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

Every time he thought he was on top, something would come down on him.

When he was a wandering poet, the nobles and royal family were mountains; when he became a member of the church, the rules and gods were mountains; when he became a descendant of God with the fighting power of a true God, a terrible and unknown monster emerged from some history that he had never discovered.

I really hope that those dangers have been resolved by the gods.

Charles was looking forward to this. After all, if the disasters that caused the disappearance of gods above the gods from the entire world had been resolved, he could continue to enjoy his life leisurely.

Compared to fighting, Charles prefers a peaceful and comfortable life.

However, feeling his own strength and recalling the process of coming to this era, Charles knew that many things would never proceed according to his ideas.

After repairing, Charles and his group said goodbye to Pandora.

To be honest, I still feel a little reluctant to part with Pandora Charles.

After all, Pandora of the Valley of Existence is the most likable Pandora he has ever met, except for the City of Gluttony.

While thinking that the Pandora he might meet in the next city would be as understanding as the Pandora in the Valley of Existence, Charles summoned Morin, who had been forgotten by him for a long time, from the City of Knowledge.

At this moment, Morin still had a gentle smile on his face. He didn't seem to feel any resentment for Charles's abandonment, nor did he feel sad for Floyd's death.

"Do you want to go back?" Charles summoned the repaired carriage and said to Morin while helping Peroz and Theresa into the carriage like a gentleman.

Morin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Compared to things that have already produced results... I still look forward to the fun of the unknown."

"But... I still want to know who... is gone." He felt that an important person beside him had passed away, but he couldn't be sure who that person was.

The smile on Morin's face never disappeared, but his tone was not as calm as he appeared.

"Floyce," Charles said calmly, "died in Fort Nassen while trying to resolve a disaster that affected the entire Kingdom of York."

"Like a hero?" Morin's expression became a little tense.

"Although I knew about this a long time ago... I never thought he would leave so early..."

Morin is a very smart man. He can perceive the changes in the mood of people around him.

Floys's change was the greatest of his friends.

He is very interested in the root cause of the other person's change.

Therefore, the changes in Floyds were investigated retrospectively.

Morin had been pessimistic about his future very early on, but he didn't expect that this day would come so early.

"People like us cannot have too high moral qualities." Morin seemed to be talking to Charles, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

"We have never been good people. Even what I did would be punishable by more than a hundred years in prison regardless of the laws of any country."

"Crazy Brother's behavior would be punishable by death in any country."

"However, for high-level transcendents, unless they are stronger than them, only they themselves can kill them."

Secular laws are almost meaningless to high-level transcendents.

Even a madman like Floyds could be instantly pardoned for his crimes as long as he swore an oath to serve a country.

In order to win him over, those countries might even provide some people for him to kill for fun.

The number could be in the thousands, or even tens of thousands.

People are just numbers to them.

"Crazy Brother has become a good man and has turned over a new leaf, but what happened to him is an objective fact."

"The purer his heart is, the easier it is for his past to affect him."

"Guilt will slowly eat away at him."

"Brother Floys isn't a fragile person...so he won't be defeated by this kind of guilt and die silently, but...if given the chance, he will make his own choice, just like he is now..."

Maureen didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He lost an important friend, or sometimes a family member.

But the other person's death is a choice made by the other person himself.

Any pity and sorrow for him is a blasphemy to his enlightenment.

Looking at Morin's clenched fists and slightly trembling body, Charles nodded, "This is indeed his choice."

"I wanted to ask him to continue protecting Mernadè, but he refused."

"That kind of life might be a very heavy burden for him."

Maureen nodded and stopped talking.

"After this expedition, you and Arthur will leave," Charles added. "You are staying at Rocks Manor because of Floys' request."

"Now that he's gone, this agreement is void."

Faced with the choice given to him by Charles, Morin shook his head and said, "I promised Crazy Brother that I would protect her for the rest of my life."

"Some things never disappear with death." Maureen is a person who likes freedom and likes to run around looking for interesting things.

He didn't like being bound, and wouldn't even keep promises—God knows how many vows he had made that he hadn't kept before coming to Rocks Manor.

But this time he was willing to confine his future to a small world.

Maybe this kind of life is not bad?

The image of Floyd appeared in Morin's mind.

In that small world, Brother Floys must have been enjoying a happy time.

He may not be able to be like Brother Floys.

But as long as he stays here, perhaps many things that will attract him will happen.

After all... both Charles and Melnadette are very "tempting" to him.

The secrets they hold are worth spending his entire life pursuing.

"Don't make a decision too soon. Go back and discuss it with others."

Morin wanted to say something, but Charles waved his hand. "This is a decision that will affect your entire life. Don't be hasty."

Morin nodded. Decisions that affect one's entire life do require careful consideration.

But that's for others.

For him...the word "prudent" often does not exist.

Moroston, Kingdom of York.

The curse of greed was solved by Floyds, but the damage and impact it caused could not be eliminated so easily.

