I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 357: How did you advance?! Cult leader! Holy treasure!

The two ladies were so ashamed and angry that they broke free from the shackles of original sin and tried to lock Roland up.

But they discovered in despair that Roland now seemed to have the strength of "three people". What's worse, he seemed to be able to control the bodies of both of them!
What's worse is that it really hurts when the cane hits people!
Before long, Anna, who had been the loudest in the fight, finally gave in. She shouted, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'll listen to you!"

Roland shouted angrily, "Call me daddy!"

Anna cried out, "Daddy, Daddy! Mommy, please say something!"

Catherine also cried, "Wuwuwu, aren't you just trying to make us, mother and son, submit to you? You beast. Start quickly, end quickly!"

Roland put down the cane with a grim smile and started doing his evil deeds.

The two sisters seemed to have surrendered, but they were actually filled with hatred in their hearts.

They looked like they were serving Roland according to his request, but in reality they were secretly plotting a sinister plan—just like last time in the Scripture Copying Hall, they would knock Roland down, then hang him up and beat him!
But the situation today was different from the last time in the Scripture Copying Hall. Not only had Roland rested for a month and come prepared, he also had a lot of anger in his heart.

What's worse is that Anna, this traitor, saw that the situation was not good and started calling for her dad again. She fell to the side and rubbed her red buttocks.

Seeing that her sister, the traitor, surrendered first, Catherine took the challenge while appearing to be aggressive but actually being timid.

The two had this conversation.

Catherine said, "Isn't that enough? It's already two o'clock, Mr. Roland. Don't you want to bathe in divine grace?"

Roland said: "Don't talk, don't talk. I seem to, seem to..."

Suddenly, Catherine saw a beam of light falling from the sky, shining on herself and Roland.

Catherine: "?"

In the light, Catherine shouted, "Stop! Stop now! Grace is coming!"

Roland: "Ah!!!~~"

Under the divine light, Roland felt his whole body become clear.

Catherine: “???”

Catherine's eyes went dark.

This guy actually, actually on his body
How could such an outrageous thing happen!

What was even more outrageous was that at that moment, Catherine felt as if she was bathed in a holy power, and this power deeply
Pushing the stinky man away, Catherine took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and felt her own state. Then her expression gradually became very exciting.

Catherine's mind was in a mess. She pushed Roland, wanting to ask him if he had any special feelings just now.

But I found that this dog man was asleep.

Catherine was so angry that she thought about all sorts of things for a while and gradually fell asleep.

the next day.
As the morning sunlight shone on the three pairs of boots on the ground, the three were awakened by a knock on the door.

They dressed hastily.

This library bedroom is like a suite, so it is normal for Lawrence and Isabella, mother and daughter, to live in the same suite as a family.

Catherine and Anna played mother and daughter, tidying the room and preparing morning tea.

Roland went to open the door.

When opening the door, Roland was very confident - what's wrong with me, Lawrence, living with my wife and daughter?
But the person who came in was Amber.

Roland's face turned extremely embarrassed, because Ms. El seemed to have brought Amber with her last night.

Amber obviously knew what happened last night. After she entered the room, she looked at the two women coldly, and then looked at her teacher with a complicated expression.

She couldn't help but feel that she was abandoned because her father divorced her mother because of an affair.

Amber grew up without parents and was taken in by Roland and raised by Catherine.

She regarded Catherine as her mother, and she was adopted by the White Queen as her grandson. So she regarded her teacher and teacher's wife as her parents.

Grandma is right, the teacher has betrayed the East.

He also betrayed his wife.

So the current scene makes Amber feel like her father is having an affair, she has been abandoned by her parents, and has to live with her grandmother.

Seeing that the hostess of this "family" invited her in for tea, Amber politely declined her kindness.

Amber didn't come in. She said to Roland, "No more tea, Mr. Lawrence. I'm leaving with Ms. Eyre soon. Do you have anything to say to Miss Catherine?"

Amber felt a little regretful after saying this.

You should not get involved in the affairs of your elders.

The teacher must have his reasons for making such a choice, and I came here to say goodbye to him.

She hasn't seen her teacher for a long time and she misses him very much.

But why would he do this? !
At this moment, Roland felt very stiff.

He didn't know what to say.

Roland thought to himself, "My little apprentice seems very sad, but I can't explain this! He even asked me to give Catherine a message, but what message should I give her?"

Roland really didn't know what to say, but luckily Isabella came to his rescue.

Isabella smiled and said, "Laurence has nothing to say to Catherine. If you must say something..."

She gave a victorious smile and continued, "Wilmik welcomes her."

