Chapter 199 Why me? (4k)

Click——

There was a slight cracking sound of the fruit being bitten, and Alina held the apple in her hand and chewed it slowly, without any intention of participating in the conversation between Logos and Alice.

After Luo Gesi expressed his thoughts and requirements, apart from the sound of Alina's chewing, there was only the faint sound of breathing and the chirping of cicadas in the distance.

Alice's eyes were stagnant in the void, confused and dazed, and her long flaxen hair fell gently on her forehead, as if the weight of the world suddenly weighed on her and she didn't know how to react.

No matter the noise outside or the silence inside, it seemed difficult to enter her confused consciousness. Her expression was dazed, and the complex emotions were condensed on her gradually pale face, like a tightly closed bud.

"why me?"

After a long time, she slowly raised her head, stared at Luo Gesi intently, and asked softly. Her voice was like the gentle breeze blowing through the leaves, but with a hint of obvious irritation.

"Because of fate, you should have killed me in the destined trajectory. Whether it was the Shadow Demon or the incident in the cave trial of the Three Sages School, they were just derivatives of this fate.

“It’s like this with bronze, it’s like this with silver, and it will definitely be like this when I ascend to gold, but I want to make this third trajectory complete to facilitate my carefully planned ritual.

Alina stared down at the apple in her hand with a calm expression. She gently stroked the round surface of the peel with her fingertips and spoke in a quiet tone.

When he ascended to silver, Luo Gesi had already received the huge benefits of these three perfect symbols, and the sacrifices for ascending to gold were much richer than when he ascended to silver. He really didn't want to ascend to gold with regrets like this.

Rogers scratched his head and was about to continue to describe from a symbolic perspective how significant it was for Alice to do it herself, but after seeing the other party's expression, he slowly stopped talking.

After a while, Alice quickly left the space that had become solemn and oppressive because of her, and gently closed the bedroom door after leaving.

"I expected that she would be unhappy, but I didn't expect that she would be so resistant. This is just a ceremony, and besides speaking out, there is really no better way to request."

"As long as I complete this fate, I will not only be able to escape the realm defined by fate, but I may also be able to obtain a certain degree of immortality.

Logos once again explained the reason to Alice in more detail, but the other party's expression gradually became irritable.

If Alice doesn't come to help, there will inevitably be something missing in this aspect of destiny, and the tripartite nature will not be complete.

She lowered her head gently, clenched her hands into fists, and her tears fell one by one, falling to the ground, but she still remained silent, not letting a single sound leak out.

Alice's tone was trembling, with a kind of powerlessness and helplessness, every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart, and she repeated the question just now.

She frowned slightly, and there was a hint of uneasiness and anxiety in her eyes, as if the ripples in her heart were getting more intense.

"Destiny...fate...this damn fate..."

Suddenly, she stood up suddenly, as if she wanted to break free from some kind of restraint and release the restlessness and irritability deep in her heart.

"why me?!"

"A lot of symbolism is taught in the basic magic theory courses in school. If you think about it a little, you should be able to easily understand the logic with the help of symbols."

There was no struggle on Alice's face, and an empty silence reflected in her eyes. Only silent tears were slowly flowing, and there was no telling there. Only pure sadness was reflected in her clear pupils.

"I thought that as you grow older, your extremely bad nature has improved a lot..."

Rogers put his hands behind his head, leaned back on the sofa, sighed and whispered.

During the ceremony, regarding time and space, he had the [Time Sequence Special Code] and the Four Spiritualities; regarding creation, he had inventions and creations that could move the entire era forward; and regarding destiny, the best fuel he could think of was Ally. Si and his destiny plot.

"Ah, it's fate. According to the original..."

She kept breathing, trying to make the choking and sadness subside, but the tears kept falling like a drizzle.

Luo Gesi murmured in his mouth, constantly thinking about the symbols that could involve fate in his mind. As he thought about it, he slowly glanced at his eyes, focused his eyes on Alina, and opened his mouth and said:
"Well, how about you..."

Before finishing speaking, Alina immediately waved her arms and stuffed the uneaten apple in her palm into Luo Gesi's mouth.

She used great strength, as if she wanted to stuff it all in and completely block Luo Gesi's mouth.

Then she stood up angrily, glanced at Rogers coldly, turned around and left the bedroom, and slammed the door back hard, making a dull "bang" sound that echoed in the room.

Rogers frowned and took the apple out of his mouth. The juice and sweetness of the apple filled his mouth.

"It's quite sweet. Did Professor Idrul breed it before? I didn't expect that she was brought out from the school."

He smashed it in his mouth a few times, and in line with the good quality of not wasting, he gnawed the apple clean in a few mouthfuls, and threw the core into the trash can next to the low table.

Dang Dang Dang——

Not long after eating the apple, there was a knock on the door from the attendant.

After Luo Gesi stood up and opened the door with his cane, as expected, the attendant brought news that many magicians and scholars were visiting him.

He just nodded lightly to this, and then when he wanted to ask the other party if he saw where Alice and Alina went, he finally swallowed the question back in his stomach.

The attendant was just an ordinary person, and judging from the state Alice and Alina were in when they left, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to peek at them casually.

"Lead the way."

Luo Gesi slightly adjusted the hem of his clothes with one hand and then gave instructions to the attendants.

……

In a small study in the corner of the corridor on the second floor, Alice sat at the desk, her lips slightly pursed, her cheeks full of traces of moisture, and she kept sobbing softly.

With a creaking sound, Alina opened the door gently, and then closed it gently.

"Destiny is not about luck, but about choice. It can be power or excuses.

"In the turbulent waves written by fate, any grievances and compromises are useless. It will only face the strong who are full of wisdom, strength and courage."

