I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 253 Slave, I am the Messenger of Doom

In fact, the Black Abyss apprentices had dissected various sea monsters. In other words, in the Black Abyss Academy, the Black Abyss wizards would dissect most of the creatures on the continent for the apprentices to understand.

But Roland didn't learn the basics well, and he hadn't taken this class much, so it was the first time he even saw what a Naga looked like.

Only then did Roland notice that a slave trader had been carefully shielding the girl with a large umbrella, fearing that she would get wet.

But some rain still fell on her body, and fins could be seen starting to grow on her legs.

It seemed that if she came into contact with too much water, her legs would turn into the tail of a sea serpent.

This is an auction, so her long and beautiful legs must be exposed to make them valuable.

However, this group of Black Sails has been in the south for too long and does not understand the wizards of the northern eastern border.

People don't like normal human-shaped slaves. If they make her look a little weird and authentic, she can be auctioned for a better price.

Catherine said, "These idiots are selling her cheap. She must be a noble among the sea witches. Did you see the earring holes on her head? And the marks on her horns? That's a noble headdress. I just don't know what the magic rings on her horns originally looked like."

A low-level apprentice with a magic ring on his horns must be of extraordinary status.

However, before being caught, this little girl seemed to have taken all her belongings and thrown them away, otherwise she would have been in dire straits.”

Catherine looked at Roland and said, "A discerning person can still tell her status. The more noble the slave's status, the more the Twilight Wizard likes to torture her."

Roland looked at Catherine with a strange expression: "Why are you telling me this?"

Catherine said, "Don't you want to learn music? Those pirates know nothing about music! Give her 800 magic stones! Buy her now!"

Catherine said cruel words, but she couldn't bear to see the little girl suffer.

Roland sighed and started bidding.

To be honest, he really didn't want to bring such a burden with him on the road. Besides, he had too many secrets, and after buying her, he definitely couldn't let her go. If he didn't let her go, how would he accommodate her in the south?

Everyone present seemed to be knowledgeable, and there seemed to be quite a few fleeing Blood-Bleeding Wizards around. So there were a lot of wealthy people!
The original starting price for this item was 120 magic stones, but the bid was actually raised to 2200 magic stones!

After taking this shot, Roland decided not to take any more pictures.

A lowly apprentice slave. Absolutely crazy!

Roland looked at the groups of people bidding not far away and thought to himself, "There's definitely something fishy about this siren's identity. Let's avoid this trouble; it's not worth it."

Soon, the bid reached eight thousand magic stones!

The group of human traffickers were all red-faced, with veins popping out on their faces, and they kept shouting.

"Eight thousand six hundred and seventy magic stones! Eight thousand six hundred and seventy magic stones! Anyone else want them?!"

Amid the shouts of the traffickers, several groups of bidders showed very ugly expressions. After hesitating for a moment, the wizards stopped bidding.

Seeing this, the group of men in black who had won the bid breathed a sigh of relief. They sneered at the mermaid on the stage. The mermaid seemed to recognize them and was so frightened that she almost fainted. Little Pearl was crying so hard that she fell to the ground.

"Eight thousand six hundred and seventy magic stones for the first and second time."

——“Ten thousand!”

At this time, a woman calmly extended her hand.

Roland looked at the woman blankly—it was Catherine who had just bid.

Roland said dully, "What are you doing?"

Catherine looked at Roland and said coldly, "Let go."

Roland: "."

The senior student and the group started bidding frantically, and Roland's face darkened as he watched from the side.

The group's faces were also dark.

Roland looked at those people carefully and found that some of the decorations hanging inside their robes were very similar to the patterns he had seen on the "three-headed sea serpent" before.

——"Fifteen thousand!"

The senior student was still bidding. Roland's face grew increasingly grim as he watched the murderous gaze of the group. There was a second-level wizard there, his gaze exceptionally sharp. As he sized up Roland, he felt as if he'd been seen through.

