I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 243: Heiyuan is responsible for this terrorist incident! I will give you another small gift!
These dried leeches, each as big as a human, piled up like pieces of sheepskin to form a small hill.

Looking again, the cocoons in the hall were empty, and half of the bodies were missing.

Roland looked at the busy servants with a strange expression on his face. He watched helplessly as a nun took out a dried leech from a cocoon, and it turned out to be a human!
These leeches are people!
Roland grabbed a passing nun and asked, "What are you doing with all this?"

The nun gave Roland a color - prisoner.

Roland's expression suddenly turned ugly.

He was planning to eat the prisoners' offspring. Roland could accept eating leeches, but these leeches were transformed from humans!
It's people!

Why am I waiting? It seems like I never need to eat prisoner seeds. I need to let my clone kill them!

Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, "So, I don't need to eat these leeches at all. I just need to find a way to revive them and then kill them again."

There are many different ways to "eat" prisoners. Roland had used the method in Straw Town, which was to chop off Little Roland with the Coral Sword. Even feeding it to the clone.

Little Roland's captive species was different from that of Holy Blood Helaka, so he definitely couldn't be 'fed' like that. But he certainly couldn't be eaten directly either.

According to the contents of the books that Roland had been given by his mentor Ushak, it was possible to satisfy the clone through rituals.

But for the specific operation method, you have to study the 'Path of Holy Blood Heraca' first.

Roland picked up a large dried leech and studied it for a while, then he suddenly understood.

Rather than saying they are prison species, it would be better to say that these are cages containing prison species!
Roland thought to himself, "It seems that half of the people in this hall are also sacrifices. Moreover, Madam probably plans to sacrifice them and then recycle their bodies into prisoners."

Roland told his servants to hurry while he went to the base of the altar. There he found Duncan's enormous robe, and inside it was his storage bag.

After rummaging around, Roland showed a look of surprise.

The fat man didn't bring much with him when he came to visit this time, but he did bring some of his most handy self-defense items.

After all, it was wartime, and he felt uneasy leaving the house without a few treasures. Furthermore, he was visiting a vampire's lair this time, so he was a bit cautious.

Even though I didn't bring much, I still had quite a few good things. There were three top-quality items alone!
In addition, there was a strange wand - it looked like a half-hard, half-soft rotten bread with a lot of disgusting maggots inside.

and a set of hammers and chisels for carving.

This thing has a mysterious aura and seems to be a real secret treasure!

After checking the fat man's notes, Roland picked up the hammer and injected magic into it. After most of the magic was injected, the hammer and chisel flew up crookedly.

Roland was overjoyed. He thought to himself, "According to the current situation, even if I pour all my magic power into it, I won't be able to unleash even 20% or 30% of its power! But even so, it's still far more powerful than a magical object!"

His eyes swept across the hall and landed on several blood-stained wizards.

The spider silk on their bodies was half peeled off, and their upper bodies were exposed. They were shaking there wildly, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.

Roland said, "My fellow Daoists, let me send you off. May you reincarnate and transcend as soon as possible, so that you don't have to suffer in this world any longer!"

As he spoke, Roland's eyes showed a bit of ferocity. He pointed at a first-stage wizard and recited a spell.

Then, the small hammer and chisel flew over and hit him. Then, the official wizard turned into a statue of Heraclea!
After another circle, the statue turned into a gargoyle.

Then, the hammer and chisel lost their magic and fell to the ground. But the gargoyle flew up!

It seemed that Roland had not yet re-refined the hammer and chisel. After the gargoyle flew up, it actually flew towards Roland ferociously.

Several nuns nearby rushed to stop it, but the gargoyle dodged slightly in the air, avoiding the crowd's spell and pounced directly at Roland.

Roland was overjoyed. He dodged and the gargoyle caught up with him in a flash.

Just as it was about to pounce on Roland's back, Roland swung back with a hammer, and the gargoyle shattered into pieces.

It turned out that Roland was not running away, but going to pick up the hammer.

Looking at the pile of rubble on the ground, Roland was ecstatic. "Incredible! Incredible treasure! As expected of the leader of the Elementary School, the things in his hands are really good. This set of secret treasures can kill people with just a swing."

After drinking a potion and eating a piece of fire vine root, Roland came to the side of those "fellow Taoists".

He shook the small hammer and chisel in his hand, hesitated for a moment, picked up the sword and killed them.

Roland said, "This set of hammers and chisels is really useful. No matter what magical items I have, they can't stop it. But it consumes too much magic power."

"With my limited magical power, I can create such a powerful gargoyle. With Fatty Duncan's powerful magic, I wonder what he can hammer out!"

This secret treasure seems to require the Philosopher's Stone to fully activate. This item is a 'Magic Stone Seed'. It's used by those great schools with access to magic crystal mines as a coin template for alchemy magic stones. It can't be purchased.

