I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 61 I only know one move

Wallace said the little girl was very powerful, and Roland had a strange look on his face. That girl had the weakest magic power. Could it be some kind of disguise?
After learning that these freshmen planned to return to college, Wallace stroked his beard and asked, "Which department are you from?"

"Arcane, sir, we are from the Arcane Department." said the strongest young man in the team.

Wallace's eyes lit up and he said to Roland, "Master Roland, they are your future classmates."

Black Abyss College was nominally an arcane college, and Catherine had originally intended to place Roland in the arcane department.

Wallace sent a thought: "I'm planning to find some old friends in town and try to reconnect with them. If you think it'll be too much trouble to go with them, just wait for me."
Roland thought about it and thought it would be a good idea to go back with these people.

Besides, he had spent enough time with old man Wallace and didn't want to see him again.

Roland looked at the four classmates carefully.

They just introduced themselves. There are four of them, three boys and one girl. The oldest one is 16 years old and his name is Adam. The youngest one is the girl, 14 years old, her name is Helena.

But people here mature early, so those guys all have beards on their chins.

Judging from their appearance, the three boys were all tall and strong, with the tallest being only slightly shorter than Roland. The girl, on the other hand, was nearly 1.7 meters tall.

In this world, the average height of humans is 1.7 meters. Most civilians are short and thin, while nobles are taller and stronger.

These four people all have good looks and their teeth are very white and neat. They should all come from aristocratic families. I just don’t know whether they are from aristocratic families in the secular world or aristocratic families in the wizarding world.

Roland could tell at a glance that these four people had practiced swordplay and had seen blood.

The tallest of the group had a strong frame and arm span, suggesting he was a promising swordsman. Judging by his aura, he was a mid-level knight. He was the leader of the four.

He is 16 years old this year. He can become a medium-level knight at the age of 16. He is very talented.

Regardless of their magical abilities, these four were not a burden.

Roland looked at the tall and strong young man and asked, "What's your name?"

"Adam, sir. My name is Adam," Adam replied respectfully.

Adam was a very proud young man. He did not have a good impression of this second-generation rich man who loved gambling, but the gap in their status was too big, so he hid his impatience in his heart.

Roland nodded calmly and asked, "Do you know the way? What specific mission do you plan to do on the way back?"

Adam explained the situation.

They had actually come here yesterday and had seen the giant monster from the mountain, but the road ahead was blocked. They had purchased information about the giant monster yesterday, so if they didn't complete this mission, they would lose money.

When Roland heard that it was a mountain monster, he couldn't help but frown.

As a man from the secular world, Roland had long been familiar with this kind of monster. It could be said that the children of Valeria had grown up hearing terrifying stories about trolls.

That thing belongs to the troll family, but its size is no longer the same species as a troll.

Their standard size is three and a half meters, about the same height as Anna, but they weigh more than twice as much as Anna!
And those things aren't idiots like Anna who only bite with their mouths, they can throw sticks!
Even with its bare hands, it could easily tear two trolls apart, not to mention its weapons. Furthermore, its thick skin and strong flesh gave it exceptionally high defense. In the secular world, without a dozen official knights and a dozen elite adventurers skilled in trap-making, it would be impossible to attract the attention of such a monster.

Not to mention that this is a variant.

This is a level 2 monster, and even intermediate apprentices have to be very careful when dealing with it!

He didn't know if other low-level apprentices could deal with this mutated thing alone. Roland was not sure anyway.

Roland couldn't help but look at the freshmen in front of him with a strange expression.

These four people were quite brave to dare to challenge such a thing. However, if these people were reliable, then with myself and Prince Feng, this mission should be possible.

Roland stroked his chin and muttered, "Eight magic stones for one person? Not bad, and it's on the way. But let me make it clear in advance, if it's obvious I can't handle it, I'll turn around and leave."

The four students gave each other strange looks, and the little girl weakly reminded them, "There are eight magic stones in total. If you handle the spoils properly, you can earn two more. For five people, each person can get a maximum of two magic stones."

Roland's face froze slightly. The wizard who had issued the quest was truly a bit ruthless. That was a mutated giant monster, and the bounty was only eight magic stones.

Adam, the tallest of the group, said, "Sir, we don't have to fight it to the death. If it's clearly impossible to defeat it, then collecting information about its mutations will give us two magic stones. I mean, a total of two magic stones. We previously bought intelligence for two magic stones, so if we don't kill it, we won't be able to share the money."

After a pause, Adam continued, "We shouldn't have any problem killing it. If its mutations are valuable, its body can be sold for materials. Add in some magic potions we collect along the way, and each of us can get four or five magic stones. That's a lot."

Roland hesitated as he touched it.

He was very short of money right now, and four or five magic stones were indeed a lot. But these guys seemed to really want to kill the monster.

Therefore, Roland was worried that if he encountered a monster, these guys would deliberately lure the monster into the water and force him into the water.

Everyone didn't know what Roland was thinking and thought he looked down on the money.

Wallace advised, "Don't be afraid of the ropes after being bitten once. You and your classmates will have many opportunities to go on missions together in the future. You can't just not go at all, right?"

Wallace's words were ambiguous. On the one hand, he was saying that White Wizard apprentices rarely betrayed their teammates. On the other hand, he was saying that Roland would encounter all kinds of people in the future, and it was impossible for him to stop collecting herbs and treasures just because of something like this.

Roland thought to himself, "Indeed, I'm broke as hell right now. If I can't accept a mission like this that I can do on my way back to the academy, I might as well not accept any missions at all in the future!"

Wallace added, "Go, young master, and consider this your first trial."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Roland blankly.

It seems like this young master has never participated in a trial yet?!
I originally wanted to find a strong teammate, but ended up inviting a living ancestor.

We must protect this young master well along the way!
Roland glared at Wallace and said, "Go away, you old fool."

The corner of Wallace's mouth twitched slightly, but he bowed respectfully to Roland like an old butler.

He said, "Master, when you go back, don't gamble."

Roland was filled with resentment: "I'll remember this! The first time I met my classmates, you roasted me on the fire and made me famous throughout the school!"

'I fuck your daughter!'

"Uh, forget it, I'll let you go today."

Wallace sent a mental message to Roland: "Roland, the Black Forest is still a bit dangerous. Be careful on your way. If you can't make it, just go back to the academy."
Wallace couldn't help but think of the news from three months ago, so he was a little worried. But it was already three months ago.

But he heard last night that someone recently reported him as a demon!
The wizards of Arakka are here to investigate!
Although the whistleblower was deliberately trying to disgust others, his report was actually correct!
So if this matter isn't handled properly, it's going to be a huge problem! A lot of people will be implicated!

This matter is of great importance and he needs to deal with it recently, so the two of them must separate.

Wallace added: "They probably won't give you any trouble, so if you can, don't run away alone."
Roland responded: "You, you bastard, escorting the new students was clearly your job, yet you've handed it over to me. You've cheated me out of my money and then made me work for you. You must arrange for me to live in a separate residence at the academy, one with an alchemy room and a potion garden! And provide me with servants!"
Wallace: ["No problem, no problem! Don't worry, my young master. The academy has plenty of open space. I'll arrange a manor with a herb garden for you!"]
Roland was finally satisfied.

After Roland drove Wallace away, he followed everyone on the road.

"Um, Senior Roland," the girl named Helena asked cautiously, "Do you know formal magic?"

Roland raised a finger and said, "I only know one trick and one sword technique."
