I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

When Roland 'saw' Helena again just now, he could clearly feel her.

He knew that he couldn't talk to the count directly, so he secretly told Helena to help him out quickly!
Helena had been here for three months and knew more about the Revolutionary Army than Roland did. Of course, she couldn't talk to the Count directly—but she could convey that the Revolutionary Army didn't want to talk!

In the Earl's heart, his son is not mature at all!
And he is still angry with his son!

Therefore, as long as Helena comes in and acts as a peacemaker in the quarrel between father and son, and then Roland pretends to leave in anger, the matter will change from "the revolutionary army doesn't want to talk to you" to "the son is acting in anger"!

The revolutionary army did not express an attitude of not wanting to talk. It was the count's immature son who did not want to talk!
How could we not discuss such a big thing just because of our son's impulsive behavior!

But the Earl would let his son go - if he didn't, his son would leave "on impulse".

The Earl would give his son time to calm down. He would even deliberately leave him alone. His son would calm down that night under the persuasion of his daughter-in-law, and then talk to his father again in a humble manner the next day.

This is Roland's script.

It's normal for father and son to quarrel.

As long as Helena suddenly knocked on the door and interrupted him, he could get away. He would have time to find the real owner and communicate with him.

The script is simple, but effective.

But something seems to be wrong with the script. Because there is no letter at all in the script.

At this time, Helena had already walked into the house - she had no letter in her hand, but behind her was the diocesan bishop, a noble vassal, and a woman who looked a little haggard but had a strong face.

He and the noble vassal were the ones who had been with Olivia before, and that woman's clothes were exactly the same as those of 'Judge Olivia'!
For a moment, Roland thought the woman was Olivia.

The woman came into the house and glanced at Roland, seemingly having guessed his identity. She nodded to him and then went into the house as well.

Roland suddenly realized that this woman was the one Olivia was impersonating, so now the real revolutionary army has arrived!

She knew Edward, but she didn't know Edward!
Roland felt a little strange, because this woman had been with Olivia before. Since Olivia knew the woman's identity, she certainly didn't want her to meet the Earl and his men.

So logically speaking, she wouldn't let this woman go.

But now the woman not only appeared here, but also held a letter. This letter must not have been on the woman before, but after Olivia learned that the woman was a revolutionary, she would definitely find a way to find the letter and read it.

It was strange that she read the letter, then released the revolutionary cadre and allowed her to meet the count.

Another strange thing is that the female cadres of the Revolutionary Army don’t know what Edward looks like!

Edward was the person in charge of the revolutionary work in Grey Falcon City in the revolutionary army. The female cadres of the revolutionary army had been in the city for so long but had never met him!
At this time, the count took the letter, read it, and frowned.

He looked at Roland and said, "You go out first."

Roland was very curious at the moment, but he knew it was not a good place to stay for long.

He glanced at Helena, who pretended not to see Roland and stayed in the room, intending to eavesdrop.

The Count did not seem to want to drive Helena away. His daughter-in-law was much more sensible than his son, and she was also a member of the revolutionary army who wanted peace talks. So he was willing to keep his daughter-in-law here.

Roland's mind raced, and he guessed what the Count was thinking. He thought to himself, "I'll ask Helena later."

Roland walked out the door without stopping.

The moment the door was closed behind him, he heard the strange woman's righteous warning.

——"Count Bal, the gods' rule on the Angel River will surely end. As the feudal lord here, I hope you don't..."

With a bang, the door closed.

Roland's face looked strange.

The woman's attitude seemed to be that she was here to persuade the enemy to surrender and declare war.

Roland thought to himself, "No wonder Olivia released this revolutionary cadre to meet the Count."

Olivia must have suspected that the Count had connections with the rebels, but this female cadre of the revolutionary army and the letter showed that there was a huge contradiction between the Count and the rebels.

This is completely different from what the lords said!

The original revolutionary army must have had connections with the Count. At least they were willing to negotiate. But now they are being extremely tough, telling the Count that the only option is surrender.

This shows that there have been huge changes within the revolutionary army, and these changes happened very suddenly and very thoroughly.

