I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 250: The Squeaky Song, Enough to Become the Tower Master

There are very few Heracles in the East, so the original Heracles Path is definitely not as good as the Black Abyss Path!
But the Dry Blood Wizard is different. There are countless second-level Dry Blood Wizards!

Roland suspected that [Effect 1: Probability of advancing to a Level 2.5 wizard +%] was a benefit brought by the Heracles Path.

And that [Effect 2. Probability of advancing to the second-level wizard +7.5%] is the benefit brought by the Blood Path.

I am just getting started now, I am at level 0, and the probability of advancing to the second-level wizard will increase by 10%!

If you cultivate to level 2, then you will have a % chance of being promoted to a level wizard!
Roland thought to himself, "If I can make some powerful potions later, I'll have half the chance of becoming a second-level wizard!"

Can it be done with half certainty?
If the first breakthrough fails, the success rate of another breakthrough will be very slim.

Roland couldn't help but have an idea - to find something to eat for the delicate and easily bullied shepherdess.

There are so many gods in the South! They are all sent down from God!

But can the God of Heaven eat whatever he wants?

That place is nothing like the Bloody Castle. It's okay to kill them. With the Bloody Baron dead, no one will bother me anymore.

But there are churches in the South!
If I kill one of the gods in the church, not only will the church kill me, but once the other gods who descended from the church find out about this, won’t they all come to kill me and cause trouble for me?
It's like stirring up a hornet's nest!

Roland thought to himself, "Mrs. Helaka, Mrs. Helaka, you must have done this on purpose! You're seducing me again, you're such a devil!"

He sighed. Roland had just advanced to the middle stage of the first level, so he could indeed make some preparations for becoming a second-level wizard. But there was still a lot of time.

With my ability as a magnet, it’s hard to say whether I can survive to the second level!
Roland couldn't help but think of the three-headed snake he saw at the harbor. He always felt that there was trouble.

He couldn't help but look at the other benefit that the Shepherdess of Holy Blood had brought him.

Roland thought to himself: "Although the Black Abyss Path is poor in cultivation, it is very powerful in studying magic, using magic, resisting mysterious pollution and corroding enemies.
The Black Abyss Path should add 4 features, while the Shepherdess Path adds 6. In other words, it adds 3 plus 3.

Roland couldn't help but reveal a very strange expression.

The Road to the Dark Abyss comes from Alexandra, the senior. Because it couldn't be completely replicated, it was weakened and adapted by his brother-in-law, Lord Yig.

Therefore, the senior sister’s path may be 5 or even 6 characteristics.

Strictly speaking, the Shepherdess's Path only adds three new features. This means that the Black Abyss's Path is far more powerful than the Shepherdess's Path!
However, this shepherdess eats people. The more she eats, the more benefits she gets!
He just ate the Blood Baron a few days ago, so Shepherdess' Path now has 3 more traits! The total number of traits has increased from 3 to 3+3!
Roland looked at his emblem and found that he had an additional sacred emblem, and the power of the shadow emblem had increased.

[Holy Emblem: Purification +2, Requiem +2, All Magic Resistance +2]

【暗影纹章：黑暗魔法效果+2、暗影魔法抵抗+3、生效+4、恶化+4、异变+4】

Roland couldn't help but get excited.

He was already very clear about how much improvement the previous shadow emblem had given him in shadow magic.

In his excitement, Roland couldn't help but look at his shadow magic and holy magic.

When he saw this, he was completely confused.

He has an extra magic, this magic is both shadowy and sacred!
It has a great name, called 'Squeaky Gaga I'.

[Forbidden Technique: Squeaky I]

"What the hell is this? What kind of magic is this squeaky thing?!"

After taking a closer look, Roland was horrified, and then he showed an extremely strange expression.

Strictly speaking, this forbidden magic has some connection with Heraca's Hymn, 'Mind Blast' and 'Forbidden Transfiguration'.

Just now, when Roland was comprehending the path of truth, he had many inspirations. And Roland's magic book was in tune with him, like a loyal secretary, helping Roland summarize these ideas and create this magic.

It's magic, but it's a ballad!
The spell is the melody and lyrics, and it's very long. If you were to sing it, you could sing it over and over again for a whole day!
It does not consume mana, but consumes SAN value.

The longer the singer sings, the more SAN he loses.

And then, it doesn't have any attack power!

Just like the gentle Miss Heraca, it doesn't hurt anyone's life - but those who hear it will lose a lot of SAN.

Essentially, this song can pull people into the lower world.

The longer the listener listens to the song, the more screwed they become.

Who knows what will happen when their SAN is gone. Maybe they will think they are spiders and start crawling around everywhere.

As Roland repeatedly looked at the contents of "Squeaky", his expression became more and more strange.

