I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

This was a very dark basement, filled with bottles and jars containing various corpses. In one large jar was a human skeleton resembling a 'withered tree,' with three spines.

These corpses seemed to come from a swamp.

The Little Rolands never left Straw Town and it was unknown how they obtained these corpses from the swamp.

Inside the basement, a withered Corpse-Witch Little Roland was frantically performing surgery on a corpse on the operating table.

Suddenly, the Corpse-Witch Roland noticed a formal wizard standing beside him. It seemed this person had been watching for a long time, but he hadn't noticed.

The Corpse-Witch Roland wasn't alarmed upon seeing him, but instead smiled smugly: "Take a look, what do you think of our new body?"

The formal wizard who had been observing was indeed Roland.

Roland's expression was very strange as he looked at the corpse and said, "Is that a dog's genitals? You're transplanting a dog's genitals onto this corpse? You plan to use this corpse?!"

The Corpse-Witch Roland cackled grotesquely: "This isn't just any dog, I specially searched for three months. You know how much Senior Sister wants to kill us now... at least castrate us. But it doesn't matter, we can attach things now! And attach something even better! I guarantee she won't be angry after using it!"

Roland's vision almost went black upon hearing this. A look of ferocity appeared on his face as he cast a spell, turning the corpse on the operating table into a lump of honey.

The Corpse-Witch Roland's face immediately turned ashen: "Are you sick! It wasn't easy to find! It's not just big, it's also curved! Curved! Do you know how hard it is to find this kind of dog?!"

Roland was about to be angered to death, and he didn't waste any words with the Corpse-Witch Roland. With a thought, ropes appeared on the Corpse-Witch Roland's body, binding him tightly.

He practiced some magic on the Corpse-Witch Roland for a while, then touched him, turning him into a coral wood carving, and then smashed it into pieces to be delivered.

【You have synchronized with another self!】

【Necromancy level +1】

【Current: Necromancy. Advanced】

After killing the Corpse-Witch Roland, Roland recalled his memories, and his expression gradually became extremely unsightly.

He searched the house and found a pile of crystal balls.

These crystal balls contained recordings of many strange things. According to the memories, only one-third of them were stored here.

The other two-thirds had already been mailed out by the perverted Corpse-Witch Roland using magic mailboxes.

And they were mailed to many people.

Roland felt terrible all over.

"You bunch of perverts! Lunatics!"

Roland hated this in his heart. Based on the Little Rolands' memories, he began searching for those 'perverted Little Rolands'.

Next, Roland wandered around, and after catching someone, he didn't rush to kill them. Instead, he practiced some magic and played around before killing them.

Before long, he teleported to a very large house. There was only one person in the room, but he inexplicably sensed danger.

Before he could react, more than twenty Forbidden Transformation spells shot over. At the same time, many sealing arrays in the town lit up.

It turned out that after he killed the first Little Roland, everyone discovered him. But everyone pretended not to know and sent out several groups of people to ambush in the rooms that Roland might go to—he would definitely go to find the perverted Little Rolands!

After setting up the ambush, everyone twisted their cognition in advance and prepared to guide the Forbidden Transformation spell.

Therefore, as soon as Roland appeared, everyone used the Forbidden Transformation spell on him with zero frames of startup. And the people outside, feeling the magic fluctuations here, also activated the sealing array of the entire town.

However, after these twenty-odd Forbidden Transformation spells hit him, he didn't turn into a scarecrow.

Someone suddenly realized the problem and shouted:

"This damn thing has developed a new trick again! Part of his spirit and Leona have jointly possessed the clone! We were just thinking 'Leona is a scarecrow', but this isn't Leona, it's Leona and Roland! The target anchored by the Forbidden Transformation spell is wrong, so it didn't successfully twist him!"

When Roland uses the Forbidden Transformation spell, if he is holding a wine glass but thinking 'this basin is the Holy Grail', then the wine glass in his hand will definitely not turn into the Holy Grail.

Roland used this trick.

Roland laughed loudly: "Too late!"

—"Run!"

Roland cleaned up a few people, and the others escaped through the windows. He chased after them.

When he flew into the air, he found that Straw Town was silent, without any sound.

He looked into the distance and found a figure in another direction, fighting with a group of Little Rolands.

The number of Little Rolands was much smaller than before, sparsely distributed in the air. And that figure was Roland's main body.

He held a Thunderfire Magic Blade, with five or six strange objects flying around him, including a 'small accordion'. That accordion was the treasure that the Nightshade Family gave to Red Skull Aurelia, which could silence a wide area!

Back then, when Aurelia used this accordion, she could silence a space the size of a courtyard. Now that Roland has advanced to a formal wizard, his magic power is beyond what a high-level apprentice can compare to, and he has unleashed the true power of the accordion, silencing most of the town!

The Little Rolands clearly had fewer strange objects than him. It seemed that those strange objects that had been turned into wood carvings had not been 'mirrored'.

