I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 73 Just wait for me
After Helena fell asleep, Roland read for a while.

The knowledge in the book made him temporarily forget the troubles of the ballet ghost.

Roland rubbed his eyes and decided to go to sleep. When he turned around, he found Helena half lying on his blanket.

Roland couldn't help but recall the things in Helena's bag. He cursed inwardly, "This damn girl, she keeps saying she's picking up trash, but she's actually richer than anyone else!"

When Roland was searching Helena's package for the forest entry permit, he almost popped his eyes out of his head at the contents.

He just glanced at it casually and saw three strange objects, a small pile of magic stones, various magical element gems, and five or six gems that looked a bit like magic stones, but were larger in size and had purer magic power.

Among all the items above, that small pile of magic stones is the least valuable - it is equivalent to coins and change.

In addition to these things, there is also a pile of junk. It is junk that has been picked up.

"When Alice was little, she also loved picking up trash. Baron Hall's wine cellar had over twenty large oak barrels of gold coins hidden in it. But Alice kept asking me to take her treasure hunting in the backyard of the Adventurer's Tavern."

If it weren't for the incident in the yellow-brown fern forest, would he be able to stay away from trouble and become Baron Hall's adopted son or son-in-law?

No, no. Roland felt he couldn't stay any longer.

Besides, he really had no feelings for Alice.

She was indeed a very beautiful girl. The two had been friends since childhood, like real sisters, and even bathed in the same big tub when they were little.

Roland really had no interest in her.

In Roland's mind, she was just a clingy, annoying sister.

Roland treated Alice as his sister, and Helena as his younger sister as well.

"My wife's illness should have healed by now."
Roland looked at the ceiling and slowly fell asleep.

In his sleep, Roland felt someone gnashing their teeth and talking in their sleep while nudging towards him.

When Roland woke up in the morning, everyone was still asleep. He felt half of his shoulder was numb. He opened his eyes and found Helena, his junior, lying in his arms.

Helena's eyelashes fluttered, and her face gradually turned red. She seemed to have woken up.

Roland didn't notice these small details. He quietly moved Helena's head away, stood up and kicked Adam and the others in the buttocks to wake them all up.

Everyone washed up, ate some dry food, and waited for someone to come pick them up.

Roland suddenly remembered the mountain monster, took out the ten magic stones, and told him about Professor Bernard's forced purchase.

Roland was truly broke now, with only twenty magic stones left in his pocket. He didn't even know if it would be enough to pay the tuition.

Moreover, Roland planned to choose an independent dormitory. Although Wallace could give him a backdoor and let him choose any dormitory he wanted, the college would receive accommodation fees, and Roland would definitely have to pay for it himself.

But Roland couldn't keep all 10 magic stones. He felt guilty. Seeing Roland take out 10 magic stones to share, Lawrence, Helena, and another freshman hesitated for a moment and then reached out their hands, but Adam pushed their hands away.

Helena said pitifully, "Adam, we can't survive any longer. Just take these two magic stones."

Roland glanced at Helena and cursed in his heart: "You damn bitch, you're the richest. After all, I saved you in the end. I have to blackmail this stinky girl later. Otherwise, I will be unhappy!"
Roland is now very hostile to the rich.

Adam said firmly, "Brother Roland, we've already discussed this. We'll share the money for this mission, but when we have more money, each of the three of us will give you five more magic stones. This is a token of our appreciation, and you must accept it. If you don't, we won't be able to meditate peacefully in the future."

There were four of Adam's group, but he said, "The three of us are giving you something as a token of our appreciation."

When he said this, the taciturn freshman in the team lowered his head and avoided everyone's gaze.

Roland looked at the expressions of the four people and suddenly understood.

He thought to himself: "No matter how good friends are, after going through hardships, there will always be people who go their separate ways."

Roland thought about it and stopped being pretentious. He said, "I'll take those 15 magic stones."

Helena said cautiously, "Then these two magic stones."

Roland rolled his eyes secretly, took out eight of the ten magic stones, and divided them among the four people.

The freshman, whose name Roland didn't remember, took the two magic stones hesitantly and said nothing.

Lawrence happily accepted the magic stone and said happily, "Senior, brothers should settle accounts clearly. We will divide the spoils and reward money normally. When we have money, I will repay you with five magic stones. Five magic stones may not be much, but this is all I can come up with, so don't think it's too little. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I, Lawrence, am not afraid of death and will definitely not refuse."

After Adam took the magic stone, he nodded and said, "There's still a reward, and with that junk, it's five or six magic stones. Brother Roland, this amount isn't enough to repay you for risking your life to save me, but it's a token of our appreciation."

Roland looked at the two freshmen and thought to himself, "These two are worth making friends with. Adam and Lawrence are hardworking, talented, and have good personalities. Although their current abilities are limited, they will definitely go far in the future."

At this moment, Helena reached out and took the last two magic stones from Roland's hand. "Senior Roland, I owed someone some money. I'll give you the five magic stones when I have more money."

Roland was secretly furious. He thought to himself, "Little rich woman, just wait for me!"

Suddenly a wizard in a gray robe knocked on the door.

Everyone hurriedly tidied up their clothes, opened the door and invited the person outside in.

This wizard is at the level of an intermediate apprentice, but he looks to be in his forties or fifties.

Generally, those who hadn't been promoted to advanced apprentice by the age of thirty were not allowed to stay at the academy. Therefore, he wasn't a senior apprentice, but rather an administrative staff member of the academy. His rank was deputy section chief, but he served as the temporary director of the admissions office and had his own office.

He was originally from Baiqi Academy and was transferred here three years ago.

The man looked a little arrogant. His name was Benjamin. After entering the door, he introduced himself and then led everyone out.
