I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Foxfire sped through the snowy ground at twice its normal pace. It was light and nimble, far more agile than usual, as if blessed by the element of wind.

The magic potion it had consumed warmed its body, bringing a great comfort. It felt inexhaustible, and the faster it ran, the better the potion seemed to digest, increasing its comfort.

After running for a long while, it didn't even feel tired, only slightly winded.

Although someone was sitting on its back, that person felt as if they were floating on it. It didn't feel any weight at all.

The path beneath its feet was clearly rugged. The accumulated snow was deep, making it difficult to walk, but it ran without leaving a trace. When it passed over a snow pit, it only left a faint hoof print.

Roland had set out in the morning, wasting some time on the mountain to advance his rank and research magic.

He began urging Foxfire onward with spells at noon. By now, he had been riding on the flat ground for a long time after descending the mountain. He rested once in between, and now it was three or four in the afternoon.

This three or four hours of travel was comparable to two days' worth of riding for normal cavalrymen.

At this moment, Roland suddenly frowned, pulled on the reins, and looked at the road ahead.

In the distance was a silent, ghostly village. The buildings within were dilapidated and decayed, and the trees in the nearby small snow forest grew strangely. A flock of crows circled in the sky, cawing 'woo-ah, woo-ah'.

The dead village was clearly gloomy, yet a beautiful rainbow hung in the sky above it.

Small snowflakes were still falling, and the flock of crows circled endlessly over the rainbow, making it look beautiful but also very strange.

The village was obviously abnormal, so Roland had just tried to go around it.

But after Foxfire ran for a while, it appeared in front of them again.

Roland revealed a strange expression. He had Foxfire circle in another direction this time. After a moment, he saw hoof prints in the snow ahead. Looking up again, he seemed to have returned to his original position.

Roland paid attention to the hoof prints in the snow, only to discover that he had just ridden in a circle around the village.

"Let's go around again," Roland patted the horse's neck and kicked its belly.

This time, Roland carefully observed the surrounding environment. When he returned to the original position, he looked at the crows circling near the rainbow in the sky, and his expression gradually became serious.

After a moment, he was shocked and said to Foxfire, "That's not a rainbow, it's a bell! Those crows are ringing the bell... Listen!"

There was no sound of bells around, only the chaotic cawing of crows.

Fortunately, he was accompanied by the horse on this journey. If he were with a person, that person would have been driven crazy by his constant mutterings.

"This place is a bit dangerous. You go into my pocket first. I'm going to take a look at that bell."

Roland pointed to the rainbow above the dead village and then took out two bottles of magic potion that were even more expensive than Foxfire, one for himself and one for Foxfire.

According to the potion's instructions, severely affected patients needed to apply it externally. If it was for prevention, then drink it directly.

This magic potion was sour and a hundred times more difficult to drink than straight vinegar.

After Foxfire drank it, it almost foamed at the mouth. After Roland drank it, he almost collapsed.

The man and horse stomped their feet in place for a long time before recovering.

Then, the ring on his hand flashed, and the horse disappeared into thin air.

"Not bad, not bad, a curious item! It swallows things on its own, even better than my dimensional bag!"

Roland transformed into a beam of fire and flew towards the village.

Inside the dead village...

"Huff... huff..."

Rapid footsteps crossed over the body of a knight, circling around a large stone house in the center of the village.

This was a young, thin woman, carrying a pile of rags on her back, dressed like a wandering merchant. She looked very comical.

"Baron Lawrence, Jack, Brown... I will not fail your trust!"

She was using rolls of dirty black tarpaulin to cover the holes in the dilapidated stone house.

Wind and snow constantly assailed her thin body, and she was already drenched in sweat.

She was casting a spell.

A super magic second only to the 'Peerless Magic'.

Those rolls of dirty black tarpaulin were her magic wands, and this large stone house, gradually covered with tarpaulin over the holes in the doors, windows, and roof, was her 'Demon Sealing Array'.

Within this 'Demon Sealing Array', there were thirty-three 'demons' and five knights who had died tragically.

Each of these demons was as beautiful as a princess. They wore crystal princess dresses and were covered in gorgeous crystal jewel decorations.

But everyone knew that none of them could be allowed to leave this village. Because each of them possessed a terrifying 'magic power' capable of destroying a city.

Therefore, the five knights, wagering their lives, played a game with these thirty-three demons. They lured the demons into the house.

Afterward, they helped the magician to carry out the final seal—bolting the door and using their bodies to block the dilapidated wooden door.

That's right, this was Amber's Demon Sealing Array.

There was no magic, and there were no incantations. It all relied on dilapidated tools and the heroes who were willing to give their lives for it.

Within this dilapidated stone house, terrifying magic fluctuated. That was the thirty-three crystal princesses. Anyone who looked at them, even for a moment, would gradually turn into clusters of crystals.

Squeak, squeak, the broken door began to make noises, as if five 'human-shaped crystal mines' were slowly growing inside, slowly sealing the door, making it exceptionally strong.

Crystal mines were also slowly growing on the inner walls of the large stone house. They would cover the walls, making the entire stone house indestructible.

