I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Inside the study on the first floor of the Akasei Monastery.

Six male wizards floated in mid-air, each holding a secret treasure from the East, forming a barrier around a long table to shield their senses.

At the long table in the center of the barrier, a man who looked to be about twenty years old, a girl who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen, and a charming older woman were nervously watching a silver basin.

The silver basin seemed to be filled with mercury, which reflected the scene in a certain room like a mirror.

Upon closer inspection, the scene appears to be from someone's perspective. This person is standing in front of a priest, watching the priest flip through an ancient and strange book.

The girl asked softly, "Sister Brianna, will Olivia find out we're spying on her?"

“Call me Auntie.” The alluring woman tapped Helena on the head and said, “We are all connected on a spiritual level. So this ‘Silver Dream’ uses me as the medium to capture everything Joan sees from the ocean in the lower world.”

You could think of this as something Roland saw in a projection.

Therefore, our magic didn't leave this study; to outsiders, it appeared as if we were observing Roland's memories, rather than Joan's.

Helena asked, seemingly understanding but not quite, "It sounds like one of those 'seven-pointed star tables' that's popular at the academy right now."

Brianna's eyes lit up slightly, revealing an expression of someone who was quick to learn. She said, "It is indeed based on it, only the direction is slightly different. The fact that you can see that shows that you have done a pretty good job of studying the seven-pointed table."

Helena asked, "Can you see the words in Olivia's book? What's written in the Book of Rest?"

At this moment, Roland slowly opened his eyes and said, "There's nothing seriously wrong, thanks to Mario's cautious nature. There weren't any major issues with our conversation."

To be fair, Roland and Mario did discuss the truth of this world, but their conversation was very cryptic.

Mario never explicitly admitted that the gods were mad. Instead, he always said, "We are the children of the gods."

Some of the questions Roland asked might have been sensitive, but Mario's answers were very subtle. Mario even kept emphasizing that "the gods are pure, they are the mortal enemies of evil, and we, as their children, are also the mortal enemies of evil."

Therefore, although Roland understood Mario's answer completely, he couldn't comprehend their conversation without a deeper understanding of the secrets within the Old Scriptures.

So much so that Diana, Joan, and Florence, who had been listening in, were completely confused.

Olivia does indeed have Diana's memories, but she's been focused on knitting. If you were to ask her what Roland and Mario did or said, she'd probably know nothing.

So much so that Olivia had to consult the Book of Rest. But if she read the text, it would become even more obscure. It was impossible to reconstruct the scene at that time.

Brianna said, "Don't be careless. You did discuss a lot of sensitive topics. If you carefully examine your conversation records, you'll still find problems."

At this point, Brianna's expression turned serious. She looked at Roland and said, "Roland, we need to find a way to steal that Book of Rest. Didn't you tell Johnson before that you could get your hands on the book anytime, and that if you changed its contents, Olivia's memories would also be affected?"

Roland sighed and said, "I hope so."

"What do you mean 'hopefully'?!" Brianna exploded. "No matter what method you use, this matter must be resolved, or we're all doomed!"

Helena said, "Don't worry, senior. Although you haven't figured out the memory mechanism of the goddess Heracles, judging from Diana's past experiences, the probability of something going wrong is still very low."

Brianna stroked her chin and said, "Roland, if you feel there are unstable factors involved in altering memories, you can also change the dialogue records in the Book of Rest. There are so many dialogues; she won't notice if you slightly modify them."

Moreover, it's all written in sacred script; slightly changing a few words to synonyms completely alters the meaning of a sentence. The Vatican encounters many such blunders when translating older scriptures.

Roland's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "I was being stubborn and getting stuck on details. Sister Brianna is right. I'll revise the book after she falls asleep."

The word "sister" made Brianna blush slightly, and she changed the subject: "You said before that you severed some three corpses. I still don't understand after your explanation, but can I understand that two of the three personalities or faces of the goddess Heracles have disappeared?"

Roland shook his head and said, "It's not a personality, nor a face. There is only one goddess. The other three are her from different dimensions of time and space."

Brianna frowned and interrupted, "Don't talk about these things. I haven't studied your theories and I don't understand them. Just tell me what might happen next?"

Roland said, "I can't say for sure either. Ever since I went to Bloodfortress, I've been studying the goddess Heracles. But the more I study her, the more I realize that my understanding of her is wrong."

What exactly will happen to her will likely require long-term observation.

Brianna's expression turned somewhat grim. She said, "I'm not interested in anything else. What I want to know is whether something like Greyhawk Keep will happen again."

Roland was slightly surprised. It seemed that Brianna had participated in the discussions when the priests of Olivia reported the situation to the reformers. So she had some knowledge of Olivia's madness.

Roland looked at the image in the silver basin: "There's no need to worry about that. Judging from her current behavior, her condition is still quite stable."

Brianna breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel like you guys brought a ticking time bomb. Roland, nothing good ever comes from running into you!"

Helena muttered under her breath, "You finally sensed it too."

The tasks assigned to the Holy See were already difficult enough, and now Olivia has become an unstable factor. Everyone is feeling extremely overwhelmed.

Roland is under the most pressure.

Putting everything else aside, given Olivia's attitude towards Roland, she will definitely keep a close eye on him from now on.

Moreover, it's important to know that if Olivia really wants to know something, it's very difficult to keep it from her.

How can we then secretly go to the library to decipher the Holy See?

Without a doubt, Olivia will be going to the library every day from now on!

What's even more frustrating is that everyone wants to postpone the baptism.

But judging from everyone's interactions with Olivia, her thoughts clearly show that she hopes to complete the baptism as soon as possible, hold that nominal wedding with Roland as soon as possible, and then take Olivia back to heaven as soon as possible.

Just as the three were discussing their worries, Roland suddenly noticed that Olivia in the silver basin seemed to be turning the pages of a book, but in reality, she kept looking at the 'air' around her.

Just as Roland was starting to feel something was off, Olivia, sitting in the silver basin, looked meaningfully at the camera.

Roland: “!!!”

"Oh no! We've been discovered!" (End of Chapter)
