I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Roland took out the Ranger's Handbook, the Ranger's Map, and books on Magical Pharmacy.

The handbook and map contained the names and distribution information of various species and plants in the Black Forest. The Magical Pharmacy books contained detailed explanations.

He used these materials to search for suitable magic potions and locations.

Apart from Wallace and Catherine, no one knew how long Roland had cultivated during his time as a Low-level Apprentice. Therefore, Roland could go all out in his advancement.

Low-level Apprentices and Mid-level Apprentices were two different types of people.

The former were cannon fodder. They were like ants anywhere. But a Mid-level Apprentice in a wizarding settlement was already considered a remarkable fellow. The treatment of the two in the wizarding world was completely different.

Low-level Apprentices who wandered around the outside black market had to be like mice, hiding everywhere.

Mid-level Apprentices were cats, predators.

And High-level Apprentices were wild dogs.

Many black markets did not have formal wizard activities. They were specialized black markets between apprentices.

Roland's current goal was to become a cat. A cat could eat mice, and also had the qualifications to avoid wild dogs, and even scratch them a few times to teach them a lesson.

He had been suffocating in the academy for too long and wanted to take a look outside.

Outside, there would be all kinds of people, all kinds of forces, and many interesting mysteries.

Lost in thought, Roland's eyes moved slightly, and he found a good magic potion in the book.

"Macawi's Flame Whip, also known as 'Fire Vine', has fire poison and can resist ghostly cold. After three hundred years of Fire Vine growth, it can be used as a strange material, and there is a very small probability of producing an 'aberrant root'. The rhizome is non-toxic and edible, has a strong effect on the advancement of Low-level Apprentices, and a weak effect on the advancement of Mid-level Apprentices. Some apprentices who use Fire Vine to advance can slightly improve their fire magic resistance and have a certain probability of increasing the effect of fire-based magic."

"The common growth areas of Fire Vine are distributed as follows... This magic potion is just right! It can be taken directly, it can also be used in medicine, and it grows in my ranger area."

Touching his chin, Roland said, "The most important thing is that the name Fire Vine sounds comfortable! Eating it will definitely increase my yang energy!"

Roland had been exposed to too many ghosts recently. Especially last night, he felt like he was going to be tortured to death.

In addition, he vaguely felt that this magic potion could increase his chances of breaking through by several percent.

"There are many places where Fire Vine grows, I don't need a special Fire Vine, I can just find one and bring it back while patrolling."

The only slightly troublesome thing was that Fire Vine generally grew in places with fire lizards. Fire lizards were Tier 1 creatures, gregarious and easily angered. In large tribes, the superb 'Fire Demon Lizard' occasionally appeared, which was a Tier 2 creature.

The skin of this thing was very valuable, and some clubs would specifically organize members to catch them.

"With the silver pocket watch, lantern, and wizard hat in hand, I can catch some live ones and sell them."

Thinking of the price of the leather armor on his body, Roland felt a burst of heat in his heart.

Roland planned his ranger route.

"Completing 30% of the area's patrol each month will earn 30 points. 30 points is considered completing the task. In addition, discovering a highly polluted area will earn 25 points. I have a pocket watch and can run away at any time, so I can go take a look."

Roland had a ranger's log in his hand, which marked the pollution level of each area.

However, the last ranger patrolled half a year ago, so these markings could only be used as a reference.

The big house belonged to a safe area. The pollution level was less than 10.

But this was not accurate. The last time the ranger tested it, there were definitely not so many undead nearby.

Roland had never measured the actual pollution level near the big house, because when he took out the compass, it started spinning wildly. Fortunately, the pointer was strong enough, otherwise it would have flown out.

"Ah, after I come back this time, I have to find a way to clean up the pollution level of the big house, otherwise one day someone might just bring a compass over and discover the problem."

The ballet ghosts had been dancing in the big house for a month, if the compass didn't spin and fly out, there would be ghosts.

So, if the danger level of a certain area was high, it meant that a mysterious creature might have passed by there. And if the pointer spun and flew out, it meant that a strange creature might have been active there yesterday.

