I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 256: The crazy artifact, this stinky woman!

In a cozy underwater apartment, a beautiful and cool lady was kneeling on the ground, looking at the magic carpets with shining eyes. A tall and handsome man was sitting on a chair, covering his head and looking at the armor and battle robe standing in front of him.

I don’t know for which big client this set of armor and battle robe was designed, or whether it was intended to be used as a model for the store’s treasure. It is very tall, like the armor and battle robe worn by a demigod.

But compared to this man, the armor is still a few centimeters smaller.

After looking at it for a while, the young man nodded. "It's not a big deal. The battle robe doesn't need to be altered. It's okay if it's a little bigger or smaller. The armor just needs some minor adjustments to the buckles and joints."

The beautiful lady turned around and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lord Roland, I will provide editing services~~"

The young man's face darkened and he didn't want to pay any attention to her.

These two people were Roland and Catherine. Just now, under the pressure of the creditor, Roland confessed everything about the fake holy garment.

Catherine took his ring and dimensional bag and counted her spoils.

Roland didn't have 70,000 magic stones, but Catherine was attracted by his magic carpets and asked Roland to pick seven to reweave for her in three days.

She'll definitely pick out the seven best ones! If this stuff is resold southward, the price will be several times higher!

Roland sighed, "Oh, the private money I saved with great difficulty."
This guy still has the nerve to sigh here. He totally deserves it!
If he had just confessed the truth, the senior would have calmed down about Roland's secret substitution.

Then he took another magic carpet and re-wove it for the senior sister, and the senior sister gave the pseudo-saint robe to Roland.

He had to feel bad about the money he spent on this magic carpet, but now he has lost seven.

However, there were only seven magic carpets. Roland had swept away all the magic carpets in the gallery and had dozens in his hands.

At this time, Roland had already started reading Alaye's notebook on the table.

The Alaye Notebook could record everything Roland saw and heard. After searching through it, he found the records of "Human Skin Town".

Here Roland found the description of the Flower Moss Vestment.

【Flower Moss Vestment】

[Effect: All magic resistance +23%, magic damage -2, magic recovery +1, magic effect +1]

Roland took out a crystal ball and magic wand, and used magic to identify the fake holy garment on the armor. The crystal ball showed nine lines of different shapes and colors, representing the various conditions of the item.

The Alayeh Codex compiled this information:
[Darius's Holy Robe (Fake)]

【效果：全系魔法抵抗+76%、魔法伤害-6、意志力+3、异变与污染抵抗+2、力量+2、恢复+2、祈祷效果+2、圣火效果+1】

[Special Effect: God's help, there is a chance to borrow the power of God when praying.]

Roland examined the armor again.

Darris's Armor

【效果：全系魔法抵抗+42%、魔法伤害-3、意志力+1、力量+1、施法成功率-30%、施法时间-30%、施法效果-30%；】

This holy robe not only has 9 positive effects, 5 more than the armor, but its magical protection is even stronger than this set of armor!

After putting on the armor and battle robe, the magic immunity reaches a terrifying number of 118%!
Unless one masters magic emblems such as 'Fire Emblem' and 'Shadow Emblem', and the magic has a powerful corrosive effect like 'Desecration', it is impossible to penetrate it!
If certain physical cultivators cultivate their secret techniques to a certain level, their own force fields can resist magic. Add to that some amulets and protective artifacts, and wearing this set of armor and battle robes can significantly increase magic resistance!

Roland was excited and thought to himself, "This holy robe is incredible!

The Holy Fire effect strengthens the Dawn Fire's effect, while Willpower increases SAN. The Prayer effect likely refers to the ability to communicate with the gods and draw upon their power.
My creaky, awful voice, my 'Shepherdess' Song' is a sacred song, and southern things enhance the effectiveness of my magic!"

Originally, when Roland sang "The Shepherdess' Song," the effect was quite ordinary. But if he sang it in this pseudo-saint's robe, it would be completely different.

Roland stood up, put on his robe, and sang a few lines. Then Catherine covered her ears, turned around and glared at Roland, giving him a stern warning.

