Your notoriety is known to everyone.

The entrance to the villa is a spacious round arch door, and not far from the door are two carriages specially equipped for Luo Gesi for travel.

The attendant who led the way introduced Luo Gesi one by one to the three servants in the management who would serve him in daily life in the villa, and then resigned in due course.

"You can come out now."

After arriving at the bedroom on the second floor, Rogers opened the suitcase and released Lufia, who had been huddled in it for a long time.

There is a large bed covered with silk bedding and pillows, small bookshelves and artworks placed in the corner of the room, and a soft sofa and coffee table serving as a seating area.

The curtains are divided into two layers. They are currently covered with tulle material, allowing sunlight to shine into the room through the curtains, creating soft natural light and filling the entire space with a pleasant and warm atmosphere.

After Lufia was freed from the box, she kept stretching and moving her body to get rid of some discomfort and stiffness, and was ready to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Erina also properly packed the luggage she took out of the Logos Magic Book.

After a while, the three of them crowded on the sofa to relieve the fatigue caused by the carriage.

"As expected of the imperial capital, maintaining a magic circle of this level consumes an amount of resources every year that we can't even imagine."

Luo Gesi opened his palms, looked at the weak flames in his palms, and couldn't help but sigh.

Whenever he wanted to mobilize his magic power to gather elements, he could clearly feel an extremely strong suppressive force, making his spell casting level even lower than when he had just been promoted to Bronze.

There are also many special bonuses that have been weakened to a certain extent.

"That's all. If you really want to take action, this kind of magic circle can't really suppress you, right?" Elena said while looking at Rogers, who was constantly controlling the flames to jump.

"That's true." Luo Gesi nodded slightly. The spiral sword in his magic book has the power of reversal. When faced with this kind of general-purpose magic circle that lacks pertinence, it is enough to circumvent its effectiveness.

Generally, those who can do such a thing have to reach the gold level at the end, and any strong person who ascends to the gold level will be recorded by the empire. It is extremely rare to see someone like Logos.

"There are still a few days until the Harvest Day. According to the rules of the palace, His Majesty will not be in a hurry to summon you in the next few days. I know that there is a super delicious dessert house in the West District, and there is also a circus that is also very fun..."

Lufia enthusiastically introduced her knowledge of the Imperial Capital to Logos and Alina. She looked at the sky outside the window, as if she wanted to go out and play right now.

However, before she could finish her explanation, the attendant came and knocked on the door, telling Logos that many magicians were coming to visit.

"It seems I have no free time today." Rogers pretended to be helpless and rubbed Lufia's little head before leaving.

……

There was no suitable living room in the small villa, so Rogers invited many magicians to the flower garden in the backyard. They started chatting while admiring the flowers that were still blooming in autumn on the wide road.

"Long time no see, do you still remember me, old man?"

Kurien, who was wearing a magic robe, stroked his gray beard and greeted Luo Gesi with a smile.

Beside him were more than a dozen middle-aged or elderly visitors, also wearing magic robes, all of whom introduced their names to Luo Gesi one by one.

Among them is either the leader of a certain school or a great magician who is famous in a certain famous field.

"Of course! You helped me resist the cultists in Braidland, and after Earl de Monte cursed me and pushed me to sleepless land, I will always remember your help by staying by my side."

Luo Gesi also greeted them with a smile, and then met many other seniors one by one in a rather humble manner.

Unlike the nobles who were filled with all kinds of social rhetoric, their conversations were extremely relaxed, and most of the topics revolved around the new spell magic created by Logos.

"You want to reveal all your research on curse magic?!"

Kurien's face was filled with deep surprise, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were tightened, and the wrinkles on his forehead were even more profound due to surprise.

Many of the great magicians who were traveling with them were also more or less inconceivable.

"Yes, as long as you are a member of the Magic Academic Community, you can check my research at will, whether it is current or future.

"And not only the spell magic, but also some of my original magic skills will be made public, such as this."

Logos stated very seriously, and at the same time he stopped while walking forward with the stick, raised his left hand and gathered it in the palm of his hand to form a weak Möbius strip.

