Your notoriety is known to everyone.

He briefly described the task to be carried out, wanting to complete it quickly. After all, there was more to do after arriving in the southern border.

However, after he finished speaking, Elina's response had nothing to do with the task. She just narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a flat voice: "What kind of bedroom do you want?"

"A bedroom that is convenient for escape." Rogers shrugged and said immediately, "I have something else to do tonight, but I haven't thought of a reason to give Earl Hutton."

"Are you going to see that succubus?" Elina stared at Rogers, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes full of inquiry.

"Succubus?" Alice was concentrating on waiting for Rogers's reply. When she heard Elina's question, she instantly became alert: "That kind of evil thing shouldn't exist in the world. Rogers, if you are bewitched by her, I can get rid of her for you!"

"This is my private matter." Rogers replied with a complicated expression. He was indeed going to see Melusine, but it was estimated that it was not just Melusine who was waiting for him, but also many other members of the cult.

"Is it really a succubus?!" Alice was ready to activate the [Intuition Special], but when she saw that Rogers did not give a direct answer, she knew that what Elena said must be true.

She hesitated for a moment, then continued with a resolute look: "I will go with you and protect your safety."

Rogers looked at Elena helplessly. He seriously suspected that the other party was just testing him and even wanted to use Alice.

Taking the saint to a place where cultists gather? How would those cultists view this? What might Alice do? He could hardly imagine what would happen then...

Chapter 4: Thank you Pantheon for sending the divine strike (2k)

Night falls, like a deep veil covering the earth.

Earl Hutton stood in front of the manor gate, quietly watching the three people in black robes walking away.

He held a piece of straw paper in his hand, on which was written that the Saint, Logos and Elena needed to complete a secret mission, and asked Earl Hutton not to investigate or interfere.

There is a lacquer mark with the pattern of Saint Herte on the lower right corner of the envelope, which looks very new.

There was confusion and bewilderment on his face. He was confused about whether it was right to let it go like this, and why his excuse was so poor.

"Your Highness, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but I don't understand why you are so obsessed with the decoration of Lord Rogers' room today?"

Earl Hutton hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking.

He had learned from his daughter about the Saint's feelings for Rogers, and was also aware of the deep bond between the Elena family and the Rogers family.

But Lufia's behavior was really hard for him to understand, so he thought of using words to tactfully let the other party understand his difficulties, and it would be better for him to be a little more careful when in his territory, so as to avoid the prince finding out and causing trouble for him later.

"Perhaps you would understand it when you are my age." Lufia also roughly realized Earl Hutton's intention, and imitated the way Rogers dodged the question, and replied seriously.

"I..." Earl Hutton opened his mouth when he heard this, and his thoughts were stuck for a moment.

"Okay, take me to see Eunice. I want to play with her." Lufia thought about the important task that Rogers had instructed her to monitor Eunice's condition before he left, and continued to urge seriously.

……

Rogers gently pulled the hood on his head. He was wearing a mask made of pure silver. The only function of this magic item was to cover up the detection magic below the gold level. This was also exchanged for credits.

In his other hand he held a small disc and observed the direction of the pointer.

Elina and Alice were dressed in the same black robe and silver mask as him.

"What succubi love most is to seduce men. They like to use some seemingly intimate and indecent actions to try to arouse your desires and gain your favor, and then lead you to depravity.

"Although you need to use him to eliminate the evil from the Abyss of Disorder this time, you must be careful not to be tempted by him. You must be more vigilant."

Alice looked at Rogers with concern through the gap in her mask.

"I won't give anybody with bad intentions the chance to behave improperly with him." Elina understood the sarcasm in the words and responded calmly and indifferently.

Rogers listened to the two people beside him starting a new round of argument, and he pretended not to hear anything and continued along the way he came in the night.

When he entered an area filled with dim lights, noisy voices, and shops and pubs, he ignored the strange looks from passers-by and followed the pointer to enter an alley that was not lit by fire.

The deeper you go, the more the noise from the bustling city outside the alley fades away, as if everything is becoming deeper, mysterious and unclear as you go further.

puff--

A torch was lit and a faint crackling sound echoed in the darkness.

"Lord Holy Son!"

The firelight illuminated Melusie's beautiful face. She was wearing a purple dress dotted with stars and she shouted with joy.

"Son of God..." Alice was slightly startled when she heard this and repeated it subconsciously.

This sound naturally attracted Melusie's attention. She frowned and looked at Alice. Although she couldn't see her face, she still felt an instinctive disgust and resistance from Alice.

This was not the aura from the Abyss of Disorder, nor was it like the breath of a Pantheon believer, but it gave her a sense of déjà vu.

