I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

"Damn it! How did this cursed thing get into my book?!"

Roland said, "How would I know? I clearly sealed Lilith! How could it have been sealed in by me?!"

Wallace cursed, "Bullshit! You can seal it? That thing isn't a demon, how could it be sealed by you!"

Roland, stiffening his neck, said, "Then why is it in the book?"

Wallace paused slightly. He stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then said, "Don't dream, kid. It couldn't have been sealed by you. It must have run in there itself!"

Roland was stunned. "Why would it run in there itself?"

Wallace frowned and shook his head. "I don't know, but it definitely has that ability. It can go anywhere, but why would it run into your book of all places?"

Roland's heart pounded secretly. He thought, 'Wallace, quickly use your brain and help me find a reasonable explanation!'

After thinking for a moment, Wallace's face suddenly turned ugly. He said to Roland, "According to past cases, it's likely that it's taken a liking to you. You're being haunted by the Ballet Ghoul! Your demon-sealing array is just a catalyst!"

Roland's face turned ashen.

Isn't there another possibility?

What really made it cooperate with the seal was dancing. Or rather, 'a mystical ritual under the rules of the Ballet Ghoul'.

The Ballet Ghoul is like a demon; once you satisfy it, it accepts your invitation and runs into the book.

My Forbidden Transformation Technique + Demon-Sealing Array did have some effect, but its main purpose was to guide the way?

Roland was confused. He couldn't figure out what was going on.

But what was certain was that he was definitely being haunted by the Ballet Ghoul!

Roland panicked: "What should I do now? Does the seal in the book count as sealing it? Does this ghost thing have the ability to run out on its own?"

Wallace stroked his beard, revealing a strange expression.

He reached out, and the book on the ground flew into his hand. After flipping through it, he said, "You can observe it, so you can interfere with it. You can interfere with it, so you can control it. But!"

Wallace changed his tone: "The Book of Demons can't describe it at all. If it can't be described, it can't be observed. If it can't be observed... how can you control it?"

Wallace said seriously to Roland, "Roland, no matter how it got in there, it's not in a sealed state now! The Book of Demons can't control it. It can come out at any time."

Roland was truly panicked now.

He thought he had dealt with that terrifying female ghost, but who knew, the female ghost had only crawled under his bed to sleep.

It could crawl out from under the bed at any time and then lie on his back!

Roland said, "Ahem, Wallace, I'm sorry for causing you such a big trouble. Here's the book back to you."

Wallace glared and cursed, "Bullshit! It's yours now!"

Roland: "."

Wallace stroked his beard and said, "However, don't panic. According to the Ballet Ghoul's past behavior, it won't move without an audience. It's inside the book now. We can't observe it, so there's no audience. Therefore, theoretically speaking, it won't come out."

Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

Wallace added, "But that's just in theory... Who knows if you'll suddenly see it when you flip through the book. Besides, your family's meditation method focuses on visualizing the underlying world. You better not dream about it."

Roland's heart skipped a beat: "It'll run out of my dreams?!"

Wallace sighed. He got up, found a book on the bookshelf, and handed it to Roland.

"Do some research. The Black Abyss Academy doesn't have many research documents on mysterious creatures. The content here should ensure it doesn't run from afar to grab you."

Roland carefully accepted the book.

Wallace added, "The rest will have to wait until the young lady comes back. She's with her mentor these days. It'll be a few days."

Roland's face turned ugly: "What do I do in the meantime?"

"Let me think of a temporary solution for you."

Wallace took out a list of the academy's land conditions and said, "You kid, you better live alone. Don't live in the academy, or if someone finds out this thing ran into your book, we won't be able to explain it... I'll find you a special residence that can temporarily contain the Ballet Ghoul."

After examining the land list, Wallace took out his wand and tapped the crystal ball on his desk.

Subsequently, a detached villa appeared in the crystal ball—or rather, a luxurious manor.

In the manor, there were castles, butlers, maids, and servants. There were also many long-term and short-term workers.

Outside the castle, there was also a mill and a Portuguese winery.

This was a wine estate. Its image was very similar to 'Grandet's' estate.

Roland's eyes lit up when he saw it: "This is..."

Wallace smiled and said, "Oh, this is where I originally prepared for you. You know, the academy has a lot of land, and each area needs someone to guard it. Generally speaking, after apprentices advance to official wizards, they will be assigned to a place. This manor is a good location.

Although you are not an official wizard, how can you not have your own territory with your noble status? This place is very convenient. It is located close to the wizard market at the foot of the mountain, and there is also a fireplace in the castle that can be teleported back to the academy. Moreover, it belongs to the secular territory and can manage the Muggles.

If you manage it well and plant some magic herbs, you will have gold coins and magic stones coming in every month—everyone is very envious of this territory. But I left it to our young master Roland."

Roland watched the scene of the manor in the crystal ball for a while and found that it seemed to be a recording.

Roland asked, very tempted, "Will the servants be fully equipped for me?"

Wallace sneered.

Roland said: "?"

At this time, Wallace swiped away the picture in the crystal ball with his wand.

Wallace snorted: "I had originally arranged the location for the young master, but unfortunately, our young master Roland is an ascetic. He doesn't want to be disturbed by the affairs of the territory every day, doesn't like maids or subjects, doesn't like to manage such things, and doesn't like to live a comfortable and wealthy life—he likes more exciting ghost places!"

Roland: "."

Wallace pointed his wand, and a strange and gloomy forest appeared in the crystal ball—it was the Dark Forbidden Forest.

In the forest, there was an empty and eerie hut, surrounded by a large circle of undead and monsters a hundred meters away.

Wallace snorted, "As a member of Alexandria, young master Roland is very responsible. He heard that no one dared to guard the Forbidden Forest, so he forcibly took on this difficult task. He is determined to be a 'forest ranger', dealing with all kinds of terrible spirits and mysterious creatures every day."

Roland: "."
