I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 260 Is this really not a honey trap?

The lady who came in was Mary. Roland's heart skipped a beat when he saw her.

This Miss Mary was actually the terrifying second-level Naga sea witch that Roland had seen outside the window before.

Just now when chatting with Billy, Roland made a guess - if Billy and Mary were in the same group, they would definitely send someone to test him.

Billy had proposed the mermaid service, probably to test Roland, so Roland agreed immediately.

Now, Mary came in person
Roland knew that no matter how he disguised himself, he had no absolute certainty of surviving this disaster. He could only rely on luck.

Even if Mary originally intended to modify her own memory, she would immediately change her mind once her possessions were exposed.

He will definitely die!

Roland asked in surprise, "Ms. Mary, are you a mermaid?"

From Miss Mary's perspective, Roland was stunned for two seconds after she entered the door, and then asked this question.

Mary smiled and said, "What else?"

As she spoke, Miss Mary narrowed her eyes: "So, Sir Lance, do you think I am a Naga pirate from the Three-Headed Snake?"

Roland's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted in his mind: "No, no, how could she say that directly? It's bad, it's bad! Billy may not be a spy for Triskel, at least Mary was not arranged by him!"

'The mermaid he arranged hasn't arrived yet!'

"I made a mistake. The first thing I said when I came up exposed it!"

'She knows I know who she is!'

How could Roland know if Billy was a spy? He was so familiar and intimate with Mary just now!

Moreover, Billy had just said that he would send a mermaid, and Mary came over to test him. After thinking about it, Roland felt that the two must be in cahoots!
He thought Billy asked Mary to come here as a mermaid to test him!
So, he pretended to be surprised, saying, "Ah, aren't you a singer? I didn't expect you to be a mermaid." He said, "Ms. Mary, you, you are a mermaid."

If Mary and Billy were in cahoots and knew that Billy was going to arrange a mermaid service for Roland, then what Roland had just said was equivalent to 'I didn't recognize you. I always thought you were a singer. Besides, you don't look like that mermaid, so I was surprised to see you coming.'

But Mary and Billy are not in the same group!

She didn't know about the mermaid service!

So Roland's words became "Ah, you really are the mermaid in the sea before"!

Therefore, Roland's original words were meant to disguise himself, but Mary misunderstood them—and the key point is that she did not misunderstand them!
She thought Roland had confessed.

Roland's mind raced, wanting to say something, when he suddenly realized the mirror in the room was gone.

Roland couldn't help but stand there in a daze - he remembered that he had looked in the mirror when he entered the room.

Suddenly Roland understood everything.

Before Roland could say anything else, he was suddenly overwhelmed by Mary. His last thought was: 'How could I not have the ability to resist at all? Oh, yes, that's right.'

Mary knocked Roland down without saying a word and came to his side.

She searched Roland's body and soon found a good quality storage bag - inside it were 100 magic stones, plus some potions. The various potions together cost more than 300 magic stones.

Mary frowned, stripped Roland naked, and searched him carefully. Sure enough, she found a small storage bag made to look like a button on his body.

After searching for a while, he found a high-grade item, a medium-grade item, two low-grade items, and 300 magic stones.

Indeed, this is all the junk Roland has on his body.

As a formal wizard, it is reasonable for him to have only more than 400 magic stones on him. After all, this businessman used most of his funds to purchase goods.

As for the strange things on his body, they are really rubbish.

But Mary showed a look of surprise: "The wizards in the Eastern Territory are really rich! A wizard who has just entered the middle stage of the first level has such good stuff!"

Mary was delighted to see the rare and precious item, looking like a poor pirate who had never seen the world.

No wonder she was so surprised.

One reason is that the alchemy level of the southerners is far inferior to that of the eastern regions, and wizards are suppressed more severely by the gods. Therefore, rare items are not as prevalent as they are in the eastern regions.

At least it’s not the case that any regular wizard can find four rare items.

But in the Eastern Territory, which official wizard doesn't have a top-grade rare item in his hand? It's impossible. How could he survive to this day if he can't even get a top-grade rare item?

Therefore, in the Eastern Territory, the items on Roland's body are considered standard equipment for formal wizards and ordinary wizards who are not from the Black Abyss, White Chess, or Twilight schools.

But in the south, ordinary wizards in the East are considered elite.

Of course, the main reason was that Miss Mary herself was a Naga Siren—in Roland's words, this demon cultivator was not as wealthy as a human cultivator. She relied purely on her physical strength and talent to compete with humans.

Sirens were far less wealthy than wizards, and Naga Sirens lived a life like slaves. So, each one was even poorer than the other, and they were all quite pitiful. They were basically the same as slaves.

Many elite Naga Sirens who have reached the official wizard level may not even have rare items in their hands!

As for the property of Mary, the second-level mermaid leader, or the things in the hands of this second-level slave, they are not as much as those in the hands of Roland's third-level good spirit servant!

