Your notoriety is known to everyone

Chapter 69 The Saint’s Choice and Consequences ([-]-in-[-])

From the fourth floor onwards, the winding and spooky stairs were also filled with traps just like the original corridor, and the ghosts were no longer just smoke demons, but many other types were added.

"Are you walking so fast to chase Alice?"

Elena took the candy from a red ghost and asked in an inexplicable tone as she followed Rogers who was quickening his pace.

Luo Gesi didn't reply after hearing this. Firstly, he knew that unless this kind of question was explained clearly, no matter how he responded, it would be of no benefit. Secondly, there were so many demands now that he no longer needed to answer such a question.

And to explain it clearly, it is related to his most important secret, which is also impossible.

The ghosts beside the three of them gathered more and more as usual as they progressed. The traps under their feet were skillfully avoided by the two of them with Lufia between them. The various mechanisms on the wall were handled by these attentive ghosts.

"What if it were me? Would you do the same thing?" Alina pondered for a moment as she climbed the steps. She seemed to have guessed a lot of things, and then asked again.

"Yes." Rogers nodded without hesitation this time.

Even if Alina is not the saint who saves the world, he will definitely do so.

Although the first thing he thought of was that the [Special Prediction] was extremely important and could provide him with great help.

But when he later thought about the two of them getting along, he was a little confused as to whether he was able to answer so firmly and subconsciously for pure profit.

Alina watched Luo Gesi's reaction seriously, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a bright arc spread out, outlining a charming smile.

"You should smile more like this. It's much more pleasing to the eye than the usual cold face." Rogers looked at it and commented seriously.

However, as he spoke, Alina's expression became much calmer, and her posture became more agitated.

"Oh, that's the expression..." Luo Gesi shook his head slightly and sighed.

"What about me? Will Rogers do the same thing?" Lufia noticed that the two seemed to be starting to quarrel again, and quickly interrupted Rogers who wanted to continue speaking, and asked.

Although she still didn't understand what Rogers and Alina were talking about just now, it sounded very important to her, and she would continue to write these words down in her notebook later.

She had slowly begun to feel that the conversation between the two friends might be more exciting than the novels circulated in school.

"Yes." Luo Gesi rubbed the white tiger hood that Lufia was wearing. After all, he could be so leisurely now, but he would occasionally encounter some small tricks, rather than actual targeted conspiracies, but it was all because of Rey. Thanks to Prince De.

Even if it was just based on past promises and to reduce future pressure, he would take good care of Lufia.

The three of them walked for a while and saw a large group of students dressed in different costumes in front of them.

Several ghosts would appear and harass the crowd from time to time, and occasionally the magical light to deal with them would light up.

People were carefully checking their feet and walls to prevent sudden attacks.

"Luo...the chief of the Demon King's Academy is here!"

Some students turned around to investigate and saw Rogers walking up quickly with a group of ghosts. They shouted a warning in horror.

As more people looked back, the crowd immediately became chaotic and noisy. Many people began to run forward regardless, triggering many traps due to mistakes.

Wooden piles, stone hammers, and various elemental magic flows collided back and forth, making them even more frightened.

As the panic intensified, the students pushed and squeezed each other. Their steps were hurried and chaotic, and they kept rushing upwards, as if if they took one step slower, they would be swallowed up by the torrent of ghosts carried by Luo Gesi.

[The comedian laughed at this, hoping that you could move faster. 】

Seeing the scene in front of him, Rogers asked in a complicated tone:

"How far has my image in school evolved? Why do they think I will attack them?"

When he first came to school, the enthusiastic classmates still wanted to get along with him when they saw him. But now the polarity has completely reversed.

"Calm down! Rogers Braid is our classmate! This is not a confrontational competition! You don't need to panic!"

The third prince's scolding made everyone slowly regain their composure, but they couldn't help but move closer to the third prince. People obviously didn't believe the third prince's words, but trusted his identity.

"Let's go." Luo Gesi didn't want to delay here anymore and continued to climb the stairs.

