I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

The two ladies were so ashamed and indignant that they broke free from their shackles of guilt and tried to hold Roland down and restrain him.

But they discovered in despair that Roland now seemed to possess the strength of 'three people'. Even worse, he seemed to be able to control both of their bodies!

And even worse than that, when that rattan cane struck, it really, really hurt!

Before long, Anna, who had been the most vociferous, softened. She cried out, "Don't hit me anymore, don't hit me anymore! I'll listen to you!"

Roland shouted angrily, "Call me Daddy!"

Anna wailed, "Daddy, Daddy! Mommy, say something!"

Catherine also cried, "Waaah, isn't your goal just to make us mother and daughter submit to you? You beast... hurry up and get it over with!"

Roland grinned fiendishly, put down the rattan cane, and began to do wicked things.

The two sisters seemed to have softened, but in their hearts, they were gnashing their teeth with hatred.

They appeared to be serving Roland according to his demands, but in reality, they were secretly plotting an extremely insidious scheme—like last time in the scripture copying hall, to knock Roland down and then hang him up and beat him!

But today's situation was different from the last time in the scripture copying hall. Roland had not only rested for a month but had also come prepared, with a great deal of pent-up anger in his heart.

Even worse, Anna, that double-crossing traitor, called out 'Daddy' again when she saw that the situation was not good, and collapsed to the side, rubbing her reddened bottom.

Seeing that her double-crossing traitor of a younger sister had surrendered first, Catherine reluctantly braced herself to meet the challenge.

They had the following conversation.

Catherine said, "Have you had enough... It's already two o'clock, Mr. Roland. Aren't you supposed to bathe in divine grace?"

Roland said, "Don't talk, don't talk... I seem to, I seem to..."

Suddenly, Catherine saw a pillar of light descend from the sky, shining on herself and Roland.

Catherine: "?"

In the light, Catherine shouted, "Stop! Stop it now! Divine grace is coming!"

Roland: "Ah!!!~~"

Under the holy light, Roland felt his whole being become transparent.

Catherine: "???"

Catherine's eyes went dark.

This guy actually, actually, on her own body...

How could such an outrageous thing happen!

Even more outrageous was that, in that instant, Catherine felt as if her whole being had also been bathed in a kind of holy power, and this power deeply...

Pushing away that stinky man, Catherine evened out her breathing, closed her eyes, and sensed her own realm. Then her expression gradually became very interesting.

Catherine's mind was in a mess. She pushed Roland, wanting to ask him if he had felt anything special just now.

But she found that this damn man had fallen asleep.

Catherine's anger flared up. She pondered for a while, and gradually fell asleep too.

The next day.

As the morning sunlight shone on the three pairs of boots on the floor, the three of them were awakened by a knock on the door.

They hurriedly put on their clothes.

This library bedroom, like a suite, was perfectly normal for Lawrence and Isabella and their daughter to live together as a family in a suite.

Catherine and Anna, playing the roles of mother and daughter, tidied up the room and prepared morning tea.

Roland went to open the door.

When opening the door, Roland was very confident—what's wrong with me, Lawrence, living with my wife and daughter?

But the person who came in was Amber.

Roland's expression became extremely awkward, because last night Ms. Elle seemed to have come with Amber.

Amber obviously knew what had happened last night. After entering the door, she coldly looked at the two women, and then looked at her teacher with a complex expression.

She couldn't help but feel like her father had an affair and divorced her mother, and she was abandoned.

Amber had no parents since she was a child. She was taken to Roland's home and raised. She was raised by Catherine.

She regarded Catherine as her mother, and she was also adopted as a granddaughter by the White Queen. So, she regarded her teacher and teacher-mother as her parents.

Grandma was right, the teacher had already betrayed the Eastern Territory.

He also betrayed his teacher-mother.

So, the current scene made Amber feel like her father was having an affair, and she was abandoned by her parents, having to live with her grandmother.

Seeing that the hostess of this 'family' invited her in for tea, Amber politely declined her kindness.

Amber did not enter the door. She said to Roland, "I won't have tea. Mr. Lawrence. I'll be leaving with Ms. Elle in a while. Is there anything you want to say to Miss Catherine?"

Amber regretted saying this as soon as she said it.

She shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the elders.

There must be his reasons for the teacher to make such a choice. Besides, she came to say goodbye to the teacher.

It had been a long, long time since she had seen him. She missed the teacher very, very much.

But why did he have to do this?!

At this time, Roland felt very stiff.

He didn't know what to say.

Roland thought to himself, 'My little disciple seems very sad, but I can't explain this! And she wants me to give Catherine a message? What message should I give?!'

