I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 272 Madam! Of course spiders can’t speak

Inside the slave ship's hold, prisoners were queuing in an orderly fashion to receive food and water.

Recently, the crew members outside have been secretly getting more food and water. Not only that, these basic crew members will also find ways to get some sea beasts that are rich in magic essence and life essence.

If they didn't catch any sea monsters one day, the crew would bring their own food and go hungry themselves.

The prisoners' bodies had almost recovered thanks to adequate nutrition. All they had to do was open their sin shackles and drink a bottle of mana recovery potion before they could begin the battle.

Dagmar, the leader of the three-headed snake, probably never imagined that there was a second-level wizard on this slave ship. Even more so, he could not imagine that her mind control magic was so advanced. So many low-level crew members had fallen for her trick, yet he had not noticed it.

The forces of the Southern Territory really underestimated the wizards of the Eastern Territory. The average level of wizards in the Eastern Territory might be far lower than that of the Southern Territory, but their magical theories were far superior to those of the Southern Territory.

Not only is the Eastern Territory's magical theory far beyond the reach of the South, but its research on gods is also far beyond the reach of the South.

Because contact with 'heretical magic theory (real magic)' and research on gods are taboos in the south.

So in the eyes of the wizards in the East, the wizards in the South are not even wizards, they are all apprentices!
——The gods of the south are the real wizards.

If it comes to fighting, all the people on the ship combined are no match for Dagmar, because he can draw on the power of God.

But when it comes to magic theory, he really can't compare.

Not to mention competing in black magic with the Blood Wizard.

Even if the Withered Blood Wizard was bullied by the Black Abyss Wizards, he was still a legitimate Twilight Wizard. He would be ranked among the top five in the East.

Therefore, when it comes to magic, Dagmar, who relied on the gods to get to where he is today, is really no match for these blood-stained wizards who have reached where they are today step by step.

Interestingly, even the discipline of the prisoners managed by the Bloody Wizard is better than that of the three-headed snakes under Dagmar.

In fact, the discipline of this group of pirates was much laxer than imagined - there was almost no discipline at all!

The slave ship was in great chaos, and it was all thanks to Dagmar, the mid-second-level boss, and those elite three-headed snake wizards who were in charge.

So, once their magic is suppressed by the prisoners, it's still bullshit.

Let alone fighting, just the shackles of original sin are enough to render all the prisoners helpless.

If this were in a laboratory in the tower, most people present would need some time to fully understand the shackles of original sin of the three-headed snake.

After all, the prisoners present are all traitors and elites.

Many people have even done research before, and know what tools and tricks they can use to break free from the shackles.

But they had no tools, not even magic.

Of course, even if everyone is freed from the shackles of original sin, the next battle will be very difficult.

The three-headed snakes were not only extremely powerful at sea, but also outnumbered the prisoners four to one.

Apart from anything else, serious three-headed snake wizards can survive on this sea even without ships.

They were desperate and if they destroyed the ship, all the prisoners would die.

Belinda is currently discussing what to do next with her confidants. She is very unsure about what to do next and can be said to have placed all her bets on Roland.

Of course, she originally placed her bet on the saint Lawrence.

Now we can only put pressure on Twilight.

Belinda shook her head and said, "Vera, your methods are useless. You have never fought against real Southern wizards and don't understand them.

No matter how clever our methods are, they are just tricks to "God's Favored Ones" like Dagmar.

As for escaping, I'm absolutely sure we can do it, but we're at sea, so we can only fight them to the death.

We can't defeat them on our own. We need the help of Baron Black Abyss's team."

At this point, Belinda couldn't help but sigh. If the blood of these "holy blood wizards" hadn't withered, making them unable to use mystical methods, how could she have fallen to the point where she couldn't even remove the handcuffs?
Although they might not be able to defeat Dagmar, it would be okay for them to talk to him.

A confidant said, "We don't ask for anything else. As long as Baron Heiyuan brings some 'holy blood' so that we can use our true strength, our chances of victory will increase by at least 20%!"