However, Philosopher's Stones occasionally appear in some high-end black market auctions - they are all made through alchemy by second-level wizards!
Roland couldn't get this kind of thing for the time being, but he felt that if he advanced, he might be able to get a first-level dragon!
Duncan brought several magic books with him, and the insights in his notebooks were priceless. Roland carefully kept them.

Besides, he had quite a few potions in his bag.

For Duncan, a second-level wizard, these potions are meditation potions or combat potions.

But for a first-level wizard, it is an extremely precious treasure!

Any bottle you take out can be used to upgrade a wizard at the early stage of the first level!

There were quite a few odds and ends, in addition to more than thirty mid-grade magic stones, and some low-grade magic stones, which seemed to be carried as change.

He hadn't planned on buying anything this time, so he didn't bring much money with him. But this was still three or four thousand magic stones!

After collecting these things, Roland sighed, "Master Duncan Tower Master, with your methods, it's truly unfair that you died here."

At this time, two servants came over with two storage bags. Roland opened them and saw that they seemed to belong to the two saints.

After reading it, Roland's expression became extremely strange.

Roland said, "Duncan, Duncan, your death is well deserved! I wonder how much preparation these psychopaths have made to deal with you!"

Inside each bag was a small doll woven with hair. The doll looked exactly like the fat man, with some of Duncan's blood on it.

Not only was the puppet tied up tightly, it was also covered with curse needles.

Judging from the curly hair, the Dry Blood Witches must have colluded with the Duncan Tower Master quite often. It was unknown how many times they had to accumulate so much hair.

Roland suspected that the Withered Blood Family had mobilized dozens, or even hundreds, of witches, and then slowly gathered the necessary supplies over several years.

The Withered Blood Family must have thoroughly studied Duncan and may have devised a number of targeted spells.

Today, no matter how Duncan tried to escape, he wouldn't be able to. As soon as the Three Saints began to cast a spell on the puppet, Duncan would have to run back to the Blood Castle as soon as he ran out!
In addition to these dolls, the two saints' bags also contained seven top-grade rare items specially prepared for Duncan.

The two of them prepared these seven rare items, not just these, but they left the other items with their followers.

The Countess, three saints, and a dozen priests made it impossible for Duncan to escape.

The two saints and a dozen priests had a lot of things in their hands. In the bag of one of the saints, Roland saw a small booklet.

The booklet contained a list of names. After reviewing it, Roland's expression grew serious.

The people on the list all seemed to be withered blood wizards, and their identities might be the tower masters or city lords of the withered blood family in various places.

Judging from some of the content, the Countess seemed to have planned to have these people come together a long time ago. Or, in other words, these people were originally scheduled to come last night.

So, even if there was no problem in the laboratory last night, the Countess would have made up other reasons to ask them to come.

Judging from the bodies in the church, there weren't many tower masters and city lords, so most of the people were outside.

"The Countess must have made two preparations. If something goes wrong with the ceremony, it will be the people in the church who will die. But if the ceremony succeeds, Baron Dryblood will need the help of his family, and the towers and lords in the castle will come immediately." Roland discovered that the number of people in Dryblood Castle was probably far greater than expected.

"Which of these people are crazy and dead, and which are not crazy and dead? Will senior sister and Anna be caught up?"

"As long as they take the prisoner seed, there will definitely be a lot of deaths. I don't think many people will die."

Looking at the time, there were still twenty minutes left. Roland gathered his belongings and joined the servants, gathering the spoils with them.

During this process, Roland discovered some problems.

Judging from the objects, the people who turned into leeches seemed to be pre-prepared sacrifices. They were all very weak, and most of them were apprentices who were still chaste - very pure sacrifices.

These people may have taken something like the blood of the ancient gods beforehand, or perhaps been deeply infected with the mystic in some way. So after being sacrificed, their bodies would become prison species.

But some of those who turned into leeches were actually official wizards.

They are not elite wizards, but they are responsible for cooperating with the priests to perform the ceremony. They carry a lot of messy things with them. This shows that they are not the planned sacrifices.
But they unexpectedly turned into leeches.

Roland specifically checked the notes of several leeches and found that these people, without exception, had taken the prisoner seed.

Those who hadn't turned into leeches had more and better things on them. They seemed to be the descendants of the various tower masters and city lords in their families. They came here to witness the mystery.

These people are all elite wizards, and none of them take prisoner seeds.

Ordinary wizards all use prison seeds to improve themselves with the help of external forces.

The elite wizards seemed to be relying on their own strength to delve into the Bloody Path, trying to find a way that was not restricted by the Bloody Baron.

They succeeded, only to run into Helaka.

These people were inside the church, facing the deepest pollution, but instead of turning into leeches, they went mad and died.

So what about the city lords and pillars who are not in the church but outside?
Roland originally thought that these people had taken the prisoner seed, so they might all die, but now he saw that the elites of the Kuxue family did not take the prisoner seed!

