I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 217 You lunatic! Salt, give me salt!

Delia was covered in a lot of leeches, which kept wriggling and looked extremely creepy.

But she seemed unaware and continued to lean towards Roland.

"The rain is so heavy." Delia said delicately, hinting that Roland should hug her.

Roland turned and left, leaving her alone in the heavy rain.

Delia: “???”

Elena, Katherine and Roderick were walking side by side in front.

Roderick is on the far left, holding an umbrella. Catherine is in the middle, talking to him, while Elena is holding umbrellas for Catherine on both sides.

The umbrella in Elena's hand was as large as a small parasol. There was still some space to her right, so Roland slipped through.

Seeing Roland suddenly running over, the three of them looked at him in surprise.

Roland brushed off the rain on his body and said nothing.

In his mind, he recalled the several ancestral precepts that Delia had told him before.

1. You must walk after entering the stone bridge.

2. Do not make loud noises near the castle, and do not abuse magic.

3. Do not wander around the castle at night.

【4. Regularly sprinkle salt inside and outside the castle.】

5. After crossing the stone bridge at night, do not turn back.

Recalling the first four points, Roland's mind suddenly lit up with a white light.

At this time, Catherine and the other two had been staring at Roland for a long time. Seeing Roland looking around nervously, they couldn't help but reveal strange expressions on their faces.

Catherine asked, "Roland, you came here suddenly, what's the matter?"

Before she could finish her words, Roland suddenly rushed over and covered her mouth.

Catherine: “???”

Roderick and Elena: “???”

"Shh! Don't talk!"

Roland looked at the ground one meter ahead in horror and whispered to the three people, "Don't talk, don't move, they'll hear you."

The three of them looked at the ground in front of them in surprise and confusion.

There was nothing one meter away, but a little further ahead, there was a group of tiny water ants moving there.

Catherine and Roland had a tacit understanding between them. Although her expression was very strange, she guessed that Roland must have seen something.

So, she let Roland cover her mouth without saying a word.

But Roderick on the side couldn't hold it anymore.

He noticed that the boy seemed to have suddenly fallen ill.

Roderick was naturally aware of the rumors about the mental problems of the Black Abyss wizards, and he was even more familiar with the legend of the 'Straw Baron'.

He really couldn't understand why Her Highness Catherine, who was so beautiful and of such a noble status, insisted on getting engaged to such a person.

But Her Highness Catherine didn't get angry, nor did she take his hand away. Her Highness Catherine was just teasing this lunatic!
Roderick was really a little overwhelmed.

Roderick was married, but he had many lovers.

Along the way, he had been consciously or unconsciously searching for opportunities to deepen his relationship with the Black Abyss lineage. If he could successfully establish a deeper friendship with this prince, he would gain both fame and fortune.

Therefore, he has been showing his grace all the way, trying to increase his favorability.

Now he also showed his grace.

He smiled slightly and waved his sleeves. Then a small, gentle "Wind Prince" gathered in front.

Then, Prince Wind carefully sent the group of water ants away.

Then, he looked at Catherine and smiled very gentlemanly, then said to Roland, "The water ants have arrived safely at their destination. Your Highness can be released now."

Roderick thought he was coaxing the child, playing along with the man's psychotic thoughts and entertaining him.

As a result, it seemed to disturb Roland.

Roland stood there in a daze, his eyes slowly moving from one meter in front of him to land on Roderick.

Then, his expression turned extremely ugly, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Looking at Roland's gaze, Roderick was slightly stunned.

Roderick cursed in his heart: "This psychopath! As expected, normal people can't keep up with the thinking of psychopaths!"

He put on a pretentious gentlemanly smile, as if trying to make a witty remark to Catherine in a humorous way.

Before he could even get a word out, Roland was heard cursing, "Don't come any closer, it's disgusting! Stay away from us! Damn, they can jump!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Roderick saw Roland holding Katherine and Elena's waists with his hands and started dancing!
Like a butterfly flying away!

Roland was very strong. He held the two ladies in his arms and moved them around.

While he was dancing, he was directing Katherine and Elena's movements: "Lift your legs and turn around quickly, don't step on them! Hurry up! Hurry up! There are too many umbrellas! Umbrellas!"

Catherine actually listened to his crazy talk, raised her legs, turned around, and performed a beautiful waltz.

And Miss Elf actually obeyed the madman's command and pulled the two of them and waved their umbrellas.

I saw the big umbrella in my hand drawing several beautiful tracks in the air, blocking the "air" over there.

Then, there was a splashing sound, and the big umbrella swung out pieces of water while dancing, all of which fell on Roderick.

Roderick watched Roland and the other two dancing with a messy look on his face.

What are these three guys doing?!

Roderick finally understood why Her Highness Catherine usually played with her fiancé.

Because she is also mentally ill!

That elf is also very sick!
The people in Heiyuan are all crazy!
They look aloof, but their true appearance is actually like this!

Roderick felt bad all over.

Roderick was disheveled in the rain, and Catherine was feeling unwell.

