I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 219: Everyone has their own agenda, and they suffer from intermittent amnesia!

When Roland slowed down to observe the tapestry in the corridor, Catherine and Anna also subconsciously slowed down to wait for him.

Maria and the other ladies-in-waiting were shocked to discover that this inconspicuous son-in-law might not be just a lackey, but an important person in their hearts.

Maria immediately smiled and explained the tapestries to Catherine and Roland.

Roland gained some insights.

Strictly speaking, these tapestries are both 'climate blankets' and 'magic servants'. Made of the finest magical materials, they can help the castle defend itself from enemies, aid wizards in their work, and actively and passively regulate the castle's climate.

There are many magic carpets in the Blood Castle, some for regulating the climate, some for servants, and some for guards.

Compared to normal magic carpets, the magic carpet in the Blood Castle is a bit special and a bit weird.

Because the characters in it are all alive, they are undead.

To put it bluntly, it is the 'Soul Banner'!
It can suck flesh and blood, suck souls, and can also cast blood curses on people. Those cursed will be haunted by evil spirits and slowly transformed into blood-sucking monsters controlled by the magic carpet.

If someone attacks Bleeding Blood Castle, the wizards can grab their wands and pull groups of "people" out of these magic carpets. Combined with the Book of the Dead, it's quite powerful.

In addition, the Blood Magic Carpet has a special use - it can be used as a shroud.

The wrapped corpse can remain intact for thousands of years, and it can also lock the soul inside the corpse and nourish both the corpse and the soul.

If a person is not completely dead yet, wrapping them in this tapestry can bring them back to life later. It can even give the newly deceased a chance to be resurrected.

The disadvantage is that the person wrapped in it will become like a mummy.

In a sense, these tapestries, which could serve as shrouds, are similar to some of the things found in tombs.

A true undead wonder.

Anna suddenly pointed to a tapestry and said, "Umbrella."

Roland's eyes moved slightly, and his nose moved, and he smelled a fragrance on the tapestry that was similar to that of an umbrella.

No wonder there are no leeches in this castle, these magic carpets seem to be able to repel insects too!

Roland couldn't help but point at the tapestry and ask.

Miss Maria smiled and said, "Oh, these are works created by the Earl and the Countess in their spare time."

Roland smiled and said, "I see the embroidery on these tapestries is somewhat similar to the embroidery on the umbrellas we used when we came here today?"

Miss Maria's eyes lit up slightly, and she said, "Lord Roland has a keen eye. The umbrellas Miss Delia took out today were all made by the Earl and Countess."

Roland thought to himself, "The Count and the Countess are two suspicious individuals?"

Roland nodded and stopped asking questions: "Let's go."

On the way, Catherine gave Roland a look. Those insect-repellent tapestries were all recent creations. Something must have happened in the Blood Castle in recent years. The leeches in the Castle shouldn't have been this active before.

Roland's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.

The timing is so consistent, could it be that the Countess really became an immortal?

Roland gave Catherine a look - judging from the numerous artworks in the Withered Blood Castle, the Withered Blood lineage had at least a dozen art masters proficient in Heracari necromancy and the study of rare objects, and hundreds of apprentices who had dabbled in these subjects.

So, how many apprentices are there in the entire county?

Thousands? Tens of thousands?!

This is a bit exaggerated.

But Catherine trusted Roland's eye. He had made many of these things and had a unique ability to identify this kind of magic carpet.

But the intelligence about the power of the Kuxue lineage is not like this!
At least the Twilight Wizards did not realize that the Withered Blood lineage had secretly developed to this extent!

Although, wizards and apprentices below the second level are all bugs in the eyes of third-level wizards.

But there are too many insects and they can eat people.

The power of the Kuxue lineage is a bit too great. Whether from the perspective of Twilight or from the perspective of Baiqi and Heiyuan, they have to drive out the insects of the Kuxue lineage.

Just taking away a few imprisoned species will not drive away the insects.

This problem needs to be treated from the root - by cutting down trees.

The senior student glared at Roland fiercely.

Roland laughed secretly.

It seems that the senior is willing to take part in the tree-cutting process.

Roland suddenly felt the pressure reduced.

The number of wizards in the Blood Castle is terrifying. Official wizards are everywhere, and there are a lot of mid- and late-stage first-level wizards.

