I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Theresa said seriously: "Master, the Goddess Heraka still exists. I can feel Her gaze and hear Her response."

Roland's expression was surprisingly calm.

He said: "I understand what you mean. What you said makes sense. The Red Saintess may indeed be the Red Saintess, but my guess may also be correct.

Because the existence of the Goddess Heraka does not contradict the fact that She has been reincarnated.

—Or rather, you can indeed sense the gaze of God and hear God's response.

But the God you are sensing now is the 'past' Goddess Heraka."

Theresa's gaze towards Roland became even stranger. She really wanted to retort, 'Master, have you heard what you're saying?!'

But she wisely closed her mouth and went to do her work.

The nuns have one particularly good quality, which is that no matter how eccentric young Master Roland is, no matter what outrageous things the master orders them to do, they will carry them out to the letter.

After seeing Theresa off, Roland looked at the study and sighed a little.

"Including the books of the Bloodless Warlocks, there are a total of 3249 volumes, and I have read them all."

After calculating, Roland showed a strange expression.

According to the calendar, he had been on the ship for more than four years. So, he finished an average of three books a day?

Roland always felt that it was more than four years.

However, the calendar would not lie.

In fact, Roland had indeed flipped through all the books in the past twenty years.

He didn't study them all carefully, but it could be said that he had studied all the books in the study.

Because many books are related to each other, after reading one, you can flip through another without needing to do too in-depth research.

In the beginning, it took Roland more than a week to read a book, and sometimes he had to come back and flip through it again.

Later, he read faster and faster.

And in the beginning, Roland would pick out a book at random and feel like, 'The author is so amazing! The content is so detailed!' and so on.

But later on, Roland would pick out a book at random and feel like, 'Damn it, a complete waste of space! Just look at the overview on the first few pages and the summary on the last few pages.'

Especially those about magic theory. Sometimes several books are about a single level 6 spell. Roland would also carefully read these books, every single one. Because the magic of the South and the magic of the East are very different.

But he didn't need to study these books carefully. If it were someone else, these few books would be enough for them to study for twenty years! And as long as they could thoroughly study these few books for twenty years, they could live off them for the rest of their lives!

Because these books are very powerful. As long as you understand them, you can learn level six magic!

But Roland is a magic master. It takes others twenty years to study these few books. After Roland reads them in a few hours, he will only make an evaluation of 'Very interesting. If I have students in the future, I can let them study it, but it needs to be modified. This way of casting spells is not suitable for actual combat.'

His current magic is stronger than most late-stage first-tier wizards. Just writing the name of a level 6 magic spell could fill a book!

For example, super-difficult spells such as 'Shadow Invisibility' and 'Mist-Shrouded City' have been practiced by Roland to the pinnacle of this realm.

Roland is even encountering a problem now—he has to rely on magic books! Because he can't remember!

A few years ago, he even had a feeling that 'whether a magician is strong depends on his memory'.

Later, this feeling became 'it depends on whether I can think of this magic'—he no longer needs any incantations!

So, if someone were to flip through Roland's magic books, they would show a very confused expression.

Because most of the magic spells on it only have names and functions, without any incantations!

There are very, very few magic spells with incantations.

Rather than magic books, they are more like directories.

Roland can now be called a true magic master.

If Roland were to be made a tower master now, there would only be one area where he would be unable to do the job, and that is that he doesn't know how to teach magic to students.

Because he knows magic, but he doesn't know the incantations, and he can't even explain the principles!

Other professors might list a bunch of formulas when teaching magic. He directly writes the answers.

The same is true in terms of knowledge. He has read so many, many things and has a good impression of them. He not only understands this knowledge, but also knows the essence behind it.

However, he only suddenly remembers this knowledge when he encounters something, and then directly says an answer.

And when others hear this answer, they will feel like, 'Do you understand? How could it be like this? Are you talking crazy?'

In magic and knowledge, Roland has reached the realm of returning to simplicity.

