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

"Killing is not something to be proud of, but at some point, if you don't kill people, they will kill you."

"You can still choose to leave now, and I won't make things difficult for you. But if you choose to stay, you will have to accept all the tasks I assign to you from now on."

Peroz's body was trembling slightly, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

But after a long silence, she finally nodded and said, "I'll stay."

Finks' laughter became louder, but the sound was somewhat desolate.

While Peroz was trying hard to overcome his inner self and accept Finks's teachings, Charles' life seemed a bit leisurely.

From teaching assistant to lecturer, it’s only one step forward.

But the salary and even the work are much less.

Teaching assistants not only need to help lecturers organize courseware, but also need to do some errands for lecturers. At the same time, some miscellaneous work in the college is also done by teaching assistants.

But after becoming a lecturer, you only need to teach classes every week.

The courses "Introduction to Mississippian Writing" and "Text and Mystery" that Xiaer is in charge of are not professional courses.

Therefore, for the two courses combined, Charles only needs to teach four classes at school every week.

Each class lasts between forty and fifty minutes, so you only need to work three or four hours a week.

Comparing this to the income of other people of this era, Charles deeply felt that it was not only knowledge that could change one's destiny, but also one's name...

In theory, the lecturer's time is completely free except for the teaching time and a few times after the teaching time when waiting for students to ask questions.

But most of the time, Charles still likes to stay in school.

It's not that he wants to play his role, but he feels that staying in school is much more interesting than staying at home and wandering around.

The library's collection of books, the delicious food in the school cafeteria, the afternoon tea and desserts in the office. Occasionally, I would listen to Endsworth talk about how people in this era think of themselves, then complain in my heart, and in the evening, I would go to the City of Eternal Night with him or alone.

This life is simply too fulfilling.

Section 31 Chapter 31 "Treasure" and Leisurely Life

Lecturer's office in the Department of Ancient Languages.

Charles Rocks was leaning leisurely in a chair, drinking afternoon tea and reading a book.

"Locks, have you finished reading 'Travels in the Kurse Empire'?" a voice sounded in his ears.

Charles didn't say anything, just raised the book in his hand.

"Why do I always feel like I'm having a conflict with you lately? Can't you go a little faster or slower?" the man complained.

Ciel slowly sat up straight, glanced at the girl who was complaining to him, and stretched.

"I should be the one saying this to you, Mr. Leopold."

Sif Leopold, Charles' colleague, is one year older than Charles and is 25 years old this year.

With her golden hair, delicate facial features and perfect figure, she has many suitors in the academy.

No, I should say there were quite a few.

About a year ago, not long after Charles joined the company, something happened at the Royal Academy of Moroston that shocked the entire school.

Charles was not quite sure of the specific reason, he only knew roughly that Sif had turned a man into a neutral person with one kick, the kind that was difficult to restore even with potions.

However, although Charles had never calculated or inquired about it, he had a general understanding of the reason due to rumors. It was nothing more than that he was drunk and had a lustful mind and met a girl with a more violent personality.

Because of the other party's extraordinary status, the relationship between the college and the House of Lords or the House of Peers was very tense for a period of time.

"A few days ago, when I borrowed The Rise of Lordendon, I had a conflict with you, Teacher Sif. Now, I have another conflict with you about Travels in the Kurse Empire. Teacher Leopold, you don't have any thoughts about me, do you?"

"To you?" Sif glanced at Ciel, then said with a smile, "The last person who said that is still at the school gate, thinking about how to kill me."

Although the matter was suppressed, the other party's desire to take revenge on Sif has not stopped. If Sif dares to leave the academy, she will probably face the danger of revenge.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, the former flower of the college has now become a plague god. Except for some associate professors who don't care about the Mitt family, most lecturers and teaching assistants keep their distance from Sif.

Although the probability is very small, it is not a good thing to be implicated because of a piece of meat that cannot be eaten.

"Forget it. I'm thinking of going to the City of Eternal Night a few more times with Professor Endsworth." Charles said as he closed the book, put it on the table and pushed it next to her.