To be honest, the strength of a Bloody Wizard in combat varies greatly. According to rumors, most Bloody Wizards are of average strength, with only a few being exceptionally strong.

Therefore, if he encountered a mid-level first-level wizard, Roland was still confident that he could fight him.

But how could such a large castle not have a special blood-stained wizard?
Roland still remembers the battle with Brother Pumpkin vividly.

If I were to secretly go cut down trees and encounter a special blood-drying wizard in the late first stage, I would probably have a hard time escaping.

Moreover, there are so many wizards in the Blood Castle. If one is alarmed, the whole group will be excited.

Now that the senior student has been dragged into this, Roland feels free to stir up trouble.

With the strength of Senior Sister and Anna, no wizard below the second level could match them. If the two of them teamed up, the second level wizards would have to avoid their edge.

When the time comes, the three of them will act together, they will deal with the big ones while I deal with the small ones, perfect!

Roland glanced at the senior quietly and found that she seemed to have made up her mind.

Sure enough, after a moment, the senior student gave Roland a look - I will create an opportunity for you to meet the Countess alone. Don't be afraid to go!
Roland's face froze slightly.

Indeed, they came not to kill, but to shelter the mysterious.

Roland still had no idea how to contain that mystery.

The mystery of Withered Blood Castle was that the Withered Blood wizards took them in. The method of taking them in naturally had to be figured out by the masters of the house.

The Countess must have crucial information.

So, the senior sister planned to sell her body.

Your girlfriend actually takes the initiative to create an opportunity for you to have a private meeting with a beautiful and noble young woman?
This kind of good fortune is really great.

But Roland didn't want to go.

He felt that he probably couldn't handle this kind of good fortune.

The Countess has probably blazed a new trail on the Heraca Road.

If this road is new, then it's fine. After she finishes walking it, she will still be a normal person.

But if it is an evil or crooked path, or if she becomes possessed by demons, then the immortal she becomes will not be a normal immortal.

Take myself for example. If I hadn’t survived the butterfly calamity, I would definitely have turned into a strange thing.

The best outcome is to become something like Haywood.

So, has the Countess become that thing? Are those leeches out there related to the Countess?
How can it be such a blessing to have a secret meeting with such a noble lady?

At this time, the senior student gave Roland another look - I will accompany you there secretly, and then you hold her back while I look through her things.

Roland felt a little more confident.

If the Countess has made new breakthroughs on the Heraca Road, she must have some documents in her hands.

These documents are extremely valuable.

There is also the mysterious Heraka in the White Chess Council, in the forbidden area.

If the Madam's documents recorded the method of extracting the prisoner species, then there would be no need to contain the mystery of the Withered Blood Castle.

Just destroy it.

There is a world of difference in difficulty between stealing a tree and burning it.

The two of them communicated secretly along the way, and in the eyes of others, they all thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess was exchanging glances with this son-in-law with a bad reputation.

Maria's heart couldn't help but move slightly.

Along the way, she paid close attention to the details of Roland and Catherine's interactions. Roland seemed like a loyal servant, following Catherine and her husband obediently.

But from some subconscious actions, Maria could see that the relationship between the baron and the princess was not as simple as an important confidant.

This baron can influence Her Royal Highness the Princess. The Princess will even listen to him!
She thought to herself, "I never thought this romantic baron would have such a firm grip on the little princess."
How could the withered blood wizards know that most of Catherine's current achievements were due to Roland, including her ever-increasing realm, which was all due to his various crazy theories about Roland.

Every time Roland made a mess somewhere, Catherine would secretly go and clean it up.

On the surface, she was covering for Roland, saying things like, "Sister, I'll protect you." In reality, Roland was acting like a vanguard, opening up crucial opportunities for her, allowing her to bring various important figures and forces under her wing.

So, Roland is Catherine's sword. On the surface, it is in her hand, but in fact, sometimes in order to make the sword obedient, she has to lift up her skirt!
Roland is not only Catherine's spiritual support, but also her important business partner, and occasionally plays the role of her financial sponsor.

The two people have a win-win relationship and are firmly tied together.

No one knew about these things, not even Roland knew how he could control his senior.

