I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 152 Inquisitor

As long as Miss Lilith is willing to reform herself and stop causing trouble, the White Chess Council will accept her.

At this moment, the large oil painting in the distance behind the three people suddenly moved, and then two wizards and an apprentice came out.

The witch took Roland to the other side to rest. The red-haired wizard came to Bruce and reported: "Kira found the relics of His Royal Highness Prince Charles."

After listening to this, Bruce shook his head and muttered, "It's better to die. What a fool!"

Charles possesses talent but no moral integrity, and he has no respect for his elders. He has only achieved his current status thanks to the care of the White Queen. Therefore, Dean Bruce has a negative impression of Prince Charles.

What's more, Charles should take full responsibility for this incident!

If Bruce had followed his earlier plan, the apprentices wouldn't have jumped directly into the danger zone. Instead, they would have started from the edge. After all, the Twilight Wizards had already flashed their nameplates, telling the White Council they were heading to the danger zone. The ground was already mapped out!

As a result, the ignorant Prince Charles not only wanted to lead the group directly into the danger zone and confront the Twilight disciples, but also insisted on landing in the center area!
Plans were changed as a result.

Prince Charles is a formal wizard with hidden strength, not an apprentice. As the only formal wizard to follow an apprentice into the forbidden area, he should shoulder his responsibilities.

As a result, this loser not only died as soon as he came up, but also killed all the new blood!
Over a hundred people! Over a hundred truly outstanding apprentices!
A total of 5 came back!
Dean Bruce's heart is bleeding.

They were all descendants of the White School of Wizardry! Many of them were descendants and relatives of Bruce's friends. They had entrusted their families to him, and yet they all died!
How am I going to explain this to everyone when I get back?!

Charles, that loser, is to blame, but as the leader of this forbidden trial, I have to take the blame for him!

Let that guy die, and that's a fig leaf for the White Chess family. The school can say he died in battle, not out of stupidity!

Coming back to his senses, Dean Bruce of the White Chess Branch looked at the boy named Roland. He nodded secretly and gave him a good evaluation in his heart.

Then, Bruce withdrew his gaze and asked about the current situation of the red-haired wizard's forbidden area.

At this time, Ying Tao, who was standing by, had already gone over to greet Roland after seeing him come out.

"I knew you couldn't die!"

Out of habit, she wanted to hold the apprentice's head in her arms to comfort him. But as she walked over, she realized the significant height difference between them. So she grabbed Roland's arm.

Miss Yingtao was so anxious. If this brat died, how would she explain to Catherine?

Oh yes, it seems that he is his student!
She pulled Roland aside and examined him thoroughly. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she discovered that he was only depleted of magic power and nothing serious was wrong.

Roland asked, "Teacher, Andy and Charlie haven't come back yet?"

Yingtao picked up the thin pipe and said, "Almost all of them are dead."

Angel, also known as Lilith, and Charlie are still alive. The vice president, or perhaps the president, Andy, was rescued, but his fate is uncertain. As for Lance and Alex, they are both dead.

Roland sighed after hearing this.

Just a few days ago, we were all playing cards together on the road. Now there are only two and a half of the four gambling gods left, so we can't play anymore.

Ying Tao said, "It's already good enough that some people are able to survive. It's also thanks to Angel, or rather, Lilith."

Yingtao looked at Roland with dissatisfaction. Her students probably knew long ago that Angel was Lilith, but they had kept it a secret from her.

The same thing happened to that old man Wusak, he must have known about it, but he hid it from his lovely student (Yingtao was once a student of Vice Dean Wusak).

When Roland heard Yingtao mention Lilith, his face froze. He said, "Angel is actually Lilith. You've been hiding this from me for so long. Hey, mentor, will the White Wizards deal with her?"

Lilith had been involved in a lot of trouble before. When Roland first arrived, she kidnapped a large group of people and extorted a large sum of money from the White Wizards.

Ying Tao snorted and said, "Don't worry, the white chessmen won't make things difficult for your little lover. However, when she was taken away, she revealed you - she said that you were half responsible for this matter (stopping the holy servant)."

Roland's face turned very ugly, and he cursed in his heart: "Why did she bring me into this?"

Ying Tao said, "If someone comes to investigate and ask you questions, don't be secretive. Just tell them everything you have to say. The survivors have said everything they can. Miss Qila is the Inquisitor. She has been leading the rescue team in the forbidden area for two or three days. She knows everything there."

Roland couldn't help but look at the powerful witch not far away.

Miss Kira was also looking at Roland. When Roland looked over, she turned her head away, avoiding Roland's gaze.

Yingtao frowned and said, "Qira and I are not that familiar with each other. Does that girl know you? She has been staring at us two."

Roland's face was full of confusion.

At this time, a group of Baiqi senior apprentices came over and checked his physical and mental condition.