Roland really didn't know what to say. Fortunately, 'Isabella' came to his rescue.

Isabella smiled and said, "Lawrence has nothing to say to Catherine. If you really have to bring a message..."

She showed a victor's smile and continued, "Vermick welcomes her."

Roland: "."

Amber: "."

Amber nodded deeply with red eyes, turned and left.

Roland watched her figure, saw her wipe her eyes as she turned the corner at the end of the corridor and went downstairs.

Roland angrily closed the door and said to his senior, "What are you doing? How could you say that!"

'Isabella' ignored Roland. She sat in the chair and picked up the comb: "Comb my hair... What are you standing there for? Mr. Roland, since we have agreed on the conditions, I hope you can keep your promise, forget that woman, and live well with us mother and daughter."

Roland sighed inwardly, 'This drama queen is getting into character again... But she's right. We must not reveal our identities. I have to adapt.'

Roland began to comb his senior's hair.

Catherine said very much in character, "Roland, I know you don't have us mother and daughter in your heart. And I don't love you either.

But, you can't divorce me!

If you marry a witch from the Eastern Territory, marry the daughter of the King of a Thousand Eyes, my future will be ruined in your hands!

I agree to your conditions, I will not expose your identities as Black Abyss Warlocks. Nor will I tell the Holy See the relationship between Williams and Johnson, Briana, Harland, and so on is not as dire as it seems.

Therefore, 'Briana' will smoothly take over my position according to Catherine's plan."

Roland's eyes moved slightly.

Senior is really playing it well!

She pretended to leave, stayed behind under Isabella's identity, and then made a seemingly very brainless operation.

But in reality, she has ruthlessly tricked the Holy See.

Originally, the negotiations between the Holy See and Catherine at the Tribunal had reached a stalemate, but now they have broken the deadlock.

Just as Senior is saying now, outsiders do not know that they are actually on the same side.

Even in the eyes of the Holy See, Williams and Johnson, Briana, and others have been fighting openly and secretly, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are at odds with each other.

—They are more than at odds with each other. Before Roland helped to settle the werewolf matter, they were already fighting to the death!

For more than ten years, these people have been making a lot of noise!

Everyone thought that everyone else was a werewolf except themselves. So they fought fiercely.

Williams, as the dean of the monastery and the director of the Holy Spirit Hospital.

But Johnson and others have overshadowed him and have been stealing Williams's reputation.

Williams is actually the principal of the seminary, but most of the people who come out of Vermick regard Johnson and them as their spiritual guides!

In the eyes of the Church, Williams simply couldn't wait to kill them.

Williams is actually doing this—the Church has urged him many, many times to release people, but he has been suppressing the medical records of Johnson and his group, not letting them out of the hospital!

Cutting off someone's future is like killing their parents. The entire Church knows how much these people disagree!

Catherine continued, "Don't worry, the Church needs to check and balance Williams. Briana is an excellent candidate... These people have secretly written letters to the Pope, reporting each other."

Roland: "Ah?!"

Catherine turned her head and smiled, "The Pope even replied to them specifically, expressing his concern. He doesn't want his subordinates to form cliques, but these people are fighting too fiercely, which is not conducive to the unity of the Church.

He has repeatedly persuaded Williams to cure Archbishop Johnson and the others and release them as soon as possible.

The Pope is very dissatisfied with this matter.

When I came from the Holy See, the Pope personally received me and mentioned this matter.

The relic needs many people, many people who are loyal to the Church.

And you know about the Wishing Machine.

Everyone's past has changed. In the Holy See, these people are the backbone of the Church's fight against the evil gods. They are all angels who have fought side by side with God.

Their resumes are very perfect, and their strength is also very perfect. In the eyes of the Church, many people are future demigods.

Most importantly, in the past ten years, Johnson and they have guided too many priests.

No one wants their guide to be a black wizard.

So when I submitted the report, I encountered some obstacles—the black wizard list I submitted had more than a dozen names, and the ambassador of the Holy See delegation, 'Ms. Valeria (a certain cardinal)', expressed serious dissatisfaction with this."

She believes I made a deal with Williams to help him eliminate dissidents.

However, the evidence is conclusive!

This group of people was secretly preparing to walk the path of the Mind Flayer—the chain of evidence is complete!

They are traitors to the Church.

Ms. Vallea was very shocked, but she didn't want these people to go to the Holy See and be publicly tried by the Inquisition.

So, I secretly executed these people.

I promised the Holy See that I would keep it a secret—these people were heroes who sacrificed themselves in the battle against the Mind Flayer Holy Spirit, not black wizards.

In exchange, the Holy See approved my application to join the Ruins Archaeological Team and would seriously consider the matter of Maltrod.

