Your notoriety is known to everyone.

Chapter 87 You saved me again

The world seemed to have entered into complete silence. The sounds of all objects fell silent, leaving only tranquility.

Everything around me was embraced in silence, as if time had quietly stopped.

In this eerie atmosphere, the world seems to have turned into a watercolor painting, with light colors floating in the air, soft and quiet.

The lines of objects are blurred, as if they are shrouded in fog, giving people a hazy feeling.

Rogers looked around and it seemed that he was still in front of the door of the court, but the court was also blurry and shaking with the passage of time.

"Let go for a moment."

He broke free from Alice and Elina's grasp, and then took out the silver round plate used to teleport back to the Earl's Palace.

The fact that there was no response after he slowly inputted magic power made him realize that he was completely out of the real world.

[Notice! Several gods from the sleepless city are looking at you. ]

[The Ignorance Bonus is passively triggered due to your wavering mind. If the judgment fails, the Bonus Passive will temporarily become ineffective. ]

【Information! The gods of the bottomless pit met the gaze of the gods of the sleepless land.】

【Notice! Ignorance bonus passive recovery. 】

Just a moment ago, Rogers suddenly felt that he could not move, as if he was bound by an invisible force. Countless mixed emotions and chaotic thoughts emerged, but they immediately disappeared as soon as the last prompt box popped up.

Suddenly, tiny mutterings began to linger in everyone's ears, and strange colored balls slowly emerged in the distance. Their shapes were unpredictable, with no fixed shape or outline, and their appearances revealed all kinds of indescribable colors and patterns, as if they were something that would only appear in a nightmare.

Some of these beings opened multiple eyes, emitting an eerie chill.

Seeing this, Rogers raised his finger and drew a circle of black magic ribbon shaped like a Möbius strip in the air, and then threw the silver round plate into it. Most of the lines on the plate collapsed and disintegrated, only some runes and compositions that Rogers recognized were integrated into the circular magic ribbon.

Then, the tremendous magic power provided by the magic book made the ribbon continue to grow, until it expanded to a size of about seven or eight meters, surrounding Rogers and his companions.

"Well, you can let go now. Why are you holding me? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here together."

After completing the most basic security, Rogers looked back at the timid Rufia with a complicated expression.

"I'm scared." Lufia responded softly, and at the same time she slowly loosened her arms and walked to Elina.

"If you were afraid, you should have left me earlier..." Rogers said half of it speechlessly, but when he saw her carefully holding Elena's arm again, he swallowed the rest.

"Logis." Lius called out with a troubled look on his face.

When Lius' gaze turned, Alice and Elina also looked back vigilantly, and the magic power around them quickly rose. Lufia also tried hard to overcome her fear of the unknown, tensed her body and prepared to take action.

Rogers let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "If he releases the Word of God, no one here can really stop him. And if you attack the prince, it will also give the royal family and the Pantheon a handle."

Alice did not reply, but silently emitted a brilliant light from her palm, which slowly condensed into a long sword. The magic power of Elina and Lufia also continued to increase.

"Your Highness, you said that the gods in the Pantheon are extremely generous and that they have granted me an enviable fate.

"But is the disaster at this moment still caused by the bottomless pit? If the gods you believe in really favor me, can I ask you to attract their attention and wash away the curse on me?"

Rogers asked the question with a helpless look on his face, begging for the other party's help.

【Countdown to Return to the Real World】

【00:57:29】

He watched the time pass in the prompt box while staring at Lius.

Roar--

A shrill roar suddenly sounded at this moment, and a huge amount of energy slammed into the Möbius strip, and then flowed and dissipated in the ribbon.

"I'm sorry, I can't do it." Lius's face was extremely frustrated: "I praised and prayed in my heart, but I didn't get a response.

“No god would always keep his eyes on mortals. Even the saint beside you cannot receive such preferential treatment.

"Your talent is too strong, and the magic skills you displayed right now are far beyond my imagination.

"If you are allowed to fall, it will bring unimaginable disasters to the world..."

As he spoke, his sacrificial robe fluttered without wind, and the crackling lightning flashed around him. With repentance and sorrow on his face, he continued, "Afterwards, I am willing to serve the Brad family for my whole life as compensation, or accept any punishment, and my life can be taken at will.

"Rogers, I don't ask for your forgiveness or understanding, but I ask you to advise the innocent people around you. I don't want to hurt them."

It is an iron rule in Imperial law that any harm caused in the process of conquering the Fallen can be considered a legitimate action and no responsibility needs to be borne.

