Your notoriety is known to everyone

Chapter 118 The tragic life of Rogers (4k)

In the center of the front yard of the villa is a spacious lawn. The carefully trimmed grass is as soft and smooth as a green carpet.

In the center of the lawn, there is a bluestone fountain, with multiple streams of water gushing out from the spring pool. The clear water shines silver in the sunlight.

Various colorful flowers are planted around the fountain. Red, yellow, purple, blue and white interweave into a colorful picture.

Lenina was standing next to the fountain, walking around the fountain with interest, admiring the light reflected by the water.

She was wearing a simple purple dress and had long, soft golden hair. Every filament seemed to have been carefully combed, giving it a smooth and shiny texture.

As for her appearance, she is very similar to Professor Alanna. The only difference is that Lenina's arrogant attitude inadvertently revealed makes her more like a noble than Professor Alanna.

"Did that guy's hospitality etiquette be taught by a monkey? How dare he keep us waiting for so long."

Following Lenina, a girl wearing a white maid dress with a black upper part and a very childish figure whispered to Lenina.

Her hair was all wrapped up in a maid's hat, her face had slightly evenly distributed freckles, and she looked extremely ordinary.

"Silence, or I will throw you back." Reinina sniffed the fragrance of flowers in the air and responded casually.

Not long after, an attendant came quickly and invited Lenina to the pavilion on one side of the front yard.

"Oh? He's not even willing to let me set foot in the hall?" After hearing the attendant's words, Lenina asked with a calm look on her face.

But when she saw the attendant's awkward reaction, she also understood that it was meaningless to ask him such a question, so she raised her hand to signal him to lead the way.

The pavilion is nestled among flowers and plants, with stone columns, railings and domes forming its main structure.

After passing through the arched doorway, the furnishings in the pavilion are also very simple, with only a round stone table and six stone benches beside the table.

After the attendant brought Lenina and the little maid here, he turned around and left without leaving any other words.

"You actually make us wait like this again! Etiquette is a portrait of a person. This Logos Braid is definitely far more despicable than the rumors say. It's really disgusting..."

The little maid curled her lips and frowned, wanting to continue commenting, but when she saw the indifferent look Lenina glanced at her, she finally wrinkled her nose and chose to restrain herself.

Lenina sat on the stone bench. Although she did not complain vocally, she slowly frowned, with a little dissatisfaction on her face.

From birth to now, no one has ever arranged for her to wait in such a simple place. That's it. She can still enjoy the flowers and plants to some extent, but then she was left to dry for such a long time. It is no longer rude. Overshadowed.

However, when she saw Rogers walking slowly, her previous dissatisfaction instantly dissipated.

Logos' steps seemed difficult and careful. He relied on the support of his cane, and every step he took required extraordinary effort. Hans always held his arm tightly to give him stability.

Lenina looked at the boy's silver hair that swayed gently with his steps. She felt that this scene gave the stumbling boy a sense of fragility and fragility, and she couldn't help but feel the urge to protect him.

"So, why did you skip my father and come straight to find me who is easier to bully? Are you Alkan of the Santan tribe?"

Rogers sat down on the stool with the help of Hans. He placed the cane between his legs, folded his hands on the handle of the cane, looked at Lenina closely, and said coldly.

When Lenina heard the question, the good feeling she had just aroused was instantly shattered.

In the process of corresponding with her sister, she often saw descriptions of how talented and intelligent Rogers was.

But what the other party said right now was completely unlike what a smart person would say. Although this is indeed the case, you can't just say it outright!

It seems that this so-called intelligence can only come from learning and research.

"I am indeed here to seek peace for the Santan tribe. If the Breed family executes Arkan, it will inevitably trigger a local fight. The political situation in the empire is currently unstable, so it is not appropriate..."

Lenina originally wanted to say some caring words and conventional social rhetoric, but Rogers' rude behavior made her too lazy to abide by etiquette, so she opened her mouth to describe the purpose of her trip.

