I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

From beginning to end, the songs heard by the Three-Headed Serpent crew all came from this ship!

The sailor who disemboweled himself was right; he was a natural 'eye.' In his madness, he saw a portion of the truth in the lower world.

In his pre-death frenzy, he had written the following diary entry:

【. I was wrong. I deserve to die. I killed the brothers and sisters of the Order!

Not them, because they don't have spiders in their bellies.

Nor me, because I don't have spiders in my belly either.

It's the ship!

Because only the ship has spiders in its belly!

People have small spiders in their bellies, and so people become big spiders.

The ship has small spiders in its belly, so it is also a big spider!

It is a spider! 】

He wasn't wrong; this ship did become a big spider because it had spiders in its belly.

It's just that the truth of the matter was hidden in madness.

The reason the ship became a big spider is because Roland and the others were constantly singing in the 'Maze of the Sea God'!

That 'Maze of the Sea God' allows everyone to access any corner of the ship, allowing the Black Anthem to contaminate every place on the ship, completely transforming the ship's environment!

The entire ship has become a mystical place!

Thus, like the mutated world in that forbidden area, the ship also changed.

However, that vast forbidden world mutated into countless maggots and flies, and its will became a butterfly.

And the shadow of this small ship mutated into a spider.

Although compared to Heraca's transformation of the forbidden area, Roland's small transformation of this ship with the Red Saintess is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

But it's enough to deal with Dagma, this 'little angel.'

The blessing on Dagma comes from faith, from the distant god.

The shadow of this ship comes from the mystery of the lower world, from the magic of truth.

In terms of dimension, the position of the power of truth is definitely not lower than the position of the power of God.

God is a wizard who uses the power of truth.

The Eastern Territory wizards are also wizards who use the power of truth!

Dagma, this so-called angel, is just a mid-level Tier 2 holy wizard.

How can a mid-level Tier 2 wizard alone withstand the siege of two early-level Tier 2 wizards and a large group of elite Eastern Territory wizards?

He was like a charlatan who had drunk talisman ash water, thinking he was invulnerable to swords and spears, but when it came to the real thing, a peanut bullet would break his defense.

He lived his whole life in the illusory beauty created by God, and even in death, he didn't understand why a group of 'mortals' could kill the angel of the great God.

He didn't even understand history, not knowing that his master, after being expelled back then, didn't even dare to return to this world. He only dared to hide secretly in another world, using them as pawns to test the descendants of those wizards from back then.

Dagma's body was eventually devoured by countless strands of hair.

Roland on the deck shook his head, no longer looking at the tragic scene above.

This Dagma was much more terrifying than he had imagined.

In a one-on-one fight, the Red Saintess would definitely not be his opponent... unless it was this kind of prepared home-field advantage, there would still be a chance to fight.

In the end, although the Red Saintess has the memories and magic of a leader of a faction, both Wendy Shaw and the Red Saintess are still early-level Tier 2 wizards.

Once the opponent also has a behemoth standing behind them, they can't fight head-on; they have to use the power of knowledge to let magic deal with divine arts, and let truth confront the gods.

However, now the Eastern Territory already has the 'Shepherdess of Black Holy Blood,' and in the next few decades, the Eastern Territory's 'New Holy Blood Wizards' will no longer be stuck by bottlenecks.

If all the Withered Blood Wizards improve by a small realm, then with just this one family, plus a Tier 3 Twilight Elder, they could sweep across the Three-Headed Serpent Group.

At this time, a woman walked over, elegantly wiping the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, as if she had just eaten a pastry, rather than having devoured Dagma with the Red Saintess and others.

Roland sighed, "This Dagma was much more difficult to deal with than I imagined. I didn't expect that the two of you working together would barely be able to handle him.

Fortunately, we didn't attack Saladin on the 'Black Coral' ... that old thing Saladin must be even more terrifying than Dagma."

This woman was Belinda.

She shook her head and said, "That Saladin is definitely not an ordinary Three-Headed Serpent leader; I can feel that twilight flavor hidden in his body."

