Chapter Eighty-Nine: Can I Reconcile?
Rufia's mother is dangerous, that's what Rogers' instincts and his judgment of the reactions of those around him have come to a conclusion.
He had been hiding from Alina in the porch outside the bedroom, but when Duchess Alexandula appeared in the distance, Alina immediately stopped her movements and behaved very well.
And the duchess seems to be following Prince Reyhed, headed by the prince, but the prince's posture does not have the momentum of the main throne, and even a little cautious.
Including Earl Braider and Earl Derwin, they also tended to be silent.
Rufia is also very well-behaved, and she does not feel relaxed and indulgent in front of her father at all.
The Duchess came to the men, and she didn't say anything, but just looked Rogus up and down a few times, and then called Rufia away.
At this point, the rest of the people lost their minds to fight, and began to feel the passage of time in a regular manner.
The middle of winter has arrived, the earth has quietly become cold and stiff, the cold north wind howls back and forth, and the smoke rising from the chimney quickly condenses into ice crystals in the cold wind, which drifts away with the wind.
Rogers didn't do much for the next three days, except for a large banquet for St. Herthe's students, as well as meetings with members of the Wizarding School who came to visit, and exchanged linguistics with each other, and introduced the concept of a magical academic community.
For example, appropriate exchange of basic theories, the establishment of a peer-reviewed academic article mechanism, regular large-scale exchange conferences, etc.
The leader of the most collegiate faction, Kurion, showed great interest in this, but did not make too much practical support.
After all, the reason why the various schools of magic can maintain unity and stability is because of the basic rule that "skills are not passed on".
Rogers is not discouraged by this, as long as he can continue to expand his influence on cutting-edge theories in the future, then there is always a way to slowly promote his own ideas.
After all, once many schools of magic are brought together, even if it is a mass of scattered sand with no clear political aspirations, it can help him run too many things.
The second prince also lived in the Earl's Court completely, and he often took the initiative to ask the old butler what he could do to help in the palace, which made the old butler feel extremely inexplicable.
He has also approached Rogers in the past few days, and even has a sense of evasion, which seems to be very entangled.
Finally, and the most tangible thing for Rutgers, was that he changed the furnishings in the room except for the bed and chandelier.
On the opposite side of the bed was a large bookshelf with a desk embedded in it.
On the side of the bed there is a couch and a low long table in front of the sofa.
The original beautiful wall hangings and the like have all been removed, making the room look much cleaner and tidy.
Outside the bedroom window, there is a clear and cold night sky, and the bright moon is like a silver platter, suspended on the dark background, sprinkling a cold light.
The cold wind at night seemed to be more bitter than at other times, rolling up snowflakes and rattling the branches.
However, all this is firmly blocked from the outside by heavy curtains, making it impossible to invade in the slightest.
Rogers was now wearing long-sleeved and long-pants pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the soft bed in the room, with an open tome called "Introduction to the Basics of Space Magic" between his legs.
Alina sat hunched next to Rogus in her nightdress, holding a quill and drawing intricate shapes and runes into the cardboard that lay on her lap.
Since Rufia had been called away by her mother the other day, she had only had a fraction of the daytime to play with Rogus and Alina, and Alice, after making sure Rogus was safe enough, invited the students of St. Helthea to play in the area where she used to live.
Before leaving, she also quietly gave Rogus a ring, saying that it was one of the rings containing space magic, and as long as Rogus injected magic into it, Alice would be able to teleport quickly.
In addition, not even the gods of the bottomless pit had looked at Rogus again for the past three days, which made him feel a sense of crisis that these gods should not be secretly plotting something behind his back, especially when this birthday was getting closer.
At this point, only Alina will sneak over at night in the originally lively bedroom.
"How's it going?" Rogers looked away from the book and looked sideways at the cardboard that Alinor was drawing.
The Möbius Ring magic he cast in the gap between the Sleepless Land and the present world was incomplete, and after practicing it, he found many problems, especially the part about the collection and evacuation of mana.
Without Professor Curly's help, his own research would have been incredibly slow.
Just two days ago, he had discovered that Alina had far more knowledge of magical symbols than he had ever known about it with a monocle.
He then taught Alina all the thoughts on the Möbius ring and the art of magic, and also elaborated on the concepts of system circulation and unity in its corresponding symbols.
"It's easy to make up if it's just collecting and evacuating, but I think maybe I can use your ring magic in more ways.
"It contains an idea or concept that relies on its own symbolic properties, and it is entirely possible to try to collect spells and bounce them back.
"For example, we can add some runes to this circular path flow to stabilize ......"
Alina pondered for a moment, then raised her hand and fingers to brush her forehead behind her ear, and then tapped her chin with her index finger and said slowly.