So much so that Olivia, who didn't know the truth, thought that there had always been a conflict between the Count and the revolutionary army!
Even if there is no conflict between the two sides, judging from the tough attitude expressed by the Revolutionary Army today, the two sides will not join forces.

Olivia hoped that the talks between the two sides would fail, so she released the female cadres of the revolutionary army to meet with the count.

Roland thought to himself, "The Crusader army is approaching. The rebels and the nobles can't start a fight at this time!"
Even if this battle needs to be fought, I have to understand the whole situation, otherwise I won't have any idea how to intervene!
Edward must know a lot of things, and we must get him out as soon as possible.'

When the two sides clash, the fisherman benefits. If the Revolutionary Army and Grey Falcon City come to blows, Angel River will fall to the Crusaders.

The people who occupy the Angel River can be Count Bal or the revolutionary army - because both sides can become friends of the wizards, at least they can talk and cooperate.

But we must never give this place to the Crusaders!

Therefore, Roland had to intervene in this matter, and he needed Edward's help.

Roland was thinking in his mind, but he did not stop walking.

He had unknowingly walked out of the nearby gate and into the snow and wind.

The snow was very cold. When the wind blew, Roland felt his bones go cold and he shivered all over.

He looked at the heavy snow and couldn't help frowning.

There was one thing that puzzled Roland: why he had entered the River Styx.

It is easy to get Edward out, but if he is forcibly pulled out of his body, his willpower will be hit and he will enter a state of spiritual weakness.

This side effect was easy to solve, but Roland was worried that he would be washed into the River Styx.

Roland turned his head to look at the war preparation hall inside the door, thinking to himself: "The buildings in Grey Falcon City can block the erosion of the power of the 'River Styx'. This castle must have a special design."

The people of Riverside must know how to temporarily block the cold current from the Styx. At least the nobles do. There are many areas in this castle that can block the cold current. For example, Edward's bedroom, but his willpower and spiritual strength are no match for mine. Pulling him out of the bedroom is not safe enough!
There must be a special place in the castle that is safer and won't be washed away by the cold current of the Styx!

After feeling the power in himself, Roland felt that it would not be a problem for him to use some means now.

He walked into the heavy snow and headed towards the third courtyard of the castle.

The snowstorm was strong, and there was a hazy fog. To the average person, even from a distance, it was a vast expanse of white. Roland's eyesight was exceptional, but what he could see wasn't much better than an average person's.

No wonder the lords said that many things should be done after the snow stops. In this kind of weather, let alone fighting outside, you can even get lost walking in the castle courtyard.

If you are not very familiar with this place, you may spend a long time wandering around in a courtyard - after walking around, you won’t even know who is in the courtyard.

Roland kept looking around as he walked along the road, vaguely seeing some buildings and figuring out that he was now in the 'First Courtyard'.

Standing in the center of the courtyard, Roland could see the high wall in front of him. He could vaguely see what looked like people patrolling the wall, as well as the vague outline of a tower on the wall.

Behind him was the magnificent Grey Falcon Castle. The lower walls of the castle were still clear, but above five floors it was immersed in the white snow and nothing could be seen clearly.

Roland had seen the castle model in the conference room before and knew that Grey Falcon Castle was a large circular cube.

This is a very common giant castle structure, but a normal castle is a whole. However, Grey Falcon Castle is like a piece of tofu cut into four pieces, each area is independent and separated, and the "large gap" in the middle is connected by a sky bridge.

The entire circular castle is divided into five large courtyards, consisting of four main buildings and forty or fifty houses. Each courtyard has a main castle building and a complex of buildings.

The first courtyard is where Roland goes out. Outside the main castle, there are several blacksmith shops, several stables, a knight's training ground and a small brewery in the courtyard.

The buildings in the second courtyard are mainly barracks, a large parade ground, a church, etc. The church is not big, but very exquisite, and its spire is painted - this Heracles Church should be very famous on the banks of the Angel River.

Roland suspected that there must be an underground area beneath the church in the second courtyard, and the cult rituals held by the Earl and his men must have been carried out underground.

At this time, Roland had already walked out of the first courtyard and passed the fifth courtyard.

The fifth courtyard is the open space in the middle of the circular castle. There are no buildings in the courtyard. Looking inside, you will find a bunch of evergreen sleepless trees and some cold-loving potions growing inside.

