Chapter 138: Rogus the Merciful (4k)
After Rogers randomly eliminated the five undead, he looked at Sadori, who was motionless like a stone sculpture, and did not leave the other party the slightest time to be stunned, and then spoke:
"Because of the evil aura that came from the Abyss of Discord, I believe that it won't be long before the Holy Maiden will come here.
"She's not as kind as me, I'm afraid that the first time I see you, I'll directly defeat you."
Hearing Rogess's words, beads of sweat gradually oozed from his forehead, his brows furrowed into deep furrows, and he slowly sat down on the ground with his back against the cave wall.
The hands clenched together made him who he is and destroyed his future Book of the Dead.
Just as he was duffling his desire to survive and letting time pass, pondering whether to simply take his own cut before waiting for the inevitable judgment, Rogers' warm voice rekindled his hope.
"I know that the reason why you did all this is because you were coerced by the hateful book in your arms, Senior Sadoi, I don't hate you, and even sympathize with your plight.
"So as long as you can give me a small help in the future, I can just let you go, and I won't take the initiative to go to the Three Sages School to report the evil things you did to me and the other five."
Rogus walked in front of Sadoni with a cane, his face full of warmth and kindness, and every note seemed to gently blow through the air, bringing meticulous care to the other party.
"Really? How can I help? Do you want to sign a contract to bind the gods? ”
Sadori's originally empty eyes were full of confusion, and he looked straight at Rogers' savior-like expression.
He felt that even if Rogers killed him now, it was unlikely that he would be held accountable in any way, but that the Three Sages needed to give Rogus great compensation.
So he couldn't understand what Rogers's stupid generosity was for.
"You don't need to sign a contract to bind the gods, just a promise." Rogers smiled and shook his head, showing further generosity.
Sadooy's throat rolled, and just as he was about to answer, the Book of the Dead in his arms began to riot again, causing his expression to twist for a moment.
The Book of the Dead dragged him into an attack on Rogus, but when he learned that Rogus was far superior to his rivals, he returned to a quiet state.
Not knowing whether this riot was a prelude to an attempt to attack Rogers again, he suppressed it with all his might, and then quickly replied, "I promise you! ”
After the words fell, the Book of the Dead instantly calmed down, and Sadore gradually understood why the Book of the Dead rioted and where the Book of the Dead's hostility to Rogus came from.
He looked up at Rogers with a mixed expression, and slowly spat out a word: "Devil's ......"
"No, no, no, I'm a good person, a good person with integrity and goodness, and I'll keep my promises." Rogers raised his index finger and shook it gently, hoping that Sadore would be at ease in a gentle tone, and then continued:
"Now, please pick up that terrible object so that I can destroy it."
Sadoi had no choice, whether he wanted it or not, his hands respectfully holding the Book of the Dead towards Rogers, like a lowly servant of the Treasure.
"Disintegrate." Rogers narrowed his eyes at the Book of the Dead and opened his mouth to cast a spell.
But the Book of the Dead only trembled slightly, as if it was protected by some invisible barrier, and no matter how much he applied his magic power, it didn't have much effect.
Seeing this, Rogers stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and complained as if he was rather distressed:
"It's a bit embarrassing that this thing is disobedient and refuses to disappear, so if it doesn't work, I'll have to send it to that place......"
Just after these words, the trembling of the Book of the Dead suddenly intensified, but it itself had been firmly pinned by Rogers with magical power, and Sadøy, the only one who could be used by it on the spot, was also bound by the [Richmond Bonus].
"Well, the gods probably wouldn't refuse such a high-quality sacrifice."
Just as Rogers slowly stretched out his fingers towards the Book of the Dead, the other party abruptly no longer resisted the erosion of the spell, but calmly welcomed the end of turning into ashes and drifting away.
[The gods of the bottomless pit have exclaimed you, and before they have lost their eyes in satisfaction, they have indicated that you will be eligible to pray to the gods once by virtue of this merit.] 】
After silently putting away the prompt box, Rogers's hand still didn't stop, and then stretched out his finger and dotted in front of Sadoi's eyebrows.
