I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 359: Baron Hall! Roland the Great Pigeon! The Holy Blood Tree!

Charlie saw three angels in the mirror.

The first angel was wearing divine armor, and the hood was pitch black, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. Behind him were two pairs of light wings - Charlie was wearing ordinary clothes. But in the mirror, he looked like this. But he was clearly human.

There was some dirty blood on his armor, and his wings of light were also stained, but he was still pure.

The second angel was dressed in divine robes and shrouded in light, her face obscured. Behind her were a pair of luminous wings—and judging by the curve of her chest, it was clear that the angel had a gender.

Faintly, one could see some strange tattoos on her face, and a few small ones on her wings. But these tattoos were already few and gradually disappearing.

These tattoos were obviously marks left on her body by someone.

The third angel was dressed in pseudo-holy robes, with the sword of death slung at his waist, and his body was wrapped in burning thorns.

These thorns bound him like a seal.

There were many wriggling 'crazy little man tattoos' on his face, and his scaly angel wings were also covered with tattoos, but these tattoos formed two women's faces.

Suddenly, Charlie rubbed his eyes and found that the fake holy robe angel was just a normal angel. Where were the thorns and tattoos on his body?

Charlie thought to himself: "Damn it, it must be because of the pollution in the abyss. My cognition hasn't fully returned to normal yet?"
At this moment, Roland's words suddenly diverted his attention.

Roland said, "Brother Charlie, are you going to Valeria again? Is that old Baron Hall still alive? Is Aunt Julie okay?"

Roland threw out a bunch of questions at once, and Charlie's attention was immediately distracted.

Charlie smiled when Baron Hall was mentioned.

Charlie said: “You mean Lord Victor?
I didn't go to Valeria, but Lord Victor took the Valeria Mercenaries to Arakko Prison. They participated in the Battle of the Yellow Fern. They were quite formidable.

A knight nearby interjected, "Those mercenaries were just ordinary people, yet they blocked a rift in the abyss. Alas, many died. This time, they didn't just fall into the abyss's virtual realm; they truly died."

Everyone was silent, and Florence prayed: "May the heroes rest in the arms of the goddess Heraclea."

Charlie said, "Victor is still alive. His Excellency is very lucky. His Majesty is also doing very well. She has been independently supporting herself for so many years. The Secret Society will take care of her like a treasure."

The knights beside him couldn't help but complain:

——"We are getting older and older, but this couple remains the same as they were back then. There is no change at all."

— “This is the difference between the path of faith and that of belief.”

Florence coughed aside, reminding everyone not to say such outrageous words.

Roland was stunned for a long time before he suddenly realized and asked, "Baron Victor Hall's name is Victor?"

Charlie said, "Yes, there's a statue of him over there in the corridor. Three hundred years ago, he saw through the church, gave up his faith, and started over. He created his own path of knighthood."

Many knights discussed:
"As expected of a senior, he was at about the same level as us back then. But when he was in Arracca, he displayed a strength that was almost approaching his original level."

"Speaking of which, the old man is quite cunning. If the Yellow Fern King hadn't targeted him at the very end of the battle, and he hadn't unleashed all his strength to escape, no one would have noticed that he had re-entered the realm of demigod!"

"However, it has been almost thirty years since the incident at the Yellow Fern Ruins. He has been using the Holy Grail for a while, so it is normal for him to break through the bottleneck."

——"After all, we are people who walked out of the Yellow Fern Ruins. We have made progress, and you, sir, will surely make faster progress."

Roland chatted with everyone for a while, and then it dawned on him.

Baron Hall follows the ways of the East, unlike the southerners, whose power does not belong to them. Therefore, he has not aged at all.

Madam Julie, a witch from the Secret Society, originally had the strength of an early first-order witch. Now, after more than thirty years, she has reached the middle first-order. So, she hasn't aged at all.

Roland couldn't help but recall some of the conversations Baron Hall had with his senior.

Baron Hall's real name seems to be Victor.

This guy told Aunt Julie that he was only two or three years older than her, but in fact, this old man was more than three hundred years older than his wife!
By the way, when Catherine addressed Baron Hall, she seemed to have used the word "immortal"!

So, was it Catherine or Alexandra that Baron Hall knew?
In fact, the two had known each other for over two hundred years. When Wallace helped Catherine crawl back from hell, he even sought help from Baron Hall. And he had used his own channels to get some things from the south for Catherine.

It was because of this old friendship that Catherine went to visit Valeria.

It turned out that the problem was so serious.

At that time, Baron Hall told Catherine that if she found the situation difficult, she could just take Roland away.

But Catherine still called a large group of people to help.

It can be said that whether Catherine entered the Fern Forest or not, she would definitely meet Roland - Baron Hall was the matchmaker between Roland and Catherine.

Charlie told Roland that the Halls had originally planned to travel, but because their daughter Alice had entered the White Chess Academy through Catherine's relationship, they wanted to wait until their daughter was older before leaving.

As a result, Catherine wrote a letter to Baron Hall because of Arakka's incident, and the couple brought people back to repay their gratitude.

