Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Chapter 167: Ciel: Professor Endsworth, could you please shut up?

Endsworth noticed the look on Charles's face and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Rocks, do you know where Leopold went?"

He was really curious about this.

Endsworth is a high-level transcendent after all.

Although it was just a normal state, he could still sense when a low-sequence transcendent left him.

And Sif...

It seemed like her breath was still there at the last moment, but disappeared the next moment.

This kind of thing was still a little too weird for him.

"Girls have this for a few days every month... Sif probably doesn't want us to find out."

Endsworth was stunned at first, then nodded in agreement.

While nodding, he couldn't help but glance at Sif's chair.

Professor Endsworth, you've narrowed your path... If it were during the Age of Five Gods, you would have been captured and locked up for months by some fanatics just with this one glance.

Charles complained in his heart, but he didn't expect that if it were during the Five Gods Era, he would probably be chased and hacked by the believers of the Church of the Goddess of Night.

But even if he was being hunted, Ciel was not afraid. After all, he had Mother Earth... and his sister, so it was okay.

"There are more and more female lecturers in the school. It seems that we should ask the logistics department to send more brown sugar or something."

"I have to say, the high priest really understands women, otherwise he wouldn't have so many confidantes."

The corners of Charles' mouth, which had been slightly raised, drooped again.

Professor Endsworth... could you please stop mentioning my name?

I sell brown sugar simply to make money. The reason why I tie it to women's health and something else is mainly for marketing!

"What a pity, in our world's tens of thousands of years of history, there has only been one high priest."

"Ever since the High Priest disappeared, the tastes in women's lingerie shops haven't changed in tens of thousands of years."

"The High Priest truly brought the beauty of hazy temptation to its peak..."

Shut up, you bastard!

Even Ciel would blush if he told someone about this.

"Actually, there are some innovations." Charles said weakly.

"Innovations based on the High Priest are always the same, and although they are beautiful, they don't bring surprises."

"As the times progress, these things remain stagnant!" "Everyone is trying to make changes based on the High Priest's design. Has no one designed a new school of thought like the High Priest?"

"Of course, innovative things like breast pads should be avoided."

"Of all the High Priest's innovations, this one is still hard to accept."

Looking at the chattering Endsworth, Charles had the urge to pull out his tongue.

At the same time, he was frantically comforting himself in his heart that this was for the sake of making money, not a shame!

Theoretically, based on Ciel's knowledge, it was possible to make money easily in that era.

But class and extraordinary existence make some things less simple.

However, in order to go further, even though he knew that the bulk of the profits from some industries would not fall into his hands, he still plunged into it.

If you walk on the road at night too much, you will always encounter ghosts.

There are many people who follow the rules in this world, but there are even more people who do not.

In the process of cooperation, there will always be some people who don't want to give Charles even a little bit of residue.

If he had not happened to hide in the church and gained shelter, Charles' past would probably have been a different story.

However, regarding the past of certain inventions, Charles said he didn't want to recall them at all.

After all, for his identity as the high priest of the church, some titles are too shameful.

The Church of the Earth, the inventor of underwear, a good partner for women’s intimate health, the founder of the aesthetic theory of the female body…the high priest.

If all of Charles' titles were connected together, he would probably be so embarrassed and angry that he would want to bang his head against the wall.

"Professor Endsworth, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Melnadette should be waiting for me now."

"Mernadette? You must pay close attention to that child."

"While I enjoy being friends with people who love all of the High Priest's teachings, I have to say that some of his teachings are very dangerous."

"I personally like it, but most of the people who control power in this world won't like it."

"If it's just research, then there's nothing wrong. But if you want to promote it, then..." Although Endsworth didn't say much, his serious expression revealed a lot.

"The great philosopher Tiger proposed the great doctrine that the extraordinary and the ordinary are equal, and because of this, he never entered the extraordinary realm."

"But...someone once said that if Tiger had become a transcendent, certain things would have developed differently. At least when that doctrine was suppressed, there wouldn't have been so many survivors."

Endsworth felt that Mernadette was playing with fire.

"I'll pay attention." Charles said calmly.

Although I don’t know what the result of this time reversal will be.

But before Mernade kicks me out of the Church of the Earth, he will do his best to protect her.

By the time she wants to drive me away, she probably won't need protection anymore.

Charles walked out of the campus slowly.

What greeted him was Floyd's anxious face.