During this process, Yingtao, as a mentor and guardian, naturally did not leave and kept holding Roland's arm.

The white chess witch did not leave either. She stood not far away with a stern face, communicating with some senior apprentices about other things.

After a quick inspection, Roland suddenly remembered Joan and hurriedly pulled the unconscious Joan out of the dimensional bag.

He laid Joan flat, touched her neck, and after confirming her condition, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to the senior apprentices around him, "Let's check his condition first."

When the many apprentices in the tower saw that this was one of their own, and moreover the vice-president of the magician's guild, they couldn't help but give Roland a thumbs-up.

Everyone knew which area Roland had returned from. To get back from there, he had to first face the divine servant, then quickly find a path uncovered by the desert before it covered the central area.

I don’t know how many Twilight disciples I would encounter along the way. In this situation, I was still willing to save people and was able to save them.

Many apprentices in the tower were full of admiration for this young scholar.

There is a spell on the straps on Joan's chest. It cannot be discovered unless she takes off all her clothes and unties the straps.

The apprentices also used spells to perform examinations and treatments without taking off their clothes, so Roland was relieved.

"Oh, what a beauty! No wonder our little Grape is willing to save her." Yingtao on the side suddenly shouted exaggeratedly.

Miss Qila, who was not far away, frowned and looked over here, but found Yingtao squinting at her, and she could not help but avoid Yingtao's gaze in panic.

Roland hurriedly explained, "I'm a man, don't talk nonsense."

If this gets to my senior sister's ears, I'll be clogged with mud. It'll be shit anyway.

In the distance, Miss Kira's ears twitched, and her expression brightened considerably. But when she looked over here curiously and saw that Joan was a very, very handsome 'boy', she couldn't help but frown again.

There were some things Kira needed to confirm. Seeing that Roland was fine, he went to ask him a few questions.

Roland had already explained some of the things that happened in the forbidden area to Miss Kira and the wizard when he came out. Now he just added a few questions.

Yingtao hadn't heard Roland's narration yet, so she followed suit and asked.

Next, Roland recounted the events of the past few days to Yingtao's questioning. He naturally didn't mention the Red Skull or the desert crossing. He simply explained that with June's guidance, they quickly reached the other side of the desert. There was still an area on the east side that wasn't covered by the desert, so he used June's magical item to quickly fly over.

As for the tree, there is no way to hide it.

So, Roland, like Lilith, made the same decision - to sell out his teammates.

Lilith had made me do this. My original intention in getting the sapling was to run away with it, to prevent Lilith from causing trouble and getting involved.

At this point, he looked at Miss Kira and said, "My Lord, every word I say is true. I have not concealed anything."

Miss Kira ignored Roland. She glanced at the apprentice and went to report to Bruce with a few students who had just taken notes.

After listening to this, Bruce shook his head secretly.

Compared to that idiot Prince Charles, Catherine's fiancé truly surprised Bruce. He was clearly just a Mudblood, a marginal figure with little hope, yet he had saved countless lives in this difficult situation.

After Lilith and the others returned, everyone believed that Roland, who was teleported to the South District, would become a sacrifice to another servant of God, just like Prince Charles.

But the situation is completely reversed.

Let’s not talk about Lilith’s purpose in giving Roland that special sapling.

But judging from Lilith's confession, the boy had never agreed at first, but after he learned that he could leave after getting the potion, he suddenly asked Lilith for the sapling.

Bruce believed this cautious little ranger wasn't cooperating with Lilith. Instead, he was afraid Lilith would cause trouble and implicate him. He asked for the sapling so he could run away with it.

So, this is a little sly guy with a very conscientious mind.

Judging from the feedback from the first rescue team, the tree was planted by this guy after all, but it was planted on the body of that servant of God!

In that situation, the little wizard was very wise to be able to make such a decision calmly and try to let the Shepherd Tree destroy the arrival of God's servant.

Judging from the wizards' investigation results on the anchor point, this kid's original landing place was quite a distance away from there!

He was teleported together with another group of magicians. Given the personalities of the Black Abyss apprentices, it was impossible for them to follow them.

Even if he accidentally ran into the open space later, he could have chosen to run away - if he ran, he would surely die.

But he lived towards death, and this decision also allowed him to truly survive.

This is Dayong.

He looked at the unconscious Joan on Roland's side and breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Joan had been rescued. At least he could give an explanation to Joan's father.

Bruce's gaze towards Roland became softer.

Dean Usak had been listening silently to the White Wizards' conversation. Seeing another person flying over from the distant tower, he couldn't help but say, "Bruce, Roland should be the last one. Don't wait any longer. Let's go to the tower and take a look."

Bruce gave some more instructions to Kira and the wizard, then left.

Qila led his men to inspect the camp and gave them some instructions. As they walked, they happened to come across Roland, so they inspected the area again.

At this time, Qiong had been taken away by the apprentices in the tower for treatment, and Yingtao was still here.

