I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

The nun asked, "What did you just say? Dawn's Light?"

Roland said, "Yes, it should actually be a creation of the ancient forbidden wizards. It's an ancient 'treasure' used to traverse planes and planets. Not a god.

So, the church is treating a spaceship as a god."

Nun: "???"

Roland began to tell her about the Old Testament.

The Old Testament tells how the Dawn Gods came to this world on the radiance of dawn.

Roland believes that the people who wrote the Old Testament and the current translators all have problems.

He suspects that these 'Dawn Gods' are ancient 'forbidden wizards', not Dawn Gods. But they should be related to the Three Gods of Dawn.

Because these 'Dawn Gods' assisted a mortal in healing the madness of the Three Gods of Dawn.

And the methods used by that mortal and this group of 'Dawn Gods' were clearly forbidden arts.

The so-called 'Dawn Gods' should be a group of mortals who understand forbidden magic—forbidden wizards.

And that mortal is very likely also a forbidden wizard. They are all forbidden wizards, colleagues.

As for 'riding the radiance of dawn'... the book describes it as 'looking like an abstract geometric figure formed by seven plates', used to 'commemorate' a high-dimensional being named 'Dawn's Light'.

The translators have interpreted this thing as a god named 'Dawn's Light'.

Because the book describes it as 'omniscient' and 'omnipotent'.

But Roland is very skeptical about this.

Now, seeing this tangram, Roland feels that this thing is a bit like a 'wishing machine'.

Of course, this thing is obviously more advanced than a 'wishing machine'.

But no matter how advanced, it is still a man-made object.

Speaking of this, Roland's expression suddenly stiffened slightly.

His words are a bit too subversive of theology.

The church has actually been worshiping an alien spaceship as a god!

Who can accept that?

As a wizard, Roland can analyze this matter from a clearer perspective.

However, as a believer, even if a believer reads the Old Testament every day, they cannot make such an analysis!

I actually told these things to a believer... She definitely can't accept it, and she will definitely suspect my identity.

But to Roland's surprise, after listening, the nun actually said, "Oh~~ so that's how it is. I didn't expect you to really be a scribe."

She looked Roland up and down again with a strange look, and said, "I always thought you looked familiar. I thought you were a White Chess Wizard."

Roland: "Ah?"

Roland looked back and forth at the mature woman in her thirties in front of him, and asked cautiously, "May I ask your name?"

The woman slightly performed a Black Abyss Academy wizard salute and said, "Amber, you can just call me Amber."

"Amber?"

Roland looked at the mature woman in front of him, and his expression slowly became extremely wonderful.

Amir Kingdom... Rainbow Disease... Crystal Village... Gem Basin...

—The aurora descended like a rainbow, shining in the huge gem city, a thin figure transformed into a divine bird, ringing the rainbow bell.

—"Teacher! Look! My spell is invincible!"

The thin figure covering the Crystal Village with broken canvas, the little girl who resolutely flew into the sky, slowly appeared in front of Roland.

How many years has it been?

How many years has it been?!

Ten years? Twenty years?

It seems like it's been more than thirty years.

So, it's been more than thirty years.

Roland still remembers the scene when he carried that little girl on his back.

At that time, that thin little girl weighed only fifty or sixty pounds.

But now...

Roland glanced at the 'Amber's' chest, which was surging like waves, and then covered his eyes fiercely.

I deserve to die!

I really deserve to die!

I have been looking at my good disciple with such lewd eyes!

What has this child been eating all these years? Such a small girl has grown up like this.

Roland immediately became serious and slowly developed the old and steady temperament of a 'Johnson'.

But he is really too young. The men in this world like to keep beards. Especially the southerners, who have sideburns at the age of seventeen or eighteen. They look like they are in their thirties.

Roland doesn't have a single hair on his mouth. If he says he is a student who just graduated from the seminary, even the doorman of the city hall won't believe it.

So, he looks like a seventeen-year-old boy.

If he goes to the store to buy wine, people will have to ask him to show his ID!

Therefore, Roland's serious appearance seems very funny in Amber's eyes.

Amber had a bit of teasing in her heart. She blinked and asked curiously, "Little brother, what's your name? Who is your teacher?"

The tone in Amber's mouth almost made Roland collapse.

Roland suppressed his anger and scolded sternly: "Rebellious disciple! Take a good look at me... cough, I am a friend of your teacher! Watch your tone!"

Halfway through, Roland changed his words.

