I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 387 We are the people of the Old Religion! Can we cooperate?

The senior seemed to be stunned for a moment—it seemed to be true. Damn it, this reason couldn't convince Roland!

Roland thought to himself, "I think we should use that wings trick. The combined strength of the three of us should be no weaker than that female monster. Even if we can't defeat her, it doesn't matter. Once they confirm your identity, they won't..."
Before he could finish his words, the senior student angrily shouted in Roland's heart: "Bullshit! If my identity is exposed, we will have to go to the altar together!
Roland, I'll say this one last time!
If my identity is exposed, don't blame me for exposing yours too!"]
Roland asked in astonishment: ["What is my identity?"]
The senior student laughed and said, “Of course it’s the reincarnated evil god. Haha, what you said to deceive Faqi before is exactly in line with the crazy logic of those lunatics. The cultists will definitely believe it.”

If the evil god has descended, then the cultists can all offer sacrifices to help him ascend. It doesn't matter who I am.
Roland's expression turned extremely ugly.

The senior student obviously didn't think that her good-for-nothing son-in-law was some terrible evil god.

Otherwise, if he ascended, wouldn't everyone be finished?

But the thing is, Roland really is.

Roland thought to himself, "Enough of the jokes, Senior. What exactly are you planning?"
The senior student said, "Stop making any noise! ​​That woman is looking over here. Remember, don't contact me unless I initiate the contact!"
Roland raised his head and found that Faqi was indeed looking at him not far away.

He thought to himself, "This woman is always paying attention to me. I wonder if she overheard the conversation I had with my senior just now."

Faqi swam over and said to the Naga sea witches around Roland and the two sisters, "Paka, go get the geological report here. Let these people work here, and we'll go take a look around."

A Naga sea witch went to the crowd at the entrance of the ruins to give instructions, and then took some crystals containing recorded information from a Naga.

Then, Faqi took out a small clam from the conch at her waist. She chanted a spell, and then the clam gradually became as big as a house.

Roland's eyes moved slightly, and he thought to himself, "It looks like a flying wonder. I wonder how fast it is."
Numerous Nagas escorted Roland and the other two to the giant clam, following Faqi as they swam up to it. Faqi and several Naga sea witches sat cross-legged on the soft pads of the giant clam, looking like a giant python and a group of smaller snakes.

Roland and the other two stood among the many Nagas, with snake tails swimming everywhere around their legs.

The clam slowly closed its lid, but the inside was fluorescent and not dark.

Roland was secretly amazed and felt like he was riding on a flying saucer.

Roland thought to himself, "It can even be covered. Judging from its streamlined appearance, it should be quite fast when flying at full speed."

At this time, Faqi tapped the lid on his head from a distance, and then the clam shell on his head slowly became transparent.

Roland looked outside curiously, and then revealed a very interesting expression.

There are clouds here!
It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the sea clam flew here silently.

Not only was the speed terrifyingly fast, but Roland didn't feel any inertia!
Roland looked at Faqi in shock and asked, "What kind of black technology is this? Where did you get this thing?"

Faqi snorted and said, "You ignorant human. Children of the sea are born knowing how to fly. There's no need to learn from any ancient forbidden techniques."

Faqi interpreted Roland's "dark technology" as referring to ancient forbidden technology, and she wasn't wrong.

Roland was horrified. He thought to himself, "Has the Hydra's magic technology reached this level?"

He carefully observed the inside of the clam, and then it suddenly dawned on him.

He thought to himself, "I overestimated them. The sea is extremely rich in resources, so even though they don't have great alchemy technology, they have countless natural treasures.

This sea clam looked countless thousands of years old, with a faint divine aura. Before it was refined, it was probably on the verge of igniting the divine fire.

However, although this clam is a demigod's treasure, the alchemical dragon is the holy grail of the true god, and it is a treasure that can create gods.

