Your notoriety is known to everyone.

After pondering for a moment, he echoed a sentence and then continued: "I heard that among the three sages of the school, apart from Senior Sadoy, you are the most powerful."

Dudra's face was originally full of joy due to Rogers' compliment, but when he heard what he just said, his face visibly stiffened.

Seeing Dudra's reaction, Rogos gradually became fond of him, because the other party's performance clearly showed that he cared deeply about that comment, and this kind of care could easily turn into a well-directed attack. sex.

Self-esteem that comes purely from comparison is the best self-esteem in Luo Gesi's eyes. He likes to confide in people with such strong character.

With a smile on his lips, he silently activated the [Liqi Special Code]. His words were no longer as explicit as before, and he only occasionally mentioned Sadoy sideways in the process of echoing Dudra.

The reason why Logos specifically mentioned Sadoy was because this guy was the cultist who wanted to assassinate the saint.

When the two of them returned to the Giant Tower of the Sage, chatting and laughing, Dudra took the initiative to say goodbye.

Rogers noticed that although the other party's facial expression was still calm and carefree, there was already an obvious gloom in his eyes.

Dudra didn't really ask which school Luo Gesi studied until after he left, nor did he say more to help Luo Gesi find a great magician who could cure him.

"In addition to being lustful as mentioned in the game text, he also has selfish and arrogant attributes. This friend is really good." Luo Gesi said to himself, and then returned to his residence on the 30th floor through the small teleportation circle.

The sun slowly climbed to the top of the sky, projecting a strong white light, and the heat it radiated made the air gradually become muggy.

Logos used a carving knife to carve several runes representing "cold" on the wall of the house, poured in the appropriate magic power, adjusted the appropriate intensity, and created a magical version of a simple cooling device.

When he finished his work, Alina and Lufia also returned to the house. They brought a cake, a whole roasted chicken and a salad of vegetables and fruits for lunch.

Lufia groaned comfortably after feeling the appropriate coolness in the room, and then planned to wash up and go to bed to take a nap.

Erina and Luo Gesi sat in front of the desk and laid out the dream catcher, the original text engraved stone and the dragon egg.

"I want the dream catcher. Among these three things, the original text is the most important to you, right? As for the dragon egg, it must be handed over to the saint. This is the instructions of Granny Nephrite."

Alina picked up the dream catcher, rubbed it and thought about it, then made a plan for the destination of these three items.

"Is it like this... It's no problem. What I want most is indeed the original text." Luo Gesi picked up the stone with the spiral pattern engraved on it and looked at it.

The original writing is said to be something that appeared in the Golden Age, or even the more distant mythical age when the gods still walked the earth.

It was not created by a certain being, nor was it born from the world, but a symbol discovered by an unknown person that can directly point to the original concept.

The symbol engraved on the piece on Logos's hand has not been lost, and is recorded in the collection of the Great Tree Library of Hilmi College.

With the passage of time, this extremely ancient symbol has long lost its ability to link to mystery. Or, to be more precise, the farther away from the mythical era, the weaker its function.

Therefore, it no longer has a place among the many enchantment rune factions that are currently popular.

But what Luo Gesi values ​​​​is not the mystery contained in it, but the antiquity and symbolic meaning of the stone itself.

Change, development, turning, infinite growth, the passage of time, the rhythm of cycles, the infinite backflow loops and links inward and outward, are the meanings contained in this spiral symbol.

In addition, this stone itself has carried the symbol of this symbol through the ages. It is too wasteful to use it as the key to unlock skills. He is ready to let it play a greater value.

"In addition to the shadow demon that is sealed by itself, the dream catcher itself also has many functions. If you want to sacrifice it to improve your spiritual attributes, you'd better find a way to keep the dream catcher."

Rogers looked at the items held in Alina's hand and said seriously.

The dreamcatcher's oval frame looks like it's woven from long, tough wickers.

The interior of the web is made of white winding threads extending in a balanced and harmonious shape, like a weak spider web.

There are several long, soft feathers hanging at the bottom of the net, which looks slightly old.

"Sacrifice? Why is the first thing you think of a sacrifice?" Alina looked sideways at Rogers with some confusion and asked aloud.

