Your notoriety is known to everyone.

His palm floated on it, and the three piles of ashes began to rotate and merge around the stone. At the same time, magic power was continuously injected into the stone, gradually reshaping it with soft yet persevering power.

The stone slowly changes and gradually bends into a spiral shape, as if twisted by invisible hands. The lines emerge from the inside out, forming the sharp outline of the spiral blade and the simple hilt.

Finally, the magic power receded, and Luo Gesi exhaled a breath of turbid air. At this moment, the stone had been completely transformed into a small, two-palm-long stone spiral sword.

"It'll be up to you then..."

He lowered his eyes to look at the spiral sword and whispered to himself.

……

Luogesi's good friend Dudra was very agitated in the next two days. The apprentices of the Three Sages School kept discussing whether all his achievements were due to the help of those who knew behind him.

Things don't end there. He also suspected whether someone had leaked the truth about the kidnapping. Otherwise, why would so many people be looking for what happened on the night of the kidnapping?

In Dudra's eyes, the person with the greatest suspicion was naturally Sadoi, so he kept running to question him, but all he got in return was the other party's perfunctory response, as if the other party was busy preparing something and had no time to pay attention to him.

This humiliation, as if he was being slighted, was deeply engraved in his heart, causing him to challenge Sadoy to a spell duel, trying to prove himself to everyone in an upright way.

However, after Sadoy happily agreed, he also happily admitted defeat, turning the duel into a farce.

The late-knowing Aelita did not expect that things would develop like this, nor did she expect that such a fierce conflict would break out between her two best friends.

But time doesn't care about this trivial disturbance and still flows forward silently.

Two days later, the trial specially prepared by the Three Sages School for the visitors officially began.

This trial is called the Cave Trial. Its positioning is similar to the Trial in front of Saint Helte, but the content is completely different. In other words, compared to the Trial in front of the Door, it seems a little backward and crude.

The venue of the cave trial is not like the trial in front of the door, which uses the power of the Sleepless Country to directly fictionalize it, but a real location; in addition, the Three Sages School is not as accomplished as St. Helta in space magic, so the trial There is no mechanism for immediate transmission after failure.

The time is also fixed at seven days. There is no referee in the trial, and it relies entirely on the mechanism engraved in the cave itself for operation and rewards.

In order to ensure the safety of the students during the trial, Saint Helte specially buried a high-level healing spell in each person's academy badge. As long as they did not suffer a fatal blow, they could be effectively cured.

As for more guarantees, such as teleportation, they are strictly prohibited by the Three Sages School in order to maintain fairness.

For this reason, St. Helta advised everyone to participate as appropriate according to the situation, but no student expressed that he wanted to give up.

In the early morning, many young magicians from all over the world entered the trial area through the teleportation circle on the top of the Sage Tower.

puff--

A weak but bright flame rose in Logos' palm, illuminating the surrounding scene.

He stood alone in a silent and dark cave. The wet marks on the cave walls and the elongated rock textures all came into view with the light.

As the monocle worn on his left eye came into play, the cave map suddenly appeared in Rogers' mind.

He held on to his cane and stepped forward calmly. As the pace progressed, the road became more and more complicated. Sometimes it was a broad cavity, and sometimes it was a winding path that turned and turned.

The shapes of the stone walls are also varied, some are smooth and flat, and some are uneven, as if they are random sculptures of art.

While traveling, a wave of "erosion" gradually acted on Luo Gesi's body. It kept consuming Luo Gesi's magic power and physical strength. This was also the most basic part of the trial test.

"According to the settings, erosion will affect different strengths, but the intensity I suffered, does it mean that I am a Silver-level person...

"Perhaps it's because I've noticed that I've gone through the foundation laying ceremony? But the more erosion I endure, the higher the reward will be given after the trial. It's not a bad thing."

While muttering in his heart, he showed no pity for his own magic power, and a majestic wind element suddenly surrounded him. After lightly touching the ground, he rushed out several meters away.

