Your notoriety is known to everyone.

Because of the arrival of this autumn rain, the weather has become colder, and there is a chill everywhere that seems to penetrate into the bone marrow.

As the raindrops continued to fall, a strange spectrum gradually appeared in the sky with faint sunlight. The seven colors connected the sky and the earth like a colorful bridge, forming a gorgeous picture.

Rogers was the only one in the room who could appreciate such a beautiful scene slowly, while the other students were listening attentively to Professor Alana's lecture at the podium.

As the coursework becomes more in-depth, the content of the courses becomes more and more obscure, and the difficulty is much higher than the popular science content at the beginning of the school year.

Alana described the story in great detail, but her complexion did not look very good, and her tone was different from her usual gentle and cheerful tone. Instead, it carried a sense of fatigue that she had never concealed.

"You seem to be more handsome than before." Elina turned her head and looked at Roger's profile, with strong curiosity in her eyes.

"Oh." Rogers shrugged slightly and responded perfunctorily.

This is one of the passive effects of the Bottomless Pit's Gift of the Gods.

Perhaps because granting specific skills or privileges will inevitably highlight a certain god, this time the blessing of the gods directly enhanced two of Logos' attributes - spirit and charm.

His spirit allows him to manipulate various precision spells more easily and master mental magic more easily than ordinary people.

The function of the trait of charm is a bit subtle. It can enhance the effectiveness of the [Engagement Special], allowing Rogers to incite, seduce and even seduce more easily, and it also eliminates the premise that only those with greed can do so.

And even if it is only passive, it can improve the basic favorability of those who are close to him and make his words more convincing.

In addition, the gods may feel that only giving these bonuses would make them appear stingy, so they added a growth setting to charm that can slowly increase over time and never decrease.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but when Rogers saw the label "Another bonus to the opposite sex" displayed in the prompt box, his mood fell to an indescribable level.

Charm, in addition to increasing the favorability of the opposite sex, can also be biased towards many aspects such as leadership, but the emphasis of the bonus given by the gods is obviously a bit strange.

"It's amazing. She doesn't look much different, but she looks better than before. She wasn't bad before either." Elina poked Rogers' cheek with her fingertips, and there was a hint of unknown color in her eyes:

"Do you have the desire to wear a dress? That would definitely make you more beautiful."

Rogers slapped away the other's outstretched hand and replied as if he was looking at a fool: "Why would I have such a ridiculous wish? Do you want me to suffer the same humiliation as you?"

After saying this, he lowered his eyes to glance at the girl's flat chest and made a teasing sound.

Elina did not get angry when she heard this. Her eyebrows raised slightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her lips slowly rose, forming a soft arc, and a gentle smile spread across her face.

Rogers's expression froze when he saw this, but he wasn't very afraid.

He could even expel the saint, let alone this guy in front of him who looked so weak.

However, after seeing Elena straighten her body and listen to the class, he was relieved. After all, it would be bad if she was forced to disrupt discipline and have credits deducted because of this incident.

He took out a large stack of envelopes from his sleeve. These were sent by the school yesterday. Among them were letters from many professors within the school and various schools outside the school.

After the competition the day before yesterday, the school only left one day for rest and then started classes in a hurry, as if they were deliberately downplaying the competition.

However, Montroy's disappearance still attracted a lot of attention. The explanation given by the school was very conventional. It only said that Montroy in the school was disguised as a cultist and had been arrested and sentenced by the school.

Also due to the interference of the Harvester Association, there were no ranking rewards for this competition.

But yesterday Alice still found Rogers and said that she was willing to admit defeat and owed Rogers a request.

In addition, she also requested to see the Shadow Demon regularly and was willing to pay credits for it.

Unfortunately, after Elena's repeated interference, he never made a definite plan with Rogers.

Alice was accompanied by Eunice, who behaved very strangely upon her arrival and kept observing Alice. Before leaving, she abruptly and solemnly bowed to Rogers to apologize, and took the initiative to pay a sum of credits she had accumulated for her previous behavior of finding fault.

At that time, Rogers just thought that Eunice must have been greatly shocked when Alice hugged him.

He took out a carving knife, scraped off the various wax emblems on the envelopes, placed them on the table and opened them one by one.

The professors on campus expressed concern in their words, and most of them invited Rogers to learn and discuss with them, and the content was not much different.

As for those outside the school, although their tone was polite, the words in some envelopes were full of sarcasm. Some people would take advantage of their seniority to praise Rogers' intelligence, and then start talking about how his inferences were incorrect and some of his remarks were extremely ridiculous.

