"Me? I might just become your unstoppable tragic fate."
He leaned over to face Japper with a smile on his face, his words full of regret.
Although he said this, Rogers' heart was already in turmoil.
Benedictine Monastery should be a level that will appear in half a year. If Alice develops normally by then, she will have enough strength to temporarily suppress the beginner silver level after a desperate burst of energy.
In the college line, the so-called disaster released by the Benedictine Monastery was supposed to appear on Eunice's territory, and Alice would happen to be a guest at Eunice's house at that time.
In the game setting, disasters are divided into minor disasters, major disasters and world-destroying disasters, and their destructiveness corresponds to the earl/dukedom, empire and world respectively.
But this is just a rough and approximate classification. Although some disasters are called minor disasters, if they are related to epidemics, they can also cause a huge blow to all living things in the world; although some disasters are called world-destroying disasters, they are extremely easy to suppress and eliminate according to their characteristics.
What the Benedictine Monastery possesses is the Lesser Disaster, whose power itself is not strong, but its strength lies in the alienation and destruction caused to the spirits of a large range of creatures around it during the release process.
"The believers of the Supreme God are never afraid of death!" Japper's face suddenly showed an expression of struggling, but he just heard the young man in front of him whispered to not move, and he could not make any extra movements.
"Death? Don't worry, you won't die. At least no one will let you die for a long time in the future." Rogers stood up and comforted the other party seriously.
"Young Master." An old man with gray hair, wearing a neat and well-fitting black suit, and with a dignified and elegant demeanor, appeared silently behind Rogers.
He stroked his chest with his white-gloved hand, leaned forward slightly, and greeted in a low and magnetic voice.
"Oh, Grandpa Hester, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look as energetic as ever." Rogers turned sideways and greeted him.
Hester is Hans's father and the butler of Earl Breed's palace.
In addition, this old man is also trusted by Earl Brad and will take over some of the territory's internal affairs and security affairs.
"Hearing the young master's praise, no matter how much time has ravaged me, I will never let my spirit decline." Hester's tone was accurate and elegant, with a kind smile on his face.
"Did I do something wrong?" Rogers looked at Japper, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down and trembling, and said with some complexity.
“My position does not allow me to comment on this, but I am sure that Minister Sekina will be troubled by this. After all, Japper is someone he has been paying attention to for a long time.
"And if Japper can't continue to work, Minister Segina will have to be on guard against the movements of other rats again, or the appearance of more rats. He will probably complain a lot about this."
Hurst leaned forward to indicate that he would lead the way, while answering Rogers' questions.
"Grandpa Segina? Isn't he the Lord Chancellor? Why is he involved in public security?" Rogers followed Hurst's footsteps and asked puzzledly.
"Since you were attacked at the Skarlo Fair half a year ago, the former Minister of Security was dismissed and succeeded by Minister Segina." Hurst continued.
"I see. It is true that Grandpa Sekina will make us feel more at ease." Rogers nodded slightly and then asked, "How is my father now? Will he be angry because of my delay?"
"My Lord Earl must be angry. There are too many things tonight that make him angry." Hester's expression became much more serious.
When Rogers saw this, he understood that his father was not only angry, but also very angry.
As for Japper, who was kneeling in the snow, neither of them paid any more attention to him, as they knew someone would come to deal with him soon.
Chapter 80: Making a covenant with you is the best decision I have ever made
In an elegant small reception room in the Earl's Palace, the luxurious crystal chandelier on the ceiling adds warm and dazzling light to the entire space.
There is an elaborately crafted fireplace against the wall, and two square sofas are placed diagonally next to the fireplace.
Earl Brad sat on the sofa on one side, watching the door being pushed open and Rogers walking slowly in afterwards.
"My Lord!"
Melusie, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, jumped up and rushed towards him the moment she saw Rogers.
"Be more decent." Rogers frowned slightly, summoned up some magic power and pushed away the person who was about to pounce on him.
At this moment, Melusie showed her true face. She had soft and delicate light pink long hair, and her immature and delicate curves were wrapped in a light gray dress. People couldn't help but wonder if her outfit would look too thin in this snowy season.
The other person's face is delicate and fair, her eyes are big and bright, like a crystal lake, revealing a hint of agility, her slightly curved eyebrows are long and soft, and her posture is full of liveliness.
Rogers had long known that Melusie, who had the blood of a succubus, must be very beautiful, so he did not find it that surprising.
After all, the girls who crowded around him every day were no worse than him.
But it doesn't seem right.
His eyes fell on the rise and fall of the other person's chest, and then he couldn't help but compare it with Elena's, then shook his head and sighed.
Putting aside these absurd and messy thoughts, Rogers raised his hand and pointed at Melusi, and said to Earl Brad: "She is a member of the Harvester Association. Because of some reasons, I put a binding contract mark on her."