Aelita also knew the specific map of the cave and informed her four friends. Before each trial, the five of them would agree to meet at a location.

And Luo Gesi is heading there now.

He met many people along the way. Many apprentices from other sects tried to invite him to form a team to explore, but he quickly declined them all. There were also students from Saint Helte who shunned him after bowing respectfully.

After walking through the narrow passages for a while, he came to a cavity.

The ceiling of the cavity is covered with stalactites and stone pillars, like natural sculptures, hanging down skillfully to form a spectacular stone curtain; while the stone pillars stand upright on the ground, supporting the entire cavity.

"Little sage? What a wonderful fate, you unexpectedly bumped into this place."

Aelita, who stood in the center of the cavity, sounded slightly surprised and greeted Logos softly.

"Yeah..." The wind elements around Luo Gesi gradually disintegrated. Under the influence of erosion, more than half of the magic power in his body had been consumed, and the recovery speed was far slower than usual.

He once told Alina not to deliberately come to him during the trial, and he also told Alice similar things.

After making so many preparations, in order to avoid any accidents, he thought it would be better to move forward with the incident as early as possible.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he continued to speak to Aelita sincerely:

"Dear latecomer, did you know that the person who rescued you from the kidnapping was actually a cultist?"

[Aelita will judge whether the special code of knowledge is true or false after you activate it. The special code of ignorance is passively triggered. Please choose whether to pass. 】

Luo Gesi looked at the pop-up prompt box and was quite surprised, but at the same time he silently chose to pass.

[I later learned that the special code judgment was passed, and the above words were not lies. 】

"How...how do you know? Dudra and I grew up together. He can't be a cultist, but what you said...what happened?" Aelita's face was full of shock, she He stumbled over his words and asked in an unbelievable tone.

Rogers raised his hand and rubbed his chin, with a slight smile on his lips. He did not answer the other party's question, but said inexplicably: "So it's just a decoration?"

Aelita's expression suddenly turned grim when she heard this, but the next joking words spoken by the boy opposite her made her body slowly tense up again.

"Miss who is a latecomer, you don't want this matter to be known to the outside world, right?"

Chapter 4: What I said is the truth (4k)

[Aelita activates the special code of knowledge on you and tries to inquire about your past. The special code of ignorance is passively triggered. Please choose whether to pass. 】

Luo Gesi silently chose no, with an unchanging smile on his lips and looking at the other person with half-closed eyes.

Originally, he thought that the white cloth, even if it did not completely seal the "Special Code of Later Knowledge", should have sealed part of its functions, so that the "Special Code of Later Knowledge" could at most distinguish between true lies and the like.

But now Aelita seems to be unaffected by the seal and can use it freely.

And a very important point, if the other party can use [Later Knowledge Special] so freely, shouldn't she know the truth about the kidnapping incident when she was a child?

But judging from his reaction, which clearly didn’t know Sadoy was a cultist, it also seemed like he really didn’t know the truth.

Is it because there is a self-regulation not to use it on friends? Or does the seal actually have some effectiveness, so the opponent needs to be more careful when activating the special bonus? Or is it……

Continuous conjectures flowed through Luo Gesi's mind, and he even doubted the authenticity of the plot text. However, based on his experience of more than a year, the text never only had omissions, but never errors.

The most important thing is, shouldn't the guy in charge of this kind of special gift be the kind of cunning, cunning, calculating, narrow-minded and violent existence?

Why does this hindsight person look so dumb? He doesn't look like he has been holding this kind of bonus for a long time.

[The special code of ignorance is passively triggered, and the special code of hindsight fails to be judged and the activation is aborted. 】

Aelita's face slowly turned pale, and her lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but was restrained by shock and confusion.

The stunned figure showed her confused thoughts.

