I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

It turned out that after Roland discovered Faqi and Levina, he immediately used "All I Am" to descend upon the "scarecrow pretending to find something" that he had left in the lounge.

So he switched places with the scarecrow.

It turned out that Fudge had already put the scarecrow into the shell, so Roland appeared in the shell.

He pretended to be caught and secretly ordered Leona to take another scarecrow from the snake ring and throw it somewhere else.

Roland then successfully moved there, but the snake ring did not move with him to another location.

So he cast a spell on the Mermaid Mark on Leona's palm, summoning the Snake Ring. But he failed to summon the Snake Ring.

Out of desperation, Roland asked Leona to steal the snake ring from Faqi's shell, but Leona not only failed to steal the snake ring, but was also caught!
If you can't take the snake ring with you, then there's no point in running away.

So Roland returned to his original position.

Roland was very shocked. The fact that Faqi was able to capture Leoan could be explained, because the shell was, after all, a secret treasure made by alchemy from the body of a demigod mermaid.

It is a mysterious thing in itself. Although its seal is not as good as that of the Holy Hall, it is not that easy to enter and exit it.

When Roland escaped, he clearly felt the obstruction, but neither Shell nor Faqi could stop him.

In addition, Roland had already escaped once, and Faqi was even more vigilant. Therefore, Roland felt that it was reasonable for Leona to be stopped or even caught.

So letting Leona steal the snake ring from the shell was a risky move, and it was reasonable that she failed.

But Roland couldn't understand why he couldn't successfully summon the snake ring.

He was very sure that there was nothing wrong with the 'Mermaid Mark', but the snake ring did not appear in Leona's palm!
Roland was shocked and didn't understand what was going on. But he thought it might be related to the spell that Faqi had left on the snake ring. In addition, the shell was also the reason why he couldn't summon the snake ring.

He didn't understand what method Faqi used, so he asked Faqi, "How did you do it?"

After hearing Roland's question, Faqi snorted and did not answer.

She was secretly shocked.

Faqi had sensed what Roland had done to the snake ring a few days ago, but she didn't think Roland could summon the ring away right under her nose in this way.

But today Roland summoned the snake ring away.

——So, Roland successfully summoned the snake ring.

However, Faki summoned the snake ring back.

She didn't use any magic, just shouted and the snake ring came back.

She didn't use any magic, so Roland naturally couldn't understand her magic.

Therefore, Roland did not lose in magic, but in people.

Roland still doesn't know that the snake ring is the 'little Jimmy the Wallet'.

It had a way of following people - when Roland was in the fern forest, he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to.

Little Jimmy and Roland have been together for so many years, and he tends to favor Roland in his heart.

So, although Roland didn't know how to summon Little Jimmy, Little Jimmy would be willing to follow Roland even if Roland didn't use the spell.

But Roland didn't know how to summon Little Jimmy, but Faki did.

So, it wasn't that it was unwilling to follow Roland, but that it was forced to stay in Faqi's hands.

Faki cheated. She didn't answer Roland's question, "How did you do it?", but changed the subject.

She said with a half-smile, "Why, are you afraid that if you follow us in, you won't be able to run away?"

Roland sighed and said, "You are now qualified to say such things. I am too arrogant. I underestimated you."

Faqi's face couldn't help but turn red. There was nothing she could do to stop it!

Roland's magic is too strange. Unless you have studied the "Foolish Bible" thoroughly, it will be difficult to stop him.

Faqi asked, "Are you that afraid of me? Afraid that I'll kill you after I get you in?"

Roland opened his mouth and wanted to say "You are nothing", but he swallowed the words back.

He sighed and said, “Originally, I thought that if Catherine, Anna, and I joined forces, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with you wild wizards in the sea.

Of course, even if we may not be able to deal with you, we won't run away because we're afraid of you."

Faqi said, "Many wizards in your Eastern Territory are just as arrogant. In your eyes, everyone except yourselves is a wild wizard. The sirens in the sea are primitive people and beasts, and the southerners, whether Protestant or Old Believers, are just useless bastards who can only talk."

You've met a lot of great guys in the South, so it's time to put away your contemptuous attitude."