Charlie said, "The light of dawn favors them. Before they left, they said they wanted to visit the North Pole and then the western desert. I guess they're really starting their journey this time."

Everyone envied the couple very much.

We chatted for a long time and decided to go out for a drink together when we had time.

The knights had only emerged over a decade ago and were unaware of the scandal surrounding Roland and Catherine. They had been on duty here for the past few days, keeping a distance from the outside world.

Therefore, they did not know the relationship between Roland and Catherine, let alone the relationship between Roland and 'Isabella'.

They just asked Roland if he had a girlfriend. After getting a positive answer, they teased Roland and asked him to bring his girlfriend over when he had time.

These words made Roland feel a little stiff.

If he brought Isabella with him, Florence and the old Black Abyss would have to kill him.

Of course he wouldn't bring it.

However, he inexplicably asked, "Alice entered the White Chess Academy? Is she included in this exchange?"

This question stumped the knights.

They had only seen Alice as a child, and knew that Baron Hall had such a daughter who had entered the White Chess Academy, but they didn't know much more.

Although they had come with the East Territory people this time, they had no idea who was in this delegation. After all, there were so many people in the delegation that even Ambassador Aiel would have to check the list to find out who was there.

At this moment, Florence suddenly pulled out a long scroll. After looking at it, she said, "There are two people named Alice. They are both in the church."

Roland's eyes lit up, and he asked again, "What about Helena and Joan? Are there these two people?"

Florence said, "There are three Helenas. There are too many Joan in the South. You know, Joan is another name for a woman named John. There are many variations in Southern spoken language, including 'Jean,' which is also a variation of Joan."

Roland felt overwhelmed.

However, many people are at the church, so just ask and you will find out!
After saying goodbye to Charlie and the others, Roland and Florence pushed open the door of the room where the Holy Church was located.

There was actually a small prayer room just inside the door!
A nun in a red robe was kneeling here, praying devoutly.

Roland once wondered if he had entered the wrong room, because this was just an ordinary prayer room.

He looked at the nun in red in the room, moved closer to her with a strange look on his face, and looked down at her face.

“狄安娜？”

Diana raised her head and reached out to push Roland aside.

Immediately, Roland felt a familiar suction force. He responded to it, and the scene before him changed.

Immediately afterwards, a magnificent cathedral appeared before Roland's eyes.

This was within the Serpent Ring. Diana wore the Ring and spent her days quietly in the prayer room. Besides praying, she would sit in meditation. Florence and the people within the Ring took care of her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

Diana had seemed quite impatient with Roland earlier. Apparently, the senior had been harassing her quite a bit lately.

While Roland was distracted, Florence appeared beside him.

The two of them climbed the steps and pushed open the church door. A wave of noisy heat rushed towards them, and Roland felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of water.

There are probably thousands of people in this cathedral, and there are hundreds of them in the main hall chapel alone.

There are many dawn priests, many white chess wizards, and some wizards dressed very extravagantly.

Those wizards with exaggerated appearances should be the wizards of the 'Order of the Gulliver'.

Florence said, "Let me take you to see the project leader."

The word "project" is actually quite popular in the East, but in the East, "project" often refers to "intangible anomalies" or "tangible anomalies." Little Leona is a "project."

In the South, the word "project" obviously doesn't refer to these strange things, but rather to engineering. The project here is led by a senior member of the Order of the Holy Chant.

Florence praised the lady to the skies, saying that even the proud teacher Johnson had a high opinion of her.

This aroused Roland's curiosity.

The old Heiyuans called the South a 'primitive society'!

They searched for the Seven-Pointed Table for more than ten years, but the Philosopher's Stones they found were not as much as Roland's private money.

The wizards here don’t even have many magic stones, so what achievements can they make in magic?

Roland followed Florence into the chapel, his gaze fixed on the chant wizards.

Their clothing and attire were of great archaeological value. Roland had seen illustrations of wizards from ancient times when he was an apprentice in the "History of Wizardry" course.

At that time, they were still called magicians.

In their hands they held large staffs, not wands.

In fact, magic wands have existed since ancient times. In ancient times, both magic staffs and magic wands had their own advantages and disadvantages. However, with the development of magic and alchemy, the magic wands of the Eastern Territory have completely replaced the large staff.

But the wands of the East have never become popular in the South.

Roland has a certain understanding of the history of oil painting and theology, and he believes that this is due to the relationship between the church.

The magic wand was originally a tool used by the gods. This is reflected in many oil paintings. In some classic myths, there are stories of goddesses using magic wands to transform kings into pigs. And there are also oil paintings of this.

Therefore, the wand is a tool of God.

Roland didn't know what to make of the wizards of the Order of the Holy Chant.

Their magic wasn't ineffective, but it was too simple. These people seemed to only know a few simple elemental magics. The types were very limited, basically tricks like 'Frostbolt' and 'Fireball'.

But the value is full.

This is difficult to comment on.

Moreover, Roland discovered that these southern wizards were very powerful in space magic, especially the lady in front of him.

