"Have you heard a story about me that's circulating in the Empire?"
Then, without waiting for a reply, he told the joke that Hans had told him about the people from the Imperial Capital, the South Border, and the East Border riding in the same carriage.
"Why?" After hearing what the people from the East shouted and the demons stopped chasing the carriage, Riya couldn't help but let down her guard a little and asked curiously.
"Because the people from the East Territory told the demon that if it continued to follow me, it would soon see me..." replied Rogers.
Upon hearing this, Riya's lips curled up, and the arc of her smile subconsciously deepened. However, it was this expression that made Lius standing beside her stunned.
Rogers looked at the pop-up window that popped up on the system, reminding him that he was being charmed, and used the [Ignorance Special] to automatically block it.
"Your Highness, is this the relationship between you and Miss Riya? I am really surprised. However, since we are still interrogating you, you should at least restrain your affection a little."
He put away the magic book and sincerely reminded Lius to pay attention to the situation.
"Ah no, I just, I just thought that Riya was very beautiful just now. No, that's not what I meant..." Lius suddenly became nervous and flustered. He felt his cheeks getting slightly hot, and an inexplicable shyness permeated from his heart.
"Yes, Miss Rhea is so charming, especially when she smiles, she is even more beautiful. I can't help but want to admire her." Rogers nodded in approval.
[Digital gods from the bottomless pit praised your joke. ]
crunch--
As soon as she finished speaking, the bedroom door was opened directly, and Elena brought Lufia and sat down next to Rogers.
At this time, Hans also led the servants to bring many cakes and black tea, and placed them one by one on the wooden table between the few people.
Rogers glanced at Elina who had a cold face, and wanted to remind her to pay attention to the etiquette towards His Royal Highness the Prince. However, seeing that Lius was trying hard to hide his infatuated state, he did not say much.
The two people opposite did not speak actively. Riya's expression looked extremely complicated. Occasionally, she would glance at Liu Si's condition. Liu Si grabbed the pastry and started eating with a flushed face. His concealing attitude was obvious.
This is youth.
Rogers sighed in his heart. He liked watching young couples being awkward the most.
After eating a little, Ria was the first to stand up and say goodbye without mentioning the interrogation, and Lius followed her.
"Does it look good?" Elina took a sip of black tea and asked in an inexplicable tone.
Rogers chewed the pastry and nodded silently. He liked the dramatic scene that just happened because of his good deeds. It added a little brightness to his boring life in the past few days.
After all, according to the plot, Leus is the kind of guy who will choose to be single for his whole life, and Riya's feelings are destined to be in vain.
It is a good thing that they can all receive gifts that were not originally destined to exist at this moment.
As for the cost, it is not something he needs to consider.
"Is it because she smiles like a succubus? Has your liking for succubi reached this point? Lord Brad will probably be very worried when he knows about this, right?" Elena narrowed her eyes and stared at Rogers, asking three questions in a row.
"Ah?" Rogers swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Elena in confusion.
"Elina is asking you, is that priest who smiles like a succubus pretty?" Lufia muttered while eating, "They are all so stupid."
Rufia's comment made Rogers chuckle. He ate a few more snacks, wiped his mouth, and called Hans over to have him tell the servants to clear the plates.
Elina then silently dragged Lufia, who still had food in her mouth, back to the bedroom and looked at her friend seriously: "I remember that you still have a lot of basics to consolidate."
"Are you taking it out on me because you're embarrassed?" Lufia stared and pouted in grievance.
Unfortunately, this only resulted in Elina's even more bland expression.
In the following days, the cold wind kept whistling past, but under the cover of this cold wind, the air gradually was filled with the fresh scent of grass and soil.
Although the trees are still withered and yellow, the pace of spring is undoubtedly accelerating. A vitality that struggles out from the cold begins to bloom with the tender green buds on the branches, and the new green like jade embellishes the monotonous background.
