I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

This early in the morning, the neighbors were clanging and banging, as if someone with a bellyful of fire was preparing breakfast in the living room.

“What’s going on? So early?”

Catherine rubbed her eyes and looked towards the curtain separating the bedroom from the living room.

Her mind cleared slightly, and then she faintly sensed something was wrong.

She raised her head, looked at Roland, who was hugging her and snoring loudly, and then stared blankly at the curtain three meters away from the bed.

Roland was holding her while sleeping, so who was making breakfast?

Catherine felt her scalp tingle, her heart pounding wildly, almost scaring her to death.

No, no, it can't be. It must be the ghosts making breakfast, it definitely isn't Ying Tao!

She cautiously sensed the person over there, then her eyes went dark, and she almost fainted.

In a panic, she pinched Roland hard, waking him up.

The two whispered to each other for a while, then rustled and put on their clothes.

After Roland got dressed, he carefully flew up into the large curtain above.

Then, he detoured through the ghost area and came to the back of the large curtain on the other side of the living room, entering the living room from there.

Two ghost nuns were carefully cleaning the room in the shadows of the living room. Miss Ying Tao was serving the last plate of breakfast. Afterwards, she didn't wait for anyone to eat, but sat down alone, tearing at the bread and starting to eat.

Roland stretched lazily, pretending to be casual, and walked over. As a result, as he stretched, he felt a twinge of soreness in the muscles of his waist and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch, my waist... cough, alas, the floor of the observatory is still a bit hard... cough, Master Ying Tao, did you rest well last night?”

Ying Tao raised her head, revealing two dark circles under her eyes. Her eyes were full of bloodshot veins. It seemed she hadn't slept well all night.

She said fiercely, “Don't try to cozy up to me, eat! So much food, can't it fill your mouth?”

How could Roland dare to fart?

Anyone could guess what Ying Tao was thinking—Ha, you dog couple, drugged me and then rolled around in bed over there. I was wondering why the fireplace suddenly broke? Catherine must have done it!

—No wonder you had to bring me here. You're using me as a cover, aren't you?

—You keep saying it's a superior-subordinate relationship, but you dragged me over to cover for you and even drugged me, are you even human?!

—You had so much fun last night, are you happy now? I'm not happy! I'm working overtime every day, I can't even go home, and I'm being forced to eat your dog food!

It's no wonder Miss Ying Tao was full of resentment. A few days ago, she applied for a day off, but it was rejected.

Her husband issued a task, applying for her to go on a business trip, but it was also rejected.

The person who rejected her application was none other than her direct superior, Catherine.

The reason? To inspect the seal in Straw Town.

Before long, Catherine, who had put on her clothes, walked over through the curtain on the bedroom side.

She was even more guilty than Roland. As her best friend, she had been hiding the affair between her and Roland from Ying Tao, even though she would definitely have forgotten it by now if she had told her before. But as her best friend, she really felt bad.

Moreover, Ying Tao was, strictly speaking, someone sent by the White Queen. If the tutor found out about her and Roland's ridiculous affairs...

Although Ying Tao would definitely help her best friend keep it a secret, even the best of friends can't be careless when it comes to important matters.

Catherine had been careless quite a bit lately.

She looked at Sister Ying Tao, flashed a cautious smile, and started a conversation.

Ying Tao didn't say anything. After she finished breakfast, she sat there with her legs crossed, picking her teeth. Her movements were devoid of her usual elegance, looking like a female gangster who had caught someone's handle and was waiting for them to do something about it.

“Cough.” Catherine coughed and said to Roland, “Roland, how is the situation in the Amir Kingdom recently? I heard they need wizards stationed there?”

Although Roland didn't know what Catherine meant, he understood her perfectly. He lied without batting an eye, “Yes, Your Excellency. This matter may be related to the Twilight Council, and the Rainbow Disease cannot be confirmed to be completely resolved.”

“Although there are no signs that the Rainbow Disease will recur, we should be even more cautious during this period… If the spies of the Twilight Council over there are not all rooted out, the Rainbow Disease will definitely reappear. And Alfonso and a group of apprentices will definitely not be able to preside over such a matter.”

