[The host of the feast said that the entertainers hope that you can perform a drama that will move everyone in the carriage after taking off your clothes.]
【…】
After silently closing the absurd message in the prompt box, Rogers suddenly thought of a famous saying of a tree man: If there is no way to open the window, then lift the roof, and then people will definitely be happy to open the window.
"How about you guys have a fight?"
He suggested this in a calm and sincere voice.
There was definitely no way Alice and Elena could fight. Since they couldn't put aside their dignity to fight, they should not have the face to continue quarreling.
Rogers couldn't help but admire his own wisdom, and then he felt that he actually worried so much about two little kids, which really showed how unpredictable the world is.
After all, Alice had just defended him so much, and Elena had helped him so much. No matter which of them said something excessive to the other in a moment of excitement, it would not be something Rogers would like to see.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that it would be better to have a fight. At least a fight would only hurt the body, and one would be able to recover quickly. It was much better than verbally hurting each other.
"Can I hit you?" Elena clenched her fingers into fists, her knuckles clearly visible, and asked Rogers in a flat voice.
"Ah?" Rogers looked at Elena strangely, not understanding why this guy's violent nature reappeared.
"What right do you have to hit Rogers?" Alice asked with a gloomy expression.
"I beat him every night in Saint Herte for a whole semester. What's wrong with beating him one more time?" Elina smiled and grabbed towards Rogers.
"I won't let you hit him again!" Alice said in a deep voice, then stretched out her hand to block Rogers.
At first, Lufia instinctively wanted to stop Elina, but Alice's involvement made her a little confused about her position and she became at a loss.
For a moment, several people immediately became a mess. Alina was able to avoid Alice's obstruction with her foresight, but Rogers's blessing as a comedian had not yet dissipated. He shrank his body to the back of the car, nimbly dodging Alina's outstretched claws.
As a result, the carriage began to sway and shake back and forth, and the originally smooth road surface appeared bumpy and unstable.
When the carriage returned to the mansion, Count Breed's voice was heard outside the carriage: "What happened?"
chap——
When the car door opened, Earl Brad looked at the people who were fighting each other in a motionless state, and his son who was huddled in the corner of the car with a strange posture. He was silent for a few seconds and closed the door again.
"What happened?" Earl Devin asked with a frown as he looked at the clanging noise in the carriage again.
As soon as he finished speaking, Rogers jumped out of the carriage window nimbly and ran towards the depths of the mansion. Elena then opened the door and jumped out of the carriage. She first quickly raised her skirt to salute Count Brad and Prince Leid, and soon followed Rogers' direction.
Alice and Rufia then did the same thing, but they were more careless than Erina's.
"What happened?" Prince Reuel asked curiously, scratching the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face.
“We need to deal with the aftermath of Count Demont’s incident and the increasingly rampant behavior of the cultists as soon as possible.
"Especially the voices of the cultists singing about the birth of the Son of God are getting louder and louder, so we must be on guard against this.
"There are also the visits of members of the School of Magic and the formal reception of students from Saint Herta that need to be taken care of. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you two to provide some help." Earl Brad asked the two people beside him seriously and sincerely.
"No problem. Considering the future relationship between our two families, these are all things we should do." Prince Reuel replied with a big laugh.
"Excuse me, but the family that Prince Reuel refers to should be the Duke's family, right? Does Duchess Alexandra have any idea of proposing an alliance?" Earl Devin asked loudly with a smile.
"This..." Prince Reuel opened his mouth. Earl Devin should have noticed his idea of marrying into the Brad family this morning, so why did he have to reveal it so bluntly?
But as his wife's voice came, he understood Earl Devin's intention.
"Leud, can you explain this to me?"
Duchess Alexandra lifted her dress slightly and walked over gracefully and nobly. Her eyes swept back and forth between the faces of Prince Leuide and Earl Breed. The latter two did not respond and fell into silence for a while.
Chapter 89: Is Reconciliation Possible?
Rufia's mother is in danger. This is the conclusion Rogers came to based on his intuition and the reactions of the people around him.
He was originally hiding from Elena's pursuit in the corridor outside the bedroom. When Duchess Alexandra appeared in the distance, Elena immediately stopped and behaved very appropriately.
Moreover, the Duchess seemed to be following Prince Reuel's side, with the prince as the leader, but the prince's posture did not have the momentum of a leader, and even felt a little cautious.
Including Earl Bray and Earl Devin, they also followed suit and remained silent.
Lufia was also very well behaved, not at all showing any signs of being relaxed and indulgent in front of her father.
The Duchess came up to the group. She didn't say much, but just looked Rogers up and down, then called Lufia away.
At this point, the remaining few people no longer had the mood to play around and began to follow the rules, feeling the passage of time.
