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

But she ignored all these places.

This is her biggest shortcoming.

It is difficult for her to actively doubt others.

"Mr. Men, in this place, can you exert some of your original power? Or are there some Horcruxes that can exert combat power?" Peroz asked.

After discovering the suspicious points about Salieri, Peroz thought of Hogot, who was alone in the Lost City.

She was a little worried about the other person.

"The power here has suppressed my strength, but it's probably because I absorbed some of this power into my dreams before. I didn't lose all my strength like you did."

"I can appear in all the doors here, and I can also use the existing doors to clearly see the scenes inside and outside the doors."

Hearing his words, Peroz's eyes lit up.

"Could you please help me find my teacher?" As he spoke, Peroz rummaged through his treasure bag.

After a moment she felt awkward.

Although I brought a camera with me on this expedition, there were almost no frontal photos of Hogot in the pictures I took.

In the end, she could only select a few photos of Hogot's side profile that he had accidentally seen and handed them over to the Holy Gate.

"Of course." The Holy Gate nodded.

After a moment, his expression turned serious. "I see...your teacher doesn't seem to be in good condition."

"He was imprisoned in a house...or rather, a prison, near the library."

Peroz's expression grew tense.

"Teacher, is he in danger?"

"It doesn't look like it yet. He seems to be in a coma at this moment."

"Mr. Men, do you know who did it?" Peroz asked in a low voice.

The Divine Gate shook his head. "If we were outside, we might be able to find some clues, but right now... I can only see what's happening now. There's no way to trace back to what happened in the past."

"But don't worry, I will help you. Please put your hand on my door."

Peroz placed his hand on the Holy Gate without hesitation.

In an instant, her perspective changed.

She seemed to be able to see all the scenes inside and outside the doors from the perspective of the sacred door.

Naturally, she saw her teacher who was imprisoned in the house.

"Ms. Krolov, my mistress, in the Lost City, wherever there is a door, there is my presence."

"As long as you need my help, I can help you in this way."

In fact, the Sacred Gate can provide more help.

But that would make Peroz the unrivalled one here.

He felt that this was inconsistent with his role, so he restrained a lot of his strength - if he showed too much strength, there would be no chance of "sacrifice" in the end. Without the opportunity to "sacrifice", he would not be able to complete his role mission, and there would be no way for that master to "resurrect" him properly and become his disciple properly.

If there is no way to become that adult's disciple...

Thinking about the fact that this world suddenly lost more than half of its demigods, those who died or lost their power.

The Holy Gate couldn't help but shudder.

Anyway... no matter what! I must find a way to please Ms. Krolov and become that lady's disciple!

Looking at Peroz who was running down the mountain in a hurry because of his words, the Holy Gate silently made up its mind, and deduced the timing of its own appearance over and over again, thinking about how it could leave a deep impression on Ms. Krolov.

People say that being a human being is difficult.

The Sacred Gate feels more difficult to make.

On the other side, after learning about Hogot's situation, Peroz hurriedly bid farewell to the Sacred Gate and quickly returned to the Lost City.

Not long after entering the city gate, she met Salieri again.

"You're finally back!" After seeing Perozzi, Salieri showed a nervous expression, and then pulled her into a corner.

Peroz placed his hands on his waist and looked warily at the panicked Salieri.

"What happened?" Peroz asked in a low voice.

"Your companion, the guy named Hogot, has been caught!"

"I clearly told you guys not to easily interact with outsiders, why didn't he listen?!"

Chapter 364: Dilemma, Peroz's Choice

Salieri's tone was anxious, and there was some dissatisfaction in his expression.

Peroz seemed to be able to vaguely feel the anger in him at this moment.

There was not a trace of disguise, as if his behavior at this moment was the most real thought in his heart at this moment.

He was worried about the disappearance of Teacher Hogot, and was dissatisfied with him for not listening to his advice and choosing to act alone. This dissatisfaction even spread to himself.

The Holy Gate did not directly show her the scene of Hogot being captured. At this time, Peroz was just a little suspicious of Salieri because of the Holy Gate.

Those who doubted him were slightly shaken by the other party's superb disguise.

She tried to remain calm, then whispered, "I already know about the teacher. It's a very normal choice for him to make."

"After all, we can't trust you completely just by a name or some kindness."

"Everything we know about this city is what you told us. He...we want to know more about this city."

Salieri glared at Perozzi, "So you don't believe me?!"

"I'm really meddling in other people's business."

"It's just like before, it keeps happening over and over again."

"I thought you would be different from the others, but I didn't expect you to be no different from the others."

"That's fine."

