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

Although no one knew why Judd Krolov created the Krolov family before he died, nor why he gave the Krolov family such a strange ancestral motto, Charles knew that Judd must have discovered something or found some clues at that time.

Charles wasn't sure whether this clue would be useful to him, but even if it wasn't, there might be some unexpected gains.

Bi Fang said that he had found the incarnation of the Eternal Blazing Sun or something - it didn't make sense that Sister Earth and the Goddess of Night had come down, but he was still hanging in the sky.

When the time comes, he will find the incarnations of the Goddess of the Sea and the God of War and Glory. As long as he stays by their side, he will always know about the past.

If only I were braver...

No, it’s better not to think too much about this kind of thing.

If I really did...

Charles felt that in the future Daichi's sister would not be able to protect herself.

"Rocks... Is there something on my face?" Peroz, holding a wine glass, looked at Charles, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, and occasionally sighing and smiling bitterly, feeling a little strange for a moment.

"No, no. I just think it's not the right time for you to come back, Peroz." After collecting his thoughts, the champagne in Charles' hand and the wine glass in Peroz's hand touched lightly.

“I think it’s the perfect time~”

"If you hadn't come back, I wouldn't know that you and Theresa had already..." Peroz had a slight smile on his face.

Before leaving, she teased Theresa about the Charles incident.

But he didn't expect that when he came back this time, Theresa was already living in Rocks Manor.

"There's nothing going on between him and me! Peroz, don't misunderstand me!" Teresa put down the wine glass in her hand and trotted to Peroz's side.

"I'm just... just staying here temporarily for safety reasons!"

Theresa's face turned a little red and she looked a little nervous.

She and Peroz have been friends since childhood.

But this time when Peroz came back, she was still a little nervous.

Although the relationship between Charles and her has made great progress, she always remembers... the reason why Charles rejected her countless times before - he already has someone in his heart.

This owner is Peroz.

She also knew that Peroz only treated Charles as a good friend, but in front of her, for some reason Theresa always felt guilty.

It's like I stole my best friend's boyfriend...

Although he and Charles were not really together now, Peroz only considered him a friend.

But this feeling...always made her feel a little embarrassed to face Peroz.

"I just want to say... I didn't expect your relationship to become so good. Why are you blushing, Teresa?" Peroz's tone became more ambiguous.

"Who's blushing? It's because it's so warm in here!"

"It's almost summer, and Rocks is still at home burning the fireplace!"

Ciel glanced at the dark fireplace and sighed.

It's cute, but a little bit stupid.

Even if you want to pass on the blame, you should do it more professionally...

Facing Charles' gaze, Theresa's face turned even redder, and then she rushed towards Charles, waving her little fists.

Looking at the two people playing and fighting, Peroz's smile became even happier.

Just as she turned around and prepared to chat with Sif and Mernadette, a scene and a voice suddenly appeared in her mind for no apparent reason.

"From now on, you must keep an eye on Charles, or he'll be corrupted by your father."

The image of what she was thinking, shown by the mirror of self, reappeared.

Peroz shook his head fiercely.

The scenes she saw that time were mostly what she desired in her heart.

Could it be that I have feelings for Rocks that are more than just friendship?

Peroz turned around and looked at Charles again, who was raising his hands to beg for mercy, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

Chapter 183 Chapter 63: Should I feel regret or be thankful?

Peroz carefully recalled his contact with Charles.

To be honest, if we talk about affection, Peroz definitely has a good impression of Charles.

Whether it was his initial impression of Charles, her encouragement and enlightenment before and after the expedition, or their daily interactions.

Charles's attitude towards her made Peroz feel very comfortable.

Therefore, in Peroz's heart, Charles gradually became her good friend.

But... they are just good friends. As for love between men and women, Peroz has no idea at all.

She is not resistant to love, but she will devote her time to her hobbies for a long time in the future.

So she hopes to find a partner who has the same interests and hobbies as her.

Charles... is still a little too weak.

"Perhaps Rocks was the only man I had feelings for at that time..." Thinking of the image in the mirror of self, Peroz gave himself a suitable reason and then stopped thinking about it.

For her right now, there are two most important things.

One is to organize the information left by my father and then determine the direction of the next expedition and make a plan.

The other thing is to find a way to break out of the cage after making a plan. If possible, she hopes that not only she can break out of the cage alone, but everyone can leave here together.

This was also an important reason why she resolutely chose to come back despite Hogot's dissuasion.

There were already very few people in this world that Peroz cared about, and she didn't want to reduce that number again.

"Are you worried about something?" On the other side, Sif, who was chatting with Mernadette, looked at Peroz who was frowning at this moment. After talking to Mernadette for a few words, she walked to her side.

"Indeed, I thought of some things that are not suitable to be thought about at this time." Peroz nodded, then said to Sif, "Thank you for what happened last time. If it weren't for Teacher Hogot's reminder, I wouldn't have known that I owed you such a big favor."

"Actually, I didn't do anything..." Sif said a little embarrassedly.