"You..." Kurien wanted to comment several times. He carefully observed Luo Gesi's serious expression that didn't look like a joke at all, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, a melodious and rich bell sounded from the bell tower in the center of the mansion.

In the midst of the undulating and long sound waves that represented the noon hour, the autumn wind also blew slowly, making Luo Gesi's silver hair dance with it.

A few withered yellow leaves were fluttering in the sky of the flower garden with the wind, and the sun in the sky silently watched the people who suddenly fell into silence.

“I look up to the Great Sage, and look up to his selfless soul shining brightly like a beacon on the shore of humanity.

"With a heart full of compassion, he crossed the unknown ocean, guided by the compass of wisdom and the star of selflessness, illuminating the path to enlightenment and echoing in the chapters of history..."

A great magician named Tyhaus, who was standing nearby and had gray hair on his temples and looked like he was about to enter old age, could not help but chant a poem in praise of the great sage.

"You're too kind." Rogers shook his head slowly as if ashamed.

Then he once again talked about the idea of ​​an architectural community that he had discussed with Kurien.

Whether it is review articles or reward mechanisms, as well as the establishment of many awards and competitions across the magical world, etc., they are all described.

Different from the past, Luo Gesi now has the identity of St. Helte's mentor. Even if Saint Helte may not really provide much practical help, it is enough to show his support.

Before coming to the Imperial Capital, Luo Gesi had briefly discussed this matter with the vice principal, and the other party did not object to Luo Gesi's way of raising the banner.

"You can first set up an organization to try to operate it. If it focuses on coordination and planning, how about naming it a coordination committee? You can also set up some membership mechanisms..."

Tyhouse took the initiative to speak in a consultative tone, and looked at Rogers with eyes full of admiration and appreciation, not like looking at a child at all.

Kurien took a deep breath, no longer evasive as he had been more than half a year ago, and also expressed many of his opinions.

"Thank you seniors for your recognition." Luo Gesi responded one by one with sincere gratitude.

He does not expect these great magicians to lead their apprentices or schools and develop as he wishes immediately after joining, but as long as they join first, it is a good thing.

After bidding farewell to all the seniors, other magicians came together outside the villa. In addition, there were also many scholars from all walks of life.

Logos continued to explain his ideals to them in a formulaic manner. Not only the magic world, but also other academic circles could try to establish a learning community.

The sun rose in the east and set in the west. In the next two days, he repeatedly did such things. During this period, he often answered or guided many scholars' confusion about his various theories.

As night falls, the outline of the building gradually disappears into the darkness.

Wearing plain white pajamas, Lufia was stretching on the big bed, venting the energy she had accumulated during the past two days while huddled in the room.

In addition to Alina and Lufia, who were always there, Alice also put on a beige nightgown and sat on the bed, watching with admiration as Rogers looked through the documents.

"Although I have been socializing in the emperor's court these past two days, I often hear your name, especially your generous efforts to publicize your achievements."

Alina crossed her arms and sat aside, staring coldly at Alice's look that looked quite attentive and artificial in her eyes. Until she saw Alice was about to lean on Rogers, she squeezed directly between the two of them. , warned quite seriously:

"This is the imperial capital, and Luo Gesi will not encounter any danger. You don't need to stick to Luo Gesi for high-sounding reasons.

"And if outsiders know that the Saint is sleeping in Luo Gesi's bedroom at night, I'm afraid it will bring him countless troubles."

After nightfall, Alice, who had completed the emperor's summons, ran non-stop to the magician's mansion. After seeing that Alina was still living with Rogers, she ignored Alina's various hints and expelled her, and forcefully protected Alina. The reason for safety remains, just like the Earl's Mansion in the middle of winter half a year ago.

"What about you? What's your plan for the unmarried daughter to dress like this on purpose? If you lie on Luo Gesi's bed like this, won't it bring him reputational trouble?"

Alice looked at the large neckline of Alina's plain white nightgown, revealing a patch of snow-white skin, and replied without any hesitation.

