"Then how do you explain the current situation? In history, apart from the saints, only the prophets who existed in the mythological era could have such a talent.
"And those prophets can no longer be born from this world since the gods no longer walk on the earth.
"If this child is a prophet, how come there is no shadow of the gods?"
Alana's reply left Idrul speechless for a moment.
"No matter how many high-level special privileges this child has, we cannot force him to tell them. Besides, that kind of knowledge cannot be conceived simply by relying on special privileges."
Kuli sighed deeply, spoke a few words to the two, then looked at Rogers and continued speaking:
"Child, I don't care about the theories you proposed to Alanna. After all, they are just basic theories. It takes a certain amount of time for them to be born, develop, and produce results. Moreover, no one can predict what kind of changes this discipline will bring.
"But you must not say even a single word of what you told me today to anyone else!
"Because this thing is too dangerous! Do you know what infinite gathering of magic power means? As long as we find a material that is strong enough to carry a large amount of magic power, this structure will be enough to set off a large magic storm!
"Even if it's just the most ordinary quality magic ore! As long as it's big enough, it can easily overthrow a barony!
"What's more serious is that this thing can be mass-produced! It can even be activated by bronze-level magicians!
"That's all! This is just the most basic application method!"
"..."
After hearing this, Luo Gesi nodded repeatedly, thinking that he should send a letter to his family as soon as possible to see if he could consolidate the mana mines in the east.
He had seen the weapons described by Kuli in his previous life. Based on his current understanding of this world, once such weapons appeared, the ruling class would inevitably control all related resources at an extremely fast speed.
According to Rogers's calculations, the only forces capable of manufacturing such weapons are probably Saint Herte, the Imperial Royal Family, the Pantheon, and a handful of Imperial Dukes.
And these forces, even without such weapons, can easily overthrow a barony.
Therefore, the most fundamental focus is the three factors of "mass production", "only primary application" and "low threshold for activation".
However, thinking about the world line where the third prince ascended to the throne and caused a complete conflict between the feudal nobles and the royal family, he also felt that this thing sounded a bit dangerous.
"I understand. I will never speak carelessly again."
After expressing his sincere gratitude to Kuli, Rogers made an earnest speech.
I thought to myself that it would be better for me to speed up my learning and then combine the knowledge from my previous life to do the development myself.
"Ah, no, that's not what I meant..." Kuli was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved his hand towards Rogers and said, "Kid, you and I can still talk. We can try to do other research together."
"Okay, professor." Rogers continued to nod. What he said was just a test of the water. He would definitely not miss the opportunity to learn from the dean and improve his own abilities.
"Do you really understand what I mean..." Kuli always felt that Rogers' reaction seemed to be somewhat different from what he expected in his words.
"I understand, professor." Rogers nodded as usual.
Seeing this, Kuli didn't say anything more. After all, there was still a long time to come, so there was no need to rush.
Then the three of them began to instill in Rogers the truth that "the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind", and told him that he must never tell his mentor anything he thinks in the future.
Rogers just nodded like a good boy. Of course he understood this, so before he left he gestured to Elena to help him clean up.
It was not until night fell that the three men were sure that Rogers truly understood these principles, and then Idrul sent him back to his dormitory.
As soon as he stepped into the cabin, Rogers saw Elena and Lufia sitting on the sofa.
Elina had a cold face at the moment, flipping through the book "Succubus Research" with a cold expression.
When she saw Rogers come in, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, then said impatiently, "Alice is waiting for you on the lawn, get out of here."
Chapter 50: Night Wind Blows (Two in One)
As the night deepens, a crescent moon hangs in the high sky, like a lonely broken pearl, casting a cold light.
The stars in the sky are sparse, scattered on the dark sky like scattered debris.
Silver light quietly flowed around Rogers like flowing water. He looked up at the stars, was silent for a moment, then glanced at the girl beside him and asked with a little doubt:
"So, why did you come out with me?"
Elina walked while admiring the picturesque sky. When her face was illuminated by the moonlight, she looked like a simple girl, pretty and peaceful.
Unfortunately, it didn't last long. As Rogers spoke, her face instantly sank and she responded in a cold tone:
"Whenever I feel calm, you always say something that makes me clench my fists."
"Ah, then you hold it first." Rogers knew what to do and didn't provoke Elina any more. Instead, he looked at Lufia who was on the other side and asked, "Why are you here too?"
Lufia's expression was somewhat helpless, especially when she saw that Elina was upset by Rogers' words again, she looked even more tired. She sighed and explained softly: "I'm a little afraid that you two will have a dispute..."