Since the first time she met Logos, Rhea has never appeared in front of Logos again. She settled down with Leus in the Earl's mansion, and the gods of the Abyss have not cast much gaze on her since that time.
The storm of the world-destroying disaster slowly subsided as time passed. The Pantheon no longer invested more useless labor, and many personnel gradually evacuated from the East.
As for the matter of Earl Demont, the royal family imposed a punishment that required him to compensate the Brad family with his territory and property. However, since the conflict with the royal family was exposed, many nobles in the East Territory, led by Earl Brad, had already extended their hands directly into the Territory of Demont. Rather than being a punishment, it was more like the royal family was just going with the flow.
Therefore, more specific penalties have also entered a state of stalemate and delay.
The fierce dispute within the emperor's court over whether to deprive Demont of his title has become a topic of conversation among many nobles after dinner.
It was also during this dispute that the First Prince's political talent like a paperhanger and his excellent political skills were highlighted. It was because of his mediation that many fiefdom nobles were willing to acquiesce in the stalemate.
Pertus Augustus, the name of the noblest heir in the empire, has also received a lot of praise for his frequent political interactions in recent days.
The rumors about the prince constantly running back and forth to put out fires made Rogers inexplicably feel a sense of resistance and annoyance.
During the period from midwinter to early spring, in addition to occasionally hearing about changes in the situation, he also frequently communicated with many schools of thought, and got some members to agree to stay in the venue provided by the Brad family to conduct academic research.
At the same time, he also taught many of his findings on the Möbius strip to researchers in his family, but the invention given to him by Professor Kuli was not made public without his consent.
During this period, the compensation sent by the Eunice family surprised Earl Brad. He would occasionally ask Rogers what kind of relationship he had with the noble heir of the southern border, and which other noble ladies he didn't know about, and demanded that Rogers give him detailed answers.
After painstakingly explaining the circumstances of the exorcism night, Count Brad let go of his son with regret.
When school was about to start, Leus suddenly proposed to Logos that he would go to Saint Herte to study on behalf of the Pantheon, and Rhea would follow him.
There are vacancies for both the royal family and the Pantheon in Saint Herta's school, but unlike the royal family who may send their children to school, the Pantheon has basically ignored this gift.
Perhaps it was to facilitate monitoring of Rogers, or perhaps they did not want to directly reject Lius' request, or perhaps because of the continuous breakthroughs in the magic world in recent days, the Pantheon made this unconventional decision.
……
The sky was gray and the sun had not yet completely broken through the clouds. The sky had a light gray background, giving people a quiet and hazy feeling.
The earth is still shrouded in a thin layer of frost and mist, appearing cool and peaceful.
Rogers stuck his head out of the curtains to look at the sky, then turned around and kept shaking Lufia who was sleeping soundly on the bed: "Wake up! If you sleep any longer, you will miss the opening ceremony!"
Then he asked loudly to Alina who was brushing her teeth in the bathroom: "Where did you throw my canvas bag?! I put it on the corner of the bed last night!"
"How should I know! Maybe Rufia kicked him under the bed! Go look under the bed yourself!" Elina's vague and dissatisfied response came from the bathroom.
After Prince Leuide and his wife and the Devin couple left, they did not take Lufia and Elina with them. So the two of them naturally stayed in Logos' bedroom, just like they did in Saint Herte.
"Is this the bag you're talking about?" Lufia raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, then pulled out a black canvas bag from the quilt.
"Don't hold anything when you sleep. Will it be comfortable to hold this thing?" Rogers took the backpack, opened it and checked the things inside. Seeing Rufia lying down and about to fall asleep again, he grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
After waking her up completely, Rogers started to prepare for his own affairs.
After a while, the three of them packed their luggage, changed into their uniforms, took out the college's recall notice, and pressed their fingers on the college emblem.
"How many bets have you received? The re-election of the chief after the school starts should be a problem, right?" Elina looked at the college emblem on the envelope in her hand and began to slowly inject magic power.
