Chapter 268: Death under the Peony Flowers! The Evil Heroic Spirit!
Seeing Roland approach, the young Rolands said, "We just did some calculations. We originally thought the shackles were on 'Lorens.' But the god who used 'prophecy' wasn't very good. He had divine power but lacked a logical system to support it."

Basically an uneducated guy.

Anyway, the shackles created by his followers have all sorts of bugs—for example, if you change your real name while wearing them, then Lawrence's shackles are undone and placed on Roland Alayeh.

A name represents a person's concept of existence. The body, soul, past, future, destiny, history... are all related to the name.

When Roland is freed from his shackles, he will no longer be called "Roland." The shackles will not return to Roland.

Of course, there are actually simpler methods - such as splitting the soul, forging the soul, and copying the jailer's key. Various wizards have their own solutions.

Roland chose the most complicated plan because the shackles could be placed on the Red Saint at the same time.

Roland said, "So, I have to let the Red Saint wear my name first?"

Little Roland nodded and said, "Yes, to be exact, there will soon be another Red Saint named 'Roland Alayeh.' After all, we are all 'Roland Alayeh.'"

At this time, another little Roland dressed as an alchemist came over and handed Roland a bottle of potion. "Drink it first to increase your SAN value. There are over 0 little Rolands in the church now, so the random number of shackles is between 300 and .

The best case scenario was that after a few random hits, he would end up on the Red Saint. The worst case scenario was that he would end up on the Red Saint after all the Roland Alayehs were dead.

Although each of the more than 7 memories only lasts for days, the combined impact is still terrifying."

Another little Roland said, "How about trying to change the names of some of our people?"

Roland shook his head and said, "No need."

A little Roland picked up the magic mirror and pointed it at the cocoon, and gave the name "Roland Alayeh" to the Red Saint.

Then he pointed the magic mirror at Roland, preparing to change his name when Roland was freed from his shackles.

The little Roland holding the key looked at Roland and said seriously, "Are you ready to go crazy?"

"bring it on."

Roland drank the potion and held out his hands. Then Roland the Key unlocked his shackles. Roland the Mirror changed Roland's name.

Afterwards, everyone looked at the crowd outside the side hall.

Soon they discovered that sparks were constantly coming out of the bodies of the 'abstract straw Rolands' in the crowd - that was the damage caused by the collapse of magic power.

Little Rolands were reduced to mere straws one by one. Meanwhile, countless memories surfaced in Roland's mind.

In the first memory, I was standing in a crowd, chatting with another version of myself. Suddenly, a pair of shackles appeared on my hands. Then, my magic power quickly vanished.

After losing his magic power, he became pure straw.

In a certain memory, I was clearly chatting with myself, but I found that another self suddenly had a pair of shackles on his hands, and then that self was taken back.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of shackles suddenly appeared on his hands.

These memories kept recurring, along with all the things he had done in the past seven days: studying music, potions, alchemy, the Path of Truth, and swordsmanship.
Countless memories flooded into Roland's mind, and cold sweat streamed down his face.

[You've got it! Musical comprehension +56!]

[You've got it! Potions comprehension +43!]

[You've got it! Musical comprehension +60!]

[You've Got It! Rare Item Alchemy Comprehension +]

A large amount of memories caused Roland to be inexplicably washed into the world of the lower level.

Suddenly, Roland found himself sitting in the cabin.

Everyone in the cabin was asleep, only he and the enchanting and beautiful lady in front of him were awake.

The woman was standing in front of him with an ugly look on her face, dancing a striptease.

He said with a smile: "Your Excellency Earl Belinda. Oh, I'll just call you by that name for now. After all, you don't want to reveal your true identity.

I thought you would hold out for a few more days. It's only the third day, and you've already given in. I thought you could hold out for a few more days."

While dancing, the woman said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, Lawrence. Remember our agreement."

Suddenly, Roland discovered that the surrounding environment had changed.

It was still the same cabin, but the position of the person sleeping in the distance was different.

The woman was naked, her hands folded across her chest, trying to cover herself. She seemed to be facing a decision.

I smiled and said, "Miss Belinda, today is the fourth day. Are you still hesitating? Do you want me to explain the matter to you again?

Today, we have learned from the jailer that their keys are temporary. To truly unlock the shackles and prophecy, we need the key of 'Lord Dagmar'.

You need me to help you steal the key, right?

You know, as long as I nod, the leaders of the three-headed snake will be happy to see me.

