God's family

Ever since he guessed, or deduced, about Lesant's inhuman attributes, and made up a series of stories he had to tell with human gods, Roger looked at Lesant with a look of novelty and exploration. As a "best friend" who shared each other's most intimate secrets, Roger felt that the relationship between himself and Nexant became much closer at once - of course, this does not mean that he can tolerate the other party sharing his half The bed, so, and Lycente were quickly and resolutely driven from his night territory by Roger, and without mercy.

In any case, the cold war between Roger and Lacente finally came to an end. Both Leon, who was always angered by Lacente, and Theodore, the elf who cherished each other's friendship, breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the team suddenly It's a lot easier.

In addition to resolving the gap between himself and Lesant, what made Roger most happy was the artifact Geoffrey he had already obtained. After equipping Geoffrey, Roger's various attributes—especially magic The attributes have been greatly improved, and the magic that was originally marked as [unusable] in the magic list can finally be used at will - of course, his MP value will be completely abolished after using it once - which makes Roger's heart beat What's more, the staff Jeffrey actually has the function of teaching various departments of magic, which completely solves the dilemma that Roger has the potential to learn all kinds of magic but doesn't know how to cover up his specialness while learning new magic.

Jeffrey, it is simply a magic book!

Due to various reasons, although Jeffrey's body has been imprinted with the imprint of a human god, Roger still couldn't help but become greedy, and he hesitated to try to enshrine Jeffrey to the human god Clarence. Even if the god probably wouldn't take back the staff he had given to someone else.

In any case, what you can learn belongs to you. Even if you have to return the staff Geoffrey to the original owner in the future, the magic learned from Geoffrey will still not disappear. Adhering to this belief, Roger He raced against time to acquire all kinds of magic knowledge, and he was even more reluctant to let go of his staff. After trying various methods but finding nothing, Laycent finally remembered that he also knew how to use various types of magic, which made Roger pay attention Moved from Jeffrey to himself—after all, Jeffrey has just woken up and is still a little weak, and his self-awareness is still in a state of sleep most of the time, so naturally he can't be alive and kicking, and he can explain Roger's doubts anytime, anywhere The Nexant comes easily.

With the dedicated escort of several coastal lords, the Sea Clan mission arrived at the human capital without any disturbances. As the nominal "human prince", Lacente naturally needed to return to the palace. , and after contemplating for a moment, Roger finally withstood Lacente's eyes of all kinds of complaints and accusations, and rejected his invitation to stay in the palace.

Firstly, as a commoner with roots, Roger feels like Alexander when he comes into contact with the real "royal family". No matter how well the palace guest rooms are decorated, he probably won't be able to sleep. Secondly, he is still hesitant to try it. Breaking up with Laycent and others—Although it is unkind to slap his ass and leave after taking the artifact and knowing the secret of the other party, Roger, who yearns for peace and tranquility, still cannot just watch himself being involved in the battle with Lay Cente. In the vortex brought by Sente.

...Well, it seems that he himself is a troublesome physique...

After assuring Laicent that he would stay in the capital for a while and that he would never leave without saying goodbye, Roger finally dismissed Laicant, who had taken a step and looked back, and found with a headache that the other party seemed to be more clingy after sharing the secret. people.

When he first arrived in the capital, he naturally needed to take a good look around. After getting the "employment fee" paid by Leon as agreed, Roger had a huge sum of money in his pocket, and finally he reluctantly had to lower his proud head in front of the high prices in the capital.Of course, according to his nature, if he can save a gold coin, he will naturally not spend money indiscriminately, but he will never be soft on the things he should buy.

Roger, who has long regarded himself as an "adventurer" profession, has almost changed all his equipment, and finally bought a storage space for a necklace with a good price. Although it looks motherly, the salesperson and I don't know if it's "trusted" by the customer next to him, but he keeps praising him for his good looks, and he looks like he will have no eyes if he doesn't buy it.As for the wand, although he already had Jeffrey, the top artifact, Roger still bought a new fire-type wand as a spare, in case any force majeure would take Jeffrey away in the future, and he would have no weapons.

After shopping around intermittently, Roger had already stayed in the capital for nearly ten days—then, he was almost ready to leave when he received a summons from the human royal family.

It was Nexant who brought him the bad news. Roger was drinking water at the time, and when he heard the news, he immediately sprayed him in the face.

"Don't look at me like that, it's not my fault!" Nexant blinked innocently, but for some reason, Roger had a feeling that Nexant must have had a hand in this matter.

"What did your father summon me for?" Roger's face was bitter, no matter how unwilling he was and how much he despised the royal family, he really didn't dare to refuse the summoning—as long as he belonged to the human race.

"My father and mother just want to get to know the friends I met on the trip." Lacente saw Roger's face was tangled, and he leaned to his side, trying to comfort him with open arms, "It's the first time they saw me like this And rely on a person, a little curious."

Roger got goosebumps from being rubbed all over by Lycente, even if he tried his best to transform the other party's image into a staff, it was still in vain - fall!Whose staff is this kind of soft flesh and will rub around? !