After holding hands with Roland and turning around again, Catherine looked at the dazed expressions of the brother and sister and could no longer hold back.

"Roland, what are you doing? I'm so embarrassed now!"

Anna also whispered something in Elvish, which roughly meant that Elena is so embarrassed now!
At this time, the three of them were already some distance away from Roderick, and Roland finally stopped holding the two of them.

He wiped the cold sweat from his head, stared at Roderick's body and the empty space around him, and said, "Can't you see it?"

Catherine was mad: "I'm not watching shit!"

Roland looked at Roderick not far away and said in horror, "Leech! There are leeches everywhere! They've been attracted by the magic and are all crawling onto his body!"

Roland's words were like a thunderclap, ringing in Roderick's ears.

His body suddenly shook slightly, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer.

A memory that was deleted by someone vaguely reappeared in his mind.

This memory is so fragmented, yet so impressive.

It was just like the nightmare that had tormented him for countless nights!
Roderick raised his hands dully, making sure there was nothing on them.

But from the very beginning, he felt that there was something wrong with his blood and magic power.

His blood and magic power were constantly flowing out of his hands.

Roderick suddenly felt a little itchy.

He scratched the back of his clean hand, then scratched his face and back.

He felt as if he had grasped a lot of sticky things in his hands, but when he looked at them, there was nothing.

rumble rumble
A flash of lightning streaked across the rainy night.

In that fleeting light, Roderick's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he saw something in that instant.

He saw something shaking in his sight, blurring his vision - it seemed to be a leech shaking on his eyeball.

When the light faded and darkness returned to the surroundings, everything returned to normal.

Roderick looked at his hands repeatedly and checked his body over and over again.

He took off his clothes and scratched his body like a madman, mumbling, "No, where did the leeches come from? No! There's nothing here!"
But why is it so itchy?
I’m so itchy!!!”

With a ripping sound, Roderick tore his scalp off fiercely.

He screamed and said he was itchy and had invisible leeches on his body. Then he tore the skin off his arms, face, and back!
"Brother, what are you doing! What have you been doing since just now?"

Delia had been standing there dumbfounded for a long time.

She grabbed her hair and felt terrible.

Originally, it was just a man named Roland who went crazy.

Then, the two women went crazy too!

Just now, my brother suddenly went crazy!
Crazy, everyone is crazy!
All of this is because of what that person said.

He said something to the two women and they went crazy.

He said something to his brother, and his brother went crazy.

Delia was very scared, and they all looked at her at the same time the next moment!
At this moment, Roderick suddenly shouted in a low voice: "I remember! Hahaha, I remember! Salt! Give me salt! Delia, give me salt!"

Delia was completely bewildered when she heard this.

But Roland seemed to have suddenly been enlightened. He suddenly took out a large bucket of salt, then pulled the two ladies, took two steps forward, and then sprinkled a large pile of salt on the ground more than one meter in front of him.

He carefully observed the air on the ground, and then revealed a look of great surprise.

Then he led the two of them towards Roderick.

He walked along, spreading salt along the way.

Elena held up her umbrella to protect Roland like a shield. She followed Roland's instructions and kept changing the direction of the umbrella, sometimes blocking the east and sometimes blocking the west.

She was completely soaked, but she didn't care.

Catherine took out an umbrella and covered Roland's big salt barrel. She also got soaked.

It was raining heavily, but Roland seemed to have brought a lot of salt with him, and he actually built a salt road in this heavy rain!
After arriving near Roderick, Roland first sprinkled a pile of salt on the ground around Roderick, and then sprinkled the salt towards Roderick.

“It’s gone, almost gone. After the leeches came into contact with the salt, they turned into ashes!
"Roderick, how are you feeling now? On your arm, on your arm. Right arm!"

Roland said as he sprinkled salt. He asked Elena to cover Roderick with an umbrella to prevent the salt on his body from being washed away by the rain.

Roderick's skin was completely gone, and his body was covered in blood, but he was still rubbing salt on his body vigorously.

Under Roland's command, he painted his entire body.

"It feels so good, so good. It doesn't itch anymore. The leeches should be gone. I feel like the leeches are gradually shrinking."

Roderick had a look of comfort on his face. As he rubbed himself, his whole body gradually shriveled up.

Then he fell to the ground and died.

Roland and the other two stood there dumbfounded, their mouths wide open.

Delia, who was not far away, saw this scene and her whole body shook violently. Then she rushed over like crazy and hugged her brother.

As a result, after this hug, Delia felt that her brother was like a shortbread, which broke into pieces on the ground with a few crackling sounds.

Then, Roderick's remains turned to ashes.

Delia was stunned for a moment, then she covered her face and burst into tears.

"You, you lunatics! Madmen! Look at what you have done!"

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Roland's face.

The Earl's own son was killed before he even entered the house!
"A good deed we did? Haha."

Catherine laughed coldly: "Delia, Roderick had the salt spread. He also rubbed it himself.

After he finished rubbing, he lay on the ground and wanted to rest for a while. But when you came over and hugged him, he seemed to have swallowed the sun stone and disappeared into ashes. Haha.

