Since the people in the Earl's Mansion dared to throw him in front of their own young master, it is impossible that they did not make corresponding arrangements and preparations.

Rogers stood up upon hearing this, a smile on his face. Kevin's answer perfectly satisfied his hypocrisy.

He didn't want to know whether the other party was just saying this in a fit of anger, but as long as he had ill will towards him, he could proceed with the next thing with peace of mind.

Now there is only one thought in Roger's mind, and that is to gain power.

A power that can give him absolute security and enable him to fully control his own destiny.

After searching through his memories about the game, Rogers recalled a ritual that had a chance of getting high-level bonuses for free.

It doesn't even require any magic power, it can be triggered as long as the corresponding symbols are met.

Kevin, happens to be a very suitable sacrifice.

"Master, I brought you what you wanted."

Rogers's personal attendant Hans came hurriedly with three maids.

The maids held a wooden basin filled with water, a mirror slightly smaller than the diameter of the basin, and a blank parchment scroll.

After Rogers asked them to place the three items on the ground, he waved his hand to disperse them.

Elina asked Rogers several times what he was going to do, but all she got in return was a long silence.

In this way, the two remained in a stalemate until the sun gradually sank into the horizon.

The sky exudes a soft orange-red hue, mixed with subtle pink and purple patches, and the tranquil atmosphere of dusk envelops the world.

Rogers, who had been standing for a long time, slapped his legs several times, then he put the mirror into the basin, then soaked the parchment in the basin, and finally said slowly to Kevin beside him:

“Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be dying?

“Anyone who has died knows that it is a very contradictory feeling.

“There is the great terror between life and death, but also the temptation of incomparable beauty and tranquility, as if telling you that all your troubles are about to end.”

As Rogers spoke, he grabbed Kevin by the collar at the back of his neck and lifted him up.

"But in the end, you will be devoured by an instinct that will drive you madly to struggle, forcing you to survive and to fight for any chance to continue to exist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rogers suddenly pressed Kevin's entire face into the water, muttering:

"The devil's hour."

"crossroads."

"Mirror within mirror."

"A scroll without words."

"Drowning creatures."

"Irresistible fate."

"All the elements have been assembled to present this absurd, dull and tedious drama to the serpent of the bottomless pit in the name of Logos Brid."

Chapter 7 The final right of interpretation belongs to me

The water quickly rushed into Kevin's nostrils and mouth, bringing him bursts of coldness and choking, while also making him wake up instantly.

His whole body began to become uncontrollable. He instinctively tensed his muscles, pushed his hands to the ground with all his strength, and kicked his feet randomly.

Rogers held the edge of the basin with one hand and held Kevin's head like an iron clamp with the other hand, strangling his attempt to survive.

The only sounds left at the scene were the friction between the ground and the occasional gurgling sound coming from the basin.

Elina opened her mouth slightly and looked at the strange scene in front of her in amazement.

When she heard what Rogers was chanting, every nerve in her body began to tremble wildly, every heartbeat was filled with fear, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.

The foreknowledge bonus was telling her hysterically that she must leave here quickly, something extremely terrifying was coming!

However, a stronger desire for knowledge quickly occupied her mind. Her cheeks flushed with excitement, and the look she gave Rogers was as if she had discovered a huge treasure.

【inform! You have caught the attention of a being! 】

[The righteous merchant of the bottomless pit casts his gaze upon you, and praises you for your abominable act of pushing souls into destined tragedy without hesitation. 】

[He has generously given you high-ranking and fallen privileges, hoping that you can complete more beautiful transactions in the world. 】

【inform! The curtain of the world is correcting the present world, and the honest businessmen of the bottomless pit will no longer be able to look at it again in a short period of time. 】

【inform! The content of the mission "Correcting Fate" has been changed due to force majeure. 】

【inform! The mission has been successfully completed! Rewards have been distributed! 】

As the prompt boxes kept popping up, night slowly fell and Kevin gradually stopped moving.

