I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

The Knight Commander whispered to those around him, "It seems the battle between the goddess and the false god was quite intense, so the goddess broke one of her wings."

Everyone couldn't help but become solemn, and someone asked, "Your Highness, where is that false god?"

O'Leary's face looked a little strange. She said, "Whatever happened just now, those three guys ran away anyway!"

Everyone was astonished. The knight leader asked in confusion, "You're saying you didn't fight the false god? Then why is one of your wings missing?"

O'Leary was also puzzled. She scratched her head and muttered, "Could it be that it was knocked off when it bumped into their arms just now?"

Everyone was bewildered. Could a god's wings be knocked off?

But there seems to be no other explanation.

The believers were whispering below, and O'Leary scratched her head, recalling what had just happened.

Just now, when Aurelie saw Luo Kaina disappear out of thin air, she knew that Luo Kaina was going to use that trick again.

Like Roland, O'Leary also had a pair of "foolish eyes." Although the three sisters were not as gifted as their brother in this regard, Roland's eyes were those of a "future god." O'Leary, on the other hand, were those of a "present god."

Therefore, in the current realm, O'Reilly's vision is not inferior to Roland's.

In addition, this was the second time that Rocaina had used this trick in front of her, so this time Aurelie caught Rocaina's escape trajectory - she saw a line of fate.

She hurriedly followed the line of fate, but then she felt as if she had bumped into three people.

Suddenly, all four of them were hit and their vision went black. Then everyone knew nothing.

When O'Reilly regained consciousness, she found herself standing on the dock for unknown reasons.

She searched everywhere for a long time but couldn't find Luo Kaina. Those three bad guys must have escaped!

"But that's exactly what I want. Hehe."

O'Reilly gave a wicked smile, then she suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at the array of portals in the distance. Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot out, and the portals disintegrated in the light.

O'Leary said, "Hurry up and repair the passage to the divine realm. No one's causing trouble now."

Someone said, "Your Highness, the holy fruits have all been sacrificed. Do you have anything else in your hand?"

O'Leary smiled mischievously and took out a sea clam from her waist. After opening it, it was full of magic stones.

The sirens were horrified when they saw the clam - it was Faqi's clam.

The Knight Commander couldn't help but praise him, "As expected of you, Your Highness! So you deliberately let them go. That false god may have many tricks up his sleeve, but you're still the best."

O'Leary's face flushed slightly. She said, "Well, that's right. I'm the best! How can those three idiots compare to me? Come on, use these Philosopher's Stones to repair the passage!"

To be honest, when it comes to stealing skills, I have learned a lot from Mother Catherine (the Holy Mother)!
But this time the clam was not stolen by her. She didn't know how the clam appeared on her body!

So after being praised by the believers, O'Leary felt a little embarrassed.

O'Leary didn't know what happened, but when she woke up, she found that everything on Rokaina's body was on her body!
Including the more than 500 Philosopher's Stones that Roland and I collected when we were disguised as Faqi. Wait?!
O'Leary suddenly covered her forehead and said, "What the hell! Why would I plan to use my money on the church? This is my money!"

After she finished speaking, her whole temperament suddenly underwent some subtle changes.

The mischievous look on her face was gone, replaced by arrogance and coldness.

If O'Leary was a lively little girl before, now she looks like a big sister with a poker face.

Many believers felt a slight chill in their hearts.

At this moment, O'Leary had a calm and majestic aura, with a hint of indifference.

It was as if she had been in a high position for many years and was awe-inspiring without even getting angry.

O'Leary used to be very down-to-earth, which made people disrespect her. But now, when she looked over, people didn't dare to meet her gaze.

Is this the true temperament of the goddess in heaven?
O'Leary rubbed her forehead, looked at the people below, and said, "Those three idiots thought there was some divine power under the water, so Darak couldn't come up and no one could get down. How ignorant!

Stars can be projected onto the water surface, and so can people.

Just as a well can take in anything, nature can also take away anything."

After a pause, she looked at the people below coldly: "So, it's time to use you bunch of trash."

Darak is the god of the abyss, and people offer sacrifices to him.

Holy fruit can be a sacrifice, magic power and divine power can be a sacrifice, and of course people can also be a sacrifice.