She tried her best to stabilize her mentality, silently formed a sound insulation barrier around the two of them, and said in a calm tone:

"You could easily sense that I was launching a special attack on you at the bronze level, and you could even resist it so easily. And at this age, you actually know such secrets and possess so much knowledge that is beyond ordinary people, so... …What kind of power do you possess?”

"The power that drives fate to clear the way for me." Luo Gesi supported the staff with his right hand to straighten his waist. He stretched his left hand slightly, and the flames originally wrapped around his palm flew to his side. After announcing in a gentle tone, he started to move smoothly. The [Contract Special Code] has appeared.

Alina has used precognition to help herself so much, so this sentence can be considered true to a certain extent.

[Aelita will judge whether the special code of knowledge is true or false after you activate it. The special code of ignorance is passively triggered. Please choose whether to pass. 】

[I later learned that the special code judgment was passed, and the above words were not lies. 】

Aelita was silent for a moment, and then she said firmly: "Dudra can't be a cultist! Where did you hear these outrageous rumors? How can you still believe it so much?"

"Oh? It seems that you trust that lustful person very much. It's really a deep friendship. If you show it more strongly, I might be moved by your bond." Rogers responded with a surprised look on his face.

"He is not a lustful person! Everything happens for a reason! You don't know anything, just talking nonsense here!" Aelita's expression gradually became excited, and the magic power on her body also started to rise faintly.

The look of surprise on Luo Gesi's face was even worse. He felt that there might be something else hidden in this, but what did that have to do with him?

Then his shoulders sank slightly, his arms stretched out slightly, and his palms slowly raised in an inviting gesture, and he said generously:

"As long as you do me a small favor when I need it, I will not reveal to the outside world that you can still use the special coupons, and I will reveal more information to you."

"That's it?!" Aelita ignored Rogers' performance. There was a little surprise in her tone, and she nodded indifferently: "No problem."

The moment she agreed, an imprint filled with the aura of depravity emerged instantly and was deeply engraved in her spirit and soul.

"Happy transaction, my lord." Luo Gesi sincerely congratulated the establishment of the contract, and the flames beside him reflected his cheerful heart.

Aelita looked at Rogers' eyes as pure as lake water, and her heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. Her face was gradually covered by a layer of darkness, and she looked very gloomy: "From just now, my emotions The fluctuations kept getting bigger and bigger, so big that I seemed to have turned into another irritable and irritable person... What did you do to me?"

After saying that, she crossed several meters in one step and was in front of Logos in an instant. The magic power around her surged in, holding Logis firmly in place.

Although Aelita was speaking with questions, Rogers could clearly feel that there was a layer of tape-like magic around his mouth, making it impossible for him to open his mouth for a while.

Luo Gesi did not expect that the other party would realize the interference of [Contract Special Code] so quickly, and he did not expect that the other party would act so decisively. He immediately tried to block the possibility of him speaking out, forcing him to be unable to speak out the requirements to run the contract. .

At the same time, he could also detect the murderous intention faintly revealed in Aelita's posture. Unfortunately, the other party was not the one who had given him death by fate, and there was a high probability that he would not have the courage.

[Enlightenment Special] amplifies [Incomplete Praise], and the magic power exerted on Luo Gesi for "closure" was naturally absorbed as part of the savings.

"There was once a guy like you who was in charge of high-ranking destiny-related special items. At the beginning, that person couldn't hold back the anger in his heart just like you, and he tried to trick me several times.

"It's a pity that in the end, he was trained by me and became the most capable assistant, willing to be driven by me, and now he has become a quite capable person..."

Luo Gesi's words were full of memories, as if he didn't care about the current situation at all and was sighing to himself.

After Aelita saw Logos speaking freely, her pupils couldn't help but expand, and her face was full of disbelief.

She tried to re-seal Logos's mouth several times, but every time she would only waste her own magic power and make no progress.

What made her even more horrified was that Rogers could make her stop with just one sentence, but the other party didn't seem to care about her situation at all.

It was obvious that she had been promoted to the middle level of Silver, while the opponent was still a Bronze before entering Silver. With such a huge gap in ranks, she was unable to suppress the opponent even though she used all her magic power to do so.

