I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

The Executive Bishop held immense power, serving as the Archbishop's right-hand man. With Archbishop Williams constantly confined to the hospital, this Executive Bishop was the one effectively managing external affairs.

This Coleridge was the Archbishop's steward, the true administrator of Wilmick.

Soon, Roland followed Coleridge into a prayer room of moderate size, where three individuals were present.

One was Archbishop Williams.

Another was a Red-Robed Knight, cloaked in a large red and black cape with silver embroidery.

The last was a Red-Robed Nun—at first glance, her attire resembled that of a Cardinal, a bit over the top.

For a nun to wear such clothing was a clear offense to the Holy See.

Yet Archbishop Williams turned a blind eye, as if this 'little sister' should dress this way.

Because this was Hela'ka's 'Holy Son'! The Celestial Dragon of this world!

The Holy See was truly taking this very seriously!

Yesterday, after the Archbishop heard the secretly reported news from the Summer Palace, he was alarmed—the Holy See had actually sent a Holy Son this time!

Today, upon seeing them, it turned out there wasn't just one.

There were two! One large and one small, two Holy Sons.

This 'little sister' was naturally the younger Holy Son.

After all, in terms of divine status, the goddess Hela'ka was merely a minor deity of the River Styx, but the Holy Son's mother, the 'Goddess of Dawn,' was no minor deity.

From a theological perspective, the goddess Hela'ka was a servant of the Goddess of Dawn!

So, even if it were just an avatar of the goddess Hela'ka, upon seeing the other Holy Son, she would have to address him as 'Young Master.'

Originally, Archbishop Williams had some doubts about the 'Goddess of Dawn's' Holy Son descending. After all, it had been many years since a Holy Son of the Goddess of Dawn had descended here.

Moreover, the prince of the 'Holy Tadar Empire' was not necessarily a Holy Son.

But after examining the person's body this morning, he completely confirmed his identity.

The Red-Robed Knight was Miss 'Jeanne.'

And as for this nun, who else could it be but Diana?

No wonder Senior Sister, after discovering Diana, treated her like a precious treasure, always keeping her by her side. Roland, that damn bastard, actually abducted a Holy Son!

Hahahaha, heaven is helping me!

This is an ace in the hole!

Much stronger than that useless Roland!

At this moment, the Archbishop saw Roland enter but remained remarkably calm.

Indeed, since the Holy Son was using the identity of Lawrence as a disguise, his true identity couldn't be exposed.

The Archbishop was quietly conversing with Jeanne, while Miss Diana was focused on praying.

She wasn't pretending; she was genuinely praying to a deity.

Or rather, she was repenting!

Because she was so moved that tears were streaming down her face!

But the key was that the object of her prayer wasn't the goddess Hela'ka!

Seeing her devout expression, Roland knew that this girl was having another episode—because the statue in front of her was of the God of Dawn!

Roland thought to himself, 'I am truly defeated by this crazy woman! You're actually kneeling here praying to the statue of the Goddess of Dawn! Even when the White Queen was a Holy Maiden of the Goddess of Dawn hundreds of years ago, she wasn't as devout as this girl!'

Regardless of whether she is Hela'ka herself.

Even if she isn't, she is still a follower of Hela'ka!

What are you repenting to the God of Dawn for?

She was so excited, as if she had seen her great-grandmother, crying uncontrollably.

Roland heard her mutter.

"...Mother, Young Master is fine; his illness can be cured. The doctors at the Holy Spirit Hospital are very skilled; don't worry. Once he recovers, I will marry him as a concubine."

Roland rolled his eyes fiercely; he was truly defeated by this lunatic. He thought this girl should definitely be hospitalized for proper treatment.

He thought to himself, 'I'll ask Lord Williams to examine her later.'

Without even thinking, Diana was definitely acting crazy. Because she had previously said something like, 'Your mother promised to arrange a ghost marriage for us.'

Since his mother made a promise to Hela'ka, it must have been a coerced measure; she is definitely a mortal.

Otherwise, wouldn't his father have slept with a god?