But before she could say anything more, Rogers raised his hand to stop what seemed like a lengthy speech.

"So, you also came here to kill me..."

Logos slowly rubbed the handle of the staff. He half-closed his eyes and looked at Lenina intently and seriously, his eyes showing sharpness and alertness.

"Your Excellency, do you understand what this slander means?" Lenina asked aloud with a dark expression on her face.

The migration of the Santan people has nothing to do with the royal family. It's just that the gap between the feudal nobles and the royal family has intensified not long ago, and the shock caused by the recent "Dawn Movement" has made the future seem unclear.

At this time, any spark may trigger a prairie fire. In order to stabilize the situation, exterminating them one by one is the main idea of ​​the royal family at the moment.

And Lenina is only here for this.

"What does it mean?" Rogers sneered, looked at Lenina with an incomprehensible look, and said slowly:

"Last summer, who wanted to use my death to become a saint?

"Well, in order to save the world, I can understand and am willing to make the necessary sacrifices to save the world, and I have been doing so.

"But what happens next? Who can't wait to judge me? Who sees that the judgment fails and directly curses me viciously?

"Caspar wants to kill me, his father wants to kill me, the cultists want to kill me, the second prince wants to kill me...

"A few days ago, the person who wanted to kill me turned out to be Arkan again... first the imperial power faction, then the prince and the cultists. After seeing that none of these worked, did they want to take advantage of the nomads?"

His brows were furrowed as he spoke, indignation and sadness appeared on his face, and his tone gradually became angry:

"What did I do wrong? That you are targeting me like this? "I work hard to help the saint improve her strength, work hard to help my classmates improve their knowledge, work hard to help the academic community advance the frontier, and work hard to help citizens can buy more Better and cheaper items…

“I dedicate my sincerity and just want to bring better things to the world, but because of you, I can only get endless misunderstandings and scorn.

“At school, the third prince would bully me, but outside of school, the whole world would ostracize me.

"I have already missed the spot for the groundbreaking ceremony and lost the ability to walk normally. This is already the case. You are still asking me, what does it mean?"

Lenina listened quietly to the nagging complaints. She saw that the corners of the boy's mouth were slightly raised, his chin was slightly raised, and his expression seemed to highlight ridicule and contempt.

But in those half-closed eyes, there were thick shadows, covering up the integrity that had not been tempered by the world and the fear of the unknown.

From her last words, she suddenly understood that it turned out that Luo Gesi had not suffered from poor walking while recuperating from his injuries, but had directly lost part of his walking ability.

No wonder the kid is so rude and angry.

"Because you are so outstanding..." Reinina felt emotion and pity in her heart and responded subconsciously. However, just after she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and quickly explained:

"Arkan's actions have nothing to do with the royal family. I am also afraid that you will have a misunderstanding and know that you are close to my sister Yalana, so I came to see you."

The sarcasm on Luo Gesi's face became even more intense when he heard this. He stared at the other person as if looking at an enemy and said slowly:

"Yes, just because you are close to Professor Alanna, you have the opportunity and ability to reveal the news in advance to those magic schools that resist the birth of linguistics, and let them go to St. Helte to force me to make an explanation... "

His face showed only suspicion, hatred and resistance towards Lenina, but no trust at all.

Lenina suddenly recalled a little white tiger she had encountered while hunting in the north. The little white tiger was also frightened, but had to be on guard and grinning in order to survive...

The child has now concluded that the royal family has taken away his ability to walk, and also believes that the royal family is preparing to take away more. At the moment, there is no way to communicate with him normally, let alone explain anything.

The little maid standing next to Lenina, when she heard that Logos was forced by several magic schools after the linguistics leaked, her eyebrows drooped unconsciously, her lips bit together gently, and there was a hint of faintness. of shame.

“I want more people to be educated, and I want to bring more theories and creations into the world. I will not fall until I see the future that I want.

