Your notoriety is known to everyone

Chapter 166 Reverse Birth (4k2)

On the way home, Rogers sat in a comfortable carriage and looked out the window through the square window lattice.

At this time, we had not entered the inhabited area, and we saw snowflakes falling from the sky, making the visibility outside the window very low, and it was almost impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

The boundary between heaven and earth is blurred, as if the sky and the earth merge into one, leaving only a vast expanse of white.

Only when the team of knights guarding him rushes past, will it bring a redundant color.

After traveling at high speed for a long time, the convoy entered the core area of ​​Braidland in the afternoon. At this time, the heavy snow gradually stopped.

Rogers did not return directly to the Earl's Mansion, but stepped off the carriage when entering the Municipal Square.

"Every time I come back, I can see a lot of changes." Rogers slightly adjusted the collar of the windbreaker with his hands, then propped his cane on the ground and said to Alina and Alice, who got off the car one after another.

Lufia returned to her home first as usual, and would come with her parents in the next few days.

The current municipal square at the foot of Luo Gesi is extremely wide and paved with smooth marble, and the snow on the square has also been swept cleanly.

The spectacular City Hall, supported by several huge marble columns, stood directly in front of him, and many citizens were walking in and out of it wrapped in cotton cloaks or coats.

In Luo Gesi's impression, the city hall did not change much, but the scene around it took on a completely new look, especially the newly paved square in front of the hall.

"What is that marble base used for?" Rogers pointed to the smooth and delicate base made of stones in the center of the square, which was several meters high. He pointed towards the personal attendant Han standing next to him. Si asked.

"Reporting to the young master, the earl once said that after you obtain the title of sage, a statue of you will be erected here." Hans replied with a smile.

"That should be very big." Alice measured it with her eyes and sighed.

Rogers ignored Alice's lament about his size, but instead focused his gaze on the sparse crowd in the distance.

One of them was wrapped in a black cloak, his face covered extremely tightly, and he was staring at him.

Although there were not as many knights accompanying Luo Gesi on his way home, there were still a few armored knights guarding him.

When pedestrians saw him, they all bowed from a distance and hurriedly went about their own business instead of standing and watching him.

"I'm going to do some things alone. You guys should go back to the Earl's Mansion first and tell your father that I will be back soon." Rogers turned his head and said to Hans.

Hans opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he responded by stroking his chest and reminding Luo Gesi of the possible hidden dangers in the crowd. Apparently he also noticed something was wrong with the person in the distance.

Logos waved his hand casually, said goodbye to Hans and several knights, and then led Alina and Alice towards the figure in the black cloak.

When he was close, he signaled Alice to activate the [Hide Special], hiding the three of them and the person opposite them in their bodies and auras.

"Good afternoon, Lord Holy Son. I followed your will and successfully brought the succubus to your territory."

The man opposite took off his hood and revealed his face. He was none other than the middle-aged cultist Luca who was instructed by Logos to transport the succubus when he was in the Gerson territory.

As soon as Luo Gesi arrived at the square, he noticed the other party's presence with [King Power]. At that moment, he didn't say much and directly asked the other party to lead the way.

"Lord Holy Son, many devout believers are building a secret palace for you in the Green Valley, and they have gathered more than a dozen creatures that you may be interested in..." Luca rubbed his hands and deliberately leaned against Luo Gesi's ear while walking. , whispered.

Luo Gesi looked at Luca's winking expression and soon understood that these creatures could only be succubi. Then he looked at the two girls on the other side whose expressions had changed obviously. He couldn't help but sigh and asked: "That day. When I left, did I specifically tell you not to spread gossip?"

"I didn't spread any gossip about you." Luca felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, straightened up quickly, and replied solemnly.

"Then what happened to the situation you just mentioned?" Rogers narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other party calmly.

"In order to better fulfill your instructions, I followed your instructions and told the devout believers exactly what you told me at that time, without any changes." Luca continued to reply quickly, speaking. Tiny beads of sweat gradually appeared on his face.

"Let's do business first, let's talk about these trivial matters later." Rogers glanced at the other party and did not dwell on the matter any further.