"Ah? Isn't it normal for magicians to sacrifice?" Rogers asked back with the same doubts.

"Is it normal? But there are so many secret rituals, why do you just sacrifice..." Alina's expression became more and more confused, and then she continued unconsciously:

"How many things have you sacrificed to gain benefits?"

Rogers paused when he heard this. He could count how many people had been sacrificed, but when it came to things, it was a bit complicated.

In the past, many sacrificial rituals were interconnected, and the selected symbols were relatively complex. Some symbols could even be split and combined in one sacrificial ritual, which cannot be expressed in quantity at all.

"Do you remember how many pastries you have eaten so far?"

Elena was silent after hearing this. She looked at the dream catcher in her hand, and after a moment she said in a persuasive tone: "Don't think about sacrifice..."

Logos was noncommittal about this. After the two had lunch, Alina continued to finish the work on the occult language, and Logos was also planning for the upcoming future.

As night fell, a grand banquet was prepared in the seven-story banquet hall of the Sage Tower to entertain mentors and apprentices from various magic schools.

In the center of the hall are three tall and gorgeous statues of sages. They are either holding books, grasping wands, or holding their hands behind their backs. They all look confident and solemn, as if they are showing their knowledge and power to the guests.

The hall is filled with tables and chairs, and the tables are covered with finely embroidered tablecloths. There are sumptuous delicacies on them, and all kinds of strange delicacies exude tempting aromas.

The silver tableware sparkled magnificently under the illumination of the giant crystal chandelier.

All the students of St. Helte changed into the uniforms of each school, and Luo Gesi also washed himself and returned to his original appearance.

Not only are there members of St. Helthe and the Three Sages School, but there are also many organizations that can rival the Three Sages School.

The mentors and elders of each sect gathered in the center of the auditorium to chat with each other, while the boys and girls walked back and forth in the hall, trying to make friends from other sects.

Rogers, Alina and Lufia didn't have any desire to make friends. The three of them found a corner and sat down, holding knives and forks and enjoying the food on the table.

Alice originally wanted to come to Rogoth, but she could not stop the continuous attentive greetings from countless apprentices from other sects who admired the saint. In order not to lose the dignity of Saint Helte, she could only deal with it continuously.

Occasionally, people would come around the three of them and try to communicate, and they would also praise him for his wisdom, but after seeing him eating, they basically didn't bother him too much.

"What did you say to Derek before you came to the hall?" Alina took out the napkin she brought and dabbed her lips and asked curiously.

Just when Rogers was about to answer, five people walked towards this place, one of whom was Dudra who he met in the store this morning.

"You... you are actually a little sage?!" Dudra looked at Luo Gesi's face carefully, his eyes widened in surprise, and he pointed at Luo Gesi with trembling fingers and said in surprise.

"Little sage Logos Braid? Which elective course did you get outstanding results in in St. Helta? But with your wisdom, you must be in more than one course. Something accomplished, right?

"My name is Aelita, and I come from the Haixin School among the Three Sages. It's an honor to meet you."

Aelita has chestnut hair, a white cloth is wrapped around her eyes, covering her eyes, and she wears a cyan-based magic robe embroidered with gold threads.

Although the other person's eyes are covered, her nose is straight, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and she still has a good appearance. At the same time, the cloth strips also add a unique charm and mystery to her.

"I am also honored to meet you, the famous latecomer." After Luo Gesi swallowed the food in his mouth, he stood up and talked politely with the other party who was the host of the banquet.

Aelita, the hindsight knower, is the complete opposite of Erina. The other party possesses the "Hands on Hindsight Special" to peer into the past of things.

Existences like them have always aroused the fear of the world, so the white cloth over the other party's eyes is actually a seal. Only with the vote of multiple forces, this seal can be unlocked, allowing Aelita to use her special code.

This kind of treatment is the result of years of hard work by the Three Sages School after Aelita exposed her special code.

The two girls next to Luo Gesi also stood up. After Alina briefly introduced herself and greeted the others, there was a hidden warning in her eyes.

"So why don't you answer my question?" Aelita faced Logos and continued to ask.

