Emily is gifted in alchemy, and it hasn't been too long since she was exposed to this knowledge, but her progress has been rapid.

And there is a natural intuition that can make her take a lot of detours in her studies.

Armed with knowledge, coupled with the changes in her body, and her contact with transcendent powers, she is no longer the ignorant maid she was at the beginning.

"Sir...... Are you planning a trip far away? Emily asked again.

"I don't know why, it's a strange feeling, just now, I always felt like you were planning to leave at any moment."

Roger smiled, sometimes intuition is just like that.

"Will go out for a while."

Roger mumbled.

Emily patted her chest, and the expression on her face relaxed a lot.

"Even if you're not here, the whole estate will be incredibly stable in everyone's hearts, especially Miss Chloe."

The two walked along the edge of the lake into the distance, Emily slightly half a position behind, but with a confident and happy smile on her face.

"Keep up the good work, and hopefully I'll see you improve even more when I come back next time." When it came to parting, Roger finally gave a word of encouragement.

Then he turned and left.

But at this moment, a fragrant wind hit behind him, and then a soft body hugged him from behind.

"Mr. Roger, I know...... You're not ......"

Emily strained slightly.

"But thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me, it has changed my life forever."

"I ...... I wish you all the best in your future journeys. ”

Something seemed to be stuck in her throat, which made Emily's voice slurred a little, and soon Roger felt his arms loosen around him.

When he turned around and saw only the girl's back fading away, she raised her hand cheerfully, "Goodbye, Mr. Roger." ”

"I'm going to get better!"

The pace gradually quickened, and there was no melancholy in Emily's voice, as if it were an ordinary greeting.

Roger laughed dumbly, perhaps what he saw at this moment was Emily's original temperament.

"Let's hope there's another time."

He sighed softly and watched Emily's back disappear into the cabin not far away, before Roger turned and walked into the woods in the distance.

Long after he left, Emily quietly withdrew her gaze by the window of the cabin.

Just now, she mustered up the greatest courage in her life to hug Roger from behind under impulse.

But at the moment when the sentence was about to blurt out, the girl still chose to cover her heart, and finally could only send a blessing.

Although she wanted to say more than just a blessing.

She knew that she was from a humble background, from an ordinary family, and that person, in terms of quality and strength, was like an unattainable big man.

She felt humbled.

For such a person, it may be a distraction to express one's thoughts rashly.

Emily suddenly remembered the day long ago, when she hid in Roger's room under Chloe's arrangement.

Although the conversation that day changed the course of her life completely, it seems like a wonderful thing to think about it now, if something really happened in the first place.

Thinking of this, she sighed wistfully.

Silently withdrawing her gaze, Emily noticed that Valene, who was sitting in the corner of the room, had raised her head at some point.

The two looked at each other, and they unexpectedly saw similar emotions in each other's gazes.

"Do we have the same experience?"

Withdrawing his gaze, the room fell into an eerie silence.

It wasn't until much later that Valeni was the first to break the silence.

"I heard...... You were Mr. Roger's personal maid before. Valeni spoke slowly, pausing deliberately on the word close.

Her eyes shone with an inexplicable glow, and the temptation in her words was self-evident.

Emily subconsciously puffed up her chest.

"Yes, that's what you think."

Valeni put down the pen in her hand, "So the two of us really have a lot in common, and when I was in the Commonwealth, I had the privilege of being Mr. Roger's personal assistant...... We worked together for a while. ”

"To be honest, it was a pleasant and memorable experience." Valeni had a hint of aftertaste in her eyes.

The two stared at each other.

This time the meaning is a little stranger.

At this time, Roger didn't know that because he, Emily and Valeni racked their brains to make up peachy stories about him.

He circled the edge of the woods, and instead of returning directly to the manor, he mobilized his forces and came to the city not far from the manor.

The city is brightly lit.

The changes caused by the soul realm are not big enough to affect the structure of this world and subvert the existing classes.