But I'm taking a big risk, isn't it?

So, what price are you willing to pay?"

The woman said angrily, "You despicable Paladin, you clearly defeated me, yet you suddenly changed your mind! Your methods are even more shameless than those of a dark wizard!"

He smiled and said, "Belinda, the day you accepted my terms, you should have known I wouldn't just threaten you once. You can't kill me, a witness, and then accidentally reveal your own secrets. Worst of all, if you want to get out, you'll need a key member like me to join your group. Otherwise, you won't be able to defeat Dagmar."

Obviously, every card I have is better than the ones in your hand, but you thought at the beginning that you could turn around and threaten me?
Haha, just do it obediently, just like you learned from the jailer, as long as I am willing to join the three-headed snake, 'Lord Dagmar' will be very willing to send me back to the 'Inquisition' and give me a slave named 'Belinda'.

I can let you go halfway, or I can take you back to the prison of the Inquisition.

I am different from you. I am not a prisoner. I can become a partner of the owner of this ship at any time!"

Belinda widened her beautiful eyes and said seriously, "Don't dream, Lawrence. Cooperating with me is your only way to survive! Dagmar may accept your conditions, but he is more likely not to accept them.

Because the 'Secret Society of Light' requires a second-level sacrifice!

The benefits of handing you over to the Illuminati Secret Society may not be as great as letting you go, but this benefit is more secure!"

He laughed to himself, "So, Miss Belinda, you understand your situation? They need a second-level sacrifice."

Belinda shuddered all over. She didn't expect that this guy could see through her realm!
Belinda said, "Don't force me to shatter the Philosopher's Stone! Then you will be Dagmar's only choice!"

He spread his hands and said, "So the situation is at a standstill here. I dare not betray you, and you can't force me to escape with you."

Belinda said angrily, "You psychopath! It's obvious that escaping together is the only way to survive, why don't you want to!"

He showed that face again: "Yeah, so why should we keep arguing like this?

You just need to lower your head and we can reach an agreement. Look, I washed it so clean. "

Lower your head and tell the truth, this is not the first time that Miss Belinda has done this in order to achieve her various goals, but Miss J also has dignity!
Miss Belinda finally lowered her head in humiliation. She said, "It's agreed, just this once!"

I said seriously: "Just this once!"

The scene changes again.

Time seemed to have come to the fifth day.

Obviously, he broke his promise again.

The scene changes again.

This is the sixth day.

The scene changes again. It is the seventh day.

He laughed softly and said, "Miss Belinda, you blood-drained wizards really have no moral integrity and bottom line. It's only the seventh day."

"Yes, despicable Paladin, don't even think about returning to the Church!"

Miss Belinda suddenly bared her fangs and bit herself.

A wave of extreme happiness washed over me from my neck, and I finally said to myself, "Hahaha, dying beneath the peony flowers! Bah! Damn it! You're going to kill me just for a little fun, aren't you?"

Straw Body only has 2 health points, and yet he insists on going to a whore!

It would be fine if you were to have sex with someone else, but you have to have sex with a vampire!
When she's excited, she bites!

Besides, she has wanted my blood for a long time, it would be strange if she didn’t bite me!
What's more, she had a bad idea in mind - she wanted to inject blasphemous blood into Lawrence's body, leaving him with no way out and unable to return to the Vatican!
My straw body only has two blood points. I'll die if I take this bite. Wait, am I Little Roland or Roland?
church
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!"

Roland cursed and jumped up from the ground, then hurriedly activated the Snake Ring and sent himself from the church to the cabin.

In the cabin, Miss Belinda was looking at the scarecrow under her with a confused look on her face. She seemed very confused - why did Sir Lawrence turn into a scarecrow.

At this moment, the magical power of the strange object (snake ring) flashed in the scarecrow's arms, and then a person appeared in front of him.

Miss Belinda raised her head in confusion, and then her pupils suddenly shrank.

Roland pretended to be serious and said, "It's a wizard's magic item with a substitution spell inside. Okay, Lord Belinda, if you fulfill your promise, I will also fulfill my promise to join you and escape with you."

Miss Belinda stood up, covering her body with her shirt, and looked Roland up and down for a long time.

Then, she asked this question: "Who are you?"

With a loud bang, a flash of lightning passed through Roland's mind.

It’s broken, everything is exposed!

Suddenly, Miss Belinda's pupils shrank - she recognized this person.

Even if he turned into ashes, all the blood wizards would be able to recognize him!

. . .