When they reached the students who were gathered together, they consciously made way for him. Many students had tense expressions and kept leaning against the wall.

"Luo Gesi-san is very proficient in using magic spells."

The third prince looked at Luo Gesi who was surrounded by several shadows, and praised him sincerely, as if he had never sent Edith to stop Luo Gesi.

"Thank you for your compliment." Luo Gesi said his thanks sincerely as he passed the steps where the third prince was.

Then he walked forward without looking back. The ghosts that originally attacked everyone seemed unusually quiet, and everyone either followed or watched as Rogers quickly disappeared at the end of the stairs.

After ascending to the fifth floor and about to take the steps to the sixth floor, Alina looked at Rogers solemnly: "When I was thinking about going home..."

Luo Gesi did not stop after hearing this, but there was also a look of thought on his face.

When the students of St. Helte return home, the school will not provide teleportation magic to help them. This does not mean that the school is stingy, but it simply does not have so many detailed directional coordinates.

Therefore, they are bound to experience bumpy rides and horses, and it is normal to occasionally encounter some bandits or cultists on the road.

Coupled with the strength that Luo Gesi showed just now, the power of these bandits or cultists may also increase accordingly.

"Don't worry, the family will definitely send someone to escort us." Logos replied indifferently.

[The gods of the Abyss expect you to perform more living sacrifices. 】

He silently erased the pop-up window. As a law-abiding nobleman, he never wanted to deliberately perform any messy sacrificial ceremony.

Moreover, these gods don’t even make promises, so it’s even more impossible to do anything that’s not beneficial.

When the three of them came to the turning platform between the sixth and seventh floors, they felt that the place was much wider than before.

The platform was covered with a layer of thick mist that reached the ankles. The mist was strangely compact and lingered close to the ground, like lost ghosts, exuding a strong aura of decay.At the end of the mesa, in front of the stairs leading to the seventh floor, stood a huge old tree with ferocious branches.

Its dead branches extend in different directions, some uprooting, some hanging down, intricately intertwined, like a huge spider web, giving people a twisted and tangled feeling.

The trees are covered with a layer of twisted vines that look like living things. They are twisted and twisted like tentacles, sometimes squirming, sometimes baring their teeth and claws.

The most eye-catching thing is the two horizontal cracks in the middle of the trunk that shine with an eerie green light, just like the eyes of this eerie old tree.

"Hello Chief!"

The moment Derek saw Rogers, he immediately said hello and quickly came forward.

The college uniform on his body looked very messy, and there was a bruise on his face that looked like it had been whipped. He looked extremely embarrassed.

In addition to him, there were Alice, Eunice and two other students from the Saint's Academy on the turning stage.

One of the students was lying on the ground panting, seemingly injured. Next to him, Alice had her hands open, with a warm light emitting from her palms. She should be using the special code to heal him.

"You are very lucky, you can follow the saint every time." Rogers looked at Derek, who was not dressed up like other students, and joked.

When Derek heard the words, he immediately clenched his fists and beat his chest seriously: "You are my chief!"

After Rogers indicated that he was joking, Derrick relaxed, and then he took the initiative to tell the current situation:

"That old tree is probably a type of tree spirit. As long as we get close to it, it will be beaten back by multiple vines. If we don't defeat it, we will never be able to climb to the seventh floor."

The seventh floor of the Spiral Tower is the top floor, which is also the end point of this competition.

In fact, according to the rules, they did not need to defeat the tree spirit at all. They only needed to pass through its attack and step on the steps to the seventh floor.

But according to Alice's nature, she could not leave her companions to climb to the top alone, but wanted everyone to pass the level together.

Rogers knew this very well, so he kept taking his time. If Alice could ignore everyone and leave first, there would be no subsequent danger.

"Logos, Alice is a saint after all. There are other students here. I hope you won't be too close to her in order to maintain the dignity of the saint."

Eunice, dressed in a dark witch costume, also came over for some reason and whispered a warning.

