I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

（ 5400 words ）

“I'm not crazy!”

“No, I might be crazy. I'm not sure.”

The young wizard clutched his hair, lost in confusion.

After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Kaila: “Can I ask you a question?”

Kaila took out a bottle of magic potion and walked over, intending to trick him into drinking it, or force it down his throat.

His current situation definitely required medicine.

This potion had calming and hypnotic effects. People who had gone mad could generally recover after drinking it.

Although it would relapse after a while, at least it could calm him down now.

Once they arrived at the Wizard's Tower, his mentor could deal with it. See where he had been and what he had done these days. Anyway, this guy was already crazy, and returning him to the academy would still be in a crazy state.

Since he was going to offend the benefactor anyway, reading his mind wouldn't be a problem. If there was any key information, Soul Search!

“Scholar, I'm afraid you encountered some problems while studying black magic. This is a magic potion specially researched by Mentor Dahl, which can solve such problems. Let's ease it first.” Kaila said softly.

The young wizard took the bottle of magic potion, hesitated slightly, and then looked at Kaila: “This is just a potion for calming and hypnotizing, it can't save me.”

Kaila didn't expect this wizard to be so proficient in potionology, recognizing what it was with just a glance. Her smile froze slightly, and she prepared to take action.

But at this moment, the young wizard said: “I can cooperate with you, but can I ask you a question first?”

This young wizard didn't care what these people wanted to do, he only cared about his skin and wanted to ask a question.

In order to appease his emotions, Kaila nodded and said: “Ask.”

The young wizard asked seriously: “Can you look at your hands?”

Kaila put her hands in front of her: “What's wrong?”

The young wizard dipped his fingertip in Kaila's palm, and rubbed his fingers, as if his finger had just touched some sticky liquid.

His expression was very solemn: “Have you never noticed that you don't have skin?”

Kaila looked at the wizard with an extremely strange look. But then, she suddenly looked at her hands, then rubbed her eyes suddenly, stunned in place.

Her face turned from white to green in an instant, her complexion ashen.

“Skin, where's my skin?”

“Where's my skin!!”

“How could I have no skin!”

“Who stole my skin!”

Kaila brushed off her clothes, looking for her skin. The few apprentices who came with her hurriedly held Miss Kaila down, preventing her from making a fool of herself in public.

The people in the bathhouse were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Wasn't Master Kaila fine just now? How did she go crazy after only saying a few words to that person?!

The one who drove Kaila crazy was Roland.

Kaila came today to treat his mental illness, but she was driven crazy by Roland!

She repeatedly checked her body, and then frantically grabbed the people around her, asking for her skin.

The entire bathhouse was in chaos.

At this time, Roland had already run away.

He covered his body with a hood, walked out of the bathhouse, and stepped out of the bathroom. He changed his appearance many times, but it was useless!

It seemed that no matter how he changed, in the eyes of others, he was still his original appearance.

And in his opinion, he had no skin.

Just then, a hand suddenly patted Roland's shoulder.

With just this pat, Roland felt his body become like stone, almost unable to move.

He struggled to look back, his face suddenly becoming very ugly.

It was actually a formal wizard! Standing beside him were three distraught Black Abyss apprentices.

The formal wizard was slightly surprised to see that Roland could still turn his head.

He said to the three Black Abyss apprentices: “Is this one of yours?”

These three Black Abyss apprentices were Roland's teammates. Not knowing what had happened, Dahl's eyes were filled with murderous intent when he spoke to them.

Brenda, the leader, had a very pale face. He looked at Roland, revealing a strange expression, and finally said: “He's one of us, Lord Dahl.”

Roland cursed inwardly, he was certain that these people must have caused some major incident today, angering Lord Dahl. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to make trouble today, and he would have run away long ago!

At this moment, the scene in front of Roland suddenly changed, and then he found himself following Dahl and others to the bathhouse. It seemed that in that instant just now, Dahl had teleported them here.