Therefore, the main body's magic power was not imprisoned and he could use magic at will.

The main body was actually multitasking, simultaneously wielding a sword to fight, releasing magic, and manipulating multiple strange objects to fight with the Little Rolands.

He didn't seem to be able to teleport like the clone, but he would turn into lightning for a while, and disappear in place with a silver pocket watch for a while, traversing through the crowd like a butterfly. Everyone was unable to use magic and could only fight him with strange objects and swordsmanship, but they couldn't do anything to him.

His magic and swordsmanship seemed to have been honed to an extremely high level, and he could easily kill targets in the crowd. Before long, many Little Rolands were chopped into pieces of straw.

After those Little Rolands turned into pieces of straw, they wouldn't die directly like those turned into coral wood carvings, but they lost their ability to resist in a short period of time.

The clone Roland laughed and then disappeared on the spot. The next moment, the two Rolands gathered together, slaughtering the Little Rolands who were cursing silently.

After a moment, the clone turned into a Coral Sword and fell into Roland's hand.

Afterward, Roland seemed to suddenly understand something, and suddenly 'remembered' many things.

It seemed that his memory and the clone's memory had just completed a synchronization.

"Oh? Someone has actually taken a different approach with strange object alchemy and necromantic construction, breaking free from obsession?"

Roland nodded in realization.

At this time, he was already holding the Coral Sword, and Leona inside the sword could teleport him, making his movements an order of magnitude more agile than before.

This made him even more difficult to deal with than when the two were separated, causing the Little Rolands to complain endlessly.

Although there were more and more Little Rolands around, he kept teleporting to places with fewer people to fight, never confronting the crowd head-on. More than a dozen high-level apprentices couldn't cure him at all, and he was actually allowed to run around Straw Town, destroying seven or eight sealing arrays.

Seeing that there were still many sealing arrays that had not been destroyed, Roland didn't dare to stay any longer.

He looked back at the large group of strange objects chasing after him and his scalp went numb. He hurriedly teleported out of town and flew away as lightning.

The large group of people behind him chased him for more than thirty miles, making Roland sweat profusely. It wasn't until a large fire broke out in the town that the Little Rolands returned one after another in great confusion.

When most of the people behind him had returned, leaving only a dozen or so, Roland grinned hideously and killed his way back.

That day, after Roland returned to the tower, he began to meditate, read books, and write experimental logs about Straw Town.

And the clone was causing trouble in Straw Town with the accordion.

The books given by Mentor Ursack contained content on multitasking, which was very suitable for controlling clones.

And after Roland killed the first Little Roland, he found that he became more and more smooth when multitasking.

Now, through studying the notes of that 'Three-in-One' Twilight High Apprentice, and referring to his own insights after killing the Little Rolands, he had researched a kind of 'Separation and Combination Technique'.

In this Separation and Combination Technique, Roland and the clone were completely two independent Rolands when separated.

Or rather, a part of Roland's mind was focused on helping Leona control the clone puppet, and a part of his mind was busy with the things in front of him.

They did not affect each other.

In this state of separation, Roland and the wisp of divine sense on the clone were synchronized in thinking, but they would feel somewhat blurred in memory.

However, once he recalled the clone, he would suddenly have a feeling of 'Oh, I remember, I just did something'.

In fact, Roland often encountered this situation when he was focused on reading before.

When he stayed in the academy before, he soaked in the library to read, and after reading, he suddenly realized that the water in his cup was hot and that Helena was dozing off beside him.

Then he would suddenly remember that Helena had been chirping beside him, and he had found her annoying and asked her to fetch him a cup of hot water.

Therefore, Roland's symptoms of mental illness had already had precursors.

Perhaps the commotion Roland caused in this area was too great, and people from the Twilight Council often appeared around here.

They knew that a Black Abyss wizard was stationed here and were worried about alarming the Black Abyss School and stirring up a hornet's nest. Therefore, they were very disciplined and did not approach Roland's tower.

Roland ignored them.

However, the Little Rolands tried to help some people enter Straw Town.

None of these people returned alive.

After Roland discovered several foreign corpses in Straw Town, he accelerated the progress of clearing out the Little Rolands.

He began to frequently transform his clone into the Coral Sword, and then charged into Straw Town to eliminate a wave of Little Rolands.

During the fighting in these days, Roland cultivated various major magics to extremely high levels.

He even practiced swordsmanship to the Grandmaster level under the circumstances of the New Sword Manual. His current swordsmanship is based on Valerian swordsmanship and is self-created. It is no longer considered Valerian swordsmanship, and he doesn't even know whether to call it Flying Sword or Swordsmanship.

As the Little Rolands were continuously transformed from scarecrows into coral people by Roland, it became a difficult task for Roland to find anyone in Straw Town.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

This day.

Putting down the repaired Gray Magic Staff, Roland picked up the Arleier Handbook and checked his own status.

