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

creak-

A voice came into Peroz's ears. She restrained some of her emotions and looked towards the stairs.

A moment later, an old figure appeared in front of Peroz.

He first glanced at Peroz, then sat quietly in a corner, took out an oil lamp-like Horcrux, looked around and drew something.

Peroz hesitated and walked over.

"Hello, are you someone who participated in the construction of this tower?"

The other party did not answer, but just calculated on the white paper under the light.

Peroz leaned over to take a look and saw what appeared to be an unfinished design for the tower continuing upwards.

In this place, a 20,000-meter-high tower was built using only wood, soil, and green wheat. Even with the support of some extraordinary items, the height here almost reached the peak.

It is also for this reason that many people commit suicide in despair.

But some people don't seem to give up completely.

Just like the old man in front of her.

Peroz had many questions he wanted to ask the other party, but seeing how serious and focused he was, Peroz didn't disturb him. He just left some food in front of him and quietly went down the tower.

At this time, light had reappeared in this world, but Peroz felt a little heavy.

For the first time, she had the urge to break out of the prison before her.

After that, she did not continue to look for the place Salieri mentioned above, but jumped off the cliff and landed smoothly with the help of the Feather Fall Ring.

In the open space, Hesper could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

After Peroz fell, Hogot's figure also walked out of the woods.

"Teacher." Peroz and Hogot greeted.

Huogot nodded. "So, what did you gain up there?"

Peroz opened his mouth, then sighed, "It's not really a gain, but I just discovered something remarkable."

Under Hogot's curious gaze, Peroz told him everything he had discovered above.

"The seabed and the Tower of Babel?" Hogot's tone was a little complicated.

"It's just a futile effort. They probably gave up hope a long time ago."

"The disparity between line of sight and actual distance is too great. This is a spatial ability. With this ability, even if the tower rises another 10,000 or 20,000 meters, it will be completely useless... As long as this rule is not broken, everything else will be in vain."

That's a rule-like ability, an unreasonable ability. If those builders were high-level transcendents or demigods, perhaps they could break that restriction.

But as an ordinary person, it is absolutely impossible to break through this limit by only using the method of building a high tower.

"They probably don't want to sit and wait for death, or rather, they don't want to waste their lives meaninglessly here." Peroz also felt a little emotional, and then she stopped talking about this topic. "Teacher, how about you here?"

"Did you run into any trouble tonight?"

Hogot shook his head. "It's calm, and no one's approaching here."

“But it’s not completely fruitless.”

Peroz was startled and then looked at Hogot.

"This was discovered by Hespel." Hogot's expression was a little subtle. Then, in Peroz's strange gaze, Hogot woke Hespel up, and then led them to walk forward along the edge of the mountain wall.

After a moment, Hogot stopped. Looking at the scene before him, the corners of Peroz's mouth twitched slightly.

This is a zigzag stone staircase carved out of the cliff.

Although you can't see the end at a glance, it is certain that the final destination of this stone staircase is the top of the mountain.

"Salieri didn't tell me about the stone stairs here." Peroz said with a gritted teeth.

Although climbing the mountain wall was not a difficult task for her, she was not the kind of person who would not take the stone steps but would rather climb the rocks.

"Shall we go up the stone steps together to take a look, or should we rest here first?" Hogot looked at Peroz with some amusement.

Peroz thought about it, took out a tent from his small bag and set it up.

"Teacher, I need to rest for a while."

Whether climbing the cliff or the tall tower, Peroz consumed a lot of physical strength. Even with the help of some Horcruxes, she was a little tired both mentally and physically.

Hogot nodded and took out a tent from his bag. "After you wake up, I'll probably need a nap too."

After losing his extraordinary powers, staying awake all night was also a test for Hogot.

Another day passed.

After the three of them had rested enough, they began to walk up the stone stairs.

A few hours later, Peroz reached the summit again.

But the feeling this time is completely different from before.

Not only mentally, the scenery she saw was completely different from the scenery she had seen before she climbed up.

At this time, there is a built road on the stairs.

After walking a few dozen meters along the road, Peroz and his friends saw something that looked like a road sign.

At the road sign, the road is divided into more than a dozen roads, and there is a new road sign on each road.

The content on the road signs is similar.

Tomb of xxx.

-

Chapter 352: Reiner and Mernade

Each road led to the tomb of someone familiar to Peroz and Hogot.

These tombs are not fake places created by Charles, but real places.

These tombs were not originally built here, but somewhere else. However, in order to let Peroz have fun, Charles specially moved some real places suitable for exploration that existed in other places here.

The same was true of the tower that reached the sky.