Count Brad was watching the interaction between his son and the wild woman with a frown on his face, but after hearing these words, his eyes gradually became silent and cold, staring at Melusie closely.
"Then, the Holy Son they have been calling is me." Rogers then pointed at himself and spoke frankly without hesitation.
Click——
The wooden armrests of the sofa were cracked by Earl Brad, and cracks spread out.
The expression on the earl's face remained calm, making it difficult to tell what his mood was at the moment.
"Go and talk things out with the association and people from other religious sects, and ask them to be quiet and stop shouting nonsense." Rogers took the opportunity to say to Melusie.
“But, Lord Saint, we want to…” Melusie was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"I will invite you again later. Now, go and do your business." Rogers waved at her.
"Yes..." Melusie gritted her teeth with reluctance, walked out of the reception room looking back every few steps, and was then escorted out of the mansion by the old butler Hester.
The extremely solid magic book tied with a cowhide belt slowly emerged from the void and finally fell into the hands of its owner.
Rogers sat opposite Earl Braid and began a half-true explanation.
Many of the reasons he said came from the magic book he found from Saint Herte, and his opposition to the Saint made him popular among the Abyss Sect.
Count Brad's expression relaxed after hearing this, and he did not examine the magic book carefully.
He put his finger on his forehead, looking a little tired, and said with emotion and sigh: "You have grown up."
The father and son then talked for a while, mainly talking about Logos' daily life and experiences in Saint Hert.
Count Brad did not deliberately explore the secret, nor did he mention the affairs of the Benedictine Monastery. He just occasionally asked a few trivial questions about life and listened to Rogers' words silently.
It was not until he heard that everyone in the Demon King's Court loved Rogers because of his talent and followed his rules that he could not help but praise him with relief.
"Father, among the people from Benedictine Monastery who came to Brad Territory, are there any strong men of the Golden Rank?"
After talking for a long time, Rogers suddenly asked.
“No.” Earl Brad shook his head firmly: “There are not so many gold-level masters in this world. If there really is such a master coming to Brad Territory, he is either in the Earl’s Mansion or in the Green Valley.
"Even if you show up outside of these two places, you will be quickly invited into the palace, or expelled to other places."
Rogers nodded when he heard this, and then slowly stood up: "Father, it's getting late, can I go to bed first?"
Earl Breed looked at him deeply, then nodded and said, "Go."
After Rogers left, Earl Brad let out a sigh of helplessness. He looked at Hurst who came into the room and stood by, and said, "Go and take care of Rogers."
"My Lord Earl, what do you mean?" Hurst leaned over and asked.
"If that kid shows that expression and says that kind of words, he will definitely climb over the high wall of the mansion that night. He has never changed in all these years." Earl Brad rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache and continued to order: "If he dares to leave the mansion, throw him to the Observatory Tower."
"But it's winter now." Hurst hesitated for a moment and decided to speak out a reminder.
Earl Brad paused for a moment after hearing this and fell into silence.
……
Rogers' bedroom was not much different from what he remembered. The walls were decorated with exquisite hangings and the floor was covered with gorgeous carpets.
There is a bathroom on the right side of the bedroom entrance. When he entered the room, Elena, wearing a loose white nightgown and a towel wrapped on her head, walked out.
"Luffia fell asleep after washing up. Please move quietly so as not to disturb her." Elina wiped her hair with a towel and said naturally.
Rogers looked at Rufia, who was curled up on the big bed covered with a soft quilt, revealing a calm and peaceful sleeping expression. He then looked back at Elena and nodded to show that he understood.
Before returning to his room, Hans told him that Princess Rufia somehow knew about his bedroom and was clamoring to go in and take a look.
As a servant, Hans was unable to stop it, and he did not dare to go to the Prince, so he could only wait for Rogers to come back and find another way to deal with it.
"About Alice..." Rogers carefully considered his words, thinking about how to describe what he was going to do next.
"I understand. She does have the ability to protect you. I won't mess around." Elina hung the towel on the hook on the wall, then used her palm to release a little magic to remove excess moisture, and responded calmly.
"A disaster has appeared in Brad Territory, but it has not yet officially emerged. How much information can you predict about it?" Seeing this, Rogers gave up explaining and asked directly.
"Why didn't you tell the Count?" Elina looked up at Rogers and quickly answered herself: "The Count must know about this matter, but you wanted to solve it secretly and use it to train Alice, just like the Exorcist Night, right?"
"That's one of the reasons. This disaster is somewhat special, and Alice is the only one who has the ability to completely eradicate it. In the process, there may be some dangers, which are different from the real dangers in Saint Herta."
Rogers came to the bed, gently shook out the blanket folded on the side of the bed, and covered Rufia with it.