"Rocks! Have you seen Mernadette? Her presence has disappeared from the school!" A manic expression kept lingering on his face, and the brewing anxious anger wanted him to do something, but in the end he restrained himself.

"Are you still asleep?" Charles patted his shoulder seriously. "Mernadette didn't come to school today. She's at home."

"Have you forgotten? She's not feeling well today."

Ciel's tone was very calm.

Floyds was in confusion.

"But I clearly remember..." No matter how hard Floys thought about it, he remembered that he had clearly sent Mernadè here today.

But he himself is aware of his own shortcomings.

Could it be that I’m sick again?

Floyds fell into self-doubt.

"Okay, stop thinking about it and take me back to the manor. You will see Mernadè then."

Floyd nodded in a daze and drove the carriage towards the manor.

At this time, Mernadette in the manor was also a little confused.

She remembered that she had been in the study.

A lot of things had happened recently, and she wanted to find the answers in the book. But unfortunately, she couldn't find the answers to many things in it.

But why did everyone look a little strange when he walked out of the study?

Lily and Lorna were still asking themselves curiously, saying that they remembered going to school.

When Ciel reversed time, Sif was able to see many things, and so was Mernadette, naturally. However, she was reading very attentively at the time, and although the light around her suddenly became a little glaring and dim, it didn't affect her...

Chapter 168 Chapter 48 Charles: Rubbing your round face will make it feel better

"Look~ I told you that Mernadette took a leave of absence today to rest at home due to health reasons." In the manor, Charles said with a smile as he looked at Mernadette who was wearing linen clothes.

Floyds rubbed his eyes fiercely, then looked a little annoyed.

He wanted to hit himself hard on the face a few times.

However, Mernadette was still in front of him, and such an action would scare her.

"It's my fault... I probably wanted to see little Melnadette so much that I had hallucinations on the way." Floyd said dryly.

Melnadette opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but looking at Charles who put his index finger on his lips, she finally just glanced at the two of them without saying much.

When Floys drove the carriage to bring Charles back, the slow-witted Mernadette finally noticed something was wrong.

For example, there is a problem with the time and date on the clock hanging on the wall.

For example, some maids were a little surprised by my sudden return.

Mernadette was a little confused, but she didn't ask anyone else.

She always remembered what Charles had told her: when something unusual happened around her, she should not ask people around her, but contact him first.

After making the call and knowing that Charles had started heading towards the manor, she had been waiting for him.

"Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe it's because you've been too tired lately."

"Thank you for your hard work in protecting us every time." Charles said in a gentle tone.

"It's not hard! Being able to protect Mei... I mean, this is my job, and I have to be worthy of my salary!" Floyd said sternly.

"Okay, Melnadette and I will be at the manor today, so you can take a short rest."

"With Maureen and the others there, there's no problem."

Floyd scratched his head, then turned and went back to his room.

Although he wanted to protect Mernadette all the time, it was just like what Charles said.

It would be better for him to take a rest in his current condition.

I'm hallucinating!

And I was so stupid that I didn't figure it out for such a long time.

I clearly felt that my "illness" had improved a lot recently, so why is it getting worse again now?

"Brother...you were not at Sister Theresa's house when I called just now." After following Charles into the study, Mernadette whispered.

"And...the butler's voice didn't sound like anything was going on there."

"Why do you think I'm at Severus Manor?" Ciel asked, touching her head.

"Because my brother was at Sister Theresa's place yesterday." Mernadette whispered.

"No...I slept at home yesterday."

Mernadette was stunned.

"Nothing happened at Severus Manor, or at Theresa's house," Charles continued.

"But...I remember Sister Theresa's family..." Mernadette was a little confused.

She doesn't think there's anything wrong with her memory.

After all, she would never make such a big mistake in such an important matter.

"How many days did the incident happen at Theresa's house?"

"April 5th." After Mernadette finished speaking, her eyes fell on the clock hanging next to the study.

The date above is April 2nd.

"I'm the one who adjusted the clock at home, so it will never go wrong." Charles said with a smile.

"But...but..." Mernadette looked at Charles hesitantly.

"Just treat it as a dream. At least the situation is good now." Charles said with a smile.

For a moment, Charles wanted to use his words to induce Mernadè to agree with something.

Something that He, as God, disagrees with.

But in the end he gave up.

He used to cheat a lot in the past, but now he is a little tired of it.

This was his own decision, so why should he lie to her?