"You've changed so much. When you first started working, you would blush whenever this kind of topic was brought up, but now..." Sif looked at him speechlessly.

"Men always have to grow up." Charles picked up the tea, took a sip, and then narrowed his eyes.

"Be careful, you might end up like Professor Endsworth, single for the rest of your life." Sif complained.

"Well...if Professor Endsworth wants to get married, he can easily find several young, beautiful and prestigious ladies." Although Endsworth is almost a hundred years old, for the Sequence 5 transcendents, their lives have just begun.

The reason why he kept his current somewhat old face was simply because he felt that it looked more in line with the image of a professor and could better exude his charm as a man - this was something Charles had never understood.

"So Professor Endsworth can easily find many wives, but you can't. If you give all your salary to the City of Eternal Night, it will be difficult to maintain a decent life."

Charles smiled at her words and said, "I haven't thought about entering the upper class and becoming a respectable person. Besides, my financial situation is not as tight as you think."

"Do you remember that I went out with Professor Endsworth a couple of weeks ago?"

"Of course I remember. I was thinking of going out for some fresh air with the professor," she said with a sigh.

If she went out alone, she would definitely be retaliated against, but it would be different if she followed the professors and associate professors who went out to work.

"That's a bit strange, but generally speaking, Professor Endsworth wouldn't refuse me unless it was something dangerous."

Facing Sif's curious gaze, Ciel did not hide anything. "I found some clues in 'The Rise of Lordenton' before, and then combined them with 'A Brief History of Lordenton', 'A Century of Epics', and 'Tondenton' to find something that can prove that clue."

"Did you dig up the treasure?" In an instant, Sif became interested and came to Charles curiously.

"The secret treasure of a small noble family in Lordanton." Charles said with some pride.

"Then you must have become rich?" Sif said with some envy.

"Well... at least it's enough for a few decades of work." Charles said happily.

He didn't think about hiding this matter. After all, he would not let himself down in many things in the future.

As for the troubles caused by people being jealous of his finances, he didn't care. The secret room only contained some gold, silver, treasures and cultural relics, which would not attract trouble.

At the same time, the leader of this operation is Professor Endsworth, and recently because he often goes with Endsworth... their relationship has made sufficient progress, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is almost the same as Endsworth's disciple.

For such a sum of money, no ordinary extraordinary person or gang would do such a thing, no matter how stupid they are.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that some people may be blinded by greed and fail to see the situation clearly.

But Charles just enjoys the fun of playing the role and is not really a weakling. Even if there is such a person, Charles can send him away from this world quickly and quietly.

"There is a golden house in the book. The high priest never lied to me." Sif said with some emotion.

"So, you don't have to worry about my decent life. I have already built a manor for Professor Tonsworth outside his manor and residence. It will be almost completed by the end of the year. I can invite you to visit it then."

"Thanks, but in my case..." Sif shook her head.

"Professor Endsworth will be there too," Ciel said with a smile.

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Even though you treat me like this, you will not take the position of student advisor and tutor next semester." Sif said seriously.

"No, Mr. Leopold, don't you want to earn some extra money? There is extra salary for holding these positions." Charles said seriously.

"Guess how much of my salary I spent this year?" Sif said with a smile.

For a moment, Charles was speechless.

-

Section 32 Chapter 32 Girl, do you know what you have missed?

Positions like student advisors and tutors are similar to counselors and class teachers in Shire's previous university career.

Student advisors are mainly responsible for managing daily life, while tutors are responsible for academic studies.

Generally these positions are held by teaching assistants in the college.

However, at a meeting at the Royal Academy of Moroston, a teacher felt that doing so was disrespectful to the students.

So this position was taken up by the lecturer.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with respecting students or not. It is just a subsidy provided by the old professor to some teachers whose families are in financial difficulty.

Those who serve as both tutors and student advisors can increase their weekly salary by two pounds.

Positions like this in other departments need to be snatched up.

But the Department of Ancient Languages...

As some of the richest departments in the entire school, and given the generous remuneration for the private work of lecturers and associate professors here, ordinary lecturers basically look down on this little money.

