I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

After letting out a curse, Olivia said, "That's enough for today. How about a draw?"

Roland was naturally unwilling to draw, but when he saw Olivia take a sip of her drink as if she were thirsty, his expression darkened slightly.

Olivia smiled and said, “Mr. Roland, but Asabron’s ‘hourglass’ can’t get rid of me. Besides, the formula that O’Reilly paid Him for is a fake. This stuff is very dangerous; even the Most Holy Mother has been intoxicated by inferior products.”
O'Reilly is such a troublemaker, how could anyone possibly dare to give her the real formula?
This counterfeit is indeed very realistic, and it is indeed very effective. At least it can get you completely drunk, but it's not good enough to make me drunk.

Olivia snorted, glanced at the bottle of 'Divine Drunkenness' Maria was holding, and said, "It's more like the wine of the Moon Goddess."

Upon hearing this, Roland, Helena, and Joan's expressions immediately turned extremely ugly.

No one has heard of the god Asabron, because the nightmare god in heaven doesn't seem to have that name. So He is probably a god from the old heaven.

But regardless, one thing is clear to everyone: this god is a swindler who specializes in selling counterfeit goods.

Of course, ultimately it comes down to O'Reilly being unreliable—she had confidently stated that she had tried the drug.

In any case, all that hard work has been for nothing.

Helena and Joan couldn't help but give Roland a look—just how much of a troublemaker is your sister?!
Having said that, Roland already knew that tonight's plans were doomed. The most important thing now was not to continue wasting time with Olivia, but to quickly find a way to get rid of his own troubles.

This nightmare hourglass may not have any effect on Olivia, but it might just be ineffective on her.

Because O'Reilly may have actually tried this drug—judging from the time and place, the 'Lake of Sleep' in the Old Testament and the victim, Eros, are most likely not related to Asabron, but rather O'Reilly's creation.

"Then let's call it a draw."

Roland planned to induce vomiting. After he finished speaking, he got up to leave, but he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Olivia couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. She feigned a gesture of support to help Roland up, but as soon as she stood up, she swayed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, she felt a dizzying sensation and almost fell to the ground.

'How...how is this possible?!'
I did put in some real stuff, but how could that piece of trash Asabron possibly take me down?

The mistress fell into a coma because she was ill. I don't have that problem, so how could I be brought down?

Olivia sensed something was very wrong, but she didn't have the mind to think about it at the moment.

She abandoned her idea of ​​giving Roland two bottles of "miracle cure" to get him into her room, and hurriedly took out a small bottle that looked like Tiger Balm and sniffed it.

After putting away the small bottle, Olivia turned and left, but if you looked closely, you would notice that her steps were still somewhat unsteady as she left the carriage.

The others didn't notice Olivia's unusual behavior because they were all feeling a bit dizzy.

Bang, bang, bang! Several people collapsed inside the carriage. Some priestesses tried to keep up with Olivia, but they all fell to the ground halfway and then fell into a deep sleep. Only Theresa and a few others managed to stagger out of the carriage.

Upon closer inspection, these people seemed more like they had drunk too much than fainted.

By this time, Roland had calmed down. He saw that Helena and Joan were kneeling on the ground, drunk, so he quickly helped them up and led them toward carriage number 1.

On the way, a hand reached out from the ground and grabbed Roland's trouser leg.

"My lord, the immortal will be fine after a night's sleep, but the hourglass needs an antidote. Diana's medicine is the real deal; you must get it from her."

This person was Mary. At this point, she began to slur her words, and what she said afterward became increasingly unintelligible.

"Stop talking and get some rest. You've all worked hard today."

In reality, Roland's medicine had no effect on Olivia, and Olivia's medicine couldn't produce the same effect either—after all, the others hadn't been drinking.

What caused everyone to get so drunk was 'Immortal's Drunkenness'.

It turned out that after Maria and the others discovered that Roland and Olivia were both focused on vying for the Observer, they hurriedly added the deity to the wine and soup.

Olivia was too preoccupied to listen to what was happening around her, and since it was a cocktail, neither she nor Roland noticed it.

It's true that only Roland and Olivia drank the wine, but the two of them consumed about a hundred bottles, along with a large tub of hot soup. The carriage was already filled with the smell of alcohol.

