I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Fuck! Leeches. How are there leeches everywhere?!

Roland said, "Well, Miss Delia, the Countess certainly has some unique taste in art."

Delia shook her head and said, "No, no, no, esteemed Lord Roland, art is universal. I believe that anyone with a normal sense of aesthetics will feel the same way after seeing your work and those fleeting glimpses of brilliance."

Roland covered his face: "Please, Miss Delia, please change the subject."

Delia was slightly stunned, and suddenly she realized something, and said with a strange expression: "Lord Roland, don't you even realize how amazing those paintings, studios, carving rooms, and works in the parchment are?

Although they are all in the corners of the video and are not easily noticed, they are like flashes of lightning in the dark night, giving the dim art world light!"

Roland raised his head with a black question mark on his face: "Really?"

Seeming to see that Roland didn't quite believe it, Delia smiled and said, "My mother often copies your works. In her studio, there are many of your paintings and sculptures. You have a unique understanding of the goddess Heraka that no one in this world can match!"

Fuck!

Fuck!

I actually have fans?!

The Countess is simply a talent scout!

At this moment, Roland and the two heard a light cough from the side.

Roderick smiled and said, "Delia, my mother does like Lord Roland's work very much. You can take the Lord to my mother's studio to observe later. Be quiet for a while first."

It seemed that the two of them were speaking a little too loudly just now. They sat up straight awkwardly.

Roderick continued to say to Catherine: "Your Excellency, I thought you were still stuck in 'Araka Prison'. Now that I see it, I believe what you said before."

After a pause, Roderick nodded deeply and said: "I thought so, how could Lord Usak betray Twilight? Only he can accept the 'Medusa people' and subdue Lilith.

Only with Lilith's help can you come out of the Demon Prison without anyone noticing.

Only with the help of the Medusa people will people turn a blind eye to you."

Catherine said: "Crab Eye Pagoda was also deceived by us. Amos and the others helped me hide my whereabouts from the White Queen. Amos sisters and Usak helped a lot for me to leave Araka Prison temporarily."

Roderick suddenly said: "Then, after you go back this time, just bring the prisoner seeds back to Araka Prison, and the matter will be completed.

But according to our previous assessment, although Araka Prison is an excellent place, if you want the 'Brown Rot Lord' to descend to Araka with the one hundred and sixty-nine Black Abyss Wizards, you need at least thirty prisoner seeds."

As he said that, Roderick looked at Catherine, then at Roland, his eyes seemed to be saying, 'Can you bring thirty prisoner seeds?'

Catherine said: "Ten is enough, I have the flesh and blood of the Brown Rot Lord in my hand."

Roderick's eyes moved slightly: "This trip to Brown Rot Fernwood was not in vain after all. This time, there is no 'Hidden Monastery' to stop us.

The Brown Rot Lord was weakened too much during the last descent. Such flesh and blood can assist in summoning Him, but it is not enough for the Thousand-Eyed King to enjoy.

This has caused our Black Abyss lineage to suffer heavy losses. However, as long as the abyss reconnects to this world, our people (Black Abyss Wizards) will all be able to return!"

Speaking of this, there was a bit more eagerness in Roderick's smile.

He seemed to be trying his best to appear neither humble nor arrogant, but no matter how he listened, his tone was a bit ingratiating.

"Your Highness, when your people come back, please take care of the Bloodless lineage."

Catherine sneered: "I know what you group of traitors are thinking. The Earl is thinking about something, you are not qualified to test me here."

After a pause, Catherine asked: "How is my father doing? I have never dared to contact him since we killed his clone ten years ago and offered it to my mentor as a certificate of allegiance."

Roderick smiled and said: "The esteemed Thousand-Eyed King just fell asleep again a few days ago. But before he fell asleep, he had already prepared everything.

The 'Fernwood samples' you sent back last time contain the true blood of the Brown Rot Lord. Based on them, the Thousand-Eyed King specially made three small gifts for the Brown Rot Lord. Heh heh heh.

As long as the Brown Rot Lord projects over, we will definitely be able to dig out a few of His eyes!"

Catherine said sadly: "That's good, I hope my father gets rid of the shackles as soon as possible. Truly enter the fifth level."

Roderick smiled cautiously: "Your Highness, His Majesty will also enter the fifth level sooner or later. You are more talented than your elder sister 'Alexandra the Witch' back then. The Bloodless lineage will definitely fully assist your plan."

Next, the two talked about other things.

From some fragments of information, we can analyze some things like this:

When the Thousand-Eyed King was still in human form, he had many children. The eldest daughter was Alexandra the Witch, and the second son was 'Igg'.

The eldest daughter betrayed him first, giving him a fierce backstab.

Immediately afterwards, the youngest son also betrayed him, and pulled out a large group of brothers and sisters from Twilight - that is the current Alexandra.

