I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

( Crap, I messed up the time order and revised the content, but I can't change the chapter title. This is Chapter 314 )

Roland nodded and checked his snake ring and dimensional bag.

The senior sister's expression stiffened slightly. She had assumed Roland would leave after taking the items, but she didn't expect him to check them in front of her.

Feeling guilty, the senior sister closed her eyes. Then, the wisp of divine sense she had left within Jeanne departed.

Instantly, Jeanne's expression turned unpleasant. "Sister, why did you leave?"

After Roland finished checking, he narrowed his eyes at Jeanne and asked, "Did you two steal something from me?"

Jeanne frantically avoided her brother-in-law's gaze and said, "Who, who took your things? It was my sister. Not me."

Roland chuckled coldly, thinking, 'Still pretending it's not you? Just wait until I deal with you later!'

Roland put away the items and said, "Which room are you staying in? I'll come find you if I need anything later."

Jeanne foolishly told her brother-in-law the room number.

That idiot! If her sister were here, she would never have told Roland the room number. There are plenty of ways to contact them if needed, why have him come to the room?

So, she would definitely make some excuse.

Although the two of them were playing the role of husband and wife, it would be normal for Roland to come over for a secret rendezvous in the middle of the night.

But the two of them weren't married yet! The senior sister was such a conservative person, she naturally didn't want Roland to sleep with her whenever he wanted!

If she had a choice, she wouldn't even want Roland to touch her before they got married.

More importantly, where was this place? This was a monastery!

Messing around in such a sacred place, did they have no shame?!

Roland was clearly not a person who cared about shame. After asking for the room number, he walked away with a smile.

After going outside, a beautiful and gentle nun greeted him.

This nun's habit was different from the nuns in the Holy Spirit Hospital.

The nuns in the hospital dressed a bit like Florence Nightingale, mainly in white robes and white headscarves, without nun's coifs. They looked relatively simple, already somewhat close to modern nurses, except the headscarves were particularly long, usually reaching the shoulders.

This nun was dressed in pure white, very dignified.

She wore a white nun's robe, with a white nun's head covering that wrapped around her shoulders, neck, and long hair. There was also a white headscarf on top, which draped down to the arms, looking very solemn.

On her chest, there was also a V-shaped cross, which looked a bit like a Y and a T, very similar to the kind of rack used to restrain people in the Department of Mysteries.

This V-shaped cross was black, and it stood out very conspicuously on the white robe.

Roland felt that this nun was strangely familiar, and couldn't help but recall Audrey Hepburn in *The Nun's Story*.

After the nun came over, she greeted Roland with a smile: "Mr. Lawrence, where are you planning to go next?"

Roland didn't know where he had seen her before, and smiled a little awkwardly. He said, "I'm going to check the literature."

The nun looked at Roland, blinked, and asked, "Mr. Lawrence? You haven't forgotten my name again, have you?"

Suddenly, Roland was stunned, and then he remembered who this was.

No wonder she looked familiar.

He had seen her in the morning - this was Miss Florence, the head nurse.

These nuns were wrapped up too tightly. If you only met them once, it was difficult to distinguish who was who.

But even though Miss Florence wrapped herself up so tightly, she was still very beautiful - an impressively beautiful and gentle woman.

Roland thought that she must have changed her clothes, so he didn't recognize her.

Miss Florence patiently introduced herself again, and Roland was very embarrassed. He knew that Florence thought he had amnesia.

Miss Florence said that she was sent by Dean Williams (Archbishop), and she had been waiting for Roland here for a while.

After chatting for a while, Roland learned that Miss Florence was actually the 'Grand Deacon' of the monastery, with a very high status, considered a member of the management, or Williams' secretary-general and secretary.

At the same time, she was also Williams' student.

Recently, the affairs of the Holy Spirit Hospital had become a bit of a mess, so she was chosen by the dean to work the night shift at the Holy Spirit Hospital to keep things in order.

She now did two jobs a day, working as a head nurse at night and working as a deacon in the afternoon after a nap.

Now, Lord Williams had put down her work as a deacon and asked her to fully cooperate with Roland's investigation work in the name of taking care of seriously ill patients.

On the one hand, Williams considered that Miss Florence had been too tired recently and couldn't hold on any longer. So he changed her to an easier job.

On the other hand, Williams believed that Roland was the Holy Son, so after hearing about the six things and that they had come to Roland again this morning, he was a little worried. So he specially assigned Roland a big bodyguard.

Nun Florence was very strong, no weaker than Dagmar. In addition, this was the territory of the Goddess of Dawn, with home-field advantage. So she was definitely a big bodyguard.

Although 1V6 was impossible, as a big nanny, and with home-field advantage, she had some special means to 'protect' Roland if she encountered trouble.

She was Williams' confidant, and had heard some things from Williams when she came, and also regarded Roland as the Holy Son.

Roland estimated that this Florence probably knew divine skills like 'Heavenly Protection'. After putting on an invincible shield, and with his logical lock, the two of them would have a chance if they ran to a crowded place.

