I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha
#142 - Going crazy anyway
That cocoon-like person was chuckling and chattering while staggering around. Wherever he went, people scattered.
Finally, a professor came over, gently stroked his head, and soothed him for a while. Only then did he stop wandering around and instead began shaking his body ecstatically in place, looking like a coral polyp on stimulants.
The remaining people looked withered and gaunt. The blood seemed to have been drained from their bodies, making them resemble dried-up corpses with hardly any hair left on their heads.
After crawling out, this group of people uniformly looked towards this side, as if they were starving and parched.
Several professors took out blood vats and poured them on the ground. Subsequently, the blood slowly gathered at the feet of the dried-up apprentices.
The dried-up apprentices' bodies were like sponges; the blood was absorbed as soon as it touched them. Before long, the ground was clean. The blood poured into the sand by the professors didn't leave a single trace.
After the apprentices greedily drank the blood, they groaned with satisfaction. Their bodies visibly returned to normal.
Then, the expressions of these people returned to normal. Each of them behaved elegantly and with good manners. Some even bowed apologetically to the people from the Black Abyss and White Chess academies.
Ying Tao came over at some point. Seeing Roland's questioning gaze, she said, "They are the Twilight Blood Clan. Before the Nightshade Family broke away from the Blood Clan to follow Alexandra, these Blood Clans were the masters of the Nightshade Families."
Roland asked, "What about the other two very special types of apprentices? Which families do they belong to?"
Ying Tao shook her head and said, "They don't belong to any families. They are just a group of apprentices who were ruined by their mentors. These people don't have very high talent, and their backgrounds aren't good. They don't have enough resources. But they have a heart that yearns for the truth.
So some people pay any price, agreeing to all the mentor's requests in exchange for cultivation resources. Some simply join special modification experiments, trying to touch the truth through modification. Occasionally, someone becomes a formal wizard in the experiment. But most people become grotesque."
Roland thought of Haywood and felt a pang of emotion. He thought to himself, 'Is the gap between mortals and pure-blooded wizards on the path of cultivation really that big?'
The arrival of the Twilight Wizards caused a great commotion in the various academies.
Mainly because they were a bit too high-profile. The people from the Black Abyss Academy were fine; many of them had been in contact with these guys before. Most remained silent, just muttering and complaining in their hearts, 'So the fellow cultivators have finally arrived.'
The little children from the other academies, who spent their days playing house in a greenhouse, had poor psychological endurance. Each of their faces was very unsightly. In their eyes, the Twilight Wizards were not wizards, but monsters.
After watching for a while, Roland discovered that the leader of the Twilight Wizards' team was only a peak Rank 1 wizard, which was much different from the leaders of the other academies.
That person's body looked like it had been burned by a great fire. His mouth was split to the roots of his ears, and his tongue and gums were covered with tiny teeth and eyes.
Roland felt a little strange and said, "Why didn't they send a branch dean or a tower master?"
Ying Tao said, "They did. Tower Master Zoe is in the sky."
Roland searched the sky for a long time but didn't find any wizards. The only thing flying in the sky was that 'hot air balloon' made of piled-up cocoons.
Suddenly, Roland realized something, and his face stiffened. He looked at the large tumor and asked, "Is that even considered a person anymore?"
Ying Tao shook her head and said, "Not a person anymore, but a wizard."
After a pause, she looked at the big-mouthed Rank 1 professor and said, "That is Tower Master Zoe's flesh puppet. Remember in the future, seeing him is the same as seeing Tower Master Zoe."
Roland understood. He carefully looked at the crowd over there and found that several people looked just like the puppet. They seemed to be clones.
At this moment, some commotion appeared on the Twilight Wizards' side. It seemed that several apprentices had suddenly gone mad.
But the Twilight professors didn't care at all. Before long, the crowd over there was in chaos.
The leader of the White Chess Academy couldn't bear it anymore and questioned, "Zoe, what kind of experiment are you doing again recently? The apprentices have already gone mad. Why don't you give them some magic potions to relieve them?"
