I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 385: Frog in the Well! Pray for the Holy Grail!
Outside the pyramid-shaped ruins, numerous sea monsters were coming in and out, each holding a coral fork with numerous bubbles of varying sizes floating around it.

The bubbles contained numerous antiques, stone tablets, minerals, and even the corpses and living larvae of demonic insects.

The Sirens had piled these bubbles in the forest at the entrance to the ruins. There were so many bubbles that they had already engulfed several large trees nearby. It looked like a hemispherical pile of foam covering an area over thirty meters in diameter.

The scope of this bubble is still slowly expanding.

Not far from the foam, beneath a towering tree, were several dismantled stone tablets floating. Near the tablets were also floating numerous stone slabs of varying sizes.

A group of priests were recording and translating the contents of these stone tablets. Faqi, the Great Prophet, and Roland were standing in front of the large stone tablets, reading the contents on them.
Hydra, the Old Church, and Roland were all very curious about the contents of these stone tablets.

Everyone hoped to discover more secrets of Aurelie's Chamber (the Great Ruins) from it, but the contents of the stele were mostly unrelated to Aurelie's Chamber. They were mostly about the history of the kingdom, divination records, and so on.

After listening to the Great Prophet's translation for a while, Faqi sighed and said, "It's incredible. The people living in this garden don't know the outside world. They don't even know that this is not a complete world.

They are like goldfish in a small pond.”

The Great Prophet sighed, "Indeed. According to some earlier records, the ancestors of this kingdom were followers of the Old Church. They managed the gardens for the goddess Aurelie and built this 'tower' for research and maintenance of the gardens, as well as for managing the 'God-created humans' here."

This group of believers of the ancient Old Religion initially pursued faith and truth at the same time.

They even studied forbidden magic, and their magical attainments were astonishing, so much so that the perfect gods created by Aurora regarded them as mentors.

But the goddess took such good care of them that all they had to do was to express their wishes and they would get what they wanted. The descendants of the believers gradually abandoned their pursuit of truth and devoted themselves completely to faith.

The desire for power prompted them to adopt a policy of keeping the people ignorant, and the magic and origins they once possessed became taboos that people could not touch.

Gradually, the rulers also forgot all this.

They are even unable to interpret past history and regard the former research institute as a miracle to worship God.

God's grace enabled them to create a glorious civilization.

But gradually, the war of the gods in the outer world began. Goddess Aurelie was often absent from the bedroom and rarely paid attention to it.

He told these things to the people here, but the people here had completely lost the common sense of the outside world and were unable to understand this "oracle".

They took this as a test, and built one wonder after another, calling on the gods.

Occasionally, the goddess would return with some response, and people would think that their sacrificial rituals were done correctly. They even summarized these things into an absurd rule - every time a wonder was built, the god would respond once.

Later, the goddess followed the gods and left this world completely. No matter how people called out, no god responded to them.

After a pause, the Great Prophet looked at Faqi and Roland and said, "This kingdom didn't die at the hands of the demon insects. They were plunged into internal strife and returned to the Stone Age, perishing in tribal disputes.

Before their demise, this 'holy city' had already become an 'ancient ruin'."

Faqi said in astonishment: "How is this possible? Why did they abandon the city and live in the forest?"

The Great Prophet said: "This city needs magic to maintain it. Their ancestors have forgotten these technologies, but the goddess is maintaining it.

After the gods left, these people gradually lost track of how to use even tap water.

The city's population was too dense and its geographical location was not suitable for farming, so the population gradually left the city.

They needed to farm, hunt, and find sacrifices to offer to the gods.

Later, they even lost the ability to farm, and later, these "giant babies" of God became extinct in the cruel competition of nature.

The crowd around them was translating and listening to these stories. Officer Roland checked a few stone tablets and found that the Great Prophet's summary was correct. He couldn't help but sigh, "How absurd.
God created a perfect paradise with unlimited resources. Yet the people in paradise starved to death.

The priests around hummed and said:

——"It's not ridiculous. That's just how stupid old-school believers are."

— "Holy shit! This is the epitome of Protestantism right now!"

"The wizards in the East don't need to do anything. All they need to do is sever the connection between the divine realm and the pasture, and the sheep will starve to death."

——"Our path is correct, the church must be reformed!"