Dayou: Then sing it again, and I, your mentor, will give you a taste of what Ava means by eating a big melon.

Roland happily took off his holy robe and thought to himself, "With the equipment's bonus, my hymn is even better than Catherine's. Once I've mastered the rhythm, what will the effect be if I use it with the hymn to create a "mad theory"?

Roland has always had a hidden trick, which is to tell others crazy theories.

There have been many such cases - during a mysterious incident, Roland suddenly said something, and then the SAN of the people around him began to drop wildly.

This is because he has not yet demonstrated his full potential, or it is because others do not understand his theory of insanity.

If you were in that situation and suddenly understood the crazy theory, your SAN would definitely be cleared.

Its effectiveness has been verified in places such as the 'White Fang Town Bathhouse', the 'Forbidden Land of the End', the 'Rainbow City', the 'Stone Bridge of the Withered Blood Castle', and the 'Church of the Withered Blood Castle'.

After talking to Roland for a few words, Kayla's group all went crazy.

After the Holy Servant attained enlightenment, the coral tree was born.

Barnett of Rainbow City turned into crystal after his enlightenment.

And poor Mr. Roderick, after understanding Roland's few words, was killed by salt.

Even the Countess turned into Helaka after her enlightenment!
This is what happens when SAN is suddenly cleared in a mysterious incident!
Roland's "Madness" was clearly a very powerful move. It was practically a sure-kill technique for execution!

Simply put, Roland's secret weapon is to drag others into going crazy with him!
The more crazy he is, the more lucid he becomes, but others are doomed when they become crazy.

However, this trick is subject to severe restrictions when used, that is, it can only produce miraculous effects in an environment with mysterious pollution.

Otherwise it's just plain madness.

As for wizards like Twilight Wizard and Black Abyss Wizard, these psychopaths are getting stronger and stronger as they get crazier. In a non-polluted environment, telling them crazy theories is like giving them a buff!
But if they suddenly have an epiphany in a contaminated area, the situation will be different.

Therefore, Roland's ultimate move requires the presence of pollution.

The song "Squeaky Gaga" is obviously a form of pollution!
If you master this technique, you can even replicate the environment of the Blood Castle Church!
At that time, as long as the enemy's SAN is not as high as Roland's, who can withstand hearing Roland's sudden words?

The originally desperate situation was immediately reversed, and everyone had to follow Roland and hold their heads and laugh.

It's no big deal if Roland goes crazy due to the pollution of Helaka, but if someone else goes crazy, they will turn into strange things!
Thinking of this, Roland broke out in a cold sweat: "To sum it up this way, this is not a hymn at all, it's simply a forbidden spell!"

Ever since Roland arrived at the harbor and saw the three-headed snake's ship, he had been feeling a little uneasy.

Now that he had this card in his hand, the feeling of palpitations suddenly disappeared a lot, and he felt relaxed all over.

Once this person has free time, he will start looking for trouble.

Roland couldn't help but secretly glance at his senior. She was lying on one of the magic carpets, excited, her butt sticking out, round and perky.

He quietly stretched out his hand.

Suddenly, the senior student frowned and turned to look at Roland.

But he found Roland identifying something with a serious look on his face.

Catherine couldn't help but show a strange expression on her face. She just felt someone touching her butt.

It's definitely not magic or anything like that, maybe it's an illusion.

As Catherine continued to examine the magic carpets, Roland looked at her strangely. He thought to himself, "That's impossible. He can even sense this? He must be looking back at me for some other reason."

Roland's little action was a little bit embarrassing. It can't be said to be a little embarrassing, but very embarrassing!

Catherine's alert look just now made him feel a little guilty, so he pretended to identify another ordinary battle robe.

After the appraisal was completed, Roland was stunned for a long time.

Darris's Tabard

【效果：全系魔法抵抗+22%、魔法伤害-2、意志力+1、异变与污染抵抗+1、祈祷效果+1】

Roland thought to himself, "Darius, it seems this is a series of things! I wonder which god's name this is, or the name of a saint."

