I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

After thinking for a moment, Olivia seemed to understand the situation.

She thought to herself, "This letter must have been sent by a messenger while Heracles was still in the River Styx. Its purpose is to inform Aurelie that she is ready to come out."

But that madwoman, while sending the messenger, secretly kept the messenger hidden in her Book of Rest, preventing him from leaving.
The little messenger could run out of the Book of Rest, but she loves her mother and wants to play with her, so she hasn't gone out yet.

Therefore, the letter was not delivered until after she had already met with O'Reilly.

I don't know how Olivia managed to guess everything that had happened between Heracles and Leona during this period!
She not only guessed that Leona had been held captive by Heracles all this time, but she also guessed that Heracles had been playing with Leona!
"Liar! You liar!"
You've always known Heracles was by your side. Yet you've been lying to me.
I told you I would help you release her, but you were afraid I would find out she was no longer sealed, so you lied and said you wanted to go back to heaven with me.
Why am I so devoted to you? What do I lack compared to her?!
Just because she gave you a daughter?!

Olivia glanced at Leona, who was fast asleep on the page, a flash of murderous intent crossing her eyes.

Seemingly sensing the murderous aura, Leona woke up with a start.

She rubbed her eyes, looked at the person in front of her, then opened her arms and affectionately called out a divine word.

"Mommy~~~"

That one word, "Mom," brought Olivia to tears.

Even though she knew perfectly well that this was her 'rival's' daughter, at this moment, Olivia felt an inexplicable surge of maternal love.

Looking at the innocent little girl who affectionately called her "Mommy," Olivia couldn't help but shed tears.

She said, "What's wrong with me?"

Olivia wiped away her tears and remained stunned for a long time. It wasn't until Leona ran up to her shoulder and hugged her cheek that Olivia gradually came back to her senses.

She felt her headache returning.

She rubbed her forehead, feeling as if her memories were becoming muddled.

'I climbed down from the River Styx to the human world. Over the years, I've drunk far too much of its water. Oh, and my memories... my memories are all in the books!'

Dizzy and disoriented, Olivia slowly began to turn the pages of her 'Book of Paradise'. As she continued to read, Olivia's confused eyes gradually cleared again.

Closing the book, Olivia looked at Leona, who was asleep on her shoulder. Her gaze gradually became complicated, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Olivia muttered to herself, "Good child, it's not you who's wrong, nor is it Olivia, it's that crazy woman."
You are O'Reilly's child, so you are mine too. I will treat you well from now on.

Olivia turned to a page with a beautiful illustration of a forest, a river, a stage, and many dolls, and then placed Leona on that page.

When Leona touched the illustration, she was completely absorbed in it.

If Roland were here, he would be shocked to find a very familiar towering tree in the forest depicted in this illustration.

The tree resembled both a banyan tree and coral.

Within Olivia's 'Book of Paradise,' lies a world sealed away!
And this world is the final world with the coral tree!

Olivia put away her book and looked out the window.

Her gaze fell upon the pedestrian bridge. There, a tall, handsome man was walking towards the tower opposite in the wind and snow.

Olivia decided to give 'Olérie' another chance.

As long as 'Olélie' is willing to obediently return to the Holy See and Heaven with him, he can pretend he knows nothing.

But if he tries to escape tonight, he can't blame me for using force!
At this time, there was a knock on the door.

After Olivia opened the door, she found a priestess.

The priestess's attire was different from that of the priests of the River Angels diocese; it was typical church clothing.

She appears to be from the Crusades!
The priestess seemed surprised that Olivia was actually in the room, and she was very excited when she saw her.

"Thank God, a servant said he saw you, I never thought you would actually come out!"

Olivia said calmly, "It has indeed taken a while. So, Maria, have all our people entered the city?"

Upon hearing this, the priestess burst into tears.

She cried, “My lord! We’ve lost! We’ve lost! Waaah! In the chaos, I fled to Grey Falcon City with Sir Richard and the others.”

After learning of the Crusader army's crushing defeat, the Earl personally led reinforcements, but they too were defeated.
Now Grey Falcon City is about to fall, and the nobles are all shouting for surrender.

The rebel leaders are coming for a meeting tomorrow. Richard was supposed to speak with them on behalf of the church, but they specifically asked to see you, sob sob sob.”