Generally speaking, if the pollution level exceeded 100, it was necessary to notify the academy and let the academy organize the night watchmen to clean up the area. If the pollution level exceeded 200, the instructor would have to bring people over.

If the pollution level was like that of the big house, it meant that the nest of a strange object had been discovered. Telling the professors about it would make them rush over with red eyes.

Rangers would get a lot of extra points if they discovered areas with high pollution levels. It could be said that discovering a place with a pollution level of 100 would be enough to end the patrol.

Roland hesitated between a place with a pollution level of 93 and a place with a pollution level of 62. Both areas had soul garlic and magic eyes.

After thinking about it, Roland circled the area with a pollution level of 62.

"It's safer to go here."

Roland planned to cheat.

"When the time comes, I'll let the ballet ghosts dance over there, and it shouldn't be a problem for the pollution level to reach 100."

There were many magic eyes in this area, and Roland planned to catch more.

Helena's magic eye helped him a lot yesterday. He had already taken advantage of her, so when he came back from this patrol, he had to bring her a few magic eyes back.

Moreover, who knew if he would encounter other ballet ghosts in the future. It was necessary to raise some magic eyes near the big house.

"That's it."

Roland put away his things. He prepared dry food and other items, and also brought the Book of Demons with him.

In addition, he brought a compass and several crystal balls.

The compass was a ranger's tool, used to detect the pollution of various areas of the Black Forest. Based on the information provided by the compass, Roland could submit a ranger report. In addition, the compass could also detect dangerous creatures nearby.

The crystal balls were used for recording, to prove which areas he had been to.

Finally, Roland removed the 3 magic stones used for the magic barrier in the basement. Adding these 3 magic stones, he had 5 magic stones in hand, which was enough for the lantern and the gray magic wand.

Soon, Roland went out and stepped into the forest.

"The Black Forest is still very dangerous, hiding many unknown monsters. Just like that red spirit, which was not recorded in the handbook. Who knows if there are any other things."

Playing with the silver pocket watch in his hand, Roland felt a lot more at ease.

Out of curiosity, Roland used the compass to measure 200 meters outside the barrier of the big house: pollution level 83.

After walking a few hundred meters, the pollution level dropped sharply.

After Roland walked out a few kilometers, the pollution level was already very low.

Roland had already walked out of the area where the big house was located, but he still hadn't encountered the red spirit. He glanced at the compass: pollution level 7.

"Could it be that the red spirit wandered around the big house a few days ago and was turned into a puppet by the ballet ghosts?"

Roland didn't know how many puppets he burned yesterday, and there were indeed some ghost puppets among them.

About half an hour later, Roland completely walked out of the area where the big house was located, but he still hadn't encountered the red spirit. He looked at the compass: pollution level 7.

"It seems that it has been resolved. I'll check those puppets when I have time. The valuable ones can be left to make magic puppets, or sold to Bernard."

Thinking of the black warrior he sold last time, Roland felt a fire in his heart.

It would be quite majestic to have a few black warrior servants.

"Senior Roland, what a coincidence!" Helena's voice suddenly came from behind.

Roland turned his head in astonishment: "Why did you run here, you little girl?"

In the morning forest, a faint mist lingered. The forest was quiet, and there was no figure.

"Helena?"

In this silent forest, Roland's voice was very harsh.

There was no response.

Huff, ha... The sweat on Roland's face flowed down.

Roland glanced at the compass in his hand, his pupils suddenly contracted: pollution level 83.

In a ghostly way, Roland glanced at the lantern hanging on his waist.

The flame of the lantern was flickering, and the magic power reserve of the magic stone on it inexplicably only had about 20% left.

Roland's pupils trembled violently, he had just changed a magic stone before going out!

In the unconscious just now, something made a move, almost shattering the lantern's barrier.

Roland released his perception, fully sensing his surroundings, but found nothing.

Suddenly, Roland remembered a passage in the previous ranger's diary.

—【Don't look back!!!】

At the moment Roland remembered this passage, he suddenly found that his neck was a little heavy.

At the same time, he also saw a pair of withered hands with red sleeves draped over his chest.