. . .

Roland suddenly discovered a problem from Miss Belinda's eyes.

When he freed himself from his shackles, he changed his name several times, and later unified himself with countless 'Roland Alayeh'.

The identity I'm using now is Roland Alaye, not 'Lorens'!
Previously, Roland had been using the name 'Laurence' to play Lawrence.

Including this little straw Roland outside, who has been playing the role of Lawrence under the name "Lawrence".

Therefore, in the eyes of others, my image and that of Straw Roland are different!

Obviously, he was never Lawrence, but a wizard who had been pretending to be Lawrence!

As a fake, he had no cards in his hand to threaten Belinda.

Because I wasn't the second-level Paladin 'Lorens', I couldn't negotiate with the three-headed snakes. I didn't even dare to wander around in front of 'Lord Dagmar'. Because he was different from Belinda, he had no shackles and possessed magical powers. If I interacted with him for a long time, he would notice my abnormality!

Therefore, I have been using despicable means to deceive this lady.

As Little Roland said, after having sex with Miss Belinda, he really didn't have to take responsibility. After all, their partnership ended after they got off the boat.

But only if she's been lied to all along!

The premise is that she didn't know that Lawrence was an imposter.

You can have sex with Miss Belinda, but you can't lie to her because she is a second-level withered blood wizard! A second-level wizard who already has a personal grudge against Baron Roland of the Black Abyss!
Belinda is not a fool, she is a second-level wizard, and a very cunning and shrewd second-level wizard!

As long as she organizes her thoughts a little, she will understand!
——It’s over, everything is exposed!

Sure enough, in just two or three seconds, Miss Belinda suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.

Then she looked at Roland, narrowing her eyes slightly, a blaze of fury blazing from them. She recognized him. Even if this Black Abyss Wizard turned to ash, she would still recognize him!

Faced with Belinda's question, Roland was stunned for a few seconds. Then he bowed calmly and said, "Dear Ms. Belinda, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can be 'Laurence' at any time. And others will definitely believe me."

Of course, if we have a choice, I would prefer that we could work together to escape from here. After all, I can't really use Lawrence's identity to return to the Inquisition.

Secondly, by working with me, the value I can bring is no less than that of Lawrence.

Finally, you should be glad I'm not Lawrence, because I'm clearly a much better person to work with.

Because working with Lawrence is like trying to get the skin of a tiger.

By working with me, you will have more control.”

Belinda's expression changed many times and she was silent for five or six seconds.

She was very angry at first - she had just been tricked into having sex by this bastard!

But soon she began to consider the matter from the perspective of her own interests.

Belinda displayed the true qualities of a withered-blood witch. She put aside her emotions and went straight to the point, coldly asking, "What are you worth?"

Roland stretched out his hands and showed his wrists.

Belinda first looked at Roland's hands in confusion, and then her pupils suddenly shrank.

Belinda asked, "Have you broken the 'shackles of original sin'?"

Roland thought to himself, "So it's called 'Original Sin Shackles'? It sounds like a unique technology of the Southern Church."

Roland drew a circle with his finger at the scarecrow on the ground, and then the scarecrow stood up as if controlled by a string, with a pair of shackles on its hands.

Belinda's expression changed slightly. This scarecrow had been with her for seven days, and he was always shackled. There was a logic in this, but Belinda had just overlooked it.

Now she looked at the shackles on the Scarecrow's hands and suddenly realized something.

Was this guy freed from his shackles seven days ago?
Also, what have you been doing?

Did I do it with this kid, or have I been going crazy on a scarecrow these past few days?

Or is everyone just going crazy over a scarecrow these days?!
Everyone thought that the scarecrow was Lawrence! But in fact, Lawrence was just a scarecrow that couldn't move!

Roland said, "I haven't fully analyzed the magical logic behind these shackles, but my team did find a way to unlock them without paying any price during the experiment."

Belinda's expression changed several times.

Roland's words were misleading. He made it seem as if Black Abyss or a certain team had conducted extensive experiments on the Southern Sin Shackles before he arrived.

Considering this weird scarecrow, it is obvious that this guy came prepared and has a team supporting him!
Belinda subconsciously took a half step back and said vigilantly: "What exactly do you want to do?"

She suddenly didn't care whether Roland was worthy of cooperating with her - this guy obviously was!
She was worried that she would be dragged into the whirlpool!
Originally, Belinda was still thinking about the "Holy Blood Trail", but this idea has now been half extinguished.

