I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 370: Ms. Faqi! Church Conservatives!

When Roland was looking at Hydra, some people on Hydra's side also looked at Roland.

There were a few cold looks among them that gave Roland goosebumps all over his body.

Roland followed the gaze and found that it was a group of Naga sea witches.

The Naga were an immortal race, belonging to the elves. Twenty-four years seemed as short as a few months to them.

Therefore, the appearance of this group of Naga sea witches has not changed at all.

Unfortunately, even so, Roland couldn't recognize these sea witches. He also didn't know that when he was imprisoned on the Titania, a group of sea witches had been responsible for guarding him, and after he boarded the slave ship, they were also sent aboard.

At the beginning, Roland had killed almost all the people on the Storm, but a small number of Nagas who had followed Dagmar back from exploring the fog survived by chance because they had not heard the Black Hymn.

Whenever the Nagas think of the shadow of the giant spider lying on the sea, they still have nightmares.

There was no way Roland could remember them, let alone know that there was still a three-headed snake alive on the Storm - if he knew, these poor Naga ladies would never have been able to escape.

Roland didn't remember these Nagas, but they would never forget the appearance of this damned dark wizard.

A Naga floated up and whispered to their extremely tall Sea Witch leader, "Your Highness, the spy planted in the Church by the Thousand-Eyed Demon King's clone is that person. I am absolutely certain that he is not 'Lorens'."

Back then, the Thousand-Eyed Demon King's clone devoured our master, Saladin, and disguised himself as him. He had been planning to arrange for this kid to impersonate Lawrence, the husband of Queen Malraux.

Their purpose should be to enter the ruins and cooperate with him!"

Naga leader Faqi said, "Interesting. Isabella and Ella are played by the Thousand-Eyed King's two daughters, and Lawrence is played by his son-in-law. They really think the Church is an idiot."

However, the people in the Vatican are indeed idiots."

After a pause, the Naga leader, Faqi, smiled at a person sitting next to him and said, "Father, the family of 'Saladin' is all here. The key has also been delivered."

The man was playing with a blue gem on his scepter. He looked over there and then revealed a very strange expression: "Who are those two people next to that kid?"

Faqi couldn't help but reveal an extremely strange look.

An attendant at the side said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I heard that the Thousand-Eyed King and his daughter have a thousand faces. Could the ones we captured be fake?"

The middle-aged man frowned.

Faqi shook his head decisively and said, "Impossible!"

The Naga follower said, "Who could they be?"

The middle-aged man and Faqi also looked confused.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who it is."

The man no longer paid attention to Roland.

Faki frowned and stared over there. She muttered, "Could it be a cultist?"

At this time, Roland on the other side also noticed Faqi's gaze.

He couldn't help but look at the Naga lady.

This Naga Sea Witch's is very 'long'!
Just her upper body in human form when standing upright was three or four meters tall, and her big tail was more than ten meters long.

The woman has four arms, holding a scepter and a harp in her hands, and a longbow behind her back.

On her head grew two bull-like horns, which were hung with golden rings.

She has no hair, and what grows on her head are fish fins, which grow together with her horns.

If you look closely, you can see some coral on top of her head, like a laurel wreath.

This is a demigod-level Naga sea witch, and must be one of the leaders of the Hydra.

However, she was not standing in the C position.

Next to her was a strange middle-aged man who was much taller than her.

The man was sitting on a chair, but he was as tall as the Naga leader.

He had human hair and human limbs, but his chin was raised, looking a bit like a dragon's snout.

Originally, this person should look very majestic, but he happens to be a little fat.

He had a round face and a big belly, which made him look like a medieval king.

He also wore a golden crown on his head, which looked very tacky.

But the clothes he wore were pure white gauze, full of divinity. He looked like an ancient sage king depicted in an oil painting.

His strength is even more unfathomable than that of the Naga leader.

Roland guessed for a long time, but he was not sure whether he was the legendary 'Hydra Andra'.

Because Andra's true form is a huge nine-headed snake.

Furthermore, that Hydra was the great slave owner of the Naga clan, and was rumored to be extremely brutal and cold-blooded.

Wizards in the coastal areas of the East often use the story of Andra to scare children.

But this big-bellied king seemed too harmless and too friendly. Not a hydra at all.

