I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha
#123 - The Four Gamblers
At the end of the call, Wallace earnestly advised Roland: "Well, bear with it for these two years. In two years, I'll find you a good place where you can have fun. If you encounter vampires near Bloodfang Town, you can play around as you like. Those female vampires are all very hot, and they won't come looking for you afterward."
"The young lady is very petty, even though she's not interested in men at all. She doesn't think much of you either. But you two at least have a nominal relationship, so you need to be careful."
Roland couldn't help but recall Catherine's snake-like waist.
"Don't forget to come back for the Academy Cup. Roland, I still need your help with this. The White Queen is very concerned about the young lady's affairs. I don't expect you to outshine that 'Prince Charles' from the White Chess Academy, just don't fall too far behind."
Roland felt a surge of inexplicable anger and said, "It's my duty!"
Wallace was speechless. This kid never does anything unless there's a profit to be made, why did he agree so readily today?
Did the young lady secretly give this kid some benefits?
Something's not right, something's not right!
After putting away the crystal ball, Roland went to Bill's office.
Director Bill was a large, fat man, but he seemed to have lost a lot of weight these past few days, and his skin was loose. His eye sockets were deep-set, and his complexion was a bit dark. It looked like he hadn't been getting any sleep lately.
Seeing Roland enter, he hurriedly closed the door, his attitude extremely obsequious. His words were full of hints, hoping Roland could say a few good words to Wallace on his behalf.
Roland didn't waste time with him and directly told Bill that Wallace wanted him to throw the report in the face of a wizard named 'Karen'.
Hearing this name, Bill looked as if his parents had died. Karen was the tower master of a certain tower! A person of the level of a branch dean.
"Deal with it yourself." Roland left the office and went straight to the cafeteria.
Along the way, he pondered many things. He always felt that the relationship between the White Queen and Catherine was unusual, like that of a true mentor.
Calculating the history... the White Queen is Alexandra the Witch, a hundred years older.
The cafeteria was packed, there was big news today.
Rumors about the 'White Chess Princess' were spreading everywhere.
It was said that this princess was a formal wizard. She had recently transferred to the academy. However, she wasn't there as a professor, but to study in the tower.
Everyone guessed that she might take a look at the Magic Chess Society in the Black Abyss.
The Magic Chess Society is known as the cradle of wizards. Most people in the academy who hope to advance to wizard status are in the society. The probability of a formal wizard appearing in this society reaches an exaggerated 30%. Therefore, even when a new dean takes office, they will specifically go to the Magic Chess Society to take a look and say a few words.
The higher-ups of the two factions in the academy attached great importance to the princess's entry into the academy, and many branch deans and professors would accompany her.
This princess used to be a prominent figure at the White Chess Academy. After advancing to intermediate apprentice, she had no rivals among the apprentices!
Her cultivation speed was also unimaginable. Before the age of sixteen, she had no magical talent. After the age of sixteen, she suddenly awakened her magic power and began to meditate. By the age of eighteen, she had advanced to a high-level apprentice. Now she is already a formal wizard.
Someone commented:
—"This is a true genius! Unmatched for a thousand years!"
—"At most three hundred years, compared to the former Alexandra the Witch, the princess is still slightly inferior."
—"Speaking of which, both the princess and Alexandra the Witch are students of the White Queen."
—"If Her Highness cultivates well, she may well be the second 'White Chess Witch' in the future."
—"It is said that the princess is already engaged, and her fiancé is... alas."
Roland was secretly surprised, never expecting that the White Queen was Senior Sister's mentor.
He had some doubts in his mind: 'This princess, could it be... no, Senior Sister is only a high-level apprentice, while that princess is a formal wizard.'
Roland shook his head secretly.
'Senior Sister, you're going to be overshadowed by this princess. The timing is too coincidental, you came today, and she came today too. Could it be to deliberately provoke you?'
At this moment, a small butt sat down on the seat next to Roland, and Roland looked over. Helena smiled at him.
Roland no longer treated Helena as a little sister, but as his sister-in-law.
The two chatted for a while, and Helena asked him if he had read her poetry.
She knew that Roland's level in elemental magic was very high. And the connection between Elven poetry and elemental magic is very large. So, she thought that Roland was very proficient in Elvish.
Helena specialized in elemental magic, so she wanted to ask Roland for advice.