Faqi's words actually seemed to be teaching Roland.

After a pause, she said, "So, since you're not afraid of me, what are you afraid of? Wait, Roland, you don't still think Harland is a great prophet, do you?

So what if he is a great prophet?"

Roland said, "Faki, you don't understand what a Black Abyss wizard can do when he goes crazy!
Compared to him, the traitor we dealt with in Wilmik was just a little wizard named Harland who picked up a treasure and he was the real wizard!

We all thought he was a fake believer, a big charlatan, and that the magic he used to deceive people was just a crude trick.

He was indeed using magic tricks, but he must have understood the real magic!

He always claimed to be the spokesperson for the Madonna of Foolishness. We used to laugh at him for talking nonsense, but now looking back, he wasn't talking nonsense at all. He just told some lies!
This guy is definitely a true great prophet!"

Faqi said, "I don't understand what you are talking about, little wizard, great wizard. Even if he is more powerful than the great prophet 'Maquis' in the garden, so what?
After all, he is just a demigod who has not ignited the divine fire.

As long as the divine fire is not ignited, it can be dealt with.

If you and I join forces, we may not be able to defeat him."

Faqi said this, but his face showed a serious look.

With their own understanding of magic and terrifying magical power, coupled with Roland's mysterious side tricks, they might not be inferior to Marquis when they work together.

But Harland always made Faki feel confused.

In the past, she thought she understood the old charlatan very well - although this guy was strange and often did things that people couldn't understand, it was only because he was mentally ill and regarded herself as a believer.

But now she realized that the old charlatan might not be a madman at all.

Perhaps neither I nor anyone else really understood him from the beginning to the end.

Roland said, "You don't understand at all!
We are facing a spokesperson for God!
And he's the spokesperson for the Madonna of Foolishness. He's a mermaid, you know?!
Realm is meaningless to them!

If this guy goes crazy, I'm afraid only the Pope of Protestantism and the Thousand-Eyed King of the North can compete with him!
If a fight really breaks out, none of us can match him!"

Faqi was silent for a long time, and Livina couldn't help but interrupt, "To be honest, I've always felt there was something wrong with this guy. Back then, sitting there... Well, I mean, don't underestimate the wizards of the East Territory, especially the elders of the Black Abyss. None of these guys are easy to deal with."

Livina wanted to say, "None of those who were suspected of being werewolves and finally sat at the seven-pointed table were easy to deal with," but she changed her mind when the words came to her lips.

After all, Levina shouldn't know about this kind of thing.

Faqi said, "It doesn't matter whether he is a great prophet or not. We must go. Roland must go too!" Roland said, "Stop kidding, Faqi! What are you taking me to do? To open the door for the Old Church?!"

Faqi looked at Roland with a smile and said, "Of course you are going to open the door to the Old Church. However, it is for us, the Old Church believers."

Roland was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Faki said, "Then there is no one else but Hydra."

Roland's face froze slightly. Although he didn't want to open the door to the people of the Old Church, it seemed bad to open the door to the Hydra!
Livina couldn't help but say, "Don't tease him, Faqi Luolan, we are going to be thieves this time. There won't be anyone there for a while, but we can go in."

Faqi nodded and said, "Although this idiot wasted some of our time, we still have more than enough time."

Roland was slightly stunned and asked, "You mean, no one else has arrived? Only the dozen or so of us?"

Faqi looked at Roland and said, “Roland, the entire ruins were repaired by the Hydra with the help of the Church. Those ubiquitous corals and bubbles covering various areas were all contributed by the Sirens!

The Sirens had been at odds with the Holy See for a long time.

They wanted to summon the sea god, so naturally they left behind a lot of interesting things.

For example, a door that should appear in one place appears in another.
This relic is so complex, it's reasonable that some problems would arise during the restoration process, isn't it?
A few days ago, my father took the elders of the Black Abyss and the leaders of the Old Religion to take a look there.

But at that time, the door had not yet appeared. Even if it had appeared, they did not have the key and could not get in.

The teleportation array near the big pool was created by them after they worked together to break the restriction.

From our current location, we can get there.

The secret doors have all been sealed.

Even if the people from the Vatican discovered that the "door" did not appear on time, they would not be able to enter in a short time.

