Waves of breeze blew from the top of the Sage Tower, each strand carrying the coolness of the night, brushing through Luo Gesi's hair and sleeves, making him feel a refreshing coolness.
Vice Principal Avery was still wearing a linen robe and holding a short wooden staff. Her old eyes briefly glanced at Rogers, and then she said:
"Right here, let's have a fight."
Rogers was slightly startled when he heard the words, and looked at Alice standing next to Avery with doubtful eyes. However, the other person seemed to be as stunned as him and did not quite understand the current situation.
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Alice brushed her fingers through the wind-disturbed hair on her forehead, looking a little confused, and asked proactively.
"To defeat him, right here, use your abilities with all your strength. I will ensure that when he leaves the tower, he will be healthier and more energetic than before he went up to the tower."
Avery raised her hand and pointed at Rogers. When she spoke, although her body was short and stooped, her instructions were full of authority and momentum.
Rogers thought Avery called him here to admonish him for his behavior, or to talk about things like being a researcher, but he didn't expect something like this to happen.
He guessed that maybe the other party wanted to confirm the strength of him and Alice, or maybe he wanted to polish Alice's character, but he didn't care much about it. He just silently stroked his chest and performed the student salute, then summoned the magic book. come out.
The pages of the magic book in her hand were slowly turned. With each page passed, the magic power on Rogers' body would become stronger. However, Alice's face was still full of hesitation. Light slowly gathered in her hand, revealing the long sword. film.
"Alice, what are your responsibilities as a saint?" Avery frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Guard Luo... the world!" The lightsaber in Alice's hand suddenly solidified, and she quickly replied in a halting but firm tone.
Avery slowly took her hand back and pressed it on the top of the wooden stick. She took a deep breath, then gently let it out, and continued to ask:
"If Logos becomes a disaster and may overturn the entire world, how will you deal with him?"
Alice's expression was still firm and determined, and she immediately responded: "I will imprison him personally, monitor him at all times, and will not give him any chance."
The wind hummed softly, shuttling back and forth on the top of the tower, stirring the hair and clothes of the people on it.
Avery watched Alice quietly. She had long expected that Rogers would become an obstacle to Alice, but she never thought that it would appear in this way or to such an extent.
"My child, because of your existence, the saint has grown at a speed far beyond her destiny, and the exchanges in the magic community have become more and more prosperous. Even the students around you are astonishing in strength compared to previous students.
“But at the same time, the stars have become confused, destiny has become unclear, the future has become increasingly uncertain, and the future seems chaotic and blurry.
"The political situation in the empire is turbulent, cultists have become more active as time goes by, and the magic community has been involved in continuous battles due to academic differences. Even the Pantheon has sent priests to St. Helta to study...
"Smart people will adapt themselves to the environment, while fools will only insist on the environment adapting to themselves, but history is often created by the latter.
"You once said this and then acted this way, but are these the world you want and the history you want?"
Avery looked at Rogers, his eyes full of seriousness, and asked in a very low tone.
Upon seeing this, Luo Gesi silently closed the magic book. He felt that there was no need for a duel at the moment.
This questioning pattern seemed very familiar. The guy who was thinking about biting him every day seemed to have asked him this way.
Do people who can glimpse destiny like this kind of question that favors grand narratives?
"Honestly, I just want to improve myself and move forward according to my own vision. As for what you said, there may be some reasons for it on my part, but it should not be my fault."
After Luo Gesi thought about it, he chose to speak very sincerely.
"So this is just dust thrown up on your way forward?" Avery sighed inexplicably. She raised her palm, and there was a crystal-clear crystal-like rune floating on her palm. It was in the shape of a rhombus, making people... It just looks light and elegant.
She pondered for a moment, then continued:
"This is a high-level space attribute rune. It can be enchanted on your magic book, giving it the ability to store physical objects.
“Also, I have approved your application to become a researcher, and can directly grant you the qualification to be a lecturer at St. Helta.