At that time, she had no way to persuade Perozzi, so she had to think of a stupid method. Fortunately, the Truth Association cooperated with her, otherwise...

"Thank you anyway!" Peroz hugged Sif gently and said.

After the two of them let go, Sif looked at Peroz seriously and said, "Although I know many people have told you since I came back, I still want to say something."

"Shouldn't I have come back?" Peroz looked at Sif with a smile.

Sif nodded seriously, "You really shouldn't have come back."

Backed by the Truth Association and being a lecturer at the Moroston Royal Academy, and with Sif being only a low-level transcendent of Sequence 9, with these conditions combined, during this turbulent time in the Kingdom of York, Sif is probably the safest person here.

But even so, some of her new friends in the Truth Society, and even the president of the Truth Society, had suggested that she should leave.

After all, according to Reiner, if Sif died, he would avenge her, but what would it matter even if he avenged her?

It just re-established the authority of the association, but she herself could not survive.

But Sif was reluctant to leave.

Sif is a homebody. She grew up here and is familiar with everything about Moroston.

Here are her friends, colleagues, family, elders, and everything she loves.

Leaving here was a very difficult decision, especially when her life was still largely protected.

But... Peroz is different. Now that she has left, she shouldn't come back.

"I can't stay outside all the time. My birthday is coming soon, and I'm waiting for your gifts, Leopold~" Peroz said in a light tone.

Meeting her gaze, Sif nodded helplessly, "You are so greedy. I didn't receive any gift from you on my birthday."

"You can't blame me for this. I wasn't at home at that time." Peroz spread his hands and said in a rogue manner.

Sif couldn't help but laugh.

"Is there anything worth being happy about? Can you tell me about it?" Charles walked over with a glass of wine.

"Well...we were talking about you, Rocks." Sif changed the subject lightly. It was really not appropriate to talk about heavy topics at a dinner party.

"Me?" Charles looked at her strangely.

"I'm a little envious of you, Rocks. The party is full of beautiful ladies like me, and there aren't any men at all."

"Tell me! Rocks, did you do this on purpose?"

Originally she just wanted to change the subject, but looking at the people around her, Sif's voice began to become more certain.

"That's true. In my impression, Rocks' friends...seem to be all pretty girls." Peroz said, holding back his laughter.

"Professor Endsworth would be offended if he heard what you said." Charles was dumbfounded and then complained.

"Professor Endsworth is an elder, not a friend." Teresa, who had come over because of the excitement, said seriously.

Charles was at a loss for words.

"Well, that's because of work. If there were other male lecturers in my office instead of Leopold, there would definitely be a lot more people attending the dinner." When she first joined the academy, Sif was still a jinx that many people didn't want to have anything to do with.

It was normal for Charles, who worked in the same office with her, to be treated coldly. Furthermore, given Charles' inherent aloofness, it was no wonder that his interpersonal relationships were simple.

"But why did I hear Professor Endsworth say that it was you who took the initiative to share an office with a beautiful lady~" Sif held her chin with a "confused" look on her face.

This time, Charles surrendered completely.

At the same time, he was muttering in his heart, Professor Endsworth, why are you so talkative?

How can you tell this kind of thing to the person involved?

But this was indeed his choice.

There were only a few offices with vacancies at that time, and most of them were shared by four or five lecturers or teaching assistants. However, there was not only Sif's office, but she was also a beauty. Any normal man would know how to choose.

Even if there are no other ideas, it is great just to be pleasing to the eyes.

Of course, Charles had other ideas at the time, after all, he had just come out of the City of Eternal Night...

Now he felt somewhat fortunate that he was addicted to the City of Eternal Night at that time, otherwise he would have really been with Sif... and he would probably be in trouble now.

It is true that being with the goddess is very exciting.

But...when the goddess recovers her memory and strength, this stimulation will be magnified countless times.

As for breaking up at the speed of light after discovering his identity?

Melnade said the goddess of the night was a tsundere and a bit stingy...

However, for some reason, while feeling relieved, Charles felt a little regretful...

No!

I can't keep thinking like this!

Xia Erjue feels that since he came to this era, he has been letting himself go more and more. If he continues like this, he will be finished sooner or later!

Chapter 184: Key, Experiment

Charles made a sincere confession for his behavior. In view of his sincerity, Sif and the other two let him go for the time being, and then gathered together to talk about some interesting things that happened around them recently.

Charles walked over to Mernadette, who had been staying in the corner.

"Don't you love listening to Perozzi's stories the most? Why are you hiding so far away?" He said while touching Mernadette's hair.

Mernade and Sif actually have a pretty good relationship.

It's just that because of her personality, it's hard for her to get together with them and talk loudly and happily about things like they do. Even the fights between girls are hard for her to happen.

Even if there were, it would be similar to Charles or Mernadè being rubbed on the face and tickled by others.

"No, nothing more, I just..." Melnadette leaned forward and looked at Charles a little embarrassedly.

Ciel held her hand and said, "It's not good to lie."

Mernadette's head drooped involuntarily.
