I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 362: The Kingdom of God is Coming! My Cult Followers!

The notice from the Holy See came down several months ago, but it did not ask Isabella to join the archaeological team, but asked her to take people to Malrode to deal with the cult.

I heard that the cultists caused a great flood that submerged the entire Maltese land.

Many people are affected by the disaster.

This incident delayed the opening of the ruins.

Since the Holy Church was still under renovation and needed Roland's cooperation, Roland stayed alone in Wilmik. When the senior left, she took Anna and the old charlatan with her.

I heard that the old charlatan got there and immediately connected with the cultists. He was incredibly efficient. I heard that when he contacted the cultists, he didn't even use Hans as a middleman!

Roland stayed in Wilmick waiting for news from his senior.

As a result, I waited for half a year.

Roland thought the Vatican had changed its mind and was no longer planning to let them participate in the ruins. But the senior was very calm.

The old Heiyuans were also very calm.

Everyone is very familiar with the Vatican's style of doing things.

They felt that the Holy See would not open the ruins unless the situation in Malrode was stabilized.

They expected the opening of the ruins to be postponed until winter, so they changed the alchemy plan and further improved the Holy Hall.

What the old Heiyuans said is absolutely correct.

The senior student only told Roland in November that the ruins would open in early January when it was the coldest.

But the old Black Abyss didn't rush Roland, saying they didn't need to spend time on the road to Malrod. So everyone continued to improve the Holy Hall without any rush.

As the deadline approached, the old Heiyuans finally finished their work and told Roland that he could leave today.

Take the Holy Church.

The old Heiyuans added a "Heaven Comes" function in the Holy Hall.

It can make the Holy Hall like heaven, instantly opening a door in this world and bringing the user to the corresponding coordinates.

However, the Holy Church has become more complex after its second renovation in recent months.

What Roland had originally learned was no longer useful.

Now, Roland was standing in the Holy Church, flipping through the "instructions manual".

Fortunately, everyone in the Holy Church had left, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing to see this scene.

But Roland couldn't be blamed for this.

Originally, the transformation of the Holy Hall by the old Heiyuans was very simple. Roland only needed to understand one tenth of the content to use it.

Roland had been preparing for this tenth of the content for nearly half a year and was already confident about it.

As a result, when the exam came, the questions changed!

Roland was now in a state of great difficulty. He flipped through the magic books in front of him while cursing:

"Damn you R&D team! You made this thing so complicated, and yet you tell me there's no time to inject the 'weapon spirit'. So I have to manually adjust tens of thousands of circuits before it can be used. Why don't you just go to hell!"

The snake ring was also a very complex treasure. But it had a spirit, so Roland could use it with just a thought.

The internal magical structure of strange objects such as dimensional bags is actually very complicated, but there are complete magic circles and spells on them. Roland only needs to recite the corresponding spell to activate the corresponding magic circuit and use the effect he wants.

So, the Snake Ring is like a complex computer with built-in AI.

Other strange objects are computers with fool-proof interfaces.

But the Holy Church is different. It has no AI and no graphical operating system. When you open it, the contents inside are all 0s and 1s!

The old Heiyuans are indeed very reliable in their work, because the holy hall they created through alchemy is unprecedentedly powerful.

But they are also very unreliable, because this thing is not for human use at all!

Roland is obviously not an ordinary person, because he can use this Holy Hall!
However, he had to read the instructions while using it!

If the enemy saw this scene, they would laugh their heads off.

But to be honest, when the old Heiyuans demonstrated how to use the Holy Hall to Roland, they also looked through the instruction manual (magic book).

Thinking of this, Roland suddenly felt that it wouldn't be a big deal to just flip through the instruction manual when using this treasure of his.

"nailed it!"

Roland wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously. He looked at the last piece of divine script that shone brightly in the Holy Hall and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the time, Roland found that it was already noon.

“It took the whole morning!”

"So every time I use it, I have to spend a whole morning preparing it?!"

However, although it takes a while to prepare before each use, once the preparation is complete and the Holy Hall is adjusted, it only requires a few simple operations when it is used.

Of course, you also have to read the instruction manual (magic book).

Shaking his head, Roland came to the 'Magic Matrix (Answering Machine)' and predicted whether he would be able to successfully reach Malroth when he began to 'descend'.

The success rate is around 87%.

The Holy Church has only undergone the first phase of renovations, and the main content of the first phase of renovations is the "seal" and other functions. The purpose is to allow Roland to use it to save his life in the ruins.