Roland: "."

amber:"."

Amber nodded deeply with red eyes, then turned and left.

Roland watched her go, and when he saw her turn the corner and go down the stairs at the end of the corridor, he wiped his eyes.

Roland angrily closed the door and said to the senior, "What are you doing? How can you talk like that?"

Isabella ignored Roland. She sat down on a chair and picked up a comb. "Comb my hair. What are you standing there for? Mr. Roland, since we've already agreed on the terms, I hope you can keep your promise, forget that woman, and live a good life with us mother and daughter."

Roland sighed secretly, "This drama queen is getting into the act again. But she's right. We must not reveal our identities. I have to adapt."

Roland started combing the senior's hair.

Catherine said very much into the role: "Roland, I know that you don't have us mother and son in your heart, and I don't love you either.

But you can't divorce me!

If you marry a wizard from the East, the daughter of the Thousand-Eyed King, my future will be ruined in your hands!
I agree to your terms. I will not reveal your identity as a Black Abyss wizard. I will not tell the Holy See that the relationship between Williams and Johnson, Brianna, Harland, and others is not as hostile as fire and water.

Therefore, Brianna will smoothly take over my position according to Catherine's plan."

Roland's eyes moved slightly.

The senior sister is really good at playing!
She pretended to leave, stayed behind using the identity of Isabella, and then performed a seemingly brainless operation.

But in reality, the Holy See was severely tricked.

Originally, the Vatican and Catherine had reached a deadlock in the negotiations in the Inquisition, but now the situation has been broken.

Just like what the senior sister said now, outsiders don’t know that this group of people are actually wearing the same pants.

Even in the eyes of the Vatican, Williams, Johnson, Brianna and others have been fighting openly and secretly, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are as hostile as water and fire.

——They were more than hostile to each other. Before Roland helped deal with the werewolves, they were already fighting to the death!
Over the past decade or so, this group of people has been causing a lot of trouble!
Everyone thought that everyone except themselves was a werewolf, so they fought fiercely.

Williams as abbot of the monastery and as director of the Holy Spirit Hospital.

But people like Johnson have been taking over the main role and stealing Williams' reputation.

Williams is the president of the seminary, but most people who leave Wilmick regard Johnson and others as their guides in faith!
From the church's perspective, Williams simply wanted to kill them.

Williams actually did this - the church had urged him to release them many times, but he had been holding on to the medical records of Johnson and his group and not allowing them to be discharged from the hospital!

Ruining someone’s future is like killing their parents. The entire church knows how discordant this group of people are!

Catherine continued, "Don't worry. The Church needs a check on Williams, and Brian is the perfect choice. They've been secretly writing letters to the Pope and reporting on each other."

Roland: "Huh?!"

Catherine turned around and smiled. "The Pope even wrote back to them, expressing his concern. He doesn't want his men to form cliques, but these people are fighting too hard against each other, which is not conducive to the unity of the church."

He urged Williams many times to cure Archbishop Johnson and his men and release them as soon as possible.

But Williams kept making excuses.

The Pope was very dissatisfied with this matter.

When I came from the Vatican, the Pope met me personally and mentioned this matter.

The relics require many people, many people who are loyal to the church.

And you know about the wishing machine.

Everyone's past has changed. In the Vatican, these people are the backbone of the church's fight against evil gods, and they are all angels who have fought side by side with God.

Their resumes were perfect, their abilities were also perfect, and in the eyes of the church, many of them were future demigods.

The most important thing is that Johnson and his colleagues have guided too many priests in the past decade or so.

No one wants their guide to be a dark wizard.

So when I submitted the report, I encountered some obstacles - the list of dark wizards I submitted contained more than a dozen names, and the ambassador of the Vatican's mission, Ms. Valea (a certain cardinal), expressed serious dissatisfaction with this.

She thought I had made a pact with Williams to help him eliminate his enemies.

But the evidence is conclusive!
This group of people secretly prepared to walk that mind-boggling and evil path - the chain of evidence is complete!

They are traitors to the Church.

Ms. Valeria was shocked, but she did not want this group of people to go to the Vatican and be tried in public by the Inquisition.

So, this group of people were secretly executed by me.

I promised the Church that I would keep it a secret - these people were heroes who died in the battle against the Mind-stealing Spirit, not dark wizards.

In exchange, the Holy See approved my application to join the ruins archaeological team and will give it careful consideration regarding the Malrod incident.
They were really considering it. For one thing, I was too close to Williams.

On the other hand, things on the ranch were getting pretty serious.