Another confidant gnashed his teeth secretly, his tone filled with resentment: "Damn those Black Abyss Wizards! They teamed up with that evil god to steal our Holy Blood Principle. Now we have to beg them to use our own power!"

Belinda's eyes also revealed a bit of resentment, but then she became helpless.

These people are obviously crazy.

They thought they were originally 'Holy Blood Wizards'!
It was because Roland and Helaka stole the principle of holy blood that he became a 'dry blood wizard' - the holy blood withered and turned into dry blood.

But in reality, no one had ever taken away their "Holy Blood Principle." The so-called "Holy Blood Principle" refers to the "divine power" they cultivated on the "Path of Truth," or the mystical means.

But what they originally practiced was not the 'Path of Holy Blood'!
What they practiced was the Path of Dry Blood!

This Bloody Path is a unique path of truth developed by the Bloody Baron. Normally, this is a path of truth developed by the wizard himself, and even if the Bloody Baron dies, the truth still exists.

But the path to truth they researched had problems, and was secretly manipulated by the Blood-Dry Baron.

They researched the path to truth based on the 'Dry Blood Statue'. There's something fishy about this Dry Blood Statue, and everything they researched out has some issues.

They think they are walking on the path of truth, but in fact, this path of truth is mixed with some things from the path of faith.

Therefore, the Withered Blood Wizard is essentially the same as Dagmar, both are favored by the gods! They are not real wizards. However, the Withered Blood Wizard's magic power is his own, while Dagmar's everything comes from the gods.

The former still has its own power when there is no god, and its realm will not disappear.

Once the latter loses God, it loses everything.

However, although their realm was still there, many of their magical powers were no longer usable because every time they used their "holy blood", the Blood Baron had to move a finger.

Now that the Bloody Baron was dead and Helaka ignored them, many of their tactics were no longer effective.

It was very simple to be the same as before - to study the 'Holy Blood Heracles Statue', walk your own path of truth again, and correct the mistakes.

As Roland said, the blood-stained wizards were very resentful of him.
Among them, Miss Belinda had a very deep hatred for Roland, and could be said to be the one who hated him the most.

However, the moment she chose to become Belinda, she had already decided to betray her past and become a traitor to her family.

The current situation forced her to become the one hiding under someone else's roof, so she could only listen to what the Heiyuans said.

This traitor was obviously different from the 'Wendisha' beside Roland, and his bottom line was very flexible.

When I split my soul and left this body that has nothing to do with God, I anticipated the outcome today.

However, she originally thought that the winner would be the Bloody Baron, not that boy and the god behind him.

She lost, and she was convinced that she had lost.

Therefore, as long as the benefits are great enough, she will even sell her ass to her enemy!
No, there are no enemies. I don’t have any enemies!

As long as I can find the true path to truth, I will have finally achieved what I wanted after going around in circles!

So, after learning about the 'Six Earls of Holy Blood', she chose to join.

This is not because his family is still alive, so there is hope, but because as long as his fellow clansmen can live well in the Black Abyss, then he can live well too.

There's even a chance to get the 'Path of Holy Blood'!
But she wanted to confirm it.

Who knows if there are any members of my family on the other side of the Black Abyss?

There was a sudden commotion in the cabin. Belinda looked up and frowned, asking, "What's that noise over there?"

The confidants stood up, stretched their heads to look over there, and found that the movement was coming from Baron Heiyuan's puppet.

After seeing the commotion coming from over there again, the confidants couldn't help but reveal strange expressions.

Several people said:

——"Madam, these past few days, people have been saying that there is a spider in Sir Lawrence's stomach."

——"Well, and the music is making me a little dizzy."

"I think he's been cooped up in this small space for too long and started to go crazy. You know, everyone on this ship, whether they're members of the Twilight Council or not, has some knowledge of the magic of the Twilight Council and the Abyss School."