Moreover, his appearance has nothing to do with sea monsters.

But his realm made Roland feel a palpitation. In his eyes, this man was as powerful as a god.

Roland knew that this godlike aura wasn't due to this person's own strength, but rather to the Sea God standing behind him.

This is a spokesperson for the gods.

In the entire Hydra, there is only one spokesperson.

At this moment, Roland noticed a coral scepter in his hand. He had seen this scepter in the books on the Storm - the Scepter of Poseidon.

According to rumors, this scepter was originally inlaid with a gem called 'Poseidon Stone'.

Whoever holds this scepter can command the entire ocean.

This Poseidon Stone was once lost, so the top of the Poseidon Scepter should be empty.

But at this moment, the scepter that Roland saw had a gem on it - it was the Poseidon Stone.

This person must be Andra without a doubt.

He seemed to have found the Poseidon Stone.

Roland thought to himself, "Senior said the Thousand-Eyed King has always planned to get the Seagod Stone. He and Andra are both looking for the Seagod Stone's whereabouts. It seems Andra must have gotten the Seagod Stone first."

This is bad.

If there are any more mistakes in the ruins, the Eastern Territory will face an extremely serious situation.
Roland searched for Saladin among the Hydra's crowd, but couldn't find him.

This gave Roland a bad feeling.

On the left is Hydra and on the right is the Holy See.

Neither side is ours. It is terrible to do archaeology with these two groups.

At this time, a cardinal from the Vatican waved to Roland.

Previously, the cardinal had his back to this side, and Roland had not seen his face. Now that he saw his face, Roland felt much more at ease.

He is an old charlatan.

The three of them walked over there, and the two sisters secretly told Roland some information.

The two sisters were extremely familiar with church affairs. Not only could they call the names of every bishop and priest here, they also knew what they had done in Malrod.

Aside from the newcomer, Harland (the old charlatan), they were unfamiliar with everyone else. Over the past few months, Roland had already reviewed the information on all the important figures in the church.

However, the personnel list of the archaeological team is confidential and no one knows who they are.

So, Roland didn't know who was here.

Furthermore, the intelligence data collected by the wizards was flawed. In their eyes, as long as a person's identity, background, and position remained unchanged, the information was considered new.

But these idiots overlooked one issue - time.

So, Roland encountered a problem.

The information clearly showed him as a very young man, but in reality he had a full beard.

Therefore, although Roland had the information, he was unable to match these people.

Now, after hearing the two sisters mention it to him, Roland matched these people with the people in the information.

He thought about Lawrence's social relationship map and knew which people he should call out by name and which people he should not call out by name.

He asked someone from Hydra and learned Faki's name.

Soon, the three of them flew to the island where the bishops were and respectfully greeted the two cardinals.

Although the old charlatan is an old man in the Vatican, he has just put on the red robe. He plays the role of deputy here.

The other cardinal was named Joshua. He looked like an ordinary priest, but according to the information provided by the old Black Abyss, he was a mid-level third-order saint.

Bishop Joshua kindly praised the Gawain family for what they had done in Wilmick.

He said he needed to wait for the others behind him and would explain things after they arrived. So he chatted with Roland and the other two for a while.

This Joshua is a 'conservative' within the Church. But judging by the information provided by the old Heiyuan, this conservative is still very extreme.

However, he is very kind to his own people and likes to teach others.

Roland was now one of his own in his eyes, so when he spoke to him, he was like a father.

During the conversation, Roland discovered that this conservative moderate was indeed very "moderate".

In his eyes, although this world is the Garden of Eden created by God for believers, God has opened the door to everyone.

Therefore, what the church should do is to help people have faith, rather than to kill them off.

Therefore, he advocated using "the inspiration of the gods" to baptize each region one by one, rather than using "the judgment of the gods."

This "divine inspiration" is a kind of divine grace that can change a person's thinking at the cognitive level.

The judgment of the gods is different. After the divine light descends, all those who have faith will live, and all those who have no faith will go to hell or fall into the abyss.

According to wizards, these two things are essentially "awakened prisoners." However, because they are used after breaking through the divine realm, the scale and effect are extremely terrifying.

If the church truly unearthed some ancient artifact in the ruins and opened up the divine realm, they would be able to cleanse all the major areas of the Eastern Territory within a single day.