Catherine nodded and said, “It seems we need a White Chess School wizard who is skilled in intelligence work and also has some knowledge of the occult.”

With a snap, Ying Tao slammed the table hard, “You two are going too far! You won’t give me a vacation, and you still want me to help deal with the mess over there!”

Catherine said, “Sister Ying Tao, the 'spies' in the Amir Kingdom are deeply entrenched, and there are so many people from various schools behind them. How can you, a small first-tier intermediate wizard, handle such a big matter?

“This matter requires a tower master to preside over it from behind… I think your husband, 'His Excellency Anqiluo,' is a very suitable candidate.”

“If he is to preside over the affairs of the Amir Kingdom, then you, as his deputy, will need to go back to report to him from time to time.”

“Although His Excellency Anqiluo is my cousin, and I have some small conflicts with him, he is your husband. I am willing to trust him, and I am willing to share the benefits with him.”

Catherine had always intended to rectify the wizard descendants in the Amir Kingdom. Judging from the news Alfonso had recently brought back, those 'gentry' usually did whatever they wanted, simply a bunch of scumbags.

At the same time, they controlled 80% of the kingdom's wealth, sucking the blood of the people, but they did not take on the responsibility of defending the territory at all.

Moreover, there might really be spies inside. If they could follow the clues, they might really be able to catch some big fish.

The current situation was becoming more and more chaotic. The White Chess School needed to be internally rectified, otherwise the forbidden area incident would be repeated. Publicly and privately, this group of people had to be thoroughly cleaned up.

However, the forces behind those wizard descendants in the Amir Kingdom were deeply intertwined, and she didn't have much energy to pay attention to it. His Excellency Anqiluo was undoubtedly an excellent choice.

He had a very high status in the White Chess School, and he was stubborn.

As long as the evidence was handed over to him, no matter who was behind that person, he would definitely dismiss them completely, without any leniency.

The only thing that bothered Catherine a little was that this guy was a bookworm. However, Ying Tao could handle him.

After listening to Catherine's words, Ying Tao's eyes slowly lit up.

Catherine was indeed making her do hard work, and this hard work was even more tiring than Ying Tao had expected—she had to make her husband work hard, 'subdue' him.

But in this matter, she was not a worker. But a partner of Catherine, the big boss.

In addition to sharing the cake with Ying Tao, Catherine also seemed to hope to use this matter to slowly win over Ying Tao's husband, slowly changing from 'there are some conflicts, but because of Ying Tao's relationship, the conflicts can be reconciled' to 'a community of interests'.

By taking care of Ying Tao, she also took care of her husband, and also took care of the affairs of the Amir Kingdom.

Killing three birds with one stone.

Ying Tao gritted her teeth and looked at Catherine, and said, “You really have a lot of tricks. Don't worry, there will be no problem with Anqiluo. As long as you give me a few days off, that bookworm will honestly listen to you to divide the cake, and then work hard for you.”

Catherine's eyes lit up.

She was too relieved of His Excellency Anqiluo. As Ying Tao said, that guy was just a rigid bookworm. He was very upright.

Therefore, he would never protect those bad guys who were caught out of the Amir Kingdom.

If he was to preside over the affairs of the Amir Kingdom, the Amir Kingdom would definitely move towards a bright future.

However, this bookworm's moral bottom line was too high, and it was difficult to talk to him about interests. So after he finished the matter, the result might be that everyone couldn't get a penny, and all of it would benefit their adoptive mother, the White Queen, and eventually do good deeds.

However, although this bookworm did things in a methodical manner, Ying Tao could always make him confused, saying some confused words to this fox spirit like, 'Oh, okay, Ying Tao sister, what you said is indeed very reasonable.'

In this way, 'Mr. Anqiluo Bookworm' would be confused on some matters, and then Ying Tao, as his deputy, would deceive those above and below, and the matter would be done.

Ying Tao and Catherine started chatting there.

