I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 299: Real or Fake Husband! This is a lie, right?!

Roland did not respond to Isabella's words. He glanced at the woman behind the desk from the doorway.

This woman's style is completely different from Jeanne's.

She was wearing a holy white robe—one that was vintage, yet very, very modern.

Some of them look like the holy robes from the super magic era - if I have to make an analogy, the innermost clothes are a bit like the tights worn by the pilots in EVA.

The South has definitely reached a very high level in some technology trees.

Isabella's clothes and some of the things placed in her office have that steampunk sacred sci-fi style.

Over Isabella's very form-fitting 'bodysuit' was a set of holy robes that covered her chest and then fell vertically downwards, exposing both sides of her waist and thighs - revealing the 'bodysuit' underneath.

She wore a very long white scarf on her head. The area of ​​the scarf on top of her head was very small, just covering the top of her head like a small hat, and then it went down vertically, covering the shoulders on both sides like a cloak, and hanging down to the bottom.

There's something holding the turban in place on either side of the head. It looks like something connected to some magical device?

Roland was very suspicious that Isabella had moved things from some laboratories in the Vatican into a secret laboratory in the Mysterious Place.

In the lab, there might be some special "cabin" or something like that, and this "cabin" can connect to something far away. When entering the cabin, you must wear such clothing.

It's possible that when Isabella learned that Lawrence was coming, she was about to leave the office and go to the laboratory. That's why she asked John to take Roland for a walk first.

She had just returned to the office and asked about the situation. Then Jeanne received a call.

I don't know what Jeanne just talked about with Isabella here, she wasn't in the office.

Roland had some vague suspicions about this "cabin." Judging from the information Saladin had provided, it might be related to angels.

Roland couldn't see through Isabella's realm, but his intuition told him that Isabella was a mid-second-level expert.

But the strange thing is that although she is one level lower than Jeanne, this woman gives people a stronger sense of oppression.

She is definitely scarier than Jeanne.

Jeanne is a superhuman, and Isabella is a superhuman who can do magic!
Roland thought for only a moment and sat down on the chair in front of the desk. Only then did he realize that the woman was not wearing shoes and was barefoot.

Retracting his gaze, Roland recalled Isabella's question just now.

Roland already had a vague guess about some things.

He knew that if he guessed right, then he and Isabella would be able to chat on the same channel, and then he would be able to sneak into the mental hospital.

If I guess wrong, the two of us will never be able to chat on the same channel. By then, I will be locked up in a mental hospital!

Roland said, "I didn't see my daughter."

Isabella's face, as calm as a lake, flashed with anger. She asked, "So, what have you been doing in the East all these years?"

Roland stretched out his fingers and said, "I spent my days wandering around in Valeria, slew evil gods in the Fern Forest, dealt with mysteries in the forbidden forest of the Black Abyss Academy, and planted servants of God twisted by wizards in the forbidden land of the White Chess Council."

Roland recounted his personal experience.

This is what Roland calls channel matching.

If it matches, from now on, he will have plugged the biggest loophole in his body!

If the channel doesn't match. Roland looked at the pair of original sin shackles on Isabella's desk.

Isabella's face remained calm as she said, "So, should I call you Roland or Lawrence now?"

Roland's heart suddenly moved - is the channel on the right track?

No, she is still testing herself!

Saladin must have arranged it perfectly!

What went wrong?
Speaking of which, Saladin had already arranged how to make Roland perfectly play the role of Lawrence and deceive people.

But this old Biden didn't write everything down in the document!
This forced Roland to guess!
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this matter is very strange - what if Roland is exposed?
He didn't seem to be worried at all that Roland would reveal the truth to his daughter.
In any case, Roland, the spy, now faces a strict examiner.

If he could even pass Isabella's test, he wouldn't have to get full marks. Even if she was still in doubt, as long as she let Roland go today, it would mean that Roland would have a smooth journey in the church in the future!

By then, he will become an incredible, flawless super spy!
If you can't pass this level
Roland sighed and said, "Isabella, it's been more than forty years. Just like when you first summoned me, I have lived a whole life. How can I tell the difference?
You asked about our daughter, and I am indeed looking for her.

But I woke up too quickly. After I woke up, someone was following me and I had no choice but to be taken to the boat by him."

Isabella said expressionlessly, "It's 'her'."

Roland's pupils suddenly shrank. How did she know that person was a woman and not a man?
Is it a newspaper?
Although photos of himself and Catherine were published in newspapers in the East.

But this incident cannot be used to confirm that he was sent on board by Catherine.

This woman is just testing herself.

Why was she testing herself like this?

It seems to be irrelevant who you are with before you get on the ship.
Roland's expression was slightly odd, and he thought to himself, "Could this woman still have feelings for Lawrence? Is she jealous and feeling uncomfortable? So she's turning love into hate?!"