If we could figure out how to make the Alchemy Dragon gather the power of faith, it would definitely be more powerful than this thing.'
The clam was flying slowly and aimlessly in the air. Faqi was reading the crystals in his hand with his mind, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Several Nagas around started chatting.

"Our things seem to work exceptionally well in this garden. Normally, your shells can only fly this fast in the deep sea. No, here, the speed seems to be even faster."

——"It's not just our things. Ever since I came here, I've been feeling the call of the deep sea. It's like standing in the arms of the sea god. I feel like I can beat ten cultists right now!"

——"Hush, don't talk nonsense. We are people of the Old Religion."

The Sirens chatted about other things.

Roland sighed secretly and said, "I almost forgot that this group of people also have buffs in the ruins, and they may be even more powerful.

Moreover, this banshee has a lot of treasures in her hands.

If the three of us, my senior and I, were to have nothing, we wouldn't be able to defeat her.'
Roland didn't even have a wand on him now.

He looked at 'Catherine and Anna' beside him and found that they were the same.

Just as Roland was thinking about how to escape from these cultists, he suddenly heard a Naga say.

"Master, are you going to fly to the teleportation point? It's still too early. That guy shouldn't have started fighting with that monster yet."

Roland's eyes moved slightly.

Faqi hummed, put down the crystal, and looked at Roland: "Can you make your spell lock more complicated?"

Roland shook his head and lied, "Your Highness, you think too highly of me. I'm just a mere second-level wizard. No matter how skilled I am, I can't compare to a demigod."

Besides, the Great Prophet's understanding of Eastern magic is probably even deeper than mine. However, I have a way to destroy this place and make the Great Prophet and all of you cultists die here."

Faqi said: "You and your fiancée are really a pair of virtuous people. As long as you get a chance, you will not forget to seduce me.

Stop dreaming, little brat.

This garden is far more valuable than the Great Prophet."

Faqi threw the crystal in his hand to Roland.

Roland curiously checked it out and discovered that it contained a magical map. Furthermore, the map was slowly expanding. It seemed that a group of Nagas were exploring the area, and their information was being synchronized to the crystal in real time.

After looking at the map for a while, Roland's pupils suddenly shrank.

A lot of geological information is recorded on the map, and in the area within a few dozen kilometers alone, there are three rare mineral veins and multiple common mineral veins marked.

And most of them are rich open-pit mines!
Faqi said, “Boy, this world has been a big pasture since ancient times.

In the Age of the Gods, things were fine. The mortals of that era didn't understand technology and didn't consume many resources. Only the 'rare' gods consumed resources.

Their vision was high, but they used very little. After the resources were developed, most of them were piled up in their own temples to gather dust.

But the forbidden era was different.

People all over the world are consuming resources.

That's a very large number.

Therefore, in ancient times, the resources on land, sea, and even the moon had already been almost fully developed.

Today, with the rise of new wizards, the resources that can be developed on land and in the 'shallow sea' are almost being exhausted.

The veins of raw magic stones needed for alchemical creations like the Philosopher's Stone are almost completely depleted. Judging by the documents in your fiancée's hand, your land's Philosopher's Stone production is less than 100 carats per year.

In other words, there are only a few of them every year!
Compared to magic stones, other rarer substances only have a few grams or even milligrams each year!
All the high-end items you make now rely on archaeology and recycling - to put it bluntly, you survive by picking up trash!

And there are no such resources in the "plateau" where we can set foot.

Unless it's deeper underwater.

The real seabed.

But no one can build a mine at such a deep seabed.

This garden has it all!
This is the deepest part of the ocean!

Everything we have is here, and everything we don’t have is also here.

And they are all rich mines!"

Roland nodded deeply.

He thought to himself: 'To make an analogy, the world's oil, nuclear energy and other resources can no longer be found on land.

It is extremely difficult for civilization to enter the next stage.

The things here can indeed support the entire civilization to move forward for a while.