It's not that he's afraid of revealing any identity. The people who come to visit this small chapel are probably wizards from the Eastern Territory.

Moreover, Lawrence's setting is that he reincarnated as Roland. The King of Thousand Eyes also used the Orb of Deception to perfect this identity and used the channels of the Hydra Group to create a resume for him as a spy in the Eastern Territory under the identity of 'Roland'.

So, Roland is not worried about revealing his identity.

He mainly feels ashamed!

His student has grown so big, but he is still like a young boy.

Moreover, he was teased by a student...

Roland really can't put down his face to say that he is her teacher.

At this moment, Roland suddenly noticed that Amber was shaking all over.

"A friend of my teacher?"

Roland saw that Amber's eyes were slowly turning red.

Amber didn't look at the 'teacher' over at the chapel. She seemed to have long associated the person in front of her with a certain teacher.

Suddenly, Amber threw herself into Roland's arms.

This scene is so strange.

A mature woman in her thirties threw herself into the arms of someone who could be her son.

The former was still crying like she had seen her long-lost father.

—"Don't talk! Please, don't talk... I know... I know it can't be you... I know it can't be..."

—It turned out that from the moment Roland came in, Amber felt that this person was so much like her teacher.

That's why she specifically came over to chat with Roland.

However, Roland is already dead!

More than twenty years ago, when Catherine put down the Twilight School, he died in the curse of the Twilight Wizard.

This matter was personally confirmed by Catherine, and Roland's tombstone is still standing in the Black Abyss Academy!

Amber clearly remembers how Catherine stood silently at the funeral on that rainy day.

Teacher Roland is dead... dead!

So many people's hearts were broken...

He can't be alive, he appeared here!

So she regarded the person in front of her as someone who looked very, very much like Roland.

It's good to be alike... It's good to be alike... To be able to see her teacher again.

But after chatting for a few words, Amber regretted it. Because this person's every move was too similar.

She suppressed the emotions in her heart several times and didn't dare to ask who this person was. Because she knew that Teacher Roland was dead. If she didn't ask, she might be able to imagine that he was still alive in the south, fantasizing that she had brushed past him.

But if she asked, the bubble would burst.

Roland's sentence 'Rebellious disciple' made Amber unable to hold back any longer. The person in her memory slowly overlapped with the person in front of her... 100% similarity!

A person may not recognize someone they haven't seen in more than thirty years.

But if this person's appearance has not changed at all, and this person is your relative (master), and you were holding his photo a few days ago on his death anniversary and said a lot of things.

How could you not recognize him!

Amber is obviously different from Roland. Roland can't always recognize acquaintances... This is because his acquaintances are always changing.

But time has never left any traces on him.

Even if it did, Amber would not mistake Roland.

She doesn't care whether this person is Roland anymore. They are too similar.

It's like suddenly seeing her dead father. Amber is unwilling to let go no matter what. It's as if if she lets go, this person will turn into a ghost, disappear, and return to heaven.

Roland sighed and gently stroked little Amber's back.

That's right, it's still that little Amber.

More than thirty years have passed, her appearance has changed so much. But it hasn't changed at all. It's just like the little girl back then.

In the eyes of elders, children are always children.

Roland's mood is very complicated. He realized that he is already an elder.

And this mature woman in her thirties in front of him is like his child.

Yes, it's been thirty-two years.

Little Amber is already in her forties this year, almost fifty.

But in Roland's impression, she is still that little dot, still that little follower who pestered him for sugar beans (mermaid fruit).

Roland said, "Why are you hugging me like this? I won't suddenly disappear."

Amber raised her head with tears in her eyes, looked at her big brother teacher, and said, "Teacher, is it really not a saint showing a miracle, nor am I dreaming? Are you still alive?"

Roland: "?"

Roland suddenly remembered something.

Twenty-four years ago, when his senior sent him off on the ship, she asked him for a straw Roland.

Then she took this straw Roland and wandered around the Twilight School's territory.

Catherine originally planned to have the Bloodless Mistress secretly kill it, so as to create the illusion that Roland was killed by a Bloodless Wizard, and to prevent anyone from bothering Roland again because of the 'Holy Blood Statue'.

But later, someone seemed to have cursed and killed the straw Roland first.

I don't know who did it, but it should be the wizards of the Twilight School.

The 'Black Abyss Baron' incident at the Bloodless Fortress caused the Twilight Council to lose face, so Roland at that time had become a public enemy of the Twilight School.

There were too many people who wanted to kill him to save face.

