I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Olivia's attention seemed to be entirely focused on Helena.

As Helena was making tea for Olivia, Olivia glanced at her with a smile, and then, without anyone noticing, she switched her tea with Roland's.

—It turns out that Helena secretly used the magic mirror while making tea and added a little magic potion to Olivia's tea.

Olivia seemed to have noticed Helena's little trick, so she switched the teacups.

Roland had drunk tea before, so there was obviously nothing wrong with Roland's tea.

Although Olivia didn't believe that Heracles' potion would work on her, she switched the teacup as a precaution.

The whole process was carried out without anyone noticing, not even Roland.

Seeing Olivia pick up her teacup, Roland and Helena couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Roland only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Olivia drink the tea.

Roland thought to himself, "The Holy Spirit Hospital truly is the most professional hospital in the world. Even the most cunning patient, after being secretly given medication by the doctor, won't notice the medicine taste in their tea."

Roland was absolutely certain that Olivia had taken the medicine. Because Roland was absolutely certain that the teacup she had just been holding was his own.

Roland thought to himself, 'I only asked Helena to use the magic mirror to distract Olivia so I could secretly spit the medicine into the teacup. I never expected Olivia to drink my tea!'

Gods, please bless me! I'm here today to clean up the mess you left behind!
"Vilmick's medicine absolutely has to work on Olivia! Otherwise, not only am I doomed today, but if she goes crazy in heaven tomorrow, you'll all be finished too!"

Roland didn't notice that Olivia had switched his teacup, but he did notice that his tea wasn't his own.

Because the water level is wrong!

Helena brewed Roland a little less tea than everyone else!
After Roland 'drank' tea, there was more tea!

Because he never drank the medicine; instead, he inhaled it into his lungs.

As the most problematic patient at the Virmyk Holy Spirit Hospital, and as the most professional graduate of the 'drug-avoidance class,' Roland had long since mastered a whole set of skills.

Roland couldn't be sure if the medicine would work after Olivia drank it, because it didn't work by blocking divine power.

Instead, it works by influencing cognition, preventing people from using divine arts and magic.

Therefore, no abnormalities can be detected in the body after taking the medication. Only when the patient has a seizure and tries to act can it be determined whether the medication has been effective.

As for how effective it will be after it takes effect, we'll probably only know once the fighting begins.

Roland thought to himself: 'Logically speaking, what Olivia wants is to give herself to me, not to Olivia.'

But this woman is sick!
She believed she loved O'Reilly!
Therefore, once she discovers that there is another O'Reilly, she will feel that a huge chasm has appeared between her and her beloved.

And that chasm is me!

She will definitely do anything to kill me, the one who defiled her.

Helena and I had everything planned out! But then the Count gave us a divine intervention, and the puppet never got given away!
Helena's magic mirror wasn't completely ineffective, but Olivia could spot her as long as she focused her attention on her. Therefore, Helena couldn't go out to deliver messages.

No matter how Roland thought about it, he felt that a conflict was unavoidable today.

No matter how much he delayed the battle, he felt that he would have to endure at least one of Olivia's hateful blows before he would have a chance to escape.

He seriously doubted whether he could withstand the blow.

After much thought, he realized that it seemed more likely he would survive by stubbornly arguing and making excuses than by resisting.
It can probably increase the survival rate from 1% to around 6%.

Roland couldn't help but pray to the gods again. He even swore that if any god could save him from this calamity, he would join the church and begin to believe in the god who helped him!
As for whether he would become a traitor while believing in God, he didn't think about it.

Roland prayed so devoutly that he didn't even open his eyes when the doorman opened the meeting hall door and footsteps and voices came from inside.

But whether it was a blessing from some god or not, after hearing the sounds of people sitting down at the long table opposite him, Roland did not sense any murderous intent from Olivia.

Instead, he sensed the questioning look that Olivia had given him several times.

Roland opened his eyes quietly, full of surprise, and looked at the person opposite him.

Not one of them was someone Roland knew!
Except for a certain man sitting next to the female leader of the revolutionary army—this man was 'Roland'.

Roland: “?”

The other Roland rolled his eyes and gave Roland a look: "What are you looking at? That woman's crazy, always trying to cause me trouble. Of course I'm not coming over in my own form!"

