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

"I remember that you have been reading the enlightenment books left by the high priest recently."

Mernadette nodded seriously.

She has read those discussions countless times, and each time it brings her a different shocking feeling.

It was a feeling as if her soul was cleansed, and she seemed to have found her goal.

"Then you must have read the sentence in it: Practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

"There's a lot of content on there that you need to verify for yourself."

"It's not okay to be so reserved in front of your good friends like this."

As he spoke, Charles brought Melnadette to the side of the group. Sometimes Melnadette was so strong that it made people feel distressed, but sometimes she was so introverted that it made people anxious.

"We were just talking about you~" Seeing Mernadè brought over by Charles, Sif showed a malicious smile.

"Peroz said he hasn't touched Mernadette's chubby cheeks for several months and he missed it a little~" Theresa said with a smile as she grabbed Mernadette who was shrinking back.

"When did I say that!" Peroz's words made Mernad feel a little relieved.

"But after you put it this way, I do feel a little nostalgic~" As he spoke, Peroz stretched out his hand and made a ferocious expression.

"Brother..." Mernadette looked at Charles pitifully.

Charles remained unmoved and joined in bullying Mernadette.

Feeling Charles' "sinister" intentions, Mernadette finally stood up as described in the book and began her own "resistance."

However, unlike what is described in the book, Mernadè's resistance was quickly and brutally suppressed.

In the evening, Charles sent Morin to see Sif and Peroz off.

During this time, Morin put all his "resentment" towards Mernadette on Charles, trying to find something interesting from him.

Therefore, he basically obeyed Charles' orders.

Charles didn't bother to be polite with him, and basically asked him to run errands or send someone off whenever he had the chance.

Perhaps Morin had already noticed something strange at this time, and it was unknown when he would choose to confront Charles.

After sending a few people away, Charles came to Mernadè's room alone.

At this moment she was telling a story to Lily and Lorna.

The two little girls were of school age. Because they were taught by Mernadette alone, they were not as good as the students who followed the regular schedule in many aspects. Therefore, Charles specially invited several teachers to give them extra lessons.

After they were almost able to catch up with the school's progress, Charles sent them to a good school and found a good class.

Although he has some physical defects, he won't be bullied because of Charles.

Therefore, the time the two little ones could spend with Mernadette dropped sharply. When Charles opened the door and tried to snatch Mernadette from them, the two little ones were a little unhappy.

"My brother dotes on them too much. Now they have become a little willful." Looking at the two people who left with pouts, Mernad said a little embarrassedly.

"This is what it's like to be a family. At least it's better than the formality before." Charles said gently.

"Besides, it's really my fault this time. I deprived them of the rare time every week when they could listen to Mernadette's storytelling."

Lily and Lorna had less time to interact with Mernadette because they went to school. At the same time, Mernadette had less time to take care of the two little ones because she was immersed in a new subject. It was no wonder that they felt a little resentful when they left.

Melnadette felt a little embarrassed, and then asked Charles, "Brother, what do you want to see me about?"

Charles nodded, then took out some round keys that looked like copper coins. Inside these keys was a pattern that looked like the sun, with a vertical eye in the sun.

"This is..."

"The legacy left by our predecessors." Charles' tone was a little melancholy.

These round keys are the keys to the Void Palace, the culprit that brought Charles to this era.

For a while, Charles didn't want to or didn't dare to enter there again. After all, no one knew how time would pass in the outside world the next time he came out of there.

In the end, he suppressed other thoughts in his mind and went back and forth there many times to look for some clues. Unfortunately, apart from the keys placed on each seat, he found nothing else.

"Inheritance?" Mernadette was a little confused.

When Charles mentioned this, Mernadette seemed to recall the scene when she just met Charles.

At that time, Charles did talk about something like family and found an excuse for his specialness (being born with the ability to understand and read all languages).

Now with some family inheritance, it seems pretty...normal.

"It is a key that leads whoever holds it to a special place."

"In this place, you can avoid almost all dangers."

Although the Xu Palace is just a meeting place, it is the only meeting place created by the Creator.

So far, Charles has never heard of anyone entering the Void Palace without a key.

It’s true that you can avoid all dangers here.

Charles placed a special key that was a circle larger than the other keys in Mernadette's hand, and then asked seriously, "Can I lend the remaining keys to some friends temporarily?" In the virtual hall, a key representing the seat was placed on each seat. Charles did not take away all the keys, but only took away all the keys representing the seats of the Church of the Earth.

He planned to lend these keys temporarily to two people, one was his partner Reiner, and the other was the number one tool man Peroz.

There are many reasons for doing this. On the one hand, it is to protect them after all, they are quite important to Charles. On the other hand, it is also an experiment.

An experiment to determine whether Xudian will "go haywire" again.

Chapter 185 Chapter 65 Meldena: Brother, those who bully others are bad people!

Conservation is easy to understand.

During the Five Gods Era, if a demigod of the Church wanted to survive, it would be very difficult for him to die as long as he had the key to the Void Palace.

As long as they fail to kill the opponent instantly, they can hide in the Void Palace and call for help.

During the Godless Era, the Church of the Five Gods, which actually possessed the key to the Void Palace, should not have declined so quickly.

However, hiding is not a good method after all. Even Judd, a sub-god, would be forced out, let alone other demigods.

