I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Roland sat in the chair at the baron's desk, listening to his report.

The baron spared no detail, laying everything out on the table.

The baron was now both happy and worried.

Happy that someone had finally arrived.

Worried because the White Chess Wizards had sent a talking letter to the King before, and the contents of that letter were very displeased, scolding the King severely.

They believed that the epidemic had not been controlled because the King was an idle grazer, failing to manage the citizens of the White Chess Council properly.

Now, the Wizards' envoy had arrived.

If he found fault with anything, everyone would suffer.

After listening to the report, Roland's expression became increasingly strange.

Previously, when receiving the mission, Roland had heard the White Chess Wizard in the crystal ball say that the White Chess School believed that the reason the epidemic in the Amir Kingdom had not been controlled was because the Kingdom had not followed the manual formulated by the school.

Instead, they had believed in the rhetoric of folk wild wizards, which had led to the worsening of the Crystal Princess Disease.

Therefore, Roland was sent to supervise and correct.

But from what he had seen along the way in the town, the reality was not like that.

At least the baron had not been negligent.

The baron said at this time: "Sir, you know that Crystal Princess Disease, like the Black Death, is a plague.

It's a virus! It spreads through air, water, food, and so on.

Therefore, while controlling the spread of the virus, we also adopted isolation, cremation of corpses, water purification..."

After listening, Roland was secretly shocked.

Although this kingdom was small, the White Chess Wizards managed it very well.

The scholars of the court had very good professional qualities.

Therefore, in dealing with the plague, the baron and the scholars he brought from the court were doing a very good job.

After a narration, the baron had someone bring a new mask and a set of gray robes, saying: "These are protective suits made by the court wizards according to the drawings given by the White Chess Masters.

And they have been enchanted as required..."

This town's control of the Crystal Princess Disease was very standardized.

But the Crystal Princess Disease was still spreading.

Almost everyone in the town was about to die.

Including the people the baron brought this time, they were all about to be finished.

For everyone, Roland had become the only savior.

Roland thought to himself: 'I'm afraid it's really not a plague... But why is that magic potion specifically for treating plagues effective?!'

Judging from the compass, there was no mysterious presence in this village.

And judging from other various situations, Crystal Princess Disease should be more like a plague, or a curse.

If he couldn't figure out what this thing was, Roland would have to stay here and become a princess!

He had to first figure out what this disease was.

If it was a plague, then a plague solution had to be used.

A curse was another matter, and mysterious solutions were even more different.

If he used the Raven Society's method and the method the White Chess Wizards gave the baron and them to try separately, comparing them, perhaps he could determine what Crystal Princess Disease was.

Roland took out Amber's 'Raven Society' medical journal from his space ring.

Amber had a total of 37 medical journals!

They were all things written by members of the Raven Society.

There was a lot of seemingly very neurotic content on it... Could it be that he had to let people try it like this?

Roland's expression couldn't help but become strange.

Roland asked: "I heard that in the Amir Kingdom, there is a 'Raven Society'? They are also trying to cure 'Crystal Princess Disease'?"

The baron hurriedly replied: "It's gone!

We have already arrested all the wild wizards up and down the country according to the orders of the White Chess Masters.

They are now all locked up in the kingdom's prison."

Roland looked at Amber, but Amber didn't say a word, avoiding Roland's gaze.

Since entering the house, Amber had been standing beside Roland with her head lowered, not saying a word.

She was trembling all over, not daring to look directly at the eyes of the others in the house.

The scholar on the side interjected: "These people from the Raven Society walk around everywhere.

When contacting patients, they don't take any protective measures.

They are simply walking sources of infection!"

The baron said very angrily: "You know, I often travel around, and I always encounter these guys coming to me for advice.

You know what they said to me?"

Roland asked: "What did they say?"

The baron laughed: "They said that when contacting patients, you shouldn't wear anything, but should take off your clothes and cover your eyes!"

"They also told us to gather all the patients together and lock them in an airtight black room.

Don't let anyone take care of them.

Even if someone dies, you can't carry them out for cremation, just leave them inside to stink with the patients!

They even came up with a kind of sour cake, called 'Rainbow Goddess's Sacrificial Cake', and told the patients to put it around their necks, saying that after hanging it around their necks, they would be blessed by the Rainbow Goddess... Sir, I still have some knowledge.

There is no Rainbow Goddess in this world!"

The scholar on the side couldn't help but interject: "That cake is just ordinary flatbread, soaked in vinegar.

It has no effect."

The baron continued: "Recently, a rumor has spread among the people, saying that when an 'Amber Princess' rings the Rainbow Bell on the 'Gem Basin', the plague will end.

And the diseases on the bodies of those who are locked in the small black room and are suffering will also disappear... They are simply a bunch of cultists!

The White Chess Masters, the King, and the court wizards now all suspect that this disease was spread by this group of cultists!"

In everyone's words, Amber's face was flushed red, and she didn't dare to say a word.

She was the last Raven.

She must not be caught before seeing the King.

Roland nodded and said: "Take me to see the patients."

The baron said excitedly: "Sir, my son is now sick.

He's in the small house next door.