They were walking on another Bloody Path, a Bloody Path that belonged exclusively to wizards and had little to do with the Bloody Baron.

Therefore, even if their strength is affected, they will not die.

Senior sister definitely can’t handle so many people!
Now, most of the elite wizards should be alive!
The senior student is using the Path of Truth to lure monsters, and everyone is probably going to chase her down with all their might.

At this time, no one would consider whose daughter she was.

If the Thousand-Eyed King learns that Withered Blood Castle is betraying its own people and colluding with Baron Withered Blood, they will be exterminated!
Therefore, whether considering leaving no one alive or considering the issue of the Path of Truth leaking out, everyone will do their best.

I thought there was no problem with my senior sister, but now she is in a life-or-death situation.

Roland frowned and thought to himself, "No, I have to think of a way."

Now, the team's combat supplies have been almost completely looted, and an hour has passed.

The blood-stained wizards should have run away with the senior.

As long as we can find a way to lure them back, both he and his senior sister can escape.

Roland couldn't help but look at the statue of Helaka.

These blood-stained wizards are the seniors who are hunting down her because of the Path of Truth and the issue of survivors.

As long as we let them know that it is meaningless to leave them alive, and that there is a more extraordinary path of truth here that they must move away immediately, some people will definitely come back.

But this alone was not enough. Roland also needed to make a huge noise, so that they would be terrified and abandon their senior sister and come back to put out the fire.

At that time, it would no longer be important to take any survivors. The most important thing would be to come back immediately to steal things and run away.

Roland planned to do three things.

"You should place all the extra spider silk in the church. Make sure that if anyone comes to steal the statue, they have to deal with these silks first."

After giving some instructions, Roland looked at the time and saw that there were still more than ten minutes left.

He restored both statues, and then, with his small hammer and chisel, he reshaped the 'Old Heraclea'.

With the help of a small hammer and chisel, Roland transformed the old Heraclea statue into a new Heraclea statue in just a few strokes.

But he thought about it for about ten minutes, and then changed the statue again.

After finishing, Roland wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Now, I've left many hidden traps in this Heracles Scripture. I guarantee that anyone who takes a look at it will know it's the real thing, but once they try to comprehend the contents, they'll go crazy!"

Roland has a great talent for driving people crazy.

After putting away the True Heracca Statue, Roland searched through the lady's skirt, finding the storage bag but not what he was looking for.

"Hiss, where's the magic ring? It's not gone either, is it? That's impossible. It was forged by the Thousand-Eyed King himself, and the goddess didn't eat it."

Suddenly, Roland remembered something and took out the real Heraka statue again.

He floated near the statue's arm and saw a ring on the tip of a finger with the number six pointing up.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief and took off the ring embedded in the tip of the statue's finger. Then he put away the statue and studied the ring.

"The scene inside the hall must be recorded, but there must be someone standing there. Wouldn't that mean everyone in the world would know that I was the one who did this evil thing?"

Sweat could not help but flow down Roland's face.

"Let the servants record it? The result will be the same. Everyone will eventually trace it back to me. Damn it! Even if I don't send a mass message, the Twilight Council will just have to come and investigate and find out everything that happened."

"Let's just go all the way!"

"If you want to be famous, be famous!"

As he spoke, Roland took out a fire vine cage and checked the shepherd tree sapling inside.

"We can't keep doing this. We have to give the Blood-Dried Wizards a chance to fight for the statue."

Roland took out the map, checked the escape route, and decided on the location to plant the trees.

Afterwards, he put away all his things, took out his magic ring, recorded a random video, and debugged it.

In an instant, Roland felt something unusual in the fat man Duncan's storage bag - the congressmen should have received it.

At the same time, the crystal balls on many corpses in the hall began to flicker - the blood-stained wizards should have been able to detect it as well.

Roland took out Duncan's crystal ball and used divination. Then the scene inside the church appeared in the crystal ball.

After watching for a while, Roland shook his head somewhat dissatisfied.

He took out the comb that Catherine had given him, combed his hair, and then threw the magic ring to the servant. He stood under the statue.

The servants chanted some incantations, and then Roland bowed slightly to the magic ring.

He did not explain the whole story, nor did he give any explanation about the statue. He only spoke three sentences in total.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Black Abyss is responsible for this horrific incident."

"Masters, Grand Masters, Tower Masters, and City Lords of the Withered Blood Clan, what lies before you is the very statue of 'Holy Blood Helaka,' which you created at the cost of betraying the Thousand-Eyed King. I'm afraid you don't have time to hunt down Princess Twilight now, for this statue and the entire Withered Blood Castle will be destroyed in an hour."

"In an hour, I will give the Blood Castle another gift. Whether you can snatch this statue before it grows up depends on your ability. Hurry."