When the position is high enough, people below will always want to guess the thoughts of the person above. This is not a bad thing, but sometimes it is not a good thing either.

Rogers did not dislike people with lively thoughts, but he also had to prevent these people from being too lively and causing unnecessary trouble.

After this incident, Luca became obviously more cautious in his words and deeds on the road. He only talked about the transportation and placement of the succubus in his words.

"Why do you always like to hide in places where civilians gather?" When Alice was walking with Luca, she noticed something was wrong in the direction. When she heard that the other party had set up a stronghold behind the Scarlo gathering, she couldn't help but sneered. asked.

"This is the optimal solution we have summarized after long-term practice." Luca responded sincerely.

Alice pursed her lips slightly and looked at Rogers beside her, but in the end she did not speak out to scold him for his shamelessness.

The few of them did not enter through the main entrance of the Skaro Collection. Instead, under the leadership of Luca, they entered the collection from a back path that neither Alice nor Rogers knew about.

"Do you know what happened over there? Why is there so much noise?" Luo Gesi asked Luca when he heard the noise and yelling coming from the main entrance of the mall.

"There was a squire named Cordell who wanted to rebuild this place, but the merchants who made a living doing business in the large concentration were not satisfied with the other party's compensation, and were also afraid that the other party wanted to build this place into a residential area for sale to the nouveau riche group, so they Similar conflicts have been breaking out every day with the servants of the Cordell family."

Luca told Luo Gesi the reasons in detail, with a sympathetic sigh in his tone.

They are driven back and forth by the Pantheon every day, and to a certain extent they can truly understand the mentality of these traders.

"I will deal with this matter when I get home, don't worry." Rogers glanced at Alice's slightly gloomy face from the corner of his eye and comforted her.

He had heard his father mention the name Cordell. With the support of the lords of the Eastern Territory, he united many squires to establish a construction guild spanning industry, agriculture and transportation. It was barely a handy tool.

And this construction guild is developing quite well. It already has the prototype of a company group, which can help the lords share a lot of things.

"Thank you." Alice's cheeks overflowed with joy when she heard this, and she thanked with a sweet smile on her lips. "Newspapers are very cheap now, and the "New Civil Protection Act" that the First Prince helped you promote has been gradually implemented, and it is published in these newspapers.

"People who feel they have backing will only continue to accumulate more and more courage and anger when facing the evil wolf that is gradually oppressing them."

Alina watched the expressions of the surrounding vendors looking at the main entrance, gently tugged on Luo Gesi's sleeves, and reminded her solemnly.

After hearing this, Luo Gesi nodded slowly and did not continue to discuss the matter in depth. He just urged Luca to lead the way.

Several people walked back and forth in the alleyway deep in the market until they entered the basement of an old shop.

The space in the basement was not large. After Luo Gesi waved off several cultists stationed inside, Luca followed the instructions and began to cast a spell to open the coffin placed in the center of the open space.

Luo Gesi looked at Lilavina, who had not changed much. After waking up the other party, he opened his mouth and spoke out a series of his requests.

The main content was to ask the other party to go to the border of the Green Valley, close to the Santan tribe's camp, to prepare for a ritual that would summon a catastrophe. As for the most important flesh and blood sacrifice, Luo Gesi only said that the other party did not need to worry about it.

Among the major disasters, four are the most special. They have no fixed disaster-causing media. They are earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and fires.

Lilavina mastered the ritual of summoning earthquakes, but the source of this earthquake was an elemental creature, and its expression was different from ordinary earthquakes.

What Luo Gesi planned was not only to solve many troubles at once, but also to consolidate his rank and lay the foundation for ascending to gold.

In return, Logos also promised that as long as Lilavina was willing to agree to his request and not make messy little moves when completing the task, he could give him his freedom.

After struggling for a long time, Lilavina finally chose the only option available to her and signed a series of complicated contracts with Luo Gesi.

When she left, Luo Gesi also asked Elena's shadow demon to follow Lilavina closely, and taught the shadow demon how to use sacrifice to open the transmission channel, so that it can be used at any time when necessary. Call him over via teleportation.

After dealing with all this, Rogers returned to the Earl's Mansion with peace of mind.