Olivia's expression changed drastically. She pushed the priest away and walked towards Count Bal's residential area, with the priestess wiping away her tears as she followed.

"Useless! I was only gone for three months, and you guys got beaten up like this by a bunch of farmers! Can't you do without me? Where are those two idiots, Richard and Barr?!"

As the priestess followed Olivia, she said, "They should be discussing this in the study. I'll take you there, sir. You don't know, but they've somehow acquired 'holy servants,' and there seem to be some strange things with them too. They might be 'forbidden angels' that the wizards used in ancient times to deal with the gods."

the other side.
The snow was falling heavily, but the snow accumulation on the overpass was not thick.

Roland believed that he and Olivia had spent at least a day, perhaps even a day and a half, in the Sacred Pool. Logically, after such a long snowfall, the overpass should have been completely blocked. Yet, the snow was only ankle-deep.

It looks like someone has swept the snow and shoveled the ice.

The wind and snow along the Angel River were exceptionally cold; even Roland felt the cold.

Would the servants brave the heavy snow to sweep snow and shovel ice?

Something feels off.

Gathering his jumbled thoughts, Roland entered the tower with a troubled expression and climbed the spiral stone staircase.

On snowy days, everyone in the castle stays indoors and doesn't want to come out, and the corridors are quiet.

Compared to when Roland had just woken up, the corridor was much cleaner. Even the carpet looked like it had been cleaned and aired with tea leaves.

Upon entering the tower, Roland vaguely sensed Helena's presence.

Helena must have sensed Roland's presence as well.

Roland could sense that Helena was tidying something up in his room.

Roland thought to himself, 'This girl, she's even tidying up my room for no reason. Hmm, she's probably packing my bags, planning to run away with me? Sigh, it seems we're not going to be leaving today.'

Roland quickened his pace and arrived at his bedroom door. He pushed the door, but it was locked.

--"Wait a moment!"

Roland waited at the door for a full five minutes before Helena opened it.

Her face was flushed, and there was still some steam in the room. Puzzled, Roland entered the room and discovered that there was a large bathtub with water boiling inside.

It looks like Helena was just taking off her clothes inside the house to prepare for a shower.

Seeing Helena close the door, Roland said speechlessly, "Helena, what are you doing taking a shower in my room?"

Helena blushed slightly and changed the subject, saying, "Senior, why are you only coming back now? Everyone was so worried! If the priests guarding the gate hadn't confirmed that you hadn't come out, we would have thought that woman had kidnapped you!"

Roland knew he had been inside for too long, and feeling a bit guilty, he lied and said, "Didn't you say you couldn't handle it and asked me to stall for a while longer?"

After much thought, I realized that the only way to fix the issue of my soul needing protection was through meditation, so I left Olivia at the sacred pool. You know, I lose all sense of time when I meditate, so I did stay there a bit too long.”

Helena exclaimed with sudden realization, "No wonder I stayed for more than three months."

Roland paused slightly, then asked, "How long?"

Helena blinked and said, "More than three months."

Roland was dumbfounded.

He was quite certain that he and Olivia had only fooled around for a day and a night at most. At that moment, Roland suddenly remembered the dream.

Roland had always known that when he meditated, he could sit for a very long time. The reason for this was that he had glimpsed the deeper world through meditation.

But that dream wasn't just about glimpsing the underworld. He entered the underworld.

Roland muttered, "No wonder my body recovered so perfectly; I had entered the lower world."

Helena continued, "But speaking of which, senior, it's fortunate that you've been working on it for so long. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to handle that book."

You have no idea? It's so complicated!

Teacher Merlin and Uncle Bal were worried that you might suddenly appear, but they also had to figure out how to break Olivia's restriction. Eventually, everyone became numb and simply moved the entire laboratory over and let go of the problem!

"Wow, you have no idea how lively it was back then!"

Roland asked, completely bewildered, "What did you say? Master Merlin and Earl Bal? They went to help too?"

Helena said helplessly, "I've been trying to figure this out for two or three days, but I still don't have a clue. I really can't handle it by myself, so I guess I have to ask someone for help."

At first, I only found Professor Merlin.

Then I thought, since we've already asked for help, why not call everyone over? I originally thought Count Barr wouldn't come, given how urgent the battle is.

