I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Wallace said that little girl was very powerful, and a strange look appeared on Roland's face. The magic power on that girl was the weakest. Could it be some kind of disguise?

After Wallace learned that these freshmen planned to return to the academy, he stroked his beard and asked, "Which department are you from?"

"Arcane Department, sir, we are from the Arcane Department," the strongest young man in the team said.

Wallace's eyes lit up, and he said to Roland, "Young Master Roland, they are your future classmates."

Black Abyss Academy is nominally an Arcane Academy. Catherine originally planned to arrange Roland to the Arcane Department.

Wallace transmitted a thought: ["I plan to find a few old friends in town and work on some connections. If you think it will be troublesome to go with them, wait for me."]

Roland thought for a moment. He felt it would be good to go back with these people.

Besides, he was already fed up with Wallace, that old man, and didn't want to see him anymore.

Roland carefully looked at the four classmates.

They had just introduced themselves. These four people, three boys and one girl, the oldest was 16 years old named Adam, and the youngest was the girl, 14 years old, named Helena.

But people here are precocious, so the young men all had beards on their chins.

From their appearance, the three boys were all tall and strong, and the tallest boy was only slightly shorter than Roland. And that little girl was also nearly 1.7 meters tall.

In this world, the average height of humans is 1.7 meters. Most commoners are short and thin, while nobles are taller and stronger.

The faces of these four people were all very good, and their teeth were also very white and neat. They should all come from noble families, but I don't know if they came from secular noble families or wizarding noble families.

Roland could tell at a glance that these four people had practiced swords and seen blood.

Among them, the tallest young man had very good bones and arm span. He was a very good swordsman seedling. Judging from his aura, he should be a middle-level knight. He was the leader of the four.

He is 16 this year, and to be able to become a middle-level knight at the age of 16 is very talented.

No matter what their magic level is, these four people are not a burden.

Roland looked at the tall and strong young man and asked, "What's your name?"

"Adam, sir. My name is Adam," Adam replied respectfully.

Adam was a very proud young man. He didn't have a good impression of this gambling second-generation ancestor, but the difference in status was too great, so he hid his impatience in his heart.

Roland nodded lightly and asked, "Do you know the way? What are your specific plans for the mission on the way back?"

Adam explained the situation.

In fact, they had come here yesterday, and they had also seen the giant monster from the mountain, but the road ahead was blocked. They bought the information of that giant monster yesterday, so if they don't do this task, they will lose money.

Roland frowned when he heard it was a mountain giant monster.

As a person from the secular world, Roland had heard of this kind of monster for a long time. It can be said that the children of Valeria grew up listening to the horror stories of giant monsters.

That thing belongs to the troll category, but its size is no longer the same species as the troll.

Their standard height is 3.5 meters, almost as tall as Anna, but their weight is more than twice that of Anna!

And that thing is not like Anna, a fool who only knows how to bite people. They will throw sticks!

Not to mention using weapons, even if it is bare-handed, it is no problem to tear apart two trolls, and it is also thick-skinned and has extremely high defense. In the secular world, without a dozen formal knights, plus a dozen elite adventurers who can make traps, don't even think about fighting this monster.

Not to mention that this is still a mutated one.

This is a Tier 2 magical creature, and even intermediate apprentices have to be careful when dealing with it!

I don't know if other low-level apprentices can deal with this mutated thing alone, but Roland is not sure.

Roland couldn't help but look at the freshmen in front of him with a strange expression.

These four people dared to challenge such a thing, they were bold enough.

However, if these people are reliable, then with himself and the Wind Prince, this task should be able to be done.

Roland touched his chin and muttered, "Can one person get 8 magic stones? Not bad, and it's on the way. But let's make it clear in advance, if it's obvious that we can't deal with it, I'll turn around and leave."

The four classmates showed strange expressions, and the little girl weakly reminded, "It's a total of eight magic stones. If the spoils are handled properly, you can earn two more—five people, each person can get up to 2 magic stones."

Roland's face stiffened slightly. The wizard who issued the task was really a bit dark-hearted. That was a mutated giant monster, and the reward was only 8 magic stones in total.

The tallest Adam said, "Sir, we don't have to fight it desperately. If it's obvious that we can't deal with it, then collecting its mutation information can also give us two magic stones...I mean the total amount. We also spent 2 magic stones on buying a copy of the information before, so if we don't kill it, the money can't be divided."

After a pause, Adam said again, "We should have no problem killing it. If its mutation is valuable, the corpse can also be sold for materials. Plus collecting some magic herbs on the road, adding up the odds and ends, one person can get 4 or 5 magic stones...not bad."

Roland hesitated, touching his chin.

He is very short of money now, and four or five magic stones are indeed not a small amount. But these guys seem to really want to kill that monster.

Therefore, Roland was worried that after encountering the monster, these guys would deliberately lure the monster and forcibly drag him into the water.

The others didn't know what Roland was thinking, and thought he looked down on this little money.

Wallace persuaded from the side, "You, don't be bitten by a snake once and be afraid of well ropes for ten years. There will be many opportunities for you to go on missions with your classmates in the future. You can't just not go once, right?"

Wallace's words had a deeper meaning. On the one hand, he was saying that White Chess wizard apprentices rarely pit their teammates. On the other hand, he was saying that Roland could meet anyone in the future, and he couldn't just not pick herbs and treasures because of this kind of thing.

Roland thought to himself, 'Indeed, I'm so poor right now. If I don't take this kind of task that can be done on the way back to the academy, I might as well not take any tasks in the future!'

Wallace said again, "Go, young master, just take it as your first trial."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at Roland.

This young master doesn't seem to have participated in any trials so far?!

They originally thought of finding a strong teammate, but they invited a living ancestor.

They have to protect this young master well along the way!

Roland glared at Wallace and said, "Go away, old immortal."

The corner of Wallace's mouth twitched slightly, but he bowed respectfully to Roland like an old butler.

He said, "Young master, don't gamble after you go back."

Roland hated in his heart: 'I'll remember this! The first time I meet my classmates, you put me on the fire to roast, making me famous throughout the school!'

'I X your daughter!'

'Uh, cough, forget it, I'll let you go today.'

Wallace transmitted a spiritual thought to Roland: [ 'Roland, the Black Forest is still a bit dangerous. Be careful on the road. If it doesn't work, just go back to the academy directly.' ]

Wallace always couldn't help but think of the news three months ago, so he was a little worried. But it's been three months.

But he heard last night that someone reported that he was a demon!

Alaka wizards came to investigate!

Although the reporter was deliberately disgusting, he was right!

So if this matter is not handled well, it will be a huge trouble! A lot of people will be pulled out!

At this critical moment, he must deal with it recently, so the two must separate.

Wallace added: [ "They shouldn't cause you any trouble, so if possible, don't just run away alone when you encounter trouble." ]

Roland responded: [ 'You guy, escorting freshmen is clearly your job, but now you're handing it over to me. You're cheating my money and asking me to work for you. Arrange a separate residence for me in the academy, with a alchemy room and a magic potion garden! And equip me with servants!' ]

Wallace: [ "No problem, no problem! Don't worry, my young master. The academy has plenty of open space. I'll arrange a manor with a medicine garden for you!" ]

Roland was finally satisfied now.

After Roland drove Wallace away, Roland set off with everyone.

"That...Senior Roland." The girl named Helena asked carefully, "Can you use formal magic?"

Roland raised a finger: "I only know one trick of prestidigitation and one trick of swordsmanship."