He is the same in swordsmanship.

Roland has been practicing swordsmanship with himself.

One self is Roland, and the other self is the 'Red Saintess' whose body is controlled by Roland.

Saint Blood Warlocks are typically practitioners of both magic and physical skills. The Red Saintess's body is very powerful, and with the suppression of her realm, she was very suitable as Roland's swordsman opponent at first.

But later on, Roland had to make two portions of body-enhancing magic potions every time he hunted sea monsters to train the Red Saintess's body.

In the end, Roland had to let Leona help the Red Saintess fight him.

Because his swordsmanship was too strong, even if the opponent's physical strength was stronger than him, it was difficult for them to be his opponent. Only by adding Leona's incredibly bizarre movement skills could they defeat Roland.

But after Roland mastered the Night Demon Secret Technique and Shadow Invisibility, Roland would also have a feeling of 'You guys are too stupid' when little Leona helped.

In the beginning, Roland had a feeling that 'in the same situation, the moves determine the outcome'. So he always had a feeling that 'the more sword skills a swordsman understands, the stronger he is, and there is restraint between sword skills'.

But later on, he had a feeling that 'whether a swordsman is strong depends on whether his sword is fast enough (sword qi speed) and whether it is strong enough'.

In the end, it became 'whether a swordsman is strong depends on his brain, and the victory or defeat lies in the game'.

He is now 'winning without moves'.

This is already the realm of a Sword Saint.

His body is also very terrifying, and he can fight sea monsters in the sea.

The only shortcoming is that he does not have the cultivation methods of second-tier Sword Saints.

So his swordsman strength is quasi-second-tier. A quasi-Sword Saint with a physical strength almost like a demon from the abyss.

In the study, there are many records about the strong men of the South.

In the South, knights have a very high status and are very strong. A 'Knight Saint' of the early second tier, like 'Lawrence', is someone even Dagma wouldn't dare to provoke easily.

Roland really wanted to see the strength of the Southern Sword Saints.

The Red Saintess can no longer be Roland's sparring partner.

Or rather, the Red Saintess can no longer beat Roland if she doesn't go all out. Before today, when she thought she was Diana, if she was given the chance to go all out, she would really risk her life to fight Roland.

This made Roland not know what his current strength was.

Today is his latest combat record—killing a second-tier early-stage sea monster in the sea.

But this is a record he achieved by relying on the 'Spider Ship'. It can be considered that he used technology.

Recently, Roland has faintly had the feeling of breaking through the mid-stage of the first tier and entering the late-stage of the first tier in his cultivation.

'Fatty Duncan' and many Bloodless Warlocks also have many recipes and ready-made advanced magic potions.

But Roland has not been promoted, because in "Deep Sea Alchemy and the Art of Immortality", there is an incredible recipe.

The deep-sea magic potion made from this recipe can give wizards a powerful body like a sea monster when they are promoted, and keep them young forever.

There is even a chance to gain some of the power of the sea monster.

Therefore, Roland was very excited a few days ago when he saw the giant demon of the South Sea, the second-tier 'Sylius', raging in the storm.

From a physical point of view, Sylius is famous for its tenacious vitality and can regenerate severed limbs. After extracting its power through alchemy, the magic potion can maximize the physical enhancement—this is a second-tier sea monster!

In terms of magic power, Sylius can call the wind and rain and summon storms.

The only flaw is that Sylius's magic resistance is very average. Using it to refine magic potions will not improve magic resistance much.

On the contrary, some sea monsters famous for their magic resistance are generally average in vitality.

Roland once struggled with whether to increase HP and recovery or increase defense.

But later, he decided to increase HP and recovery.

Because the most powerful people in the South are the saints. Their magic is mostly 'divine magic', which is a force that directly strikes at the source—in Roland's words, it is true damage.

Therefore, stacking HP is better than stacking magic resistance.

