I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

"So, gentlemen, you know where the last fragment is, right?"

Rolland was brought back to his senses by Lara's excited voice.

Roland looked at the young man, his gaze gradually falling on a ring on the middle finger of Roland's left hand that looked familiar to Roland.

"Was Little Amber your former mentor?"

Lady Amber is the witch of the previous generation and the vice-principal of the White Chess Academy of this generation.

For the younger generation, Ms. Amber's age is obviously a secret, but everyone knows that she is from the previous era.

Roland looked to be only twenty years old, and it felt rather incongruous for him to call her "Little Amber."

Upon hearing this, Lorato tensed up. He had finally confirmed who this person was—not only his mentor, but also practically his father-in-law.

Because Miss Amber was raised by his wife.

"No, no, no, sir," Lolato explained somewhat flusteredly, "Miss Amber has never been my mentor; she has always been acting as a substitute for my students."

Roland nodded, understanding what was going on.

The two have already pledged their lives to each other and are probably discussing announcing their relationship. If people believe that Amber was once Laurence Olivier's mentor, it would damage her reputation.

Especially in places like White's pieces.

Back then, Catherine and Roland were just senior and junior classmates, meeting only briefly at a cabin in the Black Forbidden Forest because they hadn't seen each other in a long time. When the White Queen found out, she flew into a rage.

Of course, the two of them didn't do anything good when they met.

Brianna's eyes lit up, and she said, "Little Amber? This girl is indeed remarkable. By my standards, she was already considered a forbidden wizard after you brought her out of the Crystal Gem Basin of the Kingdom of Arda when she was thirteen years old."

I've read her papers from recent years, and each one is more outstanding than the last. Especially the last few, which can be said to have completely inherited your mantle.

"If you, lazybones, stop doing research in the future, she'll definitely surpass you."

Brianna was already dressed in designer clothes, and Lara Tu stood to the side with her head down, not daring to utter a sound.

Roland thought to himself, 'That little girl Amber is quite something. When she covered Crystal Village with canvas and claimed that this was magic, I realized that she did have a completely different understanding of magic from everyone else.'

When I began to teach her magic, I was convinced that her future was limitless, so I accepted her as a student.

As expected, in just a few days, she created a forbidden spell called "Rainbow Divine Bird," which terrified me, her mentor.
I've always wanted to teach her properly, but I haven't had the time. So I sent her to my senior's classmate.

Later, the senior student ran out of time, so the White Queen personally took care of her from then on.
In the words of her senior, this girl will definitely inherit her mantle in the future.

Like her senior, she understood Bai Qi's methods, but she understood Hei Yuan's methods even better.

Therefore, she will surely be able to inherit her senior's mantle in the future.

But she can't inherit my mantle.

Because this child is not crazy at all.

Like her senior, she was too rational. And too obsessed with order and logic.

For a wizard researching forbidden magic, reason and systematic logical thinking are indispensable. But for a wizard researching the Wheel of Madness, it is a constraint.

Because the study of epilepsy requires a bit of error; only accidental errors can spark strange flashes of inspiration.

Therefore, those papers were definitely not written by Amber, but by her junior apprentice, or rather, her junior classmate.

It was the same back then. It was clearly Roland's paper, but my senior helped me organize and publish it—sometimes she even saw it secretly.

Subsequently, the paper became the senior student's. Roland wasn't even given a corresponding author position!
To paraphrase my senior, "Hehe, Roland, you're too young. You can't handle such a high-profile reputation."

If it's discovered that you wrote it, you'll be arrested and sent to the Vermeer Mental Hospital for research. So, I'm doing this to protect you. Hahaha~~" She spoke with a high-sounding voice, but in reality, it was vanity at play—she was extremely jealous of Roland and couldn't stand seeing Roland being more famous and capable than herself.

Little Amber must have said something similar to Little Lolato. But Roland knew that Amber wasn't acting out of vanity. She genuinely wanted to protect Lolato.

Someone like Loratu is highly sought after in the Black Abyss and Twilight. Especially the Twilight wizards, who love students who are geniuses with a touch of madness.

But Rollatu is white.

In Black Abyss and Twilight, if an apprentice can instantly understand and learn magic such as 'skinning and dismembering' or 'bone-carving and heart-ripping,' and is particularly interested in and skilled at it, then the mentors will definitely give them a thumbs up and say that the child has potential.

But if you put the white pieces on the board, people would think that this child is born bad.

If he has a position, like a pillar of the White Chess Tower, or a vice dean like Amber, then he can research anything.

But he was just a lowly apprentice, and a commoner apprentice with only seven elemental aptitude and no background in the wizarding world.

To put it bluntly, he couldn't handle this controversial reputation, so Amber took it away for him, hoping to return it to him when he had a real powerful backer in the future. She also planned to announce their relationship at that time.

This powerful backer is naturally Roland.

So Amber arranged for Lara to come over.

With a sigh, Roland looked at the 'Wind Prince Ring' on Lola's finger, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He now feels like an old father who gave his precious daughter his darling, only for the daughter to then give the darling to her boyfriend.

I'm a little annoyed.

Roland, with a stern face, inquired about the things Lauratu had studied before, and then discovered that the kid's statement that 'Amber is just my senior' was not a lie.

Because Amber simply couldn't teach him. She could only explore it with Lara Tu.

Given Amber's personality, she wouldn't accept this student. So she must have been accepting him as a disciple on Roland's behalf, and then mentoring him as a senior student.

The incident involving Amber and Lolato reminded Roland of his senior, Catherine, and also of the things that Catherine and Olivia had twice asked him to do—to talk to Mario and have the Pope secretly provide false testimony that they were already married.

But now there has been a new breakthrough in the matter of the Holy See, and it is at a crucial juncture. Roland now wants to strike while the iron is hot and lay out the general framework and roadmap for everyone.

As for the fake marriage, it shouldn't matter if it's delayed by a few days.

At that moment, Roland suddenly felt something vibrating at his waist. Startled, he touched it and discovered it was his Alaye Notebook.

This book hasn't been updated like this in a very, very long time since Roland got on the right track in this world.

So much so that Roland had forgotten about this "cheat code".

He picked up the book and glanced at it. Then he gave a very strange look.

At this moment, Roland finally understood what his 'cheat code' really was.

He suddenly changed his mind and decided not to stay in the library to help everyone build any frameworks.

He closed the book and said to Loratu, "Loratu, you heard it too, the whereabouts of the fragments have been determined."

So, the jigsaw puzzle work can be paused. Next, I need you to figure out a way to input all the old scriptures into this 'computer'.”

Roland reached out and patted the half-person-high crystal mirror. Like his sister O'Reilly, he habitually called this thing a computer.

"Then, I will guide you to analyze the truth of the Holy See, and after you have learned it, you will compile this knowledge into reference books and teaching materials."

Upon hearing this, Lolato's expression changed. He asked, "Master, you're not planning to go to Lady Zoe and then use yourself as a 'human brain-computer interface' to connect to the Dawn of Light, are you?"

Roland said, "It's time to get it up and working." (End of Chapter)