"No problem." Luo Gesi agreed happily with a smile. He held the magic book in his hand and felt the prompts coming from the book.

Although the real Eunice is a little vain, she still has her own perseverance. After she apologized to Rogers, she would never say such words.

The person in front of her is Eunice after the evil spirit unknowingly invaded her mind.

According to the normal plot, after the third prince's team catches up with the saint, Addis, who is possessed by the evil spirit, will attack the saint. Then when the angry third prince wants to attack Addis, Was stopped by Alice.

Because at the moment Addis took action, the saint noticed the aura of the evil spirit.

However, the consequence of doing so was that the evil spirits took advantage of the situation and invaded the saint's spirit at the moment when the saint's flaw was exposed due to her resistance to the third prince's attack.

In the end, under the confrontation of [God Protector's Special Code], the evil spirit will be gradually wiped out, and Alice will fall into a coma, and will not wake up until many days later.

Although there will be no dead ends in this plot, there will also be a long-term debuff, which will seriously delay Alice's growth in strength.

As for how the evil spirit escaped from the school, and the school did not intervene in time when Alice was attacked, the game did not make it clear, but there were many speculations and interpretations on the forum.

First of all, the species of this evil spirit is a succubus, and it is a mist-like succubus with complex composition.

Succubus is a collective term for demons with parasitic attributes. She was first considered to be a kind of devil. Later, people gradually discovered that they also exist in the Disorder Abyss, and some "succubi" in the Disorder Abyss can also appear in human form and fog. Convert between states.

One of the biggest speculations about why this succubus appeared in Saint Helte is that the succubus first parasitized on a devil, and then the devil brought it with him after being summoned.

Then there is the biggest possibility that the school did not intervene in time, and this accident was directly regarded as a test for the saint.

After all, low-level succubus can at best manipulate the mind or extract energy, and can always recover later.

It's just that the saint's [God-protecting Special Code] and her indomitable nature against corruption will force her potential to destroy the succubus, which will lead to an unpredictable period of weakness and debuffs.

"No, I understand Miss Eunice's difficulties." Rogers stopped Derek who wanted to speak up for him and nodded kindly to Eunice.

He didn't want to directly prevent the next crisis against Alice, but he was thinking about how to make Alice understand that some "kindness" and "hesitation" are not good things according to the plot, and then gain mental growth.

But before Luo Gesi could think about it, perhaps the succubus noticed the dangerous aura emanating from his body. A hidden magic power brewed in his hands, and he walked quickly behind Alice who was using healing special skills on the students. .

"I have to take care of this matter." Luo Gesi softly pushed away Alina's palm that had just grabbed his arm, and had no time to care about the other person's expression at the moment.

[Enlightenment Special] accelerated his thinking and quickly sorted out the next plan. At the same time, he took out a blood storage fruit from Idrul and held it in his hand.

"stop!"

After Rogers shouted loudly, Eunice, who could barely get close to Alice, instantly showed confusion on her face. The hot magic power in her palms could no longer be concealed. She used her hand to make a knife and stabbed Alice's face fiercely and quickly. Split between the necks.

stab-

Accompanied by the sound of tearing fabric, hot blood spattered on Alice's face. She watched in astonishment as her friend Eunice attacked her, but was blocked by Rogers who rushed over quickly. Attacked.

"Quick! Use your special code to imprison and seal Eunice first!" Rogers anxiously grabbed Eunice's two wrists and shouted towards Alice.

"No, she is just being controlled. The special cage will hurt..."

Alice explained in a panic and quickly summoned her magic power to cast a spell to help. Eunice directly knocked Rogers to the ground, and her palm sank deeply into the blood-stained and complicated dress, and a more majestic blood flowed out. Sprayed out from Logos's belly.

"Eunice"'s eyes were full of confusion, as if it hadn't yet realized what was happening at this moment.

[The comedian despises your acting skills. He thinks the excessive blood loss is a big failure. 】
