I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

The elder sister seemed slightly stunned for a moment—it did seem that way. Damn it, this reason won't convince Roland!

Roland said in his heart: ["I think we should use the wings trick. The combined strength of the three of us should be no weaker than that banshee. Even if we can't beat her, it doesn't matter. Once they confirm your identity, they won't..."]

Before he could finish speaking, the elder sister shouted angrily in Roland's mind: ["Bullshit! If my identity is exposed, we'll all be going to the altar together!

Roland, I'll say it one last time!

If my identity is exposed, don't blame me for exposing yours!"]

Roland asked in astonishment: ["What identity of mine?"]

The elder sister laughed: ["Of course, the reincarnated Evil God, hehe. The words you used to deceive Fachii before perfectly match the insane logic of those lunatics. The cultists will definitely believe it.

If the Evil God has descended, then the cultists can all offer sacrifices together to help him ascend. Who I am will naturally be irrelevant."]

Roland's face became extremely unsightly.

The elder sister obviously didn't think that her good-for-nothing son-in-law husband was some terrifying Evil God.

Otherwise, if he were to ascend, wouldn't we all be finished?

But the problem is, Roland really is.

Roland said in his heart: ["Let's not joke around, elder sister. What's your plan?"]

The elder sister said: ["Don't make a sound anymore, that woman is looking over here... Remember, unless I contact you first, don't contact me!"]

Roland raised his head and found that Fachii, not far away, was indeed looking this way.

He thought to himself: "This woman is paying attention to me at all times. I wonder if she overheard my conversation with the elder sister just now."

Fachii swam over and said to the few Naga sea witches beside Roland and the two sisters: "Paca, go get the geological report here. Let these people be busy here, we'll take a stroll."

A Naga sea witch went to the crowd near the entrance of the ruins to give instructions, and then took some crystals containing recorded information from the hands of a Naga.

Afterwards, Fachii took out a small sea clam from the conch on her waist, she chanted a magic spell, and then the sea clam gradually became as big as a house.

Roland's eyes moved slightly, and he thought: 'It seems to be a flying wonder, I wonder if it's fast.'

Many Nagas escorted Roland and the three of them onto the giant sea clam. Fachii and several Naga sea witches were all sitting cross-legged on the soft flesh pad of the giant sea clam, looking like a giant python and a group of small snakes.

Roland and the three of them stood among the many Nagas, with snake tails swimming everywhere around their legs.

The sea clam slowly closed its lid, but it was shimmering with fluorescent light inside, not dark at all.

Roland secretly marveled, feeling like he was riding on a flying saucer.

Roland thought: 'It can even close the lid. Judging from the streamlined appearance, it shouldn't be slow when it flies at full speed.'

At this moment, Fachii pointed at the lid above her head, and then the sea clam shell above her head slowly became transparent.

Roland curiously looked outside, and then revealed a very wonderful expression.

This is actually the clouds!

It seemed that just in that blink of an eye, the giant sea clam had silently flown here.

The speed was not only terrifyingly fast, but Roland didn't feel any inertia!

Roland looked at Fachii in shock and asked: "What is this black technology? Where did you get this thing from?"

Fachii snorted and said: "Ignorant humans. The children of the sea are born to 'fly'. There's no need to learn from any ancient forbidden techniques."

Fachii understood the word 'dark technology' in Roland's mouth as ancient forbidden technology. It wasn't a wrong understanding.

Roland was shocked. He thought: 'Has the magic technology of the Hydra reached this level?'

He carefully observed the inside of the sea clam, and then he suddenly understood.

He thought: 'I overestimated them. The resources in the sea are extremely abundant, so although they don't have very good alchemy technology, they have countless natural treasures.

This sea clam seems to be tens of thousands of years old, and faintly has divinity. Before it was alchemized, it was probably about to ignite the divine fire.

However, although this sea clam is a demigod's treasure, the Alchemy Little Dragon is a true god's Holy Grail, and it's the kind of treasure that can create gods.