He wrote down the spell, handed it to Catherine, and said something like this: "Do you think this spell is similar to the pattern on my magic carpet?"

After taking a look, Catherine gave Roland a look - do you want to listen to what you are saying? Take your damn thing away, I don't want to see it!
Roland rubbed his face.

A person insists that a spell and a picture are exactly the same. This person is somewhat ill.

But what if this person is an 'engineer' and the spells he writes are code?

It's like an engineer who wrote a string of code and then input it into a computer. The computer ran it for him and a small software appeared.

When engineers click on this small software, they can immediately discover the logic behind it and find that this software is the same as the "ghostly codes" they wrote.

But others can't see it.

This small software is 'Squeaky'.

The magic book is Roland's computer.

When Roland was weaving the magic carpet, he understood the 'code', and the magic book sorted it out and ran this software (magic).

Roland looked through the surface and saw the essence of the magic carpet and the magic. He realized that the magic came from the core of the magic carpet pattern, so Roland said they were very similar.

Catherine is also an engineer, but compared with Roland, the "low-level engineer", she is still too inexperienced.

She was still at the level of using a graphical interface and had a basic understanding of assembly languages ​​like C++. But what Roland wrote wasn't even assembly language, it was 0101. It was impossible for a normal engineer (or wizard) to understand it.

Catherine said that what Roland showed her was a ghost, but she secretly used the magic book to copy the spell and the pattern of the magic carpet and secretly studied them.

After taking a look, she rubbed her forehead.

It was a song that didn’t have any magic words on it.

Catherine asked, "Isn't this the 'Shepherdess' Hymn' of the Heraclian Church?"

Catherine sang a song, her voice was ethereal and beautiful, but a little weird.

After singing for a while, Catherine rubbed her forehead. "There's something wrong with the rhythm of your song. This isn't a hymn, it's forbidden magic, and a very evil kind of forbidden magic."

After a pause, Catherine looked at Roland with a strange expression and said, "Is this the song you heard from the goddess Helaka? Does it have lyrics?"

Although Catherine didn't have time to peek at the time, she later learned a lot from little Jimmy.

She knew what Hraka had been singing, and she had also heard some noises on the other side of the castle, so she was pretty sure it was the creaking noise.

Roland didn't know that Catherine had planted a little spy next to him, and thought she heard it from a distance.

Roland nodded and said, "The lyrics are the same, but I changed the rhythm a little bit."

Catherine was stunned.

Normal people hear only creaking and squeaks, but this guy hears singing!

Not only that, this guy is talking about "music" with me!
Music, you big-headed fool! That creaking sound is just noise, and you're telling me there's music?!
Roland tried to sing, but was shocked to find that his singing was not as good as Catherine's!

Obviously, I am the adaptor and creator of this song, but I can't sing it as well as her.

After discussing it with Catherine, Roland suddenly understood. He had indeed adapted the piece, but he also couldn't sing it well.

And Catherine is a singer! She sings better than the arranger herself.

To put it bluntly, this magic is about music!
As a bard, even though Roland has reached the master level in the art of barding, his skills are still unconventional and cannot be put on the stage.

He could be hailed as a bard master in taverns, but he could not perform in the opera houses of the nobles.

No matter how talented a bard is, he is still a wild one.

No matter how well you write doggerel, you are not a great writer!

He needs to study music systematically.

At present, Roland cannot distinguish the five notes, and relies entirely on his sense. As for musical instruments, he only knows the "accordion".

"Squeaky Gaga" is a serious hymn. When it is officially performed, many kinds of instruments are used, at least a piano!
Of course, you can sing a cappella, but if you don't understand these things and your understanding of the music is not enough, then the result will be at this level.

Roland was a little depressed. He made something himself, but he couldn't sing it as well as Catherine.

However, he soon felt relieved - I am a songwriter, and naturally different from a singing musician.

Catherine is a true aristocrat. She has been trained in various ways by her family since she was born. She has also lived two lives. In her previous life, when she was free, she often studied some art, music and so on.

I am just a little hooligan who grew up in a country lord's house and hung out with mercenaries all day long. I definitely cannot compare with them in terms of cultural literacy.

Even if she stopped being a wizard and became a musician, she would be a great musician and a big star.

As for Roland, if he stopped being a wizard and became a mercenary, well, you know what, he might not be doing worse than he is now.

Maybe he could form a 'Second Son Mercenary Group' and become the lover of the Dragon Queen.

Catherine was knowledgeable and told Roland about the original Shepherdess's Song.

Catherine understood this very well. She told Roland that the original Shepherdess' Song was a serious sacred song.

The general content of the song is about the story of a beautiful and kind shepherdess and her sheep, which is very naive.

Believers use the shepherdess as a metaphor for the goddess, and her sheep are the lost souls.

This song can soothe the soul and drive away evil spirits. After listening to it, the evil spirits will calm down and even be directly liberated to the afterlife.

