I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Facing the fish and bear's paw before him, Roland sighed deeply. He poured himself a glass of water and walked to the window.

He decided to first enjoy the moonlight outside the window (choose A first), to clear his mind.

Then, he would take a hot bath (choose B next) to relax.

He wondered if this would help him spark both inspirations.

Lost in thought, Roland drank his water and looked out the window. Suddenly, he seemed to see something outside, and his expression changed drastically.

It's unknown what he saw, but it frightened him so much that he jumped into the large tub of warm bathwater that his mentor had used, without even taking off his clothes.

A moment later, the cabin door made a slight sound.

Creak.

The wooden door was quietly pulled open a crack, revealing an eye the size of a fist in the gap.

This eye was beautiful, as clear as amber, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that her pupils were abnormally small, like awns of wheat. The owner of the eye seemed to be in an abnormal state.

Creak, creak.

The wooden door was carefully pulled open, and then a huge figure flashed past the doorway. Immediately afterward, a massive object appeared on the roof beam.

Fortunately, Catherine had reinforced the cabin with magic, otherwise the house might have collapsed. Because Anna Bienar was even more terrifying, weighing between half a ton and a ton! Heavier than most bears!

But her figure was exceptionally well-proportioned. She looked like a giant kitten squatting on the roof beam, or rather, like a three-meter-tall dark elf.

Her face was completely different from Nall's, without terrifying fangs or a large nose, and was very delicate and beautiful. However, a pile of deformed small tumors grew on her forehead.

These deformed small tumors on her head seemed to be the root of her illness.

This disease had caused some intellectual impairment, making her like a child most of the time.

But when she had an attack, she would become exceptionally bloodthirsty and manic.

Blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, as if she were chewing on something. From the bloody feathers stuck to the corners of her mouth, it could be seen that she seemed to have swallowed an unlucky owl.

Earlier, when Roland was standing at the window, he had just witnessed the scene of Anna capturing the owl.

The owl was standing on a giant silver fir tree, estimated to be seven or eight stories high. But Anna leaped up from the ground, and then clapped her hands together, catching the owl on the treetop in her hands and stuffing it into her mouth!

The whole process was like a cat eating a butterfly!

Now, this 'kitten' who was chewing on a 'little butterfly' was squatting on the roof beam, searching around the room with dangerous eyes for a certain prey.

Roland was currently hiding in the hot water barrel, holding his breath. He had no doubt that he was that prey.

Roland had always had a fear.

This fear had been driving Roland, telling him that he must leave his mentor as soon as possible and never come back.

Roland had always thought that this fear in his memory originated from his mentor Catherine. But today, he realized that he was wrong.

His fear came from the 'Cat Witch'. It came from the 'Cat Witch' who climbed the walls of the castle three months ago, broke into his room, and carried him away!

Just now, when he saw the figure catching the owl outside the window, Roland recalled this fear that had once dominated him.

Cat Witch... This was what Roland feared most.

He had always thought that it was his mentor's transformed appearance.

But in fact, he was wrong.

The townspeople were all wrong.

The 'Cat Witch' was never Catherine, it was Anna!

The mentor kept two 'trolls' — Nall was Nall, and Anna was Anna.

But she deliberately created confusion, making people think that she only had one 'troll'.

During the day, Roland had already witnessed Nall's terror.

This Anna, this real Anna, gave Roland a feeling that was even more terrifying than Nall!

Facing Nall, Roland felt palpitations.

But facing Anna... Roland was trembling all over!

Fortunately, Roland had jumped into the bucket of water in advance, otherwise, Anna would have secretly sneaked into the cabin today, then hung on the roof beam, and given Roland a face-to-face kill!

As a high-level swordsman, Roland actually felt helpless in front of Anna, without even a chance to escape, like a mouse encountering a cat.

Roland couldn't figure it out in the bucket. He thought to himself, 'Catherine is definitely just a high-level apprentice, there is definitely no mistake in this! But... how could a high-level apprentice raise two such terrifying things?! This is unreasonable!'

'If I had known earlier... No, this is her hidden trump card, how could I have guessed it!'

'Heaven is going to kill me!'

Roland believed that if the kitten on the roof beam found him hiding in the bucket, she would definitely fish him out like a little mouse, and then play with him under her body like a cat playing with a mouse.

But conversely, if he could use a suitable magic...

Roland's physical body was simply incomparable to Anna's, but if he could use the right magic, perhaps he could find a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, as long as Roland seized the opportunity, he might be able to break the deadlock and defeat Anna — Anna had no reason, she was a big cat, a beast! Mind Blast was especially effective against her!

But he needed a suitable opportunity.

Roland was waiting for this opportunity, waiting for a chance in grief and indignation.

There was currently one good news: hiding in the hot water really worked! Anna hadn't actually discovered him yet!

And with her current level of intelligence, she wouldn't notice the abnormality of the hot water bucket in a short period of time, so as long as he could hold his breath, he could wait for that opportunity.

Hold your breath... Roland had always been able to hold his breath.

But the key was, he was about to run out of breath!