Roland couldn't help but feel relieved. If he advanced, and there was another big nanny like this in the team, then there would be a chance to deal with those six lunatics.

Of course, it was still better to be cowardly now.

After hearing that Roland wanted to consult the literature, Florence mentioned several places.

After asking, Roland found that there was a place in the monastery called the 'Scripture Copying Hall' that might have what he wanted, so he said he would go take a look.

Florence didn't ask any more questions and directly led the way.

On the way, the two talked about Roland's treatment plan, and Miss Florence couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that Roland had chosen the radical cure.

She comforted Roland and told him not to worry. Then, at the end, she said the mantra 'God loves the world, and we love you too'.

After a pause, before Roland could say anything, Miss Florence suddenly stopped and said very seriously, "Mr. Lawrence, the Dawn Sect is inherited from the Old Church and is relatively conservative. The nuns and monks of the monastery have all made the 'Three Absolute Vows'."

The Three Absolute Vows were basically the same as the rules for Buddhist nuns after tonsure.

Roland had flirted with Nun Florence in the morning, so Nun Florence specifically used the 'Three Absolute Vows' to remind Roland.

However, this wasn't her being presumptuous.

Rather, as a nun, she had to express her attitude as soon as possible - even if the other person didn't mean it, she had to reject it.

Of course, the main reason was that Nun Florence was too outstanding, and she had encountered too many similar things.

Before, there was even a Grand Inquisitor who proposed to her in public!

Florence had read a lot about this Mr. Roland's resume. How to describe this person? His reputation was really bad.

He was just like those Holy Sons!

Therefore, Nun Florence was worried that Roland would have that kind of tendency, and was afraid that he would do something outrageous next, so she expressed her attitude in advance.

"Three Absolute Vows?"

Roland blinked. Before going ashore, he had crammed on the Church's things, and had seen 'Three Absolute Vows' in the Three-Headed Snake's study.

The Three Absolute Vows referred to renouncing wealth, renouncing lust, and renouncing will.

Renouncing wealth was also called the vow of divine poverty, meaning that monks would not have private property after tonsure.

Renouncing lust referred to the vow of chastity - monks would remain virgins.

Renouncing will was the vow of obedience, strictly obeying any will of God, the Church, and superiors.

Roland said, "I know, different sects have different rules. For example, pastors can marry and have private property, but priests cannot. Holy knights can have families, careers, and even lovers, but clerics cannot."

Saying that, Roland looked at Nun Florence with a smile and asked, "Mother Florence, have you ever considered leaving the monastery in the future and becoming a pastor or holy knight?"

Nun Florence's expression changed slightly, and she said sternly, "Sir Lawrence, you are a married man! You are going too far."

Roland was stunned and said, "Mother Florence, I'm just discussing future plans with you, are you misunderstanding something?

Oh, I understand.

You said to me this morning, God loves the world, and the nuns also love the world, and I actually mean the same thing. My expression to you is a kind of universal love, a kind of gratitude."

After a pause, Roland looked at Nun Florence and said, "I love you, and you love me is the same. Mother Florence, you are attached to appearances."

After hearing this, Nun Florence was stunned, and then admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lawrence, I am attached to appearances."

Roland couldn't help but blink, revealing a look of astonishment.

He thought to himself: 'This mother is really interesting, she's really pure.'

This damn thing is just teasing the nun!

He started teasing a 'nun' outside not long after separating from his wife!

In the past, when he often used Little Roland, he always put the blame on Little Roland's head.

In fact, the blame was his!

He just used the excuse of the straw body to do those bad things that he was usually too embarrassed to do.

While chatting, the two had unknowingly arrived at the Scripture Repository.

Here, there were many books, many scrolls, and even many paintings.

It seemed that the word 'Scripture' here didn't just refer to 'text'.

Many monks were busy here.

Some were copying scriptures at writing desks, backing up those ancient texts to prevent ambiguity in their content after they were damaged.

Some were restoring ancient books. Some were airing out scrolls and books. Others were maintaining various artistic treasures of the church.

Roland saw that some people were holding rhombus-shaped crystals.

Roland had seen this kind of thing in the storage bags of the Three-Headed Snakes. Its function was somewhat similar to the crystal balls commonly used by wizards.

However, they were more inclined towards 'recording'. Their abilities in remote viewing and divination were weaker.

Remote viewing, divination, perception, insight... these were all things that wizards were more skilled at.

There were many such 'libraries' in the monastery. But the security level of this Scripture Repository was a bit high. Therefore, most of the people staying here were from the monastery.

Individuals who came to browse the scriptures had to be approved by the monastery's Abbot 'Williams'. And these people were mostly upper-level figures within the church, such as bishops.

Roland obviously hadn't applied for anything, but as an investigator, it was perfectly reasonable to consult some literature.

So, Sister Florence didn't seem to ask at all and directly led him in.

Roland didn't say much either and directly began searching for what he wanted to see.

Soon, he found information about the Dawn Sect's 'Path of Faith' and the 'Vermick Sanctuary Cultivation Records'.

There were a great many of these two types of documents.

