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

Charles was very clear about many things, but when facing Peroz, his words and expressions were still very bad.

It's not simply to shape his own character, but more importantly, it's very interesting to see Peroz frowning and looking confused.

In front of strangers, Charles is always gentle, kind and generous, a perfect high priest of the Church of the Earth.

But in front of familiar friends, almost all of his friends have greeted him with some special words.

Sometimes, his personality is really bad - he always wants to be the elder of his friends. If he can't beat them, Charles will definitely get beaten every day.

Peroz's body trembled slightly.

But she made a decision quickly.

She would try her best to find a solution to the problem, but if she really couldn't find a more reliable way, she would take the key out.

She has no idea what the future holds.

But at least now, they can use this place to avoid disaster.

Without the present, how can we talk about the future?

After thinking it through, Peroz's expression gradually calmed down, and then he realized it on Charles who was chewing an apple.

"Mr. Priest, you brought me here not just to solve my troubles, right?"

If this was the case, Peroz was sure that the person in front of him had countless solutions that were more convenient than this method.

But he chose the strangest one.

This made Peroz think a lot.

Also the keys on the table looked strange.

His attire, the position he sat in, and the keys he had put away seemed to declare something to Perozzi.

This information, combined with the recent events in the Kingdom of York and the fertile lands spanning thousands of miles, vaguely told Peroz something.

The mysterious man in front of him is from the Church of the Earth, and he is also very likely the church god hidden in the Kingdom of York that other secret associations have been looking for!

If possible, Peroz didn't want to have anything to do with this guy.

It’s not that she was disgusted with Charles’ behavior—in fact, Peroz was very grateful to Charles.

If it weren't for Charles, Peroz would probably not be sure of her father's condition for a long time. At the same time, Charles also saved her life and the lives of Finks Hogot on the previous Yevers Island.

As for putting all the responsibility for the current York Kingdom on Charles...

Peroz felt that Charles was responsible, but not too much.

The most fundamental reason why the Kingdom of York has entered its current strange situation is that Charles intervened to prevent a war between several countries. The root cause of the war lies in the black fire and the blessed fertile land.

Let’s talk about Blackfire first. Peroz did go to the Isle of Jevers to repay Charles’ kindness, but even if she didn’t go, Barbossa was about to break free from the curse on the Isle of Jevers.

At the same time, in one or two years at most, Finks will set sail again.

It seemed clear what would happen then.

Now that Charles is attracting attention, the world is mostly peaceful except for the Kingdom of York, but without him...

The appearance of black fire itself means turmoil. Perhaps with the demigod suppressing it, there will not be any major unrest.

But will it really not appear?

Peroz remembered why the Black Fire Age was created. When extraordinary people are forced into a corner, they can do anything. If one or two countries are destroyed, demigods may also be dragged into the battlefield.

By then, the tragedy of the Black Fire Age might be repeated.

As for the other trigger, the Thousand Miles of Fertile Land and the subsequent prevention of war...

In this respect, there is really no way Peroz can be seen as wrong.

At the same time, Peroz couldn't understand why Charles did this.

After all, doing so would not benefit him at all and would only completely expose him.

If the only crime he faced was releasing Blackfyre prematurely, then Charles could pat his chest and say that although he had changed history, he had done nothing wrong.

After seeing Barbossa and the Blackfyre seal, Ciel casually glanced at the future of the world. If he hadn't intervened, Barbossa would have returned here with Blackfyre in two years at most.

The Kit Kingdom, which once fell to the bottom, will rise again.

The mad Barbossa is no longer the pearl of the empire hundreds of years ago, but a madman with only obsession in his heart, even crazier than Floyd before.

Apart from the Kit Codex, the only thing left in the mad Barbossa's mind was Blackfire.

It was easy for Charles to deal with him because he was not fully promoted at that time, but he was not completely crazy either.

But if it were Barbossa who was driving the Jevils Island or the "Ark" a few years later, he would basically be one of the most powerful demigods.

His strength is slightly stronger than Reiner of the current Truth Society. Reiner alone is enough to make several secret organizations compromise, not to mention the stronger Barbossa.

However, because Barbossa was a madman, he would not accept their compromises. After more than a dozen ups and downs, and with half of the world's population reduced, some people finally made up their minds.

The Kit Kingdom completely disappeared, and Barbossa fell with the two demigods.

Of course, this incident wasn't entirely negative; there were also positive aspects. The massive death toll led to a shortage of labor. The Kit Kingdom Code spread throughout the world, following its rise and fall. Meanwhile, the demigods, fearing the resurgence of madmen like Barbossa, instructed their subordinate nations to improve the welfare of their people.

This caused a change that was essentially a change of name but not substance, and it was also a disguised way of promoting the awakening of people's consciousness - although in this world, this awakening would only bring pain.

Ordinary people are powerless to rewrite everything. Extraordinary people are "aristocrats" themselves. If you want to rewrite everything, you can only rely on extraordinary people. However, there may be extraordinary people who rebel against their own class for ordinary people, but they are definitely very rare.

Even if you hold this belief in the early stages, you will slowly rewrite it after achieving extraordinary success.

So, when Blackfyre appeared and the Kingdom of York was plunged into war, the Shire felt no burden at all.

They seemed to be fighting fiercely at the time, but it was nothing compared to what happened three years later when several countries went to hell because of the demigods behind them.

During the Five Gods Era, it was not allowed to rashly interfere in major events such as wars.

But if your intervention makes the future better, the church will not only not pursue it but will also commend you.

During that period, when certain major events occurred, the gods would even personally send down oracles to rewrite the future.