'The Coming of the Kingdom of God' actually belongs to the second phase of the project. The original plan was to carry it out after Roland obtained more documents and materials from the ruins.

However, 'non-interdimensional teleportation' doesn't require many specialized materials. The relevant technology is also very well-developed at the Baiqi Academy. Therefore, the Holy Hall has the basic conditions for the 'Kingdom of God' transformation.

Therefore, the R&D team completed this work in the past few months.

But since this is the first test, the success rate cannot reach 100%.

Roland used the answering machine to divine the reasons for the 13% failures and found that they were all accidents caused by minor problems.

The most serious consequence was that three magic circuits failed to activate during the activation process and needed to be adjusted. This consequence would cause the Advent to come to an abrupt halt, leaving the Holy Hall motionless.

The probability of this consequence is 0.003%.

It seems the alchemy team is quite capable. The quality of the Holy Hall is very good.

The answer machine determined that the most likely accident was "the holy church responding to the believers' prayers." This probability exceeded 12%.

In other words, if someone near the coordinates randomly prays to the gods in the sky, then the Holy Temple may fall on their heads.

Roland thought to himself, "It seems that everyone still hasn't fully solved the mystery of the Holy Hall. We need more old scriptures."

Roland closed his eyes and sensed the situation outside the snake ring.

Outside the snake ring, Diana and her seven heroic servants were praying quietly, while Leona was jumping around and making trouble.

There were some Old Heiyuan and other monks in the room. No one dared to make too much noise and they were communicating with their minds.

There were some magic circles under their feet. When Roland landed there, everyone would use the magic circles to monitor him in real time. If anything went wrong, they could guide Roland back.

There were more than twenty people in the room. They were all going to the ruins this time.

They would take a ride with Roland.

But they went there on behalf of the Order of the Aurora and the Order of the Chant. Two of them were actually cardinals.

Therefore, after they followed Roland to their destination, they would immediately separate from him.

Roland opened his eyes, flipped through the magic book, and recited a passage of divine script. Then a pillar of light appeared in the Holy Hall, and Theresa descended from it, a bewildered look on her face.

A closer look revealed a pair of angel wings on her back. Her aura was forcibly raised to the early second stage. ——Summoning an angel!
This is a power of the Holy House.

During the research on the Holy Hall, everyone discovered that this thing can summon Diana and the Seven Heroic Spirits and give them a cheat for a short period of time.

The old Heiyuans studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure out why the Holy Hall could summon Roland's servants like summoning angels.

Everyone believed that this might be because the seven heroic spirits were all in the chapel when the Three Holy Mothers of Dawn blessed the Holy Church.

As for why Diana became an angel of the Holy Church even though she was not in the Holy Church at the beginning, it might be because it was her church.

This is the Church of Heraclea, and Diana is the son of Heraclea.

Roland believed that this speculation had some basis.

But he believed that the most likely reason was that Diana and the seven heroic spirits were originally "angels" - evil angels.

It is clearly written in the Book of Alayeh that Diana is an evil angel, and the seven heroes are evil heroes.

They are all from the Mad Dawn pantheon.

So does Roland.

Therefore, the Holy Church could only be commanded by Roland. Diana and the Seven Heroic Spirits were the "resident angels" chosen by the Three Holy Mothers for the Holy Church.

After trying this trick, Roland waved his hand and sent Theresa back.

Roland controlled Diana and asked the old Black Abysses behind him, "Who buried the anchor point on the Malrod side? Are there any cities nearby?"

An old Heiyuan said, "It was done by the old charlatan. There are often cult activities around that area."

Roland was speechless for a moment. He controlled Diana and asked, "Why bury the anchor there?"

The old Black Abyss said, "It's Isabella. She was active in that cult stronghold before. She originally planned to have you teleport there to meet her. But now two or three weeks have passed."

The senior is currently on an undercover mission, so no one dares to contact her easily. They're all waiting for her to contact them. So, no one knows if she's still there.

Someone asked, "That location is actually quite good, very close to the ruins, but it's blocked by a mountain. How can we land there without being discovered? Diana, what did Roland say to you? Is there something wrong with these coordinates?"

Roland controlled Diana and said, "That's not a problem, but when I descend, I might descend on top of the cultists because of their prayers."

Roland told everyone the results obtained by the answering machine, and everyone was speechless after listening to it.

Someone said: "Relatively speaking, it's a good thing to be discovered by the cultists. The cultists in Malrod are very weak, like rats crossing the street, hiding everywhere.