Among the people here, there are many saints and holy kings. They are the most perfect sacrifices.

After hearing what O'Reilly said, the Protestants' faces changed slightly, and then they prayed devoutly.

Those who were able to participate in the archaeological excavation were the most loyal to the church. In the words of the Black Abyss wizards, they were brainwashed. If God said shit was sweet, they would think that there was something wrong with their taste buds, rather than question God.

Therefore, Protestants were not opposed to dedicating themselves to God, but the Vatican's management was clearly unwilling to sacrifice their lives.

The knight leader said, "Your Highness, there are quite a few Nagas and Old Believers here. Let's start with them. One hundred will be enough. If you calculate, the number of Old Believers is more than enough."

Hearing this, the old believers sneered. They were not afraid of death, because the moment they believed, they were with Alayeh. They were blessed and had eternal life!
So they are looking down on the Vatican's management.

A trace of contempt flashed in O'Leary's eyes. She said, "It's okay for you to boss me around and be afraid of death, but from what I know, you've done a lot of bad things in the church, right?"

The Knight Commander and other leaders were horrified. He wasn't a traitor, but he had certainly done a lot of things to gain upper hand. But after all, everyone worked for the College of Cardinals!
If this is considered a sin, most of the church’s leadership must be dead!

Just as everyone was panicking, O'Leary suddenly covered her head and shook it.

After a moment, she seemed to have figured something out, muttering, "That's just how the high-ranking officials in the South are. They don't really believe in God. We can't just kill them all."

It is human nature to be afraid of death, which is understandable.

Although this man is very greedy and has made many dirty deals with Hydra in private, he is not a traitor.

What does it matter if you believe in God or not? What does it matter if you are loyal or not? Any cat that can catch birds is a good cat.

Although this guy has a lot of flaws, he's very capable and should be kept. Since I'm confident I can get out, we'll have to fight the people outside later. Protestants are all useful.

On the contrary, the madmen of the old religion are a destabilizing factor.

So, sacrificing them was a good decision, but some people still had to stay."

After hearing these words, the Knight Commander broke out in a cold sweat.

How did the goddess know about the affair between me and Hydra? !
According to rumors, the Four Holy Sons of Dawn all possess some omniscience, and it seems to be true. The Knight Commander was terrified and waited for O'Reilly's next instructions.

But after muttering for a while, O'Leary rubbed her forehead for a long time.

After a moment, she glanced at the people below and waved, and then some people were covered by the beam of light.

These people included more than thirty sirens and a dozen humans - James was among them.

If Brianna had not left with Andra but had stayed here, she would have discovered that those thirty or so sirens were all sirens loyal to Catherine, and those dozen people were Twilight Wizards, Secret Order Monks, and White Chess Wizards who came from the East.

After selecting the people, O'Leary said, "Are there problems with these people? No, that's not right. Yeah, I remember now. These people are actually people I brought here. Wait, I brought people from heaven? Never mind. Anyway, they look pretty good, so let's keep them all."

The Knight Commander and other leaders didn't dare to say anything more. He directly asked about the details: "Your Highness, what should we do? Just throw the man into the water?"

O'Leary said, "No, let them stand on the dock and let their shadows fall in the water."

The Knight Commander and other leaders asked some more questions, and after understanding the situation clearly, they immediately led people to make arrangements.

The more than one hundred people who had fainted earlier woke up. Roland had said before that most of these people were Old Christians.

But these people hid so well that the Protestants only pulled out the sirens among them.

Repairing the tunnel would require about 140 men, and the number of Sirens was barely enough to begin with. Now, with Aurelie having picked out another 30 or so, there was a shortage of 40 or so men.

When the Protestants were cleaning up the interior, they caught many suspects, but there were only about thirty people who were definitely confirmed to be Old Christians, and half of them were picked out by O'Reilly.

If we count, we are still short of more than twenty people.

The Knight Commander had intended to single out some of the unlucky suspects who had been to Wilmik, but some Protestants took the initiative to step forward.

They are willing to sacrifice themselves for their beliefs. This group of people are conservative and the most loyal to the church.

Seeing that there were enough people, the Knight Commander and other leaders secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They did some superficial work and praised this group of people, but secretly cursed them as crazy in their hearts.