"Luffia, you know me. I never like to get involved in disputes. You should take more care of that guy who likes to stir up disputes." Rogers shook his head and sighed, his face full of helplessness.
"Why did the saint's worshippers clash with the aristocracy? Who were the professors swearing at in front of the auditorium? Why did the students of Hilmi Academy almost get into a fight in the classroom? And..."
Elina paused her questioning, then glared at Rogers fiercely:
“Whether you do it intentionally or not, wherever you go, all kinds of inexplicable conflicts will arise.
"I think if the emperor had a little foresight, he should have arrested you earlier. Otherwise, if you were to grow up for a while, you might become a warmongerer, causing lords from all over the country to fight with knights and mercenaries, disrupting the order of the empire."
Upon hearing this, Rogers frowned slightly, looking displeased, and refuted Elina's ridiculous comments in a heavy tone:
"First, it's because of Kevin's stupidity, second, it's because of the professor's vanity, and third, it's because of the students' selfishness. Why can you link their inherent bad nature with me? This has nothing to do with me."
This statement did not cause Elina to refute immediately. She carefully observed Rogers's reaction, and her eyes widened slightly unconsciously: "You, have you really thought about it to this extent?"
Rogers was just thinking about adding three more requests to his account, but he was stunned by the sudden question. Then a look of grief and anger rose from his face: "My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just! You are slandering my upright and kind character!"
"Don't quarrel!" Lufia noticed that the voices of the argument were gradually getting louder, so she squeezed in between the two of them. She gently pushed them apart with her palms and tried to persuade them seriously.
Elina sneered and ignored Rogers, but just pulled Lufia closer to herself, as if getting closer to the other side would cause some kind of contamination.
A gentle breeze blew through the dormitory area of Hilmi College, and the moonlight sprinkled like silver threads on the large lawn surrounding the college library.
Every blade of grass was clearly visible under the soft moonlight, like a vast expanse of green waves.
As soon as the three of them stepped onto the green carpet, Elina grabbed Lufia and said to Rogers indifferently, "You go alone. We will wait for you here and will not disturb you."
"Okay." Rogers simply nodded without saying much. After seeing Alice standing in the distance, he took out the linguistics-related materials and notes from his sleeve pocket and walked over.
The wind blew his silver hair as he walked. Alice also noticed his arrival, but did not rush over. Instead, she watched quietly, waiting for him to approach.
"After nightfall, the wind seems to be getting stronger and stronger, but the night sky is really beautiful tonight."
But after a while, when Rogers stood in front of Alice, she raised her hand and greeted him with a smile, and expressed her emotion in a soft voice.
"You are a saint, so you should speak with more confidence. Otherwise, if you speak any softer, your voice will be blown away by the wind." Rogers handed the manuscript in his hand to the other party and joked.
Alice took the manuscript but did not open it immediately. Instead, she moved slightly closer to Rogers.
A bright smile appeared on her face and her eyes narrowed into two crescents, showing her unique tenderness.
"My Lord, do you remember that you said something similar to me two years ago?
"At that time, you were accompanied by two tall knights, and there were six or seven sheriffs behind you. You looked really impressive.
"At that time, I had just bought some candies and was about to go home to make caramel when you suddenly came over and asked me so many questions that I was so scared that I didn't dare to answer you normally.
"This happened many times later. After all, you are the lord's only son, and I am just a commoner. How dare you speak so loudly?
"But who would have known that, after only two years, I would become a saint and you would become a little devil.
“Two years ago, we were all…”
The smile on Alice's cheeks became warmer and brighter as the narration continued, and even had a hint of playfulness at the end.
As Rogers listened, he couldn't help but feel sleepy and even wanted to yawn. He hadn't slept all night last night because Elina had pestered him, and today he hadn't even taken a nap before being called here and there.
But in order not to destroy the nostalgic atmosphere created by Alice, I forced myself to hold it back.
"I'm sorry that I always cause you trouble like this." Alice noticed Rogers's fatigue and leaned forward slightly with an apologetic look.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Rogers waved his hand nonchalantly. Compared to Elena, the troublemaker who was always looking for opportunities to make trouble, Alice was much gentler and easier to get along with.
“That child…” Alice pursed her lips, the apology on her face becoming more obvious. After hesitating for a moment, she tried to say, “No matter what, that child has tried to kill you, so even if… even if you kill it, it is only natural.