Before Luo Gesi could answer, Dudra, who was also wearing a white magic robe with gold patterns behind him, a tall and thin apprentice and a short and fat apprentice couldn't help but laugh with unknown meaning.

In addition to these four people, Sadoy, who was wearing a black magic robe with gold patterns, had short black curly hair, and a gloomy face, did not have much expression, and just looked at Luo Gesi with a scrutinizing gaze.

The Three Sages School has three branches: Baiyou, Obsidian, and Haixin because of the magic skills that the three founders are good at.

Among them, the Haixin school to which Aelita belongs has a motto of "thinking is the dance of concepts, and concepts are the bonds of thinking." They believe that the so-called language is just one of the shadows of thinking, and words cannot exhaust the meaning at all, so they The study of magical arts tends towards imagery.

The various explanations of linguistics put forward by Rogers, especially the theory that language can highly affect thinking, greatly attacked the foundation of his founding theory.

Among the many schools of thought that went to St. Helte last year to force Logos to give a lecture, the Sea Heart School participated.

The two apprentices behind Dudra chuckled because they heard the sarcasm hidden in Aelita's question, because behind these words was nothing more than a mockery of the so-called little sage for not being promoted to the Silver rank. If you come to the threshold, you can only take some detours to get to the exchange meeting.

"The magic world values ​​not only magic talent, but knowledge is also very important. Being able to get the title of Little Sage is the best proof." Dudra encouraged him with integrity, and then he looked at Elena and Lufia chuckled and asked, "Do you two think so too?"

Elena and Lufia did not answer Dudra's questions, and the atmosphere among them gradually entered a subtle stalemate.

Logos understood Aelita's hostility toward him because of the school's stance. He smiled indifferently. The other party did not further attack his legs, and it was considered that he was talking about the various bad rumors spread by the outside world. There is dignity left.

After a few meaningless social remarks, the five people from the Three Sages School went together to where members of other schools gathered, using the greeting etiquette of the organizers.

Several St. Helte students in the distance, relying on their hearing after being promoted to the Silver rank, have been paying attention to Luo Gesi's movements.

They were surrounded by magic shields that blocked the spread of words. When they heard Aelita's words and those two laughters with unknown meanings, they all had complex or pity expressions on their faces.

"Those guys are the chiefs of the Three Sages School? Are they crazy?" One of the Landona Academy students couldn't help but said.

"There is no chief among the Three Sages School. As for whether they are crazy or not, who knows?" A student from the Morost Academy next to him casually replied. After finishing his words, he added:

"But it should be soon."

Chapter 4: Miss, you don't want this to be known to the outside world, right? (k)

In the magnificent hall, chandeliers shine, laughter and conversation echo, and the aroma of food permeates the air.

After Rogers sat down again, he held the knife and fork in his hand and used gentle force to cut the barbecue on the plate, turning it into neat small pieces and enjoying it without rushing.

When a sound barrier was raised, he slowly spoke to Alina and Lufia:

"The five guys who just arrived are good friends who grew up together. Many years ago, something happened to Aelita, the latecomer among them.

"A gangster once sneaked into the Three Sages School to serve as a servant and tried to capture Aelita. At that time, the world did not know that she was a late-knower, but the force that sent the gangsters learned the news in advance.

“Because high-ranking people will definitely attract the attention of the Three Sages School, the three people who tried to capture Aelita were all ordinary people of the Black Iron rank.

“While they stunned Aelita and took her away, they were discovered by a teenager in time and bravely defeated the three gangsters with a sneak attack.

“Afterwards, everyone thought the boy was Dudra the fly, but in fact it was Sadoy.

"The remaining two guys, tall and thin and short and fat, witnessed the whole process, but did not tell the truth, and they also helped Dudra gain Aelita's favor.

"As for how the forces trying to kidnap the late-knowers obtained the information, no one knows. It may be due to leaks from the insiders in the Three Sages School, or it may be other reasons. In short, since Aelita woke up from the coma, the world has also Know the existence of those who know later.”

After speaking, Luo Gesi picked up a piece of barbecue, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. After tasting the taste, he continued:

"What I just told Derek was to ask him to ask a few reliable classmates to help him find more apprentices from the Three Sages School and inquire in detail about what happened that night.

