Your notoriety is known to everyone

Chapter 6 Anyone who has died knows it

The atmosphere of Scarlo Market did not weaken at all because of this farce, but became more noisy and lively because of the talk.

The story of Rogers leading his fiancée to find Alice quickly swept the entire episode.

"Hey! Old guys! Do you know what I saw? Our infatuated young master has a fiancée! He even brought his fiancée to find Alice!"

"I know! The whole story has been spread all over the place! I heard that he was dissatisfied with the family marriage and specifically confessed to Alice to humiliate his fiancée!"

"It's not just that! Your Lordship also wants to force Alice into a carriage on the street to have fun!"

"Wrong! He obviously took Kevin back!"

"What do you know! He was captured just because Kevin tried so hard to stop him!"

"You are all wrong! His lordship clearly wants Alice to go home with him and requires Alice and his fiancée to serve him together!"

As the sun gradually sets, the rumors become more exaggerated.

Holding different versions, people who thought they had mastered the truth took sides and began to criticize and refute each other, all determined to let their "truth" dominate public opinion.

Rogers, who returned to the Earl's Mansion, was not aware of these outrageous rumors.

He was standing at the intersection in the flower garden behind the mansion with his hands folded, casually admiring the flowers swaying in the wind and enjoying the fragrance of the flowers.

The wound on his head was also cured by a magician who was good at healing in a hurry when he arrived at the mansion.

There was no trace left on his forehead, as if he had never been injured.

In the meantime, the Minister of Public Security sent a servant to come once and explained that the reason why the retainer knights did not show up in time to protect Logos was because they got lost while following Logos. The court had already started a discussion on the knights' dereliction of duty. .

This was completely deceiving him like a child, but he was not angry. He also asked the servant who came to report that "Lufia Augurides had appeared at the scene" to pass it to the Earl's court as soon as possible. Those guys.

Logos could understand the reason why these people did this. If it were him before awakening his memory, he would probably only become manic and depressed after hearing the truth.

It's better to hide it, sort out all the information, and report it to his father, the earl.

"Our parents should be back tomorrow. Are you ready to say something?" Alina asked casually as she strolled over.

Ever since she was caught by Luo Gesi, her temperament seemed to have suddenly returned to the impression she had when they first met.

Distant, cold, and rude.

"No, it doesn't matter. At most, he was hoisted to the star observation tower." Rogers replied boredly.

He didn't care about Alina's changes. Rather than speculating on the girl's ever-changing thoughts, it was better to solve Goldbach's conjecture.

"Then why did you stand here with him for so long?" Alina pushed the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears and glanced at Kevin who was lying at Rogers' feet.

Although Kevin's clothes were somewhat damaged, they were generally in good condition.

However, purple scars were ruthlessly spread all over his body, especially his face, which was swollen and bulging, obviously experiencing a considerable degree of torture and pain.

This was not Luo Gesi's instruction, but the result of the Minister of Public Security arresting him for interrogation without authorization.

From this we can know what kind of status and image Luo Gesi has in the family.

"No reason. I originally wanted to hire a well-trained doctor for him, but then I thought that I might get greater benefits by doing some things myself." Rogers slowly knelt down and pinched Kai with his fingers. among the literary people.

"Logos..." Kevin reluctantly opened his eyes of different sizes and shouted weakly.

Luo Gesi looked at the miserable-looking opponent and asked slowly:

"Did you know that the punch you punched me in the market could possibly kill me? No matter how much you were hostile to me, you probably wouldn't have thought of doing this, right? Is there any other reason for this?"

After Kevin heard the question, Rogers could still vaguely make out the surprised expression on his face, which was unclear, but it was then covered by a kind of determination. "Then I really regret that I couldn't make up for it... As long as I can prevent you from continuing to pester... and make Alice distressed..." Kevin replied feebly and intermittently.

He tried to reach out to grab Luo Gesi's collar, but the iron nails that were driven into the joints of his body to restrain his strength gave him unparalleled severe pain.

The hand he tried to raise fell to the ground weakly before he could raise it halfway.

If the people from the Earl's Mansion dared to throw him in front of their own young master, there was no way they would not have made corresponding handling and preparations.

Rogers stood up after hearing this and couldn't help but smile on his face. Kevin's answer perfectly satisfied his hypocrisy.

He didn't want to know if this was the other person's angry words, but as long as he had ill intentions toward him, he could proceed with the next steps with peace of mind.

Now there is only one thought in Luo Gesi's heart, and that is to gain strength.

A power that can give him an absolute sense of security and allow him to fully control his own destiny.

After searching through his memories about the game, Luo Gesi recalled a ritual that had a chance of obtaining a high-ranking special prize for free.

It doesn't even require any magic power, it just needs to meet the corresponding symbol to trigger it.

Kevin happens to be a very suitable sacrifice.

"Master, I brought you what you asked for."

Rogers' personal attendant, Hans, hurried over with three maids.

The maids held a wooden basin filled with water, a mirror slightly smaller than the diameter of the wooden basin, and a blank parchment scroll.

After Luo Gesi asked them to place the three items on the ground, he waved them away.

Alina asked Luo Gesi several times what he planned to do, but what she got was a long silence.

In this way, the two of them remained in a stalemate until the sun gradually sank into the horizon.

The sky exudes a soft orange-red hue, mixed with subtle pink and purple mottled, and the tranquil atmosphere of dusk envelopes the world.

After standing for a long time, Rogers slapped his legs several times. Then he first put the mirror into the basin, then soaked the parchment roll in the basin, and finally said slowly to Kevin next to him:
“Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be near death?

“Anyone who has died knows that it is a very contradictory feeling.

"There is both the great terror between life and death, and also the temptation of incomparable beauty and tranquility, as if to tell you that all troubles will be over."

As Rogers said this, he grabbed Kevin by the collar at the back of his neck and lifted him up suddenly.

"But in the end, you will be swallowed up by an instinct that will drive you crazily to struggle, forcing you to survive and gain any chance to continue to exist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rogers suddenly pushed Kevin's entire face into the water and kept murmuring:

"The time of the devil."

"crossroads."

"Mirror within a mirror."

"Wordless parchments."

"Drowning creature."

"Irrepressible destiny."

"All the elements have been gathered to dedicate this absurd, dull and boring drama to the viper of the bottomless pit in the name of Logeth Breed."