With the holy sight of the holy church, they will think you are an angel of judgment sent down from heaven. They will flee in panic and will not trouble you again.

If you feel uncomfortable looking at them, we can just kill them.

Moreover, even if you leave someone alive, you don't have to worry about the cultists spreading the news.

Because the cultists had no channels to communicate with the church, the news would not reach the church. If it did, it would be distorted beyond recognition. Moreover, the church would not believe the news that came from the mouths of cultists.

On the contrary, if the church finds out, it will be troublesome.

"Those guys are incredibly bold, and they're well aware of the circumstances surrounding the arrival of the gods from Heaven. The sacred scene in the Holy Church is completely different from the sacred scene during the arrival of the gods from Heaven, and they can tell the difference. And so they come to trouble you."

Another person said, "The Holy Church is our trump card against the Vatican archaeological team. Tell Roland that if he sees anyone from the Church, seal them directly into the Holy Church."

Others said, "We won't run into them. That's a secret location chosen by the cultists for their activities. There won't be anyone from the church nearby."

This is indeed true.

Thinking about it this way, the location chosen by the old charlatan seems to be very good.

They were just a bunch of weak cultists. Besides the seven heroic spirits, the weakest of them was a mid-level second-order warrior—Roland himself.

The other dozen or so people were three demigods and a dozen second-level strongmen.

This is an important force in the archaeological team of the ruins. Putting aside the strong men in the ruins, this group of people can destroy the entire Malrod!
Roland controlled Diana and said, "I'm about to start. Diana, if you find that the Holy Hall in the Snake Ring has disappeared, have everyone get into my Snake Ring. I will then use the Holy Hall to 'summon' Diana."

During the descent of the Holy Hall, it must travel through the 'virtual realm' of the lower world.

This was the first test, and we were hesitant to load too many people onto the boat.

On the one hand, problems can easily arise when multiple people descend.

On the other hand, this was the first time for the Holy Church, and Roland was unhappy that someone else had taken away this first time.

Of course, the most important thing is that if something happens to one person, people outside can still help. If everyone is on the boat and it capsizes, it will be the end of us.

Of all the people, Roland was the best swimmer, and his self-perception was particularly conflicted. If his boat capsized in the lower world, with help from everyone in the surface world, he could easily swim back.

Therefore, Captain Roland naturally won the first place in the Holy Hall.

After communicating with everyone, Old Heiyuan and his men stood in the answering matrix in the prayer hall, ready to monitor Roland's sailing.

Roland also withdrew his thoughts from Diana. He flipped through the magic book and adjusted the array in the Holy Hall.

Soon, the scene outside the gate was gradually shrouded in fog.

Looking at the fog outside, Roland couldn't help but frown. He muttered, "That's not right. Shouldn't the whole process be the same as when the 'Wishing Machine' is activated? Why is there fog?"

Roland hurriedly opened the magic book to check this phenomenon.

“Nothing written?!”

"Damn it! How did something happen that wasn't in the experimental records?!"

Roland scratched his head frantically, intending to teleport the Snake Ring to Old Heiyuan to take a look, but he found that he couldn't contact the Snake Ring.

"Wait. Have I been teleported out of the snake ring now?"

"Where was I teleported to?!"

Roland ran to the gate. His vision passed through the fog and saw nothingness.

"It's the Void Realm!" Roland's expression became very interesting.

The virtual world is a dimensional world deeper within the underlying world, a kind of subspace.

Roland had been to the Void Realm many times - the first time was when he followed Collard to the parallel world, and the second time was when he came back with Brianna and others.

This is the third time.

Logically speaking, the Holy Hall only travels within this plane and does not need to dive so deep.

Roland couldn't help but panic.

If anything goes wrong, I will be teleported to a parallel world!
Roland hurriedly flipped through the magic book and adjusted the course.

As he adjusted it, he pulled out a handful of sand—the sand of destiny. Once it was sprinkled on something, a thread of destiny intertwined with that object's fate would appear.

These destiny lines can be used as "routes".

After the sand slowly drifted into the holy hall, many silk threads appeared.

Among them, two threads are the most solid.

The first one comes from the Old Black Abysses. If we follow their thread, we can return the Holy Hall to Wermek.

This silk thread is very tough, strong enough to pull the entire holy hall.

The second thread was many times more dense than the threads of the old Black Abyss, composed of the faith of millions of people. Its destination was Malrod.

They are praying to God.

Roland's expression turned strange.

Those people seemed to be followers of the Alayeh sect of the Old Religion or cultists.