Rogers calmly fished it out and placed it steadily on the ground beside him. Then he half-knelt beside Kevin, crossed his hands and placed them just above the man's sternum, and began strong chest compressions.

In this world, the bloodline of the Saint is like a bug. If possible, Rogers really doesn't want to face Alice's revenge.

Since the mission had been completed for some unknown reason, he wanted to try to stop the loss in time.

【Name: Li Ke】

[Type: Fallen high-ranking bonus]

[Source: The Honest Merchant of the Bottomless Pit]

[Effect: The holder of this special gift can seduce and incite the lustful and sign a contract with them. The final right of interpretation of the contract belongs to the holder of the special gift.]

Rogers glanced at the introduction of the ability he had just acquired and then put the prompt box away.

To be honest, he felt a little regretful. He had hoped that he could draw some special bonuses that would enhance his own strength, or that could be used to save his life.

"What did you do?! What on earth was that fleeting feeling just now?!" Elina squatted beside Rogers, staring at him with her eyes as fiery as she asked with a trembling voice:

"This person's spirit has completely collapsed. There is no hope. Answer me! Were you performing a sacrifice just now? Why was there no magical fluctuation at all?"

As usual, Rogers ignored Elina's questions, stopped pressing, and placed two fingers on Kevin's neck, surprised to find a slight pulse still beneath the skin.

His spirit was completely broken, or he became a vegetable...

He looked at Kevin's mouth, from which some water was still flowing out, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

After the task is completed, there is no way to open the taskbar to check the content, and I don’t know what changes have occurred.

"If you want to get the truth, you have to pay some price." Rogers turned his head and looked at Elena with a smile. He stretched out his hand into the void and pulled out a parchment scroll.

"I remember you suggested that we sign a God Binding Contract to ensure that our secrets would not be leaked by the other party. I thought about it and decided that we should sign it now."

"I have added another agreement. If you are willing to provide me with some help that does not violate the moral bottom line when necessary, then I will answer the questions you ask."

Elina stared at the parchment in front of her with some surprise. She also didn't feel any fluctuation of magic power just now.

The scroll was engraved with ancient characters, and the content was exactly the same as the transaction that Rogers had just mentioned.

"This is my special privilege. Its power is similar to that of the God-Binding Contract, but its binding effect is stronger. Unless one can be promoted to a demigod, no one can violate it, including myself. You can use the special privilege of foresight to test the authenticity of my words." Rogers added.

"You are telling the truth, but..." After activating the special feature to distinguish the truth from the false, Elena was still hesitant. She always felt that something was wrong.

"This is your only chance. You have so many questions about me. Don't you want to get them answered? Don't you want to know what I just did? Just press the handprint and everything will go as you wish."

Rogers used a gentle tone to persuade her patiently, and at the same time stuffed the parchment scroll into Elina's hand. Unconsciously, her palm had already pressed the contract.

A burning sensation suddenly emerged and meandered in Elina's lower abdomen, as if it was engraving some kind of lines and marks.

Rogers then stood up with satisfaction and put the contract away with a wave of his hand.

Although he is not yet able to use the precognitive bonus, he now has the ability to use Erina, which is a good result.

Elina covered her belly with her hands in a daze. She had never heard of any contract that would leave a mark on a person after it was signed.

She gritted her teeth and stood up. Although she didn't know why she signed the contract in a daze, the content of the contract was indeed quite good to her.

As long as you give help that does not violate the moral bottom line, you can get the answer to the mystery you are thinking about, and you can even make a lot of money.

"I was indeed offering a sacrifice just now." Rogers took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on his cuffs.

"What else?" Elina calmed down and waited for what was to come with an expectant look on her face.

"No, the contract only requires you to answer your questions. It doesn't say which questions you should answer, and it certainly doesn't require you to answer all of them."

Rogers looked up at the gradually darkening sky and answered casually, thinking about what to do next.