The head of the academy needs to be re-selected after the school starts, and the third prince, for some unknown reason, sent a letter to Rogers in advance to invite him to a gambling match, hoping that Rogers could understand what Count Demont did and help Caspar to successfully inherit the title.
In addition, Alice once again made a bet with Rogers because of the Shadow Demon, and the bet was scheduled to be held in the spell competition after school started.
"The trouble is probably much more than this." Rogers shrugged in response.
As the magic glow lit up, no more words were spoken between the three.
Countless tadpole-like glowing symbols flew out from the emblem on the notice, weaving into gorgeously patterned discs that gathered under the feet of the three people.
[The Hilmi Academy Recall Notice has activated teleportation magic on you. You will be sent to the Hilmi Academy dormitory area. ]
A familiar feeling of nausea surged through his body, and when Rogers's vision changed, a large green lawn came into view.
A pair of majestic and ferocious antlers also appeared before his eyes and rushed straight towards him.
With quick hands and eyes, Rogers pulled Derek, who happened to be standing nearby, and pushed him towards Idrul.
Chapter 4: Harvest of the New School Year (k)
Derek seemed to feel a huge force coming from his chest, and then the world in front of him turned upside down. He was thrown into the air and fell directly on the grass behind Idrul.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Missing you is such an unspeakable pain that it has tormented me for the entire winter." Idrull ignored Derek who was struggling to get up behind him. He put his arm around Rogers's and led him to the Big Tree Library.
"Look! This is the monument I built for you. How do you feel about it?"
Rogers looked in the direction where he saw a tall stone tablet standing next to the door of the tree hole. The surface of the tablet was an ancient grayish-white color, and occasionally flickered slightly with the refraction of sunlight.
Its surface is smooth and plain, without any gorgeous decoration, except for lines of maxims engraved in the ancient Landona language, which are the contents of the Emerald Record.
He stared at the portrait of his own face carved on the proverb, as well as the name below the portrait, and almost couldn't help but complain that he wasn't dead yet.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Rogers looked up at the kind Idrul. He knew that when the professor was trying to be courteous for nothing, he must have something up his sleeve.
"It's only been a holiday since we last met, but you seem to have grown a lot. The portrait on the monument will be changed according to the situation in the future, so you can rest assured." Idrul stroked his beard. Seeing that Logos's expression remained unchanged, he cleared his throat slightly and waved his hand to summon a soundproof barrier:
"Ahem, let's not hide it. You should know that there will be course selection after school starts. I hope you can choose the magic plant course offered by me."
"Anything else?" Rogers pinched his chin with his fingers and continued to ask.
"Also... you and Alana have been studying linguistics, and you and Kuli have been deducing magic circles. Half a year has passed. It's time for you to have an in-depth exchange with me, the dean." Idrul smiled kindly and took out an apple from his sleeve and handed it over.
"What else?" Rogers took the apple skillfully and put it into his sleeve pocket, continuing his words.
“Finally, regarding the re-election of the chief, the vice-president said that Hilmi College can only select one chief, but is allowed to have one more deputy chief.
"Because in some future competitions, the chiefs will receive relatively preferential treatment, and the double chief rule of Hilmi Academy will undermine fairness." Idrul carefully observed Rogers' reaction and spoke slowly.
"So you want me to be the newly created deputy chief?" Rogers asked in a puzzling tone.
When he and Alice became co-chiefs, Idrul said that this was an experiment, so the current situation is reasonable.
Professor Idrul was probably afraid that if he knew he couldn't become the head teacher, he would jump to another college without hesitation.
Moreover, besides this, I am afraid that not only will the chief be given preferential treatment in future competitions, but there is also the increasingly serious problem of confrontation between the Holy Maiden's House and the Demon King's House. If we do not take this opportunity to bridge the gap, the division will inevitably be impossible to make up for.
After all, while other colleges were united in team competitions, Hilmi College was fighting among itself due to internal strife, which was indeed extremely detrimental to its future development.