Now, the Thousand-Eyed King has become a strange and weird appearance, but he has created many human-shaped clones.

These clones are hidden in many schools in various identities. The previous head of the Alexandra family was a clone of the Thousand-Eyed King, but no one knew it.

Even the Black Abyss Wizards were unaware.

Decades ago, he led the Black Abyss lineage to betray the Twilight Council and defected to the White Chess Council.

More than ten years ago, his good daughter awakened the memories of her previous life, and then slowly discovered that her biological father in this life was still the Thousand-Eyed King.

She secretly gathered a group of people and planned for the Black Abyss Wizards to kill this clone.

Afterwards, the Black Abyss Wizards revealed the identity of this clone to the White Queen. Since then, the Black Abyss lineage has completely rebelled.

Now, Catherine claims that her killing of her father was her father's plan. And she took out the big piece of fat that is the 'Brown Rot Lord'.

So, the filial daughter Catherine has become her father's good daughter again.

It sounds like the Thousand-Eyed King used the power of the abyss to connect with those who fell into the abyss in suffering.

As long as Catherine opens the gate of the abyss in Araka Prison, there will be a way to pull these people back.

The Brown Rot Lord will definitely run back with them.

At that time, the Thousand-Eyed King will join forces with everyone to dig out one of His eyes.

Since then, the Thousand-Eyed King will be able to see the fifth gate of truth and explore this path of truth.

After Roland digested this information, he was stunned for a long time.

Seven years ago, he suddenly lost contact with his senior sister. Perhaps she really went to Araka Prison.

As for whether she sent herself to Araka specifically for the Twilight Council, or went to Araka to retreat for the White Chess Council's plan, it is unknown.

So, which side is Senior Sister on?

Which side are we Black Abyss on?

Senior Sister likes to be a riddle person, and she is full of wicked tastes, so you can't get the truth from her.

Roland believes that there are only a few answers:

A: Acting. Everything is a script written by the 'White Chess Scam Group'!

And Catherine is the heroine who comes on stage to sing in the script!

Baron Hall pulled Catherine into the Brown Rot Fernwood incident. It was not the Thousand-Eyed King's plan.

The Black Abyss Wizards went to Brown Rot Fernwood to study the evil god, not to be loyal to the Thousand-Eyed King.

So, the death of the Thousand-Eyed King's clone back then was not because of the Thousand-Eyed King's plan, but because Catherine was too filial.

The filial daughter Catherine, united with her loyal followers, killed the Thousand-Eyed King, just to completely get rid of her father's control.

And from the 'Funeral of Heraka Church' incident, it can be seen how much she hates Twilight.

So, it is absolutely impossible for her to jump back to Twilight.

Therefore, this drama queen is acting!

She can act very well!

And it seems that she has deceived her father again with the Brown Rot Lord as bait.

This is a conspiracy, the Thousand-Eyed King has to eat this bait.

In this A option, the only purpose that the 'White Chess Scam Group' wants to achieve is to obtain the path of truth of Bloodless and the path of truth of Heraka, and weaken the Twilight Council.

Nothing can compare with the value of the Path of Truth!

Of course, in addition to option A, Catherine also has option B.

And in this B option, Catherine is considering turning a false play into a real one.

As long as she betrays the White Chess Council, the suffering Black Abyss Wizards will all be able to return!

The Thousand-Eyed King will not hold any grudges. After all, his good daughter gave such a great gift.

A clone is nothing, what is more important than the true path to the fifth gate?

What is more important than Catherine's and the entire Black Abyss lineage's re-loyalty?

His daughter and the Black Abyss Wizards will help him explore a new path and help him ascend!

And as a transaction, everything after the Thousand-Eyed King's ascension will be left to his 'crown prince' - Catherine.

The continent will fall into chaos with the awakening of the Thousand-Eyed King, and chaos is the ladder!

Catherine will soar upwards like in her previous life.

The return is too great.

Roland transmitted a thought: ["Which side are we on?"]

Catherine responded: ["Heh heh, Roland, the word you used is not appropriate - you should ask, which side am I on, instead of asking which side we are on.

I advised you not to follow.

But you insisted on coming, so don't blame me.

Now you know too much.

Heh heh heh (gnashing teeth), once I have you, holding the perfectly contained Prisoner Seed, I will take you back to Alarak Prison and sacrifice you to the Brownish Lord!”

Roland rolled his eyes.

As expected.

I won't get a real answer from this stinky woman.

Senior Sister is clearly trying to scare Roland. She hates Roland to death right now.

So what she said is naturally not the truth.

As for which A or B she wants to choose... she's probably struggling with it herself.

Choosing A is being true to her heart.

But as long as she chooses B and betrays her conscience, she can get a great reward!

Of course, she may also choose a C—conscience and reward, she wants it all.