Since anyone can sing it, anyone who sings it well can drive out evil spirits! Therefore, it was included in the "Divine Comedy" of the Southern Church and is known as the Three Great Sacred Songs.

Therefore, Heraclea is a very respected benevolent god in the south.

Not only that, she was once a wizard.

"Wizard?" Roland couldn't help but show a strange look when he heard Catherine say that Helaka used to be a wizard.

Catherine showed an admiring look and said, "Yes, she had a high level of attainment in necromancy and medicine in her early years and was one of the first three sages in this world.
After becoming a god, a wizard becomes far more powerful than those higher-dimensional beings who achieve godhood solely through external forces like faith, and their tactics are even more bizarre. Strength cannot be judged by godhood or status; even without godhood or status, one can still defeat many gods.

She was a pioneer who once spread a lot of magical knowledge.

But like my father, she eventually embarked on the path of faith in order to go further.

She believed we couldn't win, and she bowed to the gods for their godhood and throne, even going so far as to side with them during the Battle of the Wall.

Therefore, wizards have mixed opinions about her.

Some consider this great sage a traitor, while others believe she is a great pioneer who brought truth (magic) to the world.

When you get to the south, you can study the history of theology. A wizard must study the gods. But such precious information is rare in the East.

After listening to this, Roland showed a very strange expression.

Which Heracha is this?
Is it the original shepherdess or that crazy woman?
Roland's intuition told him that the shepherdess Catherine was talking about was Helaka.

Because the original shepherdess has been replaced, there will be great changes in the history and people's memory of Him.

Moreover, his hymn is essentially forbidden magic! The same forbidden magic that Grandpa Augustus had researched!

It is impossible for a god who becomes a god through faith to research forbidden magic.

Therefore, the witch Catherine was talking about was most likely Helaka.

So... that madman was a wizard before?
The trick he used to deal with the Bloody Baron was also a forbidden magic?
No wonder the SAN loss was so strange!

No wonder that guy is a little bit crazy. Wizards who study this kind of weird magic all have some mental problems!
It turns out that it was not the goddess Heraka, but the ancestor Heraka!
So what level of wizard is he?
The Bloody Baron couldn't last more than a few moves in his hands. I wonder who is more powerful, Heraka or the Lord of Yellow Fern.

Perhaps we have to go to the south to find out all this.

Catherine stood up and stroked her head with both hands, and the horns disappeared.

She said, "Come on, I'll go with you to see the piano."

The senior student originally planned to send Roland here.

But she wanted to stay with her lover for a while longer.

Roland said happily, "Okay."

Catherine secretly looked at the picture of "The Shepherdess and the Devil" on the way, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong.

This, this seems to be a book of secret cultivation techniques!

This guy figured out the path to the first gate of truth in just three days?!
Catherine plans to integrate some of the concepts of the Black Abyss with this path. Catherine is not sure to what extent the integration can be achieved, but it will definitely give formal wizards a better chance of success when they touch the second door of truth in the future.

There were many things Catherine didn't understand about this picture, so she pretended to talk about this and that, like a teacher testing a student, and secretly asked about the parts she didn't understand.

Roland naturally knew everything, so he discussed the truth with her.

He thought that the senior knew more than him, but after hearing her say that she planned to integrate the concept of the Black Abyss into the Heracari Path and intended to teach it to him, Roland couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He became a disciple of his senior sister again.

Little did they know that this pretentious mentor Catherine would become Roland's first disciple.

As she continued to discuss with Roland, Catherine's heart was filled with huge waves.

This is not the path of truth left by Heraka, but the path of truth that Roland realized!
In other words, this is a path of truth that Roland opened up after comprehending the veil of Heraclea and then interpreting it with the ideas of Alayeh!
It has no side effects. Or rather, it has a hidden side effect.

This hidden function comes from the fact that Roland's painting "The Shepherdess and the Devil" contains something indescribable.

If you watch too much, you will go crazy.

However, if you watch it often, it will greatly increase your resistance to indescribable things.

Wizards who practice this secret technique will be able to accept those indescribable mysterious things more easily.

In other words, you can exercise your SAN value and cognitive ability.

This is a path discovered by a wizard! An independent path!

It shares the same origin as Helaka, but after practicing it, it will not be affected by the gods.

Catherine didn't know which was better, Roland's adaptation or the original version created by the great sage Helaka. But "The Shepherdess and the Devil" could be considered a secret book of an ancient sage!
This thing must be used directly by the Black Abyss apprentices. Thinking about this, many Black Abyss wizards will become Roland's disciples in the future!

This is completely different from being a mentor!
The mentor is responsible for guiding apprentices and imparting the tower master's philosophy.

And Roland taught his own philosophy!

With just this thing, Roland can erect a tall tower in the abyss!