After Rogers accepted Count Demont's curse and was nominally classified as a "fallen one", the second prince actually no longer had to accept any punishment.

"Can we wait a little longer? We should be able to return to the real world soon. If I die and this magical protective barrier completely dissipates, can you still guarantee that you can protect the innocent people around me before returning to the real world?

"Don't worry, my mind should not be corrupted yet, so don't worry too much." Rogers seemed to have accepted his fate with pleasure.

"I won't let you die." Alice turned around suddenly, staring straight at Rogers, her voice filled with unshakable determination: "As long as I'm here, you will never die!"

Then she turned back to look at Lius, raised her lightsaber and pointed it at him: "I don't care if you are a prince of the empire or a priest, I will never allow you to hurt Rogers.

"Even if he truly falls, as a saint, I will be responsible and keep a close eye on him at all times. As long as I grow strong enough, I will definitely find a way to wash away the curse on him!"

Elina stretched out her hand expressionlessly and pulled Rogers' cheek, and warned him in a flat tone: "Don't mention the word death."

Rufia also nodded in agreement with a serious look on her face.

"It hurts a little." Rogers pushed Elena's hand away and rubbed his cheek.

Others might not know, but he didn't believe that Alina couldn't see that it was impossible for her to be willing to die.

boom--

Once again, a far more violent impact than before hit the Möbius strip, causing it to sway and ripple.

Attacks continued to come one after another, and Rogers felt that the magic power in the magic book was also dissipating madly.

Following an ear-piercing whistle, the amplitude of the magic ribbon suddenly increased, rippling out circles of majestic magic power.

Rogers frowned slightly and looked directly at the hesitant Lius: "It seems that I may not be able to hold on for too long. Can you withstand more and stronger attacks while ensuring your own safety?"

“I…” Liuus observed the strong feedback on the ribbon and looked at the increasing number of strange and bizarre creatures lurking outside the ring. The hesitation and entanglement on his face slowly turned into panic. “The divine words I was given can only attack, not defend. With such a high-intensity attack, I’m afraid I can only maintain my own safety.”

"What should we do? The Saint concerns the future of the world! Is the world going to be destroyed because of the conspiracy planned by your royal family?!" Rogers seemed to become extremely angry because of his panic, and then he roared and questioned.

Although these creatures from the Sleepless Land were coming for him, and because they were in the gap, they were destined not to be too strong.

But through the huge feedback of magic fluctuations on the ribbon, he was still able to create some false sense of tension.

"Isn't it Count Demont's greed that caused him to do this? He clearly admitted it himself before sacrificing himself..." Liuus widened his eyes, not understanding what Rogers was talking about.

"Count Demont is a famous royal aristocrat! And the emperor sent such a guy who is extremely hostile to the Brad family. Doesn't he have any selfish motives or acquiescence?!" Rogers loudly mocked the other party's stupidity.

"Hurry up and praise the gods in the Pantheon! Don't they care about this world? Why do they ignore the safety of the Saint?!

"Lius! As a priest of the gods, don't you have any solution?!"

As Rogers continued to ask questions, the magic ribbon began to vibrate violently, as if it would collapse and dissipate at any time.

"No matter which noble god you are, I make this request in the name of Logos Brid! I beg you to lower your eyes! Save the saint! Save the future of this world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leather straps on the magic book stretched open, and its pages flipped rapidly, suffocating corrupt magic power gushed out.

Instantly, the expression on Rogers' face also showed joy as if he had received divine inspiration, and he shouted devoutly:

“God of the bottomless pit, bear witness against me!”

A terrifying aura surged from him, and this force was like a fierce torrent, enveloping him like an overwhelming force.

Those creatures from the sleepless land that were close to the Möbius strip were frightened and quickly retreated, disappearing in an instant.

Lius watched all this in disbelief. He didn't understand why the evil bottomless pit would respond to the prayer to save the saint and the world.

This completely and utterly shattered the theological knowledge he had learned since childhood.

"May the gods have mercy on me... Count Demont's curse is useless to me. You can use the magic of detecting lies to determine the truth of this statement."

As soon as Rogers finished speaking, a prompt box popped up at high speed.

[Lius Augustus has used the magic of distinguishing reality against you, and the passive ability of the Ignorance bonus has been triggered. Please choose whether to pass the judgment. ]

[The judgment of the magic of distinguishing the real from the fake has been passed. The above words are not lies. 】

"Impossible...this is impossible..."

Lius' eyes lost focus, looking dazed and confused, his face filled with pain and despair.