But he seemed more interested in Olivia's Book of Paradise.

At this point, Helena looked at Roland with a strange expression.

"Senior, some very important books that Count Bart and his group collected have been stolen by Ovilia. Those books seem to be very important, even more important than the entire city of Grey Falcon."

Therefore, the Count was very curious to know whether the contents of those books were recorded in Olivia's Book of Paradise.

Roland frowned and said, "I did see some books at Olivia's place."

But Olivia told me that a priest gave it to her, and that priest might be a spy.

Helena's eyes lit up, and she said, "That's probably it! Because the book was lost half a year ago, before Olivia arrived. She couldn't have stayed here for half a year, could she?"

Roland nodded and said, "Indeed, and she came from Heaven. Half a year ago, she was probably still in the Vatican. Go on. How did you break the seal on the Book of Heaven?"

Helena said, "You have no idea, it was really difficult!"
We've been working on this for about a month, with Count Barr coming over seven or eight times a day to check on the project and urge its progress.”

Upon hearing this, Roland couldn't help but complain, "You mean you turned the locker room into a laboratory? You've treated the Book of Heaven as a project, conducting experiments on it in a big way?"

Helena said speechlessly, "What else can we do? You're trapped inside by Olivia. I'm thinking we might end up having a falling out."

So I called everyone over.

That way, if you accidentally crash inside, everyone can rush in to rescue you. There were over three hundred people around the Sacred Pool back then; with so many people, they should have been able to hold Olivia down.

Roland's expression became quite splendid.

It has to be said that Helena is really bold and meticulous. She made a very outrageous and crazy move, but it was the most suitable way to break the deadlock in that situation.

Roland asked with a strange expression, "So, you didn't handle the Book of Heaven all by yourself?"

Helena pointed to her nose and said, "Me alone? Senior, you think too highly of me!"
Over a thousand people came and went throughout the entire project; I was, at best, just a project manager who answered phone calls!

After a moment of stunned silence, Roland asked, "There aren't that many tech-savvy people in Grey Falcon City, are there? You mean, our people were involved too?"

Helena said, "Of course! However, Count Barr is unaware of this."

After the snow stopped, news of the Crusaders' annihilation by the Revolutionary Army reached the city, and Count Bal and the nobles lost interest in what was happening there.

When I looked around, I realized there were no outsiders watching our project anymore, just me and the lab staff. So I simply pulled Merlin and the others together and held a remote meeting with our Wizarding Council.”

Roland raised his hand to interrupt: "--Wait a minute! What did you just say? The Crusaders were annihilated by the Revolutionary Army?! Did I hear that right?"

Helena rolled her eyes and said, "Senior, that happened two months ago. Gray Falcon City is currently discussing surrender. The leaders of the Revolutionary Army are coming tomorrow, and if you don't come back today, you won't be able to attend tomorrow's meeting!"

Roland was completely stunned. He said incredulously, "How can these guys be so fierce? Just with some muskets and cannons?"

After thinking for a moment, Roland suddenly realized and said, "Is it because of the cold current? The light of the gods cannot shine on the River Styx. During the cold current of the River Styx, the Holy Army cannot use divine magic, so they can't use their cheat codes."

Therefore, as long as the revolutionary army finds the right opportunity to launch attacks during each blizzard, everyone is brought to the same level.

So, the muskets won?

Helena said, "They can still cast divine spells. They have something called 'Divine Grace Fire.' Wherever its light reaches, it becomes a heavenly paradise."

But Aurelia has many treasures, including things that can extinguish fires and Heracles' relics that can control cold currents and help the Revolutionary Army fight in the snow.

Even so, this battle was extremely difficult. The Crusaders' weapons were too advanced; even though they often malfunctioned in the cold weather, they were not easily dealt with by primitive weapons like muskets and cannons.

Fortunately, the revolutionary army had several outstanding military strategists who knew the church very well, so they won many battles and acquired a lot of good equipment from the church.
If we fight normally, we still have a chance to win. But the church will definitely receive the news and send reinforcements.

Roland's eyes lit up as he added, "So, they launched a surprise attack? And then wiped out the Crusaders in one fell swoop?"

Helena said, "No, our people are here."
