I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Roland did not directly recall Little Roland, because he had just told Billy that it was his puppet, not an avatar. Killing it directly would be a bit strange. So he put the scarecrow into his bag.

After leaving, the two walked and talked.

I don't know why, maybe Billy was in a good mood today?

He actually started talking to Roland about his family affairs.

As a second-tier wizard, as a confidant of the Sea Fort Baron and the second-in-command of Black Sails, Billy, although not comparable to the tower master bigwigs of Black Abyss or White Chess, many upper-level wizards of White Chess and the Twilight Council on this sea cannot compare with this small early second-tier wizard.

Many tower masters on land have to ask Billy for help when they encounter matters involving the sea.

He is indeed a disciple and confidant of the Sea Fort Baron, but strictly speaking, the two are major shareholders and general managers of the company. They are partners.

Billy can be said to be very powerful and well-connected, and the wealth he has accumulated over the years is also amazing.

He also has a very large earldom on land - considered a border earldom. He can also be said to be the king of a small earldom.

He is a complete winner in life, but his family has a difficult story to tell.

Billy said sadly: "A long, long, long time ago, I was married. Although we have been separated for many years due to differences in opinion, she is the only wife in my heart.

She is the ruler of another kingdom, and our two countries are at odds with each other."

Speaking of this, Billy smiled mischievously at Roland: "Twenty or thirty years ago, I changed my identity again and secretly slept with her. She only knew she had been slept with by me when she became pregnant! Haha~~

She almost killed me!

But you know, I have a lot of people under my command.

I took people to join her, and she couldn't kill me.

So, under my persistent persuasion and power trading, she accepted the child. As a result, when my daughter grew up, she realized that the person was still me! Hahaha~~"

It sounds like Billy is really not generally shameless. The relationship between him and his wife is also not generally strained.

Billy sighed: "I have many children. So many that I can't even count them. But in my heart, there are only two children.

Unfortunately, neither my eldest daughter nor my youngest son is willing to inherit my mantle.

They want to go out on their own, to create their own world. They even ran to their mother's kingdom to specifically oppose Billy.

The youngest son was actually quite promising, but unfortunately, he died before me. Billy was sad for a long time.

The eldest daughter is even more promising, but she is too rebellious.

Like her mother, she hates her father.

She has caused Billy a lot of trouble, and even almost destroyed Billy's kingdom at one point.

However, old ginger is still spicier, and after Billy finished his business at sea and returned to the kingdom, he quickly took care of all his daughter's people.

Logically speaking, rebellion must be punished.

But he couldn't bear to part with his daughter.

She is his only child.

He exiled his daughter to a distant place, where she lived a hard life for a long time.

Billy said: "Although the little girl's methods are very immature, she is a genius, and she will definitely be more promising than me in the future.

I am afraid that she will cause trouble again while I am away, so I dare not let my daughter come back.

But this girl is amazing, she actually sneaked back by herself."

Speaking of this, Billy shook his head and continued: "But this girl has become sensible and has begun to understand her father. I am very pleased.

And a little worried.

She brought back a husband and a child!

It doesn't matter that the kid comes from the bottom, I used to be a slave in the secular world, I don't care about my son-in-law's identity - heroes don't ask about their origins, right?

But that kid's reputation is really too bad!"

Hearing this, Roland couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

What is Billy's identity? A second-tier wizard, placed in the South is a 'saint', placed in a secular kingdom, that is a holy king!

His daughter's identity is naturally extremely noble - it sounds like she used to plot to usurp the throne and kick this old father, who was not at home all day, aside and become king herself.

This is a female hero!

Why would she fall in love with a young man with a fiery spirit?

The most beloved daughter, but she was abducted by a punk with bleached hair. How upsetting is that?

In a fit of anger, Billy fed the kid to the fish.

But his daughter never paid attention to him again.

Billy sighed: "I didn't kill him because of my daughter, I killed him because there were people hidden behind him."

Roland said: "Having a father-in-law like you, and still betraying you, he deserves to die! You are amazing. I remember a famous king once said a sentence - 'I admire Mussolini, because I don't dare to do what he did, execute my own son-in-law!'

You, dare to execute your own son-in-law.

You are incredible."

Billy shook his head and sighed incessantly.

Roland also shook his head and sighed incessantly: "Your daughter can be considered to have considered the overall situation, knowing that you killed her husband because he colluded with the Three-Headed Serpent. Therefore, she didn't turn against you. Otherwise, she might overthrow you again, or even kill you."

