I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

“Our men brought two teams of ‘holy servants’ and some new things.”

Those new gadgets were originally meant to deal with the gods, but Olivia has been held back by you, so they haven't been used.

Without divine protection, the Crusaders were wiped out by the Twilight Wizards who directly detonated the two teams of Holy Servant-level prisoners.

The remaining troops were no match for the revolutionary army and were quickly surrounded and wiped out.

The phrase "two groups of prisoners" is not misused.

Roland understood Helena's meaning—the Twilight Wizards had annihilated the main force of the Crusader by sacrificing 24 apprentices.

A dozen or so apprentices wiped out an army of tens of thousands. The wizards used very simple things, but they used very powerful items.

Because Roland could guess that these twenty-odd apprentices were all 'Three Holy Servants' or something like that.

Using so many dirty bombs against a church force is quite a lot of respect for them.

This Crusader army was only there to eradicate the heretics in Grey Falcon City, and the Earl's forces were not strong, so the strength of the Crusader army was not terrifying.

Judging from the previous lords' council, this Crusader is similar to the unofficial Crusader of the Vermik Sanctuary. They handle cultists with ease, but dealing with Eastern Wizards is proving to be a bit of a struggle.

Moreover, with Olivia leading the team, there's no need for other strong individuals in the unit.

Normally, if the wizards seize the opportunity while they are gathering, three holy servants would be enough.

If more than twenty of them were released at once, even a demigod would probably turn into some strange thing.

The reason why the wizards think so highly of this army is probably because they are afraid of causing any unforeseen complications.

After all, this is church territory.

Therefore, the wizards chose a swift and decisive approach to avoid a protracted tug-of-war with the church.

Roland nodded and said, "This is indeed a good place to use the 'Holy Servants'. The cold currents of the River Styx can purify all pollution. Otherwise, if it were placed elsewhere, the entire province would probably become a strange place like the Land of the End."

Helena said, "There were quite a few 'snake gourds' growing there. However, Senior Catherine and the others should have cut them all down in the past few days, so it shouldn't delay their attendance at the conference tomorrow."

Seemingly tired from talking, Helena sat down on the bed.

As she combed her hair, she continued, "You have no idea that after the Crusaders fled to Grey Falcon City, Count Bal immediately wanted to personally lead troops to reinforce the Crusaders."

I was afraid he didn't know the situation, so I persuaded him to come.

But he was incredibly loyal and insisted on going to help no matter what. So I couldn't stop him.

However, according to our people, he wasn't actually going to reinforce. He used the excuse of reinforcements to escape.

He's pretty good, but he ran into our new thing. After he was surrounded, he got hit by O'Reilly again.
When the nobles brought him back, he was unconscious. He would have died if I hadn't secretly gotten some magic potions from our people.”

Helena's words came in waves, the amount of information was so overwhelming that Roland was completely stunned.

Roland was stunned for a long time before he could process Helena's words.

Roland muttered, "What did we bring that made it impossible for these people to escape?"

Helena said, "Senior Catherine will be coming tomorrow, and they'll definitely be bringing things. You can ask her."

Roland asked instinctively, "Catherine? Which Catherine?"

Helena rolled her eyes and said, "Senior, you've been missing for three months. Senior sister ran away a long time ago... She went to 'Snow White City' to find you—the place you originally planned to go."

Of course she didn't find you, nor did she find O'Reilly.

However, that place had already been captured by O'Reilly and her forces. So, the senior student reunited with O'Reilly and Joan through the local revolutionary army.

At this point, Helena scratched her face and added, "It seems like my senior came out before you woke up; she seemed to have woken up about half a month earlier than you. But it was snowing the whole time, so I didn't receive her message until more than a month later."

The ability to break the seal on the Book of Heaven was entirely thanks to her. She seemed to have seen a similar divine-level seal at Bloodless Fortress. After listening to her ideas, the Wizarding Council and Merlin's teachers changed their approach and solved the problem in a few days!

Roland nodded, digesting all the news.

Roland asked, "Where is Catherine now?"

Helena sat on the bed, picking at her fingernails, and said, "I already told you, she's coming to the meeting with O'Reilly tomorrow."

Roland's face turned ashen, and he exclaimed, "No! We can't let O'Reilly..."

Roland quickly covered his mouth halfway through his sentence, grabbed Helena's arm, and whispered, "That woman has always thought I was O'Reilly. If she finds out I lied to her, she'll kill me!"