At this moment, Roland saw the Archbishop looking at him.

Roland hurriedly bowed in salute—he had practiced the etiquette of the Holy Knights to perfection.

Lord Williams nodded slightly, considering it a response. He said, "No need to be so formal, Mr. Lawrence. Here, I am the Dean, your attending physician. Did you take your medicine on time this morning?"

Roland said humbly, "I have taken it on time. I must also thank the Dean for leaving the medication instructions, which were written in great detail."

Williams was slightly stunned upon hearing this. When did he leave medication instructions? He only wrote a diagnosis.

He corrected, "It was Sister Florence who left them, wasn't it?"

Roland secretly breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed this was the real Archbishop, not the six people.

It wasn't that Roland was looking for trouble; he was genuinely a little scared—because he had just counted and found that there were exactly six people in this room, not including himself!

Roland said, "Oh," and added, "It seems I misremembered."

Archbishop Williams quietly said to 'Jeanne,' "Sir Lawrence has amnesia."

'Jeanne' nodded and said, "As I said before, Lawrence is the most suitable person to bear this important task. He has carried out secret missions in the Eastern Territory and knows how to get along with black wizards. That's why Lady Isabella has been waiting for his return.

This hospitalization is also a good opportunity for him to receive treatment."

Saying that, 'Jeanne' handed Roland a large bag of documents.

Roland knew that it should be Senior Sister in Jeanne's body now, so seeing 'Jeanne' being aloof and seemingly angry with him, he didn't dare to say anything, taking the documents and starting to read.

It turned out to be a list.

After flipping through it for only a few minutes, Roland memorized all dozens of pages.

Roland thought to himself, 'This is a list of suspects, containing the names and personal profiles of suspected criminals currently active in the South.

Many of them are Black Abyss wizards. Some of them should be traitors, and others are people Senior Sister wants to save.'

Besides the names, there were also resumes.

After flipping through and scanning it again, Roland frowned and focused his attention on a person named 'Alvin Johnson.'

In the personal resume behind, it was written—Twilight Council, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Master of the Shadow Tower of the Black Abyss School, President of the Alexandra Black Abyss Academy of Arcane Arts.

Roland looked at Jeanne with a strange expression and asked, "Is this list a personal resume of Black Abyss wizards?"

'Jeanne' said, "Don't make wild guesses. This list is intelligence that Lady Isabella spent a great price to buy from the Hydra Group. The 300 people on the list are people who have not been active in the Eastern Territory recently. They are very likely to have fled to the South."

Bishop Williams nodded and said, "Wilmick is a port city, and black wizards often sneak in here."

The Archbishop and 'Jeanne' discussed the black wizards. The Bishop stated that a group of black wizards were imprisoned in a special area of the hospital, and he strongly suspected that they were the ones who caused the incident here.

Because there was a demigod wizard among them, and he came from an extremely evil Eastern Territory school—the Black Abyss.

He was an elder of the Black Abyss School, and like Archbishop Williams, his last name was also 'Williams.'

The surname Williams was very common.

The two chatted there, while Roland pondered secretly.

Roland thought to himself, 'Are all the old Black Abyss people here? If the elders have all come, things are big.'

Roland wasn't worried about not being able to handle this group of crazy old people.

In terms of combat power, the more than a thousand people in Fort Bleakblood combined were no less than these twenty-odd people—there was a demigod among these twenty-odd people, but there was also an avatar of the Leech God in Fort Bleakblood!

As long as it involved mysterious problems, Roland wasn't afraid.

Because in the face of the 'Law of Chaos,' all beings are equal. Whether it's a demigod or an apprentice, there's not much difference.

If he were in a normal environment, fighting such a group of people, he would definitely be helpless.

But if he were playing in this mysterious area, then it would be like everyone splashing around in the sea together. Who can laugh last doesn't depend on who is stronger, but on who is better at 'swimming.'

Wizards who have reached the realm level on the list must be good at swimming.

But they may not necessarily be better at splashing around than Roland.

Therefore, the 'big trouble' that Roland mentioned wasn't because the opponents were too strong.