The four entrances to the fifth courtyard were all vents, and the wind and snow inside were howling. Even on a snowless day, there would probably be snow blowing inside.

The environment here allows the sleepless tree and those potions to grow very well, and also isolates the four main parts of the castle.

If the enemy captures a certain part of the castle, they will not be able to directly attack other areas with divine arts or magic because of the cold wind of the Styx in the fifth courtyard.

Miss Olivia, who was in the main building of the other castle, naturally could not perceive the situation in the conference hall in the first courtyard.

The fifth courtyard can be regarded as the magic medicine garden in the castle - of course, it is called the Holy Medicine Garden.

The first and second courtyards are the lower part of the castle, while the third and fourth courtyards are the upper part of the castle.

There are cellars, luxurious bedrooms, guest rooms, restaurants, libraries, galleries, chapels, banquet halls, etc. The Earl's family and the vassal nobles who recently came to defend the city all live in the upper town of the castle.

Roland stood in the fifth courtyard and looked out for a while, thinking to himself, "Edward's bedroom is in a high tower in the upper city."
Soon, Roland's eyes found the tall tower, the main building of the castle in the third courtyard.

Roland thought to himself, "Helena and I must have come from that building, crossed the overpass to the third courtyard, and then entered the tower and met Olivia.

Afterwards, we entered the overpass and crossed the second courtyard - we used the magic mirror on the overpass, then entered the tower and came to the meeting room in the first courtyard.

'The Earl is in the First Courtyard now, and I can't find a place to deal with Edward's affairs in the First Courtyard.

In the second courtyard, there is an altar. I was washed into the River Styx there, and there was no place nearby to pull Edward out.

So I had to find a place between the third and fourth courtyards.

But I must avoid Olivia. There are guest rooms in the third and fourth courtyards. I wonder where she will stay.'

Roland decided to ask someone.

He passed through the fifth courtyard and entered the fourth main building of the castle, which was part of the fourth courtyard. Olivia had been strolling around the third courtyard before, and Roland had never been here before.

After entering the door, several servants came towards him. They brushed off the snow on Roland's body and covered him with a warm fur coat.

Roland asked about Miss Olivia's situation. The servants said that the housekeeper had previously selected a good guest room for Miss Olivia in this building, but Miss Olivia did not seem to plan to live there.

Half an hour ago, she was still wandering around the gallery and library in this building. Roland might be able to ask the butler - but the butler was with Olivia.

However, there are many university scholars in the library and gallery, and they should know Olivia's whereabouts.

A servant said, "Master, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and now there is a snowstorm. Go soak in the hot springs early. Otherwise, you will dream about the Styx again tonight."

Roland's heart moved slightly, and he thought to himself: "Hot spring? It seems that this is a place that can block the breath of the Styx and even cure the sequelae."

Roland couldn't help but look at the servant. His heart skipped a beat when he saw him.

He found that this servant was different from the other servants. The other servants lowered their heads and dared not look him in the eye, but this servant stared at him with caring and passionate eyes.

Roland thought to himself, "This servant is a high-ranking member of the cult. Of course, the others are also cultists!"

Most of those who dare not look directly at Roland are cultists - they regard Roland as a god, so they dare not look him in the eye.

And those who dared to look Roland in the eye like the Count did were also cultists—they believed that God had not yet fully awakened within Edward and needed more care.

Roland looked at the knights and servants standing in the hall. Some lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him, while others looked at him with enthusiasm and concern.

Roland secretly groaned in his heart: "If there were normal people here, they would definitely look at me strangely when they saw that I looked different from Edward.

Instead of not daring to look me in the eye, or looking at me with such fanatical eyes.
These people are probably cultists.

Even in this castle, everyone might be a cultist!
At least those who knew Edward personally must have been replaced by cultists.'

Many cultists mistook Roland for Edward, and many of them must have been very familiar with their master.

Especially the servants, they know their master's character and habits better than the earl himself!

They only need to chat with Roland for a few words to know whether Roland is Edward!
The servant seemed to want to take Roland to the hot springs, but how could Roland dare to let him follow? (End of this chapter)
