"As I just said, I am often chased and oppressed by fate, and I have been embarrassed by it several times.

“The oppression that fate has given me is far greater than that of ordinary people, so as long as I cannot truly control my own destiny, I will always have shortcomings.

"But from now on, I have gained confidence, and this confidence will help me rise above fate and become its true master!"

Although Rogers was walking forward with a stick, his posture was still upright, and his slightly childish face was full of unstoppable determination.

This time! He will make Alina kneel down!

Seeing Luo Gesi's confident expression, Sadoy fell into silence again.

He couldn't quite understand such an elusive thing as fate, and he couldn't quite understand what Logos was talking about, but he was still shocked.

Later, at the request of Logos, Sadoi explained in detail all his knowledge and information about the cave trial as an apprentice of the Three Sages School.

Similar to the Trial in front of St. Helte, the Trial in the Cave also focuses on the character of the mind, but its method of testing the character is not an illusion, but rather philosophical problems.

In addition to solving problems, the cave trial area will also spawn some shadow monsters that need to be conquered by force. These monsters will change their strength according to the enemy.

There are many ways to trigger questions or summon monsters. Some require you to specifically solve a puzzle or trigger a mechanism, while others will suddenly appear in front of the trial-takers. However, the possibility of encountering the latter is much smaller than the former.

Rogers was not very interested in answering questions. He just wanted to search for monsters and use them to test and familiarize himself with his current strength.

Sadoy stayed with Logos throughout the whole process, like an honest servant.

"If what I understand is correct, even if these monsters will become difficult to deal with over time, by the seventh day they will be at most three times stronger than they are now, with at most one or two more defensive or offensive skills added, right?"

Luo Gesi waved his magic power casually, blasting a blurry shadow into powder, and then frowned and asked Sadoy.

After receiving a positive reply, he suddenly felt that this trial suddenly became boring.

When his interest gradually faded, the cave began to prepare for night.

Before nightfall, Rogers and Sadoy returned to the cavity together.

Aelita, Dudra, Ranko and Dampe had already returned here before the two of them, and the atmosphere in the room between the four seemed very strange at this moment.

They were all surprised by the silver aura revealed by Luo Gesi and the company of Luo Gesi and Sadoy, but they did not show any more curiosity. They all looked too preoccupied to care about him. appearance.

Dudra has been feeling uneasy since he set off this morning. He doesn't know how he should face Sadoy if he really has a plot against him and attempts to harm him.

However, the reality was far beyond his expectation. The person following him was not Sadoy, the most suspicious person, but Aelita!

This fact that he didn't want to believe completely shattered his common sense, but he could only keep comforting himself, guessing that there might be some misunderstanding.

After that, he easily got rid of Aelita's following and explored the trial place alone for a long time. Until he made up his mind to go back to Aelita to be frank and explain the situation clearly, but he accidentally bumped into the other party, Tonglan. Coe and Danpei were talking secretly.

By observing their mouth movements from a distance, he was able to determine that these people must be talking about himself.

The boundless chill and fear shattered his little determination again.

From Aelita's perspective, Dudra always looked like he was on guard for something, plotting something, and hiding something.

After failing to follow and detect intelligence, she met Lanke and Danpei. Under the urging of anxiety, she sought help from Lanke and Danpei, who currently seemed the most normal among the five.

However, the content of the request was vague due to scruples. It was not until Lanko and Danpei repeatedly pressed her that she revealed it. She guessed that Dudra might be related to the cultists, and in the next few days, she made empty statements. One of the companions gathered inside may be killed by the cultists.

At this time, the three of them discovered Dudra observing them from a distance, which made them suddenly startled.

For Ranko and Dampe, Dudra is their closest friend among the five, but Aelita obviously has no need to lie. In addition, the abnormal atmosphere among the five these days has made them Fell into a panic of not knowing what to do.

If their closest friends, from childhood to adulthood, can't believe it, then what else can they believe?

Lanke and Danpei could not help but be affected by these words.

Luo Gesi continued to set up camp, make soup and barbecue by himself. Dudra did not come to him for food again, leaving him with a lot of prepared ingredients.

Tonight, no one in the small team of five could sleep in the cavity.

During this period, Sadoy noticed his laziness due to the Book of Evil Spirits, and punished and counterattacked him, causing him to moan in uncontrollable pain at night.

This also added a good piece of firewood to the already tense atmosphere.

In the tent, Luo Gesi continued to incite the emotions of several people with [Special Deed] with great interest, until he suddenly realized that his ritual had been completed long ago, and he no longer needed to care about these guys, and quickly fell asleep. .

However, after he was promoted to Silver, the effectiveness of [Contract Special Code] has been greatly enhanced. In addition, the five people's heartstrings were already tense due to various reasons, and the bonus of erosion during the trial. As a result, in the second half of the night, their spirits gradually sank into an unspeakably bad state, even without the encouragement of the [Special Deed].

The next day.