But because this group of people knew too many secrets!

Those who entered the Yellow-Brown Fern Forest were all confidants of Senior Sister. Therefore, among the people on the list, there must be someone who knows that Catherine is Alexandra, and knows that the current Little Miss is actually the former Eldest Miss.

They all regarded Catherine as their master.

They knew too much.

Once they all crashed and leaked secrets, things would be big.

No wonder Senior Sister was so angry yesterday when she mentioned them.

It's not hard to understand why Senior Sister said yesterday, 'What's the use of those wastes'—if these people can't be saved, they must all be killed!

Senior Sister may have such thoughts, but she must also be a little reluctant.

Because most of the twenty-odd people were second-tier wizards.

Among them were five key tower masters.

In addition, there was also an elder.

That elder's realm was early Stellar (third tier). He wasn't the strongest elder in the Black Abyss, but he was a very important figure—he was almost the most powerful alchemist in the Eastern Territory.

At the same time, he was also the most skilled doctor in the Eastern Territory.

The strength of the other five tower masters was also terrifying. Old fellows like Johnson were only a step away from the stars.

Roland didn't expect that there would be so many second-tier wizards in the Black Abyss! Adding them up, there were almost twenty!

According to the information, Johnson was already over five hundred years old.

The lifespan of a second-tier wizard was only four to five hundred years.

There was also a female wizard who was also very old.

She was 'Brianna'.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu\\.吧!

Roland suspected that she might be Ying Tao's great-grandmother—she came from the West and was the patriarch of the 'Fox Family'.

No wonder Johnson called her a 'burning fox'.

She really was a fox spirit!

She was also only a step away from the stars.

If the fox spirits in this world could grow several tails, then Ying Tao would be a three-tailed fox, and her great-grandmother, 'Miss Brianna', would be about to grow nine tails.

Many people were now over four hundred years old—the lifespan of a second-tier wizard was four to five hundred years. At this age, they might suddenly age one day and then suddenly die of old age within a day.

It could be said that the lifespans of these two were almost up.

Once this group of old Black Abyss folks were gone, it would mean the end of an era.

Unless they could live for another few decades and then touch the stars—if they stepped into the stars, then they could live for another five hundred years.

'Jeanne' said, "If you meet those 'six people' again, try to negotiate terms with the Elixir of Immortality. No matter how chaotic their thinking is, this thing has a fatal attraction for them."

After a pause, 'Jeanne' smiled and teased the Dean: "It's not like you're as distressed as Isabella when she gets good things from the hydras. Dean Peter can get reimbursed from the Mystery Department."

Dean Williams said with some heartache: "I have a 'Second-Class Holy Fruit' in my hand, which I originally planned to give as a gift. But if the affairs of the Holy City are not resolved, it is useless to give any more gifts."

Roland sighed: "I can try to negotiate with them using this, but I am pessimistic about this suggestion. Things here are not that simple."

'Jeanne' frowned and asked, "Have you discovered any new situation?"

Roland nodded and said, "I have indeed discovered something... But are you sure you want to listen?"

'Jeanne' was slightly stunned, understanding Roland's meaning.

Roland had two meanings.

One was whether to speak in front of the Archbishop, whether to share information.

The other meaning was that what he was about to say was crazy.

Solving the mystery problem was the top priority. Sharing information about the mystery problem would not expose their identity issues and the purpose of coming.

And the Holy Spirit Hospital would need to cooperate next, so the information would definitely be shared.

But 'Jeanne' didn't want to hear Roland's crazy theories... But she couldn't help but be curious.

She struggled for a while and spat out a word from between her teeth: "Speak."

Roland said: "Do you know the duality of the Chaos system?"

'Jeanne's' expression was a little ugly. She really knew this thing.

In fact, a long, long time ago, when Roland and the others went to the Yellow-Brown Fern Forest, Catherine had shown Baron Hall this theory.

For example, 'the existence and non-existence of the suffering', 'there seem to be eight people in our team, but in reality, there may be more than a hundred people'—this is a typical duality of chaotic logic.