Although the hourglass of nightmares tastes like wine, it is a genuine magic potion and must be drunk to be effective.

But the wine is genuine, and it's the divine wine of the old paradise!
The 'Old Gods' would feel the pleasure of intoxication in this wine, and mortals would get drunk just from smelling it, let alone drinking it.

Previously, when Olivia was in the kitchen, she told Joan and the six servants that if the Nightmare Hourglass could not bring Roland down, they should drink the wine with Roland.

She was confident that she could drink a lot without getting drunk and could keep up with Roland's drinking.

No one knew the wine was so strong; they just thought it could get people drunk.

So, seeing that Roland's antidote stockpile was running low, while Olivia was perfectly fine, Maria and the others decided to try something desperate and secretly switched the drinks for the two of them.

They hoped that while Roland was in a coma, Olivia would also faint.

In this way, although Roland and Olivia both got drunk, their goal was achieved. Moreover, as long as the six servants remained sober, they could still steal and alter books—even if the proprietress woke up and discovered their trickery, they could still change it.

But they didn't expect that they would get drunk just from smelling the aroma.

Everyone in the carriage was already drunk, but once intoxicated, they wouldn't collapse unless they moved. So by the time they realized they were completely drunk, it was too late.

Olivia was in the same situation, so she drank a lot.

"A thousand cups without getting drunk" is just an adjective. In the old paradise, even the twelve god-kings would have to lie down after a few bottles.

Olivia knew the potency of this wine; she was well aware that if she were drunk, no one but the moon goddess would remain unaffected. Not even her father.

In her memory, even the supreme moon god (the mad former master, the generous king) was once defeated.

Therefore, Roland will definitely get drunk just like him this time.

Unfortunately, although Olivia has many memories of the old world, she is ultimately acting erratically and is unaware of everything Heraca knows.

So she didn't know whose child Roland was.

In the old Paradise, the moon goddess was also jokingly referred to as the goddess of wine. Roland's father was the only one who had ever knocked her over.

As for Roland, he inherited all the strengths and weaknesses of his father and three mothers—Nep was his biological father, and Luna was his biological mother!

Although Roland felt drunk, he still retained a sliver of clarity. He could even use magic.

After Roland finished speaking with Maria, he helped Helena and Joan to their feet and out of the carriage. But Roland stood up one by one from his original seat inside the carriage.

Roland's steps were still somewhat unsteady, but each time the situation improved.

After they got up, they carried the priests one by one and headed towards carriage number 1.

When the last Roland stood up, although his face showed some signs of drunkenness, his eyes were very clear.

He watched as each of them staggered away, carrying their backs to the others, and a slight frown crept into his heart.

Roland thought to himself, 'The me now, when I just sat down, hadn't even had a sip of soup yet. In other words, I haven't drunk the Nightmare Hourglass and the Immortal's Potion yet.'

But why do I feel drunk?

Gathering his thoughts, Roland dared not dwell on it any longer. He hurriedly tossed the remaining large soup pot and several bottles of Divine Elixir into his Serpent Ring, and used his divine sense to control the Hall of Sanctuary, contacting Malrod. Roland at this moment was indeed Roland who hadn't yet drunk anything.

But after a while, he became Roland after drinking something.

He has a solution to the problem of the Nightmare Hourglass—he still has more than an hour before he finishes drinking the hourglass.

Roland's 'replica hourglass' takes effect in 3 hours.

Olivia's 'real hourglass' should take more than 2 hours to take effect—after all, he drank for almost two hours straight.

In other words, Malrod has at least 3 hours to reconstitute the antidote for the 'fake hourglass' and 2 hours to develop the antidote using a sample of the real hourglass.

The difference between the formulas for the real and fake hourglasses isn't too great. With the antidote from the fake hourglass as a base, plus a sample from the real hourglass, the wizards can complete the task with the help of the quiz machine and the Well of Faith.

Whether they can figure out the antidote for "Immortal's Fall" is hard to say.

After all, no one has any data on this, so we need to reverse engineer it. It could take several years of research.

Roland rubbed his slightly dizzy forehead and muttered to himself, 'Damn it, why is my head getting dizzier and dizzier?'

Roland had thought that if he anchored himself to what he had been doing an hour earlier, he could hold out for another hour—after all, getting drunk was something that happened an hour later.