She had seen Alina's nightdress before, which was quite decent. When she was about to leave today, she decided to stay after seeing this outfit.

She kept speculating on the other party's sinister intentions, and felt that if she continued to let it go, what Elina might create with Logos would be more than just a shadow demon.

"Does he still have a reputation?" Alina asked clearly and forcefully.

"Except for what happened in the past, of course he has a reputation! Especially the great deeds he is currently doing will definitely bring him more glory and reputation!" Alice defended Luo Gesi's reputation with a very sonorous tone. powerful.

"But shouldn't you hear more about his stupid actions spread by the outside world? And do you know what obstacles he will encounter in what he is currently doing?

“Also, I will help him continue to coordinate discussions and future planning from all walks of life, so that everything can be established as he envisioned.

"What about you? You only want to defend his reputation with a few words? Even if you not only speak so bluntly in front of me, but also shout a few words in front of the public, it will only increase the stigma of Luo Gesi's bewitching the saint, right?"

There was a trace of arrogance in Erina's eyes when she looked at Alice, constantly criticizing the uselessness of the saintly lady who could only argue verbally.

"Actually, Alina didn't do it on purpose. She wears it like this every day when sleeping. She has no intention of me at all." Seeing the atmosphere between the two gradually becoming tit-for-tat, Rogers first explained for Alina, Then he helped Alice and said: "Alice has given me a lot of help. Although she is a bit stupid, there is no need to belittle her so harshly."

Luo Gesi persuaded them from a rational, neutral and objective perspective, but he did not raise his head to look at the two of them, but looked at the manuscript in his hand.

One of the pages was sent by the followers of the Abyss, which records the creation of the Chaos Abyss that needs to be targeted this time - the endless precious mill.

On the surface, this millstone can produce unlimited food, but the food is actually ground by the living beings who put it in, and those who eat this food will slowly turn into madmen, and then be manipulated and driven at will by the believers of the Abyss of Disorder. .

Just as he was rubbing his chin and pondering the joints, he suddenly noticed that the surroundings were much quieter. When he looked up, he saw Alina's stern look and Alice's aggrieved look.

"Well, by the way, do you think the bed will be crowded? Also, not long after Qiu passes away, I will be fifteen years old and will soon become a young man..."

Just when Roger was thinking about what he wanted to know, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Is there anyone coming to visit at this late hour?"

He muttered, then turned over and opened the bed curtains, got out of bed and walked to the bedroom door in his slippers.

When he opened the door slightly, he saw the female attendant outside the door who served him daily in the villa, expressing a strong apology. Under the look of the person next to him, the other party bowed and quickly bowed and left. .

The person who signaled the attendants to leave was a lady with a dignified appearance and a luxurious dress. She was none other than Lufia's mother, Duchess Alexandra.

As a member of the royal family, Prince Leiaide will naturally participate in the Harvest Day celebration, and as his consort, the Duchess will come to the appropriate venue even if she is not in conflict with the royal family, so it is not unexpected to appear here.

"The tutor of St. Helte sent me a letter saying that Lufia took a long leave and left school." The duchess looked at Luo Gesi quietly and said slowly: "Can I go in and see her?"

Luo Gesi was silent. He knew that no matter what, it would be impossible to get in.

Chapter 4: Having More Children Will Not Be a Problem (2k)

Duchess Alexandra stared at Luo Gesi quietly, while Luo Gesi blinked his eyes and immediately activated the [Enlightenment Special], his thoughts were running rapidly, and he analyzed the current situation extremely quickly.

First of all, there is no doubt about the power or ability of the Grand Duke in front of her. It can be easily judged from the attitude shown by her father and the prince towards her.

Secondly, the fact that the other party can directly propose marriage negotiations in front of Alina's father shows that the other party's behavior is extremely strong. If he is too obvious, he will most likely get into trouble.

Finally, both the duchess and the prince have clearly leaned towards their own families. The interests between the nobles are much stronger than friendship, so there is no need to be too careful about it.