Billy asked in confusion: "How do you know? Just a stinky kid, is my daughter really capable of patricide?"

Roland sighed: "Your daughter certainly wouldn't kill her father because of her husband. But this matter is a fuse.

With your daughter's life experience, she may be sad, but she won't be trapped by love. She may blame you, but after all, her fiancé was a traitor, harmful to her people. For the sake of the world. She knows her husband deserves to die.

So normally speaking, although she will hate you, she can still forgive you in the future, after all, you are connected by blood, and time can change everything, right?

But, Billy. You are a tyrant!

That's right, with your methods, you must be a tyrant - am I wrong?"

Billy sighed: "I am indeed a tyrant. I am overseas all year round, and I put pressure with thunderous methods every time I go back. Occasionally, when I rest in the kingdom, I also eat, drink, and have fun, ignoring government affairs. My descendants are also unpromising. My kingdom is about the same as the Twilight Council."

Roland clapped his hands and said: "Look at you! If someone like you continues to sit on the throne, your people will have no way to survive!

I guess, your daughter and wife have wanted to rebel against you for more than a day or two!

You said your daughter has become sensible. She has indeed become sensible.

She must have grown up after experiencing so many things. But the experience of failure and suffering, although it can smooth out a person's arrogance and edges, and make people lower their heads, it can also make people more sober!

She may have already begun to understand you, but it's not enough.

She has only just eased her relationship with you, but you killed her child's husband. Let me ask, did you go and deeply understand your son-in-law? Did you deeply understand the things between your daughter and son-in-law?"

Billy sighed: "I'm too busy, how can I have so many eyes to see."

Roland smiled and said: "Look, you killed people directly without asking, isn't this cruelty, what is it?

Aren't you pushing your daughter into a fire pit?

Aren't you forcing your daughter to rebel against you?

Originally, she had begun to understand you, thinking that your kingdom needed a cruel tyrant. It needs you, this man-eating lion.

But she is very conflicted, because she knows that you, this lion, are too huge, afraid that one day you will be stubborn and eat everyone - if you make a decision to sacrifice the entire kingdom to help you go further, no one can stop you!

Let me ask - can you do this kind of thing?"

Billy shook his head and said: "I wouldn't do that. How can eating mortals compare to eating wizards? How can eating wizards compare to eating gods?

Millions and millions of mortals are not as good as a weak god.

But although I wouldn't do this, many of my actions will make people misunderstand that even if the lion yawns, the sheep will be terrified.

Besides, I have a lot of things to do. My decisions on many things are incomprehensible to others."

Roland sighed: "It's really hard to be the ruler of a country.

Look, your daughter doesn't understand you enough. She is at a very tangled point. She is tangled between loyally following you or following her mother.

The death of your son-in-law will affect the balance in your daughter's heart.

And your daughter and your wife have the ability to push you into the abyss. Don't underestimate the weak.

Just like powerful gods, once they become arrogant, they will be overthrown by wizards.

Let me ask, when did you kill your son-in-law?"

Billy shook his head and said: "I can't remember, I haven't been back to the country for a long time."

Roland shook his head and said: "Be careful when you go back this time."

Billy smiled and said: "Lance, if it wasn't inappropriate, I would really want to keep you by my side. If you were well-trained, you would definitely be more promising than my disciples, maybe even surpass my son. How old are you this year, twenty-four or five?"

Roland's face couldn't help but change slightly, he said sincerely: "Your Excellency Billy, you really have discerning eyes. Normal people think I'm over fifty. I usually tell them I'm over sixty.

The newest novels are at 69shu.com!

But you are really accurate, seeing that I just stepped into the first gate of truth not long ago. As you said, I am only thirty-five this year."

Roland overstated his age by several years.

"Heh heh heh."

Billy smiled very happily, he looked at Roland and said: "Little brother Lance, if my son-in-law had half your brains and ability, I wouldn't have killed him back then."

Roland said earnestly, "You're wrong, Billy. The more capable he is, the more you have to kill him! Loyalty is the most important foundation. Isn't a traitorous fellow, the more potential he has, the more of a threat he is to your future?"

Billy looked at Roland and nodded deeply.

Roland asked curiously, "He's colluding with the Three-Headed Serpent, right? The person behind him is the leader of the Three-Headed Serpent?"

Billy shook his head and said, "No, the person behind him is a heretical god. In fact, I'm also a little hesitant about whether to kill him because of this.