After Ron's death and the spread of the story about Castle Nason, it didn't take long for the York family to completely withdraw from the political stage of the Kingdom of York.

In fact, if it were not for the protection of the old nobles headed by the Severus family, the York family would probably have been extinct by now.

After all, in Ron and Victor's plan, apart from those who couldn't survive the temptation screening, those outsiders were the targets Ron wanted to hunt most.

In his heart, if it weren't for them, the York family would never have lost everything so quickly.

So during the transformation of the greed curse, before Floyds dealt with him, a small number of foreign supernatural beings had already been quietly dealt with by him.

Those extraordinary people have their own sects and their own companions.

After Ron took the lead in breaking the "rules", the York family was no longer protected by the rules.

At the same time, because of the solution to the curse problem, Mernadè and her York Kingdom Farmers and Workers Mutual Aid Federation were exposed directly under the noses of major forces without any preparation.

Some people had good intentions towards her. After all, Mernadè's actions helped them get revenge, or allowed them to break free from the curse before being assimilated.

But there are more people who are hostile to her.

The ideas and actions of the mutual aid group made some people see a threat, or some people saw Taylor, Reiner, and some "crazy people" they did not agree with in her.

For them, anyone who spreads such ideas that harm their interests is an enemy.

Extraordinary people should be high and mighty.

equality?

They went through so much trouble to become extraordinary people not for some bullshit equality!

Under the constraints of inherent rules, they will not openly take action against the mutual aid association.

But it is possible to add fuel to the fire in some things.

After Ron's death, everything he did could be easily detected by the extraordinary people.

Especially since Floyd, who ended his life, also chose to die. Most of the details of that battle were quickly discovered and spread by the power of the extraordinary.

Therefore, in the extraordinary world, everyone knows that it was the Mutual Aid Association that solved this trouble.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, some things are wrong.

Ron, the new King of York, is also a person who advocates the implementation of a high welfare system. In the hearts of most people, he is a sage monarch.

Floyds, a madman and a pervert, his legend has been circulating among ordinary people for a long time, and in the royal city of the Kingdom of York, it can even stop children from crying.

Floyds killed Ron. Without knowing the details, how would ordinary people view this news?

Especially after Ron's death, when all the extraordinary people knew the medium of his ability and the plans he implemented, the welfare system he promoted was quickly cancelled, and even many of the original welfare systems were closed.

Some bad remarks against Mernade and the Mutual Aid Society appeared in the Kingdom of York and quickly spread among ordinary people.

In order to win votes but unwilling to pay the price, Mernadette and her mutual aid society killed the wise monarch, forced the abolition of the welfare system, and then tried to deceive them by posing as saviors.

Rumors began to spread, and the members of the mutual aid society were forced to go underground before they even had time to express their grief over Floyd's death.

Even under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the headquarters of the mutual aid association, the welfare home that brought Mernade countless beautiful memories, was attacked and eventually burned down.

Most people don't want to know the real truth; they only trust their own judgment. Or, in other words, they just want to vent their inner anger.

Chapter 314: Choice and Commitment

Quantity is justice.

When the number of people who exclude Mernadè and her mutual aid group reaches a certain level, everything Mernadè and her group do will be wrong.

Even if someone saw what she did, even if someone wanted to speak for her, they would be gradually drowned out by the crowd.

Mernadé and the others kept explaining and trying to prove themselves, but it was all in vain.

When people gather in groups, they become less good at thinking but act quickly.

It is also ironic that the orphanage at Mernade was burned down and the York Kingdom Farmers and Workers Mutual Aid Union station was uprooted, but Rocks Manor was not affected.

Many people know that Mernadè's home is here, but it has not been affected much.

People consciously ignore this place.

Initially, this place also suffered a shock, but it was different from the way Mernade and the others kept explaining their speeches.

Arthur, who guards the manor, is not in a good mood, especially after the death of his best friend.

No matter how many people attack here, he will kill them without mercy.

Charles was a member of Parliament for the Kingdom of York, and the manor and the surrounding land were his sacred and inviolable property.

Therefore, no matter how many people Arthur killed who attacked here, his actions were reasonable and legal.

So many people were killed that even though some people knew that Mernadè's home was here, and even though they knew that some of the people they were clamoring to send to the gallows were hiding here, they pretended not to see it.

Mernadette and the others would not attack ordinary people. Even Antilia, who always had a bad temper, forced herself to suppress her grief and not use her own strength in this incident.

So they were identified as easy targets by others, so the welfare home was burned down, and so more than a dozen members died in the conflict.

But after Arthur, who would not tolerate them, took action, those people felt fear in their hearts.

After all, no matter how much they insult and attack Mernadette, they will not be attacked.

But Rocks Manor is different.

Thus, the two were separated by those who besieged the members of the mutual aid society.

No one will care about the members of the mutual aid society and Mernade who stay in Rocks Manor.

But when they appear outside the manor, they become targets of attack.
