I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Under Catherine's full stimulation, the two quickly ended the battle.

After checking the spoils, Catherine revealed a satisfied expression, she lay limply on Roland's chest, like a docile kitten.

"So, you still kept thinking about letting Anna marry you along with me?"

Roland lay on the bed and sighed: "Firstly, I never said such a thing. Secondly, I'm completely drained now... Are you willing to let me go to the Countess now?"

Catherine's face flushed slightly, her little thoughts had been seen through.

She said: "Who do you think is more charming, Yingtao or Madam Wendy Shaw?"

Roland lay flat on the bed, touching her back and said: "It's useless to talk to me about this now, I have no distracting thoughts, I just want to have lunch."

Catherine finally felt relieved, she got out of bed and tidied up the room slightly. She threw Roland's clothes to Roland, and Roland put on his clothes.

Suddenly, her eyes moved slightly, looking behind her. She found a ballet doll in the room. A bat wood carving was also standing on the doll's shoulder.

Roland was sitting on the head of the bed, buttoning his shirt while shaking his head and pondering something with his eyes closed.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, with a hint of fatigue in his gaze.

Roland said with a strange expression: "Last night, a group of Bloodless Warlocks came overnight from various territories outside.

The laboratory's work went smoothly last night, and the Madam went back to rest before dawn. She will wake up at noon and will not go to the laboratory before nine o'clock in the evening."

Speaking of this, Roland's face was a little ugly.

Catherine said that the Countess would take two hours to discuss Heraka's mysticism with Roland.

So, what was the Madam preparing for during the remaining six or seven hours?

The reason why the Earl appeared abnormal was greatly related to Heraka's theology.

It was as if Roland saw another angle of Heraka from the church on the Twilight side.

The Earl also saw a different angle of the God from Roland's works.

From this, he burst out with new inspiration and attracted the attention of the Bloodless Baron. This led him to fall into the quagmire of the mysterious underworld, and his body had problems.

In recent years, Bloodless Fortress has also obtained the Path of Heraka. It is almost treating this path as the future of the family.

Therefore, whether it is studying the Earl or understanding the accident of this mysterious leak from the side, it is necessary to deeply understand Heraka's mysticism.

Or rather, deeply understand Roland.

The priority of this matter is even higher than the task assigned by the King of Thousand Eyes.

Therefore, now we return to the question just now—why would the Madam be so leisurely and waste the remaining time on other things after receiving Roland?

These eight or nine hours are probably all reserved for Roland.

Catherine laughed gloatingly: "It's a coincidence that Viscount also will bring his confidants to formally negotiate with me today. I guess this ingrate is planning to completely dispose of the Earl and then push the Countess to the throne.

They need the support of the King of Thousand Eyes.

And we also have a lot to talk about regarding the Black Abyss. They have many things to discuss with me, and we also have many interests to share.

We have to talk for at least an afternoon.

I don't trust them, I can't go alone, I will definitely bring Anna.

So, both Anna and I are held back, and I don't have time to care whether my fiancé is messing around with someone."

After a pause, Catherine looked at Roland with a smile: "Enjoy a pleasant afternoon tea, Lord Roland. Well, maybe even a dinner."

Roland was shocked, he said: "What do you mean? I don't want to stay with that group of vampires for an afternoon!"

Catherine smiled, ignored him, and sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair. She just said: "Look forward to my side going smoothly. If my side goes smoothly, we will leave today."

Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

Senior Sister is going to the laboratory, so she can't have any secret talks with the Viscount and the others.

But this secret talk is an excellent opportunity to make a move.

This meeting is top-secret, not many people will participate, and to prevent leaks, no one will disturb their conversation.

So this will be an excellent opportunity for a 'locked room murder'.

As long as Senior Sister and Anna go in, directly kill the Viscount and the few confidants he brought, they will go to the laboratory to commit the crime.

With Senior Sister's speed of packing things, it will only take a while.

As for the Earl, he is sealed in the jar. Even if he suddenly wakes up, it is not a problem with the help of the Heraka statue.

Therefore, when Senior Sister completes the work does not depend on how many things are in the laboratory, but on how much she wants to learn from the wizards in the laboratory in the identity of the Countess.

If things go smoothly, it will be over before I am tied to the bed.

Senior Sister has always been reliable in her work, and the clone will not cause any trouble following her.

As long as nothing happens on my side, just persevere a little, and it will be over.

Wait, wait, with Senior Sister's greedy nature, can she leave directly after finishing the work?

Won't she have to wander around the Bloodless Fortress?

During this period, can she let her clone come over to help me?

She needs her clone to help her find treasure!