Miss Qila pricked up her ears as Yingtao said, "The father of that handsome boy is an important senator in Parliament. He also holds some territories. With this connection, you should have more options when it comes to territorial matters."

She hugged Roland's arm again and said, "Of course, you can also go find your sweetheart. Next time you two secretly date, you should coax her well."

Roland immediately interrupted, "Miss Yingtao, please don't talk nonsense. Her Highness Catherine and I are not even familiar with each other, so there's no such thing as a date."

"My little grape, sweet grape. Sister has known about the two of you for a long time."

Yingtao leaned on Roland's shoulder and said, "Just coax her like you did to me last time. Don't worry, I won't be jealous."

Roland's face was filled with question marks. He pushed Miss Yingtao away and said, "Teacher, what are you talking about?"

At this moment, he heard a cold voice behind him: "Master Roland, please come here. There are some issues here that require your cooperation in the investigation."

Roland turned around and saw Miss Kira. He quickly got up and followed her.

Yingtao, who was standing aside, narrowed her eyes as she watched Qira's departing back.

On this side, Roland saw that Miss Qila's face was very cold, and he followed her nervously to her tent.

"Has something gone wrong? Has my killing of my fellow disciples been exposed, or has the secret of crossing the desert been discovered?"

Roland reviewed the entire incident several times and felt that there should be no problem. He thought to himself, "Calm down! Calm down! There's no witness to these things, so they can't deal with me immediately. As long as I stick to my confession and get through this interrogation, I'll have a chance to leave here."

Full of thoughts, Roland followed Miss Kira into the tent.

After entering, Miss Qila leaned against the stone table with a frosty face, then nodded her chin and asked Roland to sit on the chair in front of her.

This was a mid-level first-order wizard, even more powerful than Lord Vidal. Roland didn't dare to act rashly in front of her and sat down on the chair, pretending to be calm.

He looked at 'Inspector' Kira with feigned confusion and asked politely, "Sir, what investigation do you require my cooperation in?"

Miss Kira folded her arms across her chest and squinted her eyes as she looked Roland up and down for a long time. There was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

Roland was terrified in front of this powerful and assertive Inquisitor. He thought to himself, "What's behind this murderous aura?"

After a moment, she finally asked the first question: "When did you and Yingtao go to bed?"

Roland was stunned. He subconsciously scratched his ears and asked, "What did you just say?"

The Inquisitor asked with her eyes blazing, "What is the relationship between you and your mentor?"

Roland was stunned for a long time and asked, "Of course it's the relationship between teacher and student, etc. Lord Kira, is this matter related to the forbidden area?"

With a snap, Kira's palm slapped the stone table, creating a large number of cracks. Immediately, Roland's hands were bound to the chair, and his magic power was also imprisoned.

Master Qila said, "You answer whatever I ask!"

Roland was horrified. His mind raced for a long time, thinking to himself, "Why is there such a big fuss? What on earth has been exposed? Could it be that this is related to Ying Tao? Is she a spy? That's not right. Ying Tao is my senior's person. How could she be a spy?"

"I'm asking you something!"

The Inquisitor shouted, startling Roland so much that he trembled all over. Inquisitor Kira's eyes flashed with coldness as she asked, "How did you coax her last time?"

Roland was completely bewildered. He asked, "Sir, what does my coaxing of Yingtao have to do with this investigation?"

Inquisitor Miss Kira nodded deeply and said through gritted teeth, "I heard it. It seems that you really got involved with her. You ungrateful man!"

As she spoke, she reached for the French sword at her waist. It seemed as if she was about to chop Roland alive in the next second—using magic wouldn't satisfy her hatred!

As she drew her sword, she shouted angrily, "Roland, you deserve to die! You deserve to be cut into pieces! I've traveled so far into the desert searching for you in vain."

"and many more!"

Roland was terrified. He waved his hand hastily and said, "Allow me to say a few words."

Inquisitor Miss Kira uttered a single word through gritted teeth: "Speak."

Roland said, "First of all, I don't know what you're investigating, but if it's Ying Tao, how could I possibly be related to her? I'm not even familiar with her!"

Inquisitor Miss Kira said: "Bullshit! Just now..."

Roland interrupted, "Please listen to me first—regardless of my character, I think you should know the character of my fiancée."

Inquisitor Miss Kira seemed quite interested in this matter and asked, "Well, so, in your eyes, what kind of person is Her Highness Catherine?"

Roland hesitated for a moment. He glanced at the sword in the witch's hand, then looked around suspiciously. After making sure there were no such eyes behind him, he coughed and whispered:
"Katherine is a bit petty."

Inspector Miss Kira: “?”

Roland said: "She is not only jealous. She is also a thief."

As she spoke, Roland felt that the murderous intent in the prosecutor's eyes seemed to be growing stronger.