He couldn't help but recall the palpitating feeling he had when he was looking at the strange snake from afar on the seashore.

Roland held Catherine's hand and said, "What are you doing? I'm about to get on the boat. Can you please not cause me any trouble?"

Catherine patted Roland's hand with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, no more shouting - take the money."

Roland: “?”

At this moment, Roland heard hammers banging hard on the stage.

——"Twenty thousand magic stones for the third time! Deal!!!"

The group of men in black gave this side a vicious look and left angrily.

Their final look of "I'll fucking remember you" made Roland look extremely ugly.

It turned out that the group had just bid up to 16,000, but Catherine directly bid 20,000.

Who the hell has so many magic stones?
Yes, I came here to buy someone today, but who could have imagined the bid would be so high?!

They originally thought that ten thousand would be the maximum, so in order to prevent any accidents, they brought more than eighteen thousand magic stones.

As they expected, things turned out just as they expected. There were some minor incidents and the news leaked out. The group of sirens got the news and rushed over.

But luckily it was just a minor inconvenience, because the Sirens only had two hours left!

The Sirens did not understand the wizards' Philosopher's Stone technology, so they could only secretly plunder merchant ships behind the Hydra to obtain the magic stone.

They were indeed able to accumulate a wave of magic stones frequently, but their father had just severely exploited and plundered the Naga tribe some time ago, so in such a short period of time, they only managed to collect more than 8,000 magic stones.

I thought it would cost more than 10,000 magic stones, but it turned out that these sirens were even worse than I imagined. Haha.

The three-headed snakes couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, this is the north (eastern border), and it would be difficult to deal with if the sirens really took the princess away.

I thought I had taken down these 8,000+ magic stones, but a group of Twilight Wizards showed up unexpectedly!
Damn Twilight Wizard!
There were too many of them, seven second-level wizards. The three-headed snakes didn't dare to cause trouble inland, and they couldn't defeat so many people, so they left in anger.

On this side, after the senior sister took the photo, Roland naturally refused to pay.

The senior student nodded with a smile and threw a storage bag to the Blood Lord beside her.

Several Blood Lords took the senior sister's storage bag and went up to pay the money. The human trafficker thanked them profusely, took the money, handed over the things, and slipped away.

Originally, they had a batch of goods to sell, but now they had such a large order, the traffickers knew they had accidentally captured a formidable slave, so they immediately ran away.

The crowd slowly dispersed. Some people looked at Roland and his group with ill intentions, but when they saw the strength of Roland and his group, they immediately broke out in cold sweat and walked away with their heads lowered.

So many second-level wizards actually appeared at the harbor together and fled to the south in groups!

It seems that something big is really going to happen in the East.

Soon, the poor little mermaid was brought over by the Blood Lords. She was terrified.

Although the strength of these people cannot be seen, they all exude a terrifying demonic aura.

In her terror, she subconsciously moved closer to Roland—he exuded a pure and holy aura. It was an aura of supreme goodness and purity that subconsciously gave her a great sense of security.

Roland sighed and put a piece of clothing on her.

At Catherine's signal, the Blood Lord standing by held an umbrella for her to prevent her from getting wet and having difficulty walking.

The senior student smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, little one. What's your name?"

The little Naga showed a surprised expression. She obviously couldn't understand the common language, but she could understand what the witch said.

She uttered a single word: "Saren." Catherine raised her eyebrows: "Saren. Saren, as expected, haha, as expected!"

Catherine gave Roland a familiar look - in the Naga prophecy, there was a person named Siren, Saren or Seren who would become the new king, untie the shackles of the Naga clan, and let them gain true freedom!
There are many Nagas named "Siren", and they don't know which one is the person in the prophecy.

But with just one candidate, the Twilight wizards can interfere with her future and train her to become the one in the prophecy.

