I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 29 Prophet

Roland looked at Anna beside him and thought to himself, "The team must have gone deeper into the ruins, and the road has become narrower, so the instructor put Anna in his wallet."
Anna's appearance woke Roland from all sleepiness. Not daring to wake the tigress, he stood up from his bunk and went to the table to eat.

Roland was starving; he had only eaten some dry food in the carriage yesterday. This was his first meal today.

The eight potions on the table were gone, and the noise outside the wallet increased. The team seemed to be resting somewhere in the ruins.

After finishing his meal, Roland took a bucket outside to drain water and relieve himself, and listened to the sounds in the sky. He found that the team had not encountered anything noteworthy, so he sat on the bed and began to read the Alayeh Notebook.

Roland

[Realm: Low-level Wizard Apprentice (56/1000)]

[Abilities: Advanced Valeria Swordsmanship (5/1000), Apprentice-level Potions Elementary (16/1000)]

【戏法：心灵感应III（6/1000）、荧光术II（89/100）、电弧II（26/1000）】

[Magic: Modified. Chain Lightning II (26/1000), Mind Blast (2/100)]

[Seal (Passive): Fire of Dawn (1/100)]

[Forbidden Technique: Forbidden. Elementary Transfiguration (1/100)]

Roland thought to himself, "With so many zeros, it's hard to understand. It would be more intuitive if it were displayed as a percentage."

The magic book seemed to sense Roland's thoughts and displayed the progress as a percentage.

'It's a great book indeed!'

Roland was secretly surprised and started to check his Potions.

After using the last half of the materials to make medicine yesterday (successfully once, making 8 small bottles), the apprentice-level potion-making. Basic proficiency only increased by 8 points.

It seems that as the level of ability increases, the upper limit of proficiency and the standard for improving proficiency become higher.

Roland thought to himself, "Two bottles of Femme Fatale should be enough for me. I wonder when the team will arrive at their destination, so I'll take this opportunity to improve my magic."
After his mentor asked Roland to refine a hundred bottles of potion, Roland developed a very deep sense of crisis.

His intuition told him that this sense of crisis didn't seem to come from his mentor, but from this relic.

Roland thought to himself, "The monsters in the ruins all come from the abyss. If there's any magic that's particularly effective against them, it's only Dawnfire. If there's any trick that can save my life, it's only Mind Blast."
The mentor had not rested yet, and Roland did not plan to practice the Fire of Dawn. He found "A Brief Discussion on Mental Magic" and studied it.

Roland disassembled the magic of "Mind Blast" and continuously reconstructed its model in the spiritual world.

Strictly speaking, this process is a continuous release of a "weak version of mental shock" to oneself.

Therefore, as he continued to dismantle and reconstruct mental magic, Roland's mental and spiritual defense powers would be enhanced.

Although these attributes did not appear in the book for the time being, Roland could feel that his mind had been tempered.

After a few hours, Roland's spirit fell into exhaustion, and his Mind Blast only increased to 12 points.

"I can't practice anymore. I've reached my limit."

Roland still used the magic of mind blast, thinking it was too simple.

Normally, it was easiest to advance from the entry-level 1 to the 2nd level. However, the magic of Mind Blast came from the lower world and was too special.

Every time Roland disassembled and reconstructed the model (and used it on himself), he consumed a significant amount of mental energy. Therefore, he couldn't practice Mind Blast too many times a day. Consequently, this magic couldn't be advanced to the next level for at least ten days or half a month.

Roland listened to the noise outside and found that his mentor seemed to have fallen asleep.

He couldn't help but look at the 'Fire of Dawn' again.

He thought to himself, "To practice Dawn Fire, it's best to have a target. Use a level 1 arc and train with the power of Dawn Fire."

With a sizzling sound, a small arc of electricity flashed in Roland's hand and flew towards a small mosquito dancing above Anna's head.

At this time, if you look closely at the phone released by Roland, you will find that this arc is not the normal color, but a light golden color.

When the arc struck the mosquito, it suddenly turned into a spark. The spark flashed and disappeared. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice the color of the flame, which was slightly different from a normal flame.