Midwinter has arrived, the earth has quietly become cold and stiff, the bitter north wind is whistling back and forth, the smoke rising from the chimneys quickly condenses into ice crystals in the cold wind and drifts away with the wind.
Rogers didn't do anything special in the next three days. He just attended a large banquet to entertain the students of St. Herta, and met with many members of magic schools who came to visit. They had many exchanges related to linguistics and proposed the concept of magic academic community.
For example, appropriate exchanges of basic theories, establishing a peer review mechanism for academic articles, holding large-scale exchange meetings regularly, etc.
Kurien, the leader of the largest school, showed great interest in this, but did not take any practical support.
After all, the reason why various schools of magic can maintain unity and stability is because of the basic rule of "skills are not passed on to outsiders".
Rogers was not discouraged by this. As long as he could continue to expand his influence on cutting-edge theories in the future, there would always be a way to slowly promote his ideas.
After all, once the many schools of magic are brought together, even if it is a group of loose sand without clear political demands, it can help him accomplish so many things.
The second prince also lived completely in the Earl's Mansion. He would often take the initiative to ask the old butler what matters he could help with in the mansion, which made the old butler feel extremely puzzled.
He had never looked for Rogers in the past few days, and even seemed to be avoiding him, looking very conflicted.
The last thing that made Rogers feel the most real was that he changed the furnishings in the room except for the bed and the chandelier.
Opposite the bed was a huge bookshelf with a desk built into it.
There is a long sofa on the side of the bed, and a low long table in front of the sofa.
All the original exquisite wall hangings were removed, making the room look much cleaner and tidier.
There is a clear and cold night sky outside the bedroom window. The bright moon is like a silver plate, floating above the dark background, casting a cool light.
The cold wind at night seemed to be more severe than at other times. It blew up snowflakes all over the sky and made the branches creak.
However, all of this was firmly blocked outside by thick curtains, preventing anyone from intruding at all.
At this moment, Rogers was wearing pajamas with long sleeves and long pants, sitting cross-legged on the soft bed in the room, with an open large book titled "Introduction to the Basics of Space Magic" between his legs.
Elina was sitting next to Rogers in her nightgown, with her legs bent. She was holding a feather pen and sketching intricate patterns and runes on the cardboard on her legs.
Since Lufia was called away by her mother a few days ago, she could only play with Logos and Elena for a short time during the day. After making sure that Logos was safe enough, Alice invited the students of Saint Herte to play in the area where she used to live.
Before she left, she quietly handed Rogers a ring and said that it was one of a pair of rings containing space magic. As long as Rogers input magic power into it, Alice would be able to be teleported here quickly.
In addition, even the gods of the bottomless pit had not looked at Logos again in the past three days, which made him feel a sense of crisis that these gods might be secretly planning something behind his back, especially as his birthday was approaching.
From then on, Elena was the only one who would often sneak into the once bustling bedroom at night.
"How's the progress?" Rogers shifted his gaze from the book and turned his head to look at the cardboard that Elena was drawing.
The Möbius strip magic he performed between the sleepless city and the real world was not complete. After practicing it, he discovered many problems, especially in the part about collecting and dispersing magic power.
Without Professor Kuli's help, his own research would have been extremely slow.
And just two days ago, he discovered that Elina's knowledge of magical symbols was far greater than that of him, who had a photographic memory thanks to a monocle.
So he taught Elina all his thoughts on the Möbius strip and magical skills, and also explained in detail the concepts of system circulation and unified fusion in its corresponding symbols.
“If it’s just about collecting and evacuating, it’s actually easy to make up for it, but I think you can use your ring magic in more ways.
“It implies that an idea or concept relies on its own symbolic properties, and it is entirely possible to try to collect spells and perform rebound operations.
"For example, we can add some runes to stabilize the flow of this circular path..."
Elina pondered for a moment, she raised her hand and used her fingers to brush the hair in front of her forehead behind her ears, then she tapped her chin lightly with her index finger and spoke slowly.
As she was explaining attentively, her snow-white hair kept falling gently, brushing past her ears, highlighting her serious face.
"Rebound? That's a good suggestion, but if that's the case, in addition to the coordination of elemental attributes, we should also design targeted pattern structures according to different types of spells, such as here..."
Rogers carefully looked at the results on Elina's cardboard, pointed his fingers at several key locations, and expressed his own thoughts and considerations.
When talking about the depths, Elina also crossed her legs and simply placed the cardboard between the two of them.
The soft and warm light from the chandelier sprinkled down gently, outlining the silhouettes of the two people gradually getting closer, and quietly spreading a kind of silent understanding.