This guy is a maelstrom! He's not alone!

Roland smiled and said, "Dear Miss Belinda, let me tell you the truth. No one can get out of this ship alive. Except for the Bloody Wizard."

Belinda's pupils suddenly shrank.

I knew it, I knew it!
The Twilight Council will not let traitors make it south alive!

So, Saladin and the Twilight Council are actually in cahoots?!
No, it's impossible. There must have been some accident in this matter.

This accident resulted in Lord Black Abyss Baron Roland failing to complete his mission successfully.

The entire team may have been divided into two groups. One group continued to lurk on Saladin's side. This group had difficulty completing the original mission of assassinating the traitor, so they may have changed their plans.

For example, he could do the next best thing and kill some important traitors, or try to win over Saladin.

The other group is here. Baron Heiyuan is the leader. Although he is only a small mid-level first-level wizard, this notorious terrorist is definitely the leader!
The destruction of Withered Blood Castle was his plan. Even Princess Twilight followed his lead and cooperated with him during the Withered Blood Castle incident. Therefore, he was definitely the person in charge of this mission.

The huge Blood Castle was destroyed. The 'Baron Helaka Holy Blood' who originally supported the Blood Wizards suddenly supported Black Abyss under this kid's plan.

What's a slave ship and a blood castle?
Belinda said solemnly, "Price, Lord Black Abyss. What price do we need to pay to gain freedom? Let me be more straightforward. Why was the Bloody Wizard able to leave alive?"

Baron Heiyuan was right. The person in front of him did not have such a title. Even the title of Baron Heiyuan, which once existed, no longer exists.

But Baron Black Abyss has become the code name of this terrorist.

Roland touched his chest and bowed, saying, "Lady Belinda, first of all, please believe that it is not up to a mere baron like me to decide who lives and who dies.

Secondly, it was 'Count Durand' and 'Countess Wendishar' who betrayed the Twilight Council. More precisely, it was the Withered Blood Castle that betrayed the Twilight Council, not the Withered Blood Family.

Then, the four countesses, Avia, Nara, Cesa, and Ambica, and the two countesses, Griselda and Mora. Oh, I forgot to mention that they are now earls. The Bloody Land is too large and will be divided into six earldoms in the future.

Finally, I don't think it's necessary for Belinda, a small lord who is not that close to 'Count Durand' and 'Countess Wendessa', to be charged with treason.

Do you say so?

So, what kind of price do you think is required?"

Roland's hateful smile reminded Belinda of her experiences over the past seven days.

She pursed her lips and took a deep breath, then let go of the clothes she was holding.

With a snap, the clothes fell to the ground, and the graceful figure appeared before Roland's eyes.

Roland: “???”

Miss Belinda came closer seductively, knelt in front of Roland, and reached out to untie his belt.

She smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Baron, so, how would you like me to cooperate?"

Roland quickly opened her hand and pulled her up. He then picked up a cloak from the ground and put it on her, covering her tightly.

Roland said nervously, "Miss Belinda, please respect yourself. I have a family, and I am absolutely loyal to the Thousand-Eyed King and Princess Twilight!"

Also, although I am the person in charge of this operation, my suggestions do carry a lot of weight within the team. However, there are some matters that I need to discuss with my deputy before giving you a response."

Belinda's eyes moved slightly, and she instantly understood what Roland meant.

Roland's team includes Princess Twilight and even the Thousand-Eyed King's spies. Scarecrow should have a high-level spatial artifact, or even a 'dimensional' spatial artifact, in his body. The rest of the team is also included.

They will report many things to Princess Twilight, or even the Thousand-Eyed King. Generally speaking, a wizard lord or even a tower master are minions who work for the Twilight King's confidants.

But Baron Black Abyss's superior is Princess Twilight, and Princess Twilight is the spokesperson for the Thousand-Eyed King.

Moreover, even if this wasn't the Thousand-Eyed King's son-in-law, given his many achievements, this rising star was enough to attract a little attention from the upper echelons.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the matter of Helaka of the Holy Blood, which involves matters of God - this is the baron under the Lord of Yellow Fern!
This was enough to make the Thousand-Eyed King take a second look at him.

Therefore, if the Thousand-Eyed King suddenly had an idea and asked his son-in-law to do a small thing to test whether the son-in-law was worthy of training, wouldn't it be normal?

Roland continued, "As for the conditions and price you asked about, as a group of withered-blood wizards loyal to the Twilight Council, they should know what they should and shouldn't do after arriving in the south.