【Holy Seal (Passive): Dawnfire VI (26.7%)】

【Forbidden Arts: Forbidden Transformation IV (17.8%), Augus's Shadow II (56.8%)】

Looking at his own status, Roland's expression was strange for a long time.

Except for those Level 6 magics, swordsmanship, and lunacy, most of his abilities came from those 'memories in Straw Town'.

Regarding Mysticism, Roland was a little speechless.

He had understood all the Mysticism books given by his mentor. But he had completely different insights.

After returning from Straw Town yesterday, he secluded himself for many, many days and completed his own 'Straw Theory'.

He originally thought that this was a serious Mysticism paper that would allow his Mysticism to be upgraded from elementary to intermediate.

But when he opened the Book of Arleier, Mysticism had not changed at all, but instead, a 'Grandmaster-level Lunacy' had appeared.

That Grandmaster-level Architecture and Sculptor were also his gains from yesterday.

In Straw Town, there have always been several strange Little Rolands.

Among them, two Little Rolands have been obsessed with architecture and sculpture, and they stay in the church every day to study the architecture of the church and the various books in the church.

The two guys, while going crazy, did research and design, and firmly believed that they could comprehend the Great Dao and unlock the shackles of their obsessions in this way.

After retrieving this memory belonging to the 'Architect' and 'Sculptor', Roland was certain that his idea was actually correct.

But!

Isn't focusing on studying architecture also a kind of obsession?

However, they did succeed. Because the Great Roland killed them. After killing them, the obsession was gone. They became a part of Roland's memory and were no longer bound by the straw.

Currently, according to the memory, there is still one person left in Straw Town.

There are a total of 1086 people in Straw Town, and he has already killed 1085. There is one left.

But he can't find this person, no matter how he looks.

Judging from the known information, this guy likes to fish.

Fishing every day! Never at home!

This guy is the only one who can walk out of Straw Town.

These days, everyone has been fighting to the death in Straw Town, but what about this guy? He doesn't care about anything and walks out with a fishing rod.

However, he will come back every once in a while. From the last time 'he' chatted with him, he said that he would come back to die today, and he would be waiting for 'himself' in the Grand Cathedral.

At this moment, several heads suddenly emerged from the ground.

"Come up," Roland said.

Eight figures emerged from the ground, a Fourth-Order peak Banshee and seven Third-Order peak Benevolent Spirits.

It was the Red Bride and the Seven Nuns.

Originally, Roland brought back a Fourth-Order 'Swamp Banshee', thinking of soaking her in the laboratory for a few days to tattoo and record her.

As a result, the Red Bride ate her.

As punishment, Roland has not given her Soul Tears to eat recently. However, Soul Tears no longer have such a great effect on ghosts above the Fourth Order.

As for the Seven Nuns, they can be promoted at any time. But Roland plans to find a good thing to turn them from Benevolent Spirits into more powerful spiritual bodies, so Roland has been suppressing their realm and has not allowed them to be promoted.

The servants came up to rest, afraid of disturbing Roland, so they cautiously poked their heads out to see what he was doing.

For some reason, since Roland started going to Straw Town, everyone has become more and more afraid of Roland, and the way they look at Roland is also strange.

Many servants carefully passed through the hall and flew to the top. Among them, several servants brought up a breakfast.

It's stewed fish.

Roland said softly to the ghosts: "You guys tidy up, go out with me later. After we come back, let's tidy up the tower together and take away everything that can be taken away."

A nun raised a small sign with the words: Are you going to find the Prisoner Seed?

Roland was stunned, and he said: "Didn't I say that the people in Straw Town are also considered Prisoner Seeds, or fragments of Prisoner Seeds?"

Hearing this, many servants showed strange expressions, and they whispered to each other silently. The way they looked at Master Roland also became more and more strange.

Roland shook his head and ignored them. He took out the Book of the Dead and took everyone in.

He thought to himself: 'However, I also have to consider the matter of the new Prisoner Seed.'

It seems that he has been here for two or three years?

He's a little tired of staying here.

Now he doesn't know how the fighting outside is going. He doesn't know if Senior Sister has left seclusion.

Judging from the memories collected from the Little Rolands during this period, those mysterious operations that he did with the crystal ball in Straw Town not only blatantly told the world that Roland was messing around, but also repeatedly stepped on Senior Sister's inverse scale!

"Slandering my reputation for no reason!

These dog things! They are really killing me!"

Thinking of those things, Roland felt a little angry. He ate the 'stewed fish soup', and then flew out of the 'large floor-to-ceiling window', intending to vent his anger on the last 'Fisherman. Roland'.

Soon, he flew into Straw Town and walked into the Heraka Cathedral.

According to the memory, Fisherman Roland will definitely come today and will definitely be waiting for him in the church.

But Roland didn't see him here.

"Strange."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Roland's pupils suddenly shrank.

Not knowing what he thought of, he was covered in sweat.