After all, the work of tutors and student advisors is quite busy.

When you are busy, why not take on some translation commissions, or join an expedition team to visit the surrounding ruins?

So this kind of thing was forced to be assigned.

Currently, in the entire department, Charles and Sif have the lowest qualifications, so it is up to them to decide on this candidate.

Sif herself and the school can hardly leave the academy, and she might have to stay in the academy for the rest of her life. Although the Mitt family dares not make any moves openly under the pressure of the principal, they are confined to the academy.

Once she leaves the academy, given the severity of what she did, there will probably be countless hyenas following her scent to cause trouble for her.

After all, the Mitte family only promised that they would not take action, but if she had any "accident"...

Fortunately, the school provides each lecturer with a one-bedroom apartment, and distributes two sets of uniforms every quarter. In addition, meals and afternoon tea are provided, and the library is replenished with books every year. Sif, who is confined to the college, lives a very fulfilling life.

"Although you've made a fortune recently, don't underestimate the money you earn from your part-time jobs as a tutor and student advisor."

"As the high priest said, steady progress will last a long time." Sif said with a smile.

"...Teacher Leopold, when did you fall in love with the High Priest?" Having Endsworth alone was enough to give Ciel a headache, and now there's Sif...

Charles began to think about resigning.

"As a woman, I have an average impression of him, but Professor Endsworth likes him. Studying him more can give him more opportunities to go out." Sif shrugged.

"Actually, it's not just the high priest with the same name as you. I've also researched some history from other eras."

"In another seven years I'll consider applying for a position in Potions. I'll probably be a little more free by then."

Due to restrictions on the academic or civilian factions, those who want to become extraordinary people must first become lecturers. After becoming a lecturer, they need to work in the academy for ten years before they have a chance to obtain potions.

It doesn't sound difficult, but the college will not increase the teaching staff endlessly, so there is a job for every person.

It is a bit irregular for the Ancient Languages ​​Department to have two more full-time lecturers in three years.

In other words, Sif became a lecturer because a lecturer died while out on an expedition, and Charles became a lecturer completely through the back door, or directly occupied some of Endsworth's authority.

"Potion? I remember Professor Endsworth has a Thief's Path potion. You could try it." Ciel said casually, "A Sequence 9 Thief can give you a good agility boost. If you're being chased, you can use your reflexes and speed to escape back to school—assuming you're not too far from school."

"Actually, I'd rather follow the extraordinary path of the Church of the Goddess of Night. However, after the church's decline, the formulas and extraordinary properties of those potions are no longer circulated on the market."

The extraordinary properties of other churches are better, but the extraordinary potions of the Astrologer Sequence cannot be achieved by simple extraordinary properties.

The potion's formula contains a substance controlled by the church, a creation of the goddess' power.

Generally, the magic potions in every church contain more or less this ingredient. This power can effectively reduce the backlash of the magic potion and help the extraordinary people to smoothly control and organize their own power.

The Earth Church also has it, but that is something that only happens after reaching the advanced level.

After all, unlike the Astrologer's Path, the potions and supernatural properties of the Farmer's Path are relatively docile. Unless the person is too hopeless, there will basically be no problems in the low and medium sequences.

"If it's a transcendental path from another church, Professor Endsworth probably has it. But the astrologer..." Ciel shook his head. "Even if the professor has it, I doubt he'll let you use it."

"Just a thought~" Sif said with a smile.

"Would you like to consider it?" Charles said suddenly.

"What?" Sif looked at Charles strangely.

"You will serve as both a student advisor and mentor. As an agreement, if I find the astrologer's potion when I go out on adventures in the future, I will give it to you." Ciel said casually as he stood up to boil water.

Things that are very precious to people today seemed quite common in their time.

Although the Astrologer's Path is a potion unique to the Church of the Goddess of Night, there is no restriction on the circulation of low-level ones, and even mid-level ones can appear on the black market.

This is not just the case with the Church of the Goddess of Night, but with several other churches as well.