After being promoted triple and triple again, the perks he holds are not only enhanced by his own rank, but also given a more convenient mechanism.
For example, although the current effective time of the [Ignorance Bonus] erasing people's memories is still not permanent, if it is combined with the blessing of the [Enlightenment Bonus] and the assistance of the [Liqi Bonus], then it can barely achieve the ability to completely erase the memory.
The ease with which the three types of bonuses can be combined is one of the many benefits of his rituals.
However, this operation is still a little rough, and there are a few sequelae, such as after the memory is removed, the spirit of the uprooted person will suffer the pain as if it was forcibly torn, and the permanent huge wound that is difficult to heal.
As Rogus snapped his finger back, a high-pitched, heart-rending howl erupted from Saddoy's throat, like a beast roaring in despair.
His body began to twitch as if he had been electrocuted, and his hands clutched at his hair, as if to relieve his mental anguish in this way.
Rogers extracted all the information about Sadøy's help in his ascension, and Sadøy's awareness of any information about him related to the bottomless pit.
As far as Saddoi could remember, Saddoy's plan to sneak up on Rogus for the first time was a blank slate, and he couldn't even recall whether it had been carried out or not; The second time he attacked Rogers, he only remembered that he had turned the five into undead and suffered a quick defeat, and the Book of the Dead was completely shattered.
There are also many impressions of Rutgers, as well as the discord caused by the lack of memory in the process of getting along between the two, which are also messed up.
In addition, Rogers also smoked a lot of memories, both important and unimportant, and he wanted to cause a kind of mental trauma to Sadow, which may have been caused by the loss of the Book of the Dead.
"Unfortunately, we can neither save nor read the ...... carefully"
Rogers looked at the specks of fluorescence that quickly dissipated at his fingertips, and sighed with regret.
At the same time, he also broke the contract with Sadooy, because the other party had committed multiple crimes that were enough to be subjected to any kind of torture.
It would be bad if a master magician went to dig open his mind and soul without any scruples after Sadoi completely lost his human rights, and found the clues of the [Liqi Bonus].
Although even if the [Deed Bonus] is discovered, it is not certain that it is related to Rutgers, and Rogus can quickly make senses and choose to let the deed maker die or terminate the contract immediately before it is discovered, but in the face of extremely special situations such as Sadoi, it is better to be more cautious.
And with more and more signatories, Rogers faintly feels that the [Liqi Bonus] is not without limits, but he is still far from this limit, and the bonus will continue to increase and expand as his strength increases, but he still thinks that it is better to sign on the basis of merit in the future.
He also thought about whether to deal with Sadoi directly, but thinking of the five people who had just died, if there was no living Sadoi to fight the crime, then he would inevitably face all kinds of trouble.
It was also because of the deaths of those five people that Rogers' various assumptions about Sadoy were completely disrupted, and their value in Rogers's eyes was reduced indefinitely.
But after all, it was the one who gave himself two big gifts, and Rogers was very generous to forgive the other party's depreciation.
In the distance, a bright light suddenly lit up in the tunnel, illuminating the vast darkness and sweeping away the gloom of the cave.
In the next second, Alice ran to Rogeth's side with the wind and a lightsaber in hand, she first glanced up and down at Roggers's state with a nervous expression, and only after seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, however, she noticed the Shadow Demon standing beside Rogers.
"Oh, this Shadow Demon is no threat to me, I don't need to kill it."
Rogers explained aloud as he saw Alice staring at the Shadow Demon with complicated eyes.
"Hmm......" Alice pursed her lips slightly, giving the Shadow Demon a friendly smile.
The Shadow Demon had been frowning since Alice's arrival, but when he saw the other party's good-natured smile, he also chose to respond politely.
"First of all, congratulations on your promotion, can you tell me a little bit about what happened?" Alice was silent for a few seconds before she asked Rogers.