Roland could only remain silent about Isabella's words. She had guessed correctly that he was with a woman.

Isabella's calm expression faltered slightly as she asked, "So, you came back this time for those Black Abyss wizards?"

Roland's expression changed slightly. He blurted out, "Catherine brought the Black Abyss wizards here? They're being held captive in the Saint Wilmick Monastery?!"

Roland regretted saying this.

Because Isabella was stunned after hearing this.

Then the anger in her eyes became visible to the naked eye.

This woman's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. Roland was originally a thief who worked as a spy. Now that she was staring at him like this, Roland felt very guilty.

He didn't dare to meet her gaze, and pretended to lower his head and pat his trouser legs.

There was a clattering sound of footsteps coming from the desk, and Miss Isabella seemed to have come to the desk and leaned against it.

Roland looked up with a guilty conscience and found Isabella folding her arms across her chest, looking at him with a half-smile.

And in her hands, she was holding a pair of shackles of original sin.

This scene was almost identical to what had happened in Jeanne's office just now—damn! How could these two sisters be so different?!

No, that's not right. Isabella is like that. She likes to be superior to others and likes people to submit to her.

Jeanne learned from her sister, but her learning was similar in form but not in spirit.

Isabella, having been a queen, exuded a powerful aura. This kind of aura can't be learned. In comparison, Jeanne was more like a mischievous yet somewhat innocent princess.

In addition, Jeanne took the shackles of original sin and planned to play with 'Lorenz'.

She was holding the shackles of original sin and really intended to kill herself!

Roland felt like he was being held hostage by Isabella's words.

If he said, "I'm not concerned about the Black Abyss Wizard, I haven't betrayed the Church," it means he cares about Catherine!

This shows that Lawrence cares about Catherine in front of his wife!
So, Lawrence didn't look for his daughter just for a woman!
Isabella already hated her husband, and now she had to conduct a one-stop inquisition for Lawrence!

As long as the group of old hands are put to the test in the first instance, Roland will definitely be exposed.

But if Roland said, "I actually care about the Black Abyss Wizard, not Catherine." Well, you traitor, go to hell!
Roland couldn't help but look up at the woman before him again. He said, "Isabella, my faith has never changed, and my love for you has never changed. Catherine is a very important connection. She can help us find our daughter."

Isabella smiled and said meaningfully, "Are you doing this for our daughter or for your daughter?"

Roland was stunned and didn't understand.

Isabella shook her head and said, "You are such a scumbag. You have been away from the East for 24 years, and your daughter with Catherine is already 24 years old."

Roland: "Huh?!"

Roland was really dumbfounded now.

On the road to truth, wizards will gradually become more and more like immortals and have some of the problems of immortals - difficulty in giving birth to the next generation.

The higher the realm, the harder it is to have children. If you want to have children, both wizards and witches need to take potions.

Now, when Roland heard the news, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

He was so dizzy that he didn't notice the mischievous smile on Miss Isabella's lips.

Roland's mood was very complicated. He was very excited and regretful.

It has been more than 20 years. I have been so irresponsible!
What should I do now that the child’s mother is locked up?
Where is my daughter? What is she doing?
Roland really couldn't hold back this time. When he came to his senses, he found Isabella looking at him with a playful look.

Roland's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "It's over! I didn't behave like someone who had awakened in Roland's body and taken over his body. That's the only way Roland could behave!"

Roland pretended to be calm and said, "I was wrong, Isabella. I woke up early. At first, I just wanted to use her. I don't know how I should feel about her now, but after I found out that she and I had a child, my heart was very complicated.

Believe me, I won't do anything stupid like rescuing her. After all, given her status, the church will treat this hostage well.

I promise you, I won’t see her.”

Roland's original plan was to enter the monastery, find Catherine, and rescue them. Now he had to settle for the next best thing and save his own life first.

Isabella sneered: "I don't care about your feelings, Roland, you are my dog."

Roland's mouth twitched slightly—it was over.

Isabella smiled and said, "You really are more used to this name, aren't you?"

Roland said seriously, "Isabella, it's just a name."

Isabella said, "Just a name? Well, let me ask you, do you know why my daughter was sent north?"

Southerners like to call people from the East Northerners, so the 'North' that Isabella refers to is the 'East'.

In his heart, Roland cursed Saladin for not telling him anything, but he said with a brave face, "Isabella, you know that birth requires baptism in the River Styx. I have forgotten a lot."

Under Isabella's increasingly cold gaze, Roland's words came to an abrupt end. He sighed and pretended to be frank and lenient.

Roland said, "Well, there's no need to hide it anymore—that old man Saladin deceived you!

He asked me to help you cheat!
I was actually fed to the mermaid by him."