As she elaborated intently, the snow-white hair fell slightly, passing slightly past her ears, reflecting her serious face.
"Rebound? This is a good idea, but in this case, in addition to the coordination of elemental attributes, it should also be designed according to different types of spells, such as ...... here"
Rogers carefully examined the results on Aliana's cardboard, pointing his fingers at several key places, expressing his deliberations and reflections.
When it came to the depths, Alina crossed her legs as well and simply laid the cardboard between the two of them.
The soft and warm light of the chandelier gently sprinkled down, outlining the outline of the two gradually getting closer, quietly diffusing a silent tacit understanding.
It's a pity that it didn't take long for me to start, and I don't know which small disagreement started, and the discourse of discussion gradually turned into-for-tat, and-for-tat slowly evolved into a secret bickering.
It wasn't until Alina was completely defeated in her words that she slowly placed the cardboard and pen beside the bed.
"What are you going to do?" Rogers stared at Alina intently, his eyes flashing with wariness, his body tensing slightly, and he struck a posture of alertness.
"I suddenly remembered that you were very flexible that day, I didn't catch it for a long time." The corners of Alia's mouth rose slightly, and her eyes narrowed into two curved arcs in a smile.
The blessing of the laughing artist had long since dissipated, and Rogers thought for a moment, and soon returned the same smile, and asked sincerely, "It's been so long, can we reconcile?" ”
After a while.
Rogers was pinned down by Alia, his hands trying to interfere with the incoming claws.
At the same time, he made up his mind that he must focus on strengthening his physique in the future.
It stands to reason that as a magician, although his physique can be much stronger than that of ordinary people, in addition to the saint's various unreasonable buff enhancements, ordinary people should not be as outrageous as Alina.
"By the way, has your father discussed with you about the follow-up of Count de Monte?" Alina couldn't completely take down Rogus for a while, so she suddenly asked in a thoughtful voice.
"Because this matter is too high, the entire Eastern Lords have jointly asked the Imperial Capital for feedback, and many supporters of the Holy Maiden have also raised doubts.
"But I think it should be quite difficult for the emperor, after all, the envoy of the Count de Monte must have his intentions, and in order to clear up the relationship with the royal family, the Count of the Der Monte took the blame entirely on himself before sacrificing himself.
"If the Emperor severely punishes the Demont family, it will be a betrayal of those who are loyal to him, but if he does not punish him sufficiently, it is impossible to give a convincing account.
"I've heard rumors that war might break out among the people, and I don't know which forces are trying to muddy the waters......
As he spoke, Rogers saw Alina poke her hand in at him, and instead of paying attention to the strangulation that tried to control his arm, he touched the other man's waist, his fingers wrestling wildly.
Alina twisted as if she had been electrocuted, trying to shake off the feeling.
It's a pity that the fingers that came to her moved flexibly and followed her movements, and bursts of itching continued to invade her body.
She bit her lower lip hard, her brow furrowed tightly, trying to control her laughter from exploding, but the more she tried to endure it, the more difficult it became to hide her laughter.
As the irritation intensified, Alina could no longer maintain her composure, and her body began to tremble slightly.
At this moment, she suddenly leaned over and opened her mouth to bite between Rogers's shoulder and neck.
"Damn! Are you possessed by the evil spirit of a trolle again?! Rogers struggled to push away the sleek cheeks.
Then he retreated to the side of the bed with a wary face, ready to jump out of bed and run.
Bell Bell Bell –
Suddenly there were three knocks at the door, and then Hans's voice followed.
"Master, there is a girl who calls herself Melusie who says that she wants to discuss with you about your birthday, and she says that this matter is extremely important and that she must see you in person.
"But we have not informed the Earl of this because it is too late, but the chief butler of Hearst says that we can ask you for advice.
"Shall we let her in? If so, where do I need to pick it up? ”
Rogers groaned for a moment, and then instructed that he could take the other party to the porch in front of the bedroom.
It is extremely important to be emphasized by a cultist, and it is likely that the gods of the bottomless pit are involved.
He stared at a series of possible situations, and then looked at Alina, who seemed to be about to continue moving, and said helplessly: "What else do you want to do?" ”
"Can I take another bite?" Alina looked at his neck and asked seriously, as if she was afraid of Rogers' quick refusal, and immediately added, "It's very light, just one bite." ”
"No! What kind of habit do you have like marking a mark, and you must not develop such a strange bad habit! Rogers observed the other man's expression, the corners of his mouth twitching, and he refused mercilessly.
Today is 800 words, the old rule, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow make up 1,600 words back......
I'm sorry. or2