As for the wizards of the South, strictly speaking, they should be 'magicians' or 'people favored by the god of magic', because they have no realm!

Judging from some biographical books in the study, the strength of 'magicians' in the South is a bit too exaggerated. It's like a myth.

In these biographies, there was a little girl who had only been exposed to magic for a few days. Although she was only at the level of a wizard's apprentice, the magic she unleashed was so powerful that even a 'demi-god' wouldn't dare to face it head-on.

However, based on the magical literature, Roland felt that the magic of the South was completely crushed by the Eastern Territory.

Roland felt that those biographies were generally true—the deeds of some magicians might really be like mythological stories.

However, these magicians were probably not humans, but gods who came down to stroll around disguised as mortals!

Shaking his head, Roland decided to advance to the late stage of Tier 1 first.

He was about to step into the South, a place where gods and demons roamed everywhere, and he felt too insecure without some strength.

"Bring the study with me."

Roland waved his magic wand, and all the books in the study returned to the bookshelf.

Then, he took out a magic book, flipped through it, and then Roland raised the serpent staff in his hand high, and Roland chanted a magic spell in the center of the study.

The latest novels are available on Liu\\_9\\_Shu\\_Ba!

This spell took Roland more than half a minute to chant, draining one-third of his magic power.

With the guidance of magic, the bookshelves in the study actually appeared like a mosaic wall with many square blocks.

Immediately afterwards, the square mosaics on the bookshelf kept protruding and receding, constantly shrinking, and finally shrinking into a Rubik's Cube!

Reaching out and pointing with his magic wand, the Rubik's Cube fell into Roland's hand. He tossed the Rubik's Cube twice. The dynamics of the Rubik's Cube were very strange, as if they were in slow motion.

Moreover, it seemed that Roland 'clearly didn't use any force', but the Rubik's Cube was tossed very, very high each time, and he had to pull it down with his hand before it would slowly fall.

After going out the door, Roland stuffed the little Rubik's Cube into his pocket, shook his head and muttered: 'The weight is very low, but the mass has not changed. The Southern magic collected by the three-headed snakes is still not as good as my senior sister's... How did she turn the house into paper? In the words of the Southerners, that's not magic at all, it's sorcery!'

It turned out that this Rubik's Cube weighed more than two tons! But when Roland tossed it up, he didn't use much force.

It really didn't have any weight, but its inertia was terrifying.

As a result, when it was tossed up, whether it was going up or falling down, it was like it was in slow motion!

'My strength is indeed getting stronger and stronger. I wonder what will happen after taking the 'Selius Potion'... Maybe I can turn some ore into small iron balls and pretend to be small iron balls to hit people.'

Roland went directly to the alchemy room.

The straw sailors sent some materials from the sea monster's body, and several nuns were processing the materials here.

This alchemy room was previously presided over by the Red Saintess.

Mrs. Wendy Shav's memory is very precious, and Roland has learned a lot of knowledge about potion alchemy.

He even suspected that a lot of the memory did not come from Wendy Shav but from another 'person'.

Well, anyway, now the Red Saintess thinks she is Diana.

A weak and gentle Muggle shepherdess, only at the level of a low-level apprentice—but in the diary, she is very talented. So she can still help with alchemy.

If there were three-headed snake wizards here, they would find that in this alchemy room, there are many things that can repair the 'Magic Hub'.

In fact, the magic hub on this ship has been repaired by Roland according to the blueprints in the study.

But this ship still cannot be opened with the magic hub, because Roland lacks magic stones.

There were originally a lot of magic stones on the ship, but most of them were thrown into the sea by the three-headed snake sailors.

The remaining magic stones are not enough for this ship, and Roland has used them to make 'straw magic puppets' over the years—these are real magic puppets.

Roland still has Little Roland's ability, but unless there are special circumstances, he doesn't want to use Little Roland, because he can't control himself under the desire buff.

So these magic puppets were all alchemized by Roland according to the 'Thousand Body Technique' and incorporated the magic carpet technology. They are his hands and eyes, and also his straw magic carpet servants.