Kaila was going crazy here.

Dahl reached out and pointed at her, and Kaila fainted to the ground. Then, Lord Dahl waved his wizard robe, and all the crazy people in the bathhouse were taken into his dimensional bag.

Immediately afterwards, Dahl and Roland and others beside him disappeared from the spot like afterimages.

— Shadow Walk!

Dahl Town Wizard Tower.

In the semi-study.

Five White Fang high-level apprentices stood on either side of the study, staring at the guests in the chair in the middle of the study with unfriendly expressions.

Those were four Black Abyss apprentices, sitting at a small round table. Just now, the maid had even come over to pour them each a cup of tea. But only one of the four people was in the mood to drink tea.

Upon closer inspection, all four of them were parasitized by a type of fern, which made the magic power in their bodies very chaotic, unable to mobilize magic power at all, and unable to open their storage bags.

Lord Dahl paced slowly in the study, holding a report in his hand, turning the pages one by one.

After a moment, he looked at the leader of the four Black Abyss apprentices and said: “Mr. Brenda, is this your conclusion? That I made my territory a mess?

In your report, everything was done by me and my White Fang Society?

Why would I do this?

In order to make my territory unable to operate?”

With a bang, Dahl angrily slapped the report on the desk: “Why would I do this!”

Brenda was very straightforward, he said: “Respected Lord Dahl, why you did this is not important. What is important is that you must do this.”

Dahl asked: “So, this is the purpose of the Black Abyss Academy sending you here?”

Brenda said: “Sir, I cannot represent the Black Abyss Academy. Nor can anyone represent the entire academy.”

Dahl nodded deeply, anger making his pupils stand up like a snake.

Then Brenda's body began to slowly turn into a stone sculpture from the legs under Lord Dahl's gaze, and then slowly sprinkled on the ground like sand.

A look of horror finally appeared in Brenda's eyes, and he shouted to his companions: “Think about your parents and family, think about that soul contract! All keep your mouths shut, otherwise the consequences will be worse than death.”

Brenda turned into a pile of sand.

Dahl's gaze turned to the second Black Abyss apprentice, whose head was dripping with bean-sized beads of sweat.

Lord Dahl slowly asked: “Then, sir. Please tell me, who wants to take over my Dahl Town?”

The apprentice's face was pale, he did not meet Lord Dahl's gaze, and kept chanting something in his mouth.

What he was chanting was not a spell, but the various trivial things he had done today.

This was a small trick used to deal with mind reading. When a wizard has no magic power, he can avoid being read the true thoughts in his heart by this method.

Lord Dahl frowned and looked at the apprentice for a moment, then asked again: “Then let me change the question, is this the meaning of the White Chess Council, or the idea of the Black Abyss School? Or is the Twilight Council about to take action?”

The apprentice's face became even more ugly, and the sound of chanting things in his mouth became even louder.

Half a minute later, Lord Dahl nodded suddenly, and he asked again: “So, which Tower Master is it?”

The apprentice looked like his parents had died, knelt on the ground and begged: “Sir, don't ask, don't ask! Kill me, please kill me!”

In the plea, his body gradually turned into a stone sculpture, and then turned into sand and scattered all over the ground.

Dahl looked at the third person, the third Black Abyss apprentice trembled in horror, and shit and pee flowed out of his trouser legs.

After watching for a while, Dahl seemed to have read a lot of things, and his expression was very angry.

He waved his hand and said: “Take him down and give him truth serum.”

He planned to have the apprentices carefully interrogate him again.

Two high-level apprentices walked over coldly, dragging him away amidst the Black Abyss apprentice's cries.

Lord Dahl looked at the last apprentice. This apprentice's hands were entangled with ferns, but he was holding tea and drinking it.

He didn't seem to be afraid at all, and had been looking at Lord Dahl with strange eyes. That kind of look almost made Lord Dahl suspect that something strange had grown on his body.