The confidant's words were euphemistic. To be frank, everyone on this ship was a little crazy.

Belinda was originally lying in a hammock, and her confidants were either standing behind her to massage her, or sitting under the hammock to massage her legs, or sitting nearby to sew clothes with fish bones and make simple armor with sea animal skins.

He looks very happy being with the hostess.

At this moment, Belinda heard her men say this and she couldn't help but sit up from the hammock and looked over there with a strange expression.

There were quite a few prisoners over there, all making a lot of noise and behaving strangely.

Belinda's expression became increasingly strange.

In fact, this kind of thing has been happening for a long time, but it seems to be a little serious today.

Suddenly, Belinda noticed Straw Roland and found that he didn't seem to be abnormal. He was just covering his ears.

But if you look closely, you can see that there is something stuck in his ears. His face is pale, and he seems to be enduring some kind of painful noise.

Apparently, the sound of the concert that Roland and his friends had put on in the Snake Ring had reached the cabin.

And it hasn’t been circulating for just one or two days.

Little Roland was the first to be affected and was extremely annoyed.

Belinda and the others were quite far away, and they had taken potions before, so it wasn't a big problem.

In fact, due to the isolation of the snake ring, the sound coming out was not obvious.

Therefore, the prisoners in the cabin had not encountered any major problems. They just felt a little irritable, dizzy, insomnia and nightmares.

Today, these people began to have some hallucinations, always feeling that there were many spiders in the cabin.

Belinda's expression grew serious. She suspected that Roland and the others might be up to something that might affect their teammates.

She stood up and asked her subordinates to gather all the prisoners together to discuss the matter.

Her purpose was not to discuss anything with these people, but to distract everyone's attention.

Belinda suspected that the spider was an anchor in the lower world. If she thought about the spider, her consciousness would dive into the deep sea of ​​the lower world, and something bad would happen.

Belinda was convinced that the Eastlands would never allow these traitors to remain. Unlike them, they were complete witches and traitors, scum with no moral compass. They held important secrets and must not leave this ship alive.

But these people will still be needed for subsequent battles.

There are only a few people to begin with. If they go crazy during the war, or even go crazy now, then what's the point of fighting!
In order to anchor these people's SAN, Belinda threw out Twilight Princess.

She fooled these people just like Roland had fooled her.

She told these people that after the destruction of the Blood Castle, some Holy Blood Wizards had pledged allegiance to Princess Twilight in order to survive.

He was actually the one sent by Princess Twilight.

Her purpose in coming here was not to save these people, but to kill them.

Hearing this, the prisoners were horrified.

Some people started cursing on the spot—some of them knew they were guilty of unforgivable sins, while others were simply fools who joined in the swearing.

Suddenly, the more than 200 people in the slave cabin were vaguely divided into three groups.

The blood-stained wizards were one group, those who felt they were doomed were another group, and those who wavered and fantasized that they could rebel and return to Twilight were another group.

Anyway, no one thought about that damn spider anymore.

Someone in the chaotic crowd sneered, "Belinda, most of the traitors have been taken away by that bastard Saladin. Even you have been shackled with the shackles of original sin and become slaves. Don't tell me this is all part of your plan."

Belinda said, "You're right, something unexpected did happen and the mission can no longer be completed.

But as I said before, the shackles of original sin cannot bind us.

Before the three-headed snakes find out, we can still forcibly transform into holy blood and perish together with most of you. This is exactly what the Twilight Council wants to see most.

But we don't want to die, and Princess Twilight doesn't want her confidants to be cannon fodder in vain.

I can make a decision and promise that as long as we can successfully escape, I will let some of you survive and give you the opportunity to be loyal to Princess Twilight.

But some of you must die."

As she spoke, Belinda looked coldly at the group of people who had just shouted the most happily.

She smiled and said, "Yes, you are on the blacklist. If the people on this ship want to survive, they have to pay you guys off."

Blacklist. Where does the blacklist come from?

