Your notoriety is known to everyone.

Standing in the sparse woods, Rogers looked up at the thick, clear black clouds in the distant sky, then looked down at the broken transparent crystal in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his body.

This space stone would cost the club more than half a month's profit to be able to exchange it for one piece, and a single sacrifice transmission would cost two pieces.

He clenched the rubble that had no longer any mystery in his hand into powder, threw it aside casually, and after instructing the Shadow Demon to move to another place to wait, he looked at Alice beside him and said:

"Open the concealment barrier and run at full speed to the residence of Viscount Scarrea."

Chaos Abyss's intervention was something he didn't expect. If the other party's attack was not caused by sudden madness, then it was very likely that he also had some thoughts about the disaster of the wave, otherwise there would be no need to specifically stop the Saint.

"Perhaps we don't have to hide anymore." Alina raised her eyes to look at the sky. When Rogers just finished speaking, she continued.

A dazzling light cut through the haze in the distance, like a sharp sword shining in the thick dark clouds.

Wherever the light went, the dark clouds immediately dispersed, as if they were violently driven away by an invisible force.

The entire sky seemed to be on fire, and the golden glow spread over everything, covering the earth with a dazzling halo.

【inform! Pertus Augustus has launched a large-scale detection spell, and he has obtained your location information. 】

As the light competing with the morning sun gradually receded, an arc of light instantly moved towards the direction of Luo Gesi.

As the figure wrapped in golden light and shadow gradually emerged, Luo Gesi also had some thoughts on his face.

"Hey, don't you welcome my arrival? Thanks to me for working so hard to activate the secret ritual, I came here specifically to rescue you."

The First Prince was dressed in a decent simple attire, with a dark windbreaker on his body. He pressed the hat on his head with one hand and put the golden staff on the ground with the other. He walked slowly to Luo Gesi and looked at him with smiling eyes. Make eye contact with him.

"Thank you for your rescue. I will remember your generous kindness." A smile appeared on the corners of Luo Gesi's lips, surprise appeared on his face, and his words contained deep gratitude.

When members of the royal family go to the territories of other nobles, they must submit a letter of visit one week in advance.

And the fact that Pertus can appear here at this time, and that Rogoth didn't hear anything before, is enough to clearly show that this guy has been hiding in the Viscount of Scarrea for a long time, waiting for his arrival.

"Then do we want to have a long-lost hug to show our friendship?" Pertus stretched out his arms, and when he was about to step forward, he was blocked by Elena who moved away without leaving any blind spots.

"The carriage can't drive into this woodland very well. Let's go out first, so we can have a little chat."

Seeing this, Pertus reluctantly withdrew his hands, and with a slight dance of the golden cane, it turned into an afterimage of golden light and disappeared without a trace.

"Are you here also to help solve the disaster?" Rogers pressed Elina's shoulder to tell her not to be too wary, and then walked side by side with Pertus and asked curiously.

"No, I'm here to protect you, just like just now, if you are injured by the attack, there is no guarantee that you will not become a royal family again and cause trouble.

"And you were injured due to the expulsion of the earthquake. It's hard to say whether something will happen again this time. As a friend, I have an obligation to ensure your safety, and at the same time, I can provide some help to the saint."

Pertus's feet stepped on the dead branches and leaves that had not been completely turned into nutrients. He glanced deeply at Luo Gesi who was walking side by side and spoke slowly.

"That's really an honor." Luo Gesi nodded slowly and had no more words other than a polite response.

Pertus forcefully called him his friend as soon as he arrived and wanted to protect his safety. Moreover, his words did not prove that the royal family was useless and the earthquake calamity was plotting against him. This can already explain a lot of problems.

Unlike that agent, Pertus is not someone who can be manipulated and used at will. Coupled with the intervention of the Chaos Abyss, the Tide Disaster incident has become more and more complicated and difficult to deal with.

"It's too fast, Logos, it's too fast, and the empire can't bear your huge wisdom all at once.

