I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Bishop Joshua smiled and said, "It doesn't mean anything. It's just that the six of us should maintain absolute neutrality. Now that we have removed certain denominations from the list, we shouldn't try to salvage them again."

The two began to argue. Roland secretly observed the expressions of the other bishops, thinking, 'Marquis may have already been exposed. But no one has suspected the old codger.'

Roland guessed that the Old Church had not yet been completely exposed, but Marquis's previous trip to the garden with the Hydra had probably been discovered.

Everyone was afraid that Marquis would help the Hydra retrieve things, so they became wary of Marquis.

— "Alright, you two stop arguing!"

Aurelia exclaimed. She pointed at Joshua and said, "It's you, go and retrieve everything."

Joshua was stunned for a moment. He bowed to Aurelia, then stepped onto the water and slowly walked towards the center of the circular pier, holding the list.

Marquis's face on the side was a little ugly. He snorted and said nothing more. The other bishops nodded secretly, quite satisfied with the result.

Roland thought to himself, 'It seems that everyone is still more at ease with Bishop Joshua. Although Aurelia is stupid, she can still choose the right person at critical moments.'

Joshua was the red-robed bishop who initially guarded the Holy Monument with the old codger Harland. He had chatted with Roland, and Roland knew that he belonged to the 'moderate faction of the Church' and had a good impression of him.

As for Marquis, the great prophet, although Roland is now cooperating with the Old Church, Roland always felt that if Marquis were to retrieve things, consequences that he would not want to see would occur.

After Bishop Joshua arrived at the center of the water, he looked at the list and the detailed list in his hand, then took out a small bag from his waist and poured the contents of the bag into the water.

When those things just left the mouth of the bag, they were very small, but after falling into the water, they became as big as children.

Roland took a closer look and found that those things were actually 'Holy Fruits'!

Aurelia looked at Harland very strangely and asked, "What kind of sacrifice is that? The corpses of black wizards? Oh~~ I understand, the Church wants to take this opportunity to let those bad eggs fall into the abyss!"

Harland said, "No, child. Those are not black wizards, they are believers. Believers of Marode."

Aurelia asked, "Believers? Aren't they good people? Why sacrifice obedient good people?"

Harland said, "Precisely because they are all obedient good people, they will be sacrificed."

Aurelia was slightly stunned. She cursed, "What kind of bullshit logic is this! This group of damned New Church believers actually dare to sacrifice the believers of the gods, wait until I go back..."

Harland interrupted Aurelia, he said, "Child, how dare a shepherd sacrifice the lord's sheep? This is all the will of the gods."

Aurelia was stunned in place. Coming to the human world this time, she saw too many things. These things were completely different from what she knew.

Joshua's foundation in theology was very deep. He actually improvised a hymn, containing the complex and lengthy information on the list in that long divine language.

Slowly, everyone saw many strange fluorescent lights appearing at the bottom of the water, which was the magical radiance emitted by the treasures.

Many treasures floated from the bottom of the water to the surface, and under Joshua's guidance, floated into the air.

Some bishops, after discovering that the holy fruits in Joshua's hand were used up, hurriedly untied their bags and threw out the holy fruits.

When hundreds of things floated into the air in the center of the circular pier, the bishops and leaders of the sects took the duplicate lists and hurriedly checked the items.

Someone said, "It's all here, basically all here! No need to sacrifice anymore!"

— "No, there's still one missing. This treasure requires a bit more sacrifice."

Archbishop Marquis threw the bag around his waist directly into the water, and he said to Joshua, "Your Excellency Joshua, is this enough this time?"

Joshua smiled and said, "Enough, enough, this is enough this time!"

In his words, an ancient and strange book suddenly flew out of the water. The pages of the book rustled in the air, revealing the contents inside.

Divine script often records a large amount of content. The characters on a few stone slabs can often write and record the entire history of a civilization.

So an old scripture is often a small stone slab, with hundreds of words. A longer one may be recorded in a holy monument, with thousands of words.

But this book was entirely written in divine script, and the pages seemed to never end.

It seemed that the pages of this book were endless, recording all the contents of the world.

Seeing this extremely familiar book, Roland was shocked. He suddenly patted his waist, and then revealed an extremely strange expression.