The humanoid Tower Master Zoe glanced over here after hearing the words of the White Chess Branch Dean and said, "They're all going to go mad sooner or later anyway. What's the point of drinking it?"
After saying that, the sarcoma on his head opened hundreds of eyes and looked towards the direction of the oil painting.
Suddenly, the distant pastoral scenery changed rapidly, and the pastoral oil painting chessboard cracked with a crash. Then, an incomplete small teleportation gate appeared on the mountaintop here, and the Twilight apprentices filed in.
This scene made the professors who were busy opening the gate a little at a loss.
These Twilight Wizards were too impolite and not polite at all. The white-robed wizard was furious but was stopped by the Black Abyss Branch Dean Ukosa.
Black Abyss's Lord Ukosa shook his head and said, "Bruce, don't entangle with these lunatics. Since their application has been approved by the council, let them go. They will collect their anomalies, and we will do our purification. Let's mind our own business. Besides, they all used random scrolls when entering the gate, and the personnel are separated."
The white-bearded Bruce suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the group of Twilight apprentices entering the door and said, "Ukosa, we have to change our strategy. This time, we have to let the children unite and be more efficient. If that group of guys is here to collect anomalies, that's fine, but I'm worried that they are here to cause trouble. You know, that 'World of Ending' on the other side of the door is related to the Goddess Heraka."
The two discussed for a while. After the surrounding professors listened, they hurriedly arranged the matters.
The professors announced some new regulations. Thirty people are in a group and cannot travel alone. After three days, they will be forced to return no matter what the situation. The apprentices on the White Chess Academy side will have a large number of things that can purify pollution.
The apprentices of the Black Abyss Academy must cooperate with the apprentices of the White Chess Academy.
As for the departure time, it should be staggered from the Twilight people for a period of time, so as not to meet as soon as they enter and cause unnecessary conflicts.
Regarding special rewards such as fiefs, the academy will reward them according to the situation. In addition, each participant will be given a piece of medium-grade magic stone and a strange object.
Then, many instructors picked up large plates and came to the apprentice crowd. The plates were piled with magic stones of various elements. In addition, there was a small cloth bag containing a pile of stick figures. After drawing one, you can use a magic spell to take out the strange object from the stick figure. What you get depends entirely on luck.
The White Chess Council is really generous this time. Although there are strange objects of low, medium and high grades, there are more than 100 apprentices on the Black Abyss Academy side alone. More than 100 people means more than 100 strange objects.
Many people participating in this event are not elite apprentices. They don't even have a strange object in their hands. Now everyone's eyes are red when they see that they can get a strange object.
Lance breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just paid special attention to it. The Twilight Wizard apprentices basically don't have any magical brilliance from strange objects. Although they may not fight, the fact that we each have an extra strange object is really reassuring."
Lance is a special male wizard who can see elements with the naked eye. Unless it's like Roland, who has a dimensional bag and carries a miniature dimensional world with him. Otherwise, he can roughly guess how much stuff anyone carries and what special things they carry at a glance.
His words are still very reliable.
Roland and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did their side have at least one strange object per person, but all the academies together had more than 400 people and were entering as a group. On the contrary, the Twilight apprentices only had more than 100 people in total and were entering separately. If they really fought, there was no reason for their side to lose.
At this time, a female instructor came over with a plate. She knew Roland and their boss, Andy, the president of the Magical Chess Society. Andy is at the peak of the advanced apprentice level. The instructor's realm is not as high as his, and her qualifications are not as high as his. Andy is her senior.
After the female instructor came over, she smiled and flattered Roland's boss, and then said that the instructors also had to enter, and she hoped to follow the Magical Chess Society.
President Andy didn't say much, waved his head at the vice president, signaling him to let the female instructor cut in line. Arrange it.
The female instructor was overjoyed.
Roland still cared a lot about rewards such as strange objects. Although he already had several high-grade strange objects, this was all money.