"Just now, there were five masked silver mid-level contestants, and then this guy on the ground who was trembling with his head in his arms, all wanted to harm me, and as for the first five, they were killed by this guy......"
Even if there is no contract, Rogus will still keep his promise, and he will not take the initiative to go to the Three Sages School to report what Sadore has done, but it should be fine for Alice to convey it.
When the Three Sages School comes to him again to ask questions, then he will not be active, but passive.
"Silver Intermediate ......" Alice wanted to ask Rogers why he didn't find himself to protect him, but thinking of Rogess's various instructions before the trial, she guessed that Rogus should have his own secrets to do, so she forcibly stopped asking.
When she lowered her eyes and looked at Sadooy, the other party seemed to have recovered a little from the pain and raised his eyes to look at her.
"You reminded me to look after Eunice before the trial...... Is it because of me? This time it's because of me again? That's what makes you ......" Alice looked sharply at Rogers, her tone with a subtle tremor, revealing a deep uneasiness, as if she was hesitant about what she was saying.
When she saw the look in Saddoy's eyes looking at her, she felt a sudden beat, and then remembered the content of Rogers's orders and the aura from the Abyss of Discord, and made an extremely bad guess in her heart.
"Ah, the first five shouldn't be, don't take it too seriously." Rogers noticed Alice's strangeness and spoke out in relief.
"But he killed five Silver Intermediate Ranks, and Eunice and I have never been in danger, but you ......"
Alice's tone was very weak, her expression was full of guilt, her eyes were dull and heavy, and her whole body seemed to tremble a little, as if she was overwhelmed by her own mistakes.
From the time the five were transformed into undead, Rogers expected Alice to come, and then he also expected the current scene, so he said that he hated troublesome things.
"You can't kill him, killing him now will only bring more trouble." Rogers noticed Alice's murderous intent towards Sadoi and dissuaded.
Alice was stunned, and she stood quietly beside Rogers, the lightsaber in her hand constantly flashing with a brilliant glow.
After a moment, she whispered in a low voice, "I'm sorry......"
"It's okay, and it's not your fault, we're all victims." Rogers shrugged his shoulders and sighed slightly, then he looked at Sadot, and after a little hesitation, he said:
"With his current injury, it will definitely not last long and he will fall into a coma, you can use the cage bonus to help him speed up, and then hand him over to the apprentice of the Three Sages School, and when the trial is over, tell the Three Sages School what happened."
"Eunice is coming after me soon, can I ask her to help carry this guy? Can I stay by your side now? Alice stared straight at Rogers and asked.
Rogers nodded slowly, his determined look that didn't give him a chance to refuse.
It wasn't Eunice who came to the scene, but Alina and Rufia, and when Alina bowed her head slightly to Alice, she retrieved the dreamcatcher from Rogus's waist and let the Shadow Demon go back.
Nothing of much happened for the next few days, and although Alina occasionally had a slight altercation with Alice as before, she was allowed to live in the wooden house she had built.
Rogers felt that since Alina recommended Alice to be his assistant lecturer, the relationship between the two had changed a little bit that he couldn't understand.
It's just that whenever he wonders whether the two are reconciled, it is extremely obvious, and the-for-tat atmosphere between the two will completely dispel his conjecture.
But at the same time, he was rejoicing that the atmosphere had diluted many of the troubles that he had expected that he didn't like and that would feel heavy.
It wasn't until the seven-day cave trial was over that Rogus finally saw the sun that he had been absent for a long time.
At the top of the Sage Tower, after a student of the Landora Academy had investigated the settlement gift of the trial, he immediately raised the noise barrier and looked specifically at the five elites of the Three Sages School.
Although the faces of the four of them were extremely haggard, and they were all suspicious and cautious neurotic, the students of the Landora Academy still exclaimed with their companions:
"How can four people come out normally?! He's starting to learn to be kind! ”
I've saved more than half a chapter, and if nothing else, tomorrow the double watch can pay off all the debts during the New Year's Day at once.
