planned to take Roland to visit this place.

It was already dusk and a funeral was being held in the church.