After returning home, he, Alina and Alice had afternoon tea with Earl Breed and Earl Devin. It was also during this period that he told matters related to the Scarlo Collection and proposed to change it. It is a tourist and commercial attraction rather than a direct demolition and reconstruction.

Earl Breed had no objection to this. He simply agreed to Logos's request without even weighing the pros and cons.

"Father, you and your mother are not young at all. When can we give birth to new blood for our family to enrich our family's glory?"

Under the pavilion, at the stone round table, after Luo Gesi finished talking about business, he noticed that Earl Breed's eyes often turned to him, Alina and Alice, so he took the lead to speak out.

The originally harmonious scene also fell silent. Earl Devin picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, commenting inexplicably: "As expected of you, boy."

Earl Breed was silent for a while. When he heard these extremely disrespectful words coming from his son's mouth, his expression did not change.

Everyone present was extremely close, so he didn't need to think about how to resolve this "dining table accident" to maintain the dignity of the Breed family. He just slowly rolled up his sleeves elegantly and silently.

"I'm full! I'm sorry to leave now!" Luo Gesi burped upon seeing this, stood up, stroked his chest and saluted, then quickly ran towards his bedroom without looking back, and even used the [Eating and Storage Special] stored power.

Alina and Alice also stood up together, raised their skirts and saluted, and then chased after the figure of Rogers who disappeared quickly.

"The children have grown up a lot and become a lot stronger." Earl Breed looked at the retreating figures of several people, with a smile of appreciation on his lips, and said to Earl Devin beside him.

"It's been less than two years, but they have grown so much." Earl Devin also seemed to be infected. He gently pinched his delicate beard and sighed: "Apart from them, both the territory and the empire have also changed. Quite a few..."

……

In the circular corridor in front of Luo Gesi's bedroom, Luo Gesi and three people were sitting on the sofa, eating various delicacies brought by Hans.

The small pastries at afternoon tea couldn't satisfy Luo Gesi's appetite. Now he just wanted to satisfy his taste buds and stomach unscrupulously.

Until the sun set outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and dusk fell, he gently rubbed his lower abdomen a few times and lay down on the back of the sofa.

Not long after, Hans hurried to the sofa and looked at Rogers strangely, as if he didn't know what to say.

Luo Gesi was also surprised when he saw this, and said directly: "Say it, don't worry about it."

"Master, Cordell replied that the reconstruction of the Skaro Collection is a project that has been planned by the Construction Guild for a long time. Not only the Breed family, but also many lords in the East have participated in the investment. He cannot stop the project without authorization. This is the letter of self-complaint he submitted to you."

After Hans finished his report, he handed a beautifully wrapped letter to Rogers.

Rogers frowned and took the letter. Alice was worried when she heard this, while Alina showed a little surprise on her face.

"Does he know who he is talking to? Does a country squire who does not have a title now dare to speak like this to a high-ranking noble heir, a real baron?" Elena asked slowly.

She had seen many strange and strange things with Luo Gesi, but Cordell's response still made her feel so unfamiliar to the East, so much so that she couldn't help but wonder if she had missed any subversive reforms during her time at school. .

"I heard that Cordell has been trying to plead with Lord Breed and Lord Devin to grant him the title of Viscount. He often entertains the lords of the East and spends a lot of money to hire a gold-level ranger as a guard. In recent times, he is regarded as the most honorable citizen in the East."

Hans smiled and replied to Elena, with a lot of subtle intonations in his words.

Luo Gesi lowered his head and read the large paragraph on the letter paper that held the banner of the Eastern Territory lords, and the hard contribution of the Construction Guild to the Eastern Territory's industry, agriculture, finance, and transportation mentioned by the other party.

"He seemed to be knocking me. What I saw in the letter was not a decent citizen, but the economic king of the East."

He handed the letter to Alina, continuing to refresh her worldview.

He thought he would face harassment from the Shanta clan, calculations from the magic school, and pressure from the emperor after returning home, but Rogers never expected that the first trouble that would pop up would be this.

He took a sip of black tea and spoke the lines of Senator Frank with a smile on his lips:

“Being close to power can make some people mistakenly think they have power, and I want to nip that illusion in the bud.”