Delia looked up at the black-hearted woman in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Catherine ignored Delia. She glanced around and sneered, "Delia, I'd like to ask you, what exactly is going on here? Was this curse hidden on the stone bridge cast by you, or by the blood-stained wizards?"

"A curse?"

Delia was completely stunned. It took her a long time to understand what Catherine meant.

Sister, you are so cruel! Do you have any conscience?
We welcomed you with good intentions, but you wanted to wipe out our entire family!
This time, the matter was given personally by the Thousand-Eyed King.

As the party responsible for the connection, if the Bloodblight Castle makes any mistakes, her father, Earl Durant, will probably be crushed to ashes.

Now, her brother had been tragically killed in front of the gates of Withered Blood Castle for unknown reasons, and the Thousand-Eyed King's daughter was determined to frame him, saying that Withered Blood Castle had colluded with the White Council to assassinate her.
This matter is simply unclear!
My father definitely doesn't want to take the blame.

But he wouldn't argue with Catherine.

For the sake of this cooperation that is beneficial to the development of the family, he will most likely choose to make a big deal out of a small matter.

After all, there are so many sons. The eldest son died, and there are still the second daughter, the third son, the fourth son, and the fifth daughter.
Delia and her brother were jointly responsible for leading the way. Now that things have gone wrong, someone must take responsibility.

In addition, she was suspicious to begin with, so after hearing this, her father would certainly make his choice - the second daughter framed the eldest son for the inheritance right, disturbing the noble princess.

Father's board may be raised high and lowered gently.

He might even grind himself to dust in order to appease the princess.

The so-called truth is no longer important. What is important is whether Catherine is willing to continue cooperating with the Bleeding Castle or choose to cooperate with other families in Twilight.

There are more than just the Blood-Drenched Castle that have prisoner species.

Delia felt a warmth on her butt, but her body was cold.

She crawled over and tried to hug Katherine's legs, but was kicked away by Elena.

"Your Highness, that's not the case. Please let me explain."

Delia no longer had the look of wanting to settle the score with her brother. Instead, she pleaded with the three suspects to show some mercy.

Her thoughts were much clearer than before, and she put the matter on the 'Curse of Helaka' in just a few words.

When Roderick crossed the stone bridge, he clearly violated his ancestral teachings and used magic!

Normally, violating ancestral teachings near the Bloodstained Castle wouldn't necessarily lead to any serious consequences; at most, you'd just cough.

But who knows what happened today?

Maybe it has something to do with this rainstorm?
Whenever it rains, strange things are more likely to happen near the Blood Castle.

Normally, nighttime is the time when the Blood-Drying Wizards like to come out and move around, but today's rain is particularly heavy, so there is no living person around the Blood-Drying Castle.

Moreover, many people should have gone out to greet us today, but everyone was waiting inside. Although this was mainly due to other reasons, the heavy rain was also a factor.

Delia gave a long explanation. She picked all the fruits from Roland and the other three, and also picked some for herself.

While crying, she attributed the matter to the 'Heraka Curse' and the 'Withered Blood Mystery'.

Then she cried and talked about the deep affection between her and her brother.

"Mmmmm, Lady Catherine."

Delia's heart was broken as she cried. She cried desperately, "How could I let Roderick die?"

She grabbed the ashes on the ground, her heart broken: "He is the one I love the most. My two children are not my husband's, they are my brother's. Ah, you can tell by looking at their hair, they are all golden."

awful!
That's horrible!
Roland covered his face fiercely.

He knew that someone would have to take the blame for what happened today.

But if the senior sister continues to do this, the brother and sister will be so miserable and pitiful. It is really an unprovoked disaster!
Moreover, fundamentally speaking, this matter is all Roland's fault!
First, he had to tell Roderick that he had leeches!
If Roderick didn't know, nothing would happen.

Secondly, he just has to rub salt into other people's troubles.

On the other hand, Delia has a lot of leeches on her body, but she didn't sprinkle any salt on it, and she is still alive and well.

Obviously, low SAN and salt levels were the Bloody Wizard's Achilles' heel. And Roland, on the other hand, was stabbing at that Achilles' heel!
Regarding sprinkling salt, Roland did follow Roderick's instructions, but the reason why Roland did it was somewhat of an experimental idea. Could he do without a pot?
Roderick was killed by Roland.

In fact, Roland saw through the boy's evil intentions when he was pretending to perform - using those yellow-haired tricks in front of my woman? And you want to show off by stepping on me? I'll kill you!
But now, such a delicate little beauty is crying right in front of you, crying heart-wrenchingly - and she is your crazy fan!
As a grown man, how can I not be soft-hearted?

Roland planned to ask the senior to show some mercy - there was no need to kill him.

Then comfort this beautiful lady.

He looked at the senior sister and cautiously advised: "Ahem, Catherine, Miss Delia is actually..."

Catherine gave Roland a cold look.

Mr. Roland, the son-in-law, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He shut his mouth obediently and never dared to fart again.