Roland came to Senior Sister's side flatteringly and combed her hair: "Many wizards may have come to the Bloodless Fortress. After you finish your work, it's best not to wander around casually. I'm worried about you."

Regarding Roland's concern, Senior Sister chuckled: "Roland, don't worry about me. In this Bloodless Fortress, no one is my opponent."

The implication is that you should worry about yourself.

Roland's face was a little ugly.

After combing her hair, Senior Sister stopped teasing Roland and said seriously: "Try to delay it as much as possible... Don't look for me within two hours!"

Last night, Senior Sister told Roland—I'll let you have fun if you want to have fun, but if you don't get things done, just wait!

Two hours is the minimum completion standard for the task after Catherine lowered the requirements.

Therefore, Roland has to find a way to hold the Countess back for two hours.

Roland thought to himself: "Madam Wendy Shaw won't press me down and draw blood as soon as I come, right?

Two hours, I'll find a way to delay it, it's still not a problem."

Lost in thought, Roland saw Senior Sister take out a miniature cage.

This small cage faintly had some mysterious aura, and Roland suspected that this was the 'cage' that Senior Sister had prepared for the Prisoner Seed.

At this time, Roland suddenly saw Catherine grab Leona, who was dancing over there, and Leona and the bat statue on her shoulder appeared in the small cage.

Roland was shocked, not expecting Senior Sister to be able to contain Leona and her clone so easily!

He moved his mind and found that he still had contact with Leona, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Catherine gave Roland a look.

Roland obediently closed his eyes, and then the bat statue on Leona's shoulder slowly melted, wrapping Leona.

After that, a Roland wearing a moss robe appeared in the small cage.

The clone Roland closed his eyes and thought for a moment, giving Roland a look—there are still loopholes to escape.

Catherine sneered: "Don't flirt with me in front of me, I don't intend to keep your clone and Leona locked up. Do things well for me, and you will get your benefits. This Bloodless Fortress has accumulated hundreds of years of wealth.

Bloodless Warlocks are in awe of power but not virtue. They can secretly do so many things under my father's nose. If they are not properly beaten, how can they fear the Black Abyss?"

Bloodless Warlocks usually do a lot of evil, and the people of the entire Earl's territory are their blood slaves.

This group of leeks grows too vigorously, and it is necessary to harvest a wave. Otherwise, it is not a good thing for the secular world or the wizarding world.

The great filial daughter will naturally not let her father's claws harvest the leeks, she will definitely take this cheap in her own hands.

Catherine needs this wave of nourishment, after all, the treasures on the old Black Abyss members have been damaged a lot after falling into the abyss. With the nourishment of this wave of fat, they can also dig out the eyes of the Yellow Fern Lord after they come back.

Roland thought to himself: 'It seems that Senior Sister is planning to help the Heraka idol and do something big in the Bloodless Fortress.'

Seeing that Roland had not spoken, Catherine showed a gentle look: "Roland, I was not ordering you just now. This matter is really important to me, I just hope you can be serious and don't make things big. No matter what I will be like in the future, I am your lover, and everything I have belongs to you... including me."

Roland thought to himself: 'Senior Sister, I can't be moved by what you are saying to me now! I'm a little panicked now!'

This time, Roland and Catherine have the same goal.

The two perform their respective duties in the mission.

Catherine's job is to pack the laboratory, and then maximize profits in the remaining time. Her task is very difficult.

Conversely, Roland's job should be the simplest, after all, he just needs to find a way to hold the Madam back.

Logically speaking, as long as he appreciates the artworks with the Countess and discusses the Heraka Poetry, two hours will pass quickly.

But Roland inexplicably felt guilty.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't eaten? Low blood sugar?

Yesterday's energy consumption was a bit too much. Need to replenish some protein.

The two people have finished talking about what they wanted to talk about and are preparing to let the female officials come in.

Catherine finally said, "You're really not planning on taking anything with you? I know you're worried about being caught and searched, losing things. But if you encounter that kind of situation at the Countess's place, it's best to cancel our plan, Roland. Your life is the most important thing."

Catherine always pretends to be a witch boss who thinks, 'You're all my consumables,' but in her heart, nothing is more important than Roland.

Even more important than her own life.

Roland said, "It's just a tea party, what could possibly happen."

Under Catherine's warning gaze, Roland changed his tune: "Alright, you're right."

Roland thought for a moment, then changed into the Moss Robe and inner armor, returning to his original classical attire.

In addition, he took a silver pocket watch.

The Moss Robe comes with a Substitute Technique. In extreme situations where Roland doesn't have the opportunity to summon a doppelganger, the Moss Robe can save his life and create a straw Roland.

Combined with the silver pocket watch's invincibility frames, Roland can bring his doppelganger over as well.

Having these things is enough.

