Your notoriety is known to everyone

Chapter 73 Frankness (two in one)

The curtains fluttered gently, like graceful tulle, dancing gracefully with the breeze.

Its swaying and thin shadow lingered on the bodies of Luo Gesi and Alina who were stunned.

"Do you want to come down first?" Rogers glanced sideways in the direction of the door.

He was "seriously injured" both mentally and physically yesterday. Even if the professors allowed him to recover, he still had to show some weakness as expected during the recovery period.

"Then what if I don't come down?" Alina leaned even lower, with a rare mischievous look in her eyes.

The soft, snow-white hair fell down on Luo Gesi's face, tickling his cheek, making him feel a slight itch.

"Then just pretend to be asleep. She can always come to me some time in the future when you are not around." Rogers brushed aside Alina's hair and said nonchalantly.

These words were very effective. Elena just frowned slightly when she heard this, and quickly got out of bed and sat upright on the seat beside the bed.

Luo Gesi also took advantage of the situation and stuffed the book under his pillow, pulled up the thin quilt on the side to cover himself, and instantly transformed into a weak boy lying on the bed.

He stretched out his hand and flicked a small bell-shaped magic prop hanging on the bedside, signaling to people outside the door that they could enter the house.

The healing center will equip the rooms with different functions for different types of patients. For example, the room in Rogers has a soundproof barrier for quiet rest and props to remind you of your condition.

As soon as the bell sounded, Alice gently pushed the door open. She was not surprised when she saw Alina. After nodding with her with a smile, her eyes fell on Rogers.

Because she had to go to class, she was not wearing casual clothes like Rogers who was recuperating and Alina who was taking care of the wounded, but she was wearing a decent college uniform.

The haggard face showed deep fatigue, the slender eyebrows were covered with a subtle shadow, there were traces of redness and swelling around the eye sockets, and the bright eyes seemed to have completely lost their former glory.

The breeze that flowed in from the window inadvertently blew by, stroking her messy hair, but it failed to bring any lively movement, and instead became more messy and entangled on her decadent face.

After Alice turned around and closed the door, she didn't make any more noise. She just silently picked up the wooden chair placed in the corner, placed it next to the bed, and sat down quietly.

Rogers was quite surprised to see the other party in such a depressed state.

He has never seen Alice show such an expression in the game. According to his impression, Alice may be sad, grieved, or angry, but she will never appear as numb as she is now.

At this time, Alina was no longer as aggressive towards Alice as before, and just quietly peeled the orange.

One after another, she carefully peeled the oranges and placed them on a clean tray.

After a while, Alice said softly through her dry throat with a hoarse and weak voice:

"Eunice is very sorry about what happened yesterday. She wants me to tell you that she will also go to Braidland during the winter vacation, and has notified her family to prepare generous gifts as an apology for hurting you this time. "

Luo Gesi shook his head and sighed, and said very generously: "She was just controlled by evil spirits. This has nothing to do with her. Just let her not feel guilty."

At the same time, he secretly speculated in his heart that the territory of the Eunice family, like the Delik family, was close to the southern border. Although the environment there was not as good as that of the Eastern border, it controlled a prosperous trade route with foreign races. Since it was said to be rich and valuable, There shouldn't be any less.

After all, he had helped her block the charge of harming the saint. If she wanted to appear too stingy, she would have to ask her father to come forward and ask for more.

Alice wanted to continue speaking, but somehow she fell silent again.

"Alice, regret can do nothing more than allow you to dwell on an unbearable past.

"If you continue like this, sooner or later it will grow into a devil following you, holding whips and thorns, and become a source of extreme pain.

“Let it not obscure the echo of virtue, but strive to make it the source of determination.”

Seeing Alice's appearance, Rogers said some dispensable reasons.

He didn't want Alice to understand anything. What happened yesterday was enough to change a lot.

The reason why I say this is just to express my attitude to Alice.

"It sounds very much like something that an old sage would say." Alice's lips reluctantly raised, forcing an unnatural and stiff smile.

She seemed to realize that this expression was inappropriate, and then her expression gradually turned tired again. After a little pondering, she continued to speak slowly:

"I owe you many, many things, the most important of which is three lives."

Rogers was startled when he heard this. Yesterday's incident could barely be counted as one. According to Alice's temperament, it was likely that the freshman competition was also included, and this was the last remaining one...

"I heard about the fate of Lock and Key from the vice-principal very early." Alice looked straight at Rogers, with a wry smile on her face:
“At first I was running away, wanting to bury this matter completely in my heart so that I wouldn’t have to think about it.

“But the less I want to face it, the more it will appear in my mind and even appear in my dreams.

"After that, as I kept recalling the scenes of that day, as I continued to learn about magic, and as I fought again and again in competitions or spell exercises.

"I suddenly began to dare not think about what would have happened if you had not turned sideways to avoid my brother's punch...

"So gradually, I realized that I couldn't resent you at all, or resent everything the Breed family did.

“It was I who chose you, it was I who made you bear this shameful fate, it was I who became a devil with whips and thorns in my hands, and became the source of your pain.

"I want to apologize, but what's the use of apologizing? As you said, it can't bring anything more..."

Alice's words floated in the space, as if the wind had stopped because of it, not wanting to disturb her narration.

She did not shy away from Alina's presence, and she spoke so seriously. Clear tears slid down her face, but she did not notice it at all.

Rogers wanted to say that it was not her fault and that she did not have to take everything on herself, but she understood that these words had no value at all.

He didn't like heavy things, so he thought about using some witty words to distract from the current dullness while restoring the previous atmosphere.But reality never becomes easier because of jokes, it only makes it more cruel.