He didn't understand why the gods of the Pantheon showed disdain, while the gods of the Abyss lent a helping hand and even kindly removed Logos' curse.

The ones who care about the world should obviously be the gods he believes in, and the one who wants to destroy the world should be the evil god of the bottomless pit!

His eyes couldn't help but mist up, and tears rolled down quickly, outlining his collapse.

The greatest pain that can be inflicted on a devout believer is the collapse of his faith.

"You saved me again!" Alice looked at the high-spirited Rogers and was about to go up to him for a hug when Elena stepped forward and stood between them.

Chapter 88 Rogers begins to regret trying to stop the fight

[Notice! The gods of the sleepless land hate your strong aura and have expelled you from the gap between the sleepless land and the real world. You will return to the real world ahead of schedule.]

[Notice! The mission of teaching the villains has been successfully completed! ]

[The gods of the bottomless pit are arguing over who will give you the prize, so the reward will be delayed. ]

Rogers looked at Elena and Alice who were becoming more and more confrontational. The scene around him changed rapidly. Things that were originally blurry quickly became clear again, and many exclamations and shouts rang in his ears.

"Why did you come out so early?" Kurien, who was stationed next to the gem, grabbed his gray beard and asked in surprise.

Rogers did not reply immediately. He first watched the egg-shaped gem beside him fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.

Then he glanced at Earl Breed, Earl Devin, Prince Reuel and many Saint Hert students who were gathered around.

Perhaps the god of the bottomless pit did not want to collide with the curtain of the world head-on, and the blessings on him disappeared without a trace after he returned to the human world.

"It was because of the mercy of the Pantheon that the curse on me was removed." Rogers put his arm around Lius' shoulders and said with a lingering fear on his face.

At this moment, Lius' eyes were dull, his eye sockets were red and swollen, and there was no trace of life in his eyes.

"That's good, that's good. I can continue my walk without any worries." Kurien smiled and did not ask any more questions. He left again with his apprentice and companions.

"Go home." After carefully observing Rogers' condition, Earl Brad breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to give orders.

Before leaving, Rogers leaned close to Lius' ear and whispered softly, "I hope Your Highness will keep the secret strictly, otherwise the Pantheon will not let go of all the witnesses, for the sake of innocent people and for the sake of the world."

Lius nodded blankly, his eyes following Rogers even after he got on the carriage.

"Does the curse really work on Rogers?"

A Saint Herta student watched Roger's carriage go away. He suddenly remembered the scene on the night of exorcism and asked his companion beside him.

"Who knows? It's good enough that he doesn't curse others." The companion shrugged and replied, "Anyway, the guy who looks like a priest has prayed to the gods to remove the curse for him."

"That's the honorable Second Prince, don't talk nonsense!" The person who originally asked the question immediately warned.

……

"Please be more respectful, Saint, and don't be so rude as to hug other people's fiancés so often."

In the carriage, Elina's brows were slightly raised. She looked at Alice opposite her with a serious and cold expression, and there was a hint of reprimand in her words.

"Prince Reuel said that you haven't even been officially engaged yet, so how can you call yourself his fiancée?" Ellie retorted without giving in.

After hearing Prince Leid's description this morning, she realized that Elina and Rogers had never officially entered into an engagement.

It was also from that time that her original hesitation and guilt disappeared a lot. Thinking back to Saint Herte, Elena's continuous targeting of her made her long-suppressed anger suddenly come out.

"My marriage to Rogers was already decided by our parents. The engagement ceremony is just a matter of time." Elina frowned slightly and her tone became even stiffer.

"Um..." Rogers suddenly interrupted as he watched the argument escalate and Alice seemed about to say something even more intense.

He was leaning against the innermost side of the carriage at the moment. Seeing the two people looking at him, he subconsciously looked at Lufia who was holding Elena's arm: "Are you still scared?"

"I'm not afraid anymore." Lufia shook her head repeatedly and looked at Rogers with innocent eyes.

"Well, it's good that you're not afraid..." Rogers nodded with a smile, but Alice and Elena still kept their eyes on him.

Foolishly, Rufia was unable to cooperate with him to divert the conflict, leaving him at a loss for what to say.

Feeling the gazes of the two people, he suddenly regretted interrupting and trying to resolve the dispute between the two.

[The Lord of Feasts indicates that you can take off your clothes at this time and reveal your perfect self. He is willing to generously enhance your charm from primitive desires. ]

[The honest merchant said that you can take this opportunity to incite the desires of the people in the carriage so as to sign a more effective contract.]
