I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Roland didn't know what Joan was thinking, so he talked about his childhood dream: "When I was a child, I wanted to be an astronaut and stand in a place like this to look at the universe and the earth."

Roland pointed to the starry sky and continued, "I often fantasize about riding in a giant spaceship and flying to the stars. Hehe. I'd prefer to be the captain."

A few years ago, Joan would never have understood what Roland was saying.

But the Eastern Realm has changed drastically. Wizards are now exploring a shift from the original idealistic path to a materialistic one. And thanks to the solid foundation of the idealistic technology tree, the materialistic technology is developing at an explosive pace.

The Eastern Realms are now planning to build a 'tower' in the void. Much materialistic knowledge is also being disseminated within the academy.

So Joan understood Roland's words. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Roland, was the reason you knew so many strange things when you were little because of your father? Your father was a captain, wasn't he?"

Joan was unaware that Roland's father was just an ordinary, but exceptionally deceptive, magician. She assumed he was a god-level forbidden wizard who had lived for over 70,000 years.

Therefore, she assumed that these things were told to Roland by his father.

Roland nodded and said, "I lived in the Holy See when I was a child. Back then, the environment here wasn't like this; it transformed into a place exactly like my father's hometown. And it keeps changing over time."

Seeing that Joan seemed a little confused, Roland said, "I lived in the Holy See seventy thousand years ago, and it wasn't like this then. I considered it another world. Back then, the gods were still developing their civilization from scratch, and I witnessed their development from the steam age to the information age when I was a child."

Joan asked with a strange look on her face, "You mean, you've lived for seventy thousand years?"

Roland shook his head and said, "No, I was able to witness the development of the gods over hundreds of years, probably because of my mother. Every night they would take me to sleep, and that sleep would last for many years."

"My ability to travel from 70,000 years ago to the present is likely due to my father. He transported me from the Holy See 70,000 years ago to Valeria in the present."

Joan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were born a god."

“No, I am human, a real human.” Roland’s expression turned strange as he said this. “However, when my mothers were pregnant with me, I was probably a monster—at that time, all three of them were pregnant with me at the same time.”

But later, when I was born, my mother must have considered herself a human being. Therefore, I am a human being, and a child born of a mother. So I am a truly human being.

Joan rubbed her forehead and said, "Roland, I understand why you are so naturally good at understanding mystical things. You started experiencing these things when you were in your mother's womb."

"Hahaha, it must be true." Roland laughed heartily.

Joan continued, "You know, Roland, since the breakthrough in reproductive technology a few years ago, more and more high-ranking wizards have been able to have children normally, even some strange Twilight wizards."

Many high-ranking wizards work and live in mysterious places year-round, so many children, like you, have strange and unusual experiences.

So your mother might also have been a remarkable occultist.

Your parents are both normal people, they are astronauts, and you are a future astronaut.

Joan was trying to comfort Roland, worried that he might be troubled by his background.

But what Joan didn't know was that Roland had long since come to terms with this matter. Or rather, his understanding of it had surpassed the comprehension of a normal person.

He possesses a complete and verifiable logical chain, within which Roland's self-identity is very clear. He will not be confused or distressed because of it.

In his view, there is no difference between the Creator, the Mad God, and the Wizard. The Creator is a forbidden wizard who has developed technology to its extreme, while the Mad God is a forbidden wizard who has gone mad after developing his own power to its extreme.

Roland said, “You’re absolutely right, Joan. My father was actually like the White Wizard, and my mother was actually a Twilight Wizard.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Joan said, “Just like, just like you and Helena. Hmm.” Roland couldn’t help but look at Joan beside him.

Roland still remembers the scene when the two first met.

It was at the entrance to the Land of the End, where Joan, dressed as a man, was flirting with several junior girls. No wonder, this 'senior' was just too handsome, making it impossible for the junior girls and senior girls not to approach him.

Even Charlie and other guys who had always been on good terms with Joan didn't dare look at her too much, afraid of being turned gay.

When Roland first met Joan, he also experienced a similar predicament. This 'senior', a few years his senior, was simply too beautiful, especially her large eyes. When she stared at someone, it made their heart race.

Now, Joan no longer disguises her gender; she not only wears women's knight's attire, but today she has also specially braided her long hair into a large plait.

This was all so that Roland wouldn't treat him like a brother.

Under Roland's scrutiny, Joan's face flushed slightly. She deliberately asked casually, "What?"

Roland's expression turned serious. He said, "Joan, are we the best of brothers?"

Qiong, who had initially felt a little happy, immediately looked sullen and asked somewhat irritably, "Spit it out."

Roland said somewhat awkwardly, "Your room seems quite big. I have a spare bed in my ring. Can I squeeze in with you? Don't worry, I don't snore."

Joan was stunned for a long time, wondering if she had misheard. She said angrily, "Roland, even if you don't see me as a woman, everyone else knows I am! Is it appropriate for others to know you slept in my room?"

Roland chuckled and said, "Don't worry, no one will know. Even if they did find out tonight, so what? We've done nothing wrong, and everyone knows my character. No one will gossip."

Joan almost lost her temper. She said, "Do you even realize how bad your reputation is? Aren't you afraid of what people will say? I still need to get married in the future!"

At this point, Joan suddenly remembered that the man she was going to marry was Roland. Her face flushed slightly, then she felt a little angry.

The monastery was mostly inhabited by their own people, and everyone knew that Joan was Roland's future queen. Roland's private life was rumored to be very chaotic, so whether or not the two slept together, everyone would assume that Roland and Joan had a relationship.

Therefore, the moment Joan was listed as 'Catherine's chosen lady-in-waiting' on the list of the prince's entourage, her reputation was already 'ruined'.

So Joan felt somewhat ashamed.

The reason she was angry was that, in her view, Roland seemed to have always treated her like a brother, which greatly frustrated Joan. As a result, this beautiful woman has recently been experiencing some anxiety about her appearance.

She even styled her hair into a long braid today, thinking Roland would like it.

But Roland asked, "Aren't we good brothers?"

After thinking for a moment, Joan asked through gritted teeth, "Roland, do you even consider me a woman?"

Luo chuckled and didn't answer Qiong's question directly. Instead, she said, "Let's go. Don't wake me up tomorrow morning. I want to sleep until lunchtime."

With that, Roland patted Joan on the shoulder as if she were a brother, and then flew away.

Joan followed after him, grumbling and cursing. (End of Chapter)