So when Roger entered the city, he saw a peaceful scene.

Fire Rose Manor.

Roger sneaked in silently, the gates of the manor opened, and from time to time a carriage with the family crest torn off would enter.

Even the driver of the car was tightly wrapped, and a pair of vigilant eyes occasionally flashed by the window.

Fine handmade carpets, delicate silver cutlery on walnut-colored wooden tables, Joseph dressed like a pheasant ready for a ball, greeted every guest with a smile.

"Don't worry, Shi ...... This gentleman you have never met, you should have found this place because of a friend's introduction, and as you can see, every reagent here works better than what is sold on the market. ”

"As for authenticity, there is certainly no doubt about it."

The smile on Joseph's face grew, "What? ”

"You want to test the effect of this reagent in person?!" Joseph grimaced.

"Well, it's not that I don't want to, but the actual effect is really beyond your imagination, and if you take it here, I'm afraid it will bring some indecency."

"Because some abnormalities in the body cannot be relieved by bending over, and for the sake of your health, I recommend that you ...... immediately after taking the reagent Ahem......"

"Wait, what did you say?"

"You said you brought your own girlfriend?!"

"Oh...... It's a male partner, that's no problem, the reagent strengthens your own tools, don't pick men and women...... But the only concern is the safety of your companions. ”

"It's dangerous if your companion is male."

"Your accidental injury may cause your companion to say goodbye to some kind of physical activity for good."

"Please understand that we have full confidence in our reagents, and we only provide the reagents, not the experimental site."

"What?"

"You say the carriage? No, neither can the carriage. ”

The expression on Joseph's face began to become serious.

"So you can either trust us or go back the way you came."

Joseph's voice came to his ears, and Roger couldn't help but shake his head amusedly.

At that time, I didn't expect this guy to seize the opportunity to do it today.

Joseph was also an interesting guy, which reminded him of an old friend from another world.

I just don't know if he has broken his bad habit of gambling.

Finally sending away a guest, Joseph just wanted to ring the brass bell at hand. He jerked his head up and saw a figure passing by.

A trace of consternation flashed on his face, and he turned the copper bell in his hand upside down, "That's it for today, the stock has been sold out, please come back tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he ignored the complaints from outside and closed the door directly.

"Dear Roger, it's been a long time!"

"Did you come from the manor?" He whispered as he spoke, as if looking for Chloe.

"It's just me, I'm planning to go out on a long trip recently, so I'll come and have a look."

Roger said with a smile.

"Then you should stay here for a few days, and I'll introduce you to the best ladies in town."

Joseph leaned in with a grin, and after a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point.

"Has a new potion been born?"

"The potion you have prepared is effective, but it will fall into a strange peace phase for a while after using it."

"During this period, even the most glamorous goblins can't get the slightest interest in the users of the reagents."

"You don't know, because of this property, and with a long thought process, the person taking the potion looks like a thinking monk or a sage."

"That's why he called this time the time of the sage."

"And our reagent is called the Sage Reagent."

"If there's a way to fix this, I'm willing to bet sales can multiply even more!"

"Alright, stop complaining."

Roger looked helpless.

"How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"After releasing to your heart's content, you naturally need to have a good rest, and if you really want that kind of reagent, it's not without ......"

"Really?" Joseph's eyes lit up.

"Really, it's my newly developed green herbal medicine, and it will have a magical effect after using it......"

“…… From now on, you can basically get rid of the sage reagent completely, and you will be full of energy......"

Under Roger's indoctrination, Joseph had engraved the name of the herb in his mind, and he had even begun to think about it now.

Roger didn't say anything, but told Joseph seriously before parting.

"If there is a threat to your life, take this token and find someone."

Joseph took the snake badge, and the snake eyes on the badge made him unforgettable.

"I wish you never needed it."

Although the life of ordinary people is a little plain, it is the most suitable for Joseph.

"Next time, remember to inform me in advance, I can not only arrange the most outstanding celebrity for you, hehe, but even find a young noble lady!"