"Is it okay to use these in exchange for the right to own the Shadow Demon, and for you to go to the south with Alice at the beginning of summer to help Eunice and Pasima deal with the cursed objects?"
"At the beginning of summer? Okay, thank you for your trust and entrustment." Rogers agreed without much thinking. At the same time, he simply took out the Shadow Demon from the magic book and threw it over. The runes naturally fell in front of Luo Gesi.
The Shadow Demon could originally be used as a sparring tool, but as his strength grew, it was no longer of any use.
As for the Eunice incident, it was not supposed to break out until the summer vacation. The vice-principal moved the time so early, perhaps because some kind of change had occurred and it was just in time to take a look.
But then he would have to take Alina with him, and Lufia would also have to take a leave of absence. After all, he had promised the prince to leave her alone at school. It was hard to say whether the heirs of the imperial power would make an issue with her.
[The gods of the Bottomless Pit were bored that the battle had not started, and they all looked away. 】
Finally, Avery waved his hand slightly and sent Rogers directly back to the door of his cabin.
"Alice! My Alice! I'm finally back with you!"
The Shadow Demon held Alice's waist and cried loudly, unscrupulously venting his endless grievances and surprises.
"Thank you." Alice expressed her gratitude to Avery while stroking the Shadow Demon's hair.
"It has inherited your characteristics, as well as some of Luo Gesi's sage talents. As long as you teach it carefully, its future is limitless." Avery looked at the love in Alice's eyes, sighed inaudibly, and followed road:
"But the potential that Logos possesses is not only sages, but also prophets. Prophets can not only glimpse the future, but also communicate with the gods.
"And he is holding a magic book from the Bottomless Pit. When the world-destroying disaster was born in the East, the Pantheon announced that there was also the aura left by the gods of the Bottomless Pit..."
Seeing Alice purse her lips and say nothing, Avery immediately confirmed his suspicion.
"Watch him and guide him. This is a responsibility you cannot escape."
Avery sighed, and wanted to pat the back of Alice's hand to give instructions, but when he saw Alice's actions to comfort the Shadow Demon, he turned his gaze to the stars in the sky, and his eyes suddenly became extremely complicated. .
…
In the bedroom on the second floor of the cabin, after washing, Rogers was wearing pajamas and sitting in front of his desk. He held the space rune in his hand and kept gesticulating on the magic book, wondering how to enchant it. Maximum utility.
"So you handed it over without hesitation?" Elena, wearing a plain white nightgown, leaned over and put her hands around Rogers' neck, asking in a very calm voice.
"The Shadow Demon has a contract engraved on it. When I want to use it, the other party can't refuse it. Besides, it's really of no use to me now. It still makes trouble from time to time. It's better to exchange it for something better.
"By the way, don't you feel cold in this? The neckline is too big, and don't you have rubber cords in your bra? Why does it look loose and flat...
"Ah! Damn it! Why are you so heavy-handed?!"
After hearing the words, Luo Gesi turned his head to respond, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a stinging pain on his neck. He had to put down the space rune and push the opponent's cheek away with both hands.
"I've tolerated you for a long time! No matter how docile a rabbit is, it will bite when it's anxious!"
He stood up and faced Alina, saying angrily.
"Why, do you want a bite too?" Alina chuckled, tilting her head slightly, with her slender neck looming amid the scattered white hair.
The top of the bedroom in the wooden house was also engraved with lighting runes. Under the soft white light, the girl's face looked particularly soft.
As she tilted her head, the wide neckline of her nightgown slid to one shoulder, revealing a large area of delicate skin and smooth lines.
Lying on the bed not far away, Lufiya wrinkled her nose slightly in a large sleeping position. She tried her best to open her eyes slightly, turned to look at the two people who seemed to be standing up to confront each other, and muttered vaguely:
"keep your voice down……"
After speaking, she stretched out her hand to scratch her belly under her blouse, then took out the pillow under her head and covered her head to block the bright light that made her uncomfortable.