"At the same time, I would like to ask a few more questions. Is Dudela able to advance successfully at such an early age because of his talent and hard work, or because of the favor and help of latecomers, and the fact that he is the strongest young man of his generation in the Three Sages School? Is it Dudra or Sadoy?

"Those who successfully get the answer will be able to get interest exemptions. I believe everyone will be happy to ask this question, which is rude but insignificant.

"Coupled with the relationship between Derek and me, no one should casually reveal the reason for the question to outsiders. Derek also specifically mentioned it to everyone at my request."

In the plot read by Logos, the time when Sadoy tried to cast a spell to control the people Alice was concerned about was not certain. There were routes that could have taken place in the next two days, and there were also scenarios where everyone entered the trial area prepared by the Three Sages School. What just happened.

The former is because Sadoy's reckless actions in the Sage Tower will trigger the attention of the powerful, which will lead to the failure of his actions.

Luo Gesi didn't want to see the other party fail, so in the past few days, he needed to find something for the other party to do, and Dudra could just show his value as his friend.

The seeds planted this morning and the suspicion caused tonight, I believe the other party will not let him down.

It also prevents Dudra from harassing the people around him, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"That Sadoy, why did you give up your achievements to Dudra?" Lufia asked vaguely with food in her mouth.

"Despite Sadoy's gloomy appearance, this person actually values ​​friendship. Moreover, Sadoy was just a wanderer on the street when he was young. The reason why he entered the Three Sages School was because of Dudra's father. Mercy." Rogers replied casually.

"Logos knows a lot." Lufia couldn't help sighing, but she didn't show too much surprise. After all, Logos showed a lot of knowledge from the first trial in front of the door. Coupled with her father's intentional or unintentional hints, it was not a surprise to her that Rogers knew these secrets at present.

Just when she wanted to further inquire about Logos's motive for ordering Derek to do this, someone suddenly tapped on the sound barrier.

Rogers turned around and saw that it was Alice, so he put the barrier away.

Before several people could talk more, a burst of noise suddenly erupted from the other side of the hall. It seemed that someone was fiercely accusing, someone was indignantly refuting, or someone was shouting to dissuade. The multiple sounds were mixed with each other, which seemed quite disturbing. For chaos.

"Our classmates are quarreling with people from the Three Sages School? No, it seems that the Three Sages School itself is having internal strife..."

Eunice, who was following Alice, looked into the distance and made a sound of surprise.

She first saw several Saint Helte students arguing with apprentices from the Three Sages School and then turning around and leaving. Then several people from the Three Sages School were questioning and arguing with each other, and more people were trying to dissuade and appease, until The commotion was quelled only by the intervention of an elder.

After seeing the general situation clearly, she asked in confusion: "Why did they argue?"

"Because Luo Gesi is sitting here." Alina replied without saltiness. After finishing speaking, she held a fork in her hand, inserted a piece of barbecue that Luo Gesi had cut on the plate, and took it into her mouth to eat. got up.

Alice watched Alina's movements and saw that Rogers had no unnecessary reaction to this. Her lips pursed slightly unconsciously. Then she sat down next to Rogers and began to tell her what she had just seen. .

After Eunice saw Alice's behavior, she sighed inaudibly and sat down.

As time passed and the banquet came to an end, the originally lively environment gradually became quiet, and farewells and greetings became the main theme.

Logos returned to his residence alone, while Elena and Lufia pretended to go to the room arranged for them by the Three Sages School, and then ran to find Logos after a while.

Late at night, the runes on the ceiling of the house were shining brightly. Elena and Lufia were sleeping peacefully on the big bed. Logos was sitting at the desk alone, slowly rubbing the stone with the original words engraved on it.

Alina has completed all the work on the mystical language, and after working hard for a long time, she can finally fall asleep early tonight.

"Science has not yet been established in this world. These theories should be considered the field of philosophy, as well as mystery and art..."

Logos placed three small piles of ashes around the stone. The first pile was burned from manuscripts of occult maxims such as "Jade Record", the second pile was from manuscripts about art, and the third pile was from The theoretical knowledge currently known as natural philosophy.