If this operation is successful and you successfully reach the south, someone will contact you when needed in the future.

Of course, all this has a premise.

That is, you need to prove your loyalty in this operation."

Belinda knelt on one knee, her face showing a mixture of excitement, solemnity, and ruthlessness. "Your Majesty, please rest assured! When this ship reaches the south, there will be no traitors alive on it!"

This is your chance to serve the Thousand-Eyed King!
A mere second-level wizard like me actually has such an opportunity to hear directly from the heavens!

When Baron Black Abyss goes to report this matter, he will mention the name 'Belinda', and the Thousand-Eyed King will see it. That's right, from now on, I am Belinda!
During these seven days, Belinda did a very good job.

She had already turned many important crew members into her slaves. Many of these crew members were actually just small three-headed snake wizard apprentices. However, they were the most important and most easily overlooked grassroots key personnel.

For example, the crew member who is responsible for cleaning the ship - that person is just a low-level apprentice, but he has the magic keys to 90% of the doors and the secret codes of the spell locks!

Another example is the group of crew members in the monitoring room who are slacking off all day long - this is obviously an important position, but the people in charge of these things are a group of apprentices!
Sometimes, you can’t get things done by going to the leader, but instead you have to go to the clerk under him!

That young clerk may be just a hard-working ox who only does hard work, but he is in charge!
If he closes his eyes, the leader will be blind. If he tells a few lies, it will be difficult for everyone to know the truth!
But he is often the kind of person who is easily overlooked. Unless something happens, no one will think of him.

Now, Belinda has taken care of all the grassroots "current management" of this three-headed snake.

Therefore, as long as she helped to cover for him, Roland could let the Red Saint sing without worry.

It’s true that his musical style is not good, and the effect of singing "Squeaky Gaga" now is very average. But every banshee is a professional female singer.

Roland even gave her a band. With seven first-level benevolent spirits and a second-level Red Saint, it wouldn't be long before everyone's SAN would be emptied, or even go negative.

When everyone's SAN is almost gone, the protagonist Roland will take the stage.

Belinda thought that Roland might make a big move like he did last time in the Blood Castle. She underestimated the situation this time.

Last time, it was indeed Heraka who performed the show herself, but the goddess's purpose was not to turn the Blood Castle into a mysterious place, so she did not let go and just hummed softly a few times.

But this time, Roland's goal is to kill him!
He planned to let the Red Saint and the others sing for half a month. Who knows what will happen!
Roland needs Belinda and the others to help him deal with the BOSS, so he will let them maintain a certain level of SAN.

After discussing the plan with Belinda, Roland gave her some magic potion, then he created a little Roland, took out the magic mirror and turned him into Lawrence, and let the little Roland stay in the cabin instead of himself.

Afterwards, Roland entered the snake ring.

'Of the two paths, the path of truth and the path of faith, which one has the highest priority?'

'Assuming an 80% chance of touching the Gate of Truth, how many servants will touch the Path of Truth, and how many will touch the Path of Faith?
And how many will touch the two gates?"

With such doubts, Roland came to the church.

He is now very concerned about the advancement of the good spirits.

No matter which path you take, all you have to do now is advance!
Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the Seven Servants, many other things like the Red Saint will also go wrong.

After entering the church of the Snake Ring, Roland checked the servants, flipped through the book, and then was completely stunned.

They seem to have become 'Heroic Spirits'! But they are not Heroic Spirits!
The path they take is neither the path of faith nor the path of truth.

There is a description of one of the servants in the book, which is written as follows.

[Name: Theresa Alaye]

[Type: Evil Heroic Spirit (First Stage Early Stage)]

[Attribute: Holy/Shadow]

[Identity: Evil Nun, Chief Priest of the Heraca Church, Roland's Disciple/Alaye's Follower/Maid Head]

【Master: (Various Magic)】

[Faith/Path of Truth: Shepherdess of the Holy Blood I (Beginner's Guide)]

[Personal resume: This mysterious nun no longer remembers her last name, but only her first name.

After she became Alayeh's disciple and retainer, she took the rabbi's last name as her surname and swore eternal loyalty to her rabbi.

She has a devout faith, but her faith is so strange that it is difficult to define what kind of believer she is.
She can perform real magic and chant pious sacred sounds.

In any case, she has her own beliefs, but she walks on the path of truth.

No magic book can predict their future. Their destiny is completely chaotic, a path filled with both sanity and madness.
