I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Although Roland's mood was terrible, he put the rainbow matter aside for the moment and got down to business.

He wanted to poach someone, to get Avis, this court wizard, to leave.

However, Avis probably wouldn't leave with him easily. Although the Amir Kingdom's situation was terrible right now, once the rainbow disease was resolved, Avis would live a carefree life.

The king was the boss, and he was number two.

Why would he leave with him?

But whether it was through enticement or coercion, he had to achieve his goal. Otherwise, even if he solved the rainbow issue on his body next, he would still die in the butterfly calamity.

He absolutely couldn't respond to the conscription; he had to inherit the territory.

Therefore, he would have to make things difficult for Lord Avis. However, if he could agree, Roland would give him a benefit that would satisfy him greatly.

Of course, before that, he had to PUA these people, otherwise this matter wouldn't succeed.

Roland reached out and took the hot towel handed over by the witch, wiping his hands as he stepped down from the platform.

He glanced at the group of people and said, "The school shares knowledge with the Amir court and provides you with so many resources every year, yet it has raised a bunch of useless people like you!"

Roland looked at the seven people below the platform and said, "Seven court wizards who have graduated from advanced studies at the school, plus dozens of knights, and hundreds of fully armored infantry and cavalry. They were beaten by a group of bandits and shrank back into the castle, watching the queen being hung on a fiery stake by a group of bandits, not even daring to go out!

Are you wild wizards?!

You are not even as good as the children in our school who haven't graduated and haven't entered the high tower! Even the pets I raise are stronger than you!"

Roland was actually deliberately using PUA for the sake of poaching people. He was deliberately using the issue to make a fuss.

But to be honest, if it were Red Skull Aurelia and her group, they could indeed slaughter this group of 'Rainbow Bandits'.

Being both advanced apprentices, Avis, after being scolded by Roland, lowered his head and sweated, not daring to retort at all.

What was there to retort? This young master Roland was worth a small wizard团 all by himself!

Not to mention his personal strength, just the pet he had personally massaged on the experiment table half an hour ago... oh, that is, the eerie human skin banshee.

Just this human skin banshee alone was enough to give him a headache!

Therefore, Avis was very respectful. He obediently listened to young master Roland finish scolding people, squeezed out a smile, and flattered him:

"My lord, don't mention us wildlings. Even the advanced apprentices in various schools can't compare to you. We are honored to be your assistants today, assisting you in repelling this group of cultists."

After Avis started, many court wizards began to flatter him.

Roland didn't accept these flattery. He continued to reprimand until he was tired of hearing the flattery and the compliance test was almost done. Only then did he slightly relent and appease everyone a little.

Roland said, "You are considered not bad. Although you have the resources of the academy, you ultimately cannot compare with the school wizards. You have managed to cultivate to this level, which can be considered as outstanding talent. It's just that you have never been able to enter the real wizarding world, so no matter how high your comprehension is, you can only play in the mud in this pond."

Everyone felt a little heartbroken. It was simply pouring salt on the wound.

The territory of the White Chess School is different from the territory of the Black Abyss School. On the Black Abyss side, any personal school will accept you. As long as you are willing to pay the price, the door to truth will be opened for you.

However, the White Chess School pays great attention to bloodlines. Wizards who come from Muggles cannot enter the school. Sharing some knowledge with them for self-study is already considered good.

Speaking of this, Roland was too lazy to continue to beat around the bush with them. He directly expressed his need for retainers, wanting to see what they thought.

He told these people about his upcoming conferment as a wizard lord—I have a lot of resources! I can lead you through the door!

He also revealed his background.

The closed-door disciple of the Lord of the Serpent Tower, the chief heir of Alexandra, and the fiancé of the White Chess Princess. He even stated his relationship with several councilors (pure bragging) and the friendship with wizard lords in several neutral territories (embellishment).

Although Avis was a very qualified advanced apprentice and had a lot of knowledge, he was not from the wizarding world after all. Moreover, many things about Alexandra's status, etc., even most wizards were not so clear about.