But he also knew in his heart that he couldn't put all the responsibility on Lufia, and easily push Lufia out of the way to prevent the disaster, so as to avoid the trouble that was not big or small in front of him, because that would definitely arouse the displeasure of the duchess.

Rogers quickly cleared his thoughts and was clearing his throat slightly, trying to exchange sincerity with his usual sincerity, when he immediately noticed someone approaching behind him.

"Mother...I, I forced myself to sneak here, please don't blame Logos." Lufia lowered her head and spoke softly, looking pitiful as she lowered her eyebrows and prepared to be scolded.

The duchess raised her slender hand and pushed the door gently, making a creaking sound, making it open wider. The expression on her face remained unchanged as she cast her gaze at Lufia, who was behind Rogers.

"This is not entirely the responsibility of Her Royal Highness, I..." After Luo Gesi sorted out the current situation again, and was about to add something, a chuckle appeared on the face of the duchess, and she pressed her hand to indicate that he did not need to say anything.

"I won't blame you, because I know Lufia's naughty nature." The duchess's tone was tolerant and kind. She tried to keep her tone as light as possible and continued:

"But now that you have developed to this level, I believe that Earl Breed will no longer have an excuse to delay the marriage. As long as our two families make good preparations, we will be able to wait until the winter vacation of St. Helte this year. Hold an engagement ceremony..."

When the duchess revealed her plan, her eyes continued to move back. When she saw the two girls who came slowly to raise her skirt, her face gradually became subtle and stiff. She was in the middle of her explanation. The voice gradually died out.

Logos was not surprised at all by this situation. When the Duchess could say the word marriage, he expected that Alina and Alice would definitely get out of it.

Even if the duchess has already cast her eyes directly on him, this situation doesn't matter to him anymore. He can just let it go. There won't be any worse results anyway, not to mention the initiative of the two of them. Appearing to some extent can also confuse things and disrupt the duchess's coercive posture.

"What step have you reached?" The duchess was silent for a while and asked in an unclear tone.

"I don't quite understand what the Duke is asking. If I venture to guess that you are referring to that aspect, then I can only say that I am still a child."

Rogers opened his clear and innocent eyes and spoke to the duchess very frankly.

"Saint..." The duchess slowly moved her gaze. She wanted to say something to Alice, who seemed to be trying to defend Rogers, but she swallowed her words because of the complexity of the matter.

"I will still take Lufia to visit Braidland during the winter vacation this year. I will have a good talk with you and your father then."

After finishing her words, the duchess took a deep look at Luo Gesi, then said goodbye and left. She did not ask too much about the current situation, or even gave instructions or admonitions to Lufia.

Luo Gesi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Although the other party was strong, he was not the kind of unreasonable person.

In addition, the other party already knew that Lufia had come to the imperial capital, and some of his original concerns were relieved.

After he closed the door again and casually comforted the guilty Lufia, he sat back on the bed as if nothing had happened and looked through the various letters and documents generated by his actions in recent days.

"As you said, you will be fifteen soon, so what do you think about marriage?" Alina sat beside Luo Gesi, stared at him, and asked this question that had been buried for a long time.

When Alice heard this, she also looked at Rogers from the other side, obviously also wanting to know the answer.

"Marriage between nobles is nothing more than the combination of wealth and power, the maintenance of status and lineage, the expansion of political rights, and most importantly, the protection of alliances."

Logos replied simply, but when he saw that Alina didn't respond and continued to wait, he shrugged slightly, combined his experience of playing a certain game in his previous life and reading some historical books, and connected it with what he saw in his current life, and continued to speak. :

"Let's put aside the facts. From a practical point of view, the solution to this problem is actually very simple, it is nothing more than heirs.

"As long as you and I both have a few children, and then discuss the order of marriage with the major families, and divide the inheritance of territory and power to a certain extent, it will be fine.

“The most troublesome part is who to marry first and how to handle the situation of remarriage after divorce.

"But I think there are other ways to avoid us having to face this kind of unknown choice. In the final analysis, this is ultimately a matter of strength and power. As long as we have enough power, we don't need to worry about these troublesome rules at all. , you can even make rules that suit your own needs.