Besides, it's just a tea party, isn't it?

At this moment, Senior gave the Serpent Ring to Roland, she said: "Take this with you. It's connected to my ring, and through it, I can know if something happens to you."

Roland waved his hand and said, "This thing, my doppelganger has to keep it. It contains a statue of a god that can help you deal with the Count... If the Count suddenly wakes up, we'll have to rely on this statue."

Roland doesn't dare to take the statue out of the ring now, afraid of startling the ancient god again.

After listening to Roland's words, Catherine pondered for a moment and gave Roland a small snake statue. This statue was an amulet.

Through this amulet, Senior can know Roland's situation, and it also has a special function—Senior can perform a 'castling' with the amulet.

If something happens to Roland, the small snake statue amulet will notify Senior, and Senior can teleport over immediately to help.

Catherine finally said, "I know it's just a tea party, but we still need to take some precautions."

The newest and fastest novels are at 69shu.

Roland's heart couldn't help but warm.

In this world, everyone calculates for themselves, only Catherine treats him with all her heart. She keeps saying that this mission is the most important, but she's always ready to put those things aside for Roland's sake.

The maids knocked on the door again to inquire, and Roland let them in directly.

After seeing Roland's current attire, the maids were slightly stunned, and then they focused on their own tasks, pretending to be deaf and dumb as they served Catherine.

It was as if last night, Lord Roland should have stayed in Lady Aleyev's room.

Roland sat aside and chatted with Catherine for a while, then went to the living room to eat.

Before, when he just got out of bed, Roland had no other thoughts, but after eating his fill, he became energetic again.

No wonder Catherine is always worried about this guy. After Catherine spent a warm night with Roland last night, she probably won't want to provoke this guy again for half a month.

But after Roland finished eating, he stood smiling at the bedroom door again, watching Senior get dressed.

It wasn't until Senior had the maids close the door that Roland returned to the living room somewhat disappointed.

He looked at the silver pocket watch, it was now twelve thirty, and there was still an hour before the time agreed upon with the Countess... It would be just right to leave in half an hour.

He held a cup of coffee and stood by the window, admiring the scenery.

The sky outside was clear. Compared to the evening, there were fewer people standing on the rooftops and towers during the day. They covered their bodies tightly, trying to hide in the shadows.

Anna was practicing swordsmanship with a group of court knights in the courtyard—to be precise, they should be Bloodless Knights.

During last night's banquet, Roland noticed that the 'Sir Buck' was very knowledgeable in swordsmanship. In fact, the big grub had been motionless all the time. The reason why he was said to be knowledgeable in swordsmanship was because he could predict Roland's moves and understand Roland's footwork.

So far, among the people who have fought Roland, not counting Anna, only two people can understand his footwork.

One is Big Brother Pumpkin—he simply killed too many people, and coupled with his terrifying mental power, he was able to keep up with Roland's movements.

The other is Sir Buck, who really understands, and his neural reflex arc is very fast, but the magic in his hand can't keep up with Roland.

Although Roland didn't use any magical items or magic, Sir Buck only used magic.

He dodged Roland's initial surprise attack, and then forced Roland not to dare to get close for more than a minute.

At that time, Roland felt that the Bloodless family seemed to have a special body forging technique.

Now, seeing those Bloodless Knights below, Roland's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Every wizard family raises some knights. They are not only excellent human experimental materials, but also good cannon fodder, even high-level cannon fodder, when they wear heavy magical protective gear.

But Roland has never heard of any wizard family cultivating knights to a level above Tier 1.

When entering Bloodless Fortress, Roland noticed that there were many knights in Bloodless Fortress. Even during the banquet, he saw many court knights acting as guards.

Those court knights were very tall. Roland originally thought they were just for show and cannon fodder, but now he saw that they were actually the basic backbone.

It can be seen that these knights are not very good at dealing with high-level warriors, they are better at ganging up on wizards.

The equipment on their bodies is also expensive magic resistance equipment.

But these knights, who are specially trained to gang up on wizards, can still fight Anna to a standstill.

Anna seems to be using the Bloodless Knights to continue honing her skills—her current strength is still a long way from Nal's, and she is still in the recovery training stage.

Anna is in recovery training, not fighting against the Bloodless Knights. Several Bloodless Knights below take turns sparring and getting beaten, including a grand knight commander with the physical strength of the late Tier 1, acting as the main sparring partner.

After watching for a while, Roland's eyes lit up slightly.

Sword light overflowed in the courtyard. The Bloodless Knights clearly had no magic power, but they could release sword shadows like thunder and fire magic blades.

Sword energy, levitation, short-term flight... their speed was extremely fast, and their neural reflex arcs were also incredibly fast. They looked like a bat flying in the forest!