But there were many holes in the large stone house. There were also gaps in the doors and windows. They were the final loopholes in this Demon Sealing Array.

But that didn't matter, because the great magician Amber had more than a dozen rolls of peerless and invincible magical items—as long as she covered the final loopholes in this Demon Sealing Array with that black tarpaulin worth 3 large silver deer, these thirty-eight demons would never reappear in the world.

Yes, thirty-eight demons.

The knights who fought against the demons were ultimately corrupted, becoming new demons.

Snowflakes fell on Amber's face, leaving bloody marks on her skin like blades.

Actually, those were tiny crystals.

Looking around, the surrounding buildings were as beautiful as the crystal houses in fairy tales. The translucent walls reflected seven-colored light.

These crystal houses were covered with black tarpaulin at a very peculiar angle, which caused the light they reflected to be refracted into the air, forming a magnificent rainbow in the sky.

This rainbow had a mysterious magic, like a huge crystal bell, trapping everything around it near the village.

When the crows circling in the sky, blocking the rainbow, gradually died in the plague and turned into crystals that fell to the ground, the rainbow would be complete. At that time, no one could enter or leave. Except for the crystal princesses, no one could get out.

Thirty-nine crystal princesses were about to be sealed into the Demon Sealing Array.

Amber was completing the final 'spell'.

Squeak, squeak, Amber laboriously and slowly climbed onto the roof. She used all her strength to pull the last piece of black tarpaulin, crawling towards the last loophole on the roof.

That's right, there were a total of thirty-nine crystal princesses, thirty-nine demons.

The last demon must jump into the Demon Sealing Array before completing the final seal.

Otherwise, everything would be in vain.

Amber was the thirty-ninth demon. Her body was already growing mottled crystals, and her legs could no longer bend.

"Grandpa, Father... I'm sorry, my peerless and invincible magic has no chance to be used, and I couldn't pass it down... I'm sorry, I can't fulfill your wishes."

Amber looked at the sky, and crystal tears fell from her gem-like eye sockets.

Decades ago, Amber's grandfather obtained many magic books from the hands of a dying wizard, and then became self-taught!

He had some shocking comprehension, but like all mortals, he was a mudblood with a seven-element affinity.

He couldn't use magic spells, but that didn't stop him from becoming a great magician!

He created amazing magic one after another. Then, with many like-minded people, he founded a magician's guild called the 'Raven Magic Enthusiasts Association'.

Before he died, he taught all his magic to his son. His son passed on this great inheritance to his daughter.

For generations, they have been studying the 'Crystal Princess Disease', vowing to end this terrible 'Plague of Light'.

That's right, it was the Plague of Light!

By Amber's generation, she had completely solved the mystery of the plague and created an invincible peerless magic, believing that she would definitely be able to end the terrible Plague of Light once and for all in this generation.

Finally, in a plague, she saved Baron Lawrence's territory.

Baron Lawrence was amazed by Amber's magic.

Although he didn't understand magic, he had seen magic and seen real wizards.

But the Baron firmly believed that Amber's magic must also be magic!

Regardless of whether Amber was a witch, regardless of how the court and those amazing great wizards viewed the 'Raven Society', the facts speak louder than words—Amber did what those great wizards could not do.

Baron Lawrence swore that he would personally escort Amber to the King and tell the King everything about the territory and the Raven Society!

Even if he were to be regarded as a madman by the King and the wizarding masters, Baron Lawrence would not hesitate.

Thus, the small baron put on his ancestral armor, gathered his few knights, and escorted Amber all the way to the king's castle.

In today's snowstorm, the group unexpectedly stumbled into this village, and everyone was infected.

Amber has methods to prevent infection and ways to stop its worsening. However, the method to stop the worsening is to confine people in a sufficiently dark hut.

They can no longer leave this village.

And here, there are thirty-three Crystal Princesses—the most severe and terrifying ‘infected’.

They were originally evil spirits but were infected with this plague, becoming strange beings.

They are about to complete their final infection and fully awaken. At that time, their malice will make them hate everything. Severe crystal disease will also grant them bodies and terrifying magic.

They will spread contamination everywhere. The kingdom's western district, like the southern district, will erupt in a second terrible plague. By then, living beings will be devastated, and even if the great wizards come to the kingdom, no more than one in ten of the people will survive.

Therefore, guided by Amber, everyone used their last lives and the ‘Crystal Princesses' habits to begin this sealing.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu ba!

Suddenly, Amber felt like she saw her grandfather.

Grandfather was floating in the air, studying the crows in the sky.

With a snap, a crow fell in front of Amber and slowly turned into a ball of honey.

Then, honey rain began to fall from the sky.

Amber blankly raised her head, knowing she was hallucinating.

Without hallucinations, how could she see her grandfather?

“Help me, Grandpa, help me!” Amber shouted to the sky with difficulty. Although she was delirious, she knew her grandfather couldn't help her because it was just a hallucination.

But she tried to use this method to stimulate her own power and allow herself to crawl into the cave to complete the seal.

Grandpa seemed to really appear!