"Don't expect me to save you like I did to those people before."

"I've had enough of this feeling of not being trusted!"

After saying these words, Salieri turned around, clenched his fist and punched the wall hard, then strode away.

Looking at the other person's back, Peroz opened his mouth and wanted to apologize several times, but in the end he didn't say anything. Regardless of whether the other person really had good intentions or not.

She didn't intend to let the other party get involved in what happened next.

This is your own business and you shouldn't involve others.

If the other party had good intentions, he might be hurt because of me. If the other party had bad intentions, it would put me, Hesper, and the teacher in danger.

"I seem to have hurt someone," Peroz whispered.

Hesper stood on tiptoe and waved his hand in front of Peroz.

"I didn't hurt anyone else. I don't know why, but I always feel that Uncle Salieri's behavior is strange..."

In fact, his feeling towards Salieri was not just strange, but he felt that there was an aura about the other party that he hated very much.

Every time they met, Hespel felt a sense of disgust towards him.

But he didn't know how to describe this emotion.

Because of the other party's performance just now, Hespel even doubted whether there was something wrong with his intuition.

Therefore, he finally just used the word "strange" to describe the other person.

"He must be hiding some secrets that he doesn't want us to know." Peroz said with a smile.

"Maybe he did something wrong to get out of here."

"But this matter has little to do with us. I just hope Mr. Salieri will not stand against us."

Peroz knew that to be able to survive in such a world for so long after losing his power, Salieri's behavior was definitely not as kind as she saw.

Similarly, although Peroz is kind, he is not the kind of person who can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

There are many things she has not experienced, so naturally she doesn't have much position to do anything.

At least for now, Salieri was helping her.

After talking about Salieri, Peroz looked at Hesper with a headache.

"I should have left you on the mountain and asked Mr. Men to take care of you."

Because he was too worried about Hogot's relationship, after knowing the other party's whereabouts, Peroz hurried down the mountain without thinking twice.

But after coming down the mountain and seeing Salieri, Peroz calmed down a little and began to regret it.

He and Hesper were acting too close.

The longer he stayed with himself, the greater the probability that the residents of the Lost City who were targeting himself and Teacher Hogot would attack him.

Keeping him with Mr. Men is the best option.

After all, that place is empty and lonely, and there don't seem to be many people. With Mr. Men there, as long as I leave some things behind, Mr. Men's special status will definitely protect him.

But after following him here, Peroz didn't know what to do with him.

If he went along with her, Peroz felt there was a high chance he would be harmed. If he was told to hide inside, there was a greater chance he would suddenly disappear.

"Are you afraid that I'll get hurt, sister?" Hesper asked.

Peroz nodded. His father's and even his ancestors' diaries contained many similar incidents that made them regret for the rest of their lives.

"Don't worry about me. I'm already a man and I'm not afraid of any danger." Hesper said seriously.

"Also...even though I have the dream of becoming the sun, I don't seem to understand this city at all, nor do I understand the other people in this city at all."

"So for me, this is also an opportunity to follow Sister Peroz and see a side of this city that I don't know."

"I'm very lucky." As he spoke, Hesper showed a sunny smile.

Looking at his appearance, Peroz couldn't help but reach out and rub his hair hard.

"He's clearly a little brat, but he's pretending to be an adult."

"But the ambition is quite good."

"Locks said: Where there is a will, there is a way. Perhaps you can really achieve your goal."

Becoming the sun might sound impossible, but it's not absolutely impossible.

Who can predict what will happen in the future?

"My sister really likes her boyfriend and always talks about him." Hesper said with a smile.

"You will understand many things when you grow up." Peroz blushed slightly, then gently tapped his forehead.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just follow me. It might be dangerous, and you might die, but I will protect you well."

"I also want to see if you can become the sun hanging in the sky."

As she spoke, Peroz placed her hands on the doors of the surrounding houses. Through the perspective of the Holy Gate, she quickly found her next route.

After giving Hesper more instructions, Peroz slowed down his pace and kept searching for secret paths in the corners of the city as he headed towards his destination.

Not long after, Peroz appeared around the house where Hogot was imprisoned.

Compared to other houses, there were many people wandering around the house where Hogot was imprisoned.

They looked like idlers, but also like people guarding the house.

Although no one looked energetic, the distribution of dozens of people vaguely surrounded all corners of the manor.

It was almost impossible to sneak in without being seen by them, especially with Hesper as a burden.

Peroz thought about it and retreated to the corner.

Then she found some old wood from the corner, and after some simple processing, a dilapidated door appeared at her hand.

She placed her hand inside the door and easily felt the power of the sacred door.