After hesitating for a while, Mary's eyes showed a bit of greed. She made up her mind and stole all these things.

Afterwards, she took out a crystal ball and used a spell to search Roland's memory.

Mary was surprised to find that her memory of Roland before he boarded the ship was completely fuzzy. It seemed that someone had done something to this boy before. Perhaps it was his master who did it.

It seems to be a kind of 'memory lock' or 'soul lock' similar to a thought stamp.

With this lock in place, even if we kill this guy and search his soul, it will be difficult to search his entire memory.

This master's methods were very sophisticated, and he might be the legendary Twilight Wizard or Black Abyss Wizard. He was also the kind of person who specialized in the study of necromancy.

Although that person's level of magic was not as good as his master in the three-headed snake, the methods of Twilight and the Black Abyss wizards were a bit tricky for him.

She couldn't unlock these memory locks for a while.

However, although Mary was curious about this guy's past, this was not her purpose for coming here.

The boy's memory of being on board the ship was complete—Mary discovered that he had not yet told Billy about the Naga incident. He had not contacted anyone since returning to his room.

To be exact, the boy took a bath in his room and slept in the tub for twenty minutes before being woken up by the alarm clock.

There was nothing wrong with the memory. So Mary modified Roland's memory, making him forget about the mermaid.

At the same time, in order to avoid exposing the fact that she had stolen his things, she distorted the boy's cognition.

Mary vaguely felt that something was wrong.

She pulled a straw from Roland's head with some doubt.

At this moment, a ring on Mary's hand lit up. She hurriedly packed Roland's things and put him on the bed. Then she woke him up slightly, opened the window in a hurry, and dived into the sea.

After entering the sea, this beautiful lady's body slowly transformed into a different appearance, and her aura became much stronger! It was far beyond the reach of a normal second-stage wizard.

She did not leave immediately, but instead held her breath and hid outside the window.

Not long after, there was a sudden knock on the door. "Knock, knock, knock," Billy's voice came from outside: "Lance, are you in the room?"

Roland rubbed his forehead and slowly stood up. He looked around with some confusion, then responded to Billy.

After opening the door, the two men started chatting. The two men had similar interests and were not talking about serious matters.

Mary spat secretly outside the window. She wanted to eavesdrop for a while longer, but Billy came to the window. Mary didn't dare to stay any longer and left quietly.

After a while, Billy's eyes moved slightly in front of the window, but he showed a bit of hesitation - his intuition told him that the person had left, but with his realm, he could not sense the lurking Naga, so he was not sure whether she was really gone.

He continued to pretend to chat with Roland until someone knocked on the door.

dong dong dong.
Billy's voice came from outside: "Let's go, Lance, don't you like mermaids? I'll take you to see the sea prison on the ship."

Roland, who was in the house, couldn't help but show a very strange look when he heard that there was another Billy outside the door.

He looked at Billy in front of him, then looked at the door, and suddenly realized something - the two people's voices were completely different!
But I always mistook the person in front of me for Billy and others. The height and appearance of the person in front of me were wrong!
Billy made a shushing gesture. He then pulled out a magic mirror and silently muttered a few words to it. Then he responded, "Right away, I'll get dressed."

Roland suddenly understood everything. He looked towards the spot in the room where the mirror should have been—that was the secret signal he had left for himself!
After he finished chatting with Billy in the restaurant, he was not sure which group Billy was on, so he didn't dare to say more to him.

He was worried that Billy would send a mermaid or even Mary to test him, so he became a ghost.

He quietly escaped while taking a bath, leaving a little Roland in the big bathtub. Then he used a hypnotic spell to make the little Roland fall asleep.

Afterwards, he left some garbage for Roland, and then made a 'mind maze lock' for Roland, locking his key memories. Then he used the magic mirror to put Billy's name on it, and asked Roland to put the name of the person he originally pretended to be (a Muggle), and then left the room in stealth.

Little Roland had no idea about these things, he thought he was himself!

At this time, a mental force easily penetrated the restrictions in the cabin and glanced at the situation in the room.

——"Who's in the room?!"

In a flash, a figure ignored the ban and appeared directly in the room.

It was Billy. His face was filled with shock and anger, and he seemed ready to kill Roland. But after he took in the situation inside the house, he showed a very strange expression.

There were actually two identical Rolands in the room. Subconsciously, he thought something was wrong with little Roland and that it was someone disguised as Roland.

But after coming in and taking a closer look, it was Roland himself.

Billy hadn't noticed the difference in Straw Roland just now. It seemed that although he and Mentor Usak were at the same realm, there was a big gap in their strength.

On the other hand, Mary had a vague feeling that something was amiss as she examined Straw Roland. The Sirens' magical civilization was far inferior to that of wizards, but their own strength far surpassed that of humans of the same level. Furthermore, she was accustomed to sensing others through sound, so she had a faint sense of something was amiss.