"Holy...Holy..." Melusie opened her mouth wide, raised her hand and pointed at Alice in disbelief, and the magic power in her body rose instantly.

"She is here to protect my safety." Rogers threw the compass to Melusie to stop her hostility.

"As expected of you, Lord Saint! You are truly the strongest!" Melusie put away the disc and gently touched the side of her face with her hand, her eyes filled with irrepressible admiration.

Her cheeks turned red and she leaned forward, trying to get closer to Rogers.

However, just as she took a step, several streams of air suddenly condensed and swirled around her, tightly restraining her movements. She even felt as if a sharp weapon was sliding across her throat.

"Please stay away from him." Alice admonished coldly. She had already smelled the evil scent from the succubus on the other person.

The flame on the top of the torch in Melusie's hand kept swaying, and there was a hint of shock in her eyes. It was only because of her succubus bloodline that she could easily understand why the saint would act this way.

That white-haired guy is annoying enough! Why is there another saint? !

There was a strong sense of grievance and resentment in her eyes as she stared straight at Rogers.

"Time is of the essence, please lead the way." Rogers raised his hand to signal Alice to stop, then glanced sideways at Elena, and saw that there was indeed a hint of smile in the other's eyes.

"I will obey your will." Melusie sighed, and when the air flow subsided, she raised her hand and stroked the wall beside her. Purple threads emerged and flowed, forming a circular magic circle. She began to explain:

"Behind this is the wizard market of Hutton Territory, which is also the location of the thing the oracle spoke of."

Led by Melusi, Rogers and his companions passed through the magic circle that turned into a deep purple vortex one by one.

Behind it are many old stone houses, the ground is covered with moss, and the walls are covered with ivy.

Most of the people here were wearing various kinds of robes and masks on their faces, and they were whispering to the people setting up stalls on the roadside.

A wide variety of gems, potions, divination tools and magical weapons were placed on a piece of rag, which served as a stall.

Smoke that came from nowhere floated in the air, and a breeze blew past, gently blowing on the cloak, bringing a different kind of atmosphere.

"Most of the vendors and shoppers are wild mages, and there are also some believers from various religious groups. There are also quite a few lunatics who believe in the Abyss of Disorder and undercover agents of the Pantheon here..."

Inside the soundproof barrier, Melusie slowly introduced the situation of the wizard market to a few people. She wanted to get closer to Rogers, but the saint's vigilant gaze never left her.

Melusie stopped talking until they came to a small house made of rough stones. She pushed open the heavy stone door, extended her hand, and invited Rogers to enter the house first.

boom--

When the stone door closed, the light from the torches stuck in the wall allowed Rogers to see what was inside clearly.

The walls of the house were covered with scrolls, magic runes and ornaments. Some mysterious medicine bottles were placed on the wooden shelves against the wall, filled with strange plants or floating powders.

An ordinary magician's shop, this was what Rogers felt when he first saw it.

In addition, there was a wooden table in the room, with seven people sitting beside it. Six of them were wearing various robes, but one of them only had his head wrapped in old cloth, and his naked upper body was covered with various scars.

They all first saluted Rogers with their hands on their chests, and then cast doubtful or resistant glances at Alice.

"She is a saint! But she has been secretly subdued by the Holy Son! She is now acting as the Holy Son's bodyguard!" Melusie proudly introduced her to the seven people as if she was showing off her own achievements.

Several cultists were silent at first, and then they all knelt slowly on the ground, praising the glory of Logos loudly, with more respect and piety in their eyes.

The guy with his upper body naked kept banging his head against the ground, making a rhythmic sound.

Rogers quietly observed Alice's reaction. He had previously told Alice the reasons for using the cult to eliminate evil spirits, but he was still a little worried about Alice's mentality. If it weren't for Elena's existence that made him feel relieved, he would never bring a saint to such a place.

"Get up and tell me briefly about the current progress..."

Rogers folded his hands into his sleeves, listened to their current manpower deployment and planning, and gradually understood why the gods of the Abyss sent him.

What these cultists want to sacrifice is a small stone tablet, the purpose of which is to connect to the god of disorder named Plague and Disaster. In addition, the stone tablet is also used as a ritual vessel in their sect's conversion ceremony.

As long as this thing is destroyed, the growth in the number of its believers can be greatly reduced.

The cultists had already made preparations and could steal the small stone tablet at any time, but they had no way to destroy it. They would probably be chased endlessly because the believers of the Plague Star had a way to locate it, which would result in them suffering casualties and having no time to prepare sacrifices. That is why they had not carried out the action.

Rogers' role is that as the pit selector, he can quickly send the small stone tablet to the bottomless pit, that's all.

