Chapter 56: Sending You to the Gods (2-in-1)
"I'm sorry, I've been underestimating you all along."
Before the light came, Alina heard the shouts and apologized to Rogers with a guilty face.
"You know me, I've never disdained anything bad, and the situation in front of me really has nothing to do with me."
Rogers' face sank, and he unjustly accused the other party of the shameful slander hidden behind the words.
As soon as he finished speaking, six figures in black robes and hoods fell in front of him one after another.
The six men were tall and short, fat and thin, all wearing non-perforated copper masks in the shape of animals.
They are hyenas, jackals, rats, monkeys, goats, and rabbits.
Their hands and forearms stretched out from their black robes were all wrapped in layers of white cloth, as if their skin could not see the light.
"Are you...... Monteroy? Rogers asked, looking at the man in the rabbit mask and faintly leading the leader.
"That's not who I really am, you can call me Melusie now."
Meluccie stepped forward slowly, her voice soft, each note fluttering softly, each syllable flowing delicately, like honey sweetness, flowing in Rogers' ears.
The black robe she wore was tighter than the others, outlining the immature green curves.
"What about the real Monteroi?" Rogers asked.
At the moment, he was secretly activating the [Enlightenment Bonus], quickly recalling all kinds of game texts through his monocle, but he couldn't find the slightest trace of the name "Melusie" in any case.
In the original plot, this "Melusie" always appeared in the form of Monteroi, and even at the end of the dungeon, nothing changed.
"The real Monteroy was captured by the other members before he entered St. Herte, and I don't know what his current fate is.
"The body I used before was a puppet made with special skills, and now I am not a real person, I am also a puppet, and the members here are all members.
"But even if it's a doll, it's not much different from my real body shape, are you still satisfied?"
Melusie nodded happily in a circle, showing her posture, her tone full of anticipation and longing, and occasionally a few trills in her words, as if she was enduring something.
As for the other five, they were all kneeling on the ground by this time, rubbing their masks against the ground not far in front of Rogers, and they didn't know what strange worship they were doing.
Before Rogus could answer the question, he felt a cold gaze that seemed to turn into substance, and it was Alina staring at him with half-closed eyes.
"Holy Son, this despicable woman already knows your identity, should we get rid of her immediately?"
Melusie also sensed Alina's gaze, and gritted her teeth and said coldly.
"No, I trust her." Rogers shook his head immediately, and at this time he also understood why the other party was calling himself in the name of "Holy Son" in a loud voice, and he had been calling "we" as the first person.
Alina didn't say much, but moved closer to Rogus than the other party, straightening her chest slightly by the way, and looking at the other party with imperceptible contempt in her eyes.
"What are they doing?" Afraid that Melucci would continue to dwell on the topic, Rogers turned his attention to the five guys who were still mopping the floor with their masks.
"According to their rank and corresponding etiquette, you should have knelt down and kissed the dust at your feet as a sign of piety.
"But without your permission, they can't stain your glory without permission, and can only kneel at your feet to show their respect and respect."
Melusie sensed the meaning of changing the subject, and responded with an unconcealed sense of loss.
Rogers bowed slightly, according to the hidden meaning of these words, the identity of the other party who can stand by his side and answer normally should be much higher than these five people, or the status of the other party in the entire Harvester Association will not be too low.
But the guy who can be put into St. Helte by the vice principal is not destined to be too high.
He couldn't recall the characters in question for a while, and he didn't have much time to search for the text at the moment, so after a moment's silence, he continued to ask:
"Do you have succubus blood in you?"
From the first sentence of the other party's conversation with him, the prompt box kept popping up the message of [Ignorance Bonus] passively resisting the charm feature, because the bullet was too frequent, forcing him to turn on the option to hide the same message.
"The Holy Son is really smart, and he can see me through at a glance~" Melusia twisted her body and replied very frankly.
The contempt buried in Alina's eyes instantly dissipated, and her eyebrows unconsciously frowned slightly, and her gaze at Melusie changed to a hint of vigilance.
Rogers didn't have time to notice Alina's expression, and his mind began to run through his mind.
Pretending to be Monteroy, succubus blood, not very strong, and not low status in the Harvesters Association......