The situation was very smooth. Roland couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, but what made him feel a little worried was that Miss Florence was always guarding him.

As an investigator, it was reasonable for him to come and consult materials, but to immediately browse through their profound mysteries...

Roland planned to pretend for a bit and then secretly come back at night.

So, after flipping through various scriptures, he pretended and said, "I suspect that those Holy Spirits may be related to some mythological stories. It seems there's nothing I want here."

Sister Florence thought for a moment and said, "Please come with me."

Roland sighed inwardly, 'It seems I'll have to spend this afternoon in mythological stories.'

The matter of advancing was already quite urgent. Delaying the advancement by one day meant one more day of danger. So, Roland felt a little anxious.

Sister Florence led Roland towards the deepest part of the Scripture Repository. After the two passed through rows of bookshelves and arrived at the end of the Scripture Repository, there was a small doorway in the wall.

The doorway had a wooden door. This wooden door seemed ordinary, but it had 'Holy Runes' on it, making it difficult to destroy.

In addition, there was also a small hole on the door that could be used to peek through.

And in front of the door, there were actually two 'Dawn Sanctuary Knights' guarding it.

These two Sanctuary Knights were fully armed, and their strength was not much different from the 'Female Demon of Bleak Blood Fort'. They stood there quietly, like statues.

Upon closer inspection, Roland noticed that their shadows were a bit special. His pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly—they were actually angels.

Seeing that it was 'High Deacon Florence' personally bringing someone over, the two Sanctuary Knights saluted with their hands on their chests and stepped aside.

Afterward, Florence took out a bunch of keys and opened the small hole on the door.

Looking through the small hole, it seemed to be a small corridor separated by iron bars.

Florence knocked on the iron bars and called inside, "Brother Alfonsus, are you on duty this week?"

Before long, a burst of footsteps came from inside. Then, a bald old monk poked his head out from the doorway.

The old monk asked, "Madam Florence, do you want to consult the 'Celestial Codex'?"

"Yes," Florence took out a document stamped with Williams' 'Sigil Emblem (Ring)' and handed it to the old monk.

After the old monk took the document, he said, "Please wait a moment," and left.

A moment later, the door inside opened, and Roland followed Florence and the monk with a strange expression through the corridor to a hall that wasn't too big or too small.

The size was about sixty or seventy square meters, similar to the dining room where the lord's family ate in the castle.

On the dome and walls of this small hall, there were many murals. At the innermost part, there were three statues of the Goddess of Dawn.

There was a long table in the center of the hall. Including 'Brother Alfonsus', there were three scribes in the hall.

On both sides of the hall, there were several recessed small rooms. The small rooms didn't have doors, but they were separated by iron bars with 'Holy Texts'.

The books were placed in these recessed small rooms.

In addition, there were several small rooms in this hall, which seemed to be for the three scribes to sleep and wash up.

It seemed that every time the scribes came, they had to stay here for a week before going out. The frequency of changing people was not high.

The three people supervised each other to prevent anyone from taking out things that should not be taken out.

Standing in this small hall, Roland was stunned for a long time.

The level of secrecy here seemed to be unusually high.

Especially the three goddess statues, which were obviously very ancient antiques. They were probably thousands of years old.

After Florence came in, she knelt in front of the goddess statues and prayed.

Roland also hurriedly followed suit and knelt in front of the statues of the Goddess of Dawn.

He quietly observed the goddess statues.

These three statues were very strange. One looked like a cleaner sweeping the room, one looked like a female knight wiping a sword, and one looked like a gardener taking care of a flower garden.

After observing for a while, Roland didn't dare to look anymore.

Because he found that a kind of kinship had inexplicably arisen in his heart... It was like seeing a mother who had been separated for many years.

Roland thought to himself, 'Old Johnson was right. This group of clerics in the church has some tricks. I must never be fooled by seeing the holy objects and not even recognize my own mother!'

Fortunately, Florence didn't intend to fool him. After she finished praying, she asked the three scribes to open all the doors and let Roland browse.

To be honest, Roland was a little confused now. He didn't know why Florence brought the monastery's top-secret documents for him to see.

But since she let him see... then he'd see.

While Roland was searching for things in the small alcoves, he thought to himself, 'It seems that the status of this angel 'Lawrence' is not ordinary... Prince of the Holy Tadar Empire? Hiss, could this Holy Tadar Empire refer to a certain heaven?

Could this Lawrence be a holy son?'

Roland was greatly shocked.

While secretly shocked, Roland had already flipped through everything here—there were only a few dozen documents in total!

Among them, more than half were 'scrolls'.

So, Roland spent half an hour flipping through everything.

Among these dozens of documents, more than half were mythological historical documents. There were only a few about the mysteries.

Half of them were for priests, and half were for holy knights.

Moreover, these documents were scrolls, and the content was very small—the longer ones had just over two thousand words.

The shorter ones had only a few hundred words!

And the number of words in those historical documents was even more exaggerated. Among them, there was a small stone tablet with only a dozen words in total!

But these dozen words wrote an essay.
