I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

At that moment, Roland understood everything.

This morning, after Olivia got up, she spent some time in the Church of Herakl, and then began to consult the Old Testament. She also spent most of her time consulting the Old Testament on the train.

So much so that when she boarded the train, she also took the entire Dracula family collection with her—the Dracula family was now under the protection of wizards, and she should have discussed this matter with them.

But she didn't even say hello, acting as if she was saying, "You can let me have it, but I'm taking it anyway, even if you don't let me."

Roland initially thought that Olivia's actions were for other purposes, such as helping the church collect old scriptures or helping the Kingdom of Heaven cover up its history. But Roland was wrong.

Judging from some of Mary's words, the church's purpose in collecting the Old Scriptures was to study the gods. They might secretly collect the Old Scriptures, but they would never ask a god to help them collect them.

The Kingdom of Heaven's attitude toward the Old Scriptures can be gleaned from the fact that the Old Scriptures are scattered throughout the world.

Their attitude was more like, 'Whether you know the secret or not, God doesn't care.' At least the gods never asked the church to seal or destroy these things.

Olivia has been in Greyfalcon City for half a year, but she has never had any interest in the Old Scriptures before—she even went to Merlin's laboratory and took the data with her.

So if she had been interested in the old scriptures before, she would have taken them with her long ago.

So, it was only after Olivia went mad last night that she suddenly became interested in the Heracles.

Considering Olivia's book theft, there's only one reason: after last night, she began to doubt who she really was!
Thoughts flashed through Roland's mind, and he connected all the clues—Olivia began to doubt who he was, and then, while examining Roland's snake ring, she discovered 'Diana's Diary'.

She found the diary very familiar, so she compared it with the so-called 'Book of Heaven' in her possession.

Then, Olivia discovered something extraordinary.

That is, one of these two books is the book of the future, and the other is the book of the present.
Or rather, the Book of Rest originates from Diana's diary, which in turn has a source from the past!
The source must be in the hands of the creator of 'Diana's Diary'—namely, Roland!

Therefore, all the things Olivia did today had only one purpose—to find out if Roland had any strange books in his possession!
Olivia was right. Both Diana's Diary and the Book of Rest originated from a book in Roland's possession.

And this book is Roland's 'Alayer's Notebook'!
Back then, Roland spent over twenty years on the Storm, creating a replica based on the 'Alayer's Notebook'.

This fake doesn't have many functions, but like the Alaye Journal, it can record everything its owner experienced by peering into the underworld.

As its creator, Roland also knew how to modify it.

The Book of Alaye cannot directly control 'Diana's Diary', much less the 'Book of Rest'.

But both books were born from the Book of Alayer!
If someone were to follow the timeline and relentlessly explore the past according to the 'Book of Rest', the ultimate source would be the Book of Alaye!
If someone could position themselves at a certain time anchor point like Roland, then as long as they hold the Book of Alaye, they could summon the Book of Rest from any timeline at any time from the lower world!

All of Olivia's memories and actions are greatly influenced by the Book of Rest.

This means that as long as Roland has the Alaye Manual, he can manipulate Olivia at will, just like he controls Diana!
Admittedly, Olivia wasn't sure if she was Heracles. But she absolutely had to get her hands on that 'Book of Origins'!
If Heracles is Helena, things are alright, but she still needs to be taken away. After all, if she's taken away, Olivia will be able to control that terrible Helena.

And if I were Heracles myself, I would definitely take it!

Because that's Heracles' biggest weakness!

Moreover, only by obtaining this Book of Origins can Olivia determine who Heraca is!
Therefore, she would spare no expense for this book, even sacrificing her proud dignity and doing something as despicable as drugging a mortal.

Everything flashed through Roland's mind in an instant. He didn't know if he was right or wrong, but he was certain of one thing: Olivia wanted to take his Book of Alaye.

After all, Roland was woken up because Olivia wanted to steal the book—because Roland hadn't unbuckled his belt while sleeping, the book was pressed against his waist.

Olivia just pushed Roland to get this book, and her hand is still gripping it!

If Roland hadn't just rolled over, the book would have been stolen by now!
At this moment, feeling the hand that was pinning him down, Roland felt completely awful.