"The nobles have simple constraints of tradition and glory that last for thousands of years, but you throw your power into the world so unscrupulously. What about the businessmen who have absorbed the power? Many of them have not even learned how to be decent.

"What are you anxious about? What are you planning? You must push the world to move quickly and according to your will."

Pertus looked back to the front, looking at the trees with new buds, and seemed to be exploring the woodland with no obvious road. When he asked Logos, he seemed to be talking to himself:

"I know that it is impossible to tell me what you have done, but according to your anxious behavior, maybe I will be able to understand the reason without much more."

Luo Gesi listened quietly to the prince's deliberations. On the surface, he seemed to be nodding in agreement, but in his heart, various greetings had already begun.

He knew that the other person was smart, but he didn't expect that all this smartness would be used in thinking about him.

Also, he couldn't clearly see Pertus' rank now. Generally speaking, the ascent of a rank was also the transformation of an individual's life. This kind of aura that crossed the chasm should be clearly revealed.

Even in St. Helte, there are only props to cover up the aura, but no ones to play the role of rank.

As for the magic spell that disguises strength, it is also extremely cumbersome and difficult to learn. With this energy and time, people are more willing to learn other more valuable spells.

And what Pertus gave him was only a strong aura and nothing more.

“Isn’t it your concern to keep a fast ship steady?

"I think you need to think carefully about the monopoly of businessmen now, prevent anti-competitive behavior, and better protect the competition mechanism of the market, so as to curb their arbitrary expansion and bring unimaginable disasters to citizens."

Logos listened to Pertus talking to himself about this era, and couldn't help but put forward some of his own ideas. At the same time, he also wanted to find more things for the other party to do, so there was no need to stare at him all day long.

"Monopoly?" Pertus was startled, and then he chewed the word carefully, and his brows slowly wrinkled: "That's right! Monopoly! If greedy people start to monopolize, there will inevitably be man-made disasters. !

"As expected! I knew that the person who could write the "New Civil Protection Act" would not be so unconscionable. Tell me what you think."

His face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were bright, staring directly at Logos.

Logos also had a sincere attitude, detailing various problems that might occur in the future and providing Pertus with many solutions.

If the perspective restrictions of class and position are put aside, Pertus's character can be called a saint, and the other party will definitely invest a lot of energy in such matters that benefit the country and the people.

As long as Pertus can push forward more anti-monopoly bills in the future, Rogers thought, and at the same time, his words became more detailed.

When they walked out of the woodland, an open carriage bearing the royal emblem had already parked outside.

Andy Pat was sitting on it with a stern face. There were faint burnt marks on his waist and his face looked much weaker than before.

"When I arrived at the scene just now, the agent was attacked by the dark cloud and suffered some damage, but fortunately it was not serious."

Pertus briefly introduced the recent situation to Luo Gesi, and Luo Gesi also sincerely greeted Andy Pat.

Then the two of them boarded the carriage together with the three girls. The order was not much different from before, except that there was an extra prince at the back of the carriage.

After Pertus got in the car, he kept asking Logos what he thought, and at the same time, he also offered his own opinions, asking Logos to help with advice.

When Andy Pat saw this scene, his unhappy face became even more tense.

He didn't understand why the whole world seemed to be revolving around Logos. The emotions caused by this incident were even more unbearable than when the saint had abandoned him.

He is the agent of judgment, the first and only spokesperson recognized by the gods in the current era, and he should not have to suffer such a situation.

The carriage has a special wind-proof array. No matter how fast it travels, the people in the carriage will not get cold.

Until everyone arrived at the Viscount's Mansion, Andy Pat had never taken the initiative to speak again. He seemed to be suppressing some emotion that was bound to explode.

"Welcome everyone, the house has been prepared, and the village chief of Boham Village is also waiting at the house. In the afternoon, the saint can go to the village to investigate the abnormal situation."

Viscount Scarrea, who stood in front of the quaint mansion, was a lean old man. His brown-grey hair was obviously mixed with silver threads. After sweeping the crowd, his tone was extremely calm and polite.