This person's realm was similar to Roland's, and she had probably just entered the middle stage of the second stage. Roland sensed a sense of threat from her, similar to that of the Three-Headed Serpent Leader, Dagmar.

Moreover, this young lady seemed to be very knowledgeable, especially in various sacred magics, and had extremely unique insights.

She was explaining the theory of how to use space magic and sacred magic to a group of wizards from the Order of the Chant and the elite wizards of Baiqi, as if she was trying to solve a current dilemma of the project.

She also used 'Klein bottle', 'Mobius strip' and other examples many times.

It seems that everyone intends to alchemize this church into a powerful holy object with sealing power.

Roland thought to himself, "They're actually helping me with alchemy, but didn't Florence say before? The most important thing is to use the church to research the insane mystery? How did my senior sister persuade her to let the Order of the Chant and the Order of the Dawn work for me for nothing!"

It feels so good to be a gigolo.

It sounds like everyone is working overtime for the project's acceptance.

Soon, some wizards left. The young lady looked over the reports of the remaining wizards and offered some advice. Then she looked over here.

Florence immediately introduced Roland respectfully: "Roland, this is 'Ms. Belinda'. She is my mentor in magic."

Miss Belinda is very dignified and noble, but she has a beauty mark under her eye, which makes this noble lady look a bit charming.

Roland couldn't help but recall some images of the young lady twisting her waist.

He quickly collected himself and introduced himself very politely.

Ms. Belinda seemed to have heard a lot about Lawrence and knew that this church was related to him.

She introduced Roland to the place very modestly and said she would take him to see it herself.

Florence followed the two for a while. Seeing that they had become somewhat familiar with each other, she said, "Mrs. Belinda, Mr. Lawrence, I have something else to do. You guys go ahead and call me if you need anything."

She didn't go out today specifically to pick up Roland.

She already has a lot on her mind.

Roland had already taken up a lot of her time, and Florence had to go to a meeting soon.

She told Roland that she would be back as soon as she was done with her work, and then asked Belinda to help connect with Roland first.

Although Roland and Ms. Belinda had just met, they were both practical people, so they told Florence not to worry.

After Florence left, Lady Belinda looked at Roland and said, "Didn't you say you'd send the boat over soon? I've been waiting for you on that lousy island for a year and a half!"

Do you know how much trouble we encountered when we first came ashore?"

Roland was sweating coldly. He had not stood up the pigeon for just a year and a half, but for twenty-four years!
This Miss Belinda is none other than Countess Wendishah.

Previously, when they were on the slave ship, Roland had cheated on her once - of course, it was little Roland who coerced her into doing it by using threats and inducements.

However, no matter how you look at it, Roland has to take the blame.

Because little Roland is a "coral tattoo" on his face, and he is the one who feels good.

Furthermore, Roland had promised to help him contact Catherine and arrange an identity for him in the south, but he ended up standing him up.

Therefore, Roland felt guilty in front of Lady Belinda.

Roland said, "You're doing pretty well."

Lady Belinda whispered, "Bullshit! I want to leave this damn church every day. Do you know how those lunatics deal with vampires in Malrod?"

Roland's eyes moved slightly and he asked, "How did you deal with it?"

Lady Belinda gritted her teeth and said, "Plant it into a tree!"

Roland's expression was a bit strange. Malrod's sacrifice seemed even stranger than he had imagined.

Lady Belinda complained bitterly that as a vampire she had to stay in the church.

Moreover, he has gradually become a big boss in a certain sect.

Now she couldn't run away even if she wanted to. She could only cry secretly under the quilt.

After complaining for a while, she concluded, "I've been having nightmares every day. This time when you go to the ruins of Malrod, you must bring me some 'blood tree juice'. They've made so many sacrifices, there's bound to be something growing in the ruins!"

Roland was slightly stunned.

So this guy said all this just for money! How realistic!

Roland said, "Didn't Catherine promise you any benefits?"

Lady Belinda said, "She promised what she promised, and you promised what you promised. How about that, handsome boy? The sap of the Blood Sacred Tree is the main ingredient of many precious potions.

It is of great use to both the Holy Blood Clan and the Heraka Clan.

As long as you collect enough, your servants will have enough supply of potions.

Then their cultivation speed must be faster than yours."

In Lady Belinda's opinion, twenty-four years ago, Roland was an early-stage first-level wizard.

Twenty-four years ago, Roland was an early-stage second-level wizard.

It would take a normal wizard a hundred years!
Lady Belinda was obviously unaware of the true situation.

It only took Roland two months to reach his current level from the middle stage of the first level!
This is because he deliberately delayed. If he didn't delay, three days would be enough!
Moreover, Roland is not in the early second stage now.

It’s the middle stage of the second stage!
Lady Belinda did not realize his realm.

In other words, Roland could now hang her up and beat her.

Madam Belinda continued with a smile, "Although your current realm is not as good as mine, it should not be a problem for you to take some sap from the Blood Sacred Tree along the way.

If you take enough, you can use it to make 'nectar of hell', summoning powerful demons from hell to command you, or even make angels fall and become your slaves.

You provide the ingredients, I provide the recipe, and we all share it.”