Roland already had some guesses about Belinda's identity.

Even if she wasn't Wendy Shaw, her vision and strength were worthy of the title of 'Matriarch of the Holy Blood Family.'

If she said that Saladin was not right, then there was probably really something wrong.

Roland couldn't help but think of his son-in-law's matter, and couldn't help but curse that old bastard in his heart.

He didn't know what this old bastard wanted to do, but he was really trying to kill his son-in-law!

Belinda looked at the Three-Headed Serpent shadow that was gradually being devoured by the sea, and said, "Mutationology is a great discipline.

It is also an extremely obscure and difficult black magic discipline.

Almost all black wizards are studying it.

Many mutationology masters can even gradually transform their towers with the magic power on their bodies, bringing the stones to life.

Your Black Anthem, although it is a kind of mysterious radiation power.

But there is a connection between the two. Are you interested in joining my team? We need an 'eye' like you who can see the bottom world."

Belinda extended an olive branch of goodwill to Roland.

But the corner of Roland's mouth twitched secretly.

The Eastern Territory is really too competitive!

This stinky woman, having just cooperated with him to solve a strong enemy, has already begun to have ideas about these people of his.

On the surface, she is extending an olive branch, but in reality, she is testing him!

Roland looked at Belinda and said, "Ms. Belinda, do you know who you are inviting?"

Just now, Belinda was actually testing Roland; she was suspecting whether Roland was someone sent by the King of a Thousand Eyes!

She could see that the Red Saintess was not actually Countess Wendy Shaw — then, if Baron Black Abyss could lie about the affairs of his team, would he also lie about the affairs of the mission?

Therefore, Belinda extended an olive branch to Roland, and as long as Roland accepted the olive branch, it would mean that he was also a fugitive!

Roland didn't fall for it, or rather, he didn't forget the identity he was pretending to be.

Therefore, he just responded to Belinda in the tone of the 'Envoy of the King of a Thousand Eyes.'

Fortunately, Roland deals with people like Senior Sister all day long; he grew up suffering losses, so he is very vigilant and reacts very quickly.

If Roland had hesitated even slightly just now, he would have been exposed!

Belinda smiled and said, "Look at your reaction; I'm just inviting you to work part-time as our project consultant."

Saying that, her tone became meaningful, "I don't think following that old thing will have a good ending.

Baron Roland, that guy's hand can't reach the South for the time being; for people like us, this is the only chance to escape his shadow.

You are a smart person; you should know what kind of choice to make in your heart.

Admittedly, our family has some grudges with you. But now, we have all left our homeland. Those rights and wrongs have already become the past; we should look forward to the future."

It seems that this woman is quite magnanimous. Although the two have a feud, after experiencing this tribulation, she really has the intention of recruiting Roland.

She wants to decipher the truth path of the 'Shepherdess of Black Holy Blood'!

She hopes that the Holy Blood Wizards can take root in the South and reproduce the glory of the family.

And this former enemy is indeed an indispensable link.

Belinda is obviously different from that crazy person who thinks he is Wendy Shaw!

As a standard Eastern Territory wizard, Belinda always puts profit first.

For that brighter future, she is very able to let go.

This is the survival之道 of the Withered Blood Family; she knows the principle of joining if you can't beat them, and she also knows that if there is profit to be made, enemies should also become allies.

If you go against the grain, you won't go far. The Withered Blood Wizards would have perished with the Twilight long ago with hatred after being harvested by the Twilight for the first time hundreds of years ago. Instead of serving the Twilight as masters for hundreds of years, letting them continue to harvest!

Seeing that Roland showed some hesitation, Belinda continued, "You do have a feud with the Withered Blood Family, but this feud is essentially a struggle for survival.

You are at odds with Withered Blood Fortress for better survival.

Ms. Wendy Shaw wants to sacrifice you, also for better survival.

There is actually no right or wrong in this matter.

In that South, we are alone and helpless; cooperation is more conducive to survival, and hatred will inevitably lead us to destruction. Roland, the environment under our feet has changed; both of us should put the past behind us.

