Chapter 8: The Power of the Holy Maiden's Bloodline
The gates of the Earls' Court are magnificent, made of heavy hand-cast iron.
The faΓ§ade is intricately patterned, and every detail has been carefully designed and carved to show the authority and history of the ancient aristocratic mansion.
Two gatekeepers, dressed in fancy costumes, stood on either side of the gate, staring sharply and vigilantly at the little girl in front of them.
"Miss Alice, even if you have the favor of the Lord, you can't force your way into the noble man's court at will, so you should leave before the sheriff arrives."
One of the gatekeepers kindly reminded.
"I'm sorry, but I have a hunch that something bad may have happened to my brother, so I beg you to let me in." Alice frowned and pleaded anxiously.
Just as the other gatekeeper was about to violently drive away, Rogers called Alice to the side.
"The doors of the Earl's Court are usually closed and only open at certain moments, and usually I walk through the side door when I enter and exit the mansion."
Rogers explained aloud to Alice, who was galloping towards her with her skirt in her hand.
"I'm sorry, I'm so ignorant of etiquette, so can we go to the side door now?" Alice hurriedly bowed and walked in the direction Rogers had come from.
"Wait a minute!" Rogers grabbed her wrist, but was surprised to find that she couldn't hold it.
What do girls in this world grow up eating? Why do you have so much strength for one or two?
[Alice activates the Sunny Day Bonus, and when the sky is clear, her strength will be doubled.] γ
The pop-up light curtain answered Rogess's question, and he used all his strength again, just enough to stop Alice's footsteps, and another prompt box popped up.
[Alice activates the Night Bonus, and when she enters the night, her basic constitution will be greatly enhanced.] γ
That's why Rutgers doesn't want to be an enemy of the other side.
The Holy Maiden Bloodline enjoys the favor of the world, but whenever she needs it, the world will send corresponding privileges to help her.
As her strength grows, the bonuses she gets will get stronger and stronger, and there is no reason at all.
Ordinary people only have a small chance of being blessed by the world when they are born, and the possibility of getting a bonus like Rogers is very small.
If he is now in the special situation of three bonuses, there will never be more than ten recorded in history.
But this does not include the Holy Maiden, or the Holy Maiden bloodline is the biggest bonus.
She was born destined to receive an endless stream of blessings as long as she awakened.
In other words, Alice's ability to activate multiple bonuses also shows that she has awakened her bloodline.
This made Rogers feel extremely puzzled, obviously the other party didn't even know what happened to Kevin, how did he wake up.
Did you guess wrong in the first place? Not an Uchiha template at all? Or is it the butterfly effect that affects the progress of the plot?
Pressed into confusion, Rogers hurriedly shouted to Alice, "If you go in and find Kevin now, it will only happen that we don't want to see." β
[Alice activates the Intuition Bonus in an attempt to judge your words.] γ
[Ignorance bonus is passively triggered, please choose whether to pass the judgment or not.] γ
"Kevin is now only imprisoned in the Earl's Court, and the Minister of Justice has secretly interrogated him while I was not looking, and has left him with some injuries, but his limbs are still sound and alive.
"I swear by the glory of the Breed family, and from this moment on, I will guarantee that Kevin will not be harmed in any way until the moment he leaves the Earl's Court." Rogers swore with a sincere face.
[The intuition bonus has passed, and the above words are not lies.] γ
Of course, Rogers wasn't lying, he just selectively told part of the truth, and then used it to reassure the girl.
Xu is words finally had an effect, and Alice's footsteps paused slightly, and slowly turned around.
Her eyes were red, and tears were accumulating in the corners of her eyes, sliding down her cheeks, leaving damp marks.
"Did you just wrestle? How could it be so careless? Alice noticed Rogers' messy collar, reached out to help him smooth it, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Ah...... I'm sorry, but my nonsense must have made you anxious, right? Please forgive me for being such a rude stupid fellow.
"I beg your pardon for my brother's stupidity, he is so arrogant that he should not have used violence against you, even if he is injured, he should be punished, I am really sorry for you.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so ......"
Tears were still streaming from Alice's face, and apologetic words kept pouring out of her mouth.
"None of this is your fault." Rogers bent his fingers and gently brushed away the girl's tears, and said in a complicated and slow tone.
When he didn't know how to continue comforting, Alice suddenly leaned forward and rushed into his arms, her arms tightly wrapped around him.
Rogers was stunned for a moment, in his memory, this was the first time that the other party was so close to him, but he didn't give any response, but admonished flatly:
"I don't need to do this, I'll take good care of Kevin."
The expected intuition bonus was not triggered, only the weakness trembling in his arms would let out a few whimperes from time to time.
Rogers' throat rolled, he didn't know how to face Alice, and he didn't want the hands that he had just used to drown his brother to lift up and hug each other.
It's not a game, it's a reality, and everyone's emotions are real.
He didn't understand why that damn fate had to choose such a gentle child to bear all this damn everything.
"Can I trust you, Lord Lord?"
The girl in her arms asked a supplicating question with a trembling voice.
The two small hands gripped the clothes behind Rogers' back as if they were grasping at a life-saving straw.
Rogers' lips squirmed a few times, and he responded flatly, "Yes." β
As the words fell, Alice quickly withdrew from her arms, bowed deeply and vigorously, and then ran away without looking back.
The Intuition bonus still shows no signs of triggering, but instead lights up with an unexpected and reasonable hint.
[Avery Greywood unleashes probe magic on you, and the Ignorance bonus is passively triggered, please choose whether to pass the judgment or not.] γ
Rogers silently chose to refuse, Avery Greywood, it seems that the vice-principal of the strongest magic school in the empire came, this old lady must have come because of Alice, who had just awakened.
"Young Master......"
Hans's timid voice came from behind him, and Rogers turned his head to see him following Elena, looking like he was talking and stopping.
"Don't talk, don't ask me questions.
"It's nightfall, it's time to eat, and tomorrow when the great Earl returns, I don't think I will have enough to eat for a long time to come."
Rogers waved his hand at the two of them and walked towards the side door with a blank face.