You know, I am a pure Eastern Territory wizard, and I am at odds with gods. And I happened to be handling a major event during that time, and I was worried that the heretical god would interfere in this matter through him. Actually, if I exiled him overseas…"

Roland interrupted with a grave expression, "Billy, how can you be so soft-hearted?

Even if he goes overseas, can you guarantee that he won't secretly come back?

Even if his heart is with your family, if that heretical god forces him, won't he secretly return from overseas?

Taking a step back, what if your daughter and your wife contact this kid and ask him to come back and help you mess things up?

Your daughter already has murderous intentions towards you, and your wife also has murderous intentions towards you. If the two of them join forces with the heretical god behind your son-in-law, you will surely die!"

Billy couldn't help but take a deep look at Roland and said, "Lance, you are truly my confidant. If my daughter or other sons could be half as sensible as you, alas…"

Roland chuckled and said, "However, Billy, you still made the wrong move."

Billy raised an eyebrow and asked, "How so?"

Roland said, "How could you personally kill your own son-in-law? You should have let your daughter kill him!"

Billy had a sudden realization.

Roland continued, "There is so much room for manipulation in this matter. Your daughter is a heroic woman who dares to put family loyalty second to righteousness, and your son-in-law is not clean himself. As long as you splash some dirty water and sow discord, creating some inexplicable misunderstandings, making your daughter believe that her son-in-law wants to destroy the kingdom.

Then, for the sake of the common people of the world, your son-in-law will surely die."

Billy couldn't help but slowly nod, revealing a look of being taught. He exclaimed, "I was blinded by anger. I should have thought of this earlier."

Roland smiled and said, "It's fortunate you didn't think of it, because this is just the worst-case scenario."

Billy became interested. This kid's schemes are more insidious than the last. He really wanted to hear what he had to say, so he asked, "Oh? Are there middle and upper strategies as well?"

Roland chuckled and said, "Conspiracies always have a day to be exposed. Letting your daughter kill her own husband is not a good plan.

The day she learns the truth in the future, she will definitely seek death and perish together with you. She may not be able to defeat you, but she is seeking death."

Billy nodded in understanding, "I should borrow someone else's hand. There are plenty of pirates on the sea. If his ship encounters an accident, it would be a reasonable thing."

Roland smiled and said, "Billy, this is just the middle strategy."

Billy's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is there an upper strategy that has no side effects?"

Roland smiled without saying a word.

Billy frowned and pondered for a moment, then revealed a look of realization.

Roland nodded and said, "Brother Billy, your wisdom is truly unmatched. I originally wanted to play a little trick, but I didn't expect you to guess it yourself. That's right, harmony brings wealth.

A heretical god who needs to rely on a spokesperson to know what's happening in this world is nothing more.

In the ancient books of wizards, there are plenty of ways to blind His eyes. It's not necessarily necessary to kill this person.

Listening to what you said earlier, your son-in-law may not be that bad.

After all, rumors are often untrue.

Thinking carefully, your daughter suddenly understood you, someone must have enlightened her. I'm afraid that your daughter's sudden change is also related to the person beside her pillow.

Even if this person beside her pillow only says one sentence, 'Don't anger your father,' 'Your kingdom needs a lion,' it's more useful than you roaring a hundred times!

Sometimes, whether a family can be harmonious also requires the help of such an outsider.

To say something unpleasant, your prestige in the kingdom is too high. You need a little gentle policy—this family can't just have you, you need your wife and daughter to help.

If the three of you can be harmonious and merge the two countries into one, and then use both prestige and gentle policies, the future is promising.

But, you've already made the wrong move. You've already killed your son-in-law, so it's too late to say anything now."

Billy asked, "Is there a way to salvage it?"

Roland smiled without saying a word.

Billy immediately understood. He smiled and led the way to the door where the mermaid was located, opened the door, and made a gesture of 'Lord Lance, please enter'.

Roland put his hands behind his back and stepped into the door, but when he saw the situation inside, he was completely dumbfounded.

Inside, there was a group of Nagas rushing into the cabin, and several Three-Headed Serpent wizards were maintaining order.

Roland couldn't help but be shocked—Bad, bad, the sharpshooter is going to shoot!

Roland hurriedly turned his head to look, but found that Brother Billy was rubbing his face—after rubbing his face like that, he turned into a faceless person.

Billy's smiling voice echoed in Roland's heart: ["Little Brother Lance, I observe your character, and you don't seem to be someone who is obsessed with lust. So there's something I can't quite figure out. What are you looking for mermaids for? It's not to study music, is it?"]

Roland pursed his lips and said, "If I say yes, can you spare my life?"
