I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

The night is when the Blood-Depleted Warlocks are most active, and with the recent incident, the entire Blood-Depleted Fortress is on high alert.

Roland and the other two absolutely cannot leave their rooms tonight, but his doppelganger can go out and continue to monitor the situation at the laboratory.

Thinking of this, Roland looked at the divine bird statue on Leona's shoulder.

Subsequently, the parrot-sized divine bird suddenly came to life, and Leona suddenly disappeared, seemingly possessing the divine bird.

The little divine bird flew around Roland's hand twice.

Roland took off the dimensional bag on its back and the ring on its foot, then reached out and kneaded it.

The little divine bird was like plasticine, constantly changing its appearance.

After kneading for a while, Roland thought about stuffing the small dimensional bag and ring into this ball of 'amber mud'.

"With Leona here, my doppelganger's ability to escape is a hundred times better than mine. Even Baron Blood-Depleted's phantom couldn't catch it!

Now that the Blood-Depleted Fortress is in turmoil, it's safest to keep my property with the doppelganger."

As Roland continued to knead, a bat appeared in Roland's hand.

After examining the little bat for a while, Roland nodded and muttered: "The plasticity of my amber doppelganger is really high. I need to study necromancy (anatomy), painting, and sculpture more in my spare time... It really looks alike."

Roland tried to sense the little bat with his divine sense, and felt something like a 'wooden sculpture' or 'amber gemstone'.

As long as the bat perched on the castle's wooden decorations, it would be difficult to distinguish it.

"However, upon closer inspection, it can still be seen. When I have time, I should dissect, sculpt, and paint more animals."

The bat opened its mouth and spoke human language: "It's almost ready. There are many bats in the Blood-Depleted Fortress, plus the concealment technique and Leona's blink. Even Senior Sister can't detect it... With Senior Sister's strength, if she can't detect it, there shouldn't be many people in the Blood-Depleted Fortress who can. As long as I don't get too close to the Tier 2 Warlock, there shouldn't be any problems."

Roland frowned and said: "Don't be careless, I always feel that the Countess is unusual. Try to stay away from her. If she's in the lab, don't go in."

The bat said: "Got it, got it, I'll just go and keep an eye on things, I won't provoke that woman... Alas, half of me is resting, and half of me is working overtime. I don't know if this counts as rest or overtime."

After a pause, the bat showed a sluggish expression: "Every time the memories merge, I feel a little dazed. Like now, I really can't tell if I danced with Senior Sister today, or if I was playing hide-and-seek with Mother Heraca..."

Roland quickly waved his hand to interrupt it: "Stop, stop! Thinking too much will drive you crazy—you have to think this way, we are indeed one person, but we are in different timelines, living one day as two!

The bat's eyes lit up, and it laughed: "I understand! I understand!

I'm so smart, the number between 3 and 4!"

Roland's eyes also lit up suddenly: "That's about the idea! For others, one day is 24 hours, but for me, one day is 48 hours!

I have 24 hours hidden inside another 24 hours."

The bat excitedly interjected: "That's right, 'yesterday' I was playing hide-and-seek with Mother Heraca, and today I'm dancing with Senior Sister's butt in my arms!"

【You have comprehended! Heraca Theology Comprehension + 8】

【You have comprehended! Sculpture Comprehension + 7】

【You have comprehended! Painting Comprehension + 6】

Roland went crazy to himself for a while, then the bat told Roland to rest well tonight, and flew away.

Roland's bat doppelganger will be highly focused tonight, which is very mentally exhausting. And the Blood-Depleted Fortress is now on high alert, so he must maintain a good condition.

Therefore, the doppelganger needs to come back from time to time to merge thoughts, or recharge.

It's like two batteries, if both are used up, they have to be charged together.

But if one is used up and the other is full, then when they are kneaded together, they will become one half-full big battery. After separating, they are two half-full batteries, rather than one empty and one full.

Roland sorted out his thoughts, then walked out of the study.

In the corner of the living room were some female officials, either cleaning the room or chatting softly by the window. They all tried to minimize their presence, so as not to disturb the guests' interest.

Seeing Roland, they didn't come forward to ask if he needed assistance, but just nodded and smiled very implicitly.

It's quite pleasing to the eye to have some beautiful ladies in the room.

Anna was趴on the railing of the balcony looking at the night view. For her, this castle was like a cage.

It was still drizzling outside, and the fine wind and rain rustled her clothes and long hair, wetting her body.

I have to say, from the perspective of a sculptor, it is difficult to find a model more perfect in body shape than Miss Anna Knight.

She has the flavor of that classical goddess statue, or a living ancient primitive god.

Elegant, mysterious, yet full of wildness.