Even with so many conditions, he still couldn't find the corresponding character.
Could it be that this guy, like Alina, is just a scrap in the plot, but in fact, there are many things that have not really been presented in the advancement of the route?
Shaking off the chaotic thoughts, he cleared his throat slightly:
"I believe that you have mastered the position of the Holy Maiden, but being able to sneak into St. Herte quietly also means that your strength level will not be too high.
"If my guess is correct, this ability to strip away from the playing field should also be with the help of high-level props unique to your association that contain the art of stripping magic.
"So in order to better subdue the Holy Maiden and complete the tasks assigned by the gods, I hope you can accompany me in a play later.
"If you can help me do my job well, I will give you the opportunity to meet the gods."
The five people who were kneeling on the ground let out a heavy gasp when they heard this, and the movement of rubbing the ground with their masks became more and more vigorous.
Melusie nodded excitedly and immediately agreed, and at the same time, a depraved mark was added to her spirit again, which made her almost collapse to the ground.
"Can't they make a sound?" Rogers looked at the five men on the ground, and if he couldn't answer out loud, he would have to prepare five more parchment scrolls to make the deed.
"They can't speak freely without your permission." Meluccie explained in a slightly dry voice.
Rogers was stunned, and as soon as he gave the five men the floor to speak, they immediately shouted in a loud voice:
"Follow your will!"
The fact that things could go so smoothly greatly exceeded Rogers's expectations, and according to his assumption, he should have had a few more clichés and fools, but he didn't expect that the role of faith could be so powerful.
Just as the contract was completed, a cluster of demon-devouring mushrooms behind him suddenly erupted in spouts, covering him and Alina.
"The arena is going to riot." Rogers watched as Alina waved his hand and threw out a few wind blades, easily blowing away the spores and chopping up the devouring mushrooms, and said with a slightly solemn expression:
"As long as the last contestant is retained, he will be the winner, and the referee will be able to completely end his role of supervising the match and leave the venue.
"It seems that the referee has started to rush and wants to expel the rest of the people quickly and desperately.
"After all, even if you strip the playing field, the academy badge that the cadets possess can locate St. Helte in time and space, enough to send them back the way they came, according to the established rules.
"We must find the Holy Maiden as soon as possible, before she may be deported back to St. Herthe."
Rutgers knew that Alice had already known that this was a trial specially arranged for her by the school, and she would not leave the competition until she had to.
But the situation has changed too much, for example, according to the development of the plot, the first thing Meluccie found should not be herself, but Alice.
In order to prevent more accidents, it is safest to speed up the process.
He pulled a hemp rope from his sleeve pocket, quickly tied Aliana's hands in a slipknot, and then took out another and tied it around both of his wrists.
"You're spoilers outside of the game, and the presence in the arena won't attack you, so you can just protect the two of us, after all, the more people in the arena, the better it will be for us.
"Finally, now that the two of us are your captives, you will take us hostage and threaten the Holy Maiden later."
Rogers quickly explained a few words to the members of the Harvesters' Guild, and immediately asked them to lead the way as soon as possible.
In order to take care of Rogus and Aliana, the members no longer fly high with spells, but instead surround the two of them, ready to watch out for any changes around them.
As Rogers ran from tree to tree, he instinctively sensed that the elements of the space that belonged to the Fallen were rising.
The sky illuminated by the purple glow of the blasphemous runes carved with blasphemous distortions, filled the forest with a dark and oppressive atmosphere, making everything seem strange and hazy.
However, this feeling of being wrapped in the aura of depravity made him feel as comfortable and comfortable as returning home, and even further strengthened his physique.
The members of the Harvesters Association used all kinds of elemental magic to destroy the sudden poisonous vines, while constantly praising the wisdom of the Holy Son.
Rogers smiled shyly in response, sorting out the next steps needed to get rid of them.
Although these guys look arrogant to the point of daring to invade St. Herte, they still come with a spirit possession puppet, and they must have a key item to return to the corresponding time and space like the academy badge.
Therefore, to be sacrificed, only their spirits can be sacrificed, and the corresponding flesh is missing.
For this kind of firewood salary, Rutgers can't look down on it at all.