The Aleye Manuscript must not be stolen by Olivia.

What's more, if she flips through this book and suddenly discovers that she is Heracles, who knows if she might suddenly go insane!

Roland was now drenched in a cold sweat; he was completely sober.

He projected his own experience onto others, thinking to himself, 'Since I'm sober now, isn't Olivia already sober?'

Did she hear what I was thinking just now?

'If she finds out I'm awake, will she get violent towards me?'

I'm only level 3 (Tier 3) right now, I can't beat this boss at all!

The hand beneath her body remained motionless, as did the person behind her. It seemed Miss Olivia was deep in thought.

At this moment, Roland was panicking inside, but on the surface he continued to pretend.

"What are you doing, Joan? What time is it? Go to sleep." Roland muttered without turning his head, his eyes closed, looking like he hadn't sobered up yet.

The person behind him didn't move.

'Has she already found out? Has she heard what I'm thinking?'

Roland grew increasingly anxious as he thought about it.

Just then, Joan's voice came from behind!

"It's already crowded here, and you're wearing all these things without taking them off. It's making it hard for me to sleep. Get up and take them off."

The voice complaining was incredibly lifelike, and it even reeked of alcohol. It was exactly like Joan!
If Roland hadn't been certain that Joan was still in bed with her back to him, he would have thought Joan had gotten out of bed.

'She knows all the tricks Diana knows. She can transform into Joan.'

'This woman isn't leaving tonight until she gets what she wants.'

At this moment, Roland felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

The same goes for Ovilia.

Seeing that Roland hadn't spoken for a while, she cautiously peeked over. Seeing Roland calling softly with his eyes closed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Olivia thought to herself, 'This guy has drunk just as much as I have; even I'm feeling dizzy and everything's blurry. He must be fast asleep.'

After thinking for a moment, Olivia no longer hesitated and quietly reached out to turn Roland from the side to the front.

Olivia felt a surge of secret delight as she looked at the book tucked inside Roland's wide belt.

'There were no suspicious books in his spatial ring or dimensional bag, so this must be it.'
Thinking this, Olivia cursed under her breath: 'He carries this book with him all the time, and he even flips through it in front of me. Damn it, I should have noticed something was wrong with this book a long time ago!'

While pondering, Olivia reached out and pinched the part of the book that was exposed on her belt, intending to pull it out of her belt.

Instead of causing any twitching, it almost woke Roland up.

When Roland groaned twice, Olivia was startled and quickly withdrew her hand. Only after Roland had fallen asleep again did Olivia reach out her hand once more, but this time she did not pull on the book again, but quietly began to untie Roland's belt.

Although it was a bit complicated to undo Roland's knight's belt, once the large middle buckle was undone, the belt loosened.

The book slipped off Roland's belt and fell onto the bed, landing between Roland and Joan.

Olivia beamed and reached out to touch the book.

Just then, Olivia suddenly heard a 'poof' sound, which startled her so much that she quickly withdrew her hand.

Then, she saw Roland, as if by some terrible twist of fate, turn over and put the book down on top of him.

Upon seeing this, Olivia's vision went black, and she was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged out.

If Roland hadn't just farted, ground his teeth, and rolled over so naturally, Olivia would have suspected that he was already awake and was deliberately playing a trick on her.

Suppressing the urge to slap Roland twice, Olivia reached out and tried to turn Roland over.

But perhaps she used a little too much force this time, making Roland in his 'dream' feel somewhat uncomfortable. This caused Roland to start moving again.

Roland gritted his teeth, reached out and hugged Joan from behind, and then Roland and Joan pressed together. The book was then placed under their bodies.

Now there's no way to turn Roland over again.

Olivia raised her eyebrows, feeling a surge of anger.

She rubbed her throbbing forehead, cursing inwardly, "Grinding teeth, bullshit, why is this guy so restless when he sleeps!"

Crouching down, Olivia saw the books that were pressing down on Roland's body.

She reached out and tried to pull on the book, but couldn't budge it for a long time.

Suspicious, Olivia stood up and looked at Roland to make sure his hand wasn't gripping the book on the other side.