If I could know how to make the Alchemy Little Dragon gather the power of faith, it would definitely be more powerful than this thing.'

The sea clam slowly flew aimlessly in the air, Fachii was reading the crystals in her hand with her mind, wondering what she was thinking about.

The surrounding Nagas chatted.

—"Our things seem to be particularly smooth when used in this garden. If it were normal, your shell could only fly this fast in the deep sea... No, the speed here seems to be even faster."

—"It's not just our things, since I came in, I have always felt the call of the deep sea. It's like standing in the arms of the Sea God. I feel like I can fight ten cultists now!"

—"Shh, don't talk nonsense. We are people of the Old Religion."

The sea demons chatted about other things.

Roland sighed secretly: 'I almost forgot, these people also have a buff bonus in the ruins, and it may be even stronger.

Moreover, this banshee has a lot of treasures in her hands.

If the three of us, the elder sister and I, don't have anything, I'm afraid we can't beat her.'

Roland didn't even have a magic wand on him now.

He looked at 'Catherine and Anna' beside him and found that they were the same.

Just as Roland was thinking about how to escape from the hands of these cultists, he suddenly heard a Naga say.

"Master, are you going to fly to the teleportation point? It's still too early, that guy shouldn't have started fighting with that monster yet."

Roland's eyes moved slightly.

Fachii nodded, she put down the crystal and looked at Roland: "Can you make your magic spell lock more complicated?"

Roland shook his head and lied: "Your Highness, you think too highly of me. I'm just a small second-tier wizard, no matter how clever my methods are, I can't compare to a demigod.

Besides, the Great Prophet's understanding of magic in the Eastern Territory is probably more in-depth than mine... However, I have a way to destroy this place and kill the Great Prophet and those cultists among you."

Fachii said: "You and your fiancée are really the same, as long as you catch an opportunity, you don't forget to bewitch people.

Stop dreaming, brat.

This garden is far more valuable than the Great Prophet."

Fachii threw the crystal in her hand to Roland.

Roland curiously checked it and found that it recorded a magic map. Moreover, this map was slowly expanding. It seemed that a group of Nagas were exploring here, and they were synchronizing the information they explored to this crystal in real time.

After watching the map for a while, Roland's pupils suddenly shrank.

The map recorded a lot of geological information, and there were three rare mineral veins and multiple ordinary mineral veins marked in the area within a few dozen kilometers around.

And most of them are open-pit rich mines!

Fachii said: "Boy, this world has been a large pasture since ancient times.

It was okay in the age of the gods, the mortals of that era didn't understand technology and didn't consume resources much. The consumption of resources was limited to those 'rare' gods.

Their vision was high, and they used 'less'. After the resources were developed, most of them were piled up in their own divine palaces to gather dust.

But the Forbidden Era is different.

People all over the world are consuming resources.

That is a very large number.

Therefore, in ancient times, the resources on land, sea, and even the moon had been almost developed.

Now, with the rise of the new wizards, the resources that can be developed on land and 'shallow sea' are almost exhausted.

Magic ore veins, which are needed for alchemical creations such as magic stones, are almost hollowed out.

Judging from the documents in your fiancée's hands, the output of Philosopher's Stones on your land is less than 100 carats per year.

That is to say, there are only a few pieces a year!

Compared to magic ore, other rarer substances only have a few grams or even milligrams per year!

You are now making high-level items, all relying on archaeology and recycling—to put it bluntly, you are living by picking up garbage!

And in the 'plateau' that we can set foot on, there are no such resources anymore.

Unless it's the deeper seabed.

The real seabed.

But no one can build a mine in such a deep seabed.

This garden has everything!

This is the deepest part of the sea!

We have everything here. We don't have it, but it's also here.

And they are all rich mines!"

Roland nodded deeply.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Issue!

He thought to himself: 'To make an analogy, it is that the world's oil, nuclear energy, and other materials can no longer be found on land.

It is very, very difficult for civilization to enter the next stage.

The things here can indeed support the entire civilization to continue moving forward for a while.