As for magic stones, everyone seemed to love dark shadow magic stones. Roland was very speechless. These guys all said that they were pure white wizards, but they all had some affinity for dark shadow elements! They were all secretly learning and using dark magic!
However, the situation in the Black Abyss Academy was indeed like this. The White Chess apprentices who were willing to come to this academy were all guys who had great curiosity or talent in the field of black magic.
In the entire academy, people with an affinity for dark shadow elements accounted for a large proportion.
Roland didn't pick at all when it came to magic stones. His elemental affinity was a rainbow. He picked a medium-grade magic stone with divine attributes. This kind of magic stone was relatively rare, so he planned to keep it for collection.
He drew a special strange object, a beautiful ballet magic puppet.
Seeing this thing in Roland's hand, Charlie's eyes lit up slightly and said, "You're lucky. Although it's not a high-grade strange object, this magic puppet is Rank 2. It can use formal magic! Although the magic is very simple, you've essentially gained an extra helper."
Lance nodded from the side and interjected, "The most interesting thing is that this thing can be used to be possessed by evil spirits. Cough, I mean, it's easy to be possessed by evil spirits, you know?"
Roland's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly inquired about it. He then learned that this thing could be used as a mage armor for ghosts. The magic puppet itself could only use simple magic, and it had no intelligence, so it required concentration to operate.
But if it were controlled by a ghost, it would be different. The ghost's strength would increase, and it would have a magic capacitor. Moreover, it would have more protection, equivalent to an extra life.
The magic power of the good spirits was only that of ordinary intermediate apprentices. They would run out of mana after using a high-consumption spell like Chain Lightning two or three times.
Moreover, although they were more resistant to beatings than ordinary ghosts, they were still ghosts. They weren't afraid of physical attacks, but they were afraid of magic.
But with the magic puppet as armor, it would be different.
Roland made up his mind to study the knowledge of magic puppets in depth later, and then make some for his servants based on this magic puppet.
Not far away, someone shouted excitedly, seemingly having drawn a high-grade rare item.
The crowd was filled with joy and tension. Roland sighed secretly, 'Another bowl of wine, and it'll be the Suicide Squad.'
He made up his mind that he would leave after obtaining the last two missing magic potions.
Charlie and his group had been here before. After hearing Roland's needs, they flipped through the map and found that the two magic potions were in the same place.
President Andy patted Roland on the back and said, "This time, we don't have to compete for rankings. I'll talk to the person in charge of distributing the 'Positioning Anchors' later and get us thirty anchor points in that area. After entering, we'll just airdrop there, grab the stuff, and you can leave."
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
The vice president leaned over and said, "I'm familiar with that place. Sometimes there are magic potions near the anchor points. If it's fast, we can take care of Junior Roland's matter in ten minutes or so."
Everyone chimed in, and Roland felt guilty. The president comforted him, "You're just an intermediate apprentice. No matter how strong you are, how many people can you match? 5? 10? This is team combat, requiring formations. Individual strength will be greatly weakened. Even the strongest individuals from the Black Abyss School are just super soldiers on the battlefield."
Lance nodded and said, "After getting the stuff, you can leave with peace of mind. If you advance early, we brothers will have one more main force to rely on when we encounter trouble in the future."
Lance's realm was the same as Aurelia's. Before Roland joined the club, when he first saw Lance leading people to beat up Senior Brenda and others, he was already preparing for advancement. Now, six or seven months later, he was already a senior apprentice.
The president looked at Charlie again, "You too, aren't you missing a magic potion? Leave after getting it."
Charlie's face turned pale, then white, and finally he sighed and nodded.
Seeing Brother Charlie ditching class and deserting with him, Roland felt much better.
At this time, the two presidents of the Red Skull walked over.
The male one was the president, a peak senior apprentice, and the female one had just advanced to senior apprentice not long ago.
The Red Skull and the Magic Chess Club had always had some grievances, but now that the lunatics and perverts of the Twilight Council had arrived, everyone was under great pressure. So they came over to chat.