Rogers did not find this strange. Every school in the magic world respected their doctrines very much. After all, this was closely related to the route and method of practicing magic.

What he did was tantamount to challenging the long-standing values ​​of these schools. It can even be likened to pointing at these people's noses and evaluating them mercilessly: everything you have practiced in this life is inferior and has deviated from the right path.

No one can be optimistic about this reality of being uprooted.

In his previous life, the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras mercilessly sank his apprentice Hampus into the sea after he discovered the irrational number square root of two, in order to prevent his own theory from being severely damaged.

The reason why Logos could still sit safely in Saint Herta and have friendly exchanges with these schools was because of his noble blood and his identity as a student of Saint Herta.

If it were someone else with no background, even if these schools would accept his theories in order to increase their strength, they would probably still sink him to the bottom of an unknown sea.

After reading the letter, he sorted out the knowledge points he would use in tomorrow's speech, thinking about what kind of benefits he could gain from this rare opportunity...

The sun gradually set. After Alana announced the end of today's classes, she flashed to Roger's side, put her hand on his shoulder, said "Let's go", and the two disappeared in a magical light.

Chapter 62: Professor, I'm Still a Child (Two in One)

Alana is the only professor among all the deans who has royal blood, which is the main reason why she can become the dean of Augustus College.

Similarly, because of the special reasons of this academy, Alana was elected as the dean mostly because of her bloodline advantage rather than her qualifications.

However, according to Rogers' understanding of the game's plot, this dean, apart from his age and experience being less than other deans, does not have any major shortcomings, including in his interpersonal relationships, and is fully capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of a dean.

So he didn't quite understand why the other party would do such a thing. Even someone as vain as Professor Idrul was not so anxious.

At this moment, Rogers was sitting quietly in an elegantly decorated study. He leaned against the soft sofa back and rubbed his exhausted head with his fingers.

On his side was an exquisitely carved bookshelf that took up an entire wall, piled with ancient books and precious manuscripts, as well as some gorgeous porcelain and antique artifacts.

The evening sunlight shines through the large windows onto the wooden floor, creating a faint golden halo.

The room is filled with the scent of osmanthus and old books, making people feel as if they can see the accumulation and weight of time.

After a short wait, Alana, dressed in a moon-white robe, pushed the door open and sat on the sofa opposite Rogers.

"This tea is produced in Luoxi. The annual output is very small. The taste is very good. You should try it."

As the words fell, a ball of light slowly emerged on the long table between the two of them. As the light faded, a cup of dark black tea appeared.

Rogers lowered his eyes and saw the deep red liquid, as if a small gem was gently placed into the cup.

He didn't hesitate to express his gratitude and picked up the teacup to sip.

The slightly bitter initial taste quickly transforms into a mellow and sweet taste, like notes dancing on the tip of the tongue.

As the tea entered his stomach, a pure force slowly nourished Rogers' body, making him feel that his physical condition seemed to have improved slightly.

"Yesterday I was pestered by a group of old guys asking questions, so I didn't have time to talk to you until now."

Alana sighed with a tired look on her face. She pondered for a moment, crossed her legs under her robe, and continued in an explanatory tone:

"I have a younger sister. We have been very close since childhood, but she doesn't like to leave the palace, and I am obsessed with magic research, so we have been separated for a long time.

"But we also often exchanged letters. In the first few replies, perhaps out of vanity or perhaps because I wanted to show off, I mentioned your excellence to her and also elaborated on some of the views on spells that we discussed.

"It was not until the vice-president mentioned the pressure from outside schools that I learned about this incident..."

Her face was full of apology, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed regret and guilt.

Rogers did not reply immediately after hearing this. He just put the teacup back into the teacup expressionlessly and started thinking intently.

Linguistics will be published sooner or later. He knew from the moment he proposed it that it was only a matter of time, and he did not have any resistance or worry about it.

But when this matter involved the royal family, its nature became completely different.

He knew Alana's royal status, and he also knew that the reason she came to Saint Herte was not only because she was obsessed with magic research, but also because she had an irreconcilable conflict with the emperor.

But after going around in circles, he still couldn't get around the huge royal family.

Even if he did not stand out, as long as he was the heir of Earl Brad, the royal family would never be kind to him.

After all, his father was either looking for equally powerful people to form marriage alliances, or he was taking a group of Eastern Territory nobles to develop resources everywhere to strengthen the overall strength of the region.

Any emperor with a little bit of normal power would not be able to remain calm about such things.