Naturally, he didn't know how unpopular Roland, this son-in-law, was with the White Chess and Alexandra families.

Therefore, no matter how you looked at it, Roland was a super second-generation noble with a good background and a lot of ability. If he could become his retainer, his future would definitely be limitless.

Moreover, this young master Roland also said that after serving for him, he would find some connections to arrange a good place for them to serve. He wouldn't send them into a fire pit.

And he would give a large sum of money and a magical item.

The quota was limited; he only planned to recruit one.

Everyone had heard of the conscription order, but they didn't know the detailed rules, so they thought they all could go.

And the conditions Roland said all hit the pain points of these wizards struggling on the edge of the world of truth.

Many people's eyes turned red. Immediately, two people stood out, and the others hesitated for a moment and gritted their teeth, wanting to compete for it.

But!

The only advanced apprentice, Avis, didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just lowered his head, occasionally responding to Roland and flattering him.

He didn't respond at all to Roland's recruitment.

Roland cursed this old fox secretly several times and waved his hand to let the others leave.

When Avis saw this situation, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

As expected, this second-generation noble was coming for him!

Unlike ordinary secular wizards, Avis looked to be in his thirties, but was actually in his fifties or sixties. He had been to many places and experienced many small wars. He had even served for others.

He knew the cruelty of the battlefield.

Others hadn't seen Twilight Wizards, but he was clear about them.

If it was a civil war in the council, Avis might be tempted, but he was determined not to fight Twilight Wizards. No matter what this young master said, he wouldn't go.

Moreover, the White Chess School was already paying attention to the Amir Kingdom's affairs. If he persisted a little longer, he could continue to live his carefree life.

Why not live a good life and have to fight desperately?

No matter how good the conditions you promise, I have to have the life to take it!

Avis was determined not to go.

But Roland was determined to rely on him.

If he couldn't persuade this person, he might not be able to meet such a suitable one again.

Therefore, even if he used some immoral tricks, he had to get this done!

Seeing that everyone else had left, Roland looked at Avis with a fake smile: "Lord Avis, no one will be able to cover up the things you have done in the Amir Kingdom."

Avis was stunned for a long time and asked, "My lord, what have I done?"

Roland stroked his chin, looking out the window and thinking, "I'm also thinking now, what exactly have you done? Hmm, the Comb Army, the Crystal Princess Disease, a Twilight Wizard spy… Lord Avis, which crime do you think is more suitable?

Avis, the timing of this year's Crystal Princess Disease is too coincidental. The council is currently in a state of distress, and such a big thing has broken out in the heartland under its rule.

The Comb Army also came too coincidentally these two days. The Amir Kingdom has only moved here for a few days, and many lords don't know about this. But he arrived at Green Lake Manor, and the Comb Army arrived right after."

Roland looked at Lord Avis and asked, "Tell me, if the palace is clean, how would a group of bandits get the king's itinerary? Heh heh."

Avis's face suddenly became very ugly, and he said, "My lord, I don't understand what you mean by this. But this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me. In a few days, the lords of the school will also arrive together. Regarding the plague and today's matter, I think the school will give a fair result."

Roland looked into Avis's eyes and said, "Avis, I'm telling you, I am justice!

I'll be frank with you, I have prepared a total of three thousand magic stones and two magical items. I have also prepared two choices for you.

In the first choice, I will give all these things to my classmates and colleagues… that is, the fair judges you mentioned. Then I will buy a prisoner from them to go to the battlefield for me—on that battlefield, I will not allow anyone to give him any care!

In the second choice, I will reward these things to one person and let him become my retainer. Carrying the honor of Alexandra and Alaye, he will respond to the conscription order for me—I will find someone to take good care of him. Whether he goes to the war zone presided over by my mentor, the 'Lord of the Serpent Tower', or the war zone presided over by my mentor's friend's subordinates, he will be able to have a good time."

Roland ultimately became the person he hated the most.

Back then, Baron Hall used to fool him like this. At that time, Roland hated him to death.