Agreements are agreements, but the final right of interpretation lies with the church.

Chapter 190 Chapter 70 Peroz: I am lame

In this era, Ciel seems to be having a lot of fun, but in reality, his behavior still does not deviate from the principles of his past as a high priest of the church.

It's just that the scale has been adjusted back slightly.

During the Age of the Five Gods, when the black fire was released, Charles would routinely issue warnings in the name of the church.

but...

During the Five Gods Era, it made no difference whether this warning was issued or not, because it was a rule that was expressly prohibited and no one dared to challenge it.

Now, it makes no difference whether this warning is issued or not, because no one will take it seriously.

"Are you going to tell your true identity?" As Charles was lamenting the difference between the present and the past, Peroz spoke again.

Ciel collected his thoughts, then smiled and nodded, "I know you don't trust me, so I want to deepen the trust between us."

"After all, misunderstandings can lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Peroz looked at Charles calmly, not believing what he said.

"If it's just like this, some things are unnecessary. Compared to our identities, there is actually no need for trust between us." Peroz said seriously.

One is from God (as Peroz himself thought), and the other is a Sequence 6 transcendent.

There really was no need for trust between them. Using what had happened before as leverage, if Charles wanted her to do something, he only had to give her an order.

"You are too self-deprecating."

"Besides, I'm different from others." As Charles spoke, he stood up and touched the symbol of the Earth Church on the table and chair in front of him.

"For someone like you who hasn't experienced the Five Gods Era, it's probably difficult to understand the Orthodox Church's attitude towards its fellows."

As he spoke, Ciel took off the mask on his face.

For the first time, Peroz saw Ciel's "true face" and memorized it in her mind - like Reiner, she enjoyed Ciel's customized package and saw the face of the person whose everything was replaced by Ciel.

"Hello, let's get to know each other again."

"Charle Rocks, High Priest of the Church of Earth and Plenty."

"Ms. Krolov, if you have any questions, feel free to ask." Charles said in an elegant and gentle tone.

For a moment, facing Charles who seemed to be ready to speak frankly, Peroz was a little flustered.

Although she knew that after coming here, Charles would definitely reveal something.

Maybe it's about his identity, or maybe it's about his purpose.

But Peroz hadn't expected Charles to be so... frank.

However, Peroz is not an indecisive person after all. Although she doesn't know what Charles is thinking, she will not give up since there is such an opportunity.

"Mr. Rocks, are you really the high priest recorded in history? Or is it just a similar name and identity?" Peroz's eyes were fixed on Charles's.

At the same time, she couldn't help but think of her good friend. She didn't expect that she would know two "Charles Rocks".

"There is only one Charles Rocks in the Church of the Earth." Charles nodded slightly.

"Why do you appear in this era?" Peroz believed Charles' answer for the time being. Although she thought that there was a high probability that Charles' identity was fake, it was better not to expose him directly, which was such an embarrassing act.

Now she has to rely on Charles to help his friends escape from the whirlpool.

"I don't know either. I fell into a deep sleep not long after I became the high priest, and only woke up from the church a year ago." Charles said half-truthfully.

Peroz became even more unsure about Charles' identity. After sleeping for such a long time, he could pretend not to know many of the things she asked him.

The Five Gods Era was too far away from the present, and she had no way to verify the lies she had made up.

So, Peroz temporarily put aside the questions about her identity and other matters, and then asked the question she wanted to ask the most, "Mr. Rocks, can you tell me why you are so kind to me?"

Ciel's behavior was really unlike the demigod she knew.

As a famous archaeological family, the Krolov family was also hired by a demigod.

Their attitude is basically to just throw in the money and ask them to do it in the name of orders.

For someone like Charles, paying first and then providing so much "after-sales service" is simply not what a god should do.

"For many reasons. First, I want to know the reason for my deep sleep and what happened after that. I also want to find out the whereabouts of other high-ranking members of the church."

"I think you have the ability to help me find the truth."

"At the same time, the Krolov family carries Judd's will and mission. I don't know what backup plans he has. But as a subordinate god of the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, I believe his outstanding descendants can bring me surprises."

"On the other hand, perhaps in the future we will become companions on the same front." As he spoke, Charles raised the key in his hand and signaled Peroz to open the door back to the secret room.

Looking at Charles who had left, Peroz was a little confused but still followed his instructions and returned to the secret room.

Then Peroz seemed to have seen something incredible—Char gently picked up the Holy Light.

You know, Shenghui is Judd's backup, and he has his last bit of power.

In front of ordinary people, Holy Light is almost non-existent.

Even some people who can sense the existence of Shenghui cannot pick him up.

After all, the essence of Holy Light is "light". Except for those who are recognized by the light, others who touch it will either be penetrated or burned.

But now, in Charles's hands, the light that burned like a flame was as warm as the sun. This was something that even Peroz himself could not achieve.

"Mr. Judd's hope for the Krolov family isn't just to find the Cloth and the Staircase, but also to have someone among his descendants inherit everything and fulfill his dream."

"One power from God is not enough, but two will surely do!"

"I believe you, Perozzi."

"You are the person Mr. Judd has been hoping for, the outstanding successor who can inherit everything from him!" Charles' expression was solemn and his tone was serious as he explained his "dream" to Peroz.

Charles' words, Shenghui's performance, and her investigation into the origin of her own bloodline and Jud Krolov after the Island of Yevers.

All these things came flooding back to Perozzi's mind - she was limping.

Vaguely, Peroz began to believe what Charles said.

After all, for the subordinate gods of the church, nothing is more important than restoring the glory of the Five Gods Era.

The mysterious man is already a god, but Judd before him was also a god.