Lufia followed Elena and asked in a slightly tangled voice as she walked through the cave:

"Didn't Rogers tell us not to go looking for him? Let's just go there like this, okay?"

"His work has been done, there is no problem." Alina replied casually.

At the same time, she held the dream catcher in her hand and kept stroking it. The dull feathers that were originally attached to the tail of the net have now regained their luster.

Chapter 135: What did I do to make you disrespect me so much?

pat-

The water droplets fell from a height and suddenly came into contact with the ground, making a crisp cracking sound that spread throughout the lightless cavity.

Among the six people stationed here, except for Rogers, who was packing up his tent and showed that he was in a relatively full spirit, the other five people could not help but yawn occasionally.

They all frowned and breathed quickly and shallowly. Whenever Logos made a slightly louder noise, their bodies would instantly tighten.

Several people are afraid of missing any opportunity to ensure their own safety and collect information, which makes them mentally concentrated and alert at all times.

Apart from Sadoy, who looked the weakest after being tortured by the Book of Evil Spirits all night, Aelita and Dudela, who had not slept for two nights, had obvious bloodshot eyes and deep-set bags under their eyes, revealing their long-term appearance. The insomnia of time and the fatigue brought on by anxiety.

The flickering and wandering eyes, and the muscles that are always tense, as if ready to react quickly at any time, depict the rather nervous state of the two of them.

As for the remaining Lanke and Danpei, they were not much better. They were suddenly immersed in such a strange atmosphere. They knew less than the other three people, so they unconsciously thought more than the other three. There are more people, more chaos, and more miscellaneous things.

“When will people understand each other?”

Luo Gesi looked at the situation of the five people, his expression showed a kind of deep emotion and thinking, his eyes looked into the distance, as if he was looking for some kind of answer or memory.

Suddenly, there was a faint and heavy footsteps in the distance, like echoes floating in the narrow space. They overlapped with each other, rippled and echoed on the cave wall, creating a wave like a tide.

As the footsteps gradually approached, seven St. Helte students wearing uniforms from each school came to the cavity together.

"Rogs!"

A student from the Morost Academy couldn't help but suddenly let out an uncontrollable exclamation. The cry was accompanied by an excited breath and a trembling tone, as if it contained an uncontrollable panic.

"In addition to our school, there are many apprentices from other schools in this trial. Please pay attention to your dignity! Don't suddenly start swearing again!" A student from Augustus Academy said coldly. warned.

"Yes! You can call me Gods, so why can't you call me that name?! If you don't change this bad habit, you will definitely suffer from it!" A student from Landona Academy echoed. road.

"Recently, this interjection seems to be very popular in the Morost Courtyard. In addition to being able to humiliate others, it is also very powerful. It is quite suitable for expressing emotions such as surprise..."

A Hilmi Academy student did not follow the trend to criticize. Instead, he combined the latest linguistics studies to further analyze the meanings behind the words.

It was just that he had just analyzed it, but after seeing the figure holding a cane in front of him, his body went stiff in an instant.

pat-

The sound of dripping water passed through the air, supporting the suffocating silence. The faces of the visitors showed the depression and uneasiness caused by silence.

I don't know how long it took, but the Hilmi Academy student was the first to react. He straightened up suddenly, put his right foot on the ground, raised his hand and slapped it heavily on his chest, bowed deeply and shouted:

"Hello, chief!"

The other six people quickly came to their senses and began to say hello in the same manner, even though Luo Gesi was not even a student of their academy.

Then there was another period of silence, and several St. Helte students realized that Logos had risen to silver. This made their fear worse, so that they could hear the beating of their hearts, and even suddenly smell the blood flowing through them. The sound of flowing in the body.

"Good morning, you don't have to be so formal." Luo Gesi took note of their faces one by one, especially those who just spoke about their names, and then responded with a gentle smile.

The students of St. Helte did not stand up immediately, but continued to respectfully present the information collected along the way quickly and briefly. Then they asked Rogers if he had any other instructions. After receiving them, they did not need to continue. After stopping to reply, they slowly retreated away from the cavity.

After the seven people walked far enough away, released multiple detection spells, and finally set up a sound barrier, they slowly relaxed their bodies, accompanied by silence and heartbeats, and made a long breath at the same time. Take a deep breath and feel the air filling your lungs, as if you have experienced relief from a critical burden.

"I knew there was something fishy about that guy's failed promotion! Sure enough, he probably realized that this kind of trick could not attract fools, so he started to be too lazy to pretend!" A student from Landona Academy raised his hand to stretch the collar of his robe and commented plausibly. .

"Don't take this kind of thing that everyone knows as wisdom. By the way, aren't the people who stayed in the cavity with him the elites of the Three Sages School?

"The state of those elites looks very wrong. They seem to have been up all night. Moreover, after we passed by, their eyes just drifted back and forth on us. Did they even forget the etiquette of saying hello?" Augustus The students from Des Academy said in confusion.