"What do you wish for?" Alice asked suddenly.

Alina put down the orange in her hand and turned her gaze to Luo Gesi.

"Wish? My wish is quite greedy. I want to live a good life, live a little easier, a little longer, and a little more freely..." Rogers replied flatly.

"Then why are you still..." Alice's face was confused at first, and then her words seemed to have the gentleness of the past, and at the same time she also revealed a sense of determination: "It will happen, I promise."

After saying that, she stood up slowly, brushed the tears on her face with her fingers, then said goodbye and left the house.

Rogers watched her leave, exhaled a deep breath, lifted the quilt, stood up and sat cross-legged on the bed, rubbing his Jingming point with his fingers.

"What, are you feeling distressed or regretful?" Alina handed him a piece of orange.

"It's so sour." Rogers chewed a few times and commented with disgust.

Alina didn't reply. She wiped off her shoes with her feet skillfully, returned to the bed again, leaned next to Rogers, and put pieces of oranges into the mouth of Rogers, who took out the book and continued to read: "Not all oranges are that sweet."

"Professor Idrul promised me that he will teach me the magic of the plant department next semester. From now on, I will definitely be able to make all the oranges that enter my mouth very sweet." Rogers muttered as he ate. .

The sky outside the window changes with the passage of time, silently overlooking the passage of things and the changes in the world.

Lufia also directly chose to take leave in the next few days, and stayed with Erina in the house where Rogers was staying every day.

The professors were busy with their business for the day, and just after Elena and Lufia returned to the dormitory, they came to Luo Gesi to discuss various issues.

Perhaps because Rogers will leave school after the holidays, their motivation is far higher than before.

There are often many people huddled together to discuss various things, and at the same time, many academic circles outside the school will make progress in linguistics.

Logos is not particularly interested in linguistics, because it is currently in the theoretical stage, and he has been trying to develop actual magic spells without making any breakthrough.

However, Professor Kuli's new results surprised him.

Kuli made a launching rod based on the Möbius strip that can infinitely absorb and convert magic power. Because it is mainly made of magic crystal ore, it looks like a rough, gray columnar object, but it can A steady stream of pure magic erupts from the top.

In the past, what could achieve this effect must be a complete magic array base, and the materials used were extremely complicated and expensive. But now only such a thing is needed to achieve a perfect and stable energy supply.

In addition to the regret that the shelf life is only a short week, it is more exciting to be full of imagination about the future.

After Logos initially understood its structure, he clipped the launching rod into the magic book and fixed it firmly with a cowhide strap.

This allows the magic book to be continuously injected with magic power, so that it can better assist itself in the future.

By the end of the semester, Rogers had left the healing center.

The campus was covered with thick white snow, and the branches beside the road were covered with ice crystals. Everything was dominated by the cold, which made him feel uncomfortable.

The first moment he returned to his dormitory, he immediately lit the fireplace again.

After cleaning the house, he put all the important items into the canvas bag and put them away.

There is a busy and orderly atmosphere throughout St. Helte. The students gather together to say goodbye to each other. Some people will leave some small gifts or notes as souvenirs, each promising to keep in touch during the holidays.

Finally, everyone gathered in the auditorium. After listening to the professors led by the vice president to give the final speech, the students returned to their dormitories. Not long after, Alina and Lufia also brought their luggage to the wooden house where Rogers was. Convergence in the middle.

Just as they were discussing their plan to go home, someone they hadn't seen for a long time knocked on the door.

After Rogers opened the door, he saw a man about thirty years old, wearing a simple and neat white shirt and black trousers, dressed like an attendant.

"Oh, look who I saw. Isn't this Hans from Earl Breed's family?" Rogers smiled and invited him into the house.

Alina and Lufia also knew this personal attendant of Logos as early as in the Braid Territory, so he did not need too much introduction.

"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have grown a lot." A heartfelt smile appeared on Hans's face. He said happily after saluting the three people in front of him one by one.

"Is it high?" Luo Gesi touched his head, then stood on tiptoe and patted Hans' shoulder, and found that it was indeed easier to pat Hans than before.

"Yes, in addition to your height, you have also become more handsome and handsome..." Hans's compliments continued, and there was no sense of flattery in them. Instead, it was more like relief. After a moment of praise, his expression changed. Slowly becoming more dignified:
“As for this trip, we will first return to the Eastern Territory from Saint Helte’s teleportation circle, and then take a carriage back to the Breed Territory.

“Miss Alina’s father and Prince Leiaide both sent strong attendants and guards, and with Earl Breed’s arrangements, there shouldn’t be much of a problem with safety.

"But at this time, for some unknown reason, more and more cultists are coming to the Eastern Territory, especially the Harvest Cult. They are shouting about the Holy Son and are running around in the Eastern Territory, causing the Pantheon to send many priests. Came to the Eastern Territory.

"Before I came to St. Helta, I even heard that they were all gathering towards the Breed Territory recently, probably because they heard that the saint was returning home.

“There are also some members of the magic school who seem to be plotting against you.

"Finally, your reputation outside the school is even better..." Hans paused when he said this, and there was some worry on his face: "Master, I'm afraid that this slander against you..."

As if he didn't know what to say, Hans deliberately glanced at Lufia who was standing aside while he was sorting out his words.

"I understand, let's go." Luo Gesi understood the hidden meaning of Hans' words and signaled that everything should follow the family's arrangements.

"Follow your will." Hans stroked his chest and bowed deeply.

[The gods of the Abyss have cast a hidden gaze on you, and they hope you can hold more living sacrifices. 】
