Gerson's territory is much colder than St. Herte's, and it has been snowing here intermittently half a month ago.

Taking advantage of the convenient channels provided by the Pantheon, Rogers and his party disguised themselves as merchants' retinues and arrived in the current city centered on the Viscount's Palace.

The Pantheon's help was limited to providing a little information that Rogus thought was dispensable, and nothing more.

"Because of Viscount Gerson's aristocratic status, coupled with the current situation being difficult to understand, it is inconvenient for the temple to thoroughly investigate the situation in the lord's palace for no reason.

"But if necessary, the Holy Maiden can use the teleportation items I have given you to communicate, High Priest Farek is in the parish not far from Gerson's Territory, and if you can find a good enough reason for the Temple to intervene, High Priest Farek can come here at any time."

A member of the Pantheon, dressed as an ordinary peasant girl, gave Alice a communication rune, and then leaned over slightly and said goodbye to leave.

Alice took the rune and put it into the silver ring, and looked straight at Rogers, who was standing beside him.

"Find a shop to stay in first." Rogers straightened the hood from his gray cotton cloak, reached out to brush the falling snowflakes from his shoulders, and raised his eyes to look around.

He was standing on a sparsely populated street lined with two- or three-story houses made of brick and stone.

The calamity that needed to be dealt with this time was directly related to the local lord, so the four of them did not directly inform Viscount Gerson when they came here, but chose to hide their identities.

In addition to wearing simple cloaks with the same appearance, the four of them also wrapped the lower half of their faces with cotton towels, and covered their faces with a look that seemed to protect them from the cold.

"Is the situation already so sensitive? How cautious was the high priest who ruled over the land? Alina frowned slightly, looked at the members of the Pantheon who were quickly moving away, and spoke in a rather puzzled tone.

"It's just an excuse, even if there is no current situation, the high priest will not come directly on the pretext that the holy woman can be tempered." Rogers shook his head slightly, and walked straight down the street toward the city center.

From God's point of view, he can clearly know that the mastermind of this incident is a succubus, it is a vampire who carries out the specific plan, and the person who provides assistance is Viscount Gerson, who has been lured and bewitched by "eternal life".

However, the concerns expressed by the Pantheon are not all high-sounding rhetoric, a viscount is already a goalkeeper of the high nobility in the empire.

In addition, under the current situation of increasingly fierce confrontation between the nobility and the imperial power, even if the emperor came here, there is a high probability that he would not be willing to directly order a thorough investigation of the other party without evidence.

As the first mini-boss battle, whether it is the succubus, or the vampire, or the Gerson family, there is no strong person who has reached the gold level.

It's just that the Viscount's Mansion has a powerful magic circle that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Gerson family, and Rogers is not sure that the world line has long been chaotic, and the other party is still as in the original plot, and has not spent a lot of money to hire a gold-level powerhouse.

Alina chewed on Rogers' words and didn't ask any more.

As the four of them marched for a long time, the noise gradually came, and they encountered more and more pedestrians wearing overcoats, padded jackets or cloaks.

"That's it." Before Rogers led the group to the inn called the Hearthfire Hotel, he reached out and grabbed the large iron ring on the heavy wooden door, and slowly pulled it open, and the warmth of the room came to his face.

"Scrape the soles of your feet outside the door, I don't want to wait for someone to wipe the floor again."

The proprietress of the counter, Neve, saw that the people were a few children, and subconsciously frowned and reminded her.

The other was tall and fair-skinned, dressed in a sumptuous and elegant robe, decorated with fluff and fur, and his long dark red hair was braided into a delicate braid, dotted with an elaborate dried purple flower.

This image does not resemble an ordinary burgher at all, but rather a squire's wife.

Just as Rogers was scraping the soles of his feet on the threshold like an ordinary person, Alina and Alice both looked at the proprietress imperceptibly, and then looked at each other silently.

"What's the fuss, scrape your shoes and close the door and enter the house." Rogers urged the girl beside him, and he first came to the counter alone, and took out a golden coin in his hand, and said very generously:

"Good-looking sister, bring me the best room in your hotel."