Belinda herself didn't know who should die and who shouldn't.

But some people identified themselves with it.

Some people also quietly began to move away from the area.

The people in that area saw the others starting to move away, and their expressions suddenly turned grim. One of them, who identified himself as the person sitting there, shouted, "You idiots! Do you think they're only going to use us as a pretext? You know exactly what you've done with the Southerners! If you help her, you'll all die!"

Belinda laughed and said, "Yes, you know what stupid things you have done. But I don't know. Everyone is pretending, and I don't know who is who.
All I know is that among these two hundred people, some are my people, who followed my sister Vera to escape - these people are not spies, they simply boarded the ship because they offended their rabbi or someone in the parliament.

I also know that some people's mistakes were not serious, and they helped me to turn the tide in this incident, so they had the opportunity to meet the princess and fight for a bright future for themselves."

As Belinda spoke, the number of people in that area had decreased. By the time she finished speaking, there were only about twenty people left.

Among these twenty or so people, there were still about ten who were hesitant and wanted to leave, but the people around them had surrounded them all and were looking at them with fierce eyes.

The leader of the twenty or so people laughed angrily and said, "Fools, idiots! Even those blood-stained wizards don't know whether the Twilight Council will eventually let them go, and you actually stand with them. You won't survive this. If only ten of you can be spared by the Twilight Council!"

Before he finished speaking, someone next to him attacked, but not the people on Belinda's side, but him!
All of a sudden, these twenty or so people started fighting in a mess!
Just like Belinda said, they have no bottom line at all!

In order to survive and for profit, they will do anything.

This wasn't the first time they had betrayed each other.

Indeed, as the prisoner said before, this betrayal was extremely stupid.

But when they first defected to the South and betrayed the East for the sake of profit, they made a very stupid decision.

So, these traitors are no longer doing anything stupid.

There were many stupid and bad people on this ship, but those who had a chance of being saved were taken away by Saladin.

What is very ironic is that these twenty or so people have been fighting with themselves the whole time, and the other onlookers have not taken any action, just watching coldly.

These twenty or so men, clearly clad in the Shackles of Original Sin, were still able to unleash two deadly moves. Though their power was greatly diminished, they lacked even a vestment, and were unable to use their magic to resist the curse. Once struck by the curse, their entire bodies gradually melted, and they rolled on the ground, screaming in agony.

After a short while, only seven or eight were left out of the twenty or so.

These people were covered in wounds, some with limbs broken by the curse. Like wounded beasts, they held their companions' heads and looked at Belinda silently.

They are gambling!

Belinda waved her hand, and the onlookers raised their hands coldly. Under the numerous spells, the remaining seven or eight people were torn into pieces, their bodies exploded into balls of blood mist, leaving only their heads.

The prisoners counted the heads, and someone asked, "Belinda, are these twenty or so enough?"

Belinda sneered, "Of course it's not enough. Are all of you wizards fleeing for your lives? I can only save thirty people at most. How many of the rest of you can survive depends on your performance and the princess's wishes."

After hearing this, some people breathed a sigh of relief. These people had been very close to the Blood-Dried Wizards recently and believed that they must be among the thirty people.

The rest of the people had gloomy expressions on their faces, but they all seemed determined to fight for it.

After all, the moment they stepped onto the ship, they had no choice.

Or go to that faun's farm, spill all your secrets, and die.

Or try to get leniency with Belinda.

Belinda's sister, Vera, smiled and said, "Don't worry. The ship has already sailed this far. After we seize the ship, there will be no Naga escort, and there are only so many replacements, so it will eventually head south. If any of you brothers and sisters want to leave and the person in charge is not here, how can we, the people working under you, force you to stay?"

Can you honestly tell me how many people were originally on the boat and how many left?"

Many people's eyes lit up and they expressed their attitudes one after another.

——Just these words from the Blood-Dried Wizards! We brothers will definitely fight to the death next time!
This pair of sisters, one playing the bad guy and the other the good guy, managed to bring together this group of scattered people.