I'll take you there right away."

Soon, everyone came to the outside of the small house.

Everyone was wearing masks and gray robes, and the baron also had two new sets in his hand, one for himself and one for Roland to wear.

Roland waved his hand, telling everyone not to rush.

He first took out the compass and took a look at the pollution level here.

Then his expression became very strange.

The pollution level here was very normal.

Touching his chin, Roland reached out and cast two magic spells, landing on the baron and another scholar.

Then he looked at the crystal ball.

Inside the crystal ball, anatomical diagrams of these two people were displayed.

After observing for a while, Roland found that there were some tiny crystals in the bodies of both of them.

Then, he took out a black cloth and handed it to the baron: "Take off your clothes and cover your eyes."

Everyone: "? ? ?"

The baron asked cautiously: "Sir, w-what does this mean?"

Roland said with a cold face: "Can't you understand common language?"

The baron trembled and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He stripped off his clothes neatly and then covered his eyes.

At the same time, Roland's mind searched in the space ring, and then he took out a few large cakes that emitted a strong sour smell.

This kind of cake was very strange, like a large doughnut.

The middle was empty.

As long as you put it on a person's head, it could be hung around their neck.

Many scholars looked at this cake and felt very familiar, and they couldn't help but show extremely strange expressions.

Wasn't this cake the wild wizards' 'Rainbow Goddess's Sacrificial Cake'?

Roland put those few cakes on the baron's head and then looked at the other scholar: "You take the baron in."

The scholar hesitated for a moment and took the baron into the house.

After the two entered the house, Roland looked at Amber and asked: "Why take off your clothes and cover your eyes?"

The crowd looked at Amber with incomparably strange expressions, and then looked at Roland.

Some guesses arose in their hearts.

Sure enough!

This little girl was a wild wizard that Wizard Roland had picked up on the road!

He didn't know what was going on, but Wizard Roland seemed to believe this little girl's nonsense!

Amber continued: "Crystal Princess Disease is a plague of light.

As long as you don't see it, you won't get sick."

Everyone's faces were extremely ugly.

Indeed!

This little girl is the wild wizard that Wizard Roland picked up on the road!

I don't know what's going on, but Wizard Roland seems to have believed this little girl's nonsense!

Amber continued: "So, if you cover your eyes, you won't get sick... As for why you have to take off your clothes, I don't know.

That's what my grandfather's notes said, and everyone does it like that, but I've never done it, and I'm fine."

Roland reached out his hand: "Where are the notes?"

Amber rummaged in her arms and took out a notebook.

She turned to a certain page and then handed it to Roland.

Roland looked at it and found that it was actually something written in 'Byron Language'!

This was a runic language commonly used by wizards, which could describe magic and elements.

Ordinary apprentices could not understand it.

Those who could record things in this language had to be instructors or formal wizards.

There were also people in the secular world who could reach this level, but they were definitely great scholars.

After taking a look, Roland was very speechless.

The general meaning of what was written above was that clothing was not required, but the eyes must be covered.

As a result, later generations translated it into 'clothing cannot be worn, but the eyes must be covered'.

Next, he carefully read through the notebook again.

After reading it, Roland's expression became even stranger.

At this time, more than ten minutes had passed.

Roland took out the crystal ball and looked at the situation of the two people, and found that the crystals in the baron's body had not changed, they were still so many.

But the crystals on the other scholar's body had become a little more.

He recited another magic spell, and then the baron's perspective appeared in the crystal ball.

In this perspective, Roland saw that the baron's youngest son was rotten all over and covered with sores.

But there were no crystals on his body.

Roland's expression was a little strange, he handed the crystal ball to Amber, and then asked: "Why is the skin of these people like this, is this Crystal Princess Disease?"

Amber said, "Yes, that's how it is in the early stages. Crystal Princess Disease is a form of internal mutation. Crystallization starts with the flesh, then the internal organs, bones, and skin. Only when the crystals grow onto the skin can they be seen."

Roland frowned and asked, "Didn't you say this is the Plague of Light? These people don't have crystals on their bodies, so why are they still contagious?"

A scholar beside him couldn't hold back any longer and interjected, "It's a virus, sir. Not some kind of light transmission. The virus falls into the human body from the air and infects them with Crystal Princess Disease."

Amber said, "No, the virus won't cause Crystal Princess Disease when it falls into the human body. People are infected because the virus spreads into the air and is then seen by people—light is the only way Crystal Disease spreads!"

Listen to the nonsense she's spouting!

How can people see viruses?

Even Roland felt that this girl was crazy after hearing her words.

He couldn't believe he had actually believed her nonsense. He must be out of his mind.

Just then, a light suddenly appeared inside the crystal ball. It seemed that the scholar inside had lit a candle.

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_book_bar!

A tiny rainbow appeared in the candlelight, and then Roland noticed the compass in his hand suddenly move.

Contamination Level: 367

Roland's mind was shaken, and he shouted into the doorway, "Put out the light!"

The scholar quickly extinguished the candle.

Contamination Level: 7

Roland stared blankly at the pointer on the compass for a long time. Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck his mind.

"I understand. I understand!"

"Hahahaha! I understand!"