The moment Neve saw the gold coin, she quickly reached out and pinched it, carefully looked at the head of Frederick III on the gold coin, and after seeing its fineness, she forcibly resisted the urge to pinch it, and her face bloomed with a charming smile, and she said very politely: "Okay, I will have someone take you up at once." ”

At the same time, she specially observed Rogers's palm, noticed the white and calloused appearance of the hand, and the smile became thicker, and after calling the clerk again, she continued to inquire diligently:

"You don't sound like a poor kid, what are you doing here? Sister, I'm still a bit famous in this city, so if you have anything to help, just tell me. ”

Rogers' face showed a faint pride at the right time, and he said in a very proud tone: "Don't generalize between me and civilians. ”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers at random, and a small flame rose from his fingertips.

"Magician?!" Neve's eyes widened, stunned as she looked at the flames that were about to go out, and let out a small exclamation.

"Yes." Rogers bowed slightly, showing a look of satisfaction that was enjoying the other party's surprise.

"Are these three also magicians?" Neve asked adoringly as she looked at Alina, Alice, and Rufia standing beside Rogers.

"Of course, okay, please take us to the room." Rogers seemed to just want to take a quick break.

Neve didn't say anything more, and then asked a young clerk to lead the four of them to the guest room on the second floor.

She fumbled for a moment with the gold coins in her hand, her eyes flashing, and then asked the clerk who had just gone downstairs to help take care of the counter, and hurriedly left her Hearthfire Hotel.

……

The interior of the room was not luxurious, but there was no shortage of things to the dear side, but to Rogers' surprise, there were three wooden beds in the room, and he didn't know for a moment how to divide it when he went to bed at night.

The reason why he only needs one, not two or more, is that he knows that the guys around him will definitely squeeze into his side in the end.

"You made us deliberately scrape the soles of our feet at the door, instead of directly using magic to clean them, do you want to pretend to be weak?" Alina asked curiously, hanging the cloak on the wooden hanger she had taken out.

"Yes, you should all be aware of it, the dried flower on the top of the other party's head is not something that ordinary people can make." Rogers took off his cloak and sat down on the bed by the window, explaining:

"The proprietress of this shop has been blessed by a succubus, and that flower is used to suppress the depraved aura that emanates from her.

"She is only the proprietress of the inn on the surface, but in fact she is not only the mistress of Viscount Gerson, but also one of the members of the main team behind the birth of this catastrophe to monitor the movements in the city.

"Tonight, something will come to the door to take our four magicians as prey, and the sacrifice prepared for them will be used as a sacrifice.

"The silver rank is nothing in St. Herthe, but in the outside world, it is already considered a strong person who can walk sideways everywhere, so you should not take off the talisman of the hidden rank at any time, this is very important."

After saying that, Rogus neither planned to wash nor continue to undress, but took out a sheet from the magic book and laid it, took off his shoes and lay on the bed, stretching his body.

In the original story, Alice and her in-game companions stayed at this hotel, and they also deliberately concealed their rank, and at night, a succubus would come running and try to control them.

It wasn't the succubus who was leading the event, but a sister of the succubus who was known for her spiritual magic.

Rogge's idea is to wait for the other party to come to the door, and then directly control it.

As he put on his monocle and studied the magic books he had read, Alina groaned and said something that made sense.

"The guy who wants to come to capture us must have the level of the silver rank, and he is from the depraved camp, and I don't know if the holy aura on Alice's body will be noticed by the other party, so it is best to sleep near the door.

"Rufia is the weakest of us, so she sleeps in the middle, and I lie down with Rogus to help him deal with the enemies who may come to him."

There was a thoughtful look on her face, and the arrangement sounded beyond reproach, but Alice's face showed an extremely obvious protest.