The three of us will involve them outside.

Normally they wouldn't be able to get in for three days, but we'd better get this over with this afternoon."

Roland said with a strange look on his face, "So, your talks with Harland went smoothly? He actually cooperated?"

Faqi said: "He did convince the entire Old Church. Roland, this is the advice you gave.

In short, things are going very smoothly. Before the people from the Holy See enter, representatives from the wizards, Hydra, and the Old Church will enter first."

Roland frowned and said, "Let's not talk about whether those lunatics can talk to us.

Is there something wrong with this representative of the Old Religion?

Catherine, Anna, and I are representatives of the wizards, and you are representatives of Hydra. What about the representatives of the Old Church?
What about people? !
Even if the Old Church reaches an agreement with us for some reason, shouldn't they send two representatives to join us in sharing the profits?!"

Faqi coughed and said, "Of course the Old Church has representatives."

Livina also coughed and said, "Yes, they are already here and are waiting for us."

Faqi said, "Well, yes, that's right—don't worry, Roland, the representative of the Old Church is not Harland! Let's go quickly, if we delay any longer, we will be too late!"

After they finished talking, they each grabbed Roland's arm and lifted him up, heading towards the large pool.

Roland shouted, "Wait! Wait! Is there something wrong with your logic? Since the secret door is sealed, the only way to get there is through the teleportation portal. How did the representatives of the Old Church get there?!"

The two ignored Roland's words, dragged him all the way to the portal of the big pool, and then threw Roland in.

Seeing Roland rolling into the door in a mess, Faqi and Livina smiled at each other.

This door is one-way; once you enter, you can't come back. Leona and the snake ring are both in Faqi's shell, so Roland won't cause any more trouble.

Livina said to Faqi, "Miss, I think you are a little too cautious. Why don't we tell Roland our identities as soon as possible?

I know we are surrounded by enemies in these ruins, and if anything goes wrong, we will have to rely on your status to command the sirens.

But it will be over soon. Even if he changes you back to your original appearance and reveals your identity, we can still leave using the Holy Hall.

On the contrary, if he keeps hiding it, he will easily cause more trouble."

Faqi sighed and said, "You're right. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Let's stop talking. Let's get our things away as soon as possible and leave with Roland."

With that, the two of them entered the portal.

As a result, when they entered the door, they were dumbfounded.

This is a huge cave, very wide and hundreds of meters high. Even a dragon can fly here.

There are many waterfalls flowing down on all sides of the cave, and the cave is full of water.

The entire cave is very flat, and there are many corridors two meters above the ground. It looks like a small dock on the water.

The piers were built in a circular shape, and the builders seemed to intend for them to enclose an area as large as a lake.

The waterfall was also newly formed – judging by the height of the pier, it looked like the builders were planning to raise the water to two metres.

Faki and Livina were now standing on these elevated docks.

Many people are building this kind of corridor in the big cave. Looking around, there are thousands of people surging.

All the people who came to the church this time gathered here.

The Hydras are there too.

There was the great prophet of the garden—he was dressed in the garb of a cardinal.

The elders of the Black Abyss were also there—their garments of the Chant Order, regional bishops, priests, or knights were hidden in the crowd.

The old charlatan Harland was there too.

He and the great prophet in the garden were both dressed in cardinal robes.

There are a total of six cardinals who came this time, and four of them have arrived so far - at least two of these four are from the Old Church.

Harland was chatting and laughing with the three cardinals around him, while Roland and the two sisters were standing around the old charlatan.

They were basically surrounded by the most powerful people in the Holy See.

Apparently, after Isabella and Ella, mother and daughter, followed the Nagas in, they were called over by people from the Vatican.

After Roland was thrown in by Fachi and Levina, Roland, also known as 'Sir Lawrence', was also called over by the people from the Vatican.

Faqi could see that Roland's face looked very ugly.

As if noticing Faqi's gaze, Roland glanced in Faqi's direction.

Faqi understood the thought in Roland's eyes—you guys are just going to trick me! Now none of us can escape!

Faqi's face looked extremely ugly.

She thought to herself: 'How could this happen?!' (End of this chapter)
