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

But this time she turned sideways towards Charles.

"Tell me you didn't mean it." She lowered her voice and said viciously.

"Of course I didn't mean it!" Charles said innocently.

Peroz reached into Charles's bed and pinched him hard. "I knew you were awake! And if I hadn't seen the water stain on my chest, I wouldn't have believed you!" That water stain didn't look like it was from drooling. It looked more like he'd bitten something...

Ciel smiled awkwardly, "I really didn't mean to do that. I slept very soundly last night because I was about to receive the gift from the City of Knowledge. I have no idea what I did."

"Besides, I sleep very well. If you don't believe me, just look at my position. It hasn't changed much."

"When I wake up in the morning, you'll be on top of me, okay?" Charles cried out in injustice.

This statement was true, and Peroz could not deny it.

But when she thought of the embarrassing scene just now, her face was still very angry.

"I sleep very well too!" Peroz swore that he slept very well.

As an explorer, she possesses an incredible instinct that allows her to fall asleep motionless in a small space.

Of course, most of the time when she was resting like that, she would remain alert and would wake up quickly at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Um...do you want me to trace back the time and see who is to blame for this incident?" he said weakly.

Peroz's gaze grew sharper.

Facing her gaze, Charles wanted to cover his mouth and turn back time - there was no way he would say that to a woman.

They don't care about the truth...

Charles was thinking about how to deal with him, but Peroz unexpectedly averted his gaze quickly. "Then take a look?"

Ciel blinked and looked at the other person. This should be her true inner thoughts... right?

He waved his hand, and then a screen as big as a mobile phone appeared between the two people's sight, quickly reviewing the time of last night.

At first, the two of them were very obedient when they slept.

Then... Theresa moved - yes, not Peroz or Charles, but Theresa.

Perhaps because she was used to sleeping in a big bed, Theresa was not used to sleeping in such a small space. She instinctively pushed Peroz towards Charles.

Peroz seemed a little impatient with being pushed by Theresa, and simply turned over.

Unfortunately, when she turned over, Teresa pushed her into Charles' bed...

The subsequent scenes were cut by Charles.

Although some of the beautiful dreams in the second half of the night were fake, he still did some things instinctively because of Peroz, the "meat" that was delivered to his mouth.

It was instinct, really—after all, it was normal for something to press against his mouth and force it open...

"I just said it was a coincidence, a misunderstanding."

"Peroz, you know me. I'm really not that kind of person." Seeing Peroz's expression soften, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.

"Professor Endsworth is more credible than you when he says this." She glanced at Charles and said seriously.

Charles felt deeply insulted.

Just when he was about to make some excuses, Theresa woke up. Seeing Peroz standing with his back to her and facing Charles, she stood up curiously and moved closer to the two of them.

"Are you all awake?"

The two were startled.

It was obvious that Theresa was the culprit of all this, but there was no doubt that none of them wanted Theresa to know what happened last night.

"Of course, you think everyone is a lazy pig like you." Charles said with a smile.

"I'm not lazy. I just dreamed about too many things last night, so I woke up late." Teresa rubbed her head in confusion.

She dreamed of many things last night.

Unlike Charles, Peroz and others, the two of them only received some memories from a certain point in the past.

But Teresa had worked hard for a long time last night learning some positions - really positions.

A set of peculiar dance poses.

Theresa couldn't remember what it was exactly, but the voice in her ear told her that it was a ritual to worship heaven and earth, and it needed to be used in conjunction with the proceeds of the expedition.

For Charles and Perozzi it was just one night, but for Theresa she felt like she had been dancing for a long time and her feet still hurt.

"Dreaming of too many things? Come to think of it, I also dreamed of a lot of things last night. What that guy said was right. They were all very useful to me." Charles said with some emotion.

Although he did not obtain anything more specific, at this moment, relics, Horcrux treasures and the like had no appeal to him at all.

The secrets of ancient times improved him even more.

These things allowed him to gain a more macroscopic understanding of some things in this world, and at the same time, those vague words also pointed out some directions for Charles.

"My gains may not be as great as yours, but it is still a good experience." Peroz also recalled his dream last night with a somewhat emotional expression.

She dreamed about the Krolov family's ancestor, Judd Krolov, and also dreamed about the birth of the Krolov family.

At the same time, she also knew why her family was looking for the stairs and the holy clothes.

[When darkness falls, the holy garments and the ladder will guide you to find new light.]

This is an oracle.

However, it was not the oracle before the five gods disappeared.

But it comes from a more ancient past.

This sentence was once recorded in the Book of Holy Words, but as the Book of Holy Words was constantly revised, it now only exists in the memories of some ancient demigods and subordinate gods.

Judd didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong, but he had no choice at the time.

Of course, he is not risking everything.

