Chapter 180: Silence Under the Stars (4k)

Confession is not a clarion call for a charge, but a triumphant song of victory.

Rogers had often heard this phrase in his previous life, and although he was not very interested in such simple and crude statements, when applied to Derick, he felt that it could show some truth.

After all, it is obvious what kind of outcome Delik's blind and unprepared charge will usher in.

"You haven't been together for a long time since you entered school, have you? Such a long time is enough for a person to change a lot.

"Do you really know Eunice right now? Do you like Eunice in the moment? Or is it just the past Eunice that you like?

"Or do you know what you're going to encounter and just want to use it to help you see the present?"

Rogers threw several questions at Derick beside him, and after seeing the complicated expression on Derik's face, he patted the other party on the back: "I probably understand, do it if you want to, but be more secret." ”

"I understand." Drake let out a long breath of cloudy air with his eyes closed, then looked at Rogers and said softly.

Filling his stomach, Rogers went back to the club's office, roughly reading the changes in income since the start of the school year, and calculating the supplies he could get in exchange.

After that, he discussed with Alice and Alina a little about the Holy Son of Discord and the Fire Calamity, and when he saw that it was almost dark outside the window, he cleaned up and left the club and went back to his dormitory.

"People will always chase what leaves us, and then they will always run away from chasing us."

Alina walked lightly, her long snow-white hair swaying in the breeze, and her tone was soft and deep, as if she was muttering emotion, as if she was speaking to Rogers beside her.

Rogers looked sideways at the girl's starry sky, looking inexplicable, without asking or responding, just shrugging slightly.

Delik's performance today was too nervous, and he didn't specifically ask Derick to help explain as usual when he checked the accounts, as smart as Alina, it is normal to be able to guess certain things and express these feelings.

A fresh breeze blows, Alina's white hair is like a cloud, flowing freely, her amber eyes are rippling, slowly turning her head to look at Rogers, her soft lips gently opening and closing, slightly revealing a few silent words.

The hazy starlight was embedded in their feet, blurring the surrounding road, Rogers's expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and after a while, he looked puzzled, leaned his ear to Alina's side, and opened his mouth to say:

"There's been too much going on lately, and my mind has been busy thinking about the future, what did you just say?"

A strong stinging pain came over Rogeth's neck, and Aliana's cheeks were a bright red glow as if she were shy, and her arms wrapped around Rogeth's neck, making it difficult for her to escape her bite for a moment.

"It hurts! Pain! Pain! Rufia help me pull her away! ”

Rogers' hands pressed on Alina's soft cheeks, and the [Devouring Bonus] was emptied by the water disaster, and it was difficult for him to push off the other party's attack for a while.

"It's silent, why did you suddenly fight again?!" Rufia was suspicious, and then hurried forward to persuade Alina to be merciful, while trying to separate the two who seemed to be tightly together.

Under the same starry sky, unlike the three of them, Alice was sitting at her desk in the living room after returning to the dormitory, carefully sorting out the notes given by Rogers.

At the same time, she also listened casually to the small talk of Eunice next to her about the incident in today's class, until Eunice talked about Derik's confession, her movements stopped, and then asked curiously, "How did you respond?" ”

"Of course I simply refused, if he likes me, should I like him?" Eunice reached out and tied her fiery red hair back her head, and replied as a matter of course.

Then her tone gradually became a touch of disgust, and she frowned and said in disgust:

"Derick is not such a presumptuous guy, someone must have been encouraging him, and he accepted the instigation, so he would do such a thing that would only annoy people."

Alice's eyebrows showed a subtle change in expression, she returned her gaze to the notes on the table, and after a little thought, she still spoke:

"You don't go to the club very often, so you don't know that the little priest in the club, called Miyala, has been very close to Derick lately.

"If you reject Delik so stiffly and ruthlessly, Miara should be happy."

The disgust on Eunice's face deepened, and her tone added a little impatience: "What's the matter with me?" ”

It's just that in this disgust, her movements are also obviously unnatural.

"Alas......" Alice sighed, and said no more, but quietly studied her notes.

"What about you, if it goes on like this, it's not a way, right?" As if to run away from something, Eunice asked Alice back.

"Rutgers has been too busy lately, and now is not the time to add more trouble to him, I know the scale." Alice smiled slightly, bent her fingers behind her ears, and whispered back.

"But you're not the only one with Rogers." Seeing this, Eunice unconsciously brought a little anxiety in her tone.

"Now that you know, are you going to go on like this? You and I are different from Rutgers, we don't have any burdens and we don't need to worry about the future. ”

Alice's tone remained unchanged, and she asked softly, knowing that Eunice was not exactly what she said to her.

"I ...... I ......" Eunice was stunned by this question, and her words became stuttering.

"Let's work together, if you're still willing to do it." Alice shook her head slightly, stopped talking to Eunice, and began to concentrate on studying.

As the starlight shifts and fades, the morning light from the sun rises to the sky.

Rogers opened his eyes slightly, reached out and rubbed his neck that had been tortured for a long time last night, he lifted the futon, sat up, and looked down at Alina, who was still grinding his teeth in his sleep, and couldn't help but sigh.

As is customary, he summoned the Magic Book, pulled out two sheets of paper from the Succubus and the Bottomless Pit Cultist, and examined the new briefing.

As always, the Bottomless Pit cultists kept talking about the conflict between a certain order and a sect in order to divide the symbols of time, hoping that Rogers would come forward to reconcile and complete the timing ceremony as soon as possible.

Roughly swept over, his gaze focused on Liravina's report.

It's just that what is revealed on the paper is not Liravina's respectful tone, but like a letter from a friend.

"My only best friend, I didn't expect you to send someone to find me, and I'm sorry I haven't been able to reach you for so long.