Maria naturally didn't know how capable Roland was at causing trouble, and she didn't know that even Catherine couldn't control Roland.

She just felt that the head of the Alexandra family, who was obviously such a formidable female leader, was being controlled by such an incompetent and despicable man who only knew some art and how to please women.

This is simply a case of a beautiful woman being unable to resist the temptation of a yellow-haired man.

Maria felt sorry for Catherine, and even felt that her idol had been taken away by a yellow-haired girl!
But she sees this as a breakthrough.

The Blood-Dried Wizards didn't dare to do anything to Catherine, but if they could catch the baron's handle, or control this little baron, then they would have a lot more room to operate.

She planned to make some contact and test it out a little bit.

Soon, many female officials and servants led the three people to a door.
Maria seemed to have something to do, so after leading everyone here, she left.

Roland and his senior separated, and were led by several female officials and servants around a corner to the end of the corridor. At the end of the corridor was a huge courtyard with a huge barrier overhead.

Heavy rain poured down from above, pounding the barrier. The courtyard was like a garden, very quiet and peaceful.

The courtyard was filled with steam, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a hot spring.

After careful observation, Roland confirmed that there were no leeches nearby and felt relieved.

"I didn't expect that there would be a hot spring in the Dry Blood Castle. It's quite nice."

Roland's eyes lit up slightly.

There are seven or eight hot springs in this courtyard, connected to each other.

The layout of the courtyard was very exquisite, and the vegetation and small buildings inside were very particular. It made Roland feel like he was on vacation at a luxurious hot spring club.

The ladies-in-waiting and maids who had escorted Roland over smiled and waved towards the distant wall. Then the front wall turned into a wall of air.

Roland took a closer look and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

The terrain beneath his feet was high, and Roland looked out into the distance and saw hazy green mountains. It was a pity that it was raining and he couldn't see clearly, but he could still feel the quiet breath of nature.

After arriving at the air wall, Roland was surprised to find that there was actually a beautiful valley under his feet, or perhaps a strange potion garden.

The various vegetation in the valley below emitted a beautiful fluorescent light. A hot spring pool not far away flowed into the valley like a small waterfall.

"The nobles are truly extravagant in their enjoyment."

Roland has lived two lifetimes and has never seen such a high-end hot spring club.

And this time, the whole place is reserved!

Then I looked at the dozen or so dignified and elegant ladies-in-waiting and the young and naughty maids around me. Each of them was as beautiful as an angel, with different personalities and appearances.

Seeing Roland looking over, the maids felt a little shy, and the faces of the female officials also turned slightly red.

Roland's mind buzzed.

Roland thought to himself, "Does this mean everyone has to take a shower with me?"
"Not only did they rent out the luxurious resort, but they also had a large group of young models waiting on them."

Roland is such a country bumpkin.

How could any other club compare to this Withered Blood Castle?
Those who stand here are all superior people, wizards and rulers.

Any maid here is more noble than the noble ladies in the secular world.

The worst ones are also the eldest daughters of some secular noble families.

The Blood-Dried Wizards were a sect, a great school after all. Maids weren't just there to serve anyone.

Moreover, these maids are carefully selected and each one is pure.

As for the female officials, they were all official wizards, two of whom were at a higher level than Roland.

But now, they had to serve Master Roland with the lowest attitude. As long as Roland said a word, they would all crawl on the ground and perform eighteen tricks.

Roland looked at these elegant and well-mannered noble ladies, then glanced at a half-height wooden wall a few meters away.

"Leave your things here, and all of you go out."

Roland said calmly, acting like a serious and upright gentleman.

A dozen young ladies were slightly stunned, then put down their things, but did not leave.

The lady-in-waiting asked Roland if he had brought any clothes like an evening gown, but Roland naturally didn't bring any such things.

He didn't have any at all.

Moreover, the styles of the Blood-Dried Wizards are quite different, very much like the Baroque and Versailles styles of the 17th century.

The ladies-in-waiting said they would ask the tailors to make some for Roland, so they took Roland's measurements.

Then, everyone bowed and left.

Looking at the 'wine glass legs' and 'peaches' going away one by one, Roland's heart was bleeding.

After the ladies left, that feeling of being on edge finally disappeared.

From the moment he entered the door, Roland felt that someone was staring at him. The senior student was most likely next door.