Elena didn't say anything after hearing this, she just shrugged slightly, gave Rogers a contemptuous look, then turned around and prepared to go to bed.
However, before she could take a few steps, she felt an extremely sharp stabbing pain on her neck.
"Ah! Damn it! Did you eat my hair?! The saliva is so dirty! I have to wash it again!"
She angrily grabbed Rogers by the back of his collar and threw him onto the bed, ready to bully him and start the routine.
Lufia heard the sound of the two fighting in her ears, turned around and curled up into a ball, pressed her ears with the pillow, trying to avoid this annoying noise that disturbed her sleep.
As time goes by, the sun rises from the horizon, covering everything with a warm and bright golden morning light.
Logos yawned and came to the arena and sat in the same position as yesterday.
He beat Alina hard for a long time last night. Not only did he waste a lot of sleep time, but there was still a lot of soreness left in various parts of his body.
Not long after he sat down, he was told by Alderey that he could no longer participate in this competition and would not be counted in the ranking, but he would also automatically receive the same reward as the first place.
The school did not give too many detailed reasons, and Alderey just casually said, "You should know the reasons yourself" and said no more.
Logos was very happy about this, and immediately went to the library, borrowed many books on space magic techniques and enchantment, and returned to the cabin to study.
Without the participation of Luo Gesi, the style of the competition has been very stable, with regular magic battles between magicians.
It's just that people often throw some ordinary lime powder out, and many male students will focus most of their attention on their lower bodies during the competition.
By the end of the competition, Alina and Alice were tied for first place, and Lufia was unexpectedly ranked fifth, behind the third prince.
As for the third place, it was even more surprising. It was taken by Kelvins, the chief of Morost College.
The earth has completely awakened from the bleakness of winter, the trees are full of fresh green, the flowers are blooming, and everything is glowing with warmth, forming a harmonious and beautiful picture.
Derek often held a notebook in school, tracking his classmates from each school with his eyes, and scratching out names one by one with a quill as the interest was collected.
Because of his actions, his classmates privately gave him a self-consciously appropriate title - the Demon King's Evil-Faced Hound.
Edith occasionally helped Derek complete the task of recovering credits. At the same time, he continued to collect various words and deeds of Rogers at school, and kept copying the words of "Jade Jade" and "Ecclesiastes" that Rogers once said. He turned it into leaflets and distributed them to students in various colleges every day, which made the students feel that they were crazy again.
"A Series of Ideas About Gears" was actually published with Kuli's help, triggering a manufacturing and experimental movement called the "Gear Wave" in the craftsman world.
Unlike craftsmen and inventors, many mathematicians pay more attention to the coordinate system used in the book to explain the composition more vividly.
A steady stream of letters from all walks of life were sent to Saint Helta, and Logos's name as a sage was spread more and more loudly.
Dong dong dong——
At noon, continuous crashing sounds sounded in the living room of Rogers' wooden house.
There was a wooden round table in front of him, and on the table was a gear-driven machine with a square structure.
There is a pitch-black rod-shaped object stuck vertically above this machine, which is the magic launching rod invented by Professor Curry.
With the rotation of the gears and the swing of the mechanical arm, it hammered hard against the magic book below again and again, as if it wanted to completely smash the space runes on the cover of the magic book into the book.
With each impact, the top of the launch rod will emit some magic power, causing fluorescent flashes.
"It's so noisy. How long do you have to beat this thing to get better?" Alina, who was sitting on the sofa, asked in a very impatient tone.
"According to Professor Cooley's estimate, it will take about two days." Rogers replied, touching his chin.
"It's been two days...can you turn it off tonight? It's really noisy." Lufia, who was sitting next to Elena, was disappointed when she heard this, and she pried with her mouth pitifully.
Logos carefully observed the process of the space runes gradually dissipating. Before he could respond, there was a louder knock on the door outside the house, and Idrul's unique voice also came:
"Come and open the door! The reporter from the Imperial City News said that your gear invention has greatly reduced printing costs, so they came here to interview you, my most proud disciple!"