Helena looked at Roland with suspicion and said, "Senior, did you do something strange to her?"

Roland's expression changed slightly. He said, "Cough, how could that be? What can two women do? But you know, we're taking a shower! She mistook me for a woman earlier. Hurry up, Helena, can you contact O'Reilly and the others?"

Helena rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "Given his character, he's definitely been sneaking around with her."

Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Helena said, "We were in contact this morning, but it started snowing this afternoon. Is it still possible to make it tomorrow?"

Roland said, "What's the rush! I'll be dead tomorrow!"

Seeing Roland's anxious expression, Helena was speechless and stopped teasing her senior.

Helena said, "Senior, why have you become so timid? It's just that you took advantage of her a little. Even if she wanted to kill you, everyone would have to agree."

"It's alright, the seniors are coming tomorrow. You have no idea how powerful those new gadgets are. Olivia is all alone; even if she's an archangel from heaven, she can't beat us."

Helena paused, stopping her combing of her hair, and looked up to say, "By the way, my senior mentioned that she asked Leona to deliver a letter to you. Can you contact Leona? You could ask her to pass on the message for you."

Roland shook his head and said, "I can't feel her."

After a pause, Roland said, "Helena, you said Olivia is an angel from heaven."

But what if this Olivia is not only a terrifying god, but also not from heaven?

Helena hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior, this is indeed quite strange."
O'Reilly said that Olivia is mentally ill and she's quite afraid of her, so she tells you to stay away from her.
I told her that the two of them were taking a bath next door.

She said it's alright. She also told me not to tell you, and to just treat her like Olivia and make sure you treat her well.

Roland began to think seriously, and gradually, a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Roland said, "Helena, the Church has been working in Maldore for decades in order to open a channel to the divine realm. After the channel was opened, they sent so many cardinals and holy kings."
"If the church had the ability to summon such a powerful archangel from heaven, why didn't they simply launch a grand judgment after the failure?"

Helena stopped combing her hair, frowned, and said, "Yes, I've been wondering about that too. The Well of Faith is in our hands. Where did Olivia come from?"
I've been wondering about this for a long time, because when we 'made the phone call' before, O'Reilly mentioned that there was only one Well of Faith.

I asked her how Olivia came from heaven. But she hesitated and told me it was best not to know.

She also told me not to mention such things in front of Olivia.

Roland asked, "Did you tell Aurelia to keep it a secret and cooperate with my act?" Helena coughed and said, "Senior, the whole world knows that Aurelia is in the Revolutionary Army. Saying the whole world is a bit of an exaggeration, but the Crusaders definitely know."

This girl had clearly forgotten to tell O'Reilly about helping Roland act, but what she said was indeed correct.

The Revolutionary Army and the Crusaders have been fighting for so long, and the Revolutionary Army soldiers are all buffed by the Goddess of Sincerity, looking like sincere angels.

Moreover, O'Reilly also used so many of the treasures given to her by the gods and her own signature methods.

Count Barr even got hit by her!

Even if the Crusaders and the people of Greyfalcon City were all fools, they would know which god the so-called 'Goddess of Revolution' was.

Helena got up and started packing her things. She said, "Alright, alright, senior. Don't look so gloomy. I'll go through the trouble of delivering a message for you. You can stay here for a while."

Before she could finish speaking, Helena was pushed back to bed by Roland.

Just as Helena was wondering what was going on, she heard Roland say gently, "Isabella, don't be angry. I was just saying that in anger."

Helena was slightly taken aback, seemingly not understanding what Roland meant.

But her mind worked very quickly; she only hesitated for a moment before realizing what was happening.

She quietly sensed her surroundings, but did not detect any divine presence in the room.

But she didn't say anything; instead, she started to look around.

Helena thought to herself, 'My senior can't be joking with me; he must have sensed something.'

So much has happened lately, and the Crusaders are in the castle. If they discover Olivia has come out, they'll definitely find her immediately and go with her to the Count.

The Count also lives in this area. It's entirely possible that Olivia is actually in this area!

In fact, Olivia did look in this direction just now, but normally, given Roland and Helena's level of cultivation, it would have been impossible for them to notice.

But Roland had experienced being spied on too many times, and had developed an intuition for it.