Roland had long suspected that the battle robe and the pseudo-saint robe were related. Otherwise, they wouldn't look exactly the same, and the saint robe was mistaken for an ordinary battle robe and placed with the other battle robes and armor. But he hadn't expected that the pseudo-saint robe was actually the template for these battle robes.

Roland thought to himself, "It seems these Darius battle robes are all imitations of this fake holy robe."

Roland couldn't help but look at the armor and the cloak behind it. He thought to himself, "Looks like they have Darius's holy armor and cloak. If I could collect them all, they would definitely be very useful!"

After thinking for a moment, Roland shook his head.

Judging from their magic resistance, the knights of the South were even more formidable than he had imagined. These physical cultivators were probably no less prestigious than wizards in the South.

He planned to have Catherine modify this armor for him before wearing it. Catherine had a deep understanding of various magical techniques, and when it came to the art of alchemy, Roland had no problem calling her his mentor.

As for the three disgusting side effects of the armor, it doesn't matter.

When I was in the south, I would definitely not use the magic-equipped paladin in public.

After all, the magic of the East is considered black magic in the eyes of the South. The magic of Twilight and Black Abyss in the East is considered the blackest magic among black magic in the eyes of the South!

Roland's black magic has a high chance of contamination and mutation, so he doesn't use it in his daily work.

Therefore, unless he encountered a powerful enemy and intended to leave no one alive, this dark wizard disguised as a paladin would use magic to reveal his ugly face.

So, those three nasty side effects don’t matter.

Besides, all his spells had basically been cultivated to level 6. This -30% thing would be fatal to those rookies, but for him, his spellcasting success rate had long been overflowing.

He could barely cast magic in the silent realm. It was just a set of armor, but after putting it on, his spellcasting success rate would be close to 100%.

As for the casting time, Roland's magic, if he were to chant a spell, would take a long time. However, most of the spells he cast were effortless, and except for those that required guidance, he basically didn't need to use spells.

Strictly speaking, many of the magic spells of the Eastern wizards have lengthy incantations, but these incantations are meant for beginners to learn.

Not to mention efficient butchers like Black Abyss and Twilight, even White Wizards rarely chant spells and make useless gestures when using magic.

Therefore, the negative effect of increasing the casting time is negligible to Roland.

In other words, the spellcasting effect is considered a seal. However, his magic is not only of a high level, but also has the enhanced effect of the emblem on shadow magic and fire magic. A 30% reduction is about the same as a normal Eastern wizard.

Roland raised his head happily and looked at Catherine over there, intending to ask Lady Catherine to help him measure his body and modify his armor.

Lady Catherine was kneeling there at this time, sighing repeatedly at the magic carpet that had piled up like a small hill in front of her. She looked at the magic carpet, then at the crystal ball, and then wrote on the magic book floating in the air.

It looked like he was counting money.

Roland looked at it for a while, then he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
Catherine frowned and glanced back at Roland, who was flipping through a book seriously. He was making strange hand gestures in the air, as if he was studying a new seal.

Roland's suspicion was ruled out again.

Shaking her head secretly, Catherine changed her posture and knelt on a magic carpet. Under her black long skirt, a white jade foot was half-hidden.

After a moment, she frowned again and looked back at Roland, only to find that he hadn't done anything.

Lady Catherine couldn't help but feel very confused.

She clearly felt someone touching her. This feeling was very strange, not the feeling of being touched by an object, but a feeling in her heart.

Just now I felt someone touching my butt, and now I feel like someone is touching my feet?
Catherine couldn't help but glance at her feet in confusion. Suddenly, she realized something and, in disbelief, used remote viewing to observe Roland behind her.

There was a magic crystal lamp in the room, which was very bright. But Roland had specially turned on the table lamp on his desk.

His hand, which was studying the seal, happened to cast a shadow on the lamp, and that shadow fell on Lady Catherine's jade feet.

It turned out that Roland hadn't used any magic. He hadn't touched anyone, he was just playing with shadows!