Senior seems to have taken the opportunity to hype it up, and everyone in the Eastern Territory thought Roland was dead.

Roland said: "You're not dreaming, this chapel is very effective.

The God of Dawn heard your prayers, so the Goddess Heraka gave me a vacation. I am now a shepherd in the Netherworld."

As he spoke, Roland stretched out his hand and passed through Amber's body like a ghost: "The reason why my appearance hasn't changed at all is because of this."

The newest novels are all on 69shuba!

Amber was stunned for a moment, then hit him hard and said, "Stop pretending, teacher!

No ghost would believe you!

You must still be alive, I knew it...呜呜呜...I knew the Twilight Wizards couldn't kill you...呜呜呜..."

Roland laughed heartily, making little Amber cry and rejoice at the same time.

She was completely sure that this guy was her bad teacher.

She wiped away her tears, grabbed Roland and asked: "Teacher Catherine has already boarded the ship, were you also released from the Vermick Monastery?

Are you going back with us too?"

Roland said: "Amber, I'm afraid I can't go back with you.

I'm actually a spy from the South sent to the Eastern Territory, and now I've returned to the church.

So I won't be going back to the Eastern Territory.

When you go back, don't say you met me, otherwise the White Queen will know that this spy who seduced her daughter is still alive, and she will definitely send someone to kill me."

Amber said: "Teacher Roland is talking nonsense, Amber doesn't believe it... cough, also, don't talk nonsense, Teacher Catherine is Her Majesty's adopted daughter, not her biological daughter."

As she spoke, she carefully looked at the woman over there.

At this time, the woman who was originally praying quietly in the chapel had gotten up and walked over.

Roland couldn't help but take a few glances at her.

After seeing Katarina back then, Roland had strongly suspected that the White Queen was Catherine's biological mother.

After seeing this woman, he became even more convinced of this.

She looked too much like Catherine.

They were about seventy percent similar, but she was more mature.

Moreover, perhaps influenced by her father's genes, Catherine's appearance was more angular, like a sharp sword.

And she also had some villainous temperament.

But this woman... seems to be influenced by her mother's genes?

She hardly inherited the influence of the Thousand-Eyed King.

She didn't have the 'Saladin' temperament, and her face was very gentle.

At first glance, she was the kind of person who was soft-hearted, but also particularly stubborn.

Moreover, Roland inexplicably felt that her hair, eyebrows, and pupils were very white... obviously brown.

So... this is the White Queen's eldest daughter?

Although she looked like a married woman in her thirties, from the feeling, Roland felt that this woman was definitely much older than Alexandra.

Seeing the woman coming over, Amber quickly stood up straight.

Amber introduced Roland.

Amber asked Roland to call this woman 'Your Excellency Ayr'.

In this White Chess delegation, her card number is 'Ace of Hearts'.

A Roland couldn't help but glance at the woman's robe.

He found that there were many heart embroideries on the robe.

Roland didn't know much about the White Chess School, but he knew that in the White Chess magic cards, A represents the Queen's envoy.

In the absence of special orders, the card A does not exist.

Only when there is a royal order will A be temporarily activated.

Therefore, A is a spokesperson, representing the White Queen.

Roland thought to himself: 'This should be the elder of the White Chess.

The person Catherine asked me about advancement issues before, is it her?'

After the introductions, the woman smiled at Amber and said to Amber: "Roland does have an identity in the church, and strictly speaking, he is indeed not from the Eastern Territory.

Here, you should call him Lawrence.

That 'Lady Isabella' who has a very good relationship with your teacher Catherine is his wife."

As she spoke, the woman looked at Roland: "However, although Sir Lawrence is from the South, we all have a light of dawn in our hearts."

Amber's expression was strange for a while, and she didn't say anything more.

Roland smiled and bowed slightly, saying: "In fact, Lady Ayr.

In this Mind-Stealing Saint Spirit incident, I received the call of the God of Dawn.

I am already preparing to convert."

Lady Ayr said: "Roland, the God of Dawn doesn't care whether anyone is sincere, because faith doesn't represent belief.

True Dawn Wizards do not believe in gods."

Roland's expression was a little wonderful.

Roland had a very strange idea—this high-level member of the White Chess School is a believer of the God of Dawn who does not believe in gods.

He inexplicably felt a kind of 'Forbidden Wizard' flavor from this woman.

Although he had never seen a Forbidden Wizard, he inexplicably had such a feeling.