Now, Roland has become Baron Hall, forcing Lord Avis.

Avis's face was ashen—animal! You are simply an animal!

Avis should have thought of it long ago!

He thought the person in front of him was too kind.

But is this person a kind person?

He is not!

He is not those White Chess Wizards.

He is a Black Abyss Wizard, the purest Serpent Tower Black Abyss Wizard!

What immoral things can't a Black Abyss Wizard do for profit?

Framing and coercion are nothing!

Roland leaned forward, slowly approaching Avis, looking at the wizard who appeared to be in his forties, and said, "Lord Avis, your aptitude isn't bad... tsk tsk tsk, if you were in our Black Abyss, you'd be considered half a wizard seed!

You not only have talent, but also great ability. To be able to rely on these secular resources to reach your current status and realm... I admire you very much.

But unfortunately, you were born in the territory of these White Chess wizards.

They are snobs!

If you follow them, you can only be a dog in this lifetime!

I've heard some rumors about you. You advanced to become a High Apprentice at the age of twenty-seven... tsk tsk tsk, that's really amazing. Many people in our school can't achieve your level at that age!

It's a pity that you were glorious in your early years, but now you've been languishing in the realm of High Apprentice for thirty years.

I can tell that you don't even seem to have tried to break through even once... What are you waiting for?

Are you waiting for the advancement potion?

Or are you not even thinking about becoming a real person!

Becoming a formal wizard, becoming someone who no one dares to treat like a dog anymore?"

Avis seemed to be electrocuted, his whole body trembled suddenly. He looked at Roland and asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

Roland didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "Avis, stop daydreaming. You don't have single-element affinity, nor do you have dual-element affinity. If you want to advance to become a formal wizard, you need a potion. How can you get this potion?

The latest novels are at Six Nine Books!

In each major school, there are only one hundred advancement potions for formal wizards every five years. Only those with sufficient merit can be allocated one.

Not to mention you, even many High Apprentices in the school don't have the opportunity to touch this potion in their lifetime.

Do you think you have a chance?

How can you get the potion?

Just rely on King Amir? A bastard son of the White Chess School tower master who can't even enter the gate?"

Avis was hit where it hurt the most, feeling extremely ashamed and indignant. He wanted to slam the table and leave, but the words that came to his mouth turned into: "Sir, I have four-element affinity. Without the potion, the possibility of advancing to become a formal wizard is no more than 20%."

Roland smiled and stretched out his hand. Above his palm appeared the magical radiance of 'five elements'.

Avis was shocked, he looked at the magical radiance in Roland's hand over and over again, and fell into self-doubt for a while.

Single-element affinity can also emit multi-element radiance through magic element conversion.

But the person in front of him didn't perform any magic element conversion.

So, he definitely has an affinity for these five elements.

— Five-element affinity? A High Apprentice with five-element affinity under the age of 20?!

A very complex look flashed in Avis's eyes.

Roland said: "Avis. Your current master is the ruler of a country. He also has a considerable background in the White Chess School, but he is not worthy to polish my shoes!

Don't you like to daydream?

I can make your dreams come true."

Avis's face changed again and again, and he asked, "Sir, can you really get me the advancement potion for a formal wizard?"

Roland lied without drafting: "Pick whichever you want."

Roland was bluffing, but he wasn't completely deceiving Avis.

The difference between the difficulty of his advancement and the difficulty of Avis's advancement is a full three orders of magnitude!

Not to mention that Roland has to 'transcend tribulation' when he advances to become a formal wizard!

Leaving aside the 'transcending tribulation' thing, he definitely has to get the potion, even if he has to risk his life. With the kind of precious potion he needs, even a little bit of leftover scraps would be enough for Avis to use.

Avis struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, sir, I can respond to your call-up order. But besides the potion, magic stones and wondrous items are indispensable. I'm going to risk my life for you, without this money and without these wondrous items to protect myself, I can't come back alive."

Roland held out two fingers and said, "One high-grade wondrous item, and one mid-grade defensive wondrous item."