He pointed towards this side, and then the roll of black canvas in Amber's hand flew to the entrance of the cave, sealing it off.

Grandpa not only appeared but also seemed to be using real magic!

Amber was surprised and anxious, she shouted: “Grandpa, why are you so stupid today! I'm infected, throw me in and seal it up! ~”

Grandpa flew down.

“Your grandpa, I, knows you're infected.”

At this moment, Amber suddenly clearly saw her ‘grandfather’—it was the black wizard she had met in the tavern!

This idiot! How did he break in!

It's over, it's over, it's all over!

Amber reached out to wave, telling him not to come near. But she couldn't say a complete sentence.

This person looks fine now, but once he gets close, he will be infected by her.

“Don't worry, don't worry, your grandpa is here to save you.”

The black wizard quickly flew over, and then he took out a bottle of magic potion, forcefully opened it on his leg, and poured it on Amber.

Amber's vision was blocked by the sunlight, so she could only see the shadow of the black wizard. She only saw the black wizard move his hand on his waist, and then a suspicious liquid poured all over her head and face with a splash.

Amber was anxious and angry, and she cried with a whimper.

Suddenly, she found that she could move.

She felt that after the suspicious liquid was poured on her body, it began to spread on her. Then, the crystallized parts gradually recovered.

Could it be that fresh urine can actually cure the disease?!

It seems that no one has ever tried this!

This is a major discovery!

Before she could say anything, the black wizard picked her up and carried her on his shoulder.

“5-element affinity, tsk tsk, you really are a genius. You, ah, have a limitless future.”

After saying that, the black wizard flew up with Amber and then took out a very evil magic wand.

Looking at the burning magic wand, Amber was shocked: “Snake, that snake is going to bite you!”

At this time, she also saw that there were flames on the magic wand entwined with poisonous snakes!

“Quickly put out this fire stick! There can't be light, this is the light plague!”

“Fire stick?” The black wizard staggered, almost falling from the sky. He said angrily: “This is a magic wand! A powerful magic wand!”

Amber was slightly stunned: “Magic wand, are magic wands like this?”

The black wizard pointed the magic wand at the ground, and then the black canvases on the crystal houses grew larger, covering each house.

Amber's eyes lit up: “Your spell is powerful... but it's still not as powerful as my spell. My spell is invincible!”

The black wizard hummed twice and said: “If you really understand magic, why don't you use it?”

Amber's face turned red, and she said: “I just can't use it! Hmph, forget it, you wouldn't understand anyway.”

The black wizard chuckled and said: “You just keep bragging.”

Amber was very angry. She reached into the few bags on her waist, then took out a thin booklet and said: “This is my second most amazing spell! If you can understand it, I will worship you as my teacher!”

The black wizard rolled his eyes and said: “I'm not interested in taking disciples... However, I can take a granddaughter, hehe.”

Amber said angrily: “If you can't use it, you call me grandma!”

The black wizard reached out and snatched the booklet, and after opening it, he was shocked: “What kind of ghost symbols are these?!”

“Call me grandma then!” Amber laughed loudly. This spell was her grandfather's spell, and grandfather was invincible. His spell was the most amazing.

His spell, no one in this world can understand.

He taught her so many times, and she didn't understand it. It would be a ghost if this black wizard could understand it!

In Amber's arrogant laughter, the black wizard angrily studied it for a while.

After a moment, he reached out and tapped the book, and immediately, the words in the book were arranged in another way.

“I'm really convinced, so many incantations are reversed... How was this spell created? Can it really be used?”

Amber's face was flushed, and she said: “What do you know, the previous order was the correct one! My grandfather used this spell to solve the problems of many villages. Although it cannot cure the plague, it can seal the plague.”

The black wizard looked at the spell and nodded deeply, asking: “Your grandfather is indeed very amazing. However, I have to change it to be able to use it.”

After saying that, he chanted a long spell.

【Forbidden Art. Shadow of Augustus (Modified): Light no longer exists.】

【Attribute: Shadow】

【Consumption: 1 - N】

【Description: In order to curb the plague, the great magician ‘Augustus’ created the second most invincible magic in the world! The original name of this magic is ‘Little Dark Room’. It can greatly reduce the light in a certain area, as if the night has arrived in advance. Although the effect is only this one, it is a true forbidden magic.

Today, a magician named ‘Roland’ has adapted this magic on the basis of the original magic and renamed it ‘Shadow of Augustus’.

His magic is more powerful and will help Augustus carry forward this magic.】

It was as if someone had drawn a curtain of night in the sky, and the sky gradually became dark. It seemed that night had arrived in advance.

Immediately, Amber blankly saw Roland's shadow in the night, becoming deeper and larger. Gradually, it devoured the entire village.

It was pitch black underfoot, and the light was eaten by his shadow.

Amber opened her mouth wide and looked at Roland: “Teacher, can you teach me magic?”

Roland looked at this little sister who was two years younger than him and said: “I don’t take disciples.”

Amber's expression changed, and then she squeezed out a smile: “Grandpa.”

Roland: “…”