Roland had been eavesdropping beside him, and he thought to himself: 'I always hear Helena say that Ying Tao is her aunt. So, Master Anqiluo is Helena's uncle.'

No wonder Miss Ying Tao is usually so domineering. Her husband is probably not just a tower master. He is probably a direct descendant of the White Queen.'

After finishing breakfast, the two had almost finished talking about this matter.

That charming smile appeared on Miss Ying Tao's face again, but when she looked at Roland, the smile on her face disappeared again.

She really couldn't understand how this strange brat got into bed with her female boss.

Last night, she kept calling him master.

Okay, he is indeed very qualified in being a gigolo. But look at the things he has caused.

Judging from what she overheard yesterday, it seemed that this guy had caused a big trouble in Straw Town on his first day here!

He is too capable of causing trouble!

Catherine will be killed by this guy sooner or later!

What's even more ridiculous is that after she just suggested 'Let us help you clean up the mess', this kid actually refused, as if he could handle it himself.

Regarding Roland's ignorant attitude, Miss Yingtao sneered and ignored him.

Yingtao currently has no memory of Roland and doesn't know that the piece of cake she now has from the Kingdom of Amir was given to 'Miss Catherine the Maid' by Roland.

She doesn't know that among the things Roland has done, the troubles in Straw Town are nothing.

Nor does she know that he indeed has a plan.

After chatting with Catherine last night, Roland indeed had a plan in mind.

This plan is to let the straw in Straw Town cause even more trouble.

After he finishes his seclusion and advances, he will clean them up. He'll let them know who the real living Yama is here!

By then, the big thunder of Straw Town can be completely eradicated, and the surrounding people can live in peace in the future.

Catherine originally came this time intending to help Roland go to Straw Town and settle things there.

But Roland needs to advance while 'lacking a name.' He has his own plans and doesn't need anyone else to interfere. Therefore, after they finished eating, they didn't mention Straw Town again.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Roland entrusted Miss Yingtao with something.

He said, "Miss Yingtao, the White Chess School seems to have given me some rewards. Besides two curios, there should also be more than 300 White Chess School credits. Please help me exchange them for a few meditation potion recipes."

Roland saw these rewards in the documents from Yingtao. Some were rewards for the Forbidden Land incident, and some were rewards for the Rainbow Disease incident.

The latter accounted for the majority.

In fact, if Roland hadn't taken the large amber gem, the rewards would have been even higher.

The reward was actually a large sum of benefits that the White Chess Academy gave to the Black Abyss School, as a transfer fee. Then, the Black Abyss Snake Tower distributed the relevant rewards to Roland according to his merits.

Upon hearing the words '300 credits,' Yingtao almost laughed out loud. She said, "More than three hundred credits? Brat, did you eat too many magic potions last night and are still dreaming?"

Yingtao would never believe that the little advanced apprentice in front of her could accumulate three hundred credits. Because he is too young.

Even professors and Snake Tower wizards like herself, how many points could they earn by participating in an experimental project?

Occasionally, a shocking 'subversive and pioneering' paper would appear in the major towers, worth just over a hundred points.

300 credits would mean publishing three such papers, or containing three 'Shepherd Trees,' a national-level mystery.

For this kid to say he has a reward of three hundred points, isn't he daydreaming?

Faced with Miss Yingtao's sarcasm, Roland couldn't say that he had rummaged through Yingtao's storage bag. He could only awkwardly say, "Miss Yingtao, I received letters from the Snake Tower these past few days. There should be some letters of notification or documents in the Snake Tower. Please go back and ask a Snake Tower wizard to ask about it. They must have relevant documents on hand."

Yingtao rolled her eyes and said, "I am a Snake Tower wizard, and I am also Master Usak's secretary! All the Snake Tower's documents pass through my hands. How could I not have seen a document with the name 'Roland' on it?"

Catherine couldn't help but say softly, "Yingtao, why don't you look through your documents?"

Yingtao gave Catherine a look—you're just biased towards this pretty boy! You believe whatever nonsense he says!

She took out a stack of documents and looked through them again, saying, "No!"