"Uh... still researching."
The letter had already been burned by Senior Sister, and the books on Elven poetry had also been taken away by Senior Sister. She also left Roland a pile of other homework, leaving him no time to look at Elven things.
Roland changed the topic and mentioned joining the Magic Chess Society.
Helena said in surprise: "We're waiting for you! Brother Charlie is always talking about you! But you can't go gambling with him!"
Roland didn't know what to say.
The label on himself was already bad for his reputation. Mixing with people like Charlie would only make his reputation worse.
But in order to maintain his persona, he could only mingle with this group of people.
"Let's go, brother-in-law! There's an activity in the society today." Helena grabbed Roland and called him brother-in-law affectionately.
Roland quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't call me that, your cousin and I aren't married yet, and we haven't met many times, it wouldn't be good for her to hear that."
Helena blinked her eyes and said: "But that's not what my cousin said when she was chatting with me this morning."
Roland's expression was a little strange.
Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Send!
It sounded like Catherine had a meeting with the dean this morning after she came over. There were many people standing and sitting around at the time, and Helena was sitting next to Senior Sister.
Catherine repeatedly warned Roland not to spread the relationship between the two, and to maintain the persona that the two had not met many times.
But while chatting with Helena, she intentionally or unintentionally hinted to Helena about Roland's identity, and also hinted to Helena that the two had lived together in Valeria for a period of time. There was inevitably some bad taste in it.
As a result, Helena was overjoyed after hearing this, saying that Roland was really her brother-in-law, and that she got along very well with Senior Roland, and that she was very happy for him to be her brother-in-law.
Catherine seemed very disappointed after seeing Helena's reaction.
Roland thought to himself: "Senior Sister, you're too wicked. You treat a simple little girl like this, let alone the fact that she's your distant cousin. Moreover, there's nothing between us, we're just pen pals."
Soon, the two came to a special activity room for the Magic Chess Society, which looked like a large hall or lecture hall. It was packed with people.
This simple little junior sister suddenly hugged Roland's arm tightly, her face flushed, and swaggered into the door with Roland.
She didn't call him brother-in-law anymore, but called him Senior Brother, appearing very affectionate.
There were many people around, and they all showed knowing smiles when they saw the two. It seemed that Roland had become very famous in the Magic Chess Society recently, and a certain simple little girl had spread some rumors this morning.
Roland didn't know about these things. When he saw Helena hugging him, he thought she was being pushed over because there were too many people around.
When he realized that everyone's smiles and gazes were a little strange, Charlie also came to greet him. So Roland's attention was diverted.
In the huge lecture hall, more than half of the people were low-level apprentices. Seeing Roland, they respectfully called him Senior Brother.
Roland occasionally saw some slightly familiar faces and nodded slightly.
Unlike when he first came to the academy, Roland was already a mid-level apprentice. And everyone had heard about his public reprimand of Red Skull, and his deep dive into the Black Forest with Charlie, destroying several Magic Eye nests.
Therefore, his faint attitude had become a matter of course in the eyes of mid-level and low-level apprentices. Some low-level apprentices would be very happy to see Roland nod to them.
Everyone was very happy about the addition of an Alexandra. It's just that everyone doesn't know Roland's full surname yet.
Roland looked around and thought to himself: 'Heh, no wonder they say that people in the Chess Society have the opportunity to advance to formal wizards. Basically, all the White Chess elites in the entire academy are here. Everyone here is a chosen one, and those with qualifications exceeding three elements are trash, except for me.'
Roland also saw Alex, who had fought with 'Kay' at the beginning, and 'Lance', the big shot who led people to beat up the Black Abyss seniors.
They were both deputy ministers, the same level as Charlie.
The two had long forgotten about Roland. They didn't know that this kid was once the junior apprentice they had ignored. They just felt that his magic power was profound, and they had heard Charlie say that Roland was far superior to him, so they were very enthusiastic when they came over to say hello.
As everyone knows, every Alexandra is a ruthless character, but they are all very unsociable and have very strange personalities. So they are not very popular.
This Brother Roland, although his personality is a bit strange, is a very good person and unexpectedly popular. After chatting with Roland for a while, the gambling saint Lance once again cordially invited him to go to the casino with himself and Charlie's group if he had the opportunity.