Roland knew exactly who this was. He was overjoyed and thought to himself, "Hahaha! Thank you, Lady Luck. But I'm sorry, I didn't pray to you beforehand."

The religion I believe in is not the Church of Light and Shadow, but the Church of Wizards!
The god I believe in isn't one of the gods of heaven, but myself. Hahaha!

Before everyone had arrived, people on both sides of the long table were whispering and discussing things.

Roland took the opportunity to communicate with O'Reilly through eye contact.

Where is Catherine?

O'Reilly rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, 'This idiot.'

Aurelia didn't tell Roland where Catherine was. She glared at Roland and changed the subject: "Why are you sitting so close to that crazy woman? If she misunderstands and thinks I accepted her confession, you can forget about me going back to the Vatican with her for you!"

Roland's heart skipped a beat.

He accepted Olivia's confession not only as Olivia, but also as her lover.
Just then, he felt Olivia quietly approach his ear, her warm breath reaching Roland's ears.

"Olélie, is that man your brother?"

At this moment, Roland was still mindful of Olivia. He whispered in Olivia's ear, "I don't know. I've never met my brother before, nor have I been in contact with the Revolutionary Army. But that guy does look a bit like me."

Olivia glanced at 'Roland' and whispered in Roland's ear, "Upon closer inspection, it doesn't really look like him. Only about six or seven points similar, but his face and build look so familiar."

Roland thought to himself, 'Yes, Olivia is right, Aurelia isn't using my face.'

Roland casually replied, "You think he looks familiar, probably because he resembles me." Olivia frowned and shook her head, saying, "No, I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before."

Roland was taken aback, and then it dawned on him that something happened, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Damn! Could it be that Olivia seems to have figured out Olivia's disguise? No, that's not right. When Olivia went to the Revolutionary Army to look for Olivia before, she didn't find her."

But Helena said that O'Reilly had met Olivia before.

This indicates that the two had met, but Olivia failed to notice Olivia's disguise.

This brat has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, and her abilities in the mystical and eccentric realm are no less than mine. The theories of eccentricity she understands are even difficult for me to comprehend. Therefore, her methods are not so easy to see through.

At least I didn't notice it.

If that's the case, why does Olivia find O'Reilly's current appearance so familiar?

Suddenly, Roland remembered something—Olivia had said in the Sacred Pool, "If you looked different, I probably wouldn't recognize you."

Roland suddenly realized a possibility, and his face immediately turned very ugly.

Roland thought to himself, 'That idiot O'Reilly! She always uses this face when she's disguising herself!'
She used this face when she dressed up as a boy to prank Olivia!
Idiot!
You're basically telling people you're O'Reilly!

In the midst of the chaos, Roland quickly changed the subject, diverting Olivia's attention.

"The Aleye dynasty has fallen, but there are still quite a few descendants in the south, especially Marrod Ovilia. Do you think this person might have Aleye royal blood?"

“You mean, that Roland?” Olivia frowned, her tone turning somewhat cold.

Upon hearing this, a priestess from the Crusader interrupted, "My lord, it's quite possible that he is the bastard that the wizards sent to help the rebels this time. It could very well be him."

"kindness."

Ovilia grunted, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

The priestess tentatively asked in a low voice, "When I was in the Papacy, I heard many bishops say that the remnants of the Alaye Dynasty were a major hidden danger and should be eradicated."

Olivia said, "The gods don't have that much of a problem with the Old Church. The gods who still favor the Old Church still exist, and there are even gods who think the Protestant Church is becoming increasingly disobedient and should restore the Old Church to its former status—like the sea god."

Therefore, the 'Dawn and Shadow United Church' is the Dawn and Shadow United Church, and the Alaya Dynasty is the Alaya Dynasty. There is no such thing as remnants.

Furthermore, the union of a god and a human is indeed a defilement of the god. However, the people of the Alaya dynasty were not ordinary mortals.

Many descendants of this family have a history of union with the gods. The men among them are often deeply favored by goddesses.

Mary, I know there is hatred and entanglement between Protestants and Catholics, but Protestants have no right to use the word 'bastard' to refer to demigods.