But the East Territory is neither big nor small. When a group of earls and viscounts gather together and face the oppression of imperial power, they have enough capital to fight against the "imperial power going to the countryside."

Moreover, if the Eastern Territory is pushed too hard, it will inevitably attract feudal nobles from other regions to intervene.

In this way, Rogers will become more prominent in the eyes of the royal family.

The current situation is probably one of the results of him being too conspicuous.

"My child, I know what you are thinking. I can swear to you that although I will not stand on the side of the nobles, I will definitely not stand on the side of the royal family.

"I am deeply sorry about this matter. If you have anything you would like to ask for, please feel free to ask. I will compensate you accordingly depending on the circumstances."

Alana looked at Rogers's thoughtful expression, and felt a little uneasy for a moment.

During the first month of their interactions, she could clearly sense that this child could not be treated as a child at all.

Both her talent and intelligence were far beyond the level of a thirteen-year-old, and sometimes even gave her a sense of déjà vu when facing those slick members of the palace council.

Moreover, she truly liked Rogers's talent and did not want to lose this lovely and excellent apprentice because of these fights that should not involve her anymore.

cute?

When this word appeared in Alana's mind, she couldn't help but look at Roger's appearance seriously.

The silver fluffy hair glowed subtly under the setting sun, and the handsome face looked very delicate.

Especially when the other person appears as a child and puts on an expression of thinking like a little adult, it will add an indescribable temperament.

This scene gave Alana the urge to pull the other person into her arms and ravage him.

It's just a child, why do you have to take it so seriously? You should teach him a lesson.

However, this inexplicable thought was suppressed by Alana the moment it appeared. She wondered if she had developed maternal love for this child?

But I have been single all my life, so why would I suddenly have such emotions?

"Professor? What are you thinking about?" Seeing Alana suddenly put on a dazed expression, Rogers asked in a puzzled tone.

"Nothing. Do you have any ideas?" Upon hearing this, Alana immediately put on a gentle smile and responded in a friendly tone.

"Not yet." Rogers shook his head slightly: "But if I encounter some trouble in the future, can I come to you again?"

A dean's promise, and such a broad one at that, will of course become more valuable as time goes by.

It's a pity that the other party's strength level is far beyond his own, and the [Special Contract] may not be of any use, otherwise he would have wanted to sign a contract with the other party.

"Of course, you can come to me if you have any trouble. This is the compensation I should make." Alana nodded immediately and responded very straightforwardly.

Rogers was stunned when he saw this. Didn't he just say "it depends on the situation"? Why did he become so generous again?

His thoughts turned slightly, and when he thought about Alana's reaction just now, he immediately thought of the charm bonus given to him by the gods of the Bottomless Pit yesterday, and his emotions became a little complicated for a moment.

Would it be effective even against someone as powerful as Alana? Isn't this charm too unfair?

No, the important thing now is not to explore the mechanism, but to determine the opponent's state.

"Well, professor, I'm still a child, and there are many things that are beyond my ability at this age, so I inevitably need your help.

"I am also very grateful for your kindness in teaching me patiently over the past month, so there is no need to feel too guilty about this.

"Also, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, can I take my leave first?"

Rogers emphasized that he was a child and the other party was also a professor.

The age gap and the identity gap can make you a little more sober and not have any messy thoughts.

He is extremely happy if you have a crush on him, as long as it is not a crush that crosses the line, there is no problem.

Sometimes such emotions may bring not only benefits, but also endless troubles.

His reason told him that it would be better if he was just being sentimental at the moment, otherwise he would have to keep his distance from the other party in the future.

"No need to thank me, this is all my duty. There is still a lot of tea left, would you like to drink some more?

"I also want to hear about your response to tomorrow and how you plan to negotiate with those foreign schools."

Alana seemed surprised by Rogers's deliberate words, and then tried to keep him.

After seeing the other party's reaction, Rogers breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was just self-righteous. He gladly accepted the professor's request, sorted out his words, and said:

“I guess their purpose of coming here this time is to criticize linguistics, or to incorporate linguistics into their system to serve as a servant.

"Instead of that, it's better to just say more things they like to hear.

“For example, I can also say that people have always been speaking and talking about language, but they are just constantly following language and limping along behind it.

“The more we think about language practically, the more it fundamentally conflicts with our practical needs.

"Because there is a concept called 'idealization' sitting still in our minds, it is difficult for our thinking to bypass it and we will continue to move towards it subconsciously.

"It's like walking on some kind of ice, there's no friction, and because of that, we can't walk properly.