This apprentice was the guy who caused a bunch of trouble in the bathhouse today.

Lord Dahl had just learned from Brenda and others that his name was Roland.

Well, Brenda said that this kid is not with them. Who would believe that?

Okay, it is indeed possible, but now I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!

Otherwise, my territory and my life will be gone!

“What do you know?” Lord Dahl asked.

Roland raised his head, his words were decisive: “Sir, I know that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with you.”

Lord Dahl was slightly stunned, and he asked curiously: “Why are you so sure?”

The newest novels are first released on 69shu.com!

Roland said, "Because I'm the only one truly investigating this matter, and also because..."

What Roland wanted to say was, 'Because your skin is gone too! Didn't expect that, did you? Hahaha!' But he didn't dare continue.

Lord Dahl frowned. He realized that he couldn't clearly read the little wizard's detailed thoughts. But he could barely sense that what the little wizard said was from the bottom of his heart.

This kid named Roland seemed very sure that White Fang was unrelated to this matter. He might really have grasped some key clues.

Dahl asked, "Are you a wizard from the Alexandra family?"

Roland carefully considered his words and said, "My lord, I am just a live-in son-in-law, but my wife is Miss Catherine. She is the future head of the Alexandra family, and the adopted daughter of the White Queen.

Although my status in the family is not high, I believe that as long as you allow me to take the report I am about to write back, then no matter who Brenda and the others are sent by, our family's future leader will definitely try her best to prove that you are not involved in this matter. She will also definitely hope to forge a deep friendship with you."

Lord Dahl waved his hand impatiently and said, "I know about your family's messy affairs, and I also know about your fiancée. Your family used to be a shareholder of Dahl Town, but now you've been kicked out.

So, don't try to bluff me with your connections. If my town has problems, many, many people will be unhappy.

I don't need you to make false evidence and a bunch of fake witnesses. Your family can't handle this matter! No one can handle it!

What I want is the truth! The backers need the truth! Their business is affected, and we must catch the troublemakers!"

Although this territory is just a small town, it is a money tree and an important channel.

But only 20% of this money tree belongs to Dahl. The other 80% belongs to the Twilight Council and the White Chess Council.

And the biggest transactions are not the transactions on the books, but the private exchange of materials without amounts, and the exchange of people. The benefits are very complex and involve many things.

Dahl Town is the value of Lord Dahl's existence. The more valuable Dahl Town is, the more valuable Lord Dahl is.

But recently, this money tree is dying. Lord Dahl can no longer serve the backers behind him.

Each of the backers has raised many people. They need many places to help launder goods and money. They also need many channels to buy and sell things that the Twilight Council or the White Chess Council would never sell openly.

Dahl Town is such an important channel.

Recently, many backers have expressed dissatisfaction with Dahl, which has emboldened many people, and they have begun to covet this place.

Therefore, Lord Dahl is very worried.

Once something goes wrong here, he will die.

Moreover, he not only needs this money tree to prove his value, but also needs to use this tree to provide resources for himself.

Lord Dahl has been stuck at the bottleneck of the mid-First Order for many years, and he is about to break through recently. He needs channels that can provide rare items, and he also needs a large amount of funds.

At the same time, as a wizard lord, he also has seven thousand mouths to feed!

Among these seven thousand people, in addition to the Muggle civilians, there are also apprentices and a large number of werewolves. The former are money-swallowing beasts, and the latter are big eaters. Every mouth that eats is money.

Dahl needs backers, channels, and funds.

He very much needs to deal with the source of the madness. As for the Lord of the Black Abyss Tower, he is a Second Order wizard, and there are a bunch of formal wizards in the tower.

Lord Dahl and his White Fang Society are not as strong as a tower in the Black Abyss university.

He naturally can't afford to offend that tower master.

However, as long as Dahl Town can be re-operated, without Lord Dahl taking the initiative to mention it, the backers will go to chat with that tower master and settle this matter.

