In the ancient winding staircase, the sound of footsteps on the ground became clearer, and the smoke and fog between the stairwells became thicker and thicker.

Edith looked down at the stairs he had just climbed, swallowed hard, and his heart seemed to beat to the rhythm of his steps.

A pair of dark green eyes appeared densely, and thick smoke kept surging and filling.

Silver-haired, well-haired, well-dressed boy emerges from the green light and smoke.

Seeing this, Edith's muscles tightened, his teeth tightened, and the few words he had just brewed in his mind were gone.

His face gradually turned pale, his breathing was rapid and irregular, and the little sweat oozing from his forehead reflected the uneasiness in his heart.

His hands clutched at the hem of his clothes, as if it was the only thing that would make him feel safe.

The magic that was originally used to resist the invasion of the cold was also disturbed by his mood, causing him to feel a breath of cold flowing back and forth in his bone marrow, and countless cold hands caressed his skin, constantly taking away the little temperature.

At this time, he probably understood why Caspar would get close to the third prince at all costs, and why Rivers seemed to be in a trance and lost all day after being forced to report Rogers.

The other party was able to ascend the stairs so calmly and casually, without any fatigue, and the smoke demons surrounding him were not at all like a test, but rather supported him.

Edith was sure that this situation was definitely not normal!

Also, how can it be normal to be able to compete with the Holy Maiden and be summoned by the professor often......

Rogers ascended to the fourth floor and walked in front of Edith, his brow furrowed slightly, and his expression became a little strange.

According to the plot, Edith should accompany the third prince and try his best to catch up with the saint.

After all, the other party bears the responsibility of triggering the key plot.

Facing Rogess's scrutiny, Edith's expression stiffened, his body tensed, and he didn't dare to use his magic power at all, for fear that Rutgers would think it was a provocative move, and the two people beside him were the same.

The situation in front of them has clearly shown that the moment they make a move, it is estimated that they will be instantly suppressed by Rogers, and then become a clown in the burlesque.

The third prince definitely didn't want them to really stop Rutgers, just delayed Rogers's progress.

But Rutgers's strength has far exceeded everyone's expectations, including the expectations of the Third Prince!

The guys who can easily apply the envoy spell to this level are not on the same level as them in terms of strength.

Rogers paused slightly, looked sideways at the magic guide book hanging beside him, and saw that it did not react superfluously, so he didn't say anything more, and went directly past them to move on.

Alina's eyes were calm, and she looked at them as nothing, but Rufia looked at them curiously, only seeing that the two companions were silent, and had no idea of greeting.

Silence is the greatest contempt.

However, Edith was extremely grateful for the contempt of the other party, and he even rose up with a sense of happiness and joy that he had escaped the great doom.

But in the next second, a palm gently touched his shoulder, making his scalp tingle instantly, and his teeth began to chatter uncontrollably.

"You're afraid of me? Don't worry, I'm not a devil summoned by the school, and as a classmate, there's no need to be so nervous. Rogers spoke in a friendly tone, trying to ease Edith's negative emotions, and then continued:

"You must have been sent by the Third Prince to stop me, right? Otherwise, why would you just stand here so quietly?

"I understand your mixed feelings, if you have a choice, who would want to be forced to duel with your classmates on this carnival night?

"If I'm not mistaken, your family should have come from the nobility of the emperor's court, who had held important positions in the court for generations.

"It's really amazing that the third prince asked you to do such a bad thing even though you have such an important identity."

He stopped beside Edith, his words gentle and considerate, as if he felt sorry for the injustice he had encountered.

Then, as if completely in Edith's position, he continued:

"But what if you just ignore the order and let me go? The character of the third prince also understands that although he will not punish you on the surface, and even show the appearance of treating you, he will eventually alienate and exclude you.

"Well, I'll put on a show for you, so that you can have a good reason to get away with this trouble, if you grant me a small request.

"Just as I help you now, how about you give me a little help to escape from my troubles in the future?"

Edith's breathing froze as he heard this, he could sense the soundproofing of the surrounding area, and he understood what Rogers meant.

But as Rogers said, there must be a choice, how could he come to do such a dangerous thing?

If he were to become like Caspar, wouldn't he tarnish the glory of the whole family!

What will my father think of him? What will the family do to themselves?

The more Edith thought about it, the more indignant he became! There was a lot of dissatisfaction with the third prince in his heart, and he was dissatisfied with why he wanted his illustrious family to face this situation!

"Good ......"

He squeezed out a word from between his teeth, anyway, Rogers also said that the reward was only a small favor, and if the other party asked too much, he could use this to prevaricate.

It was only when he answered, an inscription quickly crawled through his spirit and soul like a spider's web, and the spiritual sense was telling him that it was the imprint of the contract.

"In order to complete the prince's mission, you were pushed into the stairs by me, and then you were besieged by ghosts and could not continue the pursuit.

"If the Third Prince knows that you worked hard to complete the mission, and at the same time you were attacked by a large group of ghosts, and thus suffered a lot of heavy damage, there should be no way to continue to say anything, right?"

Rogers pointed to the group of smoke demons at the entrance of the staircase, unable to reach the fourth floor due to range limitations, and earnestly suggested to Edith.

As for the contract, although he only asked for a small help in return, he did not say how long it would last, and I believe that even if Edith reacts in the future, he will keep his promise for the sake of the dignity of the nobles.

Edith stared at the group of smoke demons in a daze, under normal circumstances, everyone would only be attacked by a smoke demon a few steps apart.

With so many smoke demons attacking together, it will indeed be hit hard......

He had just thought that Rogers's tone was to say that he would stay here for a while, and then help him solve his lie together......

"Go, for the sake of the Third Prince." Seeing Edith stiff and still, Rogus pushed him very intimately, throwing him into the arms surrounded by smoke demons.

Then his gaze swept to the other two who were still standing stupidly, and the two of them saw Rogers and Edith talking something, and then Edith replied resolutely that he didn't know anything, and was pushed down by Ruttic.

The normal deduction is that Rutis wants to get the prince's information or something from Edith, but Edith refuses, so he is directly retaliated by Ruts.

They clenched their fists, and it was impossible for them to betray the prince or face Rogers.

Then, there is only one option left.

Seeing the two students resolutely enter the stairs to "rescue" Edith, and then the ghostly roar and the students' wails from the smoke, Rogers couldn't help but sigh at their bravery.