Avis's eyes lit up, and he almost kowtowed. But then he felt sorrow from his heart and wanted to cry.

He has only managed to get one mid-grade wondrous item in his entire life!

As a result, in other people's hands, this thing is given away... What kind of High Apprentice is this? This is a newly promoted wizard lord!

Avis originally thought that this big boss would give a mid-grade wondrous item and a low-grade wondrous item, which would be pretty good. But he didn't expect Roland to give a high-grade wondrous item and a mid-grade defensive wondrous item.

This is equivalent to two high-grade wondrous items.

Avis is good at hiding and escaping. With these two wondrous items to protect himself, his confidence has greatly increased.

Moreover, the place has been arranged for him. This call-up is worth going to.

Avis no longer hesitated, and he said: "Then, sir, I will wait for your news. You know, although I am not a school wizard, as the chief court wizard of the secular king, I am registered in the school. Of course, this matter is also simple for you... Although the king will definitely not let me go, you can just tell the school, right?"

Roland hummed and didn't say much.

He's not going to say anything to the school.

Although he now has merit from the forbidden area, and his reputation is much better than before. But in the White Chess School, he is still 'the White Queen's most annoying son-in-law'.

In this White Chess School, there are many people who can't wait for him to go to the battlefield and never come back. It would be a miracle if he could get this done through the relationship of the White Chess Academy.

Therefore, if you want to poach people, you can't get around the king.

King Alfonso is, at worst, the ruler of a country, and also the son of the White Chess Tower Master. He is someone who has the protection of the council and his father.

If he really bites the bullet and refuses to let people go, Roland really has no way to deal with him.

But, Roland is confident about this matter.

Roland went to the king's place. In fact, the king had sent officials to invite Roland several times, but he didn't dare to disturb Roland's conversation with Avis.

The queen has just recovered from a serious illness, and has just experienced that disaster again. She is now constantly in a coma, so the king is very anxious.

Foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures. Obviously, the king has court wizards, but he came to Roland.

The king was in the queen's bedroom. There were many people standing in the large bedroom, and those court wizards who had been driven out by Roland before were also there.

Amber stood next to a court wizard, looking very depressed.

She originally wanted to cure the queen's illness. If she could cure the illness, she would be able to gain the king's trust and use this opportunity to present a new management plan for the Crystal Princess, and tell the truth about the 'Plague of Light'.

But Amber didn't know that the queen's illness was old news.

People had already been cured by Avis long ago. Previously, Avis was just lacking a few potions. After the news was announced, someone sent the potions over in less than two days.

Calculating the time, the queen's illness was cured a year ago.

As a result, Amber, this little girl from the countryside, didn't know about this at all. She still thought that she could get the king to believe that she could end the Crystal Princess disease by curing the illness.

At this time, the little girl Amber already knew about this, and had just seen the process of the court wizards and scholars diagnosing the queen. The lords were all very professional, and Amber felt very inferior and sad.

Although everyone was very polite to Amber, everyone in their hearts despised this local hillbilly wizard who had had the luck to be picked up by the wizard lord along the way.

No one believed that she was Roland's student. Nor did they believe in her level.

The little girl Amber was invisibly isolated and rejected.

Just as Amber was secretly feeling sad, Roland walked into the room.

He looked at the people in the room and pondered in his heart.

Roland didn't know that the little girl Amber had just been bullied, but he was thinking about how to bully this group of guys from the King.

Others are people who don't offend me, I don't offend people, what about Roland? He still plans to offend him? If he doesn't provoke him, he has to create a bunch of things.

The queen's bedroom is very large, but the bed is a bit short. When people sleep, they have to lean on several large pillows to sleep, and they can't stretch their legs when lying down.

It's not that the queen has any special habits, but that many nobles in the secular world are popular sleeping like this.

One is because of hairpins, and the other is because they believe that sleeping is related to death, and lying down to sleep is unlucky.

This saying is actually also popular among wizards... It was first spread from the wizards.

Some people think this is a superstition, and some people think it is related to the Heraka's shepherd.