Therefore, the matter of Dahl Town must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise the manager of Dahl Town will be replaced.

Lord Dahl has been personally investigating this matter for a long time. But he doesn't have any clues.

Now, this kid from Alexandra obviously has some clues, so this kid has value.

Roland understood what Lord Dahl meant. He said, "My lord, I am sure that the source is not in Dahl Town. But if I investigate further, I need someone to help. Can I write a letter to my family?"

Lord Dahl said without turning his head, "You don't need to write a letter to your family. I have people here."

Roland pursed his lips and asked, carefully considering his tone, "Lord Dahl, are you planning to personally accompany me with someone?"

Lord Dahl did not answer immediately. He thought for a moment, then looked at Roland and asked a question: "You believe that I am not involved in this matter, is it because you think that I also have no skin?"

The corner of Roland's eye twitched, and he explained, "My lord, everyone looks strange to me now, but this should just be my mental problem. With your strength, it is absolutely impossible for the skin on your body to disappear for no reason."

Lord Dahl nodded and said, "Wizards of the Black Abyss lineage are indeed destined to suffer from serious mental problems sooner or later."

As soon as Roland heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would definitely be best if Lord Dahl accompanied him.

Lord Dahl added, "It's just an investigation. I will send one of my capable assistants and a group of students to go with you."

Roland's face stiffened slightly, and he thought to himself, 'How can this old guy be so timid? Knowing that it's just going to investigate, he's not willing to go himself.'

Because of the things that Brenda and those guys did, Lord Dahl was very worried that the people from the Black Abyss were involved in this matter. So he couldn't let Roland write a letter to call for people.

As for the matter of manpower... Dahl has taught many formal wizards, but these wizards have already used the Dahl Town platform to mingle with the backers in the Twilight and Black Abyss Councils.

Dahl is very willing for his students to find other high positions, because they all remember Lord Dahl's kindness and will strengthen his relationship with all parties. They are all his channels and partners.

So Dahl will not use favors to find these students of his who have already become successful. He will only send a high-level apprentice and a dozen or so mid- and low-level apprentices.

After all, it's just going to investigate. Apprentices are enough.

Moreover, conversely, if this investigation is very dangerous, then even more so, formal wizards cannot be sent.

It's not too late to gather a group of formal wizards to solve this matter after the apprentices have investigated the matter clearly.

Dahl threw a pie to Roland: "Those little cubs are bold and greedy. I don't know what benefits that tower master gave them, but they seem to be very dissatisfied. They not only splashed a pile of dirty water on me, but also stole my 'Moss Robe'. This thing is indeed valuable. A few low-grade robes are enough for them to pluck up the courage to take risks.

I don't know if you, like those little cubs, also participated in the auction a while ago. The finale that night was the Moss Robe that I personally made. However, although the auction was a big gimmick, how could it be a top-grade item?

Over the years, I have only refined one top-grade item. Naturally, I wear it myself.

As for the high-grade items, I want to give them to the backers of various schools. So what I actually threw out was just a small top-grade item among the mid-grade items.

Before advancing to a formal wizard, it's good for apprentices to have such a robe. Not many descendants of large families wear this thing. I can promise that if you can help me investigate the information, I will give you a similar Moss Robe."

Roland touched his face with his finger, looked at the blood stains on his bare fingers, and nodded in agreement.

He had no choice in this matter. Even without Dahl's request, he would probably have to go.

He had to get his skin back.

Roland asked, "Do you have hemostatic glue here? You know, I don't have skin now, I'm bleeding."

Dahl looked at Roland with a strange look for a while, then sighed deeply.

Forget it, the guys from the Black Abyss all have mental illnesses. But having a mental illness doesn't mean they can't do things.

On the contrary, among the wizards in the Black Abyss and Twilight, the more crazy they are, the more amazing methods they have.