"But if you could choose, how would you prefer to treat it?"
Rogers' brows wrinkled slightly, his eyes revealing confusion and thought. He felt that although Alice's words were directed at the Shadow Demon, it seemed that not all of them were directed at him.
He raised his hand and pinched his chin, his expression looked solemn and focused. After sorting out his thoughts, he asked back:
“Suppose there is such an innocent creature, and someone ruthlessly kills it for some reason.
“I will now give you various reasons, and you can try to think about how you feel about them.
“First, this person has no reason to kill living beings. He is simply curious about what living beings will look like after they die, and perhaps he can even feel a little pleasure from it.
“Secondly, this person didn’t care about the lives of living beings. He just followed his daily planned activities and killed living beings in the process. After killing, he didn’t even realize what crime he had committed.
“Third, this person can only eat this kind of creature. If he does not kill the creature and eat it, he will starve to death.
"Fourth, the existence of innocent lives stands in the way of this person's life goals. If he does not kill them, he will eventually go to his grave with regret.
"Fifth, the presence of innocent lives is a great threat to this person. If he doesn't kill them, this person will most likely die soon.
“Sixth, although the living being is innocent, if we don’t kill it, the world will be destroyed and everything on earth will be completely destroyed.
"For the sake of the world's survival and his own normal life, this man still killed someone even though he was condemned by the world."
Rogers looked at Alice's increasingly complicated expression. He put his hand on her shoulder and warned her in a serious tone:
“Alice, you must know that it is not because of the world’s choice that you became a saint, but because you have unique talents and noble character that you were chosen by the world.
"If you take on this responsibility, you will inevitably face the decision of whether to kill or not. You will also encounter people who want to kill for various reasons, and they are destined to accept your judgment.
"You must think these things through early, and then firmly implement your own principles. Don't hesitate. Hesitation will lead to failure."
He thought of Alice in several lines, who hesitated in the duel because of his kindness, and then was killed instantly, directly stepped into the death line, and ushered in a BAD END.
Alice has extremely strong strength, but does not have the corresponding mentality. This is her biggest weakness and she must make adjustments.
"I want to see the child now, can I?" Alice grabbed Rogers' hand on her shoulder and asked with an expectant smile.
"what?"
Rogers was a little confused by the question. He said so much just now, did you not hear anything at all?
However, he also knew that such matters as teaching people's character cannot be rushed, and after a barely perceptible sigh, he withdrew his hand, picked up the magic book hanging at his waist, input a little magic power into it and spread it out, and an illusory figure slowly emerged from it.
Alice watched the Shadow Demon gradually solidify. Her eyebrows slightly arched, her eyes showing love and warmth, and she gently stroked the corner of the other's mouth with her palm:
"It looks a lot like you here. It doesn't need to make any more expressions. It's like it's smiling."
"Really? I feel like apart from the hair color, there's nothing similar about them." Rogers chuckled and looked at the appearance of the Shadow Demon.
As he observed this miniature version of the silver-haired Alice, Alice looked up at him again and couldn't help muttering:
"Everything started from here, this smile that seems to exist forever..."
Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the snow-white hair reflecting the moonlight fluttered on Rogers' face, almost making him sneeze.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't bother me?"
Rogers took back the Shadow Demon and snapped the magic book shut. He rubbed his nose with one finger and questioned Elena beside him.
"The apple pie I got you from the cafeteria is getting cold." Alina replied seriously.
"Apple pie?" Rogers frowned and thought about it. He didn't seem to have seen this thing on the table when he returned to the dormitory.
"Then please go back and have your meal quickly. Don't waste Miss Elina's kindness." Alice greeted Elina politely, and then said to Rogers:
"Finally, can you make a bet with me? If I can win first place in the first freshman college competition, please allow me to exchange my credits for a Shadow Demon.
"If you get first place, I will also grant you one wish and request that does not violate morality."
"Okay!" Rogers didn't think about apple pie anymore and immediately agreed to the bet.
If Alice wasn't a saint with extremely high resistance to corruption, he would have wanted to activate the [Contract Special] directly.
"Good night." After Elina took the initiative to say goodbye to Alice, she pulled Rogers' arm and started dragging him towards the dormitory.
Alice watched the two of them leave in the midst of tug-of-war and quarreling, and then saw Rufia squeezed in between the two of them, constantly persuading them about something.
The smile on her face gradually calmed down. She held the paper that was constantly fluttering in the wind and looked up at the boundless and cold sky, as if asking herself:
"Want to kill someone?"