Joseph shouted.

He had limited knowledge of Roger, but his attitude was more relaxed, and Roger just waved his hand, but did not answer.

……

Chamber of the Federal Parliament.

After the impromptu meeting of the various city-states, Olivia rubbed her forehead wearily, and after sending the last city lord out of the council chamber, when she returned to her seat, she found that there was already a special badge on the table.

A blank piece of paper is pressed under the badge.

When Olivia picked up the paper in her hand, the clear handwriting gradually appeared.

At the same time, in the dark cavern, Oakes wore a hooded voice in a low voice, and suddenly his face changed slightly, listening carefully to the voice in his head.

When it was all over, Oakes knelt down on one knee in one direction.

"My master, your orders are my goal, and I will follow your request to become the king of the night."

With these things arranged, Roger returned to the manor before dark.

It wasn't too late, and I watched the last rays of afterglow disappear into the horizon. Roger opened the door to the main hall.

On the opposite side of the long table sat Chloe.

She was clearly well-groomed, with a delicate collarbone under her fair neck and a solemn and elegant black dress.

"I thought you wouldn't be back."

Chloe's clenched palm slowly released.

"This time."

Roger replied softly.

Hearing his words, Chloe's expression became tense again.

"You...... Where are you going? ”

"That'...... That ......"

Chloe stammered, she knew the answer, but she couldn't speak.

"I don't think you can get used to all of this, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"In whose capacity?" Chloe asked in a trembling voice.

"Which one do you want?" Roger smiled.

Chloe's breathing suddenly became rapid, she took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

There was silence in the room, except for the crackling of the burning candles, and the flickering light of the fire was like Chloe's mood at this time.

"Roger."

"I hope it's you, the real Roger!"

Chloe opened her eyes again, her gaze full of determination.

Roger smiled and walked forward, and under Chloe's gaze, the face that had been so familiar just now had changed to a different look.

But this face is obviously unfamiliar, but it does not look abrupt in the eyes.

"It's all over."

Chloe sighed.

"I should have thought of it, how could I miss with Javier's methods?"

"And although there are traces of your subsequent changes, it is more like from my imagination, I know him ......"

"Probably because of this, I sadly realized that the family could hardly rise in his hands."

"So you can only deceive yourself."

The melancholy on her face was quickly swept away, and she seemed to accept the result completely, and Chloe seemed extremely relaxed.

The invisible shackles had been on her for too long, too long.

She couldn't breathe.

"Will you be back?"

Chloe picked up the glass in front of her.

"To be honest, I don't know." Roger shook his head with a wry smile.

"How long?" Chloe asked again.

"Honestly, it's probably up to you."

Roger revealed a bit of information, and Chloe had a hint of clarity in her eyes.

As the manager of a branch school, she can detect some things.

"Thank you for what you've done."

Chloe drank the wine from her glass and filled it again.

"For our next meeting!"

Drinking the second glass of wine, Chloe's face flushed, which was almost impossible with her alcohol and physical fitness.

Roger was slightly stunned as he watched Chloe raise the third glass of wine.

"For the sake of ...... In order to ......"

Her voice trembled, Chloe couldn't seem to even clench her glass, and Roger's face changed slightly, and he walked quickly to her side.

Immediately Chloe collapsed in his arms.

With a slight wrinkle in his nose, Roger quickly analyzed the doped liquid in the wine glass.

"The reagents you got from Joseph?"

Roger finally understands why Joseph would look for Chloe in the first place when he saw him.

"Uh-huh......" exhaled a puff of wine.

"For the sake of ...... The romance of this night! ”

Chloe finally spat out the last sentence, and her cheeks were red and her eyes were almost dripping.

"It's not a thanks, it's a relaxation!"

With an arm around his neck, Chloe jerked Roger down on the table.

Crackling, creaking.

Outside, the night was getting darker.

Tables and chairs in the room are vertical and horizontal.
