The morning dew falls on the tender green leaves, and the breeze blows the swaying branches, making the spring day like a smart dream, slowly approaching and blooming in an instant, paving the way for the rapid and intense summer day.

Rogers, dressed in the academy uniform, exited St. Hell's through the teleportation array, sitting in a slightly bumpy carriage.

A small enchantment machine was placed on a round table arranged in the center of the car, and it kept pounding the runes on the cover of the magic guide book, making a continuous sound.

The Enchantment Machine is surrounded by a soundproof barrier to prevent its noise from coming out.

The space rune has long been enchanted, this time as a symbol of "concealment".

He exchanged his credits for the Magic Guide Book for all sorts of engraved inscriptions, and even the small enchantment machine was rented from Professor Kuli for a small fraction of the credits.

Such a "high price" is still the highest discount given by Professor Kuli within the scope of the school rules.

At this time, he did not pay attention to the familiar enchantment scene, but held a thick stack of letterheads, sighed and rubbed his forehead.

At this time, it was just late spring, and before it was summer, Vice Principal Avery sent him to work in the south early.

And when his father learned about this, he immediately sent a task about the family, and by the way, he also let him inherit a knighthood early.

Rogers now not only has the honorific title of Lord Rogers, but also the actual title of "Baron Molotan".

"Isn't that a little too early for a kid?"

He pondered for a while, and then complained to Alina beside him, while Rufia was in the corner thinking about Alina's test questions with a sad face.

"That first prince is only a year older than you, but he has already participated in the imperial court politics, and even grabbed a lot of capital.

"And you're just taking on a little bit of the affairs of the Green Valley, and you're starting to be so tired and lazy, how are you going to rule the entire East in the future?"

Alina was reading a copy of the Imperial Capital Newspaper in both hands, her eyes unflirting, and she sneered with a slight disgust.

"Is that just a point? The Green Vale is the best granary and pasture in the entire East, and it is estimated that there are quite a few nobles in the East waiting to count down my father's stupid assignment and watch my burlesque. ”

Rogers tossed the letter on the table, exhaled a deep breath and leaned back in his chair, looking ready to smash.

In addition to the information that accounts for more than ninety percent of the information, the letter only mentions one thing, that is, a wandering people who used to wander in the south are slowly migrating towards the green valley, and most of the territory of the "Baron Molotan" that Rogers just attacked is in the green valley.

It stands to reason that in the face of abundant manpower, as a local lord, you should not be completely resistant, but unfortunately if you come a nomadic people who are difficult to assimilate, have strong habits, and are prone to robbery and plunder, it will be a different matter.

Although the alliance between Rogers and the Alina family can finalize the direction of most affairs in the East, it is as specific as this to which families need to intervene and how much force they can get, and it is necessary to prevent the family from contributing when it is not really contributing.

They will go into the prevarication and try to find a solution that no one needs to spend much resources on.

Unless the interests of the green valley are truly damaged by the naked eye, it is possible to negotiate a feasible plan, but by then, what should be lost has already been lost.

"I'm smart, virtuous and capable, Elena, you have to help Baron Ben in this matter, and besides, the family's estate in the Green Valley is not much less than mine."

Rogers reached out and put his arm around Alina's shoulder, speaking very sincerely.

He knows how much he has, and he knows that he still has a lot of things that he is not good at, for this kind of thing, he has not had much practical experience in his previous life and this life, and his arrogance is estimated to only make a mess, and finally let his father follow behind his ass to slowly clean up.

"Don't you have the most basic education in governance and eloquence? Why do you look like you're going to throw it at me? Alina asked, narrowing her eyes and a little impatient.

"I was already arranged by my father to start studying three years ago, but at that time, you know how it was possible for my mind to focus on such an inconsequential thing."

Rogers shrugged slightly, and replied indifferently.

After receiving the most basic science popularization, he met Alice, and then his mind was Alice, both in and out of class.

It can be seen from his resistance to the marriage contract and even wanting to pull Alice back to get married, that for him at that time, the interests of the family were not as good as a goose feather in front of Alice.

Alina was silent for a moment, but instead of responding, she pressed the newspaper into Rogers' face.

"The ink smells so new, and I've heard that many of the scribes have lost their jobs because of the innovation of the printing press, and I don't know if they will join the ranks of insulting me......

Rogers took the newspaper down, and just as he looked down, he saw the big headline on it: The Journey of the Little Sage's Suffering.

Below the title tells how Rogus was ostracized in St. Herte, how the saint discovered his kindness after being rescued by Rutgers, and the various praises of Rogus by many college professors.

The author of this article is signed by Malacombe.

Since his last interview, Malacombe has been writing articles in the Imperial Capital newspaper that justify Rogers' name.

She wanted to go to St. Herte several times for interviews, but the professors seemed to be very unwelcoming to her.

It's just that when she relays the words of those professors in the press, she always ends up with a sentence that Professor So-and-so asks her to report truthfully as the professor said, as if she does not "tell the truth" and will be retaliated against by those professors.

On another page, there is an article called "The Rise of the Demon King", which contains such articles as to how Rogers bewitched the saint and the professor of St. Herthe, how he abused his classmates, and how even the Imperial Capital Daily reporter was deceived by him.

"Interesting......" Rogers silently jotted down the name of the writer and placed the newspaper on the table.

He tilted his head and pulled up the curtains and looked out the window at the noise.

Unlike the quaint and stately towers in the center of the Braid's domain, the center of the Eunice family domain is filled with shops, workshops, taverns, and food stalls.

The occasional tall building has an intricately carved porch, ornate spires and cornices for a lavish look.

Horse-drawn carriages shuttled back and forth on the roadside, and many citizens on the roadside were dressed as merchants, and they were either hurrying or talking and laughing, and there was a scene full of people.