I know that you can decipher the 'Path of Holy Blood.' The path your team is taking is even more perfect than the Path of Holy Blood!

And you know that I am the initial researcher of the 'Path of Holy Blood.'

I hope we can work together to decipher this thing.

Of course, even if you are unwilling to cooperate, we will not become enemies today. The future is long."

Roland said, "Honorable Mrs. Belinda, you are very wise, and your words have struck my heart.

But I am not following the King of a Thousand Eyes.

You are right about a lot; a lone wolf may be able to survive in the South, but cannot eat meat, and can only live with its tail between its legs.

But I am not alone in the South.

"Given the situation with this Sea of Mist, by the time I arrive, many people from the Black Abyss might already be there."

Saying this, Roland looked at Belinda: "I'll be frank with you, I can indeed decipher the 'Path of the Holy Blood.' To be precise, it's called 'The Shepherdess of the Black Holy Blood.' It gathers the Shepherdess of the River Styx, the Holy Blood Baron, and the core of the Black Abyss."

Hearing this, Belinda's eyes flickered sharply.

Roland continued, "But I only possess a portion of it, the idol isn't with me.

Moreover, I alone cannot travel far on this path. Even with you all, it's useless—if only we cooperate, perhaps I can wait until the second gate is deciphered, but you won't live to see the third gate deciphered.

The Path of Truth is never deciphered by one person or one team.

It requires a massive force!

The birth of a Path of Truth can give rise to an entire great school of thought.

I believe you should know the Black Abyss school's research capabilities in mysticism.

We are far stronger than your Bloodless Clan.

Now, with the support of the Twilight Council, our research capabilities will only grow stronger.

Belinda, you should join the Black Abyss.

As I said, Bloodless Fort hasn't been destroyed; only the past Wendy Shaw and the Bloodless Baron behind her are finished.

She had no choice in the past and had to follow a pitiful fool destined to fail.

But now, you have a choice.

I hope we can move forward together in a cooperative manner.

Of course, even if you're unwilling to cooperate, the Black Abyss won't exterminate you all. After all, you only made the wrong choice because you followed the wrong master. We have a long future ahead."

This time, it was Belinda's turn to hesitate.

She looked at Roland with some annoyance and said, "What exactly does your fiancée want to do?"

It seemed that Roland's words had somewhat broken her defenses.

Roland said, "Like you, Madam. To survive, to survive better. If you're willing to join, we'll move faster and further."

Belinda nodded deeply, understanding Roland's meaning.

The Twilight Princess and the King of a Thousand Eyes are not of one mind.

His Majesty really knows how to raise daughters.

The eldest daughter is not of one mind with him.

The youngest daughter is also not of one mind with him.

Belinda actually knew that joining the Black Abyss was completely different from following the King of a Thousand Eyes. After all, if the Princess and His Majesty were of one mind, she and Roland would have made completing the King of a Thousand Eyes' mission their primary goal and directly fallen into the trap of Bloodless Fort.

Instead of discovering the secrets of Bloodless Fort through various explorations.

I wonder how many people in the Black Abyss have suffered.

But after the Yellow Fern Lord's affair, the Black Abyss can at least produce one Elder and a group of Tower Lords.

Each of these Tower Lords is stronger than her dead husband. Not to mention the Elder.

If one of them comes to the South, then there will truly be a backbone.

Moreover, as Baron Roland said, the idol is with the Princess. To obtain the complete Path of Truth, one must rely on the Princess.

This is indeed a very good path.

If she and the King of a Thousand Eyes are not of one mind, this is indeed a good path.

At this moment, Belinda suddenly saw Roland writing something in mid-air—it was a magical mark.

It was the Twilight Princess's magical mark.

Belinda secretly memorized it.

Roland knew she was already tempted when he saw Belinda's earnest gaze.

He reminded her again, "Madam Belinda, I mentioned the six Holy Blood Lords to you before. I wasn't lying about this. I believe you have a way to contact them and find out if what I said is true or false.

The idol is in Her Highness Catherine's hands. As long as you're willing to join, she will definitely welcome you very much."