'Strange, why didn't I pull it just now?'

Rubbing her increasingly dizzy forehead, Olivia felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, and a buzzing sound came through her ears.

"I definitely need to drink less next time. I feel awful."

She took a step back unsteadily and sat down in the chair. After calming down for a while, she stared at Roland's back and hesitated.

Olivia is in very poor condition, so she hasn't dared to use her divine power or mental strength. She's afraid that if she tries to manipulate her power, she might cause too much noise and wake Roland up.

Given the current situation, if we don't get that kid airborne, we probably won't be able to get the book out.

After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind and tried hard to concentrate.

Immediately afterwards, Roland floated crookedly into the air by an invisible force.

As the book on the bed gradually came into view, Olivia felt a slight surge of joy.

In that brief moment of distraction, Olivia lost her grip on her power, and Roland, who was in mid-air, suddenly lost his balance and fell onto the bed with a thud.

This startled not only Roland, but also Joan and Helena. The room instantly became a chaotic mess, and Olivia turned pale with fright.

Olivia breathed a sigh of relief only after she realized that Roland and the other two were just talking in their sleep and complaining.

Touching the cold sweat on his forehead, Olivia felt a wave of fear wash over him.

In the past, Olivia wouldn't have been afraid of the kid waking up—so what if he did? He couldn't beat her anyway.

But after playing the 'observer game' with this kid today, Olivia was a little hesitant to act rashly.

In a physical fight, Roland is indeed far from being a match for him. But in a battle of wits, this kid is quite troublesome!
On both a mental and cognitive level, this kid is even more difficult to deal with than the madman!
Although his strength is laughable, his 'rank' is high enough to participate in this level of struggle.

If we add 'Heracca' to that...
Olivia couldn't help but glance at Helena, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Although it has become increasingly clear that Helena may not actually be Heracles, Olivia remains very wary of the matter.

Olivia wasn't particularly afraid of Heraca, but with Roland involved, things would get complicated.

The two are currently cooperating, and Olivia can't afford to completely break ties with Roland, so she doesn't dare to use force.

According to Diana's Diary, this kid once summoned the Alaye's Notebook from afar in Malrod in a strange way.

Olivia guessed that Roland must have entered a past timeline by chance, which was why he was able to retrieve the manuscript.

Now that the kid has mastered the 'observer' concept, he can retrieve the book from the past anytime, anywhere without needing any coincidences.

Therefore, once Roland wakes up today and discovers what she has done, she will have stolen the book for nothing!

And if he realizes how important this book is to him, that would be even worse!
If I were to continue like before, treating myself as some kind of shepherdess and being toyed with by this kid through his diary like a maid...
Thinking of this, Olivia's face gradually darkened.

Yes, what am I hesitating about?

So what if this kid wakes up?

Can he possibly resist?
Once Roland obtains this book, eliminating the possibility of him creating 'Diana's Diary,' the Book of Rest will cease to exist. Even if that kid retrieves the Alaye Notebook and creates another Book of Rest, it won't be the Book of Rest anymore.

From that moment on, I had no weaknesses left!
The Holy Mother of the Third Princess is no longer in this world. Without this book, no one can be her match!
'But what if I'm not Heracles, and Helena is?'

Just then, Olivia suddenly noticed that Roland on the bed was squinting at her.

The moment their eyes met, Olivia inwardly cried out in alarm. She steeled herself and prepared to make her move.

"I thought you fell under the bed. Haa (tsk)~~ I'm so thirsty. Give me some water."

Roland, still half-asleep, asked for the bed—at that moment, Olivia suddenly discovered that Joan was right under the bed.

It turned out that when Roland fell from mid-air, he landed between Joan and Helena. Then, Joan stirred around a bit amidst the noise, and the pupa went under the bed.

Seeing that Roland was about to step on Joan, Olivia quickly stepped forward, reached out and supported Roland, stabilizing him on the bed.

Afterwards, Olivia thoughtfully poured Roland a glass of 'water'.

Looking at the glass of water that smelled strongly of alcohol, Roland fell into deep thought.

"Drink."

A young lady who had just disguised herself as Joan urged. (End of Chapter)