Roland wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the wooden wall not far away.

Arriving in front of the wooden wall, Roland restrained his breath, slowly floated upwards, and stretched his head to look at the scenery behind the wooden wall.

It is also a hot spring.

More than thirty female officials and maids were coming in and out, and it seemed that one of the masters here was a little disgusted with the environment here.

Just now, she frowned slightly, and everyone started to work busily.

It looks like someone is packing up Muyi - it seems that a certain adult doesn't like wearing this, so she is naked!

Someone is preparing snacks and sweet wine.

Someone was preparing costumes for the party, apparently for an adult to choose from.

These people were carrying all kinds of things in and out, but they didn't dare to make any big movements. They walked quietly so as not to disturb the adult's interest.

Roland was watching here in broad daylight, but the maids ignored him, as if he didn't exist at all.

Lilith's concealment skills are indeed extraordinary.

After looking for a while, Roland didn't see the noble man. He must have gone into the water and was near the wall.

Roland's heart skipped a beat. He raised his body and quietly lay on top of the wooden wall.

A murderous aura suddenly came from that direction, and Roland's heart tightened.

A certain adult has been spying on Roland. He knows exactly what he is doing.

But he ignored the warning and forced himself to move a little higher.

Soon, Roland saw the lady with long hair bending in the pool, her body rising a little higher, and then her beautiful swan-like neck appeared in Roland's field of vision.

The murderous aura grew stronger, and Roland became more and more excited.

At this moment, half an apple flew over and hit Roland on the forehead accurately. The pain made Roland's eyes go black and he almost fell off the wooden wall.

He looked angrily in the direction where the apple came from and found that it was a big tree in the hot spring opposite.

A beautiful female spirit knight was leaning against a big tree, staring at this side with squinting eyes.

She folded her arms across her chest and chewed something, which seemed to be the apple she had just eaten.

And in one of her hands, she held a dagger.

The elf lady picked up the dagger and tossed it twice in her hand.

the other side.
In a prayer room, Maria was talking to a statue.

The statue clearly didn't respond, but she kept talking to herself.

Looking closely, she wasn't talking to the statue at all!

There are many statues of gods in this prayer room, but her angle is facing the air.

——"I know you are thirsty, but I don't recommend doing this right away. That boy's status is a bit special. If you damage him, Her Royal Highness might be angry."

——"Don't, don't do this, don't do this!"

Maria suddenly burst into tears. While crying, she took out a knife and cut her aorta.

After a while, she lay on the ground due to excessive blood loss.

Fortunately, the Countess woke up today. She needed to pray before the meal.

When she brought people over, she found poor Maria and immediately gave her some treatment.

After Maria woke up, the Countess did not ask her why she committed self-harm. Instead, she got angry with Maria.

The distinguished guest was resting in the hot spring, but the person in charge of the ladies-in-waiting was not there!
This is obviously inappropriate.

After being scolded, Miss Maria left here with a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she did not go directly to the hot spring. Instead, she dressed up carefully.

After Maria left, Delia said to the Countess with some concern, "Madam, Ms. Maria's mental state is not stable. She just lost too much blood. Is it appropriate to let her go like this without drinking blood?"

The Countess rubbed her forehead and said, "Go and send her some 9/10 blood."

Hearing this, Delia suddenly blinked: "Madam, who do you want to give blood to?"

The Countess was slightly taken aback and asked, "What blood?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then a female official took out a scroll.

A closer look revealed that the scroll was filled with everything the Countess had done, no matter how big or small.

After looking through it for a while, the female official suddenly realized, "Oh, Madam, it should be a blood delivery for the master. He has been sleeping recently and needs a large amount of blood to recover from his injuries. Today's blood has not been delivered yet. Ms. Maria may have come to report this matter just now."

The Countess suddenly realized.

The lady-in-waiting reminded her, "According to the itinerary, the banquet will begin soon. You should start praying now."

The Countess needed to pray, so everyone left quickly, leaving her alone in the room.

But she seemed to have forgotten something. She looked at the statues around her with a puzzled expression: "Strange, am I planning to carve in the prayer room today?"

The behavior of this family is a bit strange.

They seem to suffer from severe 'intermittent amnesia'.

A few years ago, they did not have this disease.