Roland sighed and thought to himself, "I knew it. Senior Sister wouldn't do anything without a reason. How could she be nice to someone for no reason?"
Not to mention strangers, even when it came to Roland, Catherine would often secretly plot against him, but Roland would always outmaneuver her. The two of them enjoyed playing this game.

This pair of dogs are birds of a feather. They both want to win over the other and dominate the other in some things.

Roland thought to himself, "She's busy with Lord Yellow Fern's affairs right now, so how could she have the energy to care about things in the south? When I get to the south, this secret line she left behind will probably fall on me again."

Catherine and Roland comforted the little Naga and then took her away.

However, Catherine did not go directly to the harbor, but went directly to the big castle in the harbor.

This harbor was a neutral city, allowing anyone to enter. The city's lord was also renowned and powerful. Both the Three-Headed Snake and the Black Sails showed respect, daring not to cause trouble in this inland area, where dark wizards congregated.

In name, the city lord is neutral, but is there any permanently neutral city in this world?

This harbor is so important that White and Twilight have been engaged in a constant struggle. Recently, Twilight has become increasingly assertive, forcing White to initiate negotiations. And the city lord has long since adapted to the situation, secretly serving as a pawn to the Thousand-Eyed King.

Soon, everyone came to a small alley near the castle.

Outside the alley is the large castle in the harbor. Recently, many people have come to the harbor, and to prevent people from getting tired of living and running wild, the city lord usually stays in the castle to meditate.

In the middle of the alley, Catherine stopped and said, "Everyone, if you don't show up, I will take this little guy into the castle."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow moved in the water, and then six men in black robes crawled out.

Roland took a closer look and found that this group of people was the same group that had previously bid against the three-headed snakes.

A closer look revealed that the skin exposed beneath these people's hoods had some scales on it - there were no scales there before.

I don’t know if it’s because it was wet or if it was to reveal his identity.

They are all Nagas, and when they take off their hoods, they are all women.

Male Nagas are too large, and their magic isn't as powerful as their female counterparts, making them easily spotted by powerful wizards. Furthermore, it was raining today, making it even easier to reveal one's identity. Therefore, the only ones who came were female sirens, skilled in disguise.

The leader of the six Nagas actually has four arms.

Multi-arms is a symbol of the Naga gods. Nagas with four or more arms are all royals - but they must be adults.

Some Nagas who have entered the second stage can also activate their ancient bloodline and grow a second pair of arms.

After they appeared, their faces were hesitant, but they were extremely respectful.

The leading Naga stretched out her arms and legs, crossed them in front of her chest and bowed. She spoke the common language very well, but if you listened carefully, you would find that her voice was a little strange.

It's like singing, with a slightly elf-like accent.

"Noble and powerful witch, we have no intention of offending you. We simply hope to make a deal with you."

The Naga leader spoke a lot and was very sincere, but they only had more than 8,000 magic stones.

But they made many solemn promises.

Catherine listened to them very politely, but what she said next was very rude.

She spoke in a haughty tone, "It's well known that the Naga clan has no credibility. Therefore, your despicable promise is worthless to me. Even if you put aside your notorious reputation, you are still a group of slaves, and the promises of slaves are equally worthless."

The Naga leader's expression stiffened slightly.

The once glorious maritime empire had indeed become a slave state. And the demigod Hydra was the slave owner who wielded the whip in place of the gods.

Catherine continued, "However, I am willing to give you a chance to break free from your shackles. You don't naively think that as long as you follow the prophecy given by God and have a new king, you can obtain a piece of promised land from God and establish your own kingdom, right?

Haha, you just changed from being a slave of one master to being a slave of another master, or from being sent from the sheepfold of a farm to being sent to the slaughterhouse.

Let's be realistic, as sheep you can never be free from the hands of the farmer.

The only way for you to be free is to do what we did, drive out the farmers and become human beings from sheep!
——The Thousand-Eyed King can help you shatter the 'Sea God Stone'."

Many Nagas were horrified.

Although the Nagas did not take Catherine's first words to heart, her latter words struck them in the heart.