Lady Ayr said: "Roland, I specifically brought Amber to find you this time."

Roland was slightly stunned.

This woman is a bit neurotic.

It's like a self-proclaimed omniscient 'charlatan', or an ancient witch.

Even though Roland himself didn't know he would come here, she said, I came here specifically to find you.

Roland politely asked: "What do you want to see me for?"

Lady Ayr said: "I want to hear in person your views on the 'Collapsing Law'.

Why do you think we can't fix the collapsing law?"

This was a top secret that Roland brought back from the parallel world, from Coleridge, so only Catherine and a few old Black Abyss members knew about it.

Roland didn't know if Catherine had told this top secret to the White Queen.

But she actually told everything to this high-level member of White Chess.

It seems that this Lady Ayr should be one of Catherine's most trusted people.

So... is she really Catherine's older sister?

Roland briefly communicated with Lady Ayr about the 'Collapsing Law'.

When talking about 'repairing the law, it's the same as not repairing it', Roland made an analogy.

He said: "It's like the mathematical constant π.

Now, someone has modified this constant in our world, causing π in our plane to change.

This leads to a problem:

We have a square pancake in our hands.

A group of very, very small people live on the pancake, called 'microorganisms'.

Now, there is a 'pancake eater', who is a bad person who destroys the law, and is called the 'Pancake Destroyer'.

The pancake eater keeps opening its mouth to eat the corners of the pancake, gradually eating it into a circle.

If someone measures this pancake at this time, they will find that after a lot of area has been eaten away and it has become a circle, its area has not changed at all.

The area and mass of the pancake that has had all its corners eaten away are equal to those of the original square pancake.

Now, the people on the pancake have defeated this pancake eater.

They took out the eaten pancakes from its stomach and glued them back onto the pancake.

The round pancake has increased a lot in area and has become a square pancake.

However, people will find after the second measurement that after it has increased these areas, its area is still the same as the original area."

Roland looked up at Lady Ayr and said: "Our world is now this pancake.

Its area is 10.

You cut off 2 areas, and its area is still 10.

You add those 2 areas back, and it's still 10.

Therefore, the law cannot be repaired."

After Roland finished speaking, he looked at Lady Ayr with a strange expression.

Usually, when he said such crazy things, his senior would scratch his head... only Williams could barely keep up with a little bit of his thoughts.

To Roland's surprise, this Lady Ayr actually understood directly.

Lady Ayr asked: "Then, since whether or not the pancake is repaired, the pancake will not change, why can't the pancake be repaired?

Why, once the pancake is repaired, will the pancake be broken?

I mean, why doesn't the law change whether or not it is repaired, so why might it become an evil law after it is repaired?"

Roland said: "The pancake was indeed broken originally.

But we don't know it's broken.

So it's good.

But once we really know it's broken... it's broken."

Amber looked at Roland with a strange gaze—just like when he was studying the 'Rainbow Theory' back then, the teacher was saying things that normal people couldn't understand again.

Roland's expression was a little embarrassed.

He knew that what he said was difficult for people to understand.

It's like solving a problem.

Normal people solve a problem with a derivation process.

So no matter what the conclusion is, there is a clear logical derivation process.

But Roland is different, he glances at the problem and gives the answer directly.

He skips the derivation process of hundreds of pages.

This creates a problem.

That is, he can't prove whether this answer is right or wrong.

Sometimes, he himself is not sure whether this answer is correct.

Therefore, Roland had been very worried about one question.

That was, would everyone believe it? Would they support his 'Trisolarian Exodus Plan' because of it?

Would they believe the conclusion that 'the Trisolarian Movement is unsolvable'?

Catherine might trust Roland unconditionally, but what about the higher-ups of the Eastern Territory?

If there was no support from the Eastern Territory, how would they proceed with the subsequent matters?

If the Eastern Territory supported them, on a smaller scale, the resources of the Eastern Territory would be somewhat inclined towards them in the upcoming journey to the ruins.

On a larger scale, the entire future policy of the Eastern Territory would change.

But if the Eastern Territory did not support this plan, Roland and Catherine would have to go it alone.

Seeing that Madam Elle had not spoken all this time, Roland added, "Your Excellency, let me make another analogy.

A circle represents the 'normal path' of our world.

A square represents the 'mad path'.

People living in our plane can never discover the problem of π's existence. Therefore, we can still draw circles and still walk a straight path in the 'demented square' world.

But if we suddenly discover that the circles we draw are actually squares, then we can no longer draw circles!"