Most of the demigods at that time had become demigods since the Five Gods Era, and when faced with many problems, their thinking had not changed, making them easy targets.

If the remaining forces of the current church were to obtain the power and secrets of that time, although it would not be possible to restore the glory of the Five Gods Era, it would still be possible to maintain the church's dominant position.

Charles didn't see the situation at the time, but it was probably inseparable from private means such as threatening the church and the Theocracy.

What a pity... It's been too long, and even now, if Charles wants to do something, he can't find anyone to take revenge on.

For Reiner and Peroz at this time, with this key, they will have a chance of survival no matter what kind of enemy they face - provided that they can open the door and enter before they die.

At the same time, this is also an important experiment for Charles.

He had been going back and forth to the Xu Palace and had almost turned it upside down, but he still hadn't found out what kind of power had taken him through time.

If there were more people here, maybe things would change.

At the same time, Charles would not touch the keys represented by other gods in the Void Palace.

He will leave them there, and the two people who have obtained the qualifications to enter the Void Palace will decide their ownership.

It depends on whether they are brave enough.

Of course, before doing anything, you still need to get Mernadè's permission.

Before Mernadette appeared, Charles had the right to decide all the relics of the Earth Church in the Void Palace. Now that Mernadette was here, the keys should be handed over to her.

However, given the relationship between Mernade and Charles, it was essentially just a simple inquiry procedure.

"Brother, you can decide these things." As expected by Charles, after hearing what Charles said, Mernadette touched the key in her hand and then spoke to Charles seriously.

"Perhaps the loaned key will cause some disturbance or trouble," said Charles.

"I believe in my brother." Mernadette smiled gently.

In her heart, Charles is the best person she has ever met, so he would never do anything bad.

Ciel rubbed her cheek and said, "You...just trust me too much."

"What if one day you find out that I'm not what you imagined?" Charles asked.

"No, I can feel my brother's heart." Melnadette leaned in Charles' arms and then put her ear on his chest.

"Brother is a good man!"

It was the first time that Charles felt that receiving a good guy card was a happy thing.

After hugging Melnadette for a while, Charles pushed her away and asked seriously, "You always say I'm a good person, but that's not enough. You have to prove to me that you really mean it in your heart."

Melnadette's face flushed red as she looked at Charles with some confusion.

How should such a thing be proved?

She thought about it and then hugged Charles' head and placed him on her lap. Originally, she wanted Charles to lie on her chest and listen to her heartbeat like she did just now.

However, as soon as she moved Charles' head to a certain position, her body became a little strange. Thinking of some things she had read in the book before, she hurriedly pressed Charles' head on her legs.

Her action startled Charles for a moment. Then, looking at her red cheeks, which were dripping with blood, Charles couldn't help but tease her while thinking about how much longer his "sentence" had been added by what had just happened. "No, it's just that I can't feel Mernadette's feelings this way."

Mernadette said "hmm" softly, then lowered her head and kissed Charles on the forehead.

Seeing Charles' satisfied look, she couldn't help but gently poke Charles' cheek with her hand.

“Brother, you are a bully and a bad person.”

"You can't blame me for this. It's because Mernadette is so cute that people can't help but bully you." Charles said with a smile, lying on Mernadette's legs and looking up at her embarrassed expression.

"Then... I will try not to be cute in the future, so that my brother won't bully me."

"That won't do. You can be unlovable in front of other people, but you must always be cute in front of your brother."

Mernadette was a little embarrassed, but nodded. Late at night, at Krolov Manor.

After a brief period of relaxation, Peroz devoted himself to studying the materials left by his father.

At the same time, she was also thinking about how to get Charles and the others out of this quagmire.

These things were so messy that there was no clue at all, but she did not give up.

During this period, she wanted to use the Mirror of Self countless times to gain some inspiration from it, but when she thought of her father's affairs, she restrained herself well.

Peroz would never look at the mirror of himself unless things reached a point where he had to.

After all, she thought that she was not a person with great faith and perseverance, and it was impossible for her not to be shaken by the scenes inside.

In her opinion, the image seen in the mirror of self can only be an inspiration or a suggestion, and cannot be regarded as the truth.

Shortcuts are not easy to take, especially those that are full of hope.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door.

Peroz paused.

Then he stared at the door of the secret room.

This is the forbidden area of ​​the Krolov family. Even the housekeeper who has worked here for decades has no idea why there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Although he didn't know who was knocking on the door, looking at the Holy Light and the Mirror of Self beside him, Peroz placed his hand on the bag at his waist and stared in the direction of the door.

"Good evening~ Ma'am, it's been a long time since we last met. I wonder if you missed me~" Probably because of the benefits he had just received from Azimer Nade, Charles' tone was a little excited and a little frivolous after seeing Peroz.

"Good evening, Mr. Priest." Peroz looked at Charles nervously.

"Don't be nervous. I'm here simply to give you something."

The words left by this mysterious man after their last meeting flashed through Peroz's mind.

[“However, if one day in the future you accomplish what we agreed upon, I will give you a surprise.”

"Or a special qualification."]

"I don't seem to have done what we agreed upon during this period..." Peroz said with his head down.

Although a long time has passed, Peroz still remembers the agreement with Charles.

Theoretically, the harvest from Palasti this time did not involve any place that could be traded.