Knowing that there is an abyss below and not heaven, but still jumping down with a fanatical look on your face, if not being a madman, what is?
Although the Knight Commander was a staunch conservative, they often felt a chill down their spines at the conservatives' fanaticism towards God.

After all, they joined the conservatives not because of their beliefs, but to make a living.

Soon, the missing number of people was made up. Aurora looked at the loyal believers, then looked at the clams filled with philosopher's stones in her hands, and a look of pity appeared in her eyes.

She seemed very reluctant to offer human sacrifice.

As they were struggling, a commotion suddenly broke out on the dock. It seemed some Old Believers had caused the chaos, and many Old Believers took advantage of the chaos to jump into the water. Once in the water, they desperately swam to the bottom.

It turned out that although the Protestants had tied up many suspects, there were still some Catholics hiding among them.

Their sudden attack created an opportunity for those standing at the edge of the dock. Everyone who was already standing at the edge of the dock seized the opportunity and jumped directly into the water!

Many old sirens successfully entered the water, and once they entered the water, they disappeared like arrows.

These guys were rushing towards the bottom of the water! As they rushed, they were like marshmallows, melted away by the enormous divine power contained in the deep water!
The old believers were overjoyed to see this scene and rushed into the water frantically.

It turned out that this group of old believers wanted to commit suicide!

If they wanted to summon the god of Alayeh, they couldn't let the new religion repair the passage. They had originally thought that the Great Prophet was not here, and there was no chance of summoning the savior. So, in order to conserve their strength and wait for Marquis's return, everyone was very quiet.

But now, the Protestants seemed to doubt that Harland was the Great Prophet. So the Old Believers also began to doubt whether the Great Prophet was still here.

Although Harland never revealed his identity and prayed quietly as if he were a neutral person, this neutral attitude was questionable!
Therefore, although Harland had not taken any action, the Old Believers seemed to have found a backbone.

In addition, the Protestants wanted to sacrifice everyone, so the Old Believers had no chance to wait for Maquis to return. So they created chaos and rushed into the water like crazy.

The Old Believers knew that after their death, there would be vacancies left for the Protestants to offer sacrifices to. But since they were all going to die anyway, they couldn't let the Protestants have it easy!
Dragging some people from the Light and Shadow Church to be buried with them was also a way to pay tribute to the Malrodians who were tortured to death on the ranch.

——"Hahaha! You'll be buried with us!"

The pier is not wide to begin with, and it can be said that there is lake water on both sides of the road!
So you can enter the water with just one strong push!
O'Reilly was horrified and quickly recited the divine scripture.

Suddenly, the surface of the entire lake became as quiet as a mirror. When the old believer jumped in, it didn't seem like he was jumping into water, but rather into another world!
Looking from the surface of the water, those people slowly sank after jumping in, and were slowly swallowed by the deep darkness. It was like falling into a bottomless abyss.

Everything happened so fast that everyone was in the water in the blink of an eye.

Those who jumped in later were considered to have successfully sacrificed themselves to Darak.

O'Leary's rescue was actually quite timely, but the lake's surface didn't change immediately, so half of the people managed to jump into the water and melt away!

This time, half of the people are missing again!
The knight leader's eyes went dark when he saw this scene.

If there is a shortage of people, the Protestant side has someone to fill the gap!

The Knight Commander's position in the Vatican was indeed high, comparable to Brianna's. However, all present were saints, holy kings, and angels. These individuals either held special positions within the Vatican or were local leaders, local tyrants, or even kings.

These people do obey the orders of the Holy See very well, but they obey the decisions of the Church, not the commands of a certain individual!
Without the letter from the Order, the Cardinal would have difficulty commanding them. How could a Knight Commander like him order these saints and holy kings to sacrifice their lives?

The Knight Commander felt that this matter would have to wait until the cardinals returned.

We may even have to wait until the College of Cardinals makes a decision.

The leaders of the Holy See were all shrewd men. They all remained silent, waiting for Aurelie to step forward.

The atmosphere at the scene was unusually quiet. O'Leary sighed, muttered "That's fine," and took out the clam.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly sang a heavenly hymn, and soon more and more people joined in the singing. (End of this chapter)
