I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 86 The Dance Master's Release

After pondering for a moment, Roland stood up, found the complete collection of daily spells, opened the book and studied it for a while.

[You have learned the Ignition Technique (0/100)]

[You have learned the Frost Condensation Technique (0/100)]

After a moment, Roland took the crucible from the alchemy table and waved his wand.

The Bitter Sleep Crucible flew in front of Roland, and materials flew from the shelves into the crucible. Then a small ball of fire appeared at the bottom of the crucible and slowly began to heat up.

Roland kept chanting spells and stared at the changes in the pot. Occasionally, he would look through the recipe, adjust the temperature according to the phenomenon in the pot, or add a new ingredient.

This potion was a complete failure.

Roland had a blank expression on his face. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote some notes on the recipe, then began to brew another potion.

After three pots, the new potion was boiling, and a strong magical scent filled the alchemy room.

Roland extracted the potion, observed the test tube and found that the potion was successful.

He summarized his experience in the alchemy log and continued to brew the potion. This time, one out of ten pots of potion was successful.

"It's still not right." Roland rubbed his chin, thinking hard. "According to the recipe, with the help of a rare item, the success rate of this version of the Snake Beauty is about 10%. But the last time I succeeded, the phenomenon in the pot was different from what was recorded in the recipe!"

“Why am I successful?”

"Is it the effect of the Crucible of Bitter Sleep?"

"No, something's wrong!"

He picked up the recipe and the alchemy log and studied them for a long time. After a while, he picked up the pen and circled some steps on the recipe, then started brewing the potion again.

After ten pots, there were three more potions on the shelf, and several more changes had been made to the recipe.

In the next few hours, Roland brewed ten more pots. This time, there were eight more bottles of potion on the shelf, and two more places in the recipe had been modified.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Roland said to the recipe with red eyes, "Senior, you are such a scumbag! There is something wrong with what you wrote on the recipe!"

Roland concluded that Catherine must also possess a rare artifact similar to the Crucible of Bitter Sleep. While brewing the potion, she repeatedly used flawed steps and successfully brewed the potion. She then recorded these flawed answers in the recipe!

Roland corrected the questions that his senior student had written incorrectly, so his success rate reached 80%.

"I told you, it's a perfect procedure, and with the help of a magical item, how come the failure rate is still such an outrageous 9 out of 10?!"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Roland glanced at his pocket watch.

He has been working with full concentration for 18 hours.

With his feet feeling a little frivolous, Roland ate a mermaid fruit and said, "That's it for today. I'll water the mermaid herbs and go to sleep."

In the following days, Roland only did three things:

Brewing potions, meditating, practicing and researching magic, and practicing 'dancing'.

(Three weeks later).
Ding-ling-ling, the bell under the bed rang.

Roland suddenly sat up from the bed and looked around in horror.

Looking around, the entire bedroom was covered with densely packed thin wires, each with a bell attached, like a spider web with hanging bells.

There are numerous runes carved on the floor and walls of the bedroom, and there is also a demon-sealing formation in the center of the room.

A breeze blew outside the window, and a bell on a thin string swayed a few times, making a tinkling sound.

“It’s the wind.”

Roland wiped the cold sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out his wand from under his pillow and waved it. The thin wires in the bedroom moved like snakes. Suddenly, the bells rang and all the thin wires shrank into the corners of the room.

Roland felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the bell.

After walking out of the bedroom, Roland was almost knocked down by a small piece of wood under his feet.

It was a wooden carved mouse, and the carving was so lifelike that it looked like it was alive.

Roland picked up the wooden mouse and said to it deeply, "Thank you for last night."

Looking up, I saw runes everywhere on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the living room, and there was also a magic-sealing formation in the center of the hall.

The whole house looked as if it had been carefully decorated by an exorcist. It looked very strange, making people wonder if some evil spirit would suddenly crawl into the house and dance at midnight.

"No, the frequency is increasing. We must find a way to deal with this trouble or we can't stay here anymore!"

During these three weeks, Roland had seen someone dancing in the room more than once or twice.

At first it was once every few days, and later it was once a day!
Later on, it appeared several times a day!

Sometimes, while Roland was asleep, he could hear people dancing upstairs.

Sometimes when I open a door to go to the bathroom, I see an elegant dancer standing at the door!
Under this extreme stimulation, Roland finally couldn't bear it yesterday. He dug out the Demon Book from the front yard and threw it into the swamp in the distance.

As a result, that night, the book and the dancer inexplicably appeared in the living room.

If it weren't for that mouse, there would have been another puppet named 'Roland' in the hall yesterday. Last night, after sealing the ballet ghost, Roland knelt on the ground and burned three incense sticks for it, begging it to let him sleep well.

Perhaps it was the presence of Alaya Buddha, Roland didn't hear anyone dancing in the big house last night.

He had a hunch that today would be a quiet day.

After flipping through Alaye's notebook, Roland smiled bitterly.

He didn't expect that his biggest gain during this period, in addition to various magic and potion alchemy, was his physical skills.

"I need to buy some more things and make some incense when I go back to the academy today. Whether it's useful or not, let's prepare it first."

Rubbing his swollen forehead, Roland ate a mermaid fruit.

Under the miraculous effect of the mermaid fruit, Roland felt much better.

"Let's eat, and then we'll go back to the academy. It got quite a bit of exercise last night, so it should be quiet for two days."

Roland discovered that every time the ballet ghost appeared, if he danced with it for a while longer, the time interval between its next appearance would be longer.

He didn't know if there was any metaphysics involved, but from a practical point of view, dancing with the ballet ghost could make it peaceful.

Roland rubbed his eyes, washed up, and went to the kitchen to prepare today's meal.

The food is venison and wild vegetables.

During this period, Roland would often muster up the courage to search the woods outside the big house.

He knew there was another female ghost outside, but Roland's heart rate had already improved significantly under the training of the ballet ghost. He didn't say that Shan Beng remained calm, but when the female ghost suddenly appeared in front of him, his blood pressure was able to remain at a very stable value.

Compared to the ballet ghost, the red ghost was also elusive, but at least it had a regular pattern, so Roland could avoid encountering it.

After observation, it was found that the red ghost would not appear as long as one did not leave the big house too far.

It seemed that the ghostly female neighbor had given him a small area of ​​activity, about one kilometer in size.

The deer that died of curiosity in the kitchen and the wild vegetables were all harvested by Roland near the big house.

These wild animals solved a big problem for Roland - he had only brought a week's worth of supplies.

Soon, the venison stewed with wild vegetables was ready, and Roland brought the food to the dining room.

Compared to the third cycle, the restaurant now had many more simple wooden furniture, as well as tables, wooden bowls, etc. These items were basically made by Roland using everyday spells. Although they looked strange, they were useful.

While eating, Roland couldn't help but think of the red ghost.

While cleaning up the big house, he found some records left by the previous rangers.

That red ghost is very troublesome.

Roland thought for a long time and found that he had no other way except to use the ballet ghost to destroy it.

But the prerequisite is that the ballet ghost must cooperate with him.

In order to get the Ballet Ghost to cooperate, Roland thought of many plans and also observed the Ballet Ghost for a long time.

He discovered that the ballet ghost was not incapable of communication, but its consciousness was very fragmented, with almost no thoughts at all, just like a sleepwalking vegetative person.

In the Book of Demons, there are many explanations about the soul.

The various behaviors of the ballet ghost are very similar to those of the "nameless person" who is missing a soul.

"There must be some necromancy magic that can complete its soul."

"If I can collect it in the Book of Demons, I can use necromancy to complete its soul and control it!"