There was not a trace of赘肉on her slender thighs, and when she趴there, she revealed a perfect shape of her翘挺butt.

Anna suddenly frowned and turned her head, finding Roland was setting up dishes on the table in the living room.

She didn't know when Roland appeared in the living room. This guy was proficient in 'Shata' metaphysics, and his level of concealment and convergence of aura was catching up with Lilith.

In addition, he often 'played' with Anna, and learned many of Anna's sneaking skills.

Sometimes he obviously didn't deliberately hide, but it was difficult to detect. As long as you couldn't see him, it was as if this person wasn't standing in the room.

The dishes were still hot, and there were many things, very rich, a full-fledged small banquet.

Anna suddenly felt a little hungry, she扶着the long sword at her waist and walked over, her amber eyes staring at Roland like a man-eating cat.

The corners of Roland's mouth twitched slightly. Every time Anna was hungry, she had a strong aggressiveness.

Every time he cooked food for her, Roland always felt that Anna, who was standing aside waiting, didn't want to eat food, but wanted to eat him.

'The ancient god wants to eat me, Mother Heraca wants to eat me, and Anna also wants to eat me...Am I Tang Sanzang?'

Roland coughed, gave a slight salute, and said: "Please enjoy, Miss Elena."

Roland called Anna by her full name, his words full of refusal.

After speaking, Roland went upstairs, and the gaze behind him disappeared only after Roland went up the stairs and turned the corner.

Upstairs, in the living room outside Senior Sister's bedroom, sat two female officials, quietly flipping through books.

Seeing Roland coming upstairs, the two ladies looked at each other, then their faces turned slightly red, revealing some gossipy looks.

Although the gossipy look was well hidden, it was still discovered by Roland.

Roland couldn't help but think of what happened in the dance hall.

He did discover some changes in the carvings in the hall during the ball, but he didn't deliberately create an excuse to leave by holding Anna for Senior Sister to see.

He just deliberately showed it to Senior Sister.

When he was young, Baron Hall had taught Roland a sentence:

When the woman you like is deliberately hanging you, or simply ignoring you. Then go find another one you are sure you can get.

If the first one comes back to you, you hang the second one. If the first one doesn't come back to you... anyway, you have one in your hand.

Similarly, if you attend a dance with two ladies, and the one you like doesn't have a cold for you, then chat with her best friend.

If the one you like is very interested in you, then don't neglect her best friend.

Senior Sister didn't seem to buy this trick too much. Since coming out of the ball, she hadn't said a word to Roland, nor had she looked at Roland.

But Roland was confident that Senior Sister would invite him into her boudoir.

After all, the two of them were here to do a mission, not to fall in love. Senior Sister is such a serious person, even if she is very angry, she will not delay serious business because of emotional matters.

As for whether Roland came here just to talk about serious business, or if he wanted to sleep in Senior Sister's boudoir to recharge tonight, only he knew.

Roland didn't knock on the door directly. He told the female official that he had something to talk to the princess about. He also secretly handed the female official a small bag of magic stones, expressing his hope to chat with Her Highness in the inner room.

The female official 'understood'.

This baron阁下with a ruined reputation... is really speechless. The殿下and him were not very close, and he was沾花惹草everywhere, causing the殿下to lose face in public.

Now it's so late, and he's still disturbing the殿下's rest, I really don't know what he's thinking.

However, since he used the excuse of having something to do, presumably the殿下will still see him.

But probably it won't be long before he is kicked out.

Although the Thousand-Eyed King doesn't pay as much attention to bloodlines as the White Queen, the陛下will still be unhappy if the殿下gets too close to someone like this.

After all, it's too damaging to reputation.

What's more, he's going to receive Heraca's or Blood-Depleted's imprisoned seed, and reaching the second tier will be the ceiling for this life.

Therefore, the female officials are not optimistic about this Roland勋爵. If he is kicked out later, everyone will be happy to see it happen.

Taking people's money and helping them eliminate disasters, the female official's eyes turned, and she came up with an excuse for Roland to enter the bedroom.

Then she whispered: "Roland勋爵阁下, I can't guarantee whether the殿下will receive you in the bedroom. However, when I talk to the殿下, Julie can find an excuse to call out the person on duty in the副房inside for you."

As she spoke, she pointed with her chin at the female official not far away who hadn't received money, hinting that Roland should give two portions of money.

She said, "That way, Her Highness might let you stand in the side room and chat with 'Half-Wall'."

Roland thought to himself, 'Don't worry, Senior, you will definitely receive me. I'm not looking for you to help, but to lure your informants out.'

Roland pretended to be very understanding and thanked her, then stuffed two more small bags of magic stones into her hands. There were three female officials in total, one bag of magic stones for each.