After trying several times, Roland released a completely different arc of electricity.

The arc was light blue when it was released, but after hitting the target, it suddenly turned light gold.

If the mosquito being struck were an enemy, it would likely mistake the arc for an ordinary spell when it was first released, and thus be too lazy to dodge. However, the moment the magic struck the enemy, the Dawn Fire was attached to it—by the time the enemy realized it had already been ignited by the Dawn Fire. After practicing for a while, Roland flipped through the Ayelai Notebook and discovered that practicing with the arc first, then the Dawn Fire, was yielding greater results.

He glanced at the clock and calculated the time: "I have half the night to practice before the instructor wakes up."
Roland seized the opportunity and practiced Arc + Dawn Fire.

After practicing for dozens of times, Roland's magic power was exhausted. He took a 'Mermaid Fruit' and entered a state of meditation.

When he finished his meditation, Roland continued practicing.

At this time, there were almost no mosquitoes around.

When Roland killed the last very arrogant mosquito (which could be clearly seen flying), he felt a sense of enlightenment about the Fire of Dawn.

Roland flipped through the Alayeh Codex

[Mark (Passive): Dawn Fire II (0/1000)]

【Marking instructions: (omitted)】

[Effect: +2 units of Holy Damage (True Damage)]

Looking at the 2 points of true damage, Roland inexplicably felt that his sense of crisis suddenly decreased a lot.

But there was still an inexplicable palpitation lingering in Roland's heart.

"A wizard's intuition is very sharp." Roland thought to himself, "I always feel that I will face that extraordinary thing. There are so many powerful people in the team. I am just a small apprentice. It shouldn't be my turn to fight. But why do I feel palpitations?"
Roland's intuition told him that a fierce battle was waiting for him.

He didn't know what he was about to face, but after relying on others, he still had to rely on himself. The more strength he had, the more chance he had of surviving.

Roland checked the time and figured the people outside would soon wake up, so he stopped practicing Dawn Fire.

"Four days have passed since we entered the fern forest."

The team spent a day in the fern forest, and Roland spent two days brewing the potion after entering the wallet.

Now, after another day of sleep and practice, four days have passed since entering the fern forest. The time spent walking in the ruins is three days.

No matter how big the ruins are, we should have entered the core area by now.

Roland listened carefully to the noises outside and was surprised to find that the mentor, Baron, Nar, Anna, Wallace, the two freshmen, and Leonard were all there, and there was no loss of team members.

The three days seemed to go by very smoothly. The team didn't even encounter any monsters. This was very strange. It was as if there was a group of invisible people helping the team to eliminate all the monsters.

Roland remembered that Ayelai's diary could record some things related to him. He decided to check it to find out what had happened in the team over the past few days.

After carefully reading the Ayelai Notebook, Roland discovered that it not only recorded everything he had seen and heard, but also some of the things that happened during his coma.

Soon, he learned the rules of the game of 'Suffering' from the conversation between his mentor and the baron. He also understood why his mentor had squeezed a few apprentices into the team.

But since we want to avoid suffering for the main players by increasing the number of players in the team, shouldn’t we cram in more people?
Why are there only a few apprentices in the team for logistics?
'Every once in a while, someone suffers'

Roland couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself, "How long is the time interval between the sufferings? It's been four days, and no one is missing?"
He repeatedly read the front of the book and thought about the team's membership structure.

Gradually, his expression became uglier and uglier.

He discovered two things.

The first thing is the members of the team. It’s not just these people, but these people suffered, so everyone doesn’t remember them.

Catherine had guessed this before.

However, Roland guessed something that no one else had guessed.

He closed the book and said with a pale face: "The evil god is in our team. He joined the team after we entered the ruins! But everyone thought that he joined the team at the entrance of the fern forest!"
'He created an identity for himself, a past!'

'Even I was once deceived by him and thought he was one of our team members!'

Roland was right.

The werewolf (evil god) is in the team, and Roland is the first prophet that the werewolf wants to kill.