After speaking, she put away the documents and was about to leave. Roland hurriedly stepped in front of her, took out a document she had just looked at from her hand, and said, "Viscount Yingtao, look at how the name written on this is pronounced?"

Yingtao reluctantly read, "It's called Roland—I have a bit of an impression of this person. I came here this time to find him by the way."

Speaking of which, although she didn't have much of an impression of this Viscount named Roland, this little advanced apprentice was not simple.

He took three hundred points in a short period of time!

One was the groundbreaking and subversive 'Rainbow Disease Experiment,' which earned more than one hundred points.

One was containing the Kingdom of Amir's 'Rainbow,' which earned more than one hundred points.

Another was making a significant contribution in the Forbidden Land, turning the tide, which earned more than one hundred points.

In addition to these newly reviewed three hundred points, there were also two curios. In addition, the council also exceptionally approved his application for a title and fief, and now he has become the 'Panic Viscount' of Straw Town.

Very impressive!

Hmm... This person seems to be my little junior brother.

I wonder if there will be an opportunity to meet my little junior brother. Your senior sister is very interested in you.

Roland nodded and said, "Miss Yingtao. Do you know what my name is?"

Yingtao rolled her eyes. Her best friend and roommate had been shouting it next door all night, so of course she knew.

She said, "Roland."

Roland asked again, "Where is this?"

Yingtao impatiently said, "Of course it's Straw Town! I came here to find that Roland by the way and give him the things!"

Roland finally asked, "Okay, Miss Yingtao, how many people did Black Abyss send to Straw Town this time in total?"

Yingtao said, "Of course, only one person was sent!"

Others may not know, but how could she not know? She is Master Usak's secretary.

Roland couldn't help but say, "Viscount Yingtao, I am the only 'Roland' sent by the school, and the only person sent by the academy is also called 'Roland.' So, how many people did the academy send in total?"

Yingtao said, "One."

Roland pointed to his nose: "Who am I?"

Yingtao said, "Roland of Straw Town."

Roland pointed to the document again: "Who is the person you are looking for?"

Yingtao said, "Roland of Straw Town."

Suddenly, Yingtao nodded and said, "I understand what you want to say. You want to say that you, Roland of Straw Town, are the Roland of Straw Town, right?"

Roland nodded repeatedly: "That's right, big sister! I am Baron Roland! I'm the only Roland in Straw Town!"

Yingtao nodded deeply, put away the documents, and then took out three bottles of magic potion specifically for treating mental illness and handed them to Roland.

"This is three weeks' worth. Check the dilution ratio yourself—take good care of yourself, you mental patient."

Roland wasn't feeling too great, he grabbed his hair, wondering if he was crazy.

At this time, Catherine grabbed Yingtao: "Sister Yingtao, Roland is Roland!"

Suddenly, Yingtao's body swayed. She stood there stunned for a long time, took out the documents again, looked at them repeatedly, and then her expression became very interesting.

At this moment, a big hand suddenly stuffed the three bottles of magic potion specifically for treating mental illness into Yingtao's arms.

Yingtao looked blankly at the three bottles of mental illness treatment potion, and then looked at the documents and Roland in front of her.

Suddenly, Yingtao seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and her body swayed again, subconsciously taking two steps back.

"I, I have a mental illness?"

Roland gave his senior sister a thumbs up. He pointed to the three bottles of magic potion in Yingtao's hand and said, "Take it regularly. If you think it's bitter, you can add some honey."

Yingtao nodded blankly.

Catherine slapped Roland's arm angrily and pulled her plastic best friend Yingtao away: "I'll talk to you when we get back."

She pulled Yingtao to the fireplace. Then, she waved her hand, and the broken fireplace that Roland had been fixing all night was repaired.

Roland, who was not far away, was stunned for a long time when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but give Catherine a look—you came over last night for the mugwort, didn't you!

Catherine saw what he meant from Roland's eyes, her face turned red, and she said, gritting her teeth: "Stay here and don't cause trouble! Otherwise, I'll make you look good!"

The fire in the fireplace flashed, and Roland's tower was quiet again.