Alina walked to Alice's side and spoke in a confident tone. "I hate Logos, I have never hated him so much, I hate him now more than I hate fate.

"Even if he doesn't have wisdom and strength, I already liked him when he only had naughty and mischievous courage.

"But it's different now. Why he could say those words has nothing to do with fate. It's his own choice.

"He is forcing me to do things that I have always felt guilty about, and... and... what if he really dies, and his ritual was prepared for me...

"He has become more arbitrary than before. In the past, he would just drag me to various places I wanted to go and force me to do various things he thought I wanted to do.

"But now, he knows that I won't like it, and he knows that I resist to do it, but he still forces me with demands..."

A hoarse voice came out of Alice's mouth, as if it was wrapped in sadness and exhaustion, and every syllable carried a heavy burden, as if it was excavated from the depths of a profound memory.

This voice revealed an unspeakable sadness, which was in sharp contrast to the noisy cicadas outside the window.

Alina pressed her five fingers on the table, lowered her head and quietly stared at Alice's sad face, closed her eyes and let out a breath.

"You don't understand the importance of this ritual to him. The reason why he is so urgent is because of his unsatisfied sense of security. Maybe after ascending, he will no longer do such outrageous things. As a result.

"If you don't do it, then he will find other ways, like me, but I have many fate-like special codes, and even I don't know if my attacks will have the ability to suppress immortality.

"Except for me, if it were anyone else, it would be even more uncontrollable. Do you really feel safe leaving such an important matter to an outsider?"

Elena's words were as calm as water, without any ripples, as she told Alice.

The cicadas chirping outside the house became louder and more intense. They were shrill and high-pitched, like a piercing noise band playing non-stop, noisy and annoying.

Alice felt like countless bugs surrounding her ears, chirping at a high frequency, making her feel dizzy and challenging her patience and endurance.

"Are you persuading me like this because of Luo Gesi, or because you don't want to take action yourself?"

She raised her red and swollen eyes, stared straight at Alina, and asked with suppressed tears.

"All."

Alina nodded slowly and did not deny her selfishness to Alice, because she knew that if Alice didn't do it, the matter would probably fall on her.

And according to the symbol, she can only pretend to be fate after all, and cannot become the real Alice. For the sake of Rogerth's achievements, she also hopes that Alice can take over this heavy task.

"let me think again."

Alice did not agree immediately. She pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes were sometimes tangled and sometimes deep, revealing a wavering emotion, reflecting the inner chaos and struggle.

Seeing this, Alina stopped saying anything on the matter. She knew that her goal had almost been achieved.

……

In the empty hall on the first floor of the forest villa, Luo Gesi sat on a high-backed chair with a dark cane on his leg, talking to the magicians and scholars in front of him.

Some of them had serious expressions and focused gazes, while others were beaming and interjecting from time to time, all hoping to draw new insights and inspiration from Rogers' words.

Some seemed a little cold and conservative. They sat in the corner and listened silently. They seemed to have reservations about Rogers's views and did not show much passion.

These people are accustomed to being rooted in tradition and are cautious about new ideas. They have not shown much enthusiasm for Logos in the past.

It was only when I heard that the life of this little sage was about to come to an end that I came to meet him with complicated emotions because I didn't want to miss this figure who was destined to be engraved in history.

"Do you really plan to write popular occult textbooks for civilians and disseminate all your research to ordinary people?
"You have to know that civilians have no way to climb the ladder. Even if they get a glimpse of the mystery, they can't even mobilize their magic power. What's the point?"

After an old magician stopped talking about a topic, he suddenly asked a question that was completely unrelated to the current atmosphere.

Many people also stopped talking in a tacit understanding, and all focused on Luo Gesi, waiting for his response.

"Meaning? There is no so-called meaning in this world. All meanings are just created by people, and there is meaning in the process of searching for meaning.

“Philosophy, religion, and art are all born from this and serve this purpose, and I want to do more to let more people understand more meaning.

"You all call me a sage, but why are you so hesitant when I do what a sage should do?
"And since you know that ordinary people have no way to ascend, why are you worried about these useless actions of mine?

"I know that some of you hope that I die later so that I can say more, and you also hope that I die early so that I can do less."

As Rogers spoke, he put down his cane and tried to stand up using the strength of his support.

With indifferent eyes and a slight smile on his lips, he calmly glanced at the many magicians present and spoke firmly:
"I understand that human nature is like this, so I don't think what you think is inappropriate, but I have made up my mind. If I want to talk about this issue, there is nothing else to say."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back upstairs without paying too much attention to etiquette and dignity, leaving everyone in silence.

When he returned to the bedroom, looking at the dim sunlight outside the window, he still hadn't seen Alina and Alice who had returned.

He raised his hand to rub his forehead and continued to sit on the comfortable sofa. While sorting out what he had to do next, there was another knock on the door.

"Please come in." Rogers looked up curiously and shouted.

As the door opened, a girl wearing a cyan-based magic robe embroidered with gold lines, with long chestnut hair, and a white cloth wrapped in front of her eyes came into view.

"I didn't expect that they could actually reach a consensus on liberating the [Post-Information Special Code] for me. I don't know if this is an honor or a sadness."

When Luo Gesi saw Aelita, the late-knower, he immediately understood the reason. The corners of his lips raised slightly, and his smile was full of teasing.

He had long known from Alina that high-level destiny special codes had the passive characteristic of preventing the holder from prying into the future.

The reason why they would send out those who know later is probably to prevent him from being a prophet, and the almost golden aura on Aelita's body at this time is probably also to allow her to successfully activate the special code on herself, so she deliberately used the secret ritual to forcibly raise her height in a short time. Strength.

Unfortunately, neither the Three Sages School nor other magicians expected that Logos was not a true prophet, and Aelita, a late-knower, might not be able to follow their instructions well.