The female official discreetly felt the bag and, discovering that there were actually a hundred or so magic stones inside, couldn't help but smile.

Regardless, this scumbag is quite generous.

She instructed, "Stay honestly behind the half-wall, and don't enter the bedroom. Otherwise, if Her Highness gets angry, don't expect us to say good things for you."

Roland readily agreed.

With the thought of watching a good show, the two female officials went in to report.

As they expected, Her Highness Catherine really didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but after hesitating for a moment, she still let him in.

The two female officials found a reason to call the female official in the side room out, then they invited Roland into the room, and then very tactfully closed the door and left.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

Walking out of the entrance hall, Roland glanced at the side room by the door, and then walked directly into Catherine's large bedroom.

Catherine was drinking tea and reading a book on the sofa next to the fireplace.

She was still wearing that whalebone corset, and she didn't know why she hadn't taken it off. She only wore a light robe over it.

The small clothes, skirts, etc. had all been taken off, and under the tea table were the noble gartered black stockings, half-hidden under the robe.

There seemed to be many exquisite patterns on the stockings. Wait, weren't the maids changing her clothes in the cloakroom?

Why didn't Senior change the whalebone corset and garter stockings when someone was helping her?

Also, had she worn these stockings before?

Could it be that she wore them specifically for me to see?

Does she know I like black?!

Roland couldn't help but swallow.

This matter can't be guessed wrong. She is bursting with anger now.

If guessed right, it would be 'Ah ha! I like black the most, let me play with it properly!', then throw the female boss on the bed, and then kiss her well from bottom to top, bullying her.

But if guessed wrong, I'm afraid my life will not be saved.

Seeming to feel Roland's gaze, Catherine pulled her robe, and Roland lost his chance to feast his eyes.

Catherine didn't let Roland stand in the side room and talk to her across the half-wall. If he stood there, the female officials outside might secretly use their divine sense to snoop and eavesdrop.

But the female officials didn't dare to probe their divine sense into the bedroom. Their realm was higher than Roland's, but not as high as Catherine's.

Catherine knew that Roland probably had something important to discuss with her. Calculating the time, his clone might have returned once just now.

After Roland walked over, Catherine raised her head. There was no expression on her face, but from her eyes, one could see what she was thinking—'It's so late, you're making excuses to come in, it better be something important'.

Roland selectively told Catherine about the events on the clone's side.

As soon as Catherine heard it, she knew that Roland had caused trouble, but didn't dare to tell her more.

This damn guy!

Catherine was about to be pissed to death. The original good plan, what has this guy messed up!

She turned the ring on her hand silently, listening to Little Jimmy's heart, while patiently listening to Roland's sophistry.

Roland said, ".You know, after the Earl was seriously injured this time, some problems seemed to have occurred. He was like a pile of deformed rotten meat, placed in a large tank in the laboratory.

This pile of rotten meat infected some people, and Baron Bloodbane could project onto these people.

When it happened, I was copying documents.

When I was flipping through a Heraka Scripture, I suddenly saw the warning given to me by the goddess.

She told me to quickly take out her idol—that is, the idol in the Heraka church that I took away according to your instructions. The Twilight Wizards seemed to describe her very clearly.

You know, I have always been a cautious and wise person, so I didn't do what she said.

But perhaps it was bad luck. When I left that place, I met someone similar to Maria. Baron Bloodbane smelled the aura of the Heraka nuns through her.

Baron Bloodbane was attracted and projected through that witch.

Afterwards, the statue forcibly flew out of my dimensional bag, and the goddess also projected through the statue!

Speaking of this, Roland saw that Senior was actually sneering.

Roland coughed a little guiltily and continued, "Seeing that more and more shadows refracted by Baron Bloodbane, the idol couldn't handle it at all. I re-described the idol in my hand based on the inspiration from Straw Town.

Perhaps it was the blessing of the goddess, I described a more perfect idol.

The power of the goddess projection became more, and successfully repelled Baron Bloodbane's phantom."

Catherine suddenly said, "Oh~~ so that's how it is, you are really quick-witted, Lord Roland."

Roland smiled awkwardly and said, "Thanks to the divine power of the Goddess Heraka, I am just a small, bystander, sculptor who didn't help at all (it was all done by the goddess, it has nothing to do with me) cough.

You suspected at the banquet before, whether something happened in Bloodbane Castle.

That's what happened.

During the time when Baron Bloodbane slowly projected over, the people of the entire Bloodbane Castle gradually turned into leeches.

Fortunately, I used the statue to shatter his phantom and temporarily cut off his projection process, so we didn't see any leeches at the next ball."

Catherine smiled more gently: "Thanks to you, Lord Roland, you turned the tide once again."

Roland smiled and said: "Thanks to you, I did some things I should do."