They are really considering this matter. On the one hand, I am too close to Williams.

On the other hand, the ranch incident was too noisy.

The ranch was originally created by the Church to open relics for sacrifice, but the profits from those 'holy fruit' by-products were too great, so things were a bit out of the Church's control.

Therefore, sending me, the former queen, back to my kingdom to clean up their mess is a very good choice.”

Roland asked, "So, in order to check and balance Williams, will the Holy See let Brianna take over the Inquisition of Velmic?"

Catherine said, "Brianna is not the only candidate. Her loyalty to the Church is unquestionable, and her faith is extremely devout, but she is too young. The Church is afraid that she will not be able to outplay Williams."

As she spoke, Isabella looked back at Roland and smiled, "So she is not as suitable as 'Harland,' that old cleric, to take charge of the Inquisition and oppose Williams."

Roland's expression stiffened slightly, and he said, "No! The old cleric has to help me infiltrate the cult!"

Catherine was stunned and said, "Cult?"

Anna was sitting aside watching Roland comb her sister's hair, and she interjected, "Brother-in-law seemed to mention someone named Hans yesterday."

Catherine felt like she had some impression.

Roland explained Hans's matter in detail.

After listening, Catherine's expression was very solemn. She touched the bunch of red roses on the table, and then the roses turned pink.

Catherine said, "Roland, there must be cultists among us."

Roland asked, "Why do you say that?"

Catherine looked at Roland in the mirror and said, "Isabella doesn't like pink roses! And those jewelry are all what I like! And this garden!"

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Catherine looked at this 'beautiful garden' and said, "This is Anna's favorite style!"

Roland was shocked.

Catherine said, "These days, I have been communicating with everyone using 'photos' and 'dolls.' None of our people know that I have stayed behind.

Hans's information may not be very accurate, and he may not know about the 'real Catherine being sent on a boat.'

However, since he uses the butler to flaunt himself, he must have inquired about your and my preferences from his superiors a long time ago.

And his superior must be one of our own."

Roland said with a face full of sweat, "That's bad! The cult will definitely participate in this ruin incident!"

Catherine asked, "Why do you say that?"

Roland said, "Hans thinks I'm going to do something big! I didn't know what this 'big thing' referred to before. Now that I look at it, what else could it be besides the Maltrod matter!

The cult knows I'm going to Maltrod and knows we're going to explore the ruins!

They want to do something big in the ruins!"

Catherine's expression became a little unsightly, and she said, "Roland, the ranch incident may have been promoted by the cult. The Church has been using the ranch for sacrifices for so many years in order to open the ruins.

Some people in the Church are embezzling 'livestock' resources in the sacrifices to create holy fruit for profit.

Some people are also embezzling 'soul' resources and trading them to demons for profit.

The benefits in this are unimaginable.

If the cult has already been planning in Maltrod, then they can completely embezzle!

The resources accumulated in their hands are unimaginable.

These resources can do too many things.

Once they do something in the ruins, it will definitely not be a small matter!"

Roland cursed inwardly.

The actions of the Light and Shadow Church were even more evil than those of the cult. These remnants of the Old Church were just a group of parasites on the rotten roots of the New Church.

Even the 'Judgment of the Gods' that the New Church wanted to do was even more terrifying than the big things the cult wanted to do.

However, the New Church was targeting everyone.

And the Old Church was targeting itself!

If the New Church succeeds, Roland may not die. He still has a chance to escape to another world with the wizards.

But if the cult succeeds, Roland might have to become an immortal!

Roland believes that these lunatics are likely to be 'summoning Aleyah' in the ruins!

The affairs of the New Church must not be allowed to succeed.

The affairs of the Old Church must not be allowed to succeed!

He and Catherine are watching the New Church and stirring up trouble in the New Church.

There must be someone watching the Old Church and stirring up trouble in the Old Church!

Roland said, "No! The old cleric must be allowed to enter this cult and watch these cultists!"

Catherine nodded and said, "Why do you think he is suitable? That false believer might be a true believer!

Maybe this old undead is the leader of that cult!"

Roland asked, "Let me ask you a question—are you the Evil Holy Son?"

Catherine cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about! Of course I'm not the Evil Holy Son!"

Roland said, "The old cleric said that as the most devout believer, he could have ascended to heaven long ago, but he stayed behind to follow that Holy Son, and you are that Holy Son."

Catherine suddenly remembered this matter. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "This old lunatic is always talking nonsense. I have to cut off his tongue."

However, Catherine understood what Roland meant.

Indeed, the old cleric is definitely a false believer.

Letting him infiltrate the cult to watch those cultists is a very good idea.