After that, if Plan A does not work, it is necessary to carefully plan the materials required for Plan B.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the guy named Melusie a few more times as he ran.
After about a quarter of an hour, Alice stood at the fork in the trail in the distance.
The other party looked slightly tired, and in front of him lay a fallen black giant wolf.
Beside her, a panting Drake and Eunice were watching their surroundings with wary faces.
The three of them were all surprised when they saw Rogus running over, and after seeing the hemp rope on Rogus and Alina's wrists, as well as the black-robed man surrounding them, the magic power of the three of them instantly stirred up, and their faces gradually became ugly.
"Are you the invaders from the Harvest Cult?"
Alice looked vigilantly at the Harvesters Guild who had stopped not far in front of her, her gaze swept over Rogus without hesitation, but after making sure that there was no obvious damage on the other party's body, her nervous expression relaxed slightly.
"Huh! Cult?! Is a god who doesn't enter the pantheon an evil god?! I think you who are bound by those stupid rules are the real cultists!
"Now the entire competition venue is under our control, and we have a chief hostage from Hillmy Academy!
"Holy Maiden, if you don't want this handsome young master to be stripped of his clothes on the spot and create a few children in front of you, it's best to obediently let us strip a few high-ranking bonuses, and we will be happy to let you return to St. Herte safely."
Melusie first refuted Alice's insult fiercely, and then excitedly grabbed Rogers by the collar, and the action was full of impatience.
"You dare?!"
Alice's eyes instantly burst into flames of rage, and the magic power around her suddenly rolled and stopped, condensing into a rich streamer that swirled around, setting off a burst of coercion that made several people around her frightened.
Not only her, but Alina also cast an indifferent gaze on Melusie at the moment, her eyes slowly lowered, and her lips slightly closed as if she was chanting some kind of incantation that did not need to be spoken.
"I ...... How can you be so arrogant as to dictate the size of my guts? ”
Melusie wanted to continue to refute, but for some reason, two senses of crisis abruptly beat in front of her and behind her, which made her change her words from her heart.
"Well, thank you for helping me find Alice, now please stand still and cooperate with me to finish this play."
Rogers easily broke free of the hemp rope from his hand, and then removed Melusie's small hand from his collar.
He took out a delicate, transparent diamond-shaped vial from his sleeve pocket, which was filled with a colorless liquid.
This is a potion called Guling Soup, which has the effect of strengthening the spirit and soul, and often acts as a material for higher-level spirit or soul potions.
In addition to this regular effect, it can also be attached to most spells to achieve the effect of directly attacking souls and spirits.
Despite its small size, it cost Rogers most of the credits he had accumulated to redeem it.
If it weren't for the money that Derick received in time, he might not have been able to redeem it.
Clicks–
As the bottle broke, the Solid Spirit Soup quickly fell to the ground, followed by a slight tremor in the Magic Guide Book, and a strong earth element gradually gathered under the feet of the members of the Harvesters Association.
In disbelief, they moved their masks to their own Son, they didn't understand what the Son was going to do.
However, the previous contract made them have to act according to Rogers's orders, unable to open their mouths or move, and could only wait for the earth elemental to gather quickly.
Puff –
Spikes glowing with purple glow burst from the ground, piercing their puppet bodies in an instant, lifting them to a height of more than three meters.
"Wait! You can't do that! ”
Alice's intuition seemed to sense what Rogers was doing next, and she hurriedly stopped it with an anxious expression.
But with a snap of Rogess's fingers, several spikes erupted from the spike's body again, completely piercing all the members except Melusie into the shape of a sea urchin.
Rogers also fulfilled his promise at this time, sending the people of the Harvesters Guild to the gods.
But this god is not a bottomless pit, but a game spirit of the Discord Abyss.
It's just that for the creatures of the Discord Abyss, the existence contaminated with the aura of a strong bottomless pit may not be too good food.
This is also the reason why the rioting competition venue did not increase its efforts to get rid of them.
After all, they are not within the rules of the game, they either actively run away or die passively, and if they die, they can only be charged by the game judge.
"Aren't they bad people? Why can't you kill it? ”
After snapping his fingers, Rogers pretended to be confused and asked in surprise.