Located on the border between the southern and eastern borders and bordering the sea, the Eunice family was not only a node for many above-ground trade routes, but also the fourth largest port in the empire.

After a while, the tumult died down, and the carriage came to the gate of a large manor house, which was topped by a pillar with a rich winged lintel decorated with golden patterns.

In addition to Rogers, the two carriages in which Alice and Eunice, Parsima and Delrick were riding were also parked at the same time.

Before getting out of the car, Rogers stuffed the enchantment machine and the letter into the magic guide book, and then melted the magic guide book back into the void.

Eunice's parents, the Earl and Counts of Hutton, personally led their attendants to greet them at the door, with bright red hair like Eunice, dressed in modest dresses, and entertained them at a luncheon with an incomparably rich menu.

After the feast, the Earl of Hutton led the group on a walk through the vast gardens of the estate, which were shaded by the winding paths that connected the well-tended gardens and lakeside, while slowly introducing the history of the Hutton family.

"Your Excellency, when we arrange a house for Rutgers, can you pack up a bigger room and come out?" Rufia waited until Earl Hutton had finished speaking, and then suggested softly.

"This is the duty of the Earl...... Yes? The Earl of Hutton twisted the red beard under his nose and was about to accept the little princess's request, but suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the words.

"It's better to have a couch in the room, a large desk that can sit for many people, a few sets of pajamas for men, and some new pillows, goose down and soft......

"The bed should also be bigger, at least three people should lie down without crowding, and the mattress can be slightly harder......"

“……”

Rufia crossed her fingers and gushed about her request, seemingly unaware of Earl Hutton's increasingly strange face.

"Don't have a big bed, the Earl can arrange four single beds, and don't have apple pie when you deliver food." Alice waited until Rufia finished speaking, and then followed.

"Holy Maiden, do you mean Lord Rogers' room as well?" Earl Hutton's lips quirmed for a moment, and he asked, uncertainly.

"Yes." Alice nodded instantly.

Earl Hutton frowned slightly, and there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes, as if he was contemplating some unsolvable puzzle.

Whether it is a princess or a saint, they cannot be lazy, when their requirements conflict, how to resolve the contradiction is an important moment to reflect the cultivation of the nobility.

He should have thought this way, and he should have made a choice about it.

But the demands of these two distinguished guests are pointing to what is going on in Rogers' room?!

Earl Hutton struggled to squeeze out a smile, and looked gently at Rogers, who was among the students beside him, and in the face of the young man who had been very kind to her daughter during the night of the exorcism, he cleared his throat a little and asked:

"Does Lord Rogers have any thoughts on this matter?"

Rogers was slightly stunned when he heard this, he was listening to the prosperity of the Hutton family, looking at the flowers and carvings beside him, why did he suddenly have to think about this kind of question.

"Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness and the Holy Maiden, now that they have given their opinions in a comprehensive and frank manner, and have stated clear and achievable objectives, you may proceed with certain options and, in some cases, make appropriate additions to the established course......"

He kept telling his thoughts, and there were traces of deep thought and concentration on his slightly immature face.

It is impossible to reply clearly, after all, this is a social situation, both Rufia and Alice have a certain position behind them, he obviously can't have a clear bias, and he still has a family mission, so he should pay more attention to these.

It's just that it's a little weird around the question of what kind of accommodation he wants.

Earl Hutton fell silent, and as he watched the young men and girls quietly, suddenly an attendant hurried to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Please forgive me for being unaccompanied, there are some affairs in the territory that I need to deal with, please visit the garden first, and then there will be servants to serve."

His expression instantly became serious, and after a few words of explanation, he turned and followed the attendant away.

Eunice thought of the look that her father threw when he was leaving, and then made an excuse to say goodbye and walked away, followed by Delick, who was her childhood sweetheart, and chased after him with a little hesitation.

Rogers snapped his fingers at this, and used his magic to build a noise barrier to isolate the Pasima who was left behind.

"To the north of the manor is a hunting woodland, where Eunice and Pasima were cursed.

"Although this curse is not as good as a minor calamity, it is also a highly contagious spell after it erupts, and the desires of the cursed person will be infinitely magnified and appear extremely chaotic until the madness will not end until death.

"Let's find an opportunity to sneak over as soon as possible in the next few days, and we don't need to inform Eunice."

He was succinct about the task to be carried out, and he wanted to complete it quickly, after all, there was more to do when he came to the South.

However, after he finished speaking, Aliana's response was not related to the task, she just squinted her eyes slightly, and asked in a flat voice, "What kind of bedroom do you want?" ”

"A bedroom for easy escape." Rogers shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have something to do when I go out tonight, but I haven't thought of a reason to prevaricate Earl Hutton." ”

"Are you going to meet the succubus?" Alina stared at Rogers, her brow furrowed slightly, her gaze full of inquiry.

"Succubus?" Alice was waiting intently for Rogess's reply, and when she heard Alina's question, her expression instantly became vigilant: "That evil thing shouldn't exist in the world, Rogers, if you are bewitched by the other party, I can get rid of her for you!" ”

"It's my private business." Rogers replied with a complicated expression that he was indeed going to see Melusie, but it was estimated that it was not only Melusie who was waiting for him, but also many other members of the Order.

"Is it really a succubus?!" Alice was ready to activate the [Intuition Bonus], but seeing that Rogers didn't answer directly, she knew that what Alina said should be true.

She struggled for a moment, and then continued with a resolute face: "I will accompany you to protect your safety." ”

Rogers looked at Alina helplessly, he seriously suspected that the other party was testing just now, and even had the intention of using Alice.

Take the saint and run to the place where the cultists gather? What are the congregations going to think about this? What is Alice likely to do? It was a little hard for him to imagine what would happen then......