Unfortunately, before long, and without knowing where the disagreement started, the discussion gradually turned into a tit-for-tat, and the tit-for-tat slowly evolved into a secret quarrel.
Until Elina was completely defeated by the words, she slowly placed the cardboard and pen beside the bed.
"What are you going to do?" Rogers stared at Elena intently, his eyes full of vigilance, his body slightly tense, in a vigilant posture.
"I suddenly remembered that you were very agile that day. I couldn't catch you for a long time." Elina's mouth corners raised slightly, and her eyes narrowed into two curved arcs in her smile.
The blessing from the playful artist had long since dissipated. Rogers thought for a moment, then quickly smiled back and asked sincerely, "It's been so long, can we reconcile?"
After a while.
Rogers was pinned down by Elina, and he used his hands to try to interfere with the opponent's attacking claws.
At the same time, he made up his mind that he must focus on strengthening his physical fitness in the future.
Logically speaking, as a magician, his physique can be much stronger than that of ordinary people, but except for the Saint who has various unreasonable buff enhancements, ordinary people should not be as outrageous as Elina.
"By the way, has your father discussed with you the follow-up of Count Demont?" Elena couldn't completely subdue Rogers for a moment, and suddenly asked after thinking for a while.
“Because this matter is so serious, the lords of the entire Eastern Territory have jointly asked the Imperial Capital for feedback, and many supporters of the Saint have also raised doubts.
“But I think it would be difficult for the emperor. After all, Count Demont’s mission must have his own reasons. In order to distance himself from the royal family, Count Demont took all the blame on himself before sacrificing himself.
“If the emperor severely punishes the Demont family, it would be a betrayal of those who are loyal to him, but if he does not impose adequate punishment, it would be impossible to give an explanation that would convince the people.
"I heard rumors that a war might break out. I don't know which force made it up to muddy the waters..."
As Rogers was talking, he saw Elena taking the opportunity to reach out her hand. He ignored the attempt to control his arm and touched the other's waist, and began to scratch it with his fingers moving around randomly.
Elina twisted her body as if she was electrocuted, trying to get rid of the feeling.
Unfortunately, the attacking fingers moved flexibly to follow her movements, and waves of itching continued to invade her whole body.
She bit her lower lip hard and frowned tightly, trying to control her laughter and not let it burst out, but the harder she tried to hold it back, the harder it was to hide her smile.
As the stimulation intensified, Elina could no longer remain calm and her body began to tremble slightly.
At this moment, she suddenly leaned over and bit Rogers' shoulder and neck.
"Damn it! Have you been possessed by the evil spirit of the ogre again?!" Rogers used all his strength to push away the other's smooth cheek.
Then he jumped up and retreated to the bed with a wary look on his face, ready to jump off the bed and run away at any time.
Dang Dang Dang——
Suddenly there were three knocks on the door, followed by Hans' voice.
"Master, there is a girl who calls herself Melusie who wants to discuss something related to your birthday with you. She said that this matter is extremely important and she must meet you in person.
“But because it is too late, we have not informed the Earl of this matter, but Butler Hester said that he could consult you.
"Excuse me, should we let her into the mansion? If so, where should we take her?"
After hearing this, Rogers hesitated for a moment and then ordered that the other party could be taken to the corridor in front of the bedroom.
If a cultist could emphasize that it was extremely important, then it was most likely related to the gods of the Abyss.
He stared at a series of possible situations, then looked at Elena who seemed to be about to continue, and said helplessly: "What else do you want to do?"
"Can I have another bite?" Elina asked seriously, looking at his neck. As if she was afraid that Rogers would refuse quickly, she immediately added, "It's very light, just one bite."
"No! This is a habit of yours that is like marking. You must not develop this weird bad habit!" Rogers observed the other party's expression, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he refused mercilessly.
Today I am short of 800 words. As usual, I will make up 1,600 words tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...
Sorry.
Chapter 4: Divine Right of Kingship (8k)
Melusie sat quietly on the sofa by the window in the corridor. She was wearing a gorgeous long dress with its hem spread out.
Her delicate face was filled with anticipation. Her hands were lightly crossed on her knees and were twisting them constantly, revealing her restless mood.
However, when she saw the bedroom door open and the first person to come out was Elena in casual clothes, her expression suddenly became much more gloomy.
Unlike Elina who changed into a casual dress, Rogers was still wearing pajamas. He raised his collar slightly to cover the bite marks on his shoulders and neck.
He sat directly opposite Melusie, and Elena sat down beside him very naturally.
"Excuse me, but the woman next to you is very dangerous. She should have high-level skills in detecting intelligence. What I am going to say next is very important. Please ask her to step aside for now." Melusie stared at Elena coldly and made a request.