"I know its direction and its exact location, as well as how and when Benedictine Monastery plans to release it." Elina's tone contained some helplessness. She used both hands to shake out her long hair and straighten it: "So, do you want me to change my clothes now?"
"Have you become so useful?" Rogers looked at Elena with a little surprise.
"What do you mean I've become useful?" Elina's face darkened. If she hadn't been afraid of waking up Rufia, she might have already started fighting.
"Oh, sorry, I was talking about your special gift." Rogers pushed his monocle lightly. He didn't expect that Elena could give him such a big surprise. After all, when they first met, the other party only said that she could reach the level of an ordinary astrologer.
Looking back, Elena was most likely hiding her incompetence at that time, but it doesn't matter now.
He put his arm around Elena's shoulders and said with great satisfaction: "Signing a contract with you is probably one of the best decisions I have ever made."
"Oh? Do you have any other correct decisions?" Elina turned her head slightly and moved closer to Rogers, ignoring the cold moisture on his clothes, staring at his face closely, her expression full of confusion and inquiry.
"You are absolutely right." Rogers tried hard to look sincere, and the blessing of the entertainer prevented him from revealing any flaws.
"Go to the bathroom." Elina raised her chin slightly and slapped away Rogers' hand on her shoulder.
"Why?" Rogers pulled his hand back inexplicably, not quite understanding why the other party was angry again.
"Do you want to watch me change clothes?" Elena said coldly to Rogers as if she was looking at an idiot.
Although there are only two chapters, there are 6,000 words (weak voice)
Chapter 4: The Future of Sudden Change (k)
The flower bed in the backyard of the Earl's Mansion was covered with a soft blanket of snow, and the cold wind blew scattered snowflakes into the air.
Wearing a heavy cloak, Rogers stood at the corner of the flower garden, looking up at the high wall in front of him.
"Do you want me to take you over?" Alice suggested softly. She thought that Rogers stopped here to think about how to jump over.
"All noble mansions are basically equipped with detection magic barriers. If we jump out, we will definitely be discovered and stopped by the guards in the mansion. He is thinking about this." Elina reminded with a little disdain, paused for a moment, and continued: "He doesn't need your help, I can carry him out."
"But I am a saint. If you take him away in my name, I believe it will be more convenient than Miss Elena." Alice pursed her lips slightly and responded in a gentle voice.
Ever since she entered the Earl's Mansion, Elena had been talking about rules and common sense that only nobles understood and that she did not quite understand, as if she was intentionally dividing her from noble descendants like Rogers and Elena into two worlds.
Faced with this situation, she would deliberately tell Elena about her identity as the saint, which she originally didn't want to mention.
"Actually, I can help with this matter."
The second prince, Lius, watched the two begin to exchange endless suggestions and reasons, and kindly reminded them that they didn't need to worry about it.
He was originally waiting in the reception room with Alice for accommodation arrangements. When he saw Rogers calling Alice away, he followed without hesitation.
There was no need for him to stay in the Earl's Mansion any longer since Rogers was not there.
Hearing the two girls' unanimous refusal, Lius scratched his head in confusion. He couldn't help but feel that the two people following Rogers had a strange way of thinking.
"Let's go." Rogers put aside his messy thoughts and said aloud. He knew from the beginning that he would definitely encounter obstacles, and maybe someone was watching him at this moment.
Rather than leaving the Earl's Mansion, he was thinking about what kind of security he could get before going out.
Alice has the trump card given by Saint Herte, Elena can predict her own fortune and misfortune, and the Second Prince must not be too bad if he is allowed to run around like this.
But he had nothing, and the conditions for the gods of the bottomless pit to grant him power were very harsh. It could only be granted when he was on a mission to teach the prince.
Therefore, after he leaves the house, he must gather some more security.
I hope my dad can be smarter and give me some good things without me asking.
Otherwise, he would have to sacrifice the misty succubus he got during the Exorcism Night.
"This book is very dangerous! You must destroy it immediately!" Lius was about to jump out of the wall, but when he saw Rogers take out the magic book tied with a cowhide belt from the void, his expression immediately became alert and serious.
Seeing that Rogers seemed to have heard nothing, he hurriedly continued to explain the dangers of this magic book: "It comes from the bottomless pit and has the ability to corrupt people!
"If you hold on to it for a long time, you will inevitably gradually become full of lies, selfish, distorted order, and have no morals, a character close to the devil!"
Elina looked puzzled upon hearing this. She wanted to say something, but she felt that Elius's extraordinary wisdom, which was acquired through the education of the Pantheon, seemed to require no words, so she remained silent.
"The grimoire was discovered by Logos in Saint Herte. His possession of the grimoire was recognized by the professors of the school. The professors can judge whether the book will cause harm to Logos." Alice was afraid that Lius would keep pestering her about this matter, so she explained seriously.