"From some records, it's not difficult to guess. Goddess Aurelie also uses magic. She even has a teacher, a forbidden wizard teacher!

This is a revolutionary discovery!

The Old Church cannot give up magic!"

——"This is not a groundbreaking discovery. Many records show that gods such as Heraka are masters of forbidden magic.

The great prophet was right! Faith alone and prayer alone are meaningless, just like a bird that only knows how to sing!

Roland listened, his composure unsettling. He asked, "If you focus solely on magic, then what's the point of your sect and faith?"

Many priests looked at Roland with a look that said, "You are very ignorant." One priest said, "What do you know? We are all..."

The priest shut up mid-sentence. But Roland guessed what the madman was about to say—we are all one, God is us, and we are God. So when we study the truth, it is God studying the truth.

These psychopaths!
Many priests were discussing this. Faqi, standing nearby, asked, "Are there no valuable documents here?"

The Great Prophet said, "If you're talking about magic, then I'm afraid there aren't any valuable documents. However, many of the items here are of great research value.

Judging from some of the preserved items, they all applied ancient magic. If reverse deduction is conducted, it will be of great research value.

But for us, the magic of the Old Church is poorly developed, far inferior to that of the East.

If we really want to explore the magical value of these things, we may need to cooperate with the wizards in the East to develop them together."

Roland's eyes moved slightly.

These ancient technologies can be applied to submarines!
This large garden is an independent world, hidden between the lower world and the surface world, along with the entire Aurora Palace. It can rise to the surface or dive deep into the depths.

There will be a lot of technologies that submarines will need!
The pyramids contain many items used to maintain the gardens and record a lot of technical knowledge, so they are indeed of great value.

Moreover, ancient magic is of great help in the study of the Path of Faith.

Even those ancient spells that are not as sophisticated as modern ones can allow wizards to observe the truth from another perspective.

Faqi said, "I don't know if we'll succeed in this matter of the ruins. If the things in the ruins can't help us open the divine realm, we should consider cooperating with the wizards of the Eastern Territory. If we can thoroughly study the things here, it will be of great help in opening the divine realm."

Roland's eyes moved slightly.

Hydra and the Old Cult also seemed to be considering a similar "submarine" plan. However, their goal was not to reach the Otherworld, but to reach the Divine Realm and then break through to the Divine Realm.

This will lead to mass extinction.

However, on the bright side, this means that the Old Church and Hydra do not intend to break off relations with the East so soon.

In this way, the lives of the senior and Anna should be guaranteed.

As for the fact that I have waited for the last door, there is an 80% chance that I will ascend to heaven according to the old charlatan's plan!

The Great Prophet continued, "As for the historical documents, it's a bit complicated. There are many records about gods here. If these things were released, gods would no longer be mysterious. This would shake the foundation of Protestantism.

It will also have a certain impact on the Old Church and the Hydra that believes in the Old Church’s teachings.”

Faqi said with a headache: "I thought there would be some treasures here, but it turned out to be all biting jellyfish. It hurts and itches when I hold them in my hands, but it's a pity to put them down."

Roland had seen Miss Fudge eating jellyfish before, and the sirens seemed to like this snack very much.

The Great Prophet said, "I will discuss this matter with His Majesty Andra."

Roland thought to himself, "It seems a large number of people in Hydra are followers of the Old Church. So the Great Prophet is equivalent to half a patriarch of a sect."

However, it was Andra who originally exercised the patriarchal power.

Therefore, those cult-crazed fans of Hydra respect the Great Prophet very much, but the top leaders of Hydra hate people like the Great Prophet very much.

The two groups appear to be harmonious, but in reality, they are full of contradictions. If they have a problem with the distribution of interests in the ruins, they will definitely fight.
At this time, a group of sirens came over and reported something to Faqi. They seemed to have been looking for something in the ruins before, but found nothing.

Faqi frowned and said, "Great Prophet, the 'Blessing Holy Grail' you mentioned may not be here, or it may have been taken away by O'Reilly's Son."

The Great Prophet was stunned for a moment and asked Faqi, "Isn't it in this kid's space ring or dimension belt?"

Faqi said, "No, I've seen them all."

The Great Prophet said, "Impossible! I just predicted it. It is in this garden and has not been taken away!"