Speaking of which, Roland now has only a few hundred magic stones in his pocket.

Even with the magic stones on the magic puppets, it is less than 10,000.

Ten thousand magic stones... For a Tier 1 wizard, it is a considerable number.

Even for a wealthy wizard lord, these 10,000 magic stones are worth several years of income for the territory.

And even for a magic warship, it is enough.

But for a 'third-generation magic warship' like this 'super warship', it is really not enough.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the 'Storm' is a small aircraft carrier, or a 'heavy cruiser'!

Its 'fuel consumption' is very terrifying.

Its magic hub can use the 'Philosopher's Stone'! And the 'Philosopher's Stone' is the standard power configuration of this ship!

There was originally a Philosopher's Stone on the ship.

But it was thrown into the sea by the three-headed snakes.

Before, the three-headed snakes saw that Roland and his group were about to break into the bottom cabin, and threw many important materials that could affect the battle into the sea.

Including the Philosopher's Stone on the magic hub. If these magic stones were obtained by the Eastern Territory wizards, they could activate the magic cannon!

The magic cannon is much easier to repair than the magic hub, and it is very difficult to completely destroy. It can be launched even if the wizard 'hammers it a few times' in extreme environments!

This thing can be activated independently of the magic hub, as long as there are enough magic stones, or even if there is a Philosopher's Stone. Then the six magic cannons on the ship will instantly transform into six terrifying Tier 2 wizards!

Although it takes a long time to charge, it shoots far and hits hard, and can perform long-range strikes beyond visual range.

By then, Dagma in the distance will be gone before he even sees the ship!

And even if the Eastern Territory wizards don't use the magic cannon, the Philosopher's Stone can make their magic circle many, many times stronger.

This Philosopher's Stone is worth a hundred strange objects! It must never be obtained by the enemy.

So the crew threw all these important strategic materials in the lower cabin into the sea—including many spare parts.

As a result, Roland had to use materials from the sea monster to repair the ship later.

At that time, the Storm had not yet entered the mist. So as long as the three-headed snakes could stabilize their position, it would be fine to throw the magic stones into the sea.

Because they have Nagas, and magic stones, especially things like the Philosopher's Stone, contain powerful magic power. For the Nagas, taking some instruments can find all the magic stones back in a few days.

So for the Nagas, throwing the magic stones into the sea is like throwing things into their home.

Even if the Storm enters the mist, and even if several weeks have passed, the magic stones have been washed far away by the water. It doesn't matter.

The three-headed snakes only need to return to the original coordinates after the victory, increase the search range and search again, which is just a matter of spending more time.

But even if Roland has Nagas, he can't find those things back.

One is that after the mist dissipates, I don't know how many years will have passed.

One is that this place is a full seven thousand kilometers away from the previous coordinates!

So, now this broken ship has to be pulled slowly by spider silk.

'Oh, I'm so worried. This place is indeed 'very close' to the continental shelf, but how many years will it take to pull it there? If we encounter a storm, the ship will be blown off course.'

Roland shook his head and came to a nun named 'Maria'.

Leona was also here, joining in the fun.

She was standing next to the alchemy table, watching Leona playing with a strange big gemstone.

Perhaps interested in 'beef granules', Leona is also full of curiosity about this 'beef granule processing plant (alchemy room)'.

However, she usually dances and makes trouble here, but today she stood there curiously playing with the gemstone—her eyes shining.

This gemstone is indeed very beautiful.

It is a sapphire, as big as a palm!

Judging from the blood stains and white semi-solid liquid on it, it should have been taken out of Selius's brain.

After wiping it clean, the gemstone is perfect and flawless.

This gemstone faintly reveals a strange magical brilliance.

Maria said: "Rabbi, look at what this is? I couldn't find it in the book."

Roland frowned, took it over and looked at it, and then his eyes suddenly shrank.