"After abandoning my long-cherished wish and burying the two greedy viscounts, I went to my hometown alone, and spent a long time in the ruins of the mansion where we met.

"When I wanted to contact you, the powerhouses of the Pantheon tracked me down, and the Holy Maiden joined me in the middle, which made me run away in embarrassment for a long time.

"During my escape, I gradually understood that the true strength is more important than the personality, and on the way I also met an old wise man of Kingam, and under his guidance, I planned to awaken the power contained in a volcano......

The letter briefly recounts Thackerasson's experience after leaving school, and also makes Rogers understand that the reason for the possible early eruption of Palife Volcano is indeed as Elina guessed, and it has an inescapable relationship with Thackerassen.

"The old wise man of Kingam? When Arkan was looking for you to duel, it seemed that there was an old man of Kingam by his side, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right? ”

Alina got up and lay on Rogess's lap, reading the message from Sacresen with Rogers, frowning slightly and guessing.

"The past is known, but Thackleson needs to draw on the fire catastrophe to strengthen himself, and the saint must fulfill the task of eradicating the calamity.

"On the one hand, I have my best friends in the past, and on the other hand, I have the justice of the world, which is really a bit difficult for me to choose." Rogers raised his hand and stroked his chin, thinking about the situation at hand.

The strength of the Son has never been the strength of the Son alone, but the ability to unite the scattered congregation.

Just as he could do many things on his own, with the power of many orders, so could Thackraisson.

Although it was not mentioned in the letter, it was conceivable that there must be no fewer members of the Disordered Abyss Sect around Saprasen at this time.

"In the middle of summer, when the Pantheon holds a competitive game, most of the power of the temple must be gathered in the Holy City, and since Thackraisson is already entrenched next to the Paliv volcano, he has not yet made a move, perhaps he is waiting for this opportunity.

"If the saint rushes over early, it will definitely stimulate Sacresen, and normal people will continue to retreat conservatively, but the chaos abyss cannot be guessed by common sense, and it is not impossible to risk detonating the catastrophe in advance.

"When the time comes, together with the name of the Holy Son of the Disordered Abyss, it will definitely attract the Pantheon, and the First Prince is also extremely concerned about the disputes you may participate in at this moment, and there is a probability that everything will be thrown into it.

"With our current strength, if we allow things to develop to this point, the catastrophe will definitely have nothing to do with you, or even if you can forcibly seize it, under so much attention, how much can your secret be tightly covered?"

Instead of paying attention to Rogess's pretended deep gibberish, Alina seriously analyzed the chaotic situation that could easily explode.

"You mean, Alice can't get involved easily this time?" Rogers pondered for a moment, then asked.

"It's not just her, it's you, at least on the surface, you must not be in too much of a hurry." Alina replied in the affirmative.

"If I could be stronger, I wouldn't have to worry about so many things." Rogers rubbed his forehead lightly and sighed.

Immediately, he used his magic to erase the handwriting on the same printing paper, and began to write down his response to Thackresen, and at the same time, under Alina's advisor, he knocked on the side of the other party's current situation and plan.

After writing the reply, he got up and washed up, thinking about how to make the [Enlightenment Bonus] transform more quickly, and plan the magic spell of spatial movement to speed up the mastery of the plan.

Just as he was heading to the living room to prepare for his lesson, Professor Idrul suddenly sent a message telling Rogus to rush to the other party's treehouse.

Suspicious, he went to the shade of the leafy trees, only to see Idrul, dressed in sackcloth, stroking his beard at him.

"Do you have any orders for calling me?" Rogers looked at the other party's smug expression, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"Come, come, come! Check out the old man's latest works! Idrul reached out and grabbed Rogers' arm and dragged him to the workbench under the treehouse.

On the table are several bright scarlet nuts with a rough surface and an eerie sheen.

A distorted human face was clearly reflected on each nut, this face had deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, outlining a hint of pride and indifference, and the corners of the mouth were slightly upturned with a strange smile.

"It's made of the vampire blood you sent me, and the nuts react whenever the owner of the blood is nearby, or someone who is related to its owner, will show up.

"Then you inject a little more magic, and it will help you actively pursue the vampire, and it can actively absorb the other person's blood."

As he spoke, Idrul stretched out his fingers to channel the magic into one of the nuts, which gradually swelled and cracked, sprouting blood-red vines from the cracks at the bottom, turning into match-like slender limbs that held up the eerie nut's head.

The face on the nut's head also began to activate, and the eyes were concave into two black holes.

The strange little man began to look around incessantly after it was born, but it didn't take long for it to let out a creepy cry.

At that moment, Idrul lifted his oak staff and smashed the little man to pieces in one fell swoop.

"Professor, is this a plant or an animal......," Rogers asked tentatively, after a moment's silence.

"Ah, it has animal parts, and it has plant parts." Idrul stroked his beard and replied slowly.

"Thank you for your help." Rogers slowly bowed his head, wrapped the nuts tightly with ice crystals, and quickly put them away, gratefully.

"Nothing else to say? Like reviews or something? ”

Idrul squeezed his old eyes and asked out loud, what he wanted to hear was a compliment that would satisfy his vanity, but he didn't expect Rogers to just give a sincere thanks.

He knew that this kind of experimental research was a little bit inconvenient to show to the world, and only in front of the eyes of Rogers, who knew it, could he confidently show his great achievements, so Rogers was the only person who could appreciate his superb skills.

"Is there anything else you're hybridizing with the hybridization experiment you're working on?" Instead of giving Idrull the answer he wanted, Rogers asked rhetorically in a subtle tone.

Hearing this, Idrul's eyes flickered for a moment, and then replied in a firm tone, "There must be nothing more!" ”