"Their expressions and atmosphere are indeed a bit weird and abnormal, but if you think about it more, who is standing with them? After a little thought, you will realize that there is nothing against it, but it is normal." Hill The students from MI Academy were doing the analysis very calmly.

"Seconded."

"really."

"That's right..."

"..."

When everyone was discussing, a student named Morost at the side of the team suddenly asked, "After we return to school, should we pay more credits to join the club?"

After the fleeting silence, a continuous chorus of echoes sounded again within the sound barrier.

……

pat-

The sound of water droplets hitting the ground still sounded intermittently in the cavity. Aelita and the other five people were extremely confused by what had just happened. Only then did they realize how powerful Logos was in Saint Helte. "prestige".

If they follow past habits, after they gather, they will set up confusing spells in several passages to this cavity to prevent too many people from disturbing this gathering place. The students of St. Helte There was no chance that I could come here after the second day.

However, their gradually becoming dull brains do not allow them to think more, and there are more important things that require them to devote their full energy.

It's just that they were in a stalemate after they woke up, and they were in a stalemate after they came, and they are still in a stalemate at this time.

No one took the initiative to speak, and no one took the initiative to leave first.

Luo Gesi rubbed his chin, wondering whether he should make a study plan for the future today, or cook some more food to reward his stomach, or continue to delve into the greatly changed [Time Tracing Special Code] and the language of mysticism.

The current cave trial no longer means much to him. Although the cave here is not without hidden passes or adventures, they are not something he can plan at his current level.

Before he could carefully sort out his thoughts, another burst of footsteps came, but this time there were obviously much fewer people than before.

Alina walked straight in the direction of Logos, with a dream catcher hanging around her waist, decorated with light feathers that swayed gently with every step she took.

These feathers seemed to have their own spirituality, constantly adjusting their posture as Alina walked, as if they were matching her pace.

Lufia followed closely beside Elena and was looking around curiously, taking in the surrounding environment. It wasn't until she saw Logos that she stopped looking around and waved hello excitedly.

"let's go."

Elena came to Logos and glanced at Aelita and others casually. Seeing their anxious, restless and decayed expressions, she didn't say hello in particular, but nodded to Logos. After signaling, he planned to call him away.

"Alina, what have I done to make you disrespect me so much?" Rogers raised his left hand and lightly scratched his cheek a few times with his fingers. He shook his head slightly, his tone full of disappointment and sighs. .

He felt that he was a magnanimous and patient person, but in the past few days, most of the people he met had enough respect for him, but the girl in front of him actually regarded him as a human being after seeing him. This guy is so disrespectful.

"Huh?" Elena looked a little surprised when she heard this, her brows wrinkled slightly, and there was a trace of confusion in her eyes.

This is not panic or fear like the previous people, but thinking and adapting to unexpected situations.

Lufia's eyes gradually opened wide, filled with confusion and confusion, as she tried to understand what she was seeing.

Logos was promoted to Silver. She was able to notice this clearly. She originally wanted to celebrate, but the familiar sense of sight made her think about it instead. Before coming to the cave for the trial, How effective are the medicines carried?

After a while, Alina gently arranged her sleeves and hair, with a dignified and orderly posture. Then she lowered her head slightly, one hand naturally drooped, slightly touching her abdomen, and the other hand stretched out in greeting.

Her eyes narrowed into a crescent-like arc, a smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, and she spoke softly in a calm and humble tone:

"My lord, can I ask you to move away from here, listen to my words, and discuss some matters?"

When Rogers saw this, the corner of his mouth raised slightly. He thought that Alina must have noticed his current invincible posture and had begun to learn how to truly position herself clearly.

He tilted his chin slightly, his eyes cold and critical, as if he was examining Alina's behavior and attitude.

After a while, he waved his hand slightly and responded casually: "Yes, please lead the way."

The smile on Alina's lips grew stronger. Her movements seemed to be full of respect for Luo Gesi, and she shouldered the responsibility of leading the way with all her heart.

Lufia, who was following the two of them, wanted to say something to Logos, but she fell into silence. Her lips opened slightly, as if she was about to make a sound, but it finally stayed in her throat and only squeezed out a sound. A complicated sigh.

Chapter 4 Life is always full of surprises (k)

Under the leadership of Alina, Logos and Lufia walked through the intricate narrow passages and followed the twists and turns.

As time went by, Rogers felt that every path he took seemed to be converging, crossing, converging and diverging again.

After an unknown amount of time, Alina waved her hand to remove the phantom of the stone wall in front of her again, revealing a large oval-shaped gap. A two-story wooden house was standing quietly behind it.

The wooden house was located in the middle of a cavity. It seemed to be built of rough logs, without any decoration, only the simplest and most unpretentious appearance.

"Your mastery of plant spells shouldn't be enough to build this wooden house, right? Regardless of its scale or precision." Rogers rubbed his chin and looked at the wooden house in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask Said: "Did you get the storage items from that old woman named Nephrite?"