Then, slowly comb through the other areas one by one.

Joshua, a conservative in the church, is actually quite extreme.

Malrod is actually a testing area for "divine inspiration".

Through the repeated baptism of divine grace and divine punishment, everyone truly believed in God, and truly believed in Him.

However, they believe in gods because they believe that gods will bring salvation to the world. So they become "cultists".

Joshua was very supportive of what Malrod was going through and did not think it was causing suffering.

To put it bluntly, there's something wrong with the minds of the people in the church. They're not thinking from a human perspective, but from God's perspective.

Their concept of life and death is different from that of normal people.

For normal people, death means everything is gone. No one wants to die.

But they didn't believe that. They believed that when people died, they simply returned to the embrace of the gods. Those who were blessed would ascend to heaven and enjoy eternal bliss. The unfortunate would continue to waste their time in the human world, baptized by the River Styx.

Therefore, there is no difference between life and death. The important thing is not to fall. Because once you fall, you will no longer be accepted by the gods, and not only will you no longer enjoy happiness, but you will also suffer.

So the Protestant doctrine is based on this logic: God has given people everything, and as long as they serve God, they can have everything. But if God hates them, they will lose everything and be punished.

Therefore, believers must make up their minds, listen to God's will, and be like lambs, dedicating everything to God and the church that represents God.

Therefore, the church exists not to make people's lives better, but to serve God.

The despair experienced by the Maltese people was seen by the Church as a test for them. It was a good thing. Their inability to survive was a blessing for them.

And the elders in the church like Joshua are also setting an example.

——If Roland didn't know that this guy took the 'Malrod Elixir of Life' every month, he would have really believed his nonsense.

Joshua said that everything is illusory, and that returning to God's embrace is the ultimate meaning of life.

It says that one should give everything and understand the true meaning of faith through trials like the people of Malta.

But these church elders do not want to die, do not want to give up their rights and status, and do not want to make sacrifices.

Not only did they secretly take the elixir of immortality, not only did they frantically amass wealth and leave a huge fortune for future generations, but now they are also plotting against God.

Joshua said that everything in the ruins belonged to God, and they came here to work for Him. But he also said that God could not take these things away, so the church would keep them for Him.

Isabella asked, "Bishop Joshua, according to the documents passed down by our Gawain family, this ruin may be related to the 'Sincere Saint Aurelie'? But why do some people say that there are many evil spirits here?"

The old sect used to be the steward of this relic, and my sister is from the old sect, so she knows this relic very well.

She was absolutely certain that this was Aurelie's bedroom. She was also absolutely certain that Aurelie, like the White Queen, was a saint.

The White Queen is the pure white saint, and Miss O'Reilly is the sincere saint.

However, Miss Aurelie's status is higher because she is His biological daughter, the second generation of God.

The White Queen is a wizard, and her pure white saint was recruited through fists and political deals with the church and heaven.

But she could not communicate this matter with Joshua using her old religious identity.

So she mentioned 'the Gawain family documents.

The Great Seer had read the Gawain family documents and even showed them to her, so she knew that it was okay to ask this question from Isabella's perspective.

Joshua said, "Isabella, you know. In ancient times, there was a dispute among the gods. After the fall of this unknown god, the sincere archangel was sent by heaven to stay here for a period of time."

Later, He returned to heaven and was promoted to a new divine position, so this place was left to the old church to deal with.

But you know, the old religion eventually fell apart. So, they kept a lot of evil spirits here.”

The sister said "oh" suddenly in realization, then gave Roland a look - the Old Church definitely did not do this.

Joshua continued, "You don't have to worry about those evil spirits. This time, the God of Sincerity has sent an angel to help us explore the ruins and deal with the evil spirits here."

Roland nodded, roughly understanding what was going on.

That 'Miss O'Reilly' is probably covered in blemishes.

In the process of discovering and opening the relics, the church must have discovered many stains.

This incident alarmed Miss O'Reilly, and the church quickly cleaned up her mess.

In order to protect Miss Aurelie's reputation from being damaged, the church said that the god in the ruins was an unknown fallen god.

As for why there are things related to the God of Sincerity in this relic, it is naturally because the great and glorious Miss Aurelie stayed here for a period of time.