Logos was not surprised by this attitude, because the composition of his group was too complicated, and the Viscount's posture was the way to reduce the most trouble and was in the best interest.

After going to the bedroom, the first thing Logos did was to check the information sent by the cultists of the Abyss. As expected, a lot of news about the activities of the madmen in the Chaos Abyss came over.

"Trouble, even if there is no gold level participation, the addition of many silvers is bad news that will make the situation more chaotic." Rogers handed the paper to Alina, stretched out his hand to rub his forehead and sat on the sofa.

The location where the Wave Disaster broke out was in Boham Village. The original plot about the Wave Disaster was mainly focused on decryption, but for Logos, who had passed the level once, it was equivalent to an open-book exam.

But the development of the situation is no longer about solving a puzzle, but more like how to avoid the two burdens of the prince and the agent, and then work hard to fight for it.

"The most important thing is the eldest prince. Although he seems to be the most difficult to deal with, as long as you make use of his nature, he is actually the easiest to get rid of."

Erina scanned the printed paper, stuffed it back into the magic book floating aside, and said soothingly.

Dang Dang Dang——

Just as a few people had tidied up briefly and were all sitting on the sofa, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Ignore him, just pretend he's not here." Rogers glanced sideways at the door, waving his hands to tell everyone to ignore him.

Pertus should be concentrating on sorting out the bill at this time, and he had already told his servants not to disturb him. The only person who might knock on the door is the agent.

He has no time to deal with the other party now as this situation becomes increasingly complicated.

The knocking on the door stopped after a while. Several people were either discussing and making certain preparations with the Abyss Pit cultists by remote control, or they were carefully memorizing Rogers' instructions.

It wasn't until they set off again that they saw Andy Pat, who looked even more ugly.

"Since last year, many despicable outsiders have come outside the village. They drive ships equipped with a lot of gears and cast nets as big as we have ever seen.

"Those nets were pulled by the gears and were closed very fast, more powerful than five or six strong men combined, making it impossible for us villagers to catch fish properly.

"After that, strange things continued to happen in the village. Some villagers saw monsters in the sea fog, some suddenly started going crazy, and some simply disappeared.

"Viscount Scarrea has sent many police officers to explore, but they can't find the reason. I think it is possible that the gods in the sea were disturbed by the outsiders, so they sent a disaster to warn us. After all, those outsiders were disturbed. It’s much more difficult than us.”

The old village chief of Boham Village drove a simple carriage himself. He was dressed simply, with dry and yellow hair, and tight and rough skin. He told the situation to the people in the car in a reserved manner.

Boham Village is a fishing village located not far from the center of the viscounty. The village is close to the mouth of the river and relies on fishing for its livelihood.

Pertus chatted enthusiastically with the old village chief, asking for more information about the village.

Rogers leaned on the back of the open carriage and looked through the window at the river in the distance.

It wasn't until the sky gradually set in the west that they arrived at the seaside village on the outskirts of the city.

Wooden houses and stone houses are scattered on the seaside in an orderly manner, showing the vicissitudes of time and the erosion of wind and frost.

The smell of sea water comes from the village, and the carriage passing through it seems to smell of salted fish.

On the narrow street, the passing fishermen saluted timidly when they saw the carriage, and then hurried away.

"Country people don't understand etiquette, and neither do I, an old man. Sirs, if you think there's anything inappropriate, feel free to criticize me."

The old village chief spoke carefully with a simple and honest smile.

He led a group of people into the best big stone house in the village, arranged a few people behind the hall with a dining table, turned around and prepared dinner, and then bowed and left.

None of the people at the table spoke. Pertus's eyes kept scanning around the hall, his brows furrowed, as if he encountered some kind of incomprehensible confusion.

"The fish soup is here. I hope you don't dislike it. This is the fresh fish that was caught just at noon today." The old village chief carried a big pot and placed it on the table. A young man accompanying him was saying: People have bowls and spoons ready.