The so-called Poseidon Stone is actually what wizards call an 'anchor point', which can be used to travel to another dimension.

Items like the Poseidon Stone are what the gods use to anchor this world. Once it is destroyed, the gods cannot descend.

The wizards of the East Territory have obviously made a lot of preparations. Because even among the Naga clan, not many people know about the Sea God Stone.

Some people know that there may be such a thing, but they don't know what it is called specifically.

Therefore, the wizards of the Eastern Territory had long been eyeing this thing, and seizing it was part of their plan.

Wizards and sirens do share a common goal: they all dislike gods.

Catherine reached out and patted the little Naga's shoulder. Then, several spells flashed on her body. The spells disappeared in a flash.

After seeing those spells, the Naga leader's pupils shrank again. She was sure that the witch had left something on the little princess, but she couldn't feel it!
The witch had clearly branded the little princess with a spell in front of her, but she couldn't feel it!
What kind of magic is this?
Many of the senior sister's magic are of a level that can only be comprehended by a level 5 wizard, so the Nagas naturally cannot see it.

Catherine smiled and said, "Don't panic. I bought her to save her, not to hurt her. And as my disciple, I should naturally leave a small magical mark on her so that we can keep in touch."

The corners of the Nagas' mouths twitched.

There is nothing wrong with a wizard marking you for communication purposes.

But, this is Twilight Wizard!
They only need one hair of yours to make you suffer a fate worse than death. What's more, they have left a magical mark on your body?
The Nagas know the terrifying power of the Twilight Wizards, but they don't understand their magic. Even if they can find a way to free the princess from the curse, as long as the mark cannot be removed, the Twilight Wizards will be able to locate the princess at all times!

This will mean that the entire tribe will be exposed to the sight of the Twilight Wizards, which means that if they are unhappy, the Thousand-Eyed King's people will come to kill them at any time!

However, the Nagas were overthinking it. Catherine had no intention of harming the little Naga. She didn't need to control it this way.

She will be able to see the little Naga anytime and anywhere and chat with her in her dreams.

She will teach her carefully and establish a strong mentor-disciple relationship with her. The little Naga will become her own, and she will be supported and supported.

Therefore, Catherine's purpose in leaving the mark was not to hurt her, nor to cause trouble for the Naga clan.

But she did it on purpose for these people to see.

She wanted to let the Nagas know what she could do and what they should be careful about when doing business with her.

The Nagas of this world once had a glorious civilization. Like the elves, they once had an ancient and powerful empire, the true overlords of the ocean.

But they did not seize the opportunity during the Battle of the Wall and failed to become the first people to undergo magical reform like the wizards.

At the same time, they were on the wrong side.

They stood firmly on God's side, but the gift God gave them in return was divine punishment.

Just like many stories in the Bible, God destroyed the Naga empire with a disaster, and then instructed several prophets to allow some Naga to survive - this is what their God called salvation.

The Nagas became more god-fearing and more in need of gods.

Now, they are in danger of losing their lives under the control of the gods. For the sake of survival and future, reputation and gratitude have long been worthless to them.

Therefore, it is not enough to communicate with the Nagas with credibility alone, unless they feel fear while being grateful.

Roland thought to himself, "The Naga tribe is the foundation of the Hydra. As long as we control the Naga tribe, we will have a breakthrough in the Hydra's affairs. When we go south, I'm afraid we will have to deal with various demon tribes."
Roland felt that he might become the Thousand-Eyed King's spokesperson and messenger in the south.

Or the Thousand-Eyed God.

To the North, the Thousand-Eyed King, though a 'demon cult leader,' is a true sage, a pioneer on the path of truth, and the leader of a human rebellion seeking to completely expel the gods' rule.

But it is different for the church in the south. He is a true heretic and evil god!
It’s the God of Doomsday!
As the messenger of His Majesty the Thousand-Eyed King, he is naturally the messenger of Doomsday.
