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

Strictly speaking, Rocks did her a favor, whether it was retrieving her father's body, rescuing her on the Island of Yevils, or even lending her the key to the Void Palace.

But Peroz found it really hard to trust the other party.

He is too mysterious.

For a long time she didn't even know the other person's appearance or name.

Moreover, his name and self-proclaimed identity also made Peroz feel that he was deceiving her.

The Church of Earth only has one high priest named Charles Rocks?

People who were declared missing by the church during the Five Gods Era suddenly appeared in this era. Even in this extraordinary world where anything can happen, this is too absurd.

Moreover, after several times when she unconsciously probed him with words, the mysterious man behaved like a person who only knew how to read a "textbook" to introduce everything about the period he lived in.

Even some of the content in the "textbooks" about that era were fabricated later, but he chatted with her as if it had really happened.

A liar who is full of lies.

Even the face he presented to himself might be fake.

Peroz was very grateful to the mysterious man and was willing to help him with many things, but this did not conflict with her disbelief in anything he said.

And if Ciel was connected to the mysterious man with the same name as him, then his deception of himself seemed understandable.

They are all liars!

"I want to know." After Peroz finished speaking, Theresa said seriously.

"I want to know everything that happened between you and that mysterious man."

"But..." Facing Theresa's gaze, Peroz frowned.

"Teresa, if you didn't know about these things and you were of no use to him, then he wouldn't have set his sights on you."

"But when you know something, misfortune may happen."

There are many such things in the extraordinary world, and knowing some things and not knowing them are two different things.

Ignorance is bliss, which can be said to be a law in the extraordinary world in a sense.

"Even so, I still want to know."

"Because I want to know what made you, Peroz, see Rocks in the worst light. Rocks may have hidden something from you, but I believe he didn't do it intentionally."

"Besides, even if they are friends, it's normal for them to have some little secrets between them. I don't believe that you, Perozzi, will tell Rocks everything about yourself."

"Will you tell Rocks how many treasures you have hidden in your home and the core secrets of your family?"

"If he asks..." Peroz said in a low tone.

Before she knew everything, if Ciel asked her about something like that, she wouldn't hide it.

"Then I believe Rocks is the same. If you ask him, Rocks will not hide anything you are interested in from you."

"Why are you unwilling to believe him, unwilling to question him, and want to use what you so-called saw with your own eyes to deny everything he said?"

"Perozzi, did Rocks gain any benefit from you during your relationship with him? Did he have any intentions towards you? Did he do anything to hurt you?"

"Aren't you and him good friends?"

"So, tell me about the mysterious man you mentioned. I want to know why you would resist Rocks so much and even deny everything he did because of something that seems insignificant to me."

Perozzi's words and expression made Theresa explode.

Indeed, Peroz was a very good friend of hers and also a very good friend of Charles.

So Theresa never wanted to make the relationship between the two awkward, so she kept relying on Peroz's ideas from various angles to prove that Charles was not as hateful as Peroz imagined.

From that perspective, Sif can explain almost all the changes that have taken place in Ciel, and can also explain why he is extraordinary and has such great power.

But Peroz's attitude made her feel a little angry.

It was clearly a very convincing explanation, but she was unwilling to believe it and stubbornly rejected Charles.

When asked about the reason again, she made excuses and concealed the truth with various reasons.

Because of her matter, both Sif and herself told the secrets in their hearts.

But what about Peroz?

At this time, he still wanted to hide it.

Theresa felt angry.

Faced with Theresa's sudden outburst, Peroz fell silent.

She also knew that her ambiguous words just now were too much.

but..

Peroz really didn't want them to get involved in the affairs between him and that mysterious man.

There was a mixture of truth and falsehood in the mysterious man's words, and sometimes even she herself couldn't tell the difference. He had said many times that he regarded her as an important companion.

But more often than not, we deceive ourselves.

He can hold the Holy Light, but he is full of lies.

Before seeing the real him, Peroz didn't want anyone around him to be touched by him or to touch him.

This is a very dangerous thing.

"It's dangerous." Peroz's eyes fell on Theresa.

"Not only you, but perhaps the Severus family, your brothers, sisters, and parents will also be in danger because of something."

"Even in this situation, do you still want to know?"

Theresa was stuck.

If it was her, she wouldn't mind, but the family...

She fell silent for a moment.

"What about me?" Sif interrupted.

"You...?" Peroz's tone was a little confused.

"I'm alone and I'm not afraid of anything."

"This matter actually has little to do with you...there is no need for you to get involved." Peroz said seriously.

Theresa beside her also nodded.

"It wasn't big originally, but now..." Thinking of her "complicated" relationship with Charles, Sif's mood became a little fluctuating.

So naturally she wanted to know more about him.

"Teresa, please go out for a while. I remember you should have the key to Rocks' dormitory. After Peroz explains the matter of that person, I will make a judgment and tell you the result." Sif turned her head and said to Teresa.

But her words made Theresa make up her mind.