After the old village chief and the young man left, saying that he would continue to prepare meals for them, Andypat took a bowl of soup by himself, took a slight taste, and commented: "Although it is monotonous, it is indeed delicious. "

However, when he wanted to continue tasting, he found that several people at the table were staring at him blankly, especially Pertus, who looked like he didn't know what to say.

Chapter 4: Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf (k)

Water has quality but no shape. It nourishes all things, and all things return to having quality and formlessness.

The "seeds" of all things have a moist nature, and water is the source of the moist nature and the initial "nourishment".

If soil is the giver, then water is the nurturer.

In the plot of the water disaster, one must be extremely vigilant about everything related to water. This is what Luo Gesi and his companions emphasize the most.

And after he saw Andy Pat drinking the soup without hesitation, he couldn't help but recall that in his previous life, when running a group, there would always be one or two fearless people who took the lead in wading into the water, and he couldn't help but feel sincere admiration in his heart.

"Is it really that delicious?" Rogers rubbed his chin, carefully observing Andy Pat's changes, and asked curiously.

"Is there something wrong with this soup? But my spiritual sense didn't send any warning." Andy Pat looked at the soup in the spoon carefully and asked with a frown.

No matter how stupid he was, after seeing everyone's reactions, he realized something was wrong.

"I don't know about the others, but have you noticed that you knew there was something fishy, ​​but you still continued to sip?" Pertus grabbed Andy Pat's wrist and used extremely strong force to stop him from continuing to drink. Put the soup into your mouth.

Andy Pat slowly opened his eyes, subconsciously let go of the spoon and let it fall into the bowl, causing a splash of white soup.

Water mist surged outside the hall door, and the light and shadow gradually became blurred. Small raindrops fell quietly on the stone steps, making a weak and continuous rustling sound, and the hall was filled with incomparable silence.

"I feel that my thinking has become much clearer than usual, but I still have a subconscious desire to continue drinking soup, and this desire is still growing..."

Andy Pat's throat rolled, and he also understood the severity. After thinking about it, he described his current feelings in detail.

"Would you like to take another bite of the fish to get a feel for it? You've already finished the soup anyway." Alina and Rogers looked at each other and suggested with a friendly chuckle.

Pertus frowned and glanced at Alina, then took out a diamond-shaped transparent bottle from the pocket of his windbreaker. There was a dark purple potion rippling in the bottle. He crushed the top and forcefully poured it directly into Andy Pat's. In the mouth.

Andypat then felt nausea gradually coming over him. His throat twitched and the taste of acid surged in his mouth. He subconsciously turned around and bent over, and began to vomit convulsively.

Streams of clear water spurted out from his mouth and nose, and among them were some small, curled, transparent tentacles that were vaguely squirming on the ground.

"There is some kind of consciousness that is looking for the container." Pertus waved his magic power, wrapped a tentacle and placed it in front of his eyes to examine carefully:

“Small disasters only need a medium; only major disasters need a container to receive the flesh and bring it into the world.

"The outbreak of a major disaster requires several sacrifices worth more than silver. The village chief said before that many outsiders have suffered, and among them there must be guards hired by merchants.

"So the ritual has already begun, and now all the disaster needs is a vessel that suits its needs. In this case, it explains why this bowl of soup is served so eagerly."

Pertus held thunder in his palm, crushing the tentacles into pieces, and then he stretched out his fingers to carve the map of the village with thunder and lightning on the wooden table in front of him.

As the scorching sound left traces of scorch, his eyes became more solemn. It wasn't until he drew the location of the stone house where everyone was, that he continued to say in a deep voice: "This village is alive. We are now In the stomach of the village.”

When he finished speaking, a fishy wind suddenly blew outside the house, carrying water vapor and raindrops into the house.

Logos stared at Pertus quietly, and after seeing that he didn't make any move, he sighed and quickly took out his cane from the magic book, and laid it straight towards the wooden door.