Many bishops did not recognize the book, but they also found something was wrong.

A red-robed bishop questioned loudly, "Joshua, what are you doing? What is that book? Is it recorded on the list?"

Joshua did not answer. He reached out and took the book, glanced at it, and then trembled with excitement.

Aurelia suddenly shouted, "Damn it! That's the Book of Folly! Quickly snatch that book back!"

Many bishops were shocked.

The Araye Dynasty in the past was overthrown because it secretly created this book, attempting to create gods.

The gods absolutely do not allow this book to appear, and neither does the New Church.

Only then did many bishops know that Joshua was actually a believer of the Old Church! He was ostensibly preventing Marquis from participating in the retrieval of things, but in fact, it was because he discovered that Marquis was suspected, so he deliberately stood up!

Even if the blind goddess Aurelia had not chosen him to play, the Old Church must have prepared someone else to play.

Before everyone could react, Joshua laughed loudly and turned into a ball of light, flying into the distance.

— "Quick, stop him!"

Someone shouted towards the nearby believers, but the group activated the nearby teleportation matrix and opened a teleportation gate. Joshua flew directly into the gate and disappeared.

Someone saw that the Temple Knights were about to destroy the matrix and close the door, and quickly pointed towards it—just a light touch, and many corals grew on those crystal arrays.

Those corals clearly looked very fragile, but no matter how the Old Church believers tried to destroy them, they could not break them.

At this time, everyone had realized that the group of Temple Knights and Joshua might all be remnants of the Old Church, so many people around them killed the believers who opened the door.

The pier was in chaos, and some bishops took the opportunity to lead people into the door. Then many people flew into the door.

For a time, everyone could not tell who was the enemy and who was the teammate. Some people took the opportunity to snatch the treasures and old scriptures floating on the water.

In the chaos, many people rushed into the teleportation gate, but everyone did not know whether those people were Joshua's accomplices or were going to chase Joshua.

Only Harland and a young middle-aged man remained of the red-robed bishops at the scene.

— "What are you still doing, hurry up and chase!"

Aurelia stomped her feet in anger, she flew up and wanted to chase. But the old codger Harland stopped her.

Harland said, "Good child, you can't leave. Someone has to guard this place."

Another red-robed bishop and many sect leaders nodded.

Aurelia said, "Grandpa, are you worried that someone will continue to retrieve things after I leave? It's okay, there's a lot of my divine power in this well. As long as you take away the Sincere Crest, even if someone can open the well, they will die!"

Harland said, "What I'm worried about is such a thing. Such a huge power has erupted, I'm afraid it will blow up the entire Marode."

Another red-robed bishop added, "The believers of Marode will return to the embrace of the gods in baptism. So we are not afraid of this disaster. But if the well is damaged, how can people bathe in divine grace?"

As soon as Roland heard this kind of brain-dead talk, he knew that this guy was definitely a New Church believer.

It seems that there are only three people in the Old Church in total—Harland, Marquis, and Joshua.

The bishop looked at the people who were still fighting in the distance and shouted, "Stop!"

As soon as these words came out, people slowly put away their weapons—this shows that the people who were not fighting may all be their own people.

This was a good thing, but the faces of the adults became a little ugly when they saw this scene.

Because this means that those who ran away are probably all heretics!

Everyone couldn't help but look at Andra on the side.

The Hydras had been watching coldly from beginning to end, not participating in the turmoil. Of course, many sect people did not move either. After all, it was difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends at this time.

So, everyone can't use this reason to say that the Hydra is related to the Old Church. But that Marquis had contact with the Hydras before!

Therefore, the Hydra also became suspicious.

Aurelia looked at Andra and said stupidly, "You are very good, not only did you not snatch things. You also kept the door open just now. If it weren't for you, everyone would not be able to chase those guys."

Everyone felt their eyes darken when they heard Aurelia praise Andra—the goddess is really blind! That Andra guy might be the biggest cult leader!

He was protecting the door just now, probably just acting. This group of sea monsters probably wants everyone to leave, and then do something here!

Andra said, "Your Highness, those who left all took the old scriptures and holy objects with them. I'm afraid they are all inseparable from the Old Church.

Especially the Book of Roland, this thing is of great importance. If the Old Church gets it, I'm afraid something big will happen."