Apart from anything else, the 'nuclear fuel' in the Great Yan River in the sky is enough.

Roland said, "I originally thought you were a nomadic tribe with no technology but abundant resources. You are indeed a nomadic tribe, but I didn't expect that your resources are so scarce.

What the ancient people did was really amazing.

All that was left to us was a shattered wasteland."

Faqi said: "In order to leave this world, the ancient ancestors almost drained the sea.

Although this metaphor is a bit exaggerated, judging by the many relics, in the ancient forbidden era, there seemed to be a behemoth with a terrifying appetite. Even the combined consumption of the gods would not be a fraction of its consumption.

Roland said, "That's called the magic industry of the entire civilization. Its consumption is indeed an astronomical figure.

Even if gods were to work as miners, they would not be able to supply its consumption.

All He could do was create such a garden and then let countless believers work on it.”

Faqi looked at the red clouds in the sky and said, “There are even resources from the center of the earth here.

Everything here is ready-made.

In addition to these rare substances, this is also an abyss potion garden with countless animals and plants!
Archaeology and development are both long tasks.

We will never destroy this place. It will require a huge investment and a large archaeological and construction team.”

Roland suddenly understood. He said, "You plan to occupy the entire ruins? I mean, you plan to swallow up the entire ruins?"

Faqi said proudly, "Goddess Aurelie's bedroom was originally managed by our Old Religion. It should be the same now.

Even if Poseidon fails, this ruin will be managed by us, not the Protestant Church!"

Roland chuckled and said, "You have a big appetite. Unfortunately, even if I gave it to you, you don't have the skills. I'm curious, what use would you have of these resources?"

With your alchemy skills, you can't even make the most basic magic gems, right?

Let me put it bluntly, your magic skills are not much better than this Garden Kingdom!
Without God's help, you will be like them, helplessly watching these abundant resources.

And your God will never want you to develop any technology like O'Leary did, so what's the point of you occupying this place?"

Faqi sneered, “We are indeed like the kingdom in the garden, a group of primitive people who rely on the gods.

We really don't understand anything.

But our slaves understand enough."

Roland was stunned for a long time before he realized what this meant.

What Faqi meant was that they would enslave the wizards of the East in the future.

He cursed inwardly, "You bitch! Your Sea God has never eaten at the table in his life. He's a loser!"
Follow Him, if you can win, I will be your fucking dog, so what! "

Faqi said: “Boy, I know you really want the Great Prophet to die, and you would rather consider cooperating with us than with the Old Church.

But perhaps you don't want to believe it, but the fact is, even if you win in the future, you still need the existence of the Old Religion just like us!

It's just that you, a bunch of non-believers, will be in a leading position in the cooperation with the old religion.
Therefore, you are better than us. You can create an old religion that you want.

Unlike us, they control us.”

Roland said, "You mean, the Thousand-Eyed King is also considering cooperating with the Old Church?
impossible!
This evil cult must be completely wiped out! Not a single person can be left alive!

My father-in-law would never be so stupid!"

Seeing Roland's defense broken like this, Faki smiled happily.

After a moment, she put away her smile and said coldly, "Don't play tricks on me, brat. Catherine and the Thousand-Eyed King's clones have long been in our hands.

In the blessing of the sea god, they have converted. Everything has been said.

So, I know your 'click machine'!
Decryption is far more complex than encryption. The spell lock you created cannot be cracked even by the wizards of the Black Abyss in a short period of time!

I don't need to trap these cultists for long, just a few days will be enough."

Faqi turned to look at Roland and continued, "I'll tell you the truth, we'll need the people from the Old Church to help us divert the people from the Holy See.

According to the plan, they must not go out these days.

I can promise you that if you can lead us into the last door later, we will not only spare your life, but also return your things to you.

We will even help you leave this world in the future.

This is in our interest.”

Roland thought to himself, "Naga has no credibility at all. If we really do this, everything will be over."