"Anything that can't kill me will make me stronger!" Rogers' eyes became firm and bright, like an unshakable star. He clutched the handle of the staff tightly and spoke to Lenina in a clear and powerful voice. declare.

Then he leaned on the cane and swayed slightly, focusing all his strength on the action of standing up, but every trembling reaction could only further highlight the fragility and struggle of his body.

Lenina wanted to reach out to help her, but was slapped away by Rogers' merciless palm. This almost made him lose his balance when he was about to stand up. Fortunately, Hans on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported his young master's arm in time.

Luo Gesi's expression was tangled for a moment, as if he had figured out something before he said:

"I don't like war either, so I can let Alkan go, but the Santan tribe must hand over five hundred bronze-level tribesmen, and these people must be sinners who have participated in raiding and robbing ordinary citizens."

When he finished speaking, he said no more, nodded and motioned for Hans to help him leave.

Lenina watched Luo Gesi's fading figure, lowered her eyes to the palm that had just been opened, and let out a helpless sigh, floating in the air.

"I want to enroll in Saint Helte!" The little maid clenched her hands into fists and said to Lenina with a firm expression:

"I once saw an article in the Imperial City newspaper saying that Luo Gesi was bullied by Saint Helte. I thought it was just a deliberate irony to attract attention, but now it seems that this may be true.

"I also understand why my eldest brother likes to praise Luo Gesi from time to time recently. Such a noble person should not suffer such injustice.

“He looked very innocent and without any scheming. After that, he was unable to lay the foundation stone and it became inconvenient to walk.

"The bullying of him by those hateful students will definitely get worse because of this. I need to do what the moral law directs me to do. Moreover, I already owe him something..."

Lenina slowly stood up and smoothed the folds of her skirt in an arc with her hands. She did not comment on the decision of the little maid beside her, but reminded her softly: "But you must not use the above words as an excuse."

"Of course! I'm not the fool who said everything to others just now!" The little maid put her hands on her hips, obviously disgusted with Lenina's contempt for her.

……

Rogers was leaning on a cane. He was now able to walk three or four steps independently without Hans' help.

"Master, please don't be too angry. The Earl can definitely protect you." Hans reached out to help Luo Gesi when he was about to lose his balance completely. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to comfort him a little presumptuously.

"I'm fine." Rogers patted the back of Hans' hand unexpectedly. He didn't expect that even Hans didn't realize that he was just acting.

One hundred cavalrymen participating in the cavalry fight have been captured, but the number of people who need to be sacrificed for laying the foundation is still less than [-]. It is impossible for Luo Gesi to issue an orderly request, so he mentioned a common number.

As for the remaining number of people, he felt that if he couldn't find a better solution before the end of the summer vacation, he would have no choice but to recruit some cultists to join them.

Although bronze-level soldiers are not rare, they are not common either. The loss of six hundred bronze-level soldiers at once is extremely unbearable for the Santan tribe.

Two days ago, Luo Gesi asked his father to tentatively make this request. After the other party learned about it, he didn't hesitate much and quickly replied directly rejecting it.

If Alkan is killed as soon as he has the guts, the Santan tribe will never surrender the style of a tribal warrior.

If we can add pressure from the royal family this time, and then let the goddess push it forward, we may be able to increase the success rate by a lot.

As long as the foundation can be laid, the painful drama just now will not be in vain.

But his original purpose in acting was just not to be dragged into the endless wrangling, but the feeling that Lenina gave him didn't seem to be very hostile.

Moreover, the little maid next to Lenina is also very weird. She looks a little younger than him, and her appearance is too ordinary. Even the smallest noble will not bring such a maid with him. That's right.

While Luo Gesi was thinking about all the abnormalities just now, he was imagining the wonderful scene of being able to practice advanced magic spells such as transformation and flying after boarding Silver. As his thoughts gradually wandered away, he almost stumbled again. Fall to the ground.