Not to mention anything else, the 'nuclear fuel' in the Great Flame River in the sky is enough.'

Roland said: "I thought you were nomadic tribes without technology but with resources. You are indeed nomadic tribes, but I didn't expect that your resources are also running out.

The ancients really did a great job.

They only left us with a fragmented wasteland world."

Faki said, "The ancient ancestors of that year almost drained the sea in order to leave this world."

Although this analogy is a bit exaggerated, judging from many ruins, there seemed to be a behemoth in the ancient forbidden era, and its food intake was very terrifying.

Even if the consumption of the gods is added together, it is not even a drop in the bucket compared to it."

Roland said, "That's called the magic industry of the entire civilization. Its food intake is indeed an astronomical figure.

Even if the gods were to be miners, they couldn't afford its consumption.

All He can do is create such a garden, and then let countless believers come to work."

Faki looked at the red clouds in the sky and said, "There are even resources from the earth's core here.

Everything here is readily available.

In addition to these rare substances, this is also an abyss magic potion garden with countless animals and plants!

Archaeology, development... These are all long-term tasks.

We will never destroy this place. This place requires a lot of investment, as well as a large archaeological team and construction team."

Roland suddenly understood, and he said, "You plan to occupy the entire ruins? I mean, you plan to swallow the entire great ruins?"

Faki said proudly, "The bedroom of the goddess Olary was originally managed by our Old Church for the gods. Now it should be the same.

Even if the Sea God fails, this ruin should be in our charge, not the New Church!"

Roland chuckled and said, "What a big appetite. It's a pity, even if I give it to you, you don't have the technology... I'm very curious, what's the use of you getting these resources?

With your alchemy technology, you can't even refine the most basic magic gems, right?

To put it bluntly, your magic technology is not much stronger than this garden kingdom!

If there is no God to help, you, like them, can only stare blankly at these rich resources.

And your God will never want you to develop any technology like Olary, so what's the use of you occupying this place?"

Faki sneered, "We are indeed like that kingdom in the garden, a group of primitives relying on the gods.

We really don't understand anything.

But it's enough for our slaves to understand."

It took Roland a long time to react to the meaning of this sentence.

Faki meant that they would enslave the wizards of the Eastern Territory in the future.

He cursed inwardly: 'You stinky woman, your Sea God has never been on the table for dinner in his life. He is a loser!

Following Him, if you can win, I'll be your dog!'

Faki said, "Boy, I know you very much hope that the Great Prophet will die, and you would rather consider cooperating with us than cooperating with the Old Church.

But perhaps you don't want to believe it, but the fact is that even if you win in the future, you, like us, need the existence of the Old Church!

It's just that you unbelievers will be in a dominant position in the cooperation with the Old Church.

So, you are stronger than us. You can create an Old Church that you want.

Unlike us, being controlled by them."

Roland said, "You mean, the King of Thousand Eyes is also considering cooperating with the Old Church?

Impossible!

This cult must be exterminated! Not a single person can be left!

My father-in-law wouldn't be so stupid!"

Seeing Roland so broken, Faki smiled very happily.

After a while, she put away her smile and said coldly, "Stinky boy, don't play tricks on me. Catherine and the avatar of the King of Thousand Eyes have long fallen into our hands.

In the blessing of the Sea God, they have already converted. They have already said everything.

So, I know your 'answering machine'!

Decryption is far more complicated than encryption. Even the wizards of the Black Abyss cannot crack the magic spell lock you made in a short time!

I don't need to trap these cultists for too long, sealing them for a few days is enough."

Faki turned to look at Roland and continued, "To be honest, we need people from the Old Church to help us divert the attention of the Holy See later.

According to the progress of the plan, they must not go out these days.

I can promise you that if you can lead us into the last door later, we will not only spare your life, but also return your things to you.

We will even help you leave this world in the future.

This is in line with our interests."

Roland thought to himself: 'The Naga have no credibility at all. If we really do this, everything will be over.'