Roger blushed, and tried hard to push Lacente away, but when he turned his head to reprimand him, he met Lacente's dark eyes, the grievance, worry, complaint and longing in them made his movements After a pause, I was quite helpless, "Do you know that I plan to leave?"

"Well, yes, so I can't let you go." Lacente tightened his arms, resting his chin on Roger's shoulder, his black forehead hair hanging down, covering his eyes.Roger, who couldn't communicate with Lacente through the "window of the soul", instinctively felt that there was some kind of turmoil that he dared not touch under the seemingly coquettish tone.

"... What are you talking about, I haven't shown up for ten days, I thought you had thrown me out of the sky long ago." Roger wisely changed the subject, trying to position himself as being abandoned rather than abandoned on the human side.

"I have been away from the capital for a long time, so I have accumulated a lot of troubles. Although I don't care about it at all, Leon always stops me and won't let me come to you until I finish dealing with it." Laycent said in his tone The grievances and accusations added a little more, and Roger was relieved, feeling that the crisis seemed to be slightly reduced.

"I never knew you'd listen to Leon."

"...He threatened death. If I leave without finishing the matter, he will wipe my neck." Lacente said contemptuously and disgustedly.

Roger thought about the situation at that time, and couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for Leon, who was many times harder than himself. If Lyon didn't have Leon, his best friend, to help him deal with the royal family and the nobles, he would have been killed. He gnawed until there was not even a scum left... What a thick love this is!On the contrary, it shows how scumbag Nexant is.

"Fortunately, the trick of forcing you to death seems to be useful to you."

"Actually, I was—"

"Okay! I really don't intend to know how scumbag you are!" Roger interrupted Lycente, raising his hands to cover his face.

"...?" Laycent blinked blankly, completely unaware of why Roger's mood changed so quickly.Also... scum... what is it?

"How do you know I'm planning to leave? I don't seem to have told anyone, right?" Roger has been in contact with Theodore the elf and Gal the bard, except for Lacent and Leon, whom he hasn't seen in the past few days.The former is very curious about the human king's capital and is a good choice for going shopping together, while the latter quickly expanded his business in the king's capital and cultivated a large number of new fans.

"I can feel it." Lacente said with some displeasure, even the lines of his face were tense, he trapped Roger's body with one hand, and pressed his chest tightly with the other—fortunately, he is not a woman, Otherwise, I must yell "indecent", but...it's not good to do this to men, right? !

"If you are worrying about something, and your mind is full of thoughts about that matter over and over again, I seem to feel it. You—— have been thinking about whether you should leave, haven't you?" Layson Te's voice sank again, "You make me feel very irritable all the time."

The hot air from Lacente sprayed on Roger's ears, making his hair stand on end as if possessed by an evil spirit. He didn't even have the time to continue researching this weird "psychic connection", so he could only instinctively With a full face, Nei Niu promised that he would never sneak away, and that he would definitely go to the palace with Laycent to have an audience.

Roger felt that Lacente must have had a terrible time these few days, and the docile and peaceful personality that had been maintained in front of him like a big dog had completely collapsed!What is going on with this kind of rush that seems to turn black anytime, anywhere? !What a terrible, perverted place the palace is!

"Remember your words. No matter where you leave me and run, I, will, find, find, you." Lycente held Roger's cheek, forcing him to look sideways at himself, staring at you. He said every word.

These words were like a spell, restraining Roger, making him unable to even move. He could only stare blankly at Lycente, widening his clear and pure red eyes.

Then, the question of "should we leave" that he had been lingering in his heart for a long time was completely dissipated.

He couldn't leave, no matter what, unless he could completely get rid of the man in front of him without regard for friendship and cruelty.

Roger has always rationally believed that leaving is a better choice for him, but his feelings have kept him wandering, unable to really take action. This is actually the result of someone who has been working hard.

During the period when emotions were weak and reason and interests dominated Roger's actions, Nexant had been acting coquettishly, showing his dependence unrestrainedly and unabashedly, and creating all kinds of accidents and dangers that aggravated the shoulders of the kind-hearted Roger. The burden made him unable to turn around and leave regardless, but he never really stopped him from doing anything, in case this young man who was beautiful and peaceful on the outside, but proud and stubborn on the inside was forced too hard, and hurt the friendship between them.

I have been walking all the way, the emotional weight is getting heavier and heavier, and the reason is becoming more and more unable to control the emotional nostalgia. Even Roger stayed in the capital for a few days, but leaving was still just a plan in his mind. In the end, Nexant, who felt the time was right, delivered a fatal blow.

Sometimes, people are like this. They will not die until they reach the Yellow River, and they will not look back until they hit the south wall. When hesitating but unable to make up his mind no matter what, an irresistible thrust will become the end of everything.

Lacente's frank but threatening words completely blocked Roger, who was wandering at the fork in the road, from going in one direction, and he was a bit unwilling to walk along the other road. , Resentment at the same time, but feel really relieved.

look!It's not that I didn't want to follow my reason and leave, but I was kind-hearted and didn't want to turn against Lacente, and I didn't want to fight against the human royal family, so I had to do this!With such thoughts in mind, Roger easily and happily embarked on the path prescribed and guided by man, and once he went, he could not turn back.