Isabella frowned slightly: "You said 'I was fed to the mermaid by him'?"

Roland nodded and said, "Yes, I am incompetent. My soul became his pawn, thrown to the side of the Thousand-Eyed King's daughter, and I personally did many things with her that the Thousand-Eyed King asked me to do.

Until Saladin found me at sea and awakened me. Then he knew many secrets of the Thousand-Eyed King.

We made a deal where he asked me to keep this secret from you in exchange for our daughter being released.

I don’t know how our daughter ended up in the South, but I know he must know where she is.”

Roland was gambling. He was gambling on two things.

One is that the people in the South were 'deceived' by some force and believed that Roland was Lawrence.

One is that the secrets you know are more valuable.

So he was reminding Isabella, reminding her of her own worth.

Isabella also understood what Roland meant. He was saying that he had lost many memories due to being forced to reincarnate. This was indeed a reason.

After coming back to her senses, Isabella looked at Roland in front of her.

Roland was still extremely nervous. He was sweating profusely, but his face was full of sorrow, and he didn't show any nervousness or guilt at all.

Seeing Isabella looking at him, Roland recalled Lawrence's behavior in the file, knelt on the ground in a flattering manner, and kissed her feet to express his submission.

You really act like it!

He hadn't seen the magic image, only read some text. Yet, he simulated every move of that disgusting thing, Lawrence, including his psychology.

If Isabella hadn't been absolutely certain that this person wasn't Lawrence, she would have almost doubted Roland's nonsense about him being the reincarnated Lawrence!
Seeing Roland pretending to be humble even though he was actually very unhappy, Isabella suddenly felt a sense of evil interest.

She raised her foot and stepped on Roland's face, but the shrimp-headed man smiled and kissed her foot.

Isabella inexplicably felt a surge of anger in her heart. She revealed an expression of irritation, jealousy, and anger, and kicked him away.

Then, Isabella threw a dozen documents on Roland's chest.

Isabella said, "Didn't you say you were loyal to the church? Didn't you say your faith hadn't changed?

Prove it to me. Find the dark wizard hiding in the monastery and bring him to me. Then you will be Lawrence."

Roland looked at the information in his hand and showed a strange expression.

At this time, Isabella said again: "Leave Diana here."

Roland's face was a little stiff. Jeanna had met Diana before!

If I say that this lady is not mine and left after getting off the boat, will she believe me?

Isabella's eyes slowly narrowed.

Roland sighed secretly, knowing that he might have to keep the hostage.

Roland stretched out his hand and drew a circle, and then a young lady in a linen robe, knitting a sweater and humming a song, appeared on the sofa beside him.

Diana suddenly found herself here and looked around in confusion.

When she saw the woman's face, she was almost scared to tears.

Didn't he escape from the ship?
Why was he arrested by the Inquisition again?!
Roland smiled and soothed her, "Diana, let me introduce you, this is my boss."

Diana gave Roland a look. "Do you think I'll believe you? You look like you're about to leave. Are you planning to take me hostage?"

Isabella also smiled and tried to appease him. "Miss Diana, the Mysterious Department is currently recruiting. Lord Roland recommended you to me. This job would be very suitable for you. The salary will also be very high."

When Diana heard that she could get paid for being a hostage, her eyes lit up slightly.

However, she timidly asked, "Who is Roland?"

Isabella: “?”

Apparently, Diana thought Roland's name was Lance.

Roland coughed awkwardly. He watched Isabella stretch out her fingers, twist them around her head twice, and tell her that Diana had a problem with her brain.

Isabella seemed even more satisfied. She nodded and said, "Not bad, very good."

Roland sighed secretly.

He knew that this hostage had to be kept.

Roland would definitely not want to keep Diana because she knew too much!

But to be honest, judging from the current situation, no matter what Diana is asked later, it will not have any impact on the situation.

After all, the Lawrence in the fake story is the reincarnation of Roland. So from Diana's perspective, it makes sense for her to tell Isabella that she is Roland.

Besides, she probably wouldn't say she was Roland.
Seeing Roland standing there in a daze with the documents in hand, Isabella raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you still standing there for? Get lost! Come to work on time tomorrow and wait for my news. I'll take you there."

Roland stood up, dusted himself off, bowed slightly, and took his leave.

As he reached the door, Isabella said, "Roland, you can try to escape, but you'd better think about Catherine and your daughter first."

Roland's body swayed slightly, as if all his energy had been drained away, and he walked out the door.

As soon as this guy left the house, he put away his previous expression and went downstairs with a suspicious look on his face.

He just felt that his daughter's affairs were unreasonable.

It was even hard to say whether the senior sister was in the mental hospital. But even if the father and daughter were lying, they were both big liars, and Roland had to go and see them.