But Belinda's expression was very serious.

Under her rule, there had been too many traitors in the Kuxue family.

She knew these traitors too well and knew that they would definitely not fight for their lives next time!
They stood in line just to survive, how could they possibly risk their lives?
Besides, the dead can be used as heads to report! Whoever rushes forward desperately will be the sand dollar!
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to capture the ship.

Therefore, when we get serious next time, we have to use some means to force this group of people to work hard.

That's right, for Belinda, disunity is no big deal.

The Kuxue Family has always been a disunited force, but hasn't it been firmly held in her hands?

Many people know that they will become prisoners sooner or later, but don’t they still fight to be loyal?

These people will obey.

Rubbing her forehead, Belinda felt her headache was much better. She asked her men to give the prisoners tasks to do, not letting them have any free time.

She returned to the hammock, lying there gracefully, observing the crowd below and finding that they were in much better condition than before.

In the end, I still need to vent, otherwise I will be driven crazy by that sound.

What the hell is that psycho doing?
How long will he take?
In a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it back anymore!

At this moment, Belinda suddenly discovered that there were 9 more people in the corner on Roland's side!

Little Roland walked over with those people, smiling.

That tall, handsome, and hateful-looking guy is naturally Baron Black Abyss.

The other eight women are the team behind Baron Heiyuan.

But the leader was not Baron Black Abyss, but a second-level witch.

Seeing the witch's face, many blood-stained wizards were horrified and actually knelt on one knee, crying bitterly with excitement - Baron Black Abyss did not lie!
We can survive, we can survive!

But Belinda's pupils suddenly shrank, and a very strange expression appeared on her face.

Her sister Vera was also stunned for a long time.

Vera rubbed her eyes, looked at the leading witch, then at her sister Belinda. A very strange expression appeared on her face.

Compared to other continents, the wizards in the East have preserved the most complete heritage.

Rumor has it that many great schools of thought have recorded secret techniques on how to deal with or even contain gods!

Therefore, in the eyes of southerners, wizards from the East are very difficult to deal with, and among these difficult wizards, the wizards from the Twilight Council in the East are the most difficult.

Some legends even circulate the legend of the immortality of the Council wizards.

In a widely circulated story in the South, an unknown wizard who fled to the South split his soul into seven parts and left behind seven bodies.

Each soul can resurrect him once, and each body even walks a different path of truth!

The Church and the White Wizards have been hunting him down, but he has managed to escape from his enemies several times.

Rumor has it that he even deceived God.

It was not until the Southern Inquisition accidentally tried an unknown black wizard that they discovered from his soul that he was actually that person, and he had not died all along!

This unlucky guy eventually died. Since his last body was just a wizard apprentice, he died at the hands of the Inquisition's minions.

However, this incident caused a major earthquake in the south, which made people truly understand how difficult the wizards on the mysterious side are.

Some believers even began to believe the rumors that wizards defeated the gods in ancient times.

Countess Wendysha of the Withered Blood Castle, though only a second-tier powerhouse, far inferior to the elders, was a household name in the Eastern Territory, even more famous than many of the elders!
As everyone knows, her whereabouts have been unknown since the incident at Withered Blood Castle.

Some people said that in the 'Church of the Holy Blood' that day, the withered blood wizards tried to summon their own 'God of Holy Blood. Heraka' to trade with him, but they were eventually devoured by the god.

Some people believe that Countess Wendishah actually escaped.

Some people also believe that she would have had some backup plans before making a deal with God.

Regardless, Countess Wendishah was now standing before him. Judging from her younger appearance, this was definitely a new body!

The withered blood wizards could not possibly have mistaken their mistress. The moment they knelt on the ground, all the prisoners knelt on the ground in excitement and burst into tears.

Some people even shouted excited words like 'May His Majesty the Thousand-Eyed Saint King be forever' - he even spared the life of a traitor like Wendy Sha, so surely the rest of us can be pardoned as well!