"I have the perk of stealth that I can detect when the enemy is coming, and I have the ability to restrain the Fallen and imprison them, so I slept with Rutgers...... It's better to lie together. ”

Alice casually hung her cloak on the hanger that Alina had taken out, and went straight to Rogers's bedside, where she was about to lie straight down at Rogers' side as she spoke.

"It's not a big bed, it can't fit so many people!"

Rogers saw that Alice and Alina were both rushing directly to her, and Rufia, who had just put down her cloak, saw this, and pounced on her for a place as if she was afraid of leaving her alone to sleep.

"Don't really fight! If you make too much noise, it might ruin the plan, so I'll stick it next to the wall and give it to you, okay?

"My little princess, don't lie on top of me, I have to deal with the enemy at night!

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! I'm going to have my glasses squeezed off by you! ”

After a commotion, Rogers reluctantly pulled the bed on the side to put it together, and then he slept in the middle, Alice was by the window, and Alina was lying on the other side of Rogers, and Rufia leaned honestly next to Alina.

The face towels on the faces of several people were also removed, and after quickly making different degrees of disguise, Rogers, who was physically and mentally exhausted, took out a large quilt from the magic book and put it on several people.

"Do you want to go home this winter break?" Alina stared at the ceiling and abruptly asked a question that had nothing to do with the current atmosphere.

"Are you worried about marriage?" Rogers glanced sideways at her and asked.

Rufia's mother had said that she would go to Braider for the winter holidays, and the emperor had given a deadline for the middle of winter this year, indicating that this winter did not seem to be as good as usual.

Before Alina could reply, Alice interjected, "Don't you think the complicated rules of the nobility are inexplicable? As Rogers just said, although we are young, we are already strong in the outside world.

"Rogers has also done the incredible feat of gathering mages to form a group, so why worry about these inexplicable responsibilities?"

"Some power is tied to certain obligations, and this is a game that you can either quit or you can only continue to play.

"You can't understand the world of the nobility any more than you can't understand Rogers." Alina retorted disdainfully.

"Rutgers once said that as long as you are strong enough, it is enough to make the rules of the game, and you say I don't understand Rutgers, so how much do you understand?

"It's better to continue to call on the magic schools in my name, and then work hard to develop the magic community, as long as the strength of the school community is strong enough, there is no need to care about any marriage." Alice's tone was tinged with a hint of anger, and she echoed without flinching.

"Do you think politics is a game of pretending? Don't measure the growth of a party by the pathetic experience you learned in St. Herte. Alina's tone grew colder, and her words became much more intense.

Rogers listened to the noise between the two of them, and habitually blocked it in his mind.

But at the same time, he is also thinking about how to spend this year's winter vacation.

As the night slowly swallowed up the brightness of the day, and the distant sky turned to a deep blue, and the stars scattered among them, the house became much quieter with the enemy that could come at any moment.

Rogers didn't bother to draw the curtains, just looked at the starry sky outside through the diamond-shaped window.

And the girls beside him also began to sleep, and their breathing became soft and even.

I don't know how long I waited, but just when Rogers thought he was wrong, a pink blurred phantom suddenly appeared outside the window that ordinary people couldn't detect.

"It's now!"

Rogers' heart froze, and suddenly the charm that had been accumulated for a long time burst out in an instant.

The charm bestowed by the gods could shake Professor Alana as a great magician at the beginning, and after more than a year of increase, coupled with his long-term savings, Rogers is confident that even if he doesn't use the [Reced Bonus] to stir up the emotions of the other party, it can have the desired effect.

The hasty use of spells is likely to alert the person behind the other person, and this pure charm lure can solve this problem perfectly.

Outside the window, Pernilla was thinking about what kind of psychic magic she was going to use to control the four people in the room, and she didn't care when she saw Rogers looking out the window, confident that her disguise wouldn't be noticed by a bronze magician.

But slowly, she looked into the young man's eyes and had an irrepressible urge to have and occupy each other, and to be willing to pay any price for it.

As a succubus, she reacted instantly, she was seduced, and she was completely and irresistibly captured by the succubus's specialized skills.
