I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Roland wanted to ask about the relationship between this flower and the sunflower, but he worried that this was something O'Reilly should know, so he didn't dare to ask.

He could only guess: 'These flowers must have something to do with Olivia. She has a deep connection with the Dracula family, and perhaps also has the responsibility of guarding Heraka.'

Therefore, the Sleepless Tree by the River Angels may not have been planted by Heracles, but rather by the angel who watched over Heracles.

Although there were many plants in the room, it was exceptionally clean.

Roland didn't see Olivia's luggage inside the house, but he did see some of her belongings.

So her luggage should have been packed, and she had cleaned the room before.

The room was a bit too tidy; Roland even felt a little uncomfortable stepping inside.

Roland couldn't help but think of Olivia's long hair—she could manage such long hair so well, she must have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Seemingly noticing Roland's strange expression, Olivia sighed and said, "When I served the Third Holy Mother before, I never understood why Her Majesty Kajelina liked cleaning so much. I was always forced to tidy up the house."

After being imprisoned alone for so many years, I finally began to understand her a little.

Roland thought to himself, 'So Olivia once served the God of Dawn, perhaps as a sword-wielding angel or something like that. So, that's when she and O'Reilly became best friends?'

Roland wanted to ask why Olivia, who was clearly an angel of the sun god, had to serve the god of dawn, but he dared not ask.

However, he had a guess.

He thought to himself, 'My sister, Aurelia, must have been sent to the realm of the gods as an international student by our parents when she was young. So, the gods have also sent us a 'daughter'?'

Roland had a vague feeling that the identity of this 'daughter' of the gods must be quite extraordinary.

He also had another question.

Since Olivia grew up with the Third Mother of Goddess and Aurelia grew up with the gods, how did they meet?

While Roland was still completely baffled, Olivia had already brought over a few books.

Roland knew that Olivia planned to leave after taking the books.

So he quickly pretended to be interested and picked up the books to look through them.

Seeing Roland reading, Olivia didn't urge him to leave. She thought for a moment, then began packing her luggage, intending to take all the items she hadn't originally planned to bring.

As Roland flipped through the book, he began to think about ways to stall for time.

He hadn't been paying attention to the book at first, but after flipping through a few pages, Roland was astonished and began to read it seriously.

After looking at them for a while, Roland asked with a very interesting expression, "Did Count Barr give you these books personally? You asked him for them, and he gave them to you?"

As Olivia packed her things, she said, "It wasn't given to me personally; it was sent by a priest."

Roland frowned and asked, "Is that priest a spy planted here by the Holy Crusade?"

"I really don't know what's wrong?"

Seemingly noticing Roland's unusual mood, Olivia put down what she was holding and walked over.

Roland handed the book to Olivia and said, "Take a look."

After flipping through the pages, Olivia's expression became quite interesting.

This book is not the 'Old Scripture,' but the 'Holy Scripture.'

To be precise, it is a holy book filled with the doctrines of various cults.

Giving this kind of book to the presiding judge of the court is tantamount to telling people that you are a cult member!
The two of them flipped through a few more books together, and then their expressions became quite interesting.

Basically, all the core scriptures, doctrines, and sacred texts of this wicked cult are here.

There are even records of the rituals.

These books not only describe how to perform rituals to summon evil gods, but also record many of the ritual processes.

Among these books, there is even a 'Styx Scroll'—this is a divine artifact!
It could be said that if the Dracula family were to perish, the first thing they would do is destroy all these books to avoid being branded as cultists and remembered with infamy for eternity after the family's demise.

Especially this 'Styx Scroll'—it's a divine artifact entrusted to them by the gods for safekeeping. If the family encounters a crisis, they will immediately throw the book into the River Styx and return it to the goddess.

Instead of handing it over to the people of the Vatican.

Setting down the book in her hand, Olivia said with a solemn expression, "According to some records, they summoned the evil god three months ago."

Roland coughed stiffly and corrected, "To be precise, they summoned Heracles. Not some strange evil god."

Olivia nodded and said, "Indeed, Heracles has arrived."

Roland shook his head.

The two men had different expressions.

Olivia couldn't understand why the Dracula family would entrust these things to her.