These things actually existed in other places. Some of them still existed before being moved, but some of them had slowly collapsed with the passage of time and were dragged here from time by Charles before they completely collapsed.

"Let's go back." Peroz's eyes lingered on these road signs for a long time, then he turned and said to Hogot and Hesper.

"Don't you want to go and take a look?" Hogot looked at some road signs in front of him and felt a little dry in the mouth.

If the information above is true, then as long as he excavates a few tombs and takes out the things inside, his name will be known throughout the continent.

The honor and fame he has always dreamed of will follow.

"No... I want to go find Salieri again."

"Compared to them staying here to prepare a place to return the traces of their existence, I would rather go and ask them in person."

"Compared to what happened in the distant past outside, I'm more interested in knowing what happened here."

Peroz tucked his hair and smiled brightly.

After seeing the tall tower and the signpost erected here, Peroz gave up his original purpose of coming here.

At this moment, she wanted to know more about what had happened in this place and who had built this cage.

Does she have the ability to break out of this cage? At the same time, does she really want to break out of this cage?

Many new goals and doubts appeared in her mind.

But when I think of the old man on the top of the tower who was carefully designing the higher floors of the tower, and look at these signposts that he had cast for his own afterlife destination out of despair.

Peroz seemed to be able to intuitively feel the despair here.

An idea came into her mind to break the despair.

She will try her best to do everything in her power to break everything. If it really doesn't work, she still has Charles.

Gentleness and kindness are excellent and beautiful qualities.

They seem ordinary, but in reality few people can really do them.

Charles likes to be with people like this.

But sometimes being too gentle and kind is a bad thing.

Especially when the power she wields grows stronger.

If we cannot see through people's hearts, perhaps this gentleness and kindness will become a sharp blade that hurts others, and it may also make the originally beautiful future become bumpy.

It's like the Church of the Five Gods that has lost its five gods.

At this moment, Peroz possessed the self-mirror of Nieber Ross and the holy light of Judd Krolov. As if it were fate, she had already forged her own destiny when she intertwined with him, or perhaps even before their fates intertwined.

In the future, she might become a subordinate god, or even a more powerful or great being.

Therefore, Charles hopes that she can retain this gentleness and kindness, while also being able to remain vigilant at all times and have insight into human nature.

This is not just a game to hold her back, it is a test.

Regardless of success or failure in the trial, Charles' love for her will not change.

If the trial fails, then Charles will help Peroz shoulder the destiny she will have to bear in the future.

Before she changed, her fate would remain the same as before, and she would just need to be an unrestrained and free explorer.

If the trial is successful, greater responsibilities will be placed on her shoulders.

Moroston Royal Academy.

"Rocks, I always feel that you are acting weird lately." Sif looked at Charles who was carrying her bag beside her with a subtle expression.

"Strange? Where?" Charles spread his hands innocently.

"You've never been so gentlemanly before."

Sif and Charles had gone shopping together before, but during those times, Charles never helped her carry her bag.

Or to say that apart from Mernadette, Charles' attitude towards them was a bit "bad" and vicious.

But recently...

Charles had become somewhat unfamiliar to her.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. After all~~" Charles looked at Sif with a smile.

"Can you be a little more normal?" Sif said, holding her forehead.

"You are my sister, so of course I have to take good care of you." Charles said with a relaxed expression.

"I'm the older sister, and... I don't think siblings or siblings in ordinary families would be like this."

"You look like some of the male lecturers in the academy who wanted to pursue me."

Ordinary brothers and sisters...

Except for a very small number of brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other, most of the interactions between them are very casual and...the relationship between the two sides is not as good as imagined.

In some families, there may be a small quarrel every three days and a big fight every five days.

This is a family with relatively harmonious family relationships. If the original family environment were worse, it would not be uncommon for brothers to become enemies.

"You are a little too sensitive." Although Sif's words hit the nail on the head for Charles's dirty heart, he appeared extremely calm on the outside.

"Maybe... But compared to now, I like you better before."

"Although we are just ordinary friends, you were very casual when you were with me. Unlike now, I always feel that your behavior is a bit fake." Sif said as they walked.

Charles stuffed the lesson plan in his hand into Sif's hand with an expressionless face.

"You're such a weird guy... I wanted to treat you better, but you didn't know how to cherish it and instead wanted me to be like before."

"Are you the legendary masochist?"

As he spoke, Charles reached out and pinched Sif's cheek.

Sif said while struggling, "Although I just finished complaining about you, you've changed so quickly. You were so gentle and gentleman before, but now you've become so extreme!"

"You're really hard to understand. Being gentle isn't good, and being naughty isn't good either, woman~"

Charles looked helpless.