"Just relying on Bishop Arthur and Bishop George to take those people away, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with so many people."

As soon as these words came out, many leaders of the sects suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Just now, during the chaos, they saw someone snatching the Old Testament, so they hurriedly asked their men to compete for it.

And some people saw that their sect's things were taken away by others, and they ran out of the teleportation gate, so they hurriedly asked their own people to chase them.

The sect leaders ordered both the snatching of things and the chasing of people, but who knew whether those executors were their own people or the people of the Old Church?

Aolei Li interjected: "Then you quickly take people to chase them! You look like you are very powerful, and you have many people. As long as you go, you will definitely be able to catch all the bad guys!"

— — "No!"

The cardinal shouted, he said: "The Book of Foolishness is indeed very important, but in the end, it is just a forbidden book for creating evil gods.

In comparison, the Well of Faith is more important!"

A patriarch of a sect nodded and said: "That's right. The Foolish God is just a wolf. As long as the Well of Faith is still there, no matter how fierce this wolf is, it will be beaten to death by the shepherd."

After listening to this, O'Reilly cursed angrily: "You know nothing! That guy is very powerful. If he really gets out, anyone who comes will be useless! Andra, listen to me, take people to help quickly!"

Hearing this, the faces of the church leaders couldn't help but become very ugly.

Originally, everyone was a little unable to stop the Hydra from leaving, but now O'Reilly has spoken again. He can leave as a matter of course now.

The leaders couldn't help but wink at their subordinates, signaling them to follow along.

At this time, the old swindler coughed and said: "I will also take people to go with him, but there is no need for so many people to go together—Your Excellency Andra, let Miss Faki take half of the sirens to stay behind."

Andra smiled and said: "Okay."

After speaking, Andra arranged for Faki and more than one hundred others to stay, planning to take only more than one hundred people away.

The Hydra has a total of more than 300 people. Now that half of them have left and half are left, there is no threat outside, and there is not so much threat inside.

Seeing Andra agreeing so readily, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and followed the Hydra one after another.

The old swindler handed the bag containing the holy fruit on his waist to another cardinal, and then he was about to leave.

Seeing this scene, Roland and Faki exchanged glances secretly, and both of them were overjoyed.

As long as the old swindler leaves, Faki will definitely be able to take people to hold back the other cardinal and his followers, and Roland will have no problem getting the Well of Faith under O'Reilly's nose!

Just as the two were secretly delighted, a small hand grabbed the old swindler tightly.

O'Reilly said: "Grandpa, stay here and accompany me, you are the most powerful here. I have just advanced to 'Star Wizard (Demigod)', and my realm is not stable yet. With you here, I can rest assured."

Another bishop nodded and said: "Your Excellency Harland, since the Holy Son trusts you the most, then you should stay. The three of us can deal with the three of them without any problem."

Harland thought for a while and said: "Okay."

The faces of Roland and Faki suddenly became very ugly.

Another bishop handed both bags containing the holy fruit to O'Reilly. Then he left with his men.

The people of the Holy Chant Abbey are all from the Black Abyss, and they also went to the teleportation gate with the people from the various sects.

Several old Black Abyss people gave Roland and the two sisters a look before leaving—here depends on you and the young lady.

The two sisters were very崩溃when they saw this look, and hurriedly responded with their eyes—we are not Catherine and Anna!

Roland also felt very崩溃—why did they all leave?

People are leaving in line one after another. It seems that they plan to leave three hundred believers and one hundred sirens here.

Looking at the sirens who were gradually gathering around Faki, Roland couldn't help but give Faki a look—are your people reliable? Are they from the Old Church?

Faki seems very nervous now, but she pretended to be calm and gave Roland a look back—there is no one on the Hydra's side who is not from the Old Church. But don't worry, even if Harland is really a great prophet, the Hydras don't know. I have a way to make them all listen to me.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

Faki looked at Harland not far away with some nervousness.

She didn't know whether Harland was really a great prophet, but she knew what kind of image the great prophet usually used to contact the Old Church.

Disguise yourself at a critical moment, plus the Orb of the God of Deception, and you can definitely confuse people.

Of course, the premise is that Roland doesn't mess things up and turn himself into a broken-winged angel. (End of this chapter)