This time, I'm letting bygones be bygones because of your ignorance. But in the future, you should watch your words.

Upon hearing this, Roland and the priestess had different expressions.

The priestess thought to herself: 'In ancient times, the gods and wizards, under pressure from madness, once joined forces for a time. To stabilize the situation, the gods married the most powerful wizard, and their descendants established the Alaya Dynasty, jointly ruling the world.'

Therefore, Catholicism was a political product of the circumstances of that era.

The situation has changed drastically; the gods, having broken with the wizards, no longer support the Alaya dynasty. Yet, some gods still favor the descendants of the old dynasty.

Priestess Mary was unaware that the 'wizard' the Protestants considered was a god-like being in the eyes of the gods.

They had a special name for those mortal wizards who had united with the gods back then—the Forbidden Creators.

These forbidden creators called themselves human beings. The Protestants were unaware that there was once a group of mortals more terrifying than gods, so they did not know what kind of beings these 'wizards' were.

But in the eyes of the gods, these wizards were gods just like them. Therefore, in the gods' view, the Alaya Dynasty was not a product of the union of mortals and gods, but rather a product of the union of gods and outward gods!
Roland thought to himself, "That's right! The Three Holy Mothers of Dawn are ancient gods who left this world a very, very long time ago."

The records concerning the four holy sons are also part of the history recorded in the Old Scriptures.

Therefore, logically speaking, it is impossible for a child born from the union of the 'Three Holy Mothers of Dawn' and a mortal in this era!

That scared me to death! It turns out the 'bastard' the priestess was referring to was a general term for all descendants of the old Alayan dynasty, not just me.
It seems the Dawn Order has done an excellent job of keeping secrets. The Church has no idea that I, this Alaye, am the 'Mad Son' from Old Bible history—a figure from mythological history—who has appeared in the present. This is utterly absurd!

At this moment, the priestess cautiously asked, "Your Highness, there are rumors that the Kingdom of Heaven is increasingly dissatisfied with the Protestants. The revolutionary army on the banks of the River Angel and the Old Church both have the secret support of certain gods, and this Roland..."

Priestess Mary stopped there, her words carefully chosen. To put it bluntly: Does Heaven no longer want the Protestants managing the ranches? Does it want the Old Church, this Roland, to manage them?

Roland's eyes suddenly twitched, and he thought to himself: 'The gods and their churches on earth have no idea that I, the last descendant of the Alayean dynasty, am the wicked Son of God in the Old Scriptures. If that's the case, shouldn't I return to the Papacy to inherit the lineage?'
My senior should have more information than I do. Could she also be planning to send me to the Vatican?

Olivia said, “I have indeed seen such a bill in the (Kingdom of Heaven) Council, and I know that the Council has issued a divine decree to the Church to ‘find and protect the descendants of the Alaye dynasty.’”

But I've heard that he also ruined a lot of our plans in the affairs of Vermek and Malrod. The Well of Faith was destroyed by this bastard himself.

Now, he is causing trouble on the banks of the Angel River. Indeed, some of the gods still favor the Alaye family and are still interested in the bloodline of the 'Forbidden Creators'.

But their favor is directed towards the Alaye, who are native to the South.

Not those heretics who betrayed the Kingdom of Heaven and were completely assimilated by the wizards.

Mary, the reforms initiated by the Orbis family have indeed displeased some of the gods in Heaven. Among those Alayean bloodlines you have found, a new human leader may indeed emerge. A more devout representative.
But it definitely won't be this Roland.

His existence even led the council to question the bloodline of the entire Alaye family.

At least this Roland, just looking at him makes me feel disgusted!

Hearing His Highness's attitude towards this remnant of the old dynasty, the priestess secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she secretly admired him: 'This person was involved in the events of Wilmick and Malrod? He even personally destroyed the Well of Faith?'
Wizards employ many mystical methods when dealing with confidential information, making it difficult even for the god of fate to uncover the truth.

Not to mention, not a single survivor returned from the expedition to Malrod.

The things Her Highness spoke of were things even the Church didn't know. Truly, she is the Son of Heaven; her eyes can see the past and the future! (End of Chapter)