Even if St. Helte possesses the most advanced foundation laying ceremony, he should not push the opponent to such a level...

Aelita's brows were furrowed, and many thoughts appeared in her mind. She knew that it would probably be useless to try to use the magic spell further, so she dissipated the magic power used to imprison Logos, and then she clenched her fists tightly. , nails dug deeply into the palms of hands, and said in a slightly hoarse accent:

"I can do something for you, as long as it is not against morality or too contrary to my wishes, otherwise, I would rather die..."

"Don't worry, I am a person with high morals and sentiments. Of course I won't let you do anything that goes too far." Luo Gesi noticed that the other party was nervous and comforted him thoughtfully.

When the words just fell, Aelita seemed to notice something and instantly opened the sound barrier.

After a while, Dudela led the tall and thin Lanco and the short and fat Danpe and ran into the cavity together.

All three of them carried backpacks of the same shape, filled with supplies and food for the next seven days.

Luo Gesi felt quite envious when he saw that none of them had ever used magic lighting. This was the benefit that came from being promoted to Silver and having their perception abilities greatly improved.

"Hey, were you targeting the little sage again just now? Forget it with words, releasing magic power to intimidate is too much."

Dudra came to Aelita's side. He thought he had noticed the truth, and spoke in a very protective tone of Logos.

It is just because of this that there is obviously a lot of residual magic power stagnant here. To be able to gather such a pure magic flow, one must rise to the level of silver.

Coupled with Aelita's innuendo towards Logos two days ago, Dudra naturally came to a conclusion that he felt was obvious.

However, Aelita's originally unhappy expression became even more gloomy after hearing these words, but she did not explain anything, because when she saw Dudra, she unconsciously thought of the news that Logos had just given her. .

She didn't want to believe such absurd things, but when she thought of the strength and various hidden powers that Luo Gesi showed, she felt that the information that the other party could identify seemed valuable, and it seemed that there was no need to deceive herself with it.

Dudela noticed that Aelita's mood and posture were obviously different from usual, and wondered if it was because she was overly protective of Logos, which made her angry.

After that, he did not continue to be too enthusiastic about Luo Gesi. He only said hello briefly and said that Luo Gesi was lucky to be here, and then he said no more.

After a moment, Sadoy, who was carrying a bag of packages, also hurried over. When he saw Rogers for the first time, his eyes froze for a moment, but then returned to his usual indifference.

The atmosphere among the few people was originally quite stiff and silent, but with the arrival of Sadoy, he and Dudra glared at each other without giving in, which seemed to change the atmosphere in a subtle direction of confrontation. .

The first day of the trial is just for the participants to adapt to the gradually increasing erosion. Subsequent related tasks or opportunities will only be gradually opened up over time after the arrival of the second day.

"Logos, come here." Aelita didn't know whether she was annoyed by the current atmosphere, or couldn't help but want to continue asking for more information. She said to Logos, then turned and walked to a place ten meters away. .

The rest of the people were not surprised by this. They all knew that the Sea Heart School where Aelita belonged to hated Logos, and they felt that Aelita probably wanted to treat him again. Logos, please say something to vent your anger.

After Dudra was snubbed by what he said just now, he no longer had the intention to say anything.

When Luo Gesi walked to Aelita, the other party directly raised a soundproof shield and said without stopping: "Tell me, what is the more information you just told me?"

"Destiny shows that the cultist who once rescued you will kill one of the people in the cavity here in the next few days." Rogers continued to reveal his news very generously.

"Destiny revealed? Do you have a high-level special certificate for predicting?" Aelita frowned and questioned in a tentative tone.

"To a certain extent, you can think so." Rogers raised his hand and rubbed his chin, nodding slowly towards Aelita.

Alina controls the [Special Code of Prediction], and he controls Alina. To a certain extent, he does have a high-level special code of prediction.
