The sun slowly sets, disappearing behind the horizon, and the sky turns from bright to dark.

As soon as Rogus stepped out of the cabin, he felt a gentle breeze blowing, bringing with him the rustle of leaves and a subtle coolness.

He looked up at the stars twinkling in the night sky, and slowly shifted his gaze downwards to the most magnificent tower on campus, the famous Sage Tower.

"Hopefully Professor Idrul is still working in the Tower."

Rogers tightened his trench coat with his hand and walked towards the Sage's Tower.

He didn't want to come out so late, but for some reason, after Montroy was sent out of the door, he stood outside the door for a long time, until he had just turned around and left completely......

Halfway through the hour, Rogus came to the door of the Sage's Tower, calmed his mind a little, and walked inside.

The walls of the Philosopher's Tower are inlaid with intricate runes and patterns, all faintly glowing.

The high ceiling is hung with huge crystal lamps, emitting a soft glow that illuminates the entire hall on the first floor.

Rogers stepped on the marble floor, and the turbulence of his walk echoed in a regular clatter.

"Kid, come to the top floor."

A gentle, old voice appeared in Rogers' ears, one he recognized, and he had been admonished by the same familiar voice at the entrance ceremony.

"Yes, Vice Principal Avery

Rogers saluted his chest and walked up the spiral staircase, climbing to the top without squinting.

He had come here to expose the evil members of the Society lurking in St. Herte to the Professor, and since the Vice-Chancellor had called him, it was better to report it to the Vice-Chancellor.

Moreover, these people from the Harvesters Association were originally put in by the Vice Principal, and what they told her might have some unexpected effects.

The Sage Tower is already towering from the outside, and the inside seems to be much higher than the outside.

Rogers had been climbing the stairs for nearly an hour, and seemed to be barely a third of the way.

[Inform! Your actions have caught the attention of a being! 】

[The bottomless pit of laughter casts a gaze at you, asking if you are about to commit an act of betrayal.] 】

The sudden pop-up prompt made Rogers stunned for a moment, and then he straightened his face, slowed down his climb, and responded mentally in his heart.

"How can it be said to be a betrayal? I'm just fulfilling my deal with Monteroy. ”

[The bottomless pit laughs at your shamelessness, and his two eyeballs shoot into the curtain of the world with uncontrollable laughter.] 】

[He thanks you for the joke, and as a token of appreciation, His generous offer will cover up your betrayal, and the Harvesters will never be aware that it has happened.] 】

[Inform! The curtain of the world has been revised to the present world, and the bottomless pit of laughter artists will not be able to cast their eyes again for a short time. 】

Silently putting the tooltip away, Rogus quickened his pace again.

This was the result of the oath he had just made to the Bottomless Pit that, unlike other gods, the gods of the Bottomless Pit would never truly shelter their followers.

Either they are paranoid, insane, or fun, and if they do what they like, even those on opposite sides are likely to be gifted.

And most importantly, Rogers didn't feel that his current actions had anything to do with betrayal, and as an upright student of St. Herthe, he had an obligation to expose the existence of such a worm.

After some time, he finally climbed to the top floor out of breath.

Avery seemed to have been waiting for Rogers for a long time, her hands propped up on her short wooden staff, her eyelids drooping low, as if they were going to close completely at any moment.

"Vice Principal Avery?" Rogers breathed heavily, and called softly.

"Oh, you're finally here, huh?" Avery slowly came back to his senses and said in a slow tone, "Come here, come with me and look at the stars." ”

"Yes." Rogers bowed his head very obediently, took the initiative to take the arm of the little old woman, and walked with her to the edge of the top floor, looking up at the starry sky as he said.

"Tell me, what did you come to the Sage Tower for?"

After a moment, Avery turned to look at Rogers with a smile in his eyes.

Rogers had the feeling that he already knew what he was going to say next, but he pondered his words and reported the matter to Avery as usual.

At the same time, he also explained that the reason why the other party would find him was probably because he had mastered a copy of the Fallen Classics.

"Hmm...... Your report is enough to smooth out the mistakes you made at the entrance ceremony, and the 1,000 credits don't need to be penalized. Avery took Rogers' palm with relief, patted the back of his hand, and continued, "Child, do you feel comfortable with St. Herthe?" ”

"There were some places that I loved, but there were places where I did find it hard to fit in."

Rogers replied with a rare seriousness, because he knew that hiding and lying were useless to the old woman in front of him, not because the other party had any ability to break through the [Ignorance Bonus], but simply because the other party's experience and experience were too high, so high that Rogers's little tricks could not have any effect on it.

"So what are you going to do? Will you struggle to adapt? The smile on Avery's face remained unchanged as he asked.

"A wise man adapts himself to his environment, while a fool only insists on adapting to his environment, but I always believe that history is often made by the latter." Rogers responded sincerely.

"My first encounter with magic was astrology, and what I was best at was astrology.

"But tonight's stars have become more obscure in my eyes than yesterday's, and yesterday's stars are even more obscure than the day before yesterday." Avery grabbed Rogers' palm and looked back at the stars again.

Her gaze wandered, as if she had been chasing something, and the stars reflected in her old eyes, but she couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.

"Shouldn't that be a good thing?" Rogers said tentatively.

"A good thing?" Avery was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her mouth turned upward, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and the fine lines at the end of her eyes became more pronounced by the spread of laughter, and then she began to pat the back of Rogers' hand with pleasure: "Yes! It's a good thing! What a good thing!

"Stinky boy! Thank you for making me an old woman so late, go back to sleep! ”

Rogers was about to reply, when his gaze suddenly shifted, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in front of the door of his cabin.

……

"Can't even you see anything?"

The moment Rogus vanished, Idrul slowly emerged from the shadows, stroking his beard and smiling.

"He will be the great enemy of the Holy Maiden." The smile on Avery Eyry's face slowly disappeared, and he shook his head and sighed, "Regarding the rules for the competition for the chief of the freshmen of Hilmy Academy, you go and change it." ”

Hearing this, Idrul also lost his smile, but looked at Avery with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief, "Do you think the Holy Maiden will lose to this child?!" ”