Roland bowed slightly to Billy and said, "Billy, as you can see, I am actually a wizard, and this is my puppet. I'm very sorry for hiding this from you."

Billy had also come to his senses by now. After he discovered that there were two Rolands in the house, he could tell which was the real Roland and which was the little Roland.

He shook his head and said with some emotion, "I've heard that the methods of the Black Abyss wizards are extraordinary. Today I have broadened my horizons."

There are quite a few wizard schools that are so proficient in mystical magic, but the only ones who can reach this level and allow a second-level wizard like himself to be teased by a small first-level mid-stage wizard are Twilight and Black Abyss.

As for what Billy just said, 'I've heard that the Black Abyss wizards have extraordinary skills', logically speaking he shouldn't know which school Roland belongs to.

So maybe he was deliberately playing tricks on Roland.

Roland remained noncommittal about Billy's words. He chose to ignore them and went straight to the point: "Sir Billy, I'm afraid this ship has been targeted by the three-headed snake. I saw the man's true identity during the day. Someone just came and tried to tamper with my memory."

Billy nodded deeply. His next words were full of meaning: "Sir Lance, you are indeed very interesting. I have almost fallen in love with you, little bastard. So, have you discovered Mary's identity?"

Roland was horrified.

He thought to himself, "How is this possible? Billy can't be in cahoots with Mary. What's wrong?! This logic is wrong!"

There is nothing wrong with Roland's logic.

First of all, Billy is the second-in-command of Black Sails and a vested interest in the Black Sails interest group - there is no reason for him to betray his team.

Secondly, Black Sails was a team that the Twilight Council had generously supported for thirty years in order to cross the ocean. And Billy was an important disciple of Baron Seaburg, serving the Thousand-Eyed King.

Everyone is tied together tightly. After he betrayed Black Sail, Baron Sea Castle and the King of Thousand Eyes and defected to Triceratops, Triceratops could neither give him more benefits nor would he have a good ending on Triceratops' side after being a traitor.

Finally, in the incident where Mary just entered the house, Billy has been completely cleared of suspicion.

Based on the above situation, Roland came straight to the point.

As a result, Billy said something like this.

"We finally convinced those three-headed snakes they were on the verge of success, but then those idiots made a mistake like this. Didn't she notice the problem? Did you fucking alert them?"

Roland was stunned for a moment and said, "She thought she had successfully tampered with my memory. I just pretended to be you and acted out another scene. She left without worry."

Billy breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Roland on the shoulder and said in a serious tone, "Sorry, Lance, I got a little excited just now. Don't tell anyone about this. We've set the bait, and we're just waiting for them to fall into our trap. Don't get involved in this matter. We have our own arrangements."

Roland nodded, finally understanding what Billy meant.

It turns out that what Billy said before meant 'This is all in our plan, don't alert the enemy, otherwise it will all be over!'
It sounds like Billy is planning a counter-espionage plot.
But Roland felt vaguely that something was strange.

His intuition told him that there was something strange about Billy, or rather, Billy's initial reaction was a little strange.

But according to the 123 logical inferences he had made before, Billy was definitely the Thousand-Eyed King's man and could not be a spy.

Roland shook his head secretly, thinking that he was probably too sensitive.

Billy comforted Roland and told him that no matter how many spies sneaked into the ship, it would be useless because they could not determine the true coordinates. Therefore, the coordinates sent out would be bait coordinates.

Therefore, the sharpshooter of the three-headed snake must shoot first, must miss, and must be exposed first.

The true coordinates can only be obtained by casting a secret spell on the star map inside the ship. This spell will change after a period of time, and only Billy and the captain know the pattern of the change.

So even when the navigator is navigating, he has to be accompanied by the captain or Billy, otherwise the navigator will get false coordinates.

Of course, no one knew about this, only the captain, Billy and the navigator knew the truth.

"Wait a minute!" Roland interrupted, "Billy, why are you telling me such a secret? I don't want to know!"

Billy patted Roland and said with a smile, "Even if I were a spy, you wouldn't be a spy."

Roland looked at Billy with a strange look.

However, Billy's words were indeed correct. Everything Baron Seaburg had was controlled by the Thousand-Eyed King, so Billy and Roland could both be considered die-hard Twilight fans.

Billy continued, "Just be a good passenger. You are sent by Baron Haibao. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will make sure you arrive safely in the south."

Billy finally said, "Let's go, Mary knows what I want to take you to do. I came here to take you to find the mermaid.
Don’t you want to see? Those mermaids that are rumored in the secular world, what kind of mermaids are they? The mermaids under my command are the real mermaids.”

Billy is such a big hearted guy. He actually took Roland to see the mermaid.

On the way, he also told Roland a story.

The content of this story is about how Billy fed his good son-in-law to the mermaid. Well, he also had a son-in-law.