"It's not a virus at all! Because this isn't a plague!"

"And there's no Crystal Princess at all! Because it's not the crystals in the flesh that make people sick!"

"It's the rainbow!"

"There's no such thing as Crystal Princess Disease… it's Rainbow Princess Disease!"

"The rainbow is the only way it spreads!"

"So Rainbow Disease fears the dark!"

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this.

Even Amber was stunned.

Amber cried out, "Teacher, don't talk nonsense, you'll be arrested as a madman!"

Many scholars nodded in agreement, secretly thinking, 'Special Envoy, it's hard for us to explain things if you act like this.'

Roland glanced at the scholars and said coldly, "I am the Special Envoy. My words are the White Queen's decree! You don't need to know the logic. Just do what I say! Anyone who opposes me is a heretic!"

The scholars: "."

Roland said, "Cover all the rooms. There must not be a single ray of light."

The scholars could only give the order and follow Roland's arrangements.

Roland's heart was as chaotic as the scholars'.

This was not a plague.

What was happening here was a mystery that could not be explained by science, or even logic!

Roland then looked at Amber and asked, "What is that biscuit for? Why are mild patients cured after eating it?"

Amber hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Grandpa said that Crystal Princesses don't eat sour things."

Everyone: "???"

Roland, with a face full of question marks, picked up the notebook and flipped through it, then slapped the back of Amber's head angrily.

"Ignoramus! Go back and study 'The Sayings of Byron' properly!"

It was written there, 'Feed sour things to patients with Crystal Princess Disease'.

Roland guessed that people with Crystal Princess Disease had no appetite. Unless the thing was particularly sour. That's why Grandpa Augustus invented that sour festival biscuit.

As for why it had to be hung around the neck… many patients were already terminally ill, and people in many places feared Crystal Princesses like tigers. They wouldn't take care of someone after they got sick.

In addition, the house was dark, so where would they find the biscuit if they put it somewhere else?

Therefore, the wild witches hung the biscuit around the patient's neck so they could eat it whenever they were hungry.

So, all this mumbo-jumbo was to get the patients to eat more, rest more, and honestly stay in the dark room to recuperate.

As long as they followed the doctor's orders and kept themselves away from the light, mild patients could slowly recover.

This great wild witch, 'Grandpa Augustus', had used both coaxing and deception to solve the Crystal Princess Disease, and had exhausted all means.

Roland saw the shadow of his father, Anthony, on this grandpa, and his heart was filled with infinite respect.

At this time, the Baron had come out. Roland asked him to put on his clothes and then led everyone back to the office.

Roland asked, "Are there any powerful wizards in the Raven Society?"

Roland was worried about his conscription order.

The Baron hurriedly replied, "Yes! There is a wizard. I sent ten people to arrest him, and he injured three of our men before we caught him!"

Roland's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Ten Grand Knights? Or High-ranking Knights?"

The Baron said, "Ten militiamen."

Roland: "."

The Baron said, "Sir, there are no High-ranking Knights in this small place. The strongest people here are me and Sir Buck. We are both one step away from being High-ranking Knights, and our strength is evenly matched."

Roland looked at the Baron and rubbed his forehead in despair. He thought there would be high-level apprentices in the Raven Society, but now it seemed that the strongest one was only a low-level apprentice.

Moreover, it seemed that the strength of the entire kingdom was weak. All the knights combined were not necessarily as strong as the knights of Valeria's small territory.

The Baron continued, "However, my court wizard, Lord Elvis, is a Great Magician. The White Chess adults gave him the recipe for the Crystal Disease cure potion before, and our potions are made by him and his students. It's just that the herbs have been getting scarcer recently."

Roland's eyes lit up slightly. This Great Magician should be a genuine high-level apprentice.

If he could really control the epidemic here, maybe he could discuss with the king to poach Lord Elvis!

Roland's mood brightened, and he asked the Baron to call all his scholars and those in charge.

There were less than ten in total. Roland took out a bottle of potion, had everyone dilute it with water into a small bucket, and had each person drink a large bowl.

Then he revised the Raven Society's Plague Control Manual. He also changed the content about corpse disposal.

If there was light near an infected body, a 'rainbow' would appear to infect others. Therefore, corpses must not be burned.

But the corpses must not be left in the house to rot, otherwise it would lead to other plagues.

He wrote a plan used by Black Abyss wizards to deal with large numbers of corpses on the battlefield. It relied on a mixture of several simple herbal remedies and common secular materials to bury the corpses.

This method would not cause a plague. The corpses would also decompose quickly, return to nature, return to the embrace of the goddess Helaca, and go to the River Styx for reincarnation.

After that, he handed the manual to the Baron and told them to strictly follow the contents above.

Everyone glanced at the manual, and then their eyes went dark.

The previous manual was crazy enough, but this one was even crazier!

However, the Baron still arranged for it to be carried out.

They had no way to deal with this wizard, fearing that Roland would suddenly go crazy and destroy him if he was unhappy.

Anyway, the other wizards of the White Chess Council were coming soon, and there were real supervisors among them. When this guy's superiors arrived, they would see how he could still be crazy.