Both of them looked at Roland coldly.

Roland spread his hands, sweating profusely, and said, "I've never even seen that Holy Grail. I've given you everything! If you don't believe me, search! I don't have anything on me anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Roland floated in front of Faqi with a force.

"Your mouth is harder than a conch. Humph."

The mermaid lady stretched out her four arms and began to grope Roland all over with a frown.

After a moment, Faqi tightly grasped something and sneered, "You actually hid such a large wand in a place like this! Do you think I can't find it?"

Roland hurriedly grabbed her hand and shouted, "Don't pull it! That's not a wand!"

Fudge frowned and shook his hand twice, then looked at Roland in disbelief, as if he hadn't expected this 'dwarf' to have such a big thing.

She pushed Roland away in disgust. Roland rubbed himself with a grimace and cursed in his heart.

Faqi said to the Great Prophet, "This kid has nothing on him. Is there something wrong with your prediction?"

Roland said, "I really haven't seen any Holy Grail. Perhaps you can tell me what it is. I may have seen it in the ruins before."

The Great Prophet's face darkened.

He looked at Roland for a long time and realized that he was probably telling the truth, so he put on a friendly face again.

He smiled at Roland hypocritically and said, "Child, think about it carefully. Maybe you have seen it before.

It was a sacred object recorded in the stone tablet, which could be used to communicate with the gods, allowing them to bless and baptize people and create the Son of God.

The inscription on the tablet doesn't give a detailed description of its appearance, but Goddess Aurelie has been using this holy tablet to create 'Dragon Slayers'."

In order to help Roland recall better, the Great Prophet told Roland some of the contents of the stone tablet.

This guy O'Reilly has a great sense of humor.

When she discovered that the people here knew nothing, she must have tried to teach them again. But these spoiled little pets had already been spoiled.

On the one hand, they cannot learn, and on the other hand, they hope that their people are stupid. So they have been secretly obeying while learning.

O'Reilly was very impatient in doing things, so after teaching them a few times, she found that even if these people learned, they would quickly forget it, so she stopped teaching them.

Therefore, in order to ensure that this group of people could still live a better life in this dangerous abyss garden when she left, she found a golden holy grail.

This is something created by the ancient forbidden wizards. It can gather people's faith and then transform faith into 'divinity'.

Theoretically, this thing can create a god.

There weren't many people in the garden, so they couldn't create gods. But they could use their divinity to do many things.

For example, giving birth to strong people, alchemy, and casting spells.

Normally, this golden holy grail looked ordinary, like an ordinary object made purely of gold, silver, and gemstones.

But when it gathers faith, it will reveal magical power.

Because strange lights and shadows often appear when the Golden Holy Grail is used, the believers in the garden mistake those lights and shadows for angels.

Therefore, the people of the ancient kingdom believed that it was the angels who came to bless the "warriors".

Or rather, the Son of God.

The power of the Golden Holy Grail wasn't limited to giving birth to powerful beings and creating holy children. However, the people of the Garden Kingdom constantly lost their knowledge during the process of inheritance. Therefore, they no longer knew how to make alchemy or cast spells.

Therefore, they remembered the simplest functions and believed that it was the power bestowed by God on the 'chosen ones'.

What's even funnier is that the original mission of this group of people was to breed 'mealworms' and take care of 'Tukala's' daily life.

But they regarded Tukala as an evil dragon that threatened the kingdom.

Tukara had complained to Aurelie many times, but Aurelie joined the dragon slayer game with a malicious interest.

She once played the role of a princess who was captured by a dragon and then asked the warriors of the garden to rescue her.

This story brought back many fond memories for O'Leary, so she asked the people of the Garden Kingdom to re-carve the Golden Holy Grail and engrave her favorite part of the story on it.

Hearing this, Roland was stunned for a long time.

He couldn't help but glance at little Leona not far away - she was holding a small wooden dragon in her arms.

It seemed that he had got the biggest treasure in the garden.

Now, Leona and I have transformed it into a wooden dragon. These guys shouldn't be able to tell that it's the Holy Grail made of gold, right?!

At this moment, Roland saw Faqi also looking at the little wooden dragon.

Roland's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, that woman was paying attention to me all the time. She saw me looking at the little wooden dragon, so she started paying attention to the dragon!