Roland said, "Not only must we let the old cleric in, but we must also let him get to the top!

However, this matter is easy to handle. With my support as Aleyah, plus the old cleric's methods, he may really be able to get to the top in a short time!"

Catherine looked at Roland with a strange expression and said, "Is there a possibility that the old undead was originally at the top of the cult?"

Roland rolled his eyes fiercely and said, "You are too suspicious."

Catherine sighed, "Okay. It's okay to let him go to the cult, but these days, in order to let him take over the Velmic Inquisition, we have tilted the resources to him. Brianna is already young, and it may be a little difficult to get her to the top."

Roland's expression stiffened slightly and said, "Then what should we do?"

Catherine said, "Church matters can be solved with money, but it takes a lot and a lot of money."

Roland couldn't help but curse, "These clerics are rotten to the core. Let Hans pay for it! He has plenty of money!"

The matter was settled.

At this time, Roland also finished combing Catherine's hair. Anna sat over and asked Roland and Catherine to braid her hair.

Anna is now using the identity of 'Ella.' Ella has been in the Twilight Territory of the Eastern Border for many years, and her hairstyle is in the medieval style of the Eastern Border.

There are many small braids in her long hair, which looks like a medieval princess.

Well, whether it is Anna or Ella, they are both princesses.

In the Eastern Border, Ella is treated like a princess.

While braiding Anna's beautiful long hair, Roland couldn't help but ask a very concerned question: "Ahem, your mother won't really tell your father about last night, will she?"

Catherine said, "What do you think? Amber came over this morning, and it must have been my mother who asked her to come over to confirm. My mother thinks you are dirty and doesn't want to look at you again, so she sent Amber over."

Roland suddenly felt a headache.

Catherine said, "Don't worry. Father knows I'm staying here. He wants the three of us to go to the ruins together."

Roland asked, "He will also go?"

Catherine said, "Hydra naturally wants a share of the pie. That ruin is flooded in a 'large reservoir.'"

Roland understood.

Father-in-law will go with Saladin's identity.

With the King of Thousand Eyes here, Roland suddenly felt confident.

Soon, the two finished braiding Anna's hair.

Catherine took out a few magic books and handed them to Roland.

Catherine said, "These days, I need to arrange some things. You should take care of your 'Holy Church' properly. It will be very useful when the time comes.

You can refer to these books."

Roland curiously looked at them and found that two of the books were: "Pure White Heart" and "Sincere Relics" from the hand of the White Queen.

The rest are: "Holiness and Decay", "Primeval Holy Tree" and "Hymn of Themis."

These two seem to be from some people's integration of the Old Testament.

After flipping through them, Roland's eyes couldn't help but move slightly, and he asked curiously: "This person seems to know the Old Church very well! Who wrote these three books? He is very likely to be that cultist!"

Catherine looked at Roland and said, "The old cleric wrote them."

Roland: "."

No wonder Catherine suspected that the old cleric was the leader of the cult!

This guy knows too much about Aleyah's Old Church!

Catherine said, "Don't overthink it. This guy has memories from many parallel worlds. After learning about the church, he consulted many of Kolder's books and integrated them."

Roland couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Kolder and his group exhausted every means to find a way out in that apocalyptic world. They also researched many things related to the Mad Gods.

The Wishing Machine was one of them.

Therefore, they left behind many remarkable documents.

Thoroughly understanding the books he left behind will lead to a very deep understanding of the Mad God's Sacred Objects.

I don't know if the 'Sacred Church' counts as a Mad God's Sacred Object, but after alchemizing it into a high-grade item in this plane, it will definitely have a touch of madness.

So, these three books will be very suitable.

And the White Queen's 'Pure White Heart' and 'Crimson Sacred Object' are specifically used to balance madness.

In addition, the Dawn Society is also very skilled at it.

So, the materials for modifying the church are basically complete.

Diana is currently in the Serpent Ring. She can also help a lot with the church and the elegy.

Roland originally thought he had to do this himself, but Catherine said to him, "Everyone has been helping you alchemize it for a month. Go see how the progress is. If it's already completed, follow their instructions and write your name on it—I mean, do a soul-binding ritual or something. Then it's done."

Roland asked, "Then why are you giving me these books?"

Catherine sized Roland up and down for a long time, then said, "Roland, it's one thing for me to have others alchemize your own Secret Treasure for you. But you can't not even understand how it was made, right?"

What the Senior said was really too reasonable. You're a live-in son-in-law taking an exam. Your wife helps you find someone to take the test for you. But you should at least take a look at the paper, right?

Roland's next words were also very reasonable. He muttered, "Can't I just write my name on it?"

Catherine rolled her eyes fiercely and said, "Get lost!"