There is help, there is real help now!

Everyone no longer had any worries, and their confidence in defeating the three-headed snake, which was several times larger than their own, increased greatly.

Now I finally have a second-level wizard on my side!

And he's a Grand Senator of the Twilight Parliament!

It is so inspiring to have such a backbone.

Everyone was very excited, especially the Blood-Dried Wizards.

No one can understand the feelings of the Blood-Dried Wizards - as long as we follow the mistress, we fugitives can go home!

The prisoners were very excited, especially the blood-stained wizards, who were crying so hard that they were about to faint.

Belinda and her sister Vera also looked excited.

But their smiles seemed a little stiff.

As Miss Wendysha and Roland and the others approached, Belinda and her sister exchanged several furtive glances, their eyes filled with confusion.

At this moment, Miss Wendysha, the leader of the group, suddenly froze in place. She stared at the blood-stained witch across from her, her body swaying slightly, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

Afterwards, she no longer cared about her image and rushed over to hug her good sister, crying with joy.

It seemed that he was too excited and couldn't even speak clearly.

The Blood Witch hugged her sister Wendysha and forced a stiff smile towards the Baron of Black Abyss behind her.

She said, "Thank you, His Majesty the Thousand-Eyed Saint King, for your grace, thank you, Princess Catherine, for your kindness, and thank you, His Excellency, the Terrible Baron (Roland's true title, from Straw Town), for your help. We sisters are finally reunited."

Roland's smile was even stiffer than that of the blood-stained witch.

Because Miss Wendisa is holding Vera!

Roland looked at Belinda not far away, and then looked at the strange witch (Vera) held by Miss Wendysha. The confusion on his face was no less than that of Belinda!

Just now when they were inside the snake ring, Roland had talked to 'Wendisha'.

Wendysa believed the leader must be her sister, Vera, because they had a plan. If the Bloody Baron's plan failed, Vera would immediately flee south with something.

As for what it was, Wendy Sha remembered that it should be a very, very important thing.

But she didn't have this memory. Or rather, when she did this, in order to prevent the Bloody Baron from knowing about it, she specifically used the 'Water of the Styx' to erase this memory.

Vera is a late-stage first-level blood wizard. If Wendysha left her some treasures, she might have been promoted recently.

In addition, the number of these blood-stained wizards was so large that it was obvious that they were intentionally gathered together on the road by someone.

Therefore, Roland concluded that the true identity of Belinda, the leader of this group of blood-stained wizards, was most likely "Vera".

But she is not Vera.

So, who is Belinda?
Seeing Roland looking at her in confusion, Belinda turned her head away and said nothing.

Roland rubbed his forehead. He was too lazy to care about these things now.

In the Kuxue family, even the damn 'Wendisha' has joined. Although she is a fake, she hates herself more than the real one!

So, it didn't matter to Belinda anymore.

The most urgent and important thing is to escape from here.

Before we take action, there are a few things I need to explain to everyone. After all, it will definitely look a bit strange when the choir sings here and then sings here.

Moreover, there may be some unusual movements outside, and all these things require the cooperation of the prisoners.

Therefore, he had to explain many things to everyone in detail.

Thinking of this, Roland immediately threw the magic mirror to little Roland and asked him to remove the shackles for everyone.

Then, Roland turned around and looked at everyone.

Roland used his own face, which was now very well-known in the East.

When he attended the dinner at the Blood Castle before, major newspapers published his magic photos on various headlines.

Later he did a live broadcast, so most of the prisoners knew him.

After feeling the gaze of Baron Heiyuan, the noisy cabin gradually quieted down.

Suddenly, you could hear a pin drop in the entire cabin.

Everyone knew that the next words from the Black Abyss Baron would determine the success or failure of the entire escape. Not a single word could be missed.

Seeing everyone looking at him solemnly, Roland nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said to everyone, "Squeak, creak, creak, creak, creak."

Everyone: "?"