He obviously couldn't beat Anna, and it took several people to fight Anna to a draw, but this was during the day!

And the Bloodless Wizards are a group of vampires!

Night is their home field.

Their speed was maxed out, and surprisingly, their strength and stamina were also incredibly high!

Their swordsmanship and movements were also very strange.

Roland had no doubt that even if these guys were torn apart, as long as they were stained with blood, they could come back to life and fight again!

Looking at the afterimages left by the knights in the courtyard moving at high speed, Roland's hand holding the coffee trembled slightly.

This is exactly the excellent body refining technique he needs. Although the vampire's stuff may not be suitable for him, and he may not be able to perfectly integrate it after practicing it, it is still better than nothing!

Roland likes the Valeria swordsmanship moves very much, but he can't practice the core mysteries.

Perhaps there is such a thing in Bloodless Fortress.

Once he can practice this body refining technique, his speed, recovery, and strength will all get a qualitative leap.

Soon, everyone entered the rest stage. Those very tall knights took off their helmets, and Roland's pupils suddenly shrank.

Their faces were very strange, without noses, their mouths were very wide, and their teeth were very sharp.

They are not bats, nor are they vampires.

But night demons, or rather, night demons modified by the Bloodless Wizards through mutation studies.

Roland said with a strange expression: 'I thought they were taking the demonic path like the Bloodless Wizards. Now it seems that they are taking the demonic path... Can the demons' things be suitable for me?'

After thinking about it, Roland felt that it must be stronger than the vampire's stuff. The demons' things are often very suitable for humans.

If you practice the vampire's stuff, you may have to go through a transformation ceremony to turn yourself into a vampire before you can practice it completely.

But the demons' things are not necessarily. Although there will be strange side effects, and even some signs of depravity. But magic potions or some supreme good and pure holy objects can solve these problems.

At this time, the maid informed Roland that a certain Duke had come to invite Roland to Lady Wendy's salon.

Roland cheered up. He thought to himself: 'I wonder if I can get this kind of body forging secret method this time.'

No matter what happens, Roland will definitely go.

If he can get important information from the Countess, he might be able to cooperate with Senior one last time before she leaves, achieve option C, and get Hela's veil and the Bloodless Baron's mask.

Moreover, the goddess Hela promised to help Roland solve the problem that the side effects on the doppelganger will affect the main body.

This is the most critical thing.

After all, only by solving this matter can Roland continue on the path of wizards. Otherwise, he will have to consider eliminating the doppelganger and returning to the secular world.

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

In his thoughts, Roland walked out of the door and saw those people who came to pick him up.

The leader was actually a Duchess who was a head taller than Roland!

She wore knight armor, a mask, and had golden pupils, like beautiful amber gems.

Behind her were several female knights and some maids.

Roland's pupils moved, and he found that this Duchess was actually a quasi-Tier 2 knight.

Quasi-Tier 2, this realm is very strange, but it is very common in the Bloodless family.

They have clearly entered Tier 2 and formed a 'Philosopher's Stone' in their bodies, but the Philosopher's Stone is full of flaws.

These individuals either ascended the steps through external forces or possess flawed cultivation techniques. They are often incapable of advancing further in their lives and harbor fatal issues that prevent them from unleashing the true power of a Second Order.

However, Roland dared not underestimate such individuals, because 'Haywood' was one of them.

Or rather, a minority of those stuck between two levels advanced using mysterious powers.

The Barren Blood Family's secret techniques had already been tampered with by Baron Barren Blood in secret. Who knew if some Quasi-Second Order powerhouses were bodies prepared by Baron Barren Blood for himself in the mortal realm?

The Countess gave Roland a very polite bow. Her voice was completely different from her height, extremely soft and delicate: "Noble Lord Roland, the castle has been rather restless lately. Countess specifically sent me to escort you over."

'It seems the Countess is very wary of us. I must find a way to make her lower her guard.'

Roland smiled and chatted with the Countess for a few words before heading to the painting room.

The two chatted happily along the way. Roland learned that this Countess had just returned to Barren Blood Castle from the outside world last night and was responsible for all security matters here.

After learning that Roland was interested in the skills she possessed, the Countess expressed that she could exchange pointers with Roland later.

Amidst the small talk, the two arrived at the painting room. Roland looked up, and his expression immediately became very unsightly.

He suddenly understood why the Countess had specifically sent this Countess to 'escort' him.

Seated in this painting room were a dozen elegant and beautiful ladies, or rather, one Matriarch, three Holy Virgins, and a dozen Priestesses.

The moment Roland entered, more than a dozen charm spells, cognitive distortions, and other mental control techniques were cast directly at him.