The Eternal Blazing Sun is not the Goddess of Night, and it is difficult for his power to interfere with future events.

But he has the power of "hope".

His light can help people find the best hope.

Since he left these words behind, there is no doubt that when the Eternal Blazing Sun Sect falls into darkness, the holy clothes and the ladder can really help them get out of the darkness and find new hope.

But Judd never found this hope.

So can I do it myself?

The image in Peroz's mind froze on the last frame.

A strangely dressed man stands in a rather retro town, gazing at the sun in the sky from morning to night.

She had a hunch that what she was looking for, clues about the holy clothes and the stairs, were among them.

But the question is, how should she break the deadlock?

Shadow Trails...

The figure stood under the sun, the changes in his shadow and the contrast of the surrounding light...

Vaguely, Peroz felt that he had grasped something.

She recalled carefully that at some point in the past, she seemed to have seen an article in which someone proposed to determine the specific location by shadow or something else.

Peroz's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly...

Will the secret that has troubled the Krolov family for countless years be revealed in my hands?

Her face flushed and her expression was a little excited. If she had not agreed to go on the final adventure with Theresa and Charles, she would have returned to the library to find relevant information and read it.

"I think Peroz is being modest. Judging from her appearance, she has gained more than us." Charles couldn't help but reach out and poke her flushed cheek and said to Theresa beside her.

"Yeah...it's much bigger than me anyway. After all, I just dance all night long." Teresa complained.

"Dancing? What kind of dance?" Charles asked curiously.

"Well... I'll show you how to dance in a few days, but I really don't want to dance these days." Theresa said with a bitter face.

Ciel nodded with a smile, then gently pinched her cheek.

After that, their foreheads and cheeks kept getting closer, and they directly stepped over Peroz who was sleeping between them and kissed him.

Looking at the two people above his head being intimate with each other without paying attention to others, Peroz suddenly felt that the gains he had just obtained were not so good.

"Can't you guys pay attention?" She couldn't help but speak loudly, and then prepared to push the two men away.

But before she could do anything, Ciel's hand fell on her mouth, as if he didn't want her voice to disturb them.

This really pissed Peroz off. She swore that next time she accompanied the two of them on a trip or adventure, she would be a puppy!

But when she thought of this, she was suddenly stunned.

This is indeed the first and last time I will go on an adventure with them.

Perhaps because Charles acted too familiar, she often overlooked some things and forgot her purpose this time.

Say goodbye to the past.

She came this time to say goodbye to the past.

Say goodbye to the past where you were constantly deceived by your close ones, and make a break with such "friends".

For a moment she felt sad.

As Peroz's thoughts drifted away, Charles and Theresa also stopped what they were doing.

Looking at Peroz who was under them and her wandering gaze, Theresa kissed her on the face with a "boo".

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Can I kiss you too?"

Peroz didn't react for a moment.

On the other side, Charles seemed a little distressed, "Do you need me to kiss you too?"

As he spoke, Charles leaned over with his head lowered.

"You dare!" the two men shouted at the same time, and then they picked up pillows and beat Charles so hard that he ran away in panic.

Looking at Charles' sad and angry eyes, many of her thoughts were swept away.

This is a lament to be considered later. Now all we need to do is happily enjoy the last part of the journey.

"Hmph! If I find you trying to take advantage of Peroz again, I won't be polite."

"How are you going to be so rude~"

"Well...I won't let you kiss me for days."

"Then I'll go and kiss Perozzi."

"You...I'm going to bite you to death!"

Peroz couldn't help laughing at Teresa's aggressive behavior. He then gave her some serious advice, "This won't intimidate him, but it's the right direction."

Theresa looked confused.

"Well... first you have to separate the word, and then suddenly put it together when he is happy about being "separated"... This will definitely be a huge shock to him." Peroz looked at Charles with a smile and his eyes kept moving downwards.

I didn’t expect you to be like this, Peroz!

Ciel looked at him with horror.

She looks so pure and beautiful, how could she make such a vicious suggestion?

"Why are you looking at me like that? As an explorer, I've been to many places and I understand the meaning of many things."

When she went to Jevers Island, Peroz was still a pure young flower, but after returning from there, she was already a seasoned driver - at least in terms of her words. She could come up with all kinds of dirty jokes and some things at will.

"I always feel that the image of you in my heart has collapsed a little."

"Before, it was mainly to maintain the image of an idol, but now that you don't have to, you feel like it's collapsed." She had some special thoughts about the former Charles.

After all, Charles's performance towards her made her want to perform more perfectly.

but now...

It's still easier to get along this way.

"What are you talking about?" Looking at the two people playing dumb, Theresa was a little unhappy.

"It's not a good topic, but sooner or later you will understand~" Peroz raised his eyebrows and said ambiguously to Theresa.
