I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 40 Mr. Wallace

When Roland escaped for the first time, the demon actually searched Wallace's entire body.

But for some reason, this guy didn't eat Wallace's body.

As a mid-level apprentice, Wallace's body contained a lot of magic power. But the Abyss Demon ignored him and only took Wallace's bag, as if Wallace was not a delicious meal to the Abyss Demon, but a pile of feces.

Wallace's bag contained many valuable items. Not only potions and herbs, but also a demonic book and some dark, infernal runes. However, there were no magic stones in the bag, likely eaten by the demon.

These things made Roland's face look a little strange.

Roland began to have some guesses in his mind.

Shaking his head, Roland continued to check his other pockets.

The red-haired freshman had nothing valuable in his pocket, but the blond freshman had a lot of treasures in his bag.

The 'Yellow Fern Holy Grail' was quietly placed in the bag of the blonde freshman Claire.

In addition to the Yellow Fern Holy Grail, there were also a large number of silver coins, copper coins, and a small amount of gold coins in the bag, but there was not a single magic stone left.

There are a few seemingly damaged artifacts in the bag, but I'm not sure if they're still usable. I'll study them when I have time.

After closing his two pockets, Roland studied the three strange objects in the demon's ashes.

One is the lantern that can cast a defensive barrier. It is a little damaged, but it can still be used.

Its original effect should be even more powerful, providing a protective barrier for a group of people. It is a top-grade protective artifact.

But now its barrier can only cover a range of about two meters, and the protective effect is much weaker. It can only be regarded as a medium to low-grade wonder.

Looking at the lantern, Roland's eyes became hot.

As a low-level apprentice, it is great for me to have a low-grade rare item.

What's more, protective items are generally very expensive. If I had this kind of protective item before, I wouldn't be so scared by those three black lights.

That small gray magic wand is also a rare item. The black light that killed people invisibly before came from this magic wand.

This black light could track and fire in triple bursts. It was incredibly insidious, and it left a deep impression on Roland.

There are three slots on the wand, each containing three magic stones, but only one of them still has magic power.

Roland tried to release a black light with his gray wand and found that the magic power of the magic stone had been reduced by one third. It seemed that a magic stone could only release three black lights at most.

"This thing consumes too many magic stones!" Roland secretly clicked his tongue.

Judging from the ratio of magic conversion, Black Light's magic consumption is a bit too high.

After carefully examining the gray wand, Roland discovered that it was also damaged.

The original wand was supposed to be able to unleash wizard-level lethal magic, but the current black light was only slightly stronger than chain lightning in terms of single-target damage.

The wand was indeed damaged, having gone from a top-tier artifact to a mid-to-low-quality one. But for Roland, it was still a treasure!
After studying the wand for a while, Roland felt that the power became stronger when he held the wand in his hand.

He tried to cast an arc of electricity with his wand.

The electric arc that Roland originally released could only travel five or six meters at most, and would only cause pain if it hit a person.

However, the electric arc released by the magic wand flew more than 20 meters away and left a small charred mark on the stone pillar in the distance.

Roland was overjoyed: "What a great thing! This humble wand is the best thing!"

The wand was severely damaged and could only perform some small tricks. But for Roland, this magical item was very useful!

Roland flipped through the Ayelai Notebook and found that when he held the gray wand, the level of all his tricks increased by 1!
Roland had originally trained the arc to level 2, but after holding the magic wand, it became level 3 arc.

It seems that the arc will have a qualitative leap after it is upgraded to level 3.

The current arc still won't kill anyone, and it's not even half as powerful as the "Acid Splash" typical of low-level apprentices. But regardless, it's now a damaging skill.

Roland picked up the wand and pointed at the gem on the ground.

A golden arc of lightning shot out, sending the gem flying far away. Before the gem even hit the ground, several more arcs struck it. The fire of dawn blazed in the gem until faint cracks appeared, and Roland stopped.

"It doesn't look like a soul stone or anything like that."

This gem didn't have the magical aura of a rare object. It looked like something condensed from a dead demon.

Roland was worried that there were still traces of the devil on it, so he burned it with the fire of dawn.

He was overthinking.

"I wonder if Wallace's demonic book contains any information about this gem."

Looking at the gem that had been burned and cracked, Roland felt a little distressed.

He had not received a formal wizarding education. He was capable but had no foundation, and lacked insight and common sense.

Strictly speaking, Roland was still considered a wild wizard. He needed to go to the academy for a systematic education, otherwise his future would be difficult.

Roland didn't plan to stay with Catherine and the others forever, but he wanted to go to the academy.

After completing his studies at the academy and completing his apprenticeship, Roland wanted to explore a wider world. Meanwhile, his senior sister would remain within the school. Their paths diverged.

Of course, becoming an apprentice doesn't mean they won't keep in touch anymore. Maybe they'll meet again in the future, but Roland doesn't want to join any group or be with anyone all the time.

"Teacher, you must survive. I'm still waiting to take classes with you and call you Senior!"

The big demon outside can defeat the mentor and others and enter the palace at any time.

But Roland didn't want to leave.

He thought to himself, "I want to wait for that demon. If the mentor and the others pay the price with their lives and beat the boss to only a trace of blood, but I escape, then all our efforts will be wasted."
"I have the scroll in hand and can leave at any time. I will at least wait for the demon to come in and see its condition before leaving. If I have a chance to kill it, I will do my best. If it is obvious that I cannot defeat it, then I will have no choice but to leave."

Roland shook his head and said, "Don't think too much, Roland. Maybe you can mentor them when you survive."
'Wait a moment.'

He put the gem into the dimensional bag and calmly searched for Wallace's body in the hall.

Wallace's body was at the center of the explosion. After searching for a while, Roland found that he had been blown to a stone pillar far away.

This guy's body seemed to be exceptionally strong. He could withstand such fierce flames without being torn into pieces.

His limbs were only slightly twisted.

His clothes had been burned, exposing his entire back, but there was no trace of burns on his skin.

It's like this guy is immune to fire.

Thinking back to the hellish things in Wallace's pocket, Roland's face turned strange.

Speaking of which, Roland found Wallace's storage bag on the demon's body, which meant that the demon had searched Wallace's body before.

But the abyss demon only took Wallace's storage bag and did not eat his flesh.

This is the body of a mid-level apprentice! It contains a huge amount of magical power!
The abyss demon was obviously starving, but he was not interested in Wallace's body at all. It was as if Wallace was not a delicious meal in the eyes of the abyss demon, but a piece of shit.

"Stop pretending, Wallace." Roland said, "The mentor told me your identity before. I know you are not dead yet."

The body didn't move at all.

Roland narrowed his eyes and raised the gray wand in his hand. Then the corpse began to tremble slightly, and then an ugly face slowly grew on Wallace's back.

"Roland, don't, don't kill me. All the rare items are yours. No, there are no rare items at all. They were all eaten by that bastard from the abyss! Including our things, they were all eaten by it! For the sake of my service to the young lady for so many years, please don't send me back to purgatory."

Looking at the ugly demon face, Roland's expression became more and more strange: "No wonder Wallace knows so much about demons. No wonder the abyss demon dislikes it so much. That abyss demon is almost immune to all magic, and Wallace is almost immune to fire."

Normal wizards have servants who are elves and goblins.

The servants around Catherine are ancient elves and little devil servants.