The ranch originally existed for the church to open the ruins for sacrifice, but the profits from the byproducts of the "holy fruit" were too great, so things got a little out of the church's control.

Therefore, sending me, the former queen, back to my kingdom to clean up their mess is a very good choice."

Roland asked, "So, in order to check and balance Williams, the Vatican will let Brianna take over the Inquisition in Wilmick?"

Catherine said, "Brianne isn't the only candidate. Her loyalty to the Church is unquestionable, and her faith is incredibly devout. But she's too young. The Church is afraid she won't be able to defeat Williams." Isabella turned to look at Roland and smiled, "So she's not as suitable as the old charlatan 'Harland' to run the Inquisition and oppose Williams."

Roland's face froze slightly, and he said, "No! The old charlatan has to help me infiltrate the cult!"

Catherine was stunned for a moment and said, "Cult?"

Anna was sitting nearby watching Roland combing her sister's hair. She interrupted and said, "My brother-in-law seemed to have mentioned someone named Hans yesterday."

Catherine felt as if she had some impression of it.

Roland recounted Hans's story in detail.

After hearing this, Catherine's face became very solemn. She touched the bouquet of red roses on the table, and then the roses turned pink.

Catherine said, "Roland, there must be cultists among us."

Roland asked, "Why do you say that?"

Catherine looked at Roland in the mirror and said, "Isabella doesn't like pink roses! And those jewelry are all my favorites! And this garden!"

Catherine looked at the 'beautiful garden' and said, "This is the style Anna likes!"

Roland was horrified.

Catherine said: "These days, I have been communicating with everyone through 'photos' and 'dolls'. No one among us knows that I have stayed.

Hans might not be well-informed and not know that the real Catherine was sent on board.

However, since he uses the title of butler to label himself, he must have asked his superiors about your and my preferences a long time ago.

And his boss must be one of our own."

Roland said with sweat on his forehead, "Oh no! The cult is definitely involved in this incident at the ruins!"

"Why do you say that?" Catherine asked.

Roland said, "Hans thinks I'm going to do something big! I didn't know what this 'big thing' meant before. Now I see, it could be anything else except the matter of Malrod!"
The cult knows that I am going to Malrod and that we are going to explore the ruins!

They're going to do something big in the ruins!"

Catherine's expression turned grim. She said, "Roland, the ranch incident might be driven by a cult. The church has been using the ranch for sacrifices to unlock the ruins for years.

In the church, some people embezzled the resources of "livestock" during sacrifices and made profits by producing holy fruits.

There are also people who embezzle the resources of the 'soul' and trade them to the devils for profit.

The benefits are unimaginable.

If the cult had already set up operations in Malrod, then they could easily have embezzled the money!
The resources accumulated in their hands are unimaginable.

There are so many things you can do with these resources.

If they cause trouble in the ruins, it will definitely not be a small matter!"

Roland cursed in his heart.

The actions of the United Church of Light and Shadow are even worse than those of a cult. These remnants of the old faith are merely parasites on the rotten roots of the new faith.

Even the "Judgment of the Gods" that Protestantism wants to do is more terrifying than what cults want to do.

But Protestantism is for everyone.

The old religion is targeting oneself!

If the Protestant religion succeeded, Roland wouldn't necessarily die. He would still have a chance to escape to another world with the wizards.

But if the cult succeeds, Roland might become an immortal!

Roland believed that this group of lunatics were causing trouble in the ruins most likely in order to 'summon Alayeh'!
They must not be allowed to succeed in the Protestant cause.

We must not allow them to succeed in the old religion's affairs!

He and Catherine were keeping an eye on Protestantism and trying to stir up trouble within it.

There must be someone who keeps an eye on the old religion and disrupts the situation within it!

Roland said, "No! We must let the old charlatan enter this cult and keep an eye on these cultists!"

Catherine nodded and said, "Why do you think he's suitable? That fake believer might actually be a true believer!
Maybe this old immortal is the leader of that evil cult!"

Roland asked, "Let me ask you a question—are you the Son of Madness?"

Catherine cursed, "What the hell are you talking about! I'm certainly not the Son of Madness!"

Roland said, "The old charlatan said that as the most devout believer, he could have ascended to heaven long ago, but he stayed because he wanted to follow the Holy Son. And you are that Holy Son."

Catherine suddenly remembered this incident. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "This old lunatic, he keeps talking nonsense all day long. I must cut his tongue off."

However, Catherine understood what Roland meant.

Indeed, the old charlatan is definitely a fake believer.

It is a very good idea to let him infiltrate the cult and keep an eye on the cultists.