"This hasn't been completely confirmed yet. If there are any changes in the future, I will tell you." Idrul's reply was very vague, and he didn't mean to be firm.
"I understand." Rogers nodded to show that he understood. At the same time, he was thinking in his heart, if he jumped to other academies, would his training for the Demon King Academy become a sunk cost that would be difficult to recover.
As for the so-called deputy chief, he had no interest at all.
During the holiday, when he was fighting against the small disaster host in Benedictine Monastery, he clearly realized his many shortcomings.
If you want to make significant improvements to these shortcomings, a steady supply of credits is an indispensable and valuable aid.
"Don't think too much. Nothing has been decided yet. I will negotiate with the vice-principal more." Looking at Rogers's thoughtful expression, Idrull quickly reiterated.
"Okay." Rogers nodded sincerely and obediently.
After Idrul gave Rogers a few instructions, he turned around and welcomed the students who had arrived at school.
Afterwards, everyone put their luggage back in the dormitory and went to the auditorium together to listen to the vice-president's opening speech. After having lunch in the auditorium at noon, the students got up and prepared to return to their dormitories.
When Rogers, Alina, and Lufia just stepped out of the auditorium, a handsome boy wearing a khaki academic robe and with curly brown hair stretched out his hand to stop them.
He was not trying to stop Rogers. Judging from his gaze, he seemed to be heading straight for Elena.
"Chief Kelvins? Is there anything wrong?" Elina frowned slightly and asked in a bad tone.
Ever since the head of Morost College invited her to dinner last semester, but she had used steam to beat him in a magic duel, he had never taken the initiative to look for her again.
"Could you please have another spell duel with me, Ms. Elina? I want to prepare more for the upcoming event.
"As for the chess skills of Luo Gesi, I have been honing them for a long time during the holidays. I really hope to play a game with you that I did not finish last semester." Kelvins first played with the three Luo Gesi people one by one. Say hello, then leaned forward and asked Alina to caress her chest.
"Why don't you look for the guy next to me? He's a better opponent, no matter in terms of magic or chess skills?" Elina glanced at Rogers and reminded him in a flat tone.
Rogers looked at Kelvins with curiosity. The other party played a considerable role in the game, and he appeared more and more in the later stages. He also had the nickname of "The Psychopath".
Just because the opponent's performance is so erratic, you never know who he may beat, and you never know who he may lose to.
When he is strong, he can use magic skills to briefly fight against the saint, but when he is weak, he will be beaten up by unknown characters. His combat state is like opening a blind box.
However, this attribute can be said to be a natural counter to Erina who possesses the [Precognition Bonus].
"Are you in trouble?" Alice walked quickly to Rogers' side and stared at Kelvins.
Behind her were Eunice and a group of students from the Saint's Academy, who also gathered around her.
Afterwards, Derek and many students from the Demon King Academy gradually gathered around, all looking at Kelvins with scrutiny.
As the number of people grew, students from other colleges also stood on the periphery to watch the show, curiously asking what was going on.
"No trouble." Rogers shook his head in response, then he raised his hand and put it on the shoulder of the boy in front of him, and asked kindly: "Chief Kelvins, how many credits do you have now?"
"What?" Kelvins was still wondering whether the saint's eyes showed any hostility towards him, and was suddenly stunned by this question.
"The spell duel may need to be slowed down, but you can always ask me to play chess with Rogers. But everyone knows that time after school starts will become more precious than before, so you have to show some appreciation, right?" Rogers rubbed his fingers and gave a serious hint.
"I still have more than a thousand left from last semester..." Kelvins replied subconsciously.
"That's enough for us to play many games. I will definitely treat you well. Now please pay the credits first." After hearing the number, Rogers began to speak enthusiastically: "After all, as the first person in the world who knows Rogers chess, I can definitely bring you a chess experience far beyond that of others."
"But after school starts..." Kelvins wanted to refuse with a conflicted look on his face, but was quickly interrupted.