Saving the world and weakening the foundation of the cult, the Pantheon should at least pay itself a salary...

He couldn't help but sigh and complain in his heart.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Rogers' mind. He took out a map from his hand and said with a smile:

"Let's start the operation at midnight. After you seize the stone tablet, you can send it to the location marked on the map."

Then he asked Alice to find a hidden place and wait for his news.

"Everything is for the protection of peace! When I receive the news, be ready to activate the silver ring. I will also summon you in time if I am in trouble."

Rogers held Alice's shoulders to prevent her from refuting, dangling the silver ring that Alice had given him earlier, and turned and left.

……

In the darkness of night, Rogers followed Melusie's instructions and left the wizard market in Hutton County. After leaving the market, he rode directly on Elena's back and let her take him quickly to his destination.

"Do you trust Alice so much?" Elina asked in the wind, holding up Roger's legs and running on a muddy path with tall trees on both sides.

“The professor must have given her many means of protection if he sent her here to carry out the mission. Moreover, with her current strength, she would have a chance to escape even if facing a silver-level being. And Earl Hutton would definitely not allow a gold-level expert to run around in his territory.

"Can you please run more steadily? It's too bumpy and makes me feel sick." Rogers crossed his legs in front of Elena's abdomen to stabilize his bumpy body.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Elina pinched Rogers' leg, very dissatisfied with the answer.

"Ah, you mean to let her know my true identity and bring her in front of the believers?" Rogers supported Elena's shoulders, rested his chin on the top of her head, helped her hold down the hood, and at the same time pulled the brim of his hat with his other hand, and replied indifferently:

"I did have a lot of concerns at first, but rather than trusting her, I trust you more. After all, isn't this a prank you want to play?"

He had not initially considered Alice in his plan, and had even thought of many ways to avoid her. But now it seemed that even if Elena could not know his future, she should have foreseen something else, which led him to think of this once-and-for-all solution.

The sound of wind whistling past his ears was caused by the high-speed movement. Rogers felt that after he finished speaking, the whistling in his ears became more rapid and brighter. It was obvious that Elena had increased her speed again.

"Why is it getting even more rocky?! Steady! Steady! I'm really going to puke!"

Rogers' hands moved from supporting Elena's shoulders to her neck, and his legs were clamped tighter.

The two of them galloped all the way into a dense forest. The moonlight cast mottled shadows through the dense leaves of the forest. Elena's feet stepped on the fallen leaves continuously, causing a rustling sound.

The forest was filled with a thick, damp smell. The night wind blew through the trees, bringing the whimpers and roars of distant animals.

The two of them didn't stop until they reached a small hill, and Elena put Rogers down.

"I'm going to find Alice, you be careful."

After saying this, Elena turned around and left in a hurry.

After Rogers stood firm, he supported himself on a tree trunk with his hands and made a retching sound. The violent bumps along the way reminded him of the disgust brought by the long-distance teleportation magic.

After adjusting his state, he looked towards the cave at the bottom of the hill, where was the source of Eunice's curse and was also the location of a mid-to-early stage copy.

Inside it was a creature called the "Stone of Chaos". When the Lord of the Feast looked at him in the school library, he thought of this cursed object.

He had originally compiled various strategies, but when he was at the wizard market, it suddenly occurred to him that the solution to the problem might not need to be too complicated, and it could be done by simply erasing it.

Time passed slowly. I didn't know how long it had been before I heard a noise in the distance, from which I could make out some ugly curses.

Rogers took out two round beads from his sleeve pocket and immediately crushed one of them.

"Sir, we got it!"

A shirtless man emerged from the woods, holding a small, ancient stone tablet in his hands.

"Well done! You did a good job!" Rogers quickly came to him, put his palm on the stone tablet, and shouted loudly:

"I dedicate this to the great bottomless pit!"

An illusory halo emerged from above his head, and the horns and thorns continued to coil and condense, transforming into an ancient crown floating on his head.

The next moment, he crushed the second round bead, and his figure and the stone tablet disappeared together.

The big man did not pay attention to what was happening before his eyes. He stared blankly at the two companions who were following closely beside him, and the enemies behind him who kept shouting vicious curses.

The sky above everyone's heads suddenly became as bright as day, as if a blazing sun appeared out of nowhere, bathing everything in its scorching light.

As the "sun" fell rapidly, raging flames devoured everything on the ground and underground. Everything dissolved in an instant, and the buzzing sound echoing around was like the earth's wail.

Chapter 4: Is this how you use the world's favor? (4k)

In the dark alley, a grey light came from the alley entrance in the distance. The hurried footsteps, intertwined voices, distorted flute sounds and singing of pedestrians outside the alley mixed together and poured in along with the faint light.