Roland said, "Not only do we have to let the old charlatan in, we have to let him get to the top!

However, this matter is easy to handle. With the support of Alayeh and the methods of the old charlatan, he might really be able to reach the top in a short period of time! "

Catherine looked at Roland with a strange expression and said, "Is it possible that the old immortal was originally the top leader of the cult?"

Roland rolled his eyes fiercely and said, "You are too suspicious."

Catherine sighed. "Alright. Let him join the cult, that's fine. But lately, we've been allocating resources to him in order to get him to take over the Welmick Inquisition. Brianna is young, so it might be difficult for her to take over."

Roland's face froze slightly, and he said, "What should we do then?"

Catherine said, "As for the church's affairs, they're easy to handle with money. But it requires a lot of money."

Roland couldn't help but curse, "These charlatans are rotten to the core. Let Hans pay! He has plenty of money!"

The matter was settled just like that.

By this time, Roland had finished combing Katherine's hair. Anna sat down and let Roland and Katherine braid her hair.

Anna now uses the identity of 'Ella'. Ella has lived in the Twilight Territory of the East for many years and has her hair in the medieval style of the East.

Her long hair had many braids, making her look like a medieval princess.

Well, both Anna and Ella are princesses.

In the East, Ella is treated like a princess.

While braiding Anna's beautiful long hair, Roland couldn't help but ask something that concerned him deeply: "Well, your mother didn't really tell your father about what happened last night, did she?"

Catherine said, "What do you think? Amber came here this morning. It must be because her mother asked her to come and confirm that she thinks you are dirty and doesn't want to even look at you. So she asked Amber to come."

Roland felt overwhelmed.

Catherine said, "Don't worry. Father knows I'm staying here. He wants the three of us to go to the ruins together."

Roland asked, "Will he go too?"

Catherine said: "Hydra naturally wants a share of the ruins, but they are flooded in a 'large reservoir'."

Roland understood.

The father-in-law will go as Saladin.

With the Thousand-Eyed King around, Roland immediately felt relieved.

Soon, the two of them finished braiding Anna's hair.

Catherine took out a few magic books and handed them to Roland.

Catherine said, "I need to arrange some things in the next few days. You should take good care of your 'Holy Church'. It will be very useful later."
You can refer to these books.”

Roland took a curious look and found that two of the books were written by the White Queen: "Pure White Heart" and "Sacred Objects of Akagi".

The remaining ones are: "Holiness and Decay", "The Originating Sacred Tree" and "Hymn to Themis".

These two books seem to come from someone's integration of old scriptures.

After flipping through the books, Roland's eyes flickered slightly. He asked curiously, "This person seems to know a lot about the Old Church! Who wrote these three books? He's most likely the cultist!"

Catherine looked at Roland and said, "It was written by the old charlatan."

Roland: "."

No wonder Catherine suspected that the old charlatan was the leader of a cult!

This guy knows too much about the Alayeh Old Church!

Catherine said, "Don't overthink it. This guy has memories of many parallel worlds. After learning about the church, he consulted many of Collard's books and integrated them."

Roland couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In that doomsday world, Collard and his group tried every possible way to find a way out and also studied a lot of crazy things.

The wishing machine is one of them.

So, they left behind many, many remarkable documents.

If you thoroughly read the book he left behind, you will have a very deep understanding of the evil holy relic.

I don't know if the 'Holy Church' is considered an insane holy relic, but after it is alchemized into high-end goods in this plane, it will definitely be a bit insane.

So these three books would be a good fit.

The White Queen's "Pure White Heart" and "Akagi's Sacred Object" are specifically used to balance the evil.

In addition, the Order of the Dawn is also very good at it.

So, basically everything needed to renovate the church is complete.

Diana has been in the Snake Ring recently, and she can help a lot with matters related to the church and the elegy.

Roland originally thought he would have to do this himself, but Catherine said to him, "They've been helping you with the alchemy for a month. Go check on the progress. If it's finished, follow their instructions and write your name on it—I mean, perform a soul-binding ritual or something like that. Then you'll be done."

Roland asked, "Then why did you give me these books?"

Catherine looked Roland up and down for a long time, then said, "Roland, it's your own secret treasure, so I'll let others help you with the alchemy. But you can't be so ignorant of how it was made, right?"

What the senior sister said is so true. As a son-in-law, you take the exam. Your wife will find someone to take the exam for you. But you should at least take a look at the exam paper, right?
Roland's next words made sense. He muttered quietly, "Can't I just write my name?"

Catherine rolled her eyes fiercely and said, "Get lost!"