Belinda felt reassured.

She looked at Roland for a long time, and finally said, "Then, Lord Roland. From now on, we are colleagues."

Roland breathed a great sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness."

Belinda said with a somewhat strange expression, "Lord Roland, you've always thought I wanted to kill you. Isn't your reaction a bit excessive?"

Roland looked to the other side and said, "Madam Belinda, I think you've misunderstood. It's Miss Wendy Shaw who wants to kill me."

Belinda frowned. She was about to say something, but then she suddenly reacted.

She looked in the direction of Roland's gaze with surprise, and then her expression became extremely strange.

Not far away, 'Miss Wendy Shaw' was secretly staring at Roland with a very resentful gaze.

Belinda couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is your person a bit too immersed in the role?"

Roland said in a low voice, "Madam, this matter is not easy to explain. But she's not acting; she really believes she is Countess Wendy Shaw."

Belinda was stunned for a long time and complained, "What exactly is wrong with that lunatic?"

Roland said, "Who knows what's wrong with her?!"

The two of them were really speechless now.

The real madam has already chosen to cooperate, but that lunatic is still clinging to illusory hatred!

Roland said, "My good colleague, there's something I need your help with—I can handle her, but your people seem to regard her as their matriarch."

The Bloodless Witches, or rather, the Holy Blood Witches, were all gathered on 'Wendy Shaw's' side. Everyone looked at Roland and the others with tangled eyes, seemingly making some kind of decision.

On Roland's side were the Seven Heroes, Madam Belinda, Belinda's sister Vera, and a dozen or so East Territory fugitives who were not of the Holy Blood Clan—they were not traitors; they chose to stand with Belinda rather than Wendy Shaw, and they were also determined to join the Black Abyss forces. So they didn't stand on the opposite side.

Seeing this scene, Roland said that he was really speechless!

Belinda looked at the Red Holy Maiden, her eyes gradually narrowing.

She had long been displeased with that guy.

Belinda said, "Lord Baron of the Black Abyss, your control over your slaves is really too poor. Controlling the body alone is not true enslavement; you must make her heart and body submit to you. I accept your deal; let me tell you about 'Madam Wendy Shaw's' secrets."

Saying this, Belinda walked over angrily.

Ten minutes later...

On the deck, 'Miss Wendy Shaw' was bound to the mast by red spider webs. She angrily cursed the stinky bitch and that damned man in her mouth.

The Holy Blood Witches, the Seven Heroes, the fugitive witches, and others all stood in the distance, studying musical instruments. They pretended not to hear or see anything, but their ears were secretly perked up.

Just now, the Baron of the Black Abyss used a strange trick, immobilizing 'Wendy Shaw' with one move.

Miss Wendy Shaw had already told her subordinates about this situation, so many Holy Blood Witches hesitated whether to help.

But at this moment, Madam Belinda made a move, or rather, Vera revealed some secrets about Wendy Shaw.

These secrets, which greatly broke Wendy Shaw's defenses, directly caused her to humiliatingly stop resisting.

At that time, everyone showed extremely strange expressions after hearing them.

Roland also had a strange expression after hearing them.

He looked at 'Belinda' and then at 'Wendy Shaw,' really wanting to give them both a 666!

Roland thought to himself: 'Anyway, Madam Belinda isn't Countess Wendy Shaw, right? This madam really doesn't care about this bit of shame.'

No matter who Miss Belinda is... Well, being able to say these things is 100% certain of her identity.

She is indeed not the kind of person who cares about moral bottom lines.

But 'Miss Wendy Shaw' looked very broken after hearing Belinda publicly reveal 'Countess Wendy Shaw's' secrets. This lunatic, she obviously isn't Countess Wendy Shaw!

The 'Belinda' in front of her is! 100% is!

Suddenly having such a big lunatic around, Roland felt that he was really speechless!

Roland imitated Goddess Hela's usual gesture, gave the Red Holy Maiden a hard 666, and then took out a towel from his bag and stuffed it into her mouth.