Although the two sides had always had grievances, the people of the Magic Chess Club would always spare the other party's life when they had disputes with others. So although the Chess Club had ruined many of the Red Skull's plans, it wasn't a deadly feud.
Now that the Red Skull had taken the initiative to express its sincerity, Andy naturally put aside the past grievances. The two sides had a strong sense of shared hatred.
Roland recognized the vice president. It was the sister of Angelina and her siblings, Senior Aurelia.
The male president was named Brown. He had considerable strength and was also the son of a certain high tower master.
He was also a member of the Nightshade family and a distant relative of Aurelia. But the two were very ambiguous.
However, Aurelia and Kaiming had already held their wedding, but she and Brown, the president of the Skull Club, were very close.
When the two spoke, Brown was very gentle, and his palm would naturally stroke Aurelia's back. When the two looked at each other, their eyes were almost drawing silk.
However, Aurelia looked cold and arrogant when talking to others.
Aurelia's hatred for Roland had reached its extreme.
But when she spoke to Andy, she never looked at Roland directly. She didn't seem to take him seriously at all.
On the other hand, Brown, the president of the Red Skull, always stared at Roland with a smile. There was a faint killing intent in his eyes.
The feud between Roland and the Red Skull was irreconcilable. The Red Skull could reconcile with the Magic Chess Club, but not with Roland. The two sides were mortal enemies.
Speaking of which, this President Brown was also very blessed. The two most beautiful ladies in the Red Skull were both related to him, and they often had relationships together.
Roland felt sorry for Kaiming in his heart.
He thought to himself, 'I don't know what these guys plan to do to me after entering. But they won't have a chance. I'll take a stroll inside and come out.'
The two Red Skulls had just finished talking and hadn't left yet. The student council minister, along with the president, walked over.
This minister was extremely pure-looking, but she had a pair of soul-stirring peach blossom eyes. Her beautiful big eyes were watery, and she seemed to be flirting with everyone she saw.
When she walked over, everyone's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
The president of the student council was also a prominent figure among the apprentices of the Black Abyss Academy. It was a pity that he was a sentimentalist. He followed this minister like a sword-wielding bodyguard. Although he looked very gentlemanly, there was a hint of humility in his words and deeds.
But it was no wonder, this minister was very powerful. She was an orthodox apprentice of the old Black Abyss School.
Her status was even more impressive than Brown of the Red Skull. At least three tower masters of the orthodox Black Abyss School had stated that she was their niece, granddaughter, or adopted daughter. And her mentor was the vice president of the academy.
Not to mention apprentices, even professors usually avoided this grandmother when they saw her. They were afraid of offending her and being reported.
After this lady came over, Andy quickly greeted her.
But this lady didn't even glance at Andy, and went straight to Roland.
She squinted her eyes and sized up Roland, saying with an unkind expression, "Aren't you not coming?"
Roland turned his head and didn't want to talk to her, "Miss Angelina, please don't talk to me anymore. Lest Master Catherine misunderstand. We are just good brothers, but now the rumors outside are getting more and more numerous."
Andy and the others had gossip written all over their faces.
They had been eating melons a lot lately.
This Miss Angelina was in the same tower as the Princess. The vice president had used connections to send her to Catherine's side.
As a result, Roland went to 'date' Angelina every day.
In fact, Roland was going to see Catherine, using Angelina as a cover.
As a result, because the female officials managed things too strictly, Catherine didn't get many opportunities to see him, but instead, many scandals spread between her and Angelina.
I don't know what Master Catherine thinks about this, but Helena has been jealous a lot.
Dating someone else under the eyes of his fiancée?
Little Brother Roland really did everything that courted death.
After a pause, Roland added, "Also, your previous suggestion was too idiotic. Even if I come today, I won't team up with you."
This Miss Angelina was naturally Miss Lilith. As for what she wanted Roland to do... She wanted Roland to help her plant shepherd trees in the forbidden area. And they were the kind of specially treated saplings that would start to grow wildly as soon as they were planted. The kind that couldn't be burned.