She could only explain it by saying that 'the priest was a spy for the Crusades'.

Roland couldn't understand why Dracula had summoned Heracles, but he himself had appeared instead!
Roland thought to himself, "I originally thought that when Count Bar and the others summoned the evil god, they used something like the 'Book of Alaye'."

I always thought that what they wanted to summon was me.

In reality, they weren't using the 'Book of Alaye'. They were using the 'Styx Scroll' to summon Heracles!
Roland couldn't help but have a huge question.

That is, why did the count and his men, even though they had summoned the wrong person, firmly believe that the ritual had succeeded and that the god had arrived?
Roland thought to himself, "There's probably only one possibility: Heracles has also been summoned!"
He made the believers regard me as Lord, and so Count Barr and his men regarded me as Lord!

All the clues seem to have come together!
Previously, Roland had always wondered why the Dracula family was so convinced that they were definitely their masters.

They weren't the foolish followers of the Old Church, their doctrines differed from Marquis's group, and they didn't even know each other. Yet, they firmly believed themselves to be their masters, not some other evil god or anything like that.

It would be reasonable for them to recognize Heracles, but it would be somewhat unreasonable for them to recognize themselves.

After all, he wasn't their god.

Roland thought to himself: 'Back then, when that old charlatan Harland first met me, he displayed his 'false saintly descent'. He must have recognized me then.'

Harland could recognize me as his master at a glance.

Count Barr was also able to recognize Diana as his master at a glance.
Roland suddenly realized a huge problem.

There were more than two people coming!

There are three people!

These three people are: myself, Helena, and Diana!

Roland thought to himself, 'Diana was originally on top of Aurelia. She should be with the Revolutionary Army with Aurelia. Wait, no! No!'

At that moment, Roland suddenly remembered many things.

Many images flashed through his mind, recalling the scene when everyone 'landed' from the spacetime turbulence.

Florence and Brianna ended up in a sacred cathedral, most likely placed there by the wishing machine. The senior student and Anna were placed in the Hall of Sanctuary.

O'Reilly and Joan should be with the Revolutionary Army now.

And here are myself and Helena.

So, what about Diana?

Roland suddenly realized a problem.

Diana was gone the moment she split the nine of them apart!
It seemed that some force, unnoticed by the user, forcibly distorted the power of the wish-granting machine, taking Diana away or, more accurately, forcibly making her disappear.

If there is one mad god in this world who can defy the power of the Foolish Mother's wish-granting machine, then it can only be Heracles.

If the real Heracles has already appeared in this world, then Diana's disappearance can be explained.

Therefore, Heracles the Elder and Heracles the Younger (Diana) have unified and become one.

Roland was struck by a sudden realization, and he exclaimed in his heart: 'After jumping into the well, it wasn't just me and my divine shadow who achieved unification! There was also Diana and her divine shadow!'

When the nine of us came together as one, Diana was not Diana—she always considered herself 'we'.

So at that time, she didn't realize she was Heracles, and therefore, she didn't have any problems.

But after we nine separated, all nine of us came to our senses. And so, Diana, who had thought she was 'us,' rediscovered herself!

But the 'self' she rediscovered wasn't the shepherdess Diana, but the goddess of the underworld, Heracles!

Thinking of this, Roland's face immediately turned very ugly.

“Olélie, things are probably in a bad way.”

Olivia said gravely, "I don't know how she got out. But now it will be difficult to purify the evil within her."

Heracles is like a highly mentally ill person who has been locked up in a mental hospital for treatment, and a very dangerous 'psychopathic serial killer' at that.

Olivia was willing to go with Olivia to release her because she thought Olivia could heal her.

It's okay if it can't be cured. If it can't be cured, then we won't release it for now.

But now that this mentally ill person has escaped, her condition is clearly not better.

After a pause, Olivia looked at Roland and asked, "Olivia, since you planned to release her, have you already checked on her condition? Are you confident you can cure her?"

Roland thought to himself, 'Cure my ass! Experts from the East and Vermeek have already conducted a joint consultation for her, and the old Black Abyss even consulted the White Queen, but everyone is at a loss.'
Even if my sister comes, it'll probably be pointless.
That girl's condition is probably as serious as my mother's; it would probably take my father to cure her.