Roland could see that Senior Sister was very unwilling to cooperate with her father, the Thousand-Eyed King.

He couldn't guess the reason, but the reason was definitely not as simple as profit and life and death.

Whether Senior Sister chooses A, B, or C, it will not affect Roland's affairs.

For him, no matter what the answer is, his purpose in coming here this time is only one—to chop down the tree.

Chopping down the tree will have some impact on Senior Sister's plan. If Roland drags Senior Sister into the water while chopping down the tree, Senior Sister will be in a mess.

And Senior Sister knows Roland too well. She knows that no matter what she says to Roland, this guy will be thinking about chopping down the tree! Thinking about courting death!

So she simply didn't give an answer and threatened Roland.

Roland will not be scared away, he is determined to cut down this tree.

After a while, Senior Sister sent another telepathic message: [“This time, give me a break. Although what you do will not affect my overall situation, I don’t want to be dragged down by you!”]

Roland responded: [“How could it be? I'm just collecting a few Prisoner Seeds.”]

Catherine didn't believe his nonsense.

Sure enough, not long after, she heard Roland's devilish temptation again: [“Senior Sister, are you really not considering helping me collect the mystery here?

The Twilight Council is too strong, and if the two paths of Herrakar and the Bleeding Dry are taken by us in the Black Abyss, then the East Territory will be in a three-legged stand in less than a hundred years.”]

Senior Sister did not give any response, and seemed to be caught in a deep struggle.

After a while, she gave a piece of information: [“Countess Wendy Shaber is related to the mystery here. She has a big secret. If she invites you, you can go and see. When you get that secret, we'll talk.”]

Roland's eyes moved slightly.

It seems that Countess Wendy Shaber is the breakthrough point for whether he can 'dig up the fruit tree'.

Soon, Roland heard the sound of heavy rain pattering on the roof and outside the window.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

Everyone got out of the car with black umbrellas.

In front of them was a stone bridge, and a huge and gloomy castle stood behind the stone bridge.

The castle was covered with red vines, and it had a sense of dilapidation and decay.

Rumble rumble

A thunderbolt flashed, illuminating the surroundings.

Vaguely, Roland saw a strange shadow crawling over the walls of the castle and drilling into a window.

Roland: “?”

Catherine pointed to the window and said, “That's Countess Wendy Shaber's room. If you have the guts, go ahead.”

Roland: “? ? ”

The coachman turned around and left. Roland wanted to hold an umbrella for Catherine, but Senior Sister ignored him and squeezed under Elena's large umbrella.

The five people went on the bridge. It was two kilometers from the bridge to the castle.

Roland asked Delia strangely: “Why doesn’t the carriage drive directly to the castle?”

It was raining a bit hard, and there was a lot of noise hitting the stone bridge. Perhaps to make it easier to talk, Delia ran out from under her brother's umbrella and squeezed into Roland's large umbrella.

She patted the rain on her body, smiled, and looked up at the tall gentleman and said, “I don’t know, this is an ancestral teaching. You must walk after entering the stone bridge, otherwise you will cough—go a little to the right, try to go in the middle. We have a lot of strange ancestral teachings here.”

Rumble rumble

A thunderbolt flashed, illuminating the surroundings.

In this light, Roland's pupils suddenly shrank.

He suddenly discovered that three meters outside on the left and three meters outside on the right were red tree roots. No, those were not branches, those were wriggling blood vessels!

From the stone bridge to the castle, it was covered with red blood vessels!

Only the path in the middle was clean.

The light disappeared, and Roland widened his eyes and carefully saw the blood vessels.

They had always been there, but it was too dark before, so Roland didn't see them clearly and mistook them for red vines.

They crawled on the grass and on the edge of the stone bridge.

The entire castle in the distance was not covered with vines, but with dense blood vessels!

“Why are there so many blood vessels? Is this some kind of curse?”

Roland looked at Delia next to him in surprise.

Delia blinked and said, “What blood vessels?”

Roland: “?”

At this moment, he suddenly saw a small blood vessel spreading to Roland's feet not far away.

As long as he landed, he would step on it.

Roland hurriedly retracted his foot and wanted to walk to the other side, but the blood vessel moved with Roland. He had to step on it.

With a snap, Delia stepped on the blood vessel and crushed it. Then, many small blood vessels grew all over her body.

Those small blood vessels were attached to her skin, swaying like small branches...wait, what blood vessels are those!

Those are leeches!

They are leeches that are full of blood and have turned bright red!

“Cough cough cough.” Delia covered her chest and coughed a few times, coughing up a large pile of leeches.

Seeming to find that Roland was looking at her with dull eyes, Delia smiled and said, “It’s okay, it’s a minor problem. I may have been in the sun too much today.”

Roland: “? ? ?”