"Let me listen to it too."

"I won't tell the rest of the family about the mysterious man you mentioned. If one day in the future my knowledge of this affects the family, I will end my life before the family is threatened."

"Just like Peroz, you only believe what you see, I only believe in my own judgment."

"So...Leopold, you should stay away from this matter."

"Please...this matter has something to do with me as well, okay? Rocks is my brother." Sif complained speechlessly.

"Isn't he your brother?" Theresa asked casually.

"I think Rocks must be lying about this. If he and I are really relatives, he must have an older sister, and it definitely can't be a younger sister." Sif said seriously.

"But during your relationship, it's obvious that you are more like a younger sister to Rocks~" Peroz said with a smile. Perhaps she figured something out, her expression was no longer so serious and sad, and she was joking with Sif.

"Who said that!" Sif was obviously unconvinced.

Peroz didn't answer her. Instead, he sighed and asked seriously, "Are you sure you want me to tell you everything I know?"

"Even though I already know the answer, I still want to ask again."

They both smiled and nodded at the same time.

"If one day I really die because of this, you two will be with me on the road. Think about it, this is the second time we've experienced life and death together."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Peroz made himself a cup of tea and began to recall everything he had experienced with the mysterious man, who claimed to be the high priest of the Church of the Earth.

"That was over a year ago. At that time, I hadn't confirmed any news about my father, and I wasn't even a Transcendent yet..."

Chapter 271 Chapter 151 I'm not sleepy anymore if you say this~

Peroz spoke in a calm tone about his interactions with the mysterious man "Charles Rocks".

From helping her find her father's body at the beginning, to rescuing her on the Jevers Island, and then suddenly appearing to give her the key to the Void Palace, and talking to her "frankly" about many things.

Peroz told everything about the mysterious man, no matter how big or small.

Watching the two lost in thought, Peroz felt a long-overdue sense of relief. Keeping a secret for too long can be a terrible experience.

"It sounds like... that person treats Peroz quite well." Perhaps because of the story Peroz told, or perhaps because of the name Charles Rocks, Theresa had a good impression of the mysterious man.

After all, in the story, the mysterious man has almost been helping Perozzi except for the initial exchange of letting her explore the Island of Yevils.

This is probably the difference in cognition between those who experience it and those who listen.

In Peroz's mind, the mysterious man "Charles Rocks" has always been an untrustworthy existence.

The origin of this realization was not that she discovered that the other party was full of lies.

It was because he was too mysterious. It seemed that as long as he wanted, the mysterious man could see everything he experienced, and he could also appear by his side at any time and anywhere.

This kind of thing is unbearable for anyone.

The mysterious man has done her a favor. Given Peroz's character, she is willing to give everything she has to complete the task assigned to her until she thinks she has repaid his kindness.

But at the same time, his secrecy, lack of self-respect and lies made it difficult for Peroz to have any positive feelings towards him, anything like trust.

"Maybe you're overthinking some things. Based on what you said, I don't think he's as bad as you say."

“There are many things that cannot be called lies.”

This is a kind of premonition.

After becoming an astrologer, Sif felt as if she had opened the door to a new world, and she had strange abilities in many things.

For example, distinguishing truth from falsehood, and identifying lies.

She can even tell the difference without the other person saying it in person, as long as someone tells her.

But she wasn't sure whether her ability was real or just an illusion.

After all, the Astrologer's path was only Sequence 9 and it was completely impossible for him to do what she did.

Not to mention Sequence 9, even higher levels would find it difficult to achieve this.

In Peroz's narration, the mysterious man was a liar who was full of lies, but with her special talent, she thought that the mysterious man did not deceive Peroz much.

Whether it's the original purpose, his name, or his identity...these all seem to be true.

"I don't want to doubt someone who has helped me, but his behavior is too inconsistent and too contradictory." Peroz could roughly understand why the two people had completely different ideas from her. She did not argue about this, but directly expressed her doubts.

"Initially, he came to me for Blackfire and our Krolov family's mission. He wanted to know clues about the holy clothes and the ladder."

"So at that time, I thought that the Black Fire was just a test for him to find me, and that the Cloth and the Ladder were perhaps the items that a being like him was pursuing."

"But for a long time afterwards, he never urged me to look for those things. Even when I was delayed for so long in Parasti, he didn't get angry. He even gave me the key to the Void Palace after returning this time."

"After handing me the key, he denied his original purpose, stating that he was caring for me in order to find companions and change the world together."

"Not to mention that this goal is too vague and lacks a program, always sounding like a slogan from a knight novel, there are too many flaws in his identity when he is open and honest."

"Although the Five Gods Era passed a long time ago, and although many things related to that period have been lost, some things have still been passed down."

"For example, as the high priest, he left many marks of himself in the world."

"It's understandable that he might have memory errors in other areas, but he could even make mistakes about himself, even about his own poems..."

If Charles could hear Peroz's analysis of himself, he would definitely smile like an old father.

Not easy.