But now he looks like he's about to pass out after drinking.

This made him realize that something was wrong.

There's no time to waste!

Roland hurriedly stood up and left the carriage, wanting to get to Olivia's room as soon as possible to steal the book.

As soon as Roland stepped into carriage number 1, he felt dizzy and lost his balance, almost falling to the ground.

'Damn, no, I need to lie down for a while.'

Staggering, Roland stepped into his private room, whose door was ajar. Inside, four beds were laid out side by side, with Helena and Joan lying on them, completely drunk. Roland, meanwhile, sat on the edge of the bed, drinking tea, rubbing his head, and taking off his coat.

Behind Roland, numerous phantoms were walking onto him and performing the same actions.

Upon seeing him, Roland, who had just begun his training, also transformed into a phantom, merging with all his other selves into one.

At this moment when all of Roland's were united, Roland felt even more dizzy.

'Oh no! The intoxication from this drink seems to be related to SAN!'
The lower the SAN level, the easier it is to get drunk!
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have used this kind of magic!

Roland was right.

The reason why the Generous King can drink gods like beer is because she is essentially 'all things'—her SAN is supreme, and she will not get drunk unless she knocks down everything in the world.

As for Roland's father, his SAN was beyond the comprehension of the old Heavenly World.

Therefore, both of them were able to drink a lot without getting drunk.

Although Roland is far from reaching the level of his parents, he is not so weak that he would pass out after just a few bottles of wine.

But today he performed a series of SAN-drop operations.

To develop oneself in the lower realms is essentially a form of demonic manipulation. It consumes a great deal of SAN (Sanity Points).

Similarly, competing for observers is also a very SAN-intensive activity.

Another person, after rolling the dice with Olivia, would have been lost in time and space, unable to distinguish themselves. Roland not only played a game with this great evil god, but also drank alcohol and made a crazy move of "all selves are me".

Even if he was fine before, he'll be drunk now.

'Olivia is probably in no better shape. I only used a bit of the Demonic Madness spell, but she's constantly going insane.'

Thinking of this, Roland felt both happy and worried.

'It seems things won't get done tonight. However, it seems Olivia won't be able to get anything done either.'
This guy is determined to take me down, what exactly does he want?

At this point, Roland felt he could barely think straight. All he remembered was waking Joan while he was lying in bed. Joan seemed to groan and say she needed to use the bathroom. Then she turned over and went back to sleep.

Roland underestimated his own strength.

They also underestimated Ovilia's strength.

That night, around midnight, Roland began to sober up a bit.

He felt Joan gently nudging him, so he yelled, "There are so many places over there, why are you pushing me?"

As he spoke, Roland turned around sleepily and looked at Joan by the bedside behind him.

Upon seeing this, Roland was completely sobered up!
The woman standing by the bed, Miss Joan, was dressed in a simple robe and looked furtive. She was trying to quietly pull a book out from under Roland's body.

Upon seeing Roland open his eyes, Miss Joan's expression changed slightly in fright.

This person was clearly not Joan. Joan was sleeping next to Roland.

This young lady is Olivia.

It turned out that she felt the urge to urinate in the middle of the night, so she went to the toilet while still drunk. After using the toilet, she became a little more clear-headed and suddenly remembered the important matter she had to attend to that day.

So she secretly came to Roland's place, intending to steal something.

At this moment, seeing that Roland seemed to have woken up, Olivia was almost scared to death—if Roland found out what he had, things would be in big trouble!

Olivia wasn't quite lucid either, so instead of using any magic to knock Roland out, she hurriedly grabbed a bottle of wine from the book at her waist—it was unclear whether she intended to knock Roland unconscious or get him drunk.

Or both.

Upon seeing this, Roland sobered up completely.

"Weren't you going to the restroom? Why did you bring back a bottle of wine? You can drink it yourself, I'm not drinking."

Roland pretended to be still not fully awake, then rolled over and turned his backside towards Olivia.

The woman behind him remained motionless, clutching the bottle as if deep in thought. But her confused state of mind made thinking exceptionally difficult.

Roland remained motionless, his heart pounding as he quietly touched the book beneath him.

'woc! woc! woc!'

I know what she's up to!

I also have a copy of the 'Book of Rest'!

She wants this Book of Rest! (End of Chapter)