Roland wasn't sure if Olivia was looking in their direction; he had just felt a chill run down his spine, so he reacted immediately.

Helena didn't know how to respond, so she pretended to be sulking and started combing her hair.

Roland said, "Isabella, you know the current situation. Come with me and Olivia to the Vatican."

Helena said, "You go with her. You should go with her tonight. Goodbye, I'm going to take a shower."

Roland sighed, sat on the bed, and embraced Helena.

Helena pushed his hand away and pulled a gray Holy Grail from the package she had just tidied up on the ground.

The Holy Grail was filled with clear water and exuded an aroma that Roland found very familiar.

Upon seeing the Holy Grail, Roland's eyes flickered slightly.

The Holy Grail is inscribed with many mythological stories about Heracles, and the water in the Grail is the same water used in the Holy Pool of Heracles.

The city was in a state of panic these past few days. Although the revolutionary army had besieged the city, they had left one side open – there were no revolutionary soldiers at the northern gate of Grey Falcon City (towards Wilmik)!

So, almost everyone in the city fled. The servants, in particular, secretly took a lot of things with them as they ran away.

In addition, Count Bal remained seriously injured and unconscious, so no one had the time or inclination to deal with these matters.

The servants were running away, the noble vassals were running away, everyone was running off with the money. Only a small number of loyal cultists remained in the entire castle.

Faced with this situation, Helena, adhering to the principle of "if you don't take it, you're a fool," secretly used the magic mirror to do a lot of bad things.

She practically turned the entire castle upside down!
This Holy Grail was one of her acquisitions.

Not to mention the Holy Grail, she didn't even let go of the local specialties of Greyhawk Castle, or even many expensive spices!
Anyway, the deserters will settle the score, won't they?

Moreover, these things are the spoils of war of wizards and revolutionaries, and we can't let the cultists take them all.

At this moment, Helena had already poured the water from the Holy Grail into the bathtub.

Instantly, the room was filled with moisture—just like dry ice poured into water—making everything around us blurry.

Roland couldn't help but give Helena a thumbs up.

Now, the bedroom's environment is the same as the sacred pool, and Olivia can no longer see it clearly.

Not to mention Olivia in the distance, even Helena and Roland, who were right next to her, could hardly see their surroundings.

The room was already dark, and the fog blocked out the light and shielded their senses, making the two of them feel like ordinary people locked in a dark room.

Helena whispered, "Don't just stand there, senior. This isn't the sacred pool; the moisture won't last long. Let's get Isabella and Edward out quickly so they can go and report!"

Roland couldn't help but exclaim, "Helena, it's all thanks to you!"

As he spoke, Roland began to take off his shirt.

He had only taken his clothes off halfway when Helena grabbed Roland's arm with her small hand.

Helena blushed and whispered, "Senior, why are you taking off your clothes?"

Roland paused for a moment, then said, "Didn't I tell you before? To get Isabella and Edward out, we have to go to the Sacred Pool!"
We can't go to the Sacred Pool now, so let's make do with the Holy Grail—you go in and soak first, I'll set things up!

As he spoke, Roland touched his fingers, but did not touch the snake ring.

He suddenly remembered that the Serpent Ring was with Leona. Even the Dimensional Bag was inside the Serpent Ring.

He has nothing on him now.

At that moment, rustling sounds came from the mist not far away, and Roland knew that Helena was taking off her clothes.

Roland said to the other side, "Edward and Edward are both ordinary people and cannot withstand the pain of their souls shattering. The water in the sacred pool can nourish their souls and prevent them from dying immediately after they come out."

However, this is not the sacred pool, and there are no Styx stones or Undying Resin to block the Styx's icy currents. Therefore, they might be swept away by the Styx's cold currents after they come out.

Do you have Styx Stone and resin? If not, magic powder will do.

Magic powder certainly can't replace Styx Stone and resin, but Roland has the Forbidden Polymorph spell. However, the Forbidden Polymorph spell only lasts for a few seconds, and Roland is afraid that he won't have enough time.

"There are lots of things in my box, look for them." Helena's voice was barely audible; she was probably mortified.

Roland looked at Helena with some confusion, only to see a figure vaguely taking off her clothes.

Roland thought to himself, 'Just take off my coat to avoid my robes being purified by the water. Why is Helena taking so long over there?'
Ignoring all that, Roland found Helena's 'treasure chest' nearby. (End of Chapter)