Elina stared at Rogers blankly. When she saw that his refusal did not result in any backlash from the contract, Elina instantly realized that she had been cheated!

"You damned fraud! Hand over the contract! I won't sign it!"

Elena twisted Rogers' arm with her hand and pressed him to the ground in an instant. With her other hand, she kept groping around his body, trying to find the fraud contract.

Rogers didn't expect that such great power could burst out from the other party's petite body. No matter what he did, he couldn't get rid of Elena's control.

Just like Kevin just now, he could only helplessly enjoy the bullying of fate.

"Ahem! Master Rogers, Miss Alice tried to break into the Earl's Mansion but was stopped by the guard. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Hans quickly walked over to the two of them and reported with a complicated expression.

While Elina's attention was diverted, Rogers broke free from under her and quickly rushed towards the gate of the Earl's Mansion, shouting as he ran:

"Go get Kevin a trained doctor! Take good care of him!"

Hans watched the young master running away, then looked back at Elena, who was full of anger and dissatisfaction. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he also understood the girl's resentment.

He was just playing and joking with his fiancée, but he couldn't wait to get rid of the other woman just by hearing her name...

He bowed respectfully to Elena, touched his chest and saluted, then dragged Kevin away as if he was dragging a dead dog.

Hans didn't care about Kevin's experience. He was just an arrogant and rude civilian. If it weren't for the young master's order, Kevin would have died tragically in prison.

At this moment, he was filled with endless worry, as if he had foreseen the scene where the Earl would explode in rage after knowing what the young master had done today.

"Alas, the young master is really finished."

Hans sighed inwardly.

Chapter 8: The Power of the Saint's Bloodline

The gate of the Earl's Palace is very magnificent, made of heavy hand-cast iron.

The facade is cast with intricate patterns, and every detail is carefully designed and carved, showing the authority and history of the ancient aristocratic mansion.

Two gatekeepers dressed in gorgeous costumes stood on both sides of the gate, staring at the little girl in front of them with sharp and vigilant eyes.

"Miss Alice, even if you have the favor of the lord, you cannot just barge into the noble's house. You should leave before the sheriff arrives."

One of the gatekeepers kindly reminded.

"I'm very sorry, but I have a feeling that something bad may have happened to my brother. I beg you to let me in." Alice frowned and asked anxiously.

Just as the other gatekeeper was about to drive them away violently, Rogers' voice calling Alice was heard from the side.

"The gate of the Earl's Mansion is usually closed and will only be opened at certain times. I usually go in and out of the mansion through the side door."

Rogers explained to Alice who was running towards him with her skirt lifted up.

"I'm sorry, I'm so ignorant of etiquette. Can we go to the side door now?" Alice bowed hurriedly and walked towards the direction where Rogers came from.

"Wait a moment!" Rogers grabbed her wrist, but was surprised to find that he couldn't hold it.

What do the girls in this world eat to grow up? Why are they all so strong?

[Alice activates the Sunny Day Special. When the sky is clear, her power will be doubled.]

The light screen that popped up answered Rogers' question. He used all his strength again, just enough to make Alice stop for a moment, and another prompt box popped up.

[Alice activates the Night Special. When night falls, her basic physique will be greatly enhanced.]

This is why Rogers doesn't want to be an enemy of the other party.

The bloodline of the Saint enjoys the favor of the world. Whenever she needs it, the world will bestow corresponding special benefits to help her.

As her strength grows, the perks she receives will become stronger and stronger, which makes no sense at all.

Ordinary people only have a small chance of receiving the world's blessing when they are born, and the possibility of someone like Rogers gaining special privileges later in life is extremely slim.

For example, in the special case where he now possesses three special privileges, the number of such privileges recorded in history would never exceed ten.

But this does not include the saint, or rather, the saint's bloodline is the biggest special privilege.

She was destined to receive countless blessings continuously as long as she awakened.