This was a typical crazy theory, but to be honest, it was not too crazy. Because its degree of madness was still at a level that 'Black Abyss Wizards could accept'.

However, Senior Sister knew that what Roland was going to say was definitely not this.

Because she could understand it.

At this time, Dean Williams suddenly interjected, frowning: "Are you saying that each of these six people is simultaneously a large group of people and also one person?"

Roland and 'Jeanne' couldn't help but reveal surprised expressions.

How could this old fellow understand these things?

This belonged to encrypted conversation!

It was reasonable for 'Lawrence' and 'Jeanne' to understand the theories of the Black Wizards, because they were from the Inquisition, and also from the Mystery Department of the Inquisition!

They had been dealing with mysteries and Black Wizards all their lives, so this kind of knowledge was a compulsory course for their profession.

But the Archbishop was different, he studied theology.

But he understood.

On the contrary, the other listening executive bishops and high priests were at a loss—what is the Chaos system? What is duality? Can you speak common language!

Dean Williams continued: "It is very similar to 'multi-person theory'."

After a pause, Dean Williams sighed: "To be honest, I have been consulting with those imprisoned Black Wizards about these things recently."

Upon hearing this, the executive bishops and priests on the side immediately focused on their noses and hearts.

The Archbishop privately discussing academic issues with Black Wizards was a taboo!

However, the monastery was now forced to do so, and there was also an explanation—during the interrogation, they said it, so I couldn't not listen, right?

Dean Williams continued: "That Black Abyss Elder mentioned this 'multi-person theory', and I can probably understand what they mean... To be honest, although many people think this is contrary to common sense and logic, and think they are talking nonsense, I think this theory is fine.

Because this theory is connected to the 'multi-faceted nature of God'.

Many mysteries themselves are 'projections of God'.

We are probably being polluted by the power of the Evil God here... We have to find the source."

Dean Williams was very skilled to say these words.

But everyone knew that this pollution had a source, but it could not be found at all.

Even the mechanism of this mystery was not fully understood.

Without first studying the mechanism theory clearly, the source could not be found.

Thinking of this, Dean Williams looked at Roland and asked curiously: "So, Mr. Lawrence also holds the view of 'multi-person theory'?"

Roland shook his head: "Not entirely. Dean, didn't Miss Brianna get taken to see you by a group of people this morning?"

Mentioning this matter, Dean Williams had a headache. He said: "Yes, four patients treated themselves as orderlies and escorted Miss Brianna and Mr. Rhodes to me. They said they needed compulsory treatment."

Roland's expression became very ugly. He told them about the six people and things that happened this morning.

After that, he described the 'multi-person theory' and the 'shadow mind-seizing theory'. He also mentioned that after he was sent in by his 'heroic spirit companions' last night, they disappeared.

Dean Williams knew about these things, after all, the appearance of the six Holy Spirits last night was quite sensational.

Roland said: "Both the shadow mind-seizing theory and the multi-person theory are correct.

In the shadow mind-seizing theory, whichever six people are selected by the rules will be dominated by the humanity, personality, and thoughts of these six people, and will take the common will of millions of people as the code of conduct.

The six people are themselves, but they are bound by the common will of all people.

At the same time, the multi-person theory is also correct—the sudden disappearance of my heroic spirit companions proves this point.

Therefore, the two theories contradict each other, but they are both correct and co-exist!"

As soon as these words came out, Executive Bishop Kohlerd couldn't help but interject: "But why didn't Brianna and the others disappear out of thin air like those heroic spirits, and then return to the room out of thin air?

Instead, they found the Dean and were locked in the confinement room—during this period, the six people stayed in the confinement room and did not disappear."

Roland said: "No, all six people disappeared—what you saw were six patients, not Miss Florence and the orderlies."

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned in place, revealing a bewildered expression.

A priest couldn't help but ask: "There were a total of six people, and six people disappeared... Then how are there still six people left."

Roland looked at him: "Because six minus six equals six."

Everyone: "? ? ?"