But Catherine was a witch, a real witch. She had a strong intuition, and even if someone mentioned her name while talking about her from a distance, she would be alert. And Roland was doing such a despicable thing right in front of her!

That hand movement is disgusting.

At this time, the shrimp-headed man noticed that Catherine was busy with something and slowly put his head on the lamp. At first he didn't look down so much.

Because from the perspective, the position of his mouth shadow initially coincides with the position of Lady Catherine's nose.

As a result, this shrimp-headed man actually pouted a few times! It looked like he was licking Lady Catherine's nose from this perspective!
Then, he pretended to change his sitting position and his eyes came to the half-hidden jade feet of Lady Catherine under her dress.
Catherine felt sick in her heart, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll let you kiss me!"
Lady Catherine stomped her feet a few times with a look of disdain on her face, and the shrimp-headed man became even more excited.

This time, Lady Catherine almost fainted from anger.

She stood up slowly with eyes as cold as ice and looked at Roland coldly.

Roland turned his head seriously and looked at Catherine with an inquiring look. He said very gentlemanly, "What's the matter, Lady Catherine?"

Catherine nodded deeply. She decided to teach this brat an unforgettable lesson.

"nothing."

Lady Catherine walked to the sofa not far away with a smile and sat down there. Then she picked up her wand and waved it at the pile of magic carpets on the ground. Then all the magic carpets on the ground disappeared.

Roland's expression suddenly turned very ugly.

He frowned and looked at Catherine and said, "Miss Catherine, what do you mean?"

Catherine said in surprise, "Of course you'll accept my things, Lord Roland. You haven't forgotten the bet you just made, have you?"

Roland frowned and said, "Of course I didn't forget. Didn't we just agree that I would help you weave seven magic carpets?"

Catherine stretched out a finger and shook it, then smiled and said, "No, no, no, Roland. It seems you just misunderstood what I said. These seven magic carpets are another agreement. And in this agreement to weave the magic carpets, you didn't specify any price. So, by secret agreement, I will select seven magic carpets from your collection for free."

At this moment, Catherine was smiling like a devil.

She continued, "As for our bet, it's 7 magic stones. Based on the current market price, you must pay me for all the magic carpets except the one I just selected, and you will also owe me..."

As she spoke, Catherine hooked her finger at the magic book not far away. The magic book floated in front of her. She looked at the account on it and smiled devilishly.

"You still owe me 6821 magic stones. Let's make it 6800."

Roland was stunned.

He pondered over the verbal agreement between the two of them, and then his expression became even uglier.

This stinky woman!
She actually fooled me like this!

After removing the seven best magic carpets from that pile, there were no high-quality ones left - the best ones were gone, and the overall value of the remaining ones was reduced by more than half!

Roland was immediately furious.

But Catherine seemed not to see it. She smiled and pushed the magic book, letting it float to Roland's side.

She crossed her legs and said happily, "Lord Roland, you can check the bill."

Roland suppressed his anger and said, "You can't calculate it this way. If these magic carpets were placed in the south, no, even in the harbor, they would cost more than this."

The devil laughed even more happily, and she said, "Lord Roland, my calculations are correct - you don't have enough cash at the gambling table, and according to the average price of pawn goods in major casinos in the harbor, these magic carpets are not enough to cover all the gambling money.

Therefore, you still owe me 6,800 magic stones. The average interest rate at major casinos is very high these days. I suggest you pay as soon as possible.

in addition"

Catherine smiled and said, "Also, Lord Roland, I have to remind you. If you want to make a bet with a devil, then a verbal agreement is enough to make the contract valid."

As she spoke, she slowly raised her head and looked at Roland with a proud, contemptuous look. "Playing with me? I'll play you to death!"
Roland nodded deeply. "You want to play, right? Don't regret it. If you lose, you'll have to pay the wormwood."

He smiled, sighed, and said, "Thank you for your guidance today. I have benefited a lot from it. Bring me the seven magic carpets, and I will help you weave them."