Roland thought so, but he couldn't say it. Because Olivia had already put him in this predicament.

So Roland threw the question back to Olivia, calmly asking instead of answering, "It's not a big problem, but can you hold her down?"

Olivia nodded and said, "Yes."

Roland: "."

After a pause, Olivia stroked her chin thoughtfully and said, "I sealed Heracles myself, so in theory no one but me should be able to unseal her. I can indeed handle her, but I need the 'Book of Rest'."

Roland secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, 'I knew it. This is the real Mad Goddess, not some cheap imitation like Darlak. If she goes berserk, how could anyone possibly restrain her?'

After thinking for a moment, Roland asked, "Do you know where the Book of Rest is?"

Upon hearing this, Olivia looked at Roland with great confusion and asked, "Of course it's on her! How could you forget that?"

Roland said without changing his expression, "I mean, after she comes out, she might become anyone, you know. Whenever Heraca becomes someone else, she forgets who she is. So she might forget to bring the book with her."

Olivia shook her head and said, "Impossible. Perhaps she will become someone else, or perhaps she will treat that book as another book and then it will become another book."

But she will absolutely carry that book with her at all times. The only time she'll leave it behind is when she enters the River Styx. Because the power of the River Styx will wash away the contents of the book, causing her to lose her memory.

Roland's expression gradually turned strange.

Isn't this the diary I gave to Diana?

If Heracles had a 'diary' like that, perhaps he could really win her over.

Olivia suddenly looked up at Roland: "Have you seen anyone suspicious lately?"

Roland frowned and said, "You mean, you suspect she might have already come to see me?"

Olivia nodded and said, "I have a feeling that she must have come looking for you after you woke up."

For example, a chance encounter in a corridor, or an unexpected meeting—your fates are deeply intertwined; you must have had some close contact with her in the last couple of days.

Roland couldn't help but think of someone, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

However, he said this: "Olivia, I don't agree with you. I don't think she would come looking for me specifically."

Because the person Heracles likes isn't me, but... cough, I mean, she probably doesn't even know who she is right now, let alone like me.

Who knows, after she started seeing herself as someone else, she might have mistakenly believed she liked someone else.

Olivia nodded and said, "That is indeed possible. However, the threads of fate connect you. Even if she believes herself to be someone else, she will unknowingly come to your side under the influence of these threads."

Roland nodded with a grim expression, seemingly agreeing strongly with Olivia's point of view.

Olivia continued, "Think carefully, have you ever met anyone suspicious, someone who might not have even existed in the first place?"

Roland nodded deeply and said, "I know who it is. I'll find a way to steal her book. If I think about it carefully, she might actually have a 'Book of Rest'."

Olivia breathed a huge sigh of relief and said, "Thank God, Olivia, you haven't fallen for her yet!"

It turns out that Olivia already had a suspect, but she was afraid that 'Olivia' might have a problem with her perception, so she didn't say it directly.

She continued, "I've suspected her for a long time!"
You know what? From the first time I saw her in the hallway, I felt something was off about her!
Later, when we were chatting in the Sacred Pool, I learned that you had just returned from the River Styx. At that time, I thought you had already released her!

Roland nodded repeatedly, seemingly agreeing with Olivia's point of view—that man was indeed very suspicious.

Olivia continued, "You know what? I saw her in the Sacred Pool a long time ago."
Later, when I checked my Book of Heaven, I discovered that someone else had already read it.
Only she can break my seal.

Roland nodded, thinking, "Olivia is right. There's so much data in the Book of Heaven, and Helena doesn't have the 'Book of Aleya,' so how did she manage to copy all that data?"

The problem isn't with Helena.

It was Isabella!

After a moment of surprise, Roland suddenly realized that he remembered Helena's name.

He thought to himself, 'Isabella, or rather Diana, Heracla, has been clinging to Helena!'

Roland seemed convinced that Isabella was Heracles. She was indeed very, very suspicious.

Furthermore, if Isabella isn't Heracles, then who is Heracles? (End of Chapter)
